The first home-grown New York Yankee since Mickey Mantle to have charisma and championship swagger, Derek Jeter helped the Yankees to five World Series in his first six full seasons. With no glaring weaknesses, he emerged as one of the best players in baseball in the 1990s, and solidified the top of the order on five Yankees' World Series winning teams.
Unform Number
#2 (1995-)
Best Season
In the sandwiched season of New York's threepeat, Jeter batted .349 with 24 homers, 102 RBI, 219 hits, and a .552 slugging percentage. He also swiped 19 bases and clubbed 37 doubles while fielding brilliantly. Jeter finished 6th in MVP voting.
Factoid 1
When Derek Jeter was named the Most Valuable Player of the 2001 All-Star Game, he became the first Yankee so honored.
Factoid 2
In the Fall of 1992, Derek Jeter briefly attended the University of Michigan, before leaving school in the Spring of 1993 to play for the Yankees' Class-A team in Tampa.
His instincts.
Defensive range, and at some point later in his career that long swing of his will probably precipitate a sudden decline in his production.

Bag was used for Boy Scouts Backpacking trip and did a great job.

Comments about REI Zephyr +20 Sleeping Bag - Special Buy:
The bag's construction is nice, and I'm happy with it, but have to disagree with the temp rating. I used it in low-humidity conditions with temp down to about +35F, and got cold even with leggings, socks, and a sweatshirt. I would recommend it, but definitely NOT as something to depend upon for keeping you warm below +40.
Best Uses
Comments about REI Zephyr +20 Sleeping Bag - Special Buy:
Bag sleeps very warm. Made it through night in Weminuche Wilderness, outside temps probably got down to about 18-19 degrees, minus few more for wind chill, inside tent around freezing. Never had any drafts or cold spots.

Comments about REI Zephyr +20 Sleeping Bag - Special Buy:
Bought this bag in summer of 2011. Great value for the price: lightweight bag, decent temp rating and doesn't look like a toy. Still using it for all seasons - weekend trips, summer resident camp, longer-term backpacking it's held up great. Currently using a 12L stuff sack and it packs down small. I particularly like the fabric quality inside. No snagging, zipper works well. Quite happy with the purchase.
Would recommend for anyone looking for backpacking or good quality camp gear.
Best Uses
Comments about REI Zephyr +20 Sleeping Bag - Special Buy:
I love the pocket-as-a-pillow feature because it keeps the pillow (made mine from unused gear) from sliding out of the bag.
I did have the zipper snag on the shell of the bag. After that I was more careful.
The hood tightens up nicely and I (5'11') had room to fit entirely in the bag.
Not as small as down, but fits in the bottom of my crestrail 70.
It got down to 30 degrees and with only a med. wool base layer and socks I did get cold about 2:30am. I was able to get more comfortable and back to sleep though by reducing the entrance to a small hole. Good buy!

Comments about REI Zephyr +20 Sleeping Bag - Special Buy:
Ive only used this bag once. It was in Florida and the temp only got down to the high 40's. But I was not cold at all. Still not sure how it would do in the 20's. It was comfortable, packs into the stuff sack easily, and I like the colors. I also like how the bag came with the stuff sack and also an REI bag. Its nice to throw it into the REI bag on site, and then compress into the stuff sack at home after Ive shaken any dirt out. The zipper does stick quite a bit. So you have to be careful. But... all REI products seem to have zipper issues so I wasnt surprised. I got the bag half off, so at less than $100, the bag is worth it. Zippers stick on a lot of bags so eh... I didnt wanna spend $200 on a sleeping bag so I can live with it. So far so good on the bag.

We are showing you the Japanese version of our site: would you prefer a different location?
Rapha Cycle Clubs in October
Rapha now have five permanent Cycle Club locations worldwide: San Francisco, London, Sydney, Osaka, and now, New York City. As you may have experienced for yourself, these are places designed to make everyone and anyone who rides a road bike or has an interest in the sport and culture of road racing, feel welcome. Even if you have merely a passing regard for bikes or Bradley Wiggins, you'll find damn good coffee, food and drink, hospitality, products and maybe even Wiggins himself enjoying a ristretto or two.
If you're simply stopping by to watch the last 10km of the Giro di Lombardia, or arriving at dawn for an espresso and pastry before heading out on one of the organised group rides, the Cycle Club is the place to be.
More than just a place to buy the latest Rapha products, the Clubs also screen live racing and host exclusive exhibitions and events. The perfect home for the sport and culture of road racing, Rapha Cycle Clubs offer the ultimate Rapha experience.
Here's a rundown of what to expect at Rapha Cycle Clubs in the coming season…
Cycle Club NYC
You can't get a more iconic location than NYC. It has a strong cycling heritage, stretching all the way back to the 19th century with track racing and into the 20th century with messenger culture and road races within the city. Transport by bike in the city is huge and Rapha are proud to now have a home in the metropolis.
Savory items from The Cannibal are on offer every day, including sandwiches, salads and sides, along with coffee and espresso from La Colombe. On the weekends, donuts from Gypsy Donut are a popular addition.
Upcoming events: The season-end party for the local racing organization (CRCA) will be taking place in early November.
Live Racing
The CC NYC will be showing the Giro di Lombardia live on Sunday, with a few vintage editions of the race being screened in the Club during the leadup to Sunday's event.
We are also rebroadcasting the official UCI coverage of both the Men's and Women's World Championship Road Races throughout this week.
Every Saturday unless otherwise stated.
Meet at 8:30am for coffee, pedals turning by 9am. Route will vary, but will be 40-60 miles. The pace will be 'recreational' to accommodate every rider's ability.
The Club will also be adding a weekly, early morning (hard) ride in Central Park with the NYC Rapha team starting on Tuesday, October 8th.
Address: 64 Gansevoort Street, New York, NY 10014
Mon-Sat – 7am to 8pm
Sun – 7am to 6pm.
The flagship Cycle Club, found in the city where Rapha was established.
With Regents Park just up the road and a bustling central location in Soho, the Rapha Cycle Club London is always worth a visit if you are riding, working or merely browsing in the area.
Live Racing
We show all the live racing and the atmosphere in the Cycle Club is intense and exciting. Especially with 10km to go when the "no service" rule comes into play and the staff join the customers in cheering on the peloton.
Races are shown live everyday with evening repeats.
Giro di Lombardia Showing live on Sunday 6th October.
Saturday Morning Club Ride
Saturday 5th October sees a southbound ride following the route of the popular sportive "Ride of the Falling Leaves" while an alternative eastbound ride will head out to Blackmore.
Meeting outside the Club at 08:30 for a 09:00 depart, our Saturday rides cover between 100km and 120km. Led by knowledgeable Rapha guides at a social pace of around 25kp/h, we also aim for a café stop around the halfway point.
Wednesday Evening Women's Rides
With a start and finish at the Club, meeting at 18:30 and roll-out at 19:00, the rides are led by two Rapha women at a conversational pace, returning to the Cycle Club at 20:00 for refreshments.
Thursday Morning Winter Rides
During the winter months we will be running early morning 'Wakey Wakey' rides alternating between laps of Regents Park (0630, Royal College of Physicians) and Richmond Park (0630 at Roehampton Gate). Each ride finishes at the Cycle Club for breakfast and a free filter coffee.
Serving the finest espresso and showing racing from the world's greatest races on three large screen TVs, the Rapha Cycle Club Sydney is the ideal meeting place for road riders and a luxury start or finish to any ride.
Live Racing
Races are shown live everyday with evening repeats.
Giro di Lombardia Showing live on Saturday 7th/ Sunday 6th October.
Come rain, hail or shine (usually shine) the CC Sydney ride rolls out from the Cycle Club at 6 am every Wednesday. We meet at 5:45 for a quick espresso and wake-up boost then onto the road for a swift and steady 35k down to La Perouse. Passing through Maroubra Beach and Centennial Park then back onto crown street for the home straight to the Cycle Club for breakfast.
Alternatively, take the mystery ride which usually encounters hills, back streets, off road and the rest…
Fridays are dedicated to the CC Sydney women's ride, the pace is steady and the route a mystery until you're on the road, with some off-piste and adventurous riding taking in some of the best views in Sydney – there is no better way to start the day.
Upcoming Events:
- Fund raising event for CC SYD's very own Alison McGregor who is undertaking a solo 800K charity ride starting from the CC SF to Los Angeles.
- 'Le Tour' photography exhibition by Marcus Enno celebrating the beauty of the finest road race in the world.
- The Bicycle Film Festival, two days celebrating the bike in film, art and culture.

Sat – 8.00am to 9pm

San Francisco Cycle Club
The first permanent Cycle Club, the San Francisco store is located in the Marina District, a 10 minute ride from the Golden Gate Bridge, the gateway to Marin County and some of the best riding in the USA. As well as the full range of Rapha products there is Four Barrel Coffee and the Starter Bakery providing much sought after ride fuel in the café, a viewing area to watch racing, and an evolving gallery of cycling photography and ephemera.
Live Racing
Races are shown live with evening repeats.
Giro di Lombardia Showing on Sunday 6th October.
Saturday Club Ride
Every Saturday the Club Ride takes riders over the Golden Gate Bridge and into Marin County with highly varied terrain and beautiful scenery – gravel climbs, redwoods and more. Each ride meets at the Club at 8am, departing at 8:30am with a distance anywhere from 40-70 miles on average with plenty of options to split off. The pace is about 15-17mph with a "no drop" policy.
Thursday Stammstisch Ride
'Stammtisch' translates from German as 'regulars' table', the gathering (and drinking) spot for locals in a neighborhood pub. Which is why the ride ends at Biergarten for a few frosty brews. This two-hour ride starts at the Cycle Club at 6pm and lands at the Biergarten at 8pm.
Courier Delivery
Rapha customers in San Francisco now have the option for same-day delivery for those must have today purchases – delivering your Rapha goods to you with the best couriers in the Bay Area.
Address: 2198 Filbert (x. Fillmore)
San Francisco, CA 94123

Saturday–Sunday: 7am to 6pm.
Osaka Cycle Club

It all started when I went to the Los Angeles Renegade Craft Fair- I picked up a pile of UPPERCASE magazines there. I love it when my world's collide! I found Lorena Siminovich mentioned on their blog today: Turns out Lorena owns Petit Collage which I loooove. It has fabulous products for kids based on her illustrations that I've loooved. And she started the company some time back. I did not know that. And then discovered on their site- that the dolls that fab.com offered last week that I bookmarked are also hers! Also turns out, our little daughter a also has some of Lorena's books that chronicle books publishes.

The International Energy Forum (IEF) has achieved a milestone during its Cancun meeting on 30/31 March. 66 countries signed a charter to further promote and structure the producer-consumer dialogue, with a particular focus on reducing oil price volatility and a possible expansion to gas markets. IEA Executive Director, OPEC Secretary General and myself were invited speakers at the prominent Ministerial Forum with minister-level presence from signatory countries.
With this milestone the 2004 founded IEF with headquarters in Riyadh has further established its position as a multilateral dialogue platform with a focus on oil & gas markets transparency. As such it has to closely coordinate with IEA and OPEC and acts as an institutional bridge between the two organisations that represent consumer and producer interests respectively. The key challenge for the young organisation will be the identification and delivery of specific and effective actions that meet the expectations and build on the broad consensus gathered so far. WEC, with the experience gained from the Energy Policy Assessment can play a constructive and supportive role.
The World Economic Forum (WEF) on Africa that took place in early May in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, covered a number of issues of interest to WEC. I had the opportunity to chair the panel on energy poverty. One of the key policy barriers identified during the panel discussion was the absence of regulatory frameworks that enable decentralized systems as well as local or third party ownership. It was highlighted that none of the Millennium Development Goals can be delivered without access to modern energy services for the 1.5 billion people who today live without it.
Rural communities account for 85% of energy poor. Institutions, including the International Financial Institutions (IFIs), and also most governments focus on grid-expansion and densely populated urban areas. WEC has identified as key challenges in this context the lack of adapted financing mechanisms that can deliver on rural energification schemes; poor education and shortage of local skills for project initiation, implementation and system operation; the absence of easy local access to components for equipment maintenance and enhancement; the lack of understanding and political support necessary to replicate enduring local ownership models. These issues feature prominently on WEC's regional agendas, particularly in India and Africy regions.
A prominent issue outside the official panels was the 3.2 billion World Bank loan for a S-African coal plant. The fact that US, UK and France abstained from voting was seen by insiders to make similar deals more difficult in the IFI space.
Also in early May I had the privilege to be part of the opening plenary of the 9th Arab Energy Conference in Doha, Qatar, which was coorganised by our Vice-Chair Abbas Ali Naqi. The panel was chaired by Minister Al-Naimi and included Secretary General of OPEC Abdullah Salem El-Badri, IEA Executive Director Nabuo Tanaka, IEF Secretary General Noé Van Hulst and Nobel Price laureate Rajendra Pachauri.
Popular issues during the conference were nuclear, energy efficiency and renewables, all of which are seen as part of the solution for the region. Water in general and the energy-water nexus in particular were highlighted by many experts as issues that need the regions full attention and collaboration. As an example, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) coproduces 3-8 bbl of water per bbl of crude and could be used for agriculture. On the other hand, carbon capture and sequestration is expected to increase the water footprint of fossil-thermal plants by an order of magnitude of 30%, depending on technology. Efficient pricing, a further challenge for the region, remained the 'white elephant' in the room.
Finally, together with our Chair we had the opportunity to meet Pascal Lamy at the WTO headquarters, to discuss WEC's work related to Rules of Energy Trade. The two issues that were prominent in the discussion were the definition of "green goods and services" as well as the legitimacy of "border tax adjustments" to avoid carbon leakage. In the continuation of Rules of Energy Trade there is an opportunity for WEC to develop constructive proposals on these issues.
In order to more effectively capture and share key quotes and messages from events where I will represent WEC I have started using "twitter" - if you are interested in these updates please follow @chwfrei or contact us for further information.
The World Energy Council in partnership with Oliver Wyman (global consulting firm) has over the past year worked on its third Assessment of country energy and climate policy aiming to identify key areas for policy improvements and to understand how successful policies can be transferred from one country to another. more >

today is my last day of being a paid member so
i am repinning this old thread today because i think today especially this needs to be seen and understood in the context of what is happening in our world right now.
and never has there been a more pivotal time that people need to grasp this concept and see that it is within their reach.
i did not vote because i do not consent to tolerate the current system as it is.
this is not a negative thing. this is a positive thing meaning, i am creating space by NOT voting for the lesser of two evils for something new to happen. and by the act of not participating in the voting ritual i have said to "the universe" i do not consent to tolerate this anymore. i make room for real change in this way. move beyond dual thinking.
holy fucking shit THIS!!!!! copy this before it gets taken down. it doesn't matter if you don't believe in this , this IS how the system works! i have never seen it written so succinctly. THIS is what we are up against, ok? THIS is #1 to understanding what is happening and why and THIS is what you need to call BULLSHIT on them for. this this this. i cannot stress it enough! even if this isn't "exact" this is as "exact" as your going to get it right now.
"The U.N. states:
"Registration means proof of legal identity. It is vital for securing recognition before the law, protecting rights such as inheritance and making children less vulnerable to abuse and exploitation."
"Under international law then, every child is entitled to registration of their birth, including children born to irregular migrants."
Now, please consider carefully, the word "entitled" above. It would sound like an offer, a choice wouldn't it? "You are entitled to such and such if you so choose to accept". But the reality is that, in each state/country, you HAVE no choice. The State will punish ANY parent who, on your behalf as a baby, does not wish to CONTRACT with the state. The State's propaganda machine, however, is great and the ignorant populace will be led to believe you are, somehow, abusing your child. They will say "we cannot confer benefits on this child because LEGALLY, it does not exist" Therefore, you as a parent will be demonized.
Again, directly from the U.N.
"The child who is not registered at birth is in danger of being shut out of society – denied the right to an official identity, a recognized name and a nationality. In 2000, an estimated 50 million babies – more than two fifths of those born – were unregistered. These children have no birth certificate, the 'membership card' for society that should open the door to the enjoyment of a whole range of other rights including education and health care, participation and protection.
This Digest examines the situation of children who are denied a fundamental human right and who, in legal terms, do not exist".
UNCF Innocent Digest No.9 March 2002: birthregistration_Digestenglish.pdf
So there you have it in the UN's own PLAIN language: In LEGAL TERMS they don't exist. IF then, in legal terms, they do not exist then, by definition, the legal world can have NO AUTHORITY over them. They are EXPLICITLY saying this. There is no room for misinterpretation. It is precise. The UN and legal world spell out the ADVANTAGES of having a birth certificate (all the benefits) but not the DISADVANTAGES which they trust you will not even begin to consider."

BlogDH Explains Orientation: Paxson welcomes you to her domain
Every castle must have its king (or queen…or phetriarch…) and Brown, despite its loyalty to free thought and vegan activism, subscribes to that rule. As the first class to begin Brown in a Ruth-less environment, a key part of your orientation is understanding who will serve as your very own Chancellor Palpatine (we're talking pre-Naboo crisis Palpatine) throughout the next years of your lives.
With this in mind, do not miss the first freshman address tomorrow afternoon from Christina Paxson, Brown's newly-appointed 19th president, author of a questionably hilarious study on height, and owner of a kickass shirt design. She'll be addressing the whole university on Wednesday, but you get VIP access to her at 2 p.m. on the Main Green, during what will hopefully be a classic Rhode Island Sunday afternoon. Do yourself a favor and take a break from comparing Parisian travel plans and SAT Subject Test scores with that guy from Harvard-Westlake and open your ears to a new voice. Will her remarks stray too far from the template set by every university leader throughout recorded history? Probably not. Will she pander to you with some empty-chair performance art? Hopefully. At the very least, consider this: it's a bonding moment. You're brand new, she's brand new. D'awwww.

U.S. Marine Sgt. Carlos Evans of Cameron joined first lady Michelle Obama in her viewing box during Tuesday night's State of the Union address.
Evans, born in Puerto Rico, was among 23 people selected to be the first lady's guests, which included students, teachers, innovators, entrepreneurs and members of the armed forces.
Evans met the first lady while recovering from injuries at Walter Reed Medical Center. He later visited the White House for a Wounded Warrior Tour. At that time, President Obama signed his prosthetic arm, according to a White House news release.
Evans was on his fourth overseas deployment when he suffered injuries in Afghanistan that resulted in the loss of both of his legs and his left hand, the release stated.
In 2011, Evans received a custom home from Operation Coming Home, where he resides with his wife and two young daughters.

Ay ay ay ay... sometimes, we're just so saddened by our fellow Americans' ignorance we can't help but shake our heads and wonder when times will change. Last night, Pitbull hosted the American Music Awards. While we could sit here and debate if he did a worthwhile job or not, it seems there were some that couldn't help but take to Twitter to voice their opinions on the hosting choice, NOT for how well he hosted–but for the fact that he is Latino.

We've all heard the horror stories: Katy Perry refuses to allow any carnations in her fitting rooms. Nicki Minaj doesn't allow people to take pictures with her or of her. Some stars are simply impossible to please.
But what about our favorite Latinos? It seems they aren't exempt from diva syndrome, either. From Mariah Carey to Jennifer Lopez, these stars have made some ridiculous demands:
A pink red carpet...and live kittens?
Mariah Carey is the official Queen of Divas. In 2005, she asked London's Baglioni Hotel to roll out a red carpet, lined with white candles, so she could make a grand entrance...at 2am! Unfortunately, the madness doesn't end there. Carey asked a Westfield Mall in London to charter her a pink Rolls-Royce, roll out a pink red carpet, and erect a pink-podium for a scheduled appearance to turn on the mall's Christmas lights. Reportedly, she also asked for live white kittens and doves to be released during the event! Qué? Due to health and safety reasons, the mall was obligated to reject her bizarre request.
Hawaiian tap water must be laced with enchanted musical pixie dust. How else would you explain the Hernandez siblings—singing sisters Jaime, Tiara, Tahiti, Presley…oh, and their brother, Grammy Award–winning virtuoso Bruno Mars?
Jaime, Mid- 30s:
As the oldest of the group, Jaime takes on the role of the nurturer. She cites their mother, Bernadette Hernandez, who passed away from a brain aneurysm in June, as their artistic inspiration. "Our family did a show called The Love Notes about doo-wop music, and our mom would always make us harmonize," says Jaime, who is the mother of two boys, ages 14 and 7. "Our mom would say, 'We're going to sing 'Going to the Chapel.' She would give us each parts and we would sing along."
It was fun on the set of Wednesday night's X Factor and the boys of One Direction made a special appearance and we had a chance to chat with them!
While doing our best to keep it strictly professional, we couldn't help but gush over the roughly smooth British boy bad, who, thanks to the UK version of the X Factor, are now gracing our screens, walls, notebooks, lockers, tumblr, and Twitter newsfeeds.
Thank you for joining me another week to read my blog, "RAQ-C's world", where I share with you all my tips on how to be a fabulous modern day Latina from the inside out. I like to touch on it all from relationships, hot topics, fashion, health, spirituality, career and anything in between.
The 14th Annual Latin Grammy Awards has come to a close but not before honoring some of the most talented artists in the industry. La fiesta went down at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada with Mexicana Lucero returning for her seventh time as host.

Hi all,
I've got money for one upcoming game and I'm really puzzled on what to purchase. Although a lot of people may say Black Ops, I'm just looking at other choices I could choose and I need this forum's help to guide me on what would be best.
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit
Gran Turismo 5
007: Blood Stone
Call of Duty: Black Ops
Don't hesitate to recommend any other game I may have missed out.
Thanks a lot,

I'd probably go for Gran Turismo 5 if I were you. Or CoD if you can get it cheap on release day.
I expect NFS and 007 to reduce in price in the none too distant future.
on 28-10-2010 12:44 AM
Cheers all. I decided to go with Black Ops in the end seeing as that's the one game unlikely to recieve any sort of price cuts for sometime. I'll probably get GT5 preordered too once they annouce a final release date on it.
By the way, if you go use the codes ZZ018 and xv044 at woolworths.co.uk (may be new accounts only), you can recieve a £20 discount along with free delivery on any game above £40 as long as you pay through paypal. I bought Black Ops for £25 with free delivery.
Thanks all

World leaders poured into Rio de Janeiro on Wednesday, 20 years after the landmark Earth Summit, to commit themselves to a new roadmap for sustainable development -- with that roadmap already under fire for failing to set firm goals.
The Rio summit convenes to create environmental blueprint for future, but some key leaders aren't there.
When world leaders gather in Rio Wednesday they will be hammering out a new set of goals to measure sustainable development.
The United Nations is holding a summit this week in Rio de Janeiro on global sustainable development, but, incredibly, family planning is not on the agenda. How can the summit ignore this elephant in the room?
Monita Rajpal explains how viewers can join the conversation around the Rio +20 Earth Summit by using CNN Ecosphere.
A senior Bangladeshi minister has said that comments by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton about the globally acclaimed microlender Grameen Bank and its founder were "unwarranted."
The U.S., Japanese and Chinese economies have regained their momentum and are leading the world in growth, according to the latest report Tuesday from a global monitoring group.
The leaders of five of the world's top emerging economies moved closer Thursday toward establishing a development bank that could one day serve as an alternative to the World Bank.
CNN's Richard Quest talks to Nigerian Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala about her bid to lead the World Bank.
The Nigerian contender to head the World Bank, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, said Wednesday she is ready to lead from day one and would make it a nimbler, more responsive organization.
The U.S has until Friday to pick its candidate to head the World Bank. CNN's Maggie Lake reports.
The US is under intense pressure to nominate a top-notch candidate for the World Bank presidency after developing countries put forward two credible contenders of their own.
In the world of economic and social development, lists are easy to come by. The class of leaders gathering in Davos are well aware that ranking nations -- by levels of freedom, ease of doing business, competitiveness, fragility -- has become a preferred sport for analysts working for governments, magazines, NGOs or think tanks around the world. But it's rare to find a surprising result.
Entrepreneurship and business are rarely accorded a serious place in discussions around drivers of economic development. A cursory look at the numbers makes this seem very surprising. China has pulled approximately 600 million people out of absolute poverty since Deng Xiaoping unleashed market reforms in the late 1970s. Never in human history have so many people been pulled out of grinding poverty is such a short span of time.
The World Bank Wednesday slashed its 2012 growth forecasts for both emerging and developing economies from its estimates of only six months ago, and warned the world is on the cusp of a new global recession that could be as bad as the crisis four years ago.
Women must make their voices heard in climate negotiations. The role of women as agents of change in their homes, places of work and communities is often underplayed. Yet their role is critical: Women understand the inter-generational aspects of climate change and sustainable development. We women think in time horizons that span the lives of our children and grandchildren. We need to use this understanding to influence the political process and to inject a much needed sense of urgency into the climate change negotiations.
It does not make for pleasant dinner conversation. But we have a global sanitation crisis. More than 40% of the world's population does not have access to a toilet. These 2.6 billion people, most living in low- and middle-income countries in Asia and Africa, face the daily challenge of finding a bush, train track or empty lot where they can urinate and defecate in relative privacy.
The world's most powerful political leaders will gather this week in France to chart a course for the global economy as the outlook for growth remains fraught with risks.
The world's population has more than tripled since I was born in 1938. On Monday, our world's population is expected to hit the milestone of 7 billion people -- up from 2.5 billion in 1950 -- with almost all of the growth expected to happen in the cities of less developed countries. This means that the problems the world faced when I was a child are even more urgent now for my grandchildren.
As the global population hits 7 billion in the coming days, nations can take steps to tackle critical challenges and prepare for the arrival of billions more people this century, the United Nations said Wednesday.
Jeffrey Sachs, Earth Institute director at Columbia University, explains the challenges of the growing global population.

U2 frontman Bono is usually lauded as one of the world's most vocal anti-poverty campaigners but at Glastonbury Festival on Friday he instead found himself the target of criticism at his band's alleged efforts to avoid paying millions of euros in taxes.

The Bangladeshi government has been asked to find a compromise to bring an end to the Grameen Bank crisis created by removing its founder, microcredit pioneer Muhammad Yunus.
A day after the High Court upheld the removal of Nobel Peace laureate Muhammad Yunus from his position as managing director of Grameen Bank, the appellate court in Dhaka on Wednesday set a new date to hear his petitions.
Bangladesh's top court Tuesday upheld the central bank's decision to remove Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus from his post at the pioneering bank he founded.
It's not often that a Nobel Peace Prize laureate gets fired, but the Bangladeshi government said Wednesday it did just that in dismissing Muhammad Yunus from a top post in the pioneering bank he founded.
President Obama will release his proposed budget in less than a week, and clues are starting to surface about what programs will be sacrificed to the gods of deficit reduction.

The Democratic Republic of Congo is in line to get billions of dollars in debt relief, World Bank officials said, cutting the amount the nation owes by more than 80 percent.
Unless you spend all your time looking at GDP figures, the $58 trillion global economy is almost too big to fathom. In a famous 1995 article in Prospect magazine, the British writer Nico Colchester attempted to make this immense figure more manageable by imagining the world economy as 26 Italys. Italy, he thought, was a convenient unit of account (back then its economy was worth roughly $1 trillion). Besides, all of us sort of know what Italy looks like and makes. As an economy you can picture it.

WEB EXTRA: Attorney Discusses Lawsuit Against Accent
The family of a man who was among six people gunned down at his Minneapolis office last year is suing the company, claiming it botched the firing of the employee who carried out the attack and should have known from his work history that he was potentially dangerous.
The lawsuit being filed on behalf of Jacob Beneke's family is the first to stem from Sept. 27 attack at Accent Signage Systems, said the family's attorney, Phil Villaume. ... Continue reading.

Swimming mama's have swimming kids
We've had a pool for almost two years. We've looked at its glistening, freshly cleaned water, locked and gated. What's the problem you ask? Why haven't we been in it by now, with two summer's past? The kids can't swim…and neither can their mama. Jay has asked many times if we could just go out and "put our feet in the water". Each time I warm up to the idea, something happens to make me punk out, take for instance the last time I agreed…

Well -- a brand new information in the fast and furious investigation is congress delays today's hearing.
Into the botched gun walking scandal because the inspector general report.
I wasn't completed in time that are very only -- -- -- obtained portions of the yet unreleased report.
And among the highlights.
The Obama administration did not did not hatched the idea for operation fast and furious according to this report.
But the report finding instead that it was the idea of a local ATF officials.
The report does thought the Justice Department and ATF headquarters for a failure of leadership in this comes.
Months after the house voted to hold attorney general Eric Holder.
In contempt of congress.
For not turning over key documents in this ongoing investigation drinks Najaf and in a pot town of our senior judicial analysts -- jags.
William has this report we have not seen yet -- the public hasn't seen it but from what we hear from Williams reporting.
What are some of the possible.
Legal ramifications if any from the scene from -- well.
Williams reporting which is really superb and it's based on documents that he obtained and which are not yet available to the public.
Reveals that the inspector general whose job it is to -- and inspect and and examine and investigate the Justice Department.
Shared a portion of his report.
With the lawyers for senior ATF officials in Phoenix is perfectly legitimate.
And basically said here's about not to say about your client -- you want to respond.
And the lawyers responded so William has seen both the allegations by the inspector general and the responses to those allegations by the lawyers.
For the senior ATF people formerly senior -- here people in Phoenix.
And basically they're pointing fingers at each other -- not these people in Phoenix but Phoenix is pointing fingers at Washington DC saying you know.
We dispute this we dispute that we don't dispute the basics of what happened.
But everybody knew what was going -- Washington knew we were doing Washington approved and authorized it and you can't -- in your report that Washington did.
To authorize -- -- original idea originated.
Is that matter right now well and -- again getting back -- -- legal aspects and that's okay who.
We all know in this business that frequently the the events after an event sometimes called the cover up can be as harmful to look to the people involved as the events themselves where did this originate.
This actually originated in the Bush Administration.
And there was a time when law enforcement believed this was a legitimate law enforcement tool.
Let the guns get in the hands of the bad guys monitor the bad guys before they use the guns and and arrest them with the -- The second part didn't happen here.
They weren't monitored and they weren't arrested before they use them Jenna over 2000.
Guns -- -- about pistols were targeted at heavy duty.
Military type weaponry.
Got in the hands of of Mexican gangs the question is.
When did the president know about it President Obama.
When did attorney general holder know about it he's testified under oath and what did they know real briefly here judge what's next.
Well what's next is congressman I said who's the chair of the house committee investigating all this is not going to be happy.
With the inspector general's report because it's basically saying well this was concocted in Phoenix he has evidence to show.
That that the Justice Department knew about it and what's not candid about what it -- there's also the issue of executive privilege that the president has claimed.
And the House of Representatives suing the Justice Department get a federal judge to nullify executive privilege.
Somehow I think this won't be resolved before Election Day product and shut -- Thank you very much good to have you worked itself out that's always a pleasure thank thing.

Correction: The original version of this article misreported the intersection where the parcel of land is located. It's located at the intersection of Nimbus Road and 41st Street.
Boulder's Open Space and Mountain Parks Department is selling off a five-acre chunk of land north of the city that's home to a dilapidated house and several old outbuildings.
The property, at the intersection of Nimbus Road and 41st Street, was part of the larger 80-acre Stratton Property, which the city purchased in 2007 for just over $3 million. From the beginning, the department considered selling off the land where the house and outbuildings were located, and in 2009, Boulder County approved a subdivision of the land, breaking off the five-acre lot as a separate parcel.
Last week, the Boulder City Council approved the sale.
Open space Director Mike Patton said it's not uncommon for the city to sell off parts of properties, once purchased, that are not suitable for open space, and sometimes that sale is part of the city's plan for financing the original purchase of land.
Several parcels of city open space land now have houses on them, and Open Space and Mountain Parks is trying to determine if it's possible to have tenants in some of those homes that might also farm the land where it makes sense.
"We have some properties in the eastern part of our system that have that potential," Patton said. "What we basically have not had are interested lessees. That's probably changing in the county."
Now, some of those houses are rented to people who do not work the surrounding land. Patton said a change would be more aligned with his department's mission.
"We're not in the rental business," he said.
Having more farmers living on the land they lease has also been a recent push for Boulder County's Parks and Open Space Department. But unlike the county, the city only owns about 300 acres of land that might be appropriate for planting row crops.
"We're a little different from the county in that most of our agricultural land is associated with cattle," Patton said. "Having someone living on the land is far less important than someone who has set up a crop-production business."
The existing Stratton property is an old farm, but the property now is overgrown and there are only a few acres that are irrigable. The house on the grounds also hasn't been lived in for about 20 years and is in need of significant repairs -- a cost that would be difficult for the city's open space program to bear. Patton said he expects that whoever buys the property will likely scrape the existing buildings and build a new home.
Dan Rowland, spokesman for Boulder County, said anyone who buys the old house from the city will be allowed to build a new home on the land if it is approved through the county's regular land use planning process.
"If they're going to do new development, they would have to go through the review process," he said.

I'm having the same problem. The remote is not working, the only thing I can do is to browse movies and start them. Right now I'm using the remote from Unified Remote, but I would like to use the official XBMC one instead if this issue is fixed. My XBMC version is 10.1 and My phone is a Galaxy S2.

thats not the only problems with this "one and only" android remote.
android 4.0 is not suported,some fails in the construction of the code,some phones get irreparable fails and lost conection or can not view the libary.remote doesn´t work sometimes like in this post etc pp. it´s a little bit sad that only one person is working on the xbmc remote for android.i look to ios, there are so many good remotes and persons who work on it i like this remote really. but i think someone just grow up from the start with a new remote for android because this one have some lag of support it´s not a troll post and i don´t want to dislike your work because you do your best but we need some more persons who do the work for a good remote like constellation

I absolutely love the remote and it has always worked perfectly for me up until this latest update. However, I am not running the most recent versions of android and am stuck in the past with the htc desire. But yes I agree its frustrating that ios is getting so much attention when android supports open source projects like these natively.

Bargain-priced American art pottery vases are hard to find. But, art pottery tiles made by important companies still are inexpensive, because they have had little publicity. Tile collectors in England and Holland pay high prices for tiles made in their country. Rookwood Pottery of Ohio, and Low Art Tile Co. of Massachusetts probably are the most famous makers in the U.S. American Encaustic Tiling Co. of Ohio, Trent Tile Co. of New Jersey and many other companies made tiles. Most marked the back of the tile with the company name, and most had a name that included the word "tile." The tiles range from small, round or square tiles, about 1 to 2 inches, that were put on stoves and other equipment for decoration to large tiles used on walls in restaurants, fireplace surrounds and hotel lobbies. And, like today, plain small tiles are used for floors in drugstores and bathrooms. Most interesting to collectors are the groups of tiles that form a picture. They were most popular in the 1920s to 1940s. The tiles usually are displayed on racks at shows. Collectors like to frame a tile like a picture to be hung on the wall. A framed 6-inch-square Rookwood tile showing tulips sold recently for less than $100. A group of tiles forming a scene 24 inches by 18 inches picturing a Dutch girl and a windmill sold for $1,200. Twenty tiles were used to make the picture on a restaurant wall. Look at salvage yards and talk to the workers tearing down houses. Sometimes you can find large tiles made for the outside of a building that will be destroyed if you don't offer to buy them. Gardeners like to use them outside.
Q. I have a brass bed made by the Art Bed Co., Chicago. I'd like to know its value.
A. Art Bedstead Co. of Chicago, Ill., was in business from the late 1890s until at least 1910. The company made metal beds. "Art Beds" was a trade name they used. There were several manufacturers of brass and iron beds in Chicago in the late 1800s and early 1900s. In 1914, when World War I began, metal was rationed and production of metal goods for home use stopped. Value of your bed, about $300-$400.
Q. My father found a print being used as backing for an old photograph he inherited from his mother. The print is labeled "Execution of the Conspirators." It consists of two panels. The left is labeled "Praparing (sic) for Execution" and the names of the conspirators, Surrat, Powell-Payne, Harold and Atzerodt, are at the bottom. The right panel is titled "Springing of the Trap" and shows them hanging. We've been to Ford's Theater, the Smithsonian, and Lincoln's summer cottage at Soldiers Home, but we've never seen this particular picture in any of their collections. Anything you can tell us would be helpful.
A. Although photographs were taken of the hanging of the Lincoln conspirators, newspapers of the day were not able to print them. Pictures in newspapers and other publications were printed from engravings. Alexander Gardner was the only photographer allowed to take pictures of the execution at the Old Arsenal Prison. There are two misspellings on your print. The word "preparing" is misspelled and the name of one of the conspirators is Herold, not Harold. The print was published in 1865. A copy is in the Library of Congress.
Q. I have a 1955 Mickey Mouse wind-up watch. The strap is black, and everything is original. Could you tell me the history of the watch and its present value? Thank you!
A. The first Mickey Mouse watches were sold in 1933. They were made by Ingersoll Waterbury Clock Co. of Waterbury, Conn. The watch was introduced at the 1933 "Century of Progress" expo in Chicago. Disney merchandizing promoters saw the Mickey watches as a cheap way to promote their brand. The first Mickey Mouse watches cost $3.25. Ingersoll (which later became Timex) continued to make the watches until the early '70s. A 1955 Ingersoll Mickey Mouse watch in very good condition sells for about $100.
Q. My aunt gave me a water pitcher years ago. It's made of a white metal, stainless, aluminum or silver. It has "5600 9HR Regency" stamped on the bottom of it and "RJR" stamped on the side. My aunt retired in the late '60s from the RJ Reynolds Tobacco Co. What is the value?
A. Reed & Barton has been a sterling-silver and silverplate manufacturer in Taunton, Mass., since 1824. The company has a rich history; having made weapons for the Union Army, silverware for the White House, and medals for the 1996 Atlanta Summer Olympics. It is still privately owned by the family of Henry G. Reed. The stamp on the bottom is the reference number. It means that the pitcher is silver-plated and part of the Regency collection. "RJR" must mean it was made for RJ Reynolds Tobacco Co. An identical "RJR" stamped pitcher in poor condition recently sold for $10.
Q. I grew up in Auburn, N.Y., near Owasco Lake. During the summertime, back in the 1930s, bands came every week to play at dances held at a pavilion near the lake. Most of the bands were not famous, but Tommy Dorsey and His Orchestra came once, and I got his autograph. Would a collector be interested in buying the autograph?
A. Tommy Dorsey (1905-1956) was a trombone player and bandleader during the "Big Band Era." You don't say if you had Dorsey sign a plain piece of paper or a program. If his autograph is on a piece of paper, a collector would pay $50 to $100 for it. If it's on a program with his band's name on it, it could sell for more than $150.
