Re: What do people my age do on weekends/ evening in zurich?
A lot of people your age seem to frequent the bars and clubs in downtown Zurich on the weekends. And during the summer, a lot them hang out along the Limmat river or Lake Zurich and swim, play volleyball, etc.
But most stores and malls do close quite early here (almost nothing is open past 8:00 pm during the week and 6:00 pm on Saturdays). So late-night shopping is pretty much impossible, as is Sunday shopping.

Storm Desmond: 26 people rescued in Northern Ireland as floods and high winds cause havoc
Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service called out to 37 incidents of flooding
Twenty-six people had to be rescued as they became trapped due to the adverse weather conditions in Northern Ireland over the weekend.
It comes as the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service dealt with 37 incidents of flooding.
A major clear-up operation is underway following the destruction caused by Storm Desmond.
Several roads remain closed across Northern Ireland.

Storm Desmond brings record rainfall in a day causing chaos across the UK
RTE's Teresa Mannion breaks the internet following dramatic Storm Desmond weather report
On Monday afternoon the Met Office removed their yellow warning for heavy rain. Forecasters had place an alert between 1pm and 6pm on Monday covering counties Antrim, Fermanagh, Londonderry and Tyrone.
But while it will remain wet - rain will spread eastwards across Northern Ireland before clearing in the late afternoon, early evening.
The Boudoir is OPEN for business as usual!! Thank you so much for all the messages - it has been a stressful 24hrs but...Posted by The Boudoir on Monday, 7 December 2015
While Monday's rain was not expected to be as heavy as in recent days, forecasters warned of potential flooding and disruption to transport.
The PSNI in Dungannon tweeted a photograph of a car which became stuck as a result of floods.
Officers tweeted: "Unfortunately a number of vehicles drove past a road closed sign".
Stores at the Linen Green complex, one of Northern Ireland's most sought after retail developments, were left devastated as damage to their stock was collectively estimated to reach millions.
Linen Green's management was unable to put an estimate on the damage. Anita Ross, co-owner of The Boudoir, described the floods as devastating and said she believed she had lost £100,000 of stock.
"We are left that we can't get that stock replaced because manufacturers have stopped production at this late stage, three weeks to Christmas. We won't be able to replace it and will be left out of pocket, there is no way we can make up those sales.
"It is completely devastating. It has left everybody in limbo. The support of the customers and retailers has been fantastic to try to come together and do the best we can. Lessons have to be learned and we need to find out why this happened. I have been there six years and we never had a flood of this magnitude before - we need to make sure it doesn't happen again."
But on Monday the owners of The Boudoir posted on their Facebook page that the shop had reopened.
It said: "The Boudoir is OPEN for business as usual.
"Thank you so much for all the messages - it has been a stressful 24hrs but the support of our customers has been overwhelming!!!! Thanks so much!".
Among the worst reported incidents was a housing estate in Strabane where ten people had to be rescued from their homes.
Meanwhile a firefighter involved in the localised flooding response received minor injuiries.
Northern Ireland Assistant Chief Fire Officer Alan Walmsley said: "Firefighters used ladders to bring the residence to safety as well as the assistance of sleds to move the residents to dry land.
"Firefighters were also involved in a long operation in Lisnaskea where the NIFRS High Volume Pumping Units were used to pump water and prevent further flooding.
"The weather forecast is to improve from the previous 24 hours, so hopefully things will stabilise. Motorists are advised there are large areas of standing water resulting in some roads being impassable.
"Please take care when driving and do not travel on roads affected by the recent adverse weather."

Scoring five goals against the Medicine Hat Tigers was nice, but not shocking.
Holding the high-powered Bengals to two goals and just 17 shots was more impressive.
Calgary Hitmen defenders did an admirable job of keeping the Tigers big guns in check throughout Fridays 5-2 Game 1 victory at the Dome.
Blueliner Matt MacKenzie said the defence corps made the smart play from start to finish.
We kept it simple, MacKenzie said. You cant make too cute of plays.
Theyre a really aggressive team, both their forwards and their D.
So you have to move the pucks quick. And if you dont have a play, put it off the glass and out.
The Tigers were unable to use their speed to create any odd-man rushes.
Thats one thing we learned from last series against Moose Jaw, he said.
We gave them a few odd-man rushes and they capitalized.
We knew Med Hat has an even better transition game, so we really tightened up in practice.
The Hitmen were also physical.
Blueliner Kyle Aschim set the tone by delivering a big open-ice hit on Tigers forward Wacey Hamilton in the first period.
Thats one of the keys to be physical against them, Aschim said.
We want to wear them down a little bit.
But theyll come out harder next game so we have to maintain that physical play.

Steaming along at a double-digit sales pace, urban townhouses are a hot commodity with GTA homebuyers. "But the big problem is meeting the pent-up demand — there's just not enough product," says Barbara Lawlor, president of Baker Real Estate.
Pointing to a 50-unit townhouse development recently launched in the Bayview/Sheppard area, Ms. Lawlor says she watched as the four-storey contemporary brownstones "were all snapped up in a day."
A powerful driver in this buying frenzy is that townhomes represent an attractive choice for new homeownership. They're good "particularly for those who covet the convenience of condominium living, yet still like a low-rise home," Ms. Lawlor says. "Is there anything better than having a ground-related residence where the landscaping is taken care of for you? [As well, they] offer an attractive and affordable low-rise option in some of the city's most popular areas."
Townhouses built by Decade Homes at Yorkdale Village Phase 2 (top; yorkdalevillage.com), for example, are 99 stacked units at Wilson and Dufferin, located around the block from Yorkdale shopping centre, big-box shopping within walking distance, the Keele Street site of the massive new Humber River Hospital minutes away, and quick connections to the TTC and highways.
These Phase 2 uptown towns (Phase 1 is just about sold out), ranging from $300,000 to $500,000, offer one-bedroom, one-bedroom plus den, two-bedroom, two-bedroom plus den, and three-bedroom units, from 514 to more than 1,200 square feet, nine-foot ceilings, underground parking, and for many units there's a private rooftop terrace. Occupancy is slated for Summer 2015.
Down the street is the revitalized Downsview Park, a former military base, that covers 572 acres of mixed use land, peppered with public parkland, man-made lakes, wooded groves, a sports centre, and walking and bike paths.
"It's a good option for people who have lived in the suburbs, but are tired of the commute and want to move into the city," says Mike Siskind, a principal of Decade Homes, adding that some modern townhomes are often built "as affordable ownership housing to first-time homebuyers or as affordable rental housing for low and moderate-income families."
Answering the call for more townhomes, one of the latest to hit the market is The Carlaw (above), a Streetcar Developments community at Carlaw and Dundas in Leslieville (thecarlaw.ca). The infill project slated for November 2014 occupancy, offers 320 lofts in a 12-storey condominium, as well 21 stacked townhomes featuring nine- and 10-foot ceilings, hardwood stairs, a designer bathroom, gorgeous kitchen, parking spots and a rooftop terrace or outdoor patio. With not an inch of inefficient space, these two-level, two-bedroom homes will range from 948 square feet to 1,800 square feet with prices starting at about $480,000.
A trendy part of the city, Leslieville has been transformed over the past decade from fuming industrial to a family-friendly residential neighbourhood. "The area is poised for a continued renaissance and these townhouses are designed to function as live-work units," says Alie Warren, Streetcar's vice-president of sales. "You can have an office and your private bedroom and washroom upstairs. The townhouses are a viable option for young families starting out who want to be in this neighbourhood but are frustrated they can't get into the market. Here's a fresh opportunity for them."
In the west end, the Annex will boast its own new upscale townhouses in the summer of 2014. B.streets Lane Homes by Lindvest (above; bstreetscondos.com) are a row of six two-storey, 1,267-sq.-ft. residences tucked into Loretto Lane, steps away from Bloor and Bathurst. Fashioned by interior design firm Cecconi Simone, each Lane Home contains customized kitchen cabinetry, composite quartz countertops, and a 24" under-counter wine fridge. Priced at about $740,000, these B.streets towns have three bedrooms, nine-foot ceilings, and a private front porch outfitted with a privacy screen, latching gate and gas connection for summer barbecues. A French balcony with sliding doors opens on to a view of Loretto Lane, adding to the sense of airiness and natural light.
Who's buying today's townhouses? When single-family homes are beyond the budget, but condominium layouts are too small, many buyers opt for this alternative. They get the layout and features of a multi-level home, with such extras as new appliances and proximity to the best in local shopping, restaurants and entertainment. And it's an appealing option for retirees who are downsizing but don't want one-level, high-rise living.
Townhouses are even becoming a big part of the real estate landscape for those who prefer to reside outside the city.
Just north of Toronto, for example, The Villagio, an Empire Communities and Pace development (above), is a 55-unit condominium offering five adjacent three-storey, 2,000-sq.-ft. townhouses (empirepace.com), on Keele Street in bustling downtown Maple. The project is near the historic centre of town, with good access to the Maple and Rutherford GO
Stations, as well as local specialty food stores. Prices for the towns here start in the low-$800,000s; occupancy is scheduled for early 2014. "Most of our buyers are people living in the 905 [who] want to stay," says Paul Golini, executive vice-president of Empire. "Villagio … addresses the needs of all ages and interests."
Near Lake Ontario and set to be LEED certified, Minto Longbranch (above) is a 448-unit urban townhouse community in the heart of the Lake Shore West community (mintolongbranch.com). Here, too, the company beat its own sales records, with 150 units sold in the first two days. The development, with occupancy in Spring 2015, offers one-, two- and three-bedroom units, up to three storeys, priced from the low $200,000s.
"These towns offer open-concept layouts; interior walls and corridors are minimized to provide wide layouts and a seamless flow from the kitchen to dining and living room," says Natascha Pieper, Minto's director of marketing. "The Lakeshore West is an upcoming area … loaded with quaint cafés, eateries, cycle shops, and just a 15-minute commute from the Long Branch GO Station."
Asked whether the townhouse market in the GTA is filling an apparent need, Ms. Lawlor says: "I wish there were more projects; they'd sell."

Dating Handbook: Pickup Lines and Driving Stories
hi guys,
last weekend i was able to fulfill a fantasy--and it's all because of you (or, more properly, your personals). the love i thought i'd never find and i sat in my house and listened to you together. the first caller (kathy) could have been me. don and i met on your site--and after several hundred e-mail messages, four or five phone calls and an exchange of photographs, we decided we should meet. we already knew we were soul mates--and we owe it to you guys. of course, kathy thought she had a problem (64 squareback is in california; she's in arizona). wrong! try california (him--NOT the same guy, though) and georgia. your advice to kathy goes double for me--i'm packing my bags next friday...
thanks again, and keep up the good work!

It was good but you could improve it by...
Putting levels.
Making power-ups like if you run out of bullets.
Showing how many zombies you've killed.
Making different kinds of zombies and weapons.
Making different difficulties.
Or making different characters.

Irish pair take lead
Ireland's Ryan Seaton and Matthew McGovern mastered the blustery conditions in Weymouth to move into pole position in the 49er category at the Sail for Gold Regatta.
Seaton and McGovern claimed four top-three finishes to move from sixth place to first, overtaking British duo John Pink and Simon Wheeler, to take a six-point lead with four fleet races and three double pointer medal races to go.
Seaton said: "The first race today was all about the boat handling and getting around the course nice and tidy, with the next three races all about getting the good starts and going fast which seemed to work out well for us."
McGovern, who is competing for the first time since representing Ireland at the London 2012 Olympics, added: "We were disappointed with our results yesterday as we've taken time off since the Games so were a little rusty getting back into the boat, but today our boat handling was good and were happy with our results."
Meanwhile, Charlotte Dobson and Nicola Groves took control in the 49erFX class with Kate Macgregor and Sophie Ainsworth second and France Peters and Mary Rook rounding off the British dominance in third.
Nick Dempsey, competing in the RS X windsurfing 9.5 class, added three race wins and a second place to his scorecard. The two-time world champion is second behind fellow Briton Elliot Carney overall.
In the RS:X 8.5 class, runaway leader Bryony Shaw added a further two race wins to her scorecard as did Robert York, with Izzy Hamilton remaining in third after another consistent day out on the water. Andrew Mills moved to the top of the leaderboard in the heavyweight Finn class while New Zealand's Sam Meech extended his lead in the Laser category.
Ben Saxton and Hannah Diamond continued their good form in the Nacra 17 competition to stay ahead of Lucy Macgregor and Tom Phipps, with 2008 Beijing Olympic gold medallist Pippa Wilson and her crew John Gimson in third.
China's Lijia Xu and Dongshuang Zhang remain first and second respectively in the Laser Radial race despite black flags in their second outing, with Britain's Chloe Martin placed third.
Finally, Helena Lucas and Megan Pascoe are neck and neck in the 2.4mR Paralympic class at the halfway stage while John Robertson, Hannah Stodel and Stephen Thomas continued their superb run of form in the Paralympic Sonar class, with three more race wins extending their lead to five points.

The Rare Occassions
Drawing inspiration from each successive wave of garage rock, The Rare Occasions put their own dark spin on retro. A dizzying cacophony of angular riffs and dripping wet lyrics, the Boston-via-Providence quartet first formed in a Tufts University practice space three years ago. Since then, The Rare Occasions have performed for festival audiences at SXSW in Austin and CMJ in New York City, self-produced three critically-acclaimed EPs, and opened for internationally touring acts including Guster, Dirty Heads, Lupe Fiasco, AJR, and Knox Hamilton. Their blistering psych-anthem "Dysphoric" took home Song of the Year in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest.
The Littlest Viking
Instrumental prog/punk guitar/drums duo based out of Whittier, Ca. I don't know if that's technically a genre but if it is we might be boldly categorized as such. Tamborines, outrageous drum fills, wicked tapping, hoarse shouting, noise freakouts, salsa beats and the occasional MJ sample are a staple of any TLV live show.

Lindsay Lohan Mug Shot: Actress Poses for Sixth in Series (PHOTO)
Lindsay Lohan earned herself a new mug shot Tuesday. It became her sixth after she pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges that was the result of a car crash in the summer of 2012.
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge James Dabney gave the trouble actress a 5-day jail sentence, which was part of the plea agreement. She will not actually be behind bars as her time will be counted once she completes a 90-day program in a rehabilitation facility.
Lohan pled no contest to misdemeanor reckless driving, providing false information to police, willfully resisting police and obstructing or delaying an officer. The starlet must also spend 18 months in psychotherapy and conduct 30 days of community service in addition to her rehab program.
Included in the deal was Lohan's admission that she violated her probation during her 2011 shoplifting fiasco. The judge added that if she completed the terms of her deal that she would not have to serve a 180 day sentenced that was stayed, but should she fail to complete the terms Lohan could sit in jail for six months.
While the plea deal may seem as a bit soft, Lohan will still be required to pay restitution to the driver of the truck that Santa Monica prosecutors revealed she hit in June of 2012.
"I'm very confident that you won't be seeing Lindsay Lohan in any criminal courts any time in the future," said Mark Heller, a New York-based attorney hired to represent Lohan.
"She has fully recognized all of the issues that have to be addressed, and I'm very confident she'll be able to move forward in her life with dignity, pride and respect," he said, adding that she was "extremely gratified with the end result."

STRATFORD, Ont. -- A driver involved in a head-on crash that sent six children to hospital Sunday night has been charged with impaired driving causing bodily harm.
Tammy-Lynn Dingman, 42, of West Perth, Ont., has also been charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm and failing to provide a breath sample on demand.
Police said a car with two adults and a child crossed the centre line and collided with a minivan carrying a family of seven.
In all, 10 people were injured in the crash. All the children are younger than 10 years old.
The impact was so severe that two Ornge air ambulance choppers were called to the scene to transport a child and an adult, both in critical condition, to London, Ont.
The eight others were taken to area hospitals, and five of them were transferred to London hospitals overnight, said Cliff Eggleton, deputy chief Perth County EMS.
"Here you have a family that is completely innocent who has an immediate life-altering incident that is completely avoidable," provincial police Const. Kees Wijnands said.
The crash occurred about 5:10 p.m. on a straight stretch of Embro. Rd., in rural southwestern Ont.
Volunteer firefighters worked quickly to free two adults and one child trapped in the wreckage. All three were freed in about 45 minutes, Perth fire chief Bill Hunter said.
The scene of Sunday's crash is not far from the spot where in Februrary 2012 a horrific crash between two vehicles killed nine migrant workers and a truck driver.
Dingman is scheduled to appear in court Sept. 8.

On Mondays a Sun staffer gets to know a sports figure a little better in Up Close. This week, Kirk Penton called Sin City to chat with Winnipeg's Krzysztof Soszynski, who knocked Brazil's Andre Gusmao out cold in the first round 3:17 into their UFC 98 bout Saturday night at the MGM Grand. Soszynski will be back in Winnipeg on June 6, signing autographs at the Garden City Community Centre as part of the Polish Days celebration.
The Sun: How are things?
Soszynski: I just had the Rio buffet. It was fantastic. It's one of the best buffets in town.
Sun: How was your fight against Gusmao?
KS: (Saturday) night was absolutely an amazing experience. Knocking somebody out cold is actually a lot of fun. Seeing him drop like that, it was a great thing.
Sun: You were born in Poland, where you spent your first 10 years. What was life like?
KS: I had a really good childhood, actually. My parents were really loving and caring. Poland at the time was under a communist regime, so everything was food stamps and there was a lot of waiting in line for food and bread. Whatever was written on those food stamps was the amount of food you could get, no matter what, for the rest of the week. So there were some rough times, but my childhood was fantastic. I have a really good family.
Sun: How old were you when you learned how to spell your name?
KS: (laughs) Being Polish, it was very easy. It took most people in my school when I moved to Canada probably about a year or two to learn how to spell my name.
Sun: To borrow a mixed martial arts term, who would you love to ground and pound?
KS: I had a bully when I first came to Canada. This kid used to beat me up almost every day because I couldn't speak English and I used to wear the same clothes, because my parents really couldn't afford nice stuff yet for me. So they would go to second-hand stores and pick out clothes for me. And this guy would just tease me about it and bully me. I couldn't speak English, my name was all weird and all this stuff. He used to beat me up. I wish I could ground and pound his ass right now. That would be fantastic.
Sun: How has life changed since you joined the UFC?
KS: Making money, I guess, would be one. You know, actually making a living doing what I love to do. People are recognizing me now a lot more, and they're seeing me on TV all the time. I'm getting a lot of interview requests and appearance requests and autographs and pictures. I was being mobbed (Saturday) quite a bit. It's changed my life a little bit, where a lot more people know who I am, but it hasn't really changed me as a person.
Sun: Who's the toughest guy you've ever fought?
KS: Ben Rothwell. He beat me up twice.
Sun: What's a TV show you can't miss?
KS: Family Guy and South Park.
Sun: Considering you fought in UFC 97 and then were an injury replacement in UFC 98, should we assume you'll fight in UFC 99?
KS: To be honest, I would love to fight at 99. It's in Germany, and I have tons of fans in Poland right across the border. It would be an awesome experience.
Sun: So you're big in Poland?
KS: I have so many people writing to me all the time in Poland, I'm doing interviews in Polish all the time. They love MMA over there. One of the biggest growing sports in Poland is MMA.
Sun: Tell us about your high school football career at the Maples. How good was it?
KS: I was on the only Maples team that ever won the high school championship (in 1994), which I was really proud of. I was the lead fullback on the team. The running back was one of the top running backs in the province. And I was also a placekicker. I kicked a winning field goal in the semifinals to get us into the finals. I was really happy about that. I was actually featured on CKND, so it was pretty cool.
Sun: You know the Bombers kind of need a kicker, right?
KS: (laughs) Yeah, I heard. I'm kind of happy with my career, though. I don't want to make the switch just yet.

NAIROBI, Kenya, July 5 (UPI) -- Kenya's military is using satellites to patrol the country's borders.
The satellite surveillance systems are monitoring both Kiiwayu Island and the Kenyan-Somali border to detect any suspected al-Shabaab insurgents attempting to cross into Kenya.
The surveillance systems were established following reports that some suspected al-Shabaab militias fled into the area and were allegedly being harbored by locals, The Star newspaper reported Wednesday.
The U.S. government now lists al-Shabaab as a terrorist organization. For the past several months al-Shabaab militants have been subjected to U.S. drone attacks.
Militants fleeing the attacks have apparently been joined by others fearing an imminent invasion of Somalia by Kenya's military.
Kenyan security officials believe the al-Shabaab suspects, many of whom are crossing the border at night, are posing as Kenyans and attempting to blend in with the local populace.
The surveillance satellites are being monitored from the Kenya navy base at Manda Island.

Paul Thomas Anderson Has 'Inherent Vice' for Robert Downey Jr
by Ethan Anderton
December 2, 2010
Source: Vulture
Since September brought the news that The Master, the next film from one of my favorite directors, Paul Thomas Anderson, had been delayed indefinitely, some of us have been wondering what would be next for the filmmaker. It looks like we might have our answer as Vulture has learned Anderson is keen on adapting Thomas Pynchon's recent novel Inherent Vice. The story follows Larry "Doc" Sportello, a pothead private eye wandering through the Summer (and winter) of Love in 1969 Los Angeles. Even more enticing is the fact that Anderson's agency wants none other than Robert Downey Jr. to take the lead role in this new venture.
Of course, Downey's involvement is far from official, and even if the actor wanted to take the role, his schedule is so overloaded, the movie probably wouldn't get made until 2013. However, since Anderson doesn't exactly rush to the next project between films (he last delivered There Will Be Blood in 2007) maybe they can work something out down the road. Otherwise, Vulture points out that Philip Seymour Hoffman, a regular Anderson collaborator who was already set to star in The Master, could fit in the role just as well.
In addition, it sounds like one of the big stars would be the film's soundtrack. The Amazon review for the book sites "rock & roll fanboy love on every page" and even provides an entire listing of songs featured or referenced in the book itself. For a more in-depth look at the world in which the story and Sportello exist, Pynchon has provided some insight in this video here. I'd love to see this project come together with Anderson at the helm, but then again, I'm excited about any project with Paul Thomas Anderson. How about you?

No HSM4 for Matt Prokop
Disney announced last week that they will be continuing with the HSM franchise and will start filming "High School Musical 4" later this year.
The old cast – Zac, Vanessa, Ashley, Corbin, Lucas, Monique – will not be joining in on the new movie, since they have all graduated high school and moved on.
So, who's taking over the franchise? Will is be the new cast like Jemma, Chris and Matt? Well, according to Matt Prokop's latest MySpace update, it will not include him.
"Not only will HSM4 not feature your loved wildcats: Troy, Gabriella, Sharpay, Ryan, Chad, and Taylor, but I will also not be apart of it. Disney decided to go with a completely different story line. I'm so thankful to be apart of HSM3 before they decided to change everything. Enjoy the new characters……. whoever they will be. Matt."
Wow, I am kind if in shock. What do you guys think about Matt being out?

WTF! Life is way too fast in California! I know because I was born and raised there, and I left knowing I'd never raise my own children in Cali!
We definitely don't need anymore "Teen Mom's" but the reality is young kids are having sex! At least now they have an opportunity to protect themselves for free. In some counties in California kids as young as 12 can have condoms delivered to the door for free, and up to 10 condoms a month! ! I'm speechless right now.
San Diego County is the newest county to pick up this state program. By the way they don't need their parent's permission to get the condoms delivered. So far, the program has distributed more than 30,000 condoms across California.
So what do you think? Should Michigan start a "free" condom program for kids? For the full story click here!

Millions Threatened with Starvation in Ethiopia and Eritrea: Needs of Millions Worldwide Threaten to Overwhelm International Emergency Food Supplies
(November 14, 2002) The UN World Food Programme (WFP) has just warned that over 12 million people in Ethiopia and Eritrea are threatened with starvation over the next months and launched an urgent appeal to provide emergency relief food there.
Recent joint WFP, donor, and government assessment missions across Ethiopia reveal widespread losses of maize and sorghum crops, the staple foods for most rural people. Malnutrition rates have reached alarming levels in some areas. In Eritrea, poor rainfall since October, 2001 has meant that cereal planting was delayed and was not as extensive as usual. Recent estimates indicate an almost complete loss in the country's cereal harvest.
"We are facing a serious humanitarian catastrophe. At least ten million people will need food aid just in Ethiopia. But if this month's rains stop early, up to 14 million people there will require urgent assistance," said WFP's Executive Director, James T. Morris. "In Eritrea, the total number of people affected by this drought is estimated at over 2 million, or about 60 percent of the entire population," he said. "These figures are large and dramatic and the international community should take notice. If donors respond quickly, we can help avoid an immense human tragedy there," said Mr. Morris. "Unless we come to grips with this problem very soon, we face the real possibility of witnessing a devastating wave of human suffering and death as early as next year."
In southern Africa, drought is also the prime cause of hunger that is now threatening an estimated 14.4 million people. On the other side of the African continent, lack of rain is already causing serious hardship and is spreading in five Western Sahelian countries, affecting up to 1.5 million people.
Most of these crises are related to erratic weather patterns. The statistics point to an alarming trend. According to the World Disasters Report: 2002, "The past two years have seen the highest number of weather-related disasters reported over the decade." This has meant that millions of people, who were already vulnerable, have had to contend with the destructive power of major natural disasters and it has fallen to the humanitarian community to assist them.
In Central America, over 1.5 million people have seen their food supplies wither because of drought. In Afghanistan, four years of drought and decades of conflict are still wreaking havoc on the lives of almost 10 million people.
North Korea continues to experience acute food shortages. Insufficient funding of WFP operations there has led to the suspension of food aid rations for three million hungry women, children and elderly people-- with 1.5 million more people likely to be cut off in January.

In this context, WFP is calling for the
international community to rethink the way it responds to
the world's growing food emergencies. According to
Morris, "While modern society is not prepared to
tolerate the face of mass hunger, agencies like WFP, as well
as hundreds of highly effective NGOs, are finding it
increasingly difficult to find the resources to respond
adequately to the growing number of emergencies."

Dr. Fullerton's research has involved both neuroanatomical pathways and neurophysiology of the auditory system. Her most recent research concerned the cytoarchitecture of the human auditory cortex and the comparison with that of non-human primate. Previous research included the neuroanatomy of the inferior colliculus, organization of the brainstem motoneurons to the stapedius muscle of the middle ear, and the anatomy of the superior olivary auditory neurons in the human brainstem. Neurophysiological studies involved the neural generators of the brainstem auditory evoked potentials, and MRI-detected changes in the human auditory brainstem pathway in patients with multiple sclerosis. In addition to her research efforts, Dr. Fullerton is dedicated to medical education and her work in radiation oncology.

KZN support for Zuma based on being 'a popular leader'
He added that Zuma continued to play a leadership role as a father figure.
"The support that was generated by popularity of the president at national level has had a more or less similar impact across all provinces, due to his widespread appeal across different communities," he said in a statement on Tuesday.
"The assertion that the last surge in voter support was as a result of President Zuma hailing from KwaZulu-Natal is not entirely accurate."
KwaZulu-Natal is Zuma's home province and has the ANC's largest number of members.
Earlier this month, the party announced that the membership in the province had grown by 90 000 between January and September.
Mkhize said the growth in KwaZulu-Natal had been a steady process and reflected the stability in the province.
Target reached
In 1942, the ANC decided to achieve a target of one million members during its centenary year.
"During the centenary celebrations President Zuma announced that this target had been reached," said Mkhize.
"Coming from a province that hosts 21% of the population of the country, clearly a higher contribution was expected."
He said the ANC currently has 1.2-million members, of which 331 000 were from KwaZulu-Natal.
"It seems our sin of being the home province of the incumbent president [means] we are attracting the most adverse of commentaries."
Mkhize bemoaned those who attached tribal connotations to discredit the ANC in KwaZulu-Natal and the work it had done.
He said the province had learnt some lessons since the ANC's last national elective conference in Polokwane in 2007.
To achieve unity in the provinces, there needed to be strong unity at national level.
"Similarly, KwaZulu-Natal learnt that the trauma of unmanaged contest involving the topmost leadership may result in trauma within all levels in the party, with significant repercussions in the support base and society in general," said Mkhize.
"This means that there is no one in KwaZulu-Natal who has the appetite ... [for] another Polokwane-type battle in Mangaung ... There must be no blood on the floor and the integrity of the ANC must be preserved," he said.
But Mkhize said the situation at the Polokwane conference was different to what it was today.
He said the current leadership would be assessed.
"No leadership collective can preside over a term of office that will not attract both successes and failures, or praise and criticism with equal measure.
"It must count for something that the ANC has registered growth to reach the one million member mark as a sign of successful leadership," said Mkhize.
The fact that there was a better relationship between the ANC and its alliance partners – the South African Communist Party and the Congress of South African Trade Unions – despite huge challenges, was credit to the leadership elected in 2007, he said. – Sapa

Tori Spelling Pregnant Again With Fourth Child
Tori Spelling is pregnant again; only five months after giving birth to her third child.
The actress made the surprising revelation on her official website earlier this week. However, she may not have to change plans she previously had announced of getting back in to shape.
The former "Beverly Hills 90210" actress is married to actor Dean McDermott. The couple welcomed daughter, Hattie, to the world in October 2011. This will be the fourth child for Spelling, who will join Hattie as well as big brother Liam, 5 and sister Stella, 3 in the family.
Spelling has remained in the media spotlight in recent years, being seen in reality show "Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood."
She recently told Entertainment Tonight, "A part of me is like, you know, I'm supposed to be wanting to get back into shape and then the other half is like wait, it's holiday season -- I want to eat and be merry."
She added, "So I resigned to let go of that and I'm going to start in January."

Shh…we're part of 30 (maybe 35) poets sharing their five favorite poetry books during National Poetry Month, which is almost over! Although the month comes to a close, the recommendations live forever on the 32 Poems blog. Don't believe me? This post about how the five favorite poetry books idea came to be tells you what you need to know—and provides links to other book recommendations.
Now, Steven Allen May shares his suggestions:
EECCHHOOEESS by n. h. pritchard. New York University Press, 1971.
Norman H. Pritchard is not a household name although he ought to be recognized as an early American Concrete poet. The fact that he was an Afro-American Concrete poet seems to have confused a number of people; reviewers, the buying public, etc. However it should be noted that his two full collections were published by New York University Press and Doubleday. His work was extremely ahead of his time, highly visual, and nearly impossible to read. That's the challenge. That's the reward.
Metropolis 1-15 by Robert Fitterman. Sun & Moon Press, 2000.
Fitterman, working in a parallel universe as Rachel Blau DuPlessis with her Drafts series, has re-imagined the long poem form. His Metropolis series aims to be as large as the city that crafted it (New York). Here each section is a different form, a different tone, a different voice. It's an incredible beginning!
Silent Type by Barbara DeCesare. Paper Kite Press, 2007. Barbara DeCesare is a poet, any book of hers is more than worth reading but HEARING her read her work is that much better. Once you hear her, the voice snakes off the page and into your ears as though she is whispering her poems just to you. The book is an experience. Catching her live is an experience, listening to her CD is an experience. How often can that be said about a POET?
That This by Susan Howe. New Directions, 2010. The 2011 winner of Yale University's Bollinger Prize in American Poetry. I have an appreciation of Ms. Howe's work going back several years now and I found this book heartfelt and very moving. At the same time, I was less engaged in the middle third of the book as it seemed I have seen this act before in earlier books of hers: shredded text. The final section, the title piece, is remarkable, making the experience more than worthwhile.
jambandbootleg by Paul Siegell. A-head Publishing, 2009. Paul Siegell is a young gun poet in Philadelphia who has successfully fused his love of live music performance by, say, Phish, for example, with highly visual components. This is his initial book and it absolutely has launched him. Pay attention to this one!
BIO: stevenallenmay is a poet, publisher, and blogger living in Northern VA. He co-founded Plan B Press in 1999. Last year Plan B Press published the highly regarded Full Moon on K Street: poems about Washington D.C. edited by Kim Roberts. When not running the Press, steven chases around his two small children.

"The qualities in music which I considered most important -- and still do -- were beauty, simplicity, originality, discrimination, and sincerity." ~ Paul Desmond
Desmond, the late saxophone great, would appreciate the above referenced qualities in A Bunch of Guitars and a Cello. Jeffrey Cashen has created a diverse and interesting musical landscape with his new release. Ignoring conventional musical genre and instrument grouping boundaries, he has assembled a collection of songs that challenge categorization while nevertheless fitting together like a master melodious patchwork quilt. A bunch of guitars is, in essence, four or five gifted guitarists clustered on each composition. The cello in the title refers to the excellently full and deep cello playing of Cameron Sawzin.
"A Child Is Born" begins the journey, and immediately illustrates that some delightful jazzy guitar will be presented along this voyage. The classical music inspired "Music Box Madness" follows in three movements, all featuring the teamwork of five guitarists. The song's premise is described in the CD liner notes as the search for a mythical music box. In Part 1, The Search, the journey to find the music box has the explorers traveling through a magical countryside as they discover unusual and beautiful sights and sounds. Part 2, Dreams, is a time of peaceful reflection upon their fairy-tale quest. Part 3, Discovery and Dance, consists of the actual discovery. When opened the magical music box plays its song; a tango dance marked by glides and sudden pauses.
The beautiful somber and brief "It's A Lonesome Old Town" is abruptly followed by "Secret Agent Man" displaying the bass of John Sippel and percussion sounds of Rick Andre in concert with Cashen's burning Roy Buchanan style guitar licks that approximate the Link Wray rumble. Yes, it's the same Secret Agent Man that was the theme for the 60's television series and the hit for Johnny Rivers; but no, it eclipses both of those with Cashen's contemporary arrangement leaving them behind like a Corvette drag racing versus a four-cylinder. This rocking treatment is a most refreshing detour from the slower songs that, on occasion, briefly bog down.
As the title suggests, "Blue Latin," is a jazzy Latin-tinged delight, with guitarist Steve Kirby providing a beautifully appealing guitar solo. The duo of Sippel and Andre return once more to add their savory flavoring. Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Meditation" is also aptly named and velvety soft as a gentle Caribbean breeze, with faint hints of a possible change in the weather. This expressive grouping of four guitars, escorted by Cashen, lifts you away to a place of serene tranquility.
The late, great Jazz trumpet icon Freddy Hubbard's classic "Sky Dive" is masterfully done. The four guitars spiral together, with a lovely cool whirling guitar solo provided by Tonga Ross-Ma'u, and complimenting percussion by Cashen and Steve Badessa. It's easy to visualize floating and soaring on a hang glider above a gorgeous coastline while experiencing the exhilaration of descending from the sky. The song is extremely satisfying, and perhaps the most rewarding song on this fine disc.
The placid "Polka Dots and Moonbeams" is an outlet of meaningful expression for the guitarists that reminds me of the dulcet sounds of Chet Atkins circa the release of his sweetly gratifying Sails. The trek gracefully ends with another fleeting tune that is classically inspired called "A Short Trip."
On A Bunch of Guitars and a Cello talented guitarist/teacher/arranger/composer Jeffrey Cashen pursues a variety of musical styles with vision, passion and profundity. This release may not be commercially viable, pandering to more eclectic tastes or guitar players and aficionados. Yet, it is risk taking releases, such as A Bunch of Guitars and a Cello, which continually keep Jazz growing; healthily moving ever onward to produce deep emotional reactions.

Whenever you climb, try to stay out from underneath the big walls of this crumbling mountain. This photo is of a huge dust cloud that was sent billowing up from the East side of Middle Sister by some major rockfall. I was near the bottom of the SE ridge of North Sister and could hear the rocks raining down from the side of the mountain...

The mere mention of Indianapolis Pike High School causes Cincinnati fans to salivate. The Pavlovian response can be attributed to the talented Pike graduates who chose UC for their college home.
