Litigation Release No. 22335 / April 18, 2012
Accounting and Auditing Enforcement Release No. 3381 / April 18, 2012
Securities and Exchange Commission v. John J. Todd, Robert D. Manza, and Jeffrey Weitzen, United States District Court for the Southern District of California, Case No. 03 CV 2230 BEN
On April 10, 2012, a final judgment was entered against John J. Todd, a former CFO of Gateway, Inc. Todd consented to entry of the final judgment without admitting or denying the allegations made by the Securities and Exchange Commission that he engaged in fraud and other violations of the federal securities laws in connection with Gateway's recognition of revenue in the third quarter of 2000. This concludes the litigation of this action, brought in 2003 against three former officers of Gateway.
The SEC alleged that Todd falsely represented Gateway's financial condition in the third quarter of 2000 in order to meet financial analysts' earnings and revenue expectations. Among other transactions, the SEC alleged that Todd caused Gateway to record $47.2 million in revenue from a one-time sale of fixed assets to Gateway's third-party information technology services provider in violation of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and that Todd, then Gateway's CFO, caused Gateway to recognize an additional $21 million in revenue from an incomplete sale of computers to a second entity, also in violation of GAAP. The SEC alleged that absent either of these transactions, Gateway would not have met analysts' expectations with regard to its third quarter revenue.
Todd consented to a final judgment permanently enjoining him from violations of the antifraud provisions of Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and from violations of SEC Rule 13b2-2, which prohibits making misrepresentations and omissions of material fact to company auditors, as well as from aiding and abetting the issuer reporting provisions of Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1 and 13a-13 thereunder. Todd further consented to be barred for ten years from acting as an officer or director of a public company, and to pay disgorgement of $165,000, constituting his salary and bonus for the relevant quarter, together with prejudgment interest thereon of $138,162.24 totaling $303,162.24, and a $110,000 penalty.
Previously, on March 7, 2007, a jury had rendered a unanimous verdict finding Todd and defendant Robert D. Manza, Gateway's former controller, liable for fraud, making false representations to auditors, aiding and abetting issuer reporting violations and other violations following a three week trial. On May 30, 2007, the Honorable Roger T. Benitez overturned the jury verdict as to the fraud and certain other claims. The SEC appealed that ruling, as well as the District Court's prior August 1, 2006, grant of summary judgment to Gateway's former CEO, Jeffrey Weitzen, dismissing the SEC's case as to Weitzen. On June 23, 2011, the Ninth Circuit reversed those rulings and remanded the matter to the District Court. On January 25, 2012, the Court entered final judgments against Weitzen and Manza pursuant to their consents. [LR 22244 (January 31, 2012.]

irst of all I should tell you that this ceremony fills me with great emotion, gratitude and hope. In this South-western Young American State full of original, pre-Hispanic History; in its cities and in its people and landscape, I have become aware of your profound Spanish roots; and with these I feel a deep sense of belonging, so that returning to New Mexico is for me close to coming black home.
These American lands are deeply imbued with the substance and the spirit of Spanish culture, which is evident in the life-style and the relations among your people. However, it has also been enriched by new words, new gestures and new ways of seeing and doing things that conform much of your identity today. In this land we, as Spaniards, can detect some of the core elements that have made us what we are. Of course, we share a common history, and this we should not forget. New Mexico has become the heartland of Spanish culture in this great and immense country, and that encourages us to feel that its future holds a special, honourable and valuable place for us as a loyal partner in forging the rich cultural variety that characterizes the U.S., much alike our own country, for the benefit of all.
The new ?Information Society? presents us with limitless possibilities to establish and multiply new and different forms of relationship and interchange. The Endowed Chair we are presenting to the public today, and for which I feel a personal sense of responsibility, is a token of the close collaboration that is possible or achievable between Spaniards and New Mexicans.
Mr. President, for your generosity in offering me to lend my name to the Endowed Chair, I thank you with all my heart. It is always an exceptional honour to have one?s name linked with Academic excellence, something this Endowed Chair will clearly aim to achieve.
Mr. Willard, I would like to express my most sincere thanks for the University of New Mexico medal you have just presented to me. This distinction, which I feel honoured to accept, ties me even closer, to this wonderful institution.
I owe special thanks to His Excellency the Ambassador of the United States in Spain and the person whose idea this project was, and who placed his love for both countries at the service of this noble enterprise. And I also deeply thank Iberdrola and its Chairman, Íñigo de Oriol, for backing this initiative, as an example of his belief in the social responsibility of private enterprise. Iberdrola?s generosity will benefit Spanish researchers and scientists by offering them the opportunity to train, teach and research at this prestigious American university. (We specially appreciate his effort in being with us today after de very recent and intense developments in the electric power market back home).
Indeed, there are few institutions better prepared or qualified to help us harness the future of new technological developments than the University of New Mexico, a university of established technical prestige with a Hispanic and universal tradition which makes it a natural and beneficial link between the Hispanic and Anglo-Saxon worlds. Besides the devotion to science and research that has made it the headquarters of the Ibero-American Teaching Consortium for these subjects, this university has one of the most prestigious Latin American and Iberian Studies centres in the United States and has concluded numerous Collaboration Agreements with Spanish and Latin American universities. Add to this the large number of Hispanic students on its roll, and above all the close ties between us, and one can understand the potential importance of a Chair based on such profound historical and cultural roots. All that remains is to let it and help it develop that potential.
It gives me special satisfaction to know that, just as it was originally conceived, this Chair will de devoted to the study of the new and complex problems raised by the so called ?Information Society? today. Few areas are better placed to promote the sharing of knowledge than those relating to the development of new technologies.
It has been demonstrated that scientific research, and technological development and innovation are enhanced by the use of Information and Communications Technologies; therefore it can be of decisive help in resolving some of the greatest challenges now facing our societies, in many different areas. These technologies are increasingly present in all fields of science and in all productive sectors, and most importantly, they are having a decisive impact on the lives of ordinary people, on how we get to share and extend any technological advancement or scientific breakthroughs.
Indeed, we are now witnessing profound changes that make us rethink or revise many of our habits, and may also undermine traditional values and concepts of industrialized society. The ?Information Society? constitutes a set of challenges and opportunities that are transforming our individual and collective lives. Health, leisure, work, labour relations, business organization and social relations in general, including international relations, can and should benefit in the new technological and cultural era. In this process of transformation, in which we place a great deal of hope, we should not however ignore the ethical and social aspects of what we do. The new discoveries in science and technology must be placed at the service of a new moral conscience that will register and express the aspirations of the people of our time, will respect human dignity, will foster social justice and will contribute to the well-being of all citizens without distinction.
On this note, I also wish to thank our Ministry of Science and Technology for supporting the project unveiled today. Spain is currently facing a historic opportunity in the process of technological and industrial modernization, and unlike other economic turning-points in our history, this time we are ready to assume our rightful role in the concert of nations, for a number of very sound reasons.
Concern about technological innovation is evident in all spheres of our society, in the media and in political discourse. Spanish enterprises have clearly understood the message that unless they adapt their production and distribution processes to the new technologies, they cannot survive against ever stiffening competition.
At this moment, our young people are willing and able to meet these challenges. We need to make full use of the possibilities offered by the efforts of our young researchers and the tremendous potential of our research centres and universities, which are becoming increasingly well adapted to the new technological environment and ever more attuned to the needs of the country?s productive apparatus.
The recent creation of a Department of Science and Technology, whose Minister is with us here, is yet another sign of the Government?s growing interest in technological innovation. Along the same line, it is essential for our long term development to pursue public policies that support science and to allocate more people and resources to the new technologies.
However, this major push forward that Spain will be making in the coming years will and should not take place in isolation, only working closely together with other countries can we be more aware of the advances taking place beyond our frontiers, and therefore assimilate and help develop them.
Spain now plays a leading role in an ambitious and promising European project, we are very much engaged and believe that it is the only way we have to move forward but this does not mean we are unmindful of our profound transatlantic connection. There is no contradiction between our European and American identities; on the contrary, the one reinforces and enhances the other in a special symbiotic relationship that bares great opportunities for the future and has already been very fruitful for the past 20 years.
Allow me to say a few words en Spanish
Nuestro papel histórico en el espacio iberoamericano se ve precisamente facilitado por nuestro papel en la vieja Europa, y a partir de ahora, las estrechas relaciones que estamos iniciando con Nuevo México abrirán, sin duda, nuevos caminos y nuevas perspectivas en el fortalecimiento de nuestras relaciones con Iberoamérica, con la que nos sentimos afectiva y responsablemente implicados. En ese sentido no debemos olvidarnos del gran activo que nos vincula cultural, económica y socialmente y que constituye el principal legado de España a estas tierras, nuestra común lengua. La construcción del espacio común iberoamericano en el tablero del mundo de la Globalización pasa por la presencia del español en la investigación científica, sin la cual no es posible el desarrollo tecnológico, y en su necesaria presencia en las grandes redes electrónicas. El hecho de que se expresen en español 400 millones de personas en el mundo y de que se prevea su uso, en los Estados Unidos, por mas de 100 millones de hispanohablantes, justifica sobradamente el esfuerzo compartido que hemos de llevar a cabo para que el español tenga el protagonismo que le corresponde en la futura Sociedad de la Información.
It is in this scenario that we have founded our Chair, planted on deep roots and fertile soil, with the prospect of a stimulating life. There are certain signs that unite us, signs that have survived the passage of time and constitute the most solid of foundations. Our History and the Endowed Chair; the past and the future; a Spanish enterprise and a New Mexican university; the best of tradition and the latest information technologies; Spain and America, united with new ideas and new plans for exchange and cooperation. It just can?t go wrong!
True, the days of Oñate and Coronado were other times, but they were the painful yet auspicious beginnings of an enriching history which today allows us to look forward to a better future for our peoples. Risk, imagination, will-power and dreams are still essential stimuli for progress. The spiritual and worldly adventure embodied by the wagon trains of Oñate gave off new and unforeseen fruits. With the passage of time and the toil and imagination of men, the little adobe huts that these Spanish pioneers found have been transformed into centres of cutting-edge scientific research, so that New Mexico today is a leader in the United States and the world in high technology.
The verses of Gaspar Pérez de Villagrá speak of ?those valorous Spaniards? who discovered in the West Indies what had hitherto remained hidden from European eyes. This they did, in the words of Villagrá?s song, ?by dint of courage and strong arms?. It is now up to us to provide the toil and the imagination. It is now our challenge, our responsibility and our hope, and in this Chair and this enterprise you will find me always at your side.

Yesterday, the Fermilab brought us the press release
Dark Energy Survey reveals most accurate measurement of dark matter structure in the universecelebrating a new result by the Dark Energy Survey (DES), a multinational collaboration studying dark matter and dark energy using a telescope in Chile, at an altitude of 2,200 meters.
DES wants to produce similar results as Planck – the modern sibling of WMAP and COBE, a satellite that studies the cosmic microwave background temperature in various directions very finely – but its method is very different. The DES telescope looks at things in the infrared – but it is looking at "regular things" such as the number of galaxy clusters, weak gravitational lensing, type IA supernovae, and baryon acoustic oscillations.
It sounds incredible to me but the DES transnational team is capable of detecting tiny distortions of the images of distant galaxies that are caused by gravitational lensing and by measuring how much distortion there is in a given direction, they determine the density of dark matter in that direction.
At the end, they determine some of the same cosmological parameters as Planck, e.g. that dark energy makes about 70 percent of the energy density of our Universe in average. And especially if you focus on a two-dimensional plane, you may see a slight disagreement between Planck's measurement based on the CMB and "pretty much all other methods" to measure the cosmological parameters.
Planck (the blue blob) implies a slightly higher fraction of the matter in the Universe, perhaps 30-40 percent, and a slightly higher clumpiness of matter than DES whose fraction of the matter is between 24-30 percent. Meanwhile, all the measurements aside from the truly historicaly "pure CMB" Planck measurement – which includes DES and Planck's own analysis of clusters – seem to be in a better agreement with each other.
So it's disappointing that cosmology still allows us to measure the fraction of matter just as "something between 25 and 40 percent or so" – the accuracy is lousier than we used to say. On the other hand, the disagreement is just 1.4-2.3 sigma, depending on what is exactly considered and how. This is a very low signal-to-noise ratio – the disagreement is very far from a discovery (we often like 5 sigma).
More importantly, even if the disagreement could be calculated to be 4 sigma or something like that, what's troubling is that such a disagreement gives us almost no clue about "how we should modify our standard cosmological model" to improve the fit. An extra sterile neutrino could be the thing we need. Or some cosmic strings added to the Universe. Or a modified profile for some galactic dark matter. But maybe some holographic MOND-like modification of gravity is desirable. Or a different model of dark energy – some variable cosmological constant. Or something totally different – if you weren't impressed by the fundamental diversity of the possible explanations I have mentioned.
The disagreement in one or two parameters is just way too little information to give us (by us, I mean the theorists) useful clues. So even if I can imagine that in some distant future, perhaps in the year 2200, people will already agree that our model of the cosmological constant was seriously flawed in some way I can't imagine now, the observations provide us with no guide telling us where we should go from here.
Aside from the DES telescope, Chile has similar compartments and colors on their national flag as Czechia and they also have nice protocol pens with pretty good jewels that every wise president simply has to credibly appreciate. When I say "credibly", it means not just by words and clichés but by acts, too.
So even if the disagreement were 4 sigma, I just wouldn't switch to a revolutionary mode – partly because the statistical significance isn't quite persuasive, partly because I don't know what kind of a revolution I should envision or participate in.
That's why I prefer to interpret the result of DES as something that isn't quite new or ground-breaking but that still shows how nontrivially we understand the life of the Universe that has been around for 13.800002017 ;-) billion years so far and how very different ways to interpret the fields in the Universe seem to yield (almost) the same outcome.
You may look for some interesting relevant tweets by cosmologist Shaun Hotchkiss.

ToxFAQs™ for Chlorinated Dibenzo-p-dioxins (CDDs)
(Dibenzo-p-Dioxinas Policloradas (DDPCs))
February 1999
This fact sheet answers the most frequently asked health questions about CDDs. For more information, you may call the ATSDR Information Center at 1-888-422-8737. This fact sheet is one in a series of summaries about hazardous substances and their health effects. This information is important because this substance may harm you. The effects of exposure to any hazardous substance depend on the dose, the duration, how you are exposed, personal traits and habits, and whether other chemicals are present.
Exposure to chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (CDDs) (75 chemicals) occurs mainly from eating food that contains the chemicals. One chemical in this group, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin or 2,3,7,8-TCDD, has been shown to be very toxic in animal studies. It causes effects on the skin and may cause cancer in people. This chemical has been found in at least 91 of 1,467 National Priorities List sites identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
What are CDDs?
CDDs are a family of 75 chemically related compounds commonly known as chlorinated dioxins. One of these compounds is called 2,3,7,8-TCDD. It is one of the most toxic of the CDDs and is the one most studied.
In the pure form, CDDs are crystals or colorless solids.
CDDs enter the environment as mixtures containing a number of individual components. 2,3,7,8-TCDD is odorless and the odors of the other CDDs are not known.
CDDs are not intentionally manufactured by industry except for research purposes. They (mainly 2,3,7,8-TCDD) may be formed during the chlorine bleaching process at pulp and paper mills. CDDs are also formed during chlorination by waste and drinking water treatment plants. They can occur as contaminants in the manufacture of certain organic chemicals. CDDs are released into the air in emissions from municipal solid waste and industrial incinerators.
What happens to CDDs when they enters the environment?
- When released into the air, some CDDs may be transported long distances, even around the globe.
- When released in waste waters, some CDDs are broken down by sunlight, some evaporate to air, but most attach to soil and settle to the bottom sediment in water.
- CDD concentrations may build up in the food chain, resulting in measurable levels in animals.
How might I be exposed to CDDs?
- Eating food, primarily meat, dairy products, and fish, makes up more than 90% of the intake of CDDs for the general population.
- Breathing low levels in air and drinking low levels in water.
- Skin contact with certain pesticides and herbicides.
- Living near an uncontrolled hazardous waste site containing CDDs or incinerators releasing CDDs.
- Working in industries involved in producing certain pesticides containing CDDs as impurities, working at paper and pulp mills, or operating incinerators.
How can CDDs affect my health?
The most noted health effect in people exposed to large amounts of 2,3,7,8-TCDD is chloracne. Chloracne is a severe skin disease with acne-like lesions that occur mainly on the face and upper body. Other skin effects noted in people exposed to high doses of 2,3,7,8-TCDD include skin rashes, discoloration, and excessive body hair. Changes in blood and urine that may indicate liver damage also are seen in people. Exposure to high concentrations of CDDs may induce long-term alterations in glucose metabolism and subtle changes in hormonal levels.
In certain animal species, 2,3,7,8-TCDD is especially harmful and can cause death after a single exposure. Exposure to lower levels can cause a variety of effects in animals, such as weight loss, liver damage, and disruption of the endocrine system. In many species of animals, 2,3,7,8-TCDD weakens the immune system and causes a decrease in the system's ability to fight bacteria and viruses. In other animal studies, exposure to 2,3,7,8-TCDD has caused reproductive damage and birth defects. Some animal species exposed to CDDs during pregnancy had miscarriages and the offspring of animals exposed to 2,3,7,8-TCDD during pregnancy often had severe birth defects including skeletal deformities, kidney defects, and weakened immune responses.
How likely are CDDs to cause cancer?
Several studies suggest that exposure to 2,3,7,8-TCDD increases the risk of several types of cancer in people. Animal studies have also shown an increased risk of cancer from exposure to 2,3,7,8-TCDD.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has determined that 2,3,7,8-TCDD is a human carcinogen.
The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has determined that 2,3,7,8-TCDD may reasonably be anticipated to cause cancer.
How can CDDs affect children?
Very few studies have looked at the effects of CDDs on children. Chloracne has been seen in children exposed to high levels of CDDs. We don't know if CDDs affect the ability of people to have children or if it causes birth defects, but given the effects observed in animal studies, this cannot be ruled out.
How can families reduce the risk of exposure to CDDs?
- Children should avoid playing in soils near uncontrolled hazardous waste sites.
- Discourage children from eating dirt or putting toys or other objects in their mouths.
- Everyone should wash hands frequently if playing or working near uncontrolled hazardous waste sites.
- For new mothers and young children, restrict eating foods from the proximity of uncontrolled sites with known CDDs.
- Children and adults should eat a balanced diet preferably containing low to moderate amounts of animal fats including meat and dairy products, and fish that contain lower amounts of CDDs and eat larger amounts of fruits, vegetables and grains.
Is there a medical test to show whether I've been exposed to CDDs?
Tests are available to measure CDD levels in body fat, blood, and breast milk, but these tests are not routinely available. Most people have low levels of CDDs in their body fat and blood, and levels considerably above these levels indicate past exposure to above-normal levels of 2,3,7,8-TCDD. Although CDDs stay in body fat for a long time, tests cannot be used to determine when exposure occurred.
Has the federal government made recommendations to protect human health?
The EPA has set a limit of 0.00003 micrograms of 2,3,7,8-TCDD per liter of drinking water (0.00003 µg/L). Discharges, spills, or accidental releases of 1 pound or more of 2,3,7,8-TCDD must be reported to EPA. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends against eating fish and shellfish with levels of 2,3,7,8-TCDD greater than 50 parts per trillion (50 ppt).

Ruler On Ice continued the three-year-old graded stakes upset trend with a surprising tally over Stay Thirsty and Brilliant Speed in the 2011 Belmont Stakes.
The sloppy Belmont Park oval was favoring early-pressing speed throughout the day and the top two Belmont Stakes finishers made their presence felt throughout.
Ruler On Ice has returned to his Monmouth Park base with the Haskell a logical target. His stablemate Pants On Fire goes in Saturday's Pegasus at the Jersey Shore and also has an eye on the Haskell.
Stay Thirsty and Brilliant Speed will likely spend the summer at Saratoga with the Jim Dandy and Travers on their radar screens.
Belmont Stakes 4th place finisher Nehro came out of the race with a small bone chip in his right front ankle and will have surgery on June 15.
Shackleford set the Belmont pace but came up empty late in a 5th place finish. He could not quite handle the marathon distance and should be much more effective in a race like the Haskell.
Animal Kingdom clipped heels and jockey John Velazquez lost his irons in a disastrous beginning. The Derby hero ended up a better than appears 6th and will target the big summer races (Haskell, Travers).
The rest were far back including the disappointing Master of Hounds, Mucho Macho Man, and Santiva. The latter reportedly did not handle the wet going.
This year's Triple Crown series was a wild ride of upsets and the 3-year-old title is up for grabs. What surprises are in store for the second half of the year? I can't wait to find out…stay tuned!

Helen Clark: UNDP QNFSP-UNDP Joint Side-Event on "Understanding the Water and Food Security Challenges in the Arab Region"Dec 6, 2012
Remarks by Helen Clark, UNDP Administrator
QNFSP-UNDP Joint Side-Event on
"Understanding the Water and Food Security Challenges in the Arab Region"
13:15-14:45, Thursday 6th December, 2012
Doha, Qatar
It is a pleasure to join you here in Doha to discuss the important topic of "understanding the water and food security challenges in the Arab region". I thank the Qatar National Food Security Programme, and Chairman Fahad Al-Attiya, for co-organizing this event with UNDP.
There is nothing more essential for human survival than access to water and food. Both are fundamental to life and health.
In many countries, however, there are serious challenges to both water and food security. Climate change will exacerbate these already existing vulnerabilities.
The World Food Programme estimates that by 2050 climate change will put twenty per cent more people at risk of hunger. Other projections suggest that changes in water run-off patterns and glacial melt will put an additional 1.8 billion people in water scarce environments by 2080.
The frequency and impact of severe drought and flooding around the world suggests that climate change is already impacting on water and food security. Recent food crises in the Horn of Africa and the Sahel are stark reminders of the impact of repeated severe drought on vulnerable populations.
Water scarcity is clearly a highly salient issue in the Arab States region. The annual share of water per capita in Arab states is just one-twelfth the global average; fifteen Arab states are beneath the international water poverty line of 1,000 cubic meters per person per year; and in eight of these countries the population has access to fewer than 200 cubic meters of water per capita per year.
Food security in the region also suffers from water scarcity. With agriculture output squeezed, the region imports more food than any other region in the world. This makes the peoples of the region very vulnerable to food price rises. Between 2006 and 2008, food prices increased by 44 per cent in Iraq, 25 per cent in Syria, and nineteen per cent in Lebanon[1]. Such price spikes have an especially detrimental impact on the poorest and most vulnerable populations.
Overall, the impact of the linked challenges of water access and food security is greatest in the poorest countries. In the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) of the Arab States region, almost half the rural population lacks access to improved sources of drinking water, and under 25 per cent has access to improved sanitation facilities. Malnutrition among children in these countries increased to 36 per cent in the late 2000s – today, nearly one in four people are undernourished[2].
The region's middle- and high-income countries also face water and food security challenges. Indeed, the high-income countries have the lowest stocks of renewable fresh water and the highest proportions of imported food.
Faced with these major challenges, countries in the Arab States region have been proactive in devising solutions to strengthen water and food security.
The State of Qatar and the Qatar National Food Security Programme are working for enhanced food security, at the national and international levels. Qatar initiated the establishment of the Global Dry Lands Alliance – a treaty-based alliance to assist dry land countries to address food insecurity which is being exacerbated by desertification, land degradation, and drought.
Strengthening water and food security is a prominent part of UNDP's work in the Arabs States region. We work with countries to develop integrated water resource management systems; employ more people in water-efficient agricultural production; strengthen social protection so that people can get the food they need in times of hardship; and mitigate and adapt to climate change.
For example:
- In support of Jordan's National Water Strategy, UNDP assisted the Ministry of Water and Irrigation in its efforts to reduce agricultural water abstraction in the highlands;
- In Morocco, UNDP is supporting local partners and building on traditional know-how in the Tafilalet Oasis area to strengthen laws, infrastructure, and capacity for the sustainable use of the region's scarce water resources;
- In Djibouti, we assisted in the introduction of agro-pastoral farming systems in rural communities aimed at improving access to the limited water resource, thereby benefiting farming and pastoral activities and improving livelihoods; and,
- In Sudan, we are working with the Ministry of Agriculture and NGOs to help farmers learn new water harvesting techniques, reduce their dependence on unpredictable water patterns, and enable year-round cultivation of semi-arid land.
It is important to emphasise that the active participation of women is vital for the success of these programmes.
Through policy analysis and advocacy, UNDP has also ensured that water and food issues feature prominently in our overall partnership with the Arab States region. Our Arab Human Development Reports have highlighted the interconnections between these challenges, and have shed light on how demographic trends and climate change will intensify the challenges in the years ahead.
Recently, UNDP's Arab Climate Resilience Initiative (ACRI) has been conducting extensive consultations, supported by research, on the main constraints hindering mitigation of and adaptation to climate change in the region. Among the challenges identified are weak institutional capacity and limited co-operation across the region.
Early next year, UNDP will launch a new report titled Towards Water Security in the Arab Region. Written by water and development experts from the region, it will provide in-depth analysis of water challenges facing the region and recommendations on how to address them.
The report will emphasise the importance of improving water governance. It argues that while the natural supply of water is ecologically determined, water scarcity is also a social construct. Scarcity varies over time, not only as a result of natural processes, but also as a function of policy, planning, and management approaches. Thus, even if water scarcity is expected to intensify, many of its accelerators can be predicted, avoided, or mitigated.
In this respect the report's conclusions are in line with UNDP's view that the key to sustainable development is developing the capacities of national and regional institutions and actors to design and implement policies and programs.
I hope today's discussion on the water and food security challenges facing the Arab States region will focus on the solutions which will help the region strengthen its resilience and help advance broad-based, equitable, and sustainable human development for all.

Global Burden of Neurological Diseases Requires New Approaches
A perspective piece appearing today in the journal JAMA focuses on the challenges and opportunities arising from the increasing global incidence of neurological disorders. The authors advocate for new approaches that will increase access, lower costs, influence lifestyle changes, and create international research and clinical partnerships that address overlooked neurological conditions and underserved global populations.
The piece is authored by University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry neurologists Gretchen Birbeck, M.D. and Robert Griggs, M.D., and Michael Hanna, M.D. with University College London. Birbeck is also member of the Epilepsy Care Team at Chikankata Hospital in Mazabuka, Zambia.
Demographic changes, namely an aging population, and the influence of infectious and chronic diseases is driving an unprecedented growth in disabling neurological disorders. Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability and, in the developing world, causes more deaths than AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria combined. The number of people living with dementia is expected to grow to 115 million by mid-century. In addition to these major disorders, there is a need to address more than 90 percent of neurological diseases that are considered "rare" and those that are unique to the developing world.
The authors point out that much of our current clinical understanding of neurological disorders is based on research conducted in developed populations. This leaves a significant portion of the world's population – particularly those in low-income, tropical countries – underserved in terms of clinical research that focuses on neurological conditions unique to their region. This, coupled with a dearth of neurological expertise in these countries, is a barrier effective care.
The authors use the example of tropical epilepsy, which can be brought about by parasitic infection. While epilepsy is one of the most affordable diseases to effective treat, according the World Bank, 80 percent of the people who suffer from these seizures do not receive adequate treatment and research for this condition is essentially non-existent.
Birbeck and her colleagues contend that the U.S. must rethink its approach to funding research for neurological disorders and open the doors to international collaboration, address the regulatory burden that is a disincentive to progress, and develop training programs that ensure that the next generation of neuroscientists have the perspective and the skills to lead global research endeavors.

Book Flights to Hanoi
Fly to Hanoi with Qatar Airways and discover the bustling and historical city. In the millennium since its founding, Vietnam's capital has remained a draw for visitors. Its mixture of dynastic and colonial history has left a striking mark on its architecture and culture.
Check the price of flights to Hanoi and book Economy or Premium Class flights to Hanoi with Qatar Airways to experience the exuberance of Vietnamese culture amid Eurasian architecture in a tropical climate.
Hanoi highlights
From the museums of Trang Tien and Tong Dan Street, to the eerie Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Hanoi is the home of heritage in Vietnam.
Tourist attractions
If you want to learn about the history of Vietnam during your trip to Hanoi then a good place to start is the National Museum of Vietnamese History on Hanoi's Trang Tien Street. For more happenings, visit the Museum of the Vietnamese Revolution on Tong Dan Street.
But you don't have to visit a museum to get a better understanding of the country. The Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum is a great example of Hanoi's living history, as are the city's many temples, some of which date back almost 1,000 years. Explore the streets of the Old Quarter and you'll discover Hanoi as it was more than a century ago.
Leisure activities
Your trip to Hanoi will give you the chance to explore the rich culture of Vietnam, and a visit to a water puppet theatre, such as the one on Dinh Tien Hoang Street, is a must. Water puppet shows blend traditional music and folklore with puppetry and modern-day special effects.
If you want to recreate Vietnamese cuisine on your return home, then take a cooking class in Hanoi. To see more of the city at your own pace you can rent a bicycle or motorbike from one of the many rental firms in the city.
Vietnam is famous for its noodle soup, and Hanoi is the ideal place to try it. The soups provide a great introduction to the country's cuisine and are available in many combinations, including pho bo (beef) and pho ga (chicken). Savoury and sweet street foods are in ample supply, but be aware that hygiene standards can vary from vendor to vendor.
Hanoi also has a wide range of restaurants to suit a variety of tastes in the Old Quarter and elsewhere. Menus are renowned for being particularly long, and unusual delicacies are commonly on offer.
If you're looking for traditional Vietnamese fashions and crafts, as mementos of your travel to Hanoi then head to one of the city's numerous markets, such as Hang Da or Dong Xuan. For shopping later in the day, try the Night Market. Be prepared to barter, as most market sellers will begin by asking for a higher price than they expect to receive, particularly when dealing with tourists.

The Wahlberg brothers - Mark, Donnie and Paul - are facing a lawsuit from their Massachusetts-based Wahlburgers burger chain business partners and family friends, who claim the Wahlberg brothers left them out of plans to grow the business.
According to the Boston Globe, William "Billy" Leonard and Edward St. Croix claim in the lawsuit they were pivotal in the creation of the chain.
The first Wahlburgers restaurant opened up in Hingham, Massachusetts in 2011, with Leonard and St. Croix having ownership stake.
In-depth news coverage of the Greater Boston Area.
The lawsuit alleges the Wahlberg brothers worked together to eliminate Leonard and St. Croix from the chain over the next few years by reducing ownership stake and leaving them out of expansion plans.
According to the Globe, a spokeswoman for Wahlburgers Corporate Headquarters said in a statement that the lawsuit is unfounded.

'RUNAWAYS' PARTY SCOOP! K-Stew Ditched Her Dress For Jeans & Converse!
Kristen Stewart always manages to look stunning and girly on the red carpet — but her pretty dresses don't stay on for long!
She wears them all the time for her red carpets and fancy parties, but the truth is, Kristen Stewart hates to wear a dress!
HollywoodLife.com was at the NYC premiere of The Runaways Mar. 17, where Kristen looked stunning in her strapless, silver, sequined mini-dress! But as soon as it was time to hit the afterparty at The Bowery Hotel Terrace, Kristen changed into her classic look: dark skinny jeans, a loose-fitting white T-shirt and her Converse sneakers!
At the party, we saw Kristen and Dakota huddled together on the terrace talking intently all night alongside rock 'n' roll legend Joan Jett. And Joan was looking around protectively all night, making sure nobody came up to bother the actresses. The only one allowed to approach them was actress Chloe Sevigny!
The party which was hosted by Tommy Hilfiger and Quintessentially was filled with music legends and celebs including Cherie Currie and Debbie Harry, fashion designers Zac Posen and Richie Rich, Liv Tyler's mom Bebe Buell, Zach Braff, Kirstie Alley, and model Alessandra Ambrosio, were also celebrating at the event.
And of course, remember — this isn't the first time Kristen has done a quick change between the red carpet and the afterparty! After Robert Pattinson's Mar. 1 Remember Me premiere, she slipped out of her stilettos and dress, and into jeans and — yep! — her classic converse.

American rapper Ludacris says he has "a huge crush" on supermodel Heidi Klum, the host of Sunday's MTV European music awards show.
Ludacris, alt-pop trio Fun and Canadian singer-songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen took a rehearsal break to attend a press briefing Saturday ahead of the MTV EMA in Frankfurt. Joined by Klum, all talk turned to the upcoming festivities.
Ludacris said he felt "blessed" to be in Frankfurt and saw the awards as a chance to "give back to the global fans" — and also get near Klum. The rapper will exclusively premiere his new music video "Rest of My Life," featuring Usher and David Guetta, during the show.
U.S. & World
Also taking the stage will be Jepsen, who soared to the top of the charts with hit song "Call Me Maybe" and has three nominations. She said she is already "falling a little bit in love with Frankfurt."
Others performing will include Taylor Swift, Muse, No Doubt, Alicia Keys, Pitbull, Psy and The Killers. Also in the line-up is Fun, who said they would get "pretty giddy" if they bumped into The Killers backstage because they are huge fans.
Klum, meanwhile, was excited to cross paths with Psy, the South Korean phenomenon, and admitted she and her children are partial to his "Gangnam Style" dancing.
The 19th annual MTV EMA will broadcast live Sunday from Frankfurt's historic Festhalle.

After some false starts to her career, Lucy Punch is poised for a breakout thanks to a couple of spot-on comedic performances, including one in Woody Allen's latest film, "You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger."
In this new film, Punch plays Charmaine, a blonde bombshell of a prostitute hired by and ultimately married to the much older Alfie, played by Anthony Hopkins, who has just gotten out of a decades-long marriage and is desperate to recapture his youth.
Punch, who earlier this year went toe-to-toe with Steve Carell in "Dinner for Schmucks," this time holds her own against Hopkins. From the blue-collar accent to the smarter-than-she-seems guile, she provides some of the film's funniest and most insightful moments.
U.S. & World
So the obvious question for Punch would be, did she watch Mira Sorvino's performance in "Mighty Aphrodite" for inspiration?
"I told some friends I was doing this film... You know, you're not supposed to talk about the part or the script, but it had been in the press that it was going to be this person and it was like, 'Oh, it's going to be like 'Mighty Aphrodite.'' It was like, 'S***, that's sort of a tough act to follow.'
"And also, I don't even want to follow it, I'd like to do something different. But I did watch her opening scene on YouTube and was amused -- I still haven't asked (Allen about it ) yet -- to discover that one of our first lines, we share pretty much the same first line, which is in explaining our profession, both her character and my character, says, 'But basically, I'm an actress.'" (see it here at about the 2:45 mark)
There's a brief pause as Punch lets her own words sink in. A moment later she's processed them.

Witnesses say the woman who was killed after being thrown from a roller coaster in Texas was concerned that her lap restraint didn't work. NBC's Charles Hadlock reports.
The investigation of the death of a woman on a roller coaster at Six Flags Over Texas will be led by Six Flags itself, because there's no state or federal agency responsible for enforcing the safety of amusement parks.
Rosy Ayala-Goana of Dallas died Friday night when she fell from the Texas Giant, which is billed as the world's steepest wooden roller coaster.
Six Flags initially said in a statement that it was "working with authorities" to figure out what happened. But it later had to admit that it was running the investigation itself because there are no authorities to work with.
No federal agency has legal authority to enforce safety standards. And Texas is one of at least 17 states that have no agency responsible for inspecting amusement park rides, according to NBC News' survey of state codes in all 50 states.
While he was previously in the House, Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., introduced legislation every congressional session to establish federal regulation of amusement park rides beginning in 1999. But the measure never passed.
Markey renewed his call Sunday for federal regulation of "roller coasters that hurtle riders at extreme speeds along precipitous drops."
"A baby stroller is subject to tougher federal regulation than a roller coaster carrying a child in excess of 100 miles per hour," Markey said in a statement. "This is a mistake."
The Texas Giant, a 14-story-high, 4,900-feet-long roller coaster that is among the premier attractions at the park in Arlington, Texas, remains closed until Six Flags concludes its investigation, a park spokeswoman said. The park gave no timetable for reporting any information.
Nadine Kelley, who had been waiting in line for the ride Friday night, told NBC 5 of Dallas that riders who were sitting behind the woman said that "right when they came down off the first bump and hit that first turn, she flew out."
The woman was accompanied by two children, who were "hysterical," Kelley said. "They were saying that their mother flew out of the car."
"It was sad. It was very sad," she said. "We kept telling them to let them out because they were hysterical. The daughter and the son said, 'We have to go get my mom. We have to go get my mom.' We were kind of in disbelief, and we just said a prayer for her."
Alfred Cannon, Ayala-Goana's next-door neighbor, said Ayala-Goana was "an incredible mother to those kids."
NBCDFW: Neighbors recall woman who died on Six Flags coaster
Texas: Safety certificate 'not an endorsement' of safety
The Texas Giant is what's called a "super hybrid" — a roller coaster with traditional wooden components that rides on steel tracks.
"This track allows us to do much more with a wooden structure: steeper drops, steeper banks," Fred Grubb, president of Rocky Mountain Construction of Hayden, Idaho, said after his company rebuilt the ride two years ago.
The rebuilding deepened the ride's first drop to 79 degrees and banked several of its turns beyond 95 degrees, with one reaching 115 degrees, Grubb told Funworld, the magazine of the International Association for Amusement Parks and Attractions.
An independent inspection of the new ride would have been conducted by the Texas Insurance Department. But the department won't be part of the death investigation because the park's insurance isn't in question.
That's the case even though the Amusement Safety Organization, based in Montecito, Calif., had previously recorded four "significant injuries" on the ride this year, after having recorded seven last year. Nearly all were for whiplash-like neck injuries, it said.
Meanwhile, federal oversight and statistics on amusement park safety are almost nonexistent.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and the National Safety Council both cite amusement park safety standards set by the American Society for Testing and Materials, but those standards are voluntary.
In Texas, the Insurance Department is responsible for setting regulations for amusement park rides. It requires an annual safety inspection certifying that ride meets ASTM standards. Texas law specifies that the inspection must be carried out by an inspector hired by the insurance company — not by any government authority.
To drive home the point that Texas isn't responsible for the safety of any roller coaster, the Insurance Department states: "Recognition by the Department that the amusement ride has satisfied these standards is not an endorsement by the Department or a statement regarding the safe operation of the amusement ride."
"There's absolutely no federal oversight, no state investigative oversight or any local investigative oversight," Ken Martin, an independent inspector and consultant on amusement park rides from Richmond, Va., told NBC News.
"It sounds like the fox guarding the henhouse to me," Martin said.
As of December, eight states required no permits or inspections for amusement park rides, according to a survey of state codes in all 50 states by NBC News:
- Alabama
- Mississippi
- Montana
- South Dakota
- Utah
- Vermont
- West Virginia
- Wyoming
In addition to Texas, six states accepted inspections from park-employed or -contracted inspectors or park insurance companies:
Florida doesn't inspect permanent facilities that employ 1,000 or more full-time employees and maintain their own safety inspectors.
Minnesota allows inspections by inspectors contracted by the park or by the State Agricultural Society.
Charles Hadlock of NBC News contributed to this report.

There are a lot of good themes for gtk2+ out there, but only a few xfwm4 themes and I don't really like the separation of window borders and window content. So is it possible to disable xfwm4 and only use gtk2+ as window manager?
Or is it at least possible to fully convert gtk2+ themes to work with xfwm4? Cause in my appearance settings I have a lot of good themes installed (in: /usr/share/themes) but my window borders use the theme from "window manager".
I tried to deactivate xfwm4 in the terminal (killall xfwm4) but it automatically restarted xfwm4 again :-(
It isn't really possible, but u can use metacity (Gnome WM). It should be better (but it isn't part of Xfce4)
metacity --replace
I think I could also install Compiz/Emerald?
But the best option for performance is probably to stay with fwm4 so I'm not going to install compiz. But thanks anyway.
I don't really like the separation of window borders and window content.
I was having a miserable time catching the (1px) border of windows to drag resize them.
Changing the "theme" didn't seem to help...
...took quite a while for me to stumble onto the "oh, window borders are setup separately, over HERE" dialog.
If Gtk would handle the window manager themes, then the application itself would provide the borders. Side affect would be that if the application is working (not in mainloop) you cannot resize or drag the window.
you can always create new xfwm4 themes with wider borders ... i have created several themes ... even ported over several metacity themes for PCLinuxOS and my Phoenix and Phinx releases ... i think it is great that they are separated ... means less confusion when creating new themes ...

Welcome family researchers! I have been searching for ancestors and their kin since 2000 and have had some successes and some stumbling blocks, some fun and some frustrations. This search is one of my true passions. In the beginning, I spent so much time. Now I am homeschooling my kids, so my time is much more limited. I will try to respond to your e-mails, but please be patient and persistent. Unless your search in someone whose last name is Rich, everything I have is here on the site. Good luck with your own search and enjoy perusing this site.
Family is everything. It defines you--the heart of your spirit, the heritage of your smile, not only the color of your eyes but how they see the world.You are bound by kinship. You add your own link to the chain, and that is where you strengthen or weaken what you have been blessed--or burdened--with. That is where you use the indefinable quality that belongs to only you, the bit of uniqueness you pass on to your children for good or bad, the part of you that will always be separate from those who share your name, your blood, and your past.

I was intrigued by the Russells' decision to let several scenes play out in one long, uninterrupted take, which is well-suited to dialogue-driven character comedy such as this. ...
Son of a Seahorse works as a quirky, off-beat indie comedy, sometimes raunchy but often good-natured.
And while we're keeping the phrase "quirky, off-beat indie comedy" as far away from the DVD cover as possible, we did appreciate his review.
Simon Abrams-- who, as he discloses at the top of his consideration, is a friend of ours (though we've never met)-- also had some kind words to say about the film, over at Extended Cut, claiming to be
impressed by the way that writing/directing duo Tom and Mary Russell used such a broad style of acting to make a movie filled with jokes consistently uncomfortable. David Schonscheck plays up Nick Kilpatrick's mercurial attitude by constantly over-acting. In any other context, this would be grating but the longer the film goes on, the more apparent it becomes that the Russells are trying to alienate you. If anyone needed proof that a character study doesn't need to follow a sympathetic character in order to be ingratiating or even just satisfying, this is the film. A worthy descendant of King of Comedy.
What I think emerges from these two reviews, and the three (two negative, one positive) that have preceded it, is that the film is one that can be looked at in different ways. A. A. Dowd said that
The Russells are [not] cut from any shape or variety of traditional Hollywood cloth. These two are loud and proud indie guerillas. They favor marathon takes and lengthy digressions, long shots and longer conversations. It's tempting to lump them into the mumblecore camp, except their sense of humor is somehow both drier and broader, with an affinity for garish caricatures and bizarro non-sequitors. ...
Son of a Seahorse is all over the map. It sets up Nick as a kind of perpetual straight man, and then subjects him to the judgments, scolds, rants and taunts of various weirdos and walk-ins. Schonscheck has a certain hangdog charisma, but he's also inconsistent. His performance seems to fluctuate in proportion to his co-stars, who range from accomplished improvisers to transparent amateurs. The first scene, for example, works like gangbusters, mostly because Schonscheck is evenly matched by Swanberg. A later encounter with a raving lunatic (Tom Russell himself, moonlighting as an authentically unhinged cameo player) establishes the lead as a skilled comic foil. He's undone, alas, by some faulty support– from lisping cartoon bit actors to deer-in-headlights non-professionals. (I definitely could have done without the tired There Will Be Blood parody, too.) ...
If Son of a Seahorse often seems like a different movie scene to scene, its saving grace is its uniting principle: that marriage is the most rewarding pain in the ass you'll ever willfully subject yourself to. It's hard not to have a certain affection for any film that deals with married life in a way that's neither cloying nor rigorously cynical. The Russells, husband and wife filmmakers with a word or two to share on the subject, invest their hit-or-miss comic enterprise with an endearing breadth of genuine feeling.
Nick Rombes (author of Cinema in the Digital Age) gave the film its shortest but possibly most complimentary public review, over on twitter, where he called it "a hilarious, terrifying film."
And then there's the Filmrogue (not to be confused with the above-linked Rogue Cinema) podcast review, which basically accuses us not only of incompetence but, I guess somewhat amusingly, fraud. (The link that pops up in a google search is, perhaps thankfully, broken.)
Like I said: diverse opinions. Hopefully this will translate into more interest in the film when the DVD is re-released in the next few months.

Lowes Tries To Silence Sucks Site For Complaints About Lowes
from the did-someone-call-Streisand's-name? deptWe've covered a variety of cases involving so-called "sucks sites," where someone registers as a domain name the name of a company and appends sucks to the end in order to create a complaint site. Companies have often complained that these sites are trademark violations, but that usually doesn't pass the moron in a hurry test. The latest such case involves home improvement store Lowes. A guy who bought a fence from them was upset that the installers botched the job. Lowes refused to take responsibility, so he set up a site at Lowes-Sucks.com and promptly received a cease and desist from the company claiming trademark violation. While early on, a few companies were able to get sucks sites shut down, it's become a lot rarer, as judges tend to recognize that criticism is perfectly legitimate -- and no one is likely to confuse a sucks site as being endorsed by the company. In the meantime, of course, in sending out such a cease and desist, Lowes has just drawn a lot more attention to the fact that they won't take responsibility for the botched fence install. Wouldn't it have just been better for business to fix the damn fence?
