The Ramsar Bulletin Board, 10 January 2007
Signing of MoC with the Carpathian Convention. On 13 December, at the occasion of the high-level segment of the First meeting of the Carpathians Convention (www.carpathianconvention.org), Kyiv, Ukraine, the Secretary General and the Director of UNEP's Regional Office for Europe, Frits Schlingemann, signed a memorandum of co-operation between the Convention and the Ramsar convention. The secretary general was also able to make a short Intervention to the High level segment, reproduced here. The text of the MOC is available here, and the photographs show the signature by the SG and Frits Schlingemann. The moC is a direct follow-on from the Evian Encounter held in November to establish a regional wetlands network of the Carpathians. [03/01/07]
SGF. Slovenian project for awareness-raising in young people. The project "Young people acting for the wise use of wetlands" focused on building public awareness about the importance of water in Slovenian karst wetlands. It was implemented by the Škocjan Caves Park in cooperation with the Notranjska Regional Park (comprising the Ramsar site Lake Cerknica), which are both Ramsar site management authorities. The educational programme that was developed, and which has been included in regular activities by both Parks, is unique at the Slovenian level and offers an example both to schools and other institutions. Active cooperation involved eight primary schools on the issues of biodiversity and sustainable development, including extensive meetings with the project team and teachers as well as local excursions to the Cerknica lake. This brief report prepared by Dorothea August provides further details about the project, photographs of the various stages in the work, and some of the key outcome materials. [20/12/06]
Paraguayan Wetland and Important Bird Area Receives Protection. Guyra Paraguay (BirdLife in Paraguay) is celebrating news of the complete protection of over 9,500 hectares of seasonal wetland in the Paraguayan Pantanal, an area which forms part of one of the country's 57 Important Bird Areas (IBAs). The declaration represents years of hard work by Guyra Paraguay and the World Land Trust, which contributed most of the funds required for the purchase of the land through the negotiation of a number of donations from private trusts, as well as the IUCN National Committee for the Netherlands. Five key areas have been purchased and set aside for the Nature Reserve, equating in all to a US $250,000 investment. The Pantanal is one of South America's key ecosystems, being flooded seasonally by freshwater from the central Brazilian highlands. Situated in the upper watershed of the Paraguay river, to the south of the Amazon basin and east of the Andes, the area represents the most extensive freshwater wetland in the world. As well as being important for birds, the Pantanal IBA also represents crucial habitat for a number of other species. Over 300 species of fish, 40 amphibians, 55 reptiles, 120 mammals and 2,000 species of plant are known to exist there. All will be protected within the boundaries of the site. More information at http://www.birdlife.org/news/news/2006/12/pantanal.html. [11/12/06]
News from the SGF. Culmina Exitosamente Proyecto del FPS de Ramsar en Chile. El Centro de Estudios para el Desarrollo (CED) de Chile ha finalizado recientemente el proyecto "Conservación de la Biodiversidad y Manejo Sustentable del Salar del Huasco", financiado por el Fondo para el Medio Ambiente Mundial (FMAM) e implementado por el Programa de Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo (PNUD).

News from the SGF. Workshop on the Bardaca Wetlands. In the framework of the Ramsar 2005 Small Grants Fund project "restoration and rehabilitation of the Wetland Region Bardaca", in Bosnia & Herzegovina, a workshop was held on 24-25 November 2006 in the middle of the Bardaca area, where the Sava river forms the border between Bosnia & Herzegovina and Croatia. About 35 representatives from ministries and the University of the Serb Republic in Banja Luka, natural museums, agencies, local authorities, NGOs and individual land-owners participated in the two-day event. The main target of the SGF project is the designation of the area as a Ramsar site and to elaborate a draft management plan, but it was also intended to develop materials for public awareness work and local education. Dorothea August's brief illustrated report of the workshop can be found here. [06/12/06]
Swiss Grant for Africa approved for 2006. The Secretariat's Africa team is pleased to announce that the Federal Government of Switzerland (the Federal Office for the Environment - FOEN) has agreed to fund the Convention's activities in Africa for another year through the Swiss Grant for Africa. The 2006 Swiss Grant for Africa will allow the Secretariat to support five projects on the continent and address the implementation of COP9 Resolution IX.14 on Wetlands and Poverty Reduction - this will make an important contribution to the team's strategic objectives for Africa. Abou Bamba describes the selected projects in this brief report. [01/12/06]
Evian Encounter on the Carpathian Wetland Initiative. Evian Encounters are an important component of the Ramsar Convention project financed by the Danone group, owner of the Evian mineral waters company. The Encounters, of which this was the sixth since 1998, are designed to bring together senior officials of the Ramsar Contracting Parties and other relevant organizations in order to discuss in an informal atmosphere current approaches to and challenges of the implementation of the Ramsar Convention. The Evian Encounter 2006 focused on the Carpathian Wetland Initiative, building on the outcomes of the project "Network of Carpathian Protected Areas and Ramsar Sites" coordinated by the Slovak State Nature Conservancy with support from the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. From 15-17 November 2006, nineteen wetland and water experts gathered in Evian, France, including ministerial focal points of all seven Carpathian countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovak Republic, Ukraine) to define the fields of activities for 2007-2008 to be addressed by the Carpathian Wetland Initiative. Here is a brief report from Tobias Salathé, with photographs, and with the formal conclusions (PDF). [01/12/06]
Preserving World Heritage in Southeastern Europe. An occasion to further substantiate Ramsar cooperation with the World Heritage Convention was a recent expert symposium, held in Osnabrück, Germany, 16-18 October 2006, focusing on establishing and improving management capacities for natural World Heritage sites and cultural landscapes in Southeast Europe, organized by the World Heritage Centre, the Bellagio Forum and the Italian SiTi Institute. Through a series of presentations and discussions the 30 expert participants tackled key questions on how management needs of SE European World Heritage sites can best be addressed. Ramsar's input to this symposium was provided by Thymio Papayannis, secretary of the Culture Working Group, and Tobias Salathé, who stressed that Ramsar's toolkit (2006 edition), consisting of 17 Handbooks on Wise Use of Wetlands, can contribute many solutions to the seminar's theme. Tobias' brief report of the meeting can be found here. [01/12/06]
Valuing wetlands - a Ramsar Technical Report. The Ramsar Convention has long recognized the importance of wetland economic valuation in contributing to well-informed planning and decision-making, and in 1997 the Secretariat published Economic valuation of wetlands: A guide for policy makers and planners by Barbier, Acreman, and Knowler. But economic valuation of ecosystems is a rapidly developing discipline, and there are now many different methods available for undertaking different aspects and purposes of wetland valuation. In order to assist Contracting Parties in having economic valuation information better available for decision-making on wetlands, Ramsar's COP8 (Valencia, 2002) requested the STRP to prepare guidance on practical methods for wetland valuation. The resulting report, the preparation of which has been led by Rudolf de Groot and Mishka Stuip of Wageningen University and the Foundation for Sustainable Development (FSD) in the Netherlands, provides this guidance and updates information on available methodologies from those in the 1997 book. Valuing wetlands: Guidance for valuing the benefits derived from wetland ecosystem services is now available in PDF format (1.6MB), published jointly as Ramsar Technical Report No. 3 and as No. 27 in the Convention on Biological Diversity's CBD Technical Series. [28/11/06]
Two new Ramsar sites in Comoros. The Secretariat is delighted to be able to announce that the Direction nationale de l'Environnement et des Forêts (DNEF) of the government of Comoros has designated two volcanic mountain wetlands on the largest and second-largest islands. As described by Ramsar's Lucia Scodanibbio, based on the Ramsar Information Sheets, Le Karthala (13,000 hectares, 11°46'S 043°21'E), located in the southern part of Grande Comore (Ngazidja), is a well-known active volcano with its 3km-wide caldera. Le Mont Ntringui (3,000 hectares, 12°11'S 044°25'E), located on Anjouan, Comoros' second biggest island, comprises Mt. Ntringui, the island's highest point, and the crater lake Dzialandzé, which is the largest freshwater body on the island. Both sites are extraordinarily important as habitat for endangered and endemic species. Descriptions of both sites, an excellent photograph, and some maps can be seen here.
Comoros now has three Wetlands of International Importance, covering a surface area of 16,030 hectares. [24/11/06]

A Macomb County sheriff's deputy faces criminal charges for his role in aiding a strip club employee cheat on her court-mandated breathalyzer tests.In 2011, Trista Caswell, an employee at the Traffic Light gentleman's club in Mt. Clemens, was ordered to take in-home alcohol breathalyzer tests as a condition of her probation for a disorderly person charge.Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette says Joseph Cada, 45, and Caswell, 28, each face one charge of Obstruction of Justice after they schemed to mislead the court and its probation agents by filing fraudulent statements attesting that Caswell passed five breathalyzer tests administered by Cada.Schuette says the pair concocted the scheme at the Traffic Light. Documents signed by Cada declared that Caswell passed the tests. In November 2012, Caswell admitted Cada's statements were false. She was ordered to 90 days in the Oakland County jail for violating her parole.Cada turned himself in Wednesday and has been released on a $10,000 bond. Arrangements are being made for Caswell to turn herself in.Cada has been suspended without pay since December 24.

While in the field, Agents Fitz and Simmons use The D.W.A.R.F.s to collect data, and the information they collect is streamed seamlessly to these tablets. Each of the device's three screens provide FitzSimmons with readouts of what The D.W.A.R.F.s are seeing, hearing, smelling or sensing that allows them to quickly assess and prioritize information the rest of the team needs to complete their mission.
Tracking and surveillance are a cornerstone of good fieldwork, and when you're dealing with a target like Deathlok, you need all the help you can get. To that end, Agent Fitz created these specialized, non-lethal ammunition. Each round has an attached micro-receiver that is implanted on contact, allowing S.H.I.E.L.D. to track their subject via satellite. This is the perfect tracking solution for targets rapidly fleeing the battlefield, be it Deathlok or an escaping monkey.
From the early Centipede soldiers to the unstoppable Deathlok, the enemies of Agent Coulson and his team have gotten progressively more dangerous. To keep pace with these growing threats, Agent Fitz has continued to improve upon his original Night-Night Gun design. By tripling the stopping power and adapting the dendrotoxin technology to handguns, rifles, and shotguns–not to mention losing that pesky ounce–Fitz has given Coulson's team the best there is in non-lethal weapons technology.
The Echo Chamber allows all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s administrative data to be accessed in holographic form. Using this holographic database, Agents are able to sift through the vast amour of information that S.H.I.E.L.D. has stored over the years including everything from mission debriefs and field reports on down to interoffice memos, travel documents, and purchase orders. It's all there in the Echo Chamber if the Agent has proper clearance.
Droid Ultra by Motorola. Now the thinnest 4G LTE smartphone is one of the strongest, and smarter than ever. When it matters. Droid Does. Only on Verizon.
It's not every day that Agents Fitz and Simmons get access to an individual with actual powers, so when the time came to outfit Mike Peterson, they pulled out all the stops. Made of a polymer blend with ten layers of treated composite materials, this sleek suit serves functions both tactical and diagnostic, monitoring vitals and providing state-of-the-art ballistic protection for agents, who to no one's surprise often find themselves in sticky situations.
Electronic tracking has been around for decades, and in that time it has also become easily detectable. To combat any known tracking countermeasures, Agent Simmons created a special, odorless, scent. Agent fitz developed a specialized tracking device that is able to detect the scent within a range of 50 kilometers. This biological-based tracking system is virtually undetectable by anyone besides Fitz and Simmons, making it the perfect solution when electronic tracking isn't an option.
After their encounter with the electrostatic Chitauri virus that Agent Simmons contracted, Coulson and his team know better than anyone how dangerous alien materials can be when left on Earth. That's why they were part of the S.H.I.E.L.D. clean-up crew assigned to London after the latest Asgardian encounter, looking for debris that wasn't of our planet. Agent Fitz spent hours scanning through rubble with this spectrographic analyzer, even though he was confident that this was the type of work a brave, little monkey could do.
While investigating the scene of a crime in a Norwegian national park, Agent Simmons discovered an impression within a fallen tree that matched Asgardian spectrographic signatures. Using this three-dimensional scanner, she was able to transmit readings back to Agent Fitz on The Bus allowing him to analyze and create a 3D model of the Asgardian artifact.
Sometimes S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents need a little extra help in surveying an area. In these instances they could turn to Verizon and Blueforce which would enable them to place multiple sensors on trained K9s before sending them into action. The sensors would provide S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents with mission critical information and can detect explosives, chemicals, and other dangerous substances. A Blueforce thermal imager attached to a K9 would also enable Agents to see in the dark using their smartphones.
Used by S.H.I.E.L.D. teams to rapidly acquire suspects, targets, or missing personnel, these glowing, golden orbs launch into the air and scan the surrounding area. The Golden Retrievers are able to quickly sweep a large location in a range of conditions, including dense woodlands, and are much faster and more efficient than a search party. Coulson and his team deployed them to quickly locate Agent May in the forest and arrive to provide support when she was dealing with a dangerous suspect.
S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents on covert operations need to be about to blend into their surroundings, but when it's time to be almost totally invisible, they can use a little help. A MAG Pouch is capable of mimicking surfaces, making anything within the pouch virtually disappear. Agents Fitz and Ward actually got inside of a full-sized pouch and latched onto the underside of a passing truck in order to infiltrate the installation where the Overkill Device was being held.
The Golden-i wireless headset is a hands-free mobile computing and communication headset that would be perfect for giving S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents the ability to interact with and access virtually any information in the world. Access to a full PC experience would allow Agents to connect with and control up to six devices or networks at a time so they could react and take action quickly.
On covert missions, S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents use remote beacons like this one to covertly signal HQ. This beacon, disguised as a rock common to the region, was used by Agents Ward and Fitz during their mission to disable the Overkill Device. Once Agent Fitz finished disabling the dangerous weapon, Agent Ward triggered the beacon, informing Agent Victoria Hand that their mission had been successful.
EMP stands for "electromagnetic pulse", a quick burst of energy that disables all nearby electronics and circuitry. While a localized EMP device can be an effective countermeasure against electronic surveillance or high-end security systems, Agent Fitz used one to cause a blackout and interrupt a soccer match, creating a problem that only he could fix. It was definitely an unorthodox use of the technology, but it worked, getting Fitz and Agent Ward out of a tight spot.
Despite all the technology at their finger tips, S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents still cannot be in two places at once. The independently operated VGo is the next best thing and would allow Agents to see, hear, talk and move around in a distant location via the remote controlled robot.
When Agent Simmons contracted an alien virus spread via electricity, Agent Fitz engineered a specialized delivery mechanism for the anti-serum she created. The device holds a mineral-based solution that can not only suspend Simmons' cure, but can also conduct electricity, which was no easy feat. The device was both innovative and user-friendly, allowing Agent Ward to successfully deliver the anti-serum to Simmons while they were falling through the sky.
In time-sensitive situations when S.H.I.E.L.D. agents need to breach a door quickly, this small explosive device can damage or destroy a door's locking mechanism, and get the Agent into the room to deal with any threats on the other side. It's not subtle, but it sure is effective.
When infiltrating larger buildings or structures, the ability to identify and isolate potential threats often means the difference between life and death. Sophisticated scanning technology can give S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents that critical edge, which is why Agent Melinda May used this device during the raid on the Centipede laboratory to free Scorch.
As a matter of course, S.H.I.E.L.D. is able to monitor a vast amount of electronic and online activity, but when they have a specific person they need to watch, they turn to this device. This bracelet appears simple and inconspicuous, but is able to monitor and limit the tagged person's access to certain systems, files and electronic devices. The tracking bracelet can also be used to identify and limit access to secure sections of S.H.I.E.L.D. facilities.
While FitzSimmons originally developed the "Night-Night Gun" as a long-range rifle, they quickly determined that the team needed a similar piece of equipment for close combat situations. Fitz named it the "Night-Night Pistol;" a semi-automatic handgun carrying eight .45 caliber rounds of dendrotoxin per magazine. The "Night-Night Pistol" is a perfect combination of stopping power, concealability and a more forgiving ammo capacity that makes it a great non-lethal alternative.
When FitzSimmons saw the tech behind former agent Akela Amador's biotech prosthetic eye, even they were impressed. Using a pair of glasses tethered to a portable power source, FitzSimmons were able to replicate that tech and mimic Amador's visual feed--including backscatter imaging--allowing Agent Ward to follow her handler's orders until the deadly kill switch in her eye could be removed. If only they could have come up with something to help Agent Ward with his social kills, ocular surgery wouldn't have had to be quite so rushed.
The Bus is great for getting the team around the world on their missions, but when it's time for the science and tech experts like FitzSimmons and Skye to go into the field, a mobile operations solution is needed. Vans like the temporarily code-named "Short Bus" provide the team with a mobile command center where they can scan and track hard-to-find targets without exposing themselves. That is, of course, unless the target finds them first.
The CXD-23 Airborne Mobile Command Station, affectionately dubbed "The Bus," is both base of operations and primary mode of transport for Agent Coulson and his Agents. Featuring a state of the art lab, operations center, cargo bay, private quarters for the team and a lounge--complete with a REALLY nice bar--The Bus is the team's home away from home.
While investigating the 0-8-4 recovered in the Peruvian jungle, FitzSimmons used the Holocom a to quickly deconstruct and analyze a facsimile of the dangerous device. Once the data from The D.W.A.R.F.s was plugged in, a projection of the 0-8-4 was rendered, allowing Agents Fitz and Simmons to uncover key intel about the device's inner-workings and its powerful, if potentially unstable, power source.
Also known as Drones Wirelessly Automated to Retrieve Forensics. They say if you're going to be in the field, you're going to have to get your hands dirty. Well, Agents Fitz and Simmons came up with a better idea. A team of small, quadcoptor drones, the D.W.A.R.F.s are capable of thoroughly scanning and cataloguing a scene in minutes, covering everything from matter density to radiation levels. They're an automated crime scene investigation unit—the perfect tool for quickly and completely gathering data in the field. And, you know, flying them around is pretty fun too.
Agent Coulson knows there's a difference between "new" and "improved" and Lola is his case-in-point. Featuring flamethrowers and the world's first GPS, this classic Corvette is more than what she seems. For instance, if driving is not an option, Lola's vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) and flight capabilities sure cut down Agent Coulson's commute.
A miracle born of engineering and bio-chemistry, this custom tranquilizer rifle is the perfect tool for stopping someone without killing them. The rifle fires non-lethal bullets with heavy stopping power that break up under the subcutaneous tissue (or as most people call it, "skin"). From there, the bullets deliver a tiny amount of dendrotoxin, incapacitating the target long enough for them to be secured and with few side effects.

The simple ability to consume food is one most of us take for granted. But for some children, getting adequate nourishment is far from simple. Feeding and swallowing (dysphagia) problems are extremely complex and surprisingly common in children with autism. Without appropriate treatment, these disorders can have lasting effects on a child's physical and emotional development.
The conference will highlight approaches to treating children on the autism spectrum with feeding disorders with presentations by guest lecturers (including: Susan Levy, MD, Maureen Black, PhD, Thomas Linschied, PhD), interactive breakouts sessions, and family panel.
More information will be available here in December.

States have begun to adopt the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), a set of rigorous, common standards for K-12 education that provide clarity and consistency around student learning expectations across the country. IT infrastructure within the schools have a significant impact on how these Common Core standards are taught and how the assessments are conducted. "Nearly 78% of schools nationwide have yet to complete plans to support Common Core assessments for the next academic year." As you gear up to support the testing, make absolute sure your wireless infrastructure is up to the task.

What began as a roving production with performances in the Tracy Community Center and local schools has made its home at the Grand Theatre Center for the Arts, 715 Central Ave., during the past six years.
On Dec. 15 and 16, dozens of young local dancers trained by Deborah Skinner, Academy of Performing Arts studio owner and choreographer, will take the stage in the Eleni Tsakopoulos-Kounalakis Theater for daily performances at
1 and 6 p.m.
"I think we're even more together this year than in the past," Skinner said during a show rehearsal Tuesday, Nov. 20. "It's different every year. I work with the energy of the kids, so it depends on who is in it."
"The Nutcracker" is a two-act ballet to the musical score of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. It tells the story of a girl named Clara, who falls in love with a nutcracker she receives as a Christmas present, and her adventures when the toy turns into a prince.
This year, the show's cast consists of 115 dancers with varied levels of expertise, including students from Skinner's special-needs class, who will perform in the party scene and the fight with the Mouse King.
To add a little spice to this year's production, Skinner choreographed some contemporary twists.
Instead of the traditional group of toy soldiers battling with an army of mice, she created a hip-hop number with Delta Force soldiers facing down the Mouse King. An acrobatic circus will enliven the tea scene.
She also plans to have members of the special-needs class dance with their parents on stage during the party scene.
Those acquainted with the Children's Dance Theater production will see a few familiar faces in the cast and also some first-time stars.
Performing the lead role for the second year in a row is 12-year-old dancer Thalia Cruzat.
"It's fun," she said during a rehearsal break Tuesday. "When I got Clara, I was very excited. It's always an honor to be in a show, and it's a greater honor to be the lead."
Thalia said her favorite part of the show is dancing and watching the other dancers on the stage, and seeing the show's "magic come alive."
Another key character in the ballet is the Sugar Plum Fairy, performed for the first time by 14-year-old Julia Nunes.
During rehearsals Tuesday, she said portraying the Sugar Plum Fairy was a dream come true.
"I was really excited (to get the part)," Julia said. "I've been in seven shows, and this is my biggest part. I love that everyone gets to be involved. I love the special-needs part — it always makes me smile."
Preparations for this year's production began in August, with auditions and rehearsals kicking off in September, Skinner said.
"In the next few weeks, we will be putting it all together like a big puzzle," she said.
Tickets for the Dec. 15 and 16 shows are listed on the Grand Theatre website, www.atthegrand.org, at $15, $20 and $25 per person, depending upon seat location in the theater. Tickets can be purchased at the Grand Theatre box office on Central Avenue or from the website.
A free preview is planned for 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 25, at Barnes & Noble Booksellers in the West Valley Mall, 3150 Naglee Road. Costumed dancers will perform excerpts from "The Nutcracker" at the bookstore's mall entrance.

Hi folks! I'm Mary from the Tulip Patch and today I have a vintage pattern redo for you. This pattern is based on the Box Quilt from Quilter's Cache. I modified the pattern size and composition to make it layer cake friendly and re-arrangeable. I love it when a pattern from over 50 years ago still looks fresh and cute. Talk about timeless!
1 layer cake (Hoopla)
1/2 yard binding fabric- (32235 27)
1 1/2 yards background fabric - (32246 34)
3 yards backing fabric - (2 yds 32412 27; 1 yd 32416 33)
Separate your fabric pieces into 2 piles. One pile will be for busy, bold, or dark fabrics. The next pile is for subtle prints or light colors. The bold pile will be used to create your tunnel exteriors. The subtle pile will be your tunnel interiors. Each bold fabric can create pieces for 2 tunnels. Each subtle fabric can create pieces for 3 tunnels.
Cut the pieces from your bold stack into:
(2) 3" x 3.5" pieces
(2) 3" x 6.5" pieces
(2) 4" squares
You will have a 2"x4" scrap piece remaining
Take your 4" printed square and your 4" background squares and create 2 matching HSTs per block. I made 70 HST pairs for my 35 block quilt.
Trim down your HSTs to 3" square.
Cut your subtle fabric pieces for your tunnel interiors. Each square will yield:
(3) 3"x3.5" rectangles
(3) 3"x6.5" rectangles
(1) 1"x10" scrap
Arrange the pieces to create your block. Try to pair of fabrics that have some contrast for the best optical illusion.
Sew each row together. Press your inner row seams outward. Press the seams on your top and bottom row inward.
Sew your top, middle, and bottom rows together and press. Trim into a 8"x8.5" block.
Arrange your blocks and sew into rows, then sew rows together. I used a 5x7 block layout.
Now cut 4.5" strips from your background fabric. Sew as borders on your quilt.
Construct your backing & binding.
Baste, quilt, bind, enjoy!
A bright and cheery 45.75" x 64.25" quilt
If you've got some time, stop by my blog and see what's going on over there!

Wayne County Prosecutor, Kym Worthy, met with the commissioners pleading her case to tell them why her office can't survive on the money budgeted her office. It's 9 million dollars less than she was planning on."Just ignore it. Just ignore the agreement," says Worthy.Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy claims that's what Wayne County Executive Bob Ficano said after her office spent nearly a year proving where the dollars go and why it needs the nearly 34 million dollars they agreed upon to effectively prosecute cases."A cut from 34 million that you were promised to 25 million it is absurd. I've looked and I've never seen any department that has taken cuts like this," says Wayne County Commissioner, Irma Clark-Coleman."The officer who is responsible in that role in this county did not keep his word and did not do anything to fix the situation," says Worthy.Worthy is in the process of suing the county to stop the budget cuts. With already 50 unfilled positions, her office is forced to lay off 26 more prosecutors last week. No money she says, no prosecutions, and severe delays in bringing cases to trial, pointing to the murder of Grosse Pointe Park mom Jane Bashara."I can give you a number of cases that wouldn't have been prosecuted with the staff I have now. Kwame Kilpatrick would never have been prosecuted with the staff I have now," says Worthy."My problem is it's hard to negotiate with someone who is suing me... would you consider dropping this court action and dealing with the commission," asked Kevin McNamara, Wayne County Commissioner.Worthy never answered directly. Some commissioners who just learned how dire the situation is are sympathetic. But Wayne County Commissioner Chair, Gary Woronchak, says there's not much they can do. Although the budget could be amended and Fox 2 has exposed some frivolous spending within the county, Woronchak claims there is no more money."No emergency money that we have that we can slide into her budget to make up for that. So were in a tough spot right now with this and as long as we are in court she is not likely to be taking steps to curb the spending," says Woronchak.The county claims they tried to work with Worthy giving her a portion of the money that she wanted but she wouldn't budge. They said Worthy wanted all the money or nothing at all.Both sides are expected in court on Thursday.

For Jeff Lewis, the irascible star of Flipping Out best known for his OCD hangups, throwing temper tantrums, and spontaneously firing associates, the balance between someone people love to hate and someone people just hate is as tenuous and Amanda Bynes' grasp on her driver's license. The thing that always kept him human and made people like him was his relationship with his adorable and hilarious assistant Jenni Pulos. But that might now all be over because Jeff is suing Jenni.
Like a real life Jack and Liz from 30 Rock (if Jack was gay and had questionable plastic surgery and Liz was a bubbly Greek rapper) the best part of Flipping Out was seeing these two interact and how Jenni put up with Jeff. If he was good enough for her to hang out with, then we could probably tolerate him too. She was going to write about it all in a new book Hang in There, Baby - What One of the World's Most Difficult Bosses Taught Me About Life, Work, and Love. When Jeff found out the title of the book he sued Jenni, the Hollywood Reporter, um, reports, because she signed a non-disclosure agreement as part of her employment. Jeff is asking a judge stop the publication of the book, which Pulos said has yet to be written. It's up for pre-sale on Amazon under a shortened title.
Now, if she did sign a non-disclosure agreement then Jeff is probably well within his rights to keep Jenni from writing about her life at work. However, this is not going to make him look good in the court of public opinion. After all, what does he have to hide? Knowing what a stickler for rules and points of procedure Jeff is, this is probably more about the fact that she's writing the book at all than because of what could be in it. After all, Jeff will be the first one to admit how awful he is. But Jeff better be careful with his allegations. We've already seen him lose one best friend on his show, the audience may not have much sympathy if he chases away another.

(Reuters) - General Motors
"Opel is not for sale," CEO Dan Akerson told reporters at the Detroit auto show. "It's not to be given away either."
Peugeot could take over Opel with backing from GM and the French state under an option currently being looked at, newspaper La Tribune reported earlier on Monday.
GM would be prepared to contribute several billion euros to facilitate the transaction and make it attractive to Peugeot, La Tribune said, citing unnamed sources close to the matter.

Get ready for a foggy night and early Monday morning. Visibilities could be as low as a quarter of a mile at times especially around Spokane, Coeur d'Alene and spreading west overnight into Moses Lake and Ephrata. The low clouds should lift by the late morning, making way for a beautiful afternoon! Look for partly sunny skies around the region with temps in the upper 30s.
The dry stretch continues through Wednesday before a series of storms moves in. So far, it looks like rain showers in the valleys with the snow staying up in the mountains. The wet weather sticks around through the start of December (can't believe it's almost here!)
Hope your bellies and hearts are full this Thanksgiving weekend! -DG

Yes, I recommend this product.
"Finaly a shoe that absorbs shock and has cusioning everywere its needed...THANK YOU NEW BALANCE ENGINEERS.... Ive been disabled since 1999 from back issues and need a cusioned shoe & I can assure you this type of shoe is very rare. Everyone makes a shoe with cusioning I know, but they never make the heel & sole soft so it absorbs the shock when your foot hits the ground. What a dramatic difference. This shoe has all the right stuff in all the right places. I bought 2 pairs and wish I could afford a stack of them because I know in no time they'll never make anything like it anymore and I'll be forced to find another company that makes one similar. It never fails! Anyway' thank you for making a shoe for people who need this cusioning, I absolutely love them and needed them too. Thank you all and "please" keep making them for us!"

Boys Grade School Reebok ATV 19 Running Shoes
The Reebok ATV Running Shoes have been designed for those who enjoy going off the beaten path, need a shoe that can handle the adventures that haven't been dreamed up of yet, and plan going the distance that doesn't have an end.
With nineteen irregular lugs, these babies are designed to handle rugged terrain. They have no problem stomping through sandy beaches, tall grassy fields, and snowy runs, and they will provide you with the maximum traction you need when it comes to these uncertain surfaces.
Made of carbon rubber, the grip is based off just what it mentions in the name, an ATV. Like the grip that ATV tires provide, the grip on the Reebok ATV is designed to handle whatever agile angle get thrusts upon it. It truly is, "Technology You Can Feel".
- UPPER: Mesh
- OUTSOLE: Irregular rubber lugs

I am a devoted member of House Grog, and routinely assist in the brewing arts.
I am a protege of Master Rupert the Unbalanced.
I also dabble in several Art forms, including period armor construction, as well as period wood working, having made benches, trestle tables, and 6-board boxes. I also make bronze needles, pins, and hooks and eyes, for use by seamstresses and embroiderers. My wife thinks I am a skilled painter, and I frequently personalize my wooden gifts with the recipient's heraldry.

Perfect way to enjoy Amsterdam
We enjoyed our stay on the house boat immensely, It was the perfect place to stay whilst in Amsterdam. The house boat is located close to the center of town (10 min walk), AH Supermarket (2 min walk), Cafes and Restaurants (30 second walk across the road). Even though it was close to all these places it was peaceful, quiet and the perfect place to come home to and relax after a big day of exploring. We loved waking up every morning with our coffee to the beautiful view of the canal, waving to the people in their boats and feeding the ducks from the balcony. We were fortunate enough to meet Meredith (the owner) who was absolutely lovely. Meredith left a 'welcome' book with information about the area and transport that came in very handy (We saved 20 euro on a taxi to the airport using the suggestion from the welcome book) along with instructions on how to operate everything contained with in the houseboat. The houseboat was spotless upon arrival and maintained by Sander who was a pleasure to deal with. Sander made sure everything ran smoothly and there were no issues. We would love to stay on the boat again if we ever return to Amsterdam and would recommend it to anyone. We loved it so much that we almost shed a tear when the time came to leave as it had truly become our home during our stay. Dave and Teesh (Australia)

Last Friday the radio systems went down between 911 dispatch and the police, fire, and ambulance. We still don't know why, and it could still happen again tomorrow.Chief James Craig tells Fox 2's Charlie LeDuff, "According to my staff, and according to Motorola, there's been no real checking of the system - maintenance so to speak, of that system, to make sure if radio communications failed, there was a fall-back. What I'm very troubled about, and my staff is going to follow up with Motorola, they still don't know what the problem was. Now, we're up to 100% right now, which is good news. But are we at 100% right now because something was repaired? If so, what was that? All we were told is they couldn't figure the problem out. And I want to get to the bottom of it."Now, don't blame the city, because this is one bill they are paying. In fact, they're paying for a back up emergency system - that doesn't exist. "People expect these services to be provided, and we expect that the services that the city's paid for from vendors, that those are provided as well. And we're going to hold people accountable to that," says Bill Nowling, a spokesman for Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr. "We're going to get a good answer from Motorola and this won't happen again."Chief Craig says he's never heard of anything like this in a major American city. He assures, "As long as we have a contract with Motorola, it will not happen again." Fox 2's Charlie Leduff says he's called Motorola, and four people have not returned calls. He promises, "I'm going to keep calling. You're going to answer, because this is 12 years after 911, and it is unacceptable. Unacceptable. Get mad, Detroit."Chief Craig continues, "When an officer needs help, 'Shots fired! Officer down!,' when you don't have communications, that can't happen."Leduff adds he did get a call back from Motorola, saying all questions should be directed to the police.

This article caught my attention. (SEE BELOW) Being 35 I missed out on this for the most part (although I want to say that 1982 was probably my first or second trick-or-treat experience, however I don't remember - read the article and you'll see why that years' Halloween was significant.)
I'd like to think I grew up okay and am successful as an adult. Happily married, successful at my career, healthy.
One thing my Mom was (and still is) - a realist. My wife often calls me 'negative' for the way I think/reason about things. I actually feel like I'm a "glass-half full" type guy more-often than not.
Some of the things that are discussed in the article really hit home for me and now I fear that I'm not doing a good enough job with my kids raising them.
My wife and I go out-of-our-way to make our kids feel special. Some say that when an aggressive child is rewarded when he/she stops being aggressive for a short time, it sends the message that they should continue to be aggressive, because the only time they are rewarded is when they stop. Makes sense when you think about it...
However, it totally goes against the "reward positive behavior" theory that my wife and I try to implement as much as we can.
My wife also gets mad at me for "yelling" at the kids from time-to-time. I don't do it often, but when I do, it certainly grabs their attention and they listen more. I just feel like kids need to be reminded on who's "boss" once-in-a-while, or things can get out of control.
I especially like the final line of this article - parents need to be "velvet bricks" - gentle on the outside but tough on the inside - allowing kids to fail when they are young - then succeed when they are adults.

Technology companies like Google are always trying to find new ways to make their data centers consume less energy. It cuts down on one of their biggest costs, and it helps them maintain their cleantech image.
Data centers get very hot, and need to be cooled. But Google's data center in Belgium gets all the cooling it needs from two non-electrical sources: non-municipal water brought in from nearby canals, and the surrounding air. Belgium's cool climate means that the air outside is usually cold enough to naturally cool the hot computing parts inside, except for about seven days per year, on average.
So here's the cool part (pun somewhat intended) – when it gets too hot outside, Google will automatically divert all processing away from that data center, to one of their many other data centers around the world.
Just one potential green benefit of cloud computing. But that's another post…

Any mother can agree that going back to work after maternity leave is difficult. Leaving your babies for the first time may be the most difficult thing you've ever done. That's why it is important to choose good trustworthy daycare.
After spending 10 weeks with my 3 daughters it was hard for me think about being away from them, but I knew they'd be well taken car of. My sister, Andi, and my friend of 27 years, Jaime, watched my oldest daughter Mia for the last 2 years and that has been wonderful. Mia has gotten different experiences at each place. At Jaime's house she gets a lot of one on one time and learning time. While at Andi's she gets lots of socializing time because my niece Riley is only 5 months younger than Mia so she learns to play well with others.
I feared it would be a little overwhelming for them to take on the twins, but they were both excited for the opportunity. Jaime has always wanted lots of kids and always wanted twins, but her husband wanted to stop after they had 2 boys so she was happy when she had the opportunity to help me raise my daughters and super excited about the twins. Andi was confident she'd be able to handle it after having taken care of Mia and Riley so close in age.
We are so lucky to have people who truly love our kids taking care of them. It has made coming back to work much easier for me. Don't get me wrong I have texted and called to check in on them a few times during the day, but can you blame me?
My first day back was not nearly as rough as I expected. I was so busy trying to get caught up on stuff that I barely had time to miss them. It's amazing how much you miss in 10 weeks. Meeting schedules have changed, departments have been reorganized and some balls were dropped so I had to pick them up first thing. It's going to take me a while to get back into the swing of things, but I'm glad to be back.
I have said over and over again that if I didn't love my job so much I may not have come back. The truth is it's a combination of loving my job and having great daycare.
How do you find a great daycare?
- Identify your needs. Do you need a daycare close to home or work? Do you need a daycare with early or late hours? Do you require a daycare equipped for special needs?
- Ask around. If you have friends that recommend a place check it out. What's good for them may not always be good for you, but if you value their opinion you may find the perfect place.
- Do your own research. Call the Child Care Aware hotline 800-424-2246 and they can give you information to contact your local referral agency.
- Read online reviews.
- Check it out. Tour some different places and pick one that feels right to you. Meet all the teachers and visit when there are kids there.
