two cases uf this sort turned uptiiiw week riyht here in washing ton one man a musician regularly em ploved and the other a government clerk and there are many more hue tbe>e two men were re-examined and their pensions reduced to 17 and s'2o a mouth respectively and so apparent was the justice of the reduction that neither of them availed themselves of the right to appeal from the decision of the board or examiners a little incident occurred this week at the pen-ion office which shows that politics do nor enter into the pres ent conduct of that office a demo cratic congressman called to protest against tit reduction or the pension ot a prominent democratic worker in his district and saad that the man had in fluence enough to throw his district which is close to the republicans the papers in the case were produced and it^vvas conclusively shown that the man was drawing a larger pension than he was entitled to and the con gressman had to acknowledge it al though lie still asked that tins particu lar pension be not reduced he was informed as other democratic con gressmen have been liho called up n similar errands that the policy of this administration was to administer 1 he

who knows considerable about the inside workings of some of the other so-called scientific bureaux of the government ifa man like morton was put in charge of the geological and tlu j coast survey

Broadus Steadings of Spartanburg says this country's leaders aren't using their thinking caps when it comes to looking for a cure for Social Security problems. "I suggest that they do away with all foreign aid and use the money saved to pay Social Security back all the money they have borrowed," he says.
Broadus Steadings of Spartanburg says this country's leaders aren't using their thinking caps when it comes to looking for a cure for Social Security problems. "I suggest that they do away with all foreign aid and use the money saved to pay Social Security back all the money they have borrowed," he says. "Furthermore, the money that is saved could be given as an annual raise to retirees and future retirees. By doing away with foreign aid, we could possibly pay China back the money we owe."
'IT SAYS SO MUCH': Patty Queen says the Stroller reader who was touched by the NFL players huddled in prayer should have been at the NCAA Division II playoff game between Lenoir-Rhyne and Carson-Newman last season. "Every coach, player, trainer and water girl from both teams huddled for a postgame prayer," she says. "It literally brought tears to my eyes knowing that those two teams could come together in prayer after a very intense battle where one team's season came to an end and the other team went on to the next round. It says so much about character of the coaches and players of those two teams."
'CAROLINA GIRLS': Becky Taylor and Linda Walker are "Carolina Girls," no question about it, and when a special guest appeared at a cruise party hosted by The Stroller while at sea last month, their cameras worked overtime. "You won't believe who we met on the cruise," they teased folks back home. "Coach Spurrier attended our party, and we have pictures," they gushed. Well, it was the coach's double, although the "Carolina Girls" say he definitely could pass as the real coach's son.
ON THE ROAD: There's still time to sign up for the next On The Road With The Stroller trip to historic Savannah, Ga., plus a tour of the S.C. Statehouse and some delicious Southern fare promising no one will go hungry. You can get a reservation form either at the Herald-Journal or by calling our travel agent at 336-794-3233. Reservations for the April 28-30 trip are being accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
'HAND ME THE BROOM': A little boy's mama taught him to not be afraid of the dark because God is everywhere and always with him. One night, the lad's mama told him to go out on the back porch and get the broom. He went to the door, opened it and said, "God, please hand me the broom."
ODDS AND ENDS: On March 14 at 7:30 p.m., there is going to be a "Girl Rising" in Spartanburg. "Girl Rising" is a documentary that tells the stories of some courageous girls and will be shown at Spartan Stadium 16. Remember Malala Yousufazi, a 14-year-old girl shot in the face on a school bus in Pakistan? When seeing the documentary, you will get to know more about her and eight others who are trying to make the world a better place. Selena Gomez, Anne Hathaway, Alicia Keys and Meryl Streep are just a few of the voices that will be heard narrating the stories. The movie is rated PG-13, so parents need to decide about bringing any younger girls. You can reserve tickets online at gathr.us/screening/862. More than 100 seats remain available, and the cost is $10.

Alternative Names
Culture - pericardial fluid
How the test is performed
Some people may have a cardiac monitor placed before the test to check for heart disturbances. Patches called electrodes will be placed on the chest, similar to during an
The skin of the chest will be cleaned with antibacterial soap. A trained physician, often a cardiologist, inserts a small needle into the chest between the ribs into the thin sac that surrounds the heart (the pericardium). A small amount of fluid is removed.
You may have an ECG and chest x-ray after the test. Sometimes the pericardial fluid is taken during open heart surgery.
The sample is sent to a lab, where special techniques are used to grow bacteria in samples of the fluid. It can take a few hours to several weeks to get the test results, depending on the type of organism.
How to prepare for the test
You will be asked not to eat or drink anything for several hours before the test. You may have a chest x-ray or ultrasound before the test to identify the area of fluid collection.
How the test will feel
You will feel some pressure and discomfort when the needle is inserted into the chest and the fluid is removed. Your doctor should be able to give you pain medicine so that the procedure does not hurt very much.
Why the test is performed
Your doctor may order this test if you have signs of a heart infection or if you have

Normal Values
A normal result means no infectious organisms are found in the fluid sample.
What abnormal results mean
Abnormal results may be due to an infection of the pericardium. The specific organism causing the infection may be identified. Additional tests may be needed to determine the most effective treatments.
What the risks are
Complications are rare but include:
- Heart or lung puncture
- Infection

MLK Commission, ICRC announces 2013 plans to celebrate Dr. King
Indianapolis—The Indiana Civil Rights Commission and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Indiana Holiday Commission announced today plans to celebrate the King Holiday in January 2013. In addition to the 22nd Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Indiana Holiday Celebration and Youth Summit on January 17th, the Commissions have introduced an Art, Writing and Multimedia Contest for high school students and a Day of Service on January 18th.
"Dr. King believed strongly in community service projects," said Jamal Smith, Executive Director of the Indiana Civil Rights Commission." That's why I am so excited about the Art, Writing and Multimedia Contest and the Day of Service which both place a heavy emphasis on giving back to the community."
More than 300 students from across the state, grades 6-8, will take part in the 22nd Annual Dr. King Youth Summit on Thursday, January 17th. Students will begin their journey in the Indiana State Museum where they will take part in interactive programming and listen to famous speeches by Dr. King. Students will then travel across West Street for the Statehouse program.
The Statehouse program, which is open to the public for no charge, is expected to bring together more than 600 students, state employees, local and state government officials, human rights agencies and Indiana residents from across the state to celebrate the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Gary Brackett, former Indianapolis Colts linebacker and philanthropist, will deliver the keynote address. There will also be remarks by a member of the Governor's office and the presentation of four awards. The awards ceremony will be highlighted by the Passing the Torch award which will be given, along with a $500 college scholarship, to the winner of the Art, Writing and Multimedia Contest.
"The Art, Writing and Multimedia Contest requires students to select a medium to highlight a community service project they are currently or have been a part of," added Smith. "The winner of this contest will have demonstrated not only excellent community responsibility but artistic talent."
In addition to celebrating community service projects students are actively involved in, the Indiana Civil Rights Commission and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Indiana Holiday Commission are hosting a series of projects of their own on the King Holiday, January 18th.
The Indiana Civil Rights Commission enforces the Indiana civil rights laws and provides education and services to the public in an effort to ensure equal opportunity for all Hoosiers and visitors to the State of Indiana. For more information on the Indiana Civil Rights Commission visit: www.in.gov/icrc.

Diana Jimeno-Ingrum, assistant professor of management, joined the faculty at the Mendoza College of Business in October 2008. The native of Lima, Peru, holds a Ph.D. in human resource management and industrial relations from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She conducts research on organizational behavior as well as innovation and creativity in organizations. A paper in which she is lead author, "Stereotypes of Latinos and Whites: Do they Guide Evaluations in Diverse Work Groups?" was recently accepted for publication in the Journal of Cultural Diversity and Ethnic Minority Psychology. It includes some surprising findings about cultural biases.
What are your areas of interest?
When I did my master's degree in psychology, I found social psychology to be extremely interesting. There is a lot of interest in research that is practical. Looking at questions that are related to social psychology in the business world was my primary focus. In particular, I was interested in diversity issues, Latinos versus Caucasians, perhaps because of my own background.
What did you learn from your "Stereotypes of Latinos and Whites" paper?
Previous researchers found that minorities within groups or teams end up contributing less to the team's work or product than usual or compared to Caucasians who are majority individuals. I thought this was interesting, because in the business world we are seeing this influx of cultural minorities—Latinos, Asians and African Americans. The researchers had not separated numerical minorities from racial or ethnic minorities, meaning whether the person is the only one of his kind in the group, or whether he is of a societal minority group. My co-authors and I did a study that put together majorities and minorities and compared them to numerical minorities and societal minorities. We examined whether stereotypes of Latinos as less warm and less competent than Caucasians affected perceptions of individuals.
We conducted a study of interacting groups in which half of the groups had three white members and one Latino member. The other half of the groups had three Latino members and one white member. Groups worked together on a decision-making task, and then each member privately rated each other's competence and warmth.
We found that Latino members were evaluated as less competent and less warm than whites in both majority-white and majority-Latino groups. Whites received the most favorable ratings in majority-Latino groups, while Latinos received the least favorable ratings in majority-white groups. Numerical-minority Latinos were rated the lowest.
How do you interpret these findings?
Basic research would predict that we are instinctively prone to prefer the group with the higher social status. The studies seem to show that even Latinos, unfortunately, have stereotypes about their own in-group. The status of a social group tends to matter more than the numerical representation.
It is unfortunate that this is happening. If I had just one take-away from the findings of this study, it would be that knowledge is key: that no matter how well meaning we are, no matter how we want to remain objective, we need to be aware of those biases and the stereotypes that are conjured up when it comes to these interactions.
What research are you conducting on creativity?
I am studying whether diversity in the workplace leads to a more creative product. The thought is that a diverse workplace is likely to lead to more creative outcomes because you have divergent thinking from people with diverse backgrounds and experiences. I found there is very little research other than anecdotal evidence. I decided to study whether the more diverse the population, the more creative we can be.
There's a relationship between information exchange and creativity. Creativity comes through talking with others, exchanging information. How would your knowledge mix with my knowledge? It has to be through communication and how much we communicate. I looked at the amount of information exchanged and whether the demographic background of individuals with whom the subject exchanged information mattered for creativity.
The arguments in past research were that work-related information exchange is what really leads to creativity. I looked at whether non-work related information exchange--what you did last weekend or what your children are doing-- really affects our creativity in the workplace. If you have a lot of social exchange, it would seem to help creativity because individuals feel that if they trade social information, that means they had support from their coworkers and supervisors, which may make them more likely to go beyond their regular work duties. Which type of communication makes you more likely to create an innovative product?
Did you find that social interactions at work stimulate creativity?
Maybe it makes you a more creative parent, a more creative gardener, but the non-work information exchange was detrimental to work creativity. My theory is that the time you spend talking about social matters at work takes away from the time that you spend talking about work matters. Work-related communication affected creativity in a positive manner, but only to a certain limit. For non-work communication, there is a straight negative relationship to creativity, meaning the more you communicated with others in the workplace about non-work issues – what baseball game you watched, your vacation plans – the more your creativity was hurt.
Next, I want to look at the diversity effects, and whether someone has more satisfaction working with diverse individuals or with individuals who are like themselves.

While on the one hand I would have immensely enjoyed being in the presence of such "pizza greats" at the TPSII, I would have at the same time felt embarrassed at my novice skills! What an impressive array of talent and pies!!Craig is an amazing teacher --- we all know that. But to be willing to open up his home to fellow forum members as he has done now twice...well that just goes beyond words. Nice job everyone!John K
John, talk about novice skills. I couldn't make a round pie to save my life! And I couldn't even blame it on the alcohol. Too much blackstone and not enough wfo for me.
Craig is an amazing teacher --- we all know that. But to be willing to open up his home to fellow forum members as he has done now twice...well that just goes beyond words. Nice job everyone!John K
I just uploaded a bunch of photos and some video from the Summit to my flickr account. Nothing has been edited yet--there are a few blurry photos and my video is somewhat shaky and sometimes was activated by accident. New phone and I'm still getting used to it. But if you want to peruse...http://www.flickr.com/photos/dhorst1/sets/72157634443041113/The first photo in the set is not from the Summit, it's actually Craig and me with some of the 37 Cooks who live in the Houston area, after dinner.I'll try to edit later tonight.Diana
Shortly after I immigrated to the United States of America in 1984, the very first T-shirt that I purchased here (on Hollywood Blvd. in Los Angeles, CA) had an imprint on it that read, "DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS". That's where I will be tomorrow! I have a feeling that it is going to be an indelible event!
Bless you Diana for taking video of the TPSII!!!And CURSE YOU for taking ONLY 1 video!!!! I love the pics but the video is something else! Maybe more will surface??John K
Diana, sheer torture and punishment for me to watch these videos and pics and not making it down there. Hope to make it next year and meet you and the others in person. Talked with Craig a bit this afternoon and promised next one I would bring homemade cured meats and capicolajon

Watch Dogs Trailer: Hacking with Friends 101
With the May 27 release date fast approaching, Ubisoft is preparing gamers for its upcoming open-world action/adventure game, Watch Dogs. A video released today gives us our best look yet at the way players will hack, drive and fight their way through a near-future version of Chicago.
Players will control Aiden Pierce, a hacker with a violent past that lead to a tragic event that took his family. Aiden's hacking skills grant him to access the resources of the CTOS, a Big Brother-like system that controls every aspect of the city and monitors its residents constantly. Hacking CTOS allows Aiden to control traffic lights, shut down communications, black out the city, or access personal information from any resident of Chicago. With over 60 hacking skills, Aiden should make for a formidable cyber-warrior.
He'll use these skills to disrupt the criminal underworld by tracking criminal activity, stopping illegal convoys, and even infiltrate criminal groups to bring them down from the inside. Of course, Aiden won't be forced to always walk the straight-and-narrow, and can choose to ignore crimes or even commit them. Actions like these will be reflected by the player' good/evil meter, which will affect the way the city sees you.
Aiden's partners are detailed here, including Clara Lille, a seductive hacker, T-Bone Grady, an anarchist pyromaniac, and Jordi Chin, a charming rogue who makes problems go away. This ragtag group will face off against criminals like Iraq, a deadly cyber-terrorist, and Dermott "Lucky" Quinn, the leader of Chicago's underworld.
Watch Dogs' multiplayer suite will feature several familiar game types, like Free-Roaming and a capture game called Decryption Combat, but will also include the ability to invade another player's game. Invading players attempt to hack the system of the host while the host tries to find their assailant and put them down before they can crack their encryption.
The mobile companion app, a real-world app for iOS and Android, will allow players to hack into their friends' games and challenge them to an interesting race mode. In this mode, players run from the cops, controlled by the app user, who can change traffic lights, raise roadblocks, and control a police helicopter.
The in-game phone apps are even more impressive, offering diversions like poker and chess, as well as gameplay challenges like Cash Run. The phone will also provide Digital Trips, apps that change the city into virtual reality experiences that change the game completely.
Watch Dogs is one of the most highly-anticipated titles of the year, and the trailer shows why. If the finished product can live up to the expectations, Ubisoft is sure to have a massive hit on its hands.

James Bovard: The Reality of Feel-Good GovernmentWritten by Jim Bovard Subject: Government
The government-supported service organization AmeriCorps got a boost from President Obama in April, when he announced a new program to "connect more professional scientists and engineers to young students who might follow in their footsteps." According to a news release, the goal is to place hundreds of AmeriCorps members in nonprofits across the country to mobilize professionals in science, technology, engineering and math "to inspire young people to excel in STEM education."
A lofty goal, to be sure, but not one AmeriCorps is likely to serve well. Judging by the program's track record over two decades—or distinct lack of a track record in several cases—taxpayers have better ways to spend some $446 million a year.
A sort of domestic Peace Corps, AmeriCorps was created in 1993 to place adult Americans in community service with nonprofit and public agencies, especially in environmental protection, health, education and public safety. President Clinton declared that AmeriCorps is "living proof" that "if we hold hands and believe we're going into the future together, we can change anything we want to change." President George W. Bush was a big supporter, too.
But the halo on AmeriCorps exists primarily because few people have examined what the corps and its members are really up to. The grandiose achievements of AmeriCorps have always been a statistical illusion, full of impressive-looking numbers of people and causes served, and yet—as the Government Accountability Office has pointed out—often missing evidence of real accomplishment.
Consider the following recent activities:
• In April, AmeriCorps recruits in Tuscumbia, Mo., released 70 blue balloons outside the county courthouse to draw attention to the plight of abused children.
• In March, Providence, R.I., AmeriCorps members at the Institute for the Study and Practice of Nonviolence hosted a hip hop/poetry competition.
• Members of a Nevada AmeriCorps program busy themselves these days by encouraging local residents to drink tap water and watch out for bears ("bear awareness").
• AmeriCorps members in Austin, Texas, hosted a trivia night in April at a local bar called Cheer Up Charlie's to whip up enthusiasm for public service.
Puppet shows that hector children about recycling are a favorite AmeriCorps pastime. Recruits to the corps also serve with Playworks—a national nonprofit that brings "safe and inclusive play to all students" in elementary schools and features "having grown-ups play alongside of children" to add "an important element of silliness and shared humanity."
In the social-service category, some AmeriCorps volunteers serve with the WithinReach program in Washington state, which says on its website that part of the service of AmeriCorps at WithinReach is to "reach out to low-income populations and help them access public benefits." Efforts include guiding Washington residents to food aid, Medicaid and subsidies for their utility bills. The Columbus, Ohio, HarvestCorps program specifically requires each AmeriCorps member to sign up at least 75 households for food stamps. Hunger Free Colorado boasts that its AmeriCorps recruits are "vital" to "increase participation" in food stamps and "to ensure [recipients] do not fall off of the programs once enrolled." AmeriCorps also bankrolls FoodCorps in locales known as "high-obesity communities" to plant school gardens and urge people to reform their diets.
In addition to serving with organizations such as Planned Parenthood and Habitat for Humanity, many AmeriCorps recruits also serve on the staffs of advocacy groups. The Presbyterian Hunger Project has eight AmeriCorps members for "supporting community-driven solutions to injustices in the food system, locally and nationally."
During the Clinton era, scandals erupted after AmeriCorps bankrolled the left-wing community-organizing group Acorn and projects that engaged in blatant political campaigning. Federal law bans using tax dollars for advocacy. In 2011, a report prepared by auditors in the office of the inspector general with oversight of AmeriCorps criticized its management for policies that "leave no meaningful recourse against a sponsor that misuses [AmeriCorps] personnel."
According to President Obama, AmeriCorps embodies "the best of our nation's history, diversity and commitment to service." But Nicole Patterson, winner of a Congressional Bronze Medal for community service, was not impressed with her AmeriCorps experience. Venting online in 2011, she wrote: "I spent six weeks playing Scrabble and kickball for America. I spent another two months sitting in a tool shed for America. We annoyed more people than we ever helped."
A 2011 audit found that AmeriCorps members in a large program run by the New York City Mayor's Office "were told to work from home with no substantial assignments."
For most of Mr. Obama's first term and until last year, AmeriCorps went unsupervised by a permanent inspector general at its oversight agency, the Corporation for National and Community Service. In June 2009, the administration fired IG Gerald Walpin after Mr. Walpin refused to back down from a report condemning a prominent Obama supporter, Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, for misusing hundreds of thousands of dollars in AmeriCorps grants for his St. HOPE Academy. Mr. Walpin also stirred hostility with a report showing that the AmeriCorps role in one of its largest programs—the Teaching Fellows program at the City University of New York—failed to produce any positive results.
AmeriCorps notes that "more than 800,000 AmeriCorps members have contributed more than 1 billion hours in service across America" since 1994. The organization currently counts some 80,000 members, who receive an annual stipend or education award or both—worth more than $15,000—and free health care.
No doubt they have done much good over the years. This spring alone, AmeriCorps members helped build levees in the flooded Midwest and lent a hand in Oklahoma after a rash of devastating tornadoes struck. It must be said, though, that such work after a natural disaster would be performed in any case.
When it comes to measuring results, however, the program has always relied on Soviet-style accounting—adding up labor inputs and proclaiming victory. The Government Accountability Office criticized AmeriCorps in 2000 for this reason and rapped the organization again in 2010 for using performance measures that "do not demonstrate results" and are "poorly aligned" with stated goals. The GAO warned that the self-reported data from grant recipients was unverified and unreliable.
The current inspector general of the Corporation for National and Community Service, Deborah Jeffrey, warned in a report in April that AmeriCorps' analyses of its wrongful payments problem routinely ignore "how grantees actually spend the funds." It is not clear how much more we will learn, though. In 2012, Congress slashed the annual budget for the inspector general's office in half, to $4 million, forcing the layoff of half of its 10 auditors and most of the eight investigators, Ms. Jeffrey says.
Politicians of both parties have routinely waved through support for AmeriCorps. Who wants to come out against a group that so easily lends itself to feel-good oratory? What's often forgotten is that when the government runs a "volunteer" organization, Washington politicians are volunteering taxpayer dollars.
Mr. Bovard is the author, most recently, of the e-book memoir "Public Policy Hooligan."

The Columbus Bar Association's Managing Partners Diversity Initiative (MPDI) recently hosted a seminar on Implicit Bias and the Legal Profession. Prof. Jerry Kang, an expert on implicit bias and the law, provided a scientific introduction to implicit biases. Kang was joined by Cheryl Staats, lead author of the Kirwan Institute's State of the Science Implicit Bias Review. They shared how a creative and comprehensive approach to understanding inclusion in the workplace can help drive genuine change.
Implicit biases are attitudes and stereotypes that we are unaware of but still affect our behavior. These subtle biases can influence hiring, social interactions, and evaluations in organizations in ways that undermine productivity, teamwork, and a basic sense of fairness. Evidence-based strategies were presented and discussed to a standing room only crowd on how to counter these effects.
"Many organizations are well-intentioned, but may not be progressing towards meaningful change in the diversity and inclusion space," said Kurt Tunnell, managing partner at Bricker & Eckler LLP and chair of the MPDI. "After a period of initial growth, these organizations lose momentum and their diversity and inclusion initiatives end up by the wayside. The Columbus Bar's MPDI has been anchored to real work and real results in the legal industry for over 13 years and is still going strong."
"The MPDI partnership consists of key organizations in the central Ohio legal community," noted Jill Snitcher McQuain, Executive Director of the Columbus Bar Association. "This group is fiercely dedicated to real change in our industry and includes 22 law firms, two law schools, three minority bar associations and two government offices."
Kang is a leading scholar on implicit bias and the law, having published more than a dozen articles on the subject in journals including the Harvard Law Review. He is widely sought after as speaker having addressed businesses and associations (ABA Board of Governors, American Bar Foundation, Association of General Counsels, Leadership Council on Legal Diversity, NAPABA, National Association of Women Lawyers, Southern California Edison, Writers' Guild of America and Walmart); law firms; judges and government organizations.
Staats' work is conducted at the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity. It is led by Executive Director Sharon L. Davies, and the Gregory H. Williams Chair in Civil Rights & Civil Liberties, Michael E. Moritz College of Law, at The Ohio State University. The Institute is known and respected nationally and deeply engaged locally.
Keynote presenter Prof. Jerry Kang of the UCLA Law School was joined by Cheryl Staats of the Kirwan Institute for an introduction to implicit bias, a series of subconscious behaviors that may persist to undermine diversity and inclusion initiatives in our workplaces despite our best efforts.
Kang and Staats flank Kurtis Tunnell, Bricker managing partner and chair of the advisory committee of the Columbus Bar Managing Partners Diversity Initiative, that sponsored the March 6 CLE.

It's thanks to Tajikistan that it's the UN International Year of Water Cooperation. Through a string of events, the world's attention is focused on the water crisis and the urgent need for humanity to tackle it through improved cooperation – between nation states, across and between sectors, industry, government and civil society.
Water Challenges for Central Asia
Tajikistan proudly hosted the two day international High Level Conference on the theme "Water for Life" this week in the capital of Dushanbe – and we were all touched by the sincerity and warmth of the Tajik people as well as by the spectacular venue and mountainous backdrop.
Tajikistan amply demonstrates some key water challenges. Despite a great wealth of water resources, less than 50% of the population have access to safe drinking water. The Central Asian states have all had to face the consequences of failed water management following the post-Soviet breakdown of cooperation between upstream and downstream states over water, food and energy. The disappearing Aral Sea is among the best known wetland stories – a tragedy of monumental proportions, with still no sign of a happy ending. I was heartened by the positive and hopeful tone in a session of stakeholders from these same states plus Afghanistan who are involved in a joint scenario development process concerning future water management, which is helping all to see the bigger picture and to find common ground. But surely, we should not wait until there is a deep crisis for such action?
Restoring Ecosystems is Fundamental to Water Security
The two-day Conference started with a reflection on the fact that water issues and risks are often highly complex and views on how best to tackle them are too often confused and/or polarised. The stakes are getting higher and hence cooperation is now an imperative! Then we all got busy with our (sectorally divided) sessions, syntheses and reports back. I pondered the principles of the Aral Sea scenario process and wondered if maybe, most people (including myself) were more interested to make sure that their key messages gained sufficient attention, than to find common ground with those from other sectors? I was quite pleased on this front: there was good recognition that reversing the trend of ecosystem decline is now a fundamental requirement for meeting future water needs – not just an "optional extra" or after-thought - and that wetlands as natural water infrastructure are a significant part of the solution.
In the opening speeches, the Prime Minister of Thailand put it nicely; following a spate of natural disasters, Thailand now considers that their number one priority is to "restore the ecological balance", as part of a comprehensive set of water management solutions and a basis for sustainable development. In sharp contrast to this, a session dedicated to "Water and Disasters" featuring eight ambassadors from countries and small island states who are suffering from increasing water scarcity, droughts and floods, saw the solution to increasing their resilience primarily in the form of development assistance for new infrastructure and technologies.
There is clearly a long way to go before agendas for water, food, climate and ecosystems are aligned. Somehow we are stuck in patterns of ingrained behaviour. Ultimately it will require a shift in mind-set at the highest level that leads to wholesale institutional reform, new water governance arrangements, innovative finance mechanisms and regulations that incentivise collective action for healthy watersheds. This alignment is an especially tough one for the UN to champion, with 32 different UN institutions holding a mandate for water!
Water Sustainable Development Goal needed
The Conference made a strong case and plea for a post-2015 Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) that calls for "water sustainability for all", with linked indicators in other SDGs. But it's not even certain that there will be a Water SDG, due to the limit on numbers and stronger voices from other sectors like health and food. The fact that water security is an essential foundation for achieving most other development goals – and that wetlands are a foundation for water – while simple and evident to all, seems conveniently overlooked.
A lot has changed since I was last in Tajikistan 21 years ago, walking in the mighty Pamir mountains just after the Soviet system collapsed. Today, in the Varzob Gorge, I talked easily in English to Manizha, a conference volunteer from those mountains, now an "international relations" student. We can keep in touch on Facebook, and she has concluded from this conference that water might be a good topic for her, since it links to almost every sector. I'm starting to feel a bit more hopeful!

My first cover shot 2007: Georgie and Sammi Jo. Actually they wouldn't sit for a picture together so two pictures of each dog were spliced together to make it look like they really love each other. They don't. Now four years later, almost everything in this picture has changed except for the sofa and chair and lamp.
When I first started blogging, another blogger friend, Melissa from The Inspired Room HERE coined the word – coveritis – to describe the affliction of constantly fluffing one's home to make it worthy of being on a magazine cover – at a moment's notice. If you suffer from coveritis you have an irrational fear of your house not always looking good enough to make it into a design book. Symptoms of coveritis include keeping your house in a state of non-clutter: all papers, mail, toys, clothes and crafts are always put away immediately - just in case a stalking photostylist stops by unannounced. Remember, this is an irrational fear. To understand coveritis - imagine it like this – your house always looks like President Obama is on his way for dinner.
Now, the opposite of coveritis is being a coveritis-wannabe. You are a coveritis wannabe if you WANT your house to be photo ready at any given time, but it's not and never will be. You never file away your bills fast enough and your children's school work is always spread out over the dining room table. Your husband takes command of the coffee table and his random magazines and catalogues are center stage instead of your carefully arranged design books. Your bed is never made before 3:00 pm and more often than not, your bathrooms are littered with wet, used towels. Usually for a coveritis wannabe, the only room ever photo ready are the never used living room. As hard as you try and despite how much you wish it was, your house is just never quite ready for that photoshoot.
Three years ago, this story appeared in Better Homes and Gardens. Again, that corner of my family room has completely changed! (Thank God!!)
I am without a doubt a total coveritis wannabe. I'm always futzing around in my house, moving furniture, accessories, and books – trying to get it to look camera ready, but it never really is. The endless catalogues accumulate, packages are opened but linger around waiting for their final home, shoes never quite make it to the closet, and stuff just grows and multiplies like the octomom's stomach. I have endured two actual photoshoots in the past few years, so I know what it means to have my house look camera ready – but, of course a professional stylist accomplished that feat for me. For both magazine stories, the stress level of whipping my house into cover-ready state was almost unbearable. In fact, I said, "never again" to another photoshoot. That was until Bonnie Broten, Regional Editor for Meredith Corporation, came to town this week and brought a film crew with her. The last few days were like college hellweek for me while the crew cheerfully took a few pictures of my kitchen for this magazine:
BHG's Specialty Magazine – Kitchen and Bath Makeovers – done on a small budget. My kitchen certainly fits that criteria! The story won't be in this magazine until Summer of 2012 – such a long wait.
Since I am a coveritis wannabe, I swore I would never again let a photographer into this house. It's just too much – too much angst, too much cleaning up, way too much insecurity, just too, too much. Coveritis sufferers live for their house to be photographed, but for someone with clutter issues, it's just not fun. This time, the pictures were taken only of my kitchen for the BHG specialty magazine – Kitchen and Bath Makeovers. Forget for a moment that I have no clue why they would even want to put my kitchen in the magazine, but why it's on the cover is truly a mystery. My kitchen is no big deal. It's got so many flaws and it's so ordinary, I am at a loss as to why they were even here. I can name a million other kitchens right off the bat that are so much better and more deserving than mine. Like this one:
Sally Wheat's kitchen has spawned dozens of copycats. I can't tell you how many people have emailed me pictures of their own "Sally Wheat" kitchen.
Like this one, which was inspired by Sally Wheat. Homeowner Sara did such a great job – read the story HERE and HERE.
This kitchen in Houston was also inspired by Sally Wheat. Surely this remodeling deserves a magazine story. Read about it HERE.
This Houston kitchen, NOT inspired by Sally Wheat (finally!), is very magazine worthy! A beauty in gray and white marble and black granite, it was designed by Julie Dodson – read the story HERE.
Remember this stunning kitchen in black and white? The homeowner designer in Deerfield, Illinois sent in her pictures. Surely this is more magazine worthy! Read the story, HERE
And then there's this. It's almost embarrassing to show, but here is my kitchen. Now, keep in mind that since I am a coveritis wannabe, my kitchen is usually not this neat. I edited it for these pictures.
Here's how it actually looked the day before the photographers arrived.
Edited picture that I took. Veddy neat, but so not reality.
And in this little corner, I certainly edited the space to take these pictures.
Here's what it looked like the day before the photoshoot.
Cleaned up for pictures.
Not so tidy in real life. Before the crew arrived, I had to move the TV, the water cooler, the boxes, the files, the baskets, the lantern, the cloches – all went into the garage.
The day before the shoot – the crew came by and we started editing even more. Ben was enlisted to move the ironstone around.
He wasn't too happy about the photoshoot to begin with, much less helping out, but almost falling off the counter was the last straw for him.
The day of the photoshoot was extremely long for me and the dogs. We are used to extreme quiet during in the day. It took three hours just to shoot one picture – the cover shot. The mess was terrible. Everything from my kitchen ended up in the family room.
Photoshoots are so high tech. The cover shot was approved via internet. Digital photography is amazing – each shot was extensively studied on the computer to ensure its perfection before going on to the next one. The talented Bill Bolin from Bill Bolin Photography HERE was super nice and helpful.
A huge surprise for me was that the art director wanted the old chairs resurrected from the garage – a mixture of both the new Kooboo chairs and the French chairs were used at the breakfast table. I wish I could show you how good the pictures looked! It was amazing how much better the experts made this small space look.
The best part were all the flowers and herbs. Sammie Jo couldn't be bothered. She's sooo cute! Stone deaf, but adorable.
You have to have thick skin when you invite a team of photostylists into your home. The head honcho directed that my baskets come down from above a bank of cabinets. Well…how DARE he??!!!! The large chicken coop basket?? was bought at Joyce Horn Antiques HERE about 15 years ago. Each year my parents gift Ben and I with a check for our anniversary and that year I took the check and bought the only thing at Joyce's that I could afford – that basket! The other basket is a small antique pet carrier which I love. After the baskets were taken down, I had to admit I liked it better without them, so into the garage they both went – I'm not putting them back out. My garage is such a wasteland.
When it was all over and my kitchen was put back together, I got to keep all the herbs. I love them – they are so fragrant.
The TV came back out from the garage (which I hate, but my family insists we have one in that room.) The herbs add a nice touch of greenery to the bakers rack. One change that I made for the photoshoot was the pillows from Restoration Hardware which were added to the wicker chairs.
But, the best item left over were the glorious peonies! Aren't they gorgeous? All in all, despite all the hard work, the photoshoot was a great experience. The photographer couldn't have been nicer and the stylist Bonnie, one of the best in the business, was very helpful – making me see my kitchen through different eyes. Since I am a die hard coveritis wannabe, a few days later the kitchen was back to looking cluttered and messy, as usual. The story won't be out until the summer of 2012! Such a long time to wait.
I would love to do a survey – are you a coveritis sufferer or a coveritis wannabe? I wonder which affliction would win???? AND, if you think you have a house or kitchen that is magazine worthy, send me the pictures and I'll forward them to Bonnie. She's always looking for new stories to pitch.
A huge thank you to Bonnie, Blaire, and Bill!!!!
I've been so fortunate to host a large amount of giveaways. The gifts have been wonderful – vendors have donated jewelry, antiques, custom paintings, hotel rooms, and even very pricey chandeliers. It's been great fun to run these contests and I've loved that so many of you have won something great. While I usually am on the giving side, I was shocked to hear that I had won a giveaway from another blogger -
And no, that's not me. Snort. That's a model from from Manito's web site.
I won this beautiful silk robe made by Manito Luxury Silk & Linen HERE. The giveaway was hosted by Brillante Interiors blog, written by Renaissance woman, Albarosa Simonetti. If you have never visited her blog, do so HERE – she writes about interior design and travel – all with an Italian beat! Thanks a million Albarosa!!!

David Hall: The 1938-S Boone had a miniscule original mintage of only 2100 coins and even though most of the original mintage was saved and never saw cirulation, it is a relatively scarce coin. The average 1938-S Boone has satiny-like surfaces and good eye appeal. It is slightly rarer than the 1938-D and not quite as rare as the 1938, especially in Superb Gem MS67 condition.

Glenn Kessler, writer of the Washington Post Factchecker column, issues a challenge to President Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney:
"With the presidential election looming in exactly six months, I would like to issue a challenge to you both: Give at least one campaign speech, on a substantive policy issue, lasting at least 15 minutes, that does not contain a single factual error or misstatement. That means no sugar-coating of your record, no exaggerated claims about your opponent's record, and no assertions that are technically true but lack crucial context."
I'm not holding my breath for the challenge to be accepted.

Lesson From Haiti: Saving Lives in Times of Disaster
We live in an era when disasters have been increasing in both frequency and impact. We saw – or maybe lived through – the impact of Superstorm Sandy and today we commemorate a deadly earthquake in Haiti.
All of this can strike fear in our hearts as we wonder what's next – and if we're in the path.
Rather than living in denial or fear, the most prudent step we can take in the U.S. and globally is to be prepared and thus save lives – not only your own, but the lives of those around you.
Maybe you feel like preparation is something that must be left to governments, city planners and others. This could not be further from the truth.
Small steps that you can take for your own household and neighborhood could have as great of an impact as any larger effort.
The interesting thing about what is termed "Disaster Risk Reduction" in the larger world of disaster relief is that it fits with the wisdom God has given us in His Word.
So how can lives be saved in the face of potential disasters?
The book of Proverbs is full of verses about God-honoring planning. While we must trust the Lord day-by-day, it is also clear that He has given us the capacity to plan ahead, while ultimately trusting in Him.
What is your plan for how you would respond to a disaster in your area? Does your family have a plan? Are you aware of the types of disasters your town or city is prone to?
Research has shown that the hardest thing for people to do when a disaster strikes is to make a decision. Assess potential disaster threats for you and your family and make decisions now about what you would do. This doesn't have to be an exercise filled with fear, but rather a good precautionary measure. For more on planning see www.ready.gov/make-a-plan.
Help the Most Vulnerable
The plan that you make doesn't need to only focus on you and your family. I lead an organization that is focused on helping the most vulnerable globally when a disaster strikes. How can you help the most vulnerable in your neighborhood if a disaster were to strike?
Recently, Daniel Aldrich, a scholar who has studied disaster recovery has noted that the most crucial element for a community's successful recovery from a disaster is human networks – that is the ties between us as community members. This is true not only in the United States, but all over the world.
In areas where there are strong relationships, where neighbors go and help the infirm, where people look out for one another – those are the areas where survival rates are the highest.
As Christians, we already knew this – didn't we? God told us to love Him and love our neighbors. That's how we are designed to live, that's how we are designed to thrive and that's how we are designed to survive even the most difficult circumstances.
So, what can you do today to plan for your family's safety if a disaster were to occur? And what can you do to build stronger relationships in your community in obedience to God's call to love your neighbor – which can actually be a life-saving act.

The Earthway 2750 Nylon Bag Seeder/Spreader is a handy piece of gear to have around. I've used mine for spreading fall rye and oats as green manure cover crops on relatively small sections, 2,500-5,000 sqf. You could probably get by with it for up to an acre or two. eventually, the walking and refilling would get a little long and a bigger solution would be…better. I haven't used it that much, but it's been around and held up well—solid for medium duty use at the price.
Specs from Earthway: "Corrosion, tear and weather resistant 20lb/9kg nylon bag hopper is equipped with a zippered top for easy filling and closure. This nylon construction allows for the bag to remain upright when filling yet collapse for easy storage. From the contoured base for fitting around your hip, the adjustable shoulder strap and a long crank handle, the 2750 is designed with comfortable operation in mind. The Exclusive Rocking Agitator provides smooth, even material feeding to the distribution plate. Our high-speed direct drive gear box allows the operator to adjust the spread width between 8'/215cm-12'/457cm by simply changing the crank rate. Complete directional control and spring to close shut-off makes the 2750 the ultimate choice in hand operated spreaders."

Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin. Water-soluble vitamins dissolve in water. After the body uses these vitamins, leftover amounts leave the body through the urine.
The body can store vitamin B12 for years in the liver.
Alternative Names
Cobalamin; Cyanocobalamin
Vitamin B12, like the other B vitamins, is important for
Food Sources
Vitamin B12 is found naturally in a wide variety of animal foods. Plant foods have no vitamin B12 unless they are fortified.
You can get the recommended amounts of vitamin B12 by eating a variety of the foods including:
- Organ meats (beef liver)
- Shellfish (clams)
- Meat, poultry, eggs,milk and other dairy foods
- Some breakfast cereals and nutritional yeasts
To find out if vitamin B12 has been added to a food product, check the nutrition fact panel on the food label.
The body absorbs animal sources of vitamin B12 much better than plant sources. Nonanimal sources of vitamin B12 vary in their amount of B12. They are not thought to be reliable sources of the vitamin.
Side Effects
A lack of vitamin B12 (
- Many people over age 50 lose the ability to absorb vitamin B12 from foods.
- People who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet should try to eat vitamin B12-fortified foods or talk to their doctor about taking B12 supplements.
- Those who have had gastrointestinal surgery, such as weight loss surgery, lose the ability to absorb vitamin B12.
- People who have digestive disorders, such as
celiac diseaseor Crohns disease, may not absorb enough vitamin B12.
Low levels of B12 can cause:
- Anemia
- Loss of balance
- Numbness or tingling in the arms and legs
- Weakness
The best way to meet your bodys vitamin B12 needs is to eat a wide variety of animal products.
Supplemental vitamin B12 can be found in the following:
- Almost all multivitamins. Vitamin B12 is better absorbed by the body when it is taken along with other B vitamins, such as niacin, riboflavin, vitamin B6, and magnesium.
- A prescription form of vitamin B12 can be given by injection or as a nasal gel.
- Vitamin B12 is also available in a form that dissolves under the tongue (sublingual).
The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for vitamins reflects how much of each vitamin most people should receive on a daily basis. The RDA for vitamins may be used as goals for each person.
How much of each vitamin you need depends on your age and gender. Other factors, such as pregnancy and illnesses, are also important. Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding need higher amounts. Ask your health care provider which amount is best for you.
Dietary Reference Intakes for vitamin B12:
Infants (adequate intake)
- 0 - 6 months: 0.4 micrograms per day (mcg/day)
- 7 - 12 months: 0.5 mcg/day
- 1 - 3 years: 0.9 mcg/day
- 4 - 8 years: 1.2 mcg/day
- 9 - 13 years: 1.8 mcg/day
Adolescents and Adults
- Males and females age 14 and older: 2.4 mcg/day
- Pregnant teens and women: 2.6 mcg/day
