We already know that Chevrolet has started the working on the next generation Camaro, but today, Al Oppenheiser, Camaro 's Chief Engineer, is offering up new details on the car that is due in the fall of 2015. According to him, the new Camaro will get a choice of smaller engines and will most likely be lighter compared to the current generation, but the company will try to keep its design untouched.
"We always get hammered for mass, and that's not going to be getting easier going forward. Displacement, number of cylinders, all of these things you need to think about."
The timing for this new Camaro shouldn't be at all surprising considering Ford is already preparing a facelift Mustang for 2015 with an exterior update and either a turbocharged V6 or even a turbo 4-cylinder. Chevrolet's target will be to stay as successful as they currently are: "We always have to stay fresh and ahead. [But] we do not want to lose the fact that we have nearly 40 percent of the market."

A few weeks ago, I disagreed with security luminary Bruce Schneier when he asserted that most vendors have NSA-friendly backdoors and cannot be trusted. Make no mistake, I don't dismiss the idea that some vendors capitulated to the NSA -- but I doubt it's most.
Bruce was probably alluding to the fact that some vendors have willingly worked with the security agency and inserted hidden backdoors the NSA can use. I'm guessing he's also referring to scenarios where the NSA was successful in placing weakened crypto in popular ciphers. The latter scenario has been played out at least twice in the last few decades. The trick is in figuring out which vendors participated as willing NSA partners.

None other than John McAfee. | Build and deploy an effective defense against corporate intruders with InfoWorld's Encryption Deep Dive PDF expert guide. | Stay up to date on the latest security developments with InfoWorld's Security Central newsletter. ]
The first instance I'm aware of where the NSA intentionally tried to weaken a public cipher was the DES (Data Encryption Standard), which was developed in the 1970s by IBM. It was a good cipher for its time, although wouldn't be secure at all today due to its small key size (and the myriad of successful attacks).
DES was originally a 56-bit cipher, but the NSA made a modification that grew it to 64 bits, supposedly to make it more secure. A review by many of the world's cryptographers revealed that the extra eight bits added almost no extra security. This confused many experts and made them suspicious of the NSA. Why should a 56-bit cipher require a 64-bit encryption key? Nonetheless, as far as we know, the extra eight bits did not weaken DES.
Guess the magic number
Enter Dual_EC_DRBG, a discrete random number generator (RNG) introduced as a standard by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology). RNGs -- better termed pseudo-RNGs -- are the starting point for many cipher algorithms.

I just got this. I tried bare study on but found the color too sparkly and washed out my olive skin tone. This ok the other hand makes my blue eyes pop and looks pretty natural. I use it with dip down or rich ground fluid line eyeliner. Great everyday look. Also doesn't crease with a primer under it.

On my nc20 c2 skin this paintpot slightly blends in when my skintone with jst one layer. The second layer shows up as a sunset peach gold sheen which is beautiful for just a natural look but with a myterious golden pop. I use to own bare study but i felt it was very drying(maybe i got a bad pot out the bunch) rubenesque is easy to blend and it def has the dimensional coloring i was looking for. I dont wear eyeshadow so i jst put this on with liner, mascara and i have a clean yet pretty simple look. Will repurchase

i have this in rubenesque and i love it. i apply it with my finger as i find it a lot easier and you can use it as just a subtle shadow on its own, you can layer it for a lovely colour on its own or use it as a base. i always always use this as a base for any eye shadow as it makes it stay on all day and not crease at all. i love the colour, although it could be a little more pigmented but all in all, a great base

I use this as a base almost every day for work. I have to use it on top of UDPP to prevent creasing (this is true for most cream eye shadows). I bought this color because of the rave reviews, but I don't like the packaging - I think it's unhygienic and inconvenient. The color is sheer but still visible - good for when you're in a hurry. I think there are way too many alternatives out there, so I don't see the need to repurchase this.

This product has tones of gold and coral in it. it glides on smoothly and can be used as a sheer wash or layered for a more intense colour. I'm really impressed with this product mainly because of the way it prevents my eye make up from creasing. I tend to use it most days as an eye base (after foundation & powder) and then I layer eye shadow over the top. I really don't like it when you spend time creating a beautiful eye only for it to end up with creases half way through the day. When I use rubenesque this never happens. My eye make up stays flawless for at least 8 hours. I have cycled into work (40 min journey) in 32 degree heat and my eye make up remains pristine! Now if I could just find something that could erase the shine from my t-zone then my world would be perfect(!)

Rubenesque is a peachy coral, almost pinkish gold colour in the jar. swatched, and on the skin, it applies as lots of little tightly-packed speckles.
i originally purchased this, in hopes of it being a coral sister to 'Indianwood' paint pot. this is really not the case! Indianwood is condensed, metallic and opaque, and i can wear that as an eyeshadow. this is translucent, speckley and i can not wear this as an eyeshadow. when i tried to build this up heavily, with a flat brush, it started to flake off! Rubenesque really disappointed me because it was not what i expected, but now it permanently lives in my make-up bag.
here's why; i discovered that applying this with my ring finger all over my lid and lower lid, (just built up enough to show up, but not to look opaque), gives the most beautiful, delicate golden warm glimmer that gives any eyeshadow a more textured, warm glow. in my opinion, this particular paint pot is truly meant as a base. it really gives a new dimension to eyeshadow. if you love warm colours on your eyes, then this is one for you. and it's funny, because although i originally hated this in comparison to paint pots that could be used as more stable eye colours, this turned out to be a much more versatile buy, because i use it almost every day with any eyeshadow.
i used this for a while, as a primer, but then noticed that while my eyeshadow wasn't creasing, my bottom lashline would become more easily smeared throughout the day. so i now use this with UDPP underneath and i also find that using that enhances the colour and performance of Rubenesque anyway.
Rubenesque was an accidental love for me, and also it seems, an accidental staple too!

I really wanted to like Rubenesque. Such a pretty and rich rose-gold. Looks amazing in the pot and swatches beautifully. But on the lid, there were large particles of shimmer that didn't look smooth enough to me.

I adore Rubenesque! A few months ago, my friend had bought some stuff from MAC and I asked her what I she thought I should buy... I told her that I wanted an eyeshadow. She told me to go look at the paintpots so I went on the MAC website and looked at the colors. I thought that Bare Study was pretty, but would be too light on my skintone and the other color that I was interested in was Rubenesque. I briefly remembered hearing about an amazing paintpot called Rubenesque from Juicystar07 on youtube and I decided to go to the MAC store. I bought the paintpot in Rubenesque.
I'm glad I did! It is so easy to put on this paintpot, all you do is swirl your finger in it and blend/pat it onto your eyelids. It has a very creamy, moist texture and its really easy to build up the pigmentation depending to your taste. I have tanned skin, sort of on the darker side and was worried that Rubenesque would look to pink on my skin but it shows up as a beautiful gold with shimmer. This looks amazing with a little bit of black eyeliner on the top and a volumizing mascara- perfect for the summer. The only thing I don't really like is the price... It would be nice if it was a little cheaper but there is a lot of product in the jar, so I know I can use it for a long time. I have heard other people complain about dropping the jar and then it chipped, but this has never happened to me. I like the slightly heavy packaging and modern black lid. Overall, I love this! I'm so happy I bought it and it makes my brown eyes stand out and look good.

(WHAS11) -- Could Senator Mitch McConnell have another well-known Kentucky Democrat challenging him for re-election? Tonight former Miss America Heather French Henry of Louisville tells WHAS11 she's being lobbied to run against McConnell.
If the race for Kentucky Senate was a casting call, this one is certainly is all about star power. The battle to take on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell first drew interest from Hollywood actress Ashley Judd.
Current Secretary of State Allison Lundergan Grimes is still on the fence.
Now, Kentucky native and former Miss America Heather French Henry is being courted to run. She lives in Louisville and told WHAS11's Claudia Coffey she's weighing her options.
"I have not made a decision yet. We've gotten calls from a number of people talking about the race. But I am listening at this point. As a working mother, I have to consider a lot. Any working mother does and especially when you have children."
A month ago, Henry was in Frankfort when Governor Steve Beshear signed the military voting bill into law that would allow the military to receive and return ballots electronically.
"Twenty-four other states have done this , Kentucky can certainly by and large can make this effort to say thank you to our military to let them vote online," Heather French Henry said.
Secretary of State Allison Lundergan Grimes standing right beside Henry at the capitol signing, pushed for the legislation. Grimes too has been contemplating a senate run.
"I won't be bullied into any decision," Grimes said.
And now, with news breaking that Henry is also being lobbied by top Democrats to challenge Senator McConnell, sources close to Grimes tell WHAS11 she continues to seriously consider the race and is reaching out to her biggest supporters from her 2011 election to get their opinions and gauge their level of support for a U.S. Senate bid.
Congressman Yarmuth sent us the following statement:
"Heather French Henry would be an outstanding Senate candidate. She is a real source of pride for the Commonwealth, and her dedication to helping Kentucky families and veterans would provide real contrast to Mitch McConnell in 2014."

With Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon echoing in the cellar, our winemaker crafted this custom Cabernet Sauvignon from premium Mendocino County fruit, blending a one-of -a-kind wine with Rock 'n Roll mythology. To capture the intense, brooding character of The Dark Side of the Moon, Winemaker Mark Beaman turned to a classic wine variety, Cabernet Sauvignon. A varietal with a deep, complex character that takes a relaxed environment to fully appreciate, Cabernet Sauvignon reflects the hauntingly dense, timeless character of Pink Floyd's masterpiece album.

Actor lists his latest flip for $24.95 million
Jeremy Renner and another actor have bought, renovated and sold about 20 homes in the past decade, making money on every one.
Actor Jeremy Renner doesn't hunt just witches. When he's not working on TV and movies, he is hunting homes to flip.
He and business partner Kristoffer Winters have bought, renovated and sold about 20 homes in the past decade. They have just put their biggest project so far on the market: A "roaring '20s art deco style home fit for a 21st-century Howard Hughes," as the listing describes it, is for sale for $24.95 million.
The home has six bedrooms, 11 baths, a pool, spa and theater and is on 1.89 acres in the Holmby Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles. They bought the house, built in 1959, for $7 million in 2010 and essentially rebuilt it. The property, which they're calling The Reserve, has its own website. They initially listed the house for $27.95 million in December, but lowered the price a few weeks later.
Post continues below
The two actors got into the house-flipping business almost by accident, Renner told Esquire. They bought a house together in 2002, because they didn't want to pay rent, and made some improvements. When someone offered them $900,000 for a house in which they had invested $659,000, they realized they had found a business more lucrative than acting, at least at the time.
Since then, the two have renovated about 20 homes together, projects that took from three months to a year and a half. Often, they live in the homes while they're being renovated, using the bathrooms at Starbucks and showering at the gym.
"I will never be in the stock market," Renner told Esquire. "It's just gambling. I'm a gambler, but I'll gamble on the practicality of things. If I'm all-in on a structure, at least I can sleep in the damn thing."
During an appearance last week on the "Late Show with David Letterman" to talk about his new film, "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters," he also talked about his house-flipping. He told Letterman that the duo try to find architectural homes with history. "I love architecture, and to me it's something that's always been a tangible art form," Renner said. He also told Letterman that he and Winters had not lost money on any of their flips.
I renovate homes and have done so since 2007. I have never lost money. I am very proud of the work I have done on each home as I renovate them as if I were going to live in them! Everything is repaired and the finish work is far above comparable homes. I am now obtaining contracts before my homes are completed based on word of mouth and showings of homes already under contract. To most of these negative comments...get off your lazy **** and be creative and maybe you can succeed instead of being jealous of our success! I am female in a mostly dominant male housing investor world and never once did I bitch that this isn't fair either! I took crap for a couple years and stuck in there just to prove myself. Did I bitch, NO, I kept focused on my goals and refused to give up! BTW, I started with a home equity line on my residence and have built a mini empire! See what passion, goals, and HARD work can do! I hope you complainers have learned something!!!
I don't presume to know the quality of their work, but I would guess that they know what they're doing, because they essentially do this for a living. I agree that some house flippers are amateurs and are just in it to make a quick buck and don't do a good job. But I also know some house flippers are truly serious about doing quality work, especially when they're selling high-end homes.
You can buy 5 million in stock and have it become worthless, but if you buy a 5 million dollar house with 100 acres it might lose some value but it will never be worth nothing.
The stock market has always given much better returns over time and its not the gamble some thing think unless they view it that way. If you take the time to understand it and use your head along with good solid analysis instead of your heart (gambling) you will prevail much better. PLUS.....
You don't have to work it like you do a house and incurr all of the other issued and safety problem you may run into.
Case in Point...
Today I sold a stock I bought back in Aug 2012 and realized a NET profit of 38.472% and I never lifted a hammer, paint brush or anything else.
I worked with my head and saved my body for the gym, swimming pool and my wife!
None the less good luck Jeremy.

Poly Styrene died yesterday from the breast cancer she had been fighting. This lady was a true awesome -- frontwoman of X-Ray Spex, one of late seventies punk's most unique and powerful voices, and a style icon to boot (braces!!! Neon!!!!!!!).
I've recently been revisiting this album, too. It's just been feeling timely. I feel sad that this happened. So let's watch the world turn Day-Glo.
I remember the first time I heard this track. It was off the Punk You! compilation (I know, it's a little funny). I was like 14 or 15. It blew my mind because it was so loud and great coming out of my boombox. I couldn't yell that loud anywhere, ever. I had an electric guitar but whenever I plugged it in someone told me to turn it down. (SUCKS TO YOU GUYS NOW, ha ha.)

My favorite part was this quote: "We can confirm that the beautiful Poly Styrene, who has been a true fighter, won her battle on Monday evening to go to higher places." Isn't that perfect?

She's been inspiring to so many people, I wasn't at all surprised by the outpouring of support and tribute. And you should look into the music, if you like punk at all. It's quite fun and brilliant.

Yellow men's regular drifter crew neck cotton sweater
Item No.61132_432104534
Our Drifter? is a rare cotton jumper: it delivers on looks, comfort and durability. How? First, we use pure combed cotton, which is inherently softer and stronger than your basic carded variety. Then we knit it to fit the body's natural shape ('full fashioning') and construct it with robust seams, for a superior fit that won't unravel or lose its shape. Ultimately, the Drifter is crafted, and that's what really makes it a 'better cotton sweater'.
- Approx. length in Regular size M: 67.5cm/26.5?
- 100% combed cotton
- Our great casual cotton sweater, at a great price
- Pure cotton is combed for softness and durability
- Updated, slightly lighter knit is always comfortable
- Traditionally fully fashioned for a smooth, bulk-free fit
- Crew neck
- Machine wash, dry flat

File upload sizes? and Albums limitations?
Hi guys, LOVE the BP-Media, by far one of the best plugins i have ever came across for BP. However, the BP-Album had a great feature that controls the amount of albums creations and file sizes. I was struggling to find it in the BP-Media. This is maybe one of the most important elements especially when running a community.Thanks

Still pending…
I'm so worried that if I do get accepted, I won't be able to find a roommate! So, if you're pending or you've been accepted and need a roommate, hit me up. If I'm accepted it will be for regular Fall, and I'd like to live in Chatham, but I'm really okay with anywhere. I'll be 19, so it would have to be wellness.
I'm a normal person, I like to have mini dance parties and movie nights and cook and I would explore the parks whenever I can.
Some fun facts:
- I have a very overweight cat that I may be obsessed with
- Belle is my favorite princess
- If I'm friends with you, I'm okay with you invading my personal space, so feel free to cuddle or use me as a pillow or hold my hand whenever you feel like it.
- sometimes I curse a lot, but never around little kids
- I love to dance, especially The Wobble and The Cupid Shuffle
- I was a cheerleader in highschool
- I sing a lot
I'm not weird, I promise.

: To Circe :
an excerpt by Richard Kenney
Not pig-
Like, quite, nor bleating,
Braying, mewling, really;
Neither, though, thoroughly
Not for a life of pure sensation
Per se,
But certainly a little freer of those cleansing agents
Applied to the topsoul
As to a porch stoop
With such Dutch zeal
As leaves all dream red-raw
And smarting. Duty! Horrid,
Over-wrought rat-
Tail file, drawn like a fiddle-
Bow across the faithless
Heartstrings .... How fatal
It'll feel, at the moment of choice,
Or how could we—Jesus!—
How could we breathe? Such joys
Rest As your paw on mine, my sweet cat, my erst-
While sorceress:
History's an open sewer,
I miss you, wer-
Whoofed again into the animal,
Life of a landstruck sailor man.

Model Number:
The 2XU Sub Zero Tight is a non-restrictive thermal tight that features a front wind-proof panel for protection from the elements, and a back stretch, compression fabric delivering support and stability while you train. The brushed lining provides warmth without bulk, and ankle zippers allow for temperature control. Reflective details increase visibility in low-light settings.
Comments: These 2XU tights are very nicely made and keep me warm in mid 20 temperatures. My one issue is the zipper pulls at the ankles are not covered with any fabric so they chafed the back of my ankles raw on a three mile run. These tights should only be worn with socks that cover the zipper pull. A very unfortunate design flaw not found on other tights with ankle zippers. From: Jacob, Fairfield, Connecticut
Please include any relevant information such as weekly mileage, training or race pace, or foot type.

(WMC-TV) - More than one year after Adam Mayes kidnapped two young girls and killed their mother and sister, family members are relieved it is all finally over.
Teresa and Mary Mayes each reached plea agreements with prosecutors Friday.
Teresa is the widow and Mary is the mother of Adam Mayes. Authorities say he killed Jo Ann Bain and her 14-year-old daughter, Adrienne, and then kidnapped Jo Ann's two other girls, 12-year old Alexandria and 8-year-old Kyliyah, in May 2012.
The two girls were missing for two weeks before being rescued by Mississippi wildlife resource officers.
Jo Ann's cousin Keetha Watson says the plea agreements are long overdue, but she worries the punishments Teresa and Mary received are not enough.
"I'm glad it's over because now the girls can have peace of mind, and their mother and sister can be at rest," she said. "The women who did this, justice has been prevailed. They got what they deserve. They should have gotten a lot worse."
Mary Mayes was sentenced to 13.5 years in prison for her role in the kidnapping of Jo Ann Bain and her three daughters. Teresa Mayes is 32 years old and will spend the next 35 years of her life in prison.
"I have no sympathy for them, no compassion for them, and they're gonna get what the deserve in the women's penitentiary," said Watson.
Prosecutors feel the punishment for Mary and Teresa Mayes is fair.
"Let's not forget who the real monster is in this. It's Adam Mayes. He's no longer with us," said Hardeman County District Attorney Mike Dunavant.
Alexandria and Kyliyah are living with their dad, Gary. As a result of the plea agreements, the girls did not have to testify.
The Hardeman County community was relieved when they realized there would be no trial.
"I'm really glad its over with. And I'm glad those children didn't have to testify," said resident Brenda Blackard.
Friends of the Bain sisters have lived part of it with them. Brooke Spain says she is best friends with Alexandria.
"I've talked to their dad. They say they're doing a lot better. They're still trying to get over it," said Spain. "It's still a big deal around here even though its been so long. We're all just worried about them."
Mary and Teresa Mayes will be transferred to the Tennessee Department of Correction. They will have to serve 100 percent of their sentences. But still, family members say they feel no punishment is strong enough for what Jo Ann Bain and her daughters had to endure.

124cc, 15bhp, mph, Insurance group
The SR Max 125 is a nice little city scooter, with bags of weather protection and comfort for longer journeys. Struggles at speeds above 40mph, but at town speeds it's perfectly adequate. Handling is spot on. If you want an all year round scoot with good wether protection the SR Max 125 is a great choice.
1690cc, bhp, 112mph, Insurance group 15
The Slim is essentially a standard Softail (ie a big twin with hidden rear shocks for that 'hardtail' look) but given (as seems to be repeatedly fashionable with cruisers from all manufacturers at the moment) the minimalist, '50s 'bobber'/hot rod look. The difference here, though, is the 'Slim' bit. Harley's view was that its existing Softails had become ever bigger ...
1584cc, bhp, 110mph, Insurance group 14
On face vale, the Harley Blackline should be a great addition to the Harley range, using the proven big twin powertrain and Softail chassis and dressing is up according to the latest 'blacked-out', pared down bobber fashion. Trouble is, style has won over substance. Though it looks good, the riding position is agonizingly extreme and unadjustable – so much so ...
124cc, 13bhp, 68mph, Insurance group
A very decent sporty 125 with great equipment and good handling that's let down by an inflated price tag. Those that need a cheap runaround will opt for a Chinese-made budget equivalent, while performance obsessed young 'uns will go for the pricier CBR125R or a YZF-R125. If you find yourself in possession of a KR Sport or can nab a ...
125cc, 9bhp, 62mph, Insurance group
The Super 8 125 is probably the most polished feeling scooter that Kymco make. It offers the sportiness of the Agility with the comfort of the Like. The ride has a nice feel to it and the finish on the dash, seat and pipes looks the best of the lot. It's well priced too.
125cc, bhp, 60mph, Insurance group
Famous Italian motorcycle brand Garelli is back with a new range of scooters and mopeds. The XO is effectively their flagship model and benefits from sharp looks, stable 16" wheels and decent disc brakes. It's a stylish and perfectly adequate town run-around - the only drawback is a slightly lacklustre engine.
125cc, 8.5bhp, 60mph, Insurance group
The Vity 125 is not a cutting edge scooter. It's not fast. It doesn't look good unless you've got a thing for the 80s. But it does the job and has one big saving grace – a £1,799 price tag which, for a trustworthy 125cc Yamaha, is very cheap.
124cc, 8.5bhp, 60mph, Insurance group
Classy styling, nice attention to detail and a list of handy well thought-out features make the Vivacity 125 look like a charming city commuter package. Overall it strikes a tempting balance between quality and price. The only slight let down is its performance.
125cc, 12bhp, 65mph, Insurance group 5
If you want the comfort and practicality of a maxi-scooter but you're limited to 125cc, the well-spec'd Burgman is a safe choice. It's not quite up to a motorway commute, but for city use it's a classy ride with more luggage space than you'll know what to do with.
124cc, 11bhp, 65mph, Insurance group 3
Produced by Brighton-based Sinnis, but manufactured in China, the Trackstar is a cheap, trendy 125cc alternative to the CG 125 or the Virago. It's very easy to control and manoeuvre, making it an attractive option for learners or novice bikers. It's also got the looks and charm to interest scooter riders, commuters or city-dwellers who are won over by its ...

It would be ludicrous to visit a podiatrist if you're having chest pains. Just as all doctors are not made equal, not all financial advisers are suited for your individual needs.
Say, for instance, you're a 35-year-old married man with two young children. Your financial circumstance would look quite different from that of a 61-year-old nearing retirement. As a result, you would need different strengths from a financial planner.
Uncovering areas of expertise is just one objective when seeking someone to help manage your finances. At the start of a new year, many people will look for professional help to orchestrate their financial moves. Doing so blindly, however, could potentially leave you in a deeper hole than when you started.
It pays to take precautions, ask the right questions, and identify and stay focused on your goals.
"People tend to get a little too carried away about what miracles the adviser might be able to work for them," said certified financial planner, Don

Katherine Brown '76 grew up in a family of musicians and singers. "From a very early age I could not imagine music and the arts not being a focus of my life," she said.
What she did not expect was where her music degree would take her. "I had never really thought before about the people behind the scenes who were engaged in the fundraising, public relations, marketing, and other management-related activities so crucial to making the performing arts happen, and that there could be a career there," she said.
Brown, whose career began with an entry-level position with the National Endowment for the Arts, was recently named executive director of the New York City Ballet.
"I have found the perfect combination for me: working in support of artistic pursuits but on the other side of the curtain in administration," Brown said.
She previously worked for the New York City Ballet as director of development from 1988 to 1993. Brown has also served as the chief operating officer at WNYC Radio in New York, executive director for Jazz at Lincoln Center, and manager of major gifts for the New York Public Library.
She credits the College and its low student/faculty ratio with reinforcing her music background. "That meant there was much focused attention from the professors, which is so important, especially in a performing arts field," she said.

I was particualry impressed with little things....when we reboarded the ship after a local tour ( all of which were splendid) just exchanging our boarding passes for our room keys was done most expeditiously, never leaving us feeling like cattle ( much as you are made to feel by the airlines). Our room was constantly clean. Each morning when we went to breakfast, we returned to a spotlessly clean room. One time I even forgot something, went back to my room and somehow it had already been cleaned. Their timing was down to the minute with the few exceptions of arriving early once or twice to a destination. We were truly made to feel that, as Catalina would say, the Legend was our home away from home on the Danube, except with much better service.
They handled our transfer to the Prague Hilton, our check in and then our transfer to the airport seamlessly. Much to our surprise, when we reached the airport at Prague, there was the Viking rep smiling and waiting to whisk us through the check in process painlessly. By this time, I was fully expecting a Viking rep to be waiting at our home when we returned with our mail all sorted, refreshments ready and waiting. They really could not have done anything more to make us feel comfortable and welcome. The arranged tours were professional, informative and fun. We met and made many new friends aboard
So well done to Viking and especially the crew and staff of the Legend. We would certainly consider taking another cruise with Viking. You gave us the gift of a wonderful vacation and memories we will cherish forever. Thanks to all aboard and all the staff on land that made our trip truly special.
John Stevens

Part One: Miranda July, Hamish Linklater and Wim Wenders in a Cinematic Odyssey
For today's exclusive story, NOWNESS contributors and filmmaking partners Carlo Lavagna and Roberto de Paolis set out to chronicle the 61st annual Berlin International Film Festival—and came away with a highly imaginative tribute to the host city itself. Lavagna's girlfriend, aspiring filmmaker Claude Gerber, joins the intrepid duo as they hop from Berlin's infamous nightclubs to Treptower Park's abandoned funfair, encountering famous friends along the way: filmmaker Miranda July, in town to promote her second feature, The Future, and the movie's lead actor, Hamish Linklater; eccentric artist Julius von Bismarck; and maverick German director Wim Wenders. Soundtracked by Marlene Dietrich and Düsseldorf electropunk outfit D.A.F., the short film is stocked with cinematic riffs: "The opening scene mimics Truffaut's The 400 Blows," says Lavagna, "except the Eiffel Tower is replaced with the TV tower in Alexanderplatz." Check back tomorrow to see the filmmakers' interview with Wenders, for whom Berlin is the ultimate home. "Wim told us he tried to live in LA, in San Francisco, but they were all too beautiful to be true," says De Paolis. "He said he loves Berlin because it's too true to be beautiful."

The deaths of Santa Cruz Police Department officers Sgt. Loren "Butch" Baker and Detective Elizabeth Butler were remembered Thursday, March 7, as their funeral procession headed through Scotts Valley on Highway 17 toward San Jose.
The officers were killed in the line of duty in Santa Cruz on Feb. 26 while investigating an alleged sexual assault case.
Scotts Valley Police Department had two police cars and three motorcycle officers in the procession, which left Santa Cruz for a memorial service at HP Pavilion in San Jose.
The procession included hundreds of law enforcement vehicles and closed Highway 17 for about 10 minutes. Nearby streets, including the overpass at Granite Creek Road in Scotts Valley, were lined with people holding American flags.
John Weiss, Scotts Valley's police chief, said the tragedy made his officers reflect and be mindful of their fellow officers' safety.
"If there's any shred of silver lining for hope that came out of this tragedy, it is this: the community support and good will that we have seen has been immense," Weiss said.
Weiss said Scotts Valley officers who attended the ceremony wore their best blue uniforms to pay their respects.
Weiss said the crowds that lined the overpasses in Scotts Valley and city streets were heartening.
"It reminds us that while police officers sometimes deal with evil, it's the community that reminds us why we are in this profession," he said.
Baymonte Christian School's student council joined hundreds of people on the Granite Creek overpass to be among those showing their support. They carried 14 lettered posters to spell out "honor & remember."
"In hopeless situations like this, in such tragedies, it's hard to think that you can make a difference, or that you can help in any way, because we're just middle-schoolers," said Alyse Handley, the Baymonte Christian School student council outreach officer. "It just really makes me happy that we can show them that we care and show them our appreciation just by little signs, and that we can make an impression on this huge tragedy."
"We painted the signs and put them all together, and then got to come out and honor them," said Debbie Siemsen, advisor of Baymonte's student council.
Baymonte's Principal Steve Patterson came up with the idea for the sign in order to commemorate the officers.
"It was his inspiration to honor the victims," said Debbie Siemsen, advisor of Baymonte's student council, "and from there student council officers came together."

So clearly, we at PUMA are in love with our new Women's Soccer Training Collection—turns out, we aren't the only ones! Women's Soccer Daily, an online blog dedicated to all things women's soccer, recently had the opportunity to test out this new product line and they had a few things to say…
"PUMA recently presented Women's Soccer Daily the opportunity to test its unique women's soccer training collection. PUMA didn't forget its roots with this new release – it's bright, loud, and stylish, without sacrificing performance. If you're an athletic woman that likes to work out in the same sweats that she may just get away with wearing on a date, this collection is for you. If you're looking to order online, Soccer.comis your best bet.
I tested the Lifestyle Windbreaker, Statement Soccer Jacket, Lifestyle Graphic Crew sweatshirt, Soccer Capri, Lifestyle SL Hoodie, and the Soccer Rollover Short. I rated each piece of training gear on a 5 point scale with 5 as excellent and 1 as poor using fit, design, and value as metrics. There's one disclosure: I ordered some of the gear a size bigger than I normally would, just because in my experience women's gear always runs small and sometimes awkward, but this collection is very much true to size."

The Ramsar Bulletin Board, 2 February 2004
Report of the Standing Committee's 30th meeting. The Ramsar Standing Committee met in Gland, Switzerland, 13-16 January 2004, and the report is now ready. As is Ramsar custom, the full report is presently being transmitted to the Contracting Parties by diplomatic notification in its English version, along with the 21 thoughtful Decisions themselves in English, French, or Spanish as appropriate. Now, those of you who've been waiting with bated breath can exhale -- the English report and the English Decisions are available here and here respectively, and the French and Spanish Decisions won't be too far behind. The heart-melting photographs will be along later, after the rush of World Wetlands Day has subsided. [31/01/04]
Superb new publication on Eastern European transboundary wetlands. The question of the collaborative international management of transboundary wetlands, and of transboundary Ramsar Sites, has become increasingly prominent over the past few years. A new publication from the Institute of Ecology of Vilnius University and OMPO Vilnius provides an excellent model for further development of this promising concept -- Important Transboundary Belarusian-Lithuanian and Lithuanian-Russian Wetlands, by Saulius Svazas (et al), with financial support from the NGO OMPO (Migratory Birds of the Western Palearctic) and the Ramsar Convention is an extremely well-produced and well-illustrated 96-page softcover book, which can be obtained from OMPO Vilnius (email@example.com) and for which Ramsar's Tobias Salathé has provided this following insightful foreword. [29/01/04]
Call for SGF project proposals for the 2004 cycle. The Ramsar Small Grants Fund was established by Ramsar COP4 in 1990 as a mechanism to assist developing countries and those with economies in transition in implementing the Convention and to enable the conservation and wise use of wetland resources - since that time, it has provided funding and co-funding, up to 40,000 Swiss francs (about US$ 32,000) per project, for something like 165 projects totaling about 6 million francs. Suitable project proposals are those which contribute to the implementation of the Convention's Strategic Plan 2003-2008 for the conservation and wise use of wetlands; provide emergency assistance for Ramsar sites; or provide 'preparatory assistance' to allow non-Contracting Parties to progress toward accession. The call for proposals is now being made for the 2004 cycle, and here is the announcement. [29/01/04]
World Wetlands Day - China. Ms. Yin Hong, Ramsar National Focal Point, China State Forestry Administration, and Mr. Bao Damin, Ramsar National STRP Focal Point, have informed the Bureau that the Chinese translation of the WWD 2004poster has been printed in 10,000 copies for distribution to governmental offices, Ramsar sites, NGOs, schools, etc. Here's a look at it.
Niger Basin Ramsar workshop begins in Mali. The workshop "A Ramsar network for the Niger Basin -- Subregional Networking for Ramsar Sites in the Niger Basin", supported by the Danone Groupe through WWF's Living Waters Programme and by Ramsar's Swiss Grant for Africa, is presently underway in Mopti, Mali, 27-31 January 2004. A considerable number of government and NGO experts are speaking on technical and policy issues in the sustainable development and integrated management of watershed catchment basins and, in particular, the Niger River Basin, and a final report and recommendations will be expected at the end of it. Ramsar-related participants include Abou Bamba, the Secretariat's Senior Advisor for Africa, Thymio Papayannis, the MedWet adviser, and Christophe Lefèbvre, the contact person for the Danone/Evian-Ramsar Fund, as well as Denis Landenbergue of WWF's Living Waters Programme, Anada Tiéga, former Ramsar Coordinator now head of a GEF project in Chad, and Aboubacar Awaïss, a former STRP member from Niger. A report and photos will follow in due course, but in the meantime, here is the programme.
Following the workshop, on 1 February, the President of WWF and Amadou Toumani Toure, the President of Mali, will preside over World Wetlands Day ceremonies celebrating the designation of the Inner Niger Delta as Ramsar's third largest Wetland of International Importance. More on that later. [28/01/04]
News from the SGF. Syria completes community participation project for Al Jaboul Lake. The Ramsar Secretariat is very pleased to report that the Syrian Arab Republic has completed the SGF 2001 project dedicated to 'Strengthening the participation of local community in the management of Al-Jaboul Lake'. As Atef Deib, the Ramsar National Coordinator and coordinator of the project, reports, the principal objective of this project was to encourage the active and informed participation of local communities in the conservation and wise use of this wetland. The outputs achieved are twofold. First, the personnel of the Ministry of Irrigation have been trained in areas related to wetland management and particularly the participatory practices; and second, the local communities (including women and children) have increased the level of understanding of the impacts from existing activities on the lake's environment, activities that are carried out by stakeholders whose livelihood depends on the resources provided by the wetland, including the local industry, agriculture, hunters and fishermen. Liazzat Rabbiosi, Ramsar's Assistant Advisor for Asia, has prepared this illustrated report on the project. [28/01/04]
New low tide bird counts published in the UK. On 25 January 2004, Elliot Morley MP, Minister for the Environment in the UK, launched a new book called Estuarine Waterbirds at Low Tide, the distillation of seven years of observations by 600 volunteer birdwatchers. Estuarine Waterbirds at Low Tide is published by the International Wader Study Group, on behalf of the Wetland Bird Survey (WeBS), a partnership of the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO), The Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT), RSPB, and the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC). Here's a BTO press release with a comment from Ramsar's Nick Davidson, with photos of Louise Vall and Colin McLeod making a pre-launch presentation of the book to the Ramsar Secretariat. [27/01/04]
Flamingo Conservation and Ramsar Site Management at Lake Bogoria National Reserve, Kenya. The University of Leicester, in association with Earthwatch Institute (Europe), has received Darwin Initiative funding from the British Government for three years from July 2003 to further the conservation of lesser flamingo and the Lake Bogoria National Reserve Ramsar site. In 2000, Lake Bogoria(0° 11'-20' N, 36° 06' E) was designated as a Ramsar wetland of international importance. One of the requirements of this status is the development of a conservation management plan, but there is almost no scientific information concerning the lake's ecology to aid this process. Here is the project leader David Harper's description of the new project. [26/01/04]
Ramsar signs two MOUs with the USA -- USA makes continued funding available for two key Ramsar small project assistance programmes. The Ramsar Convention Bureau and delegates from the United States State Department and Fish and Wildlife Service took the occasion of the 30th meeting of the Standing Committee, in Gland, Switzerland, to sign two memoranda of understanding that open an area of even greater cooperation in the funding of small projects in pursuit of the Convention's principles of wetland conservation and wise use. The Wetlands for the Future Fund, which has been disbursing US$ 250,000 a year through the Ramsar Bureau since 1995 for capacity-building wetland projects in Latin America has now been continued to 2008 in a new agreement. And in an innovative programme, the Corporate Wetlands Restoration Partnership (CWRP), a public-private partnership between the United States federal government, U.S. state governments and private corporations to restore wetlands and other aquatic habitats, has decided to expand its activities to fund international projects, and has elected to fund Ramsar's WFF and SGF programs as one means of accomplishing this goal. The mechanism for disbursing CWRP funds will be through the Coastal America Foundation (CAF), and project proposals evaluated and recommended by the Ramsar Bureau will be circulated for donations for potential support by CWRP partners. WFF projects are restricted to Latin American proposals but the Ramsar Small Grants Fund is open to proposals from all OECD DAC-list countries in the developing countries and those with economies in transition. Here's the news item and signing photos, leading to the texts of the two new MOUs. [21/01/04]
ICRI CPC meeting, Turks & Caicos Islands, November 2003. On 17-19 November, in the Turks & Caicos Islands, the International Coral Reef Initiative (ICRI) held the Coordination and Planning Committee's first meeting of the two-year tenure of the UK/Seychelles Secretariat. Thanks to the generous support of the UK Government, the Ramsar Secretariat was able to attend, joining 52 experts representing governments, NGOs and IGOs. The full report of the meeting can be found on the ICRI Web site (http://www.icriforum.org - About ICRI), but Margarita Astrálaga reports briefly on the proceedings from a Ramsar perspective, and includes a few photographs.

New Zealand wetland inventory now on line. From the Science Publishing team, Science & Research Unit, Department of Conservation, Wellington, New Zealand: "In 1996, the New Zealand Department of Conservation (DOC) published A DIRECTORY OF WETLANDS IN NEW ZEALAND. It was compiled by Pam Cromarty and edited by Derek A. Scott for DOC, the International Waterfowl and Wetlands Research Bureau (IWRB), and the Ramsar Convention Bureau. The Directory describes 73 wetlands and wetland complexes that meet the criteria for international importance (it is not a comprehensive listing of ALL wetlands in New Zealand). The wetlands have been selected on the basis of criteria developed in relation to the Ramsar Convention. Although special attention is paid to the importance of the wetlands for wildlife, all wetland values including water storage, flood control, coastal protection and fisheries production have been taken into consideration. The contents of this book (394 p.) are now available on the DOC website, organised by the 13 Conservancies from North to South. Note that the pdf files are an accurate representation of the text as first published, except for some minor formatting changes (e.g. line and page breaks may be slightly different). This is effectively a reprint, not a revision of the 1996 publication. Some hardcopies are still available for purchase: mailto:email@example.com (NZ$40.00)." The list of URLs, or Web addresses, for these 13 PDF files can be seen here. [12/01/04]
Report of the seminar in Armenia for New Independent States. The international seminar "Current Issues of Conservation and Wise Use of Wetlands and Wetland Biodiversity in the European New Independent States" was held in Sevan, Armenia, 15-19 September 2003, with financial support from the Ramsar Small Grants Fund and from LakeNet. The newly released report of the meeting provides a detailed look at the process of organizing the event, a summary of the proceedings, the list of 64 participants (from Armenia, Belarus, Czech Republic, Georgia, Iran, Kyrgyz Republic, Lithuania, Moldova, Russia, Turkmenistan, and Ukraine in the region), the Recommendations that emerged from the deliberations, and some photographs (including Mr Pritchard's "Swan Dance", left), all of which have been reprinted here, as well as budgetary and Armenian-language materials, which have not. Armenians and others planning similar meetings in the future might do well to weigh this report as a model for their own preparations. [09/01/04]
Ramsar Advisory Mission report for Spain's Doñana. The well-known Doñana National Park became Spain's first Ramsar Site in 1982 and its core area is also listed under UNESCO's World Heritage Convention and Man and Biosphere Programme. In 1990, the site was included on the Montreux Record because of fears that excessive water abstractions, mainly for intensive tourist developments along the coast and irrigated cultures in the immediate vicinity of the Park, would irrevocably degrade the ecological character of the site. The Spanish and Andalusian governments have since undertaken many efforts to relieve pressure from the site, but in 1998 a great setback occurred when the wall of a waste holding pool of the Boliden Apirsa pyrite mine, some 60 km upstream, broke and released some 5 million m3 of toxic sludge and acid waters along the Guadiamar river basin, downstream to the very edge of the National Park, and into the core zone of the wetland area. During the first of two Ramsar Advisory Missions, 1-4 October 2002, Ramsar experts Francesc Giró from Barcelona and Luis Costa from Lisbon, together with Tobias Salathéof the Secretariat, focused on the concrete results of the two programmes "Corredor verde del Guadiamar" and "Doñana 2005" in the field, but due to the extent and complexity of the issues at stake, a second mission is planned for the not too distant future. The report of this first RAM mission (in Spanish) is now available here and the news story from the time of the mission is available in English here. [07/01/04]
