The leaders of the world's main economies met in Cannes on 3 and 4 November 2011, hoping to agree measures to head off the spectre of a global downturn. The main focus of the sixth G20 summit centred around the need to strengthen and sustain the still fragile global economic recovery, assaulted by financial crises and austerity in Europe, budget difficulties in the US, natural disasters in Japan, political unrest in the Middle East, and food price volatility and shortages around the world.
Above all, the Cannes Summit was called on to deliver the bold new initiatives outlined by the French chair as the defining themes of the summit: regulating commodities markets, initiating a new international monetary system and modernising global governance for both the old multilateral organizations and the new G20 itself.
Featuring articles from leaders including Mexican President Felipe Calderón and President of Korea Lee Myung-bak, plus submissions from respected commentators such as Juan Somavía of the International Labour Organization and Donald Kaberuka of the African Development Bank, the G20 Cannes publication provides an essential overview of the main topics under discussion.

Would You Like S'more?
Recipe by Sharon123
Oh my goodness. So yummy and easy to make. You don't even need a campfire to get the marshmallows nice and browned around the edges. This is fun and yummy for kids and adults! I found this on a great food blog, Sweet and Savory. Thanks Alice!
Top Review by HokiesMom
Simple and chocolatey goodness all wrapped up in one little S'more! Loved the texture of the marshmallows being broiled with this method. It did only take 2 minutes in my oven so your instruction to watch carefully is a good one. I've tried all the methods possible and they are all yummy but something about getting the roasted taste without the smoke is a big bonus! Thanks Sharon for sharing. Made for your win in Tic Tac Toe 2011.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (14 ounce) box graham crackers (you will only need one sleeve)
- 1 (10 1/2 ounce) bag mini marshmallows
- 1 (12 ounce) bag chocolate chips
Directions See How It's Made
- Pre-heat oven on broil (high heat) with baking rack second rack down from the top.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Place one sleeve of graham crackers(broken in half) side by side in rows without any gaps.
- Next, spread the mini-marshmallows evenly across the graham crackers and top them off with chocolate chips.
- Place the cookie sheet in the oven with the door slightly cracked. Broil for approximately 5-10 minutes carefully watching them so they don't burn.
- Remove the cookie sheet from the oven when the marshmallows have nice golden brown edges.
- Add the remaining sleeve of graham crackers on top of the broiled smores and line them exactly like the first sleeve and press each one down gently. Allow them to cool for a few minutes and serve.
- Each cookie should pull away perfectly hot or cold.
- Note:.
- If you would like to serve these as regular cookies, allow the smores to cool for at least an hour. Pull each cookie apart and serve. Graham crackers will be nice and crunchy and the marshmallow filling will be firm but chewy. The chocolate will be hardened but tastes great!

Pletscher Double Leg Kickstands
Brand: Pletscher
Model: Twin
World Famous Pletscher BIPOD Centre Double Leg Kickstand
The Pletscher ESGE double kickstand is really helpful for anyone who carries a load on their bike. It will keep your bike upright when you are attaching things to it, and it looks really cool. So whether you are trying to attach or take off panniers on a loaded touring bike, or changing a flat tire on your commute bike the Pletscher bipod double kickstand will make your life a lot easier. Both legs fold up to one side when not in use. Swiss made. Available in Black & Silver This Unique, Swiss-made, heavy-duty, twin kickstand provides very stable support because of its double leg design. The kickstand clamps to your Chain stays (or mounts to a kickstand plate) directly behind the bottom bracket. Both legs fold up along the non-drive side of the bicycle. The ESGE kickstand is especially useful when using a single wheeled trailer such as a Bob Trailer or an Extra wheel. With an ESGE it is a breeze to park your bike and trailer as well as mount or dismount your trailer from your bicycle.
We highly recommend this kickstand for all sorts of uses where a strong stable base for your bike comes in handy. The ESGE is a must have for tandems whether or not they are pulling trailers. It is great on touring bicycles loaded with racks and panniers. For commuter and utility bikes, this kickstand eliminates hassles associated with loading and parking. Two wheeled bike cargo and bike child trailers stay upright on their own. However, when you lay your bicycle down it lowers the front end of the trailer. Using the ESGE keeps the trailer level and makes parking and loading or unloading much smoother.
The ESGE comes in one size that fits all bicycle sizes. Legs can be cut down to work better with smaller wheeled bicycles. Pletscher offers a lifetime manufacturer's warranty on the ESGE double kickstand.
- Centre Kickstand
- Patented Push spring movement
- Aluminium-die cast GD-AlSi9Cu3
- Supplied with F8 Mount Kit to colour matched to stand
- Kickstand Shoe L&R pair included and mounted
- Powder coated gloss black / metallic silver polished

- Strut length L1 Model L 320/28" (Can be trimmed with hacksaw)
- Max. Strut length 28"
- Weight Model L 542g
- Max. Load 25 kg
To prevent a sudden turning of the handlebar, we recommend to install the Hebie steering stabilizer (695 or 696)
NOTE: All Pletscher kickstands carry a Patented Spring mechanism with Patented Dampening function, and have more stability under load than any other kickstand on the market today.
A Swiss family business started in 1919 specialising in high quality aluminium die castings, reverted to bicycle-parts only production in 2004. Pletscher kickstands and carriers licensed to ESGE have been imported by Joad Sportz Supplies since 2002. Pletscher use their custom moulds to ensure perfect casting production. The brand is renowned for high quality and long life carrying a 3 year guarantee.

After the great vibes and resounding success of the City Bass re-launch we're not slowing down and next up we've got Numbers signing and eski house don Slackk for a 2 hour set with support from Rushmore bringin the Rhythm Talk sounds!!
Slackk signed to Jackmaster's Numbers label and the main man behind www.grimetapes.com is best known for pioneering the eski house sound.
As stated in a Numbers press release to go with his recent single - Slackk is single handedly breaking down the walls that seperate Detroit, Chicago and London, then picking up the pieces and moulding them into his own mutant strain of House music - and that strain is eski house!
A hybrid of the raw power of grime and the dancefloor intensity of uk funky it's a combination that never fails to get the floor movin!
In his own words "I think the structure and approach of what I do and what I try to play is strongly influenced by grime - I like harsh sounds and the coldness of grime against heavily percussive house just seems to hang together well, I think."
His first release on Numbers the Theme EP seems to draw influences from all over the place, whether that be the pure dark aggression found in classic Underground Resistance tunes or the jack of early chicago house its really the mans love of grime (check his tribute to Wiley - Fire Flies) that gives his sound that rough, dark, un-comprimising edge.
Other notable tunes are his remix of Cassie - Thirsty a relentless seven minute acid workout, City Bass persy (persy persy persy) and in our opinion the standout track from Local Action's free Skydiver EP and his most recent release on new label Forefront the more afro tinged tribal swagger of Synthetic.
At City Bass we aim to book people primarily off the back of their dj skills rather than their production credentials and we will always try to get dj's to play longer sets to allow them to dig deeper and create a real vibe for the floor. Luckily for us Slackk was well up for this! Anyone who's listened to his recent fact mix will know what to expect - diverse tune selection, fast mixing and a lot of groove.
If you have even a vague interest in grime you should also check his grimetapes site and in particular the Wiley Vol.1 and D Double E Vol.1 mixes, a comprehensive collection of two of the greatest grime MC's best bars taken from live recordings and pirate radio shows.
We also have support from Rhythm Talk's Rushmore plus the City Bass residents on rotation playing our usual mix of beats and bass.
You know the ethos - no egos, all about the vibes, see you on the floor!
+ as per usual we will be installing extra sound especially for the night!

Ms. SHEA-PORTER. I thank you, Congresswoman Maloney, for the chance to speak about the damage that the Ryan budget would do to women and to families.
There are a couple of points. The new Ryan budget and the cuts to discretionary programs and the cuts to Medicare and Medicaid guarantees would disproportionately affect the women and children who are already suffering this year because of the sequestration.
The Ryan budget would dismantle the SNAP food program just like it does Medicare. About two-thirds of the SNAP benefits go to families with children. They rely on this.
The Ryan budget would roll back affordable health care provisions, bringing back gender-rating and allowing preexisting conditions like pregnancy and domestic violence.
Discretionary spending programs have already seen sequester cuts that will force women and families in need off of programs that help them. The Republican budget would further decimate these programs.
The special supplemental nutrition program for Women, Infants and Children, the WIC program, is one of our most successful and essential nutrition programs. Sequester will drop about 600,000 women and children from this program. Under the Republican budget, even more babies and mothers would be kicked off.
The new budget's enormous cuts would do even more than the sequester has done to destroy jobs and hurt our economic recovery. At a time when women are making unprecedented gains in higher education and the workforce, a war on jobs is a war on women and their families.
A budget is a moral document, and the Ryan budget fails this basic test of morality. This is wrong for women, and it is wrong for families, and we just reject this.
I thank you for the chance to talk about it.

Babies who are born premature have a higher risk of developing schizophrenia or other mental disorders later on life, scientists from Sweden and the UK claim in a new study.
According to Telegraph Health Correspondent Laura Donnelly, the study discovered that the risk is greatest amongst children born following a pregnancy lasting less than 32 weeks.
Those infants are three times more likely to be hospitalized as a result of psychiatric problems during adulthood than normal-term babies, she said.
"Very premature babies have more than twice the normal chance of developing schizophrenia and other forms of psychosis," Donnelly said. "Their risk of bipolar disorder is increased more than seven-fold, while the chances of developing major depression and eating disorders are raised 2.9 and 3.5 times."
"Experts stressed that the chances of a premature baby having a serious psychiatric problem remain small," she added. "Rates of hospitalization for psychosis are raised from two in 1,000 to around four in 1,000. Babies born between 32 to 36 weeks also had an increased risk of mental health disorders, though to a lesser extent. The chance of psychosis was raised 1.6 times, of bipolar disorder 2.7 times, and of serious depression 1.3 times."
The study, which was led by Chiara Nosarti from the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College London and is scheduled to be published in the journal the Archives of General Psychiatry, showed what Nosarti called a "very strong link" between premature birth and mental disorders later on in life, Reuters' Kate Kelland wrote on Friday.
Their findings also discovered what Kelland called a "smaller but significant" risk of the disorders for babies born between 32 and 36 weeks, the Reuters reporter added. In all, between one and six percent of the population are believed to be affected by these psychiatric issues, Nosarti told Reuters.
"Since we considered only the most severe cases that resulted in hospitalization, it may be that in real terms this link is even stronger," Nosarti told reporters during a briefing, according to Kelland. However, she emphasized that the "majority of individuals who are born prematurely have no psychiatric or cognitive problems and are absolutely healthy and well functioning."
"We believe that the increased risk of mental disorders in those born very prematurely can be explained by subtle changes in brain development. The immature nervous system in those born prematurely is particularly vulnerable to neonatal brain injury resulting from birth complications," she added according to Donnelly, who said that researchers recommend that children be screened for psychiatric problems for the first time when at the age of five.

There are a number of foods that seem to aggravate C. diff's symptoms.
One of them is gluten, which is a sticky protein in grains like wheat, rye and barley.
These foods are eaten every day by most people, but they can cause all the same symptoms as C. diff itself.
When C. diff gets into the bowel it releases toxic chemicals that cause inflammation and damage to the intestine wall.
Well it turns out that gluten can also cause lots of inflammation in the intestine, and can result in the same or similar symptoms.
I've read that up to 80% of us have a genetic trait that makes us prone to have this reaction to gluten.
Furthermore, the reaction may also spread round the body like a fire, causing all manner of symptoms around the body – depression, fatigue, aches and pains, headaches, and others.
I eliminated gluten from my diet a long time ago, and I found my digestive system felt a lot better as a result, even before I got rid of C. diff.
There's no harm in eliminating gluten at all – it can be replaced with lots of delicious alternatives and I talk about those in my newsletter.
I hope this helps!

Earnings surprise has changed the basic market complexion
When price is the only tool to...
Monsoon, the main source for irrigation for the country's 235 million farmers, may be on the lower end of the forecast. Rainfall in the June-September season will be 93% of the long-period average of 89 centimetres (35 inches). Rain in July, the wettest month in the June-to-September monsoon season, was 98% of the long-period mean, or more than forecast. That wasn't enough to make up for the 52% shortfall in June.
Despite bearish prospects in the medium to long term, edible oils such as soya and palm have rallied over the past few days on cues from overseas exchanges. Price support came from Chinese demand and an increase in crude oil prices. Edible oils are diverted for making bio diesel when the price of crude goes up.
India exported over 20% less coffee so far this calender year at about 1.18 lakh tonnes, compared to 1.48 lakh tonnes last year. Export orders suffered due to higher prices of the Indian coffee, compared with that of Vietnam, Brazil and the US. Indian coffee is quoting 10-15% higher than that of Vietnam and the US in the global market. Export of instant coffee fell to 17,646 tonnes from 23,751 tonnes in the previous year.

Hooves 8: The End is a game by Fantendo and Bomb Productions Games. Since it's a game by YoshiEgg, please do not edit except for spelling errors. It is the last game in the Hooves (series).
Story and Ending: (Spoiler Alert!!!)
After the events of Hooves 7: The War, Hooves and the army were sent to Antimattertropolis to go defeat the brainwashed titans and restore order to Animetropolis. After defeating all of the titans, Hoove's army arrived at The Demon Titan's castle, which was overrun with giant Gooks and mutated bat-creatures. After defeating a huge swarm of Gooks and bats, Hooves and the gang arrived in The Demon Titan's room, which was a colossal battllefeild. The Demon Titan confronted the gang, and then, the final battle begun. After supposedly defeating The Demon Titan, he used one final move that shot one-billion needles at the army, enough needles to kill every single one of Hoove's army! As The Demon Titan let out an evil laugh, he saw Hooves, who was bleeding and laying on the ground, get up. "No..." said The Demon Titan, "Impossible... Unbelievable... The prophecy is being foretold....". As Hooves got up, he started glowing bright. His eyes turned a gleaming golden color. "The prophecy!" said The Demon Titan, watching the pig in horror, " 'The power of the chosen six dominates evil...'...". Then, Giraffey, Shnartzel, Frostbite, Beluga, and Ray got up and started glowing, too. All together, the chosen six ran at The Demon Titan and the real final battle started. After a long fight, the chosen six defeated the Demon Titan, stopped glowing, their injuries healed, and everyone got up. The Eternal Clouds faded away and Animetropolis was saved forever. The Light Titan then rose from behind the fading clouds and congratulated Hooves and all of Animetropolis for their valiant heroism. The Light Titan then destroyed Antimattertropolis and peace was restored to the land.

Big Story
Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'ACFriends' started by rabbitslayer, Mar 2, 2013.
any other image storing sites that don't suck and are as simple to use as PB used to be?
I'm leaning on imgur right now. The free account lets you view only the last 225 pics you uploaded, but the rest are still technically there so they will still display, you just can't access them without paying for an upgraded subscription.
I closed my PB account and told them to go shove it with their new parameters
what did PB do that was so bad?
I have over 700 images in my main "album" I just tried uploading two more and they added to the very end of the list, even when I turned newest images first, and they don't have a way to go to the last image, you have to slowly page down to the end while it loads a few images at a time
oh and you have to go to a different page if you want to copy the url or image code of an image now
Yep, this.
And then the bandwidth BS:
Photobucket can go blow me
Yep, final nail in the coffin...the hover over to get the direct link got removed....
The new photobucket sucks so bad for finding anything it makes me cry. I have over 2K images in my main folder and having to scroll through page by page makes me want to maim someone.
I think I am done linking images for a while....was fun while it lasted though
Go IMGUR, and HOTLINK when you can see the image is in the right form (.JPG) etc...It's what I'm gonna do for a while unless PB takes it's head out of it's ass and decides to go back to the old way or changes back enough to bring back the things I liked about it (hello right click upload)...
I'm sure we're not the only ones who are pissed at the redonkulous changes.I closed my account and told them why. I hope their shit gets all abandoned by people and they realize what a stupid mistake they made.
I get 10 gigs of space to host files along with my internet connection.
glad I own my own domains, I dont have this issue.
PB pissed me off when they took down all those ass pics i uploaded for 30K post about 2 years ago. non nude, just nice ass shots in tight jeans a shorts and stuff.
Did i mentioned it pissed me the fuck off?
I knew a guy who worked at PB, (Great Guy, Got Laid Off in 2014.) The cats came from 'Internet Fan base,' He told me about his boss, and I found out what was happening..... (Or, He did...) They had obviously flopped somewhere, they obviously changed something... But the photo market just isn't as high as it used to be. My friend gave me a tour, they have a 'Nerf War' randomly as well as a 'My Little Pony Hunt?' (Each employee has their own pony marking their personality, Photobucket's Personality, Being a Jacka*s ) My friend now works at Amazon, which is a great experience. (New York Times are also Jacka*ses, Lies I tell you, LIES )
use a public dropbox folder
I always thought it was weird that people were still using photobucket when imgur is 10000x better.
That's what I do. I have a 900 GB of space I'm not using so why the hell not.

Dairy product Camelicious [2] is milking the success of its venture in the UK — with plans to cater to 35 additional retailers in London by the end of the year.
Even though camel milk may not be the type of product that springs to mind when thinking of goods in the UK, ethnic groups are keen to buy it as it gives them a taste of their home.
The UAE-based company's product can be found at seven outlets in London, eight in Sheffield, and six stores in Bradford, in addition to several smaller shops in both Tottenham and Manchester.
The Emirates Industry for Camel Milk and Products (EICMP), which is the producer of the camel milk brand Camelicious, has been sending out its trial batch to the UK since January and will start its first regular shipment in March.
"We faced a few challenges when we first entered the UK market, and had to build up awareness and show people that camel milk can be used in any recipe, and can be a substitute for people who are intolerant to cow's or sheep's milk," Mohammad Ashraf, director of sales at EICMP, told Gulf News on Friday.
He explained that most people are health conscious these days, and that every person who drinks milk is seen as a potential customer.
Camel milk products have anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties and can help those who are recovering from stomach bugs and infections. Camel milk also contains 10 times the amount of iron found in cow's milk [3]and five times the amount of vitamin C.
"In the next few weeks, we will send out a regular shipment from 300-500 litres of camel milk every 10 days. The products used for exporting have also been made with a longer shelf life, so that they can last for 15 days, instead of one week," said Ashraf.
Camel milk [4] can now be found at ethnic and halal shops, but within the coming months, he pointed out that it will also be available at high-end shopping centres, and shops selling specialised food delicacies.
But the exportation of Camelicious will not stop in the UK, as EICMP intends to start its second phase and branch out into Germany, the Netherlands and France. To cater to the growing number of consumers, EICMP is expecting to raise the number of camels from 3,600 to 10,000 within two years.

Taking the genre to new lengths, Japan's Toei has unfurled "Exte," a horror pic about hair extensions that attack the women that wear them.
So the fine people at Space Craft have posted a promo shot for Exte, I had to blow it up because it was tiny. I have to say after seeing the pic I was kinda disapointed because it made me realize that this cheesy movie is actually coming out.
The horror! The horror!

Infections that occur in the ears, nose and throat include sinusitis, otitis media, tonsillitis, infectious mononucleosis, or mono, and streptococcal infections, otherwise know as strep throat. Otitis media, or an ear infection, and tonsillitis occur most often in children, while sinus infections affect about 10 to 15 million people each year.
Otitis Media
Otitis media is the medical term for ear infections, which are most common in babies and young children. Symptoms include clogged ears due to fluid and mucus buildup, which can impair hearing.
Signs that individuals may have an ear infection include ear drainage, balance and sleeping difficulties, hearing problems and tugging of the ears. Babies with ear infections may cry more frequently.
In some cases, individuals may need only a pain reliever and the ear infection goes away on its own. However, health-care providers recommend antibiotics for severe infections and in the treatment of infants. Children who get frequent ear infections may need surgery to place tubes inside their ears to alleviate pressure and increase hearing.
Sinus infections, otherwise known as sinusitis, can be caused by a bacterial, viral or fungal infection. In the majority of cases, sinusitis occurs along with inflammation of the nasal passages. Common symptoms of sinusitis are pain, tenderness, nasal congestion and headache. There are two types of sinus infections: acute, which goes away within one month, and chronic, which is characterized by persistent and recurrent infections lasting longer than three months.
Sinusitis treatments include corticosteroid or saline nasal sprays, decongestants and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory pain relievers. Warm compressions, steaming, drinking lots of fluids and sleeping with your head elevated can also help alleviate the pressure and pain associated with sinusitis.
Tonsillitis is a common condition among children. It is caused by a viral or bacterial infection, causing the tonsils to become swollen and painful. Other symptoms may include white patches on the tonsils, sore throat, difficulty swallowing, headaches, fever and chills, and loss of voice. Children may also experience stomach aches.
Most of the time, tonsillitis is caused by a virus. In such cases, an antibiotic will not help. However, an over-the-counter sore throat medicine will alleviate the pain and inflammation. It may take one to two weeks to recover.
When tonsillitis is caused by a bacterial infection, antibiotics are needed. If treatment does not improve the condition, a tonsillectomy to remove the tonsils may be recommended by the health-care provider.
Drinking warm liquids such as tea or soups and gargling with warm salt water can also help alleviate symptoms of tonsillitis.
Infectious Mononucleosis
Infectious mononucleosis, or mono, is caused by a virus and can be transmitted through kissing or sharing glasses and eating utensils with someone with mono. Common symptoms include weakness, fatigue, sore throat, fever, swollen tonsils and lymph nodes, skin rash, loss of appetite, night sweats and a swollen spleen.
Unfortunately, because mono is caused by a virus, antibiotics will not treat it. Recovery involves 10 to 12 hours of bed rest daily, lots of fluids to keep hydrated, gargling with warm salt water and taking over-the-counter pain relievers and sore throat medicines. Health-care providers also recommend that patients avoid any activities that could cause the spleen to rupture.
Streptococcal Infection
Streptococcal infections, or strep throat, is less prevalent than mono and is caused by a bacterial infection. In some cases, an individual with mono can also suffer from strep throat. Strep throat may trigger a tonsil or sinus infection.
Symptoms of strep include sore throat, fever, headache, stomach ache and rash. Penicillin is the most common treatment. If left untreated, strep throat can cause rheumatic fever and inflammation of the kidneys.

I've never been a big fan of turn-based combat games. I just couldn't connect with the characters and the storylines. You feel restricted from gameplay and authority. The first time I experimented with one was years ago; some gladiator style game for Playstation, I believe. I played maybe 20 minutes before I decided it wasn't something I could enjoy. I eventually made an effort to try again a few years later with Pokemon and Final Fantasy Tactics. Still that constant setback. They were just incapable of coaxing me into the same passions drawn from other titles. Something was missing. Now I've come to the point where I felt the need to dabble once more.
I hadn't heard of The Banner Saga up until a few days ago. Just a random scroll through social media led me to the name. One image is all that accompanied the post, hardly enough to understand the premise. But something about it piqued my curiosity. Maybe it was the art style. The Viking-inspired setting may have also had a play in it. Nevertheless, I immediately searched for a trailer depicting gameplay. I was caught off guard once I realized it was turn-based. It nearly forced me to abandon any thoughts of giving this a try. But, that feeling of curiosity overpowered my pessimism. So I decided to give it one final effort before I gave up entirely.
Within the opening few minutes, I was encompassed in this fantasy world. It had that Game of Thrones approach to it, and it was just as powerful. Giant Vikings traveling this inexplicable land in search for something I have yet to discover, as well as preparing for a war with all but forgotten enemies. It was unique. It felt genuinely different from the norm. And the animated sequences are beautiful and masterfully intertwined with the atmosphere. It's not too often you get the chance to be exposed to visuals in such an uncommon design. All this wouldn't be complete without the comforting melodies to complement their ventures. For the first time in my life, I think I've at long last found the one game I can appreciate.
Every character plays a specific role in this saga. As with the majority of modern titles, your actions influence the world around you, boding consequences both good and bad. Allies can perish from your decisions or find new ways to improve the caravan. People will vacate from hunger or hatred and enemies will prevent you from parting without initiating violence. These choices and events are constant, leading to a continuous panic of responsibility. Along with being tasked to care for your followers, in the midst of traveling you must pay close attention to morale and food supply. Certain conditions may require you to set up camp and rest. There are just an array of possibilities at your disposal.
Although I may only be an hour into this expedition, it has really provided that craving I've been longing for in a video game. Something different from the shooters and platformers of today. I'm glad I have the chance to say I'm fond of a new genre of gaming. I absolutely recommend The Banner Saga to anyone who wants that same connection. Try something new. This one won't let you down.

U.N. humanitarian aid chief denied entry into Syria
U.N. humanitarian aid chief Valerie Amos said on Wednesday she was deeply disappointed that Syria has refused to allow her to the visit the country, where she had hoped to assess the need for emergency relief in besieged towns.
Amos said in a statement that the refusal came despite my repeated requests to meet Syrian officials at the highest level to discuss the humanitarian situation and the need for unhindered access to the people affected by the violence.
Given the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian situation, with an increasing need for medical assistance, food and basic supplies, improving access, so that assistance can reach those in urgent need, is a matter of the highest priority, she said.
A senior Western diplomat said on condition of anonymity that Damascus' refusal to allow Amos into Syria came despite Russian efforts to get her access.
It was not immediately clear what impact Damascus' refusal would have on Russia, which last week encouraged U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to send a representative to liaise with all sides for the safe transit of aid convoys.
Russia and China have twice vetoed U.N. Security Council resolutions condemning Syria for its 11-month crackdown on pro-democracy protesters across the country that the United Nations says killed more than 7,500 civilians, saying Western and Arab nations are seeking Libya-style regime change in Syria.
Amos' Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs plans to organize a humanitarian conference on Syria on March 8 in Geneva, which might include an appeal for aid, envoys said.
The senior diplomat said that Syria clearly did not want Amos to see the violence in Homs and other locations.
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice said denying Amos access to Syria was shameful.
Rather than meeting the needs of its people, the barbaric Syrian government is preparing its final assault on the city of Homs, she said in a statement.
A senior U.N. official said on Tuesday that government security forces have prevented more than 5,000 civilians from fleeing Syrian towns under siege.
The newly appointed U.N.-Arab League envoy on the Syrian crisis, former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, will meet with his successor Ban Ki-moon and members of the Security Council this week, Annan and U.N. diplomats said.
Annan, too, hopes to visit Syria soon to meet with Syrian officials, though like Amos he will need Damascus' permission. Annan was appointed after the U.N. General Assembly adopted a resolution this month calling for an envoy to be named to push implementation of an Arab League plan for Assad to step aside.
The United States has drafted an outline for a new Security Council resolution on Syria, this time to demand access for humanitarian aid workers in conflict-torn towns and an end to the violence there, Western envoys said on Tuesday.
Diplomats said that Washington was consulting with Britain, France and other allies, including Arab states, in the drafting process. The senior diplomat said that it was unlikely they would have a text ready to present to the full 15-nation Security Council before Russia's March 4 presidential election.
While the U.S. draft focuses on the humanitarian crisis in Syria, Western diplomats said it would have to make clear that the cause of that crisis is the government's crackdown on protesters opposed to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
That, diplomats said, could make it difficult to secure Russian support for the draft. They said China has indicated that it is uncomfortable with the angry reaction its vetoes have provoked in the Middle East and has sought to reassure the Arab League that Beijing remains a strong partner for the Arab world.
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin is widely expected to win the March 4 election and return to the presidency. He has accused NATO of overstepping its U.N. Security Council mandate to protect civilians in Libya and has said that Moscow did not want that repeated in Syria.
A Syrian senior official, speaking in Geneva on Tuesday, indicated that Damascus was prepared to accept some assistance from the United Nations, which has been shut out of the country, leaving the International Committee of the Red Cross as the only international aid agency deploying aid workers there.
Syria welcomes any technical assistance that can be provided by the United Nations to Syrian institutions, Syrian Ambassador to the U.N. in Geneva Faysal Khabbaz Hamoui told an emergency debate on the crisis at the U.N. Human Rights Council before walking angrily out of the meeting hall.

Dice, Cardboard, Tokens - Online Boardgaming
I'm a sort of mild board game geek. I enjoy playing board games fairly regularly but haven't gotten to the point that I'm renovating my apartment to add closet space for my burgeoning collection. In fact, though I have a couple of local meetups I attend every couple of weeks or so to play board games, and I play some solo or with my young kids, most of my board gaming is online. Playing online works, but it's usually against strangers, and many times -- since board gaming is very popular in non-English speaking countries -- a language barrier prevents banter. Most of my most memorable online play sessions involve lively chatter across the board.
To that end, I'm curious whether any RPSers are interested in organizing online play sessions. There are several sites that host board games, and all of them offer nearly complete functionality for free.
The three big online board game sites and a sampling of some notable games they host:
- Board Game Arena - Through the Ages, Keyflower, Race for the Galaxy, Seasons, Caylus
- Boiteajeux - Dungeon Lords, Agricola, Kanban, Castles of Burgundy
- Yucata - Marco Polo, Russian Railroads, At the Gates of Loyang
Sites that specialize in a single game:
All of these sites offer asynchronous play where players make moves one at a time and notifications are sent via email or site messaging when it's a player's turn. Most commonly, asynchronous games run at about 1-2 turns per day. Board Game Arena offers live play. There are also board games that can be played through dedicated apps on Steam or tablet/phone, including Ticket To Ride, Carcassonne, Catan, Small World, Space Hulk: Ascension, and Twilight Struggle.
Personally, I'm a big fan of map-based high-strategy games like Brass, Terra Mystica, and Twilight Stuggle. But I'd enjoy playing just about anything. Post here if you're interested too. I'm happy to teach while playing and am really looking for good conversation in the chat channel.

I would definitely be up for this at some point if you are using the mumble server.
The problem I have is I'm bad at organising these things, I tried once before and it never went anywhere. I need someone else to start them up.
I'm maxed out with work this week but perhaps at the weekend or sometime next week, add me on steam as that tends to be the best way to get hold of me, I'm "Jersey SpuD"
Edit: rambling cut down

I'm also interested!
Along similar lines: you can play X-wing for free online in a quasi-legal state (as with Netrunner, FFG gives it tacit approval by pretending to not know it exists, because it's really necessary for organized play until the day FFG makes their own official online thing), so if anyone ever wants to learn the game I'm happy to do online matches!
I am interested in learning X-Wing at some point, but not sure I want to take the time to learn a new Vassal module right now. Maybe in July, it would fun to organize a training session and then try to play through a game or two.
If either or both of you are interested in learning Terra Mystica, I'd be happy to set up a private game. The Snellman interface (linked above) is pretty bare bones, with a highly abstracted board, but it works really well for playing the game (as attested by the many tens of thousands of games that are played there every month.) There is a site with an AI here, which uses an interface very similar to Snellman's and is very useful for learning the game.
Terra Mystica is a high strategy game; there are no dice, no cards, and the only luck is who plays first, with some features to mitigate even that. There are 14 factions (plus 6 with the expansion) to choose from, and they all play differently, but are reasonably well balanced against each other. I think of it as kind of a board game version of a MOBA, with asymmetric abilities and tight conflict in every aspect. Here's a recent game I played, where I was able to eke out a second place finish despite choosing a terrible faction for the available bonuses. (Bonuses are determined randomly when you set up the game, and faction selection happens afterward.) You can get a sense from the map how tightly bunched all the players were as we developed our economies and scrabbled for points.

Colour me interested for netrunner, xwing or terramystica. Just let me know when you are planning on doing it, later in the evenings is best for me but I don't know about your schedules.
I've played netrunner and xwing briefly many moons ago
I can't enjoy Netrunner on Jinteki (or previously OCTGN). The game loses too much when you're not across from your opponent.
If you want a quick and easy way to futz around with X-wing by yourself there's https://xws-bench.github.io/bench/#"Halo is designed to make the player think "I look like that, I am macho sitting in my undies with my xbox""
