Nagoya, 22 October 2010-The vital importance of inland fisheries to the diet, incomes and livelihoods of people in developing economies is brought into sharp focus in a new report launched today.
The new report, compiled by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Fish Centre, also highlights the wide ranging importance of inland fisheries in diet, and especially among children, above and beyond the supply of protein.
"Even more important in many countries (than protein) is the role of inland fisheries in supplying micronutrients, especially vitamin A, calcium, iron and zinc," says the report Blue Harvest: Inland Fisheries as an Ecosystem Service.
"Detailed studies in Bangladesh for example have shown that daily consumption of small fish contributes 40 per cent of the total daily household requirement of vitamin A and 31 per cent of calcium," adds the study whose findings were launched at the 10th Meeting of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity taking place in Nagoya, Japan.
As well as providing nutritional benefits, fish also play a key role in the functioning of aquatic ecosystems. Their consumption of plankton, plants, insects, and other fish is critical to the stability and resilience of river and lake habitats.
Fish also serve as important links between ecosystems. The nutrients and organic matter from fish eggs, carcasses and excretion help to support the production of algae, insect larvae and other fish species in rivers and lakes.
When fish populations decline, there can be serious knock-on effects for other organisms. Widespread mortality of the cisco fish from Lake Mendota in the USA, for example, led to changes in the plankton composition of the lake, decreased the level of nutrients in the water column and caused a decline in the biomass of algae.
The report warns that despite over 40 years of steady production globally, rapid environmental changes are occurring which challenge the viability of future fish stocks and a range of internationally-agreed development targets including the Millennium Development Goals.
It cites low flows, changes in seasonal flooding patterns and loss of habitat and spawning grounds linked with dams, unsustainable agriculture and over-abstraction of water.
Other impacts are coming from urbanization and road building, pollution including wastewater discharges and climate change.
Along with other factors, such as dams and over-abstraction of water, pollution is linked with a decline in Yangtze fish catches with the Chinese sturgeon and the Chinese paddlefish classed as critically endangered.
Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary and UNEP Executive Director, said: "This fascinating report has brought to the fore the often neglected subject of inland fisheries. While marine fisheries are under increasing scrutiny, those based on river and lake systems rarely engage the international community-an oversight of potentially profound implications".
"Why? Because an estimated 100 million people in Africa alone get important levels of daily protein from these inland sources alongside essential vitamins and minerals. Meanwhile unofficial estimates put the global inland catch at close to 30 million tonnes, comparable to official marine catches, and employment at 60 million people-13 million more than in equivalent marine fisheries," he added.
The report urges countries to adopt an 'ecosystem approach' to managing inland fisheries given the multiple impacts coming to bear on their health and productivity.
Such an approach needs to address a wide range of factors from curbing pollution and destructive fishing practises to sustaining river flows and restoring habitats, including protecting wetlands and other feeding and spawning grounds.
New dams should be located where they have least impact on river ecosystems, and fish-friendly designs managed to allow fish migration and delivery of seasonal flows. Where possible older dams need to be altered to provide similar benefits.
Patrick Dugan, the lead author based at the World Fish Center in Penang, Malaysia, added: "Recent achievements in the United States and the Vu Gia-Thu Ban River basin in Vietnam show that political will and careful planning can provide win-win solutions. These have kept some river corridors free from dams, while others are managed for both environmental and hydropower objectives. We need urgently to replicate these successes more widely and in larger rivers if we are to sustain the world's inland fisheries."
Some Further Highlights from the Report
The report focuses on developing country fisheries in part because inland fisheries in Europe, North America and Australia are now mainly recreational.
Nevertheless they too have important economic benefits. Latest figures show that in the United States, 35 million people or 18 per cent of the population aged 16 years or older, spent $38 billion on fishing in freshwaters-0.5 per cent of GDP.
In the European Union an estimated 25 million anglers, mainly fishing freshwaters, spend more than $8 billion a year.
Africa and Asia
The biggest harvest in Asia is coming from the Lower Mekong Basin where the estimated inland fish catch is over two million tonnes, worth up to $3.8 billion at first sale and up to $7.6 billion on retail markets.
The Mekong provides the main source of protein and micronutrients, including amino acids, for 22 million people in Cambodia and Laos. Catches of small fish, eaten whole, provide calcium from bones and iron and vitamin A from internal organs.
In Bangladesh, over 40 per cent of total fish production comes from inland fisheries and in rural areas up to 80 per cent of households fish to feed their families: it is often the sole source of income for the landless poor.
The importance of inland fisheries to household incomes in Africa is highlighted among communities in the Zambezi Basin
The rich biodiversity is linked to the complexity of rapids, pools, runs, floodplains and seasonal flooding which brings nutrients from the rainforest into the aquatic food chain.
One of the big challenges to the health and productivity is dams. The study reports that the number of large dams greater than 15 metres in height has grown globally from 5,000 in 1949 to over 50,000 by 2006.
Meanwhile, there are now also an estimated 800,000 smaller dams world-wide.
In only 12 per cent of large European rivers is waterflow unaffected by dams, while in Asia; Africa and Latin America the corresponding figures are 37 per cent, 38 per cent and over 50 per cent respectively.
The impact on fisheries is highlighted in the report with the case of the Pak Mun dam, built on a tributary of the Mekong River in Thailand in the early 1990s.
The Mun river, above the dam, experienced a 60 per cent to 80 per cent fall in fish catches-a loss of around $1.4 million a year.
It had been hoped that the new reservoir would produce 220kg/hectare of fish but this only reached 10kg/hectare.
Since 2001, a seasonal flooding policy involving opening the dam gates, has been adopted which has assisted in bringing back close to 130 species to the Mun river and reducing the impact of the dam on fisheries.
Overfishing is also becoming a challenge in some inland fisheries with smaller and smaller fish being caught.
The report cites the Tonle Sap fishery of Cambodia and several floodplain fisheries in Africa including the Oueme in Benin and on the Niger in Mali.

By RUSSELL G. OAKESONFerron
Dear Editor,
I am responding in regard to your article, Economic Summit Part IV. Could the comment by Mr. Truman in his involvement with trying to bring a Saturn car factory to Emery County, a plant that would employ 20,000 employees for our county, "have destroyed" what Emery County is all about?
Tell me, Mr. Truman, why did you move from here? Was it educational reasons? Employment advancement? Thirty years ago, when I moved to Emery County, I believe there were a few people who were not very excited about the smokestacks or the power plants, that are already here. I am not going to bad mouth small businesses, they do play a big part in our economic development; however, those stacks brought a lot of good people to the county and once the construction was done a whole lot of good people moved from our county seeking employment. I am one of those very few fortunate folks to earn good wages and to live in Emery County from having smokestacks. I don't believe, however, I could stay here and live off what small business pays their employees. We need more smokestacks, because it would bring more business and certainly more people. It would spread out across our small communities, it would bring many good but also some bad consequences, we already have crime and drug problems. But I strongly believe more of our young people could come back and lead a good life here. Look at what tourism has done to other small rural areas of Utah. In my opinion, it has brought a lot of people, most of whom were temporary, and a lot of minimum wage jobs. In my opinion, it would be very nice to have access to hospitals, colleges, even some of the elements of business that are available in Price or Cedar City, right here in Emery County. We as Emery County citizens need to change our attitudes about growth. Please stop thinking about the bad sides of growth and think of all the good it could bring. We need to tap all of our human resources and reach for our potential by building more smokestacks. Smokestacks are the building blocks that will ensure the survival of our county and our communities.
My opinion on this whole subject is that the plants will not be here forever, and everyone cannot be ranchers or small business people. I would sure hate to see our communities end up in a future ghost town book.

Lost in translation
June 20 2008 10:45AM
By now you've probably read that K-Lowe has 22 trade offers sitting in his inbox as we head into the draft. Good thing we aren't paying by the trade like on E-Trade, huh Nation? HUH? HUH?
*dead silence as joke bombs*
Anyhoo, we thought we'd also go through a few of Lowe's quotes in the media from last night and translate them from "GM-Speak" into "English" so we can all understand where the big man's head is at going into the draft:
Translating Posturing
Lowe said: "We were happy with Joni and we're happy to have him back. If (a deal) is going to benefit our hockey club, I'm willing to listen, but if I was a betting man I'd say Joni is going to be back with us this year."
Translation: "Hey Joni, if you don't sign for a reasonable amount of money, you're gone. In fact, I'm looking to move you. As GM, I would take the bet that Joni is going to be back on Rexall ice this year, but he could be wearing a different jersey."
Lowe said: "I'm not going to completely sell the farm for next year, I'm not going to be too bold in moving players out till the season gets going."
Translation: "If you think you can float through the off-season, Raffi, and think you're getting away with that 'season' you were having before you got injured, you're wrong. Prepare to be traded, son. If not now, then soon."
Lowe said: "I'm not sitting here thinking we're a favourite for the Stanley Cup next year, we still have to get into the playoffs, but I'm not quite as (eager to make a trade) as I was last year. We're feeling good where we are."
Translation: "We are a favorite to win the Stanley Cup, but I don't want to jinx it by telling you the media and lower the betting odds for a Cup win. Instead I have just returned from Vegas where I have placed a $500,000 wager on the Oilers to bring home the Cup."
One other thing
We think that gambling in pro sports, especially if you're in pro sports, is not a good idea. However, we think that it should be perfectly legal for players/coaches/management to bet on themselves. Obviously any player worth his salt should believe in himself and his team, so why not allow them to bet?
How awesome would it be to hear some player in the playoffs who is facing elimination say, "I can assure you that we are going to win tonight. Not only do I stake my personal reputation as a player on it, but I have placed a $100,000 bet on us tonight to make it extra sweet when I score the winning goal in OT."
That's gangster.
June 20 2008, 11:02AM
Here's another Lowe quote for you, as heard on Sportsnet this morning:
Lowe: I won't be as horny as I was at last year's draft.
Translation: I'm going to blow my wad again like I did last year on a TierII player who could have been available at #30. It's Stamkos or bust baby. Viagra away!
They should force players who are in game 7 to bet on themselves to motivate their overpaid asses.
You forgot one;
Lowe:"I don't like sitting around,I got here on Tuesday and started making some calls to get a sense of what everybody is doing."
Translation:"For the life of me I can't find the phone number for Ashley Dupre, can anyone help me out?"
Decent burn rick. It's a breath of fresh air to bring political scandal up in here.
Wanye translating Rick
Ashley Dupre (def) the call girl that brought down Eliot Spitzer, former governor of New York.
Do you think that Lowe has created a situation (via the RFA offer sheets last summer) that will make other teams hesitant to deal with the Oilers? They have been surprisingly quiet (here and at the trade deadline) and one has to wonder if they are having difficulty finding a dance partner
No. Lowe won't be making any trades with Brian Burke or Darcy Regier any time soon, but GMs around the league are going to make deals if the deal makes sense. Lowe was far from quiet at the draft. He didn't get anything done, but he was pitching, as were several others. Don't forget, there's probably 20 proposals for every trade that ever gets done. What Lowe is having difficulty finding is a team that has what he wants for what he's got to offer. Nothing more, nothing less.
I wonder if it's possible that the Oilers pick someone up through free agency. I know maybe it doesnt make sense, because of the roster size, but mayeb thats become the best alternative. If you can pick someone up, like a second line guy for a decent price, maybe that is the best move for the team. Surely it wouldn't take much for someone like Ryder to come here, mayeb you could pick up someone like Straka, Federov, Stillman, etc. It doesn't really concern me too much if its an older player, as it wouldn't be for a permanent stay here, but just for a year or two while the sophmores get adjusted to the game. It's easy for the kids to motivate themselves when you are coming down an amazing strech drive, with so much energy around you, but when you start at the beginning of the year, it may seem like the games don't mean as much. I think often players have trouble with self motivation in their second year, because the excitement of playing in the NHL has worn off a little bit, and becomes more accepted in their minds. If you've got to go through free agency to get someone who can act as a support played and lighten the load, then do it. Make whatever roster moves you have to do after you get who you want.

Massachusetts Higher Education Commissioner Richard Freeland is upping the ante in his standoff with Westfield State University over questionable spending by the school's president. Freeland's office announced Friday evening that he is suspending some of the university's funding.
An audit found that Westfield State's Evan Dobelle spent excessively over the course of his presidency on travel using university credit cards.
Dobelle has paid back some of the money, but state officials recently pressed Westfield's board to take action, and pressed Dobelle to explain his spending. Dobelle asked for more time to get his response ready.
On Friday evening, Freeland said no, and then he halted nearly $200,000 in state funding. He will also recommend the state suspend $2 million more for a planned science center on Westfield's campus.
In a statement, Freeland's office hints at a way out of this problem for the university. He will work with Westfield's board to find an "appropriate resolution" that would allow the release of the money.
In a statement, Dobelle's private spokesperson calls Freeland's note "bizarre." The spokesperson says Freeland is trying to "blackmail" the board by threatening to victimize students and faculty.

Wednesday at midnight, the Massachusetts gas tax is set to go up three cents a gallon and cigarettes will be an extra dollar per pack. That money will help fund a transportation bill lawmakers passed earlier this month. For many franchises, it's the corporate office that calculates new prices. Jackie Dotman is the manager of the Whately Truck Stop. She says the tax isn't too different from weekly price fluctuations.
"We just upload them into our computer and then we go out and we just change the prices to the proper price."
Dotman says more than 100 trucks fill their tanks at the stop each day. Because of long-standing accounts many of those customers have, she doesn't expect to lose much business because of the gas tax hike. But, she says cigarettes are another story.
"My drivers are from all over so they're already coming in from North Carolina and New Hampshire. So they won't be purchasing many cigarettes in Massachusetts at all."
At an F.L. Roberts in Greenfield, manager Lauren Eldrid says her store's cheapest pack of cigarettes is going to be over seven dollars. She says some people will quit. And others…
"I see us selling more e-cigarettes — people are switching to that."
Those e-cigarettes, according to a Department of Revenue spokesperson will not be affected by the new taxes.

When you are designing a driveway made of pavers, asphalt, or concrete and you want it heated, WarmlyYours has the snow melting solution for you. We all know how disappointing it is to watch the snow fall every winter, knowing that it's only a matter of time before we have to bundle up and head outside to shovel the walkways and salt the stairs. Instead, imagine relaxing by the fireplace in the comfort of your home on a snowy winter day. With WarmlyYours snow melting systems, you can do just that.
When you install a snow melting system from WarmlyYours, you'll enjoy not having to shovel your driveway all winter. Since the asphalt, concrete or paver surface, absorbs the heat from the snow-melting heating element underneath, the snow and ice melt without an effort from you. Our systems are available with four different control machines, each with different specifications to sense things like air temperature or moisture on the pavement. We're sure you'll love your heated driveway, and our cable mat and heating mat systems come with a ten year warranty, so you can be comfortable knowing they'll stand the test of time.
WarmlyYours mat-heating systems are designed to deliver 50 watts of heat per square foot and are designed for quick and easy installation. We also offer our customers the option to install a cable system that allows for maximum flexibility—cable systems generate 12 watts per linear foot. Whichever you choose, you can install the systems underneath asphalt, concrete, or in mortar under pavers, so you can have the driveway you've always dreamed of no matter what look you're going for. For more information about WarmlyYours heating mats and cable systems for outdoors, contact us today.
Find Local Installers
Both Mats and Cable utilize energy efficient twin-conductor heating cable
Prevent accumulation of snow or shoveling after overnight snowfalls
No pipes, boilers, tubing, tanks, or noisy pumps to install
10-year warranty covers defects in workmanship and materials
Choose from Premium, Economy, Manual or Value Control options
cULus or CSA Listed
24/7 installation support and lifetime technical support
Same day shipping nationwide, no restocking fees, flexible return policy
Buried in blacktop driveway to provide clear path from house to garage. Works perfectly!
Great product. It is easy to install and works great. The customer service as awesome and delivery was faster than ordering from a local dept store. I will buy more when the cabin is ready for flooring.
As a DIY, I really appreciated the snow melting cable because it is so heavily jacketted I had no trouble with damage, testing the cable before and after proved that it withstood whatever it had to during installation. I love that it has a built-in return connection; meaning the cable doesn't have to make the "run" back to the relay panel - this made the install so much easier.

I have a 1 1/4" gas line that comes into the house. From that I need to supply gas to 4 things: clothes dryer, water heater, combination stove/oven, and a 2.5 ton central heat/air furnace. On the end of the 1 1/4" main line there is a fitting to split the line into two 3/4" lines. One of the 3/4" lines I want to run to supply the water heater and dryer. I would put another fitting on the end of the 3/4" line to split that into two 1/2" lines for both of those appliances.
The other 3/4" line will go to supply the stove and furnace. I wanted to put a fitting on the end of that line to have a 3/4" supply going to the stove and 1/2" going to the furnace. I'm wondering if a 3/4" line is enough to supply the stove and furnace? Also wondering if the other 3/4" line is enough to supply the water heater and dryer.

Use a different search engine for your online genealogy research. Google is quite popular, but other search engines may provide different results. Try Yahoo! Search (http://search.yahoo.com/), Bing (http://www.bing.com/), Ask.com (http://www.ask.com/), Dogpile (http://www.dogpile.com/), and even Clusty (http://clusty.com/). Pick an unusual surname and search it in different engines. Make note of the top 10 page returns for each. If you're a genealogy blogger, share your observations on this experience.
This is a subject I have been sharing with people for years! As a private investigator I use different search engines for different reasons. What folks need to keep in mind is that each search engine is designed with a different focus by the developer. The same goes for databases I use in my business. You need to play and explore to see what search engine will get you what.
Ah the thrill of the internet search, so many ways to locate information. Don't forget to run searches on blog sites, Facebook, and other social sites to locate information. I recently searched my investigator databases to locate a subject - I had no luck. I turned to Facebook located him and positively identified him through pictures posted with his parents names! Social networks have become a place to share your genealogy.
I also recommend calendaring searches on websites every few months. Information changes daily on the web, don't get left behind by only searching a website once and calling it a day. A search for a surname may yield no results today but may supply a hit in December. You can set up Google alert to search subjects at intervals and have the results sent to your mail.
A comparison of the results showed that two of the search engines produced blog results, the other three did not. One produced a higher amount of hits outside the United States. One search engine brought up newspaper reports from California. All of the search engines produced links that related to genealogy.
Thank you Amy Coffin for another challenge.

It was a banner day in many regard for the Harrisburg High School boys' track and field team Monday in Herrin.
Senior football signee Isaac Ingram broke the Harrisburg High School record in the shot put with a toss of 56'5.5'' and DJ Duncan set a new meet record in the 110 high hurdles, finishing in a time of 14.5.
In all, Harrisburg took nine of 19 events, besting the field of 10 teams with a combined score of 154. Sparta took second with 133 and the host team, Herrin finished third with 60 points.
Along with his record setting event in the 110's, Duncan also took first place in the 300 intermediate hurdles (39.6) and won the 200 meter dash with a time of 22.9.
Snjolfur Bjornsson won the triple jump with a leap of 43'3.5" and was part of the 4x100 and 4x200 that also won first place.
The 4x100, comprised of Duncan, Bjornsson, Dylan Yates and Dustin Lane finished in a time of 44.6, while the 4x200 team of Corbin Crim, Preston Boone, Yates and Bjornsson finished in a time of 1:33.6.
The freshman 4x200 group of Aaron Stephens, Bailey Drone, Brandon Duffield and Lane finished in a time of 1:37.6
Rounding out the first place finishes was Luke Horton, taking the 800 meters with a time of 2:07.
Crim finished second in both the 100 and 200 meters, while the 4x800 and the 4x400 relays all had second place finishes.
"It was a great day for our boys," said Harrisburg head coach Zac Smith. "They competed hard and I'm really happy for them. Obviously with Isaac breaking the school record is something special."

Love them but...
"I love these shoes the fit is great they are comfy...wore them all day the first day I had them. The problem is the zipper on the heel. It is a little noisy which I think I could get accustomed to but the zipper works itself down as I am walking. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas?"

Sassy Cissy Wedge
"I ordered this shoe in "coral" and it's the perfect color that's very versatile enough to compliment many colors, navy, red, orange, turquoise etc. Easy to walk in and overall comfy. The heel height is a little lower than I normally wear but the arch support is good. Big selling features for me; leather upper and the back zipper closure. The leather is very soft so the straps don't dig into my feet. One note about the back zippers, the pulls make a clacking noise when walking...clack clack clack. So if you're in a situation that calls for being quiet, that can be a challenge. All in all a nice sandal."

The last few weeks have been pretty gloomy if you have been following the Indian Economy. There has been a potential downgrade of rating, lower GDPfigures, lower industrial output, inflation seems to be up, interest rates are up, fuel prices are going up. And that is just the stuff we get to see – stuff that is out in the public space. Underlying all this is what is popularly called policy paralysis. If it was paralysis it would be better because atleast then some level of status quo would be maintained. This was more policy yo-yo – confusion in terms of economic direction, chaos in terms of goals, too many people working at cross purposes, too much grandstanding , too much ego and too much double guessing, too much dogma and too few conversations between opposing factions.
To top it all, as though behaviour like this can be topped, there is absolute non communication on any aspect of the economy by the person who is most likely to have an impact on a jittery market, a stressed out business class, and a nervous foreign investor – the Prime Minister. While various ministers have assured you that 'all is well' with the economy – it is a bit difficult, if not impossible to take them seriously. There were these slew of gloom and doom stories – the Economist, WSJ, Reuteurs and the rest all ran stories that asked some very critical questions, and rightly so, on the India growth story.For all intents and purposes this became the general perception about the economy
This spending binge is not only misallocating resources, but also crowding-out private-sector credit. Over the coming year, the government will borrow around $110 billion to fund its revenue shortfall; it plans to front load most of the borrowing in the first six months. Since Indian banks are required to hold government notes, the success of the bond sale is guaranteed.
The Congress-led coalition government, with Brezhnev-grade complacency, insists things will bounce back. But India's slowdown is due mainly to problems at home and has been looming for a while. The state is borrowing too much, crowding out private firms and keeping inflation high. It has not passed a big reform for years. Graft, confusion and red tape have infuriated domestic businesses and harmed investment. A high-handed view of foreign investors has made a big current-account deficit harder to finance, and the rupee has plunged.
Lack of Business confidence (the S&P report, page 2)
Local business confidence in India has deteriorated for various reasons, including perceptions of "policy paralysis" within the central government. India was able to boost public and private investment in infrastructure in recent years, sustaining high GDP growth of around 8%-9% during the three years leading up to the recent global slowdown (in 2008). However, a perceived slowdown in government decision-making, failure to implement
have all been blamed for the crisis. Unlike the west where the Government and various agencies speak in one voice to reassure the market and investors at large, India has been true to form and has had everyone and their idiot cousin postulate on what is 'wrong' with the economy. That is everyone except those who should.
And suddenly that has changed. The last week or so there have been a set of articles and interviews by leading industry & business heads who are leading the fight back on behalf of India. While there is a lot that needs to be fixed in the economy it isn't flatlining. The doomsayers may find support in those who oppose the government tooth and nail because it suits them to highlight what a terrible government this is (and it is). But, for a lot of us who have to run businesses, enterprises, attract investments, pay salaries, meet tax demands, a downward spiral based on a 'tom tom' drum effect is scary. It is not political brownie points to be scored, it is a matter of our own survival.
By no stretch of imagination are these people saying 'problem, what problem?' but they are far more measured in their view of the problems and possible solutions. After all, business leaders don't want a loss in confidence in the economy either. Last week Aditya Puri of HDFC started the 'let's build back the confidence in India' ball rolling. He said
If you sort out the issues on power, you don't have to import iron ore, you sort out some of the issues on food, you sort out the issues on pricing of petrol…I strongly believe that India's structural story is still intact.
Kochar and Kamat of ICICI, said something very similar
The issue is not being critical of the Government or wonder about the economy. The problem arises when that is the dominant narrative. Kaushik Basu, the government's chief economic advisor in today's ToI
There is reason to believe that India today is caught in a pessimism spiral. When this happens — and this is well-known in psychology — we tend to filter information, picking up the bad news and overlooking the good. If we resist this propensity and do some serious structural analysis it will be seen that, while some missteps did occur and there is room for self-criticism, there is also reason to believe that the Indian economy has, over the last few years, deve-loped deep strengths which it did not have ever before. Hence, as far as medium to long-term prospects for the Indian economy go, we have reason to be upbeat
I am somewhat upbeat. The prospect of a new finance minister or the PM taking over the finance function, makes me hopeful of a lot of the plans my company wants to get operational . It has been a virtual standstill for the last one year in terms of people having the confidence to invest in new areas. It is different when you run a business, you are responsible for jobs and salaries and an economy with some measure of confidence is always better for a small business than an economy on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
Finally, by no stretch of imagination is India out of the woods. There needs to be well stated intent, clarity of purpose and decisive action. Forget elections, you can't let down 1.2 billion people and their aspirations. IF the road to reform, and the road to recovery are not set upon immediately – we are heading towards chaos and turmoil – not just economic but political and social.

Linux Vendors Rush to Patch Privilege Escalation Flaw After Root Exploits Emerge
Linux vendors are rushing to patch a privilege escalation vulnerability in the Linux kernel that can be exploited by local attackers to gain root access on the system.
The vulnerability, which is identified as CVE-2012-0056, was discovered by Jüri Aedla and is caused by a failure of the Linux kernel to properly restrict access to the "/proc/
Linus Torvalds submitted a patch on the official Linux kernel repository on Jan. 17, but before Linux vendors had a chance to apply it for their distributions, proof-of-concept exploit code already appeared online.

Jolla inks exclusive license to kick-start its Android alternative in China
Mobile OS maker Jolla, whose Sailfish platform remains one of the few smartphone alternatives in play these days, has signed an exclusive license to a Chinese consortium to develop a Sailfish-based OS for the country. Jolla says the Chinese consortium will be aiming to invest $250M in developing a Sailfish ecosystem for the country, though it's not specifying exactly is backing the consortia at this point, nor over what timeframe the investment will happen — beyond saying one of its early investors, a local private equity investor Shan Li, will take a "leading role" in building it up. "There are very big players behind it," Jolla chairman Antti Saarnio tells TechCrunch, speaking ahead of a press conference held to announce the news here at the Mobile World Congress tradeshow in Barcelona.

Every day our citizens make thousands of contracts for goods, services, or other reasons. Each party to the contract is expected to abide by it. However, there is one contract that seriously affects every citizen and very few pay attention to it.
It is the U.S. Constitution, a contract between our citizens and the federal government. The president, vice-president, all members of congress, supreme court justices, cabinet secretaries, and others take an oath to abide by it-but few if any do.
We are creating a police-state type government by allowing the many violations of this contract. The Patriot Act is a good example. It trades some of our freedoms for a false sense of security.
Permitting our servant-the federal government-to restrict any of our constitutionally protected rights implies that we accept it as our master. Governments are happy to assume that role. Ours certainly is, and it will continue to do so until enough citizens pay attention and demand that the constitution be strictly adhered to.

In junior high or high school voting always seemed to be a popularity contest. You had the hot chick or the jock running for class president even though in most cases they were more interested in winning, rather than actually doing anything. I'm sure there were some who ran, and won, who really wanted to make a difference and improve the cafeteria food, or change the dress code. Today, I'm sure the Pres. argues for the right to update your facebook status in math class, or to wear belly shirts or other serious matters.
The scary part is that some of you probably voted in junior high, but you don't vote now. I don't care who you won't for to be honest, and I have no interest in trying to influence your vote, but if the country was to put a sports slant on voting I bet many of you would get to the polls before they close.
No political party is going to make all the right decisions, because the voters will always have differing viewpoints on many issues. Some want better health care, others want to improve education, some want the federal government to fund arenas, some want to make "Hippie Whiskey" legal or you might want the death penalty. I truly don't care what you stand for, as long as you feel the need to stand up and be heard.
Today we have the HONOUR, yes it is an honour, not a privilege, to vote. Ask people in Syria, Egypt or Libya if they'd love the chance to have a say. Some of them were willing to sacrifice bodily harm, or even death, in order to try and gain the right to vote.
To get you in the spirit of voting I came up with a few topics that might garner your interest.
To get you in the spirit of voting and not be worried about being questioned on who you vote for, the comment section will only be for your response. If you question or rip someone for their answer your post will be deleted. Today you only vote for what you like without fear of people questioning who you like or dislike.
- Should the NHL get rid of the Instigator rule or keep it in?
Yes.... No
- How many times can the CBC camera pan to Carrie Underwood before it gets awkward?
Once a period....After goals...Every commercial break....NEVER
- Who is the hottest female on TSN?
Kate Beiness....Jennifer Hedger....Sara Orlesky....Natasha Staniszewski....OTHER
- Who is the hottest male on TSN?*****
Ryan Rishaug....James Duthie....Jay Onrait....Gino Reda....OTHER
- Who will be the next Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup? Why?
- Did you vote yet?
Yes, I love my country....No, I'm lazy and think it doesn't matter
Keep in mind I did say that no one will be allowed to rip others for their votes, but if you voted No for question six, I will admit in advance I'm disappointed in you. It is easy to say that none of the parties have your interests at heart, but then vote for the BEST of a bad bunch. The only way you will ever see change is if you do something about it.
Go vote, and remember once you vote then you can bitch and complain about your party or any other one. That is the best part about voting, it gives you the right to demand change.
*****I believe in equal representation and that is why I asked who is the hottest male on TSN. By no means are those four answers meant to sway you in your thinking, or lead you to believe that I think they are the four hottest guys at TSN or better looking than the other guys.***

3) Jennifer Hedger, she's just great
4) Jay Onrait, what a beauty.
5) Edmonton. Because I am a homer and I know jealousy is ugly but if the cup comes back to Canada, I won't be happy unless it's Edmonton that wins it. Lord help us if Vancouver wins...

... back to my avatar for solace.
1) Change the rule. Put in place a 3 punch max. Any more than three connecting punches without your opponent putting up a fight and you're suspended.
3) I PVR the games, and forward through anything that isn't a hockey game. In other words: There are females on TSN?!?!?!?

6. Today? We have to vote again? Just kidding!
Fun times here at FN! I gotta say: 1. Not even sure the point of instigator rule and don't think it is called consistently. Bye! 2. Every Comm Break, Underwood is a hottie! 3. Natasha Staniszewski (mmm...exotic and sexy!) 4. Ahh, don't really care which male is hot! 5. Calgary will bounce back in 2011-12, finish around 6th and suprise their way to the cup. Lots of fire alarms will be pulled in opposting team hotels (LOL). 6. Yes I voted, but that was first time in many years.
1. Let the bashers bash. 2. When Fisher trips or gets checked 3. All of the above 4. None of the above 5. Calgary 6. Voting in Alberta is akin to spitting into the wind. So, no.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
At the recent range school held in Moab, one of the topics was the health of the animals and rangeland monitoring. One of the most effective tools for monitoring is the use of a camera said Floyd Reed, retired forest service range officer. He encouraged all school attendees to carry a camera. Pictures recording the beginning of the grazing season, conditions after grazing and the end of the season should all be recorded. Pictures are an accurate representation of the condition of the land. Photos are valuable to back up the permittees case should grazing come under fire.
Harley Metz, BLM ecologist said the use of maps kept from year to year is also valuable. These maps should include precipitation conditions, the time and length of grazing and other indicators. These maps can become a valuable record of conditions from year to year on the rangeland.
Another suggestion for monitoring was the utilization cage, they give more accurate information on the total production of the land and result in a better assessment of how much foliage was removed by grazing animals. It is usually best to move the cages at the end of the growing season, do not leave cages in place for more than one year, because the build-up of plant material begins to effect moisture retention inside the cage, and you can end up with overinflated production estimates.
Monitoring the rangeland is essential to determine if you are meeting your goals and objectives. Monitor to evaluate the past grazing season and plan for the next. Monitor to identify long term trends. Select key areas to monitor that are representative of the pasture as a whole in terms of soils, vegetation, slope, aspect, distance to water, etc; as it is impossible to monitor every acre. Set aside time to compile and interpret the information and plan for the upcoming growing season. Metz also recommended documenting the elk and their activity upon the allotment and any impacts to the land from recreationalists should all be part of the monitoring process.
Robby Baird LeValley from Colorado State University Extension, livestock specialist, spoke to the ranchers about animal health and nutrition. She said cattle need to be healthy to absorb the minerals from what they eat. During the drought the cows had a difficult time meeting their nutrient requirements, but they were able to pick a diet that was higher in nutrients than what was out there due to mixing. Palatability, rate of passage, digestibility, nutrient density and balance, and intake are all factors determining the degree to which the forage is able to meet the nutritional demands of the animal. Grazing management decisions can alter availability of nutrients from a rangeland situation. Grazing systems may reduce or improve forage nutritive value. Forbs are generally more nutritious than shrubs in terms of protein and phosphorus. As a plant matures the protein in the plant decreases as does the digestibility. "It pays to put interest in a plant to develop more root volume, grazing accomplishes this; a plant left ungrazed has skinnier leaves and less root growth. In exclosures where grazing hasn't been allowed for long periods of time, the plants shrink up. Plants with larger root mass are more drought resistant," said LeValley.
"Nutrition is potentially the most critical factor affecting reproduction. In most management systems, it also represents the most common limiting factor. Nutrition plays a significant role in the immune system. Nutrition plays a role in the absorption of minerals," said LeValley.
LeValley recommended cutting cows that have bad habits such as bottom dwellers and sending them to Wendy's where they can't teach the rest of the herd bad habits.
During a drought, forage quality also declines because livestock selectively graze the highest quality forage first. The amount of total energy over the landscape decreases. A prolonged drought decreases plants energy stores and results in fewer tillers and less root mass. Drought also results in shorter growing periods. Plant species on poor rangeland are less digestible than plant species on good condition range which can reduce total forage intake by livestock. The animals either can't or won't eat enough. The amount of root mass is directly related to the carbohydrates stored in the stored roots and the above ground volume is determined by the carbohydrates stored in the leaves and stems. The amount of root mass is determined by the time and timing of grazing.
Animals respond to decreased nutrition in various ways, but when nutrition is limited, reproduction is the first to go. Smaller calf weights, lower conception rates and delayed rebreeding are all factors in lowered nutrition. Lower levels of forage production equals lowered milk production as well. Good, clean water for livestock is also a factor in their growth. Calves gained on the average of 25 pounds drinking clean water versus calves drinking pond water.
Daily intake is dependent on the interaction of quality and quanity, the nutritional status of the cows is primarily affected by two major factors; forage quantity and forage quality. The microorganism in the rumen that must unlock (digest) the energy in the forage to make it available to the ruminant. To digest forage, the microorganisms require nitrogen, which is primarily found in protein. Protein is in the form of leaves. As the vigor of the range improves, the quality of the range improves due to increased leaf production and thus the consumption by the animal increases. The animal balances its protein and energy needs by having a wide variety of forages available for consumption.
Plants contain their greatest nutrient value before maturity. Plants in a vegetative state generally contain 10 percent crude protein. Diets from dormant range contain between 4 and 7 percent crude protein with higher concentrations occurring in late summer and early fall. Range nutrition makes an impact on the animals, cows in better condition and have adequate energy are better able to eat foods high in toxins. The same was shown in the copper study, animals who had adequate protein and energy utilized the available copper better.
LeValley mentioned that some of the ranchers she works with did not show decreases in conception rates during the drought due to better animal health and nutrition. LeValley talked about the cows and their choices of food and how they are determined. Factors include: mother knows best, peer pressure, individual trial and error and inherited characteristics. LeValley concluded her remarks by saying, "Real life experience is considered legitimate research and range management is a lot of art mixed with science."
On Jan. 27, the Helper police department alerted the Emery County Sheriff's Office that they needed assistance in apprehending a couple who had taken their daughter out of foster care in Helper and then returned to Orangeville. George Zamatakis, Helper police chief, requested the assistance of Det. Greg Funk from the Emery County Drug Task Force.
The couple had been followed from Helper to Orangeville and police set-up surveillance on the Orangeville home where the runaway daugher and another daughter with a $15,000 warrant out of Carbon County were being harbored.
The man left the residence and was followed to Ferron by Det. Sgt. Robert Blackburn and Det. Funk while the Carbon Metro Drug Task Force continued watching the house. The vehicle returned to Orangeville and the girls were not in the vehicle. Officers approached the residence and Chief Zamatakis recognized the male, the officers were let in the residence and the three females tried to escape out the backdoor. Everyone was rounded up and gathered in the living room where Crystal Lint was arrested for the warrant out of Carbon County and the juvenile was transported to the detention center in Price.
In the process of putting Lint into the police car, Sgt. Gayle Jensen noticed and recovered a meth pipe in her possession. Sgt. Jensen alerted Sgt. Tom Harrison to the fact and it was determined there was probable cause to request a search warrant. Police asked the male subject if they could search the house and he consented to a search. The search yielded two ounces of methamphetamine, several items of drug paraphernalia, scales, large amounts of cash and other items to facilitate the sale of methampetamine. Street value of the meth was estimated at $5,000.
The subjects, Ricky Lamond Cloward and Leisa Ann Cloward were arrested for possession with intent to distribute in a drug free zone and taken to the Emery County jail. Possible charges against the couple are pending in Carbon County for taking their child from foster care. Lint will also appear in court in Emery County for the charge of possession of drug paraphernalia.
Charges against the couple are first degree felonies which could pack a sentence of five years to life, maximum. Sgt. Harrison mentioned the subjects were very cooperative during the arrest and they appreciated that.
Emery County Sheriff Lamar Guymon said, "It was through the cooperation of the various agencies that made these arrests possible and prevented this meth from getting onto the streets." The Carbon Metro Drug Task Force has been investigating these subjects for some time.

"easy listening"
The book and the narrator did a good job. It is a young readers book but it was a good escape for me to listen to on my way to and from work. The series is comfortable and I will listen to one in between heavier listening books.
Estate planning lawyer and mom to two boys. My older son liked audiobooks as an infant, and I've listened to a lot since then.
"One of the Better Ranger's Apprentice books"
The Ranger's Apprentice series, both the story and narration, are among my favorites of the books I have listened to with my children. And this is one of our favorites in the series.
The reunion of the main characters.
All of the scenes with Halt are wonderful. He is a funny character and his relationships with the younger characters are perfect.
I'm always looking for books that are suitable to listen to with my 11 year old son (and sometimes his older brother) that I can tolerate or even enjoy. This series is just amazing in that regard. I have enjoyed the storyline, the characters, and the narrator as much as my son. For both of us, these books are our favorites to put on. I'll be sad when the series is over.
A Book Addict who found she could clean house and get her book fix with audio books.
"Great Youth Read"
John Flannagan puts together a wonderful world of adventure with characters you care about and challenges that require unique strengths. Similar to Harry Potter only in that you get to watch the heros and heroines grow from children into adults to be proud of. I reccommend it for anyone.
This is cool !!! No no no no no no no no no no no no no on lol lo
"Look forward to sharing this series with my teens!"
Great series that teaches the values of honor, responsibility, team work, and standing up for those in need.
"Amazing book with a great story line."
Loved it the excitement and danger the battles is great and very descriptive. Two thumbs up.

"Those girls were so funny, and I worship them," Julie Bowen declares.
The bash: The Fox Post-Show celebration
The venue: The Fox Pavilion, aka a dolled-up garage roof next to the Beverly Hilton
The stars: Claire Danes, Damian Lewis, Jane Lynch, Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, Matt LeBlanc, Jessica Lange, Zooey Deschanel, Max Greenfield, Sofia Vergara, Sarah Hyland, Morena Baccarin, Navid Negahban, Hitchock director Sacha Gervasi
Scene and heard: At the party, stars drank infused lemonades and Champagne and vodka cocktails, and dined on Greek curry rock shrimp couscous, white truffle mac and cheese, glazed short ribs, roasted chicken with savory cabbage and chanterelles, toasted faro with butternut squash and soba noodles with kimchi. Desserts were equally tasty, with passionfruit meringues, cheesecake with sea salt and caramel, apple streusel and sticky date pudding.
As far as this crowd was concerned, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler rocked their hosting duties at the Globes. "I loved, loved them," Bowen said on her way to Modern Family's table on the open-air deck of the bash. "After two years of Ricky Gervais — I mean, Ricky makes you nervous because you never know who is next to fall under his sharp-tongued hatchet. But those girls were so funny and I worship them. And they proved that you can be drop-dead gorgeous and completely funny, and one day I want to be just like them." Bowen's favorite moment from the show? "I have to say, I don't know if they were involved with the Kristen Wiig/Will Ferrell bit about not knowing any of the movies, but that killed me. They never backed down. It was very funny."
'Homeland' reunion: Nearby, Homeland's Globe winner Lewis was hanging out with the celebrating crew, including Danes, as Jay-Z and Beyonce tunes filled the tented rooftop. He said his night had been full of "so many cool encounters," particularly meeting Jodie Foster, whose speech he called "raw and life-affirming." Meanwhile, Lewis had some intel on how Fey and Poehler's now-infamous James Cameron joke went over in the ballroom: "It got a huge laugh."
We ran into Negahban, who dished on what's next after his recent exit from Homeland as terrorist Abu Nazir. "Right now, I'm on CSI: New York," the actor said. How's he coping with Abu Nazir's departure? "What was important for me was how he goes. He makes his point." He was also a big fan of Fey and Poehler as hosts: "Those girls were awesome. My favorite joke was the Kathryn Bigelow (and James Cameron) joke. I was like, 'Oh my.' "

deicide end of the chrysalis age 表紙は愛染の抜け殻
The cover is Aizen's shell.
After the slash Urahara asks what they should do.
Isshin says that he can't read Aizen's reiatsu at all.
The thing they fought was so strong, and it's as if it had disappeared.
"The only strength I can feel is in the location he is standing," he says.
Aizen emerges from the dust and tells him it was a good attack. His face is cracked.
"It understood that attack, and understood my own strength," he adds, grasping his sword.
There's a loud noise and Ichigo turns. Behind him is Gin, saying, "Is it good?"
もう戦士でも死神でも虚でも人でもない中途半端な状態であの三人が負ける相手に君が勝てるか? と問う。
He asks, "Neither soldier nor shinigimi nor hollow, nor human, but instead a midway state. Those 3 have lost, do you think you can win?"
何も答えられない苺にさらに、逃げ、もう興味ないし、愛染もがっかりする。理解できてるんやろ?今の愛染隊 長の力が。と続ける。
Ichigo has no response. "Run away. You're no longer of interest. Even Aizen is disappointed. Can you understand the the power Captain Aizen currently possesses?"
それでも何も答えない苺に警告は今のでお終いや、まだ逃げへんのやったら今ここで斬るわと刀を 抜く。
He ends his warning there. "If you're still not going to run away then I'll cut you down here." He pulls out his sword.
Then Aizen appears. Ichigo looks to where the battle was before and sees the three that have fallen.
Aizen asks Gin what he'll do now? "Nothing, just have a test of strength."
"Is that so?" Aizen answers as he makes a signal which opens the Senkaimon. Aizen intends to invade the Karakura in SS.
It's not necessary to destroy the pillars. If he's going to take down the Royal Palace then it's more convenient to create the royal key in SS.
待てといおうとした苺だが、そこで愛染が脱皮。どうやら蛹籃の時は終わったようだといい振り向くとロン毛で 目が虚化した時の状態の愛染。
Ichigo tells them to wait, but then Aizen sheds his skin. He says his chrysalis state has ended. Aizen has long hair and hollow-like eyes.
君はここへ置いていく。君を喰らうのは全てが終わった後でいいと謎の言葉を残し門をくぐり消え る愛染。
"I'll leave you here. I've finished devouring everything of you." And with that cryptic message he passes through the door and disappears.
なんだよ・・・何が・・・と呆然とする苺に親父がフラフラながらも立ち上がり名前を叫ぶ。何をボサっとして る、センカイ門を開けと親父。
"What...the...hell? What was that?" A dazed Isshin stands up and staggers toward Ichigo, calling his name. He whispers something and the Senkaimon opens.
Ichigo snaps out of it as Isshin grabs his shoulder. "Let's go. We're going to protect Karakura Town." Until next chapter.

Obama says that as commander in chief he doesn't like to rule things out, but he doesn't foresee a scenario in which American boots on the ground would be good for the U.S. or good for Syria. (May 3) AP
The president's comments came Friday during his visit to Costa Rica.
President Obama said on Friday he does not foresee a situation in which deploying U.S. troops to Syria would be helpful.
"As a general rule, I don't rule things out as commander in chief, because circumstances change," Obama told reporters during his visit to Costa Rica on Friday. "Having said that I do not foresee a scenario in which boots on the ground in Syria — American boots on the ground in Syria — would be good for America but would also be good for Syria."
Obama's comments come a little more than a week after the White House said it is very likely that Syrian President Bashar Assad had used chemical weapons against his people. The president had previously set use or transfer of chemical weapons by Assad as a "red line" that would elicit an unspecified response from the Obama administration.
Obama, however, has cautioned that more proof is needed before the United States escalates its involvement in Syria.
The two-year conflict in Syria has left more than 70,000 dead, according to U.N. estimates. While the U.S. has provided tens of millions of dollars in humanitarian aid to rebel groups, the Obama administration has thus far resisted arming the resistance.
"In terms of any additional steps we take, it's going to be based number one on the facts on the ground, number two what's in the interest of the American people and our national security," Obama said. "As president of the United States, I am going to make those decisions based on the best evidence and after careful consultation. Because when we rush into things, when we leap before we look, then not only do we pay a price, but we often also see unintended consequences on the ground. It's important for us to do it right and that's exactly what we're doing right now."
Late Friday, U.S. officials told the Associated Press that Israel launched an airstrike into Syria. The airstrike, first reported by CNN, came hours before Obama's news conference in Costa Rica.
It did not appear that a chemical weapons site was targeted, and one official said the strike appeared to have hit a warehouse.
Israeli officials confirmed the airstrike on Syria hours later, according to AP, saying it targeted a shipment of advanced missiles.
"Israel is determined to prevent the transfer of chemical weapons or other game-changing weaponry by the Syrian regime to terrorists, specially to Hezbollah in Lebanon," Israeli Embassy spokesman Aaron Sagui said in an e-mail to the AP late Friday.

The Dutchess Recipe
- Yield:makes 1 cocktail
- Active time: 10 minutes
- Total time:10 minutes
This recipe appears in:Cocktail Trend: More Than A Dash of Bitters
This cocktail from Theo Lieberman of Lantern's Keep and Milk & Honey in NYC has a heavy pour of Angostura bitters in it, but that doesn't make it bitter. The spice is balanced with bright fruit and earthy almond from housemade orgeat. "It smells like a roasted banana milkshake, which kind of blows my mind," says Lieberman of the easy-drinking cocktail, "but there's a lot of booze in it." Genever adds a grainy, malty texture, making a rich cocktail that doesn't need an egg for body.
You can purchase orgeat, but homemade is better than many of the available brands. Here's the Serious Eats recipe. If you want to buy it, try Small Hand Foods.
Fresh pineapple juice is essential here. If you don't have a juice extractor, you can muddle cubes of fresh ripe pineapple and strain the juice, or try to squeeze the juice using a clamp-style hand juicer. Don't use canned fruit or juice.
- Ice
- 1 1/2 ounces genever
- 1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 ounce freshly squeezed pineapple juice, strained
- 3/4 ounce orgeat
- 1/2 ounce Angostura bitters
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, add genever, lemon juice, pineapple juice, orgeat, and Angostura. Shake well until very cold. Strain into 6-ounce glass and serve immediately.

We know designers are often trying to push boundaries, but when we discovered House of Holland's latest denim creation, involving rings of cut pile aqua-colored wool, we just had to comment on what possible inspiration could have taken hold when this Shearling Wool and Denim skirt was created. Is it so wrong that it's right? This wacky denim skirt, also a part of a consistently wacky collection, including bright fuzzy earrings, seemed to be inspired by the cute, soft and plush Monster Bowling set created by toy brand Melissa & Doug. Tell us if you don't see the resemblance!
You can check out the rest of the collection online at the House of Holland sale section.

There is also the image that the sport puts out to the world at large. They don't want another Tara or Oksana - kids who win it all before they're old enough to drive and then disappear because of injuries or burn out. It gives the sport a bad image. I remember people saying "That's not a WOMAN! She's a child" and many others who said they would never put their child in figure skating because they put too much pressure on children. Then there's the issue of hormones to supress puberty, eating disorders, and injuries which meant that by age 20, Tara couldn't run and had to walk her leg of the Olympic torch relay. All reflect very badly on the sport and make it appear that skating eats young girls and spits them out at the end with a poor education and no marketable skills, if they haven't become a champion (see Nicole Bobek).

The saddest part is that you see the Parents from Mars in all areas... My son plays soccer and those parents are crazy... screaming at coaches, their kids, the refs, other people's kids... its simply insane. I had a mom stop speaking to me because my son "stole their spot" at center mid. I had another mom yell at me because her kid fouled my kid. I doubt, however, she will make that mistake again... I have no patience. And the football, basketball, and baseball parents are even worse.
I don't have problem with the age limitations because I understand the spirit in which they've been designed. Sometimes you have to protect folks from themselves but at the same time, abusive, crazy parents are going to behave that way regardless of the level their child is competing at... and sometimes when that child is technically old enough to fend for themselves, the adults around them give bad advice for selfish reasons... just look at Rachel Flatt at worlds.
