Habitat and Ecology
- Terrestrial
- Freshwater
Found on the banks of both standing or flowing fresh water and adjacent areas.
Terrestrial Biomes: forest
Aquatic Biomes: lakes and ponds; rivers and streams
Trophic Strategy
These shrews forage almost exclusively underwater, efficiently preying on aquatic invertebrates such as snails, mollusks, freshwater insects, and also small vertebrates such as fish, amphibians and frogs. Prey are weakened by a poisonous secretion from the submaxillary gland. They generally forage by taking a dive that can last up to 20 seconds. After coming onto land, water shrews quickly run into their burrows and emerge a moment later almost dry, after coming through the tight squeeze of the tunnel where the water is absorbed by the soil. The process is then repeated a few meters away along the stream bank. Water shrews are also known to eat some terrestrial insects as well, such as dipteran larvae.

Eurasian water shrew
The Eurasian water shrew (Neomys fodiens), known in the United Kingdom as the water shrew, is a relatively large shrew, up to 10 cm (4 in) long, with a tail up to three-quarters as long again. It has short, dark fur, often with a few white tufts, a white belly, and a few stiff hairs around the feet and tail. It lives close to fresh water, hunting aquatic prey in the water and nearby. Its fur traps bubbles of air in the water which greatly aids its buoyancy, but requires it to anchor itself to remain underwater for more than the briefest of dives.
Like many shrews, the water shrew has venomous saliva, making it one of the few venomous mammals, although it is not able to puncture the skin of large animals such as humans. Highly territorial, it lives a solitary life and is found throughout the northern part of Europe and Asia, from Britain to Korea.
The Eurasian water shrew grows to a length of about 10 cm (4 in) long with a tail length of 8 cm (3 in) and weight of 15 to 19 grams (0.53 to 0.67 oz). The dense short fur on the head, back and sides is greyish-black. The underparts are dirty white and are sharply demarcated from the dorsal surface. Sometimes they are tinged with rusty brown or occasionally are entirely dark grey. There is a white spot just behind the eye and often another near the small, rounded ear which is nearly hidden in the fur. The nose is black and the snout long and tapering.[3] The sharp, mostly white teeth are tipped with red, typical of the shrew subfamily Soricinae. The rusty colour comes from deposits of iron which serve to harden the enamel and which are concentrated in the tips of the teeth, particularly the molars which are the teeth most subject to wear.[4] The female has five pairs of nipples. The legs are short and the hind feet are powerful, with a fringe of short, stiff hairs on the outer edge, both of which features assist while it is driving its body through the water. The tail is slender and has a keel of short white hairs on the underside.[3] This shrew often utters shrill cries as it scurries about.[3]
Its karyotype has 2n = 52 and FN = 98.[1]
Distribution and habitat[edit]
The Eurasian water shrew is found throughout Europe with the exception of Iceland, Ireland, The Iberian Peninsula, certain Mediterranean islands and the Balkans.[3] In Asia, its range extends from western Siberia ans Asia Minor to North Korea and the Pacific coast of Siberia.[5] It rarely strays far from water and is found in and around ditches, streams, ponds, watercress beds, fish ponds, damp meadows and rough bushy ground adjoining water.[3]
Outside the breeding season, both male and female Eurasian water shrews maintain a territory but during the breeding season, only the females do so. At this time the males wander about visiting various female territories which indicates a promiscuous mating system without pair bonding.[6] On the whole they are solitary animals that seem to mutually avoid each other and there is no social hierarchy.[5]
The breeding season extends from April to September and much of the courtship takes place in the water. It either uses pre-existing burrows or digs its own. The nesting chamber is lined with moss, dry grass and leaves. Litters of four to eight or more young are born after a twenty four day gestation period. The young are tiny and helpless at birth. Their eyes open at fifteen to eighteen days and they are fully weaned at about seven weeks. Females can produce two or three litters a year.[3] The juveniles disperse after weaning, setting up their own territories.[6] They are sexually mature at six to eight months and their life expectancy is about three years.[5]
The Eurasian water shrew is active both night and day and is thoroughly at home in the water. Its short fur holds air and the skin does not get wet when it swims. When it emerges from the water it enters one of its many burrows and any moisture adhering to the fur is absorbed by the earth walls. It mostly feeds on aquatic organisms which are caught while it is swimming. It can remain underwater for twenty seconds before it has to surface to breathe. Larger prey items can be subdued by the toxic secretions from its submaxillary glands. They feed on crayfish, water snails, small fish, aquatic larvae, insects, spiders, amphibians, especially newts and small rodents are also eaten. It also feeds on land on such things as insect larvae.[5]
The Eurasian water shrew has a pair of glands under its jaw which produce venom, and this has been shown to be potent against the field vole (Microtus agrestis), and lethal at a minimum dose of fifteen milligrams per kilogram body weight.[7] The venom consists of a paralytic peptide which has been patented for use in neuromuscular therapy.[8]
The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the Eurasian water shrew as being of "Least concern" in its Red List of Threatened Species. This is because it has a large population distributed across a wide range and its population seems fairly stable. In some areas habitat degradation is occurring and wetlands are being drained but not to such an extent as to increase the status to "Vulnerable". Other possible threats include agricultural products and sewage which may pollute waterways and reduce the availability of food. In western Spain, a separate subspecies (N. f. niethammeri) has a very limited range and may be declining in numbers.[2]

Saxifraga oppositifolia
Saxifraga oppositifolia, the purple saxifrage or purple mountain saxifrage,[1] is a species of edible plant that is very common all over the high Arctic and also some high mountainous areas further south, including northern Britain, the Alps and the Rocky Mountains. It is even known to grow on Kaffeklubben Island in north Greenland,[2] at 83°40'N, the most northerly plant locality in the world.
It is a low-growing, densely or loosely matted plant growing to 3–5 cm high, with somewhat woody branches of creeping or trailing habit close to the surface. The leaves are small, rounded, scale-like, opposite in 4 rows, with ciliated margins. The flowers are solitary on short stalks, petals purple or lilac, much longer than the calyx lobes. It is one of the very first spring flowers, continuing to flower during the whole summer in localities where the snow melts later. The flowers grow to about 0.5 inches in diameter.
It grows in all kinds of cold temperate to arctic habitats, from sea level up to 1000 m, in many places colouring the landscape. It is a popular plant in alpine gardens, though difficult to grow in warm climates.
It serves as the territorial flower of Nordland county in Norway, Nunavut in Canada and the county flower of County Londonderry in Northern Ireland.
The flowers can be picked for food. The petals are edible. They are bitter at first but after about 1 second, they become sweet. They are slightly sticky. The flower is known to the Inuit people as aupilaktunnguaq.
Swiss botanist Christian Körner found the plant growing at an elevation of 4,505 meters in the Swiss alps, making it the highest elevation angiosperm in Europe and most likely the world.[3]
There are a few subspecies, including:
- Saxifraga oppositifolia ssp. glandulisepala Hultén - Native from Alaska.[4]
- Saxifraga oppositifolia ssp. oppositifolia L. - Native from Continental US.[5]
- Saxifraga oppositifolia ssp. smalliana (Engl. & Irmsch.) Hultén - Native from Alaska.[6]

Sport Management
What is Sport Management?
The rapidly growing sport industry and field of sport management is very broad, with jobs available in marketing, sales, and event management, as well as in segments of the business, from professional and intercollegiate athletics, to recreational facilities, and non-profit organizations.
Sport management programs provide business lessons specific to sport, offering a distinct advantage in a very competitive industry. Classes blending theory with practical examples and required field experiences provide the tools needed for successful careers in sport.
Why Study Sport Management?
Based on its blending of liberal arts and professional education, our sport management program produces graduates with the leadership, team-building, critical-thinking, and ethical decision-making skills needed to shape the future of the sport industry.
The program has been approved by the North American Society for Sport Management (NASSM) Program Review Council. Only one-quarter of all programs in North America have been approved by this group, demonstrating the quality of the Fisher experience.
As a top minor league sports market in the country, Rochester, has a range of practical opportunities for students right down the road from campus. In addition, Fisher is the summer home of the Buffalo Bills Training Camp, and in the summer of 2012, the Yankees AAA team played 37 games at Rochester's Frontier Field. With such varied and plentiful opportunities, you'll have experiences not afforded to other Sport Management programs.

Alumni Profile
Sara Beth Fisher '07
As an alumnus of the sport management program, I can truly say the experience I gained there molded my career within the field of sport. Every class that I took allowed me to take something away from it. Many of the classes were challenging, but looking back, those were the classes I gained the most from because they allowed me to grow as a person. The constant reminders of being professional and having an upbeat attitude still resonate in my life daily, even years after graduating.

Took time, finally grew on me
I must admit, I, too, did not care for the material of this dress. I am very petite and thought it wore like a tent at first. However, with all of our rain here in the Midwest, it actually wears well on a damp rainy humid day. The colors look great with blonde hair and a tan! I purchased this to wear to an outdoor beauty queen pageant. Beware.....I am the judge!!!

I am extremely pleased with Right at Home Reno. I spoke with them about getting help for my mother who lives alone. I am a mother of 2 young children and cannot spend as much time helping her as I wish I could (unfortunately, I know I'm not alone in this!) My mother is very independent but needs more help than she is willing to admit. I had heard about several different home care agencies and decided to start calling around to see what they could do. I had interviewed several companies and was very impressed with Right at Home Reno's level of knowledge and how much information I was given over the phone. I told them I was just looking and gathering information. The office staff was extremely thoughtful and considerate. They took their time to listen to me and answer my questions. They were willing to come out to my mother's home to talk about her options even though I wasn't sure she would agree to help at this point in time. I was very appreciative for the time they took to help me. After speaking with Right at Home Reno, I found out that a friend of mine had used them to help care for her mother. She told me that they were outstanding and she couldn't have gone through what she had with her mom without them. I am thankful that there are companies like Right at Home in the community for those of us that need this kind of support and help. I would highly recommend Right At Home Reno to any of my friends and family members who need quality assistance with daily care of their loved ones. We found that they truly care.

I have no doubt that "climate change" is real. Entropy is a physical certainty. However, common sense, and some critical thinking would question the validity of any theory where every possible outcome can be explained by that single theory. I think that "climate change" theory has more to do with a political agenda, than with actual climate change.

When republicans in Congress do anything in the dark of night, it's because they're hiding something. When democrats do things in dark of night - like passing Obama Care, it's because they're doing God's work. Interesting. Congress isn't elementary school - it's time for Dems to stop acting like petulant children that can't get their way, and grow up. I'm disappointed that Paul Tonko participated in this charade, but not at all surprised. He's a party man.

The police didn't come out because they likely knew it was the mayor, and they also likely knew he was intoxicated, so they didn't know how to respond. If it is shown that he was drunk, even from anecdotal evidence, those officers should be fired, as the coverup is worse than the crime. Also, the mayor should be charged, at a minimum, with harassment. The ladies he harassed will no doubt be filing a civil suit. It seems that the "power structure" within the city is trying to cover this, but with the slow drip, drip, drip, they likely can't. If I were the mayor, the public safety commish, and the officers, I would be worried.

You are correct, we are lucky that our mayor has the courage to make hard decisions (like to drive drunk) and take action (like to drive drunk) to protect our garbage. He seems well qualified to do so.

It seems obvious that they are covering something, and don't know what to do. If the Mayor was drunk, which by anecdotal evidence, he was, he needs help. But more troubling is how the police handled it. They covered for him, and let him drive home. That is far more serious.

Phil Steck's arguments against term limits seem weak to me. His objectivity on this subject is also suspect, given that he and his fellow legislators want to protect their jobs at any cost.

Most police officers believe that they are exempt from laws that the public must abide. Look at the way they drive. While they may be able to get away with poor behavior behind the wheel of a car, until the laws of physics are repealed, they will continue to be a danger to themselves and the pubic.

Skip to comments."Black and Missing" in the GOP
Posted on 03/16/2012 6:19:52 AM PDT by YourAdHere
As the Republican presidential campaign trail ensues, there is something obviously missing from GOP campaign activities and primariesBlack people.
A look at last months GOP presidential primaries reveals that older Whites dominated the electorate.
According to an analysis by the National Journal, 89 percent of voters in Arizona were White, while Blacks represented just 1 percent. Meanwhile, Hispanics made up about 8 percent of the vote.
The findings are a stark increase compared to the numbers found in the same state during the 2008 general election. That year, 75 percent of voters were White, while 4 percent were Black and 16 percent were Hispanic.
A similar increase was shown in this years Ohio primary. In the Buckeye state, a whopping 96 percent of voters were White, compared to 83 percent in the general election four years ago.
Aside from the primary elections, it is also apparent that Blacks are considerably absent from many GOP campaign activities.
While it is no secret that African Americans have long voted Democrat, the question at hand is whether the GOP is concerned with the obvious racial disconnect.
Michael Steele, former chairman of the Republican National Committee said in a recent interview with writer Kam Williams that there are a couple of things that the party can do to attract more African Americans.
One is to own up to our own failures as a party, when it comes to making investments in the Black community when it counted, like the Civil Rights Movement, Steele said during the interview.
He explained that while Republicans had been the architects of landmark civil rights legislation during the Reconstruction Era, the party hesitated when it really mattered in the 1950s and 60s, resulting in a longstanding riff between the GOP and Blacks.
Steele added that Republicans should also, Show up in the community prepared to have meaningful discussions about issues that actually matter to [Blacks] like job creation, in way that makes sense.
Thats why my very first official act as Chairman was to host a town hall meeting in Harlem. To me, that was a very important step to take, he said.
The National Black Republican Association (NBRA) has also continuously worked to close the gap. Their organization aims to return Blacks to their Republican roots and enlighten them on GOP ideals and values.
In the meantime, the AFRO wants to know if you spot more than one Black person at a GOP event. Email your submissions to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Please. Sign up.
Whose fault is this?
Try the blacks who march lockstep with the Democrat agenda.
The blacks who vote against their moral value system for power.
The blacks who do not look beyond the headlines.
Of course this can all be said about leftist whites too.
I have seen herman cain, allen west, j.c. watts at campaign events, are you blind?
That is one thing Republicans need to do, if they want the black vote.
I think Republicans, if they were willing to engage in meaningful discussions, showing how low taxes and freedom are key to economic growth, I think many blacks would come over to the Right side.
They are obviously amongst the 4 percent.
I think Republicans can do better than that.
The black community has free will and has made its choice.
I dont see why the GOP should get all twisted in knots about it.
Republicans have allowed themselves to be defined by Democrats and black activists as anti-black.
Unfortunately, it hasn't been a priority of the Republican party to change this, as evidenced by the lack of communication by Republicans to the black community.
It's called "Runaway Slave".
Tired? RUN FASTER!!!
Black community? What about colorblind, diversity?
How about blacks 'reach out' to whites? Oh that's right it is one way street.
I think you mean the 96% blacks that vote commie democrat can do better to join republicans.
Be who you are. Represent your core values. Let the voter judge and vote accordingly.
The above will NEVER be done by leftists. Their core values are repugnant to the majority of decent folks.
Pffft. Blacks don't show up at GOP events for a reason. One need only look at the treatment dished out to distinguished black men and women who dare call themselves Republicans or conservatives. Clarence Thomas, J.C. Watts, Michael Steele, Condoleezza Rice, Ward Connerly, Ken Hamblin and countless other courageous black leaders are vilified by Democrats and their friends in the media for refusing to accept their insulting labels. Every one of the aforementioned leaders is pilloried as an Uncle Tom. Somehow by achieving greatness they are traitors to their race. Have you ever stopped to wonder why a woman like Condoleezza Rice who speaks five languages and represents our country to foreign leaders is not really black while the drug dealer on the street who destroys black children is truly black? Can this type of treatment be construed as anything but a continuation of the Democrat war against the black psyche?
It would appear that the goals of conservatives and the goals of most blacks are not the same. C'est la vie.
They do it because blacks think Republicans don't like them. Considering the response, "if they can't figure it out, that's their problem", that is the opinion of some posters here, I can't really blame blacks for not taking the time to, "figure it out".
I just think that Republicans can do better than nothing to communicate these values, is all.
"...Have you ever stopped to wonder why a woman like Condoleezza Rice who speaks five languages and represents our country to foreign leaders is not really black while the drug dealer on the street who destroys black children is truly black? Can this type of treatment be construed as anything but a continuation of the Democrat war against the black psyche?..."
Why is this so hard for people to see????
I commend you on one of the most insightful statements I've read in a while....
The Republican message was lost on the Blacks in the 60's. Somehow the Dems glossed over Their history with the KKK, Bull Connor and George Wallace.
Would you really reach out to your neighbour, if you were convinced that he hated your guts?
The constituencies that make up the loyal democrat voting block are not moved by the message of liberty and self sufficiency.
When Lyndon Baines Johnson got his "great society {i.e. welfare programs for the unmarried} passed in 1965 he said, "We'll have these niggers voting demonRAT for the next hundred years".
The destruction of the black family and then the entire black vision of the American promise of "life, liberty and the PURSUIT of happiness", in exchange for monthly payments, has been no accident.
There, I think that's all the possible answers ~ but most likely it's because there are no Democrat primaries to show up to.
Go have yourself a meaningful discussion with the "BLACK LEADERS" then come back tell us how it works out.
democrats have "reached out" to blacks with higher gas prices, fewer jobs, higher electric bills, and higher minimum wage/no teen jobs etc. Is a black person able to think for himself or is it a 96% "group think".
Have you seen what happens to 'black people' when they do come, campaign or speak out in support of our Constitution? No, not done by white people, done by black people who claim that 'those' blacks are 'white thinking blacks', not real blacks...
Sheeperals are motivated by "it's someone else's fault and I'll get the bastids for you".
Bypass the leaders.
I'm not saying that we'd make massive inroads immediately, but any attempt to do so would be better than no attempt to do so.
...also KKK Byrd in west virginia and blacks still voted commie democrat.
The GOP doesn't need to change to get more black voters, the GOP needs to CHANGE the typical black voter who has been BRAINWASHED into believing their slavemasters in the Dem Party give a zhit about freeing them.
Man up, change the culture, ignore the race-card THEN my black brothers and sisters can share in the American Dream.
I did notice there weren't many 'white' faces at Whitney Houston's funeral shingdig...
"According to an analysis by the National Journal, 89 percent of voters in Arizona were White, while Blacks represented just 1 percent. Meanwhile, Hispanics made up about 8 percent of the vote."
Blacks make up only 3% of the population of Arizona.
Seems to me someone needs to look at demographics before writing an article that is not factual.
Hey afro, you forgot to mention the % of black to white population to start with.
Blacks have voted for Democrats since the 1960's.
How have they benefited?
They must live in paradise with that kind of loyalty!
They wouldn't vote for democrats in vast majorities if it resulted in poverty violent neighborhoods and crap schools would they?
re: Show up in the community prepared to have meaningful discussions about issues that actually matter to [Blacks] like job creation, in way that makes sense.
Oh, because only blacks have job problems? Or should they bring flash cards to explain it to us (due to stupidity)?
Idiot. What happened to Steele? Nevermind.
Fifty years of continuous lying propaganda tends to have that kind of effect on any demographic.
When one isn't aware of one's options, you tend to keep doing what you're doing, even if the consequences of doing so are negative.
I don't think we need to resort to bribery or anything, just good old fashioned reaching out. Just like Christianity used to do when it was tryinh to convert the pagans.
That's because they're all on the democrat plantation. Any time we have a prominent black person speaking out on behalf of conservative ideas, they are demonized and Uncle Tom'd by the democrats.
They should read the book; Uncle Tom was the GOOD GUY!
The Race Card expired on 1/20/09; it is non-renewable.
To the black racists, these gentlemen are not "black".
To the black racists, you have to be liberal and lock-step with the RATS in order to be black.
What isn't missing in the GOP primary are TAXPAYERS. Any color. Any age. Any sex. Any height.
Blacks would go to the GOP if the GOP chastized the like of Obama to stay away from Democrate liberal nonsense.
But the silence of the GOP RINOs on Zero's misdeeds is blatant quiet racism.
There isn't a tougher nut to crack then this quandary/enigma.
MSM makes it easy for any black person to NOT look at what Obama is doing but rather what he is saying and to believe it 100% to be factual. It is amazing. It is a fact that the real "racialists" are blacks who do NOT look at what his policies are but rather only that he is "black". Fact is, he is not "American black", and he is only 50% at that. His "blackness" is non-colonial, not from slavery ancestory. Not that Soros/Ayers/Dorn and the other Manchurian Candidate folks did that on purpose.
At very least, republicans in the senate, house, Reince or any other in high places can at least point out such policies or edicts or dictates have made blacks' lives in the US worse, and, to start drumming his policies, not what he is saying, OVERTLY to blacks in the U.S. Heck, Romney, Santorum, and Ginchrich are all scared to do this. The MSM is winning this battle, and they are Obama's useful idiots.
I know what I am talking about - let's just say my family situation has educated me well on this.

UNC Charlotte is on YouTube
University Wins NSF Grant for Big Data Research
The National Science Foundation has awarded a $4 million grant to UNC Charlotte researchers to develop a multidisciplinary research program called Virtual Information Fabric Infrastructure (VIFI) that will create new ways to manage, use and share Big Data and analytic results.
Ashit Talukder, director of the Charlotte Data Visualization Center and the Bank of America Endowed Chair in Information Technology in the College of Computing and Informatics, is the principal investigator for the grant. The award was made under the NSF-CISE/ACI-Data Infrastructure Building Blocks (DIBBS) solicitation.
"Under this large-scale research program, a novel Virtual Information Fabric Infrastructure (VIFI) will be created, allowing scientists to search, access, manipulate and evaluate fragmented, distributed data in the information 'fabric' (the infrastructure to facilitate data sharing) without directly accessing or moving large amounts of data," said Talukder.
UI Co-Sponsoring Symposium on Charlotte Migration
Many parts of the Carolinas, including the Charlotte region, are seeing a huge influx of newcomers. Who's moving in and from where? How are they reshaping decades-old demographic patterns?
The UNC Charlotte Urban Institute is joining several other local sponsors to offer a lunchtime symposium on Wednesday, Oct. 26, that will examine Charlotte-area population migration. Rebecca Tippett, director of demography, the Carolina Population Center at UNC Chapel Hill, will be the key presenter. She regularly writes and presents about the impact of demographic and social trends in North Carolina.
The event begins at 11:30 AM at UNC Charlotte Center City and includes lunch. Cost is $15 for those registering by Friday, Oct. 14, and $20 for later registrations.

Femicide and Impunity: A humanitarian crisis in Central America, and a growing problem worldwide
- Details
- Published on Tuesday, 16 December 2014 00:10
El Salvador has had the highest rate of femicide in the world, with 2, 250 femicides between 2010 and 2013. Guatemala has the third and Honduras the seventh highest rate of femicides. In Guatemala, only 2% of murdered women's cases were investigated in 2013 and likewise in Honduras less than 2% were investigated. For cases that somehow make it to court in Guatemala, 90% of defendants are not convicted. It is much the same in El Salvador. In 2014 alone, between January and October, over 300 bodies of young women between the ages of 12 and 18 years old have been found in unmarked common graves.

La Via Campesina: Day of Action Against Violence Towards Women
- Details
- Published on Tuesday, 25 November 2014 17:19
La Via Campesina Press Release
On this International Day of Action Against Violence Towards Women, La Via Campesina is again denouncing the structural violence that women have to confront each day and that has been systematically silenced, made to appear natural, and rendered invisible by patriarchal capitalist society.
In 2008, in its Vth Conference, La Via Campesina launched the Global Campaign to End Violence Towards Women, both as an urgent appeal for a social, cultural, and political change in peoples, in communities, and in organisations, and as a challenge to society as a whole to effect a cultural transformation in order to overcome the relations of inequality between men and women.
Violence and oppression against women existed in pre-capitalist societies, but it is since the onset of capitalism that violence in all its forms – political, economic, physical, and pyschological – has intensified. Today, violence against women is found among all social classes, generations, and sexual orientations, affecting both urban women and rural women.
Mozambique: Women prevented from fetching firewood and other forest products in Nacala Corridor
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 30 July 2014 16:17
Evidence of the effects of land grabbing in the region, where ProSavana is being implemented, on the peasants particularly women is beginning to show. In Nampula province, women are being prevented from passing in the areas where the foreign companies operate. They cannot access the firewood or gather wild foods. This reality was reported during a discussion panel on "Structural challenges to development of peasant agriculture in Mozambique: peoples' demands in regard to ProSavana", at the Second Triangular Conference of the Peoples, held on 24 July 2014, in Maputo.
In this panel, many reports were made on the violation of the access rights to land of women in particular. In rural areas, women are the ones who work the land to provide for their families and fetch firewood to cook.

March 8th is considered as a day of feminist struggle in the entire world. Thousands of women from all around the globe mobilize around this day to continue fighting for advances on equality and justice, and unfortunately in some cases to combat setbacks.
On this special Real World Radio edition, we gathered the voices of rural and urban activists from different parts of the world, who told us about their mobilizations and actions around this fundamental day of popular struggles, and about their main demands and local/regional banners in the context of these struggles. Leaders of Via Campesina and the World March of Women (WMW) from the Middle East, Europe, Africa, Latin America and Asia talked about the mobilizations around March 8 in their countries and regions.

"I thought today's practice was good. This week's theme has been 'it's all about us.' It's not about who we're playing. We have to improve, and we did improve from week one to week two. And that's the key to being a really good team is to continue to improve as we go into week three."
(On whether the team is due for a breakout game?)
--"I don't know. We just want to improve and make sure as we look at individually and at the three phases of the game and as a team that we are getting better. If we do that, then those things will happen."
(On whether any decisions have been made as to the left guard starter)
--"No. We'll probably play a couple guys and see how it works."
(On whether Abe Markowitz will be one of those guys)
--"He may be. Yeah. We anticipate him going Saturday."
(On what Drew McAllister has done to get himself gametime in week three)
--"Combination of two things: number one, Drew has done a great job and made some plays for us and he is completely healthy now. And then number two, staying with the theme we are trying to get better at, which is playing more players. So this is week three and so hopefully some guys that have gotten in a little bit will get more reps and some guys that haven't gotten in there will get in there."
(On whether Robert Woods' 100+ yard day against Utah was one of the quieter 100+ yard games Kiffin has seen)
--"I thought Robert played really well in the game. Really just missed one deep ball that if he would have run the route a little bit different was going to be open and could have been a lot more explosive game. It would have been another 50-yard touchdown catch. He's doing really well, and as you said, does kind of get lost in there after setting the school record in week one. But if a guy can catch eight passes for over 100 yards every week, we'll take it."
(On what the Trojan Way means)
--"Well it's really doing things right. It's not easy. It's not easy for a kid 18 to 21 years old to do things right on and off the field. They all come here and want to play football and want to do a good job out here but we have very high standards in the classroom and outside of the field. So we want guys representing the university in a first class manner and I think guys are doing that for the most part."
(On the team's attitude toward being more introspective rather than looking at Syracuse)
"I think it's good. We spent some extra time on some little details of things, the kind of things you would do in camp format to make sure we're not overlooking things because we do have some weaknesses through two weeks. We do have to improve on those and not just feel good because we're 2-0."
(On whether Kiffin has met with Armond Armstead or his family yet?)
(On when Kiffin expects that meeting will take place)
--"I anticipate that being at some point before next week."

Our Cambodia Discovery trips score an average of 4.69 out of 5 based on 171 reviews in the last year.
Cambodia Discovery , September 2016
Was an excellent trip for me, unlike the other tours/trips taken by me in the past. I have toured mostly cities, this is the first time I travelled into rural Cambodia and I enjoyed every minute of it especially cycling into the villages and doing the Flight of Gibbon zip line were one of my best moments on this trip.

Governor Brown Agrees Shaken-Baby Syndrome Is Bogus, Takes Mercy on L.A. Grandma
When Shirley Ree Smith was convicted of killing her grandson in a Van Nuys apartment in 1997, "shaken-baby syndrome" was all the rage.
If a baby showed signs of bleeding in the brain, the "shaken" diagnosis was a go-to -- and the last person to have been in the same room with the baby was the prime suspect.
But a few years later, around the turn of the century, scientists began to question...
... if a shaking motion can really burst something in the brain. Dr. John Plunkett wrote an extensive paper on what he considered to be an urban legend, arguing that shaken-baby symptoms "might not immediately follow the injury, and that there were other, accidental sources for one of the 'classic' signs of SBS."

Premium Level - NBA Preseason Basketball: Lakers v Sacramento Kings

By 2006, Plunkett's theories had gained enough steam that the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned Smith's conviction, citing insufficient evidence that the grandma had killed her grandson. After a decade behind bars, she was allowed to go free.
However, proving that the syndrome is still very widely accepted (including by the American Academy of Pediatrics), a U. S. Supreme Court judge ordered she return to jail late last year.
That's where Governor Jerry Brown stepped in -- he commuted her sentence for good today, saying she won't have to go back to jail.
"From my review of the information before me, including materials from the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office, it is clear that significant doubts surround Ms. Smith's conviction," says Brown in a statement.
That could include new findings that the L.A. County Coroner's Office revealed last month, including "the complete absence of bodily trauma, such as face trauma, grab marks, bruises, rib fractures or neck trauma" in Smith's seven-week-old grandson.
And it surely hasn't hurt that Smith's supporters have been pressuring the governor via online petitions, Facebook activism, etc.
PBS spoke with Smith last month about what it's like to "live in legal limbo."
Watch "It's a Good Thing" on PBS. See more from FRONTLINE.
Watch "Finally Justice Was Served" on PBS. See more from FRONTLINE.
Watch "Free, But Not Really Free" on PBS. See more from FRONTLINE.
Here's what happened on the night of the "crime," according to City News Service:
Smith and her daughter, Tomeka, were staying at Tomeka's sister's apartment, along with Tomeka's two older children. [Etzel Glass, the baby,] was put on a sofa to sleep, and his siblings and grandmother slept in the same room.
According to testimony at the trial, Smith awoke to find Etzel on the floor. She reportedly rocked him back to sleep and placed him on the couch.
About two hours later, Smith awoke again and found that Etzel had thrown up and had blood coming out of one nostril, and that he was unresponsive, according to the testimony.
That was enough to convict Smith of second-degree murder.
But thanks to the governor, her nightmare is finally over. Unlike Schwarzenegger, who used his commuting powers to grant favors to political pals, Brown has done a solid for Smith -- and for science -- by erring on the skeptical side of "shaken-baby."

The Barry Goldwater Scholarship is "widely considered to be the most prestigious award bestowed on undergraduates studying the sciences and engineering," according to a news release from the university. Byrd received $7,500.
Byrd, of Williamsburg, conducts research at Jefferson Lab, an opportunity she said drew her to CNU. She also maintains a 4.0 GPA and is a member of the women's tennis team and the President's Leadership Program.
Byrd said she applied to appease her professors, not expecting to be selected.

Oh honey don't let it bring you down. You are beautiful no matter your size :) you should focus on eating healthy and getting exercise to keep the weight gain from being outta control. Just a 30 min walk a day will help you feel much better. But your preggers you should expect to gain some just watch what is going in. Depression is the worst, mine got so bad after #3 i had to stop BFing to get on the med i need to make me sane. And after about two years i felt better and i weaned off them. But the meds can cause problems too. Dont let it get to you. But you need to get out, that is the biggest help with depression. Get out in the sun, have an outting with some girlfriends, even if its just window shopping your out, your walking. All that will make a big difference with how you feel. Get yourself all beautiful and gussied up and have a date night with your love. But don't let the depression get to you, I may not be able to see you, but your beautiful no matter what :) Good luck and have a healthy baby :)

Sleep-disordered breathing is associated with an increased risk of cancer mortality, according to a study.
Although previous studies have associated SDB with increased risks of hypertension, cardiovascular disease, depression and early death, this study is the first in humans to link the condition with a higher rate of cancer mortality, according to the researchers.
F. Javier Nieto, MD, PhD, MPH, the studys lead author and the chairman of the Department of Population Health Sciences at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, said the study showed a nearly fivefold higher incidence of cancer deaths in patients with severe SDB compared with those without the disorder. The result echoes previous findings in animal studies.
"We are a long way from proving that sleep apnea causes cancer or contributes to its growth," Nieto said in a news release. "But animal studies have shown that the intermittent hypoxia that characterizes sleep apnea promotes angiogenesis and tumor growth. Our results suggest that SDB is also associated with an increased risk of cancer mortality in humans."
The researchers examined 22-year mortality data on 1,522 subjects from the Wisconsin Sleep Cohort, a longitudinal, community-based epidemiology study of sleep apnea and other sleep problems.
After adjustment for age, sex, body mass index and smoking, the researchers found that both all-cause and cancer mortality were associated with the presence and severity of SDB in a dose-response fashion. People with severe SDB died of cancer at a rate 4.8 times higher than people with no sleep breathing problems.
These associations were similar after excluding the 126 subjects who had used continuous positive airway pressure, and were stronger among non-obese subjects than obese subjects, the researchers said.
"In our large population-based sample, SDB was associated with an elevated risk of cancer mortality," Nieto said. "Additional studies are needed to replicate these results. If the relationship between SDB and cancer mortality is validated in further studies, the diagnosis and treatment of SDB in patients with cancer might be indicated to prolong survival."
The study was presented May 20 in San Francisco at the American Thoracic Societys 2012 international conference, and is scheduled for publication in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Residence Foch Paris
Foch: Excellently owned, managed and operated!! Pro's (and cons)
Here are the ups and things to consider when staying at Residence Foch.
I stayed here with my husband and two children. It was absolutely delightful. It has a one star rating on trip advisor- and it must be a mistake. It is luxurious and just wonderful. It is owned, managed and operated by one woman(with some help at the desk sometimes)- and she is delightful and was waiting for us when we arrived. She wanted to make sure everything was perfect- and even poured our coffee (and hot cocoa) in the morning!! It is so quaint and comfy. It felt more like a bed and breakfast than a hotel!!!
CHILDREN- the room we were in had an adjoining room with a curtain, so it was almost like two rooms- my daughter loved it!! We also had a "pack and play" for a crib that the baby seemed comfortable and safe in. The owner was wonderful with the children!! Our baby just loved her!
LUXURY- the decor., comfy beds(although two single beds make a double)TV, armoire, closet, shower/bath, hairdryer, more than ample shampoo soap.., pens/paper, EVERYTHING in the room was wonderful, including the spacious bathroom. The hotel lobby is also comfy and a great bar and breakfast area- including tables outside on the patio(altough too cold when we were there).
OTHER PERKS: very quiet, friendly and accomadating owner(delightful and knows flawless english)- she was also terrific with the children and very upbeat and helpful.
THINGS TO CONSIDER(may be pro's or cons for you):
the only thing I can imagine someone wouldn't think was absolutely perfect is the location. It is very quaint and in a great, upsacale area- but it seemed to be residential and a little bit of a walk to Champs E, and to the metro- although completely manageable (Even with a child and infant). The location gave us a good feel for what it might be like to live there- and there was a little park not too far away with children- which you certainly wont find in other parts of Paris. It was a fun and enjoyable walk when we headed out of the hotel. It just isn't next door to the Louvre, the tower or Notre Dame. Some might think the location is an asset and others might feel it is too far out. It depends what you are looking for. There are pro's and con's.
We will definently be returning to Residence Foch. Thank you for a wonderful and delightful stay!!!
Tourism Consultant Review
This hotel truly lives up to it's image, and nothing is pretentious. The website information is accurate and so too are the photos. Breakfast is charmingly french with a very good variety. The staff are truly customer service oriented insofar as they are all friendly and polite and can anticipate your every request before you even utter it.
Rue Marbeau is a quiet street, no traffic noises, a short walk from the Porte Maillot and the airport shittle bus which is VERY convenient, otherwise you will be heaving your luggage up and down the steps of the Paris metro.
There are several choices of cuisine to choose from close to the hotel. Chose from French haute cuisine to Thai and Italian food, or you may opt for one of the wonderful Brasseries. I can assure you that you will not starve.
The rooms are very clean, and nicely furnished, everything works in the rooms, including the heating and the silent split system a/c units. The rooms I may add, are a wee bit larger than the typical french rooms, but please do not expect American sizes nor bring exceptionally bulky suitcases. The bathrooms are comfortable for any average sized person to manouvre, and good design use was made of the space, thus making it appear a bit larger than the average sized French hotel bathroom. I can assure that you will not be hitting your head or shoulders against any walls in this bathroom, unless you are over 6 ft. or much larger than average.
All in all this hotel delivers, and I will not hesitate in recommdnding it to anyone. The staff speak English, and as I mentioned earlier, they are truly exceptionally friendly, approachable and experienced and this is what makes for a very good experience in a hotel in addition to the accommodation.
By the way, if you should fall ill, please check with reception first, there is a first aid kit, for minor stomach upsets, flu and headaches, and if you should really be ill, they will certainly provide assistance to get you the help needed immediately.
Finally, I must comment on the fact that you do not have to worry about missing personal items from your room by housekeeping staff. Then again that has been my personal expereince to date.
Wonderful Paris hideaway
Feb 18th - 21st 2005:
My husband and I have just returned from a citybreak in Paris and we found this hotel through an online travel company. It is in a wonderful area of Paris - away from the hustle and bustle but still within walking distance of the Arc de Triomph and the Champs Elysees. The nearest metro is Port Maillot and within 10 mins you can be at the Louvre or the Eiffel Tower. The hotel is in a typical Parisisen building - only 2 rooms wide but 6 floors high and beautifully thought out.
The rooms are wonderfully decorated and the breakfast provided in the morning was lovely ( cereal / yogurts / pastries / fruit salad / eggs / tea / coffee and fresh fruit juice .
All the members of the reception staff were very friendly and welcoming and I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to anyone.
Inviting Paris hotel
It was my first trip to Europe and I couldn't have felt more comfortable at this hotel. I traveled to Paris for business and was very nervous as I spoke very little (none really) french and was unsure of what my experience would be. The staff greeted me with a smile and a very energetic "Bon jour!" (at 8am mind you) and I immediately felt at ease. The Arc de Triomphe and Champs Elysees are very close and will lead you to many great sites. Hotel is located in a very quiet, residential neighborhood. The rooms are very accomodating and clean and are equipped with wireless internet. And again, every member of the staff was incredibly kind and helpful during every encounter.
Friendly, beautifully decorated and brilliantly eqipped rooms. Our room had a small stone balcony with views of the Eiffel Tower! My Dad booked this hotel for a family holiday but when I go back to Paris with my boyfriend I will definitely be staying here again. It's in a gorgeous, very exclusive residential area and about 3 minutes work from the metro. Possibly the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in.
Wounderful service
I stayed at hotel Resicence Foch in June 2004. The moment I walked into the lobby I was greeted like a family member. What is impressive is that the staff is very friendly, and honest. This was no hypocritical wellcome. I stayed at the hotel 8 nights and only have praise for the staff. Quiet, clean and comfortable. Jose G. Aguilar
Christmas 2001
Charming staff, comfortable room, quiet area. The hotel is perfect if you are in Paris to sight-see and want the room to recover. Try breakfast to re-energize.
Very Enjoyable
I feel duty bound to tell you all what an exceptionally pleasent hotel this was. Staff were all very friendly, nice area, quiet and gentle and the rooms are done to a hugh standard. It has to be said one of the influences on my granting this hotel the full five is because I got such a great deal, however regardless of cost I give this hotel much regard and recommend it to absolutely everyone.
This won't disappoint
A lovely hotel, in an up-market and quiet part of Paris. 20 mins to walk and Metro to most of central Paris. Recently decorated (just had a water leak when we were there, so entrance hall was being repainted).
Our room was air-conditioned (a real bonus), very clean, good bathroom, and comfortable. Staff friendly, and breakfast good. Very good value for money, and the only fault we found was that we needed to buy our own small pot of coffee for the room. Would certainly recommend this to friends.
Great French Hotel
The Hotel Foch is a wonderful "real" French hotel. The atmosphere is terrific and it is a fairly quiet area of town. The staff are ultra-friendly and the rooms are very comfortable and clean. We felt like we were staying in someone's home while there and enjoyed listening to the locals stroll along the tree lined street below our room.

How to: Publish Web Application Projects
By publishing a Web application project, Visual Studio compiles the files of a Web application into a single assembly and then copies the compiled assembly to a specified location. ASP.NET Web application projects share the same configuration settings and behavior as standard Visual Studio 2005 class-library projects. You can publish the Web application to a local or shared folder, to an FTP site, or to a Web site that you access by using a URL.
The Publish Web dialog box, which is located on the Visual Studio Build menu, enables you to build and publish Web applications. Additionally, you can choose to remove source code from the site. This provides a measure of protection for your intellectual property and makes it more difficult for others to access the source code of your site. For information about what happens to your files during precompilation, see File Handling During ASP.NET Precompilation.
The Publish Web dialog box only applies to projects created by using the ASP.NET Web Application template.
Before publishing your Web application, check the configuration of your original site and note the following:
Any settings that must exist at the remote location. Specifically, review settings such as connection strings, membership settings, and other security settings and make sure that that these settings are appropriate for your production environment.
Any settings that must be changed on the published Web site. For example, you might want to disable debugging, tracing, and custom errors after you publish your Web site.
Because configuration settings are inherited, you might need to examine multiple files to find all the applicable settings. Configuration settings can be located in the Machine.config file or the root Web.config file in the SystemRoot\Microsoft.NET\Framework\version\CONFIG directory, in addition to in any Web.config files in your application. If you do not have permission to view the root configuration files, you can output a file that contains a complete list of configuration settings for your Web site, formatted as a standard configuration file, by using the code example in How to: View Inherited and Local Configuration Settings Programmatically. For definitions of configuration settings, see General Configuration Settings (ASP.NET) and ASP.NET Configuration Settings.
To complete the following procedure, you must have both Create and Write permissions in the target location.
To publish a Web application project
On the Build menu, click the Publish ProjectName option.
In the Publish Web dialog box, click the ellipsis button (…) to browse to the location to which you want to publish the Web application project.
Select either the Replace matching files with local copies check box or the Delete all existing files prior to publish check box.
Select how you want to copy the Web application project files to the new location: Only files needed to run this application, All project files, or All files in the source project folder. Also, you can include files from the App_Data folder by selecting the related check box.
Click OK to publish your Web application project.
In the task bar, Publish succeeded displays when publishing is completed.
Make any configuration changes that are required for your Web application at the target location. For more information, see How to: Configure Published Web Sites.
To help increase security, you might want to encrypt specific configuration settings. For more information, see Encrypting Configuration Information Using Protected Configuration.

UPDATE: Compass Point Downgrades H&R Block to Neutral on Risk/Reward
Compass Point reduced its rating on H&R Block (NYSE: HRB) from Buy to Neutral but raised its price target from $18.50 to $19.50.
Compass Point noted, "Fundamentally, we believe the business has stabilized and see several potential tailwinds that should bolster earnings over the next several years. We continue to see value in the company, and are increasing our price target $1 to $19.50 as a result. That said, while we believe there is upside in the stock, the odds of a choppy tax season, the unknown resolution of the bank, and the potential for put-back headlines to re-emerge keep us from continuing to recommend shares at this level."
H&R Block closed at $18.80 on Tuesday.
