Frisbees, parkour and Zumba may appeal to schoolchildren switched off by traditional frisco maid service, the report affirms. Photograph: Frank Baron for that Guardian
Ministers' insistence on competitive team sports activities will alienate schoolchildren as an alternative to tackling their less active lifestyles, warns a report that was unveiled by Boris Johnson and Mo Farah.
Frisbees, cheerleading and other grooving should instead provide to engage young adults in physical activity who're turned off by traditional school sports activities, the Young Base thinktank argues.
"An epidemic regarding inactivity" among all age brackets is costing the british isles £8. 2bn 12 months, "threatens the health and wellbeing of millions" and may lead to young adults dying five years prior to when their parents, this report claims. Though the government's maid service in frisco strategy for encouraging young adults to be lively is misguided, it says.
"The increased exposure of traditional, competitive team-based sports is otherwise engaged of line while using the way many young adults want to be involved. The overriding increased exposure of competitive sports are at odds with this motivations and drivers of the majority of the young people who're currently inactive, " according to the report, which will fast fresh debate on the obvious way to capitalise on the legacy from the London Olympics.
It designated the coalition's new School Games effort, which is depending on competition and has been introduced after Michael Gove, the education secretary, sparked an upset backlash by scrapping this dedicated money educational institutions in England received to boost sport, as an illustration of this the wrong "focus on orthodox, competitive sport". David Cameron recently clarified his view that competitive team as well as individual sports need to be central to this planned new key school PE curriculum and they would inspire to look at part.
It will call for all pupils throughout England to be a part of competitive team sports activity.
Gove and Jeremy Search for, culture secretary within this summer's Games ahead of becoming health secretary for also stress the benefit of competition. The prime minister angered teachers' commanders and sports experts by deriding young people doing "Indian dance" as workout.
Will Norman, co-author from the report and this thinktank's director regarding research, said: "Kids wish to accomplish much more everyday sports like avenue running of the parkour and Zumba-type activities which are very flexible, is possible wearing different kinds of clothing or while hearing music and is possible individually. Competitive sports is useful for some people. But if we should get the many inactive active, we have to change our pondering. We need the philosophy that's driven by the people we want to target and not provide stuffs that the most inactive don't wish to accomplish. "
Farah, Crew GB's double Olympic platinum medallist at 5, 000m as well as 10, 000m, said parents and teachers shouldn't force children to perform sports they did not wish to accomplish. Any physical exercise that got young adults into the pattern of exercise was ideal for their health, he said, citing their daughter Rihanna's personal preference for dance as well as gymnastics over athletics or other typical university sports.
Johnson, London's Tory gran, helped launch this report and good its findings but wouldn't endorse them, the spokeswoman said.
The us government defended its method. "We want this Olympics and Paralympics for you to inspire people, whatsoever their ability, to get involved in sport, " claimed a spokeswoman. "We want more young adults to be a part of competitive sport, not only so that they lead healthy as well as active lifestyles and also so they produce new skills and learn to work as the team, " claimed a spokeswoman. "That is why we have been putting competitive sport in the centre of the new primary school curriculum and extending university games. "

Miley Cyrus has changed her boyfriend Liam Hemsworth's name to Kevin because her friends can't pronounce it.
The singer is fed up with people in the US failing to understand Liam's Aussie accent and calling him Leon.
Because her own friends seem to get it wrong, as well as complete strangers, she has come up with a way to stop it happening.
"Miley gets frustrated when the people in coffee shops screw up Liam's name - often writing Leon on his takeout cups," a friend claims.
"So now, when she or Liam are asked for his name when they are ordering drinks they just say 'Kevin'."
As far as pet names go, Kevin is a little bogan, Miley.

Task Force affirms APA's refutation of 'gender identity disorder' in new edition of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual
Inga Sarda-Sorensen
Director of Communications
(Office) 646.358.1463
(Cell) 202.641.5592
WASHINGTON, April 12 — The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force today affirmed the American Psychiatric Association's (APA) refutation of "gender identity disorder" in favor of "gender incongruence," but calls for the removal of "transvestic disorder" and expresses concerns about other proposed revisions to the upcoming 5th edition of the APA's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM).
The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force affirmed the APA's revision of its diagnostic category that commonly serves transgender and gender nonconforming people, changing "gender identity disorder" to "gender incongruence" in the proposed new volume of the DSM.
"We see this revision as an evolutionary step toward removal of all diagnoses related to gender nonconformity in the DSM," said Jaime Grant, director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force's Policy Institute. "Gender variance is not a psychiatric problem; it's a natural human variation that in some cases requires medical attention and support."
The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force's in-depth comment on the proposed revisions, which will be submitted to the DSM-5 Task Force, also calls for the removal of "transvestic fetishism," which pathologizes male-to-female cross-dressing, exclusively.
It notes that the "very notion that cross-dressing among female-born individuals is never pathological, while cross-dressing among male-born clients has multiple pathological manifestations reeks of a kind of sexism we find astonishing for psychiatry in the 21st century. It is well past time for the removal of disorders associated with disfavored versions of femininity, which call to mind the infamous 19th century diagnosis of 'hysteria' in women."
The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force also commented on the emergence of "hypersexual disorder" in this version of the DSM. "While the recent excesses of some prominent heterosexual men have brought this condition more to light, we continue to be concerned that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people may be targeted for this diagnosis by some providers," said Grant.
To add a commentary to the DSM revision process, interested parties should go to www.dsm5.org by April 20.

The mission of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is to build the grassroots power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community. We do this by training activists, equipping state and local organizations with the skills needed to organize broad-based campaigns to defeat anti-LGBT referenda and advance pro-LGBT legislation, and building the organizational capacity of our movement. Our Policy Institute, the movement's premier think tank, provides research and policy analysis to support the struggle for complete equality and to counter right-wing lies. As part of a broader social justice movement, we work to create a nation that respects the diversity of human expression and identity and creates opportunity for all. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., we also have offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis and Cambridge.

The first annual Dan Meyer Awards were a big success. While most of the world is focusing on players that succeeded in 2013, the DMAs focused on the dark side of batting statistics. Today, we are focusing on pitchers who were terrible in 2013. And despite this being more of a pitching era than a hitting era, there are no shortage of terrible pitching performances in this past season. This is the first annual Kyle Davies Award. Kyle Davies pitched for seven seasons beginning in 2005 with the Atlanta Braves. After toiling there for two and a half years, the Braves traded him to the Royals for Octavio Dotel. If you really want to know how unsuccessful Kyle Davies was as a pitcher, all you have to do is ask any fan of the Kansas City Royals. Davies compiled a lifetime ERA of 5.59 to go with a WHIP of 1.618 in 151 appearances, 144 of which were starts. Davies gave up over a hundred runs in two of his seven seasons. And it appears that he may not be done with his career. He pit...

The art world is a strange place. Full of egos, sharks suspended in liquid, and, sometimes, even truly talented people. As After Hours Athletes, we're always on the lookout for something new to do after the sun sets, and gallery openings are generally good fun with all their free drinks and hipsters waxing lyrical in front of blank canvasses.
The other night we decided to check out a small exhibition of Mr. Brainwash's work. Mr. Brainwash is a former street artist who has risen to art-world fame through his own exhibitions, and through Banksy's film Exit Through The Gift Shop.
Without going into detail, Mr. Brainwash stretches the very limits of the definition of artist. He has a team of designers on hand to actually create his work. It is art without the mess. Big exhibitions, big money, big canvass. No one knows what the artist is trying to say, but everybody loves the show.
The show was in Woodstock, an up-and-coming neighbourhood in Cape Town. Woodstock is part wrong side of the tracks, part gentrified apartments, part the best place to buy organic sandwiches. It's a bit of a mix, and a great place to go out.
After we had our fill of cheap red wine at the gallery, we took to the streets to look for beer, greasy food, and loud music. This is easy to find in Woodstock, and the best antidote for gallery openings.
If you want to check out the show, it's running at 34FineArt until 16 February.

Our strategy
Improve life in the country's most isolated, vulnerable regions by supporting education and entrepreneurship, and enhancing the leadership skills of women and youth.
The context
India's northern regions are home to some of the poorest and neglected communities in the country. Health, education and income levels are among the lowest in India's two prime tea-growing regions — Darjeeling and Assam — and in Kashmir. Both areas have long struggled with conflict and are fragmented by social and political unrest that leave the economy faltering.
Our work
- Women & Gender: Support the literacy of female tea workers and improve graduation rates for their children
- Agriculture & Food: Providing training and links to markets so spice farmers can make more from their crops
- Health: Bringing basic medical services and education about common diseases and maternal and child health to remote tea villages
- Economic opportunity: Connecting youth in Kashmir with technical training and incentives to start business ventures
- Children & Youth: Fostering conflict resolution skills and community engagement among young people in Kashmir

Inside MS
By Michelle Theall
Ask 10 different people with multiple sclerosis (MS) what the disease feels like and you will likely get 10 different answers. It's a bit like the story of the blind man and the elephant. When the man feels the elephant's trunk, he believes he has touched a snake. He holds the tusk and envisions a pointy marble spire. As he places his hands on the elephant's foot, he describes a giant tree trunk. In a way, MS is like that elephant. Those touched by it never know how it will feel, even though each rough patch is part of the same animal. Depending on where the attack occurs and how severe the scarring, this progressive autoimmune disease may manifest as numbness, paralysis, memory and cognitive function problems, blindness, bowel and bladder issues, fatigue, muscle spasms, painful sensations, and a host of other unpleasant symptoms.
I have MS, and it often feels like I'm sprinting underwater with someone sitting on my shoulders—off-balance, impenetrable, and weighty. At other times, it presents itself as relentless vibrations coursing through my feet, hands, arms, and face. After three years with this disease, I'm still not sure how it will announce itself on a given day, but its presence is undeniable.
Getting to Know the Elephant
How can MS vary so much within and between individuals? MS affects the brain and the central nervous system (CNS), and the CNS pretty much controls everything we say, do, feel, see, and think. With MS, the immune system goes haywire and begins attacking the healthy insulating tissue (myelin) that protects the axons in the brain. In my case, the misdirected siege caused nine or so plaques (scarred spots) in various areas of my brain. Since different sections of the brain handle different functions, any activity can be affected, depending on where the scars hit. It's as if MS were a bolt of lightening striking the circuit breaker box in your home—some of the wires might get fried, others remain untouched. The fridge still works, but the surge erased last night's episode of Desperate Housewives from your TiVo. When MS strikes it might cause balance or coordination problems one day; another day it may affect your memory or your vision; a month later, you may temporarily (or permanently) lose the use of your legs.
Almost 500,000 people nationwide have MS. In fact, a new person is diagnosed every hour. No one really knows what causes it, but theories abound. Some researchers suggest that a common virus like measles or herpes or even the flu may be responsible; others say a person can be born with a genetic predisposition to react to something in the environment, which will trigger an autoimmune response.
In searching for a cause and a cure, researchers look for common denominators among patient groups—and more than a few exist. This is what they know: MS strikes twice as many women as men; it prefers Caucasians between the ages of 20 and 40; it is more prevalent in geographic areas above 40 degr...

The Detroit Police Commission made it clear Thursday night that despite whatever happened in the past, they want DPD to show them the dollars before they approve a budget.Everybody needs money, and Detroit doesn't have enough of it. So you can understand why the commission is demanding answers to a few logical questions."How much did we really spend versus how much we budgeted?" said Chairman Rev. Jerome Warfield.He said the department should be able to answer those question with the click of a mouse."What the actuals will show us is exactly what we spent on manpower, what we spent on overtime, what we spent on service contracts," Warfield said.So why hasn't department brass turned it over? The commission has asked for it every year for the past three years and never received it."How do we project and plan for the future if we're not basing off of actual numbers," Warfield said.Especially since the Detroit Police Department takes the biggest bite out of the city's budget -- $350 million. This year, commissioners say they won't approve a budget until the department shows them the money."We cannot do our job unless we have that basic information," Warfield said.So what's the hold up? As of Thursday's commission meeting, this was the only answer."We have a Budget Operations in the police department, and it's their job to get the information that the board requested. I'll go back to the chief and express the concerns of the board, and they will get the information to the board as soon as they can," said Deputy Chief James Tolbert."This time we said, you know what, we're going to hold off sending that over until we get that information," Warfield said.The commission is going before City Council next week to explain their concerns, and they are hoping this move shows the police department that they are serious.Warfield also said Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr knows about this and stands with the commission. He made it clear that he wants the department to show the actuals before the commission approves the budget.

Almost all of us played with LEGOs when we were kids, and there's a very good chance we've passed the loved of these little locking blocks down to our kids.
But one dad isn't too happy with the LEGO Company right now, and it's all because of what he felt was a sexist sticker.
Apparently LEGOs had a set of construction worker-themed stickers, and one of them featured a little construction worker waving, with the words, "Hey Babe!" under him.
And while the company intended for this to be "humorous," the
dad wrote letters of complaint until the company made it clear that the stickers
had been discontinued.

The Shock have impressed with defensive efforts this season. This one might have taken the cake, though.
The Shock held San Antonio to just six second-half points on Friday night en route to a 77-30 blowout of the Talons at the Spokane Arena.
The Shock got touchdowns via a fumble recovery (Diryal Briggs with the score) and an interception (Terence Moore with the theft and score). The defense also came away with a safety.
Oh yeah, Terrance Sanders chipped in with a 56-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.
Paul Stephens had three interceptions and Sanders added the fifth for the Shock. Moore also had a fumble recovery to go along with his interception.
Terrance Taylor contributed with a trio of sacks on hapless Talons quarterback Rohan Davey, who threw three touchdowns to go along with his five interceptions. Davey also had the ball slip out of his hands twice, leading to turnovers both times.

Oregon man: Statue of Liberty needs western sister
Dec 26, 2012 | 1 Comment
By KELLY HOUSE
Of The Oregonian
PORTLAND — Jay Jarvie wants to build a West Coast answer to the Statue of Liberty, but he estimates he needs at least $10 million first.
The Medford resident with a background in metal forging and architecture says he wants Oregon to become home to a 140-feet-tall bronze statue to be called "Providence Lifts All."
The statue, cast with the same metal as the famous 151-foot-tall beacon of freedom on New York's Liberty Island, would serve as a reminder of authority, preparedness, protection, wisdom and responsibility.
She would serve as a sister to Lady Liberty, but not a replica. Wearing a long cloak that blows in the wind to reveal her lower legs and warrior's garb, Providence would hold a gleaming sword in the air. Her left hand would clasp a scroll.
Jarvie has created a 56-inch model of the figure he hopes to see towering over visitors one day on a 30-acre green somewhere in Oregon.
Jarvie has launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for the next stage of design, which involves building a life-sized statue to use as a basis for the final, laser-enlarged monument. He speaks with all seriousness about his ability to pull it off, but wound up raising only $185 of its $35,000 funding goal.
"The money itself is a daunting task," Jarvie said. "But as a lot of people say, 'you're not going to get anywhere if you don't try something.'"
Jarvie has amassed a team of friends and colleagues to serve on the project's executive board. He has researched construction options and collected quotes regarding the cost of laser-scanning a life-sized statue and enlarging the figure into massive bronze plates that would form Providence's 140-foot-tall figure. He envisions her standing atop a 40-foot pedestal. The monument and surrounding park would be open to the public, free of charge.
But first, he needs the cash.
Most of Oregon's public art is funded with a small percentage of the dollars used from construction projects on state and municipal buildings. But since Jarvie plans to privately fund Providence, finding backers could be a long and tedious process.
"It's an expensive undertaking, to be sure," said Keith Lachowicz, public collections manager for the Regional Arts and Culture Council.
Jarvie is aiming to finish fundraising in two years.
He has simplified Providence's design to save some money. Unlike the Statue of Liberty, visitors won't be allowed inside, and the pedestal will be less ornate.
If Jarvie realizes his dream, Providence will become Oregon's largest statue by far. Raymond Kaskey's iconic Portlandia currently holds the title, at 35 feet tall. That project totaled more than $350,000 in construction costs when it was built in 1985, not including a great deal of pro-bono work, Lachowicz said.
Besides being significantly smaller than the planned Providence statue, Portlandia didn't require a land purchase.
Jarvie expects Providence to come in at about $10 million, but constantly fluctuating materials costs make those figures difficult to determine.
After the unsuccessful Kickstarter, Jarvie will have to find another way to fund the life-sized model, which he hopes to use to lure more donors.
A spokeswoman for the Northeast regional offices of the National Parks Service, which runs the Statue of Liberty, said the parks service was unaware of Jarvie's project. Spokeswoman Jane Ahern said hundreds of smaller replicas of Lady Liberty exist worldwide, but no one has ever attempted a replica or sister statue as ambitious as Jarvie's. Lady Liberty receives 5 million annual visitors and is staffed with a four-person grounds crew to maintain the building's exterior, Ahern said.
As for the sheer work involved in building such a massive statue, "it's not as difficult as one might think," said Megan Atiyeh, who coordinates the Oregon Arts Commission's public art program.
"We make big things out of metal all the time in the U.S.," she said. "The good thing about doing laser is it works into existing industrial fabrication facilities."
Recent large-scale sculpture projects worldwide include Anish Kapoor's 377-foot tubular steel structure built for the London Olympics, which reportedly cost more than $30 million to construct. Hong Kong's 112-feet-tall bronze Tian Tan Buddha cost nearly $68 million when it was completed in 1993.
Jarvie says he won't let the fundraising false start discourage him. After all, the United States took a decade to raise enough money to build the pedestal upon which Lady Liberty stands.
"It's definitely just a matter of getting the message out there," he said. "As soon as people believe it really could happen, they want to be a part of it."

Josie finally went home. THANK GOD. I was so pissed that they had the chance to dump her last week but let Kristin fall on her sword instead. The whole contest was so obviously coming down to Kristin and Brooke that it just killed me to see Kristin go. They were the best and the most deserving.
I am guessing almost everyone else who watches the show felt the same way and the judges got pounded for it. So this week, when we fully expected to see Brooke go--her fried chicken was clearly the worst--they saved her and dumped Josie instead. Am guessing they understood that if they dumped the two top contenders, the finale and win for whoever eventually won would have been meaningless. They'd end up with another Hosea. Or the guy who beat Angelo Sosa, who nobody remembers.

(Reuters) - Goldman Sachs Group Inc
The accord would come on the heels of a separate $8.5 billion settlement announced on Monday with 10 bigger mortgage servicers, including America Corp
HSBC Holdings Inc
It is not clear how many of these banks are part of the $1.5 billion settlement that includes Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and other relatively small mortgage servicers.
The two sources did not want to be identified because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the settlement.
A spokeswoman for the Federal Reserve reiterated a previous statement that the Fed and the OCC continue to work with other parties outside of Monday's accord to reach similar agreements. Representatives of the OCC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Goldman and Morgan Stanley's respective roles in the settlement stems from mortgage-servicing businesses that the two investment banks purchased in the run-up to the subprime mortgage crisis, and have since sold. Goldman had owned Litton Loan Servicing LP and Morgan Stanley owned Saxon Capital Inc.
The Federal Reserve had ordered the two firms to conduct case-by-case reviews of foreclosures after widespread mistakes were discovered across the industry in the way U.S. banks had processed home seizures. The settlement would end those reviews and result in at least $1.5 billion in cash and assistance for borrowers.
(The story corrects to show Goldman, Morgan Stanley are part of a group that may agree to settlement)

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Ordered these for my daughters Bridal Shower. Customized the color to match her wedding theme. The cards were beautiful and contained all the information I needed. I was very pleased with the service and details of the card."
"The card stock was good quality, we ordered the shimmer paper with the scalloped edges which made the invite all the prettier. Would recommend the white envelopes if using matching return address stickers and address labels. I ordered the gold envelopes which looked very nice with the invitation but after putting the stamp, return address label and addressed labels on gold envelope it looked tacky."
"I was extremely pleased with the quality and design of these Invitations. The paper is perfect, high quality, and I loved the fact that I could customize almost everything. The designer review was fabulous! I would definitely recommend to everyone!!"
"Super easy to deal with! I needed to have changes made to the invitation I wanted. They made changes, sent me a proof and ordered. I also decided to call and expedite my order which they were able to do. I was surprised to receive a hand written thank you from the company as well. Great customer service!"
"These invites are beautiful online, but stunning in person. The colors, print, and design exceeded my expectations. I thought the colors were easy to read and show up nicely on the cream background. In addition, the customer service of WPD's is a step above other companies. They changed a couple of design issues I was having (changed RSVP to Regrets Only) so that all my information made sense on the card. The only issue I had was fitting all the information on the card. I ended up printing additional slips of paper with the brides registry information and taping it to the back. Which really, was fine with me as I think it would have made the front look cluttered. I will definitely be using WPD's again!!"

A federal judge sentenced former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick Thursday to 28 years in prison for his role in a public corruption scandal that cost the city millions. The sentence was a victory for prosecutors, who had recommended Kilpatrick serve at least that amount of time in prison, while defense attorneys argued for no more than 15 years. Minister Malik Shabazz, also an activist and long-time friend of Kilpatrick's, argues his sentence should have been probation or community service. "We got murderers walking around in the streets of Detroit. We got rapists - serial rapists - walking around in the streets of Detroit. I mean let's just look at him. Who has he murdered? Who has he raped? Who has he beaten? Where's the mercy?" Shabazz asks. In March, Kilpatrick, 43, was convicted of racketeering conspiracy, fraud, extortion and tax crimes. The government called it the "Kilpatrick enterprise," a years-long scheme to shake down contractors and reward allies. He was doomed by his own text messages, which revealed efforts to fix deals for a pal, Bobby Ferguson, an excavator who got millions of dollars in city work through the water department."It's a tragedy for him, for his family, for his children, and it's a tragedy about somebody with great potential from Detroit who has literally fallen from grace," former Detroit city councilwoman Sheila Cockrel tells Fox 2's Robin Schwartz. Cockrel served for 16 years and once called the Kilpatrick administration "rotten to the core."Other city leaders have issued statements in response to the sentencing. Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson's statement:"This is the end of a long Greek tragedy. What bothers me most is the sacrifice of a potentially brilliant career. The guy was intelligent, charismatic, witty and greedy as hell."Detroit Mayor Dave Bing's statement:"Today's sentencing sends a strong message to everyone in public office. As we move forward with Detroit's transformation, honesty, transparency, and integrity in city leadership will be paramount."

As international migration has grown and spread during recent decades, a number of states have been searching for greater cooperation to respond to some of the challenges that migration poses for countries and communities of origin, host countries and communities, and migrants and their families. While greater cooperation is sought, there has been no definitive consensus on how to act collectively to pursue international cooperation on basic goals such as reducing illegal migration, eliminating deaths and abuses in transit, and curbing the proliferation of smuggling and organized crime.
This policy brief explores the relationship between environmental change and migration to Europe in light of recent scholarship challenging the notion that environmental change triggers mass migration. It presents an overview of European policy response in this area and summarizes the spectrum of proposed solutions.
This MPI event discussed the Dutch model for fighting human trafficking and the strategic and operational dilemmas that public prosecutors in the Netherlands face.
This discussion with Mexico's new Ambassador to the United States focused on changing dynamics in Mexico, and their implications for both Mexico and the U.S.
The integration of mobile EU citizens as a specific target group has not been widely discussed, either at EU or national levels, and EU-level integration policies focus on the integration of legally residing third-country nationals. This report investigates the broad range of integration needs that exist in Europe.
While free movement is at the heart of the European project, the merits and impacts of intra-EU mobility have come under significant scrutiny recently amid public anxiety about competition for jobs and exploitation of welfare systems. This report provides a detailed assessment of free movement, motivations for migration, and challenges countries may need to address as intra-EU mobility enters its next phase.
The U.S. government has increased its attention to public security issues in Mexico and Central America since 2007. This report suggest the policy emphasis has begun to shift away from the earlier focus on combating drug trafficking and transnational crime toward addressing the citizen security crisis.
Thailand is well positioned to take advantage of the benefits of migration. This brief examines the country's migration challenges and two basic approaches to regularizing labor migration: Memoranda of Understanding with migrant-sending neighbors and nationality verification as a preliminary step for work permit application by unauthorized immigrants.
Predeparture orientation programs have emerged as an important tool for the protection of migrant workers for a number of Asian states. This brief examines the strengths, limitations, and areas for improvement of this intervention.

Now in its tenth year, the Boston Latino International Film Festival has brought to Boston many outstanding Latin American films that explore a variety of topics—from the environment to politics to music and so on. The festival lasts approximately a week and includes two days of free screenings, making it the largest film festival in New England with more free film programs than any other. Here are some of the films that stood out for me during the fifth night of screenings.
Director: Edy Soto & Ben Teplitzky / 10 minutes/ Mexico – USA / Short
Set in Ciudad Juarez, but filmed in El Paso, Texas, Reservado tells the story of Xavier, a waiter at one of the most luxurious restaurants in the city. Based on real life events, Xavier wants to buy his girlfriend an engagement ring; however he just has to work twice as hard to save up the money he earns. The filmmakers take a rather intense and serious story and add humor to it, further stressing the current life and death situation in Juarez. Its seductive cinematography makes for a memorable experience.
Sin Pais
Director: Theo Rigby / 20 minutes / USA / Documentary
One of the most compelling and heartbreaking documentaries on immigration I've seen in a long time, Sin Pais is a testament to the nightmare that many immigrants are living today.
Directed by Theo Rigby, winner of the 2010 Student Academy Awards (The Oscar) for Best Documentary, Sin Pais follows the Mejia family as they face their new reality— deportation. Separated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the parents are forced to leave behind everything they worked hard to attain in the United States. Rigby will take you on a journey you will never forget.
If this documentary ever plays at a film festival near you, I highly recommend you see it. The film has garnered multiple awards and has been the official film selection for countless festivals across the world. A MUST SEE! You can also purchase a copy of the DVD by clicking on the film title above.
Watch the trailer here:
AbUSed: The Postville Raid
Director: Luis Agueta / 96 minutes / USA / Documentary
An intense and infuriating, yet inspiring documentary about the largest, most expensive and most brutal immigration raid in the history of the United States, AbUSed: The Postville Raid exposes the discrimination and abuse that immigrants working for Agriprocessors—a Kosher slaughterhouse and meatpacking plant in Postville, Iowa were subjected to. Nearly 400 workers were arrested, mentally and physically abused by the company and tortured and treated like cattle while being processed by Customs and Immigration Enforcement. It is a devastating film to watch, but one that will leave you feeling empowered and begging for social justice. You can purchase the film on DVD or ask your library to purchase a copy.

RED Alert #3 - Red and REDDER in the Netherlands!
59 comments:
fun interview; nice to meet up with Riet via your blog, and to see Riets photography ventures. I need a saturation-fix for my camera; it doesn't do RED admirably.ReplyDelete
These are fantastic photos, and those sunsets are to die for, they are gorgeous.
I love the colours in the trees, beautiful indeed.
Very nice interview, I would love to see the Netherlands one day.
That's a wow of a sunset!ReplyDelete
A red couch? My partner would be very envious. I know what acer is but not cornus.ReplyDelete
That is interesting to see red from another country. That is one type of red we don't see much of in Queensland. I enjoy your interviews it is something a little different.ReplyDelete
That is a fabulous sunset!ReplyDelete
Great interview again, Red :)
Holy Cow Red!! Things really are redder in the Netherlands.ReplyDelete
Those are some Fabulous pictures!!
I tweeted this post and here is the link if you want to retweet it.ReplyDelete
Stunning sunset!ReplyDelete
What a great idea this is Red. Love it. When I visit my fav blogs I always feel as if I'm taking a World Tour from my computer chair -- your guest post idea carries it a step further and is wonderful.ReplyDelete
Fantastic shots!ReplyDelete
My entries:
Moms...Check Nyo
Love the idea of a guest post/interview! Certainly gives a fun twist to a post! And great to see Riet as star of this show! And the photos are stunning! Especially the sunset view from the 12th floor! Good one!ReplyDelete
@Carole - You're right - a camera that doesn't do RED properly isn't worth having! And if a fix doesn't work, a replacement ...ReplyDelete
@Magsx2 - I'm fascinated by a country reclaimed from the ocean. And what's NOT to love about those sunsets?!?!
@FruitCake - I thought we had a monopoly on FINE red sunsets downunder ... but RED Alert is proving me wrong!!
@Andrew - Botany is not my strong point so I'll take a leaf (!) from your book and let others do the research!!!
@diane b - Glad you enjoy them, because you're next, my friend!!
@Jayne - Thanx! To Riet of course, she did all the work!!ReplyDelete
@MJWC - Thanx for the tweet! Will be off to check it out any minute!!
@Beach Bum - You got that right ... but it's not even in OZ! What gives!!
@Sallie - Well just you wait till I get my 'Round the World with Red' happening again!!
@Liz - Welcome and thanx!
@Mary - Thanx to you too! On Riet's behalf ...
@Gemma - I've never been a fan of living in a highrise - but in this case I'd definitely make an exception!!
I love how you are bringing the rest of the world into focus for us even if the focus is RED.ReplyDelete
I keep waiting for the RED tide to show up so I can join in. Maybe a visit to the RED light district but I don't think they are too fond of cameras. Other than that it's all about the green in South Florida.
Beautiful images you've captured!ReplyDelete
Red Is happiness, have a great week!
I love red. You've captured some very pretty ones. Can you show us a closeup of the leaves of the "red" tree?ReplyDelete
Great shades of red in your photos.ReplyDelete
I like the phrase about the trees,"They're so beautiful they don't need a name!"
I'd had to have a close up of a leaf if I should start guessing.
Long lasting red sunsets are pure magic. I'll have to wait for yet a couple of months to sunsets experience them again.
Oh, I'm so longing for spring.
Beautiful colors, those skies are pure beauty.ReplyDelete
thank you so much for your visit and for leading me to your amazing blog! love these shades of red!!!ReplyDelete
What spectacular reds!ReplyDelete
Well done Red, such a good idea these interviews bringing different images in from other parts of the world. I do have one thing in common with Riet, the red couch, love it a lot!! Beautiful sunsets from her apartment, almost as fab as our sunsets from the beach!Looking forward to the next RED alert!!ReplyDelete
Great interview and captures!ReplyDelete
Happy RT2!
wowww., beautiful., it's amazing., i like it.,ReplyDelete
beautiful captures all!!ReplyDelete
That is the reddest sunset I've ever seen and I'd say those trees are Acers (Maples), but only because I don't know what the heck a Cornus is. (must google)ReplyDelete
Now I'm off to add Riet to my blog list.
P.S. I'm a little shocked that they don't all skip around in wooden clogs. Does this mean they don't wear those folded corners white hats either?
Rubytastic Redwonderful great Rubies I love a Sunset so you have won my heart. Have a great week fron a very cold England. XXX DonReplyDelete

@Lara - Well ... you could be a future RED Alert guest if you have RED pix!!

The mobile strip club, "BootyLounge," made headlines before being shut down back in 2011. But the club's owner is saying you can expect to see it on the streets again before Detroit Lions games.The BootyLounge was shut down two years ago for lack of commercial license or proof of inspection, Detroit police says. A former BootyLounge dancer believes if the club does return it won't last for long, not because of the nature of the business but because of the people who were caught going to it. Armani Knight, who has defended the business in the past, says Detroit police officers "come on the bus" and get dances from the girls, and take pictures with them. Detroit police now say if the proper licenses have been obtained, and inspection completed, if more violations still occur there's no stopping them from issuing citations like indecent exposure or obscene gestures if families and children are around. Knight defends the club, saying "There wasn't anything illegal going on; there wasn't anything, you know, really to draw the kind of attention that it did."VIDEO: Click on the video player above to hear more reaction to the BootyLounge return in Fox 2's Erika Erickson's reportThe Booty Lounge has been around since 2005.

TAMPA, FL (RNN) - Along with delegates from the 50 states and the District of Columbia who attend the Republican National Convention come a small contingent of delegates from U.S. territories.
Cecilia Lifoifoi, from the Northern Mariana Islands, lives 8,000 miles away from Tampa and had to cross an ocean to serve as an alternate delegate.
She says she and her husband, who is a delegate, spent 18 hours in the air traveling to the convention.
"We enjoy the crowd. We've come to know a lot of people [at the convention]," she said. "Our friends said 'You will have a good experience.' And 'Oh, we will see you on CNN and Fox News.'"
Claire Blanco, sporting a "Romney/Ryan 2012" hat and a jacket full of buttons, also is an alternate delegate from the Northern Mariana Islands.
"I wanted to see the convention. It's my first time here and it's exciting," she said.
The U.S. territories of Guam, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands all send delegates to the conventions.
The Northern Mariana Islands - located in the western Pacific Ocean - has nine delegates, along with Guam, American Samoa, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Puerto Rico has 23 delegates.
While Americans look to November for their chance to cast a vote in the presidential election, five U.S. territories have already done all they can for the electoral process. The conventions are the U.S. territories' only chance at having a say in who the next president is.
Back in March, residents of the American territories participated in primaries for the next GOP presidential nominee - and that's all the voting for president they will be allowed to do.
All but two of the combined 59 delegates allotted to the territories went to Romney. He was officially announced as the GOP nominee for president Tuesday at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, FL.
Delegates from territories can help nominate a candidate at the convention, but citizens of territories ultimately can't vote for a presidential candidate in the general election in November because only residents of states are allowed to participate.
Both the Democratic and Republican parties have willingly given territories the chance to nominate a potential president, a move that was allowed because neither the Constitution nor federal law prohibits it, and sometimes candidates need all the delegates they can get.
Delegates pay their own way to the convention, making this an expensive show of support.
But one that's worth it for Lifoifoi.
"We wanted to make sure Mitt Romney is [the president]," she said.
