The University of Newcastle's Family Action Centre will mark a major milestone this month, celebrating 20 years since the Australian start of a program designed to offer a helping hand to young families needing additional support.
The Family Action Centre was the first organisation to bring the internationally recognised Home-Start program to Australia in 1989. Twenty years later, there are more than 35 organisations running Home-Start in NSW and Victoria.
Director of the Family Action Centre, Judi Geggie, said since the program's inception the Centre had trained more than 500 volunteers who have gone on to support more than 1,400 families in the Newcastle and Lake Macquarie regions.
"The Home-Start program links volunteers to families with young children who are facing difficulties ranging from isolation to sudden or unexpected stresses in their lives.
"Families needing support are usually those suffering from isolation or loneliness because they are new to the area, have a new baby, have a number of children under the age of five or are coping with a multiple birth.
"Our volunteers visit and offer practical support and encouragement for the challenging task of raising young families," Ms Geggie said.
Home-Start is funded by the NSW Government's Department of Community Services and is supported by the University of Newcastle.
Picture/interview opportunities:
Sunday 13 September
Past and present volunteers and families will attend a family picnic to be held at the Newcastle Foreshore from 11am to 2pm. More than 200 people will take part in activities including a sausage sizzle, face painting and jumping castle.
Wednesday 16 September
More than 100 guests will gather for a formal Twilight Reception to be held at the Family Action Centre, Callaghan campus from 5.30pm to 7.30pm. Guests of honour include ABC broadcaster Geraldine Doogue and University of Newcastle Chancellor, Professor Trevor Waring.

LOYOLA DEBATERS TROUNCE THE OWL Night Students Lose on War Debt Question By a unanimous decision, the Loyola Debate Society won over the Loyola Night School Debating Club in a forensic discussion of the cancellation of the European War Debts in Marquette Hall at Loyola University Monday night. The day students, represented by C. Paul Barker, and Stephen Rodi, J argued that the United States j should not cancel their inter-allied war debts, while the night students, represented by Preston Delcazel and David Herman, advanced the argument that the United States should cancel the debts because "this money was America's contribution to the common cause and she has no right demanding payment." Paul Barker, the first speaker for the winning negative, said "America is not only justified in collecting war debts, but the European nations are able to pay and it would involve a heavy tax 1 burden on American citizens if we I were to cancel the debts." The judges for the debate were the Rev. Karl Maring, S. J., head of Loyola's physics department, J Dr. John V. Connor and Professor i J. R. Hart.

AUTHORITIES RELEASE JAPANESE STUDENT (By College News Service) Chapel Hill, N. C., March 10.— Temporary release of Jisaku Fukusato, Japanese graduate student at the University of North Carolina, who was jailed by immigration authorities in Raleigh this week, had been obtained by President Frank Porter Graham of the university.

Finance Dean Praises Roosevelt Action, Declares Present Crisis 'The Worst in American History' By John F. Nugent "No matter what we are told to the contrary, the United States of America is facing the worst economic crisis in its history." This was the flat statement issued Wednesday evening by John V. Connor, Dean of the School of Commerce and Finance at Loyola University. "President Roosevelt's immediate control of the country's gold , is undoubtedly the best thing he could have done,"' Dean Connor declared. "Most important of any relief measures is the insurance of monetary stabilization, and the presi- j dent's gold-conservation plan stands for the preservation of the ( country's monetary unit—gold." Asked his opinion on the | "scrip" plan of commercial ex-1 change, the Commerce Head de-! clared that the- ise of Federal j Reserve notes would obviate the j necessity of using the scrip notes. | "Though not officially author- I ized by the Treasury Department," Mr. Connor said, "local communities may, through their clearing | bouses, issue any substitute they see fit." "The use of Federal Reserve | Notes, in accordance with passing of the Glass-Steagle bill, j is more acceptable to the treasury ; | than scrip in that it represents | ;40 per cent of the nation's gold and 60 per cent of the nation's | bonds ad common currency," Pro- J fessor Connor explained. The scrip plan wag explained by "Doc" Connor as a system of j money substitution whereby credit j is transferred in to paper notes— j "Scrip," with which regular business may be transacted. II Whilst admitting th* serious-1 i ness of the current banking trou| ble, Mr. Connor expressed confi-! | dence that the enthusiasm of the i ■ j incoming administration will be , the means of overcoming the j - j weighty problems confronting i [ them. SPANISH HARANGUERS ENGAGE DOMINICANS A debate was held last night at 7:30 o'clock between the Spanish classes of Loyola University and Dominican college. The subject of the debate was: "Resolved, That It is more Beneficial to a Student to Undertake the Study of Spanish from a Cultural Rather Than from a Commercial Aspect." The Loyola team, composed of Bertin Barosse, Nicholas Tardo and Harry Herman, argued the affirmative, while the Dominican team, made up of Mary Cunningham, Anna May Dillon and Teresa Napolitano, upheld the negative side of the question. The judges were Mrs. Louis Pate, Mrs. R. G. Bledsoe, Mr. and Mrs. E. Massa and Dr. D. S. Ballina. NEW TEACHER The Rev. J. J. Wallace, S. J., who was appointed this week on the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences. FATHER WALLACE APPOINTED HERE Ex-President of Spring Hill Newest Addition to Loyola Faculty The Rev. J. J. Wallace, S. J., newest addition to the Loyola fac ulty, comes to Loyola from a fiveyear missionary tour of Texas. Father Wallace replaces Rev. E. J. Crean, S. J., who has been transferred to El Paso, Texas. He will teach religion in the arts department.During the past fifteen years Father Wallace has held many responsible positions in Jesuit institutions of the South.

BUTLER OUTLINES DEPRESSION CURES (By College News Service) New York, Mar. 10.—Although unable to appear in person before the Senate finance committee, President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia University this week filed a letter with the committee, outlining his recommendations for a way out of the depression. The recommendations, summarized, were: A businesslike reorganization of governmental agencies. Repeal of "unsound" veterans' legislation, which would save approximately $450,000,00 per year. International understanding and cooperation, first, by an agreement between the United States and its debtor nations; second, gradual reduction of tariff walls and quota restrictions, and third, United States membership in the World Court, the latter to be the means of' counteracting "reactionary nationalism," which, he contended, is typified by "Buy American" campaigns and which "is gravely threatening the whole of our present-day civilization." NEW RUHRAL PROF HERE TO TEACH LATIN TO SOPHS Father Maring Comes to Loyola From Germany and Texas IS BROTHER OF PHYSICS HEAD Declares American Youth Not Gypped by Latin "If any of our American youth, | in the pursuit of a liberal educa- I tion, think they're being 'gypped' into taking too much Latin, let them give a thought to the course the sturdy sons of Germany must follow before they can receive | their academic degree." This, in so many words, is the advice of the Rev. Joseph J. i Maring, S. J., new professor of Latin, who hails from quaint and historic Westphalia in the Ruhr | valley of Germany. "In Germany," declared Fr. | Maring (whose looks and speech identify him as a real Teuton),! "the student starts the study of Latin in the fifth grade of grammar school, and continues that i study for nine years, ending the I ninth year of Latin in the last year of high school with a serious criticism of such authors as Quintillius, Livvy, and the private correspond- j ence of Cicero. Of course, they | study Greek, too, but that language j has been almost cut out in this ! country." "Not only that," said Fr. Maring, "but before we can get a college SKIT SERIES STARTED BY CLUB "Le Malheureux Acteur" is First of French Club Playlets "Le Malheureux Acteur", a short skit by Albert Dupuy and Louis Gueniot, Arts and Science students and members of the French Club, will be presented Friday, March 10, at 4 p. m., in Marquette Auditorium, by the French Club.

Coach: Control the Middle of the Floor
Controlling the Middle Lane
A high priority in teaching great individual and team basketball is recognizing the value of the middle of the floor. Too often played on the fringes, basketball's true "line-of-scrimmage" is in the middle of the floor, the space in the center that extends from one lane all the way through to the opposite end of the court. This 16' wide area (the college area is 12' wide) is the major determining factor in how good a team is offensively – in a number of ways.
One of the most valuable pieces of real estate in the game is the area directly in front of the rim: a 6'x6' chunk of the paint. Both post players attacking toward the middle and perimeter players who are penetrating to the basket want to get right to the front of the rim for the finish. Both the action of getting there and the threat of going there at some point forces defenses to collapse, and being in front of the rim preserves fantastic passing angles to cutters and shooters.
Sometimes we call this area of the floor the "And-1 Zone." Constantly getting shots here leads to certain opportunities to score the hoop while getting fouled, which is a fantastic result of any scoring possession. Because it is right in front of the rim, defenses are keen not to allow players to score there easily, and tend to be aggressive in a help posture, which can lead to more fouls for offensive players who value this piece of real estate more than others.
Dwight Howard and Derrick Rose are excellent examples of players who are constantly playing right at the front of the rim. Obviously, they get there in different ways—Dwight uses his strength and size to establish post position, and then hammers the middle of the floor on backdowns. For Derrick, he uses crossovers and quickness to set up middle drives where he eventually gets to the rim. Both options work, and both control that center lane right in front of the hoop.
Certain players do not seem to understand the value of this part of the floor. For all of Anthony Davis' remarkable characteristics (and sure-fire #1 draft pick status), he tends to undervalue the middle of the floor, and on catches in the post he usually attacks baseline, limiting his options and making him appear rather pedestrian against great defensive teams. He is so young that this flaw may get cleaned up, but it is something he should definitely address. Brook Lopez has a different problem with middle control. He constantly posts-up too far from the lane to mount a credible attack on the middle of the floor, often settling for baby jumpshots. These are lower percentage, do not lead to foul shot opportunities, and put him out of offensive rebounding position.
As you get further away from the rim, the goal is not to control the middle of the floor by getting the ball there, but rather by using the middle to reverse the ball. One easy way a team can make their offense more efficient and productive is to start labeling "sides" of the floor. The first side is whatever side the offense is initiated in. The second side is after a ball reversal, the 3rd side is when the ball is reversed back to the original side, etc. In practices, coaches can impose rules like "the ball must get to the 3rd side of the floor before a shot." This way of describing the floor helps players visualize and understand much better than simply requiring a certain number of passes.
Some of the best attack men in the game are actually best after a reversal (whether it be quick ball movement or a skip pass, or some combination). Two guys that immediately come to mind in this regard are Luol Deng with the Chicago Bulls and Kevin Durant with the OKC Thunder. For both, getting lower than the three throw line extended is a necessity, because their attack lanes are best created against closeout defenders. Any type of rapid ball movement can give them the ball in that lower wing area, and they put defenders at their mercy very quickly.
Quick ball reversals, especially once a team gets to at least the 3rd side of the floor, also benefit the post players if they are paying attention. On any skip, post players can look to seal right in the prime real estate location discussed before. This combines the way the perimeter players control the middle via ball reversal with the way good post players control the middle by establishing deep position in front of the rim. Both Kevin Love and Al Jefferson are excellent at this kind of manipulation.
Transition is the first place where an offensive team can assert control over the middle of the floor. The best guards in the game never stay only on one side of the floor in every transition situation. This becomes predictable and is easily guarded. Instead, great floor managers "change boxes"—that is, they look for a quick hit-ahead up the sideline, and if it isn't available, they take the ball from one side of the floor, across the middle lane, and initiate their attack from the opposite side.
Guards who change boxes naturally (or at least ones who have adopted this principle as second nature) are as valuable to me as forwards who rebound out of area. It is a subtle signifier of an effective, thinking player: the kind of player I want on my team.
One of the reasons I like Kendall Marshall is because he has demonstrated the ability to change boxes early and often to put the defense to an early test. Ty Lawson also accomplishes this goal well – it is something that Roy Williams explicitly demands from his point guards, and it is a reason so many of them have success in the NBA.
Some players, especially younger players and guys who are converted into playing the point guard position without a lot of polish, tend to marry themselves to one side of the floor. This does not put the defense to a commitment decision, and that is the goal of any good offensive maneuver. By using the middle of the floor effectively, a player in transition shifts the defense ever so slightly, which leads to large gaps by the time the ball is in a prime operational area.
It is certainly possible to succeed without doing a great job of controlling the middle, at least in the short term. But long term all those that make a commitment to controlling the center lane have a chance to be significantly more successful on the offensive end. Imagine if a team as talented as the Lakers employed just the concepts listed above and started abusing the middle lane from the moment they gained possession: a scary team indeed!

The Treasures of Timbuktu
Scholars in the fabled African city, once a great center of learning and trade, are racing to save a still emerging cache of ancient manuscripts
- By Joshua Hammer
- Smithsonian magazine, December 2006, Subscribe
White robe fluttering in the desert breeze, Moctar Sidi Yayia al-Wangari leads me down a sandy alley past donkeys, idle men and knapsack-toting children rushing off to school. It is a bright morning, my second in Timbuktu, in the geographic center of Mali, and al-Wangari is taking me to see the project that has consumed him for the past three years. We duck through a Moorish-style archway and enter his home, a two-story stone structure built around a concrete courtyard. With an iron key, he unlocks the door to a storage room. Filigrees of light stream through a filthy window. The air inside is stale, redolent of mildew and earth.
"Regardez," he says.
As my eyes adjust to the semidarkness, I take in the scene: cracked brown walls, rusting bicycles, pots, pans, burlap sacks of rice labeled PRODUCT OF VIETNAM. At my feet lie two dozen wood-and-metal chests blanketed in dust. Al-Wangari flips the lid of one of them, revealing stacks of old volumes bound in mottled leather. I pick up a book and turn the yellowing pages, gazing at elegant Arabic calligraphy and intricate geometric designs, some leafed in gold. Turquoise and red dyes are still visible inside grooved diamonds and polygons that decorate the cover.
Perusing the volumes, I draw back: the brittle leather has begun to break apart in my hands. Centuries-old pages flutter from broken bindings and crumble into scraps. Some volumes are bloated and misshapen by moisture; others are covered by white or yellow mold. I open a manuscript on astrology, with annotations carefully handwritten in minute letters in the margins: the ink on most pages has blurred into illegibility. "This one is rotten," al-Wangari mutters, setting aside a waterlogged 16th-century Koran. "I am afraid that it is destroyed completely."
In the mid-16th century, Mohammed abu Bakr al-Wangari, an Islamic scholar from the town of Djenné, migrated north to Timbuktu, then a city of perhaps 100,000 and a religious, educational and trading center, and founded the University of Sankoré, a loose affiliation of mosques and private homes that provided subsidized instruction to thousands of students. During the next 30 years, al-Wangari amassed handwritten books on subjects ranging from history to poetry to astronomy, from both Timbuktu and other parts of the Islamic world. After the scholar's death in 1594, the books passed to his seven sons, and subsequently dispersed to an ever-widening circle of family members. And there they remained until three years ago, when al-Wangari, 15 generations removed from the original collector, set out to recover his family's treasures. "It's a colossal task," says al-Wangari, 42. Slim and intense, he studied Arabic literature in Fez, Morocco, and later worked as a UNESCO consultant in Dakar, Senegal. "I'm working at this every waking minute, and I'm not even getting paid a franc."
A little later he leads me farther down the alley to a half-finished building, marked by a sign that reads AL-WANGARI LIBRARY RESTORATION PROJECT, where laborers are mortaring concrete-block walls and laying bricks to dry in the sun. We cross a courtyard, enter a gloomy interior and walk past dangling wires, stacks of marble tiles and gaping holes awaiting windows. "This will be the reading room," he tells me, gesturing to a bare cell with a dirt floor. "Over here, the workshop to repair the manuscripts." Then al-Wangari points out the centerpiece of his new creation: a vault reserved for the bones of his ancestor, Mohammed abu Bakr al-Wangari, who lived in the house that once stood on this spot. "He would be happy to know what's happening here," he says.
For centuries, manuscripts such as these remained some of Africa's best-kept secrets. Western explorers who passed through Timbuktu in the early 1800s, some disguised as Muslim pilgrims, made no mention of them. French colonizers carted off a handful to museums and libraries in Paris, but for the most part left the desert empty-handed. Even most Malians have known nothing about the writings, believing that the sole repositories of the region's history and culture were itinerant-musician-entertainers-oral historians known as griots. "We have no written history," I was assured in Bamako, Mali's capital, by Toumani Diabate, one of Mali's most famous musicians, who traces his griot lineage back 53 generations.
Lately, however, the manuscripts have begun to trickle out into the world. Local archaeologists are chasing down volumes buried in desert caves and hidden in underground chambers, and archivists are reassembling lost collections in libraries. South Africa's president, Thabo Mbeki, and Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. have lent their names and prestige to restoration projects. Foreign academics and book restorers have arrived in Timbuktu, providing expertise, money and materials to rescue the manuscripts before it is too late. Improperly stored for centuries, many of these works have already been ruined. Heat and aridity have made pages brittle, termites have devoured them, dust has caused further damage, and exposure to humidity during the rainy season has made the books vulnerable to mildew, which causes them to rot. "We are in a race against time," says Stephanie Diakité, an American based in Bamako who runs workshops in Timbuktu on book preservation.

Dear respected sir,
I have an inherited ancient Qur'an manuscript. It is a very beautiful and decorative masterpiece from early 19th century in 1838. The date 1259 Hijri is written at the very end of QUR'AN. Almost 172 years old. It is a rare and priceless treasure. This magnificent Qur'an was written in the time of MOHAMMAD SHAH QAJAR.
Details: size 215x160x45 m.m. with brown leather binding, written in unique calligraphic style Naskh Arabic script in black ink illuminated, Liberal golden inlay work and decorative designs made from Ink of precious stones: Ruby, Cinnabar, Lapis Lazuli and floral ink. First two suras of the Qur'an al-Fatiha and the initial lines of al-Baqara decorated highly interacted design both are almost completely covered with gold illumination, the title of each sura is written in high-purity red blue ink decorated with gold, also gold roundels at the end of verses, each and some pages have gold frame, all pages in cream color with highly polished beige rag paper, between the every two text pages attached transparent golden butter paper. It is a complete Qur'an, without missing any page, generally in excellent condition due to its age. It is a living miracle of unique Islamic work of art. It might be worth that of a whole treasure. This responsibility takes upon Islamic Governments and Museums to preserve this type of valuable antiques because it's very important for Islamic history/culture.
As a Muslim it's our duty to role play for preservation of this highly artistic manuscript antique. Therefore, I would like to invite you to buy this superior antique manuscript Holy Qur'an .
Yours sincerely,

Ending what has been the largest set of statewide recall elections ever held in the United States, Democrats Tuesday night held on to two seats in the Wisconsin state Senate, but still fell short of taking back that legislative body from the GOP.
Last week, Democrats were able to flip a pair seats from Republicans, but remained one vote short of winning a majority.
Republicans had hoped to win back one of those seats, but a Tea Party organizer in the north of Wisconsin could not come close to winning what was a Republican leaning district.
Tuesday's results left the overall scoreboard at plus-two for Democrats, though it was a disappointing result for liberal groups and unions, which had spent millions in an effort to overturn reforms championed by Gov. Scott Walker (R) to collective bargaining for state workers.
Republicans said the legislative changes were needed to save money, while Democrats argued it was merely a political vendetta against labor unions in the Badger State.
The next question is will Democrats pursue their legislative crusade against Gov. Walker and try to force a recall election for his post in 2012.
An estimated $30-40 million was spent in Wisconsin by outside groups on this recall elections, a figure that would likely be blown away if a recall develops against the Governor.
So what was the message out of these recalls? It's a mixed one.
Democrats won back some seats in the Wisconsin state Senate, but they fell short of pushing Republicans out of power.
Republicans though kept the reins of power by only one vote, and a Tea Party candidate in a Republican district couldn't come close to winning.
Unions spent a ton of money but haven't been able to reverse the collective bargaining changes that led to huge protests at the state Capitol in Madison earlier this year.
GOP groups also poured in a lot of money into these races but only barely held onto power.
It sets the table for what could be a very active election year of 2012 in the state of Wisconsin - and many others.

A handful of freedoms have almost always been a part of American democracy.

Financial Times
On the outskirts of Nairobi, a dirty blue tanker truck has pulled up at the side of a row of shacks and a manis selling jerrycans full of water to a small queue of women. Nearby, hanging from the trees and lying on theground are scores of plastic bags. These are the "flying toilets" discarded by residents of the slums.A few miles away, in the lawn-fronted compound of the United Nations Environment Programme, the world'sgovernments discuss climate change and how to help poor nations adapt to the problems, such as droughtsand floods, that it will bring.The arrival of the water seller, by tanker or in the form of people on foot with a barrel strapped to theirbacks, is a common sight in the slums of the developing world, and it will become more common. Morepeople live in cities than in the countryside, for the first time in history, and at least a third of those live inslums, most without taps and toilets. About 1bn people have no clean water and about 2.6bn lack adequatesanitation.But the paradox is that poor people in slums pay much more for their water than the rich in the spaciousairconditioned villas of the same cities. The water sellers of Nairobi can charge between 2 and 20 Kenyanshillings for up to 20 litres of water. Rich people in developing countries, by contrast, frequently have waterservices subsidised by the government.The world faces a water crisis. One in three people live in water-scarce regions. Rising populations, andincreasing agricultural production to feed them, along with greater prosperity, have placed greater pressurethan ever on the supply of fresh water. At the same time, global warming is causing changes in precipitationpatterns that may leave some areas much drier than in the past, while others suffer flooding. Pollution,meanwhile, has reduced the amount of fresh water available in swathes of rapidly developing countries suchas China and India as companies have emptied effluent into water courses.The problem is worsening. For instance, by 2050, there will be only half as much fresh water available perperson in the Middle East and North Africa as there is today, the World Bank warned last week. What isalready one of the most arid areas of the world will become much drier."Drinking water services will become more erratic than they already are," said the bank in a report*. "Citieswill come to rely more and more on expensive desalination, and during droughts will have to rely morefrequently on emergency supplies brought by tanker or barge."Drought has also stricken regions from Australia to America, China, India and Europe.Our diminishing access to fresh water has grave human and economic consequences. Every year, 1.8mchildren die from diarrhoea and other diseases caused by unclean water and poor sanitation, according tothe UN Development Programme. Water-related diseases cost 443m school days each year. Unclean wateris the second biggest killer of children, a huge barrier to progress in health and education, and a cause oflow economic growth, says Kevin Watkins, director of the UN Human Development Report Office.Yet part of this problem is of our own making. As the United Nations has pointed out, there is still enoughwater in the world for all of our needs. Mr Watkins explains: "The issue is not really one of scarcity."Governments in much of the developing world do not include the poor in designing their water infrastructure,or do not place a high priority on slum water improvements. Mr Watkins says: "The problem here is that watersystems do not reach the poor, who are priced out of markets. The solution is to be found through publicinvestment, regulation and partnerships between the public and private sectors."Some charities have argued that giving private companies contracts to supply water to the poor has a longhistory of going wrong. They point to projects abandoned, or areas where poor people were unable to paythe price demanded of them for new water infrastructure. Instead, they say, the public sector should providewater as a human right.Water companies reject these assertions. Gerard Payen, president of AquaFed, an international associationof private water operators, says: "Private water operators are used to making the right to access to waterand to sanitation a tangible reality for people. That is their job all over the globe. They have improved wateraccess and sanitation to tens of millions of families in the developing world."Mark Spelman, head of European strategy at Accenture, says: "You need to look at both the macro and themicro policies, so you can create the infrastructure but you must also look at how individuals and companiesuse the resources."A further issue is that we are simply using too much water in some areas, largely because the true cost of itis not factored in and we are careless of future supplies.As Mr Watkins explains: "Water is priced and used not as a scarce environmental resource, but as aninfinitely available commodity." This means we are "building up a huge and unsustainable hydrological debt"by extracting more water from underground sources, rivers and lakes than can be sustained. "The symptomsof stress are clearly evident: sinking groundwater tables, rivers," he says.The most infamous example is the Aral Sea in central Asia: it has shrunk by as much as two-thirds of itsoriginal size and the remaining water has become over-salinated and polluted, as rivers that fed it werediverted to irrigate land.In the Middle East and North Africa, in particular, countries are racing through their underground resourcesof water, partly because energy prices are so cheap that farmers and water companies can afford to pump itup from aquifers. But these aquifers could take hundreds of years to refill. Some of the water is "fossilwater", which has remained under the ground for millennia - sometimes as long as 40,000 years, well beforethe end of the last ice age.Around the globe, farmers and water companies are digging their wells deeper, pumping more water fromunderground sources, and tapping new sources where they can. As these sources are depleted, water -seemingly the most renewable of the planet's resources, because it falls as rain - is growing more scarce.Water shortages also extract a terrible price in social terms. In the developing world, women must fetch andcarry the water for their families, and the growing scarcity of the resource in regions that are already drymeans they must travel further each day to find the water they need. This ensures girls cannot attendschool, and exposes them to the danger of violence as they walk far from home. President Jacques Chirac ofFrance, at an environment conference in Paris this year, warned that the problem was spreading HIV/Aids.Beverley Duckworth, head of campaigns at the World Development Movement charity, says: "If men wereresponsible for fetching and carrying water, no doubt this problem would have been solved decades ago.But... it is a badly neglected development issue. The key to the provision of clean, affordable water is forgovernments and donors to invest in efficient, transparent and accountable public and community providersthat place the needs and views of women and all water users at their heart."Water, however, is increasingly being seen as a business opportunity. General Electric has been buyingfiltration companies and other water businesses to make up its water and process technologies arm. PeterMacios of GE says the company sees potential in selling water purification units that can produce cleanwater from sewage at Dollars 3,500 for a unit that will serve 500 people for 10 years, with low runningcosts. The company has sold 5,000 units, many in India, and hopes to sell 100,000 more in the next decade.Dow Chemical recently formed Dow Water Solutions, a business unit comprising products and technologiesin desalination, water purification, contaminant removal and water recycling. The unit has sales of Dollars400m, and aims to increase that to Dollars 1bn by 2015.Investors must also take account of how water issues will affect their returns, according to GenerationInvestment Management, the asset manager. The company found in an investigation into direct waterconsumption of companies, judged by litres of water per unit of sales, that most companies outside theagriculture sector were not materially affected by water dependence. What is more material, however, isindirect water use - water used as "embedded" or "virtual" water, in the production of goods from jeans tocars. Therefore, "best practice corporate frameworks treat water as a resource that must be managedefficiently and transparently."If water is not better managed, conflicts are likely to increase. These will not be confined to the developingworld, such as potential flashpoints between India and Pakistan, Israel and Palestine, and over the Niger andVolta rivers in west Africa. Experts also predict water conflicts between the US and Mexico, and problems insouthern Europe. Martin Mulenga, senior researcher at the International Institute for Environment andDevelopment, an international policy research institute funded by governments, says: "This is a problem forthe whole world."

Guests Reviews About This Trip
Our best trip ever. Absolutely perfect. A fascinating region, incredibly scenic, challenging but not overwhelming cycling, some of the best food we've ever had. I would highly highly recommend this particular trip to anyone.- San Francisco, CA
Once again, Backroads has delivered! This was our third trip and it was fantastic. From the scenery, the biking, the leaders, the food and wine, and the inns - it was a phenomenal experience in every way. We feel we've become Backroads ambassadors as we tell everyone we know how unbelievable these trips are. It is the ideal way to vacation for us - great places, great food, lots of exercise and all we need to do is make our way over to the start location!
As in the past, TERRIFIC! Cannot say enough good things about the leaders both individually and as a REAL team. This was our 4th trip with Backroads and we have never been in the least way disappointed in the leaders. Quite the contrary. They are just fabulous, and these three were no exception. Whoever is responsible for choosing and training leaders should feel really proud. I ran a company--consistent excellence does not happen by chance.- Steamboat Springs, CO

Edward B. Foley
It is a fortuitous coincidence that the University of Virginia's Journal of Law & Politics has just published a piece of mine that shows the relevance of the current vote-counting process in Virginia's Attorney General election to what might happen if the 2016 presidential election turns on a similar vote-counting process in Virginia.
Professor Edward Foley was quoted in a article by The Washington Post regarding the race for Virginia attorney general. As of Wed., Sen. Mark R. Herring (D-Loudoun) led state Sen. Mark D. Obenshain (R-Harrisonburg) by 164 votes out of more than 2.2 million cast.
Electoral boards in each locality checked their numbers and decided whether provisional ballots should count. Statewide, 3,158 provisional ballots were cast, 493 of them in the Fairfax Government Center.
GOP attorney Miller Baker argued that the votes cannot be taken out now, and Foley agreed.
"Usually, once a ballot has been counted and mixed into the pool, you can't really retract it," Foley said.
In an opinion authored by Judge Edith H. Jones, the Fifth Circuit today reversed the district court's decision finding in favor of plaintiffs challenging certain Texas election code provisions. In granting a preliminary injunction, the district court determined that provisions regarding volunteer deputy registrars violated the First Amendment and the National Voter Registration Act. According to the Fifth Circuit's opinion, the plaintiffs "failed to establish facial unconstitutionality of the provisions." The Fifth Circuit remanded the case, Voting for America v. Skeen, to the district court for further proceedings.

Countries fail to pay their way over Syria
6:00pm Saturday 21st September 2013 in News
Research carried out by Cowley-based charity Oxfam shows France, Qatar, Russia are all giving less than half of their share of aid to wartorn Syria.
In June the UN launched a £3bn humanitarian appeal for Syria, the largest ever in its history, but this remains just 44 per cent funded.
Oxfam has shown that while the UK is giving 154 per cent of its share of aid, calculated as a proportion of national income and wealth, other countries are giving much less.
Qatar and Russia have just three per cent of their share towards the rescue effort.

More quote details and news » is expected to begin piecing together the next version of its Dreamliner jet in the coming weeks, even without a fix for what has bedeviled the plane's electrical system or a timetable for resuming flights.
The new Dreamliner, called the 787-9, would carry about 40 more passengers and fly slightly farther than the current model, which carries around 250. It would use the same electrical system and lithium-ion batteries as the current model.
Continuing work on the new model is important to Boeing because of its expected higher price tag and need to avoid new supply chain problems that delayed first deliveries of the existing Dreamliner by 3½ years.
Earlier this week, Boeing's modified 747 "Dreamlifter" ferried the first major sections of the 787-9 to North Charleston, S.C., from Japan, a person familiar with the manufacturing plans said. The special delivery is the first step toward assembling the jet's 20-foot-longer fuselage.
Body sections made in Italy are expected to arrive as early as next week, said the person, which will be combined with the Japanese pieces to create the largest fuselage section of the 787-9. That section, already stuffed with systems, will then be flown on the Dreamlifter to Boeing's Everett, Wash., facility where it will undergo final assembly for its mating to the wings and other body sections before taking its first flight.
On Friday, the National Transportation Safety Board's update of its probe signaled investigators from the board and the Federal Aviation Administration continue to be unclear why lithium-ion batteries aboard a pair of Dreamliners operated by two Japanese airlines burned last month.
A Jan. 7 fire and subsequent emergency landing on Jan. 16 led to a world-wide grounding of the about 50 Dreamliners in service at global airlines, which now heads into its fourth week.
By reporting that detailed examination of an undamaged battery removed from one of the planes hasn't produced any "anomalies"—and disclosing that more outside experts are joining the team—the announcement appeared to buttress comments by industry and government officials that progress in the investigation is slow and uneven.
U.S. and Japanese investigators previously said they failed to identify obvious defects with the plane's batteries, battery chargers, or related electrical and mechanical systems.
The safety board, according to these officials, still hasn't focused on what it considers the leading theory explaining the dangerous battery malfunctions. Working alongside Boeing engineers and battery scientists, federal investigators "essentially remain stumped" in finding the root cause, according to one person familiar with the details. Absent a likely theory, this person said, at this point "investigators aren't really even sure what they are looking for."
Boeing CEO Jim McNerney said on Wednesday the company and investigators were "narrowing down the things that could have gone wrong."
But the prospect that identifying the root cause and then devising a possible fix could take many more weeks—or perhaps stretch into months—poses potentially huge challenges for the Chicago plane maker.
Despite the grounding, production of the 787 is continuing with "business as usual," said Mr. McNerney. The company has no intention of changing plans to double output to 10 Dreamliners a month by year's end.
The FAA, however, hasn't agreed on any procedures that would permit Boeing to start flight-testing electrical or other essential systems on the new model, according to people familiar with the details. The FAA declined immediate comment.
A safety board spokeswoman said investigators are moving fast, "progress is being made every day," and "when we have confirmed our findings, we will provide additional information."
If investigators reach a breakthrough, Boeing may be allowed "to formulate a set of revised airline operating procedures that will allow carriers to safely operate their 787s, giving time for Boeing to design a more permanent fix to the problem," wrote Cai von Ruhmor, aerospace analyst at banker Cowen & Co.
"We recognize that the 787's future cannot be separated from Boeing's prospects," according to Howard Rubel, a managing director of research at Jefferies & Co. who has computed a range of potential economic fallout for Boeing.
Mr. Rubel's scenarios include design changes on around 125 jets, projected to cost an additional $250 million to $650 million, and a potential a three-month slip in Boeing's production plans prompting $1.9 billion in missed revenue this year and slower productivity gains.
The company faces the double challenge of resolving safety issues with the batteries on the current 787 version, which entered service in 2011 after lengthy delays, and then phasing in a permanent fix for the larger 787-9 without interrupting its development.
The company hopes to deliver the first 787-9 to Air New Zealand AIR.NZ -0.30% Air New Zealand Ltd.

A Boeing spokesman said, "We remain confident in the design of the 787 and will apply any lessons learned on the 787-8 to the 787-9, as appropriate, before it enters service."
Mr. McNerney said that while the company is building 787s at a rate of five each month and accelerating, the larger 787-9 will be given more time to flow down the company's assembly lines.
For now Boeing is using a number of electrical-system simulators on the ground to mimic airborne trips in an effort to find technical answers. "They have been cycling around the clock to simulate flights, without finding anything unusual," according to one person familiar with the details.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, who last month ordered the comprehensive review of the 787's design and production, said on Friday that "we will continue to look at the entire plane with a focus on the batteries."
Mr. LaHood, who has declined to talk about the status of the global investigation or sketch out a timeline for completion, said: "those planes aren't going to fly until we get the green light from the people who are doing the top-to-bottom review that they're safe to fly."

Everyone, especially Russia has a tainted opinion of parents who adopt Russian children. We adopted our daughter from Siberia in 2007 when she was 1 year old. She is now almost 4 and the happiest little girl ever! Not all Russian born children have psychological problems and if some do, most parents try and help them and no send them back. Why doesn't the media focus on these happy storoes as well. It would be terrible for parents waiting to adopt from Russia to have the doors closed. Maybe if we focused on happy stories, they would reconsider!!
Not all Russian adoptions go wrong!

Former NFL star Hines Ward doesn't need Maury Povich to tell him he's a father -- he already knows it and he's filed court papers to make it official ... TMZ has learned.
As TMZ first reported, a woman named Melanie Smith filed a complaint in Georgia to establish Ward as the father of her daughter Jordyn, born in January 2011.
But it was all just a formality. In his response, Ward says he submitted to a blood test shortly after the girl was born and the kid turned out to be his. Ward says Smith is entitled to receive child support from him, but says he's provided "substantial" support so far, despite there being no court order in place.
Ward says he and Smith are trying to hammer out an official agreement on support, custody (he wants joint legal and physical) and parenting time outside of the court. Ward says he has been able to spend a lot of time with his daughter so far and would like it to remain that way.
Sorry Maury, maybe next time.
This is a true man...he has stepped up to the plate and is taking care of his responsibility. Good for him...hopefully she doesn't become greedy like all the other gold digging whores in this country.
Amazing! He never had a father, yet he still knows how to act like one! He should give lessons.
Finally a man who is stepping up to the plate and taking responsibility. That being said with all the birth control methods I can't help but think these women get pregnant purposely! For the $ of course...
keep it in your pants boys. when you've got a decent paycheck - you are a targeted meal ticket.
If Hines is such a class act, he should start spending time and parenting Jia, his other daughter who is also a year old. Be a MAN Hines!!!!!!!!!
would like to see pictures of hines jaden and little sister. maybe he's not so proud of bringing a child into this world, support isn't the only thing a child needs.
