Stocks and currencies in emerging markets led an Asian rally yesterday following a surprise decision by the US Federal Reserve to keep its massive stimulus program intact.
The announcement to hold off winding down its US$85 billion a month bond-buying fueled a buying spree on Wall Street, sending the Dow Jones and the S&P 500 to record highs.
Asia took up the baton yesterday, with under-pressure developing economies breathing a sigh of relief after suffering a heavy sell-off last month as investors bet on the Fed tightening its monetary policy.
Jakarta surged 4.64 percent, Manila jumped 3.08 percent, Mumbai climbed 2.73 percent and Bangkok rose 3.25 percent.
In Tokyo, the Nikkei rose 1.80 percent, or 260.82 points, to close at 14,766.18.
Sydney rallied 1.10 percent, or 57.4 points, to finish at a new five-year high of 5,295.5, while Wellington added 1.05 percent, or 49.21 points, to close at 4,753.03.
In the afternoon, Hong Kong jumped 1.63 percent. Taipei, Seoul and Shanghai were closed for public holidays.
In an eagerly awaited announcement, the Fed said it would keep the stimulus in place as it wanted to further gauge the economic impact of public spending cuts and a spike in interest rates in the past four months.
Instead it cut its growth forecast for this year and next as US Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke warned of possibly "very serious consequences" from a brewing political battle in Washington over a new budget and the US debt ceiling.
"The Federal Reserve's policy is to do whatever we can to keep the economy on course and so if these actions led the economy to slow, then we would have to take that into account, surely," he told reporters.
He said the bank could still start reducing the bond-buying — which aims to hold down long-term interest rates — in the next three months, but only if the economic outlook improves.
"There is no fixed calendar," Bernanke said.
Most economists had expected the Fed to begin tapering its spending — with forecasts of a reduction of US$5 billion to US$15 billion — after weeks of upbeat data that suggested the US economy was at last gaining strength.
However, Matthew Sherwood, head of investment market research at Perpetual in Sydney, said: "It is a pretty patchy recovery and it is a sign that the US is not ready for a reduced stimulus."
With the prospect of vast sums of cash continuing to be pumped into financial markets, the US dollar sank in New York to ¥98.13 from ¥99.20 in Tokyo earlier in the day, while the euro jumped to US$1.3511 from US$1.3353.
Later yesterday, the US dollar picked up slightly against the yen, buying ¥98.39, but the euro rose to US$1.3528. The European single currency also fetched ¥133.10 against ¥132.55.
However, the main beneficiaries of the news were emerging economies, which have suffered a torrid few months on expectations the Fed would begin cutting down its bond-buying.
India's rupee was at 61.73 to the US dollar, well up from the record levels above 69.00 seen at the start of the month, while the greenback also fetched 30.96 Thai baht, compared with 32.45 baht a few weeks ago.
The US dollar fell to 1,070 South Korean won, against the 1,150 won level touched over the summer. It also slipped to 11,092 Indonesian rupiah from 11,290 rupiah, although the greenback is still sitting at about four-year highs.
The Fed decision "may foster expectations that capital outflows from [emerging markets] can stop or even reverse," Barclays Capital said in a note, Dow Jones Newswires reported.
"This should be particularly supportive for the currencies and rates markets of countries with higher current account deficits," such as India and Indonesia, the note said.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) - A Missouri environmental group is asking the federal government to more closely scrutinize Ameren Corp.'s request for a 20-year license renewal at the state's only nuclear power plant.
The Missouri Coalition for the Environment on Tuesday filed a legal objection to the utility's plan with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The coalition wants the federal agency to hold a formal public hearing on Ameren's license renewal application, a move that would likely delay consideration of the request. Ameren's current 40-year operating license for the Callaway County plant expires in 2024.
The application and protest are not related to Ameren's recently announced plans to team up with Westinghouse Electric Co.to build five smaller, "modular" nuclear reactors. The companies are seeking more than $450 million in federal support for that project.
"Our longstanding concern, in regards to the Callaway nuclear reactor, has been one of public safety and the protection of our environment," said Ed Smith, the environmental group's safe energy director. The group held a Wednesday press briefing on its NRC filing.
Diane Curran, a Washington, D.C. attorney for the coalition, said the license renewal requires further scrutiny after a March 2011 earthquake and tsunami that crippled Japan's Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant. The tsunami sent three of the plant's reactors into meltdown in the world's worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl in 1986.
The nuclear agency has given Ameren and other U.S. nuclear reactor operators a deadline of February 2013 to submit updated seismic studies and complete another safety plan sought in the immediate aftermath of the Japanese disaster, with a December 2016 deadline to put those improvements in place.
Agency officials said at a March public hearing in Fulton that they expected to make a decision on Ameren's relicensing request by the end of 2013, though that timeframe didn't account for a public hearing. Curran said the license renewal shouldn't happen until Ameren provides the government those requested plans. The St. Louis-based utility submitted its license renewal application for the nuclear plant late last year.
"The decision on a license renewal should be delayed until all of this information is in," she said.
Ameren spokeswoman Rita Holmes-Bobo said Wednesday the company welcomes public comments about its plans and "is confident that the NRC will evaluate all public input thoroughly." The utility's Missouri manager for nuclear development previously said the Callaway relicensing request isn't necessarily contingent on enhanced safety rules post-Fukushima.
The environmental group's legal filing also criticizes Ameren for what it says is the company's "inadequate discussion" of wind energy as an alternative to continued use of nuclear power in its required environmental reviews for the renewal request.

Does anyone know were I can buy a recone kit?
Does anyone know were I can buy a recone kit?
4 12" yzen level 4 with a 2.5" dual vc 4ohm and 1 interfire 12 dual 4ohm
and what does ng stand for? do they have a website?
you can check em out yzen audio website. they handle a 1000 watts
their actually built in oklahoma city like digital design. american built. so theirs no way to make a frankenstein out of these?
I'd contact them then...
Personally, I enjoy being intimate with motors...
As well as EhRon's mother.
She's a VERY nice lady.
I concur.
Well I read though the thread and have a general idea how to recone, so the shims go inside the coil before you drop it in the motor? Are they there so when the glue sets up on the spider the coil stays straight? Just trying to get a strategy for when I go to recone my tc9 based eclipse since the coil is a good tint of black.
Any idea how much crap will be in the gap since the coil has been rubbing for 4 years? Also how do you get that crap out, just pieces of masking tape folded over with some exposed sticky?
Does CA glue = super glue?
Yes the 'shimms' go inside the gap between the pole piece (metal part of the motor) and the voice coil. This assures that the gap is correctly aligned so that you don't have any rubbing.
Also, after 4 years of rubbing you are going to have a lot of gunk inside the gap. You might try either canned air or an air compressor to 'blow' out the gap first. Then use masking tape to finish cleaning the gap. If the gap is really deep try attaching the tape to a note card or some other rigid thin object. Just make sure it isn't metal.
CA glues does not equal super glue (if you are thinking the stuff sold at Wally's World in the small metal tubes that burns your eyes and melts things). I have had decent luck with Goop and a few other products. But, if you can get a CA glue made for loudspeakers use it. I'm sure some other people on here know where to get it. IIRC Parts Express might sell it.
Your mother. ;)

Robbie Erlin pitched into the eighth inning and Jedd Gyorko homered and drove in both of the game's runs in a 2-0 Padres win over the NL West-champion Los Angeles Dodgers.
Erlin (3-3) allowed four hits and walk over 7 2/3 innings while striking out seven in his first career appearance against the Dodgers.
"He can get the ball in on the hands of the righties and the lefties," said San Diego manager Bud Black about Erlin. "He looked really good out there and we're going to keep working on him through the winter."
The Padres, who had just five hits, won for the fifth time in six games.
Edinson Volquez (9-12) surrendered both runs on five hits over 6 1/3 innings. He's winless over his last six appearances.
"I used to be here and I know where the ball travels," said Volquez. "I was just trying to keep my pitches down and keep the ball in the grass when they did hit it."
The Dodgers, who won the division with a victory Thursday at Arizona, got three hits from Skip Schumaker.
Chris Denorfia reached base on Dee Gordon's throwing error in the first inning. Denorfia stole third and scored on Gyorko's groundout. The throw home from first baseman Drew Butera was a tad late.
Gyorko homered to center field in the fifth.
The Dodgers put together a threat in the ninth against Huston Street, who earned his 32nd save. Schumaker doubled and pinch-hitter Adrian Gonzalez singled to put runners at the corners with one out. Pinch-hitter Yasiel Puig struck out, and pinch-hitter Matt Kemp also fanned to end the game.
Game Notes
Gyorko became the fifth second basemen ever to hit 20 or more home runs in his rookie campaign, joining Dan Uggla (27 in 2006, FLA), Joe Gordon (24 in 1938, NYY), Danny Espinosa (21 in 2011 for WAS) and Alexei Ramirez (21 in 2008, CWS) ... The Dodgers had won five in a row versus the Padres and lead the season series 9-8 ... The teams combined to go 1-for-22 with men in scoring position.

Bristol Palin was so drunk on wine coolers the night she first slept with boyfriend Levi Johnston that she couldn't recall losing her virginity at the tender age of 15 — and he was nowhere to be found the hazy morning after to refresh her memory.I'm reading that as an accusation of rape. She was too drunk to consent or perhaps even passed out?
"Levi wasn't even there to help me process — or even confirm my greatly feared suspicions," she writes in a new revenge tome disguised as a memoir. "Instead of waking up in his arms, I awakened in a cold tent alone."
(The age of consent in Alaska, by the way, is 16, but I am not referring simply to statutory rape.)

What was possibly the largest oak tree in Anderson County was downed during Monday night's storm.
The tree fell beside the home of Renita and Danny Crouch on Highway 62.
Tuesday morning, Renita Crouch's aunt, Helen Bowman, was at the home and recounted hearing about the historic tree succumbing to the storm.
"Renita said Danny looked out the door and said, 'Oh, no, there goes the big oak tree.' " Bowman said. "She called me this morning and said the big oak tree was gone. Renita really thought a lot of that tree."

Comedian Todd Barry Eschews Tomatoes, Eggs, and Mayo, But Not 33-Cent Cookies
On Late Night With Conan O'Brien recently, Conan called comedian Todd Barry "the quintessential New Yorker." That doesn't mean he's at Balthazar every morning. "Every time I talk about Chipotle in conversation," he told Conan's audience, "Someone goes, 'Oh, Chipotle is delicious. Can you believe they were started by McDonald's?' 'Uh, McDonald's is delicious, so yes, I can believe that. It's not like Ben and Jerry's opened up a lingerie shop. It's the world's greatest restaurant chain taking a stab at another kind of food and hitting it out of the park.'" Other than that, Barry eats at Café Orlin about five times a week. Since it was closed for renovations this week, he had to practice his tomato, mayo, and orange-juice pulp aversions elsewhere.

Beale Street developer John Elkington will mark his departure from the development and management of the entertainment district this week, ahead of what looks to be a formal exit at the end of the month.
Beale Update Letter
And Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. has told Memphis City Council members that starting New Year's Day, he wants the Downtown Memphis Commission to oversee the street on an interim basis with help from a team of city division directors, as he and the council work on "a more permanent management and development model for the street."
A bankruptcy court approval of the long-awaited and long-delayed settlement of Elkington's Performa Entertainment case is expected to become official at the end of the year. The 2010 bankruptcy filing was part of Elkington's exit plan from the district negotiated with the city.
"We will be coordinating and leading the city's efforts, but we will call on city division directors for support and help," said Paul Morris, president of the Downtown Memphis Commission. "I'll report to the mayor. It's not like the DMC is the ultimate authority over there. It's the city. … The revenue for the street will pay all the expenses. We are not intending for any money from the city to be required to do anything."
Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. wants the Downtown Memphis Commission to oversee Beale Street on an interim basis.
(Daily News File/Lance Murphey)
Earlier this year, Wharton had talked of a team of division directors overseeing the street in the transition. Elkington and some City Council members have also said permanent oversight by a body structured like the Downtown Memphis Commission is a possibility beyond the interim period of management.
Neither Morris nor Wharton put a specific timeframe on how long the interim period might last.
"We want it to be as short as possible, while giving the city elected leaders sufficient time to settle on a longer-term solution," Morris said. "I think it's in the best interest of everyone for it to be a shorter time rather than a longer time."
Elkington became developer and manager of the district in the late 1970s, as renovations began on what was then considered urban renewal property. He has been the developer of the district since before its opening in October 1983.
That means there is another transition underway to the interim period, with Morris getting a crash course in the day-to-day life and needs of the district.
"Beale Street should not be taken for granted. It's going to require a lot of effort and resources. It's not a small project," Morris said. "There's just a host of things that have to happen to keep that street well-operated. The events that go on, on Beale Street – those are productions, and somebody has to coordinate them. Things just don't happen spontaneously."

I am looking for a gyuto-hiki 250mm-270mm Any steel and preferably wa handled, but western handled ones will be considered. I would like to keep it around $250 but can go a bit higher for something awesome. Yoshikane hammered 270mm sujis are also a possibility for this price range.
I will also consider 270mm sujihikis of any variety, preferably carbon or semi stainless wa-handled Trying to keep this under $200 since I don't need to use sujihikis very often.
Thanks for looking. Lets see what you got.

Input to be limited at UEP meeting to allow more people to speak
August 13, 2013
If you plan on speaking at the special meeting to be held Wednesday, Aug. 21, on the Southwest 6 & 7 utilities expansion project, you should be prepared to be brief and to the point....
As in congress or other democratic assemblies where time limits are set give up the 3 minutes to the designated speaker to approach the podium first.
!5 speakers can sign up to take up the 45 minutes if needed.

It is not a question of whether we want UEP or not... It isn't a choice it is a mandate handed down from the State.

I plan on definately being at the meeting and making a speech. The council members are elected BY the people and paid with our taxes. We live in a democracy where the people are to have a voice. Should they not be LISTENING to the people they are SUPPOSE to represent?? When council chambers are FULL of people NOT agreeing with their decisions and they STILL vote AGAINST the peoples wishes.....then that issue should be placed on the voting ballots in area 6 & 7 in November. Even RENTERS will be affected. Landlords will pass this expense on. This HUGE financial inpact affects peoples LIVES and the businesses in these areas. If in fact the majority of property owners in 6 & 7 want the Water & Sewer, then I can live with the majority. BUT we won't know this without a 6&7 vote. How many of the members of City Council are going to be affected financially by this decision?? I guess I need to do some research when Council is looking to take away my expendable income.

CONNERSVILLE, Ind. (AP) — An Indiana police officer and his wife who nursed an injured baby deer back to health plan to fight state charges stemming from their rescue efforts
Jeff Counceller, a police officer in the eastern Indiana city of Connersville, found the deer in 2010 curled up on a front porch with maggot-infested puncture wounds. He and his wife, Jennifer, kept the deer in an enclosure on their 17-acre farm and named her Dani, The Indianapolis Star reports (http://indy.st/XP6JIL ).
Indiana's Department of Natural Resources told the Councellers to return the ailing deer to the wild, but they took it home and nursed it back to health. The couple were charged earlier this month with illegal possession of a white-tailed deer, a misdemeanor that carries up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine.
Jeff Counceller said returning it to the wild at the time "would have been a death sentence." The family told the Star they intended to return the deer to the wild once it was strong enough to survive on its own.
The Councellers tried to find a home for the deer at animal rescue operations, petting zoos and deer farms, but no one would take her. They say they didn't know it was illegal to keep the deer.
The deer vanished last summer on the day when the DNR planned to euthanize the animal after the couple's request for a rescue permit was denied.
Although lawyer's fees would be more expensive than laying the fine for the offense, the Councellers said they plan to fight the charge.
"Sometimes, it's not always about the DNR laws," Jennifer Counceller told the Star. "Sometimes it's about common sense and what's right in God's eyes. And that's what I'm going to stand for."

All activities planned for boys should have plenty of boy appeal. Boys enjoy doing things and like to have fun in the process. Interest activities create a great deal of enthusiasm among boys and are one of the primary avenues for learning new skills.
On-Mission Activities
On-mission activities are at the very heart of Royal Ambassadors. These activities are designed to help expand the RAs knowledge and to help them give expression to their Christian commitment. Their service through on-mission activities extends their witness and ministry beyond themselves to bring all people to Christ and glorify God.
To achieve its purpose, a missions activity must have a purpose and be well-planned. Involve the chapter members in planning the project, and incorporate their ideas into the plans. These activities can be directed toward the following nine mission fields. The ages at which RAs are capable of grasping the impact of the activities is included in parentheses.
Individual: Personal; One-on-One; Someone who needs Christ and His discipleship; Beginning with me and my neighbor. (All ages)
Family: Those in my immediate care, living in the same household, who are related by blood or experiences of growing up together. (All ages)
Church: The Body of Christ and the People of God with whom I worship and grow; Those who support me and are supported; Includes the visitors to be welcomed and invited to become a disciple, beginning with the person sitting next to me in the pew or the classroom. (All ages)
School: Individuals I relate to within a school setting; from support persons to executive staff; Beginning with the person in the desk, office, or locker next to mine. (All ages)
Community: Individuals and families that live in proximity to me; beginning with my next door neighbor and beyond. (All ages)
Association: A collection of communities within a geographic or cultural identity; beginning in my own association and beyond. (Page 4, Squire 5, Knight 6)
State: A collection of associations within a state boundary; beginning with my own state and beyond. (Page 4, Squire 5, Knight 6)
Country: A collection of states within a specified boundary; beginning with my own country and beyond. (Squire 5, Knight 6)
World: The beyond; the uttermost parts; the remote; the unfamiliar; reached and unreached people groups. (Knight 6)

Just as their Green River Festival runs through the heart of summer, Signature Sounds' Jim Olsen, artist manager Carol Young and Elmer's Store owner Nan Parati are looking to stake a claim on winter once again with their second annual WinklePicker, occurring at various venues in Ashfield Feb. 15-17.
"Italy has Carnivale, Brazil has the same… New Orleans has Mardi Gras, and Ashfield has WinklePicker," declares Parati. "[Our event] is tied to the hardest part of the year—when the novelty of winter has worn off, warmth is still half a globe-turn away, and you'd like something to do besides plow snow and rake roofs."
A New Orleans-inspired amalgam of audio and edibles, the 2013 installment of WinklePicker features performances by Steve Riley & The Mamou Playboys, Valley-based singer/songwriter Eilen Jewell, The Primate Fiasco, Charles Neville and more, amidst a series of cooking workshops, gospel brunches and even a kids' Mardi Gras Ball.
For complete festival details and advance ticketing options, kindly point your browser to WinklePickerfest.com.
For those who can't wait that long for a taste of N'Orleans, it appears you don't have to. On Sunday, Feb. 10, the Northampton Arts Council (northamptonartscouncil.org) gets the jump on the Fat Tuesday festivities with Mardival, a one-day event taking place at Noho's Academy of Music.
Leading the sonic offerings for this shindig is none other than Allman Brothers percussionist Jaimoe and his Jassz Band—who, event organizers say, will be joined by special guests Duke Robillard and Samirah Evans throughout the evening. Paul Lieberman 's new Samba SA also promises to lend a touch of Brazil to the proceedings, while The Expandable Brass Band is certain to quench the thirst of those feeling horny.
Tix are $18 at the door, discounted to $15 for those who purchase in advance (or possibly in exchange for making you all suffer through that bad joke).
In other news, Motown-mimics Souled Out recently issued the following update to the masses regarding the gaping gap in their 2013 live performance schedule.
"[We] are going on hiatus for a while, totally revamping the show, changing things around a bit and going for a new concept," the band reports. "It's going to take a while, but as soon as we're up and running, we will let you all know!"
For those who can't wai-iiit a minute longer for updates, feel free to hit up the band's cyber home at souledoutgroup.com regularly.
Another bit of housekeeping news: Connecticut's Mohegan Sun reports that they will not have to give everyone's greenbacks back for the Green Day show that was supposed to take place in their Arena Jan. 10. The casino concert team was able to lock in a reschedule date of April 6 (not all affected venues on the proposed tour were so lucky!).
According to the Green Day camp, the reason for the calendar shift stems from singer Billie Joe Armstrong 's recent treatment for substance abuse. Tickets purchased for the original date will be honored.
Last but not least, it's time to fawn over one of the Valley's most beloved—and enduring—bands, The Fawns, as well as the Rub Wrongways record label they call home. Both the band and the biz celebrate a decade of decibel-delivering this Saturday, Jan. 12, at the Iron Horse (iheg.com).
Considering that Valley boy Henning Ohlenbusch is in the band and is the founder of said label, he would seem to be the man of the evening. But since Rub Wrongways has put out more than two dozen discs in its 10-year tenure, he certainly has a lot of friends, too—many of whom, including The Salvation Army String Band, The Aloha Steamtrain, Sitting Next To Brian, School for the Dead and more—are also slated to lend sonic support to the Jan. 12 celebration. Tix are $8 in advance and $10 at the door for this 10 p.m. show.•

An 'open secret': Catholic sexual abuse in the Black communityBy Ashahed M. Muhammad -Assistant Editor- | Last updated: Feb 5, 2014 - 10:50:40 AM
What's your opinion on this article?
David Nolan is 46-years-old. His harrowing tales of abuse began at 13 years of age as Father Victor Stewart, now deceased, used his authority and power to have sex with dozens of young boys at will, and seemingly without any fear of being punished.
The Nolan tragedy provides almost a case study into how pedophile priests victimized the Black community.
In files released as part of a settlement in a sexual abuse case, the Chicago Catholic Archdiocese was clearly aware of many allegations of sexual abuse involving Fr. Stewart. Documents show victims reported Fr. Stewart and other priests were "part of a club that participated in pedophilia."
Mr. Nolan said the church shuffled priests from parish to parish to protect its image, not children and families in the church. Church leaders knew all along abuse charges were true, he said. "I've continued to be abused over the years not only by the Chicago Archdiocese, but by our legal system. It destroyed my marriage because I didn't have no recourse, I didn't know how to deal with it, it destroyed my relationships with family, so now to hear that these documents are being released I'm saddened.
Fr. Stewart was considered a godfather to the many young boys with no role models or mentors. As a religious figure in a crime-ridden Englewood neighborhood, he was placed on a pedestal. Many of the young men from impoverished backgrounds enjoyed receiving gifts Fr. Stewart showered them with, new clothes, gym shoes and video games. Those gifts came with a price—inappropriate touching, sex, and a vow of secrecy.
From time to time, young boys would actually live at the rectory, and according to legal files and testimonies, the sexual abuse was an open secret. Not all of the victims were young teenagers. Some reported abuse beginning at age 16 or 17 and continuing until ages 20 or 21.
Mr. Nolan even tried to tell the Chicago police about the abuse. He said he was called a liar and ridiculed.
At several churches where Fr. Stewart served, there were multiple allegations of sexual abuse. There was a report of sexual abuse when Fr. Stewart was at St. Catherine of Genoa parish and the survivor was in high school. According to the archdiocese report: "The abuse consisted of oral sex on the survivor and occurred about once per month in high school."
Fr. Stewart reportedly sexually abused minors from 1981-1986 while serving at St. Charles Lwanga parish. The parish council of St. Ailbe's church, where he served in the early 1990s, was "upset because they see boys coming and going from the rectory at all hours," documents show. The two parishes consisted of majority Black congregations and all three are on the city's South Side.
He was also accused of embezzling funds, money victims say was used to coerce and control them.
In October 1991, a memo in his file noted the latest sexual abuse "accusations against him are well-founded and that someone is pushing for boys to come forward." Yet a January 1992 letter from the Sex Crimes Division chief of the Cook County attorney's office announced the unit had ended its investigation, and there would be no charges.
After leaving that church, Fr. Stewart served at Mercy Rehab Center. An April 1992 memo suggested that he not be alone with teenagers who worked at the center without another adult present. A June 1992 memo added, "Stewart will have to get therapy and be under monitoring for a long time."
In a Jan. 21 statement, the Archdiocese of Chicago said their awareness and understanding of the problem of sexual abuse within the church represents a new reality and abuse of any child is a sin. They asked victims of priest sexual abuse to continue to come forward.
"Today no priest with even one substantiated allegation of sexual abuse of a minor serves in ministry in the Archdiocese of Chicago," the statement continued. "The Archdiocese acknowledges that its leaders made some decisions decades ago that are now difficult to justify."
Those decisions have also cost the Catholic Church millions of dollars in America and abroad in civil suits won by abuse victims.
Allegations of racial discrimination
In November 2009, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago delivered a report to The Final Call complied by the law firm Pugh, Jones, Johnson and Quant dealing with charges of racial discrimination in the abuse settlement process. Many Black victims of priest sexual abuse believe their cases were not treated with the importance of cases brought by wealthier White congregants. According to the report, there was no evidence of racial discrimination during the review or settlement process, however, the charge persists.
To critics, it is disingenuous to hear Cardinal George say he was unaware of sexual abuse claims. Reports alleging sexual abuse have been sent to The Vatican since the 1950s. Although he was not the leader of the Catholic Archdiocese when many of these abuses occurred, the problem of Catholic priest sexual abuse is well-known.
The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP) holds regular protests and wants current and former Chicago Catholic church staff and members to help protect children by identifying pedophile priests, making sure their histories are known. In some cases, offending priests—though removed from public clerical duties—are living among unsuspecting neighbors, they said.
Some of these clerics would be behind bars, SNAP said, if not for three factors. First, in many cases, Catholic officials shielded them from law enforcement for years. Second, church officials have long lobbied against reforming what SNAP called "archaic and predator-friendly secular child safety laws." And third, when credible abuse allegations surface, church officials are slow to conduct effective outreach to identify other victims or witnesses, said the advocacy group.
"SNAP fears that many who were abused by Stewart are still suffering in silence, shame and self-blame, in part because of the severity of his crimes. Stewart also worked primarily in African-American communities where, more families tend to struggle with economic need and tend to distrust authorities, especially law enforcement," according to a recent statement on SNAP's website.
The scandals appear to be taking a toll. The Chicago church had paid $77 million for sexual abuse settlements as of 2008, according to the Catholic News Agency. At least six Chicago area Catholic schools are closing by the end of this school year due to declining enrollment. The number of Blacks identifying themselves as Catholics in Chicago is shrinking. The Chicago Archdiocese serves just over 2.2 million Catholics and approximately 66,000 or 3 percent are Black. This is down from 90,000 self-identified Black Catholics just two years prior. According to the United States Conference on Catholic Bishops, there are 3 million Black Catholics in America.
Reginald Montgomery is another victim of priest sexual abuse who was represented by Atty. Aaron. They spoke briefly after reports of the most recent release of files appeared in the news.
His traumatic stories of abuse also began when he was 13. He was homeless after his mother kicked him out for misbehaving. Mr. Montgomery looked up to his priest as a father figure and was allowed to sleep upstairs in the rectory. Late one night, he was awakened by the priest rubbing on his body. Before he realized what was happening, it was too late. He was overpowered and raped.
Days after the document release, the Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago and a lawyer for an alleged sexual abuse victim announced a $3.2 million settlement. The lawsuit by the plaintiff, who hasn't been identified, accused the archdiocese of failing to promptly remove Daniel McCormack after claims he abused children had emerged. Plaintiff attorneys say their client was abused as a boy between the eighth and 11th grades.
"We are pleased to have reached this settlement because it marks one more step toward bringing justice to the victim and his family," Attorney William F. Martin said in a statement.
The archdiocese noted Jan. 30 that the settlement was reached with help from a mediator.
"The Archdiocese continues to encourage the use of alternatives to litigation to resolve claims of sexual misconduct in a just, fair and compassionate manner," it said. "The Archdiocese encourages anyone who has been sexually abused by a priest, deacon, religious or lay employee, to come forward." Mr. McCormack pleaded guilty in 2007 to abusing five children. He was sentenced to five years in prison and removed from priesthood. He's currently confined to a state mental health facility. Other civil claims against the Chicago church are still pending.
Losses as a result of church failures to act are also mounting: The Roman Catholic Diocese of Helena, Montana filed for bankruptcy protection Jan. 31 as part of a proposed $15 million settlement for hundreds of victims who say clergy members sexually abused them over decades while the church covered it up.
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Helena, Mont., includes the Cathedral of St. Helena. The diocese filed for bankruptcy protection but doesn't expect to liquidate any of its assets. Diocese spokesman Dan Bartleson said the Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization plan comes after confidential mediation sessions with the plaintiffs' attorneys and insurers, resulting in the deal to resolve the abuse claims.
The settlement details are being worked out, but the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Montana would be responsible for approving and supervising the disbursement of $15 million to compensate the 362 victims identified in the two lawsuits. In addition, at least $2.5 million will be set aside for victims who come forward later, spokesman Bartleson said.

NORFOLK, Va. Admirals alternate captain Ryan Craig's goal with 4:10 left in the third period leveled the score at four goals apiece after his team trailed 4-2 earlier in the period. However, Senators defenseman Derek Smith scored with 2:24 left in the game to give the Binghamton Senators (14-14-1-1) a 5-4 decision over the Norfolk Admirals (15-16-1-0) on Saturday night at Norfolk Scope Arena. The Admirals are now off for a week before playing back-to-back games against one of their biggest rivals, the Hershey Bears, in Hershey on December 27 and at Scope on December 29.
Binghamton struck first 6:16 into the opening period. Former Admiral Geoff Kinrade skated out of the penalty box and forced a turnover in his own zone. He skated into the Norfolk zone and fired a wrist shot through traffic from the top of the right circle that beat Norfolk netminder Riku Helenius top shelf.
Norfolk knotted the score at two goals apiece just over ten minutes later. Martins Karsums found the rebound of a Ty Wishart point shot at the top of the crease and put it past Binghamton goaltender Chris Holt for a power play goal at 16:36.
The Senators re-claimed the lead 4:26 into the second period. Erik Condra stole the puck from an Admirals defender in the Norfolk zone and got the puck to Kaspars Daugavins at the top of the crease. Daugavins sent a backhand shot past Helenius to give the visitors a 2-1 lead.
The Admirals leveled the score at two goals apiece just over nine minutes later with their second power play goal of the game. Brandon Bochenski moved the puck from the right corner to Karsums at the half wall and then Wishart at the right point. Wishart sent a slap shot through a screen that found its mark past the blocker of Holt at 13:04 for Wishart's fourth goal of the season.
However, the visitors quickly re-claimed the lead just 1:33 later with a power play goal of their own. Former Admiral Martin St. Pierre threaded a pass from the left half wall across the slot to Denis Hamel in the right circle. The Binghamton captain sent a quick wrist shot past the glove hand of Helenius at 14:37 for a 3-2 Senators lead.
The lead doubled just 15 seconds into the final frame. Ryan Keller backhanded a pass from the left corner into the slot where Zack Smith was stationed. Smith sent a one-timer into the cage for a 4-2 Senators lead.
The Admirals would not go quietly and mounted a spirited third period comeback beginning with Juraj Simek's second goal in as many nights at 12:31. Wishart sent a shot from the left point that caromed off Holt into the slot. Holt thought that he was holding on to the puck. However, Simek found the rebound and fired it into the yawning cage for his sixth goal of the season.
Norfolk tied the game at 4-4 just over three minutes later. Scott Jackson sent a shot from the high slot that Ryan Craig tipped into the net at 15:50.
However, the deadlock was short-lived. Derek Smith sent a long wrist shot that found its mark at 17:36 to give the Senators a 5-4 edge.
Norfolk skated the final 1:26 of the game with a two-man advantage after pulling Helenius for the extra attacker and a Derek Smith high-sticking double-minor. However, they were unable to find the equalizer.
Riku Helenius (23 shots, 18 saves) took the loss. Chris Holt (29 shots, 25 saves) got the win.
Norfolk was 2-8 on the power play. Binghamton was 1-6.
Next up for Norfolk is a home-and-home set against the Hershey Bears. The Admirals visit Hershey on Sunday, December 27 and the Bears come to Norfolk on Tuesday, December 29.
Tuesday's game will be another Family Fun Pack Night and Student Rush Night. Family Fun Packs include four discounted Red Level Tickets for just $48 plus four free hot dogs, four free popcorns and four free sodas. Fans get all of that for just $48 that's a savings of $37!

Lady Chucks cheering for inaugural D-IX gold
DuBOIS — All athletic teams work hard and want their opportunity to be successful, gain notoriety and claim championships. Through the years, the high school cheerleading ranks have always seen their members work as hard on their cheers, dances, stunts and tumbles as any of the other athletic teams on campus.
In Pennsylvania, the cheerleading teams, though, were always listed as having to be consider an 'other category' of sport. The cheer squads never had their chance for due honors and district and state title acclaim.
The frustrating times of always being the supporters and celebrating classmates' championships and accolades take on an exciting new era starting today.
For the first time, the PIAA, after years of debate and drumming up backing to the idea, will have its inaugural state championships in cheerleading this year. The drive to be the first schools to earn state champion acclaim begins at the DuBois Area High School this morning for the District IX title.
The 14-team District IX competition will begin at 10 a.m. Punxsy will be in the field with fellow district schools of Cranberry, A-C Valley, Clarion-Limestone, Key- stone, Elk County Catholic, St. Marys, North Clarion, Curwensville, Redbank Valley, Bradford, host DuBois and DuBois Central.
The top five varsity cheerleading squads will earn the right to move onto the PIAA state championships held in Hershey this February. At Hershey, the competition will be split in two divisions, with 96 total squads from around the state taking part.
The District IX format will be different than the state ranks. It will be the top five teams moving onto Hershey with no regard to size of school.
"We will be up against some tough schools," said Punxsy head coach Julie Baun. "We have practiced since July, and I think we have a shot. Our girls are very dedicated group of girls in the gym, and I feel like we are going in prepared."
The cheerleading teams will be on site at the DuBois Area High School bright and early, as the event requires teams to be there for a three hour warm-up preceding the event. All the sweat and hard work for Punxsy and its competitors will come down to two and a half minutes to show their might on the mat. Each team will have only that amount of time to show its best with no makeups or second chances.
The cheer squads will be judged in the 150 seconds of rehearsed, choreographed synchronization on the four categories of cheer, dance, stunting and tumbling.
The Lady Chucks will take the limelight's center stage sixth of the 14 teams. Punxsy will give its best but does have a challenge of another sort.
"We are a smaller team of only 10 girls," pointed out Baun. "Some squads are in the 20s. We are smaller, but strong."
The small in number but strong in stature Lady Chucks are looking for the same type of local support the team regularly gives each Friday night and many times multiple evenings to the other athletic teams.
"It would be nice if people are looking for something to do Saturday to have the community support," added Baun.
With the Christmas season upon us, the area community can stop at the cheerleading championships in the morning to watch a hopeful new era of Punxsy athletes make its mark in Hershey on the state level and cap off the day with an afternoon of holiday shopping.

I fugured, "Why confuse them with details here..." q:]
To anybody who is looking at doing this for the first time - check with the end person to see if they are trying to get bulk rates. You have to sort them and put them in specific crates in a particular order for bulk mail. The first time I did this, I wasn't told. So we had six low paid employees sorting a roomful of mailings for a week or two.
And since then I've learned to lock myself in a meeting room with anybody who asks for anything that will take time or cost money and get the *FULL* specifications, through to the end, from their mouths, of what they want. Later, (when I had her), I'd grab our inbound tech person who had been a secretary to take notes... not because I'm bad at notes, but because then it was the two of us with dual notes against his or her word ("No, I told you this!", is the first comment everytime the spec changes post-delievery). Now I just insist on recording key conversations... including phone calls.
For your needs, Xerox is definately a leader... I'd talk to them about software, or possibly a digital printer company like Heidleburg, or Xitron.
Or, hire me, and I'll write you a custom one through PostScript. q:]
BCC Software [bccsoftware.com] has Mail Manager 2010, a mail merge software. When I worked for them 6 years ago, they were probably the fastest mail merge software in existence. They work with flat databases, and can import many types of files. They print to many sorts of printers, and also print all the assorted USPS forms that you need. I think they would give you a demo.
Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons.

Volunteers needed for RNLI's Mayday
The RNLI is issuing its own call for help, appealing for volunteers to help with 'Mayday' – the charity's forthcoming national fundraising event in Ireland – which will be taking place from 1–5 May this year.
The charity is calling on people to show their support by volunteering to help with street collections and a range of other fundraising events, which will be taking place across Ireland during the five days.
The charity is asking if people can give just a couple of hours of their time – maybe to get involved with a street collection or to help run an event.
Events will have a 'welly' theme, in a nod to the iconic yellow wellies – an essential piece of kit – worn by the charity's volunteer lifeboat crew members. Welly walks and 'Wear your wellies to work' are just two examples.
Last year, RNLI lifeboat crews from Ireland's 44 lifeboat stations launched 1,087 times, rescuing 1,278 people. They are on-call 24/7, every day of the year, ready to respond to emergencies at sea.
Emma Gibson, RNLI Community Fundraising Area Manager, says:
'The RNLI's dedicated volunteer lifeboat crews around Ireland are always ready to respond to the Mayday calls of those in distress at sea. We're now hoping people will respond to our call for help, by volunteering a bit of their time to help run some of the great events we have planned for the five days spanning the Mayday bank holiday weekend.
'Mayday is the RNLI's national fundraising event for Ireland. Last year we raised over €114,000 and we're hoping we can exceed that this year, with people's help. We're encouraging anyone who can spare some time to help us to get in touch. We have some fun events planned, so hopefully people will enjoy themselves while also doing their bit to support this lifesaving charity.'
All money raised through Mayday fundraising events in Ireland will support the RNLI's work in Ireland – it will be used to fund crew training, buy new crew kit, or contribute towards the running costs of a lifeboat station.

The Olympic Sailing Center in Qingdao, China provided the perfect backdrop today as the Northern Irish entry competing in the Clipper 2013-14 Round the World Yacht Race started Race 10 from Qingdao, China to San Francisco, USA . Thousands of well-wishers lined the quayside eager get one last glimpse of the 12-strong international fleet during an epic departure ceremony which attracted a large media presence and was broadcast live on TV. The ceremony featured hundreds of performers in a carefully choreographed programme which featured VIP guests including local officials and the British Ambassador to China. After a tense start Derry~Londonderry~Doire was the first boat to cross the start line of the 5,800 mile race which started at 1345 local time (0545 UTC) as Mission Performance and Qingdao were in hot pursuit. "We are in pretty good shape; we all know this is a long leg but the crew are all looking forward to arriving in San Francisco, we would have broken the back of the race, we're on our way home." Added skipper of Derry~Londondery~Doire Sean McCarter before his team set off. The first key milestone in Race 10 will be off the Southern tip of Japan when tactics start come in to play again as skippers are faced with the age-old dilemma; take the shortest route and risk light airs or head north for a colder but stronger ride east. "This will be a tough leg in lots of ways. I think the length of this race is going to be a challenge. We should have a fairly easy start with light winds, so hopefully we will get into a rhythm then. Once we head off the south of Japan it's going to get a lot heavier and more difficult, which will be the first big hurdle." "The teams are really looking forward to this race. Once you get on the move the better, all the nerves disappear as soon as you start sailing."Added Sean. Sea Cadet Volunteer, Keith Bisson from Jersey joined the Northern Irish team in Qingdao after winning a national competition to compete in Leg 6 of the Clipper Race. However, when it came to deciding which boat he would sail on, there was only one option: "As my wife is from Derry-Londonderry I knew immediately that I had to be on the Northern Irish entry, Derry~Londonderry~Doire. We have a huge family back there; so much so that we have already booked our holiday to coincide with the Derry-Londonderry stopover. "This race is going to be a fantastic experience, it all feels very surreal at the moment but I can't wait to get started. I know this will be a test of endurance, but I'm well prepared and ready for the challenge. Just knowing that the Golden Gate Bridge will be waiting for us at the end, makes it all worthwhile." The twelve-strong fleet is expected in San Francisco between 8-12 April where they will be berthed until the start of Race 11 to the Panama Canal on 19 April.
The fine dry weather at the start of March has certainly brought a lot of anglers out fishing and now that the trout season is in full swing, there is plenty of fishing to be enjoyed all around Ireland. In comparison to last spring, this spring in March has ensured good fishing all around but there is still high water levels on some rivers and loughs but they are dropping every day in the present nice spell of weather.
Down on Lough Currane there some nice salmon fishing reported including a fine 11 lb. fish for an American visitor. Conditions on the Blackwater Lodge fishery on the Cork Blackwater are bringing better fishing and several salmon were taken in recent days. The dropping water levels are helping the salmon fishing at Delphi in Co. Mayo with the occasional fish reported. The River Drowes produced ten salmon for the week and although there was a good run for fish into Lough Melvin there was none reported to the rod in the past seven days.
Out at sea anglers fishing with charter skipper Hamish Currie enjoyed good conger and spurdog fishing in the cooler but calm conditions in the last few days. The Galway SAC held a celebration for Conor McDermott a junior sea angler who finished in the places for the Irish Home Junior team.
Father and son team Timmy and Philip Cunningham caught some fine trout up to 7 lb. from Lough Ree. A few trout were also reported be moving on Lough Owel where more anglers are fishing in the nice weather this past week. Well known chef Kevin Dundon was out fishing on Lough Lene with angling guide and journalist Mick Flanagan and caught some lovely which he then cooked for a fabulous lunch at the lake shore. Angling tackle dealer and guide Pat Cleere reports good river fishing on the River Liffey near Clane where there were good hatches of dark olives and midges and fish were rising to them. Angling guide Jason O'Riordan ran a successful course at the rainbow trout fishery at Ardaire and his pupils certainly enjoyed the course and caught many fish on the day. On Lough Sheelin, Gary McKiernan of Lough Sheelin Guiding Services caught impressive trout of 68 cm, tipping the scales at 8 lb. 11 oz., on a glister Ollie and this is our Catch of the Week. This was one of many good trout reported from the fishery where sunk fly lines and big flies brought success to the hardy anglers out fishing in the past week. The cool dry weather did not put off anglers fishing at Carrigavantry last week with good trout fishing reported. The Courtlough Winter league in north Co. Dublin continued last weekend with good catches of Rainbow Trout reported.
Pike angling was a little slower last week with loughs in Co. Monaghan fishing well for anglers using soft plastics baits and Jerk baits. Some French anglers fishing with angling guide Kevin Lyons had good sport on loughs in the Longford area.
Small loughs in the Monaghan area are producing some excellent roach fishing at present. In the same county junior anglers fishing a competition at Lough Muckno had some excellent catches including bream, roach and hybrids last weekend.
In this week's update, there are many other angling stories, clippings and club announcements and you can access all these through the angling update on the website. Prospects for fishing in the coming weekend look excellent and I expect more anglers out fishing on inland waters and at sea.
Tight lines especially in Ireland,

Another great loss for CNN. I wish him well, though!

Michael Ware has been the most authentic voice of war zone coverage that CNN has ever had. Not that they don't have other outstanding talent - but Ware offered insight that no one else could ... or would offer.
His repots were full of detail, understanding and intimacy. He offered a clear view of "the big picture" as well as compelling stories of individuals. I trusted him. He was smart and he was honest ... sometimes almost defiantly so.
He will be sorely missed.

Oh, I assumed it was Taiwanese because I vaguely recall my Taiwanese co-teachers scribbling away at lian luo bu in the back of the classroom during most of my sessions. Maybe it's used in the older grades?
So to summarize, there's basically no phonics in public KG. Which implies very little formal direct instruction of Mandarin language. Mandarin language is just learned through all the activities in KG. That's actually pretty amazing. My two year old in daycare is getting phonics and alphabet instruction, although that's mainly because it's a startup daycare near our place, so it's mixed age right now and the phonics/alphabet stuff is for the older kids. Is any character recognition taught in KG? Of course I'm sure verbal fluency is still emphasized, but basically it is assumed that no visual literacy of any form is important in KG?
What about math in public KG? Is there lots of counting of objects? Are games like Chutes and Ladders played that involve counting? What about building block activities like Lego blocks where kids are exposed to shapes and spatial relations? My daycare has zero math-related stuff, formally at least. It might be woven into activities, but I'd have to sit there all day to witness it. They never talk about math when I talk to them, so I suspect the teachers don't think about it as a teachable category.
Since our daycare is kind of still in startup mode, I suspect some of this may change once they change to single age class groups next year.

Today, the American Navy stands 19th in the list of 20 principal nations in the world. Happily for us, we outrank Denmark by eight men, and by this happy stroke of good luck are not placed at the foot of the list.
Little Anna Redmond was abducted from her home last May. Her father became insane through grief and was sent to the asylum at Kankakee. On Friday, a neighbor of the Redmonds discovered the child in the Chicago Home for the Friendless, and she was restored to her friends. The father was brought home from the asylum, and the family was once more happily united.

At 1 o'clock Tuesday morning, the residents of the Kingston Hotel were driven from their beds by dense smoke and flames. The firemen tried to extinguish the fire, but the hose, probably being frozen, burst, and by the time another was substituted the building was doomed. In about an hour nothing remained but blackened ruins.
Only one of the 52 convicts sent to the honor camp at Grand Detour to build a road abused the trust reposed in him, it was made known when the men returned to the state penitentiary last week.

Sycamore's first hobby show, exceeding all expectations, attracted 1,278 spectators and was so successful a second one will be held next year. In the meantime, Weldon B. Wade, who put on the show, says his next event will be a pet show to which all pets are invited.
Drastic action was taken this week by Sheriff William D. Runnells as a result of the escape of a Sterling man after he stabbed two DeKalb men last Friday. The sheriff took the star of Deputy I.L. Elmendorf, who is said to have put Arthur Staton of Sterling in a car after the stabbing.

Sheriff Field Utter and his staff are always busy, but lately, thefts – including a burglary of Rollo school and the theft of 2,670 pounds of brass parts from railroad cars – accidents and a search for a missing Malta man have combined to give the department more work and worry than usual.
Police cannot report any trace of Raymond Mamenga of Malta, a 47-year-old epileptic. He was last seen Feb. 6. It does seem strange that in this modern age of jets, television, spaceships, radio telephone, roving police cars and newspapers, that anyone could actually vanish, but so far that seems to be what has happened.
Sycamore-area voters will have but two elections to worry about this spring: the school election on April 11 and the county, state, and national primaries on April 14.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Oakland police say an eight-year-old girl is hospitalized after she was hit by gunfire in what's believed to be a gang-related drive-by shooting.
Police say the girl was standing with some other people in front of the home of relatives when she was shot in the leg when at least two people in a passing car opened fire.
The girl _ who has not been named _ is expected to survive her injuries.
The incident comes after a series of shootings in Oakland, including the wounding of two police officers in separate incidents last week.
Oakland police are planning a news conference at 11:15 a.m. Tuesday to discuss the recent shootings.

AUBURN, Alabama -- Newly-hired Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn released Gene Chizik's staff late Wednesday afternoon and told them that he planned to hire a new staff, beginning with the offensive and defensive coordinators.
The meeting was brief. Malzahn informed Auburn's assistants that he planned to start with the coordinator positions and move on from there.
"(He didn't say) much, that he's just hiring his offensive and defensive coordinator, and he's going to go from there," special teams coordinator Jay Boulware said. "He said if we were interested, he'd let his coordinators choose, so it is what it is."
Auburn's other assistant coaches declined to comment on the situation.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Police say a suicidal Temple University student has surrendered, ending a nearly 17-hour standoff with police at his off-campus apartment.
Police and university officials have yet to identify the student.
But police say the parents of the 26-year-old man alerted officers that their son was suicidal and police say the man had a gun.
Police say the man never threatened to harm anybody else, though witnesses say some gunfire was heard. It was unclear whether police fired shots or flash grenades at the home in an effort to end the standoff, or whether the student returned fire.
In any event, police say nobody was injured and the student was convinced to surrender about 2:15 a.m. Monday. The incident began shortly after 9:30 a.m. Sunday in North Philadelphia.

Standoff In Point Pleasant Beach Prompts School Lockdown
A man who climbed to the roof of a hardware store in Point Pleasant Beach turned the gun on himself but survived after causing a tense morning.
Police say they were looking for Robert F. Terry III, 33, of Port Monmouth in connection with a domestic violence incident in Brick early Wednesday morning.
Terry, described as a "suicidal armed male" in a statement by Point Pleasant Police, took a taxi to the Point Pleasant Beach train station but was spotted by police before he got there around 8:40 a.m. He fled the taxi on foot and made his way to the roof of Bain Hardware on Arnold Avenue.
The Brick SWAT team made their way to the roof and Terry shot himself in the head with a .25 caliber hand gun. He was taken via medical helicopter to Jersey Shore University Medical Center where he is in critical condition.
Schools in Point Pleasant Beach and Point Pleasant High School were placed on lockdown as a precautionary measure around 9:45 a.m. but "students were not in any eminent danger according to police.
The Ocean County Prosecutor's Office in an earlier statement denied there was a robbery attempt involving Terry.
Witnesses say Terry fired shots before turning the gun on himself.

IUCN experts attending the 10th United Nations Forum on Forests this week are showcasing how countries can restore forests and generate many benefits for people, nature and the economy.
More than half of the planet's original forest cover has been lost or degraded but there is huge potential to restore forests and turn degraded areas into healthy, fertile, working landscapes that meet the needs of people and the environment. And this restoration effort is well under way.
In 2011, an international assembly of high-level representatives from governments, businesses and conservation groups set a target to restore 150 million hectares of degraded lands by 2020. This agreement is called the Bonn Challenge.
To harness this public support, IUCN joined forces with Airbus to launch the Plant a Pledge campaign, which, through an online petition, empowers all people to call on governments, landowners and communities to contribute land to the Bonn Challenge.
A series of five short videos by IUCN shows successful forest restoration in action and highlights the benefits that it generates.
