This course examines how public interest lawyers use federal civil rights litigation to address contemporary social problems. Students will be provided with a simulated case based on an actual injustice in Detroit and develop a strategy to solve the problem. They will gain experience in client interviewing, making public records requests, drafting complaints, writing and responding to motions to dismiss, oral argument, drafting discovery requests, conducting depositions and being interviewed by the media. Students will learn how to overcome the many procedural obstacles to justice posed by 42 U.S.C. section 1983 and explore the ethical issues faced by public interest lawyers when representing vulnerable clients. The course will also emphasize how litigation can be most effective in achieving change when it is a part of an "integrated advocacy" campaign that includes public education, legislation and/or community action.

Here's what's ahead of us, as we saw in my post last week that recounted the outline. GDC 8 gives some details behind all the headings:
8. The General Directory for Catechesis, while retaining the basic structure of that of 1971, is divided as follows:
– The Introduction takes its starting point from faith and trust in the power of the Gospel seed, and proposes guidelines for interpreting and understanding human and ecclesial conditions. These are intended to assist mission.
– Part One (Corresponds to Part II of the GCD) has three chapters and roots catechesis above all in the conciliar Constitution Dei Verbum, placing it in the context of evangelization as seen in Evangelii Nuntiandi and Catechesi Tradendae, and proposes, moreover, to clarify the nature of catechesis;
– Part Two (It has the same objectives of Part III to the GCD) contains two chapters, the first of which, under the title Norms and Criteria for presenting the Gospel message in Catechesis, puts forward afresh the entire content of the corresponding chapter of the previous text from a new and enriched perspective; the second chapter, which is completely new, serves to present the Catechism of the Catholic Church as a reference point for the transmission of the faith in catechesis and for the preparation of catechisms at local level; this chapter also outlines those fundamental principles to be employed in the redaction of catechisms in particular and local Churches;
– Part Three (Corresponds to Part IV of the GCD) has also been revised to formulate the main elements of a pedagogy of the faith inspired by divine pedagogy; while this question is primarily a theological one, it also involves the human sciences;
– Part Four (Corresponds to Part V of the GCD of 1971. While several significant reasons would suggest that this section should precede that on pedagogy, however, given the new form of Part Three it is preferred to maintain the same order as that in the 1971 text. This underlines that attention to those to whom catechesis is directed is a participation in and a consequence of this same divine pedagogy, this Acondescenion of God in the history of Salvation (DV 13) of his self adaptation in revelation to the human condition.) is entitled Those to be catechized; in five short chapters attention is given to the diverse situations and contexts of those to whom catechesis is directed, to matters arising from socio-religious situations, and in particular, to the question of inculturation;
– Part Five (Assumes all the elements of Paul VI of the GCD) focuses on the centrality of the particular Church and on its primordial duty to promote, organize, oversee and co-ordinate all catechetical activities; of particular significance is the description of the roles proper to the various agents involved in catechesis (who, of course, are always dependent on the Pastors of the particular Churches) and of the requirements necessary for their respective formation;
– The Conclusion advocates an intensification of catechetical activity in our times, and concludes with an appeal to faith in the action of the Holy Spirit and in the efficacy of the word of God sown in love.
We'll get to each of these in turn. If you're counting off the section numbers and the days, here's the rundown:
- Introduction (GDC 13-33)
- Part One (GDC 34-91)
- Part Two (GDC 92-136)
- Part Three (GDC 137-162)
- Part Four (GDC 163-214)
- Part Five (GDC 215-285)
- Conclusion (GDC 286-291)

Darron Gibson could return to the Republic of Ireland squad for next month's crucial World Cup qualifiers against Sweden and Austria.
The 25-year-old Everton midfielder has not played for his country since instigating a self-imposed exile in the wake of a disappointing Euro 2012 finals campaign in which he did not get a chance to show what he could do.
However, assistant manager Marco Tardelli revealed Giovanni Trapattoni had contacted Gibson this morning following David Meyler's withdrawal from the squad for Wednesday night's friendly against Poland with a knee injury.
While the answer came back in the negative, Tardelli insisted it did so because of his own fitness concerns rather than a desire not to return.
He said: "This morning, Meyler told us that he was going back home and we spoke with Darron and he told us that he has played just one match and he would prefer to stay at home because he is not available.
"He has a little problem after the match. I think Darron wanted to come here with us. The next match, maybe yes.
"He said: 'I have a little problem'. He is not available for this match. He was in Malaga because there is a little training camp with Everton.
"It's no problem to come for another match."
Asked if Gibson would be considered for selection for the trip to Sweden on March 22 and the home clash with Austria four days later, Tardelli said: "Yes, why not?
"Always when we need a player and the player wants to come with the Irish team, we are very happy.
"I don't understand why this problem exists. It's not my problem, it's not Gibson's problem."
Gibson was named in the squad for the Republic's first qualifier of the current campaign in Kazakhstan in September last year, but withdrew after telling Trapattoni the disappointment of what happened in Poland during the summer, and in particular his lack of a role in it, was still having an effect on him.
There has been dialogue between the two parties since with the 73-year-old Italian identifying the former Manchester United player as one of the men he felt could give his team a different focus in the immediate aftermath of the Euros.
Whether the call comes and is accepted next month remains to be seen, but in the meantime, Trapattoni will cast an eye over a series of new players on Wednesday with uncapped Derby trio Richard Keogh, Jeff Hendrick and Conor Sammon in the squad.
However, it is the goalkeeping position which could prove the most interesting with Trapattoni having voiced his displeasure with number one Keiren Westwood's lack of first-team football at Sunderland to the extent of suggesting he needs to leave Wearside to preserve his international career.
Millwall's David Forde is likely to get the nod against the Poles, and Tardelli has revealed he and Trapattoni would have no concerns about the 33-year-old starting against Sweden.
He said: "Forde is a good goalkeeper. He played against Italy and to play against Italy is very hard, and he played very well.
"He has big experience and I don't worry about him. I worry about Westwood because he doesn't play in his team, but not Forde."
Asked about Trapattoni telling Westwood he may need to leave Sunderland, Tardelli said: "He tried, but [Black Cats manager Martin] O'Neill decided that it was better that he stayed at Sunderland, and Giovanni can't do anything about that.
"For me, it would have been better if he had moved."
Shay Given, who won 125 caps for Ireland before announcing his retirement from international football after the Euros, has offered to return, but that option is yet to be taken up.
Tardelli said: "We know Shay Given loves to play with us and this is very important because other players, maybe they don't love to play for the Irish team.
"This is very important. If we need him, maybe it's possible."

My Aim in LifeAimless life is certainly a sin. Many people have no definite aim in life. They are like the travelers going a head without any destination. Such people lead an aimless life and what they do in life, is largely a matter of chance, determined by the circumstances in which they happen to be placed. Aimless people do not achieve any thing in life. They just live because they have to live. One should have a definite purpose of life. The people who want success in life, first of all, determine their target. They keep before them their circumstances, their virtuous, their qualities, their talents and their ability to work. They select some definite target of their life and remain successful.
Different people have different aims in life. Some aim at wealth, some at power, some at fame, some at business and some at education and knowledge. My aim is neither wealth nor fame. I wish to serve by country with best of my talent. I love Pakistan and I really believe that every body should think to make it a really great country.
I want to become a doctor. It is a noble profession. In medical line, there is much more scope of service. On cen serve the patients every where in the country. This is my personal choice. My parents have compelled me to select it. I wish to become a very successful doctor in future. So I am studying hard to achieve my target. I have keen intrest in medical line, so I do not feel any trouble in strudying at all. After obtaining the medical degree, I plan to work in rural areas where there is much shortage of doctors. My father is well off man and I do not have any financial problem. I do not have the lust of money. I will go to the rural areas and shall help the poor people. I would be best sort of service. This will give me extreme satisfaction and that is the aim of my life.
I know, my profession is very dignified and it will help me to get peace and satisfaction in life. It provides you best chances of service. Sympathy to human being is the sympathy to one own self.

Montenegro is a tiny country in southeastern Europe that's bordered by Croatia to the west, Bosnia & Herzegovina to the northwest, Serbia to the northeast, Kosovo to the east and Albania to the southeast. With a little over 620,000 citizens, its population is one of the smallest in Europe. During my short trip to Croatia, I had the privilege of going on a day trip to Montenegro, and I had a nice day.
From our base in Dubrovnik, the Croatia-Montenegro border is about an hour away and, therefore, easy to reach by car or tour bus (we used a tour company).
Montenegro has a storied history, but those of us familiar with the country's recent times may know about the turbulence it experienced during the 20th century, especially toward the end of the 20th century. I won't go into it on this blog, but you can read about it on Wikipedia (more accurate than many Wikipedia links). Montenegro declared its independence from Serbia on 3rd June 2006 and reached European Union candidate status in 2010. Montenegro used German marks for currency at one point – it never had its own currency – but now uses the euro.
Montenegro borders the Adriatic Sea to the southwest, which affords it a nice coastline – 183 miles (295 kilometers) – with temperatures averaging over 80º Fahrenheit (27º Celsius) during summer months. It was hotter than average when I went. Our tour bus drove along the coast, and the photo below shows one of the first towns we stopped in to take photos. I can't remember the exact name, but it was close to Herceg-Novi, near the Croatia-Montenegro border.
We took a short break on the way to a guided tour. Check out the view.
Our guided walking tour was in the old town centre of Kotor, Montenegro, situated on the Gulf of Kotor. It's recognised as a World Heritage Site and chock full of history. It's now popular with cruise ships; when we went, there were many ships, boats & yachts docked in port. Since Montenegro shares the Adriatic Sea with Italy (among other countries), visitors interested in history will notice the heavy Venetian influence embedded in Kotor's architecture and overall atmosphere.
And check out the view from the top – an outside restaurant & bar.
After leaving Kotor, we drove along the coast to Budva, which is making a name for itself as a Riviera town. Before we got to Budva city proper, though, we made a quick rest stop to photograph the following beautiful sight on the Riviera – Sveti Stefan town-hotel.
The Budva Riviera is popular during the summer months; there's plenty of sun, sand & sea mixed in with casinos & vibrant nightlife. Montenegro, in general, is popular with Russians, and this is more so with Budva. There are signs translated into Russian, and Russians finance a sizeable amount of house (and other) construction projects along the Budva Riviera.
I couldn't get many photos of Budva because my main camera died 😐 but at least I have memories. For you the readers, however, here's a snapshot of my late lunch in Budva.
We made our way back to Croatia soon after Budva.
I enjoyed myself, especially in Kotor since I like history and old structures. I'd consider returning to Montenegro on my own, staying for no more than 2-3 days to explore historical sites. If you're more into sun, sand & sea vacations, consider staying anywhere along the Budva Riviera for longer than that.

CAMP ATTERBURY, Ind. — "I thought I was going to die," Staff Sgt. Alec Haralovich pondered as he lay on his back in Afghanistan.
On Oct. 4, Taliban fighters ambushed his patrol of dismounted Marines with automatic gunfire. The enemy's aim was accurate. Two bullets had struck his body armor with such force that he was knocked backward into the dirt.
Haralovich had seen all the signs. It was quiet as they patrolled Ghorah, a village that was usually filled with people.
"As we were pushing through we were all feeling confident like we were going to get a drop on these guys," thought Haralovich, who is from Bloomington, Ind. "They're not going to have anywhere to run to."
He was wrong. The insurgents set up a complex ambush that lured his Marines into a death trap.
Haralovich didn't let his fears get the best of him though. He had survived two other combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. A reconnaissance Marine who knows how to treat his own wounds, Haralovich applied pressure to his side while he checked for bleeding.
There was no blood.
"I was really angry," he recalled. "I was angry because it basically was like they had duped us, they had out maneuvered us, outsmarted us."
Haralovich's combat medic, Cpl. Matthew Chen, bounded forward to treat Haralovich who he thought was critically wounded. However, Haralovich was only shot in his armor, so he yelled at Chen to get back.
As Chen was returning, he was wounded in the leg, with a minor grazing wound from an enemy bullet.
"That's when I was like, time for the rocket shot," he said. "It's time to end this now."
He yelled for a Marine to bring him the M72 Light Anti-Tank Weapon, a rocket launcher that can disable a tank. He knew this weapon well. He trained extensively with it on active duty before he became a reconnaissance man in the Reserves.
Haralovich and his team bounded forward through an open field toward the enemy, while two of his Marines were sending rounds steadily to the enemy. Haralovich armed his rocket launcher. He knew he had to hurry because those two Marines were laying prone, shooting with less than one foot of cover.
"Running out with a prepped LAW on your shoulder, you're definitely a target, I realized like halfway into the field," Haralovich remembered. "I had to basically hurry up, take the shot."
Haralovich fired. The explosion blew up the enemy stronghold and caused all of the attackers to cease fire and retreat. But Haralovich and the Marines weren't finished. He wasn't just going to let insurgents attack them.
Haralovich tried to communicate with the other element but he couldn't. One of the rounds that struck his armor also ruined his radio.
He had to go back and link up to get a face-to-face with his other patrol element. Then both elements patrolled forward as a bigger, stronger unit.
"We knew there was a command and control element that was well known within the region that was near this mosque so we pushed to the north," Haralovich said. "We pushed toward that area, ran into a couple more fighters. They were surprised to see us and then they took off."
With the insurgents nowhere to be seen, Haralovich gathered his men and headed back to the patrol base. His company commander, Capt. Jonathan Joseph, said he had to convince him to rest after he had returned.
For his gallantry in action, Haralovich was presented the Silver Star Medal, the nation's third highest award for combat heroism, by Maj. Gen. James M. Lariviere, the 4th Marine Division Commanding General at Camp Atterbury in Indiana Aug. 26.
More than 100 Marines, sailors, soldiers, family and friends attended the event at the training base. This was the same place where his grandfather, an Army veteran, was stationed before serving in D-Day in 1944. So it was also a historical occasion for Haralovich and his immediate and extended family members who attended the ceremony.
"I'd have to say that he's made me extremely proud," said Peter Haralovich, Alec's uncle. "We followed his three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and communicated with him regularly by satellite phone and email. We've experienced the stress that any family experiences. And of course we're relieved that he's healthy and in one piece and looking forward to the rest of his career in the United States military."
"I couldn't be prouder," said Joseph, who is from New York City. "Not just because he got the award. What he did that day, he did that countless other times. It wasn't just an isolated incident. He did that every day. He was by far the best team leader I have ever had."
According to his uncle, heroics run in his family. Haralovichs' have fought as Marines in the Pacific and executed bombing missions as soldiers in Germany during World War II. Haralovich now adds a new daring chapter to his family's long legacy of war fighters who have lived for something greater themselves.

Welcome to Used Car Face Off, where we find two similar or similarly priced used cars and ask you which one you would buy. Choose wisely!
What makes a good coupe? Is it style, performance or just the two doors that say, "To hell with practicality, don't complain about getting into the back of my car"? All of those are good points.
In the case of the two coupes here today, one has style, one has performance and both have practicality issues in the form of being absurdly expensive but interesting pieces of automotive history.
A Renault 17 owner is an interesting person, that's a fact. Actually, will all the Renault 17 owners in the room please stand up? That's what I thought. Well, there's going to be a new one, since this 1978 17 Gordini is up for sale. Introduced in 1971, the 17 accurately predicted the wedge trend that would proliferate through the decade and while it probably dated very quickly, it's interestingly '70s for now.
The 17 was based off of the 12 sedan, but the only thing that should mean to you is that it was front-wheel drive with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder with about 100-and-some horsepower. Not fast, but economical for posing speeds. Odd, since this is the "performance" Gordini model, but probably perfect in practice because of that massive sliding fabric roof. How French.
Believe it or not, the 17 was officially sold through US Renault dealers in the '70s and was the predecessor to that laugh of the '80s, the Fuego. I have an unquestionable soft spot for the Fuego and an even bigger admiration for the 17. Compared to a Capri or a Manta, it looks so much more adventurous – which is what a slow coupe should be. This is probably one of the best remaining examples out there, so the $12,000 asking price is a lot, but not ridiculous.
It's absolutely reasonable compared to $20,500 for a 1982 BMW 320is. The E21 was a relatively popular car that was wedged between the legend that the 2002 was and the legend the E30 that followed became. Tough crowd.
Not to say the E21 is to be ignored. It's like an extra-strength version of all of the classic BMW styling cues and hard to believe the design is nearly 40 years old. It may only be an emissions-restricted 1.8-liter four, but through a five-speed manual and in a car that doesn't weigh much (and is rear-wheel drive, after all) it's more of a driving machine than the Renault wedge will ever be. And just look at the logical position of the radio.
E21s aren't the most uncommon sights and perhaps they aren't as iconic as a 2002. That's why the price on this one, as much of a time machine as it is, seems awfully steep – even for a 320is that has sporting bits like a bigger antiroll bar and limited-slip diff.
Which is why I'd be really different and take the Renault. It's not going to be a daily driver. It's not going to be a performance machine. It will be an attention-grabber, though, and that's kind of the point, right?

As weird as it seems, Octomom Nayda Suleman is thinking about getting a pig to entertain her brood of 14. Needless to say lots of questions have popped up in the newsroom regarding this story. (Like how many kids can a pig suckle anyway?)
Here's the latest:
For a couple of years, the kids have been asking for a dog," Suleman said. "I've actually been looking into a pig, like a little one."
Suleman, 33, gained notoriety after giving birth to the world's longest-living octuplets on Jan. 26 at Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center. Suleman is single, unemployed and already had six other children younger than 8. She was supporting the family using food stamps, disability payments and student loans.
Since the news of her unusual family broke, Suleman has cashed in on her fame, selling interviews and photos for undisclosed sums.
She recently purchased a $564,000 house in La Habra and has been seen shopping for designer clothes in Los Angeles.
Suleman said if the family were to buy a pig, it would wear a diaper and live primarily outside because of the smell.

Wolven Threads eco-friendly range of swim, surf and athletic wear is inspired by nature and the need to protect our planet for generations to come. Made with OEKO-Tex certified Recycled P.E.T fabric, a fabric that is made from recycled plastic bottles and free from harmful and toxic chemicals.Wolven Threads is an eco-friendly swim, surf and athletic line. Their fabric patterns are inspired by sacred geometry found in nature. From beautiful cacti to magnificent forests, mother nature grows spectacular intoxicating patterns. The vibrant colors of Wolven Threads garments are inspired by the colors of Indian art, celebration and the roots of yoga. Each fabric pattern is created in house by founder Kiran Jade and co-founder Will Ryan.
More than just a beautifully designed range of swim, surf and athletic wear, Wolven Threads is also a forward thinking, innovative company that takes sustainability and protecting our planet seriously with a mentality to give back.
Fashion is the #1 polluting industry behind big oil. As far as Kiran is concerned, there is absolutely no excuse to not be a sustainable brand. There is so much technology out there being developed to clean up all aspects of the garment manufacturing process, ranging from the development of sustainable fabrics like recycled P.E.T, (made from recycled plastic bottles), and natural fibers like bamboo and hemp, to the creation of less harmful and toxic dyes, and solar powered factories. Kiran believes it is her generation's responsibility to strive to reverse the damage that's been done to earth, to protect and heal our planet so that it is habitable for generations to come.
Wolven Threads is inspired by Kiran's Eastern heritage, being half Indian and half Pakistani, she takes her inspiration from the beautiful geometric patterns found in Hindu mandalas and Islamic architecture along with the colors found in Indian textiles. Kiran started working on Wolven Threads fabric patterns and cut patterns while in college at Art Center. During this time she was also in Yoga teacher training and wanted to find a way to merge all her favorite things – art, yoga, fashion, and sustainability.
Wolven Theads sustainability practices are rooted in a deep appreciation for our earth. They believe in always making the sustainable and mindful choice when it comes to what you put in and on your body. Wolven Thread believe that beautiful fashion should not come at the expense of our planet.
Wolven Thread garments are made with OEKO-TEX certified Recycled P.E.T fabric (RPET), a fabric made from recycled plastic water bottles. The fabric is created by breaking down existing plastic that is currently clogging up our landfills and polluting our oceans. This certification ensures that their material is free of harmful and toxic chemicals.
An estimated 14 billion pounds of garbage is dumped into the ocean each year, 80 percent of which is a form of plastic that is killing off marine life and polluting what was once a healthy and thriving eco system. RPET creates a second life for plastics, helping to keep plastic out of our planet's delicate eco systems.
Wolven Thread use carbon-neutral wood-pulp fibers sustainably harvested in Austria, woven & printed with natural dyes in Brazil and
cut and sewn in Los Angeles. Modal is a sustainable cellulose fiber derived from beechwood pulp that's twice as soft as conventional cotton. Modal fibers are produced in an environmentally responsible way from the pulp through to the fiber. Modal is naturally soft on the skin and exceptionally ecological.
The way that beech trees grow is truly special. They multiply by "rejuvenation" which means that the trees propagate by themselves. No artificial irrigation or planting is required. Thus beechwood forests are a completely natural and sustainable source of raw material. Beechwood from forests which apply prevailing forestry legislation and sustainable methods is used exclusively.
The environmental footprint of Modal is a positive one – it's carbon-neutral, requires less land per tonne than cotton fibres and has a water consumption level that's ten to twenty times less than that of cotton.
5% of Wolven Thread profits are donated to the sacred practice of yoga into incarcerated settings, teaching yoga to at-risk youth. With yoga being a meaningful tool for positive growth in her own life, Kiran wanted to share the gift of yoga to help empower kids and teens.
Yoga and mindfulness are incredible tools for healing and transforming, providing a physical and sometimes spiritual outlet. The practice of yoga helps to quiet the mind, leading to better focus, less anxiety, and more self confidence. With the kids and teens Wolven Threads work with being victims of domestic abuse, human sex trafficking, involvement in gangs and with histories of substance abuse. Yoga is an amazing tool to help them cope with difficult emotions and challenging situations.
Wolven Threads fabric have been created for athletic performance of all needs. Loved by surfers, kayakers and climbers alike, Wolven Threads garments are mositure-wicking, antimicrobial, odor resistant and quick-drying.
Wolven Threads garments are all transitional pieces, perfect for a beach yoga session to brunch with friends. Their yoga tops double as the perfect crop top, their leggings look great styled with a knit sweater and their one-piece swimsuits wear beautifully as bodysuits when paired with a favourite pair of high-waisted jeans.

How come the countries that can't feed their populations have lately started testing long-range ballistic missiles? India fired a guided missile last week that can deliver a nuclear payload as far as Beijing, and North Korea's rocket turned out to be as unguided as that country's government. Then Pakistan had to rattle its sabre, too.
Pyongyang's disastrous totalitarianism has made that starving country a case study in how an outdated ideology can allow despotic dynasties to survive in the 21st century and use nuclear blackmail to get the world to feed it. India, on the other hand, may be rising and shining but half its children are still undernourished. Pakistan should have other priorities than firing expensive rockets into the sky.
Having nuclear warheads and the rockets to deliver them, do not a more secure country make. It's not just tyrants who are obsessed with military security, elected democratic leaders supposedly accountable to the welfare of their citizens do so, too. Part of the reason could be that ever since the Pharaohs and the Greeks, the history of empires have been based on the glorious battles they fought to expand territory. The modern history of nation states are annals of military conquests, history books are long lists of leaders who killed large numbers of people to get to power. Histories are rarely about ordinary people, they ignore descriptions of the everyday life and the sarifice made by citizens during the reign of Mr So-and-so the Great.
To this day, security is wholly defined in the framework of national sovereignty and the need to guard sacrosanct frontiers of nation states. Our obsession with expanding and defending territory shows we have evolved little from mammals who have to regularly irrigate the perimeters of their domains. That is why we reserve a special place for militaries in our nation states. When it comes to the army, even the most democratic nations shroud them in inordinate secrecy, they give the brass unquestioned leeway, and a lavish budget.
Numerically, South Asia has most of the world's poor. If governments in our part of the world were really concerned about the welfare of their citizens, they would pay less attention to military security and pay more for social security. Traditionally, security has always been about training people to kill other people, whereas human security is about trying to save people's lives.
One of the early proponents of human security in South Asia was the late Mahbub Ul-haq who used figures and statistics to prove just how absurd the military budgets of India and Pakistan were in relation to the mass deprivation of citizens in both countries. If Pakistani leaders had listened to Ul-haq and done more in the 1990s to ensure education, health and jobs, perhaps the country wouldn't be in the explosive political situation it is in today.
Here in Nepal, the successful conclusion of the peace process offers the opportunity to turn our attention to long-term peace building. An essential part of that must be to harness the peace dividend by cutting back on our bloated military budget, as well as investing in human security.
The induction of ex-Maoist combatants and extra Madhesis into the army are political compromises, and make a mockery of the glaring need for Security Sector Reform. There is no reason to keep the Armed Police Force, the paramilitary army that was set up to fight the insurgency. And if we must have a military, its size must be slashed to focus on disaster relief, infrastructure and UN peacekeeping.
In the constitution debates, our leaders split hairs about presidential and parliamentary systems. But if we look around the region, we see democratic governments so beholden to their militaries that they have no money left for anti-poverty programs, but we also have governments that may not be democratic but have done a much better job in cutting military spending to ensure social welfare. We can have any kind of government we like, but it must put human security at the top of the agenda.
For Nepal's long-term peace, underlying social injustice, discrimination, exclusion and inequities must be addressed. Maintaining an outsized, expensive army drains resources away from human development. The threats to Nepal's survival come not from external invaders, but from domestic instability caused by the state's neglect of its citizens.

Liberian women act to end civil war, 2003
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
In 2000, Liberia's second civil war broke out. Liberian President Charles Taylor and his military forces, who had taken over Liberia in 1989 during the first civil war, experienced attacks from the Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy (LURD). LURD consisted of various anti-Taylor militant groups led by warlords who were not given a role in Taylor's government. By 2002, over 200,000 individuals had died in the conflict. In 2003 yet another anti-Taylor rebel group, the Movement for Democracy in Liberia (MODEL), joined the fight to rid Liberia of the Taylor regime.
As the war raged throughout the countryside, soldiers on both sides of the conflict looted and burned villages, raped women, and recruited young boys to fight. Thousands of individuals fled their homes and made their way to Monrovia, the capital of Liberia, where they lived in camps without much food or drinking water.
In reaction to the conflict, social worker Leymah Gbowee decided to bring women from her church together to protest the war. (Gbowee was to win the Nobel Peace Prize in 2011.) First appealing to the Lutheran Church to which she belonged, Gbowee recruited several hundred Christian women to pray for peace. At one of their meetings in March 2003, a Muslim, Asatu Bah Kenneth, spoke to the crowd and proclaimed that she would bring Muslim women to join with the Christian women in demanding peace from the president and the warlords.
On April 1, the united group of Christian and Muslim women staged their first protest. Using the radio to spread the word, Gbowee and Janet Johnson Bryant, a journalist, encouraged the women of Monrovia to speak out for peace. Hearing their call on the radio, many internally displaced women joined the campaign as well. Wearing all white clothing the women gathered at the fish market every day for a week. They sat, danced, and sang for peace. Some held banners that read, "The women of Liberia want peace now."
Their location at the fish market was a strategic one, as the land was visible from President Taylor's residence. Every day, Taylor's motorcade passed the women. As the week went on, over 2,500 women gathered on the market lawn. They agreed that they would go on a sex strike, denying their partners intimacy until the war had ended. Seeing that men were the perpetrators of the violence, the Liberian women felt that if they were to withhold sex, their partners would also pray for peace and support an end to the war.
That week, rebel forces along with Taylor's army attacked the displacement camps in Monrovia. The activist women held a candlelight vigil to pray for those in the camps. As the violence escalated, the international community called for peace talks. The women seconded the call, urging Taylor and the rebels to negotiate. Both sides refused.
On April 11, the Women of Liberia Mass Action for Peace, as they had named themselves, issued a "Position Statement on the Liberian Crisis." Staying outside the political realm for fear of persecution, the women stated their goal as simply being that of peace. They erected a billboard at the fish market, which read, "The women of Liberia say peace is our goal, peace is what matters, peace is what we need."
Bearing this message, the women marched through the streets of Monrovia, while hundreds more joined the back of the group as it marched passed their homes. Their march concluded at Monrovia's Municipal Office where the women assembled, demanding a meeting with Taylor to present him with their position statement. By this point over 1,000 women had gathered. Taylor then agreed to a meeting.
On April 23, the women visited Taylor. Gbowee presented him with the statement onstage while the rest of the women sat in the audience, holding hands and praying. After the meeting, Taylor agreed that he would attend peace talks.
Next the group targeted the rebels, demanding that they too agree to attend the peace talks. Upon hearing that the warlords would be meeting in Freetown, Sierra Leone, a contingent of the women traveled to the city. Locating the hotel where the rebel leaders were gathered, some of the Liberian women lined the streets while others sat in front of the hotel, refusing to leave until they were given a meeting with the warlords. Their sit-in brought media attention, helping to further spread their message of peace to the international community. The women soon met the leaders of LURD and MODEL and convinced them to attend the peace talks, to be held in Accra, Ghana.
In order to keep the pressure on the rebels and the President to reach a settlement, the women raised money to send a group to Accra. On June 4, the peace talks began. The women who had traveled from Liberia gathered on the lawn out front of the peace building, singing and holding signs. During the course of the Accra negotiations Taylor was indicted for war crimes by an international court in Sierra Leone. In order to escape arrest, he fled back to Liberia.
Soon after his fleeing, a full-scale war broke out in Monrovia even while the peace talks continued in Ghana. Civilians who felt unsafe were told to go to the football field and thousands sought refuge there. Despite the attacks on Monrovia, the women who had not gone to Ghana continued to pray at the fish market.
On July 21, the violence in Monrovia escalated as a missile hit the American embassy compound, killing many displaced Liberians who were sheltered there. The women in Ghana sent for reinforcements, planning to stage a major action in Accra. They went to the doors of the building where the negotiations were taking place and sat down, linking arms. They surrounded the building and refused to let the delegates leave until a settlement was made.
When the guards came to arrest the women, Gbowee threatened to remove her clothing, an act that would shame the men. Her threat prevented security from removing the women. To end the stand-off, the Ghanaian President, the chief mediator of the peace talks, agreed to meet with the women and hear their pleas for peace, provided they remove themselves from outside the negotiating building. The women agreed to do so on the condition that if the meeting were unsatisfactory they would be allowed to return to the building.
Three weeks later, on 11 August, Taylor resigned from the presidency of Liberia and terms for the peace agreement were announced. Taylor was exiled to Nigeria, UN Peacekeeping forces (UNMIL) were ordered to enter Monrovia, and a transitional government was put in place to begin the process of holding democratic elections. Having won their settlement, the Liberian women returned to their country. Upon arriving they held a march of victory. Hundreds of children followed the women through the streets shouting, "We want peace, no more war!"
On 4 August, international peacekeeping troops entered Liberia. The women gathered together and decided that they would have to stay involved to ensure that the transitional government implemented the peace agreement.
In December, UNMIL began the disarmament process, urging ex-combatants to surrender their weapons for cash. Hundreds of individuals with guns converged on the disarmament location. Though the event was expected to be peaceful, a small fight broke out and guns were used. The Liberian women intervened to help the disarmament; among other things they presented a radio address that encouraged the ex-combatants to remain calm.
Over the next two years, the Women of Liberia Mass Action for Peace group aided the government in bringing about democratic elections. They registered voters and set up polling stations. On November 23, 2005, the Liberian people elected their country's first female president, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. (Sirleaf was to share the Nobel Peace Prize in 2011 with Gbowee.)
Upon the election, the Liberian women for peace officially concluded their mass action campaign and ended their gatherings at the fish market. They succeeded in ending their country's civil war and brought peace to their nation by supporting the democratic elections.

BEAVER, Ohio — The funeral for an Ohio soldier among 5 killed in what has been described as a friendly fire airstrike in Afghanistan is scheduled at his former high school.
Services for Army Specialist Justin Helton, of Beaver, are set for Monday at Eastern High School. Helton attended the school in Beaver, about a two-hour drive south of Columbus.
Helton was one of five soldiers who died June 9 in southern Afghanistan, while serving as part of a joint security operation. The Pentagon said Helton was assigned to the 18th Ordnance Company out of Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
Hundreds of people lined U.S. 23 on Saturday to honor the 25-year-old soldier as a procession escorting his hearse traveled from Rickenbacker Airport in Columbus to a funeral home in Waverly.

A colleague of mine was working for the FDA at the time, and had to sit through hours of testimony on them. He sent me this remarkable e-mail after one:
"Today we had a military doc testify. He told us that the drugs are important in military use, because they can get injured soldiers back into battle sooner.
"He finished his speech by declaring 'Soldiers need COX-2!'
"And that just doesn't sound good when spoken."

2-6-14 DNR News Release: Feeding deer banned in Shawano and Waupaca counties
MADISON - The baiting and feeding of white-tailed deer is now banned in Waupaca and Shawano counties, the state Department of Natural Resources reports.
The ban, required by state law, went into effect today. The action was spurred by the discovery of a CWD-positive white-tailed deer in November on a privately owned captive deer farm in Marathon County. Implementation was delayed to avoid interference with deer hunting during the ongoing 2013 deer season at the time of discovery.
Shawano and Waupaca counties are within a 10-mile radius of the Marathon County property on which this CWD-positive captive deer was found. State law requires that counties within a 10-mile radius of a game farm or free-ranging CWD-positive are included in the baiting and feeding prohibition.
The baiting and feeding of deer is now banned in 35 of Wisconsin's 72 counties.
"We understand that this may be disappointing news to some who use bait for deer hunting or are feeding deer for enjoyment or because they are seeking to help them through this winter," said Jeff Pritzl, DNR wildlife supervisor for northeast Wisconsin.
"Supplemental winter feeding of deer unnecessarily increases the risk of spreading CWD and other diseases by concentrating deer activity at one spot. Long-term herd health is important to preserving our great hunting tradition. It is a foundation of tourism and vital to local businesses. This outweighs any possible benefit to individual deer or deer watchers provided by feeding."
For more information search the DNR website for "baiting and feeding regulations."
Individuals can still feed birds and small mammals provided the feeding devices are at a sufficient height or are otherwise designed to prevent access by deer and the feeding device is within 50 yards of a human dwelling. This ban does not affect the use of bait for hunting bear or training bear dogs.
Learn more about CWD at knowcwd.com or go to the DNR website dnr.wi.gov search the keyword "CWD."
A map of affected counties and rule specifics are on the department's Web site.

A group of neigbors say they've been left in the dark about a pharmaceutical company's intention to increase its storage quota of an unknown chemical.
A group of Area 4 residents say they've been left in the dark about a pharmaceutical company's intention to increase its storage capacity of an unknown chemical.
"Plain and simple, we want to know what's going into that building, and what's coming out of those exhaust vents," said Market Street resident Peter Lindquist. "We want to know what it is they're pumping out, and what is the risk in all this."
Idenix, the pharmaceutical company, says it isn't required to make the information public, at the same time as it's seeking a license from the city to store 12 times the volume of solvents currently in its Hampshire Street facility.
Earlier this year, Idenix — through its landlord, Metropolitan Life Insurance — applied to the city for a license to store a maximum of 2,000 gallons of Class 1 flammable solvents in its facility at the corner of Hampshire and Clark streets. Currently, the company is allowed to store 165 gallons of Class 1 solvents.
The company's hearing in front of the License Commission, which began April 24, is scheduled to resume Sept. 25.
The sharp increase in volume has many Area 4 residents upset for many reasons. Principal among their concerns, Lindquist said, are the health and safety questions he said have gone largely unanswered.
What's going into the buildings, according to Idenix spokesperson Teri Dahlman, could be a matter of federal law. Dalhman said Idenix would not reveal any information that may violate the Homeland Security Act, which includes restrictions on information regarding chemical facilities. A letter sent from the company's assistant facilities director to the License Commission states that Idenix is currently working internally to determine an "effective and responsible manner in which to communicate information on solvents being used by researchers."
"Idenix wants to be a good neighbor," Dahlman said. "We're working with [the city] to make sure that this is done in an appropriate way."
One chemical the neighbors said they've confirmed the company is currently storing in their facility — by sight only — is dichloromethane, a known carcinogen commonly used in pharmaceutical manufacturing, according to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. Dahlman said she would neither confirm nor deny the neighbors' claim.
Greg Tkac, who lives next to the Idenix facility on Hampshire Street, said the residents have never been told whether or not the presence of dichloromethane vapor — or any of the other chemicals — in the building's exhaust could be hazardous to their health.
"I think we would all love to know nothing dangerous is coming out of that building," Tkac said. "However, if that was in fact the case, then why not just come out and say that?"Asked the same question, Dahlman offered no comment.
Earlier this summer, the city's Public Health Department was asked to broker an agreement between Idenix and the residents. According to the department's director of environmental health, Sam Lipson, Idenix agreed to conduct an independent risk assessment survey of its facility.
"It's perfectly reasonable for [the residents] to be concerned," Lipson said. "My sense is that there's very little chance [the risk assessment survey] will generate any statistical lifetime risk to that neighborhood, but I won't draw any conclusion until I've seen the assessment."
Despite the agreement to perform the risk assessment, several of the abutters said they believe Idenix has every expectation that the license will be granted, whatever the results of the survey.
"It certainly seems as though they've got a lot invested in it," Linda Lindquist said, pointing out several new ventilation ducts that have been added to the building's rooftop since 2005.
"I think they feel as though we'll slack off and go away," she added. "Well, they're wrong."
"There is this feeling that they didn't tell us what's going on over there," Tkac said. "Then there was this promise that they would check it out, but we look over at them now and it seems pretty clear they think they're going to get the license. There isn't much faith that this company is coming through and showing true colors."

Editor's note: Are you in Nairobi, Kenya? Share your pictures and videos but please, stay safe.
(CNN) -- The carnage began early in the afternoon on Saturday at Nairobi's Westgate Shopping Mall, with gunshots shattering the calm of a popular weekend meeting spot where Kenyans and expatriates shop for groceries, grab a coffee or catch a movie.
The ensuing hostage standoff left dozens of people dead and hundreds more wounded.
Two days later, the Kenyan authorities claim to have regained control of the complex, but the stories of those who escaped paint a terrifying picture of how the attack unfolded:
Ben Mulwa: Caught in parking lot
It was about 12:50 p.m. when Ben Mulwa, a Nairobi County politician, and a friend pulled into the multilevel parking garage attached to the five-story mall.
Mulwa, who was at Westgate for a lunch meeting at the Java House, was parking the car when he heard a gunshot, he told the NTV television channel.
His first thought: It's a robbery. Then came the rapid gunfire.
He said he got out of the car and hid near the main entrance of the parking lot.
That's when he saw some of the attackers -- four men wearing checked head scarves and carrying "very long rifles." They didn't cover their faces, he said.
He could hear them but couldn't understand them. "It sounded like a variation of Swahili," he said.
Then they turned their guns in Mulwa's direction, taking aim at a security guard hiding near him.
"He was shot in the head, and he died instantly," he said.
Then they fired at him, aiming for his head. A bullet grazed him in the head, he said. He also suffered a gunshot wound to the leg.
The gunmen then calmly turned and walked into the mall, Mulwa said.
By all accounts, more gunmen were making their way into the mall through other entrances.
Not seeing the attackers was part of the terror
Bendita Malakia: Refuge in a store
It was shortly after noon when Bendita Malakia of Elizabeth City, North Carolina, made her way into the mall to have lunch with a friend when the attack began, she told CNN affiliate WAVY via Skype.
Malakia, who moved to Nairobi in July to work with a financial company, was in the middle of lunch on the mall's terrace when the gunmen stormed the area, throwing what she believes were hand grenades and firing assault rifles.
"We stood up and started to turn, and we heard machine guns. Then, we started to run and there was a second explosion, which knocked us on the ground," Malakia told WAVY.
Malakia and her friend got up and ran to a store where dozens of people had taken refuge. Once inside, the store manager pulled down a metal gate at the store's entrance to try to prevent the gunmen from coming in, she said.
But it didn't block out the sounds of the gunmen.
"While we were back there, you could hear them methodically going from store to store, talking to people and asking questions," Malakia said.
"They were shooting, screaming. Then it would stop for a while and they would go to another store."
Four hours later, Malakia and her friend were rescued by security forces.
Malakia believes she was "completely lucky" because she was on the ground floor when the assault began and where she was hiding was easily accessible to her rescuers.
Al-Shabaab breaks new ground with complex Kenya attack
Andrew McLaren: About to leave Kenya
Andrew McLaren and his wife, Kathy, were at a coffee shop near the mall entrance of the Nakumatt Supermarket, one of Kenya's biggest chain grocery stores, when the attack began, his mother told TVNZ.
The couple, who had been in Kenya for work, were enjoying one of their last weekends in Nairobi before returning to their native New Zealand.
The two dropped to the ground for cover, according to Elaine McLaren-Crawley, who recounted a conversation with her daughter-in-law.
But the gunmen sprayed the cafe with gunfire. "... Andrew was shot through the back as he and Kathy lay on the floor of the coffee house," McLaren-Crawley said.
It wasn't immediately clear from the report how the McLarens escaped the mall.
McLaren was listed in stable condition at the Aga Khan hospital, his mother said.
Safety: Can the mall attack happen again?
Uche Kaigwa-Okoye: 'We were really scared'
Uche Kaigwa-Okoye was sipping coffee when he heard what first sounded like a fallen table, then the continuing rat-a-tat of gunfire. As the gunshots became louder, screaming crowds headed for the exits.
He joined 20 people who took shelter for about five hours in a women's bathroom cubicle.
"We were really scared," he said. "Every sound sounded scary. We couldn't make out sounds, and they had grenades. It was really, really loud ... They must have passed our corridor several times. We heard gunshots down our corridor," he told CNN.
Some people ventured out but quickly returned, saying it was unsafe.
Kaigwa-Okoye heard firing but then realized police had arrived on the floor where he was hiding in the restroom. They were firing tear gas.
Officers told them to walk out single file and made them throw away their bags.
Zulobia Kassam: 'Random shots from everywhere'
Zulobia Kassam had just finished a cup of coffee at a cafe when she made here way toward the mall entrance to the Nakumatt Supermarket to pick up a few items.
"We entered and the lights went off," she said. She waited for the generator to kick in, but instead she heard gunshots and saw people running.
"We rushed to the back and hid ourselves," Kassam told CNN.
"We heard random shots from everywhere -- upstairs, downstairs ... we even heard shots 30 feet from us," she said.
"People were petrified, crying, praying," she said.
Kassam hid for more than two hours when a security person arrived and said it was safe to flee. She and others walked through a storage area.
"We saw lots of blood, sandals and shoes," she said.
She made it outside to the main road.
And even at what seemed a safe distance, she again heard shooting in the distance.
Al-Shabaab grew amid Somalia's lawlessness
Sara Head: 'I thought it was a car accident'
American Sara Head told CNN she had just parked after leaving a meeting a few blocks from the mall when she heard three shots.
"I thought actually, it was a car accident, I thought someone had been rear-ended. Then I saw people running and my colleague, who worked elsewhere, recognized the sound of gunshots and she yelled at me and we and other people in the parking garage began crawling underneath cars and behind cars and we heard more shots so we began running."
Head, her colleague and their driver followed several other people into the stairwell of the garage.
"We had gone down into the parking garage so I thought when I entered the stairwell that I would just go up one level and I would be able to exit -- and that was not the case," she said.
"There were two people in the stairwell with me who were superficially wounded from gunshots. When we initially entered the stairwell we kept going up and then we heard shots above us so we ended up staying there for about an hour and a half."
The door to the supermarket then reopened, the lights came on and people began exiting, she said.
"I was very, very hesitant because there was no information to tell me that it was safe to exit. It was just that the people in front of me were exiting, Head said.
"I was sort of a sheep following everyone else in front of me and I was very eager of course to get outside and as far away from the situation as possible."

Nnenna Akotaobi competed with her older brothers relentlessly while growing up in Thornton, Colorado.
In any pursuits they chose, she was not far behind: When Akotaobi's brother Uzo joined the city's summer track program, his sister refused to be outdone. She ran right after him – and in the process caught the eye of Thornton High School teacher and basketball coach Michael Granderson.
Today, the former NCAA Division I student-athlete is the associate director of athletics and senior woman administrator at Swarthmore. And, just five years removed from her student-athlete days, she is already a member of the Division III Management Council. When asked how she got where she is, Akotaobi points to those childhood experiences.
"I was definitely a late bloomer in basketball, but my development was so quick that it wasn't just something I did on my own," says Akotaobi, who turned that training and hard work into a full athletics scholarship to compete as a forward at the University of Denver, where she became the first student-athlete in the program's history to play in 120 games. "I owe all of that to what coach Granderson saw in me and how he developed me into a basketball player, a leader, an athlete and a captain."
As the daughter of a first-generation Nigerian-American family, Akotaobi had a traditional Nigerian upbringing at home, but her parents also encouraged her to embrace American customs. That background led her to seek similar experiences on Denver's campus, and she took note of the athletics department's diversity efforts.
"There was an associate position specifically for diversity and community relations," she says. "It really affected us to see a person of color as an administrator, but also somebody who really cared about making quality experiences for us as students of color."
As she approached graduation, Akotaobi searched for career opportunities that combined diversity with intercollegiate athletics. Finally, the right position opened in Division III's Midwest Conference. Akotaobi knew nothing about Division III, but five years later she considers taking the position to be the best decision of her career. While working at the conference office, Akotaobi developed a broad knowledge of the division. That experience led her to Grinnell in 2010, where she worked as coordinator for diversity and achievement in athletics and assistant coordinator for athletics facilities and event management. She left in 2012 to take her current post at Swarthmore.
"I look at our student-athletes and their experiences – getting to study abroad, pursuing other interests outside of sports, but still having a strong athletics identity – and I love it, that balance," she says.
As a young administrator, Akotaobi tends not to tell people her age. At a recent meeting, Division III Management Council members recalled an event that occurred in the 1980s, and asked whether she remembered it.
"I said, 'I think I was just an idea. I don't think I was quite born yet,'" Akotaobi says with a laugh. "It really shines a light on how privileged I am, to get the opportunities that I've had at such a young age."
Meet My Mentors
Michael Granderson
Girls Basketball Coach, Thornton High School
"I think that was the first person I could ever call a mentor, because he was so committed and dedicated — not just to the sports he coached, but the people he developed through those sports."
Peg Bradley-Doppes
Vice Chancellor for Athletics and Recreation, University of Denver
"So much of Peg is about empowering female administrators. She's phenomenal for forging gender equity and leadership for women in collegiate athletics. A lot of the women that she has mentored at the University of Denver have, in turn, supported me, in Peg's 'Tree of Mentorship,' so to speak."
Chris Graham
Former Commissioner, Midwest Conference
"He taught me a lot about professionalism and engaging myself in the division and the governance structure and conference structure, to gain all this knowledge about what it means to be a part of Division III."
Heather Benning
Commissioner, Midwest Conference;
Former Director of Athletics, Grinnell College
"She was very visionary where (my) position was concerned (coordinator for diversity and achievement in athletics). To me, it was such an innovative thing. They're popping up more and more now, especially in the past three or four years, because people are seeing how successful it is — particularly at the Division III level."

My friend Andy has a terrific post up about his ordeal settling with the photographer Jay Maisel over the threat of a copyright lawsuit. Chances are if, you're reading this, you know about that. If you haven't ready Andy's story, go and read it and then come back.
There's one pointed question I've seen crop up in a number of conversations about the settlement:
Isn't it wrong that Andy chose to pay the licensing fees for the music but not for the photograph?
This question makes the assumption that Andy could have paid the licensing fees to Maisel like he did for the music. He couldn't have. This is because Jay Maisel refused to license the image and there's no compulsory license for photography like there is for musical compositions.
A compulsory license is what it sounds like: the owner of the underlying musical composition is required, by law, to license it to anyone who wants to use it at a predetermined rate. This prohibits song writers from picking and choosing who gets to perform their works. It also allows Andy to license, at a fair rate, the underlying song compositions from a Miles Davis album to make a new album of original recordings (remember, copyrights to recordings are different from copyrights to the compositions of a song).
The copyright of photographic works, unlike works of music composition, is not subject to a compulsory license.

"I am Moth, a girl from the lowest part of Chrystie Street, born to a slum-house mystic and the man who broke her heart."
So starts The Virgin Cure, a poignant novel about a difficult subject, but handled gently by master storyteller Ami McKay. Moth is a desperately poor 12 year old girl sold into servitude by her mother. The year is 1871 and the place is New York City. Escaping the filth and squalor of the tenements, Moth finds herself in a brothel with her needs suddenly cared for and her belly full. But what will be expected of her strikes fear in her heart. A bounty will be paid for a virgin, making these young girls sought after by the 'madams' of the 'boarding houses'.
Virgins were at great risk during this time period because there was the mistaken notion that if a man suffering from syphilis slept with a virgin, he would be cured. However, the author is raising awareness of this issue also because "the time has not necessarily left us". This mythical cure is still encountered in Africa with AIDS.
Ami McKay's own historical great-great grandmother was a medical doctor during a time when it was difficult and courageous for women to be in that profession. She places her grandmother squarely in the middle of this story as an independent and compassionate medic. She did this in her other excellent novel The Birth House as well. Sadie is a wonderful character and brings an element of hope to the story. Her fierce independence and determination to survive is evident in Moth as well.
Canadian author McKay is skilled at historical fiction giving us an easy to read, compassionate insight into another time and place. She brings the time period alive and allows us to enter the story, be educated, and build empathy. In this book she uses sidebars with historical detail and primary sources to enhance the historical element. In an interview on CBC's 'The Next Chapter', McKay discusses how she did some of her research at the Tenement Museum in New York City. Here follows a brief interview with the author worth watching.

» Though a proposal in Amsterdam has been abandoned and freight transport in Zurich and Dresden is limited, Paris considers options for using its new tramways to move goods to stores.
There was a lot of excitement in the transportation press in mid-2007 when Amsterdam signed a deal to allow the transport of local goods by tramway beginning in 2008. In theory, fifty light rail trains operated by a company called CityCargo would move freight from warehouses to local stores without interruption along the city's existing and extensive passenger tracks, reducing the need for trucks in the city center by half while cutting down on pollution significantly. A network of 600 electric trucks would move the freight minimal distances from the trains to the stores.
Unfortunately, the company fell short of its goal to raise the €150 million necessary to commence operations and the city refused to subsidize the project, so the

HD Radio seems to have ended the year, at least subjectively, on something of an uptick -- at least it's been nice to see more positives than negatives on the 200-odd sources I scan in my blogroll, portable devices finally made it to consumers, and some decent transmitter power is on the horizon. [See George Williams' take in Radio 2020.]
iBiquity's CEO, Bob Struble, is of course a strong advocate for HD Radio and he does that in a new column for FMQB. But in particular he has some interesting and important words of caution for those of us who may be taking the vehicle as the unassailable bastion of radio listening. He writes:
... Don't get me wrong, AM/FM is still a fundamental part of the driving experience. Every car sold in this country comes with a radio, positioned square in the middle of some of the world's most valuable real estate – the car dashboard. But the days of AM/FM's monopoly hold on auto infotainment are long gone. ¶ AM/FM can no longer take for granted that it will be automatically built into cars, or that it will be used by drivers. No, radio has to fight for its position in the dash. The green flag has been waved in this race, and after starting in the pole position, radio is no longer leading the pack. ...
