Dan Walters: San Diego's weird politics on display again
San Diego is a beautiful and prosperous city, but its politics can be downright weird.
Case in point: Former Mayor Bob Filner pleaded guilty Tuesday to crimes arising from multiple complaints of sexual harassment on the same day that mail voting opened to decide who would succeed him.
For decades, a business-oriented power structure largely decided who would fill the city's major offices, but liberals thought they had finally achieved parity when Filner, a liberal firebrand congressman, won the mayoralty last year.
However, Filner was infected with the same scandal virus that had afflicted several of his conservative predecessors. Within months of his inauguration, a bevy of women stepped forward with sordid tales of sexual harassment, eventually forcing Filner to resign.
A special election to fill the office will culminate on Nov. 19, and San Diego's underlying political dynamics again are in play.
Carl DeMaio, a conservative city councilman who lost the 2012 mayoral contest to Filner, was clearly interested in running again, even though he had already segued into a 2014 bid for Congress.
But the power structure opted, instead, for Councilman Kevin Faulconer, a moderate in the ideological mold of most pre-Filner mayors.
The union/liberal opposition immediately splintered.
Many true-believers backed Councilman David Alvarez, but more pragmatic politicians and union leaders settled on Nathan Fletcher, a one-time Republican state legislator who had also run for mayor in 2012, as their best chance to win.
Meanwhile, former City Attorney Mike Aguirre's quixotic candidacy fragmented the left even more.
The factional infighting has been downright nasty.
When Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez endorsed Fletcher, for example, the head of the local American Federation of Teachers organization issued a public condemnation, saying her position "undermines ... the progressive coalition you worked hard to build (and) calls into question your own political judgment and integrity."
In turn, Gonzalez said the union official, Jim Mahler, was trying "to bully me through insults and downright lies."
With the Republican/business establishment united behind Faulconer and the Democrat/union opposition fractured, the outcome is very much in doubt. A recent poll shows Fletcher leading Faulconer, but not by much. As with all special elections, voter turnout is a huge unknown factor.
If no candidate gets a majority on Nov. 19, a second election will decide it early next year. At this moment, the most likely outcome is a Fletcher-Faulconer runoff. And whoever becomes the mayor of California's second largest city will immediately catapult into future contention for major statewide office – if he can avoid the scandal virus that has infected the office.

A week ago, I taught the 10th grade at the San Francisco Waldorf High School about birth and midwifery. Two students sent in their essays. Thank you to Isabel Dow and Madison Evans for contributing to this blog. And, by the way, Aubrey had her baby at home, yesterday! A girl!
Maria's Classroom Visit
by Isabel Dow
I had been looking forward to Maria's visit for over a week, and was so excited when Maria found time to come to our class. Last week she had to cancel to attend a birth. I was not disappointed one bit by her visit, and loved feeling how passionate she was about her midwifery. Two days before her visit, our Embryology teacher, Dr. Burkett had led us through all the frightening details of birth, so I thought I knew what I was in for, gritting my teeth in anticipation. While Maria was talking to us and asking us for our input and opinions, my views on birth began to shift. Through her loving, vivid descriptions of the birth process, I realized that the pain of labor pales compared to the bright glowing joy that comes with birth.
After a short discussion, Maria showed a video of a water birth. In it, the mother suffered through many intense contractions, which looked extremely painful. When the baby finally came out, I watched as the mother, all pain and suffering aside, lifted her child to her chest as pride and joy filled her whole being. I laughed with happiness for her. That was the moment that I realized why mothers are so willing to go through pregnancy and birth, for the sake of a new miraculous birth.
After recovering from watching the video, we put on gloves, and Maria showed us, and let us feel, a real placenta and umbilical cord. Although my stomach heaved at first, my curiosity allowed me to move passed that, and I experienced it totally.
Next we moved over to the couch, where a pregnant woman, her due date coming up any day, lay smiling. She was so kind, letting us prod her tummy, feeling her baby's bum and hearing its heart beat. Sensing this was an amazing experience, I couldn't believe I was actually hearing and feeling the baby!
Having Maria visit changes my view of birth radically. Before she came, birthing a baby seemed shockingly scary and horrible. However, now I have realized how wonderful it must be to create and nurture a life within ones own body. Although there is much pain involved, it is all definitely worth the effort.
A Visit from the Midwife
by Madison Evans
I enjoyed and learned a lot from the midwife's visit. Seeing a video of a mother giving birth helped me realize that birth is natural and amazing. Feeling the baby in its mother's uterus and hearing the heartbeat helped me realize the wonder that there is a real baby living inside the mother's womb. I thought touching the placenta was really interesting and cool because it is rare that you can see and feel something that comes from inside our body. After learning so much about the placenta through our class, it was really neat to see it for myself. Learning about water birth was very interesting. I don't think water birth is for everyone but I do think it is important that the mother at least knows the person who is going to help her give birth. Before Maria came, I never thought about the baby having good or bad experiences during birth. Now that I have thought about it, I do think it is important for a baby to be born into a good environment with both of its parents there. I now have a new appreciation for pregnant mothers and the birth process.

International Fleet Review viewed from space
In 1805 the British, French and Spanish navies fought at the Battle of Trafalgar, a British victory marred by the death of Lord Nelson. Two hundred years later, ships from all three countries joined together with those of another 33 countries for an International Fleet Review.
Much has changed in the past 200 years; Britain, France and Spain are now close allies, and all three countries are members of the European Union and Member States of the European Space Agency.
To mark this historic occasion, satellite images were taken by the Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR) on board ESA's Earth Observation Envisat satellite. From space it is possible to see the ships of many nations gathering in the Solent off Portsmouth in preparation for the International Fleet Review.
Tuesday's review is the largest that has ever taken place. Altogether 167 vessels from 36 countries, and between 25 000 and 30 000 sailors, took part. Among them ships from India, Japan, South Korea, Pakistan, Nigeria and South Africa. The ships had been arriving in the Solent for days, together with thousands of spectator yachts.
The largest ship to grace the event was FS Charles de Gaulle, pride of the French fleet. When she arrived on Sunday her 21 "canon de salut" rang out across the water in greeting. Onboard the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier was Vice Admiral Jacques Mazars. Looking at the spectacle he said: "To be part of a parade of 160 ships is a once in a lifetime opportunity".
It took around two hours for Queen Elizabeth to sail up and down the lines of anchored vessels. The Queen reviewed the ships of many nations from a specially constructed viewing platform onboard the British polar survey ship, HMS Endurance. Following the review there was a sail past of tall ships, an air display and a sail past of hundreds of small yachts and craft that had come to Portsmouth to take part in the event.
The climax came in the evening when a mock battle took place between 17 historic ships from five countries, demonstrating how sea battles were fought in the time of Nelson and Napoleon. This ended with a huge firework display representing the massive storm that struck at the end of the 1805 battle.
This event follows a long English tradition of reviews of the fleet dating back to medieval times. The first was held by Henry V in 1415 and the last one took place in 1977 to mark the Queen's Silver Jubilee.

Best Car I have ever owned!
By Timmer on Sunday, September 10, 2017I purchased a 2014 Impala LT in November 2013. Great ride, plenty of power (V6), excellent fuel economy (28-31). Still get compliments every week on this car. Huge trunk, fits four sets of golf clubs, and easily 5 adults. No maintenance problems whatsoever. One minor factory fix on a tail like leak. This car is super quiet , comfortable. Still have factory tires at 43K. Will change them soon as they are starting to get a little noisy. Plenty of leg room in back for passengers. Handling is great in wind, but marginal in snow.

Outstanding car
By Jim B. on Thursday, January 11, 2018We have owned this car for two months now. We have taken it on several short highway trips of about 100 miles round trip and really enjoyed driving it. Last weekend we took it on a getaway and drove about 350 miles each way. We have always owned comfortable cars. (Olds 98s, Grand Marquis, GMC Crew Cab, etc.) This car is more comfortable than any of the others. At the end of our trip we could not believe how good we felt. No ride fatigue at all! The ride of the Impala is incredibly smooth and quiet. Really like the blind spot warning. The seats are very comfortable and adjust easily to my 6 feet 3 inch frame as well as to my wifes 5 feet 2 inches. This is the first car I have ever driven in which I did not have to put the drivers seat all the way back to drive it. There is also great room in the back seat and the trunk is larger than would be expected. I cant say enough about this vehicle.

Best car I've ever owned
By Kriegsfalle on Saturday, July 20, 2019Out of the more than 20 vehicles that I've owned this Impala is far and away the best. The ride is superb and the seats are comfortable, even on long trips. The most impressive aspect is the performance of the 305 horsepower V6. When dealing with left lane hogs on the interstate the power and acceleration is very satisfying. Adults can actually fit in the back seat.

AMF::Connection - A simple library to write AMF clients.
use AMF::Connection;
my $endpoint = 'http://myserver.com/flex/amf/'; #AMF server/gateway
my $service = 'myService';
my $method = 'myMethod';
my $client = new AMF::Connection( $endpoint );
$client->setEncoding(3); # use AMF3 default AMF0
$client->setHTTPCookieJar( HTTP::Cookies->new(file => "/tmp/mycookies.txt", autosave => 1, ignore_discard => 1 ) );
my @params = ( 'param1', { 'param2' => 'value2' } );
my $response = $client->call( "$service.$method", \@params );
if ( $response->is_success ) {
my $result_object = $response->getData();
# ...
} else {
die "Can not send remote request for $service.$method method on $endpoint\n";
my @response = $client->callBatch ( { "operation" => $service.$method", "arguments" => \@params }, ... );
I was looking for a simple Perl module to automate data extraction from an existing Flash+Flex/AMS application, and I could not find a decent client implementation. So, this module was born based on available online documentation.
This module has been inspired to SabreAMF PHP implementation of AMF client libraries.
AMF::Connection is meant to provide a simple AMF library to write client applications for invocation of remote services as used by most flex/AIR RIAs.
The module includes basic support for synchronous HTTP/S based RPC request-response access, where the client sends a request to the server to be processed and the server returns a response to the client containing the processing outcome. Data is sent back and forth in AMF binary format (AMFChannel). Other access patterns such as pub/sub and channels transport are out of scope of this inital release.
AMF0 and AMF3 support is provided using the Storable::AMF module. While HTTP/S requestes to the AMF endpoint are carried out using the LWP::UserAgent module. The requests are sent using the HTTP POST method as AMF0 encoded data by default. AMF3 encoding can be set using the setEncoding() method. Simple AMF3 Externalized Object support is provided on returned objects from the server. Objects returned are simply left in bless( { ... }, 'something') form and they could be mapped to local to the client abstractions if needed.
If encoding is set to AMF3 the Flex Messaging framework is used on returned responses content (I.e. objects casted to "flex.messaging.messages.AcknowledgeMessage" and "flex.messaging.messages.ErrorMessage" are returned).
Simple batch requests and responses is provided also.
See the sample usage synopsis above to start using the module.
The latest 0.79 version of Storable::AMF added basic date support with the new_date() and perl_date() utilitiy functions. This is just great. Internally an AMF Date Type represents a timestamp in milliseconds since the epoch in UTC ("neutral") timezone, and since Storable::AMF version 0.79 the module shields the user from that by automatically converting Date values to Perl double (number) scalar values. Users which require AMF Date support should import the new_date() and perl_date() date manipulation functions into their code like:
use Storable::AMF qw(new_date perl_date);
and make sure any date passed to an AMF::Connection as parameter is encoded with new_date().
There is still an issue when arbitrary Date structures are returned from an AMF server to an AMF::Connection (E.g. as part of values of structured AMF Objects). In this case, the AMF::Connection does not try to reparse the Perl object structure returned by Storable::AMF (see thaw()), plus the Storable::AMF module thaw() function does simply deserialise AMF Date Type as number (double) of *milli* seconds since the epoch, and the perl_date() function must be called on each returned value instead. The Storable::AMF module author says that there were other issues in enoforcing a conversion (division by 1000) of the AMF server side (and controlled) timestamp values on each thaw() automatically; hopefully future releases of the module will address this problem.
All this means that an AMF::Connection client application can not rely on those Date returned by the server as being Perl timestamps (seconds since the epoch) and will need explicitly call perl_date() or divide the timestamp by 1000 *explicitly*.
USING OLD Storable::AMF VERSIONS
In older versions (pre 0.79) of Storable::AMF there was no support for the AMF0/AFM3 Date Type, and everything was being passed as string to the server (E.g. "2010-09-22T02:34:00"). Or as double (number) if the date was in timestamp seconds since the epoch. This meant that an AMF::Connection in order to send a date (E.g. as parameter) had to multiply (or divide) by 1000 the timestamp (E.g. for $perl_timestamp=time(); my $amf_timestamp = $perl_timestamp*1000 vs. my $perl_timestamp = $amf_timestamp/1000), plus rely on the AMF server to cast timestamp AMF Numbers to Dates (I.e. which seems to work on most AMF servers in Java which cast Number to java.util.Date() or similar).
By combining the power of Perl bless {}, $package_name syntax and the Storable::AMF freeze()/thaw() interface, it is possible to pass arbitrary structured AMF Objects the corresponding AMF server can interpret. This is possible due a simple Perl object reference to an hash is serialised to an AMF Object and can be mapped back on the server side.
This means that an AMF::Connection application can wrap all ActionScript / Flex AMF Objects around Perl Objects and get them sent; and returned into a Perl object BLOB using the power of Storable::AMF freeze()/thaw().A
For example to send a SearchQueryFx AMF Object to the server an AMF::Connection advanced search call(), the following code could be used:
my $client = new AMF::Connection ( ... );
# ... prepare parameters...
my $searchAMFObject = bless( { 'searchId' => $searchId, 'startHit' => int($startHit), 'searchString' => $searchString, 'hitsPerPage' => ($hitsPerPage) ? int($hitsPerPage) : 20, 'sortId' => $sortId, }, 'com.mycompany.application.flex.data.SearchQueryFx');
my $response = $client->call( "MySearchSevice.searchAdvanced", [ $searchAMFObject ] );
For other Java to ActionScript type mappings possibilities see http://livedocs.adobe.com/blazeds/1/javadoc/flex/messaging/io/amf/ActionMessageOutput.html#writeObject(java.lang.Object)
For PHP gateways at the moment there is not a known/documented way to map client to server objects.
Future versions of AMF::Connection may add a proper configurable factory for application specific ActionScript/Flex object mappings.
new ($endpoint)
Create new AMF::Connection object. An endpoint can be specified as the only parameter. Or set in a second moment with the setEndpoint() method.
call ($operation, $arguments)
Call the remote service method with given parameters/arguments on the set endpoint and return an AMF::Connection::MessageBody response. Or an array of responses if requsted (wantarray call scope). The $arguments is generally an array reference, but this version of the AMF::Connection code allows other object types too.
callBatch (@batch)
Call the remote service once in batch. Each element of @batch must be an hash like { "operation" => $operation, "arguments" => $arguments }, where $operation and $arguments are as specified in
call. The commands are called and responses returned in order as in @batch.
setEndpoint ($endpoint)
Set the AMF service endpoint.
getEndpoint ()
Return the AMF service endpoint.
setEncoding ($encoding)
Set the AMF encoding to use.
getEncoding ()
Return the AMF encoding in use.
setHTTPProxy ($proxy)
Set the HTTP/S proxy to use. If LWP::Protocol is installed SOCKS proxies are supported.
getHTTPProxy ()
Return the HTTP/S procy in use if any.
addHeader ($header[, $value, $required])
Add an AMF AMF::Connection::MessageHeader to the requests. If $header is a string the header value $value and $required flag can be specified.
addHTTPHeader ($name, $value)
Add an HTTP header to sub-sequent HTTP requests.
setUserAgent ($ua)
Allow to specify an alternative LWP::UserAgent. The $ua must support the post() method, proxy() and cookie_jar() if necessary.
setHTTPCookieJar ($cookie_jar)
Allow to specify an alternative HTTP::Cookies jar. By default AMF::Connection keeps cookies into main-memory and the cookie jar is reset when a new connection is created. When a new cookies jar is set, any existing AMF::Connection cookie is copied over.
getHTTPCookieJar ()
Return the current HTTP::Cookies jar in use.
setCredentials ($username,$password)
Minimal support for AMF authentication. Password seems to be wanted in clear.
setInputAMFOptions ($options)
Set input stream parsing options. See Storable::AMF0 for available options.
setOutputAMFOptions ($options)
Set output stream serialization options. See Storable::AMF0 for available options.
setAMFOptions ($options)
Set input and output options the same. See Storable::AMF0 for available options.
getInputAMFOptions ()
Get input stream parsing options.
getOutputAMFOptions ()
Get output stream serialization options.

I'll look at the Tabletop Sim dedicated server.

Taylor Momsen is best known as "Gossip Girl's" "Little J" – Jenny Humphrey – but the star told Entertainment Weekly she's ready to break out as a rock star.
"[The album is] coming out this summer," she told the mag of her debut album with her band, The Pretty Reckless. "We wrote it as a record, so every song is part of a bigger thing. I don't know—I just want people to hear it!"
The group's first single, "Make Me Wanna Die," soundtracks new movie "Kick-Ass," and Taylor told EW a video is on the way as well.
"It fits the song. It's very dark," she said. "It's a tragic love song. It's Romeo and Juliet—can't live without your lover so you die."
While Taylor and her long blonde locks have been compared to fellow rocker Courtney Love, the star said she'd rather be Courtney's late husband.
"I don't wanna be Courtney Love – I want to be Kurt Cobain," she said of the Nirvana frontman. "He's brilliant and his songs are genius."
However, she didn't diss Courtney's band.
"The Hole records are great," she said, explaining that their seemingly shared style was just a coincidence. "Don't a lot of girls dress like that?"
The 16-year-old star is already making style statements of her own.
"I don't really like pants, man. I like tights. I'm not really a pants person," she said.
As Season 3 of The CW series draws to a close – and The Pretty Reckless plans to tour — Taylor's future on "Gossip Girl" is up in the air.
"I've been acting since I was 2," she said. "I don't dislike it by any means, but it's a job to me. Music is who I am."
Though she's not the only singer on the "Gossip Girl" set — co-star Leighton Meester released has released two singles since October 2009 — don't expect to hear a Jenny/Blair collaboration any time soon.
"I'm not really close with my cast. We're all cordial and nice to each other, but we're not really friends outside of the set," Taylor said. "And we're doing a different thing: [Leighton is] putting out a pop record, which is awesome."

Regulators OK BlackRock's Copper ETF
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
The Securities & Exchange Commission has given the go-ahead for another exchange-traded fund that would store copper in a vault, moving ahead over the objections of industrial users of the metal.
BlackRock's (BLK) iShares exchange-traded fund unit was given the greenlight to launch iShares Copper Trust in a regulatory filing dated Friday. The plan and a similar one by J.P. Morgan Chase (JPM) have together stoked opposition among end users of the metal, some of whom predict a supply crunch. Regulators have argued that the funds' copper stockpiles wouldn't disrupt the supply of copper available for immediate delivery.
Read here a three-page summary of the objections by copper end-users including Southwire Co. and Encore Wire Corp. (WIRE).
Here's how the SEC handles this issue in last week's filing, which is a worthwhile read if you've ever wondered about the cause-and-effect of building exchange-traded funds. The SEC isn't convinced that this one will harm prices.
The Commission does not believe that the listing and trading of the Shares is likely to increase the likelihood of manipulation of the copper market and, correspondingly, of the price of the Shares. Generally, the Commission believes that increased transparency helps mitigate risks of manipulation. For example, in approving the listing and trading of shares of the iShares Silver Trust, the Commission stated that the dissemination of information about the silver shares would "facilitate transparency with respect to the Silver Shares and diminish the risk ofmanipulation or unfair informational advantage." In this case, the Commission believes the transparency that the Trust will provide with respect to its holdings, as well as the dissemination of quotations for and last-sale prices of transactions in the Shares and the IIV and NAV of the Trust, all are expected to help reduce the ability of market participants to manipulate the physical copper market or the price of Shares.
Also, the Commission believes that the listing and trading of the Shares on the Exchange (and any other national securities exchange that trades the Shares pursuant to unlisted trading privileges) may serve to make the overall copper market more transparent if OTC trading of unreported warehouse receipts shifts to trading Shares on exchanges....
The commenter asserts that serious disruptions in the supply of copper would make corners and squeezes more likely. As discussed above, the Commission does not believe that the listing and trading of the Shares is likely to disrupt the supply of copper available for immediate delivery.
Depending on the size of the Trust though, it is possible that copper holdings may be dispersed across an additional market – i.e., less copper may be held under LME and/or COMEX warrant and more copper may be held by the Trust. However, the availability of inter-market arbitrage is expected to help mitigate any potential increase in the ability of market participants to engage in corners or squeezes as a result of any dispersion of copper holdings across markets (as distinguished from a reduction in the copper supply).

Release Date: June 4, 2014
BUFFALO, N.Y. – Eight companies have been selected as the inaugural group of START-UP NY companies relocating on or near the University at Buffalo campuses, New York State Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced today.
Under the governor's START-UP NY program, the eight companies are receiving major tax incentives to relocate to, start-up or expand in Buffalo through their affiliation with UB.
Each of the companies has strong ties to the university and range from a German life sciences firm to a developer of software for wearable devices. They are projected to generate a combined 204 jobs over the next five years and will collaborate with UB faculty researchers and students.
"START-UP NY is a very innovative way to connect the strengths of a major research university, like the University at Buffalo, with the expertise and energy of entrepreneurs and businesspeople," said UB President Satish K. Tripathi. "The university is excited to be working closely with these eight companies as they grow, become successful and provide internships and career opportunities for our students and the Western New York community."
START-UP NY stands for SUNY Tax-free Areas to Revitalize and Transform Upstate NY. The statewide program aims to spur economic development by enabling universities to identify areas where new and expanding businesses can operate for 10 years without paying New York State business, corporate, income, sales or property taxes, or franchise fees.
Approved in April by the state, UB's START-UP NY plan designates 175,000 square feet of space as tax-free zones on or near the university's North, South and Downtown campuses. To be eligible, businesses must align with or further the academic mission of the university.
More than 75 companies have expressed serious interest in START-UP NY, said Alexander N. Cartwright, UB vice president for research and economic development, and the university expects agreements with additional companies to be finalized over the next few months.
"START-UP NY is clearly an attractive opportunity for many companies and entrepreneurs," Cartwright said. "When you add it to the exciting progress being made in Buffalo in life sciences research and informatics, advanced manufacturing, nanotechnology and medical care, START-UP NY has the potential to greatly accelerate the growth of Buffalo's knowledge-based economy."
The eight companies announced today are either relocating to Buffalo from outside the state, expanding into new space from local incubators or are new startups spun off from partnerships with UB researchers.
"Buffalo Niagara Enterprise (BNE) is very pleased to work with our partners at the University at Buffalo and Empire State Development to promote START-UP NY and provide economic development assistance to those companies seeking to participate in the program," said BNE President and CEO Thomas Kucharski. "Our colleges and universities are major economic drivers, and a program like START-UP NY serves as a tremendous catalyst for connecting our higher educational assets with the investment and job creation opportunities we are seeking to attract to the region.
"Two successful BNE projects, Sinapis Pharma and Aesku.NY, are among the companies announced today and we are looking forward to more success stories in the future," Kucharski added.
Two of the companies – Aesku.NY and Lineagen – were attracted to Buffalo by the opportunity to partner with UB and the New York Genome Center in the work of the Genomic Medicine Network, which will use supercomputing power to analyze patient genomes and develop personalized medical treatments. The Genomic Medicine Network launched in Buffalo this year with $50 million to UB from the governor's "Buffalo Billion" initiative. The initiative is investing $1 billion in the Buffalo area to spur significant economic growth and create thousands of new jobs.
The eight companies' planned capital investments over the next 5 years total $6,387,000.
UB's eight START-UP NY companies are:

Full, equal participation of women key to tackling hunger
1 July 2010, New York - Women grow more than half of the world's food, yet often lack access to resources such as agricultural inputs, land, financing, technologies, training and markets.
At a side event jointly organized by FAO, the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the World Food Programme (WFP) during the Annual Ministerial Review of the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), participants examined how to overcome critical gaps in the advancement of rural women.
The event, From Dialogue to action: how to promote the empowerment of rural women in agriculture, looked at efforts in a number of countries to take action on critical issues facing rural women.
Count women in
For Liberian Minister of Agriculture Florence Chenoweth, the key to ensuring effective targeting of scarce resources is improved agricultural data collection.
Sex-disaggregated statistics have enabled the government to more accurately target training and inputs to the rural women who produce more than 50 percent of the country's food, she said.
Now, says Chenoweth, "When the trucks leave Monrovia, our capital, for the field, the seed rice says 'women'. The fertilizer says, 'women'. The portion that we have calculated to go to those women is targeted and it is written."
In 2009, the country saw a 43 percent increase in the production of staple crops rice and cassava, Chenoweth said. "So we know that those women were getting some benefit."
'Front and centre'
Patricia Haslach, Deputy Coordinator for Diplomacy of the US Department of State's Feed the Future initiative, said that women are "front and centre" in the U.S. Government's development strategy.
"When women earn more income, they spend more on food and their children's health and nutrition," said Haslach. "By investing more in women, we amplify benefits across families and generations."
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has an addendum to the age-old proverb: "Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, but teach a man to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime," Haslach said.
"If you teach a woman to fish, she'll feed her whole village."
Feed the Future's women-centred approach is not about "giving preference for the sake of giving preference. It's about being effective in implementing our strategy," Haslach said, adding that a robust monitoring and evaluation system would ensure assistance that is "agile, adaptive and evidence-based".
Contributors, not beneficiaries
"Agriculture is production. Production is power, and power is ownership, entitlement," said Neriede Segala Coelho, a grassroots leader and farmer from Brazil.
"As long as women are seen as submissive and restricted to the role of recipient and beneficiary, agriculture will continue to have a large gap," said Coelho. "When women sit at the table to make decisions, the process takes a different shape."
Coelho said that as a result of women's participation in a consultative process in her own community of Pintadas, cisterns were built to store water in every house, and drip irrigation and other low-cost, appropriate technologies were introduced to improve production and women's living conditions, generate income and use resources more sustainably.
Supporting Haitian women
Myrta Kaulard, WFP Country Director for Haiti, discussed how IFAD, FAO and WFP were working together to strengthen Haitian women's access to adequate food and nutrition, income-earning opportunities, and basic services and infrastructure by integrating social investments, such as water and sanitation, health and education into agricultural and rural economic programmes.
Summing up the discussion and stressing the importance of concerted action, Cheryl Morden, Director of IFAD's North American Liaison Office, called on an African adage: "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."
The UN food agencies hope that the economic empowerment of rural women will figure prominently in September's UN Summit to review progress towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), including MDG 1 to end poverty and hunger and MDG 3 to promote gender equality and empower women.
FAO Deputy Director-General Jim Butler encouraged participants to support FAO's 1billionhungry project, urging governments to make eradication of hunger a top priority.

Major league home runs leader Jose Abreu of the White Sox has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with tendinitis in his left ankle.
The 27-year-old rookie first baseman left Saturday night's game against the Astros in Houston with a limp in the seventh inning. Abreu set rookie records for home runs (10), RBIs (32), extra-base hits and total bases in April.
He is hitting .260 with 15 homers and 41 RBIs in 44 games.
Manager Robin Ventura said Sunday that Abreu is in Chicago for further evaluation.
Outfielder Adam Eaton will be called up from his rehab assignment in Triple-A Charlotte to take Abreu's roster spot.
Eaton has been on the DL since May 3 with a strained right hamstring. He is hitting .276 with 14 RBIs.
The St. Louis Cardinals have activated left-handed pitcher Jaime Garcia to start against the Atlanta Braves. Garcia had surgery for a torn labrum and rotator cuff last May. Sunday would be his first appearance in just over a year and the 100th of his career. To make room for Garcia, the Cardinal optioned right-handed reliever Jorge Rondon to Memphis on Sunday. ...
The Washington Nationals placed Gio Gonzalez on the 15-day disabled list Sunday because of inflammation in his pitching shoulder. This is the first time the 28-year-old left-hander has gone on the disabled list. Gonzalez (3-4) dropped his third straight start in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the New York Mets. The Nationals recalled Ryan Mattheus from Triple-A Syracuse. ... The Texas Rangers have recalled outfielder Daniel Robertson from Round Rock and optioned right-handed reliever Miles Mikolas to the triple-A affiliate.

I have BaseCamp on my Mac laptop and am building routes for my Montana for a future Iron Butt run.
Questions is the first route I put together is colored purple on the p.c. I would like to build another route but it too is starting out at purple and I would like to change either routes colors. Is there a way to do that.
I have been informed that the BaseCamp version for p.c. has the feature to change colors on the route description block at the top right but I do not have that on the Mac version!!!
Any help would be appreciated.

ORLANDO, FLA. (April 3, 7:30 a.m. ET) — Altuglas International Resin has developed a bio-based acrylic compound made partially from polylactic acid that has lower processing temperatures, greater melt flow properties and better impact resistance that its traditional transparent thermoplastic poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA).
Sample products made from the new Plexiglas Rnew bio-based compounds that use Ingeo PLA from NatureWorks LLC are on display at the NatureWorks booth (57048) at NPE2012 and at an Altuglas special event on April 3 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. in room 210 D&E of the North Hall.
"There is a step change in impact performance, there is a significant increase in chemical resistance, and there is a dramatic improvement in melt flow for easier processing in both extrusion and in injection molding," said Bob Barsotti, research scientist for the Arkema Group, the parent corporation of Altuglas, in advance of the NPE show. "You can process it faster and at lower temperatures."
"We can move Plexglas Rnew into applications that we couldn't get into with traditional acrylic/plexiglas and we can also compete with engineered resins with this material," Barsotti said. "I can see applications in consumer, medical, optical products, building and construction and automotive."
Carmen Rodriguez, business manager of resin products for Bristol, Pa.-based Altuglas, added that the compatibility of Ingeo PLA and PMMA opens up additional doors.
"There will be a wide range of formulation latitudes and a wide range of applications because the formulation will be easier to tweak because of the compatibility of the two materials," said Rodriguez in an interview prior to NPE.
In particular, she sees a host of application possibilities in both small and large appliances, retail applications such as clear transparent racks used to display shoes or wine bottles, a variety of display signs and clear candy bowls.
"It can be a clear material for anything from small to large appliances. It can be an alternate materials for signs, and it can have some automotive applications" depending on what properties are needed, Rodriguez said.
What's more, it is not restricted to clear, transparent applications, as color can be added to the compound.
How much Ingeo will be each type of Plexiglas Rnew compound will depend on the application.
"Right now, we're looking at incorporating a range of 25 to 60 bio-based Ingeo renewable content" depending on the formulation, said Barsotti.
In terms of applications, "we are actively pushing point-of-display, retail signage and outdoor signage among injection molders," said Rodriguez.
"Just recently, we extruded sheet materials into display items," she said. "We also fabricated items to demonstrate that we can make clear cuts without burning or melting the sheet materials."
In addition, she said Altuglas has also thermoformed Plexiglas Rnew into products like an acrylic truck to show injection molders how well the resin fills molds, how all the details are captured in the product and how it releases from the mold without any problem.
"Right now, we are working to understand which products will be most robust in terms of applications," Rodriguez said. "But our hope is that we will be offering a portion of these products by the end of the year."
Frank Diodato, the Harvard, Mass.-based business manager of durables for NatureWorks, said its customers seem "most interested in applications for disposables and packaging."
"There has been a lot of attention on what's in the packaging, but our customers have needed for the product to be clear," he said. "Now, we have an option for them. I can see a number of things developing in housewares, the dispenser market and the big bucket of consumer durables. It has very broad-based appeal."
NatureWorks and Altuglas have been developing potential applications for Plexiglas Rnew for approximately two years, and working on specific potential programs for the last 8-10 months, Rodriguez said.
One of the things that excites both companies is how the addition of Ingeo improves the properties of conventional PMMA and potentially decreases costs for processors.
"What makes this so exciting is that the new resins will provide a viable alternative for brands looking for a transparent bio-based materials for durable applications, while the consumer will benefit from purchasing goods with a lower carbon footprint," said Antonis Papadourakis, regional group president for the Americas for Altuglas.
"You can reduce production costs because of lower temperatures for processing," said Rodriguez. "You are also elevating the impact resistance of PMMA to a level it never had before. This elevates the impact resistance of PMMA to the level of materials such as TPO, ABS/PC and some copolyesters.
"Plexiglas Rnew offers impact resistance far superior to any acrylic resin in the marketplace today and has an impact resistance comparable to that of polycarbonates or copolyesters," said Rodriguez.
Critically, the Plexiglas Rnew compounds offer those improved benefits without compromising the optics, scratch resistance, color acceptance or surface aesthetic of the Plexiglas or Altuglas brand, she said. "It allows us to do a lot more with our brand because it allows us to deliver better performance."
Altuglas has worked with Ingeo resin before, developing impact modifier to improve the strength of the PLA bio-resin. The two companies are exploring the possibility of further collaboration.

Assistant teachers are MiraCosta College students and must have completed a minimum of 6 units in child development and (ideally) have completed the student internship prior to their teaching appointment. Our supervising teachers actually have, or are in the process of completing, their Master's degrees in child development. The education, training, and experience of center staff are prime factors contributing to overall program quality.
Our preschool classrooms enroll no more than 22 children daily while maintaining a teacher/child ratio no higher than 1:8. Our younger preschool classroom (Room #3) enrolls no more than 18 children daily and maintains a teacher/child ratio no higher than 1:6. The toddler classrooms enroll as many as 12 (Room #1) or 15 children (Room #2) each day and maintains a teacher/child ratio of no higher than 1:5.
The Child Development Center is a learning environment for both children and adults. Child Development students (having completed their initial internship) serve as our ECE Apprentices. There are student teachers (interns) enrolled in CHLD270: Preschool Teacher Internship whose work at the center is often the culmination of their course requirements. These students are under the supervision of College instructional faculty and the classroom supervising teachers. Other Child Development students may be involved in Service Learning as well as in observing and studying children enrolled at the center through assignments offered in various Child Development courses. Center staff also include a Center Director, a ECE Program Specialist, and an ECE Office Specialist who coordinates the day-to-day operation of the Center.
