American Apparel Will Make You Look Like A Tasteful Young Lady
For the past couple years, whenever I walked past 1) an American Apparel or 2) someone obviously victim'ed out in "AmAppy," I was reminded of the classic Jezebel post, "American Apparel Will Make You Look Like a Fat Hooker," in which Jezebels Jessica and Tracie dared to enter an AA and explore the racks of shining spandex, bandeau tops, peggings and glittery unitards.
Recently, though, I've walked past their stores around New York City and paused to look through the windows in surprise. It would seem the beleaguered company is quietly overhauling itself, perhaps to create distance from the notorious aesthetics of its skeevy CEO or… because the clothes made you look like a fat hooker.
Whatever the case may be, their unnerving soft-core campaigns have been a little slower to adopt (probably because they're really effective at pissing people off), so you can still see AA ads with groggy-looking teenagers touching themselves in knee socks or licking creepily anonymous crotch bulges. Don't panic.
But! But the clothes! They're so different now.
The Gloss' Deputy Editor Jennifer Wright accompanied me to a Manhattan AA earlier this week, with the challenge of creating several tasteful (even boring!) looks that avoided resemblance to the Jezebels' fat hooker misadventures.
If the clearance racks of shiny leggings crammed in the back of the store were any indication, AA is really trying to do something different. That's not to say you can't get a see-through mesh bra that would support only a pre-pubescent girl with a wasting disease, but it is to say that in order to reach the fat hooker costumes, you must first walk through aisles of louche slacks, preppy blazers and floppy peasant hats.
Please note that with the time constraints and the generally-accepted edict that one should not smuggle accessories such as belts, socks, and gloves into the dressing room, these looks are a bit under-styled. Not a big deal, ultimately, as we didn't want to push our luck with the commendably tolerant AA employees, and I think the muted classicism is kind of what they're going for anyway.
So. Two years later, the company has begun to completely revamp its signature style. In other words, no longer does one necessarily come out looking like a glutted sex worker, instead one may now look like a non-fetishized schoolgirl, a free-spirited 80's mom or even a Mormon Fundamentalist.
Thus: American Apparel will make you look like a tasteful, sensibly-dressed young lady.

Countryman's B3 is essential to any well-stocked pro audio toolkit. For starters, the B3 captures the highest-quality audio available in a lavalier mic, with field-selectable HF response caps and extremely low handling noise. Whether you need a tie-clip lav for an interview, a hair-hidden mic for drama, a water-resistant mic for water sports or hurricane reporting, or simply a small mic to hide in a prop flower vase, you'll never run out of applications for Countryman's B3 lavalier.
And that's exactly why they made the B3 so rugged. Kevlar protects its cable from excessive weight and stretching, and the mic's protective caps are extremely resistant to water, sweat, and makeup. You'd never expect such a mic to be so affordable, making the B3 one of the highest-value audio investments in your kit!

The term "global warming" is becoming blasé. According to a recent Gallup poll, 41 percent of Americans say the concept is exaggerated. Furthermore, scientists from all over the world now believe that the Earth has actually been cooling since 2001. Our sun, they say, is going into a cooling phase and it's the sun and not the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that actually determines how hot or cold it gets down here.
This hasn't sidetracked the old global warming bunch. To keep those contributions rolling in they've adopted new buzzwords like "climate change" and "global volatility."
What they're trying to tell us is that anytime the weather changes, it's still our fault. We drive our cars too much, and the wind blows excessively. Burn too much diesel, and it will make it hot or cold or too much of one or not enough of the other. We've made weather too volatile, more unpredictable.
I remember a Memphis March evening in 1968 when Channel 5 weatherman Dave Brown predicted that the following day would be precipitation-free. When Memphians awoke the next morning, March 22, a 17-inch blanket of snow had nestled into the landscape beginning to show the first signs of spring. Being 16 years old at the time, I didn't care much that Dave Brown got it wrong, but what could be more unpredictable than that?
The United Nations still hasn't heard the news about global warming. They're going ahead with plans to regulate us back into an unspoiled environmental state. They're doing this without a solid consensus among scientists.
An article in The Australian online newspaper quotes three Japanese scientists who question the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's recent acceptance of the premise that man-made gas emissions are causing global warming.
"I believe the anthropogenic (man-made) effect for climate change is still only one of the hypotheses to explain the variability of climate," said Kanya Kusano, a research group leader with the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science's Earth Simulator project. He added that it could take 10 to 20 years more research to prove or disprove the theory of man-made climate change.
"Before anyone noticed, this hypothesis has been substituted for truth," said Shunichi Akasofu, founding director of the University of Alaska's International Arctic Research Centre.
The Australian noted that Tokyo Institute of Technology geology professor Shigenori Maruyama said there was widespread skepticism among his colleagues about the IPCC's latest assessment report that said most of the observed global temperature increase since the mid-20th century "is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations."
"Our nation must pay huge amounts of money to buy carbon discharge rights," Akasofu said. "This is not reasonable, but meaningless if global cooling will come soon — scientists will lose trust."
The article concluded with a not so surprising observation from Maruyama who said many scientists were doubtful about man-made climate-change theory, but did not want to risk their funding from the government or bad publicity from the mass media, which he said was leading society in the wrong direction.
The scientists also made it clear they are not on one side or another of the global warming issue. It simply has not been debated, or researched, enough, despite what we're told.

A new census substitute in Dunmanway
From West Cork People dated December 2010:
The Dunmanway Historical Society has recently had restored a Parish Accounts Book. In the words of the magazine:
This is an account of the income and expenditure associated with the building of St Patrick's Church in Dunmanway during the period 1832 to 1848. This book was maintained by Fr James Doheny who was Parish Priest in Dunmanway from 1818 to his retirement in 1848, and is a testimony to his meticulous accounting of the parish finances as it details all who contributed to the building of the Church. In effect it is a census of all subscribers, street by street and townland by townland.
Fr Doheny also gives a very detailed account of all expenditure for the period, detailing the various sources of the materials used in the building ranging from the various quarries from which the stone was procured to the Altar and altar fittings from Lyons in France. It also gives us the names of all the tradesmen who worked on the church as well as the quarrymen, labourers and horsemen.
This book lay hidden in the presbytery for years until it was discovered last year by Fr. Ted Collins. "It is the most significant and historic discovery in the parish for quite some time"; so said Tommy Collins, Chairman of the Historical Society.
The book has now been expertly restored and preserved for posterity by Mucros Bookbindery in Killarney.If your ancestors were in Dunmanway around that time, you may want to contact the Dunmanway Historical Society or pay a visit to the Dunmanway Heritage Centre and make further inquiries.

The Roots of Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa
Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa (Diarmuid Ó Donnabhain Rosa 1831-1915), was a well known nationalist and Fenian leader. In my opinion, he was an Irish genealogist's dream. In his published recollections he not only devoted chapters to his birth and early upbringing, but there is even a chapter labeled "Genealogy." Okay, I am ignoring the part where he claimed he traced the family back to Biblical times. He's got enough interesting material to make it worth digging into the recent past.
He mentions so many people and places in his recollections, and not just his family, I thought it would be fun to track some of these people and places down. (Keep in mind that there are Donovans doing lots of genealogy research who have probably filled in many of my blanks! I'm just doing this to see what records prove useful.)
Here goes.
...On the tombstone it is recorded that Father Power died on the 10th of August, 1831. I was at his funeral; I heard my mother say she was 'carrying' me that day. It is recorded in the parish registry that I was baptized on the 10th of September, 1831; that my godfather was Jerrie Shanahan, and my godmother Margaret O'Donovan. When I grew up to boyhood I knew her as Aunty Peg. She was the wife of Patrick O'Donovan Rua, and was the sister of my mother's father, Cornelius O'Driscoll. Jerrie Shanahan's mother was Julia O'Donovan Rossa - my father's uncle's daughter...Jerrie Shanahan is my second cousin, and my godfather.A look at the church records of ROSSALETTIRI & KILKERAUNMOR (ROSCARBERY & LISSEVARD) shows two babies named Jeremiah Donovan born in 1831 (abbreviated Jerh). One Jerh Donovan was born in Ross, baptized September 4, father Denis Donovan, mother Ellen Driscol, sponsors Jer Shanahan and Margt Driscol.
I am more than three years older than my brother Conn...Searching the church records for children of Ellen Driscoll and Denis Donovan turns up the following siblings:
John 18 Apr 1828
Cornelius (Cors) 19 Jun 1834
Mary 7 Dec 1837
Well, not quite three years older but close!
The household of Renascreena consisted of my grandfather Cornelius O'Driscoll, my grandmother Anna ni Laoghaire [note: O'Leary], my aunts, Nance, Johanna, Bridget, Anna; my uncles Denis, Conn, and Michael. Michael was the youngest in the family. He keeps the old homestead now (1896).It doesn't get much better than that!
Notice that his grandfather was called Cornelius and there was also an uncle Conn. One of these men likely shows up in Griffith's Valuation in the civil parish of Ross in Reanascreena North. There are other Cornelius Driscolls in the same parish in the townlands of Derryduff, Downeen, and Maulyregan. Further research would be needed to distinguish them.
The Tithe Applotment for Ross was taken in 1834. The FHL film number for the civil parish of Ross is 256681. To pursue this further, I'd have to rent that film at the local family history library and look at Ross in detail. However, a kind soul out there has provided an online transcription of the Rosscarbery area.
I am not entirely certain how to interpret the transcription. But it looks as if a Cornelius Driscoll was in Downeen and there was one in Rainascreeny (Reenascreena) North. There is a Denis Driscoll in Downeen (Jeremiah had an uncle Denis Driscoll). It would certainly be worth looking at the the Ross TA film.
Notice also a Jerry Shanihan in Downeen in the TA, and also in Curriheen [Curraheen].
A map is an essential tool for looking at such data. Perusing such a map, it's easy to see that Reenascreena and Carrigagrenane are neighboring townlands. They lie north of Rosscarbery. Downeen and Curraheen are also close together, though they are on the other side of Rosscarbery. In any case, they are all local to each other, which matters.
Here is Jeremiah's uncle Michael Driscoll in the 1901 census.
Continuing with his narrative:
...In the family, had been four more daughters. Mary, married to John O'Brien; Margaret, married Jer Sheehan, of Shanava [note: his baptismal sponsors]; Kate, married to Martin O'Donovan Ciuin, of Sawroo; whose son is Martin O'Donovan of San Francisco; and Nellie, the oldest of the children, married, at the age of fifteen, to Denis O'Donovan Rossa, of Carrig-a-grianaan [note: Carrigagrenane], whose son I am.His mother Nellie (Ellen) Driscoll would have been about age 28 in 1831, so her birth year was about 1803, and the year of the Nellie Driscoll-Denis Donovan marriage was around 1818. Unfortunately the Rosscarbery church records don't go earlier than 1821, so it doesn't look like church records will help us. Maybe as more church records come online, we can find information about his parents' siblings.
Yes, married at the age of fifteen, my mother was, and born thirteen years after she was married, was I.
By the way, the family nickname Rossa comes from Rossmore, not Ross or Rosscarbery. If I post a followup, I will elaborate on that - and Donovans - in more detail. In the meantime, here is a Rootsweb thread created by descendants of the Donovans.

Hello from Kansas City (and scoring question).
Hello Everyone,
This is my first post here but have been scouring this site for the past few months. Like many have said before, this is a wonderful website with so much information and thanks to all the people that make it possible. I've recently taken up breadmaking and have been reading Hammelman's book (after researching here which one to get). The book is a great resource, but I think the best way to learn is to actually do it. My biggest struggles so far are general handling of the dough (right temperature, kneading, shaping, moving/loading it, etc.) but I think that will get better with time. Scoring bread is also tricky. I've posted a picture below on my recent loaf, it was a Country Bread from the book. I think it was my best bread yet but wonder why the scoring didn't result in a nice bloom. I posted a picture below, if I had to guess I'd say either the incision wasn't deep enough or the oven was too hot. Surely someone here has the answer.

Cubitek ATX-ICE Case Review
It is yet another new company for me to shine opinions on. Cubitek – a company founded in the late half of 2010, by some IT industry techs in Taiwan, attempting to add a third dimension to a boring two dimensional view on current computer products. Cubitek is focusing on this "third dimension" of PC cases. It isn't a company I am familiar with, but its philosophy is something well appreciated if it can be held up: "Build something we would want to buy at a price we want to pay."
Today we will be taking a look at the Cubitek ATX ICE. This case comes from the ICE series, which is a part of a new generation of aluminum chassis – at least that is what Cubitek thinks. It is said to be made with advanced aluminum extrusion and digital bending technology. It is supposed to be solidly built, dissipate heat faster than steel cases, more quiet, and neater looking. I guess it is time for me to be the judge of all this, so let's see what Cubitek really has to bring to the table.
Closer Look:
I wasn't really sure what showed up on the door step when I got home from work. It was an all black box with a lot of yellow tape on it (if you haven't figured out why the yellow tape, I will show you in the next set of pictures). The box has a Cubitek logo printed in the top left corner and some arctic mountains in the center of the box. The back of the box finally gave way to what it was, if the size hadn't already, it is indeed a case. It appears to be made of all aluminum (at this point I didn't know what I've already told you above, but the box was not heavy at all) and it's looking pretty nifty from the few pictures here on the back. I like that there is no text, as it keeps you wondering and wanting to open it even sooner.
The sides of the box don't have much on them. One side has a shipping slip for me and the other, some specifications listed in five different languages. The box really leaves this one open, as to what is inside, especially with all the tape (not that this is Cubitek's fault). But the simplistic box, which I absolutely love, leaves enough curiosity to open it up with decent surprise remaining.
So here is your answer to the yellow tape and it wasn't because Cubitek thought it looked pretty to pack the box this way. Me, being in the US, and Cubitek, shipping from Japan, means a nice trip through the friendly people at the US Customs Office. Nice is probably not the best way of describing it, as this box was clearly torn from end to end to find out what may lie inside. I guess they were just as curious as I am. It was at least all taped back up, well enough to get here and honestly that's probably more tape than most packages you will get.
I opened it up a little worried as to what I might find having been tossed around Customs, but it didn't look too horrible at first glance. Whoever inspected it up put a bunch of cardboard back in, I guess to make up for opening it in the first place. I thought it was a bit odd how the flaps of the box were cut to accommodate the extra height, but I guess what is important, is the fact the case got here in one piece.
Pulling the case out of the box was a little bit difficult, as it has quite different packaging than I, or most of you are likely accustomed to. Rather than beefy foam end caps, as I've always called them, we've got eight little foam corner caps. You can't quite see it in this shot, but two of the caps on the other side did not survive, although I'm hoping they protected the case in their deaths. Let's get the bag off and see what we have.

This morning I awoke with a gripping sense of urgency. Ironically, three cups of coffee later my heartbeat had calmed close to normal. Slowly it dawned on me: spa season is upon us.
Not "coming."
This is a very good thing. It is, after all, the business we're in. Never mind heightened stress, sweat and exhaustion. Bottom line is we are fortunate. People still have hot tubs, hot tubs still need supplies, and we have supplies. Period.
The hustle and bustle is merely an exercise toward growth; both personal and company-wide. I can live with that. Bring it on!

Rebecca Romijn
Celebrities Home / Entertainment Home
Whenever Rebecca Romijn is around, she lights up the stage. Whether it's on the catwalk of a big-time fashion show or on the big screen as a blue-scaled mutant, she's got the looks and the happy-go-lucky attitude needed to make it in a business weary of models trying to act. Rebecca began her career as a model when a scout discovered her while she was studying at the University of Santa Cruz. She quickly jumped on a train to Paris and skipped her way up the modeling ladder, landing a contract with Victoria's Secret, appearing in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and named one of People's 50 Most Beautiful Women in one year alone. She soon met John Stamos on the set of "Full House" and they married shortly after.
In 1997, Rebecca began an acting career as a guest star on the hit show "Friends" and quickly followed up with more guest spots on other popular shows like "Just Shoot Me" and "House of Style." In 1999, Rebecca was featured on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and made yet another venture from television to film in the comic book adaptation "X-Men." Rebecca's acting career shows no signs of slowing down and has proved to many that she deserves a place in Hollywood.

Rebecca SaysOn modeling:
"I'd have to say that, in general, models take themselves too seriously. Basically, they are genetic freaks who spend a couple of hours in hair and makeup."

General Motors Corporation Loses Its Patent Suit Against Noted Jew's Company .-New York, r— Congratulations arc be¬ ing extended tp David A. Brown, presi¬ dent of the Absopure Refrigerator Cor¬ poration of Detroit, and chairman of the $25,000,000 United Jewish Campaign, fol¬ lowing announcement of his victory in a protracted and eipochal legal battle against the Frigidaire Corporation, a division of the General Motet's Corporation. The suit, which had heen initiated by the Frigidaire Corporation against the Gen¬ eral Necessities Corporation, involved im-' portant patent rights in the manufacture of electric, refrigerators, and was be¬ lieved .to be of as; great importance as th.e famous Seldcn suit on the original patent on thc automobile .which Henry" Ford successfully contested several years ago. When the Frigidaire Corporation ini¬ tiated .its suit three, years. ago against the General Necessities Corporation,-to restrain it from manufacturing Absopure refrigerators, Mr." Brown . was in the midst ot the United Jewish Campaign, to the completion of which he had pledged his energies. Faced on the one hand with the throttling and possible annihi¬ lation of his business, and on the other with a tremendous self-assumed responsi¬ bility, he decided'with characteristic reso¬ lution to see both things through. Al¬ though the outcome of the Frigidaire suit concerned all other manufacturers of electric refrigerators, Mr. Brown per¬ mitted 'theni the role of interested spec¬ tators and undertook the battle single- handed. In the meantime, while his in¬ dustrial, futnre was at stake, he never¬ theless divided his time between Detroit and New York. He spent'long hours of' intensive work at his desk at the offices of the United Jewish Campaign in New York, and in speaking tours over the country to arouse and sustain interest iil the plight of the stricken Jews of East¬ ern .Europe. The suit originally begun by General Motors. Corporation involved seven of llhe patents used in the manufacture of lelectric refrigerators, but when the case came to trial before Federal Judge Ar¬ thur J. Tuttle, at Bay City, Michigan, all but one of the. infringement claims -had been voided. In handing down his de-' cision. Judge Tuttle declared the patent void, and dismissed the suit. And when news of the victory reached New York it found Mr, Brown, as usual, deeply im-. mersed in plans to'.complete the'collec¬ tions of the United Jewish Campaign and extend even further the helping hand of Jewisli relief.

Jewish Welfare Federation PliBces Two Children in Boarding Home Two little boys, aged - 7 years old, found a happy home, in Columbus through thc assistance of' the Jewish Welfare Federation. - These little boys' homes were broken in their infancy and through the splendid care and training in ow Jewish Infants' Home developed into two fine, healthy boys. The best ami most modern methods of child care ad¬ vocate the placing .of tlte.se children in a home where they can receive the nor¬ mal training and loye required by normal children. The splendid httle laramari.who has made a home for'these boys is'.mak¬ ing every, effort to.niakc them happy and to give them every possible chance for development. She has entered them into the public schools, in Sunday school, and is planning to give them Hebrew lessons. The superintendent of the Jewisli Wel¬ fare Federation visited the home ¦ just as the adopted mother was tucking Ihe two little boys in bed and was lislen- 'ing to theii: prayers. Surely no heart could be untouched at such a scene as this and surely there are many more 'Siich homes to be found in Columbus. The Jewish Welfare Federation needs homes for six children ranging from seven to thirteen years of age. We are appealing to you, mothers of Columbus, to open ydur homes to these young lit¬ tle hearts who need love and care. A moderate sum for the board of these children is provided by our organization as well as their clothing and school books. Lei us hope that these homes vuill he found within the next week. Please phone the Jevyish Welfare Federation, 555'East Rich street, Adams 3829, if ydu are interested in brightening a lonely child's life. R. E. L. SISTERHOOD NOT'ES ,The May meeting of the Rose E.

Maude Barlow has been around the world trying to solve the water crisis. She's seen the millions needlessly afflicted by disease in Africa by contaminated water.
She's trying to make sure that doesn't become a reality when she comes back home.
So she thinks one documentary might do a better job at curtailing a global water shortage than countless hours of canvassing ever could. And she thinks you'll be gripped by it, too.
That film is "FLOW: For Love of Water," and it launched on Hulu today. The award-winning feature explains that the world is running out of water—and the supplies we already have are being contaminated to help turn a profit.
Director Irena Salina followed Barlow and some other activists around on their journey to help the crisis before it becomes a worldwide disaster. It's remarkably informative and, in the end, surprisingly hopeful.
Barlow, who took the time to talk to Hulu about the project, just wants you to watch so that you'll be moved to help.
Hulu: Can you update us on your efforts in the two years since the film has made the festival circuit?
Maude Barlow: The biggest breakthrough we have had since the film was first circulated is the recognition by the United Nations General Assembly of the human right to drinking water and sanitation. This may sound strange given the obvious fact that one should have enough water for life regardless of ability to pay but it has been a long hard struggle to have this right formally recognized. I had the honor to serve as the first Senior Advisor on Water to the 63rd President of the UN General Assembly (Miguel d'Escoto Brockman) in 2008 and 2009 and worked with a team of dedicated people who fought to overcome the opposition to this development. The task now is to make this new right real to people and communities fighting for their basic water rights around the world.
There's already been some political progress in some cities since the documentary was released. How do you feel about towns like Concord, Mass., which recently banned the sale of bottled water in their town? Is this a stopgap, symbolic measure, or a step in the right direction?
I think it is wonderful that towns like Concord, Mass. have taken a stand on bottled water. Concord is not alone. Many municipalities, universities and schools across North America are banning bottled water and these bans have clearly affected the bottom line of the big bottled water companies. For instance, sales of the bottled water conglomerate Nestle have declined 17% in North America and Europe in the last three years. Clearly, this is just a step toward a bottled water-free world, as sales in other parts of the world, including many places where there is no clean public water available, continue to grow. But the word is spreading that bottled water is a major environmental problem, creating massive amounts of plastic garbage, using energy badly needed for other things and pumping out greenhouse gases around the world. One day, having a commercial plastic bottle of water on you will be as uncool as drinking and driving or blowing smoke in someone's face.
I think one of the most fascinating parts of the film is the focus on sexual side effects of growth hormones. Should the same amount of ire directed at the dairy industry (by activists, mostly) be directed at chemical manufacturers and the EPA?
This is a huge and growing problem and we need to tackle it at all levels: with the EPA, the drug manufacturers, the advertising industry that pushes these drugs, with food and milk producers, and with governments, who need to be regulating these hormones and other chemicals to protect our water. We are a chemical-dependent society and this habit is entering our water systems everywhere. (And that is no excuse to drink bottled water, which is no safer and often less safe that tap water that is regularly tested.)
This film primarily presents two major tenets: 1) We're running out of water, and that's killing people. 2) We're commoditizing water, and that's killing people. But something crossed my mind while watching this film: If there's a water shortage, doesn't charging first world countries—whose residents are more likely to afford it—actually help the problem by limiting consumption?
I am not opposed to charging a service charge for the cost of bringing clean water and wastewater services to those who can afford it. The issue is privatization. If a public utility charges a service fee, that money will be used to protect source water, improve infrastructure, and ensure equitable access. Private water operators, on the other hand, charge steep prices for these services in order to pay high salaries to their executives and dividends to their shareholders. And the public sector can encourage conservation, a desperately needed long-term goal. No for-profit water corporation can operate for long trying to sell less water! They have to encourage more water consumption to stay in business.
Since the film was made, has the commodification in South Africa been slowed or accelerated?
Commodification in Africa is still hotly contested and the jury is out on which model of water delivery—for profit or not-for-profit—will prevail. However, a new development greatly concerns me, and that is the practice where larger countries and global hedge funds are buying up holdings of land and water in Africa to hold for a future time when food and water are at a premium. Already an area twice the size of Great Britain has been bought up by foreign interests in Africa alone. As well, African lakes, such as Lake Naivasha in Kenya, are being used to grow thirsty crops such as flowers for export to Europe, drying up water sources millions depend on. Poor countries in Africa and other places are selling access to their water sources and exporting them in the form of "virtual water exports" to rich countries protecting their own water sources.
The film presents a scenario in which the world could eventually be centered around a water-based economy within the next few generations. Do you believe this could might actually take place?
Since FLOW was made, the threat to global water supplies has become even clearer. A recent study reports on massive over-pumping of groundwater all over the world, leading to complete depletion in some parts of the world. Another study (this one coordinated by the World Bank) predicts that, at current rate of extraction, our global demand for water will outstrip supply by 40% in just 20 years. Clearly, it cannot be business as usual. The world knows we re running out of conventional energy. But we can move to alternative, safer energy sources. However, there is no substitute for water and the crisis is getting worse by the day. Simply. put, if we do not start listening to nature and start respecting and restoring watersheds, we have a terrible surprise coming at all humans and all other species who depend on these dwindling water sources for life.
Even if the doomsday scenarios don't occur, aren't there sufficient health and economic benefits to streamlining these processes that would make it worthwhile to do so anyway?
Yes, even if all these studies on future water shortages by the United Nations and many scientists are wrong (and I don't think they are!), we still have a desperate problem to address right now. A new study by the World Health Organization tells us that every three and a half seconds, a child dies somewhere in the global South. Dirty water is a greatest cause of childhood deaths, more than HIV/AIDS, war and all accidents put together. In every case, if their parents could afford the price of water, these children would not be dying. These are preventable deaths and we need to wake the world up to this suffering.
There's a lot of intimidation in this film by corporations trying to squelch grassroots movements to stop the unlawful diversion of water. Have you experienced any of that since the movie came out?
Yes companies featured in this film have tried to stop its circulation in France, followed me around in audiences as I speak and have written challenging my assertions. Doesn't bother me at all. As my mother once told me: "Serious people have serious enemies."
The very end is very hopeful, and shows civilians and governments waking up to the water shortage and its roots. Do you think this can be curtailed with an active and informed populace?
I am enormously hopeful about our movement. I remember when no one believed in the reality of climate change and now it is understood to be a major issue for the planet. In my opinion, we are about five years behind the climate issue in terms of getting the word out on the global water crisis. In communities all over the U.S. and around the world, people are becoming "water warriors" and working to protect their local water sources and the equitable access to them. We are working to have water declared a commons, a public trust and a human right everywhere and even working to promote laws that protect water and nature itself. My latest project is the promotion of a Universal Declaration on the Rights of Nature to become the companion to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In the end, there are no human rights if there is no earth to sustain us.

[Information provided by: LSU Athletics]
LSU (57-10) seeks to keep its national title hopes alive at 2 p.m. CT Tuesday when the Tigers face North Carolina (57-11) in a College World Series elimination game at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, Neb.
Tuesday's game will be televised by ESPN, and it may also be viewed with the WatchESPN mobile app.
LSU dropped a 2-1 decision to UCLA on Sunday, forcing the Tigers into an elimination matchup with North Carolina. The Tar Heels fell to North Carolina State Sunday, 8-1.
The winner of Tuesday's game will play either UCLA or North Carolina State at 7 p.m. CT Thursday.
LSU coach Paul Mainieri, who has directed LSU to the CWS three times during his seven-season tenure, said the Tigers will regroup quickly after Sunday's loss to UCLA.
"We know what the rules are now," Mainieri said. "We've got to win four in a row to get through the bracket. It's very doable; you've just got to go out and play. We've got to play better than we did Sunday night. If we can do that ‑‑ we can't look beyond Tuesday. And we've got a really tough team to face on Tuesday.
"So we've just got to go back to playing good fundamental baseball and play better on Tuesday and hopefully get a win and get to play again on Thursday."
Mainieri said sophomore left-hander Cody Glenn (7-2, 2.41 ERA) will start Tuesday's game on the mound for the Tigers. Glenn will make his first appearance since defeating Alabama on May 22 in the first round of the SEC Tournament.
North Carolina coach Mike Fox will counter with freshman right-hander Trent Thornton (11-1, 1.28 ERA).
LSU is led at the plate by shortstop Alex Bregman, the National Freshman Player of the Year. Bregman is hitting .374 with 18 doubles, seven triples, six homers and 52 RBI. He has 104 base hits, which ranks No. 2 in the nation.
LSU senior first baseman Mason Katz, a first-team all-American, is batting .365 with 14 doubles, two triples, 16 homers and 69 RBI, while senior leftfielder Raph Rhymes is hitting .337 with 15 doubles, one triple, four homers and 46 RBI.
The Tigers are batting .306 as a team with 47 homers and 54 stolen bases in 80 attempts.
The Tar Heels enter Tuesday's game with a .305 team batting average, and North Carolina has recorded 48 homers with 86 stolen bases in 119 attempts.
The Tar Heels are led at the plate by senior first baseman Cody Stubbs, who is hitting .366 with 26 doubles, four triples, eight homers and 76 RBI. Junior third baseman Colin Moran is batting .340 with 11 doubles, three triples, 13 homers and 88 RBI, and freshman outfielder Skye Bolt is batting .323 with 13 doubles, two triples, six homers and 50 RBI.
The all-time series between LSU and North Carolina is tied 2-2. The teams first met in 1990 in the ABCA Hall of Fame Tournament in Orlando, Fla., where the Tigers posted an 8-5 win over the Tar Heels. LSU also defeated North Carolina, 11-4, in 1997 in the Winn-Dixie Showdown at the Louisiana Superdome.
The teams' most recent meetings came at the 2008 College World Series in Rosenblatt Stadium, where North Carolina recorded two wins over LSU by scores of 8-4 in a first-round matchup and 7-3 in an elimination game.

Johnson pours fourth on SpringSource
Enterprise support and that Sun "take over"
Since it changed its name from Interface21 towards the end of 2007, open source tools developer SpringSource has been quick to capitalise on its position in open source.
The first version of the Rod Johnson-devised Spring Framework was released just four years ago, in March 2004, but since then has quickly attracted an army of developers and - on the back of that - support from all the leading tools and middleware vendors eager to have developers build using their software.
In late 2007 SpringSource joined other open source commercial outfits by planting a flag in the enterprise software market. The company announced Spring Integration - its strategy for enterprise application integration.
In the last month, SpringSource upgraded its popular Java-based Spring Framework with a mouth-watering version for .NET and introduced Spring Dynamic Modules (DM) to make it easier to use OSGi.
The company has also struck key deals, notably collaborating with consulting giant Capgemini and the acquisition of Apache support specialist Covalent Technologies.
SpringSource chief executive Rod Johnson told Register Developer the growth of open source in large enterprises offers excellent opportunities for suppliers that can get it right. This we know. It's the "getting it right" part that's the challenge and that has frustrated so many start-ups that launched with grandiose plans.
Johnson, though, clearly thinks things will be different for SpringSource.
"You have to be confident about your software. If you are, then you welcome the way the open source world works. Enterprises can try out new software without the need to invest, so if what you are offering is good you will get rapid adoption," Johnson said.
To make a success of open source in the enterprise market, potential suppliers must be well organized, according to Johnson. "Once you have a large community where a lot of people are not going to pay you any money, you have to be able to deliver good [levels of] support for which you can charge subscription fees. But it is not only support - you need to find ways to add value to subscription services."
That might account for SpringSource's decision to support Oracle's RAC out of the gate. SpringSource has zeroed in on a clear market that's growing and promoted by a major, well-funded, vendor - Oracle.
That thinking would also account for the Covalent acquisition.
Covalent isn't an automatic recipe for success, though, and Johnson envisages challenges. Among these, the ability to combine the tools in the Spring Framework with the Covalent's Apache server technologies to create a simple, efficient platform for enterprise development.
"There will be an evolutionary process to bring our respective products together and a big part of this is to modernize Java-based developments. Remember J2EE is getting on for ten years old now and there is lots of unnecessary baggage that makes systems too complex. At the same time the business requirements are changing - organizations want to break down the silos and create applications which are not bloated."
That's a message Johnson at voiced QCon in San Francisco, California, last November, where - participating in a panel on the future of Java - the Spring founder supported the idea of cleaning Java of unused APIs, which he feels make the JDK too large.
There is some evidence the emphasis in use of open source software by enterprises is shifting away from infrastructure towards application development. This could be to SpringSource's benefit following the Covalent takeover. Covalent has an impressively large enterprise customer base that provides a potential market for SpringSource's development tools.
Johnson has said, though, the Covalent acquisition was also partly a defensive move by SpringSource to avoid a potential takeover by Sun Microsystems, who this month bought open source database MySQL.
That's an odd statement, given the differences in size between the two companies and their spread of interests. Johnson says, though, while he has good relations with Sun he believes the company has some work to do building bridges with the community.
"We think trust is so important in open source and one of the things that attracted us to Covalent was the way it has built trust from the open source community. I think Sun should be building relationships. It could for example improve its relationship with Apache and Eclipse where there has been some tension," Johnson said.®

After a flurry of trades to move down, the Eagles selected Daniel Te'o-Nesheim, a defensive end from Washington, in the third round at No. 86 overall.
The pick was acquired from Green Bay earlier in the night in the Birds' third of three deals.
The pick was acquired from Green Bay earlier in the night in the Birds' third of three deals.
Te'o-Nesheim (6-3 1/2, 263) leaves Washington as the school's all-time sacks leader with 30.5 (the previous record was 28). He made 194 career tackles and 50.5 tackles for loss (third in school history). He started al 49 games in his career.
Last season, he had 11 sacks, tied for fourth most in a single season at UW, was named all-Pac 10 second team.
"I think I am tough and definitely durable," he said. "I think of myself as a high-effort guy and I'll do whatever is asked on or off the field."
He came to Philadelphia about 2 weeks ago for a visit with the Eagles.
"I love how rabid the fans are and I love watching their defense play," he said. "We watched a lot of their defensive line when I came on my visit and it was just really exciting to see how hard they play. Even when I talked to Washington [defensive coordinator] Coach [Nick] Holt about it, he said that they are a great defense to play for and I would love to go there. That's what I was thinking as soon as I watched that film."
He could potentially end up playing some linebacker, and some draft forecasts had him as being better suited as a 3-4 linebacker than a 4-3 end.
"I'll just be happy to play wherever they want me to," he said. "I played a couple snaps (at linebacker), but I dropped into coverage in our defense, so I have no problems wherever they want me to go."
Te'o-Nesheim was born in Samoa, went to a prep school in Hawaii and then enrolled at Washington.
In case you are wondering about his name, Te'o is his mother's last name and Nesheim is his father's last name.
He said only watched parts of the draft and was not watching when he got the call from the Eagles. "I was just lying down and looking at the ceiling," he said.
Earlier tonight, the Eagles selected South Florida safety Nate Allen with the 37th overall pick, acquired from
It is the first time the Eagles have selected defensive players with their first three picks since 2002, when the Birds selected Lito Sheppard, Michael Lewis and Sheldon Brown.

Let me start by saying that I like cherries. I value them. They are one of my favorite fruit. But while an ice cream sundae may not taste its best without one, it is still an ice cream sundae.
I say all this because I am about to talk about closers, which to me are baseball's equivalent of a cherry. This topic of discussion arises from last night's melt-down in Pittsburgh, where Brad Lidge blew his ninth save of the season and gave fresh fodder to the we're-doomed-if-this-continues crowd.
Again, let me re-iterate. I value cherries, and I value closers. There is no question Lidge was one of the key factors for the Phillies' World Series title last season. Without him on the mound pitching at his best, do they win Game 5? Maybe. Maybe not.
Would a dominant Lidge greatly enhance the Phillies' chances of repeating this year? Absolutely.
But is a dominant Lidge absolutely necesarry? History suggests no.
In today's game, the closer has taken on an almost mythical status. And rightly so. One need only look at the Red Sox's Jonathon Papelbon, the Yankees' Mariano Riveira, and the Angels' Francisco Rodriguez to see the value in having one player who can shorten every game by one inning.
But I also think our perspective is clouded by the fact that those three players have competed for five of the last 10 World Series champions.
EDIT: As a couple of you have pointed out, Papelbon was not on the '04 team, as originally stated. Instead, the equally-dominant Keith Foulke was. High Cheese regrets the error, although the over-riding point remains the same.
In an ideal world, at least in the one inhabited by the Phillies, Lidge would be included in those ranks. But right now, it is painfully evident that he isn't. Last night, both Charlie Manuel and Lidge seemed at a loss for words following the Phillies' 6-4 loss to the Pirates. For the first time in any of Lidge's nine blown saves, both men seemed to be searching. Their voices were far away when the talked. Their minds were somewhere else. Say this about both men - when they talked on prior occasions, you really felt like they believed that Lidge would turn it around. Last night, however, that conviction was missing in their voices. Lidge talked softly about the difficulty of pitching four days straight, even though he recorded saves in four straight games earlier this season while throwing more pitches over that stretch than he did in this most recent one. He has pitched in four straight games on two other occasions over the last two years, and never with the results of last night.
So yes, the Phillies have a problem.
But it is not an irreversible one, particularly with the influx of arms they could soon receive in the bullpen.
First, let's take a look back at recent history. While five of the 10 World Series Champions from 1998-2007 featured either Papelbon, Rivera, or Rodriguez at closer, five of them did not. And in four of those situations, the closer situation was just as tenuous as it is right now for the Phillies:
1) 2003 Marlins: During the regular season, closer Braden Looper blew six saves. In late September, the Marlins replaced him with righthander Ugueth Urbina, whom the team acquired from Texas in early July. Urbina went on to save four games during the playoffs, posting a 3.46 ERA, including two in the World Series. Looper pitched in three games in the World Series, allowing four runs on six hits with two home runs in 3 2/3 innings.
2) 2006 Cardinals: During the regular season, closer Jason Isringhausen blew 10 saves, then went on the disabled list in September with a hip injury. He was replaced by Adam Wainwright, who had a 3.12 ERA during the regular season, then went on to save four games in the playoffs, pitching a total of 9 2/3 scoreless innings during St. Louis' title run.
3) 2005 White Sox: Chicago had a lights-out closer in Dustin Hermanson, who saved 34 games and posted a 2.04 ERA during the regular season. But in September, Hermanson went on the disabled list with a back injury and was replaced by mid-season call-up Bobby Jenks, who saved four games during the playoffs, including two in the World Series.
4) 2001 Diamondbacks: Byung Hyun Kim saved 19 games and posted a 2.94 ERA during the regular season, then saved three games in 6 1/3 scoreless innings in the NLDS and NLCS. But in the World Series, he blew both of his save opportunities, allowing five runs between them. The Diamondbacks went on to win in seven games.
So how does all of this relate to the 2009 Phillies?
First and foremost, it gives an indication that a closer is an important part of a dynasty. Again -- remember the cherries -- I am not down-playing that. None of the aforementioned four title winners won more than once in the given 10-year span. The Red Sox, with Jonathon Papelbon, won twice. The Yankees, with Rivera, won three times.
But it also gives an indication that if a baseball team is a Lizard, then a closer is the Lizard's tail. If you chop off the tail, a new one will grow. It might take awhile, and it might be painful, and if the Lizard had its druthers then he certainly would have elected to keep the original, but he'd much rather lose his tail than his head.
While the Phillies bullpen has been marred by injuries and inconsistency this season, it also has the possibility of possessing unprecedented depth during September and October.
If the three key performers currently on the disabled list -- lefthander J.C. Romero and righthanders Clay Condrey and Brett Myers -- return during September (a big if, I admit), the team will have plenty of options to sort through in the final weeks of the regular season.
*Brett Myers: He has closed before, reports say his velocity is up over where it was before his injury, and he has the ability to pitch either multiple innings or in the back of the bull-pen.
*Chan Ho Park: Like Myers, he has back-of-the-bullpen stuff as well as an ability to pitch multiple innings.
*Ryan Madson: He struggled in his brief stint as closer when Lidge was on the disabled list, but there is no questioning his stuff.
*Scott Eyre: Manuel used him to retire two left-handed batters in the ninth inning earlier this month in Atlanta before sending Lidge in for the one-out save.
*J.C. Romero: When he signed a three-year extension prior to last season, it was with the assumption that he would give the Phillies a left-handed option for the back of the bullpen.
Right there you have five players not named Lidge who have the type of repetoire it takes to succeed in the ninth inning. Last year, the Rays made it to the World Series using a closer-by-committee approach, using parts far less capable than the ones the Phillies currently possess.
Am I suggesting the Phillies go with a committee approach? No. I'm just suggesting that they have options. And while none of them makes them as strong of a team as they are when Lidge is shutting down the ninth inning, I do think that Lidge's struggles are surmountable.
I also think that Manuel does not need to be in a rush to evaluate his other options. That time is coming, but it is not here yet. Urbina did not replace Looper until the final week of September. The Phillies still need to find away to straighten Lidge out, and with every passing game, there is less and less evidence that they will succeed. But with a seven-game division lead, is there much harm in running him out there until Myers and Romero return, hoping that something might finally click? And, if something does not click, in using the final two or three weeks of the season to implement the back-up plan?
Again, back to the cherries. I am not down-playing their importance. Believe me, there is nothing more frustrating then heaping hot fudge, caramel and whipped cream onto vanilla ice cream and then realizing that you do not have the cherry. There is no guarantee that you can run out to the store, buy a jar, and return before your dessert turns into a puddle.
But it has been done before.

|Compiling Data for Food Composition Data Bases (UNU, 1991, 68 p.)
Public health nutrition activities; agricultural, nutritional, and epidemiological research; food industry and trade decisions; and government planning and policies concerning nutrition and agriculture all depend on accurate knowledge of what is in foods. Currently, these data are not always adequate for existing needs. Often they are incomplete, inaccurate, inconsistent, incompatible, or inaccessible. While there is much excellent information on food composition throughout the world, its ultimate utility could be increased by better communication and interchange of both information and ideas among countries.
INFOODS was formed in 1983, under a mandate of the United Nations University, to develop operational communication paths between the gatherers, the compilers, and the users of food composition data [70, 69]. As part of its activities, funded primarily by agencies of the United States Government (the National Cancer Institute, the Food and Drug Administration, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, and the Department of Agriculture), INFOODS was commissioned to prepare a series of guidelines on how to collect and analyse foods for nutrients and other substances, how to record and communicate food composition data, and how to use food composition data in research and practice. This document focuses on the issues involved in gathering together, and estimating where necessary, the specific data needed for a food composition table or data base. It should be useful to developers as well as users of food composition data bases, at both local and national levels.
A prime concern of INFOODS has been fostering formal and informal discussions to outline areas in which guidelines would be useful. Starting with the initial INFOODS meeting in Bellagio, Italy [73], and continuing through the initial regional meetings of EUROFOODS [102], ASIAFOODS [71], LATINFOODS [12], and OCEANIAFOODS [20] and annual meetings of the U.S. National Nutrient Databank Conference, there have been groups focusing on how one actually obtains and combines food composition data into a data base. In late 1986 an international meeting was held in Washington, D.C., to discuss the general problems of "missing data", i.e., how to deal with situations in which no analytic data exist. This meeting produced the general plan for the current document. A first draft of the document was circulated to those who had attended that meeting and to the various regional liaison groups; the current version incorporates their very helpful suggestions.

STOCKTON - Adrian Vega is on trial, charged with a hit-and-run on a triathlete that occurred because she was texting while driving.
STOCKTON - Adrian Vega is on trial, charged with a hit-and-run on a triathlete that occurred because she was texting while driving.
"The defendant took off straight home like a coward without checking to see if what she hit was a cat, a dog or a bicyclist," the prosecutor says.
But the defense attorney says her client wasn't driving the offending vehicle.
"She was (in the car)," the attorney argues, "but as the passenger. Your honor, I am only stating what the evidence shows."
This scene played out not in a courtroom but in a class at Pacific Law Academy, a small Stockton Unified high school on the Stagg High campus.
"Not only do we learn," said 17-year-old Lisa Cruz, who portrayed the fictitious defendant, "but it's hands-on learning, and it's interactive."
More and more, K-12 school districts in San Joaquin County are providing students with real-life learning opportunities, from classroom simulations such as the mock trial to actual internships in medical facilities.
"I think we need to continue to provide different pathways for students that will meet their needs, whether that is meeting (college entrance) requirements, preparing students for career/technical colleges or providing industry certification to join the job force upon graduation," Lincoln Unified Superintendent Tom Uslan said. "This combination of providing pathways for our students is essential."
Lincoln High's highest-profile program of this sort is its architecture and construction academy. Stockton Unified offers a wide range of career pathway programs at its four large high schools and its smaller secondary-school campuses. The same can be said for the other school districts in the county, as well as the various public charter schools and private schools.
Programs such as these are seen by business officials and educational leaders alike as integral to the development of a skilled labor pool that will attract more high-paying jobs to San Joaquin County.
"It brings in business if you have an educated workforce," Stockton Unified Superintendent Steve Lowder said. "Hopefully it keeps kids on the straight and narrow. What a school can do for a community can be an amazing thing. I think it's critical to improving Stockton."
Charter schools - some operated by independent organizations, some by traditional school districts - are playing an important role in developing future workers. Freed from some of the regulations that restrict traditional public schools, the charters have the flexibility to serve as laboratories in the effort to find what works.
With its "College for Certain" pledge, Aspire Public Schools has been lauded for its success with a student population demographically similar to those served by traditional districts.
Downtown Stockton in recent years has become home to two other independently operated charter schools: the K-12 Stockton Collegiate International and the K-4 TEAM Charter School, which specifically targets low-income and minority students. Stockton Early College Academy, with its rigorous approach, as well as Pacific Law Academy and Health Careers Academy are examples of Stockton Unified charters targeting the goals and interests of a wide range of students.
"Charters can show us some of what's possible," said Lynn Beck, dean of the Benerd School of Education at University of the Pacific. "I don't think they're the answer, but they're part of the answer."
Education, in whatever form it's delivered, must be viewed only as part of the solution for what ails the county, Beck said. In San Joaquin County, United States Census figures show that nearly one of every five residents lives in poverty. Beck said poverty and all that accompanies it - inadequate resources for health and dental care, lack of physical safety, improper nutrition - are among the major impediments for schools trying to educate their students.
"Poverty is a huge predictor of poor academic outcomes, often because poverty trumps things schools can do," Beck said. "It's a very big issue we need to deal with."
Providing education to children of poverty during their formative years is especially critical, Beck said, and will pay great long-term dividends if society is willing to pay for such programs over the long haul.
"We'll all win if we invest early, but we're not going to see results for generations, and it will probably take two generations before we experience societal lifts," she said.
For the students who have made it to the mock-trial class at Pacific Law Academy, the future beckons.
In a few years, some of them intend to be attorneys, careers that will have had their start because of the innovative educational opportunities afforded them during high school.
"My kids are engaged, and there's no effort on my part to get them there," mock trial teacher Ryan Pinkham said. "Teaching a hands-on program is easier for me as a teacher, and I feel the students get more out of it."
