Watch Yu Darvish Embarrass Albert Pujols and the Los Angeles Angels With Five Pitches at Once
By Jason Heid Published in FrontBurner April 25, 2013 1:15 pm
Last night the Texas Rangers defeated the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (yes, that's their official, obnoxious name) by a score of 11-3. Yu Darvish again looked like a Cy Young candidate, striking out 11 in six shutout innings.
From those events, a user on SB Nation's Rangers site, Lone Star Ball, created the glorious .gif you see here, which actually layers five different images to allow you to watch all of the pitches with which Yu embarrassed the Angels' vaunted lineup. It's apparently been making the Internet rounds, deservedly, this morning.

As Hurricane Irene continues to creep up the East Coast, folks in New York and the world over are waiting to see what will happen when the storm hits the Big Apple. The hurricane, which is packing winds of around 80 miles per hour and upwards, touched down yesterday in North Carolina and has been working its way North, with Maryland and New Jersey feeling the effects, and is expected to hit New York City any time now. You can watch the hurricane live in New York via Livestream's Hurricane Live Cam.
Livestream is streaming live from the 16th floor of their headquarters in Midtown Manhattan. It looks pretty dark and foggy at the moment, but that's not stopping over 12,500 viewers from tuning in. You can check out the stream below and click here to see footage from Saturday afternoon, before the storm began.
While New Yorkers holding hurricane parties have a firsthand view of the storm out of their own (hopefully taped-up) windows, Livestream is letting friends and loved ones of New Yorkers, as well as natural disaster fanatics, get their own firsthand view as Hurricane Irene makes her way through the city.
Have you been affected by Hurricane Irene, or are you waiting? Are you having a hurricane party, are you cowering in a basement corner? Feel free to share your experience with us in the comments below!

MIAMI Katrina Colleton tied a career high with 19 points and Kristen Rasmussen set one with 17 as the Miami Sol beat the Portland Fire 69-62 Wednesday night in the first meeting of the WNBA expansion franchises.
Earlier this season, Colleton scored 19 points against New York, but Rasmussen, a rookie out of Michigan State, had never even reached double figures before. She was 3-of-4 from the field and 11-of-12 from the free throw line.
Miami starting center Marlies Askamp went scoreless in 19 minutes, but the 6-foot-2 Rasmussen picked up the slack in the paint.
Reserve Milena Flores added nine points as the Sol (8-14) ended a two-game lge Pland (7-14) never led in the second half getting as close as 45-44 with 6:47 remaining.
The Sol won despite shooting only 36 percent (18-of-49) from the field. They went to the line 44 times, making 31 free throws, to only 11-of-19 for Portland.
DeMya Walker led the Fire (7-14) with 12 points, while Michelle Marciniak added 11. The Fire had won four of their last five games, including an impressive win at Los Angeles that ended the Sparks' 12-game winning streak.
Prior to the game, the Sol activated guard Umeki Webb and placed guard Jameka Jones on the injured list with chronic patellar tendinitis. Webb, who suited up but didn't play, had been out with tarsal tunnel syndrome in her left foot.
Miracle 88, Shock 78
ORLANDO, Fla. Nykesha Sales had 20 points and seven assists to lead all the Orlando starters in double figures as the Miracle tied a season-high scoring output in a victory over the Detroit Shock.
Taj McWilliams had 19 points, 10 rebounds and four blocked shots for Orlando, which shot 56.9 percent from the field (37-for-65), while Cintia Dos Santos had a career-high 17 points and five blocks. Shannon Johnson contributed 15 points and Adrienne Johnson had 12 for the Miracle.
Orlando (14-8) led by at least 10 points and as many as 23 in the second half.
The Shock (10-11) shot 40.3 percent for the game (27-for-67) and made 17 of 22 free throws. Detroit outrebounded Orlando 36-22.
Claudia Maria das Neve had 19 points for Detroit, while Wendy Palmer scored 15 and Astou Ndiaye-Diatta added 11.
Detroit trailed 85-64 with 4:15 remaining, then closed the game with a 14-3 run.
Orlando lost reserve guard Elaine Powell with 5:14 left in the first half when she landed awkwardly on a drive to the basket. Powell was carried off the floor and the team said she had "possible" ligament and cartilage tears in her knee.
Orlando led 30-23 when Powell was injured and finished the half on a 14-6 run to lead 44-29.

Jennifer Lawrence admits she would pretty much stalk John Stamos if she could get away with it.
Never mind the 49-year-old Stamos probably has socks older than 22-year-old Lawrence. While being interviewed by Conan O'Brien recently, Lawrence talked about what a mess she was while meeting Stamos at a party.
"He was at a party, and I turned into a perverted guy," Lawrence told Conan. "I was, like, following him into rooms and staring at his ass. I lost my mind. And I got so upset — I didn't want to meet him because when I meet people, it's never good, and I was avoiding him, but then my friends brought him over because my friends are jerks, and I started really freaking out and he asked me if I was on mushrooms and I was like, 'No. I'm dead sober. This is just me.'"
Jennifer Lawrence is the greatest human being who has ever lived in Hollywood.
Of course, this all came as news to Stamos, according to MSN.com.
"For the first time I was totally oblivious," he tweeted. When a follower said he envied Stamos for having Jennifer Lawrence salivate over his rear end, he replied, "I envy myself!"
Good answer.

What I Learned From Looking Into the Future
Last week, at Think Tank by Adobe, Jeff Vijungco spent an afternoon pondering the future of work with a group of forward-thinking individuals. They discussed how government, data science, transportation, and people's motivation to work will all undergo a massive shift over the next 5, 10 and 20 years – and employees and employers will need to embrace what's coming to be successful. Here are Jeff's top five key takeaways from the discussion.


text:
Backed by a 13-piece orchestra conducted by one of Broadway's best musical directors, Michael Rafter, and armed with new orchestrations by the great Jonathan Tunick, Peterson and Mallory proved that they still have what it takes. The evening began with a smart piece of special material, "There" (music by Jesse Wiener; lyric by Peterson and Wiener), that told us all about the young Kurt and Vicky and how they got to Manhattan. They met as students at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy and while studying found employment in children's theater, which supplied a charming coupling of two songs they introduced in separate gigs, Peterson as a prince-turned-frog and Mallory as, you guessed it, a princess. Before you know it, they are being cast in "West Side Story" by composer Leonard Bernstein and producer Richard Rodgers, and their careers and romance are off and running. Judging from their rendition of "Tonight" tonight, they must have been quite something.
The concert continued in chronological fashion through material from Jerry Herman's "Dear World," Bob Merrill's "Carnival" (Mallory played Lili at City Center), and Stephen Sondheim's "Follies," "A Little Night Music," and "Company" (Peterson was Bobby in the show's Canadian premiere). Augmented by a variety of terrific period photographs by Broadway show photogs Kenn Duncan and Van Williams that capture them in the glow of youth, the festivities soon took on a heart-tugging "Follies"-like air.
Though the two did re-create songs that they had once performed, they also made the fortuitous choice of singing material they didn't introduce from shows they were in, which provided more than a few of the evening's highlights. These would include a touching pairing of Mallory on "And I Was Beautiful" and Peterson doing "Kiss Her Now," both from "Dear World," and a wry "The Little Things You Do Together," from "Company" (their long-ago love affair added more than a frisson of emotion to these). Mallory also scored with a simple and direct "Send in the Clowns," and the "Follies" duet "Too Many Mornings" was beautifully sung and full of feeling. Indeed, you could sense how these performances were being informed by repeated close-up viewing of the originals. Far from copies, they had a fascinating integrity.
Other standouts included Mallory's thoughtfully acted "I Remember" (Stephen Sondheim, from the TV musical "Evening Primrose"), which she did in the 1974 Peterson-produced Broadway tribute to the composer-lyricist, and Peterson's robust and just as intelligently acted "Being Alive." But the best of all was getting a chance to hear two songs they introduced in "Follies": Mallory's aching "One More Kiss" and Peterson's "You're Gonna Love Tomorrow," a high-spirited duet in which Mallory joined him as they reproduced Michael Bennett's magical choreography, complete with her leap into his arms punctuated with a high kick. Take that, time!
The celebrity-dotted audience included "Dear World" star Angela Lansbury, "Follies" star John McMartin, "Night Music" star Patricia Elliott, and legendary producer-director Harold Prince. Indeed, the small and tight-knit Broadway community was out in force to welcome the prodigals home. But though this was just a one-night affair, a benefit for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, "When Everything Was Possible" has legs. I wouldn't be surprised to see it return elsewhere for a longer engagement, and if it does no young performer starting out in musical theater should miss it. Not only will you learn a lot; it'll give you hope.
Presented by James William Productions and Stephenie Skyllas as a benefit for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS at New York City Center, 131 W. 55th St., NYC. Sun., April 29, 7:30 p.m.

Whoa. Any Aussies here and have an idea how likely something like this will pass?
To be honest, I'm not really sure. The vast majority of the new pieces I've read have been against it, but I haven't really noticed much discussion about it.

96% opposed

Sound :
Definitively a noticeable change, not so much in low revs, but around 4500 rpm and up, when accelerating the sound is more ... how to explain this ? In music terms I would say it has more "bass" . As a test, I didn't tell my son anything about the Fabspeed intake, and he didn't know it was installed, but as soon as we hit the road and I accelerated, he immediately noticed something was different and he prefers the new sound.
Power increase :
As I didn't go through the trouble to dyno the car before/after, I can't comment on this HP or TQ gain, but I'll take your word for it :-)
After all, a 997.2 4S has 385 HP with 420 Nm, so a +16 WHP represents a 4% increase. Although impressive in numbers, with sport mode or sport+ mode on, it would be very difficult to feel the difference.
Overall comment :
Sound is definitively more aggressive in high RPM, performance probably a bit better and the air intake certainly looks fantastic when I open the engine cover !!!
Posted by Unknown on 27th Jul 2016
Very pleased with the look and sound of this easy to install add-on. If you're looking for great sound and a seat of the pants faster feel, this is the one!
Posted by Unknown on 23rd Apr 2016
997 4S - Power is found right away, breaths way better, installed with evo chip and its not the same car anymore, also installed bypass pipes but had to take them off as they are way too loud for city use, took forty minutes before i got pulled over by a good looking blond haired police officer, got no ticket but got a warning that i sounded very fast..
For racers out there the bypass is great for the track
Posted by N Vrbancic, Calgary AB on 13th Apr 2016
Just installed my new intake with my friend, and couldn't be happier with the new sound and power!! The engine literally howls and barks over 4500 rpm. I now drive in the upper rev range and keep my windows and targa roof open to enjoy the sound. Fantastic value, will be looking for more upgrades from Fabspeed.
Posted by RJ on 28th Jan 2016
My girlfriend was with me when I opened the box to this stunningly beautiful "lampshade" well at least that's what she initially thought it was! I laughed but then continued to explain to her that it was a performance intake for my 997 carrera lol I now like to refer to this as my "competition lampshade", that makes my engine roar and breathe with ease. These along with my fabspeed straight pipes and dual black fabspeed exhaust tip seriously have transformed my car. These are beautiful parts and the result in Hp and torque gain is just perfect for me. Worth every penny! I don't work for fabspeed at all I am just a Porsche collector and enthusiast. @rafael7b

Verry fast shipping took 2 weeks to Norway.
Great support from seller when I had some questions.
Open the box and the air intake lock amazing. .
Afrer one hour it was installed.
And it was like a new car faster and louder just like I want it
Posted by Jerry on 10th Aug 2015
This simple addition to your 911 will dramatically change how enjoyable it is to drive you car and rev out the engine! I did not expect this to improve the sound of the car, and it only changes it when you go deep into the throttle which is nice for cruising. Awesome buy, worth every penny!
Posted by George on 25th Jun 2015
The product is exactly as described. Perfect fit, looks outstanding and the sound is great under acceleration especially when I go over 5,000 RPM where I also notice significant power increase.
Friends asked what I did to my exhaust. I told them it is still stock, it is all induction sound from my Fabspeed air intake. AWESOME
Posted by John Skala on 20th Mar 2015
Received the intake today and it arrived in great time for the weekend cruise. Opened the box and everything was package perfectly. The craftsmanship on all the parts was outstanding. Honestly never seen so much care taken in the creation of a part. It looks awesome too. Let's skip to the post-install run. Wow! Just like everyone else stated. Amazing sound. When it gets in that upper range it sounds super aggressive. But in a great way! Sounds like I did something to my exhaust more than anything else. Has a great "race car" sound.
ECU is still adjusting. Need to give a touch more gas coming out of first because it bogs down a bit but overall the throttle response has improved and once the ECU adjusts I'm sure the power will be readily available.
I looked up the instructions just for some fill-in reference as pulling out an air box is a simple task. Long story short, the whole install took about 30 minutes. Probably could have been quicker had I not been taking pictures and goofing off. Easy install. Also, the tamper proof torx bit is a T-20 or 25 I believe. Not a T-10. I'm not pulling out my tools to look but the T-10 is far too small.
Recommendation.... After you install everything, grab a black zip-tie and slide it under the left intake tube clamp. Tighten the clamp down all the way and then zip it around your oil fill tube. It'll keep it nicely in place and won't bounce around and you can barely tell a zip-tie is there. I'm looking into modifying the fill tube so it will be shorter and have a housing with a cap that will lock in and sit flush with the cutout in the partition. Should clean it up nicely. Just a thought for anyone else wondering what to do with that piece.
Anyhow... Props to Fabspeed for their great customer service and an amazing product. Next up is the exhaust. Can't wait!
Posted by Dustin C. on 11th Nov 2014
I installed this on a 2007 Carrera S a few weeks ago. Out of the box (and on the car) the parts are beautifully made. The carbon fiber is gorgeous and all brackets looked jet-cut and hand-TIG'd. Installation was a little interesting, the directions (and parts) were for a 996 and there's a real difference from the 997. The guys at Fabspeed were very helpful, though, and I got it all put together in about 1.5 hours. I rethought some cable placement and was able to pull the entire thing off and put it back on about about 40 minutes. Once you know what you're doing it's cake. The sound is positively outstanding! It's almost dead-stock at part throttle and sounds like a race car wide open. As others have said, above 5k it sounds like a big angry animal with a personal grudge against the road. I'd certainly recommend it to anyone looking to get a little performance, a little "bling" for their engine bay, and some seriously great sound.

Better known for its association with cotton and catfish, the Mississippi Delta has a fascinating relationship with the tamale. The history of the hot tamale in this area reaches back to at least the early part of the twentieth century. Reference to the Delta delicacy appears in the song "They're Red Hot," which was recorded by legendary bluesman Robert Johnson in 1936.

Giants keeping tabs on former mate Molina
Giants keeping tabs on former mate Molina
SAN FRANCISCO -- As the Giants prepared for Game 4 of the National League Championship Series on Wednesday at AT&T Park, one of their former teammates was in the midst of his quest to advance to the World Series. Bengie Molina, who spent three-plus seasons with the Giants before being traded to the Rangers on July 1, was playing in New York in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series, as Texas tried to clinch the pennant. Molina, 36, was a clubhouse favorite in San Francisco and a key component in the growth of Giants starting pitchers Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain and Jonathan Sanchez. In both of his NL Cy Young Award-winning seasons, Lincecum gave Molina credit for putting him in position to succeed.
On Wednesday, before the Giants tried to take a commanding 3-1 series lead over the Phillies, Lincecum said he'll always owe a great deal to Molina. "He's definitely molded me into a better pitcher," Lincecum said. "He's the one calling the pitches and I'm the one agreeing, and obviously I get the last say and everything, but if it hadn't been for him reading all the batters, knowing how the batters swing, he's a seasoned vet that knows a lot about every single guy that comes up." With the Giants and Rangers each among the final four teams standing, there is a chance Molina could face his former team, as well as step into the batter's box against the standout pitchers he helped mold. Truthfully, Lincecum said he wasn't sure how he would pitch to his former battery mate. "Obviously, I've seen him just save my butt a few times in games with home runs on low pitches and just funky pitches, pitches out of the zone," Lincecum said. "I don't know. Maybe I'll just throw them right down the middle and maybe I'll get away with it. We'll see."

Microsoft's new operating system, Windows 8, is right around the corner and PC manufacturers have started launching their special products designed to accommodate the OS. HP has officially released the Envy X2 tablet, which is similar to Asus Vivo and Transformer Book. HP is back on track after the failure of TouchPad. Envy X2 from HP can be used as a tablet and notebook. This isn't something new, but yes, it carries a few unique enhancements.
The tablet and the keyboard are made of aluminum, making it easy to hold.
This ultra modern device has an HD touch display screen that measures 11.6 inches. The screen can be easily detached from the keyboard and placed back with the help of magnets. The screen is thin and it easily fits into your palm. The main8.0 mega pixel camera on the screenis great for clicking pictures and the HD camera on the front is perfect for video calling. Playing games, watching videos, checking emails and more can be done with this tablet. HP boasts of having an IPS screen with 400 nit brightness. With 64 GB of storage space you can store music, apps, videos, pictures and if you are looking for more space, a microSD card can be used.
The keyboard when attached to the screen is perfect to function as a computer.
HP Envy X2 is a wonderful combo of the laptop and tablet. This new device is sure to make many heads turn. Samsung Ativ Smart PC which is expected to launch anytime soon, is considered competition. Things will get clearer once the gadget hits the market. However, with the full version of Windows 8 and other impressive features, Envy X2 is going to prove a tough competitor.HP has rightly called it "Envy".

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — The world of professional cycling is reeling after the bombshell "60 Minutes" interview with a former teammate of Lance Armstrong's.
As Mary Bubala reports, a grand jury is hearing secret testimony about the doping allegations, as the local cycling scene is taking it all in.
"He was using EPO during the Tour de France?" asked Scott Pelley.
"Correct," said Tyler Hamilton.
Scott Pelley's interview with Hamilton marks a huge crack in Lance Armstrong's inner circle, one that protected him until now.
"I saw him inject it more than one time," said Hamilton.
"You saw Lance Armstrong inject it?" asked Pelley.
"…. yeah, like we all did," Hamilton said.
EPO is a banned performance-enhancing substance. "60 Minutes" reports Hamilton has told a grand jury in Los Angeles he and Lance Armstrong used it while competing and winning the Tour de France.
Hamilton says they used code names for the doping agents and communicated on secret phones. He also says a failed drug test was covered up.
"How do you know he had a positive test?" asked Pelley.
"He told me," said Hamilton.
"What happened?"
"People took care of it," said Hamilton.
The effects of the allegations against Armstrong are now just starting to trickle down to the local cycling scene.
Joel Traill, owner of Joe's Bike Shop in Baltimore, says he's met Tyler Hamilton.
"Sadly, I think that's the way professional cycling views doping. This is the way the game is played. If we get caught then we are penalized, but this is what we do," said Traill.
"60 Minutes" also says George Hincapie, the teammate closest to Armstrong, also told federal authorities Armstrong took performance-enhancing drugs.
Armstrong continues to deny the allegations but for how long remains to be seen.
"I feel bad that I had to go there and do this but I think at the end of the day long-term the sport is going to be better off for it," said Hamilton.
The International Cycling Union denies it helped cover up the failed drug test.

The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence is mourning the loss of what has been a powerful voice in their behalf. Country singer Mindy McCready's death, an apparent suicide, has silenced one of their most effective voices.
"NCADV is saddened by the news of Mindy's death, and we send condolences to her family, friends and fans," said executive director Rita Smith in a prepared statement that was quoted this week by the Orlando Sentinel. "We worked with her after she left an abusive relationship to raise awareness about domestic violence, and she used her incredible voice to carry a message to other survivors that was a powerful call to keep struggling to get free."
The singer's message was the song "Black and Blue," written about a previous relationship in which she was injured due to domestic violence. She talked about the violence in her relationship on Larry King Live in late 2005, explaining in part how low self-esteem played a role in sending her back even after she was abused.
In 2006, she was the features speaker at the coalition's national conference.
The singer, 37, mom to two young boys, died Sunday of what was believed to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Her boyfriend, David Wilson, died last month of what appeared also to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. That is still under investigation.
Smith noted that, "For many people who experience abuse, the effects can continue to be devastating for many years in the future."Comment on this story
News articles, including one by FoxNews, have questioned whether a brain injury from domestic violence may have influenced her lethal actions. "These repeated brain injuries can lead to increased problems cognitively, physically and emotionally, which just exacerbates the vicious cycle of the violent relationship," wrote Fox's Patrick B. Donohue. "These victims typically lack the knowledge about their brain injury so they do not seek services related to their injury. Also, the professional system to help victims of domestic violence is often unaware of the correlation between this crime and traumatic brain injury. By not linking the psychodynamic issues between the assault and their brain injury, professionals are not referring these victims to appropriate rehabilitation services."
The singer's recent past has been littered with reports of problems, including a history of addiction and fierce custody battles surrounding her children.

Maldini ready for 100th Champions League match
Paolo Maldini will make his 100th Champions League appearance on Tuesday night against Celtic but the AC Milan skipper believes the milestone does not tell the whole picture.
The defender won the European Cup with a star-studded Milan side in 1989 and 1990 before winning Europe's elite prize again in 1994 and 2003 after it became the Champions League.
And the 38-year-old hinted he feels the publicity surrounding his 100th appearance masks his true impact on European football.
He said: 'Obviously it's a big honour for me. But I used to play in the competition when it was not called the Champions League and I feel I have made more than 100 appearances.'
Maldini is desperate to win the trophy for the fifth time but he refused to divulge whether this would be his final attempt.
He is expected to retire at the end of this season but he could keep playing beyond his 39th birthday in June.
The Italian said: 'It will be one of the last, I'm not sure it will be the last. I keep playing because I like this challenge, this type of match.'
Maldini's 100th Champions League appearance in the first leg of the last-16 tie in Glasgow has been overshadowed by the crisis in Italian football sparked by the death of a policeman in violence before a Sicilian derby.
Milan's last game at the San Siro was played in front of just 21,000 fans as work to meet new security guidelines began.
But Maldini does not feel extra pressure because of the tragedy before a game between Catania and Palermo on February 2.
He said: 'Football is nothing to do with what happened in Catania.
'Obviously there is a problem with violence but it's a social problem. We don't feel UEFA or FIFA will have their eyes on us.'
Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti hopes to have Clarence Seedorf and Alberto Gilardino available for the Parkhead clash.
The pair trained last night despite minor injuries, with Seedorf nursing a thigh strain and Gilardino suffering from a knee problem.

Although CNN is claiming that pill is use outpacing marijuana amongst college kids, its sources are problematic. The major national surveys-- which, although not perfect, are considered the best sources of data on drug trends-- do not find that more college students use prescription drugs than marijuana.
Monitoring the Future is the national survey done by the University of Michigan for the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Its most recent report finds that 49% of college students report having tried marijuana-- while just 26.6% have used any other drug illegally. If we look at specific prescription medications, the numbers are significantly lower. For example, 12.3% have taken amphetamine (usually prescribed for attention-deficit disorder) recreationally; 14.4% have misused prescription pain medications.
If we look at recent use, the numbers are the same: 19.5% have smoked marijuana in the last 30 days, but just 3.1% have misused prescription pain medication and 2.9% have misused amphetamines.
While CNN's source Joe Califano says he "wouldn't be surprised if right now at this point in time, there are more kids abusing prescription drugs than abusing marijuana,"-- actual drug researchers would be. The data just doesn't support that contention. Califano heads Columbia's National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse, which is notorious for its misuse of statistics.
Similarly, while CNN claims that prescription drug misuse is especially common in the middle class, this is also not borne out by the data. Young adults who don't attend college (and are thus less likely to be middle class) are more likely to misuse prescription drugs than those who do go to university, according to the same national data.
While some prescription drug use has been increasing (and other use is down) amongst college students, it has a long, long way to go if it's going to catch up with marijuana, something that has never been seen even when prescription drug use rates were extremely high in the early 80's.

Rome (AFP) March 22, 2011
The UN's food agency marked World Water Day on Tuesday by calling for new and innovative approaches to ensuring city dwellers in developing countries have access to safe and adequate water supplies.
"Ensuring access to nutritious, affordable food for the poorer of these city-dwellers is emerging as a real challenge," Alexander Mueller, a Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) spokesman said in a statement.
"Within the next 20 years, 60 percent of the world's population will live in cities, with most urban expansion taking place in the developing world," the assistant head of Natural Resources said.
The Rome-based FAO warned that increased water supplies will be needed by growing city populations for drinking, washing and cooking, as well as for expanding marketplaces, agro-industry and food processing operations.
"This array of pressures on urban water supplies requires non-conventional alternatives to creating more resilient cities," Mueller said.
Rainwater harvesting in cities holds great potential for urban agriculture, the FAO said, but is an idea relatively untapped so far.
Many low-income city-dwellers have long relied on backyard gardens or chicken coops as a way to supplement their incomes and feed their families.
Urban residents, who purchase rather than grow their own food, are especially vulnerable to increases in food prices, which in turn has seen a return to traditional practises of cultivating food in urban settings, the agency said.
"Right now, farmers and cities are competing for water. Cities are using water then putting it back out, polluting the environment," Javier Mateo-Sagasta, a specialist with FAO's Water Unit, said in the statement.
"It would make so much more sense if more of the water used in the cities was then cleaned and re-used in agriculture," he said.
FAO said it is working with its member countries to explore options for water re-use, pointing out that in Tunisia, where treatment infrastructure is well established, 30-40 percent of purified wastewater is used in agriculture.
Farmers in the Tula Valley, downstream from Mexico City, irrigate 90,000 hectares of land using yearly 1 500 million cubic meters of untreated municipal wastewater.

"We have a crisis, we must recognise that," Joan Clos, UN Habitat executive director, told an event marking the day.
"We need to act now. This is a common action at the same time against the slums and against lack of water and sanitation. It's the same problem, it's the same solution: urban planning."
Targets set by the UN poverty-reduction Millennium Development Goals had seen improvements but unplanned urbanisation and unprecedented migration to cities have expanded slums without basic services.
"In general, more or less, everything is improving. But in the urban environment in some parts of the world and in Africa in particular we are facing a crisis. Things are not improving, they are worsening," said Clos.
According to the United Nations, 27 percent of the world's city dwellers in the developing world lives without piped water at home, while proper sanitation faces even greater challenges.
A UN report on Monday said 400 million of Africa's one billion people live in cities, a number projected to rise to over 1.2 billion by 2050.
Sixty percent live in slums, with those without safe drinking water at over 55 million and some 175 million without reasonable sanitation in 2008.

RALEIGH, NC (WWAY) — The Catholic Diocese of Raleigh today announced plans for a new cathedral in the capital city.
The campus would be built near Western Blvd. and Centennial Parkway. It would include a 2,000 seat cathedral estimated to cost $75-90 million. The new facility will be called Holy Name of Jesus Cathedral. It will replace Sacred Heart Cathedral built in 1924, which the diocese says is the smallest cathedral in the continental United States.
Bishop Michael Burbidge said prior to groundbreaking, the church requires one-third of the money to be in cash on hand. He hopes to break ground in the spring of 2013.
The diocese comprises 54 counties in eastern North Carolina, serving nearly 500,000 registered and unregistered Catholics.

The Posting Frequency Phenomenon
You're a blogger. You've posted a ton of articles and built a decent base of traffic from a number of sources that drives a decent amount of traffic to your site which generates a decent amount of revenue.
Then one day, you stop posting. It could be for a number of reasons...you're tired, you're burnt out, or your day job and the rest of life is so busy. Regardless of the reason, you stop posting altogether.
Over a two month period, what happens to the traffic? In theory, if a majority of your traffic comes from posts on previous years...it hasn't lost any relevance, should your traffic suffer?
Well, this what I will explore in a couple of short minutes. I basically stopped posting in January and with the exception of a small post in February have done nothing in terms of this site.
What happened to my traffic? Let's look at the graph below.
It's been a pretty steady decline over the period of the two months in which I stopped posting regularly. In the last month where I did not post at all, it was a 10% overall decline. Since January 2nd, the total traffic has fallen almost 50% from the peak to yesterday March 23rd. There would seem to reason there is a lot of seasonality around the holidays (specifically with Wii posts), but there is no question that Google has sent less traffic my way.
The real question is whether or not the algorhythm that Google uses is taking recency into account and penalizing me for not posting. Or, if simply people are searching less for the results that traditionally bring traffic to the site. While not a fact yet, when I did post yesterday, I did notice about a 10% bump and uptick in traffic again. Not conclusive, but will be an intersting data point as I attempt to post more frequently over the next couple of weeks.
Of more interest though, is that my overall revenue from advertising has not fallen despite the shortage in traffic. Which seems to indicate that either advertisers are spending more per click, or the customers themselves are high revenue generating for me. It's possible to tell, but I'll need to download my Google Adsense data for the last couple of month to verify.
With all that being said, I have two hypothesis:
1. Even with older articles, sites that have more frequent updates are likely to get more traffic, even to that old content.
2. Even with the lower amount of traffic, for some reason more profitable (to me) visitors are coming to the site.
We'll discover a little more as to the answers over the next week or two...assuming the traffic comes back and validates hypothesis #1.

I would disconnect and remove the account. But CK gets the information from Equifax and Transunion. If after disconnecting the account, waiting a day or two, if it still shows up, then you really need to do as already suggested and go to the Crddit reporting agencies and dispute.

Ysgol Goronwy Owen head was investigated for bullying
A suspended head teacher had previously been investigated over a bullying allegation, BBC Wales has learned.
Five teachers at Ysgol Goronwy Owen, Anglesey, said they had no confidence in Ann Hughes and went on sick leave in May, returning to work this month.
She had also been suspended in 2000 but returned after the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) decided not to prosecute.
Neither Mrs Hughes, Anglesey council, the chair of the school governors nor teaching union Ucac would comment.
The Taro Naw programme to be shown on S4C on Monday also reveals the school in Benllech has in the past broken the law and wrongly destroyed documents.
In August 2010, five out of the six teachers at the school made a complaint about Mrs Hughes to the school's governors, who upheld the complaint and prepared an action plan.
But the teachers, unhappy with the action plan, passed a vote of no confidence in Mrs Hughes in May 2011 and went on sick leave, citing stress.
Mrs Hughes was suspended in July, while the five teachers returned to work this month.
Independent educational adviser Julian Jones told the programme that the action plan revealed a wide range of issues.
"This plan is based on eight points of action, across all sections of the school - not only the curriculum and management but finance too," he said.
"There is weakness across all areas. It's a school with a lot of problems."
Taro Naw understands that the teachers wanted the governors to bring capability proceedings against Mrs Hughes, a formal measure used to deal with teachers' incompetency.
The local education authority has told parents that the teachers' complaints relate to lack of communication, the leadership structure and some financial decisions.
But BBC Wales has been told that the teachers have also accused Mrs Hughes of bullying.
Concerned parent
They told their union Ucac that they were working in a climate of fear and the situation was affecting their health.
The programme has also found that Mrs Hughes was suspended for several months in 2000 while police investigated an accusation of bullying made by parents.
Christine Lesser, whose dyslexic son Jamie was aged 10 at the time, was approached by a concerned parent who told her about what was happening to her son.
"She got quite upset and started to tell me all these things that were happening to Jamie whilst he was at the school," she said.
"I asked her for names of people who had witnessed things, and I went to see them to make sure I had the correct information before I did anything."
Having spoken to witnesses, Ms Lesser sent a letter to social services, who passed her complaint on to the police.
Officers were ready to support a prosecution but the CPS decided not to take the case to court and Mrs Hughes returned to work.
Despite a request by police and social services, the education authority did not retrain Mrs Hughes or address the allegations with her.
The programme also found that investigations into a separate incident in 2005 revealed that the school destroyed several documents a parent had the right to see relating to an incident involving his daughter.
They also revealed that the school did not have a policy on bullying or a complaints policy at the time, as required by law.
It found too that governors broke statutory guidelines both by sitting on more than one committee dealing with the same complaint and refusing to comply with the Welsh Government's instructions.
The council, Mrs Hughes, the chair of the school's governors and Ucac - which represents the teachers and Mrs Hughes - all decline to be interviewed by Taro Naw while the investigation is ongoing.
Taro Naw is on S4C at 21:30 BST on Monday 26 September.

CarGurus has 32,254 nationwide Terrain listings starting at $3,995.
2013 GMC Terrain Overview
Although still somewhat new, the GMC Terrain will be arriving at the fall 2012 party with newer clothes and bigger muscles for 2013. The 2013 GMC Terrain will now be available with an optional 301-hp V6 engine in addition to the standard 2.4-liter 4-cylinder and a more upscale look for the exterior. Since arriving to replace the Torrent in 2010, the GMC Terrain has remained mostly unchanged, and it gets only minor changes for 2013. The 2013 GMC Terrain appeals to those looking for a fuel-efficient small crossover SUV that is stylish but still functional.
The 2013 GMC Terrain base SLE trim will keep its current 4-cylinder engine. That 182-hp, 2.4-liter 4-cylinder will continue to provide exceptional fuel economy with an EPA estimated 22 mpg city/32 highway. It will still be available with E85 Flex-Fuel capability as well. Available towing capacity for the 4-cylinder is approximately 1,500 pounds. The GMC Terrain SLT will be available with the 2.4-liter 4-cylinder or the newly available direct-injected 3.6-liter V6 that replaces a smaller V6 offered in 2012. The new muscular V6 will provide 301 hp with 272 lb-ft of torque to the SLT. Even though the Terrain has more power, GMC assures it will maintain similar fuel economy to the smaller V6's in the front-wheel-drive 2012 Terrain at 17 mpg city/24 highway. The towing capacity of the V6 is approximately 3,500 pounds, which is very substantial for the size of this vehicle. The Terrain will feature a standard 6-speed automatic transmission. The base Terrain SLE will be available only in front-wheel-drive, while the Terrain SLT comes in a front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive version.
The interior of the 2013 GMC Terrain base trim will remain largely the same, including its 7-inch touchscreen interface and rear-view camera display. The interior space will remain comfortable and roomy, still able to handle both people and cargo at the same time. With rear seats that are able to slide and recline to provide additional room for either passengers or cargo, you can easily adjust the amount of space needed. Folding down the rear seats will provide you with approximately 63.7 cubic feet of space for any cargo you might need to take with you. The only small problem with the modern-looking dash that remains is buttons that are very close together, making them somewhat difficult to distinguish at a quick look. Additional standard features will include a power liftgate, power front seats, Smartphone integration and a lane-change warning and forward collision alert system.
The suspension and handling options for the 2013 GMC Terrain will remain the same as for prior years. It will feature a MacPherson strut front suspension, multi-link rear suspension. All this combines with front and rear stabilizer bars to provide a smooth, comfortable ride. The GMC Terrain has historically had the handling feel of a larger SUV, but does not seem to have quite the agility it should have for a small crossover SUV. All the suspension components do, however, provide a comfortable highway ride for both driver and passengers for long or short road trips.
The 2013 GMC Terrain will be equipped with standard antilock brakes as well as both stability and traction controls to provide safe braking even in quick response situations. The vehicles are also equipped with side curtain, front-seat and side-impact airbags to assure the safety of the driver and all passengers in any type of collision. All vehicles are equipped with a rear-view camera as well as OnStar capability. The Terrain will also feature additional standard electronic safety features such as a forward collision and lane-change warning system. Previous models have attained the best possible rating of Good by the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) in frontal-offset, roof and side strength tests.

By now you should have been familiar with the latest sugary treat Google has named its newest version of Android after. And if you're not, what rock have you been living under?
Google revealed everything about the new Android version on September 29, during the Nexus event, disclosing the cool, new features of Android 6.0 Marshmallow to the public. During the event, Google boasted about a wide range of new features that Android 6.0 offers, and here are some of them we consider cool:
New App Drawer
The new app drawer is the very first thing you'll notice about Android Marshmallow. Before Marshmallow, scrolling was done horizontally against a shade of your homepage wallpaper. Android 6.0 introduces vertical scrolling against a white background. And at the very top of the drawer, you will find four of your most recently used apps.
Rotating Home Screen
Google has finally brought the rotating home screen feature to Android. Now you can make use of your home screen in landscape mode.
Fingerprint Support
Fingerprint sensors are turning out to be common features on smartphones these days. Every phone manufacturer is slapping on the feature into some of their phones, coding everything on their own to make sure that the sensors work well without hitches. But this should stop soon now that Android Marshmallow is here. This is because Google is now dedicating its time to building support for fingerprint sensors into Android. This way, phone manufactures wouldn't have to worry about coding the sensors into their devices all by themselves as the feature will be supported by Android Marshmallow. With fingerprint sensors, Android device users will be able to secure their devices and authorize payments on Android Pay. The fingerprint sensor will also allow for secure app purchases on the Google Play Store.
New App Permission Structure
Before Marshmallow, and as part of their installation process, Android apps ask for access to anything they might need on your device before you are allowed to install. They usually require access to your messages, location, camera, and so on, and you have no other choice but to accept these conditions and surrender your device to the app's will.
But Android Marshmallow is here now and it allows you to decide for yourself which permission individual apps get on your device. For instance, if you wish to download Instagram, and you do not wish for Instagram to have access to your camera settings, with Android Marshmallow, you can do that. As a result, you have an idea when a particular app is using a feature and why it is using it.
App Backup and Restore
With Android Marshmallow, all your app data and settings are automatically backed up on Google Drive when your device is idle and connected to Wi-Fi. So if you ever find that your data has been wiped out or if you ever change your device, you shouldn't worry as you will now be able to restore all of your apps and settings as they were before.
Doze Battery Optimization
If there is anything that connects smartphone users to each other, it's their unending search to find better ways to utilize battery life. Google has realized this and have tailored Android Marshmallow to solve our worries. Doze is a new feature that studies how apps are used on Android devices and fine-tunes app activity accordingly. Basically, if you are not using your Android device, Doze notices this and stops such apps from running in the background and draining your battery.
Google Now on Tap
This is one of the most interesting feature Android Marshmallow offers. What it does is to take Google Now through your apps to analyze the data it finds there and provide more information on that data, and instantly, too. For instance, if you're texting someone and they invite you to the Cinema, holding the home button will activate Google Now on Tap, which will show the address of the Cinema on a map. Or if you are on TechsNG on your browser reading this particular post, Google Now might pull up 'USB Type-C' and provide more information about the new technology.
USB Type-C
Android Marshmallow has added support for USB Type-C for Android devices. This is a tiny new reversible USB format that allows you to charge smartphones, tablets, and laptops. It can also be used to transfer data between devices. Google's Pixel C, as well as the LG Nexus 5X and Huawei Nexus 6P are one of the first devices to feature the USB Type-C charger.
Cut, Copy, Paste
It might look like a minute improvement, but it is an improvement nonetheless. Marshmallow has a new way of handling copy and pasting text. With previous Android versions, you would have to move up to the top of your screen to use the cut, copy, and paste buttons on selected text. With Marshmallow, the cut, copy, and paste option will now pop up directly above the text you've selected.
With these features, it is evident that Google meant every word when they said the Marshmallow is the most polished version of Android so far. The first set of devices exhibiting this polished experience is the LG Nexus 5X, Huawei Nexus 6P, and Google's very own Pixel C, its first Android-powered tablet.
Google has confirmed that new Android version is set to be available to other Nexus devices (Nexus 5 and the Nexus 6 handsets, as well as the Nexus 7 and Nexus 9 tablets) starting from October 5.
HTC has also released a list of HTC devices that will be getting the Marshmallow update very soon.
The Android Marshmallow update is also set to be available to non-Nexus devices in the coming months.
