Carbon Project
Target groups and target areas
Rural households in using traditional open 3-stone fire stoves in the Counties of Kitui and Nyeri in Kenya. Possibility of project extension to County of Machakos and Laikipia.
Impact objective
Households in Kitui and Nyeri County have improved living conditions and decreased their vulnerability towards climate change. Its main aim is to promote and disseminate energy efficient, clean and affordable cooking technologies among households in rural communities in Kitui Diocese.
To mitigate the negative impacts of the usage of traditional stoves by introducing energy efficient cook stoves to rural communities in central and south Kenya
To promote and disseminate energy efficient, clean and affordable cooking technologies among households in rural communities in the Counties Kitui and Nyeri in Kenya.
To install of 30'000 efficient cook stoves over a period of seven years in the target area.
Expected results
Through this project indoor air pollution will be reduced in families that have adopted the new mode of cooking. The new stoves have reduced the risk of fire accidents. The project will contribute to the sustainable development of the beneficiaries by reducing the amount of money and/or time spent on buying and/or collecting firewood. The reduction in firewood consumption helps to conserve forest vegetation and to reduce CO2-emissions, which are responsible for climate change. In addition, indoor air pollution will be reduced in families that have adopted the new mode of cooking. The new stoves have reduced the risk of fire accidents.
Technology chosen and implementation plan
The project cook stove is a brick-type rocket stove. Its design brings various benefits to the stove end-users. The stove reduces the firewood consumption by approximately 50% when a family moves from using open 3-stone fire to using the rocket stove.
The efficient cook stoves are directly built in the kitchen of the end-users using cement, baked soil bricks, sand and stones. Most of the stove components can be purchased for little money or built by the end-users (such as the baked soil bricks).
Thus, with relatively little investment, a robust stove can be built and maintained. The project plans to subsidize stove construction in order to enable financially disadvantaged families to benefit from the efficient stove technology. Relying on the existing organization structure of the implementing partners, potential end-users will be mobilized.
Further, local artisans will be trained in order to construct the cook stoves in the identified households. Hence, the project will contribute to green job creation through the establishment of local markets for improved stoves
Project area in Kitui
During the First Phase the project is covering Kanyangi Parish, Kavisuni Parish, Boma Parish and Mutune Parish.
Specific areas where the project is implemented are as follows:
Kanyangi Parish
Ngomoni Sub-location
Mandongoi Sub-location
Masimba Sub-Location
Muambani Sub-location
Kanyongonyo Location
Kavisuni Parish
Muvitha/Kathemboni Sub-location
Nthilani Sub –location
Kawongo Location
Boma Parish
Kalundu Sub-Location
Kaveta Sub –Location
Museve Parish
Museve &Kyalilini Sub locations
KwaNgindu & Misewani sub-locations
Mutune Parish
Mutulu location
Note: The implementation areas are marked by the administrative boundaries.
Mobilization was done through Barazas and in Churches in all the Target areas and it was in those forums that the artisans were targeted. Out of the 33 artisans chosen by the community, 28 artisans are Catholics active in Jumuiyas while 5 are from other churches
For now three hundred cook stoves have been constructed.

OTTAWA – The last time Jeff Reese suited up to play goalie wasn't as long ago as you think.
"Three weeks ago I put on the pads for the extra guys, but those were my own pads – and it wasn't a full team skate," Reese said.
Which made Monday morning so much different.
With Ray Emery needing the morning off to get a new passport, the Flyers goalie coach filled in as the second goalie at the morning skate. Afterward, sitting in a pool of sweat, Reese was laughing about his performance.
"That was tough," he said. "Especially with [Emery's] pads. During the power play, I was just standing on the goal line hoping it hit me."(Click "Full Story" for more...)

Intellectual disability
is often poorly understood because its effects vary greatly among those who have it. Many people with intellectual disability are mildly affected and may not be identified until later during school years. Individuals with intellectual disability may also have physical or emotional problems.
People with intellectual disability who have a very low intelligence quotient (IQ) have serious limitations in their ability to function. However, with early intervention and appropriate support, they can also lead satisfying lives. The goal of treating intellectual disability is to help children stay in the family and participate in community life. In most states in the United States, they are guaranteed education and other services.
Intellectual disability begins in childhood and is characterized by limitations in both intelligence and adaptive skills. The following three criteria must be met for a diagnosis of intellectual disability:
Any condition that impairs development of the brain before birth, during birth, or during childhood can cause intellectual disability. The main causes can be categorized as follows:
Genetic abnormalities may be inherited from parents or may be caused by environmental factors.
There are many genetic diseases are associated with intellectual disability. Examples include:
Use of
by a pregnant mother can cause intellectual disability.
can increase the risk, as well. Other risks during pregnancy include:
and low birth weight may sometimes lead to intellectual disability. However, other birth complications and conditions or physical stress in the newborn stage may injure an infant's brain.
Other conditions that can damage a child's brain and possibly lead to intellectual disability include:
In addition,
poisoning from lead,
carbon monoxide, and other environmental toxins can cause permanent damage to a child's brain and nervous system.
The American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD) has a process for diagnosing and classifying a person with intellectual disability. This process involves assessing the person's IQ and adaptive skills. Adaptive skills fall into three categories:
The best assistance for people with intellectual disability begins with diagnosis and help early in life. Treatment includes:
With enough education and support, many people with intellectual disability can learn to take care of their basic needs and to live in the community.
Newborn screening followed by proper treatment can prevent intellectual disability resulting from certain conditions. Examples include:
Vaccines can prevent certain infectious diseases that may lead to intellectual disability. Women who plan to become pregnant should be current on all recommended vaccinations, such as:
Other interventions that can reduce the risk of intellectual disability include:
Many parents also choose to have certain tests done during pregnancy, including ultrasound, amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling, and blood tests. These tests cannot prevent intellectual disability, but they can give parents more time to prepare for a child with intellectual disability.

|Escobar's offensive message on his eye-back is a black eye for baseball. (Getty Images)
Former Pittsburgh Pirates owner Kevin McClatchy waited until long after he sold the franchise before telling anyone but friends and family: He's gay. Why would McClatchy keep that a secret through 11 years as owner of the Pirates? Well, in another news item from last week, Blue Jays shortstop Yunel Escobar was suspended three games for writing a gay slur into his eye-black.
Those items are unrelated in the most basic sense. Literally, Escobar's homosexual slur had nothing to do with McClatchy's secret. Figuratively? They are intertwined, because Escobar's public slur -- combined with McClatchy's hidden homosexuality -- demonstrates that professional team sports still can't go where marriage, the military and the pulpit have gone.
|The homosexuality debate
|Related links
Pro sports? No gays allowed.
That's the message Escobar's Spanish slur sent, even if it's not the message he intended. Escobar said he didn't mean anything malicious by writing a gay slur in his eye-black, and I'll give him the benefit of the doubt: He didn't intend to offend anyone.
That doesn't change the fact that he did offend people -- me, for starters. No, I'm not gay, and I don't say that defensively, just factually. I suspect on the message board below this story, more than a few people will question my sexuality, and do it in a way they think would hurt my feelings. Well, it won't. Calling me "gay" is no different than calling me "woman" or "Hispanic." It wouldn't be an insult; it would be incorrect.
Anyway, Escobar offended me -- and lots of people like me -- when he wrote that slur into his eye-black. He offended gay people, too. I know, because some of my best friends are gay, and not in that vague sense that people like Escobar tend to say, "Some of my best friends are gay."
Not like that, no. Some of my best friends are gay. I've been to their weddings. Been to their funerals. Slept in their houses, and had them sleep in mine. That's what friends do. Friends also hurt for each other when someone does something as hurtful, intentionally or not, as Escobar did when he wrote that slur into his eye-black, or when Baltimore Democrat Emmett C. Burns scolded the Baltimore Ravens for "allowing" linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo to voice support for gay marriage, or when Nebraska running backs coach Ron Brown said "homosexuality is a sin."
Positions like those hurt lots of people, gay and straight, because it reminds us that there is still a segment of society that refuses to accept gay people on equal terms. If you're in that segment, I'm not saying you're homophobic. Uninformed? Yeah, I'm saying you're probably that. Look, I'm uninformed on hundreds of things, thousands of things, so many things that I don't even know where to begin. Literally, I don't know what I don't know. Neither do you. Neither does any of us.
But the idea that homosexuality is a choice -- a notion, I suspect, that fuels most of the anti-gay rhetoric out of people like Emmett C. Burns and Ron Brown -- is uninformed. It's wrong. It's not even debatable. Homosexuals are who they are, just as straight people are who they are. A person doesn't choose to be black or white, Asian or Hispanic, homosexual or straight. Find a gay person. Ask. You'll see.
For whatever reason professional sports remain a stronghold of sexuality exclusion, a place where gay men feel compelled to hide their sexuality from colleagues, bosses, the public. Then-Phoenix Suns president Rick Welts publicly came out as gay in 2011 after keeping it hidden for years, even as he became one of the most powerful executives in the NBA.
Not even someone as insulated as Pirates owner Kevin McClatchy -- he was the team's CEO; who was going to fire him? -- felt he could do something as small as watch a game with his boyfriend. According to a story in Sunday's New York Times, "McClatchy said that he frequently heard homophobic language during his days in baseball. It convinced him that keeping his sexual orientation hidden was best."
That's where we are with professional team sports in this country. Although gay rights remains a contentious issue that could well determine the next U.S. President, this country is evolving. Gays are elected officials. They teach school. They cannot oversee a pack of Boy Scouts, but they can openly serve in the U.S. military, they can get married (in certain states) and they can be clergy members (in certain faiths).
But they can't play in the NFL, the NBA or Major League Baseball -- not without fear of being ostracized in a culture where anti-gay sentiment is so prominent that a player wrote a homosexual slur on his own face.
Last week, a shortstop in Toronto wrote "maricon" into his eye-black. A few days later, a former owner in Pittsburgh admitted that he had hidden his homosexuality while running the team.
Those items aren't related.
Wait a minute -- yes they are.

Okay, it's reality-check time. Even if the Cardinals go one game under .500 for the rest of the way, they'll finish 88-74. For the Cubs to reach 88 wins, they'll have to go 28-17, a .622 winning percentage. Unlikely, since they're playing .513 baseball this year and are in danger of getting swept by a terrible 51-70 San Diego Padres team. Moreover, given the fact that the Cardinals have a pretty easy schedule for the rest of the way, it's safe to say that they won't play sub-.500 ball for the stretch. So, let's look at some other horrifying scenarios.
If the Cardinals merely continue at their .562 winning percentage, they'll finish 91-71. The Cubs would have to go 31-14 (.689 winning percentage) just to catch them.
If the Cardinals continue their second-half .633 winning percentage, they'll finish 93-69, and the Cubs will need to rattle off a 33-12 record (.733 winning percentage) in the final 45 games.
If the Cardinals continue on the pace they've set since acquiring Matt Holliday (.696 WP), they'll finish 96-66. To catch them, the Cubs would have to go 36-9 (.800 winning percentage) and the earth would have to split down the middle and swallow Busch Stadium: The Sequel whole.
The Cubs' Wild Card prospects are no better. They are currently 5 games back in the "race," and they're looking up at four teams. No matter what your stupid sign says, IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
So, Cubs, I ask you. How dumb are you? Too dumb to realize you're out of it? I hope not.
You see, here is the problem with the Cubs. You just know that in the next month and a half, they are going to do things like point at the run made at the end of the 2007 season by the Colorado Rockies or the run made by the 2005 Astros to get into the playoffs. Jim Hendry and Lou Piniella may say things like, "Hey, we're still in this thing." They are wrong (see above). Furthermore, there are two glaring issues with that method of thinking:
- The reason anyone in Colorado showed up to games at the end of the 2007 season, and the reason anyone paid attention to baseball instead of football in Texas in 2005 is because the runs that those teams went on were TOTAL FREAKS OF NATURE.
- What happened to the 2007 Rockies and 2005 Astros in the playoffs? Sure, they made the World Series, but they were promptly depantsed by the Sox color of the year.
Yes, it would be great to even be IN the World Series, but the ultimate goal of the franchise should be to WIN the World Series. And that's why what I'm about to propose will never happen. The front office has a "just make it into the playoffs and see what happens" mentality. So, we're likely going to be doomed in the next month and a half to watch the team "compete" for a playoff spot instead of planning for 2010. But IF I RAN THE CUBS, here is what I'd like to see happen as they play out the stretch.
- LOSE LOU. Sorry, Lou. You're a likable dude. You're the most entertaining and best manager the Cubs have had since
Don ZimmerJim Essian. You gave this team the kick in the ass it needed in 2007, and you led them to back-to-back playoff appearances. I hope you step down at the end of the year instead of getting fired, because I like you, but now you're just phoning it in. I get the impression that you steadfastly refuse to make smart baseball decisions (moving down Alfonso Soriano; shooting Kevin Gregg in the face) just because the media suggests it, and "you're the manager." When those decisions work out (batting Kosuke Fukudome and Milton Bradley 1-2 in the lineup), you inexplicably change back. You were flaky at best with your handling of Ryan Dempster's transition to starter and the first several attempts to move Soriano down in the lineup. But the straw that broke the camel's back for me is your decision to install Carlos Marmol as the closer in August of a "pennant race." Marmol last threw a strike in June, and shouldn't even be pitching for the big-league club right now. Meanwhile, Angel Guzman has been the Cubs' best reliever all year. If you're going to make a switch at closer this late in the season, it should be a switch to Guzman. Hell, even SeanBearPig deserves the role over Marmol. Dumb, Lou. Dumb.
- SHUT DOWN ZAMBRANO, RAMIREZ, AND LILLY. If you tried to rank the war crimes Dusty Baker committed against the Cubs in his time in Chicago, perhaps the most heinous was his insistence on making everyone else's pennant races "fair" by riding his best players all the way to a 66-96 record. Instead of realizing the season is a lost cause and resting guys like Bob Howry and
StevieScott Eyre, Dusty rode his horses through the dog days of August and September and helped turn Howry from an effective reliever to Rick Aguilera. Don't be stupid and do the same thing, Lou. On the slim (and getting increasingly slimmer) chance the Cubs do make the playoffs, they're not going anywhere. Let Aramis get his shoulder surgery now. Let Lilly get his knee surgery now. Insert a bionic arm into Zambrano. If you intend to bring him back, give Rich Harden more rest. If possible, fix whatever the hell is wrong with Geovany Soto's hand that causes it to fly off the bat every once in a while. I suspect White Castle grease. Whatever the hell these guys need to do to get healthy for the first day of Spring Training next year, DO IT NOW.
- SEE WHAT YOU HAVE FOR NEXT YEAR. Does Jeff Samardzija suck, or can he start? Can Jake Fox or Jeff Baker play second base on an every day basis? Can Andres Blanco hit enough to be the main utility infielder next year? Can Tom Gorzelanny stick in the rotation? Who is the best catcher in the minors, so Koyie Hill doesn't have to play 80 consecutive games next year? Is Jeff Stevens any good? Is there a shortstop in the organization taller than Ryan Theriot? How high will Aaron Miles bounce if you drop him off the top floor of Willis Tower? Ideally, the answers to all of these questions will be discovered prior to the start of the 2010 season. A smart team would be using this garbage time to see what they have going forward. Realize you're not in a goddamn pennant race, you idiots, and do the right thing. Plan ahead.
- CUT THE TWO AARONS…WITH A KNIFE. I like Aaron Heilman personally. I really do. I really wanted him to be successful as a Cub, but it's not happening. Since he's on a one-year deal and rosters are about to expand, it's pointless to cut him. But if they re-sign him after this season, I will lose my shit. As for Aaron Miles, cut him. The contract he was given was so stupid, it glows in the dark. Statistically, he is FAR more useless than the following players: Neifi Perez, Jose Macias, Ronny Cedeno. Cut him. Cut him with a sword dipped in acid and lit on fire. Cut him with the Sword of Omens. Cut him with your razor-sharp wit. Whatever the hell you need to do, CUT HIS WORTHLESS ASS.
- LISTEN TO OFFERS ON ANYONE, JIM. I'm not going to be one of those dipshits who advocates trading valuable guys like Zambrano, especially not valuable guys with good contracts. But if there's one thing that was exposed by the rash of injuries the Cubs suffered through this year, it was that the minor-leagues are as deep as a conversation with Johnny Macchione. As I mentioned before, it's inexcusable that the Cubs' best option when Soto was out was to have Hill start 150 games in a row. If moving a guy makes sense for the organization, do it. Don't listen to the fans. They don't pay your salary, and they're stupid enough to think that you should have hung on to Mark DeRosa and let him walk for nothing instead of getting valuable arms in return for him.
- SELL THE GODDAMN TEAM ALREADY. You have to assume that part of the reason Hendry, whose best moves have been trade deadline deals, didn't make any big moves this year was the team's ownership being in flux. It may be a hopeless prayer, but get the damn sale done before December so they are not handcuffed during the whole offseason, too.
Don't be stupid, Cubs. You're out of it. And that's okay. You've wasted this year by playing like a bunch of chodes, but, honestly, we're amazed you've won the division two years in a row.
If you'd done it a third time, we'd be so busy scanning the horizon for the four horsemen that we wouldn't really enjoy it, anyhow.

In the beginning and in the "Ark" were Moises boards and these boards were the spirit of God written (Holy Spirit). When the jews killed Christ the pact was broken an God's spirit went back to heaven. Later it came down to earth through Jesus Christ, and God wrote it again, but instead of writing it on stone boards, he wrote it on flesh boards, to keep it away from men's whim. Today the Ark of Covenant is placed in the heart (soul) of every human being.
When the person has God's spirit (Holy Spirit), they are united to him. They start feeling and seeing the world through God's eyes. Therefore, your world will be where your heart is.

Mitchell Pearce has hit the wall
Phil Rothfield
–, Sunday, April, 15, 2012, (10:39pm)
MITCHELL Pearce's career in representative football is at the crossroads.
His game has not improved for two years and it looks like he's suffering from not getting quality coaching at club level.
Look at the improvement in other young halves such as Daly Cherry-Evans at Manly and Shaun Johnson at the Warriors over the last 18 months. It's more than a coincidence that team-of-the-century halfback Andrew Johns does regular one-on-one sessions with both players.
That's what young Pearce needs. Someone who can take his game to the next level and teach him to read a game better than what he's doing at the moment.
Even Cooper Cronk had the benefit of Matty Johns as a mentor when he started at Melbourne Storm.
To this day, Cronk credits Johns as much as Craig Bellamy for his development into a Test half-back.
Blues coach Ricky Stuart has shown the young Roosters halfback remarkable loyalty over the last couple of years.
But loyalty can only go so far and you can't keep picking a struggling playmaker against the best backline on the planet.
In Darwin on Saturday night, Pearce was hardly sighted against the Cowboys.
His big pack struggled in the heat and as a result Johnathan Thurston gave him a lesson on how to dominate a footy game.
At the same time, Peter Wallace had been outstanding for the Broncos until he got injured.
He had to step up and show some leadership when Darren Lockyer retired and has thrived on the extra responsibility of steering them around the park.
The young Broncos could have struggled this year without Lockyer's guidance and direction but Wallace
has really stepped up.
He had a taste of Origin football with four games in 2008 and 2009 but is twice the player these days.
The added advantage is that he knows so much about the Broncos players in the Queensland team which will be invaluable when Stuart is trying to plot their downfall.
Pearce will get another chance as City halfback in Mudgee next Sunday but Wallace only needs to prove his fitness to get the Blues jersey for game one.
SOUTH Sydney's Dave Taylor can consider himself fortunate to make the Kangaroos starting line-up announced last night to play the Kiwis considering his team got smashed by the Warriors forwards yesterday and he's spent half the season on Souths' bench.
Realistically, he's only there because Manly's Tony Williams is under suspension.
The only other surprise was Cowboys forward James Tamou on the bench, making a mockery of rugby league's selection rules and leaving genuine born-and-bred Australian props like Keith Galloway wondering about the fairness of the system. Tamou is as close to being an Aussie as Greg Inglis is to being a Queenslander.
Have Your Say
Phil, I usually take your articles with a grain of salt as usually you print antagonistic dribble. However, kudos on being the only journalist so far on speaking about the elephant in the room - the poor standard of the footy being played. I don't think I have seen a worse game in 5 years than roosters v raiders a few weeks ago. You've got first graders kicking out on the full from a kick-off, players losing posession for not playing the ball correctly & the amount of simple dropped ball is simply out of control. And it is definitely part of a trend as the amount of genuinely high standard games has decreased over the last few years. We've got the NRL administrators banging on about the closeness of the comp & the need to expand, but in my opinion, that position is pointless if it means diluting the standard of the final product.

For the first time in your life, you might be right about the Sharks this season. How far do you reckon they can go?
Mon 16 Apr 12 (08:10am)
Great sign yesterday that they can play average but still get the two points. I don't think you've seen the best of the Sharks. I'm very confident about the top four.
Phil Rothfield
Mon 16 Apr 12 (08:12am)
At last someone is writing the truth about a player who has been a media pet for his entire career. Pearce is hopelessly over-rated.
Mon 16 Apr 12 (08:25am)
I actually think he's a tremendous young player but his game is not improving under Brian Smith. I'd love to see how he goes at a club like the Bulldogs under Des Hasler's coaching. Anyway, he's only just turned 23 so there's plenty of time to work on the areas of his game that need to be improved.
Phil Rothfield
Mon 16 Apr 12 (08:30am)
Your rant about Pearce is both right and wrong. Right in a sense in that people are finally seeing that he is not a decent halfback, wrong because of your swipe and Brian Smith
Pearce has always been a selfice type of halfback. He can run at the line, he can pass, but he cant run at the line AND pass. When he is playing, you might as well have big second rowers at 5/8, centre and wing, they never get decent ball. The only time the Rosters get good ball in the backs is when Anasta goes to first receiver
When he was pick for SOO, you were on the bandwagon, not for Pearce's attack, but because he was such a good defender....thats not what we need in a halfback
Mon 16 Apr 12 (08:53am)
I guarantee you he'd be a better player under Bellamy, Bennett or Hasler.

The fact that NSW hasn't resolved its line-up and that QLD can pick itself suggests to me that NSW officials just don't get it and will unfortunately go down this series as well. QLD just seem to play well as a team while the Blues seem to pick a team of individuals who can do magical things on their own, but cannot gel as a coordinated unit. I am happy to be proven wrong.

congrats on the sharks 5th straight win.My mob did their best, without Hayne we wouldn't have got close.
The club needs to extend his contract before the roosters get their hands on him.
My frustration with parra is when they throw the ball around they look threatening and score points but then go off the game plan and back in their shells with one up rubbish.
I want to commend Todd Carney's post match comments on Fox Sports.
The mark of a true sportsman.
How Ricky wouldn't pick him in SOO for NSW at 5/8 is beyond me.
Maybe Phil Gould's getting in his ear.
It wouldn't look good for the Roosters.
Panthers for the spoon.They are woeful

He said alot of the negative press against the eels was unwarranted that they were still competitive and you should never rest on your laurels.It's a tough comp.
That's why I love Rugby League and people like Todd Carney.
Mon 16 Apr 12 (01:51pm)
Mate - you are a muppet! Your pathetic Eels are way more active in purchasing players than the Roosters. We have a small number of players who have played at other teams - Noyce has done a good job with his youth policy. How's all your purchases going - duds!!!!
I was at the game and missed his Fox Sports interview but he certainly played well.
Phil Rothfield
Mon 16 Apr 12 (09:22am)
Can you please explain to me why we continually chop and change our side for NSW every year. Last year Ricky said that we needed to keep the same side and get it to gel. First year out we did great the side looked good and I honestly thought that if we kept alot of those players including the halves that we would have a better chance. We are back to square one again, new combination and we are looking down the barrel of 7.
Mon 16 Apr 12 (09:14am)
That's an easy one to answer - you can only be loyal when you find a winning combination.
Phil Rothfield
Mon 16 Apr 12 (09:23am)
About time, NSW has carried Pearce for years without a series win. For me it should be Wallace (7) and Mullen (6).
Mon 16 Apr 12 (09:18am)
Carney is going better than Mullen
Phil Rothfield
Mon 16 Apr 12 (09:20am)
that backrower you've got Jayson Bukuya is a fair player.
He was a handful for our forwards in defense.
Don't do to him what we did to Gal.
Lock him up champ
Mon 16 Apr 12 (09:28am)
I don't think the Sharks will be letting him go anywhere. He's awesome on that right side.
Phil Rothfield
Mon 16 Apr 12 (09:38am)
Isn't next week looking great. A test very few people are interested in, a waste of a game on Sunday and no game on Saturday. It will be the most boring wekend ever. Aren't you glad you pushed for a rep only weekend? A great legup up for the AFL. Just scrap these 2 games.
Mon 16 Apr 12 (09:30am)
Go and get a life you gibberer. This is a beautiful city. Go to the Zoo. Get down to Darling Harbour. Go climb the Harbour bridge. Take a ferry ride to Manly.Get the in-laws around for the BBQ you can't have while the footy is on. I'll tell you what I'm pleased about. No club will be disadvantaged by supplying rep players while having to play club footy. It's much fairer dioing it this way.
Phil Rothfield
Mon 16 Apr 12 (09:41am)
Finally someone from the telegraph saying it how it is. For some reason Pearce is the golden child, everyone can see the halves should be Wallace at 7 and Carney at 6.
Hayne may have to play from the wing for the good of the team. Dugan / Stuart at 1 with Hayne and Uate on the wings is much better than Morris on one wing, he has let the Blues down to many times with schoolboy errors.
Mon 16 Apr 12 (09:42am)
Thanks for your comments but I'd have Hayne at fullback.
Phil Rothfield
Mon 16 Apr 12 (09:49am)
Buzz you egg this is just another attack of Brian Smith and the Roosters disguised as a plea for help for Pearce. What did they do to you. You only ever bag the Roosters and anyone associated with the club. Get real man.
Mon 16 Apr 12 (09:46am)
Mon 16 Apr 12 (09:55am)
is this the great Phil Rothfield who had Kearney second best coach in the comp? Forgive us if we all find your ratings on coaches laughable
Is this the Brian Smith who punted the great Danny Buderus from the Newcastle Knights because he thought he was washed up?
Phil Rothfield
Mon 16 Apr 12 (09:48am)
Hi Buzz
I disagree with your thoughts on City/Country games. I love nothing more than watching possible Blues players smash the life out of one another. With NSW's huge talent pool to choose from, as a Qlder, it's the only thing we have for levelling up the playing field (with maybe the odd one or two poached players.. lol).
So please, keep smashing away!! 7 zip here we come!
Mon 16 Apr 12 (09:53am)
Phil Rothfield
Mon 16 Apr 12 (10:33am)
Can't believe you are paid to write this rubbish Buzz. Everyone knows you have a long standing grudge with Brian Smith. No need to drag Mitchell into it! Peter Wallace is playing with a super star team. This is proven by how much they missed him on Friday night! He had ihis chance at Origin and failed. Pearce has also had his chance and is yet to fail so no doubt he should keep his spot. And at the end of the day it's Sticky's decision so quit the gibber!
Mon 16 Apr 12 (09:59am)
Can you please tell me what Brian Smith has ever won in rugby league and then compare his track record to Sheens and Bennett who have been around the the same length of time.
Phil Rothfield
Mon 16 Apr 12 (10:08am)
Morning Buzz!
Not a sharkies fan but it's great to see them doing well! I reckon Hayne had a great game yesterday, why is he not being considered for fullback for SOO? With both Dugan & Stewart carrying injuries, Hayne should be next in line. I reckon the blues should include Hayne at 1, Carney at 6 & Wallace at 7. Hayne MUST be somewhere in the team but. Glad to see my Tigers get back in the winning circle as well, 2012 is far from over for us!
Mon 16 Apr 12 (10:04am)
I'm hoping by the time they pick the team, Ricky Stuart will realise his best position is fullback. Even Hayne says he is out of his comfort zone at five-eighth. You need a specialist No 6 against Thurston.
Phil Rothfield
Mon 16 Apr 12 (10:06am)
Another week and another rant targeting the roosters and Brian Smith. At least you had the guts to show up this time after your attempted blog about your new hero Todd Carney. You are familiar with Todd aren't you, he is the player whom you believe should be in jail and whom you lead an 18 month crusade against in the hope of him getting fired.
Mon 16 Apr 12 (10:07am)
The Roosters made the decision to cut Todd, not me. Pull your head in. It's coming on winter and they're looking for wood!
Phil Rothfield
Mon 16 Apr 12 (10:09am)
Phil, people might take your views more seriously if it wasn;t one another thinly veiled attack on the Roosters after another. Get over it son, jealousy is a terrible curse.
What would you know about what it takes to be a qulaity half back anyway?
Mon 16 Apr 12 (10:09am)
Thank you for supporting my blog and my career, Every hit counts.

Mon 16 Apr 12 (10:32am)
Buzz, Is Damien Irvine the biggest enigma in the NRL? Moonlighting as a hotel manager, doing two jobs at the sharks? What's his story?
He looks to have really turned the joint around. Cheers Andy
Mon 16 Apr 12 (10:12am)
Hi mate, I'll say this. I don't know if Cronulla would still have a club if it wasn't for Damien's leadership? Unlike the Michael Searles of rugby league, he slashed spending to keep the St George Bank happy and has kept us afloat. I wouldn't care if he was twisting stop-go signs, as long as he's doing the right thing by the Sharks.

Mon 16 Apr 12 (10:31am)
how about the Storm and Dogs game..
one of the best games this season, and only time Melbourne were outplayed.
I think the dogs, have gained alot of respect from that game.
What did you think of the game
Mon 16 Apr 12 (10:37am)
Mon 16 Apr 12 (11:28am)
Ha ha, of course Pritchard passed the ball. Show me a game where Prichard played tough??
He excels against weak opposition, goes hiding when the going gets tough...one of the biggest cats in the comp
The Dogs played strong but I was a bit diappointed in Frank Pritchard. He was passing instead of running. But they look like a top eight club.

Lombardi, Dupuis Ready To Face Canadiens
Tuesday, 10.4.2011 / 5:12 PM ET / Mike Ulmer's Blog
By Mike Ulmer - Mapleleafs.com commentator
You can't really go home again.
You can, if you are lucky, kick the hell out of your hometown team.
That's what two Montrealers, Matt Lombardi and Philippe Dupuis are hoping to accomplish when the Leafs host the Montreal Canadiens in the opener for both teams Thursday at Air Canada Centre.
Lombardi pinned a poster of the 1993 Canadiens on his bedroom wall as a 12-year-old.
"That was the team with Jacques Demers coaching," Lombardi remembered. "I didn't see it. We were at some school camp and we couldn't watch the game. The teachers would tell us what the score was. I was so choked about that."
The Canadiens haven't been to a final since but with the Leafs looking to make the playoffs after a six-year hiatus, Lombardi isn't gloating about his new team.
Still, the move to Toronto has helped in one significant way.
"My Dad said he was a Canadiens fan but on the inside, he was a closet Leafs fan. Now he's gone public," Lombardi said. "We used to go to the Forum every once in a while. We saw a Canada Cup game there. It was a great experience."
A former Calgary Flame, Lombardi experienced the Flames rivalry against the Edmonton Oilers but based on his knowledge of the league, he expects Habs-Leafs games to be something different altogether.
"This is going to be a first for me. It's going to be awesome. Calgary and Edmonton is cool but I don't think it's in the same league. There isn't the history over all those decades. I'm so proud to be a part of that."
Dupuis remembers as an eight-year-old reaching out and touching the Cup when the Habs held their last Stanley Cup parade.
"I probably shouldn't have touched it," he said, nodding to the longheld superstition that players who have not won the Cup are not allowed to touch the trophy.
It was put to Dupuis that while hockey is religion in Toronto, it is something far more serious in Montreal.
"I see it differently," he said. "To me they love their hockey, they want to win as much as Toronto.
Those are the two biggest franchises. I feel like everyone in the world knows about the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Montreal Canadiens. I think that's pretty sick."

15 – 21 August, 2013: Gracia is one of the most popular districts of Barcelona.
Originally, it was populated by countrymen who came to the city attracted by the demand of the Catalan textile industry, giving rise to the labor class in town. In the late nineteenth century the district of Gracia is quickly transformed into a village of workers, artisans and small traders thus defining their urban sense. It was precisely the numerous labor entities and recreational such as Ateneos or Dance Societies that prompted this scope less religious and giving the characteristic hue, especially because mostly the public who frequent the streets are young and open minded. Every year in August, the district of Gracia celebrates one of the biggest and most popular neighborhood festival attracting, La Festa Major de Gracia, which propose over a week exhibitions, children's activities, workshops, sports activities, parades, performances by various artists, dance, theater and more. In the squares called Plaza del Sol or Plaza Rius i Taulet you can attend jazz concerts, rock and even classical music. For foodies there will be a section devoted to gastronomy. You can not not miss the famous Correfocs, National Diada Day or Gegants Castellers, all with great atmosphere!
WHERE: Gracia district. Gran de Gracia, 167.
If you feel like walking around the neighborhood and have more information about the program click here please: Festa Major de Gracia

Timeline & Flowchart of a Personal Injury Lawsuit
In this document, we'll address some of the more common things you can expect when filing a lawsuit.

California Motorcycle Summer Safety Information & Resources
Summer is the best season for motorcycle riders. The unusually consistent sunny weather enables longer rides with better conditions throughout California. Of course, more motorcycles on the road increases the likelihood of a motorcycle accident, but there are a few simple steps that riders can take to improve motorcycle safety by avoiding unnecessary risks. These actions involve wearing all appropriate safety equipment, attending summer motorcycle events that stress safe rides, and encouraging teens to stay safe on their motorcycles. We've developed this motorcycle safety resource to address each of these issues for the summer and fall months.
California Teen Driver Summer Safety Statistics & Resources
Teen drivers throughout the country are faced with countless dangers on city streets and highways. Teens are the demographic most likely to cause car a accident, technology poses the temptation for distracted driving, and scientific studies have even shown that the teen brain may not have developed the motor skills and emotional maturity to drive safely. As California teens hit the road more during the summer holiday, they should take precautions to stay safe and aware at all times. And since California teens receive their restricted license at 16 and their unrestricted license at 18, they can take the summer to boost their knowledge of state driver laws and practice safe driving techniques.
Senior Driver Safety Checklist & Self Assessment
There are many factors senior drivers should consider before getting behind the wheel. The topic areas below are subject to each individual and may not apply to everyone. But for most people, age comes with an inevitable decline in eyesight and motor skills. With these concerns in mind, we've developed this safety checklist to be referenced by senior drivers prior to operating a motor vehicle. If any of these items portray your current health or situation, then speak with a family member or personal physician to learn more about safety options.
Traffic Deaths by Vehicle Type in California and Nationwide
We're reminded every day that city streets and highways are dangerous for all drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. Hearing constant stories about traffic deaths involving distracted driving or drunk driving makes it difficult for any parent to trust that the roads will be safe for teen drivers. Fortunately, the number of traffic deaths has been falling in recent years. For example, the last year with reliable information, 2009, the Fatality Analysis Reporting System reported 33,800 deaths. This may sound like a lot, but it was the best year on record since 1950, and nearly 18 percent lower than 2007. Take a look at our interactive graph of those 2009 figures, broken up by vehicle type.
State-By-State Drunk Driving Laws and Driving Fatality Statistics
While there is currently no federal law against drunk driving, it is illegal in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. But each state varies in its enforcement of DUI laws. Some states, for example, automatically suspend the driver's license after he or she is first convicted for driving under the influence while some require no suspension at all. In addition, some states require ignition interlock devices to prevent drunk driving after the first DUI offense while others never require the breathalyzers. For more state-by-state information on DUI laws and statistics, check out our interactive map.
Teen Brain Development and Impact on Safe Driving
Although the brain is 80 percent developed at adolescence, new research indicates that brain signals essential for motor skills and emotional maturity are the last to extend to the brain's frontal lobe, which is responsible for many of the skills essential for driving. This research suggests that emotional immaturity, not inexperience, is the primary reason that teenage drivers are responsible for far more car accidents than any other age demographic. Click through for our animated brain development infographic.
Seniority Behind the Wheel: Managing Safety Risks for Older Drivers
Teenagers are notoriously the most dangerous demographic of drivers. But there are dozens of factors that can influence car accidents that have nothing to do with inexperience and immaturity. In fact, older drivers can become a hazard as their eyesight, motor skills, and spatial recognition begins to fade, and a set of safety advocates are beginning to suggest laws to ensure that drivers stay safe on the road as they grow older. This guide lists some of the dangers associated with driving for older adults, and some possible alternatives to help drivers maintain their freedom once they put away the keys.
State-by-State: Driving Laws Across the Nation
The details of your state's driving laws might not be a major influence on the events of your daily life, but if you or your teenager is getting a license, you want to make calls or text while behind the wheel, or your elderly parents are losing their motor skills, knowledge of the relevant regulations becomes essential. Looking at driver laws nationwide, the trend is moving toward stricter graduated license laws for teen drivers, and heightened regulations against distracted driving. Scroll over this interactive map to see the details of your state's driving laws and how they compare to others.
The Techie's Guide to Preventing a Car Accident
Slowly but surely, technology has become an unavoidable part of our day. But fidgeting with cell phones and other technological devices while driving is enormously dangerous, contributing to more than 500,000 injuries and 6,000 deaths last year alone, according to the .National Highway Traffic Administration. With that in mind, we have compiled a list of devices that will help avoid the temptation to text, email, or dial friends while on the road. These devices can help make yourself and your teenager tech gurus, but more importantly, a safer drivers.
Checklist: What to Do in a Car Accident
Getting into a car accident is scary, confusing, and complicated. It's even scarier to think about your teenager getting into a car accident. But it's important that if you or your teenager is in that situation, everyone knows what to do. So while we hope you never have to use this form, we encourage you to download our Car Accident Preparedness PDF, and keep it in your glovebox, along with your insurance and vehicle registration info. Key pieces of the PDF include emergency supplies, the parties involved, witnesses, documenting the scene, and a step-by-step checklist.
Free Legal Aid Resources in the Bay Area
Every partner at GJEL (that's Andy, Ralph, Luke, Jim, and Kristin) started his or her career at a Legal Aid clinic. The spirit of "fighting for the little guy" remains with us today in earnest.We understand that not everyone needs a personal injury attorney, and although we offer free consultations and take cases on a contingency basis only--meaning we don't get paid until we win or settle a case--many times people need attorneys in different fields who do charge by the hour. Legal Aid clinics can be great resources in these situations.
Map of Bay Area Bicycle Paths and Trails
On the GJEL news center and blog, we have been urging bicycle commuters to take extra caution to be safe while commuting to work. This involves wearing appropriate safety equipment, obeying all traffic signs, and sharing the road with other vehicles. But safety is also the most important consideration when it comes to recreational bicycling. In these cases, it can be safest to bike on streets that make bicycle safety a priority. The Google Map below shows many if the major bicycle trails and paths throughout the Bay Area. Click on each path for more information, and if we have missed any must-bike paths, please email benb[at]gjel[dot]com and we will add it to the list.
Where to File Insurance Complaints: All 50 States
Every day, GJEL attorneys assist clients and prospective clients with their insurance claims regarding car accidents and other personal injury cases. In over 30 years of practicing personal injury law, we've seen just about every "trick in the book" from insurance companies, including asking people unfair or manipulative questions during a recorded conversation, requesting medical records that infringe on people's privacy, and biased examinations by company doctors.If you think your insurance company--or the insurance company of the person who injured you--may be using deceptive, fraudulent, or manipulative tactics against you or a loved one, we encourage you to file a complaint with the Insurance Department of your home state.

Last week was very exciting here in Ireland as we celebrated the screen legend Maureen O'Hara's 90th birthday. Family and friends gathered at her beautiful home in Glengariff on the shores of Bantry bay to celebrate with her in true Hollywood style. Her late husband (number 3) the dashing pilot Captain Charlie Blair having chosen the location so that he could land his flying boat at the bottom of the garden, how cool was that?
It typified the glamourous movie star lifestyle and the luxury of international air travel the preserve of a very chosen few, at the time, which is celebrated in a marvellous exhibition, just a stones throw from Shannon airport, so make it the first place you see when you come to Ireland.
Foynes Flying Boat Museum captures that romantic era of trans-Atlantic passenger flights, perfectly. Pam Am's luxury flying boat the 'Yankee Clipper' first landed at Foynes in 1939, the 2000 mile journey had taken 25 hours which was incredible compared to the 8-9 days it was taking by ocean liner. The excitement, craziness and prestige is captured in b&w newsreel footage in the museums 1940s styled cinema.
Air travel then was expensive, luxurious and glamorous, the preserve of politicians, business men and movie stars, such as our very own birthday girl. Who as I say was married to the pilot who flew the last scheduled flying boat out of Foynes to New York in 1945, returning the next day to land the first landplane, a DC-4 in Rineanna, now Shannon International Airport just across the estuary.
The history of Foynes, the centre of world aviation at the time is recreated meticulously, down to the red fire buckets, in the original terminal building complete with radio and weather room. You can even try your hand at flying a flying boat for yourself in the simulators, somehow doing it on water seems safer? If you need to settle your nerves afterwards you can try an Irish Coffee invented one night in 1942 'to warm' up damp passengers.
But the real jewel in the crown is the reproduction full size Yankee Clipper flying boat cleverly displayed outside as if it had just landed on the water. You can go aboard and check out the seating arrangements, cockpit and private facilities like the honeymoon suite at the back of the aircraft, now there's a thing you would never find on Ryanair....
For the full story and details of 10 Other Hidden Gems in the area you might like? including a forgotten garden, thatched cottage village and a stone circle capable of holding 4000 people check out Foynes Flying Boat Museum
Talk to you next week, Susan Byron author of Irelands Hidden Gems.

Biggest Mistakes When Racing In Heat
- By Jené Shaw
- Published Jun 1, 2012
- Updated Oct 31, 2014 at 4:38 PM UTC
'Tis the season for rising temps at races. Avoid these common mistakes when racing in the heat.
Mistake #1: Neglecting sodium leading up to the race.
During your taper, you'll reduce your food intake, which consequently decreases your sodium intake. You need to replace this loss through extra electrolytes in fluid. Nutrition and performance coach Krista Austin, Ph.D, suggests maintaining sodium stores in two ways in the lead up: 1) Consume electrolyte beverages throughout the day, with drinks that provide at least 200mg of sodium per 8oz and/or 2) Load up by consuming about 3,500–4,000 mg of sodium 18–24 hours before competition. The additional sodium, which should be above your normal intake, can be spread out between 2–4 meals or snacks. If you drink water, do so only at meals.

The Color Purple
by Alice Walker
Character Role Analysis
Pa, Mr.__, and Men in General
Male characters continually prevent Celie from having a good life. First, Pa rapes her and takes her children away, then Mr.__ treats her like a maid or an animal. And Pa and Mr.__ are not the only terrible men in the story. Shug Avery even sings a song called "A Good Man is Hard to Find" at one point. Overall, however, this isn't an anti-male novel. Pa remains a complete jerk throughout the entire book, but Mr.__ proves that men can grow and change. In then end, Mr.__ realizes how terribly he treated Celie and apologizes. Also, Samuel was always a pretty good guy.

I have to improve and modify the search experience of the site I work for. Its one of the key features of our site.
Would anyone be able to point me to resources that could provide insight or provide any feedback on designing a good search flow? Similar to browsing and purchasing an item on Amazon or eBay...
Thank you for your help.
I thought I'd call upon the experience of the wide audience for this one.
I'm looking for views and examples of what people consider good solid retail
experiences for sites that sell a range of products.
I'm creating a very large e-commerce site that's expected to
eventually have tens of thousands, perhaps more, entries. It is for
an industry that is heavily categorized, but every supplier has
totally different categories, so they effectively become meaningless.
So we're going to put it all together without categories, or at least
without a category tree model. It's search engine only, baby. All
those former categories are now keywords, effectively allowing one
item to be in dozens of categories.
I'm worried about how sites like Google will index ours. Even if
Keyword search is lousy when you're exploring an entire category.
Faceted navigation is pretty nice -- when it exists for the data
you're interested in. Finding items when you need to express a few
different requirements at the same time is... well, a disaster. We
need better tools for browsing and comparing.
Can anyone point to examples of sites or applications that you feel
do a good job at supporting this type of behavior? Got any thoughts
on what would characterize a search/browse engine of this sort?
Hello all,
I have a question about how to allow to display search results within
a browse categories page.
For example, an application offers both Search and Browse
capabilities. Both designed with pretty standard UI (eg. google search
and dmoz.org browse)
The Browse lists all parent categories and their children.Users can
drill down thru the category trees to view results.
Let's say a user clicks through to a secondary level category and
decides to search within that category.
At this point, would we show these results as being under Search or
under Browse?
Thank you,

Israel's defense minister has announced an 'all-out war' against the Gaza Strip, blaming Hamas for the ongoing massacre in the region.
"This operation will be extended and deepened as we find necessary. Our goal is to strike Hamas and stop the attacks on Israel," Ehud Barak said at a special meeting held at the Knesset (the Israeli parliament) on Monday, Jerusalem Post reported.
"Hamas controls Gaza and is responsible for everything happening there and for all attacks carried out from within the strip. The goals of this operation are to stop Hamas from attacking our citizens and soldiers," Barak added.
The remarks were made Israeli bombardment of the costal strip continued for a third consecutive day. The offensive which began early Saturday has left over 312 people dead and at least 1,500 others wounded, Palestinian medical sources said.
"This is an all-out war against Hamas and its branches... The security establishment has been preparing for such an operation for many months," Barak said.
The Israeli defense minister claimed that the military has been striking Hamas targets but 'not the civilians'.
This is while the military warplanes and helicopters had struck schools, a prison, a television station as well as a mosque in addition to more than 60 Hamas targets since Saturday.
Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni however, said the high number of civilian casualties is a quite normal outcome of war.
Meanwhile the opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu accused the government for acting 'so late', saying "For firing at citizens, hiding behind citizens, causing suffering to our citizens to their own citizens, we will strike Hamas."
The former prime minister also urged the defense minister to put all his efforts into toppling the Hamas government in Gaza.
"Our goal should be double...Stopping the attacks can be done within a short period of time, while eliminating the threat of rocket attacks from Gaza will entail toppling the Hamas rule over the Strip," the former prime minister said.
"No country in the world would do otherwise, and no nation would restrain itself for so long, for too long," He claimed.
Hamas responded the Israeli bombardment of the territory by firing mortar shells and rockets into Israel. So far the rocket attacks have only killed two and wounded 14 others in the coastal town of Ashkelon, and the southern town of Netivot.

Mei, LL; Xue, Y; de Leeuw, G; von Hoyningen-Huene, W; Kokhanovsky, AA; Istomina, L; Guang, J; Burrows, JP (2013). Aerosol optical depth retrieval in the Arctic region using MODIS data over snow. REMOTE SENSING OF ENVIRONMENT, 128, 234-245.
AbstractThe Arctic is vulnerable to the long-term transport of aerosols because they affect the surface albedo when particles are deposited on snow and ice. However, aerosol observations for this area are sparse and hence there is considerable uncertainty in the knowledge on the properties of the Arctic aerosol. Atmospheric remote sensing using satellite-based instruments offers an opportunity to obtain information on aerosol properties, in particular the aerosol optical depth (AOD) on an extended spatial scale as determined by the instrument's swath width. However, ADD retrieval over a bright surface is a difficult task because it is difficult to separate and explicitly describe the contribution of the surface and that due to back-scattering by aerosols to the radiance observed by a satellite at the top of the atmosphere (TOA), especially at large Solar Zenith Angles (SZA). In this paper, an approach to achieve this is presented based on a synergetic approach using data from both Moderate Resolution Imaging.Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instruments flying on the TERRA and AQUA satellites. The approached also uses prior knowledge for aerosol properties retrieval over snow as well as a Snow Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) model. The detailed analysis of the model results demonstrates that the Aerosol Properties Retrieval over Snow (APRS) algorithm is suitable for Arctic region Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) retrieval. The study periods include April 2010 and April 2011, when the Arctic haze mostly occurs. Six AERONET stations at high latitude (Andenes, Barrow, Ittoqqortoormiit, OPAL, Thule, and PEARL) were used for comparison. The correlation coefficient between retrieved AODs and AERONET AODs was 0.8 and the relative error is between 10% and 20%, demonstrating the potential of the APRS method to retrieve ADD over the Arctic, with highly reflective snow/ice surfaces and large solar zenith angles.

2016-2017 Season
The Premier Lecture
Bob Woodward
Pulitzer Prize-Winning Writer and Investigative Reporter
"The Age of the American Presidency"
September 28, 2016 | 7:30 pm | Wright Auditorium
Buy Tickets
Called "the most celebrated journalist of our age" by The Wall Street Journal, Bob Woodward has established himself as a journalistic icon who gained international attention when he and Carl Bernstein broke the disturbing news of the Watergate scandal during the Nixon administration. Their book about the scandal, "All the Presidents Men" won a Pulitzer Prize and was featured on TIME magazine's list of the all-time 100 best non-fiction books as "perhaps the most influential piece of journalism in history."
Watergate's theme of secret government is a common thread throughout Woodward's career that spawned 18 national bestselling books—12 of them #1—more than any other contemporary nonfiction author. In the process, Woodward became the ultimate inside man. No one in political investigative journalism has the clout, respect and reputation of Woodward. He has a way of getting insiders to open up in ways that reveal an intimate, yet sweeping portrayal of Washington and issues ranging from the budget wrangling and political infighting to the price of politics, presidential leadership and homeland security efforts.
A sought after speaker, Woodward pulls the curtain back on Washington and its leaders, captivating audiences with fascinating stories featuring up-to-the-minute information expertly blended with historical reference for a truly unforgettable glimpse into American politics, the media and the biggest stories of the day.
Currently Associate Editor for The Washington Post, Woodward has won nearly every American journalism award and his work with Bernstein on the Watergate scandal earned the Post the 1973 Pulitzer Prize. Woodward was also the main reporter for the Post's articles on the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks that won the National Affairs Pulitzer Prize.
The Religion and Culture Lecture

Eboo Patel is a member of President Barack Obama's inaugural Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships. He is an American Ismaili of Gujarati Indian heritage and founder and president of Interfaith Youth Core, a Chicago-based international nonprofit that aims to promote interfaith cooperation.
Patel's core belief is that religion is a bridge of cooperation rather than a barrier of division. He's inspired to build this bridge by his faith as a Muslim, his Indian heritage and his American citizenship. He has spoken about this vision at places like the TED conference, Clinton Global Initiative and the Nobel Peace Prize Forum, as well as college and university campuses across the country. He has written two books about interfaith cooperation, "Acts of Faith" and "Sacred Ground."
The Brewster History Lecture
Keith Wailoo
Townsend Martin Professor of History and Public Affairs at Princeton University
"Pain: A Political History"
January 31, 2017 | 7:00 pm | Wright Auditorium

Keith Andrew Wailoo is Townsend Martin Professor of History and Public Affairs at Princeton University where he teaches in the Department of History and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. He is the former Vice Dean of the Woodrow Wilson School.
He is an award-winning author on drugs and drug policy; race, science
and health; history of medicine; and health policy and medical affairs
in the U.S.
Wailoo currently is working on two book-length projects, both intersecting with history and public policy: a study of the menthol cigarette and a history of addiction.
Before joining the Princeton faculty, Wailoo taught at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the Departments of History, and Social Medicine, and at Rutgers University in History and in the Institute for Health, Health Care Policy and Aging Research.

The Nile Project
"Citizen Diplomacy & Transboundary Water Conflicts"
April 6, 2017 | 7:00 pm | Wright Auditorium
Buy Tickets
From their debut concert, captured live on the 2013 release ASWAN, it was clear that the Nile Project was something completely new. NPR named the recording one of five "must hear international albums." Fast forward a couple of years—through 2 Africa tours and a 4-month US tour with stops at 25 universities, the Lincoln Center and the United Nations—and almost every major media outlet in the US agrees, the Nile Project is much more than just a band. According to the New York Times, The Nile Project is "a committed, euphoric international coalition."
One of the tightest, cross-cultural collaborations in history, the Nile Project Collective brings together artists from the 11 Nile basin countries, representing more than 400 million people, to make music that combines the rich diversity of the oldest places on Earth. Resonant harps and lyres from up and down the river—from its sources beyond Lake Victoria to its delta in Egypt—have learned new musical modes, while buzzing timbres and ingenious polyrhythms support vocals in 10 languages. Instruments that parted ways millennia before are reunited and pushed to new places. Love songs have crossed geographic and linguistic barriers to forge close friendships.
Using music to spark cultural curiosity, the Nile Project engages musicians and audiences, challenging them to connect to the world's longest river and explore new approaches to its social, cultural and environmental problems. The Collective's collaborative model is a blueprint for a new way Nile Citizens can organize themselves to cooperate to make the Nile more sustainable. In an evolving series of interlocking programs, the project aims to inspire, educate and empower young people worldwide to become Nile Citizens.

Foligno: Survivorship Means Hope In This Fight
Tuesday, 10.18.2011 / 4:34 PM ET
(On the occasion of Hockey Fights Cancer Awareness Night, Senators forward Nick Foligno shares his thoughts about the disease that took his mother, Janis, at age 47 in July 2009. Foligno and his wife, Janelle, toured Ottawa's new Cancer Survivorship Centre on the weekend and work on behalf of the Janis Foligno Foundation, which has been established in their hometown of Sudbury, Ont.).
Ever since being affected by cancer with my mom and, being in the position that I'm in, I try to help out as best I can in the fight against this disease. The Cancer Survivorship Centre is really an amazing place. The people that are running it are the real heroes and it's just nice to go over there and recognize them and see what they're doing.
|Senators forward Nick Foligno and his wife, Janelle, toured Ottawa's new Cancer Survivorship Centre on the weekend (Ottawa Senators Hockey Club).
My wife, Janelle, and I are going to be keeping an eye on it and seeing how it's going. If they need me for anything, I'd be happy to help out, but I think they have it pretty well set there. They have a good staff in place and the people running it are amazing. Janelle and I couldn't have been happier to go there and see it first hand.
Cancer is a disease that gives you a feeling of helplessness and you don't really know how to go about dealing with it. It's such a scary thing for so many people that they feel doomed right away. But if you can start putting words out there like 'survivorship' and 'fighting it' instead of 'comfort,' that brings a positive attitude and people start to think it's something they can beat. That's the most important thing. We need to get away from making people comfortable and trying to cope with it and start helping people beat it. That's what I hope this survivorship centre is going to do.
We've started the Janis Foligno Foundation back in Sudbury and it's slowly getting going. The biggest thing we wanted was to keep it home grown, so to speak, and help people in Sudbury. We have such a great cancer centre there and, hopefully, over a few years, we can start growing it into Ottawa or wherever we may be. But right now, we're just really focusing on trying to help as many people as we can in Sudbury. So far, it's been really good and, hopefully, we can continue that for a long time.
Hockey Fights Cancer is night that has special meaning to me. I'm sure I'm not the only one affected by cancer within our team or our entire organization. It's unfortunate when everyone has a story, but when you bring it out in this kind of an atmosphere, everyone can be positive and support one another for a night. I think it's a really great thing the NHL has done and this team has done to rally around it. It's only going to be a positive thing for the community and the people involved.
