For centuries, Indigenous Misquito and Mayangna communities lived off the land in what is now Nicaragua's Bosawas Biosphere Reserve. For years, Nicaragua's government did not recognize the indigenous peoples' claim on the land. Also, since the end of the civil war in 1990, poor farmers, or mestizos, from different parts of the country migrated to Bosawas, converting natural forests to grazing lands and threatening both the integrity of the indigenous communities and the region's biodiversity.
USAID worked with The Nature Conservancy to support efforts to grant indigenous people titles to the lands where they live while safeguarding protected areas. The program provided legal counsel, territorial border demarcation, and training for nearly 100 voluntary forest guards. The guards enforce indigenous ecological regulations, support the region's conservation plan, and monitor game species. The program also introduced farmer-to-farmer learning models to promote best practices for agroforestry systems between communities.
Thanks partly to the program's success, Nicaragua's parliament passed an indigenous territories titling law in 2003. In May 2005, Nicaragua granted six land titles covering 2,531 squared kilometers to 41 indigenous communities in the Bosawas Reserve. The decision to grant communal, non-transferable property rights to indigenous people is a victory for both self-determination and forest conservation efforts. Now that the land legally belongs to the Misquito and Mayangna communities, they can apply the skills acquired through the program to managing their territories. By securing the rights of 21,000 indigenous peoples to the land they have used for centuries—as well as providing them with legal recourse to protect their territories—this historic land titling program will serve as a model for others in Nicaragua and throughout Mesoamerica.

Pu'u O'o
|[ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Here is where it's all happening on the Big Island. This vent, Pu'u O'o on Kilauea, has been in continuous eruption for 24 years and show no signs of stopping. Pictured here from a mile away, its densely laden clouds of gasses make it extremely dangerous to approach. (Not to mention the danger of of falling through the thin crust and into red hot lava!) Red hot lava flows almost continuously from the base and occasionally from the summit or the sides and travels 7 miles to the sea.

Inter Milan produce quality Javier Zanetti video montage to bid farewell to a legend
Just hours after Javier Zanetti's farewell Inter Milan appearance at San Siro the official Nerazzurri YouTube channel produced a video montage.
Showing Zanetti throughout his lengthy career at Inter Milan, its a well made video illustrating just what a brilliant career the Argentine had.
We particularly enjoyed those trademark runs down the right wing and on the Appiano Gentile training ground which gave Zanetti his nickname of "The Tractor."
Some of the statistics surrounding Javier Zanetti's career are just astounding!
857 appearances, 614 Serie A matches, 15 titles and 145 caps for Argentina.
5 Serie A's
4 Coppa Italia's
4 Supercoppa Italiana's
1 Champions League
1 UEFA Cup
1 FIFA Club World Cup
Farewell to a legend.

Kolkata, or Calcutta (also Cal), is a kaleidoscopic melting pot of cultures and ethnicities. There's quite possibly no Indian festival that the city doesn't celebrate with glorious hoopla. Each month sees small festive marquees popping up at every corner of the street and come October, throngs of women enwrapped in silk sarees and red bindis convene around the city, undeterred by the ever-present rains. This celebration alone is reason enough to travel to Kolkata. From the glut of vibrant attractions, the city also holds a rich vehicular heritage ranging from the big yellow taxi that floods both parts of the city (Calcutta and Howrah) divided by the reticent river Hoogly, to the hand-pulled rickshaws and rickety trams meandering the roads. Tourists will hardly ever run out of things to do in Kolkata. Starting from Kumartuli, a traditional potters' quarter, famed for its sculpted idols of gods and demons, to the architectural spectacle, that is the Howrah Bridge, Kolkata city will engulf you with its sights, sounds and scents. Calcutta's biggest, most prismatic wholesale flower market on Mullick Ghat, Victoria Memorial, the old Chinatown Tiretta Bazaar, the magnificent Nakhoda Masjid and Jorasankho (Rabindranath Tagore's ancestral home) are few of the most picturesque places to visit in Kolkata.

Unfortunately, the odds are Trayvon Martin's tragic death will be just another wasted moment, not a spark that ignites a movement. When the spotlight of media coverage is gone and the strident outcry over his killing subsides, the Black community and its leadership will most likely revert to business as usual, i.e., silent acquiescence to a racist status quo that demeans their humanity.
The dire endemic consequences of such silence are aggravated by Blacks' inability to transpose rage into sustained pressure on public institutions like law enforcement and education. So episodic outrage evaporates and racist practices continue, substantially unabated.
Historically, as now, examples of high-profile cases like Trayvon Martin's abound at both the national-Emmett Till, Amadu Diallo, Jena Six , etc.-and local level.
In Los Angeles County, the list is long: Leonard Deadwyler, Eula Love, Margaret Mitchell, Rodney King and Devin Brown-all expect King, LAPD shootings. In Inglewood, during one 18-month period, Michael Byonne and three other unarmed Black men were killed by the police. Just last week, unarmed Kendrec McDade was killed by Pasadena Police, and two white men killed three Black men and wounded two others in Tulsa, Oklahoma, apparently in random shootings. Such killings occur every day in cities throughout America with the signature silence and absence of sustained follow-up by those communities most victimized.
There was a plethora of coverage by print, electronic and social media of Trayvon Martin's killing with most stories decrying what appeared to be a senseless killing, even murder.
Julianne Malveaux 's column, "We Are All Trayvon Martin," recalls the 1921 Tulsa Oklahoma horrific assault on the entire business district called "Black Wall Street." It began when a Black man happened to bump into a white woman elevator operator. Tulsa's crazed white power structure threatened to lynch the Black man, who fled to the Black section of town. Blacks did rally to his defense. However, whites responded by rioting and subsequently, as Malveaux reports, "It is likely that bombs were dropped on the Black community by our own government." Although a wealthy Black community was totally destroyed, Malveaux says newspapers documenting the attacks cannot be found.
Most print and electronic accounts called Trayvonne's killing unjustified, but there were dissenters, some strong, others subtle like LA Times Black writer Sandy Banks' column titled, "Anger over Teen's Slaying Transcends the Issue of Race." The sub-title proclaims, "The shooting…provokes rage that cuts across society, but the furor is not just about skin color, it's about justice."
Of course, it's just about justice, but justice is not dispensed fairly or equitably and Banks and others suggestion that it transcends race is both misleading and inaccurate. Racial profiling by the police in any large U.S. city is the norm when it comes to Blacks, as is the highly criminal mis-education of Black children, who achieve at the lowest level in virtually every urban school district in the nation. Banks' assertion about Trayvon's killing, "this is not just about the color of skin but the color of authority," mirrors conservatives' tactic of downplaying the primacy of race.
Thomas Sowell is Black and a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institute, Stanford University. He is also a syndicated conservative columnist. Sowell says, "It is not often that I agree with Geraldo Rivera, but recently he said something very practical and potentially life-saving when he urged Black and Hispanic parents not to let their children go around wearing hoodies. (Why not "hoods," which they are?)
Sowell recalls, in some detail, how, as a Harvard student, he successfully walked through a tough Irish neighborhood-students were warned to avoid that part of town. His solution: He never walked through that neighborhood dressed in the style of most Harvard students. "I walked through that Irish neighborhood dressed like a Black working man would be dressed and I never had the slightest trouble the whole three years I was at Harvard." By golly, he made it.
I agree with Sowell that "race hustlers that hype paranoia and belligerence are doing no favor to minority youngster." However, I also think most people would agree that Sowell was extremely lucky walking unscathed through that neighborhood since Blacks in Harvard-style dress or any other attire were then, and perhaps still are, regularly attacked there. His insinuation that not wearing a hood significantly alters racial profiling of Black youngsters is pure nonsense. Had he looked white, he would not have had to borrow a working Black man's clothes to get through the Irish neighborhood, right?
The causal factors for racial profiling are as old as America itself and continue to define human relationships, status and opportunity, notwithstanding substantial economic gains of a relatively small group of Black individuals, groups and businesses.
However, Blacks themselves tend to perpetuate a status quo that, by any objective measure, is not in their best interest. Despite their storied resilience, clearly, Blacks' propensity for allowing the boot to remain on their necks contributes to their continued subservient status.
There are no quick fixes or easy remedies to the underlying race-based factors that contributed to Trayvon Martin's killing and the killing of countless other Black boys and men. Sustainable solutions require new public policies and practices as well as courageous Black leadership and informed, determined communities that hold leadership accountable.
In crafting solutions, we would do well to contemplate the disquieting but instructive prose of Harlem Renaissance poet Claude McKay: "If we must die, let it not be as hogs, haunted and penned in an inglorious spot…Like men we'll face the murderous, cowardly pack, pressed to the wall, dying but fighting back."

Geoffrey Hamilton of Alabama, who enjoys gaming in Las Vegas, writes in his Dec. 21 letter to the editor that he will not return to Las Vegas unless smoking is banned in the casinos.
What Mr. Hamilton does not understand is that this will not happen. When it concerns gaming in Nevada, the Legislature passes laws but the laws are made by the casinos.
The casino owners' concern is not for the health of the gamers but only for the bottom line.
If that were not true, why then is smoking banned only in dining areas? Surely smokers can refrain for the few hours they are in casinos for the benefit of the public.

Arsenal are reportedly set to renew their interest for Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema following the Champions League final after speculations hit that the French International could be allowed to leave Carlo Ancelotti's squad this off-season.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has reportedly failed with several previous attempts to purchase Benzema, but the manager would still regard the striker as an ideal signing should he become available.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Benzema has an year left on his contract at Real, and it would be for the Champions League finalists to decide whether they renew their striker's deal or sell him in the transfer window, which would fetch them a transfer amount of 30 million-pounds.
Arsenal had asked about Benzema when they signed Real's midfielder Mesut Ozil in August last year, but the club had already sold Gonzalo Higuain and their striker was not keen to move, the report added.
Meanwhile, Wenger is also pursuing other striker options, including Bayern Munich's Mario Mandzukic, but has made little attempt to stop two other players he has scouted regularly Diego Costa and Josip Drmic from respective moves to Chelsea and Bayer Leverkusen, the report further added. (ANI)

* New feature "Disconnect Nodes from Client": this feature, complementary to node caching in templates to save server memory, allows removing nodes in server but not in client saving server memory, the client DOM subtree can be changed freely. Use this technique when you need to render in some way a DOM subtree (of course in server) not going to be changed anymore (or maybe fully replaced by other). Disconnection is reversible (client is again in sync with server) calling a method or adding a child node to the node which content was disconnected. This feature alongside user events allows development of Server-Centric and Single Page Interface web sites mainly stateless in server as shown in this example. On the other hand we get more options to hybrid programming server-centric y client-centric because of freely modification of client DOM below disconnected nodes in server.
- New related methods:
- Online demo of this new feature at ItsNat Feature Showcase.
* Added tolerance to intrusive nodes inserted alongside HEAD and BODY elements by non-ItsNat JS libraries (usually browser extensions). In previous version of ItsNat, extraneous elements were automatically removed (now are ignored/tolerated).
* Added tolerance to intrusive nodes inserted in the end of HEAD and BODY elements by non-ItsNat JS libraries (usually browser extensions and other JS libraries).
In previous version of ItsNat, only elements introduced by FireBug were ignored.
* Improved speed in server when detecting whether innerHTML can be used generating JavaScript code (notably when inserting big subtrees).
* BlackBerry Browser of JDE 6.0 (Torch 9800) is officially supported in spite of it worked on v1.0. This new browser is now WebKit based very different to previous versions.
* Supported SVGWeb 2010-08-10 (Owlephant), previous version deprecated. ItsNat also adds a workaround for a SVGWeb bug (event listeners are not correctly removed in removeEventListener).
* Fixed bug (regression): events in Batik applet are not working.
* Workaround for a Chrome bug: Event.timeStamp is not an integer in Chrome.
* Changes in Reference Manual:
- Added "6.23 SAVING SERVER MEMORY: DISCONNECTED NODES".

AAA NHRA Fall Nationals
2013 Nationals at Texas Motorplex
KBEC Interview with Antron Brown 9/19 at 4pm
NHRA: World's largest auto racing organization
When Wally Parks founded the NHRA in 1951, he worked to get racing off the city streets and highways and into safer, organized venues. He wanted NHRA to provide guidance to timing clubs and tracks. Soon, NHRA was hosting national events, as tuning cars became a hobby rather than just a necessity. While the grassroots racing organization has come a long way in 60 years of operation, there are some things that will never change. NHRA fans continue to have the best access to the behind-the-scenes action of racing. Fans are privy to an up-close and personal view of teams rebuilding engines in less than 75 minutes between elimination rounds. Drivers are often found in their pit areas, signing autographs and chatting with fans. That is just one reason why NHRA fans continue to be some of the most loyal of any sport. NHRA is all about diversity. With more than 20 categories of competition, including Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock, and Pro Stock Motorcycle at the Professional level, to a multicultural array of high-octane personalities it calls world champions, NHRA thrives on unique competitors accomplishing unique achievements. For example, in 2008, Hispanic racer Cruz Pedregon won the NHRA Funny Car world championship, and Ashley Force Hood and Melanie Troxel became the first female winners in the Funny Car class. There are more than 40,000 licensed NHRA drivers that compete at 130 NHRA member tracks around the country.
That is real power, and it is the power of NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing. Leave on Yello is the only way the competitors and fans of the NHRA know how to function, and it's what makes the quickest and loudest form of motorsports also the most exciting. Power is one of the key ingredients to success in NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing, but it isn't the only one. Reaction and technology are both as important in this adrenaline-pumping sport. Technology is what transforms the parts and pieces of nitro-burning engines into high-powered race cars on the starting line. A driver's reaction is what gets the vehicle out of the gate first, while the power is what it takes to get the win light at the top end. Add desire and consistency, and you have all of the ingredients to create an NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series world champion. The four categories in the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series will be full of young, freshfaced competitors as well as seasoned veterans in 2013, and they will battle all season long to qualify for the Mello Yello Countdown to the Championship playoffs in hopes of winning NHRA world championship titles.
NHRA, the largest motorsports sanctioning body in the world, also is an active member of the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) and actively works with the SFI Foundation to promote safety in competition and the high-performance aftermarket industry. NHRA also is drag racing's representative in international motorsports through its membership in the Automobile Competition Committee for the United States (ACCUS). Participation on and off the track has made the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series one of the most popular forms of racing, reaching thousands of fans, members and sponsors at 300 mph. Now that's going on Yello.
Antron Brown
Antron Brown is an American drag racer. He is known for winning the 2012 Top Fuel National Hot Rod Association championship. He is the sport's first African American champion. Brown had an appearance as an appraiser in episode 8 ("The Fast and The Curious") of the third season of Storage Wars. Brown studied at Northern Burlington County Regional High School before becoming a track star at Mercer Community College in New Jersey when he was contacted by football player Troy Vincent who was starting a racing team. He raced motorcycles until 2008 when he switched to Top Fuel dragsters.

The Bottom Line

Spam Arrest is an effective albeit a bit aggressive spam filtering service that, in the ideal case, requires little maintenance. Spam Arrest removes all mail from senders not yet approved before you download it or access it through Spam Arrest's 1 GB online web-based email service.

Visit Their Website

Pros

Spam Arrest cans just about all spam using challenge/response filtering of unapproved senders

A flexible and comfortable web-based interface makes Spam Arrest universally and easily accessible

Spam Arrest offers 1 GB of online storage

Cons

Spam Arrest does not discriminate to challenge only senders whose mail is likely not spam

The anti-spam service suffers from the problems common to challenge/response filters

Spammers can use commonly approved addresses to make it past Spam Arrest

Description

Spam Arrest checks and cleans up to three POP or IMAP email accounts periodically.

Works as a POP proxy service between your email client and your POP email account.

In addition, Spam Arrest provides 1 GB of online storage, webmail, and a fresh email address.

All mail from unapproved senders is quarantined.

The quarantine folder can be accessed via the web, and senders can be approved easily.

Additionally, Spam Arrest sends challenging messages to new senders, who need but reply to authorize themselves.

You can approve To: addresses instead of individual senders to deal with mailing lists.

Expert Review - Spam Arrest - Spam Filtering Service

Trashing all mail from unknown senders is a somewhat aggressive way to eliminate spam, and it is very effective. If you want to employ this method and keep your Inbox clean of practically all junk mail, Spam Arrest is a solid and flexible choice. Spam Arrest works as a web-based service requiring little maintenance.

How Spam Arrest Works

When it fetches new mail from up to three POP and IMAP accounts every two minutes, Spam Arrest automatically removes mail from blocked senders. Unknown senders get a challenging message which they can use to authorize. You can also authorize senders manually, of course.

In addition to protecting existing accounts, Spam Arrest also gives you a brand new email address plus 1 GB of online storage and a usable if a bit slow web-based email service to use it.

Spam Arrest Is Not Without Challenges

Unfortunately, Spam Arrest suffers from the problems of challenge/response architectures. The challenging messages can be annoying or puzzling to individual senders and a real challenge to legitimate bulk mailers, and if spammers use a sender you have approved they will get through without problems.

Haltom City is a step closer to getting its ninth park.
A $200,000 grant from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department will be used to finish the park, which is expected to feature a picnic pavilion and a small water park.
The park will encompass an area known for flooding problems, including the Skyline Mobile Home Estates where a child died in 2007 when water rose quickly during a storm.
Planners hope the park is completed next year.

Scientists say they have discovered of the first-ever two-headed bull shark.
Experts say the baby beast, found in the Gulf of Mexico, was a single shark rather than conjoined twins.
Boffins at Michigan State University carried out a study on the strange creature.
"This is certainly one of those interesting and rarely detected phenomena," said Michael Wagner, the university's assistant professor of fisheries and wildlife.
"It's good that we have this documented as part of the world's natural history."
Wagner and his team used MRIs to reveal the shark had two distinct heads, hearts and stomachs, with the remainder of the body joining together at the back to form a single tail.
The team could not give a reason for the strange anomaly but said they would have to find other similar sharks in order to investigate.
The two-headed bull shark found last year after a fisherman cut into the uterus of adult shark and discovered the baby.
It was brought to the marine science department at Florida Keys Community College and then taken to the Michigan University for further analysis.
It is thought similar creatures may have died before being born.
"You'll see many more cases of two-headed lizards and snakes," said Prof Wagner. "That's because those organisms are often bred in captivity, and the breeders are more likely to observe the anomalies."
The case was publicised in the Journal of Fish Biology.

Three men and a woman have been charged with burglarizing two El Segundo homes, police said Monday.
The alleged ring was tied to a burglary June 25 at a home in the 800 block of Hillcrest Avenue, and another June 10 at a house in the 600 block of West Mariposa Avenue, El Segundo police Lt. Jaime Bermudez said.
After the first crime, in which a burglar entered through an unlocked door, police identified three men as suspects — Fred Williams, 19, of Compton; Romell Knutt, 20, and Glenn Wright, 21, both of Los Angeles. A resident spotted the license plate number of their getaway car.
In the second crime, a victim called police when a burglar came through his window while he was home. Police arrested the three men as they drove away.
Vanessa Shakur, 26, of Los Angeles was taken into custody the following day in Highland.
Prosecutors filed multiple counts of burglary against them on Friday.
Knutt and Williams are on probation for burglary, police said.

Stakes Winner Spin Master to Peru
Six-year-old Spin Master, a stakes winner and graded stakes-placed, has been sold for stallion duty to Hamide Stud, which is located near Lima, Peru.
Six-year-old Spin Master, a stakes winner and graded stakes-placed, has been sold for stallion duty to Hamide Stud, which is located near Lima, Peru.
Sara Louise, the last horse to defeat superstar filly Rachel Alexandra, returned from a nine-month layoff in sparkling fashion, coming from off the pace to score the $110,000 Victory Ride (gr. III) Aug. 29 at Saratoga.
Eldon Farm's Sara Louise sparkled in her stakes debut Nov. 1, as the daughter of Malibu Moon came from off the pace and blew away six juvenile fillies to win the $110,400 Pocahontas Stakes (gr. III) by 3 3/4 lengths at Churchill Downs on "Stars of Tomorrow" day.
Hotstufanthensome was claimed for $62,5000 by trainer Terri Pompay for Main Street Stable's in January. Since then the 8-year-old Awesome Again gelding was a well-beaten fifth in the Elkwood, won by a head in a 1 1/16-mile optional claiming July 3 at Monmouth and stalked the pace but came up just short in the Oceanport.
Upset-minded Wheels Up At Noon used a perfect stalking trip for Javier Castellano to win the $200,900 Caesar Rodney Stakes, leaving the 7-5 choice Silver Tree behind by 2 1/4 lengths at Delaware Park July 13.
Led by the efforts of Eldon Farm Equine, the majority of horses previously sold at auction that passed through the sales ring during the Aug. 7 session of the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga yearling sale realized significant gains.
Dancing Band, a 4-year-old daughter of Dixieland Band, brought $250,000 to top Monday's concluding session of the Fasig-Tipton Winter Mixed Sale at the Lexington pavilion.
Eldon Farm's Hirapour, the 2004 Eclipse Award winner as champion steeplechaser and a grade II winner this summer, will undergo a new treatment for a bone chip in his left ankle in hopes of racing this fall in the Breeders' Cup Steeplechase and the Colonial Cup (both NSA-I).
Favored Dyna's Destiny nosed Best Mom at the wire to win the $80,175 Bedanken for 3-year-old fillies on the turf Sunday at the Fair Grounds meet at Harrah's Louisiana Downs.
Eldon Farm Racing Stable's Hirapour tries to solidify claims on his second consecutive Eclipse Award as champion steeplechaser in Saturday's Breeders' Cup Steeplechase (NSA-I) at Far Hills, N.J.
Eldon Farm's Hirapour, a 9-year-old Irish-bred gelding, drew off from Three Carat for a 3 ¾-length victory in the $159,200 New York Turf Writers Cup Steeplechase Handicap (NSA-I) at 2 3/8 miles over national fences at Saratoga Race Course Friday.
Stand and deliver. That's what Hirapour needed to do to have a chance at the 2004 steeplechase Eclipse Award. He starred in the spring, skipped the summer, and lost a tight Breeders' Cup Steeplechase (NSA-I) decision to McDynamo in October.
It took nearly all of the 2 1/2 miles, but favored Hirapour got the job done Friday in the $159,375 Royal Chase for the Sport of Kings Hurdle (NSA-I) at Keeneland.

Half Century Singles may be just what you are looking for if you are 50 or older and seeking companionship and a great time out with others.
The dining club with social introductions for men and women meets for dinners and mixers at upscale Temecula and Murrieta restaurants. A host or hostess provides introductions in a warm and friendly environment, said founder Susan Lipton.
"I think a nice way to meet people is over dinner," Lipton said.
Lipton said that her club provides a place for the "forgotten niche" of people who are too old for most singles groups or too young-at-heart for most senior citizens groups.
The group formed with its first dinner in December 2007, Lipton said.
"We really picked up in 2008," she said.
Although it's not the only purpose behind the club, which has about 55 members, Lipton said several couples have met at its gatherings, Lipton said.
"We've had three couples who have formed from our group," she said.
Some dinners cater to a wider age range and invite people 40 years and older, she said.
Most dinner events are scheduled on Saturday evenings. The meet-and-greet events are held once a month on a Wednesday or a Thursday. Sometimes the club has Sunday brunches, too, Lipton said.
The dinner club takes the pressure off meeting new people, Lipton said. She said participants can get out, mingle with peers and have a wonderful dinner without thinking of the future.
"It's a very nice way to meet people, because it's not as stressful as dating," she said.
Lipton, who is widowed, said that the group has been a joy for her to run and it makes her happy to provide this service for others searching for companionship, but who may have trouble meeting people. She said about 20 people come to each event, but it varies.
The next event, a happy hour meet-up, is scheduled from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Feb. 24 at El Torito Restaurant, 40517 Margarita Road in Temecula. No reservations are required, but she noted that it costs $5 for nonmembers at the door.
For information on the club and membership, call Lipton at 951-834-2600 or visit www.halfcenturysingles.com.
