DD is definitely one of those kids who wants to keep all of her toys, down to little plastic pieces of trash. For years, this has been a struggle. When she was younger, I could have DH take her somewhere and I'd declutter it. But, while that hasn't caused tears (she didn't know what I did) certain toys did get asked about sooner or later. I didn't like this method, it seemed dishonest, and admitting that I threw away something she was asking about also seemed really lousy.
When she was 4 or 5 I started trying to get her cooperation in decluttering, allowing her to choose. That didn't work well either. It didn't upset her but I'd get very little decluttered. She'd give me about 6 toys, 4 of them clearly trash anyway. (Out of hundreds, maybe thousands - we have a BAD toy clutter problem even though DH and I only buy her 2 toys a year. It's the extended family).
So on Sunday, I was going through her books and made a pile of books that she has really outgrown. I showed her the pile and gave her the chance to look through all of them again. As I feared, her first impulse was to say "I want to keep that one!" to the first one in the pile. I knew where that was going, so I said she could pick out 3 and keep them. That made her happy. She actually ended up with 4 but I was satisfied. I got to declutter a good pile and she was happy.
I told DH about how that went and asked him if he thought I could do the same with the toys - I sort them out but give her a chance to choose a few to keep. That places the emphasis not on her choosing toys to get rid of (and giving her a quota once was absolutely painful) but ones to KEEP. So we tried it. I filled a huge bin full of stuff I didn't think was worth keeping, things I didn't see her playing with anymore. Most of it so worthless I don't even plan to freecycle it though I'm one of those tree-huggers who can't bear to throw stuff away. I gave her the bin and told her to pick out 5 things to keep. She did. It went really well. She didn't challenge the premise of the exercise, didn't even challenge the number I gave her. She picked out 5 items. The last one she spent a little time at, choosing among a few possibles. But no tears. I was even prepared to be a little flexible with the numbers. I would have happily kept, say, 8 items as long as we could get rid of the box and keep her happy.
She is now really excited that her toys are organized. And I think this exercise kept our trust strong, too. She didn't have to patrol me while I went through the toys, because not even one broken plastic doll arm went into the trash that she didn't review.
Thank you for this wonderful suggestion!
I think I'm going to try this. We have the same problem with my inlaws and toys. Great idea!
Wife to LoverMan (2/3/07), mama to Lucenzo (5/28/06) unnecessarean, and Maxamus (5/3/11)
Awesome, glad it worked out so well! My 5yo is really good about things like that but not my 3yo.
Wonderful idea!
I always wonder why they don't take that approach on hoards...empty the house, clean it, and all the family to decide what should go back in!
Hmm... I don't think that would work for a hard core hoarder. I know a family that was on the TV show and the hoarder there would select everything to take back.
It might help people more on the "pack rat" part of the continuum - the ones who have clutter but not at the level of mental illness (being unable to stop hoarding despite how negatively it affects family, work, health, etc).
BTW the Great 2011 Toy Declutter Success is still ongoing - DD is still enjoying her toys more than she used to (because all similar toys are together so she can play as a set, and she can FIND them), she is voluntarily putting the toys back away when she is done, and I've noticed she has been keeping her toy house spic and span (it's kind of a tent house and there's a toy kitchen, table and chairs in there - plus dishes, toy wooden food, etc - so it can get to be quite a mess - but she's got all her stuff organized. On her own.) .
Just more on hard core hoarding - part of the problem is that hoarders don't have good decision making capability. So if you give them a piece of trash, they have a hard time deciding it's trash. They have a hard time prioritizing. So if you give them a bin of trash and ask them to pick 3 things to keep, they would shut down just as much. The hoarder I know would probably spend days making this decision. From a box of trash. And after that he'd not really feel peace about it.
Thankfully, this proves DD is a pack rat and not a hoarder! I define pack rats as people who have a harder time than average in letting things go, or who see more value in things that other people consider to be without value. But who don't let it get in the way of their relationships, lives, health, etc.
True, I understand that wouldn't work for all hoarders, but lots of the shows are dealing with people who are under a deadline so they don't get their kids taken away, their spouses don't leave them, etc. The mental illness needs to be dealt with after that initial "get it together to get the kids back" period.
Good distinction between hoarder and packrat! My grandmom is a packrat. Her house is clean, very functional, but very, very cluttered. She loves to go to flea markets and yard sales, buy all kinds of useful things she doesn't need, but regularly goes through her storage shed, bedrooms and closets, and gives things away to her family and friends she thinks they may need. She has no problem getting rid of things, but still has tons and tons of stuff. She does know where everything is that she's looking for, too.

Unpaid Chinese investors descend on offices of martial arts movie backer
By Jake Spring
SHANGHAI (Reuters) - More than 100 Chinese investors descended on the Shanghai offices of Jinlu Financial Advisors on Thursday demanding their money back from investments, including those tied to a martial arts film whose box office figures were inflated.
Investors on the scene told Reuters that the asset manager invested in movies, real estate and various other sectors and had failed to pay out on investments maturing on or after March 25. They said they had not been informed of reasons for the delayed payments.
According to the investors and Chinese media reports, those movies include Ip Man 3, whose distributor admitted last week to buying 56 million yuan ($8.66 million) in tickets to bump up sales.
The Chinese film industry has been "blighted" by cinemas and distributors cheating to inflate box office figures through accounting ploys or other tricks, such as claiming ticket sales that exceed an auditorium's capacity, state-owned Xinhua news agency said in its report on the Ip Man 3 fraud last week.
A man at Jinlu Financial Advisors who identified himself as working at the company said he wasn't authorized to comment on the matter. Other representatives of the company were unavailable to comment and calls to the financial firm's offices went unanswered.
Cao Luhua, 31, told Reuters his wealth manager called Thursday morning to say it was possible he wouldn't be able to get roughly 1 million yuan invested with Jinlu Financial Advisors back.
Cao said a friend who worked at the company had suggested he invest.
"It's my whole family's money," he said, speaking outside Jinlu's offices as dozens of angry investors came and went. Continued...

The Israeli Air Force has killed top Hamas commanders Ahmed Jabari and Raed al-Atar and Israeli news agencies are now reporting that Jabari's son also died in the strike. Jabari was the deputy commander of the armed wing of Hamas, the highest ranking official to be killed since Israel's 2008 military sweep of the Gaza Strip. Israel claimed that Jabari was a "man with a lot of blood on his hands."
Hamas stated that it is now in an indefinite state of "open war" with Israel and that no tactics were off the table in retaliating. Top Hammas commander Ismail al-Ashkar said that "the resistance's options are now open and they include suicide attacks and quality attacks in Israel cities."
The armed division of Hamas, the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, told AFP that the killings have "opened the gates of hell," and that they intend to "continue the path of resistance."
Lieutenant Colonel Stephen Warren said that Washington is closely monitoring the developments:
"We're monitoring the situation closely. We stand by our Israeli partners in their right to defend themselves against terrorism."
Today's hostilities follow an incident last week in which Hamas fired on an Israeli patrol unit, nearly killing two Israeli soldiers and seriously wounding 2 others. Over the weekend Hamas escalated rocket attacks into southern Israel to which Israel responded by pounding 20 rocket-launching pads belonging to Hamas and Islamic Jihad, causing serious damage to their long-range missile capabilities. Israeli tank fire was also reported in Gaza.
The Israeli military isn't the group of guys I would want to piss off as they're a nearly identical fighting force to that of the U.S. military – just smaller in size. But their sting is as accurate and deadly – capable of hitting targets the size of a compact car and killing it's occupants while treating the flowers on the curb to a spritz of radiator water. Hamas is in no way equipped to handle a fully engaged war with the likes of Israel.
The U.S. and Israel have openly shared military technology for 50 years, and it's been a mutually rewarding relationship, with the U.S. benefiting early on after Israel broke ties with Russia, handing the Red, White and Blue very sensitive Russian jet fighter technology which is still apparent even in today's most advanced U.S. fighter aircraft.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I recently discovered the prop txs on house are over 5 years past due and put into a receivership with the State of WA DOR, and the water at house had been turned off for 14 months. Further, we discovered she had embezzled over $50k from a church she worked at in 1999. I need to protect my parents assets and well-being, but parents are unaware of or indifferent to this situation. My father has no interest in the financial affairs, and my mother simply refers to my sisters re: any financial or household issues. Sister keeps me at a distance, has refused my offers to physically help at house, but has repeatedly requested money from me. I would like to petition to have her removed from my parent's house and eliminate her responsibility for their financial affairs.
You might want to consider contacting Adult Protective Services to let them know what you have discovered. Financial abuse of vulnerable persons is never OK. Not paying the taxes is putting their home at risk, it is amazing that it has been five years. You might want to check for yourself to be sure the property is not being sold to pay the back taxes.
Also, WA has an action a non-lawyer can file on behalf of a vulnerable person. This is similar to Domestic Violence, but you can allege there are financial issues and ask the Court to intervene and they will. If your sister is keeping you away from your folks, that is alienation, especially when it is to your parent's detriment.
Your allegations regarding the taxes and the water service are very worrisome. Hope this helps.
The forms are on the forms page at courts.wa.gov Elizabeth Powell
Using Avvo does not form an attorney client relationship.Ask a similar question
You haven't indicated under what authority your sister has acted. Is it a POA or a guardianship? If it is a POA and your parents are competent then they can revoke the power if they so choose. If they are unwilling because everything seems fine to them, you could report the matter to Adult Protective Services as elder abuse. They will investigate. Just be sure to tell them about the taxes and water. You may need to petition the court to be appointed as your parents' guardian/conservator. If your sister already has that authority, you could petition for an accounting and to have her removed. Any way you go you can expect her to fight, so be sure that you have an elder law attorney representing you.Ask a similar question
This sounds like a very difficult and stressful situation you are going through. I'm not sure there are any easy answers. You should consult with an experienced elderlaw attorney who can help you determine what steps to take. From your question, it is not clear to me whether your parents are still competent to manage their own affairs or not. If negotiation doesn't work, You may be forced to seek a guardianship to appoint a responsible person to manage their finances, but this may be difficult if your parents are willing and able to oppose the action. Have you been to the house recently? If there has been no running water for 14 months, that is a serious issue and I would be concerned about what conditions your parents are living in. There are also protection of vulnerable adult statutes that you may want to consider if there is real abuse or neglect and you can't get any other resolution. You can view the AG's website for more information at http://www.atg.wa.gov/VulnerableAdultAbuse.aspx. You may also want to check with Senior Services or Senior Rights Assistance. They have many programs that may be of help to your parents.
This answer provides general legal information and should not be construed as legal advice to be applied to any specific factual situation. It is not intended to create and does not create an attorney-client relationship. The attorney writing this post is licensed in Texas and Washington only and the laws of your jurisdiction may differ.Ask a similar question
Under the circumstances you may need to hire a lawyer to start a guardianship action. You can sign a petition for guardianship without asking to be named the guardian; in this case I would suggest you petition to have an independent Certified Professional Guardian ("CPG") appointed so that you cannot be accused of a self interest. Immediately upon filing the petition your lawyer will ask the court to appoint a Guardian ad Litem to investigate and report back to the court; such a report should reveal any financial or other abuse. Not all lawyers handle guardianships. Many members of the Washington Academy of Elder Law Attorneys handle guardianships; you can find such a lawyer at www.waela.org.

The Lost Garden: A Novel (original 2002; edition 2003)
by Helen Humphreys
Work details
The Lost Garden by Helen Humphreys (2002)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Wasn't sure I was going to like this book when I started. But it surprised me. It was pretty good. Another book set in war times and the United Kingdom! You got me hooked.
[The Lost Garden] by [Helen Humphreys] is a beautifully written book of love, loss and longing. By 1941 Gwen Davis can no longer watch London landmarks and neighborhoods fall to ruin and death. A trained gardener, she volunteers to the Land Army and is sent to Devon to train young girls to grow food crops. Here she and the girls live on an estate along with a regiment of Canadian soldiers who are waiting to be posted.
While the girls work on reviving the vegetable gardens, Gwen finds and is intrigued by three overgrown ornamental gardens she learns were planted around themes. One of them, the last she finds, is surrounded by foliage that causes it to be hidden from view. A secret garden she finds only by crawling through a row of yews. This was the garden of love...and loss.
Over the three months the girls and soldiers live on the estate, Gwen makes her first friend and falls in love for the first time. In just those three months, she is changed forever.
Placed back on the shelf for a reread.
I am not much of a gardener myself but when I was small, I knew the names of most of the common flowers where we lived, I am intrigued by the language of flowers, and I have always thrilled to beautiful gardens. The idea of a hidden or lost garden appeals to me more than you can know and I'm sure the title and cover of this book drew me in immediately. I have to say that as a conditional because I have had it sitting on my bookshelf unread for more than a decade. I can't explain why it sat for so long but getting the push to finally read it was wonderful, especially as it is a gorgeously written story. In fact, Helen Humphreys' latest novel, The Evening Chorus was one of my favorite reads of last year. The Lost Garden has the same seductive, mesmeric feel to it that the newer novel does and I loved immersing myself in the lush and gorgeous language of this beautiful novel.
Gwen Davis has worked for years at the Royal Horticulture Society in London when she volunteers for the Women's Land Army as a way to escape the Blitz. Gwen is generally quiet, almost invisible, ill at ease with others, and convinced of her plainness and undesirability so being in charge of an outfit of young women, especially young women determined to make the most of life in the midst of wartime, is a stretch for her. When Gwen arrives at the country estate where she is to be in charge, she finds that a Canadian regiment is also on the grounds as they await orders and her Land Girls have made themselves at home with the men. Initially Gwen wants no fraternizing, after all; the Land Girls are there to plant potatoes and do their part producing food for the war effort, but she quickly realizes that a lighter hand will return better results. It doesn't hurt that she is intrigued by Raley, the Canadian Commander. With the help of Jane, whose fiance is missing in the war, Gwen starts to soften, learning not only how to lead but also how to connect personally. When Gwen finds a lost garden, one not on any map of the estate and seemingly unknown to the others there, she sets about bringing it back to life, trying to understand the motivation behind building it. Divided into three distinct parts labeled loss, longing, and faith, Gwen tends to the hidden garden as she herself traverses these three states of experience and feeling alongside the corresponding plants blooming and fading.
Humphreys is a master at beautiful language and dreamy imagery and she has drawn a lovely, introspective novel about love and memory and connection. Like the growing season of the gardens, the time the characters have together is fleeting and there is a melancholic and elegiac feel to the novel. Watching Gwen bloom, watching her open her heart to others, to desire, to love is exquisitely done. She is certainly the central character of the novel, the other characters acting as accents. And it is Gwen's personal growth that is carefully detailed in quiet ways, like her giving each of the Land Girls the nickname of a potato variety, starting by calling them exclusively by these nicknames, but slowly coming to use the young women's real names as the book comes to its quiet close. Humphreys writes stunningly of nature and the poetry to be found in plants, weaving nature into this very human story of a desire for connection and love, tying Gwen and the gardens together wonderfully. This is a graceful and stunning novel, reaffirming for me that I should pull the rest of Humphreys's novels off my shelf sooner rather than later so I can submerge myself again in the beauty and magnificence that is her writing.
The Lost Garden by Helen Humphreys is a deceptively simple story, but one of many layers which makes it difficult to describe. Set during World War II, this is less a story of war and more of a reflection on the emotions of war - love, longing and loss. The author obviously is a gardener and uses the plants as a metaphor for these very emotions.
The main character, Gwen Davis was a researcher at the Royal Horticultural Society in London but came to the country to oversee a group of Land Girls and to get away from the constant bombing and destruction of the city that she loved. When she arrives however, she realizes that she is a fish out of water with no ability to inspire those she is intended to lead. Other standout characters are Jane, who became a Land Girl with the hope that it would help her cope with the fact that her fiancé is missing in action and Captain Raley, who is a Canadian officer in charge of the soldiers billeted nearby. He is mourning the loss of a friend and pondering his own mortality as the days of combat approach.
This book packs an emotional punch that one would not expect from such a slender volume. This beautifully written story is lyrical and visual, yet there are moments of humor and a sense of discovery that makes the book very accessible. I highly recommend The Lost Garden.
During WWII, London-born horticulturist Gwen Davis volunteers with the Women's Land Army to grow food for the nation on a rundown country estate in Devon. Between organizing the other female volunteers and getting to know the officers from a Canadian regiment stationed there, Gwen discovers a secret garden that mirrors her life and those around her. Restoring the garden, Gwen finds friendship, love and loss, as well as herself.
This story worked for me on so many levels. The writing was lovely, poetic and lush, much like the garden she described. I could truly smell the freshly dug soil, the dew on the grass, the roses. The story was heartbreaking and it's truth timeless. Vivid, sometimes funny, very moving and poignant, it's one of my favourites this year.
Like love, the novel is not quite definable and has moments of awkwardness or obviousness, but taken as a whole, is delicate and ambitious and, happily, even subtly comic on occasion.
England in 1941 is the setting for this bittersweet story, where maturity means a stoic acceptance of the constant presence of death and the sadness of unfulfilled loves. Gwen Davis leaves London amid the burning wreckage left by the German bombings having given up her job at the Royal Horticultural Society to volunteer as a captain in the Women's Land Army in Devon. She will supervise a small group of young women whose task is to raise food for the war effort. Awkward with people and inexperienced with men, Gwen initially finds the nonagricultural aspects of her new job beyond her. Gradually she becomes friends with one of the young women and falls in love with the Canadian officer billeted with his men in the adjoining estate.

Leaving London to grow food for the war effort, Gwen discovers a mysterious lost garden and the story of a love that becomes her own.This word-perfect, heartbreaking novel is set in early 1941 in Britain when the war seems endless and, perhaps, hopeless. London is on fire from the Blitz, and a young woman gardener named Gwen Davis flees from the burning city for the Devon countryside. She has volunteered for the Land Army, and is to be in charge of a group of young girls who will be trained to plant food crops on an old country estate where the gardens have fallen into ruin. Also on the estate, waiting to be posted, is a regiment of Canadian soldiers. For three months, the young women and men will form attachments, living in a temporary rural escape. No one will be more changed by the stay than Gwen. She will inspire the girls to restore the estate gardens, fall in love with a soldier, find her first deep friendship, and bring a lost garden, created for a great love, back to life. While doing so, she will finally come to know herself and a life worth living. Reading group guide included.

Carter Competition AFB
I used to run Carter Comp AFB's on almost everything I used to build, it's been almost 20 years now though, and great luck with em. I used to have all sorts of problems with Holly's and swore em off. Blowing power valves being the biggest problem or on a dp just not getting it quite right. I see the edelbrock line of carbs seems to be what I would say to be the exact same thing and if any of you guys have had good luck with them. I still have a 750 Carter Comp AFB, it just needs a rebuild. If its the same thing, which I bet it is, a rebuild kit for it get's me a new carb for cheap. I even have a old strip kit with tons of jets and metering rods, pretty handy. I guess what I'm saying is this, is there a carb out there miles away and in front of what I am used to. Heck, I used to make Q-Jets run great over Holly's.
I've ran several of the carbs you mentioned. For performance, I still love Holley and notice that the Holley still seems to be the choice of carburators when I attend car shows, etc.
Edelbrock- I ran the Edelbrock for some time. Edelbrock was difficult for me to dial in, You have the needles, springs, jets to dial in the carb. You also have to purchase a calibration kit that is expensive to dial in the carb to your application. Edelbrock gives you a graphic on how to richen or lean the carb that only a computer tech could figure out. The nice thing about Edelbrock is you don't have to remove the carb to work on it or change jetting etc. The Edelbrock ran fine and was dependable but never had the performance kick I got out of the Holley. If gas mileage is a concern, this carb got excellent mileage. I recommend the Edelbrock for someone who likes to cruise and rarely wants to put the pedal to the metal.
Q Jet- Very good carb and performs well if someone knows how to tune them or rebuild them. Q-Jets run very well on Big Block engines for some reason. Have several GM friends who swear by this carb.
I'm running a 650 DP on my truck right now and love it. I haven't had any problems with the secondaries other than the float level being too high. The problem I have with Holley's is you tend to be afraid to adjust anything such as floats, etc for fear of leaks that just don't want to stop leaking. You can get parts for Holley's at most auto parts which is also a nice feature.
Carter AFB is a nice carb, especially the competition series which I ran for quite some time as well. Excellent acceleration and performance. The only complaint I had with this carb was that it was very sensitive with the inlet filter (screen) going into the carb and fuel bowls. The carb seem to collect dirt easier than others and clog up quickly causing the carb to run poorly. Running this carb requires a good fuel filter (I always run the Fram canister type). This filter solved my dirt in carb problems.
Difficult thing is that each carb works in a different way. Each serves it's purpose, some are difficulty to work on, some easy. I've tried several, and haven't found one that compares to the Holley. At least for my purpose which is going fast and having fun doing it. So, this my 2 cents and you guys can go ahead and beat me to death on this subject. LOL...

Is there a carb WAY better than what you have?....... Probably NO.
Carter has evolved into Edelbrock. Very little changes. I like em.
All the fuss about brands is subjective. Most often people have the wrong carb for the job, or don't know how to tune it, so they swap and find something that works better, then blame the BRAND.
There are lots of differences in boosters and fuel atomization that affects the overall burn of the mixture. Some engines like one type better than the other because of their induction system and heads and the way the fuel mixture hits the combustion chamber.
This is often the case when one brand runs better than another.
Q-jet and Carter are very good. It is hard to beat a good Q-Jet.
AED makes a custom tuned version of the Holley line that often makes power more simple. Barry Grant is very good also.
Also I tend to lean towards too big of a carb. Mainly because the bigger custom carbs have intermediate circuits in them that makes them work on "too small" of engines and the low speed power better and smoother as well as adding unrestricted top end pull because of their size.
This usually allows a dual plane intake to pull up top like a single plane but without the low end torque sacrifice. But that is for another thread.
Run what you have. If there is a problem, then seek help.
Ive always used and liked the carters and qjets as well. I love the simplicity and ease of tuning that the Eddlebrock/carters provide. Makes it a breeze to tune them right on the nut and keep it there, and adding a kit is a walk in the park. A well tuned AFB will outperform a poorly set up "performance" carb all day long. Qjets reputation speak for themselves.
I will say this though. Holley has made some real refinements since 20 years ago. They now have power valve protection for one. Im ready to give them another go. I think it would be hard to beat a well tuned 4160 for basic street use with their vaccuum secondaries and relative simplcity. Im going to try the 4010/4011 series carbs though. They have lots of potential upside including top comes off as opposed to bolt on bowls that leak, huge tuning potential like other holleys, power valve protection, and annular discharge boosters, although Ive not used them as of yet.

over flowing carb
i have a carter afb competition series 9635sa2590 and all that it wants to do is load up with no power and now when i cranck it over gas runs out of every place it can run out of !!! any help out there with my problem ?
I had a Carter AFB carb in my 77' buick Skylark that had 305sbc. The choke flap on the carter would freeze on me. I could not get the car to start up. If I did start the car it would run like crap. I had better luck with Holley carb.
[QUOTE=bodyink] and now when i cranck it over gas runs out of every place it can run out of !!!
Ive been away from carb work for quite a while, but that sounds like a float problem to me. You probably either have a stuck float or it is simply not adjusted right.

I recently received an e-mail from Rep. Denny Rehberg about the government spending $572,602,739 per day on interest from the national debt (which he helped to create since he was elected in 2000). He likes scaring me with big numbers, but here's a number he's afraid to talk about: $2,876,712,329 every day on oil imports.
That's right, it's over five times higher than Rehberg's scary number and it's not "funny" money either—it's real dollars right out of your pocket at the gas pumps. It's energy jobs in Saudi Arabia instead of Montana, and it's oil wars spilling American blood on foreign soil. Imported oil costs us nearly $3 billion dollars every day; $350 billion a year bled out of our country in oil imports and another $700 billion in lost jobs.
And what has your Montana representative done about it? Nothing.
But he does want to cut Social Security for Montana's seniors. Reforming entitlement is political code for taking away benefits earned by hard-working men and women, or putting the safety net in the hands of Wall Street.
He also wants to destroy education by freezing "discretionary spending." And the "hard-working Americans" Denny wants to lower taxes for are the same Wall Street bankers that nearly drove us into bankruptcy.
Dennis McDonald has a real plan for an energy independent America: Clean coal, wind and natural gas for heavy trucks, and we can do it all in Montana! These are jobs for Montanans, jobs for Americans, and they don't involve any more "oil wars."
Let's tell Rehberg and his foreign oil buddies, "No thanks."

UPDATE 2: Boulevard Park shootings were murder not 'running gun battle'
Information from Sgt. Cindi West with the King County Sheriff's Office
UPDATE 2:40pm Friday, March 22
King County Sheriff's detectives said a shooting this week in the Boulevard Park area that left two men dead, was a murder-suicide and not a running gun battle, as was initially reported.
On Wednesday deputies responded to a house in the 1000 block of S 102nd St to a report of gunshots that struck a house. When deputies arrived they found a car running in the front yard with a driver and passenger inside, both been shot in the head. The driver still had a gun in his hand.
The passenger, a 23 year old man from Seattle, was pronounced dead at the scene, the driver, also a 23 year old Seattle man, was transported to Harborview Hospital in critical condition and later died.
Deputies discovered that two other houses nearby had also been struck by gunfire during the same time period. Houses and vehicles in the 10200 block of 1 Ave S and a house in the 10200 block of 10th Ave S. Witnesses initially reported they thought they heard two vehicles in the area but police believe the other houses and vehicles were shot at by the occupants of the vehicle found at the scene.
During the investigation detectives learned that the driver of the vehicle was upset over a recent break-up with his girlfriend. The ex-girlfriend was in the house on 102nd at the time of the shooting.
Evidence at the scene indicates the passenger died of a gunshot wound to the head fired at close range. Detectives believe the driver shot the passenger and then turned the gun on himself.
UPDATE 2:50pm Wednesday
"At this time (the King County Sheriff's Office) has not been able to confirm that there was another vehicle involved. People in the house thought they heard 2 vehicles and a neighbor saw one vehicle in the area but we do not know if this was our victim's vehicle or another vehicle.
The driver is still at Harborview in critical condition."
There is no suspect information at this time. West reiterated that the crime resulted in one passenger dead from an apparent gunshot to the head and the driver in Harborview with a gunshot wound.
West said that the driver knew someone in the house but she is not sure who or what their relationship was. It is unknown if the crime was gang related.
Detectives said that the first deputies on the scene found one weapon in the victim's vehicle but it has not been confirmed if this was the only weapon in the car.
Original Post
Boulevard Park (unincorporated area near Burien border) - an early morning shooting left one man dead and another in critical condition after what detectives believe might have been a shoot out.
The shooting happened in the 1000 block of S. 102nd St just before 1:30 this morning. A woman called 911 and said that she heard numerous gunshots and her house had been hit by gunfire.
Deputies arrived and found a car running in the front yard of the house. The driver and passenger in the vehicle had apparent gunshot wounds. The passenger was pronounced dead at the scene and the driver is in critical condition at Harborview. Both victims are men.
Detectives said at least one other house and another car in the neighborhood was also hit by gunfire. One car was seen leaving the scene around the time of the shooting. There is no description of that vehicle at this time.
Will update as more info is available.

82 inch LCD touchscreen Gorilla Glass 2 panel will be on display at CES. Touchscreens for the automobile and home appliance industry will be displayed via simulators that show off how thin, durable glass like Gorilla Glass 2 can help in making new designs. The centerpiece of Corning's display will be a Gorilla Glass covered video wall with speakers made of the durable glass pounding out the latest news about Corning's glass technology. Those visiting the booth will be allowed to try to damage a sample of Gorilla Glass 2.
As wireless devices become thinner, Gorilla Glass 2 is "very well positioned to meet these challenges and enable broader touch technology penetration," according to James R. Steiner, Corning's senior vice president and general manager. For those who have ever gingerly picked up their dropped smartphone off the floor expecting to see a cracked screen, but finding no damage, it is apparent that when it comes to protecting your expensive devices, Corning is not monkeying around.

2015 Volkswagen Golfs Bound For the U.S. will Be Made In Mexico
The U.S.-bound, seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf will be made in Mexico. The German automaker has announced that production of the new model will commence at its Puebla, Mexico, plant in early 2014. VW says that the decision to build the Golf in Mexico safeguards from currency fluctuation, protecting the brand in the fight between the weakening Euro and strong U.S. Golf sales. The Golf will join the Jetta, the Jetta SportWagen, and the Beetle, all of which currently are produced in Mexico.
European markets will continue to get their Golfs from local plantsPuebla-built Golf models are reserved for just the American markets. But the production site should not imply that quality and equipment are inferior to European-built models. Puebla-built Jettas, Beetles, and SportWagens are exported to markets all around the globe, including Germany.
Although the Golf MkVII already is available in Europe, the car wont be sold in the U.S. some time in the first half of 2014, according to VW of America. Despite the delayed launch, the Golf VII is likely to be worth the wait over the sixth-generation hatchback currently on offer. The 2015 Golf will be significantly lighter and more agile than the MkVI, and it will ditch the five-cylinder engine in favor of a turbocharged four.

text: The problem with your assumption is Curry was saying that AI was going to continue getting what he was getting, which was what AI was complaining about in the first place. I see it as the return you get from AI playing well would be way better than what you get from Bynum playing well, so if you're looking towards the playoffs and AI being your X-factor off the bench, you give AI a few extra minutes. If you're looking towards the future, things may be different. I think it obvious which direction they were going.

Back at Boundary Park after an uncomfortable exile in Rochdale, Oldham led for most of the game but only clinched two points to launch their campaign in the Northern Ford Premiership in the last few minutes. The scores were tied at 20-20 and Hornets had already failed to break the deadlock with two drop goal attempts when Anthony Gibbons, one of 10 new signings in the Oldham starting line-up, put one over to give them a single- point lead.
Dane Dorahy, who had an intriguing battle all afternoon with Oldham's player-coach, Mike Ford, came close to putting over an equaliser, but Oldham sealed it when Gavin Price-Jones stuck out an instinctive arm to tackle Mark Campbell high and Mark Sibson landed the penalty.
Rochdale had taken an early lead with a soft try when Darren Robinson squirmed over from dummy half, but their discipline let them down as Oldham built a healthy first-half lead. Ford's sleight of hand set Wes Rogers over for the equaliser and Price-Jones' knock-on from Ford's kick surrendered the possession from which Campbell claimed Oldham's second try.
When John Hough forced his way over and Sibson added his third goal, Oldham were well in control, but Rochdale's recovery before and after half-time showed that they too could be an improving side this season. Lee Hudson scored one try and set up another with an inside ball to Chris Newall, who then provided the pass for the try from Scott Martin that put Hornets ahead.
But Sibson soon levelled the scores with a penalty after Ford's scuttle had caught Rochdale offside, and Oldham, backed by the sort of crowd that would soon put the club on a firm footing, kept their heads the better in the final minutes.
"I am proud of the way my players came back, but if their discipline in the first half had been as good as in the second, I don't think Oldham would have got near us," said Rochdale's new coach, Steve Linnane, who complained that the referee had missed a blatant trip by Leo Casey on Dorahy that could have given his side a match-winning penalty.
Ford, after a tireless personal display, rated this as "a vital win". He said: "It was very, very tense at the end, but we can only get better. It was only our second game together."
Oldham: Sibson; Hayes, A Gibbons, Rich, McNicholas; D Gibbons, Ford; Casey, Hough, Proctor, Campbell, Rogers, O'Reilly. Substitutes used: Clegg, Mannion, Holland.
Rochdale Hornets: Wilde; Hudson, Martin, Cooper, Price-Jones; Wood, Dorahy; Sculthorpe, Robinson, McMenemy, McKinney, Derose, Newall. Substitutes used: Moore, Cameron, Waring, Bunce.
Referee: C Morris (Huddersfield).

More Moves to Boost Global Use of Chinese Currency
For several years, there has been a question of how long the US dollar will remain the global currency of choice. The likelihood is very low that countries will replace the good old greenback with something else, but it is highly likely the dollar will get additional company as other currencies are accepted more readily in terms of trade.
The latest move has the European Central Bank arranging a currency swap with the Chinese. This swap line of about $57 billion will be the third largest China has been involved in, behind only the swap lines arranged in Hong Kong and South Korea. It is not seen as a real substitute for the way that trade is handled right now, but it provides a kind of currency backstop and continues to move the renminbi forward as a true global currency.
The chief motivation for the swap agreement is that there has been a dramatic increase in bilateral trade between Europe, mostly Germany, and China. As downturns affected EU member nations, the United States and Eastern Europe, German companies needed to look elsewhere, such as China and other Asian markets, for growth. China is now the euro zone's second biggest trading partner—behind only the zone itself.
The day of the dollar is anything but over, as the vast majority of global transactions continues to be handled with the greenback. There is no evidence that most nations have any interest at all in trying to trade with Chinese currency. If anything, the dollar has gained strength as a global currency given the travails of the euro. The point is that China and other nations want options that can make trade and investment easier.

Empty and Purge
Start by removing everything from your medicine cabinet. As you take each item out, check the expiration date. If it has expired, see What's the Best Way to Get Rid of Old Medications? for tips on how to dispose of it properly. Sort and organize anything that hasn't expired into piles based on what they are used for – pain medicines together, first aid essentials in another pile, and so on.

I don't know who had the idea to actually put this red hot topic on the air, but it made it! I was on Huffington Post Live yesterday talking about how the futures markets are taking trading volume away from the swaps market, and why this is good.
The segment turned out pretty well. There are a few points about futures vs. swaps which "everyone" should know:
1. Clearinghouse systems are inherently safer than bi-lateral agreement based systems.
2. Futures are well (and largely properly) regulated
3. Futures markets are probably the fairest markets in the world.
4. Modern clearing houses have fantastic risk management (despite what the swaps guy says in this video)
5. Swaps have been practicing regulatory arbitrage against the futures markets for several decades.
6. Credit Default Swaps are far more risky than Interest Rate Swaps. Interest rates swaps are not all that risky. Credit default swaps are like options on corporate debt.
7. Futures markets have reportable positions. This means once your total position gets large, you must report this to the regulators. Additionally, there are typically position limits as well. These two rules would have prevented AIG from putting on so many positions in one direction.
This could actually be an entire series of blog posts, but I've been really short on time.
On a day to day basis, it does not matter to the wider economy if these transactions take place on an exchange or in the OTC market. The macro effects of this discussion are not large, except when the system is near failure or fails.
The swaps market is at a huge disadvantage in the case of a near system failure. There is a clear and predetermined failure plan within a clearinghouse structure. The clearinghouse structure has massive transparency compared to the swaps market, and it's quickly known who is going to take losses, and how large those losses are going to be.
But even more importantly, the rest of the market is priced. Futures markets get priced everyday, and the gains and losses are debited/credited to accounts on a daily basis. There isn't a question who is holding radioactive bad contracts, or who is hiding losses, because these show up immediately.
In the swaps market failure, there can be weeks or days of sheer panic where nobody knows who is taking losses. Then at the end, some bankers get together in a back room with the feds and make a deal with the feds for a bailout.
The clearinghouse structure is simply much more transparent on every important point when the system is near failure.

Vertebrate community on an ice-age Caribbean island
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 201516490.
SignificanceA flooded sinkhole cave on Abaco (The Bahamas) has yielded the richest (95 species) set of late Pleistocene (ice-age) vertebrates on any Caribbean island. We track changes in species composition on Abaco through time and relate those biotic changes to climate change. The warmer, wetter climate and rising sea levels from 15,000 to 9,000 years ago probably led to the disappearance on Abaco of at least 17 species of birds. Another 22 species of reptiles, birds, and mammals persisted through those environmental changes but did not survive the last 1,000 years of human activity. For the species that remain, we believe that direct human activity threatens their future more than climate change. We report 95 vertebrate taxa (13 fishes, 11 reptiles, 63 birds, 8 mammals) from late Pleistocene bone deposits in Sawmill Sink, Abaco, The Bahamas. The >5,000 fossils were recovered by scuba divers on ledges at depths of 27-35 m below sea level. Of the 95 species, 39 (41%) no longer occur on Abaco (4 reptiles, 31 birds, 4 mammals). We estimate that 17 of the 39 losses (all of them birds) are linked to changes during the Pleistocene-Holocene Transition (PHT) ([~]15-9 ka) in climate (becoming more warm and moist), habitat (expansion of broadleaf forest at the expense of pine woodland), sea level (rising from -80 m to nearly modern levels), and island area (receding from [~]17,000 km2 to 1,214 km2). The remaining 22 losses likely are related to the presence of humans on Abaco for the past 1,000 y. Thus, the late Holocene arrival of people probably depleted more populations than the dramatic physical and biological changes associated with the PHT.

A report out of Switzerland suggests the deceased Palestinian leader may have been poisoned with polonium-210, the same radioactive substance used to kill former Russian FSB officer Alexander Litvinenko.
Arafat's body was exhumed a year ago and a Swiss forensics team has concluded that testing of his remains "moderately support the proposition that the death was the consequence of poisoning with polonium-210."
The Guardian has more:
David Barclay, a British forensic scientist who had studied the report, told al-Jazeera: "The report contains strong evidence, in my view conclusive evidence, that there's at least 18 times the level of polonium in Arafat's exhumed body than there should be."
He said the report represented "a smoking gun". Barclay said: "It's what killed him. Now we need to find out who was holding the gun at that time," adding: "I would point to him being given a fatal dose. I don't think there's any doubt at all."
The Israeli government, however, dismissed the report. "The Swiss findings are not conclusive," said Yigal Palmor, a foreign ministry spokesman.
"Even if they did find traces of polonium that could indicate poisoning, there's no evidence of how that poisoning occurred. Before the Palestinian Authority jumps to conclusions, there are many questions still to be answered.
Arafat's widow tells The Guardian she is certain her husband was poisoned and that she and her daughter will continue to look for a culprit.

Today's (30.4.2013) Saathiya episode of Gopi (Devoleena Bhattacharjee) and Rashi (Rucha Hasabnis) starts with Kokila (Rupal Patel) seeing the camera and she prays that the camera should not show her face.
Kokila plans to inform about the camera to their family.
Kokila messages to Kinjal and Dhaval and she informs that she wants to meet both of them.
Kokila informs to Meethi that a camera is fixed in their home, so warns her to be aware of that.
Urmila comes to her home like a criminal and Kokila calls her inside to hide in their room.
Somebody knocks the door strongly so, Kokila and Urmila are very afraid.
Through that camera, they all see A.C.P entering into their home.
A.C.P commands the officers to search Urmila and suddenly A.C.P gets a call and they inform that Modi's family in Rajpal.
Kinjal says to Kokila that they all have to escape from that place.

Filner Dumped by Fiancé
Photo credit 10News
Bronwyn Ingram, who Filner introduced as "the first lady of San Diego" served as a disability analyst for the Social Security Administration, but when Filner took office, she led an effort against homelessness in San Diego.
Ingram and Filner began dating in 2009 and were engaged since January 2012. Their marriage would have been Filner's third and Ingram's second. Filner is 70 years old Ingram is believed to be 48 years old.
Media partner 10News obtained the following letter Ingram sent to her friends:
Dear friends,
With great sadness, I must inform you that I am unable to continue my efforts on behalf of the homeless population in San Diego. I am dissolving my volunteer organization, Team First Lady San Diego. I want to recognize the hard work and dedication of all of the TFLSD volunteers and I hope that you will continue performing the wonderful work that you do within your communities.
I have broken off my engagement to Bob Filner and ended our relationship. I have struggled with this decision as I really wanted to see the community projects we had initiated with such enthusiasm come to fruition. I am extremely disappointed and heartbroken, both for what Team First Lady could have accomplished, and for me, personally; however, this is the only action I can take given the devolvement of our personal relationship. I wish Bob the best and sincerely hope those who have worked so hard on behalf of Team First Lady will continue their efforts in the same spirit of generosity for the communities of San Diego.

Robin from St. Paul, Minnesota writes:
The other day I was over at a friend's house and when she started her computer it had a really pretty screen before the Windows screen – do you know what I'm talking about? Where can I get something like that?
Well, Robin, I do know what you're talking about, and I can show you how to get it to come up instead of the other boring black one (I think it's pretty, too).
(Note: My Aurora bootscreen looks like the one above; there may be slight differences with the other versions of Vista. The one I have is Vista Home Premium.)
I don't know why Windows just didn't put this on Vista in the first place. It's a hidden bootscreen (Shh! Don't tell anyone about it because you might like it better and there's no reason why you shouldn't have it) that you can activate by doing a couple of really easy things. And here they are:
First, go to Start, and then click on Run.
In the box that pops up, type in msconfig and click on OK.
The box that pops up will have 5 tabs across the top. Click on the one that says Boot. Put a checkmark in the box to the left of No GUI boot. Click on Apply. Click on OK. Then reboot.
Now you can reboot. If you want to wait until later, than just click on Exit without Restart; the computer will save your changes.
If you do decide to reboot, then click on (obviously) Restart.
Now when you reboot, you are no longer stuck with a boring black screen with that bar loading. You will have a boot screen that looks like this (I'm going to show you it again because it is a lot prettier):
There you go, Robin! Lots better, huh?
One added note: If you feel like you would like to go back to the default black box, go through all of the steps again, only this time (after you type in msconfig and click on OK), uncheck the box next to No GUI boot. Click on Apply, and then OK. Reboot. Your old familiar black screen will load instead of the hidden (Shh! I'm serious, don't tell!) Aurora bootscreen.
Thanks for writing, Robin!

The true story of how Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa allowed a Hollywood crew to film him in battle, altering the course of film and military history in the process. Early movie giants D.W. Griffin and Harry Aiken send Frank Thayer to Mexico to persuade the cash-strapped, publicity-hungry Villa to let them film his revolution. Stepping into the literal cross fire, Thayer's crew risk their lives in the mingling of fiction and reality. The two make their movie and its original U.S. release helps change public opinion in Villa's favor and proves "the lens is mightier than the sword."

Biography of
Mary Beard Dunlap
Mary Beard Dunlap (1730-1796) Headstone
Waxhaw Presbyterian Church Cemetery
Maury Co., Tennessee
Next we go to a website which shows the Waxhaw Church Cemetery in Lancaster County, South Carolina. As one scrolls down on this page, there is a photo and description of the grave of one Samuel Dunlap, who is said to be a son of the Alexander Dunlop who married Antonia Brown. This Samuel Dunlap is listed there as being born in Scotland in 1715 and is said to have emigrated to America in about 1730 (when he would have been about 15 years old), and then married Mary Beard, daughter of Thomas Beard. Mary Beard is said to have been born in 1730, and so their marriage must have taken place in about 1748 or later (when Samuel was about 33 years old or older). This website also says that Samuel died in 1791. However, a closer inspection of the Scottish peerage records, shows that Antonia (Brown) Dunlop was born in 1654, and would have been 61 years old when Samuel was born. Thus, the record on the Waxhaw tombstone most probably refers to another younger Alexander Dunlop and Antonia Brown. Samuel was more probably the son of Prof, Alexander Dunlop (1682-1742) and a younger Antonia Brown (b. 1694), who is of the same family as the older Antonia Brown (b. 1654) who married Alexander Dunlop, 16th of that Ilk.
Rt - Samuel Dunlap Middle- Mary Beard Dunlap
|Thanks to Lhuff - She did not marry 2nd James Coursey. James Coursey did marry the widow of Robert Dunlap however her name was Mary Elizabeth Gay Dunlap daughter of William Gay. 3 Sep 2007

The death of Brazilian presidential candidate Eduardo Campos yesterday resets a contentious campaign less than two months before the election.
Campos died when his small plane crashed in Sao Paulo state following an aborted landing attempt because of bad weather. President Dilma Rousseff and candidate Aecio Neves said they are suspending their campaigns to attend his wake. Campos's running mate, Marina Silva, said it's time to mourn and didn't comment on whether she would replace him.
The Ibovespa stock index and Brazil's real swung between losses and gains yesterday as investors tried to assess what Campos's death means for the October election. The volatility reflects the debate about who will gain support in the polls, with Nomura Securities International saying a Silva candidacy would hurt Rousseff and electoral researcher Instituto Analise pointing to Neves as the likely loser.

One midweek match last week provided an example of just how unsettled North Suncoast volleyball remains.
The area's top team, Mitchell, was swept by Anclote, giving the Sharks their first-ever victory over the Mustangs.
Whether the match was an aberration or a premonition, consider it a reminder of how quickly fates can turn in the postseason. With that in mind, here are the four biggest questions heading into district tournaments:
• Who advances in Class 5A, District 8? Fivay and Ridgewood battled each other tightly all season. Each team earned a 3-1 victory over the other, and they gained the same number of points (173) in their two matchups. The Falcons, led by Toni Imbimbo and Briannah Nemetz, have the top seed and will likely advance to the final, but who will join them?
The Rams are the other favorite behind player of the year candidate Mary Kujak, but don't count out third-seeded Anclote. Mia Lockhart and the Sharks should be confident after knocking off Mitchell, but they were swept by Ridgewood earlier this month. Besides, Anclote upset Fivay last year on its run to the region tournament, so it has plenty of experience at coming through in big games.
• How far will Mitchell go? The Mustangs are balanced and loaded with talent for one of coach Keith Paulk's best teams so far. Jessika Hester has solidified herself as one of Pasco County's top talents, but she has plenty of help, including Shayna Filippelli (484 assists) and Lyndsey Lane (163 kills).
The road ahead isn't easy. Two of Mitchell's five losses have come against power Tarpon Springs, and a first-round matchup with rival River Ridge won't be easy, either. The Mustangs made it to the Class 6A region quarterfinals last year and are primed for another visit this season. But can they advance any deeper?
• Can Bishop McLaughlin bounce back? The Hurricanes lost their top player, Jessica Johnson, from the team that advanced to the Class 3A region semifinals for the first time in program history. Bishop McLaughlin replaced Johnson with another Division I talent, sophomore Alyssa Mathis, who already ranks as one of the North Suncoast's most prolific players.
Some early season hiccups led to the Hurricanes' No. 4 seed and a steep hill to climb if they want to advance to the playoffs. If Bishop McLaughlin gets past Brooks-DeBartolo in the first round, it must conquer Tampa Prep. The Terps knocked Bishop McLaughlin out of the playoffs last year and handed the Hurricanes a 3-1 loss this fall.
• What's in store for Springstead? The Eagles have a new coach, Noemi Rivera, and graduated many of their top players from last year's squad, which had the best season in school history (22-6) and rolled to the region semifinals. Springstead still has plenty of talent, including senior Marisa Welch (137 kills) and junior Bryanna Leonard (39 aces, 293 assists).
But the road back to the region tournament won't be easy. Springstead earned a No. 3 seed and has a first-round matchup with Lecanto, which handed the Eagles a 3-1 loss last month.

as I was changing firewall pad I noticed the switch had been altered in that there had been a bunch of tape and rubber added to one side of the switch it is bolted on the bracked ok but I am not sure what a 66 should look like with a 2 speed at I am not sure but could look at it if upside down just not sure why all the stuff taped on there it has 2 orange wires to it which is stock so I think it was messed up so it was altered, any part numbers out there or pics of oneThanks
GM Chevy Buick Olds Pontiac Corvette Automatic Kickdown Switch GM# 1242101they used these on corvette C3si should mention.. that the gas pedal does not touch the push bar on the switch until the pedal has opened the carb about half way.. i would imagine that any tape or wrapping might be to insulate for sound.. or to stop the wires from getting bound up in the switch or pedal movements.. got pictures??? use photobucket.. its free. .
I will try the photo bucket but the picture looks likes the one I have except of the stuff taped to the pin that the gas peddle hits it acts likes its hanging up as I slide it back and fourth. It seems that from pictures Ive seen that pin should be in middle of the switch and it isn't on mine
it should be free to slide.. if somebody wrapped stuff around the pin.. they either tried to lower the kick down from 3rd to 2nd throttle percentage/angle..why not unbolt it .. its only a single bolt and a single connector.. take some photos.. or even a video.. there are a few ON ebay..depending on the amount of power your engine makes.. i know a lot of people including me.. who don't have those hooked up .. i manually shift down.. but thats just the way i am..i don't even have the kick down disconnected on my ford van with a C6.. its important on most 4 speed overdrive automatics.. and a few 3 speed automatics.. the kick down switch is not moved until the car is around half throttle.. ..if they added material to it.. they might not have understood why and how it works..

Food Insecurity in the Sahel: Localized IPC Phase 3-Crisis likely after March 2012
FEWS NET analysis shows that acute food insecurity in West Africa will reach IPC Phase 3: Crisis level between March and August 2012 in agropastoral areas of Mauritania, Mali,
Niger, and Chad. The extent and severity of the expected food security conditions are not atypical for any recent year in the region, except for Mali.
L'histoire de la présence du CICR au Mali se confond avec les soubresauts qui affectent le nord du pays ces dernières décennies.
Dès 1991 à travers ses représentations de Bamako et Gao, le CICR s'est efforcé d'apporter sa réponse aux besoins des personnes affectées par le conflit armé que connaissait le septentrion du pays. De par son mandat et sa neutralité, le CICR a été et reste l'un des rares acteurs humanitaires présents au Nord Mali.
Millet-sorghum harvests currently in process will end early (in December, rather than January, as is typical in West Africa) due not only to rainfall deficits, but also to grasshopper and grain-eating bird attacks on gadiaba sorghum. These late-season attacks further worsened cereal production below the low level predicted in November. In the central Niger Delta, where irrigation of areas of submerged rice was already poor (20-30 percent of area planted), we also expect an early recession of water during while crop development is delayed, due to the late and weak flooding.
This 2010 Progress Report on the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) was prepared by the member country in broad consultation with stakeholders and development partners, including the staffs of the World Bank and the IMF. PRSPs describe the country's macroeconomic, structural, and social policies in support of growth and poverty reduction, as well as associated external financing needs and major sources of financing.
Par Priyanka Pruthi
NEW YORK, États-Unis, 27 décembre 2011 - Alors même que le combat contre la faim continue dans la Corne de l'Afrique durement frappée par la sécheresse, une autre crise s'installe dans huit pays d'Afrique de l'Ouest.
VIDÉO (en anglais) : le reportage de la correspondante de l'UNICEF, Priyanka Pruthi sur la crise grandissante dans la région du Sahel en Afrique, où plus d'un million d'enfants sont menacés par une malnutrition sévère.
La menace d'une grave crise alimentaire se fait jour dans plusieurs pays du Sahel. Caritas Internationalis, le réseau mondial des Caritas, auquel appartient le Secours Catholique, est en alerte et prépare un appel à la solidarité de ses membres.
By Priyanka Pruthi
NEW YORK, USA, 27 December 2011 – Even as the battle against hunger continues in the drought-hit Horn of Africa, another crisis has begun to unfold in eight countries across West Africa.
VIDEO: UNICEF correspondent Priyanka Pruthi reports on the growing crisis in Africa's Sahel region, where more than a million children are at risk of becoming severely malnourished.
Period covered by this update: 05 to 21 October, 2011.
Summary: CHF 264,684 was allocated from the IFRC's Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) on 08 September, 2011 to support the Mali Red Cross in delivering assistance to some 7,500 beneficiaries.
In August 2011, floods that occurred in Mali affected many locations: Tombouctou (cities of Goundam and Gossi); Mopti (village of Sana); Koro; Sikasso; Kidal; Kayes (Diboly); and Koulikoro (prefecture of Kangaba).
L'insécurité alimentaire au Sahel: IPC Phase 3-Crise vraisemblable localement après mars 2012
L'analyse de FEWS NET démontre que l'insécurité alimentaire aiguë en Afrique de l'ouest atteindra IPC Phase 3 : Crise entre mars et août 2012 environ. La sévérité et l'ampleur de cette Crise est typique dans la région, sauf au Mali.
DAKAR, 23 December 2011 (IRIN) - While severely high food prices and lower-than-average cereal outputs are already forcing some vulnerable Sahelians into distress responses, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) food security website FEWSNET says messaging on the situation needs to be more nuanced.
It says the links between cereal production and malnutrition have been exaggerated, the complexities of regional market conditions inadequately conveyed, and the need for long-term structural solutions under-emphasized.
NEW YORK, 22 December 2011 – "An estimated one million young children in the Sahel region of West and Central Africa are in danger of becoming severely malnourished in 2012 if the global community does not take action.
"Eight countries across the Sahelian belt are part of this crisis for children. Inadequate rain and poor harvests mean that the 'lean season' – when food from the last harvest runs out – could begin in some countries as early as March, rather than as usual in June.
The Sahel region of West Africa is facing a looming hunger crisis in 2012 with the UN and governments estimating that more than 12 million people in Niger, Burkina Faso, Mali and Chad are at risk of food insecurity.
There is a chronic food and nutrition emergency in the region and an on-going livelihoods crisis, which is only worsened by this year's poor and erratic rains, locust infestations and high food prices.

GENEVA, 21 December 2011 – Members of parliament from Bangladesh, Cambodia, Senegal, Uganda and the East African Legislative Assembly came together in Geneva this week to agree on the establishment of a Global Advisory Group for parliamentarians with UNISDR's Special Adviser on Parliamentarians, Feng Min Kan.
ICRC helps vaccinate 4.5 million animals
Niamey/Geneva (ICRC) – With support from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), a major campaign to vaccinate 4.5 million head of cattle and rid them of parasites has just been launched in the northern parts of Mali and Niger and in areas along the border between the two countries.
WASHINGTON, December 20, 2011- The World Bank has approved US$30 million to finance the Mali Strengthening Reproductive Health Project, which aims to improve women's access to and use of quality reproductive health services, and to accelerate progress towards the Millennium Development Goals that fall due in 2015.
NEW YORK, États-Unis, 13 décembre 2011 - Le vrombissement d'une moto annonce l'arrivée des agents de santé dans un village isolé du district de Kayes, au Mali. Ils amènent le matériel médical indispensable à la survie des communautés privées d'un accès facile aux soins de santé.
Un groupe d'enfants et de femmes les attendent déjà, faisant la queue sur les deux côtés d'une route de village poussiéreuse dans la perspective de la livraison des vaccins et du reste du matériel médical.
According to the Senegalese Ministry of Health and Prevention, three cases of yellow fever were notified on 26 October 2011, in Salémata, Kédougou and Saraya health districts, in the eastern part of the country. The affected areas share borders with Guinea and Mali (see map) and cross border movements are common because of gold mines. The risk of spread of this epidemic is therefore high in this subregion, prompting the need to conduct a targeted vaccination response.
16 December 2011 – A United Nations mission to assess the impact of the recent turmoil in Libya on the Sahel region is heading to Mauritania for talks with top officials in the West African nation, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's spokesperson announced today.
The mission, dispatched by Mr. Ban, has already visited Mali, Niger and Chad, to discuss issues ranging from migration and humanitarian assistance to counter-narcotics and counter-terrorism.
NIAMEY, 16 December 2011 – The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has contributed US$1,588,000 to UNICEF Niger to support polio eradication. The funds will purchase Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) and will allow the Government of Niger and its partners to immunize up to 3.77 million children in 2011.

Calculus`DSolveIntegrals` to find special solutions."
This way
Derivative[0,1][f][x,t] == K Derivative[2,0][f][x,t],f[x,t], {x,t}] do
not give result too.
There is some result in numeriacal analys (from man) K=1;
solution=NDSolve[{D[f[x, t], t] ==K D[f[x, t], {x,2}],
f[x, 0] == Exp[-x^2], f[-5, t] == f[5, t]},f, {x, -5, 5}, {t, 0,
5}]; Plot3D[Evaluate[f[x, t] /. First[solution]],{x,-5,5},{t,0,5},
but is any way fo find it result in analytic?
