UW professor fights poverty one land plot at a time
For decades, Roy Prosterman has pushed to change land-ownership laws and practices in an effort to lift some of the world's poorest people out of poverty. Through Landesa, the Seattle organization he founded, he has helped millions of people across the globe gain rights to their own land.

Part 1: Seattle nonprofit Landesa uses land ownership as a way to bring families in India out of poverty. Read story →
By the time a coconut plantation owner with a gun strapped to his leg came looking for Roy Prosterman, the University of Washington law professor's reputation was well established as a land-rights advocate for the poor.
It was 1987, two decades after Prosterman's work in land rights had begun, when a Manila newspaper reported he was in town.
The land owner "probably hadn't taken the trouble to realize we were not for confiscatory land reform and thought, 'It's another one of these Marxists,'" Prosterman surmised. "We left, decided it was not worth the risk."
Prosterman had reason to take the threat seriously.
Seven years earlier, three of his colleagues, including one of his former law students, were assassinated for similar reasons at a hotel coffee shop in El Salvador. Prosterman would have been with them, but he was on vacation in Canada.
His work sparks strong reactions.
On one hand are landholders who sometimes assume that giving land to the poor means stealing it from them. On another, communists have accused him of using land programs to help the U.S. government root out peasant leaders.
Then there are the people who fight poverty on a global scale, working to eradicate hunger, increase education and reduce overpopulation — people like Bill Gates Sr., co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which since 1997 has granted more than $17 million to Landesa, the nonprofit Prosterman founded.
"It's an important positive role the development of land rights around the world is going to have, and that's all a function of Roy Prosterman's work," Gates said.
Although other people — and governments — have tried land reforms, occasionally with success, Gates considers Prosterman the leader. "Nobody is in second place," Gates said.
"Nobody is in second place," Gates said.
Paying market rates
Prosterman's aim beginning in the '60s was to elevate the world's poorest people without instigating violence.
Many governments recognize the political stability that comes with having fewer people in poverty. Some, including the central Chinese government, have invited Prosterman and others at Landesa to interview their poor people to learn how to improve land reform projects.
To avoid squabbles, Landesa advocates giving the poor land from the government or from landowners who have been paid market rates.
The nonprofit has found that even a small amount of land — about the size of a tennis court, including the green edges — significantly boosts families' nutrition and education efforts.
Land security also becomes an indirect form of population control because better conditions mean poor families have fewer babies as "insurance" against the ones expected to die from malnutrition.
With land ownership or decades-long leases, people take better care of their property and use it to produce income for the long term.
For example, under such terms, farmers have the incentive to terrace the land for irrigation, build greenhouses and trellises, plant orchards and dig fish ponds.
Prosterman met an Indian woman last year who recently received a microplot and already had planted a row of teakwood saplings.
"Her investment horizon has gone from essentially zero to multi-decades," Prosterman said.
Worries about Pakistan
Roy Prosterman
Landesa's founder arrived at the University of Washington in the '60s and quickly started lifelong work on land rights.
Childhood: Grew up an only child on the South Side of Chicago. Caught travel bug early, when his mother took him on summer trips to the Rockies and other dry locales to alleviate his hay fever.
Education: University of Chicago undergraduate, Harvard Law School.
Early career: As lawyer at Sullivan & Cromwell in the '60s, worked on the "salad oil scandal," in which a borrower scammed banks into lending money against large stocks of salad oil that turned out to be water.
Move to Seattle: Visited Seattle during a cross-continent train trip (Prosterman does not drive). Met the head of the UW law school and became a law professor there within months.
Land rights: Hired by USAID after writing law review article advocating that land be bought — rather than taken — from landowners and given to the poor. The agency wanted him to try out his approach to land reform in Vietnam.
Science fiction: Published science-fiction short stories in the '70s related to international conflict.
Not a landowner: Prosterman has rented the same University District apartment since the '70s. "When I first came here, I looked at a large house on the shore of Lake Washington that was $25,000, so I sometimes regret it," he said.
Retirement: Although he has retired as Landesa's CEO, he continues to teach law at the UW and visit China, India and other countries to see government officials and work on Landesa's programs.
Now 77, Prosterman visits India at least once a year and China about three times. He focuses on countries with large numbers of the world's most impoverished people to maximize Landesa's impact.
"They're the worst off," the professor said. "They're the ones whose kids are most likely to die in infancy and childhood, and they're the ones, too, whose teenage sons are most likely to be embittered and angry and join some form of organization that gives them an outlet for their anger."
In India, Landesa has worked with governments to provide land and land rights to more than a million families since 2001.
In China, its advice led to 85 million farm families receiving long-term leases. Landesa hopes to add millions more families, which it believes would reduce China's high number of protests, riots and mass demonstrations.
But Prosterman worries most about Pakistan.
If young boys do not stop going to extremist training grounds there, he said, "we are absolutely during this generation or the next generation going to face some horrific consequences."
"We don't want this to be the last millennium during which human civilization is around in a meaningful way," he added.
He recently wrote a land-reform article at Dawn.com, an English-language news site for Pakistan. It garnered positive comments, but also a typical detractor, who wrote: "Feudal Power is not the problem. [I]f I own a piece of ancestral land, there is no way that I am going to give it to any one."
Started in Vietnam
Prosterman first heard about land reforms gone wrong at the University of Chicago, where he was an undergraduate in the early '50s and spent an extra year before he was old enough to attend Harvard Law School.
During that year — he was 19 at the time — Prosterman read mostly French literature and ancient history and learned about the Gracchi brothers during the decline of the Roman Republic.
The Gracchis tried to take land from the rich to help the poor, and died for their efforts.
"It gets into some very important and interesting issues about how you can effectively carry out a land-reform program that actually ends up with reform and not with civil war or major conflict," Prosterman said.
His first look at extreme poverty came in the '60s, when Sullivan & Cromwell, the high-powered New York law firm for which he worked, sent him to Liberia for a railroad project.
It was at Prosterman's next job, as a UW professor, that he became involved: He was in his 30s and had just made a splash by suggesting in a law-review article that confiscating land for the poor was a recipe for violence.
Prosterman suggested instead paying landowners market rates for their land, the way governments in the United States do when they build new roads and other public necessities.
The Vietnam War was on, and some people at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in Washington, D.C., thought providing land to tenant farmers in South Vietnam might quell the unrest.
The agency hired Prosterman to research whether his idea for land reform could work there, leading to a program that gave land to a million farmers. Rice production rose by 30 percent and Viet Cong recruiting dropped by 80 percent before Communists took South Vietnam, according to USAID.
Detractors say that while Prosterman worked on land reform in Vietnam, the U.S. government violently rooted out peasant leaders.
They suspect a connection between his land program and U.S. violence there, and later in the Philippines and El Salvador. One said Prosterman wrote the "legal basis" for the CIA's Phoenix Program, under which civilians suspected of sympathizing with the Viet Cong were reportedly tortured and murdered.
"I categorically deny those allegations," Prosterman said. "I can't believe this nonsense is still floating around."
Connections in high places
However, Prosterman does spend considerable time with people in power.
Over the decades, he has known Hubert Humphrey, been bowled over by Mother Teresa's "aura of holiness," worked on the nonprofit Hunger Project with singer John Denver, become disenchanted with Ferdinand Marcos and shared ideas with Nobel Peace Prize winner and microfinance pioneer Muhammad Yunus.
Prosterman has been nominated for the Nobel Prize so many times he loses count. Although the nominations are supposedly secret, and Prosterman does not want to know about them — or even talk about them when asked — he sometimes finds out.
"I see the chances of actually getting it as being probably one in a million," he said.
One reason Prosterman still travels so much, despite being semiretired from Landesa, is because he has close connections and long-running relationships with top government officials in China, India and elsewhere.
His first meeting with China's "father of rural reform," Du Runsheng, was meant to last an hour but stretched into 10 hours over two days.
"It's not all smooth sailing," Prosterman said. "We're quite sure he was going to provide long-term land rights," but the plan was derailed after the 1989 student demonstrations and killings at Tiananmen Square.
Now even departing Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao says he favors land rights, but political corruption means peasants' property is taken for shopping malls and other projects — which helps fuel protests today.
Worked alone for decades
One major shift in Landesa's efforts involves women.
Prosterman said he is sorry he did not realize sooner that giving land to couples or women has a bigger impact than giving it to men.
"A husband controlling the same amount of resources, yes, much or most of it will go also for basic needs, but it will be net of money for cigarettes, gambling and Coca-Cola," Prosterman said.
Now Landesa works to put women on land titles with their husbands.
It also is designing programs in India and Kenya to raise awareness about women's rights.
In India, Landesa is wrapping up a pilot program funded by the Nike Foundation and a private donor that teaches adolescent girls how to garden. The goal is to make them financially attractive enough to their families that they will not be married off young or sold into prostitution. (See Sunday story.)
Although Landesa now has 120 employees in four countries, for two decades Prosterman worked almost single-handedly in his UW office and an apartment he has rented since 1979.
Laura Lee Grace, a longtime friend and supporter, remembers when she realized how much he was doing alone.
"There was no fundraising activity, no project-planning support, no sounding board and, furthermore, he paid partly out of his own pocket for his fieldwork trips to Asia and South America and beyond," she recalled. "What is worse, those trips were confined to his vacation dates. ... I was stunned."
She encouraged Prosterman to formalize parts of the organization, and she joined him for a trip to the Philippines. She is the one who decided they should leave after the coconut landlord turned up.
"I told Roy he had years of work ahead to do for the world, and that it was senseless to risk any harm," Grace said. "Roy grumbled a little, but agreed."

Welcome to Warmaster Blackhorn!
Engaging with this encounter will remind you a lot of the airship battle from way back in Icecrown Citadel. Similar to that fight, one of the big things that you need to watch out for is that the ship that you're on, the Skyfire, has it's own HP bar and if it dies, so will you. So you'll have to take as much care of the ship as you would your main tank.
You can't heal the ship so your only real method of taking care of the damned thing is prevention. There are three main thigns that will hit the ship during the fight. Blackhorn's mount will cast a spell called Twilight Onslaught at the ship which you can see as a swirly purply thing heading towards the ship, marked by a swirly purple mark. If the purple ball is allowed to connect, it'll do a huge amount of damage to the ship so you and your raid need to intercept it it by standing IN the thing on the ground. The damage is split amongst whoever's standing in there so get as many people into the mark as you can to make the damage more managable.
There's a much smaller version of this cast by the drakes which is managed the same way but deals much less damage so it doesn't take as many peple to soak.
The third method are the sappers who will drop onto the deck of the ship and run for the cabin where they turn into suicide bombers and deal a HUGE amount of damage to the ship so they need to be cc'd and killed asap.
Throughout this there are two types of adds, Dreadblades and Slayers running around that need to be picked up and held close enough together that they can be cleaved but not close enough that both tanks are getting the stacking debuff from each add so it'll take a bit of management at first but a few tries and you and your offtank should get sense of distance needed.
There will be three waves of these pair of adds so to negate their stacking debuff, the tanks will need to alternate which one they tank from one wave to another to give the debuff a chance to drop off.
After three waves of this, Blackhorn will land and phase 2 will begin.
His dragon will stay overhead hurling void zones on the ground that need to be moved OUT of instead of gathered under so watch out for that and deal with Blackhorn.
He'll stack an armor debuff on the tank he's on so there's a tank swapping going on that's nothing really new. Figure out what amount of stacks your raid is comfortable dealing with and switch out from there.
He throws out an aoe that will hit everyone that can't be avoided and one that can where he targets someone randomly and throws out a conal aoe so if you see him getting ready to unlease that, you need to step lightly and get the hell out of the way.
He will also increase the damage he deals as he gets lower in health so keep a ready finger on your cooldowns as the fight nears completion and you should be fine.
This is the last fight before you take on Deathwing so when you manage to get him down, better put on the big boy pants because this ride is almost done.

Couple & Family Therapy
Develop specialized expertise
in treating couples and families.
Certificate in Couple and Family Therapy
The Certificate in Couple and Family Therapy (CFT) program enables qualified professionals to develop specialized expertise in treating couples and families. Professionals with a Master's degree in psychology, social work and related mental health fields can build on prior training and experience by developing their skills in couple and family therapy. These additional skills can enhance current clinical work in a variety of mental health settings and could pave the way to licensure in marriage and family therapy in Illinois.
Students are trained to perceive individuals, couples and families from a systems perspective. The clinically-intensive course work and practicum experience provides students with strong conceptual, assessment, treatment planning and intervention skills based on the major models of couple and family therapy. The ability to work with families is particularly valuable for clinicians treating children and adolescents.
The Certificate in Couple and Family Therapy program is designed to help students meet the current academic and pre-degree training and education requirements for the Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy (LMFT) credential in the State of Illinois. Since licensure requirements change periodically and vary from state to state, it would be important for the student to plan their curriculum in order to meet the criteria for the state where they intend to practice.
Admission Requirements
- A master's degree in psychology, social work, or a related field from an accredited institution
- A GPA of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale for all undergraduate and graduate course work
- Prerequisite graduate-level courses including the following: a minimum of nine semester hours in human development, personality theory, human sexuality, psychopathology, or behavioral pathology; three semester hours of professional issues and ethics; and three semester hours of research design, methods, and statistics
- Coursework in basic counseling skills
- Prior practicum and/or experience in the field is desirable though not required.
Approved applicants will be invited to a personal interview as a final step in the application process. Graduate-level course work previously completed at another college or university may be recognized for transfer of credit and will be evaluated on an individual basis by the Program Director. Students lacking any of the graduate-level prerequisite courses listed above can take Adler University courses from the Couple and Family Therapy program or the equivalent graduate-level courses at another college or university.
Certificate Curriculum
The following courses are required for this certificate. In addition, students in this program should consult with the Program Director to review previous graduate coursework and develop an individualized course of study.
- Assessment of Treatment Planning with Individual Family Systems (3 credits)
- Issues of Culture and Diversity in Couple and Family Therapy (3 credits)
- Individual Life Span and the Family Life Cycle (3 credits)
- Modern Models of Couple and Family Therapy (3 credits)
- Post-Modern Models of Couple and Family Therapy (3 credits)
- Family Therapy: Theory and Techniques (3 credits)
- Therapy with Couples: Theory and Technique (3 credits)
- Practicum I in CFT (1 credit)
- Practicum II in CFT (if needed) (1 credit)
- M.A. Practicum Seminar in CFT I (3 credits)
- M.A. Practicum Seminar in CFT II (if needed) (3 credits)
- Master's Clinical Qualifying Exam (0 credits)
Specialized Practicum
In addition to specialized coursework in CFT, students in the Certificate in Couple and Family Therapy program will acquire and develop practical clinical skills in CFT through specialized field placements. Since the Certificate in Couple and Family Therapy is only open to students already holding a Master's degree in a mental health discipline, it is assumed that such students have already completed a general clinical practicum and that the CFT practicum is an advanced specialty practicum.
Students should expect to spend from ten to twenty hours per week at an approved CFT practicum site and must concurrently enroll in two semesters of Practicum Seminars during their field training. A minimum of 500 clock hours of practicum is required with an emphasis on therapy with couples and families. At least 200 hours of direct clinical services with 75 hours of couple / family therapy is expected.
The Department of Community Engagement and the Director of the Couple and Family Therapy program work in collaboration with Certificate in Couple and Family Therapy students to identify clinical experiences which will meet the specialized needs of the couple and family therapy profession and the goals of the student. Additional resources are available in the Practicum Handbook and the database of CFT practicum sites available from the Training Department.
Important information about the educational debt, earnings, and completion rates of students who attended this program.

If immigration reform is to happen, it must be now: That's the message supporters of immigration reform continue to send to members of Congress. Agricultural groups and other organizations say they intend to continue to put pressure on lawmakers to pass comprehensive reform, to follow up on momentum created by a "fly-in" event in Washington, D.C.
"We need to keep telling our representatives the importance of passing real reform. Otherwise, legislators will think its OK if they wait—and if they wait, that could be for four to seven years or more until it is addressed again," said Rayne Pegg, manager of the California Farm Bureau Federation Federal Policy Division. "Legislators are in their districts, so share your stories with the message that reform must happen."
Pegg joined more than 600 business leaders during the Americans for Reform immigration fly-in last week, which included nearly 60 Farm Bureau members and leaders from 14 states. Pegg spent the day talking to congressional representatives about the importance of a reformed agricultural immigration program, and about continued labor shortages reported by farmers through initial results of a CFBF survey.
"Congressmen Jeff Denham and David Valadao understand the need for working across the aisle to get something done that allows those currently working in agriculture to continue to work in agriculture and remain in the country, as well as create a visa program that works in the real world of farming," Pegg said. "They both are moving the discussion forward in their party. We need more members like Denham and Valadao who understand the realities and the human aspect of this issue."
Valadao, R-Hanford, announced the day following the fly-in that he supports a comprehensive immigration reform bill introduced by House Democrats last month. Denham, R-Turlock, was the first Republican to express support for the bill as a co-sponsor.
"Addressing immigration reform in the House cannot wait," Valadao said. "I am serious about making real progress and will remain committed to doing whatever it takes to repair our broken immigration system."
Denham also discussed the need to act by the end of the year.
"We can't afford any more delays," Denham said. "We are a nation of immigrants, but today, our broken system has failed to secure the border, enforce our current laws and help us to attract the best and brightest who want to come and contribute to the greatness of America."
The comprehensive bill by House Democrats largely mirrors a Senate bill passed in June, although with changes to border-security provisions. House Republican leaders have spoken in favor of a piecemeal approach that prioritizes border security. The House Judiciary Committee has marked up a series of smaller bills that would set up an electronic employment verification system, add more high-skilled visas and bring in more temporary workers for agriculture, among other policy changes. However, none of the House immigration bills has come up for a floor vote.
Immigration reform advocates said they hope enough momentum will be created to have immigration reform addressed before Thanksgiving. If not, the fear is that midterm election politics will stop any progress on comprehensive reform.
CFBF Director of Labor Affairs Bryan Little said it's "vital" for Congress to address immigration reform this fall.
"If they don't, there may not be another window of political opportunity until the second term of President Obama's successor, and that's eight years away," Little said. "That's another eight years of trying to get along with a broken system that doesn't address the needs of farmers or farmworkers."
Little, who also serves as chief operating officer of the Farm Employers Labor Service, noted that it's impossible to predict how the next presidential administration will approach immigration law and immigration reform. An aggressive stance, he said, could lead to "even more aggressive auditing of agricultural employers" as enforcement agencies seek to deport employees who present legal-appearing documents even though they have entered the United States illegally.
"Anyone who's been through that process can tell you what a disaster that is," he said.
The American Farm Bureau Federation joined in urging Congress to pass an agricultural labor program that provides both short- and long-term stability.
"It's a way to keep our experienced workforce, while making sure we have access to a legal workforce through a streamlined and flexible guestworker program in the future," AFBF President Bob Stallman said. "Immigration reform is critical for the agricultural industry. Many farmers rely on an immigrant labor force and without reform, growers will begin to plant less labor-intensive crops or go off shore.
"Simply put, either we import our labor or we import our food," Stallman said.

1987 Chrysler Colt LX from North America
A great little run-about for city or highway
Clutch wore out at about 200K km.
Seat covering is worn out.
Needs to warm up for about 2 minutes when starting from cold... I guess I should get a tune up!
General Comments:
Man, I trust this car. The clutch started wearing out when I got it, and that was about 20K km ago! I finally replaced the clutch this month and it is peppier than ever.
It is cheap to run, uses very little oil, and just keeps ticking.
The stereo (factory original) sucks canal water!
It just feels like a trust-able car to me, and hasn't let me down!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Text description provided by the architects. The Gardiner Museum is one of the world's preeminent institutions devoted to ceramic art, and the only museum of its kind in Canada. It is also designated as one Toronto's cultural renaissance projects. The renewal project, together with the Royal Ontario Museum across the street and the Royal Conservatory of Music around the corner on Bloor Street West, will form a new cultural precinct for the city. The renewal builds on top of the original structure, designed by Keith Wagland in 1984. The third floor expansion and extension of the original footprint to the street creates a bolder image for the Gardiner, while respecting the intimate scale for which the original building was admired.
The former pink granite exterior was replaced with polished buff limestone, setting the Gardiner in dialogue with the historic facades and pediments of the adjacent neo-classical Lillian Massey and Queen-Anne style Margaret Addison buildings. The front of the museum was completely re-landscaped with a series of terraced platforms that bring the Gardiner to the street, and create a series of inviting outdoor spaces for casual and formal gathering.
The strategic addition of approximately 14,000 sqf allows the museum to host international exhibits of contemporary works, and to showcase the expanding permanent collection. The adaptive reuse of the underground parking garage, excavated by one meter, creates much-needed space in which to accommodate educational studios and curatorial spaces to support the Gardiner's evolving popular community outreach programs and research activities. The design also greatly enhances the museum's revenue-generating potential with a new retail shop that faces Queen's Park, rentable multi-purpose event space, and a destination restaurant managed by Jamie Kennedy.
The existing plan was completely reconfigured to define a journey through the galleries that unfolds in ascending order, from the ground to the new third floor. Windows and terraces are positioned to offer visitors previously unimagined vistas of Queen's Park, the University of Toronto, and the downtown skyline.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- "Strategies for Survival on Planet Earth" is the theme of the 2014 Penn State Lectures on the Frontiers of Science, which is designed as a free minicourse for the general public. The lectures will take place on the four Saturday mornings in February from 11 a.m. to about 12:30 p.m. in 100 Thomas Building.
The lectures will be given by scientists whose labs are expanding the frontiers of scientific knowledge in critical areas for human survival. Their research is focused on inventing alternative fuels, helping food crops adapt to climate change, preventing catastrophic asteroid attacks and stopping a deadly disease that threatens to spread beyond the 100 countries it now ravages. The lectures are:
Lecture No. 1 on Feb. 1: "Engineering SuperMicrobes to Save Us" by Howard M. Salis, assistant professor of biological engineering and chemical engineering at Penn State. Howard Salis will reveal ways that his lab is working to engineer microorganisms in order to manufacture fuels, materials and drugs from biorenewable and sustainable sources. Building a new industry to replace existing uses of petrochemicals remains a big challenge, but Salis will highlight both the challenges and the promises and benefits of building a sustainable biorenewables industry. He will show with recent research how physics, chemistry and mathematics are being used to push the metabolism of microbes to the bleeding edge of economic competitiveness.
Lecture No. 2 on Feb. 8: "Hot Chocolate: Helping the Cacao Plant Adapt to Climate Change" by Siela Maximova and Mark Guiltinan, professors in the Department of Plant Science at Penn State. The team's research with the cacao plant is focused on finding ways to help it, and other food crops in a similar situation, to survive the rise in temperature that research predicts will drastically affect production in the major cacao-growing areas by 2050. Cocoa farmers, exporters, the cocoa industry and consumers all will feel the impact if action to adapt to climate change is not taken. Farmers are particularly vulnerable since cocoa is often their primary source of income. This lecture includes the potential role of scientific research in developing adaptation strategies to benefit the cocoa plant. Chocolate will be provided.
Lecture No. 3 on Feb. 15: "Protecting the Earth from Killer Asteroids" by Rachel Stevenson, a research scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). Rachel Stevenson will describe her research with JPL's NEOWISE team in an effort that now is under way to discover and characterize dangerous asteroids that are potentially hazardous to life on Earth. Large asteroids crashing into Earth have caused catastrophic damage, including the extinction of the dinosaurs and many other species. Since the NEOWISE team began searching in 2010, it has discovered more than 34,000 previously unknown asteroids and over 130 near-Earth objects.
Lecture No. 4 on Feb. 22: "Combating malaria: New Approaches to an Ancient Problem" by Manuel Llinás, associate professor of biochemistry and molecular biology at Penn State. With half of the world's population at risk of malaria, it is one of the most pervasive diseases of modern humankind. Manuel Llinás will explain why malaria continues to ravage people in over 100 countries worldwide and why it remains a threat to the United States. This devastating disease is caused by the highly sophisticated single-celled Plasmodium parasite, which invades and takes over the blood of humans. Llinás will outline major challenges in combating this global disease and will describe recent progress and cutting-edge approaches being used to combat the deadly malaria parasite.

One of the highlights of any genealogist's calendar – census day! I couldn't help but wonder about my descendants, in a hundred or so years time, digging through the records to extract as much information as they can about great-great grandma and grandpa, where they lived, what they did, who their children were … assuming the records haven't been lost on a flash drive that was left on the 10.15 from Waterloo. 🙂
If like me you're always having to stop and check the census date for a particular decade, they're listed here with details of their availability (or otherwise). Keep meaning to create some wallpaper for my desktop with the dates already on, but I never get round to it – so if you know of one, don't keep it to yourself.
Ancestry UK has given us a census-day gift of free access to their census indexes until Monday 28, and I've made good use of it. (I know purists will insist I should have written "indices" but it just doesn't sound right.) We've already lost an hour of record-rooting due to the change to British Summer Time.
Will this be the last UK census? I hope not, but it's highly possible. Many of the questions aren't relevant as far as running the country goes, so perhaps a genealogy company will put in a bid to run the next one, and ask questions that we want the answers to. No, I don't think so either.

Ronald Duncan (1914-1982) was a productive West Country author whose literary career encompassed journalism, fiction, poetry, film scripts and plays.
He is best known as a playwright for This Way to the Tomb (1946), his epic poem 'Man' (The Complete Cantos, 1970) and as the librettist for The Rape of Lucretia (1946) an opera he co-wrote with Benjamin Britten. He was also a farmer, horse and pig breeder and wartime pacifist who lived and worked most of his life in North Devon.
As well as his many books, Duncan also left as his legacy a fascinating archive of literary and personal papers: The Ronald Duncan Collection now housed at the University of Exeter, Devon, UK.
The author also established a Literary Foundation in his name which today supports creative excellence in literature and drama and promotes causes in the arts which the Trustees consider to be of value.

Invicta FC 1 cheap monclers wasn't the first promotion to feature an all-female fight card, nor did they invent the MMA livestream, but last night they paired the two beautifully for moncler down jackets women a groundbreaking show that will undoubtedly do wonders for WMMA. The online broadcast is said to have peaked at 100k viewers, some four-times their initial Moncler Womens Vest projection.
Overall the show had a professional, polished appearance. Moncler Womens Polo T-shirts The familiar voice of Mauro Renallo carried the commentary team with the sort of obvious, gender-based puns that we would never personally sink toh, right. The recently unemployed "King Mo" kept it 100 on the mic, but casual doesn't always equal comfortable or competent, and Moncler Mens Polo T-shirt Jon Anik can breath a little easier this morning. http://www.coatsale-moncler.com/ Alongside Lawal, Julie Kedzie called the fight from a fighter's perspective, and with a little more experience she could transition well into that roll.
While one of Invicta's stated goals is to develop clearly Moncler Men T-shirts defined weight classes, the fighters will have to do their part when it's time to step on the scales. With four fighters missing weight for the inaugural event, some of them badly, Moncler Women T-shirts there's still much work to be done.

Ariana Grande & Big Sean dating - report
Pop star ARIANA GRANDE has sparked rumours of a new romance with frequent collaborator BIG SEAN following her split from singer JAI BROOKS.
The Way hitmaker, 21, became friends with the rapper last year (13) after working together on her single Right There, while they recently teamed up again on her new summer smash Problem and her next release, Best Mistake.
Reports suggest they have since grown so close, they have started dating.
The pair was snapped leaving a Los Angeles movie theatre together earlier this month (Aug14) after catching a screening of action thriller The Purge: Anarchy, and eyewitnesses tell Eonline.com the stars shared a kiss during the film.
Grande reportedly ended her on/off relationship with Brooks in late July (14), not long after reconciling.
Big Sean, 26, has been single since calling off his engagement to Glee actress Naya Rivera in April (14). Rivera has since rebounded with actor Ryan Dorsey, with the pair tying the knot in Mexico in July (14).

It's a choice. How big or small do you choose to be in this life. It's not something that is done to you, or something that someone else decides. It is entirely within your control. Which is why, it is so confusing that many of us consciously chooses to be small.
We do.
The other day I was having this great conversation with a very powerful, and amazing woman. We were talking about leading women. Who are they? What do they do? How do they stand out? The conversation turned to the mistakes we make, as women. The patterns we fall into make us smaller than we are. The conversation turned to non-verbals. I was saying how I watched this fantastic TED talk that talks about how our body language shapes who we are. Watch it. Seriously.
In it, Amy Cuddy talks about how we must make ourselves bigger. We must exaggerate our motions, and passionately express ourselves — even when we are scared to death. It's a muscle you strengthen, and then eventually one day you wake up and you are…in fact…bigger. Not "I ate four dozen cupcakes bigger" but "I can do this, I can do everything I ever wanted" bigger.
This friend of mine talked about how she can't stand it when people cover their hands up in meetings with their sleeves. It's like they are shrinking into a ball and retreating into their sweater, shirt, or coat. All of this talk got me thinking — how much do we do that makes us smaller? Why do we choose to be small?
Then it hit me…because we think we are. Damn it. Bitch slapped. It's because somewhere along the way we stopped choosing to live larger than life. Continue reading →

Home insurance options, costs, and even laws may vary a great deal from state to state; this means that deals and regulations that homeowners receive in Nebraska may not be applicable to homeowners in California, and laws that affect Texas homeowners may have not be the same as those that affect New York residents. So if you're moving to a home in a new state, or just want to understand how your state's home insurance policies compare to others, explore our state-by-state guide to learn more.
While the average consumer might not keep up with the latest state legislation relevant to home insurance, insurance professionals do, and they can help keep homeowners informed of how state mandates may affect premiums, coverage, and even future financial planning. Depending on the state you live in, you may be eligible for a much lower quote than your friends in a neighboring state.
Look through our guide to home insurance to see how your best quote may measure up to another state in your region.

"Eldorado for sensors"
From paper feeding to the manufacture of mailable print products, graphic machinery performs all these tasks today in a complete high-tech system. There is a trend towards increasingly smaller print runs, changing products and formats and simultaneously higher speeds. In many cases, the focus is on sensors because they play a decisive role in ensuring fast control and coordination of individual process steps as well as in printing quality control. Based on more than thirty years of experience in this industry, Baumer sensors reliably meet these requirements around the world.
A special highlight of our developers: SCATEC
The SCATEC laser copy counter family is suitable for counting newspapers and magazines in a lap stream. The SCATEC detection principle is based on an optical edge detection system patented by Baumer, which makes the SCATEC family extremely insensitive to color. With a matte or glossy finish, all print products are scanned reliably.
More information about our SCATEC copy counters can be found here.
The typical applications or uses of Baumer products are virtually limitless in graphic machinery: Actuator drives enable quick format adjustment, for example; photoelectric or inductive sensors ensure precise positioning during the printing process.
Portfolio overview
Modern printing companies are overrun with sensors. Hundreds of different products coordinate and ensure a perfect production process in large-scale plants – twenty-four seven usually. Baumer supplies all the required sensors and offers a special service: identical housing sizes and connections also for diverse sensors make planning a snap for machine builders.

Techies in Silicon Valley may still queue up this weekend for "Jobs," the first full-length movie treatment of the late Apple CEO Steve Jobs, but most film critics are telling them to spend their time and money elsewhere.
The "Jobs" movie opened on Friday. Starring Ashton Kutcher in the title role, the film is essentially an "unauthorized" take on the infamous tech visionary.
Another movie, based on Walter Isaacson's popular biography "Steve Jobs" -- which included the cooperation of Jobs, his family and the company -- is in development with screenwriter Aaron Sorkin attached to write, but no projected release date for that film has yet been given.
Judging by the reviews for "Jobs," there still may be plenty of room for another film treatment. As of Friday morning, "Jobs" is carrying a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 26% -- meaning about three quarters of the reviewers tabulated have given the flick a Thumbs Down. The RT rating among so-called "top critics" was even lower at 20%.
The movie also didn't fare well with the affable Steve Wozniak, who was portrayed in the film by Josh Gad of "The Book of Mormon" fame. In a blog posting on Gizmodo, Wozniak called the acting "good" and said he was " attentive and entertained but not greatly enough to recommend the movie." And he denied the claim that he's criticizing this movie because he is serving as a paid consultant on the "Steve Jobs" project.
"I felt bad for many people I know well who were portrayed wrongly in their interactions with Jobs and the company. The movie ends pretty much where the great Jobs finally found product success (the iPod) and changed so many of our lives. I'm grateful to Steve for his excellence in the i-era, and his contribution to my own life of enjoying great products, but this movie portrays him having had those skills in earlier times," Wozniak wrote.
Kutcher and Gad have been at pains to suggest that "Jobs" isn't intended as a documentary.
Kutcher also recently sang Jobs' praises as an artist, as well as a tech guru.

Harbin Air Conditioning, a major Chinese maker of air conditioners which just over a year ago launched a research and development unit to develop wind turbines, is closing its wind unit at a loss of CNY 2.8 million ($425,267). It must also cancel component orders worth CNY 22 million ($3,347,790) and technology partnerships worth $2,732,400.
The company says pursuing Chinese wind energy is now too risky with so many rivals having jumped into the industry and the government tightening control.
Experts had anticipated that weaker elements of China's wind manufacturing sector would begin to bow out after the government, in late 2009, issued a rule discouraging new wind turbine manufacturing plants and driving development of bigger wind turbines rated 2.5MW and larger.
Pressure on suppliers mounted last March, when the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released draft rules tightening standards for wind turbine suppliers. The moves were widely interpreted as aimed at squeezing all but the strongest from the domestic wind sector.
More to come
Now that Chinese wind turbine manufacturers have mushroomed from around ten in 2005 to above 80 today, more exits are certain. China Wind Energy Association (CWEA) vice president Shi Pengfei says: "It is a wise choice for companies to retreat early from the wind turbine sector - considering the backdrop of surplus capacity - if they are inferior in technology, market shares and development funds."
Comments by government officials throw more cold water on the wind sector at a politically sensitive time. The National People's Congress, China's national parliament, is holding its annual meeting this month and it is understood that the country's 12th five-year plan for energy, spanning 2011-15, will be on the agenda.
Shi Lishan, deputy director of the new energy and renewable energy department of National Energy Bureau, says: "Compared with wind power and solar power, which suffer from problems accessing the grid, Chinese hydropower has enjoyed complete and sound operation. Hydropower has favourable conditions to develop even faster."
China has firm plans to install about 20GW of hydropower between this year and 2015. Shi opines that because wind is variable, hydro can only serve to support grid stability.
Elite club
Li Junfeng, deputy director of energy research at the National Development and Reform Commission, which oversees China's energy policy, remarks that it is "enough to have three to five wind turbine makers in the Chinese market".
China's top three wind turbine makers, Sinovel, Goldwind and Dongfang Electric, have locked up about 60% of the domestic wind turbine market. The top producers of wind blades - Zhongfu Lianzhong, Zhongcai and Baoding Huiteng - have together secured a similar market share.
The outlook for Chinese manufacturers is cloudy, even without official cynicism stirring up worry. Manufacturers have had to slash prices for turbines in recent calls for proposals, in turn squeezing profit margins and accelerating the move towards consolidation. This has made the waters choppy for firms trying to raise funds on equity markets.
In December 2007, turbine supplier Goldwind made headlines with its initial public offering (IPO) on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, watching its stock soar to CNY 131 ($19.94) a share from the CNY 36 issue price.
The market has soured since then. On the first day of Sinovel's IPO on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in January, its record stock price of CNY 90 dropped by nearly 10%. The slump in prices has continued into the following weeks.
Although they are the buyers of turbines, developers have not been immune to the dark mood. By the end of 2010 Huaneng, one of the top five state-owned power companies, shelved plans to float its renewables division on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Datang, another top-five power company, pressed ahead with an IPO in Hong Kong but the stock closed below its issue price on the first day.
Line losses
Chinese analysts agree that slow integration of wind onto China's grid causes bottlenecks and limits the effect of the government's generous support for the sector. Wind farms profit largely from preferential fiscal and taxation policies, but these are broadly viewed as unsustainable.
According to the State Electricity Regulatory Commission (SERC), in the first six months of 2010 China failed to purchase 2.8 billion kWh of generated wind farm output due to grid constraints. About 75% of the unsold wind power came from Inner Mongolia. SERC says the main problem is that grid construction has not been harmonised with wind farm construction, resulting in wind blocked from the grid. Transmission system operators echo the complaint.
Nevertheless, CWEA secretary general Qin Hainan remains optimistic about the prospects for wind power in China. He says China needs to expand its wind capacity to about 200GW in 2020 if it is to meet the Chinese government's aim of sourcing 15% of primary energy that year from non-fossil sources.
With just over 40GW of wind installed today, China needs to add an average of 16GW a year. Whether that translates into headline-catching annual growth rates is unimportant, insists Qin. "Even if China installs 20GW of wind power in 2011, the annual growth rate will only be about 50%," he says. That is well below the more than doubling of capacity repeated over recent years.
"In the future, as the base number becomes increasingly bigger," he says, "the growth rate of newly installed capacity will be reduced year after year."
He adds that overcapacity in wind turbine production today does not necessarily mean industrial resources will go to waste. China, he assures, will continually encourage boosting wind power as an emerging industry of strategic importance. It may be too early to predict an end to China's wind power surge just yet.

The governor's Sandy Hook Advisory Commission on Monday called for some of the strongest gun control measures in the nation, including a ban on the sale or possession of any gun that can fire more than 10 bullets without reloading.
The ban would be among the most far-reaching in the United States and comes in direct reaction to the Newtown gunman's use of an assault rifle and 30-round magazines in the massacre of 20 children and six women three months ago at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
"This prohibition would extend to military-style firearms as well as handguns," the commission's interim report says. "Law enforcement and military would be exempt from this ban."
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said in a statement released by his office that he does not support a retroactive ban on legally owned firearms. In his statement, Malloy said the interim report, along with his own recommendations and those of the General Assembly, are a step toward finding solutions to gun violence.
The commission's chairman, Hamden Mayor Scott Jackson, noted in a letter to Malloy that some of the 42 recommendations are controversial.
"I realize that you may agree with some of our interim recommendations and disagree with others,'' Jackson wrote in a letter attached to the report.
The recommendation to ban guns that can fire more than 10 bullets without reloading goes further than what Malloy has proposed, and the governor said during the committee's deliberations that he does not support "the confiscation of firearms by law-abiding citizens.''
Monday's interim report also calls for banning the sale, possession and use of any magazines that carry more than 10 bullets — a measure Malloy proposed last month. The only exceptions would be for law enforcement and military use.
Rep. Craig Miner, a Republican from Litchfield who co-chaired a gun subcommittee, had a strong reaction against the proposed magazine ban.
"It seems to me when someone starts to ban something from an individual who bought it lawfully, owned it lawfully and did nothing to lose that right and has to divest themselves of it in some way, it seems to me if it's not a taking, it's pretty doggone close,'' Miner said.
Miner, who said that he doesn't own any 10-round magazines, said it would be very difficult to collect magazines that had been purchased legally and later declared illegal.
The commission's recommendations are advisory to Malloy. Any changes in Connecticut's law must be approved by the House of Representatives and the Senate and then be signed into law by Malloy.
The commission's report was issued on the day that Mike Lupica of the New York Daily News reported that Newtown shooter Adam Lanza had planned the attack for years and had compiled a spreadsheet measuring 7 feet by 4 feet that included details of mass shootings around the world. Lupica said that his anonymous source was a high-ranking police officer who attended a recent conference in New Orleans in which the top uniformed commander of the Connecticut state police, Col. Danny Stebbins, delivered a detailed speech about the Newtown massacre.
Background Checks
The commission's interim report also calls for:
—Mandatory background checks at gun shows and any other place where firearms are sold, including so-called long guns.
— Banning the sale and possession of all armor-piercing bullets, punishable as a Class D felony.
— Mandating registration of all guns, in addition to requiring a permit to carry one.
— Requiring firearms permits to be renewed, including "a test of firearms handling capacity, as well as an understanding of applicable laws and regulations.''
— Limiting the amount of bullets that can be purchased at one time.
— Studying the best ways of prohibiting the sale of ammunition through the Internet.
— Mandating that the seller of a gun must also make a trigger lock available to the purchaser.
Currently, the state has about 1.4 million registered guns, and state police say there could be as many as 2 million more that are not registered.
The interim report did not mention any recommendations regarding mental health, which will be explored at a commission meeting Friday. Jackson noted that the commission will continue working "through the end of this year'' and will react to the Danbury state's attorney's report on the Newtown massacre that is expected in June.
Senate President Pro Tem Donald Williams, the highest-ranking senator, thanked the commissioners for their work and said, "Everything is on the table as negotiations between the legislative leaders continue.''
The commission's recommendations did not impress Scott Wilson, president of the Connecticut Citizens Defense League, which supports gun owners' rights. Wilson and his group have said that the gun control measures being proposed would do nothing to prevent another disturbed individual from doing what Lanza did, but only would infringe on the rights of responsible, law-abiding gun owners.
Wilson said the interim report is an "over-reach, and it will do nothing to protect the children."
Malloy has proposed universal background checks, stricter requirements for storing firearms and restricting the size of magazines.
"I believe we can pass meaningful legislation that achieves common sense gun violence prevention measures and that we can do it in a way that many gun owners will agree with," he said in his statement Monday. "I am hopeful that we can come to an agreement soon. Our residents, who by all accounts support many of the proposals that we are considering, have waited long enough.''

Gallery: Tanker truck fire on 5 Freeway
A tanker truck flipped, spilled thousands of gallons of gasoline, caught fire. turned a freeway underpass into an inferno and backed up traffic for miles near the 2 and 5 freeways near Dodger Stadium on Saturday, California Highway Patrol and Los Angeles Fire Department officials said.
A CHP spokesman said that some freeway lane closures are anticipated to be "long term." She said the agency couldn't be specific on a timeline for reopening.
Closures include the southbound 2 to the southbound 5 and northbound 2 to the northbound 5 connector roads and two lanes of southbound 5 from Fletcher to Stadium Way for an unknown duration.
At least 8,500 gallons of gasoline burned or spilled on the freeway, into the L.A. River or storm drains, LAFD spokesman Brian Humphrey said.
The crash occurred on the southbound transition road from the 2 to 5 freeway in a tunnel-like underpass shortly after 10:30 a.m. Despite early reports of injuries, no one was hurt in the incident, Humphrey said.
Motorists and local media tweeted photos of a huge black plume of smoke and orange flames. Television station KABC (Channel 7) showed a photo of a section of the river engulfed in flames.
Humphrey said state and federal officials had been notified to assess damage to the river and area.
"We don't have a quantity of what went into the river, but it was sizeable," Humphrey said.
Portions of the L.A. River in this area just re-opened to the public for kayaking, fishing, and other activities. Additionally, nonprofit river groups held a large cleanup effort for the river two months ago.
"It's just awful to hear," said Rick Rabins, president of the The Village Gardeners, a nonprofit group dedicated to beautifying the L.A. River, when told of the accident. "Toxic contamination is a pretty terrifying thing."
Humphrey said that it was unclear what caused the accident. He said CHP officials told firefighters the truck diver hit a guardrail.
Officials with the California Fish and Wildlife Department and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) were on site Saturday and taking river samples, said LAFD Captain Alicia Mathis.
"They are assessing what damage was done to the river," Mathis said.
Originally, EPA officials believed the fuel was spread over a two and half mile section of the river, but by late afternoon, lowered the size of the estimated damage, Mathis said.
The accident occurred close to Frogtown, a working class neighborhood nestled between the river and freeways. On Saturday afternoon, the river smelled strongly of gasoline, even a half mile away south of the accident site.
Officials are also concentrating on washing and then rinsing the storm drains, Mathis said.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Every once in a while a photo is sent out into cyberspace and it touches the heart of millions. This picture is one of them. It is just a little girl reaching out and grasping the world in her hand.
A stunning photograph that captures the moment when a newly born baby emerges from her mother's womb has become one of the first viral hits of 2013 after the proud parents posted it on Facebook for friends and family to share.
Alicia Atkins of Glendale, Arizona gave birth to daughter, Nevaeh, via Caesarean section on October 9. Her husband Randy snapped this touching image of a baby entering the world for the first time and grabbing hold of the doctor's fingers.
'The doctor called me over and said, "Hey, she's grabbing my finger,"' Randy told 3TV News. 'So I ran over there and just grabbed the shot and I was just in awe looking at it. It was such an amazing picture.'
She also wrote: 'This was 10 weeks ago when I was having my c-section and Dr. Sawyer broke my water and my daughter reached up out of my stomach and grabbed the Dr.'s finger and my hubby caught this special moment.
Such a small hand but such a great smile she has brought to the world. And a nice smile for this Shabbat.
