International Waters
More often than not, water knows no political boundaries. Globally, more than 280 watersheds and over 300 aquifers cross the political boundaries of two or more countries. These watersheds cover about one-half of the earth's land surfaces and are home to about 40% of the global population. The majority of the world's Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs) are shared by two or more countries. LMEs are responsible for over 85% of the world's fish catch and provide a suite of ecosystem services such as essential spawning habitats, natural coastal protection, and carbon sequestration and storage.
The GEF International Waters focal area was established to support countries to jointly manage their transboundary surface water basins, groundwater basins, and coastal and marine systems to enable the sharing of benefits from their utilization. Through the IW focal area, the GEF attends to a unique demand in the global water agenda: fostering transboundary cooperation and building trust between states that often find themselves locked in complex and long-lasting water-use conflicts.
The goal of the IW focal area is to promote collective management for transboundary water systems and subsequent implementation of the full range of policy, legal, and institutional reforms and investments contributing to sustainable use and maintenance of ecosystem services. One of the key factors behind the long-term success of the IW focal area has been its consistent overall goal and strategic approach, including joint fact-finding, multi-country strategic planning, and implementation of governance reforms and investments.

GEF IW: LEARN aims to strengthen International Waters management by facilitating structured learning and information sharing among stakeholders. In pursuit of this global objective, IW: LEARN improves GEF IW projects' information base, replication efficiency, transparency, stakeholder ownership, and sustainability of benefits.
To further increase the South-to-South exchange of experiences, an international waters conference is organized every two years to bring together country representatives from all GEF international waters projects.

What is a good app for image triage? When I say image triage, I mean something that will:
Currently, I use BreezeBrowser. It's pretty good, and it reads Canon .CRW files. If anyone has a better app recommendation, let me know. I have a Canon Powershot G1 (main "art photography" camera) as well as a Nikon Coolpix 3700.

Hello there,
My current permalink setttings are set to just: /%postname%/
I have a custom page template that has one simple $_GET variable. I actually use this $_GET variable to assist me with querying certain posts and outputting them in XML.
For example: http://domain.com/my-xml-page?type=someterm
I'd like to figure out how I can possibly clean up this url as such:
The thing is, I only want this to apply this specific page template. Not all of WordPress.
Anybody know of a solution? Thanks for your help!

I cannot get the print icon to show in the share section. If I use sprites the print icon doesn't show, even though it's checked, and it throws the rest of the line of icons out. If I use the Share and Follow single images the icons stay in line but there's still no print icon. When I look at the code the
<li> for the print icon is greyed out. Is this a problem with the CSS?

Salt and Savour makes sauerkraut in the traditional fermentation method. What is this method, you might ask? It's a simple process and rather miraculous: the shredded cabbage leaves and spices (like caraway, horseradish, ginger) age in a salt brine – all of which is organic, of course. The vegetables are held below the line of liquid, keeping oxygen out and the bacteria residing on the cabbage leaves goes to work. These bacteria thrive in this oxygen starved environment, where they feed on the natural sugars in the cabbage produce lactic acid – which is the sauer in sauerkraut. Nope, it's not vinegar. Speaking of bacteria; these are the little critters which populate a healthy gut and assist in digestion. So not only does this wonderfully rich flavorful sauerkraut help spice up a meal, it also spices up your life by contributing to your health.
We've been growing steadily since our recent founding in July 2013. You can find us regularly at farmers markets in Redding, Dunsmuir and Mt Shasta as well as at a number of stores in the far-northern California region. Customer support has been key to our growth. Customers are actually driving demand for Salt and Savour Sauerkraut at local stores. If you're interested in finding our product near you, please talk to management at your favorite store ; )

By Ms. Valecia Dunbar (Army Medicine)June 4, 2013
Two-hundred and thirty-eight years ago, our Nation's leaders established the Continental Army, beginning a rich heritage of successfully defending this great country and her citizens. America's greatest generations are built on the strength of America's strongest citizens -- U.S. Soldiers. Today, we celebrate the continued honor, loyalty and bravery of our Soldiers in this noble calling.
As we celebrate our Army's birthday, we are reminded of our Active and Reserve Component Soldiers still serving in Afghanistan, we're reminded of our National Guard Soldiers conducting operations in support of our homeland and we're reminded of our Veterans past and present who served under the same flag.
As we celebrate with the American public, the Army emphasizes key campaigns focusing on a Ready and Resilient force, Soldier for Life, and The Army Profession to communicate our ongoing efforts to service to the nation and enable future strength.
The Ready and Resilient campaign leverages lessons learned over the last 12 years of war and incorporates resilience in an effort to improve individual, family and unit readiness. This will shape the way the Army recruits, trains, cares for and transitions its Soldiers and Civilians, while supporting Families. Ready and Resilient provides unity of effort across the Total Army to refine policies, prioritizes resources, effectively synchronizes and optimizes programs and services, focus training, and strengthen the Army Profession.
The Soldier for Life mindset is a holistic approach to the military life cycle career of a Soldier. The U.S. Army takes care of teammates by ensuring Soldiers start strong, serve strong, and reintegrate strong so they remain Army Strong serving their communities after they leave the Army. The U.S. Army's strategic imperative of sustaining the All-Volunteer Army is directly affected by how well the Veterans reintegrate back into the communities.
The Army is committed to ensuring lifelong success for our Soldiers and their families by connecting them with opportunities for employment, education and healthcare post military service. The Army continuously refines its Army Career and Alumni Program that provides Soldiers a host of transition services, counsel, and training onsite and online.
During Calendar Year 2013, the United States Army launched the "America's Army -- Our Profession" program to enhance the education and training of Army professionals. This will prepare Army leaders to be regionally engaged and globally responsible. This program will generate an inspirational and aspirational dialog for Soldiers and civilians to reaffirm their understanding of themselves as professionals, recommit to a culture of service, and serve in accordance with the Army Ethic and culture. The Army Profession--where Military Expertise, Honorable Service, Esprit de Corps and Stewardship are all built on a foundation of Trust--strengthens the force through periods of transition, reinforces our identity, and provides the critical foundation for the Army of 2020.
The Nation's freedom rests in the hands of our Soldiers, Families and Civilians who defend "The Stars and Stripes." Their dedication makes them the strength of our Army. The strength of our Nation is our Army, the strength of our Army is our Soldiers, the strength of our Soldiers is our Families, this is what makes us Army Strong.
Our Army celebrates over two centuries of defending freedom, our flag and democracy around the world. To all those who serve both at home and abroad, to their families who continue to endure, and to the civilians who support them, "Happy 238th Birthday."
The Army will celebrate its 238th birthday from Armed Forces Day (May 18) through to Independence Day (July 4).

Securing and Stabilizing Iraq:
An Assessment of the U.S. Joint Campaign Plan for Iraq
GAO-10-584R: Published: Apr 22, 2010. Publicly Released: Apr 22, 2010.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-8979
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for fiscal year 2010, GAO is required to assess the extent to which the campaign plan for Iraq and supporting documents adhere to military doctrine, including the extent to which they (1) identify and prioritize the conditions that must be achieved in each phase of the campaign plan, (2) report the number of combat brigade teams and other forces required for each campaign phase, and (3) estimate the time needed to reach the desired end state and complete the military portion of the campaign. This report must be provided to Congress no later than 180 days after the enactment of the NDAA, or by April 26, 2010. The NDAA also states that GAO should notify Congress in writing if a previously submitted report meets the requirements to report on the campaign plan for Iraq. Further, the act requires that GAO submit an updated report when the campaign plan is substantially updated or altered, with the requirement ending on December 31, 2011. Our September 2009 classified report--Securing and Stabilizing Iraq: U.S. Drawdown Plans Should Include Contingency Plans for Use If Key Assumptions about Security Conditions and Iraqi Capabilities Prove Wrong--meets the NDAA requirement. We note that the Commanding General of U.S. Forces-Iraq (USF-I) recently reported that he had developed contingency plans for use if the security situation deteriorates during the drawdown of U.S. troops.

AES E-Library
The Vibrating String as an Audio-Frequency Circuit Element
A non-magnetic wire under tension in a magnetic field possesses many of the properties of a high-Q resonant LC circuit. The vibrating wire element has excellent stability and extremely high Q. These features, plus the fact that the wire can be tuned over a wide range of frequencies by varying the tension, result in a device which can be adapted to the measurement of physical variables used as a frequency or time standard or used as a bandpass filter or frequency discriminator in communication and control circuits.

With Spring break around the corner, many people are looking for a cheap vacation, but want to avoid all the students who have the same idea. If you are willing to think outside the typical Spring Break destinations, there are many deals to be had. Kelli Grant, Senior Consumer Reporter for SmartMoney.com, examines some of those places.
Hawaii is still a budget-buster for most college students because of the long-haul flight. Prices start at about $500 if you're leaving from LA. But lodging is pretty cheap, even now during peak season. Outrigger and Ohana resorts, which operate 23 properties on four islands, have dropped rates by up to 65% for travel through April 30. Prices start at $79 per night.
College students take over many of Florida's beaches, but the theme parks in Orlando remain the domain of families. If you can avoid traveling over Easter weekend, the deals are even great on park properties. Disney has cut room prices by 25% to 40% through March 27, and then starting up again April 11. You'll pay as little as $79 for a standard room.
New York is among top Spring Break destinations, but there are so many people here that you don't really notice an influx of partying students like you do in other, smaller cities. Hotel prices are still low, with many three- and four-star properties offering sales of up to 40%.
Everybody parties in Las Vegas, student or no. Bing Travel found the total cost for a weeklong trip for two is down 14% compared with last year. You could pay just $200 or $300 apiece. Many casinos are also offering over-the-top freebies, including spa credits, casino chips and show tickets.
And, finally, if you really want to go to a Spring break hotspot, deals to Mexico and the Bahamas are amazing right now. Many packages are offering discounts of more than 60%. If you want to hit those spots but avoid the college students, look to high-end resorts and all-inclusive properties. Or forgo say, Cancun itself for vacation resorts or rentals in outlying areas.

Mitt Romney, Book Reviewer
Mitt Romney recently used the New Republic writer Noam Scheiber's book on the internal struggles in the Obama administration over fiscal policy and health care—"The Escape Artists: How Obama's Team Fumbled the Recovery"—as a club to bludgeon President Obama:
"In this book, they point out that they said the American people will forget how long the recovery took," Romney said. "So that means they went into this knowing that when they passed Obamacare, it was going to make life harder for the American people."
Didn't he realize Scheiber, a liberal, might pipe up to object? However, as it turns out, Scheiber does not dismiss Romney's interpretation quite as thoroughly as, for example, New York magazine writer (and New Republic alumnus) Jonathan Chait, who writes, "Romney's account is wildly wrong" and quotes comments from the economist and White House official Larry Summers concurring with that view. Here's what Scheiber says:
I can't give Romney the full "you know nothing of my work" treatment ["Annie Hall" reference]. While he's definitely misrepresenting Summers and the administration, there's a kernel of truth to his interpretation…. I argue that Obama really was more focused on long-term, historically significant accomplishments than marginal, near-term differences in the pace of the recovery. On some level, Obama was prepared to accept (and I'm making up these numbers for argument's sake) three years of painfully high unemployment with health care reform rather than 30 months of painfully high unemployment without it.
Now, I happen to think this was a reasonable tradeoff…even if I might have made a different call. But it was a trade-off nonetheless (even if the White House rejects this). And for the average voter who's upset that unemployment has been so high for so long, it's something they need to consider when evaluating Obama's record.

- Needs documentation unset
- Needs tests unset
- Patch needs improvement unset
Oh, hit submit too fast. Basically, the callable-form emits, when used in a ModelForm (for example the admin), the following hidden initial-field:
<input type="hidden" name="initial-child1_set-0-foo" value="False" id="id_child1_set-0-foo" />
This has the effect that form.has_changed() is always True, so that extra forms of formsets are always considered for validation.
comment:2 Changed 7 years ago by alex@…
Ok, I found out that I can work around by returning None instead of False from the callable, the value="" attribute is left out in the hidden initial. A possible fix would be to make the CheckboxInput widget accept u"False" as False in the _has_changed check, or by preventing the hidden initial field from having value="False" in the first place.

I looked under admin-in my dashboard and there weren't many to choose from. I have been to multiple sites and have seen that there were options to have different layouts (there was a distinction between those that were free and premium- I am a free member currently)
After looking I kept seeing instructions for 2.3 and not 2.7.
I came to wordpress.org and to my surprise found ALOT of layouts but I don't know how to get them on my page.
Can someone help me?

Clinton: How Do We Help Syrians Defend Themselves?
Just a few days ago, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was in Tunis, Tunisia, meeting her counterparts from dozens of countries and issuing an ultimatum to Syrian President Bashar Assad to silence his guns and allow in humanitarian aid.
Heard On 'Morning Edition'
Extended Clinton Interview
While in Morocco, before flying home to Washington, D.C., Clinton talked to NPR's Michele Kelemen.
Syrian tanks continue to batter homes, and no aid is getting in. So what are allies of the Syrian people to do?
"We have to continue to consult with those who truly are friends of the Syrian people," Clinton said, "which of course includes the United States and the many governments and organizations that gathered in Tunis on Friday. We are doing everything we can to facilitate humanitarian aid."
She added that the United States and others must continue to "ratchet up the pressure" because Syria "is an increasingly isolated regime."
And, she said, nations must "push for a democratic transition by working with and trying to build up the opposition so they can be an alternative."
Syria is "one of the most highly militarized, best defended countries on Earth," Clinton said, "because of course they spent an enormous amount of money with their Iranian and Russian friends so equipping themselves.
"Even if you were to somehow smuggle in automatic weapons of some kind, you're not going to be very successful against tanks. So the dilemma is how do we try to help people defend themselves ... ?"

Mumps as a disease of military personnel may be exceedingly troublesome, causing loss of time from duty and interfering with the movement of troops. Extensive investigations were therefore undertaken by Enders and his associates1 of Harvard Medical School in hope of developing specific diagnostic methods for doubtful cases and the discovery of a successful prophylactic vaccine.
In their initial experiments about 3 cc. of saliva collected on the first and second days of the disease in a typical human attack was introduced into the Stensen duct of a monkey (Macacus mulatta). On the fifth day the gland, which was somewhat enlarged, was removed, emulsified and inoculated into both ducts of a second monkey. On the seventh day the second animal presented swelling of both parotid glands with subcutaneous edema of both cheeks. In this way the virus was passed through a series of monkeys, some of which received bacteriologically

Thursday's letters: ABC system
Published: Thursday, February 10, 2011 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 9, 2011 at 8:10 p.m.
To the Editor: In August 2010, the Hendersonville City Council unanimously passed a resolution supporting North Carolinas current alcoholic beverage control system. This resolution was sent to Gov. Bev Perdue, and we were pleased that Gov. Perdue has decided not to pursue privatizing the ABC system. On behalf of the council, I want to thank Gov. Perdue for her stance on this issue.
The governor initially considered privatization due to abuses by a few ABC boards and as a method of raising revenue for the state during these difficult economic times. However, after 2010 legislation tightening the ethical standards for ABC boards and careful review of the report of outside consultants who reviewed the ABC system, including potential revenues for the state, she determined the current system serves our citizens well.
Last year, the states general fund received $200 million from the ABC system. Hendersonville, Henderson County, our public schools and the library received distributions of $220,000. This funding is a welcome source of revenue locally, but equally as important is the ability of local governments to determine where and how alcoholic beverages are sold in the community.
We urge the General Assembly to follow the governors lead in keeping our current system intact.
Barbara G. Volk
Mayor, City of Hendersonville
Gun control
To The Editor: OK, Mr. Urbaitis. I was seduced by your temptation of substituting words of the Second Amendment, or as you say, inconsequential verbal distinction. I think the only truth hurting here is your distorted view of the amendment since you fail to address my clarification and choose to focus on extreme incidents that would not have been prevented by the gun control you seem to worship.
Im not a gun worshipper, and I dont pretend to avoid the real issue. Its a real tragedy when a madman uses a gun to kill innocent people, and all reasonable efforts should be used to prevent this. Repeal of the Second Amendment isnt reasonable. I suppose if the Tucson and Columbine killers had used improvised explosive devices, they could have killed many more. I think you dream of an unrealistic world where rigorous gun control laws would prevent these acts.
Questions for you: Do you really believe that outlawing citizens from owning guns will prevent criminals from obtaining them? Would you feel safer knowing that only criminals and those chosen by the government would possess firearms? I think that most rational people, even those of us with fragile manhood, would disagree with you.
Rob Miller
Social unrest
To The Editor: Mr. Jopson assures us that social unrest is right around the corner in America. His wistful assessment of an imminent uprising of our unemployed really made me think. I realized how easy it is to be a fear-monger without concern for the facts or the consequences.
We are hardly a heartbeat away from violence in our streets. In fact, thanks to our national addiction to violence, it is already rampant in the streets and homes of America.
Apparently, thats not enough for him. Like all addicts, he wants more. Hence his geopolitical nightmare scenario.
America is not Egypt. Conflating them distorts the reality of each. Imagine millions of well-armed Americans filling the streets of our major cities, those for the government and those against. I dont think they would merely hurl stones. Mass murder would follow, an activity to which weve become accustomed in our schools, malls, churches and homes, as American as apple pie.
Mr. Jopsons assessment is nothing more than a projection of his fervid violent imaginings. Its sad that so much effort went into what is, after all, nothing more than a tired political tirade. As the old saying goes, Much thunder, little rain.

A Return to Title IV aid calculation must be conducted for students who withdraw or take a leave of absence and receive federal aid and/or loans. This may cause a reduction in federal financial aid and/or loans, resulting in a balance due.

The good news is none of us have to put up with each other any more. Seattle passive aggressive is finally out the window because SPD has made it abundantly clear that we can all kill with absolute impunity (unless of course you're black. In that case you should be careful not to even drive a car much less litter. SPD has special rules for blacks still, of course.)
"remain vigilant"? How about move the hell of Capital Hill?
And a wondering murderer on Capital Hill, what is THAT going to do to property values?
I wonder if he truly is wandering
just sayin
So Methhead McRapeypants or whomever that guy wasn't nabbed by the DNA test?
Well, shit.
You know, shit like this really makes me worry as I'm searching for a new roommate.
But I thought Slog already convicted that guy. What gives?
I'm looking for a roommate too. I'm dead. Dead. DEAD! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
Slog didn't convict anyone, dude. Please feel free to provide evidence of your crrrrazy statement.
Ah Mr Poe, you are making me laugh today. Now stop living safe and start looking for that roommate. I would hit Cal Anderson Park around 11pm for a great selection!
Woot! No, really, what is it with people and hating cats? Fuck everyone. Y'all STINK. Weeee!
You know Poe, I've got an empty room in a three bedroom... wait. You're probably looking for someone to move into your place, aren't you?
No. Moving to the hill. Everybody says "no pets" or "we already have a cat/dog, no more" and most of these people sound like they'd be fucking hell to live with.
But how do I know you're not THE KILLER!?!?!?!
(public e-mail, not personal. so sock puppetry won't work with it. just an fyi to all of those who are jealous of me)
#13 is not me. Grrrr!
Remember, if you're not living in Fear, GWB thinks you're not patriotic.
Mr. Poe, how would you and your kitty feel about living in a crawl space? I may be able to move some bodies around to make room for you...
ITS FUCKING CAPITOL people CAPIT-O-L, and its about time they rounded up all the bearded, hat wearing white men on the hill...Thats half the population...
Early articles said that Shannon was heard saying something right before or after the attack, but nothing else has come from that. If it was something generic such as "help" or "stop" it seems like the police would release that info. The fact that they will not reveal what she said is interesting, makes me wonder if she said something that would identify the killer somehow. Just a thought.
And people better stop spelling it "Freemont" or I'm gonna...
Well, you know I'm not the killer because I say so. Silly Poe. :D
Depending on how the interviews we've already got lined up go, I might just be sending you an email, Mr. Poe.
Is anyone else concerned that the 29 YO they have failed to connect to THIS crime might get set free? Let's see, what was the quote by his ex-wife...something like "it was only a matter of time before he killed someone" ?
Yeah, let that guy go.
They've increased police patrols on the hill? Perhaps they'll stop, or respond to at least, a gay bashing or two.

DelicateDesert: JeffR, I agree. Giving the County more money to mismanage is NOT the solution.
The Good Old Boys Club in the County needs a good old fashioned kick in the derrière.
Friday, July 5, 2013, 12:19 pm
JerryR: If the County was serious about supporting Raytheon they would stop suing Raytheon. The county keeps trying to "jack them up" with excessive taxes. they appeal their property taxes to the county (we all know how that works, unless you're Huckleberry of course). Raytheon next appeals to the state. The state agrees with Raytheon and reduces their tax rate to what it should be, and then of course the county sues Raytheon in superior court to get more taxes out of them. Don't believe me.. here are the links to the cases: http://www.superiorcourt.maricopa.gov/docket/CivilCourtCases/caseInfo.asp?caseNumber=TX2012-000007 ; http://www.superiorcourt.maricopa.gov/docket/CivilCourtCases/caseInfo.asp?caseNumber=TX2012-000781 ; http://www.superiorcourt.maricopa.gov/docket/CivilCourtCases/caseInfo.asp?caseNumber=TX2010-001041 ; http://www.superiorcourt.maricopa.gov/docket/CivilCourtCases/caseInfo.asp?caseNumber=TX2010-000308
Chuck has the gall to say he can't fix the roads without more tax dollars. He is the one who has been in charge over the past 25 years as the roads has crumbled. He has mismanged the state HURF funds - give him more tax dollars and he'll just funnel it to his cronies and not fix the roads.

Miami -- A Florida veterinarian is recommending people keep their black cats indoors around Halloween, despite evidence that many fears are unfounded.
Patty Khuly of Miami said in a USA Today article there is no statistical evidence supporting urban legends of black cats being taken for satanic practices during Halloween, or any increase in animal abuse during the season, but it's better to keep the cats inside during the season to avoid any risk.
Khuly said keeping cats and dogs inside and out of sight during Halloween can also help them avoid the stress of children and adults running around in costumes.

SEOUL, March 20 (Yonhap) -- A South Korean consumer advocacy group said Wednesday it plans to lodge a class action suit against local banks over their practice of imposing unduly high spreads on lending rates.
The Financial Consumer Agency said it will seek to accept cases of financial damage caused by banks' higher lending rates and to file a class action suit as local banks unduly charged higher spreads on lending.
The move came one day after prosecutors raided the headquarters of Korea Exchange Bank (KEB) to investigate allegations that it deliberately charged higher spreads on lending rates for smaller firms. KEB's move is estimated to have generated profits worth more than 18 billion won (US$16.1 million).
Usually, spreads are calculated based on borrowers' creditworthiness and the value of collateral, but KEB is suspected of randomly hiking the spreads between 2006 and 2012.
The advocacy agency said that other banks might have engaged in such similar practices, calling for authorities to expand the investigation into other banks.
It added that a combined profit from unduly charged spreads might have amounted to more than 5 trillion won for the past 10 years.
The spread charged on banks' household lending rate is estimated to be as high as 8 percentage points with an average of such spreads hitting 3.8 percentage points, industry data showed.
The central bank's key rate stood at 2.75 percent in March and the average rate for banks' new loans to households and firms stood at 5 percent in January.
If the probe is to be expanded, Korean banks will inevitably face further setbacks in a situation where they suffer from squeezed profit margins amid the central bank's easing cycle and the economic slowdown.
Korean banks' profits are mostly generated from interest income as the portion of non-interest income is marginal.

We stayed here for 1 night and that's enough. We woke up at 4am because the room temperature was at 29. Tried to adjust it but it didn't work... The shower handle is very hard to use, from cold to hot only have 4 levels, so you probably won't get the water temp that you are comfortable with, either too cold or too hot. Bath towels were dirty.

Like you, I'll never forget the Miracle of Lake Placid. But my reasons may be a little different from yours.
I was 12 years old in February of 1980. I was an eighth-grader in New York City; and like everyone else, I was completely swept up in the celebration when the Americans stunned the Soviets in the Winter Olympics. I still remember where I was when I watched the U.S. finish the Finnish for the gold medal two days later.
Then came Feb. 25th, the Monday after the games. I was in the locker room at school, changing for gym class, when the chant started up.
From every corner of the room, we shouted and pounded on lockers, all of us, just like thousands of American kids did that day. Only in our case, it was different. Most of us weren't American.
I was a student at the United Nations International School, where more than half of the student body is made up of children of U.N. diplomats. My classmates came from all over the world. Luyen was from China. Justin was from France. Jean-Francis was from Canada. Henry was from Madagascar. I was from New York.
But together, we chanted that day, and celebrated a win that belonged not to a nation but to everyone who believes in the American Dream.
The Miracle on Ice is, inarguably, the greatest moment in sports history. We had never seen anything like it before, and we will definitely never see anything like it again.
Nike has seen to that. Reebok, too. And the NBA, and the NHL, and McDonald's. The list of co-conspirators includes everyone who approaches the Olympics with an open palm, which means pretty much everybody.
In 1992, America sent the Dream Team to Barcelona to play basketball: Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing. The reason given? The embarrassment of John Thompson's flawed collection of collegians failing to take home gold in Seoul in 1988.
That was an excuse, at best. The impetus behind the NBA invasion was purely financial. It was David Stern's dream of globalization and Nike's plan of planetary domination that led to the greatest collection of basketball talent ever assembled traveling across the Atlantic to humiliate Angola. They played eight games, the closest of which was decided by 32 points.
Jordan, who begged to be allowed out of the Barcelona Games after his Bulls had won back-to-back NBA titles, draped himself in the American flag when it was over. Not because he'd been overcome by nationalistic fever suddenly, mind you. Michael is a Nike guy, and he needed something to cover the Reebok logo on his sweat suit.
How proud did you feel to be an American that day? I wonder how many gym locker rooms across the country broke into a spontaneous chant of "U-S-A."
That was the day I decided I could no longer root for the Americans in Olympic basketball. In fact, I look forward to the day they lose -- and they will, eventually. Maybe this year in Athens; maybe some other time. But it is inevitable. They will lose and I will smile, because that team won't be about nationalism. It will only be about greed.
There are many who call me unpatriotic for rooting against an American team in the Olympics. To them, I say that I judge my nations on criteria a little more significant than the way they play basketball. If you think a person's patriotism is proved by his passion for a bunch of millionaires doing their corporate partners' bidding in a pointless exercise that means nothing to any of them, then I think that says more about you than it does about me.
Which brings us back to Lake Placid. I recommend that anyone under the age of 30 go see the movie "Miracle" -- which, I'm told, does a sensational job of recreating the emotion of that night 24 years ago. I don't plan to see it. I don't need to; I remember it just fine.
But I would go under one circumstance: If Luyen, Justin, Jean-Francis and Henry came with me.
I sure would like to chant with my fellow Americans one more time.

La Paz Travel Guide: 95 reviews and 213 photos
A private little ship (Beauport) sea journey from La Paz to San Carlos, Mexico. There have been many stopovers, but I only included one from Puerto Ballandra at Isla Carmen. It is an isolated, unpopulated coastal area with eight beaches, an interior salt lagoon and a rock formation called "El Hongo" (the mushroom) which has become the symbol of La Paz (Baja California Sur).The rest of the video is about San Carlos, which is a beautiful beachfront subdivision within the port city of Guaymas, in the northern state of Sonora in Mexico. It is noted for the exceptional clarity and warmth of the ocean water in its shallow bays. It lies on the body of water known as the Gulf of California or Sea of Cortez. Given the size of the city, with nearly 7,000 inhabitants.There are also many Americans and Canadians that live in San Carlos during the winter as the summer months are very hot and humid. There are many opportunities to fish, scuba dive, and relax on the beach.

Rule violations are likely to serve as key contexts for learning to reason about public identity. In an initial study with 91 children aged 4–9 years, social emotions and self-presentational concerns were more likely to be cited when children were responding to hypothetical vignettes involving social-conventional rather than moral violations. In 2 further studies with 376 children aged 4–9 years, experimental manipulations of self-focused attention (either by leading children to believe they were being video-recorded or by varying audience reactions to transgressions) were found to elicit greater attention to social evaluation following moral violations, although self-presentational concerns were consistently salient in the context of social-conventional violations. The role of rule transgressions in children's emerging self-awareness and social understanding is discussed.

Little Ted, of Play School fame, is in the Otago
Settlers Museum in Dunedin - minus his head.
His fate was questioned recently after the Play School clock
was discovered in the Invercargill Public Library.
Other cast members Manu, Big Ted, Jemima and Humpty are at Te
Papa, in Wellington.
The popular children's show was first filmed in Dunedin in
Museum curator Peter Read said Little Ted was acquired
following a reunion in 2005.
Joining him on display was Grubber the Kiwi, a late addition
to the show, and Humpty's cousin Harry, from the country.
They were classed as "secret treasures" of the museum's vast
Speaking of the somewhat charred body of the bear, Mr Read
said "they got a bit carried away" during filming of the
final show in 1989.
"We had hoped that somebody still has his head . . ."
Speaking of the incident in which Little Ted lost his head,
former presenter Barry Dorking, now a Dunedin lawyer, said it
was a "joke" on the final day of filming which was never
intended to go to air.
However, he was not the "cheeky" Ted used most often on the
He was an "old Little Ted" which had been around since the
show's beginnings.
"What's often forgotten is that the soft toys got a lot of
use and had to be replaced," he said.
He did not know where the "real Little Ted", as he called
him, was.

The European Commission's science and knowledge service
35% of the European land area is covered by forests, which represent 25% of the world's forest resources. Forests provide habitats and nutrients for organisms, modulate hydrologic flow, and help conserve soil resources. They constitute one of the most important aspects of the biosphere. They also deliver services such as carbon storage, helping to regulate the climate, purify water and mitigate natural hazards such as floods. Forests also contain roughly 90% of the world's terrestrial biodiversity. It is essential that information be shared to help protect European and tropical forests and ensure their sustainable management.
The JRC supports the implementation of the EU Forestry Strategy, the EU Forest Action Plan and the EU initiative on forest protection. The JRC also contributes to the Europe 2020 targets and in particular to the "Resource Efficient Europe" flagship initiative. It participates in the development of European climate change policies, and it supports multilateral environmental agreements such as the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the Forest Law Enforcement Governance and Trade (FLEGT) Action Plan.
The JRC supports the development of a framework for the assessment of policy options that identifies ways to maintain and improve sustainable forest management practices, and enhance forest health and vitality. The JRC assesses the status of EU and global forest resources and investigates the roles that forests play in supporting economic and ecological services, particularly with respect to natural and anthropogenic threats.
The JRC delivers policy-relevant information on the status and trends of forests. It derives this information from advanced remote sensing, forest models and multi-sectorial sources through its information systems and spatial modelling tools. This modelling framework is shared with key partners from global networks and international bodies.
Data harmonisation and improvement of access to information are among the major challenges facing the European forestry sector. One of the main objectives of the JRC is to establish a Forest Information System for Europe (FISE), which should include the European Forest Data Centre (EFDAC) as well as the European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS) as the focal point for forest information at a European level. EFDAC is being built in compliance with the guidelines of the Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe (INSPIRE), contributing to the development of the Shared Environmental Information System (SEIS).
The European population and its socioeconomic interests put great pressure on Europe's forest resources, which are subject to fragmentation, atmospheric pollution, degradation and climate effects such as forest fires. In Europe, 65 000 fires occur each year, burning around 500 000 ha of forest and vegetation. To encourage good governance of European forests, the JRC monitors the status and trends of European forests in relation to forest extent and fragmentation, forest species distribution and the influence of climate change.
More information:
EFFIS – The European Forest Fire Information System
Each year around 13 million hectares are deforested worldwide. 96% of this annual deforestation occurs in tropical regions. The JRC helps developing countries to improve the sustainable management of their forest resources by providing timely and up-to-date information on the location and condition of forest resources, land-use changes and deforestation trends. The JRC also addresses forest cover and cover change issues with respect to EU commitments to multilateral environmental agreements, especially to United Nations (UN) conventions.
The JRC provides quantitative measurements and maps the changes in forest resources relevant to EU policies on global environmental and forestry issues.
The JRC produces regional forest maps, tracks areas of rapid forest change and estimates forest cover change for the current and previous decades.
JRC tools for the monitoring of forest ecosystems include reference maps, indicators, and specific analyses. These tools rely heavily on the analysis of data from Earth observing satellites and monitoring techniques using radar technologies.

To reach its 2020 targets regarding Climate Change mitigation, the EU needs to consider all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. An estimated 15% of global GHG emissions can be traced back to tropical deforestation, and forest and peat degradation. The Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+) initiative is a global incentive approach that aims to reduce GHG emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

Forest ecosystems offer a range of services such as wood for timber, paper industries and energy, carbon sequestration, clean water, natural hazard protection, habitat provision, and recreation. The EU Biodiversity strategy to 2020 was adopted in May 2011 with the ambitious aim of halting the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services in the EU by 2020. To reach this goal, targets have been defined, including mapping and assessment of ecosystem services and condition, a better protection for ecosystems and more use of green infrastructure.
The EU Green Infrastructure (GI) strategy was adopted in 2013. GI is a strategically planned network of natural and semi-natural areas with other environmental features designed and managed to deliver a wide range of ecosystem services. GI can play an important role in protecting, conserving and enhancing the EU's natural capital. It aims to enhance the connectivity between protected and unprotected areas, rendering ecosystems more resilient and addressing issues such as the impacts of forest change and fragmentation.
The JRC supports these policies by conducting research on mapping, modelling and valuation of forest ecosystem services, forest condition (including measuring and monitoring landscape fragmentation patterns and connectivity for the forest ecosystem and protected areas (Natura 2000)) and forest biodiversity.

The European Union uses biomass to meet its needs for food, energy, and materials. The demand for and supply of biomass have economic, environmental and social impacts. The policy framework for climate and energy in the period from 2020 to 2030 asks for an improved biomass policy to maximise the resource-efficient use of biomass and to allow for fair competition between the various uses of biomass resources. In line with the EU forest strategy, the use of forest biomass must encompass the sustainable management of forests. In order to provide a sound scientific basis for EC policy making in this domain, the JRC provides data, models and analysis on forest biomass supply, demand and its sustainability.
