Bangladesh will not be able to achieve some of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), including ensuring 100 percent employment and zero dropouts in primary school, within the 2015 target date, says a progress report.
The other targets that Bangladesh are unlikely to meet are to ensure 100 percent adult literacy, 20 percent of lands covered by forest, 50 percent share of women in wage employment and improved sanitation facilities for all by 2015.
The report titled, 'Millennium Development Goals: Bangladesh Progress Report 2013', prepared by the General Economic Division (GED) of the Planning Commission was launched on Sunday at a function held at the National Economic Council (NEC) auditorium in the city's Agargaon area.
"The targets will not be fulfilled with only less than 500 days (2015) left despite having remarkable progress in achieving many other targets," the progress report said.
Bangladesh will try to incorporate the unachievable targets in the Post-2015 Development Agenda, it said.
Planning Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal addressed the function as the chief guest while Finance Minister AMA Muhith, Prime Minister's Economic Adviser Dr Mashiur Rahman and State Minister for Planning and Finance MA Mannan spoke as guests of honor.
GED member Prof Dr Shamsul Alam chaired the function and presented the report.
According to the report, the poverty rate came down to 26.2 percent in 2013 from 56.7 percent in the base year of 1990-1991, but the target set in the MDGs is to gain 29 percent by 2015. The rate of hungry people came down to 16.8 percent in 2012 from 34.6 percent in 1990.
The grim picture of the employment was reflected in the report that said currently the success rate is 59.3 percent against the target of gaining 100 percent by 2015.
According to the report, the high unemployment rate is noticed among the young generation (15-24 years).
The net enrolment ratio in primary education increased to 97.3 percent in 2013 from 60.5 percent in 1990-1991.
Some 20 percent of primary students drop out in the country as 80.5 percent of pupils starting grade-1 reach grade-5 (class-V).
The adult literacy rate of 15+ years old population went up to 58.8 percent in 2011 from 37.2 percent in the base year. But the target is 100 percent.
The share of women in wage employment was 19.87 percent in 2010 against target of 50 percent.
The rate of women MPs in Parliament is 20 percent now, but the target is 33 percent.
Bangladesh is on the right track to achieve the targets relating to child mortality rate and maternal health, combating HIV/AIDs, malaria and other diseases and improving drinking water sources.
The rate of under-five child mortality was 44/1000 in 2011, while that of the infant (0-1 year) morality 35/1000. But the targets are 48 percent and 31 percent respectively.
Maternal mortality ratio was 194/1000 live births in 2010, but the target is 143/1000 births.
People using improved sanitation facilities were 55.9 percent in 2013 against the target of 100 percent.
The land area covered by forest was raised to 13.2 percent against the target of 20 percent by 2015.
Speaking on the occasion, Finance Minister AMA Muhith said Bangladesh will come out of the list of LDCs within the next three to four years.
Terming poverty a 'curse', he said, "I strongly believe that hunger will be removed from Bangladesh by 2030."
Planning Minister Mustafa Kamal said Bangladesh did better in many areas of the MDGs, adding that now 24.5 percent of people live under the poverty line in the country.
He demanded that the developed nations impose high taxes on companies that emit carbon dioxide (CO2), responsible for climate change.
BD may miss some MDG targets by 2015

"My dad just ... he's collapsed," says Hasselhoff's daughter Hayley, 17, who is heard crying. "He's standing up but he keeps falling back down ... But then he got back up and he's fine. It's kind of scaring me."
Hasselhoff, 57, was hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center that weekend and was released.
Click here to listen to the call:
The America's Got Talent host, who's struggled with alcoholism, has been hospitalized at least four times in the last two years. A rep and lawyer for the actor declined to explain the reason for Hasselhoff's latest trip to the hospital.
"He's fine," said attorney Mel Goldsman shortly after the incident. "If he were close to death, he wouldn't be home right now recording songs with his daughters." Goldsman added that a report claiming the actor was held on psychiatric hold that weekend was false.

ACC Week 11 Wrap Up
#10 Virginia Tech (9-1, 5-1) traveled to Bobby Dodd Stadium and stung host Georgia Tech (7-3, 4-3), 37-26, Thursday night. The game turned on a personal foul penalty in the third quarter when it appeared the Jackets stopped the Hokies deep but DE Jeremiah Attaochu got whistled for throwing a punch, which awarded the visitors and automatic first down. The Hokes went on to score and took the lead 27-26 after a failed two-point conversion. GT couldn't stop VT's quarterback, Logan Thomas (6'6", 254 lbs.) ever as he accounted for 5 TD's. RB David Wilson rushed for a career-high 175 yards. An early 4th quarter gamble by the Bees on their own 31 was costly as VT halted the drive then moved in for the kill.
In a sloppy game for both teams, host Florida State (7-3, 5-2) defeated in-state rival Miami (5-5, 3-4), 23-19, Saturday afternoon at Doak Campbell Field. QB E.J. Manuel had an efficient game even though he didn't convert many 3rd downs (4-11). He finished 17 of 23 for 196 yards and a score. The Noles, on a five-game winning streak, were awesome on defense, again, getting eight tackles for loss with three sacks. The special teams carried the day accounting for 16 of FSU's points. Three Canes' turnovers really hurt the visitors and a combined 19 penalties didn't impress. Miami QB Jacory Harris tried to claw back into the game with two 4th quarter scores. He finished with 225 yards, a TD and a pick.
#9 Clemson (9-1, 6-1) escaped with the Atlantic Division championship Saturday afternoon, besting Wake Forest (5-5, 4-3), 31-28, Saturday afternoon on a last-second FG. The young Tigers are headed to the ACC Championship despite a shaky performance on both sides of the ball. QB Tajh Boyd threw two picks, which allowed Wake to stay in the game. But he got on a roll, even with outstanding frosh WR Sammy Watkins knocked out with an apparent shoulder injury, finishing 27 of 43 for 343 yards and two TDs. Two missed FG's will haunt the Demon Deacons in their gutsy performance leading by 21 points in the third quarter. It seemed as though the defense ran out of gas in the fourth.
UVA (7-3, 4-2) hosted Duke (3-7, 1-5) Saturday afternoon at Scott Stadium and came away with a huge and much-needed victory, 31-21, keeping their ACC Coastal Division title hopes alive and ending a three-game losing streak to the visitors. The run defense was terrific and the line did its job. Duke came up with a good drive in the second half to tie the game at 21 then the Wahoo defense took over. Blue Devil QB Sean Renfree put up good numbers, 303 yards with 1 TD, but there was no rushing threat. Cavalier QB Mike Rocco was spotty but picked up his play late in the second quarter finishing with 191 yards and two touchdowns.
Never underestimate the power of senior day for the home team as host Boston College (3-7, 2-5) beat NC State (5-5, 2-4), 14-10, Saturday afternoon in Chestnut Hill. The Eagles' defense was dominant as BC secured their second win in three games. The Wolfpack offense came out strong early but stalled until late in the contest. QB Mike Glennon was pushing, perhaps too hard, with 40 attempts for 220 yards with an INT. The Pack must win their final two games to be bowl-eligible. If the defense can continue to play inspired, CB David Amerson got his 10th pick of the year, maybe that can happen.
Maryland (2-8, 1-5) faced non-conference foe, Notre Dame Saturday night at FedEx Field in Landover and fell, 45-21. QB Danny O'Brien threw a pick six that made the blowout truly ugly midway through the third quarter ensuring the Terps sixth straight loss. Later O'Brien suffered a broken bone in his left arm and is out for the remainder. MD finished with 364 total yards to 508 for the Irish, who had little trouble moving the ball and taking control early.

Girls drop two more to Christian, Belle
Jason Ferguson
Published: Thursday, February 14th, 2013
The Custer High School girls basketball team lost its 12th game in a row last Friday night in Belle Fourche, falling to the Broncs 50-36.
The teams were tied at 28-28 at the half, but it was another bad third quarter in which the 'Cats were outscored 13-4, that the game got away from Custer.
"The third quarter we didn't come out ready, and we didn't transition as well as we should have,"�head coach Stephanie Ornelas said.�"We did a good job of shutting down their offense (in the first half)."
Sam McNeel was the team's leading scorer in the loss with 11 points.
"Offensively, we couldn't miss a basket in the first half,"�Ornelas said.�"The second half we couldn't buy a basket. We got impatient when the shots didn't fall and started rushing."
On Feb. 5, it was a second-half defensive collapse that was the team's undoing, as it was outscored 27-9 on the way to a 53-31 loss to the visiting Rapid City Christian Comets.
The team had no answer for Christian's 6-0 center Marissa Heard, who scored nearly half of her team's points in the game, hitting for 26, most of which came from point-blank range.

Cleanup continues at former GAF site
The 905-foot steel sheet piling sea wall -- at a cost of nearly $1.6 million -- is designed to protect the shoreline on the north and west sides of the former GAF Materials Corp. property on Erie's west bayfront.
A $315,000, 500-foot-long tube inside a ditch running along the Sassafras Street side of the 12.5-acre property will carry stormwater to the water's edge, at the end of the new sea wall.
The second phase of the former GAF site's multimillion-dollar environmental cleanup is underway. It's the next step in the Erie County Convention Center Authority's long-range plan for a major mixed-use development at the vacant waterfront property.
"The first phase of remediation started last year. That was excavation of all the foundations and pulling underground structures out of the ground, and crushing those materials," said Casey Wells, the Convention Center Authority's executive director.
"Now we're into the second phase, and we're where we expected to be," Wells said. "Overall the project is on schedule."
Work crews from Erie's Lakeshore Towing are installing the sea wall, which is being built to keep any possible contaminants from the property from getting into Presque Isle Bay.
Ray Showman Jr. Excavating Inc., of Waterford, is handling the stormwater management project.
Both projects are expected to be finished in September, said Joe Senita, who is supervising the cleanup for London-based AMEC, an engineering and project management firm.
"It's a big job. There's quite a few tasks associated with this," Senita said of the work, which received an important go-ahead in April when the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection signed off on cleanup plans.
Authority officials have said the cleanup will meet the highest standards of DEP's Act 2 program, which governs the environmental cleanup of former industrial sites, so that a variety of uses -- including housing, retail, restaurants and parks -- can be considered for the property.
"We're remediating it to meet the desired end use, which is Act 2, so from that aspect, it's being done the right way, the way that makes sense," Senita said.
Roughly $7 million in state money is financing the GAF cleanup. The Convention Center Authority purchased the site for $3 million in December 2010 and now refers to it as Bayfront Place.
GAF closed its asphalt shingle plant in 2007 and demolished it in 2010.
The authority's preliminary redevelopment plan includes a landscaped park area, new apartments and town houses, a midpriced hotel, year-round marketplace, shops, restaurants and a parking garage.
However, Erie City Councilman David Brennan and architects Chip Wachter and Jeff Kidder are among those who have created alternate designs for the GAF site that promote denser development geared to an urban setting, with recreational, residential and retail developments.
Mayor Joe Sinnott has said he wants to see a site geared toward a variety of uses that generates property tax revenue.
DEP officials have said the GAF cleanup plan significantly addresses various environmental concerns, including the capping of contaminated soil at the site and construction; preventing the movement of tar-like material found on bedrock at the property; and keeping soil from getting into Presque Isle Bay.
Convention Center Authority officials have said it could take up to 10 years to fully develop the property.

The Minister with Jaqueline Goerk, Director of SAVE Brasil, and Peter Davies the Welsh Sustainable Futures Commissioner.
Image: The RSPB
As leaders from across the globe prepare for the Rio+20 Earth Summit this week, two of the UK's most senior environmental figures yesterday (18th June) witnessed firsthand the importance of conserving our natural heritage.
Stewart Stevenson MSP, Scotland's Minister for the Environment and Climate Change and Caroline Spelman MP, the UK Government's Secretary of State for the Environment were invited to visit the Tijuca National Park.
The trip, organised by the RSPB, aimed to highlight the importance of tropical forests in tackling climate change, protecting and improving biodiversity, helping communities and encouraging greater protection of the UK's own natural environment.
Situated a short distance from the UN's Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio, Tijuca National Park is an excellent example of how protection of the natural environment is important, both for its own sake but also for sustainable community development. It is also home to many species of threatened wildlife and plays a crucial role in delivering a water supply to Rio and regulating the local climate.
Several hundred years ago the area was deforested, and was only replanted in the mid 19th Century after the city's water supply started to dry up. Following this work the water supply returned which also benefited the local climate and tourism.
Rio+20 will focus on seven priority areas including: decent jobs, energy, sustainable cities, food security and sustainable agriculture, water, oceans and disaster readiness.
Mr Stevenson's attendance in Rio serves to reinforce Scotland's commitment to world-leading climate change legislation and ambitious carbon reduction targets.
Minister for Environment and Climate Change Stewart Stevenson said:
"Scotland's biodiversity is truly special, with a wealth of wildlife and natural habitats that enrich our lives and benefit society in so many ways."
"We know that our natural environment has a key role to play in achieving sustainable development and we must act together to protect our biodiversity for present and future generations."
"Yesterday I was delighted to visit Tujican National Park to see at first hand the tropical rainforests which are playing a vital part in protecting the natural environment and tackling climate change."
"In Scotland, we are committed to creating a healthy, sustainable natural environment that supports our communities and helps us address the challenge of climate change."
"Scotland is leading the way in tackling climate change with our ambitious climate change legislation, low carbon energy programme and leading research and development base. We have also recently launched our innovative climate justice fund and have accepted an invitation from the United Nations to deepen our engagement with their sustainable energy agenda."
"We recognise the urgency of addressing climate change. We hope our strong example, which I am promoting in Rio this week, can inspire other nations to equally ambitious action to achieve an equitable and sustainable future."
Lloyd Austin, Head of Conservation Policy at RSPB Scotland, added : "RSPB Scotland is pleased that Mr Stevenson visited Tijuca to see, at first hand, how tropical forests, are vital to not only the health of our planet but also to our communities. Talks that will be held in Rio later this week must recognise this and ensure we protect these precious areas.
"The summit will discuss the protection of the natural environment, including re-affirming commitments to global biodiversity targets agreed in 2010, as well as sustainable development and a greener economy. We hope that Scotland can play a leading role in these discussions – and ensure that these concepts are put into practice both at home and internationally."
Nature is in trouble – so millions of people are stepping up to help. Our wildlife has been disappearing at an alarming rate. But small steps make a big difference. If we all act together and get stuck in, we can save our wildlife.
How you can get involved


text:
1. What are you currently doing?
My name is Flo Spelling. I am working at an internet start up company – which involves a bit of everything, strategy, project management, marketing, admin and tea making!
2. What did you do before this?
I worked in the city for 7 years in fund management.
3. How long have you dreamt of doing this?
It wasn't a dream!
Just an opportunity that came up at a time when I was wondering "Is this really it? Is this what I'm going to do for the rest of my life!"
4. What inspired you to do it?
The sales pitch of the other guys! No, it was just the realization that I had skills that were very transferable and valuable in a different market.
The actual moment of truth came during contract negotiations and my father wasn't very well – made me realize that life is too short to be doing something you don't like and you have to take every opportunity that you can.
5. From a practical perspective, how did you plan for it?
No planning – I just made the leap. Had I planned, I might not have done it.
Unusually for a start up, I am being paid (although not much!) and I'm fortunate that my life is pretty flexible, I don't own a property, have a family to look after etc.
However, I've still had to make sacrifices, but I think it's worth it, what's the point of being paid lots of money if you're not enjoying what you're doing – or if you don't get the chance to spend it!
7. What was the hardest thing about making this happen?
Having the belief that it was the right thing to do – and convincing others of that!
8. What has been the best thing about doing this?
It sounds like a cliché, but I have learnt so much about myself, what I enjoy doing and what I don't and my horizons have definitely broadened.
I also feel like a "useful" person.
Networking in my "new" industry, is actually networking – everyone is helping everyone else out – which is a great feeling!
9. What advice would you give to other people who want to do something similar?
If you can afford to do it – do it.
Even if it doesn't work out, at least you tried and who knows what doors it will open.
My major fear was not doing it and then regretting it.
10. What resources did you find really useful?
I read a book a few years ago which while on a different (and much more socially useful) topic, sowed a seed in my mind "Leaving Microsoft to change the world" by John Wood
In terms of moving into the field I'm now in (tech and social media), I'm fortunate that there are lots of people out there trying lots of things and talking about it on the internet (www.techcrunch.com is a good place to start) which helps!
11. What else?
The most inspirational quote I've heard in the last year…
"If you're not failing, you're not taking enough risks" – and who wants to lead a risk free life?!
Some pieces of advice I've also had:
- Think about where you want to be in 5 years time – does this help to get you there?
- What will your exit route be if it doesn't work out?
- Will the environment suit you – it's more important than you think. (I went from a large, buzzing office where the phone constantly rang, to working in a very small environment which was very quiet –which was a massive adjustment)

When Steve Guttenberg was playing hard to get for Cocoon II, pleading scheduling conflicts, his senior co-stars from the first movie got on the phone. Steve signed. Co-producer Lili F. Zanuck says, "We worked real hard to get him, and we're real happy to have him." In the sequel the oldsters who went off into space in the 1986 movie return to earth. Back are Don Ameche, Gwen Verdon, Wilford Brimley, Jack Gilford, Jessica Tandy, Hume Cronyn, Maureen Stapleton and Herta Ware. Newcomers will include Elaine (September) Stritch and Courteney (Family Ties) Cox. Head alien Brian Dennehy won't be back, but alien enchantress Tahnee Welch will.
Although ABC's Moonlighting received 150 furious phone calls from fans in the two days immediately after Cybill Shepherd (Maddie) told Bruce Willis (David) that the baby wasn't his and that she'd married another guy, producer-creator Glenn Caron says he isn't losing any sleep. "If David and Maddie had made up, had a baby, gotten married—suddenly we would be doing a domestic series," he says. "We desperately didn't want to do twentyninesomething."
All-the-world's-a-stage department: Madonna starts rehearsals in New York later this month for the Lincoln Center production of David Mamet's Speed-the-Plow. Meanwhile husband Sean Penn has finished directing a one-act play he'd written during his 32-day stay in jail last year. A work in progress, The Kindness of Women was presented for two performances at a 60-seat theater, The Pink, in Santa Monica. Two seats were taken by Penn's pals, actor Harry Dean Stanton and Barfly poet Charles Bukowski. The three-character play follows Joe, a young drunk, as he repeatedly phones his wife, Sara. She wants him to come home, but he says he's too blotto. A typical exchange:
Sara: You're such a jerk.
Joe: You're such a bitch.
Although the dialogue may not give Harold Pinter pause, Penn did get kudos on his directing. "He's a brilliant director," said comedienne Martha Jane, who acted in the play. "I never saw an outburst of temper from him." Bravo!
Joan Van Ark has had it up to here playing that Goody Two-shoes, Valene, on Knots Landing. So she told her agent, "Find me a trollop who falls off a bar stool. Something 180 degrees from Valene." Come this spring, Van Ark won't be falling from any bar stools, but she will star as a madam, Brenda Allen, who oversaw one of L.A.'s finer fleshpots during the '40s in the fact-based Shakedown on the Sunset Strip on CBS. Says Van Ark: "It was a delicious departure. Next, I want to have a dirty-fingernails role."
Prince William, 5, has a valentine, and he sent her one. The clerk at the post office in Tetbury, Gloucestershire (near Prince Charles and Diana's country retreat, High grove), said, "His detective delivered it, and we sent it registered mail." So did the little prince send just one valentine? "Just the one," reported the clerk. "He mustn't be playing the field."
Most TV stars make movies when their series go on hiatus, but Growing Pains' Kirk Cameron, 17, is spending his break at high school. Kirk, usually taught by a tutor on the set, has enrolled in a San Fernando Valley school to finish his senior year this spring.
Marlee Matlin is working on her speaking skills with the help of speech-pathologist-to-the-stars Dr. Lillian Glass. As an Oscar presenter for Best Actor this April 11, Matlin plans to say, rather than sign, "The envelope, please." Reports Glass: "She needed a lot of work. Her voice was flat, monotone, and she talked too fast. Deaf people have to learn inflection and pitch." Matlin has a speaking role in the planned CBS movie with Anne Bancroft, The Bridge to Silence.
In Flipside, a proposed NBC sitcom, ex-Beatle Ringo Starr will play a rocker raising his kids. Don Johnson—yes, that Don Johnson—will produce. Jeff (Taxi) Conaway, who auditioned to play Ringo's roadie, says that one of the writers explained the concept this way: "Just think of it as a kind of Keith Richards Knows Best."

The 8 Things I Wish Id Known About Having a BabyMeredith Carroll
It's not unusual for pregnant women to read everything they can get their hands on about the babies growing inside their bellies. From weekly emails from various parenting sites to a gazillion books available for purchase, to advice, facts and tidbits from doctors, nurses, midwives, doulas, friends, sisters, mothers and mothers-in-law — you can spend your entire pregnancy learning solely about your pregnancy.
I was one of those people during my first pregnancy. Which is why I think having the actual baby was a bit of a shock. Not the delivery part (although there were some surprises there, too), but what happens when you actually go home. With the baby. It's kind of like planning for a wedding and not thinking much about the marriage. Big. Mistake.
My second (and final!) pregnancy this year was the opposite. I gave little thought to the pregnancy and spent most of my time thinking about what would happen afterward.
Here's what I wish I had known about my first baby that I was seriously relieved to knew about my last one:
1. The Bleeding
The first time I gave birth (after 16 hours of labor, 2 hours of pushing and then a c-section), I was shocked — shocked! — that I was bleeding vaginally the next day. Like, hemorrhaging blood. While the amount of blood lessened after a few days, it didn't stop entirely for nearly six weeks. This time after a scheduled c-section the bleeding didn't stop for 5 weeks. No one told me about the bleeding the first time, but I was sure glad I knew to expect it this time. Anticipating blood is always a good thing (translation: buy whatever maxi pads you like before you go into labor and have them waiting for you at home).
2. The Swaddle
You'll be impressed with how the nurses in the maternity wing swaddle your baby. Particularly when you try to do it by yourself when you go home. You'll never do it as well. Ever. And a good swaddle can be the difference between an angel baby and a devil, fussy baby. Don't go to nursing school just get a swaddle with Velcro. You'll feel like a pro. Oh, and feel free to swaddle your baby all day if necessary. Babies have witching hours — they just do — and swaddling can really, really help.
3. The Wine
If I had known I could drink while breastfeeding (yes, while actually breastfeeding or before breastfeeding, not just in the same general era of breastfeeding) and not have to "pump and dump," I might have tried harder to do it (breastfeed) the first time around. The lactation consultant at the hospital where I gave birth, whom I trust implicitly, explained to me this time that there's no exact time when the alcohol hits the bloodstream, and your baby won't end up in AA just because you have a glass or two. And that glass or two of wine at night (or at noon or for breakfast — whatever) is a lifesaver.
4. The Breastfeeding Accessories
I can't say enough about my Bebe Au Lait and My Brest Friend. If you breastfeed in public and don't want to expose yourself, the Bebe au Lait is genius — you can nurse privately in public but still see what's happening down below. And the My Brest Friend allows me to nurse and work at the same time (I prop myself up with lots of pillows and then put another pillow on my knees and my computer on that pillow and reach over my daughter to type). It's a nice idea to think I will gaze at my baby lovingly while she eats, but the reality is that I have to work. Knowing that this time made the thought of working while nursing much less daunting.
5. The Pacifier
Pacifiers are great, so be sure to have lots of them on hand. They get dirty and get lost. Often. And know that itty bitty babies can struggle to keep them in their mouths, so you'll be doing it for them. Usually when you want to least. But knowing that is a quarter of the battle. Or a fifth. Which is something.
6. The Getting Out of the House
With my first baby I felt really bad about how long it would take me to get out of the house each day. Leaving for anything before the crack of noon was a challenge. Between trying to brush my teeth, make the bed and shower — and feed and dress and diaper the baby seemingly like every hour — it was as if I was taking one step forward and nine back every 30 minutes. I'm better at getting moving now because I know to expect the delays and not feel bad about them, and I'm generally more efficient, even with a toddler at home, too. Knowing it can be an issue and being prepared is key — as is not beating yourself up for struggling to get out the door.
7. The Stains
From the lanolin cream to soothe sore nipples to the leaking milk to the baby's spit-up, my shirts are stained. I know that now, but it was an unpleasant surprise the first time. Now I know not to wear things that are too nice, or at least I know not to be disappointed when I have to change clothes for the umpteenth time.
8. The Reality Shift
I fretted a lot when I was pregnant the first time about adjusting to life with the baby, and what it would be like. What I learned, and what I knew to expect this time is that the shift is immediate and I hardly ever looked back. As soon as the baby arrives, it's hard to imagine what life was like before. You adjust because it's what you have to do. Everything else is just a detail. You'll figure it out.
What do you know now that you wish you had known when you were pregnant?

Challenging Ethno-National Citizenship:
Multiculturalism and Immigration Regimes in Germany and Israel
July 1 – 3, 2002
Challenging Ethno-National Citizenship:
Multiculturalism and Immigration Regimes in Germany and Israel
Based on the recently published "Challenging Ethnic Citizenship: German and Israel Perspectives on Immigration" (Daniel Levy & Yfaat Weiss, eds. Berghahn Books, 2002) a group of international scholars will discuss the changing forms of majority-minority relations in these two countries.
Both Germany and Israel have descent-based conceptions of nationhood and have granted members of their nation (i.e. ethnic Germans and Jews) who wish to immigrate automatic access to their respective citizenship privileges. Both countries are confronted with an increasingly heterogeneous population.
In Germany -- with the introduction of partial ius soli in the year 2000 and the recently published recommendations of a government-appointed commission, we observe a gradual departure from ethno-cultural assumptions and an official turn toward a more civic oriented citizenship conception. But these changes have not remained uncontested. Policy reforms easing naturalization and recent proposals to regulate immigration (essentially amounting to the official recognition that de facto Germany has become a country of immigration) have reinforced objections to a multicultural vision of German society and are likely to be thematized during the upcoming Federal elections in the fall of 2002.
In the Israeli case, the ethno-national foundations inscribed in its 'Law of Return' remain intact. However, an increasingly vocal minority of Palestinian citizens and the presence of non-Jewish labor migrants, have reinforced the dilemma between a universal democratic state and a particularistic Jewish one.
In light of the events of September 11, we observe a 'cultural turn', which finds its central expression in a public discourse that emphasizes allegedly ascribed notions of civilization and religion, Islam in particular. Concomitant with this transformation, perceptions of alterity are changing. A group of international scholars will bring their expertise to bear on these and other questions. A comparison of the two countries points to similarities that owe as much to nation-specific characteristics as to evolving migration developments and the diffusion of global norms. By bringing Germany and Israel together into a multi-disciplinary framework the conference provides new empirical and theoretical perspectives for the study of immigration, multicultural alternatives as well as the possible implications these findings carry for policy makers.

They must have done a reissue of Dragon Quest V on the DS, because I couldn't find it at a decent price for quite a while. I read about it through Jeremy Parish's review several years ago. It sounded excellent and so I put it on my list of "games to buy". This list is a running wish list of games I have interest in, I slowly purchase the games and them mark them off the list. Sometimes some games get axed before I get a chance to purchase them. In other words my desire wanes.
Not so with Dragon Quest V. I have had Dragon Quest VIII for over two years and Dragon Quest IX for almost a year. I have not gone all the way to the end in either of them yet, I keep chipping away. Again, not so with Dragon Quest V, I played, and played, and played. My wife was patient. My Master's Homework still got done, but somehow I found time to get to the end of this excellent game.
In Dragon Quest V you go through the life of the hero, start as a boy, get married later, and then quest with your children. I chose the brat lady Deborah for my hero's wife. I found this very fulfilling. My wife laughed, she's not quite as brash as Deborah, but my wife is a dang fine looking woman who rolls her eyes a lot when my hobby of gaming comes up.
Anyway. There were some things I loved about this game. First of all, because it is a remake of an older game from a different time, I felt a lot of nostalgia. I wrote a while ago complaining about the dearth of JRPG's. I have to recant somewhat slightly, while it is true that not as many new ones seem to be coming to the States, there is still a huge catalog of games I haven't touched. The thing is, I replay games a lot. A few games will last me a long time, not too mention I am busy as a husband, father, church-goer, and teacher. Therefore, if I can find an exceptional title, such as Dragon Quest V, then I am almost guaranteed to enjoy it for many years. I won't replay it for a while, but I will most likely replay it at some point.
This game speaks to people. It is intimate as has been noted by others who have played it. I was looking on game boards about the different wives and there is some serious passion about who people like the most. I enjoyed that part of the game and took it seriously, I chose Deborah, it was a good laugh to hear her comments and yet to sense the insecurity beneath the sarcasm. I enjoyed having the hero's children in my party-I named them after my own children. Who wouldn't want to save the world with their family?
I loved the music on the overworld, in the towns, and even in the dungeons. I enjoyed the simple yet expressive graphics, especially those crazy monster designs!
I had a great time finding out where the liquid metal slime locations were so I could 'power' level. I was frustrated when I faced the final boss for the first time and I used a crappy strategy. I am pleased that though difficult, thoughtful planning makes the Dragon Quest games fair. I get too used to Final Fantasy where I hardly need strategy, I just need to be overleveled to win. Needing strategy is a thought provoking process. I enjoy it.
I still have the bonus dungeon to do. I don't know that I will any time soon if ever, time is limited at this point in my life. But I can say Dragon Quest V is one of the best games I have played for a long time, proving again, that hi-def and great graphics don't necessarily a great game make.
It's more about heart isn't it?

Port shut down impacts retailers nationwide

With union members still walking picket lines, NRF is stepping up efforts to convince President Obama to intervene in a strike that has closed most terminals at the nation's largest port complex in the middle of retail's busy holiday season.
"The shutdown is already having a significant negative economic impact on retailers trying to bring in merchandise for their final push for holiday sales and will soon have an impact on consumers," NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay said in a statement issued to media on Monday.
"This strike is now at the national emergency stage impacting industries far and wide," Shay said. " 'Urging' both sides toward a solution is not the answer. The Obama Administration needs to show leadership and resolve to get the ports operational again and prevent any further economic damage."
Shay's statement was a follow-up to a letter NRF sent to Obama last week urging him to step in and warning that a prolonged strike could have "a devastating impact on the U.S. economy." If the strike continues, Obama has authority under the Taft-Hartley Act to order the union back to work.
Today, NRF and nearly 100 trade associations ranging from farmers to manufacturers to retailers sent a joint letter to Obama asking him to take action and emphasizing the wide range of industries affected by the shutdown. Both sides agreed this afternoon to meet with a federal mediator, but picket lines remained in place and NRF continued to urge Obama to step in.
The strike is making national news with CBS, Fox, National Public Radio, Reuters, Bloomberg, USA Today, the Financial Times, the Los Angeles Times, and The Hill, among others, covering it.
"The ports are essentially shut down," NRF Vice President for Supply Chain and Customs Policy Jonathan Gold told Fox host Neil Cavuto. "While the majority of holiday merchandise has already arrived in the United States right now retailers are making the last big push to get the hot holiday merchandise to their stores. Right now they're stuck at the ports or struck on ships that are out at sea."
NRF has been in continual contact with port management and retailers to assess the impact of the work stoppage, and has conducted daily conference calls with retailers since the strike began.
Clerical workers from the International Longshore and Warehouse Union walked off the job in Los Angeles last Tuesday in a dispute over job security and the strike quickly spread to 10 of the 14 terminals at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Longshoremen refused to cross the picket lines, shutting down operations at the affected terminals.
A 10-day lockout at West Coast ports in 2002 led to supply chain disruptions that lingered for six months and cost the economy $1 billion for each day the ports were closed.

Fertility Treatments
The Emory Reproductive Center offers a variety of therapies for female and male infertility. These medications and procedures represent the latest techniques and therapies in the field of reproductive medicine.
When a couple is seeking consultation, both the man and the woman will undergo a complete evaluation to determine potential causes and develop a course of treatment.
Please use the links below to explore our resources on fertility treatments:
Ovulation Induction
Anovulation is the absence of ovulation. Anovulation is frequently corrected with fertility drugs and called ovulation induction.
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)
Infertile couples may have difficulty conceiving because of factors that make it difficult for the sperm to reach the egg. During intrauterine insemination (IUI), the partner's sperm is placed directly into the uterus near the time of ovulation.
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
The in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedure involves five basic steps, but at the Emory Reproductive Center, each patient's individual medical history and condition is evaluated for customized treatment and therapy.
Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) may help patients have a successful pregnancy and a child free from selected genetic disorders.Learn more >>
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
The Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) procedure involves injecting an egg with one single sperm. This highly delicate procedure is performed under a microscope by a specially trained embryologist to ensure exactness.
Embryo Assisted Hatching
The Emory Reproductive Center routinely provides assisted hatching as part of our full range of IVF services. This process is used to help the developing embryo attach to the uterine wall, which increases the likelihood of achieving a viable pregnancy.
Embryo Cryopreservation
The Emory Reproductive Center offers patients an outstanding Cryopreservation Program that freezes and stores embryos for future use.
Donor Program
In some fertility cases, a woman will not have adequate eggs or a man will not have adequate sperm. Under these circumstances, the Emory Reproductive Center offers an egg, embryo, and sperm donation program.

Hey Stuart,
I am sure David or Josh will jump in and let you know what they have tried or are thinking of trying. They brought some sort of technical camera adapted to attach to an S2 with them on the New England fall foilage trip last fall. I used it with my S2 for a photo of a church to gain perspective control. It worked with no problem, but I can't recall the brand. Sorry.
Good luck on your quest.

Doctors have experience using stem cells from umbilical cord blood (cord blood transplant), from peripheral blood (peripheral blood stem cell transplant) or from bone marrow (bone marrow transplant) in a bone marrow transplant.
In a cord blood transplant, doctors use stem cells from umbilical cord blood. Umbilical cord blood is the blood left in the umbilical cord after a baby's birth. The cord blood can be frozen and stored until it's used in an cord blood transplant. Mothers need to make arrangements to donate umbilical cord blood to a cord blood bank prior to their baby's birth.
Cord blood has fewer stem cells available than other bone marrow transplant options. However, the stem cells in the blood can grow a higher number of new blood cells than stem cells from bone marrow.
Researchers continue to study potential uses for cord blood, such as how it may be used in stem cell transplants for larger adults.
Request an appointment with a Mayo Clinic doctor to determine if transplant is right for you.
Mayo Clinic transplant staff can answer your questions about the transplant process and post-transplant life.

EDITORIAL: Winds of change
This past week, we commemorated two landmarks in our nation's long march toward full equality and democracy — the 79th birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, civil rights leader and champion of workers and all oppressed people, and the 35th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court ruling that upheld women's reproductive rights.
Trades work to hire more minorities, women
PHILADELPHIA — A landmark agreement reached last month could open the way to diversifying the construction workforce here. Pending approval by the City Council, contractors, the city's Convention Center authority and the building trades unions, new major Center City projects could be affected. The deal would set measurable goals and percentages for hiring workers of color and women.

Martin Freeman talks about how Andy Serkis set the tone for 'The Hobbit'
I guess it's just a matter of time until they announce John Krasinski as the lead in "Episode VII," right?
I mean, seeing Jim from "The Office" wielding a lightsaber is just as unlikely as Martin Freeman being the lead in "The Hobbit." And yet, here we are, and I did indeed sit down with Freeman to talk about stepping into the familiar feet of Bilbo Baggins for "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," the first in the three films that will tell the story of the dearly beloved book.
Freeman first came to popularity with his work as Tim in the original UK version of "The Office," and the same qualities that made him perfect for that role have served him well in other roles, like Arthur Dent in "The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy," John Watson on Stephen Moffat's outstanding "Sherlock," and of course, the completely out-of-water Mr. Baggins, far from his Shire, doing his best to survive an adventure.
We talked about playing such an iconic character, and also about stepping into a group of people who have already made three giant films together. Freeman struck me as a very thoughtful interview, someone who doesn't just fire off rote answers to things. We talked a bit about how strange it is for him to find himself acting opposite "Sherlock" co-star Benedict Cumberbatch in very different circumstances.
More than anything, though, we talked about how important Andy Serkis was to Freeman's process and how shooting the "Riddles In The Dark" sequence was key to setting an overall tone for the film. We're going to have interviews with both Andy Serkis and Peter Jackson coming up this week as well, and you'll hear how they describe the shooting of that same sequence. It is one of the most important things in all of Tolkien's work, and it sounds like it was also incredibly important to the production of "The Hobbit."
"The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" opens this Friday in theaters everywhere.

Easy ridin' with the Stagecoach Barn's weekly Bike Night
The Stagecoach Barn in Richland kick-started its weekly summer Bike Nights last week.
Booker Dave Simon started the feature four years ago and moved it to Thursdays, where its been for the past three years. When the weather shapes up, Simon said you'll see bikers and non-bikers converge on the venue each week. At last year's finale in September, more than 200 bikers rode in -- and its not just Harleys.
"It kind of blew us away," Simon said.
The event runs from 6:30 to 9:30 tonight and continues through September at the Stagecoach Barn, 8940 N. 32nd St.
Here's what to expect if you go:
-- Bikes, lots of 'em.
-- Grillables outside on the patio, which also has a fire pit and horseshoes.
-- Drink specials.
-- Live music, everything from rock to country.
For more information, call 629-9569 or go www.blackhawkgrill.com/barn.html.
Want more bike nights?
There are a couple more bike nights in the area.
Rhino's Hometown Pub, 107 S. Main St. in Plainwell, and the Richland Pub, 8253 N. 32nd St. in Richland, started their respective bike nights Tuesday.
They run from 6 to 9 p.m. and include food and drink specials.
For more information, call Rhino's at 685-2220 or the Richland Pub at 629-4511.
Local singer/songwriter to release second album in 6 months
Six months after releasing her full-length debut album, "Velvet Vicegrip," the local guitarist/vocalist is feeding her need for better work with "Edible Audibles," which she'll release at 10 p.m. Saturday at Harvey's on the Mall, 416 S. Burdick St.
Dooley said she wasn't happy with her last album and when her friend Bill Hart started up his own label, Blazing Hart, she saw a chance to refine her sound. Dooley's 12-track disc will be the first release from Hart's label. She said the work is more acoustic and "less bad electric guitar." It was recorded live in the studio and not pieced together in stages, she said.
"It sounds totally different and WAY better. It totally represents the way I am as an artist," she said.
Dooley also has a new band backing her: guitarist Grant West, drummer Tommy Ufkis and bassist Stacy Koviak, who also will perform a solo set to open the night.
Kalamazoo's Casey Jones and the Beat Down and the duo of Graham Parsons and Joey Artibee also will open.
You can hear Dooley Noted talk about the new album on the radio at 12:20 a.m. Friday on the Nonchalant Cafe Hour on WIDR-FM (89.1).

R&B artist Jon B preps new disc, will play State
I tried a number of times to get R&B artist Jon B on the horn to talk about his upcoming CD, "Back to Love," his first since 2004 (not counting 2007's Christmas album, "Holiday Wishes: From Me to You"), and to preview this weekend's show at the State Theatre.
It was a no-go from the tenor's end, so here's a quick update. In 1995, Jon B teamed up with Babyface on the track "Someone to Love," which was nominated for a Grammy Award for best pop collaboration. He's released five albums, including 1997's "Cool Relax" and 2001's "Pleasures U Like" that both reached the top five on Billboard's R&B charts.
His 1998 single, "They Don't Know," peaked at No. 2 on Billboard's R&B charts.
At the moment, he appears to be working on a new album, "Back to Love." You can catch him live at 8 p.m. Saturday at the State. Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 the day of the show. For more information, call 345-6500.
You can hear Jon B's latest single, "Oooh So Sexy," at www.myspace.com/jonboogotti.
In case you missed it, the Kalamazoo Gazette's entertainment guide Ticket is online in a number of places. You can catch us at www.mlive.com/ticket or on social-networking sites (www.myspace.com/kzooticket and Facebook). Drop by and say hello.

D. Wiebe (INASAN, Moscow, Russia), W. D. Watson (UIUC)
We model the polarized dust thermal emission originating in a cloud with both uniform and irregular magnetic field in order to study various factors that may contribute to the polarization hole effect (i. e., a factor of a few decrease in percentage linear polarization as the intensity decreases by an order of magnitude) observed in many, though not in all, dark clouds. Depolarization due to an increase in magnetic field tangling, a density cutoff in the polarizing effect of dust, thermalization, and density-dependent magnetic field are considered. We show that irregularities in the magnetic field can explain some, but not all, of the observed properties of the polarization holes. The anticorrelation of the intensity of dust emission and the percentage of polarization is reproduced better if one assumes that emission by the dust in the densest parts of a turbulent cloud is not polarized. These most dense parts in our models comprise just a few per cent of the entire cloud volume. Thermalization becomes important only for the optical depths of order of a few tens. This work was supported by NSF Grant AST 9988104.
