Chair's Corner
Michel Jarraud is the Secretary-General of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and has been the Chair of UN-Water since 2012. He was nominated among the UN Executive Heads by the Secretary General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon for an initial term of two years. On the demand of the Secretary General, Mr. Jarraud has accepted to serve for a second term as the Chair of UN-Water, until the end of 2015.
"Water, as highlighted in the outcome document of the Rio+20 Summit, "is at the core of sustainable development as it is closely linked to a number of key global challenges." The very cross-cutting nature of water calls for close cooperation and synergies between multiple stakeholders and across various sectors and administrative boundaries, at both national and international levels. UN-Water stands ready to facilitate the discussions on all issues related to water."
Michel Jarraud, 2013

From the foot soldiers who slit throats to Pol Pot's right-hand man, the notorious Brother Number Two, Sambath and co-director Rob Lemkin record shocking testimony never before seen or heard, in Enemies of the People.
Directed by Thet Sambath and Rob Lemkin
Winner of more than 20 awards, including a special Sundance Jury Prize.

Plans to open a new charter school for grades 9-12 in Lake Charles have been approved, according to a news release issued by the Lake Charles Charter Academy Foundation Inc. The school, which will house 1,200 students, was approved by the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education.
Lake Charles Charter Academy Foundation Board of Trustees plan to open for ninth-grade students in fall 2014 with 10th, 11th and 12th grades being added afterward. A location for the school has not yet been selected.
"We are so grateful that students who have successfully completed their K-8 education at our schools will have the opportunity for a natural progression to the same high quality level of education to which they have become accustomed," said Judge Gene Thibodeaux, president of the Lake Charles Charter Foundation Inc. in a statement issued Friday. "We look forward to continuing the great work we have accomplished that encourages high performance throughout the entire school experience."
The board of trustees has chosen a site on the corner of Ham Reid Road and Weaver Road for a new Southwest Louisiana Charter Academy facility. Construction of the facility is planned for the first quarter for 2013 with completion set for the fall. A temporary facility currently hosts classes for students. Grades K-6 are currently enrolled in the Southwest Louisiana Charter Academy and seventh and eighth grades will be added to enrollment in the following years.
"We are so pleased to work with our board to bring another high quality school to Lake Charles," said Richard Page, vice president of development for Charter Schools USA in a news release issued Friday. "Our early successes have proven that every child can learn and when given the right educational environment, students will thrive."

Sara Czyzewicz earned a computer science degree at Rhode Island College and a new-media certificate from imedia, proved her Web design skills at the Westin Providence and a local firm — and then promptly left the state, as have thousands of ambitious 20-somethings have before her.
She worked for the ad agency Crispin Porter & Bogusky in Miami, then in Boulder, Colorado, where she thrived on the vibrant tech entrepreneurship culture. In April, she co-founded a startup, Weavemet, to develop a social networking tool called DandyID.
Almost immediately, there was an acquisition offer on the table, and then a cash infusion that will allow the firm to employ five or six people through next summer. But here's the twist: DandyID won't be based in Boulder. It's moved to Providence.
"There is a whole new level of energy here that doesn't exist in a lot of other places," Czyzewicz says. "Boulder seems a little more geared toward technology entrepreneurs and business, whereas Rhode Island also has that artistic, design, creative side." She adds, "You are who you hang around with." In Providence, "people feed off one another's energy, and that has helped us tremendously."
DandyID is the kind of startup that excites local techies and economic development leaders alike: young people on the cutting edge of technology and social trends, with an idea likely to make it big, and a commitment to grow in Rhode Island.
Czyzewicz, a Pawtucket native, is part of a growing wave. In the last few years, a slew of new technology firms have emerged here, from Web and mobile application designers, to biomedical informatics and engineering experts, to military contractors, to companies that leverage IT to more efficiently sell insurance, run wellness programs, and more.
This, many believe, is the future of Rhode Island, and what Saul Kaplan, the head of the state Economic Development Corporation until last December, envisioned: a vibrant knowledge-based economy fueled by startups, good-paying jobs, academic spin-offs and public-private collaborations.
But Kaplan is out, and since he stepped down, some have suggested that he was ineffectual at the EDC, too caught up in blue-sky ideas to grasp what the state needs today.
His interim replacement, Michael Saul, is a finance expert whose focus at the EDC has been, by his own description, "the more traditional" side of the economy. And while no one has said that technology and innovation will be dropped as EDC priorities, Governor Donald L. Carcieri has said this an opportunity to "take a look" at the state's economic strategy.
None of this should come as a surprise, given the depth of Rhode Island's recession, with unemployment at 10 percent and even such onetime stars as Fidelity Investments and American Power Conversion having cut jobs.
To revitalize the economy, the state will likely need to build on multiple sectors — strengths such as health-care, higher education, arts and hospitality, as well as on weakening, but still-important areas, including manufacturing. And it will have to address serious problems with housing, workforce preparedness, and growing poverty.

text: So I just finished installing my Dynomax Cat back exhaust system today and it seems a little too loud for what I thought it was going to be. I wanted something that would sound throaty and strong and not be too loud so I got the super turbo muffler as everything I have heard about it is that it is one of the quietest performance mufflers around. It is incredibly loud and makes backfiring noises and I am not very happy with it. Has anybody else tried one of these out before? My Suburban had custom duals with a Flowmaster (don't know what kind) and it was not anywhere nearly as obnoxious as this one. Do they need to break in to quiet down or something?

|Great buy!
User: Dan M, Jan 17, 2012
|Bought this for my wifes 9930 and she loves it! It really looks quite awesome. The rubberized case keeps it from sliding around on smooth surfaces. Its thick enough to protect the phone without being too bulky. The pictures actually do pretty good justice. If you like how it looks in the pictures, you will probably like it on your phone. Very reasonably priced case.
|Love it but a bit bulky
User: Tram B, Jun 15, 2012
|I love this case. The only thing that would have been a 5 star rating if it was slimmer/thinner. Its bulky when I put in my pant pocket.
|You get what you pay for
User: Jerry G, Feb 29, 2012
At first glance, i loved this case. i love the sleek design, it added protection, but whilst keeping the nice design and feel i already loved about my Bold. However after using if for about a week, i started noticing some major cons.
The case is rasied around the lock button, making it almost impossible to press, however i feel this is a problem with alot of cases for the blackberrys with the top lock button. Then i started noticing more serious problems. when on speaker phone, i could barely hear anything, i noticed this was due to the case pressing against the speaker on the back bottom of my bold. When taking pictures, i noticed a ghost like blur in the bottom of all the pictures. Turns out the hole in the case for the camera is just not big enough, in all pictures i could see the clear plastic case in the bottom. Using my phone as my only camera, this was a major con. Overall, i never could get the case to seat properly, it always would hang off one side or the other, which detracts quite a bit from its sleek design.
Overall, great case design, looks awesome, but causes major loss of camera, and speaker phone functionality. As well as it never properly seating, taking away from its sleek design. A good purchase for only 10 dollars, but i wouldnt pay more. With the mobi hex case, you simply get what you pay for.

text: hello I'm new here but I have read plenty of forums about starting out on making a boba fett wearable costume. With my curent situation, I would be purchasing and piecing my costume together. I was at star wars celebration 5 and saw the booth with the busts for boba and jango which I thought were amazing. As far as painting goes, I have some experience with body paints in an airbrush and am willing to try to paint my own items as well. If I can get any help with getting the peices, that would be greatly appreciatted. As far as where I'm gonna start, it kinda depends on price of the items needed for the costume itself. Oh, and one thing that I don't know if it makes too much of a differance, I'm 6ft 3in so I was wondering if that woud make it tougher to find things. One of the biggest questions that I have is for people such as boba maker, do I google search them or do I have to go through another area? Thank you to everyone that replies!

The bill was a good one but died in last years session. You can read it and ask your reps to bring it back to life. Don't just ask their point of view, tell them you want them to vote FOR this bill. Here's the link to the dead one.
One additional note, when you write a real postal letter, request a written reply. You can start with the reps that sponsored the original.
Signing an on-line petition is fine but direct contact to the people we elect to represent us is far better. There were other good bills that died too, such as carry in restaurants that serve alcohol.
edit: here's a link for the petition, your link didn't work.

A medium sized town in Union County New Jersey. It was oringinally named Crane's Ford after the Crane family forded a river. The movie Guess Who was filmed here, as were many episodes of Nickelodeon's Pete and Pete. It can be accessed easily from exits 135, 136, and 137 on the parkway. It's high school is notorious for flagrant and excessive drug and alcohol use. It is nationally recognized with the Tree city USA award, honoring both a specific tree at Lincoln Park and the tree-lined streets. Some also believe this is a reference to the previously suggested drug use. It is home to over six miles of bicycle trails and is home to an historic house that was a stop on the underground railroad. Notable attractions in the town are the Town Washtub, where teens can be seen spinning around in the drying machines; The Rustic Mill, an overpriced diner; and the clock, the world's largest four-sided Rolex (The number 4 is represented IIII instead of IV). The town is home to 3 Dunkin' Donuts locations, 2 krauzers convienence stores, and an absurd amount of nail and hair salons and pizza parlors.

A small northern town in Union County that is divided by North and South sides, North being the "rich side" and South being the "poorer side". Teens attend Cranford High School that is overpopulated with every sterotype of teen. From class clowns, jokes, preps, nerds and goths Cranford is still known for their excessive partying and drug use. Major morning hot spot, Bagel America, is the home to many teens after a rough night and a rougher morning with a hang over accompianed by a bagel and some friends. Cranford cops are always out looking for someone even Jay-Walking. Cranford is also known for their baseball and volleyball teams. All around though, soccer is forced upon Cranford children at age 4. Cranford is a gossipy town that is growing on the downfall.

It is a small town in New Jersey. It is known for its excessive drug and alcohol abuse. The number of drug and alcohol users is rapidly increasing. It might not be suppected as a bad town because of its historic sites. Like many towns, Cranford's social status is divided by the traintracks that pass through it. The north side be the richer, and the south side being the poorer. Mohawk park is on the south side of Cranford. It is believed that at night there are satanic rituals and supernatural events. Also, a dead body was found in the river of Mohawk Park. One of the most popular hang outs is the imfamous clock. Cranford is a corrupt town with corupt cops. The town of Cranford is becoming worse and worse.

Russia says thanks, but no thanks; Cyprus goes into panic mode
posted at 10:41 am on March 22, 2013 by Erika Johnsen
In the wake of declining to raid the country's private bank accounts as part of the terms of a proffered bailout package from the EU and IMF, Cyprus was hoping they might be able to entice Russia to work out an alternative rescue plan for them, partially in exchange for some kind of claim on Cyprus's gas reserves.
So much for that plan.
Russian gas giant Gazprom and oil company Rosneft did not display any interest in Cyprus' hydrocarbons deposit offer to Russia, an Energy Ministry source told journalists. …
Another problem is Cyprus' territorial disputes with Turkey, he added.
Asked to assess the accuracy of the estimates and proposals prepared by Cyprus, the source said that "they [Cypriots] invited us to take part in a tender on a [hydrocarbon] deposit there, but a seismic survey has not been completed yet, and it is unclear what kind of deposit they have. It should be analyzed more profoundly in the future. Gazprom and Rosneft are not interested in these proposals."
Which means that it's up to Cyprus to come up with some kind of offer to convince the EU to extend their aid, and they only have until Monday to do it — the European Central Bank has already said they'll cut funds to Cypriot banks after that without a viable plan. Officials are now scrambling to work something out, because otherwise, their financial system is looking at a likely collapse:
In Nicosia, the country's biggest bank urged politicians to make haste and cut a deal with their EU partners as parliament considered proposals to nationalize pension funds, pool state assets and split the country's second-largest bank in a desperate effort to satisfy those exasperated European allies. …
Elsewhere, depositors, who have been besieging bank cash machines all week, queued again to withdraw what they could. …
New bills submitted to the Cypriot parliament included a "solidarity fund" to bundle state assets, including future gas revenues and nationalized semi-state pension funds, as the basis for an emergency bond issue.
JP Morgan likened it to "a national fire sale", and euro zone paymaster Germany indicated it opposed the nationalization of pension funds. …
They also quoted Merkel as saying: "There is no way we can accept that", and "I hope it does not come to a crash".
That escalated quickly. Whatever they come up with, the euro zone ministers have so far been decidedly unimpressed, and a one-off "tax" on bank deposits still isn't off the table — and I wonder if it won't get increasingly attractive as desperation builds.

Vietnam has the remarkable record for a developing country of achieving the first of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) - halving poverty over the period 1990-2015 - more than a decade in advance. According to the most recent progress report published in 2005, the percentage of households below the poverty line (assessed as the cost of adequate food plus non-food essentials) fell from 58% in 1993 to less than 24% in 2004, whilst extreme poverty (food costs alone) dropped from 25% to below 8%.
Although no formal sources of more recent date can be traced, it is generally accepted that this rate of poverty reduction has continued unchecked, at least until the end of 2007. The UK Department for International Development suggests that 3 million people moved above the poverty line in 2006 alone. Other key social indicators show similar spectacular improvement to the extent that Vietnam claims to have achieved all of the MDG targets except those for HIV/AIDS and sanitation.
Despite these successes, Vietnam remains classified as a "low income" country where poverty limits opportunities for 12 million people and a further 10 million hover just above the poverty line. The Vietnamese government's Socio-Economic Development Plan (2006-2010) is clearly focused on the MDGs – indeed under new and tougher criteria for poverty assessment, the government has set a range of 12 more demanding targets for 2010 which are known as the Vietnam Development Goals.
The most challenging component of this program is the concentration of poverty amongst Vietnam's minority ethnic groups who form about 13% of the population and who predominantly live in the remote upland and highland regions. Cut off from the country's prosperity by underdeveloped infrastructure and dependent on low yielding agriculture and forest products, more than 60% of these groups were assessed as below the poverty line in the 2004 survey. Key government services such as education tend to be below standard and NGO development programs struggle to produce sustainable results. Decentralization of project responsibility to the areas in need is often cited as the remedy.

Ask Aladeen: Grooming
The Dictator, Admiral General Aladeen, treats our readers to only the most outrageous advice in the realms of sex, dating, careers and grooming. This week, and this week only.
Every few decades, a man of such uncommon charm, sexual magnetism and unparalleled instances of documented human cruelty emerges and is immediately catapulted into full-blown pop cultural relevance. This time, it is the one and certainly only Admiral General Aladeen, gentleman dictator of the Republic of Wadiya himself. Fresh off the promotional trail for his worldwide box office hit The Dictator, follow Aladeen as he goes up against some of the strangest advice queries we've ever received and comes back with answers that are somehow even stranger.
And just because Aladeen's at the top of his game doesn't mean he's stopped counting — he says the proof is in the pillage, and we can't disagree or he'll kill us. Join the (admittedly open) ranks by adding yourself to Aladeen's Wall of Sexual Conquests now.
Question: My wife recently came home from the esthetician with a freshly bleached anus. I hadn't spent a whole lot of time really looking at it eye to eye, but her new asshole is so bright and beautiful! Thing is, it no longer really matches the rest of her bits, and I actually kind of liked her old asshole. Can you suggest any recourse for these circumstances? How do I broach the topic with her?
Answer: Well, I fear that reversal of the anus bleaching procedure is pretty much impossible, so in the interest of your wife having a uniform color with no "bright spots," the best idea is to now bleach the entire rest of her body. This is very possible; if you send her over to Wadiya, I will take her to the Fahajemaluqamejoulichamena Detention Center and dunk her in one of our human bleaching tanks — she will come back a pristine, uniform, gleaming white skeleton. It is amazing how popular this procedure is these days — I just had sex with Kim Kardashian and she told me that she is planning to bleach her asshole — or Kanye West, to use his proper name.

October 4 & 5, 2:00 PM
|General Admission: $15
Winner of the 1991 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and Best Play: 1991 Tony Awards
By America's great comic playwright, this memory play is set in a Yonkers in 1942 features another battling odd couple, this time an old woman and her 35 year old daughter. Bella, the daughter, is a retarded, affectionate and more than enough for Grandma Kurnitz to manage. As the play opens, son Eddie deposits his two young sons on the old lady's doorstep. He is in debt and needs to go on an extended sales trip to make some money. The boys must contend with Grandma, a stern, tough old lady; with Bella and her secret romance, and with Louie, her brother, who may have mob connections. Gradually, the mood deepens and darkens as the boys endure life with a family of emotionally crippled people. While the children are only temporarily exiled in Yonkers, the rest of their sad, funny family is truly lost.
"The best play Simon ever wrote." N.Y. Post.
"Broadway desperately needs a comedy, a drama, and a hit. With Lost in Yonkers, Mr. Simon has given us all three." Wall Street Journal.
"One of Simon's most impressive and funniest plays." N.Y. Daily News.
"Laughter and tears have come together in a new emotional truth. There are moments in this play when you experience a new kind of laughter for Simon, a silent laughter that doesn't explode into a "yuk" but implodes straight into your heart." Newsweek.

|General Admission: $15
Anna in the Tropics portrays the lives of cigar factory workers in Ybor City, Tampa, Florida, when a new lector, perhaps the last to ply his trade, is hired. The men and women remain divided in their loyalties as economic hardship and the pressure to abandon old traditions force the owners of the cigar factory to adopt new, progressive manufacturing methods if they wish to stay in business. As the lector reads from Anna Karenina, a novel of adultery set in nineteenth-century Russia, he casts a spell over the workers, transforming their passions and desires through the affirming power of art. That the love they seek may result in a tragic end is ordained as much by the story of the Russian noblewoman as it is by the actions of the workers themselves.

Anton Chekhov's Chayka or The Seagull (variously translated in English as The Sea Gull and The Sea-Gull) is the first play in the author's second period of writing for the theater-that of the last few years of his life-in which he penned his widely acknowledged dramatic masterpieces. With it, after a hiatus of seven years, Chekhov again returned to writing plays, and he revealed his mastery of techniques that he would exploit in his other great plays of that final period: Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters, and The Cherry Orchard. In all of them, Chekhov employs a method of "indirect action," one in which characters confront changes that result from offstage occurrences, often in a period of the characters' lives that elapses between acts. The plays also share the unique Chekhovian mood, a pervasive melancholic tone that arises from the haplessness of the characters that seem destined either to wallow in self-pity or indifference or consume themselves in frustrated passion.
In The Seagull, a work that the author himself claimed contained "five tons of love," is a play about a very human tendency to reject love that is freely given and seek it where it is withheld. Many of its characters are caught in a destructive, triangular relationship that evokes both pathos and humor. What the characters cannot successfully parry is the destructive force of time, the passage of which robs some, like Madame Arkadina, of beauty, and others, like her son Konstantine, of hope.

We've got the voicemails from Manti Te'o's fake girlfriend, and she sounds … not as fake as we thought.
Maybe there's a role for this guy in the remake of "Tootsie."
Manti Te'o knew what the real deal was but stuck to the false script anyway.
Diane O'Meara has finally chosen to speak up about the Manti Te'o girlfriend hoax.
The real-life face of fake dead girlfriend Lennay Kekua is Diane O'Meara, a "social media expert" who was oblivious to her central role in an epic online hoax.
He's the man suspected of perpetrating the elaborate "dead girlfriend hoax" of Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o. Here's what you should know about him.

[quote user="giantyankee1976"][quote user="jmike"]Did you know an average lead pencil can draw a line 35 miles long.
now that's minutia.
jmike, you are the pause that refreshes. TY.

GY--- serious stuff.... scary... I wouldn't be considering any land purchases in Hawaii, or even the west coast of US and Canada, anytime soon.

I wonder if Japan will revisit its nuke plants once they can get a handle on things and go back to normalcy. They seem to have a lot of such a small country? And worse, being in the ring of fire?
Are they not able to use any other form of energy?
I do have to give CNN some credit. They seem to be broadcasting the most on this crisis while other news stations are going to back to their normal programming.
more videos......can't remember ever seeing such totaldevastation. The tsunami a few years back was terrible but this appears to be much worse.....if thats possible

Nuke reactors blowing their containment buildings I know they have to report the news but giving death counts a few hours in .....is wrong..... first a hundred , then a thousand it appears the count is going to be in the 10s of thousands

Looks like the Japanese peoplethough were about as prepared as they could be with the warning sirens and getting to higher ground

You have wonder with their history of these events how they built those nuke plants to so close to harms way

Reviews of this property
Very Nice stay at Samira's Place. We stayed fort two Days and everything went well, was nicely clean and could be used without Limitation. Very recommended.
The apartment is small but well kept and clean. Despite the hot weather, it is still cozy inside. The details are really nice and it is well located especially to reach two main train stations: Gare de Lyon and Gare Austerlitz. There is also a self-service laundry shop a few blocks away. Please take note that there is no lift (the apartment is located on floor number 3.) in the building. Samira was really nice responding to our questions where to go and find things in Paris. We would like to stay again if we´ll have another opportunity in visiting Paris.
We had a wonderful stay in Paris.
The apartment is perfect and very cozy.
Samira is sweet and very helpful.
We will gladly come back.
Flemming & Lene, Tobias (10) and William (7 )
Samira kept us well informed of any changes and supplied plenty of information to guide us around Paris. Samira was at the apartment to meet us on our arrival , a very nice ,friendly young lady. The apartment is situated in a secure and quiet building and is a 5 minute walk to all amenities shops,metro ,bus etc. We were able to tour Paris on foot from the apartment.
The apartment is small especially the kitchen but suited our purposes. Our daughter slept on the pull out bed and said it was very comfortable as was our bed in the separate bed-room even though the mattress is placed directly on the floor. The apartment was clean and comfortable with plenty of hot water for showering.
Due to the 3 flights of stairs to climb to reach the apartment and the fact that the main bed is low to the ground I would not recommend the apartment for people with mobility issues.
There were 3 of us staying at the apartment myself my wife and our teenage daughter and we found it just about right for us ,anymore and it would be a bit of a tight fit.
For visitors like us who just want somewhere to sleep and have a snack after a day's visiting the Latin quarter and other sights in Paris Samira's apartment would be a great choice .
The apartment is small but quaint and was great to stay in and added to tour experience of visiting Paris.
It was a pretty and self-contained one-bedroom apartment with a separate living room in a nice neighborhood. We enjoyed our stay very much.
Highly recommend!
Our stay was very nice and comfortable. The flat is small but there was everything there to make us feel at home. The location is perfect, there are supermarkets all around and in some 25 minutes walking you get to Notre Dame. Otherwise the metro station is just round the corner. We look forward to coming back to Paris.
This place is small though very cosy. In every corner you find books and this highly contributes to a warm and inspiring atmosphere. The place is very clean and Samira does her best to accomodate you as good as possible. Two metro stations are in the immediate neighborhoud, an excellent Italian restaurant as neighbour and short distance to quartier Mouffetier which is an extremely nice quarter.
