DETROIT (Reuters) - General Motors Co's
The No. 1 U.S. automaker sold more than 4.85 million cars and light trucks in the first half as demand rose at least 7 percent in each of its two largest regions - International Operations, which includes China, and North America.
The results kept GM ahead of Germany's Volkswagen AG
Toyota Motor Corp <7203.T>, which sold the most cars globally last year, has not yet released its first-half global sales figures.
Last year, Toyota took back the title of world's largest automaker from GM as the Japanese automaker's 9.75 million sales topped GM (9.28 million) and VW (9.07 million). Toyota held the global sales crown from 2008 through 2010 but fell to third place in 2011 due to negative publicity after a U.S. recall crisis and a disrupted supply chain following an earthquake in Japan and floods in Thailand.
GM's smaller U.S. rival, Ford Motor Co
GM's International Operations, including the world's largest auto market, China, had a first-half sales rise of 7 percent to almost 1.92 million vehicles. In China, where GM is the market-share leader, sales jumped almost 11 percent to a record 1.57 million vehicles.
Sales in North America increased 7.7 percent to more than 1.64 million vehicles. U.S. sales rose 8 percent to 1.42 million.
Sales fell 6.5 percent in Europe to more than 797,000 vehicles, and were down 1 percent in South America to almost 497,000.
GM said its mainstream Chevrolet brand had a 1.4 percent rise in first-half global sales, to 2.5 million cars and trucks. Chevy sales rose in its three largest markets: the United States (up 5.6 percent to more to more than 1 million vehicles), China (up 6.1 percent to 322,000) and Brazil (up 5.1 percent to 305,000).
For VW, sales of its namesake brand rise 4.4 percent globally to 2.91 million vehicles in the first half.

Pussykat Tattoo Parlor has been in operation since 1999, but the business gained prominence after proprietor/artist Dirk Vermin was featured on A&E's Bad Ink in 2013. Fans of the program can not only meet the show's other co-stars, but can be inked by Dirk Vermin himself or one of the seven resident artists and a rotating guest star, who perform their artistry in private rooms. One of Vermin's specialties is cover-ups and transforming bad skin art into masterpieces. Pussykat Tattoo Parlor is centrally located in the Camelot Center on the corner of Tropicana & Maryland Parkway, across the street from The University of Las Vegas and just minutes from the Vegas Strip.

CHICAGO (AP) - The Chicago Fire have declined options on defender Gonzalo Segares, midfielder Corben Bone and goalie Jay Nolly.
Segares played in 178 games over eight seasons, scoring 11 goals and adding 13 assists.
Bone, a first-round pick in the 2010 SuperDraft, made 17 appearances in three seasons. He started all 10 of the Fire's Reserve League matches and had one goal and two assists.
Nolly did not play in a first-team match after being acquired in a trade with Vancouver Whitecaps FC last December, but made six appearances in MLS Reserve League play.
The Fire announced the moves Monday.

For the most part, conservative and liberals marked the death of Nelson Mandela by acknowledging Mandela's greatness as a statesman. Conservatives who feared that upon his release from prison Mandela would become a Marxist despot learned, almost the minute he emerged from prison, they were wrong; Mandela was a magnificent unifying force and truly a great statesman. So, leave it to One Wisconsin Now to use his death as a divisive political force and to show their ignorance while doing so.
Media Trackers reports that OWN issued a news release exploiting Mandela's death to accuse Wisconsin Republicans of voter suppression. We've mocked OWN in the past for comparing voter ID laws to the Jim Crow South. But they've outdone themselves in stupidity this time. As Media Trackers reports, the modern South Africa crafted by Mandela has voting requirements far more stringent than anything in the United States:
An October story from a South African news outlet explains in advance of the nation's 2014 elections, "aspirant voters must produce a valid South African identity document when registering to vote and when voting." That means procuring one of "three forms of official identification."
One of those identification forms is new: a so-called "smartcard ID." Although a new addition to the process, one election official said that "[a]ccommodating the new smartcard IDs has not been difficult."
Voter registration in South Africa involves registering to vote on one of a handful of designated days or by making an appointment in advance at a Municipal Elections Office. According to the nation's governing agency for elections, the Election Commission of South Africa, to register and vote you must meet three criteria:
- Be a South African citizen;
- Be at least 16 years old (you can only vote from age 18); and
- Have a green, bar-coded ID book, ID smartcard or Temporary Identity Certificate (TIC)

07:25 PM: Big win for Rajasthan
Beamer: Watson's son will be Watson, his daughter will be Watdaughter?
74 runs needed from 30 balls. Angelo Mathews goes down one one knee and scoops the slower ball, as the short fine leg fielder gives chase. Pune 105/6 after 16 overs.
66 needed from 24 balls. Shaun Tait has the ball. Bhuvaneshwar Kumar played across on the back foot, lost his off-stump in the process. Pune 106/7.
Murali Kartik comes in, survives a lbw appeal. Angelo Mathews made room, only to find Shaun Tait sending the delivery towards his feet. Played the ball towards leg, only to find the ball moving towards off.
62 needed from 18. Angelo Mathews decided to go after Watson, only to find the ball in Ajinkya Rahane's hands at long on. Pune Warriors 110/8.
Great work in the field. Rahul Sharma hit a slower ball towards long off. Johan Botha caught the ball, threw it back into the ring, as he went over the ropes. Ajinkya Rahane caught the relay. Awesome. Pune 112/9.
Tait to bowl the penultimate over. Just 4 runs from it.
One over to go. 55 runs needed from 6 balls. Stuart Binny to bowl the last over. Ashish Nehra hits four runs off the last ball. Doesn't matter. Rajasthan Royals win by 45 runs.

Cool enough for Vegas! Mom said she likes the bright colors (green and raspberry). They are cool enough for Las Vegas heat! May 21, 2014
Great to throw on in hot weather! Looking forward to wearing this when spending time at home during hot weather. Large, roomy pockets and light weight fabric (but not sheer) make this a great choice for gardening, reading on the patio, or even doing housework!! May 20, 2014
Go-to dress for "climate change" This dress is perfect for hot days and does not require ironing. I'm going to stock up! May 7, 2014
True comfort and cute style Love these dresses for wearing around the house. Very comfortable and flattering. They hold up well through many washings (no fading) and need only touch up ironing. Great value! May 6, 2014
Love! I have MS & prefer not to wear pants if I don't have too because of a leg brace. I bought two of these patio dresses & love. Fit is good, might fit a small but don't want to chance it. Colors are nice, love the neckline & sleeves at the shoulders, Material is great, length is good (I am 5'4"). Would love in a solid color also. Please keep making. May 5, 2014
Exactly what I was hoping I've been shopping around for an easy-to-care-for house dress (I call it my "granny-grunt") that looks good and feels good. This turned out to be perfect. May 5, 2014
Love Comfort Dresses After purchase of several dresses, couldn't be happier with the comfort, cool and crisp style. Fits well and looks great. September 26, 2013
Great Features Love this, it is comfy and not see through like some. I particularly love the pockets. It does seem to run a little large so will order a med. instead of large next time. I had to remove the tag at the neck because it's scratchy, I wish tags were all on the sides. Not a problem to remove. I will be back for another color. September 4, 2013
What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Seersucker Patio Dress …

Brad Paisley sings two songs on the soundtrack to the new Disney film Planes: Fire & Rescue , including one he wrote from personal experience, "All In." The movie is all about firefighting, and Brad tells ABC News Radio he has a lot of family members in that line of work.
"My dad was, or is, a firefighter," Brad says. "He's retired. Doesn't really do it now. My brother-in-law is also a full-time firefighter. Used to be an L.A. firefighter. It was a chance to pay tribute to them in a movie."
He adds, "My favorite line in the song is, 'Where there's smoke and flames, and everybody needs out, I'm all in.'"
Brad also sings a song called "Runway Romance" on the soundtrack, due out July 15. Listen for him to make a voice cameo in Planes: Fire & Rescue , hitting theaters in 3D on July 18.
As for the film itself, Brad says, "It's really inspiring, actually. It's a really interesting take on firefighting, 'cause really the whole movie's about these vehicles that fight fires."
Brad previously contributed two songs to the 2006 Disney film Cars .

Physical Chemistry
Research in Physical Chemistry at Cardiff is vibrant and dynamic, focusing on a wide range of cutting edge topics that are both of fundamental academic importance and of relevance and significance to the modern world. Physical Chemistry consists of 14 academic staff, and over 80 research staff . The research activities within Physical Chemistry are supported by extensive state-of-the-art equipment and facilities. Major research themes are:
Heterogeneous Catalysis and Surface Science: Cardiff is particularly well recognised for heterogeneous catalysis research together with a significant presence in nanoscience and in surface electrochemistry. The group is internationally recognised for its leading work in these areas. The research covers the synthesis and properties of high surface area, powdered materials, which is of direct industrial relevance, to more fundamental work on surface structure, and the fabrication and imaging of ultra-nanoparticles. Highlights of recent work include atomic resolution imaging of the surface structure of nanoparticles; the synthesis of new types of catalysts for environmental protection and pollutant abatement; the use of sunlight for clean fuel (hydrogen) production; in situ studies of catalysts: and novel clean routes to oxygenated organic molecules by selective oxidation.
Theoretical prediction and characterisation of gold-based nanocatalysts, their interaction with solid supports, and their suitability for catalysis of a wide range of reactions of importance in industry and the environment.
See also Cardiff Catalysis Institute
Solid-State and Materials Chemistry: Research in solid-state and materials chemistry covers a range of projects aimed at understanding fundamental properties of materials and developing applications of materials. Current research is focused on: (i) understanding structural and dynamic properties of molecular solids, (ii) gaining new insights on fundamentals of crystallization processes, and (iii) investigating structure, dynamics and applications of different forms of "soft matter", including colloidal systems, dispersed polymeric aggregates, polymer-drug conjugates and polymer-surfactant systems.
Spectroscopy and Technique Development: Research in the development and application of new aspects of experimental techniques for elucidating properties of materials is currently focused on: (i) advances in EPR and ENDOR spectroscopies, including the development of angular selective ENDOR and the application of ENDOR to characterize catalytic systems and solid surfaces, and (ii) the development and application of new techniques for structure determination from powder X-ray diffraction data.
Development of a highly accurate and efficient quasi-variational coupled cluster method for description of highly correlated systems, and its application to aspects of bond breaking and forming, non-linear optical materials and other chemical problems.

A Hawaii photographer's spontaneous smooch is going viral. The kiss between Dallas Nagata White and her husband has been featured in a number of major media outlets. The Huffington Post, Gizmodo, The Atlantic and Glamour all have posted stories describing how the photo was taken.
Nagata White tells Hawaii News Now that she was hiking with her husband and a group of friends near the Royal Garden Subdivision on the Big Island when they decided to take a photo.
"While waiting for the rain to pass, we started taking back-lit portraits of each other in front of the lava flow after I set up my camera on the tripod. For the last photo, my husband spontaneously dipped me in a kiss. It was a truly once-in-a-lifetime moment!" said Nagata White.
What makes the photo even more amazing, there was no fancy Photoshop manipulation. Nagata White says she slightly adjusted exposure, color, and contrast, then sharpened the image after re-sizing for web.
"While this photo was originally taken for ourselves in a spontaneous moment during a fantastic adventure with our friends, I'm glad so many people around the world are enjoying it," says Nagata White.
The photo has been entered into 24th annual National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest, voting for the Viewer's Choice award is open until Friday, July 20, at 9 a.m.
Nagata White's group was aware of the cultural significance of the area. The group used Kalapana Cultural Tours, which is permitted to take visitors over the lava-covered private and state property for lava viewing.

17 Tasting Notes
2nd steep today, added 2% milk and a teaspoon of sugar.
Buttery taste turned into more of a cream taste, like that better. Steeped way too long, forgot about it, oops.
That extra time added more bitterness to the aftertaste
Snow storm outside so I thought I'd go through some of the tea I have stocked up for just such a situation.
Only started with this tea as I already had boiling water. Odd that directions wanted that, toasted flavor is almost all I taste, added a bit of honey to cut through, all I smell is grass/hay.
Not bad, just not my favorite.
Always love when I follow instructions included with a tea and then when I log in to Steepster I see additional instructions (namely to rinse the tea) have not done that.
Not bad, buttery taste.

Nike divestitures to help bottom line
The global leader in sports equipment and apparel is set to report financial results Thursday.
By Zacks Equity Research
Nike (NKE), a global leader in sports equipment and apparel, is expected to report its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 after the market closes Thursday. The Zacks consensus estimate is $1 per share, the same as for the prior-year quarter.
Currently, the Zacks consensus estimate ranges between 97 cents to $1.04 a share. For the quarter under review, revenue is expected to be $6,019 million, according to the Zacks consensus estimate.
With respect to earnings surprises, Nike has topped the estimate in three of the trailing four quarters in the range of negative 14.6% to positive 13.4%. The average surprise over the last four quarters remained positive at 1.3%.
First quarter fiscal 2013
Nike reported first-quarter 2013 earnings of $1.27 per share, which ran past the Zacks consensus estimate of $1.12. However, the quarterly earnings dipped 9% year-over-year, resulting from poor gross margin, higher SG&A and increased tax rate.
Nike's total revenue augmented 10% to $6,669 million driven by superior demand for Nike brand. Adjusting for currency effect, the company's revenue grew 15%. Revenue for the quarter also surpassed the Zacks consensus estimate of $6,438 million.
On currency neutral basis, revenue for Nike brands elevated 16%, while other businesses delivered 9% growth. Revenue from Cole Haan and Umbro, which are to be divested, was up 6%. During the quarter, the company witnessed strength across all key categories and geographies, except Japan.
Earnings estimates revisions
We do not see any major estimate revisions at this point for the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Of the 15 estimates, only one was revised upward, while none moved in the opposite direction in the last 30 days. In the last seven days, no movement in estimates was noticed in either direction for the quarter.
The magnitude of estimate revisions for Nike depicts a slightly optimistic view for the upcoming quarter. Over the last seven days, estimates for the upcoming quarter remained unchanged, while it rose by a penny to $1.00 per share in the last 30 days.
Recently, Nike successfully completed its previously announced sale of Umbro to Iconix Brand Group (ICON) for $225 million. Further, the company is in the process to dispose its Cole Haan affiliate brand to Apax Partners. The company expects to close this deal by early 2013.
We believe the divestiture of these brands will help boost the company's bottom lines. Meanwhile, in an attempt to expand its global reach and market share, Nike is capitalizing on growth opportunities in emerging markets, especially China.
Additionally, Nike remains focused on other tools, such as a direct-to-consumer business model, to expand geographically. We believe that Nike's continued investment in China and focus on the direct-to-consumer business will not only help in expanding market share, but will also help strengthen its competitive position.
However, we prefer to remain on the sidelines given sluggish discretionary spending, increase in operating costs, and the ongoing European crisis. Nike faces intense competition in both domestic and international markets from local as well as established players such as Adidas AG (including Reebok), PVH Corporation (PVH) and Brown Shoe Company (BWS).
We retain a long-term "neutral" recommendation on Nike. The company currently has a Zacks No. 2 Rank, which translates into a short-term "buy" rating.

The bankruptcy of the city of Detroit has many causes, including poor management, industrial history and dysfunctional American sociology. I think there is also an ethical problem: too little cross-border solidarity.
I don't want to downplay the other failures. A more competent city government would have addressed, rather than added to, the problems. The U.S. car industry proved a disastrously weak economic anchor. And without widespread racism, there would have been fewer ghettoised African-Americans.
Still, the economic and sociological poison has not been spread equally. On the contrary, it is concentrated inside the legal borders of the city of Detroit. The Detroit of common speech and common sense – the big blob on a national map, the urban area served by a single international airport – has suffered much less.
In the United States, population change is a crude but accurate indicator of economic success. The city is failing; its population declined by almost 60 percent in the half-century from 1960 to 2010, to 714,000. The rest of metro Detroit, as defined by the U.S. government, is doing all right: the headcount increased by about 70 percent, to 3.6 million.
True, metro Detroit as a whole may not be thriving. The unemployment rate of 9 percent is well above the 7.6 percent national average. But the problems are concentrated in the city, which is in an apparently unstoppable economic and social decline. That descent has undoubtedly been accelerated by the legal and financial isolation of the city from suburbs.

Providence wins fourth straight against Worcester in season series
The Black and Gold turned up the intensity against their Atlantic Division rival and route 146 foe in the second period. Jamie Tardif shined, literally throwing pucks and his body at the net. The Bruins leading scorer created the team's best scoring opportunity of the game with four minutes to play in the second. Tardif beat the defender with his speed for a beautiful wrap-around Stalock's net. However, Craig Cunningham couldn't connect on the pass in front. Besides exchanging scoring opportunities, the teams exchanged punches and shoves, racking up 24 penalty minutes, including two fighting majors, in the second period. The Bruins were awarded a power play with 34 seconds to play, but a fumble at the blue line caused a turnover and a shorthanded Worcester goal.
The Bruins turned it on in the third period scoring three unanswered goals. MacKinnon opened the scoring on the power play at 12:53. Tardif fed MacKinnon across the crease who beat a sprawling Stalock back door. Five minutes later Hirschfeld added the go-ahead goal when he dangled the Sharks' defensemen and sent a rocket top shelf on Stalock. The Bruins captain Whitfield added an empty net goal for security at 19:02 to give the Bruins a 3-1 win.

Workforce Development to Increase Access to Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) Services among Minority Populations
(Short Title: Workforce Development for MAT)
(Initial Announcement)
Addendum | Posted March 26, 2010 | The number/size of awards for this program have been changed. Rather than making 4 awards at $100,000, SAMHSA will award one grant of $400,000 to a consortium of the 15 eligible ATTC applicants. As a consortium, a single ATTC in the consortium must be the legal applicant, the recipient of the award, and the entity legally responsible for satisfying the grant requirements. In addition, the application must include a written agreement outlining the roles and responsibilities of each participating ATTC. This agreement must be signed by an authorizing official of each member of the consortium and attached to the application as Attachment 4, "Roles and Responsibilities of ATTC Organizations".
The receipt date for the application has been extended to April 16, 2010.
Request for Applications (RFA) No. TI-10-014
Posting on Grants.gov: February 23, 2010
Original Receipt date: April 2, 2010
Extended Receipt date: April 16, 2010
Announcement Type: Initial
Catalogue of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) No.: 93.243
Application Deadline
Applications are due by April 2, 2010
Intergovernmental Review
Applicants must comply with E.O. 12372 if their State(s) participates. Review process recommendations from the State Single Point of Contact (SPOC) are due no later than 60 days after application deadline.
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) is accepting applications to expand/enhance grant activities carried out under the Addiction Technology Transfer Centers (ATTC) program, funded in FY 2007, to prepare the substance use disorder (SUD) treatment workforce to engage specific minority populations in medication-assisted treatment (MAT).
SAMHSA/CSAT is announcing the availability of one-year supplemental funding for ATTC grantees to develop culturally-competent training programs and appropriate outreach materials and strategies for community-based substance abuse treatment providers. The purpose of the program is to increase awareness, provide education, and promote access to MAT for the specific racial and ethnic minority populations listed below. Grantees are expected to focus training on information, skills, and resources that providers can use to enhance client access to MAT. SAMHSA believes that the ATTC network is the most efficient means to develop training programs and disseminate materials because these grantees have the capacity to successfully complete program requirements in the one-year funding period and the infrastructure necessary to disseminate the information throughout the United States.
Grantees are expected to select one population from the list below as the population of focus for this program:
Data suggest that the consequences of drug use may be worse among ethnic minorities, including higher rates of drug-related criminal justice issues and HIV attributable to injection drug use. Among injection drug-users, the prevalence of HIV and Hepatitis C (HCV) are higher among African Americans and Latinos than among Whites. Opiate-dependent minorities are less likely to access methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) than Whites. Studies of out-of-treatment African Americans and Latino injection drug users have found that some had negative perceptions about methadone and perceive barriers to MMT. Data also suggest that barriers to access or utilization of care exist for racial and ethnic minority groups, as well.
Further research is needed to assess issues around attitudes, understanding, access, utilization, and treatment outcomes of MAT, including both opioid and alcohol pharmacotherapy, among persons belonging to racial and ethnic minority groups. However, the devastating consequences of untreated addiction necessitate the immediate development of initiatives to expand access to MAT among racial and ethnic minorities. The specific goal for this initiative is to support the ATTCs in developing training materials and a training program for substance abuse treatment providers to help providers become more skilled at outreach and engagement of specific racial and ethnic minority populations in MAT. In turn, this training is expected to increase client access to and retention in MAT.
ATTC grants are authorized under Section 509 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. This announcement addresses Healthy People 2010 focus area 26 (Substance Abuse).
Eligible Applicants
Eligibility for this funding opportunity is limited to the cohort of 15 ATTC grantees funded in FY 2007. Eligibility is limited to the current ATTC grantees because they are uniquely qualified to develop and disseminate outreach and education materials, and develop and conduct training and technology transfer activities targeted to treatment providers during the one-year funding period. In addition, only these grantees have an established infrastructure for disseminating such information and training throughout the United States.
Cooperative Agreement
up to 4
up to $100,000
It is expected that up to $400,000 will be available to fund up to four projects in FY 2010. Awards are expected to be up to $100,000 each in total costs (direct and indirect) for up to one year.

I've fallen in love, the best friend i could ever have, and is still currently, and is the only one who knows what I've really been through, and has been there for me. I've realized what it takes to be in life. What you learn in life is they, whatever happens to you, you will always have someone to catch you when you fall. I myself need to establish myself to the full, and realize what I want in life, and how i want to live it. I need to be my own person, and stop trying to be who everyone wants me to be. Okay, I speak my mind, and people hate me for that, but that's who I am, and if you don't like me, that's fine. Life's too short to take advantage of it, so live it to the full, I should know after my past, but my future is going to be much more fulfilling, and I'm not going to take anything for granted.

This review is from: Zmodo KDA4-NARQZ4ZN-5G 4Ch DVR with 500GB HDD & 4 Sony CCD Cam Kit
Pros: All needed items in one box except for additional cables for runs over 60 feet so consider your cable runs and order additional cables if needed. 500gb hd installed in unit so just position cameras, run cables and you are done! Many options for recording. As always, fast newegg shipping!
Cons: Instruction manual could be much better. I am still not able to "live view" my cameras on my android tablet...will be able to do so one of these days.
Other Thoughts: Good value for the money for my first system (purchased for less than $100 off MSRP). Cameras do not have vibrant color but do work well, day and night. Also, do not expect an HD quality picture; if you want that, you will have to buy a system costing hundreds more. I am very pleased with this system.

Stockholm • By honoring the global chemical weapons watchdog, the Nobel Peace Prize committee stuck to its tradition of not just awarding past achievements, but highlighting a cause, movement or process it hopes can promote world peace.
So does this high-minded ambition work?
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Sometimes. The 1991 prize to Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi and the 1996 award to East Timor independence leaders Carlos Belo and Jose Ramos-Horta are widely seen as having had a significant political impact.
History hasn't been kind to some other prizes, like the 1994 award shared by Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and Israeli leaders Shimon Peres and Yitzhak Rabin for what was seen as a breakthrough in peace talks. Or the 1926 prize given to the foreign ministers of France and Germany to promote reconciliation between the two World War I adversaries. A decade later, Hitler denounced their promises not to invade each other and sent troops into the demilitarized Rhineland, paving the way for WWII.
Recently, though, the influence of the Norwegian Nobel Committee is less clear cut.
The Associated Press analyzed the fallout of the six most recent peace awards, and asked the committee's non-voting secretary, Geir Lundestad, for his thoughts:
Last year's prize underscored the EU's role in turning war-ravaged Europe into a continent of peace. It was meant to give the bloc a shot in the arm at a time when the idea of European unity was losing traction amid financial turmoil and social unrest.
FALLOUT: It's still early, but there are no signs that the Nobel helped revitalize the EU's image. Not in the minds of its citizens, at least. Their trust in the EU remains at a record low, according to the EU's own Eurobarometer surveys. The latest survey showed support for the bloc's common currency dropped to 51 percent this year, its lowest point since 2006. Only 30 percent of Europeans — unchanged from last year — had a positive image of the EU.
LUNDESTAD: "It's much too early to come to a definite conclusion about last year's prize. ... I think the committee felt that this was a rather obvious prize, which maybe came too late, but that's a different matter. And the way in which this was received by the EU, I mean you could see how exceedingly happy they were. (German Chancellor) Angela Merkel made all these ... heads of state or heads of government come to take part in the ceremony. So it was just obvious ... how proud the EU has been of this and how they promote the fact that they have received the prize. So it would certainly seem to have had a significant impact on the EU itself."
The committee hoped that giving the prize to the three women would "help to bring an end to the suppression of women that still occurs in many countries, and to realize the great potential for democracy and peace that women can represent."
FALLOUT: The Nobel amplified Karman's calls for reforms in Yemen and the street protests she helped organize against President Ali Abduallah Saleh. He agreed to step down a month later after pressure from the U.S. and Gulf states, but there is little sign that the rights of women have improved since. Human Rights Watch says Yemeni women still cannot marry without permission, do not have secondary rights in divorce and child custody and more than half are married off before they are 18 — some as young as 8.
The political role of women has improved in sub-Saharan Africa, with Joyce Banda becoming president of Malawi and Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma appointed as the first female chair of the African Union Commission. Sirleaf used her prize money to help fund scholarships for girls and also to help pay for school dormitories for young women, according to spokesman Jerolinmek Piah. Tangible results from those efforts, though, will take years to materialize. Sirleaf had a falling out with co-winner Gbowee, who resigned her post as head of the reconciliation commission, accusing Sirleaf of engaging in nepotism and failure to fight corruption.
LUNDESTAD: "We should be very careful that we don't attribute too much influence to the Norwegian Nobel Committee. But if you look at the broad developments, there's just no doubt that the situation of women around the world is improving. And you see this most strikingly in the field of education. In country after country, women or girls are in a majority even in higher education. ... There is still a huge distance to go before women have equality in any country, much less in all countries, but we should not overlook the very significant progress."
The committee wanted to promote the struggle for human rights in China and called for the jailed Chinese dissident to be released.
FALLOUT: Liu is still in prison, with no signs of an early release. His wife has been held under house arrest since the prize was announced. In August, his brother-in-law was sentenced to 11 years in prison for fraud, in a case that supporters said was politically motivated. The prize has not invigorated the human rights movement in China. The crackdown on anyone who speaks out against the ruling Communist Party continues and got tougher this year. The most tangible effect of the prize is that it so enraged China that trade talks with Norway were put on hold.
LUNDESTAD: "I like to think we have rather realistic ideas about what can be accomplished and what cannot be accomplished. But you wonder when you see very powerful governments, like the Chinese one, so afraid of what the effects of a Nobel Peace Prize to a dissident could be. I mean, really, they went to considerable lengths to prevent such a prize. Because they were afraid of what the results could be. Maybe the prize has had a greater effect than we occasionally think. Although of course we have to admit that in the short term the prize to Liu Xiaobo has not led to anything. But the Chinese response was very interesting just by itself."
This prize was meant to encourage the U.S. to engage in multilateral diplomacy and was seen by many as implicit criticism of President George W. Bush's foreign policy.Next Page >

text: 80 years ago Tuesday, Nov. 22, 1932 About 30 persons, representatives of as many churches, societies and organizations met with the mayor and council in the court house on Thursday night, Nov. 17. All councilors were present with the exception of Mr. Drysdale. The object of the meeting was to discuss the promotion of a "back home" week in Neepawa in 1933 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the town's incorporation and also the 51st anniversary of the Agricultural Society. 70 years ago Thursday, Nov. 26, 1942 During the celebration of the Diamond Jubilee Monday night, the Beautiful Plains Agriculture Society burned the mortgage that had been held over their head for a number of years. Robert Habkirk, a steady member of the society, had the honor of holding the match to the piece of paper. To commemorate the 60 years that the organization had been serving the agricultural interests of the district, over 200 people sat down to a banquet in the I.O.O.F. hall catered to by the Rebekahs, and listened to an inspiring speech by the Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Mr. J. H. Evans. 60 years ago Thursday, Nov. 27, 1952 The second annual Neepawa Fall Fair was held in the spacious 60,000 square foot Arcade Nov. 19 and 20. Long tables were arranged throughout the building displaying the many articles on exhibit. Chairs and benches were arranged in the centre of the hall to accommodate spectators. 50 years ago Tuesday, Nov. 20, 1962 Deer season opened with a big bang last Monday morning as hunters bagged more than deer, according to one Game Branch official. In the first week of the south-western Manitoba region alone, hunters shot and killed: two men (one injured), a four-year-old boy, one cattle beast, one sheep, two horses, deer??? Editorializing seems to be of little avail when it comes to these type of irresponsible "hunters". In spite of this despicable carnage, we can be thankful for the small mercy that none of these happened in the immediate Neepawa area. Most of these accidents took place around the Oak Lake – Virden area. 40 years ago Thursday, Nov. 23, 1972 A report given to Neepawa town council Tuesday night by the building inspector, Cecil Chapman, indicates permits have been issued for 27 new residential buildings during the period Jan. 1 to Oct. 31 of this year. With the inclusion of 15 low rental homes completed this year, the total is increased to 42 new homes. Several permits were issued in November and a few more are expected before the end of the year. Value of the 27 new homes is estimated at $338,000. Total new construction in Neepawa this year up to the end of October is estimated at $1,198,369 as compared to $836,360 for the entire year in 1971. 30 years ago Thursday, Nov. 25, 1982 Icy road conditions were blamed for an accident on the outskirts of Neepawa on Nov. 19, involving a brand new fire truck bound for Quesnel, B.C. RCMP said the fire truck was heading west on Highway 16, about 10 a.m. when the driver couldn't stop for a truck turning into Double S Service. Rather that turning into eastbound traffic, the driver Dale Carlson, swerved into the ditch on the north side of the highway. The truck hit a fence, and hydro pole and turned over onto its roof. RCMP attributed seat belts as the sole reason no one was injured in the fire truck. 20 years ago Tuesday, Nov. 24, 1992 Manitoba Highways has been surveying Mountain Avenue during the past week, the first step to rebuilding the town's decaying main thoroughfare. That's good news. But for some people the bad news is that if the road is rebuilt it may mean a switch from angle to parallel parking. Neepawa mayor Roy McGillivray said he's hopeful the town will be the first to have Highways reconstruct its main street without having to switch to parallel parking. Neepawa would be the first town to fight to keep angle parking along its main street following a provincial reconstruction program. Four years ago, Manitoba Highways offered to reconstruct Gladstone's Morris Avenue and Dennis Street. The proposed $1.3 million project would have taken about a year to complete. However, stiff opposition from local residents and business owners put a halt to the plan. 10 years ago Monday, Nov. 25, 2002 Neepawa's former Agricore elevator was toppled last Wednesday after work crews weakened the supporting structure and dug out underneath the west side of the building.

2014 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER: If you're interested in a new Toyota FJ Cruiser, the time is now, as 2014 will be the final model year for the iconic off-road vehicle. The latest FJ adds subtle updates and continues with four-wheel drive capability, standard locking rear differential, and comfortable Toyota everyday usability and reliability. Based on a modified Toyota 4Runner platform, the FJ Cruiser is available in rear-wheel or four-wheel configurations. The 4x4 offers a choice between a six-speed manual transmission and an electronically shifted five-speed automatic transmission, while the 4x2 model is equipped exclusively with the five-speed automatic. A powerful, responsive V-6 produces 260 horsepower, and a 5,000 pound maximum tow rating. All powertrain setups enable FJ Cruiser models to provide a broad torque curve that facilitates easy cruising on-or off-road. The FJ Cruiser's side access doors open 90 degrees in clamshell fashion for easy rear-seat entry/exit. The rear seatback is split 60/40, with folding (removable) bottom and back cushions that convert to a nearly flat cargo floor, providing 66.8 cu. ft. of cargo room. For off-road fans and growing families, the FJ Cruiser's five-passenger cabin uses floor surfaces covered with an easy-to-clean rubber-like material. Music versatility adds USB Port, iPod connectivity and XM satellite radio capability. The 2014 Trail Teams Ultimate Edition is a commemorative final special edition of the FJ Cruiser, limited to a 2,500 unit production run. It's the toughest and most capable FJ ever and pays tribute to the iconic vehicle that will end its production run at the conclusion of the 2014 model year. CHICAGO AUTO SHOW FACT: It was nine years ago that Don Esmond, senior vice president and general manager, Toyota Division, unveiled the all-new 2007 FJ Cruiser sport utility vehicle at a Feb. 9, 2005 Chicago Auto Show press conference. The combination of off-road heritage, capability and design was inspired by the legendary Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 models from the 1960s into the 1980s.

Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif.-A dramatic rescue was caught on a Go-Pro camera in Rancho Palos Verdes, California.
The water was rough at Abalone Cove when Rob McNulty,46, and his friends went to visit on Sunday. On their visit, they witnessed a teenager accidentally fall into the cove. The teen was soon unconscious in the churning water.
McNulty's friend Gary Golding tried to jump in to save him, but was thrown against a rock. That's when McNulty jumped in himself and was able to pull the teen to safety.
"I didn't want to go anywhere near it," he said. "I thought, 'this is his only chance.' the next thing I knew my feet left the rocks and in I went, and I grabbed him."
Golding's friend Hillary Swanson caught the whole incident on tape.
"I was really scared," she said.
The men refused to give up on the teen.
"Rob had said, 'I think he's dead,'" Golding said. "And I said no, we're not going to give up on this kid."
McNulty was able to perform CPR on the teen and revived him. Lifeguards showed up to the scene and he was taken to the hospital.
The teen, who wants to remain anonymous, is still recovering.
Doctors say if the teen spent another minute in the water, he would of died.

How Do I Tell My Workout Partner That I Need a Bigger Challenge?
Q. I've had the same tennis pal for years, but I need to up my game. How do I tell her?
A. Maybe she wants more of a challenge as well. Lob the idea of sharing time with a pro in semiprivate lessons where you can each hone your skills, suggests Julie Emmerman, a psychotherapist in Boulder, Colorado, who specializes in working with athletes. If she makes a racket, the ball is back in your court. Be honest: Explain that you value the time together, but you need to change up your game in order to grow in the sport. Acknowledge the awkwardness of the situation and emphasize that if you stop playing together, you'd still love to hang out with regular coffee or lunch dates.

This conversation is closed.
For people who have a hard time answering the question: "Where are you from?"
In Pico Iyer's talk from TEDGlobal 2013, he looks at the complex nature of the question: "Where are you from?" Because while his family originally comes from India, Iyer himself grew up in the United Kingdom. He spent the next 48 years living in the United States. Meanwhile, his heart resides in Japan. He calls these the "pieces of a stained glass self."
As he notes, in our increasingly global world, it's not uncommon to be a half-Korean, half-German woman in love with Paris or a half-Thai, half-French man in Canada.
And so we're curious: what are the pieces of YOUR stained glass whole? Share here and you may see your answers on the TED Blog soon.
I'll share first: I am a half-Italian, half-Polish Jewish-Christian with a Russian last name, who grew up in the Southern United States and now calls herself a New Yorker.

Jul 17 2013: I don't know, Nia, she does really emphasize ethnic type stuff in the explanation of her question. And I think slightly overemphasizes the importance of countries and regions. I mean talking about people who are from India, but grew up in the United Kingdom and United States, but whose heart belongs to Japan, you know, it's not talking so much about the inner person, it makes it seem like the principal aspect of a person is where they physically were or what country they like the most. Those things do matter, but a person is a lot more than those things, too.
Jul 17 2013: I concur with what she emphasizes and overemphasizes. I don't think it's that people are answering the question wrong, but its the wrong question or needs to be unasked and re-asked in a different way. I think other things matter in where your from than are intended by the question as it stands.
I responded in more depth above.
Jul 17 2013: I couldn't agree more. I responded to Feyisayo and then read your comment and saw you said pretty much the same thing. To your notion of what matters is who we are inside and what we've made of ourselves, I would what has influenced us (perhaps for better or worse).
As John Donne wrote:
"No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thy friend's
Or of thine own were:
Any man's death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee."
Jul 18 2013: Yes, I agree with your other comment, she needs to show why it matters "where you're from." I don't believe she does that in the explanation of the question as it now stands. Technically I should watch the TED talk, but a lot of times when people host these conversations and include a link to a TED talk, I don't want to watch the TED talk, I just want to talk to the person hosting the conversation.
Jul 18 2013: I can dig that. You don't want to the interference. It's like joining a table of people at an outside cafe all discussing the lecture they just came from. It isn't necessary or even preferable that you went to the same lecture, just for you to be able to contribute. Thanks for replying.
