- Video: The big issues at Melbourne
- Schwab on thin ice
- Greg Baum: Demons fans haunted
- Recovery Session: The cupboard is bare
Whatever you do, stay positive and aim for little wins.
That's the advice from veteran AFL coaches Mark Thompson and Rodney Eade to counterpart Mark Neeld as he deals with a nightmare start to the season.
Neeld and Melbourne are under siege after they started with a 79-point loss to Port Adelaide and then last Saturday night's 148-point disaster against Essendon.
Thompson, the two-time Geelong premiership coach and now an assistant at the Bombers, said the weekend's mismatch did not reflect reality.
"You actually feel sorry for the opposition," he said on Fox Footy's AFL 360 program.
"But they were just lost and we're not that good, we're seriously not.
"They're not that bad, so you feel for the club."
Thompson said it was vital that Neeld stayed confidence, no matter the stress he is feeling.
"You have to just rally your troops and as bad as you're going ... they can't be looking at the senior coach and saying 'he's stressing, he's lacking confidence'," Thompson said.
"You have to get in there are reinforce what you've done, where you want to go.
"Just talk about behaviour - how we want to play."
Eade coached Sydney and the Western Bulldogs and is now coaching director at Collingwood.
There has been talk since Saturday night that Neeld must now be tough on his players, but Eade is not so sure.
"If you're going to smack them over the head, you have to pick them back up," he said.
"The main thing is, give them a little focus - that we can focus on, that's attainable ... (that) is based around effort."
Thompson went through plenty of tough moments during his time at Geelong.
But he always had confidence his players would rally.
"Even when Geelong were a good team, they'd occasionally come out and have a bad quarter," he said.
"But you knew, with the quality of the people, that it wouldn't last."

Two men pulled from the water at NSW beaches have died despite the efforts of doctors and paramedics to revive them.
A 32-year-old bodyboarder who entered the water at Inyadda Beach at Bendalong, near Nowra, about 10am (AEDT) on Monday was pulled ashore by local surfers, police said.
It's suspected he suffered a medical emergency.
A NSW Ambulance spokeswoman said a doctor happened to be at the beach and administered CPR until paramedics arrived.
They spent about 20 minutes trying to revive the man but he died at the scene. He may have had a pre-existing medical condition, police said.
Meanwhile, a snorkeller found a man aged in his mid-twenties floating unconscious underwater at Little Delwood Beach near the Manly Wharf on Sydney's northern beaches about 1pm on Monday.
He had gone into cardiac arrest.
Emergency crews arrived and performed CPR on him before taking him to Manly Hospital in a critical condition, a NSW Ambulance spokeswoman said.
A hospital spokeswoman said despite the efforts of staff the man was unable to be revived and was pronounced dead.
The incidents happened on the same day a woman's body was found after she went missing from her family boat anchored at Rose Bay.

UMKC honors alumna for devotion to women's healthcareThe University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) has selected Joyce Townser, R.N., to receive the 2006 Alumni Achievement Award under the banner of the UMKC School of Nursing.
She will receive the award at the Alumni Association's dinner and program to be held at 5:30 p.m. April 19, 2007 in the Swinney Recreation Center, 5030 Holmes, on the UMKC campus.
Each year, one alumnus from each of the university's 12 academic units is selected to receive the Alumni Achievement Award for their notable professional success and outstanding community service.
Townser is a member of the Kansas City Black Nurses Association, a 1996 graduate of the UMKC School of Nursing, and has worked in public health administration overseeing women's health for 10 years. She is also a survivor of domestic violence.
Townser has created avenues for abused women throughout Kansas City to find resources. She has partnered with UMKC's Women's Center in 2003 to put on a domestic violence awareness workshop. In 2005, she again joined forces with the Women's Center for their Red Dress Tea, which focuses on women's heart health. Most recently, in 2006, Townser helped sponsor the Women's Center's Inaugural Black Women Leadership Conference.
Apart from UMKC, Townser spearheaded a four-state conference in 1999 that sought to increase awareness that domestic violence is a public health issue. As a result of the conference, protection orders are recognized within the four-state area, eliminating the need for women to reapply. She also created a domestic violence card, sized to fit in a woman's pocketbook, listing the resources and steps for leaving a dangerous domestic situation. The cards are still available to the public.
It's easy to see that Townser's work extends beyond Kansas City, especially when you talk about her position within the U.S. Department of Health Human Services (DHHS). She is coordinator for Region VII of the Office on Women's Health, which covers Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska.
Research is another area at UMKC that Townser has influenced. She was indispensable to both the UMKC School of Nursing and School of Medicine as they sought and obtained funding for the DHHS National Center of Excellence in Women's Health, the only Center in a four-state region and one of only 21 such centers nationwide. She remains involved as an advocate, making recommendations to improve community collaborations aimed at minority and underserved women.
"Joyce Townser is an alumnus that the UMKC community, especially the School of Nursing, can be proud to list as a graduate," said Jacki S. Witt, J.D., a women's health nurse practitioner, clinical associate professor with the School of Nursing, and co-chair of the clinical services subcommittee for the UMKC/TMC National Center of Excellence in Women's Health.
Townser grew up in the inner-city of Kansas City with eight siblings and attended public schools. She is the first nurse in her family.
UMKC is one of four University of Missouri campuses. It is a public university serving more than 14,000 undergraduate, graduate and professional students. UMKC engages with the community and economy based on a three-part mission: visual and performing arts, health and life sciences, and urban affairs.

No problem if the summ of all pipes exceedes the total bw. We have about 120

text: Nothing like the whole world watching and waiting while you deliver a baby. That is exactly what it is like right now for that Duchess Of Cambridge person who used to be known as Kate Middleton. Did she get a choice in that name at all? What if she was more of an Oxford fan rather than Cambridge? Anyway, early this morning US time, Kate went to the hospital. She managed to get there without any photographers catching on which shows you that even when there are hundreds of them waiting, they can be outsmarted. Not even one photo of Kate on the way? If there had been one, it would have been worth a lot. of course, she was probably hidden anyway, so you could just publish a photo of a car and say she was in it.

Beside telling Joe's side of story about his past romance, the forthcoming album will also see him playing 'into sex-symbol role.'
Commenting on Joe Jonas' statement about making an album which will share his side of story in breakups and makeups he's gone through, Claude Kelly said the Jonas Brothers member won't hold anything back. "It's gonna be good, absolutely," the songwriter told MTV.
Talking more about creative process of Joe's album, Claude gushed, "He's like, 'I want to talk about this girl or how hot she is or we're breaking up or we're together.' He'll say it, and he'll put his life in the song, which makes the best songs." He added, "[Joe] really knows what he wants. His vocals are really awesome, range-wise."
In addition, Claude claims Joe who recently broke up with Ashley Greene will lure the ladies to his side with his new songs, "Obviously, he's a sex symbol already, but he's really gonna play into a sex-symbol role [in the album]."
"He's doing edgier, more urban music. I've been working with [producer] Danja," he elaborated. "It's edgy, urban pop where he can showcase his voice in a way people haven't heard him before. So, he's singing more edgy things and the music is more mature, but fun still."

From OpenWetWare
To describe the dynamic behavior of a Semi-Continuous Tank Reactor (SCTR) mass, component and energy balance equations must be developed. This requires an understanding of the functional expressions that describe chemical reaction. A reaction will create new components while simultaneously reducing reactant concentrations. The reaction may give off heat or my require energy to proceed.
To develop a realistic SCTR model the change of individual species (or components) with respect to time must be considered. This is because individual components can appear / disappear because of reaction (remember that the overall mass of reactants and products will always stay the same). If there are N components, N – 1 component balances and an overall mass balance expression are required. Alternatively a component balance may be written for each species.
In certain SCTR´s (generally small vessels) the wall dynamics can have a significant effect on the thermal control and stability of a SCTR. If this is the case then an energy balance expression should be developed describing the rate of change of wall temperature with respect to time, assuming that the wall temperature is the same at any point.
For an ideal approach, the CCMV capsid could be considered as reactor with an accumulation of the product inside the capsid. An analysis of a reactor is a common in chemical engineering. The reactor proposed is a complete opposite type from tubular plug-flow and stirred batch reactors, or a continuous stirred tank reactor and can be very useful when studying the behavior of a gas, liquid or solid.
The reactor's behavior is modeled by a Semi-Continuous Tank Reactor, assuming perfect mixing in the container.
Why is this a reactor?
For an ideal approach, the CCMV capsid could be considered as reactor with an accumulation of the product inside the capsid. An analysis of a reactor is a common in chemical engineering. The reactor proposed is a complete opposite type from tubular plug-flow and stirred batch reactors, or a continuous stirred tank reactor and can be very useful when studying the behavior of a gas, liquid or solid.
The reactor's behavior is modeled by a Semi-Continuous Tank Reactor, assuming perfect mixing in the container.
Enzymatic Reaction
The general reaction scheme is described as follows:\begin{equation} E + S \leftrightarrow ES \rightarrow E^0 + P \end{equation}
With a reaction rate of:\begin{equation} \frac{d[ES]}{dt}=k_1[E][S]-k_{-1}[ES]-k_2[ES] \end{equation}
This equation is affected by the constants k1 , k-1 and k2.
Mass balance
Material balances are important, as a first step in devising a new process (or analyzing an existing one). They are almost always a prerequisite for all calculations for process engineering problems. The concept of mass balance is based on the physical principle that matter cannot be either created nor destroyed, only transformed. The law of mass transformation balances describe the mass of the inputs of the process with the output, as waste, products or emissions. This whole process is accounting for the material used in a reaction. Applying a mass balance to our system we obtained:
Input =F0, Appearance =V(rP), Disappearance =V(-rS) and Accumulation = \(\frac{d[P]}{dt}\)\begin{equation} \frac{d[P]}{dt}=F_0+V(r_P)-V(-r_S) \end{equation}
The inlet flow was determined by diffusion. A mass balance, applied to a spherical envelope is described as:\begin{equation} \frac{d}{dr}(r^2N_{Ar})=0 \end{equation}
where NAr represents molar flux. When NBr=0 we obtain\begin{equation} \frac{d}{dr}(r^2\frac{cD_{AB}}{1-x_A}\frac{dx_A}{dr})=0 \end{equation}
At a constant temperature the product (cDAB) is equally constant and xA=1-xB, the equation can be integrated into the following expression:\begin{equation} F_A=4\pi r_1^2N_{Ar}|_{r=r1}= \frac{4\pi cD_{AB}}{1/r_1-1/r_2} \ln\frac{x_{B2}}{x_{B1}} \end{equation}
where ''x'' are the fractions, ''c'' is the concentration and ''r'' are the respective radius.
This equation defines the nanoreactor inflow.
We neglect the possibility of an outflow of species because:
- The gradient of concentration of S tends to stay inside the capsid
- The positive charge in the outside of the VLP made a repulsion of the specie S
- An evident agglomeration of specie P will increase it size and remain inside
Diffusion coefficient
For S and P being ionic silver and reduced silver respectively. The ionic silver diffusion coefficient in solution is described by Nerst's equation (1888):
- F = Faraday's constant [A·s/geq]
- DAB° = Diffusion coefficient at infinite dilution [m2/s]
- λ+°= Cationic conductivity at infinite dilution
- λ-° = Anionic conductivity at infinite dilution
- Z+= Cation valence
- Z- = Anionic valence
- T = Absolute temperature [K]
Boiling temperature
Via Joback's method, we estimate the normal boiling temperature:
in which ''Nk'' is the number of times that the contribution group is present in the compound.
Critical temperature
Using a similar approach, also by Joback, we estimate the critical temperature:
Table 1. Joback's Method Contribution
The conductivity of the compound is determined by the Sastri method:\begin{equation} \lambda_L=\lambda_ba^m \end{equation}
where *''λL'' = thermic conductivity of the liquid [ W/(m·K)] *''λb'' = thermic conductivity at normal boiling point [ W/(m·K)] *''Tbr'' = ''Tb/Tc'' = normal boiling reduced temperature *''Tr'' = ''T/Tc'' = reduced temperature *''Tc'' = critical temperature [K]
and\begin{equation} m=1-\bigg(\frac{1-T_r}{1-T_{br}}\bigg)^n \end{equation}
with a = 0.16 and n = 0.2 for the compound.
Table 2. Sastri's Contributions
Euler Method
Every time we propose a Matter Balance is quietly easy to assume a Steady-State, but in real life we could spec some disturbances in the out-flux stream caused by the Accumulation. The Accumulation of substance inside the reactor is highly common and when the capsid of the CCMV simulates a reactor it is not an exception. In this case an agglomeration of Silver Nano-particles of different sizes will be notorious and it is described by solving the differential equations of concentration of product in function of time, presented in the Mass Balance previously described. A common method to approach the change within time is by the numeric method of Euler. Suppose that we want to approximate the solution of the initial value problem:\(y'(t) = f(t,y(t)), \qquad \qquad y(t_0)=y_0\)
Choose a value h for the size of every step and set tn = t0 + nh. Now, one step of the Euler method from tn to tn + 1 = tn + h is\(y_{n+1} = y_n + hf(t_n,y_n)\)
The value of is an approximation of the solution to the ODE at time : . The Euler method is explicit, i.e. the solution is an explicit function of for .
While the Euler method integrates a first-order ODE, any ODE of order N can be represented as a first-order ODE: to treat the equation:\(y^{(N)}(t) = f(t, y(t), y'(t), \ldots, y^{(N-1)}(t)\)
we introduce auxiliary variables and obtain the equivalent equation\begin{equation} \mathbf{z}'(t) = \begin{pmatrix} z_1'(t)\\ \vdots\\ z_{N-1}'(t)\\ z_N'(t) \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} y'(t)\\ \vdots\\ y^{(N-1)}(t)\\ y^{(N)}(t) \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} z_2(t)\\ \vdots\\ z_N(t)\\ f(t,z_1(t),\ldots,z_N(t)) \end{pmatrix} \end{equation}
This is a first-order system in the variable and can be handled by Euler's method or, in fact, by any other scheme for first-order systems.
Applying the method to our system, the differential equation are\begin{equation}\frac{dC_E}{dt}=-k_1C_EC_S+k_{-1}C_{ES}+k_2C_{ES}\end{equation} \begin{equation}\frac{dC_S}{dt}=-k_1C_EC_S+\frac{F_S}{V_{reactor}}\end{equation} \begin{equation}\frac{dC_{ES}}{dt}=k_1C_EC_S-k_{-1}C_{ES}-k_2C_{ES}\end{equation} \begin{equation}\frac{dC_P}{dt}=k_2C_{ES}\end{equation}
For a and with and
Considering a volume of capsid and enzyme respectively we obtained:
A tendency analysis of graphs was made for each figure.
- Figure 1: It is a fact that a continuous inflow flux of substrate within time is represented; this fact will lead an accumulation of material inside the reactor.
Figure 1.- Substrate concentration within time
- Figure 2: It could be appreciated a decrement in concentration of pure enzyme because the matter agglomeration effect, which leads an increment of enzyme-substrate concentration inside the capsid, making more possible to find this last state of enzyme within time.
Figure 2.- Enzyme and Enzyme-Substrate concentrations within time
- Figure 3: It is easily noticed that production of silver nanoparticles rise proportional with the inlet flux considering that all flux react forming the complex enzyme-substrate.
Figure 3.- Product concentration within time
- Figure 4: It describes the real percentage of volume required to "Figure 1" reach equilibrium. For a set time of 1.5 ms it requires 1061% of available volume.
Figure 4.- Percentage of occupied volume in reactor within time
A second analysis for the real reactor volume will be made, representing the theoretical maximum value.
In figures 5, 7 and 8 the same behavior as the previous figures 1, 3 and 4, respectively, analysis are appreciated. In figure 6 a constant relative concentration for enzyme and the complex enzyme-substrate, demonstrating that our system is an appropriate media for the reduction reaction of ionic silver. This phenomenon is explained by the approach of non-declined enzymatic activity for the available small volume (3053nm3).

NEW YORK — Looking to deliver "an honest view" of the retail environment, Kline & Co. has created a new research tool dubbed Shop Scout: A Mobile View of U.S. Beauty Shopper Behavior, which will be published monthly beginning fourth quarter 2014.
The research service is designed to deliver unrivaled access to shopper opinions and insights captured while they are in the retail environment. Using GPS technology, shoppers will offer an honest view of the retail environment as they experience it while in Kline's tailor-made geo-fences, as well as feedback on what is going through their minds during the decision-making process to make — or not to make — a beauty purchase. The results will be delivered via an interactive business dashboard.
Kline will team up with a mobile sample and solutions provider to create custom digitized geo-fences based on the addresses of specific retailers in three purchase channels: department stores, mass outlets and specialty stores. Kline will capture and collect data from a large sample of consumers who have opted into its partner's panel as they enter and exit designated geo-fences (i.e., passive monitoring).
The service will help subscribers to:
- Experience a fresh, innovative way of understanding shopper behavior while consumers are in stores;
- Monitor the frequency and duration of store visits by geo-fence and demographics (e.g., age, gender, race);
- Compare and contrast shopping by geo-fence (i.e., purchase channel) across a milieu of benchmarks;
- Leverage Kline's sample and geo-fences to create custom surveys specific to their business needs;
- Gauge how consumers rate their shopping experience and satisfaction by geo-fence;
- Quantify how satisfaction levels change each quarter; and
- Visualize the shopping experience with photos from real shoppers.

As Prepared for Delivery
The fact that we are here together as we prepare for Cambodia's Third National Nutrition Day. This year's theme -- "Improved Sanitation, Hygiene and Nutrition Make Children Grow" – is not only a fact, it's a call to action. It is also a strong testament to Cambodia's continued commitment to improve nutrition for mothers and children.
As many of you know, the Global Health Security Agenda is an international partnership that aims to create a world safe and secure from infectious disease threats. Since launching in February 2014, more than 50 countries have endorsed it; and through it, the U.S. Government has committed to establishing a global capacity to address and respond to devastating diseases from animals, humans, and the environment.
This workshop is an excellent opportunity for WorldFish, the Fisheries Administration, and USAID to share with the public information about this important project. The Rice Field Fisheries Project is another example of the U.S. government's continued commitment to help Cambodia reach three significant milestones in its economic development.
On behalf of USAID, it's my privilege to welcome you here today to this national consultation on the draft Regional Guidelines on Public Participation in Environmental Impact Assessment, or EIA. The U.S. government has been a committed and active advocate of regional cooperation on EIAs. We see EIAs as an important tool to achieve sustainable development in the Lower Mekong region.

Army Archerd's power of the pen
Army Archerd, a longtime columnist for Variety who wrote glowingly of Hollywood, died yesterday at 87. The many obituaries pouring out indicate he was a beloved figure in the entertainment industry, widely respected for his 50-year tenure in a business where longevity is rare. Archerd died at UCLA Medical Center of mesothelioma, a lung cancer related to asbestos exposure that occurred during his WWII Navy service.
Archerd was widely envied for his illustrious list of contacts. Over the course of his career, he interviewed Hollywood legends from moguls Louis B. Mayer, Samuel Goldwyn, Harry Cohn and the Warner brothers to Oscar-winning actors Michael Douglas and Denzel Washington. He wrote well of movie stars during Hollywood's "golden age," a time before TMZ and entertainment tabloids stripped much of the glamour from celebrity.
But Archerd wasn't always a soft-peddler. He knew when to use his outrage and assert his influence. Raised in what he called a "very Jewish home," his values were deeply set and unshakable. "I have an antenna for any indications of prejudice in the industry, including, but not only, anti-Semitism," he told The Journal's Tom Tugend in 2003. Indeed, according to Variety, when Michael Jackson released his 1995 album "HIStory," Archerd criticized the King of Pop for the anti-Semitic lyrics "Jew me/Sue me" and "Kike me." Jackson recanted and promised Archerd he would re-record the song. Another time, Archerd called Marlon Brando out for using an anti-Semitic slur in an interview.
After he wrote about the suicide bombing at Hebrew University's cafeteria, he was honored by American Friends of Hebrew University, who noticed Archerd's increasingly pro-Israel message.
Archerd's career chronicled the rise of Hollywood in American culture and as such, he became an integral part of its society. Archerd hosted lavish parties at his home for the likes of Gregory Peck, Jack Lemmon, Kirk Douglas and Elizabeth Taylor and was one of only a few journalists who earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 9 (CXCL9), also known as Monokine induced by gamma interferon (MIG), is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family. The function of this chemokine has not been specifically defined; however, it is thought to be involved in T cell trafficking. CXCL9/MIG functions as one of the three ligands of chemokine receptor CXCR3 which is a G protein-coupled receptor found predominantly on T cells. CXCL9/MIG, together with CXCL10 and CXCL11, may activate CXCR3 by binding to it. CXCL9 serves as a cytokine that affects the growth, movement, or activation state of cells that participate in immune and inflammatory response. It has been observed that tumour endothelial cells secrete high levels of CXCL9 in all, and CXCL10 in most melanoma metastases. Experiment data represent novel mechanisms by which tumour cells in melanoma metastases might use the chemokine-expressing endothelium to leave the tumour and eventually to form additional metastases at distinct sites. Experiment results also improved that CXCL9/MIG plays an important role in CD4+ T lymphocyte recruitment and development of CAV, MOMA-2+ macrophages are the predominant recipient-derived source of CXCL9/MIG, and recipient CD4 lymphocytes are necessary for sustained CXCL9/MIG production and CAV development in this model. Neutralization of the chemokine CXCL9/MIG may have therapeutic potential for the treatment of chronic rejection after heart transplantation.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 13/10/2011 (2107 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
At first glance, this industrial park intersection appears harmless.
It's sandwiched between an open field, an auto-parts business office and a Tim Hortons. Area workers pop by for a coffee, residents cut through to the Maples, and other traffic zips across Inkster Boulevard to get to major routes such as McPhillips and Keewatin streets.
But Manitoba Public Insurance data obtained through a freedom-of-information request reveals the corner of Inkster Boulevard and Sheppard Street has been the site of some of the most costly traffic injuries reported in Winnipeg during the last decade.
An internal MPI report shows that between June 2002 and June 2010, more than $6.4 million in traffic injuries were reported here -- that's nearly three times the total cost of collision injuries at the city's most accident-prone intersections, including Kenaston and McGillivray boulevards, and Leila Avenue and McPhillips Street.
On average, each of the 86 collisions reported at Inkster and Sheppard caused $74,658 in bodily injuries.
Higher bodily injury costs mean that severe -- or catastrophic -- crashes were reported at that intersection. MPI spokesman Brian Smiley said one major crash that kills or leaves someone with a severe brain injury can cost the public insurer millions.
The report also reveals Manitoba has one of highest rates of traffic-related injuries in Canada. It lists Winnipeg's 50 worst intersections for traffic injuries, which cost MPI nearly $90 million in total injury claims during an eight-year period.
MPI shares its findings with the City of Winnipeg, but to date, traffic engineers have not done a safety or engineering audit of Inkster and Sheppard -- or several other top intersections where costly injuries have been reported -- to see if any improvements are necessary.
"We would be overstepping our boundaries to say to the City of Winnipeg, 'Listen you need to do something here,' " said Smiley, who noted MPI's role is to educate drivers about how to reduce the likelihood of collisions.
City spokeswoman Tammy Melesko said engineers review intersections before capital projects -- such as major road upgrades to Kenaston Boulevard -- but a fatal or serious crash does not necessarily prompt a safety review. Earlier this year, Winnipeg public works staff told the Free Press they analyze collision data when concerns are raised. They also keep tabs on vehicle volume because intersections are likely to need improvements when more cars travel a particular route.
Officials from the city's public works department were unavailable to comment further on Thursday.
So far this year, 11 people have died on city streets, including a 55-year-old woman killed Wednesday night on Lagimodière Boulevard near the Concordia overpass. Another 88 have been killed on Manitoba highways.
Officials in Edmonton were able to identify $13 million in infrastructure improvements after they screened intersections using data that compared the cost of fatal accidents, injuries and damage at each location. Gerry Shimko, director of Edmonton's office of traffic safety, said the information helped determine which intersections saw the most frequent and most severe crashes.
From there, he said engineers examined the cause of collisions and found that a particular right-turn design contributed to many of the crashes.
In one case, Shimko said changing the right turn at an intersection reduced the number of collisions to zero from 100 every three years.
He said a one-time investment in better intersection design can save millions in other long-term collision costs.
"They contribute to an increase in taxes for the city, increase in insurance payments, workers' compensation and health care costs," Shimko said. "Nobody looks at those (and says), 'If you reduce injury collisions by 10 per cent how much less waiting time would there be (for) people going for elective surgery?' because they get bumped when people come in with injuries from a motor vehicle collision."
Smiley said he doesn't know why Manitoba has a higher rate of traffic-related injuries than other parts of the country, but it could be related to weather conditions. The report said injury collisions reported in December and January accounted for 22 per cent of all injury crashes reported between 2004 and 2009.
In June 2003, a 12-year-old boy was sent to hospital in critical condition with a head injury after a van struck him at Inkster and Sheppard. More recently, 19-year-old Melissa Ranville was killed in a hit-and-run while walking near the intersection in August 2009.

By Mel Antonen, USA TODAY
In each of the Tampa Bay Rays' first 10 seasons, the only question halfway through was whether the team could avoid a 100-loss season.
Not this season.
For the first time in their history, the Rays are on pace for 98 wins instead of 90-plus losses.
And, tonight, the Rays, who have lost at least 90-plus games in every season they've ever played, return home to protect their half-game lead in the American League East against the second-place Boston Red Sox.
The Rays (49-32) moved into first place with a 4-3 road win against the Pittsburgh Pirates Sunday while the Red Sox lost 3-2 in Houston to the Astros.
Tampa Bay's 49 wins at the end of the first half are the most games won by any team after having the majors' worst record the season before.
Boston leads Tampa Bay 6-3 in the season series, sweeping the Rays in two series at Fenway Park. But, the Rays swept the Red Sox in their only series at Tampa Bay.
"This series right now is the biggest series for that franchise," Red Sox shortstop Julio Lugo, who used to play for Tampa Bay, told the Boston Herald.
The Rays, who have three 100-loss seasons and two others with 99 losses, are no fluke.
They are winning with pitching, defense and a lineup that has a group of young players that's only going to get better. Their 41-21 record since April 22 is the best in baseball.
Last season, Tampa Bay had the worst bullpen in the league, but this season, Rays relievers have a 3.17 ERA, fourth-best in the AL.
The Rays are 30-13 at Tropicana Field. The defense has made 21 errors, second-fewest in the majors. And, the Rays' rotation is set so that the team's top three starters –James Shields, Matt Garza and lefty Scott Kazmir– will each pitch against Boston. None of those starters has an ERA higher than 3.76. And rookie third baseman Evan Longoria has 15 home runs, even though he started the season in the minors.
Sunday in Pittsburgh, starter Andy Sonnanstine won his ninth game, despite the Rays' defense not having its typical day. Manager Joe Maddon told the St. Petersburg Times that the defense made some "glaring mistakes," and has "taken a few steps back the past week to 10 days," with 12 errors in the last 10 games.
"We've come to the park every single day expecting to win," Sonnanstine said. "Last year, if we were tied 2-2 in the middle of the game, it always felt like we were down a couple of runs. Not with this team. We feel we can some pretty major things."
And, there's bitterness between the Rays and Red Sox. In their June 5 game, Shields' fastball hit Red Sox outfielder Coco Crisp and a brawl followed. Eight players, including five Rays, were suspended. Crisp served a five-game suspension and Shields six.
West Coast showdown
The Rays-Red Sox series isn't the only matchup of first- and second-place teams in a division. The Los Angeles Angels and Oakland Athletics play in L.A. tonight with the Angels holding a 4½-game over Oakland in the American League West.
The Angels have beaten the Athletics four of seven this season, but the Angels' big problem is scoring runs. They beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 1-0 Sunday behind starter John Lackey, who allowed three hits in 8 2/3 innings.
Lackey's win came a day after Angels pitchers Jered Weaver and Jose Arredondo combined for an eight-inning no-hitter and lost 1-0 to the Dodgers.
The Angels, who signed outfielder Torii Hunter to a $90 million contract in the offseason, are 12th in the American League in runs scored (340), ninth in home runs (67) and tied for 11th in team average (.256).
Angels hitting coach Mickey Hatcher said that he's going to have a different agenda when he meets with his batters before tonight's game against Oakland. "When we get home, we're going to have a meeting and figure out how many of these guys are trying to get me fired," Hatcher told the Los Angeles Times.
The Angels hit .161 in three games vs. the Dodgers, but because of their pitching, they won for a big-league high 16th time while scoring three or fewer runs.
In their last 16 games, the Angels have struck out 53 times with nine walks. "The last few days in that locker room, I don't know how to describe it, but it is not the same time," Hatcher said. "The energy level is real low. Sometimes that happens when you travel coast-to-coast."
Hatcher said he wants his team to be aggressive on fastballs in the zone. "I tell them pitchers aren't going to throw you breaking balls for strikes. They're swinging at bad pitches."
The Athletics, who lost 11-1 to the San Francisco Giants Sunday, are similar to the Angels in that they have strong pitching, but not a lot of offense. Oakland's pitching staff had a 3.42 ERA, third-best in the AL, and their offense has scored 357 runs, 10th-best in the league.
Third baseman Eric Chavez, who has been bothered by a sore right shoulder, and outfielder Ryan Sweeney, out with a sprained left ankle, could be back in the Athletics' lineup tonight.
Chavez hasn't started at third base since June 21, but he played catch and hit in the batting cage Sunday, and the Athletics say that he should be ready. Sweeney injured his ankle sliding into home plate Thursday against Philadelphia.
The Athletics are 15-10 during June, meaning they have a winning record in June for seven consecutive seasons.
Halfway through the season, Oakland manager Bob Geren told The San Francisco Chronicle, that pitching has been carrying the team: "We are trying to scratch out runs any way we can for our pitching staff. That being said, we have a whole second half of the season to get the offense going."
Tigers inch above .500
The Detroit Tigers, who have had expectations of winning the World Series since trading for pitcher Dontrelle Willis and third baseman Miguel Cabrera in the offseason, finally have a winning record. Now, they are taking aim at the second-place Minnesota Twins.
The Tigers, who beat the Colorado Rockies 4-3 at home Sunday to finish a three-game sweep, were 13-5 during interleague play to increase their record to 41-40, their first winning record of the season.
Monday, they are in Minnesota to begin a three-game series against the Twins, who had a 10-game winning streak during interleague play to finish the schedule 14-4.
Detroit is 17-4 since losing June 6 to Cleveland, and now the Tigers, third place in the American League Central, are five games behind the Chicago White Sox in the American League Central while the second-place Twins are 1½ games out.
Each team will be without a run-producing right-fielder. The Twins put Michael Cuddyer on the disabled list with a finger injury and the Tigers' Magglio Ordonez is out with a pulled muscle on his right side.
"We're still in that feeling-each-other-out phase," said Tigers closer Todd Jones told the Detroit Free Press after picking up his 15th save Sunday. "The heavy sparring will come later on in the year. But, we're definitely up to the challenge, and I'm sure they are too."
The Tigers will use Miguel Cabrera in the cleanup spot in Ordonez's absence and manager Jim Leyland has several options for right field, including Matt Joyce, Ryan Raburn, Marcus Thames and Clete Thomas.
"Can you replace Magglio, a .360 hitter?" Tigers manager Jim Leyland asked. "No you can't. If you think you can, you're crazy. You try to pick and choose a little bit, fool with it a little it and hopefully someone will get hot for a period of time."
Ordonez was hitting .427 this season vs. the Twins, who have won five of eight from the Tigers this season.
The Twins' pitching has been outstanding in June, and the offense has picked up as well: Outfielder Delmon Young, who has been silent with the bat during the first two months after coming over in a trade from Tampa Bay, is hitting .325 during June. Jason Kubel is at .329 for June while Justin Morneau is at .308 and Joe Mauer at .333.
The Twins' bullpen has not given up an earned run in 21 1/3 innings.
And, the Twins are excited about lefty Francisco Liriano returning, but they aren't setting a timetable. Liriano, who missed last season because of elbow surgery, has had a consistent string of good starters at Class AAA.
Liriano was 12-3 with a 2.16 ERA for the Twins in 2006 before his injury.
"We don't know if it is going to be next week or next month," says Twins general manager Bill Smith about Liriano's return to the big leagues. "It could be August or September or opening day next season. We only want to make one more move with him, and bring him to the big leagues when he's ready to be here and to stay."
Piniella believes in Chisox
Chicago Cubs manager Lou Piniella thinks that the White Sox, who swept the Cubs over the weekend, will win the division anyway.
"The White Sox should win that division by a half a dozen games or more, if you want to know the truth," Piniella told reporters over the weekend. "They have just about everything that you need. They have power. They have a good defensive team and they have a heck of a bullpen. They have good starters."
The White Sox pitching staff has the lowest ERA in the league at 3.39 and their relievers have thrown only 213 2/3 innings, second fewest in the league.
Big Z on track
Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano, who has been on the disabled list since June 19 with a strained right shoulder, threw 60 pitches in a bullpen session Sunday and says that he will be ready to join the rotation Friday in St. Louis. He's scheduled to throw again on Tuesday, but doesn't expect any problems.
Still, the Cubs might be in the market for another starting pitcher, the Chicago Tribune reports.
Who's hot?
•Oliver Perez (6-5) pitched seven strong innings in the New York Mets' 3-1 win against the New York Yankees. He retired the first 10 batters he faced and struck out eight without a walk. Perez is 5-1 with a 2.61 ERA in six career starts against the Yankees, including a win last month at Yankee Stadium.
• The Washington Nationals are having a horrible season, but they do provide some excitement at their new ballpark. The Nationals beat the Baltimore Orioles 3-2 Sunday on Ronnie Belliard's two-run home run in the last of the 12th inning.
Who's not?
The punchless San Diego Padres have lost eight consecutive games after getting beat by the Seattle Mariners 9-2 on Sunday. And, Padres management is thinking that they could be sellers as the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline approaches, team president Sandy Alderson told The San Diego Union-Tribune.

Fox & Friends Uses Al Jazeera Footage After Host Called It A "Trojan Horse For Terror"
A week after Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy called Al Jazeera's expansion into American television a "trojan horse for terror," the show used exclusive footage from Al Jazeera to report on a deadly tourism accident in Egypt.
Following the announcement [1] that Al Jazeera was purchasing Current TV to expand into U.S. markets, Doocy asked [2] last week if Al Jazeera America would be a "Trojan Horse for terror." The following on-screen graphic was displayed when Doocy made his comments:
Doocy's smear did not stop Fox & Friends from airing Al Jazeera's footage of a hot air balloon crash [3] in Egypt that killed 19 tourists. The footage included on-screen text identifying it as "Al Jazeera Exclusive."
Fox host Bill O'Reilly also recently attacked [4] Al Jazeera, claiming that if you "misbehave ... on Al Jazeera, they behead you," and that Current TV's hosts [5] were "going to be given burqas" before reporting on Al Jazeera America.
Fox News has previously used [6] both Al Jazeera's live feed and its reporting during the Arab Spring protests, despite criticizing President Obama for reportedly watching the network's reporting.

Volume 7, Issue 5: Cultura
Roy Atwood
The image of men in American culture isn't pretty. In the media world of stereotypes
and caricatures, men often appear as bizarre creatures, from wimpy nincompoops
to supermacho beefcakes to almost everything in between. In the mirror of American
pop culture, men are faithless husbands, weak fathers, and moral mutants.
When not mocking men for groveling at the feet of superior women and children
( a la Homer Simpson), television and film fantasize about men being self-made
tough guys who blow away their enemies and possess irresistible sexual prowess
with "the babes" ( a la Arnold Swartzenegger). As grotesque, pathetic, and extreme
as these media images may be, they are remarkably accurate representations of
the contemporary state of unregenerate man. They are not, of course, a prescription
for what men should be, but an accurate description of what sinful men have

First of all, if your battery has already failed and you are at all in a rush to replace the battery DO NOT do it through the mail. Next, upon opening the package I was put off by the fact that there were absolutely not instructions on how to remove the old battery and install the new one. This replacement procedure is not for the faint of heart. It is a very delicate and tedious process. This was my first iPhone battery exchange and it took me, an experienced electrical engineer almost 4 hours. Next, the kit does NOT contain all the tools you will need. At a minimum you will need a very small jewelers philips screwdriver, and a magnifying glass or something equivalent. I found instructions eventually on the internet that showed how to disassemble the iPhone. It is a very lengthy process. Set up a well lighted area and also an area where a dropped screw smaller than a BB will not get lost. My greatest fear was that I would either misplace one of the very small parts, or reassemble the device incorrectly. I had to eventually trim a plastic tab on the battery so that it would seat properly so that the motherboard would fit in properly. I have found no instructions anywhere about this problem. There are many micro ribbon cables that are disassembled and eventually reassembled. You cannot really tell if it is done properly. I also wondered if the average person would be aware of the problems associated with not grounding yourself properly and thereby causing a static charge to destroy one of the circuits. All in all, I would have gladly paid the additional cost to have an experience person take on the responsibility to do it instead of me. I would not even attempt it again. However, I was successful. The replacement battery is great. It holds a much better charge than the one I had, even when it was new. We will now see how long this battery lasts (the real test).Read More
I had a totally dead phone and made a decision to try and replace the battery. Great choice, if you are somewhat technical you can do it. if not bring it to someone who is and buy them a beer. Either way you are going to be completely satisfied. Product shipped promptly and was as advertised. I will be buying more as i am going to start making some extra cash and do iPhone repair. LOLRead More
Strongly suggest to be done by apple. \Ruined phone 3GS in trying to open. Thought being tech savy and having 16 step instructions would be enough. Can not comment on battery since it was never used.Read More
The battery is of high quality, the tools... not so much. But if you follow the videos that are out there on youtube, you should be able to get this done. **MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT SEPARATE THE PHONE AT THE CHROME RING!!!** When the screws are removed, the screen actually lifts out (it takes a bit of force due to a rubber o-ring), but the glass is what you remove. If you separate the phone at the chrome you will break it... as I did.. That being said, once I repaired the board, the battery is holding fine.

The product was just as advertised and just what I needed. With instructions and videos found on the internet I was able to use these tools to replace the battery myself.Read More
Don't bother trying to replace the battery on your iPhone. I followed the instructional video and destroyed my phone. The connections on my phone were slightly different than the video. Pay the $80 and have Apple replace the battery - it will save you money in the long run.Read More
This works fine, and the battery holds up nicely now. This repair is not for the faint of heart - you should know how to work with fine tools, good German ones, and be prepared to spend money on a system board if you get sloppy. Use a lot of light, breathe normally, and everything will be fine. Follow the online instructions and get the plastic toolkit - you need them to keep from breaking things! I gave it five stars because everything went well - your mileage may vary though...Read More

Cell Phones
Phone Service Providers
Dan Sherman
Don't get me started on phone service providers. Well, okay, I am already started, so may as well continue.
First, there are decent, honest, and truly concerned phone service providers that do not jam you with charges with technical names from technical jargon you will never understand so succumb to paying, that do not ignore your cries for help when you are moving and need only transfer your info and services, that do cater, smile, and provide. For example, when I moved to a temporary hovel a year ago (while I searched for the ideal, quiet, remote area to settle and write without interruption of dogs barking, criminals thieving, drug addicts interfering, or gun shots startling…), I had to call the two phone service providers I had been with for years.
One had an employee who explained to me the charges of switching over my DSL, relocating services, etc. That would take days, would require a deposit (again with the deposit…one that you never seem to get back), would demand a set-up and installation fee, would necessitate a new this fee and a flip such and such switch charges, etc. etc.
This new king of phone service providers (having taken over or merged with others…etc.) sent a technician, based on SPECIFIC dates I had PURPOSELY arranged for obsessively inquiring that day I had called that the service be a smooth in transition as possible, especially since I had given the advance notice and was paying insane fees to do so (as I work online and need to satisfy clients, duh).
The technician went to the new place—where I had not moved yet as I was, as immaculately scheduled, in the old place cleaning. The technician went to the new place one day early. This would have been a lovely thing, except I WAS NOT there. Ahem. And…he left a nasty note saying I had to be there in order for him to provide me any services. No kidding. Try reading the specific, intentionally pre-arranged (by six weeks!) work order.
Of my two phone service providers, number two, however, was (and always has been) the antithesis of number one (and I use "number one" for distinction of order, not status, here, by the way). This second PSP I called when I was in the new place and had phone service, as it (the second one) is my long-distance carrier. Here's how the second interaction played out:
I get a human answering the phone at the other end.
I explain I need to 1) have my long distance transferred from old point to new point; and 2) change my billing address.
The woman types in the new information.
She then tells me to hold for a minute.
She returns in a matter of seconds and says, "You know, you could be paying a lot less for your long distance, so I crunched some numbers for you. How about X (shockingly low by 3000% of what I had been paying) per minute?"
When I thank her, gushing over her kindness and thoughtfulness at going above and beyond the usual, she responds that it is "her job"! Yuh. But how many phone service providers have employees that REALIZE when you have a job, you do that job, and you do it correctly and well?
I won't disclose the first of the phone service providers' name, but I will tell you that the second is good old AT&T. Rock on with your bad selves.

Shakespeare Electronic Conference, Vol. 5, No. 0153. Friday, 25 February 1994.
Date: Thursday, 24 Feb 94 15:27:09 EST
Subject: Hooked on Shakespeare
In the course of the most recent Universals/Human Condition debate, the
question of literary representations and cultural specificity was markedly and
frequently raised. I noticed, in addition,that several SHAKSPERians mentioned
(however briefly) their early training in Shakespeare studies. These plays hold
meaning for us in terms of personal exposure as well as in relation to our
cultural positions. My own introduction to Shakespeare was playing Titania in
the fourth grade. I can still recite Helena's "Lo! she is one of this
confederacy" having been carefully coached by my father for the audition.
Surely participating so intensely at an early age has played a role in my
continuing interest in these plays. I would be curious to learn of the
introductory experiences of other SHAKSPERians.

The Reason Behind Taylor Swift's STFU at the MTV VMAs is Revealed [UPDATE/VIDEO]
One Direction handed out the very first award of the show, the group includes Taylor's Ex-Boyfriend Harry Styles. While the group was presenting, the camera went over to Taylor Swift, and that's when the magic began….
For some reason, the VMA producers decided to cut to Taylor Swift about once every 60 seconds or so throughout the night.
One of the moments, of course, was when the members of One Direction started talking…

UPDATE: Ed Sheeran was recently asked about the reasoning behind the cuss word. Ed explained, 'Taylor was simply reacting to something Selena said to her. "Selena said to her, 'I think Miley's gonna win the award,'" referring to the category of Best Pop Video, which both Selena and Miley were up for. "And Taylor said, 'Oh, shut the f**k up!'"

A hitch is a horrible thing to waste. Yet how often do you actually have a trailer attached to the hitch receiver on the back of your pickup truck?
Just as we suspected: not very often. So, as we wandered around the most recent Special Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show, we took note of a vast array of accessories designed to put some giddy-up in your hitch:
You can grille and go with this stainless steel propane grill with 30,000-BTU burners, 650-degree (Fahrenheit) capability and 384 square inches of cooking area. A pass-through collar allows use of an extended ball mount so the grill can ride along while your pickup tows a trailer or camper.
This pass-through feature was developed during prototype testing: tailgating at San Diego Chargers football games, where others who saw the prototype said they liked it, but wanted to be able to still use their hitch for towing. Imagine that!
Scott Salter and his buddies love to tailgate, and Salter was excited when his wife bought a new SUV, and then disappointed when she announced his greasy grill wasn't going into her nice clean cargo area. So Salter went to work. He devised a hitch-mounted grill with a 180-degree swing-out arm so the grill can be transported behind your truck, then swung out to the side so you have access to the bed while dinner's cooking. There's also a stand available so the grill can be moved from your truck to your back yard or patio.
A kickstand helps support the grill when it's swung into cooking position.
The hitch mount accepts a lock so the grill can be secured to the vehicle while you're in the stadium, out on the water or hiking or hunting.
David Mendoza's ShowFX Inc. does special effects and builds stage equipment for the entertainment industry, "particularly," he says, "for rock 'n' roll and rap musicians, and those guys often have some pretty special vehicles. One day I was at one client's rehearsal and was looking at his vehicle and it had a rear-view camera. I thought it was a great feature for someone like me, with young kids, something more people should be able to buy."
But Mendoza didn't like the way a hole for the camera lens had been drilled into the vehicle's body, so he went to work with his engineers and machinists and came up with a camera mount that fits into a standard two-inch receiver hitch.
A keyed lock secures the camera and also makes it easy to remove when you need to use the hitch for towing.
A cable connects the camera with a 3.5-inch LCD monitor that mounts on the windshield next to the inside rearview mirror. Installation time, says Mendoza, is around 20 minutes, most of that spent threading the cable along the truck's headliner.
Rear-view cameras, which are being installed as original equipment in larger sport utility vehicles, provide a view behind your vehicle so you don't back up over a bicycle, pet or child.

ST. LOUIS Heavy rain in parts of Missouri caused flooding Thursday along many of the state's rivers, and with more rain forecast, flood watchers were crossing their fingers that things don't get worse.
Parts of northeast and central Missouri received up to 3 inches of rain Wednesday night and Thursday morning, causing rivers ranging from small tributaries to the big ones — the Missouri and the Mississippi — to overtop their banks.
Mark Fuchs, a hydrologist for the National Weather Service in suburban St. Louis, said the forecast for the next five days calls for even more rain. For now, the forecast is for only minor to moderate flooding — nothing comparable to last summer's near-record events — but Fuchs is watching the rainfall amounts closely.
"I'm a little bit nervous about what's going to happen in the next week or so," Fuchs said. "The rivers are up, so if we get any decent rainfall event, we could see some substantial flooding if everything comes together the wrong way."
For now, the worst of it appeared to be along the Missouri River in mid-Missouri. In Jefferson City, the Missouri was at 9.1 feet on Monday. By Thursday morning, it was at 26 feet, 3 feet above flood stage, and causing problems.
A big section of a state employee parking lot near the state Capitol was closed. Flooding closed part of a state highway that traces the river west of town.
The emergency management office for Columbia and Boone County warned residents of potential flooding dangers. A low-water crossing was closed near the area known as Cooper's Landing.
Near Glasgow, a ferry that crosses the Missouri was forced out of service due to the high water. Small agricultural levees were being threatened near Glasgow and Boonville. Some portions of the Katy Trail, the hiking-biking path that runs parallel to the Missouri River, were closed in the middle of the state.
Small rivers were proving troublesome, too. The Platte River was nearly 9 feet above flood stage in western Missouri's Platte City, though city administrator Jason Metten said no significant problems were reported. The Grand River at Chillicothe was more than 8 feet above flood stage. And the North River at Palmyra in northeast Missouri was high enough to close some county roads.
The Mississippi was inching above flood stage from Clarksville south. The National Weather Service was predicting only minor flooding in towns like Winfield and Cape Girardeau. The Mississippi was expected to crest just inches below flood stage at St. Louis.

1000 log books were issued to anglers of which 236 were returned, those from the rivers Derwent, Kent, Lune and Ribble accounted for the vast majority. The Derwent had the highest catch rate of these rivers: one salmon every 13.89 hours followed by the Lune, Kent and Ribble at 16.39, 18.87 and 35.71 hours, respectively. For sea trout the Lune, Derwent and Ribble had a catch rate of approximately one fish every 10.0 hours (9.8, 10.0 and 10.64 hours),and for the Kent one fish per 16.1 hours fished. Salmon angling visits were, in general,longer than those for sea trout being between 2 and 6 hours as opposed to 2 to 4 hours. On the majority of visits (>80%) no fish were caught and was the same for salmon and sea trout. For salmon the majority of fish were caught on fly, spinner or worm, and the least on prawn. For sea trout fly predominated. The majority of salmon caught were less than 91b in weight and were presumed to be grilse (1 sea winter). The majority of the sea trout caught weighed between 1 and 31b. The pattern of catch, effort, CPUE, abundance and catchability for salmon and sea trout were modelled using the data from the rivers Derwent, Kent and Lune. Flow significantly influenced catch, effort and catchability of salmon which had entered in a particular month. For sea trout flow was not significantly correlated with any of the dependent variables. The catchability coefficient for salmon, determined from the total number of fish, remained relatively constant over the period June to October indicating that CPUE was a reasonable measure of within season abundance. This was not found to be the case for sea trout.

Indigenous people have always celebrated the four elements of earth, air, water and fire because of the life-giving gifts they bring to us. They ensure our very survival on this planet.
The Zoroastrian religion, a pre-Islamic, monotheistic faith founded by the prophet Zarathustra, in sixth-century B.C. Persia (now Iran) paid homage to the four elements by assigning an angel to each of them. The angel of water is named Anahita.
Thousands of years after Zarathustra, we contemporary earthlings might well need to become Anahita guardian-angels-in-residence to protect this most precious of resources.
Our water element is becoming an endangered species. Droughts, a climbing world population, unsustainable dam construction, political conflicts, and human disregard of consequences are putting this precious resource at major peril. Unless we act, the survival of every living thing on this planet -- plant, animal, soil, human -- could be seriously imperiled.
The North American Justice Promoters from Dominican congregations across the United States and the March edition of the Carbon Rangers/Ecozoic Times newsletter (an Edmund Rice Christian Brothers monthly publication) have both addressed the water crisis to mark March 22 as the first World Water Day.
The United Nations has instituted the day to underscore the seriousness of the issue.
At their annual meeting March 9 in Grand Rapids, Mich., the Dominican justice promoters singled out the people of Palestine to call attention to the issues of water inadequacy there. Sr. Judy Morris, a Dominican Sister of Peace, told NCR the statement "is not anti-Israel." Rather, it has to do "with water as a basic human right. Every human has the right to water," she said.
But in Palestine, having access to it is a daily struggle for people.
"Israeli settlements, which are illegal under international law and consensus, have robbed the Palestinians of water, cutting off access to their natural springs and siphoning off the supplies of their aquifer," reads the statement from the Dominican justice promoters. They then quoted findings from the World Health Organization: "This leaves West Bank Palestinians with an average of 73 litres per person each day, well below the recommended 100 liters minimum."
It contrasted West Bank settlements where each person receives up to 400 liters each day. Many use this water to maintain swimming pools and spas.
A recent UN report on settlements states that "forcible takeovers and vandalism by settlers increasingly impair access to water. ... Some of the seized springs are turned into 'tourist attractions' or recreational sites, which receive Israeli government support."
The justice promoters also called attention to Gaza, where the lack of potable water has reached crisis proportions. Only 5 percent of the water there is drinkable. Since 2007, Israel has ruled against allowing the entry of materials to rehabilitate water and wastewater systems of Gaza. The prohibition occurred on two occasions after Israeli attacks destroyed such facilities during bombing attacks in 2008 and 2012.
Declaring that it is grieved by the injustice, the group has called "for the return of both water and land rights to those from whom these have been wrongfully taken."
Edmund Rice Christian Br. Kevin Cawley, newsletter editor for the Carbon Rangers/Ecozoic Times, supplies additional information regarding the water situation. One billion people across the globe have no fresh water, and 2 billion lack basic sanitation, he writes. About 4,500 children die of water-related diseases every day, the equivalent of 10 jumbo jets falling out of the sky with no survivors.
Water shortages threaten the food future of the Arabic Middle East, the newsletter reports. During a September meeting of 40 former leaders in Oslo, Norway, former Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien said the world needs to find the equivalent of the flow of 20 Nile rivers by 2025 to grow enough food to feed a rising population and help avoid conflicts over water scarcity.
The leaders' study found that water has been a factor in other crises, such as the impact of global warming.
In another story, the newsletter talks about dam construction. Many experts are beginning to believe the problems around them outweigh the benefits of providing water and energy. They recommend replacing them with other forms of renewable energy, such as solar power and wind energy.
Cawley's newsletter also provides a Freshwater 101 quiz to help us learn how to become conscientious aquatic guardian angels. He writes: "We can each do something, especially if we are in the developed world where most of the damage is the result of how we are using up resources without regard to ultimate consequences. We can make a difference when we wake up to these facts. We can change. We can do better and then everyone will do better."
