Brisbane Heat skipper James Hopes has turned in a man-of-the-match performance to lead his side to an upset 24-run win over the Melbourne Stars at the Gabba tonight.
Hopes (49 off 40 balls) top scored as the home side set the second-placed Stars 172 for victory. He then took 3 for 28 with the ball as Brisbane recorded their first home win of the season.
Dan Christian (27 off 23) and Chris Lynn (26 off 17) sparked the Heat into action late in their innings after runs dried up in the middle overs. That was due largely to the bowling of Lasith Malinga, who had figures of 3-1 off his first two overs.
Stars 9-147
20th: McDermott bowls the last over and Stars tailenders Malinga and McKay are under no illusions of pulling off a miracle win. The Heat quick rattles Malinga's stumps with the last ball of the match. Heat skipper Hopes (49 runs off 40 balls and 3 for 28) named man of the match.
Stars 8-145
19th: WICKET Faulkner's not throwing in the towel. He takes Roach over the mid-wicket fence on the first ball of the over. But the West Indian gets his revenge two balls later when he slips one through Faulkner (18 off 11) and lights up the stumps. Malinga to the crease with Warne still sitting on the sidelines.
Stars 7-136
18th: McDermott to bowl the third last over for the Heat. He starts off with a bouncer that's called a wide. He persists with the short length though and the rest of the over is frugal. Just four off it. Stars need three a ball.
Stars 7-132
17th: WICKET Crowd officially announced at 24,570 and they are in for a hell of a finish here with the visitors needing a touch over two runs a ball. Perera bowling again and he watches his second delivery rocket off Hastings' bat and fall over the rope just in front of the sight screen. Just as Hastings (22 off 11) is looking terrifying for the Stars, Perera slips a yorker through him and rattles his stumps.
Stars 6-121
16th: Hastings gets a lucky boundary over the keeper off a Cutting short ball. Cutting over-pitches and Hastings launches it into the stands over long-on.
Stars 6-109
15th: WICKET Perera comes into the attack with immediate effect. White (3 off 5) tries to club one over the infield and it's taken by Pomersbach at mid-off. Faulkner comes to the crease. And now it's Hussey (17 off 15) who dishes up an easy catch to Roach at backward square leg. Heat sniff their first home win of the season now. Faulkner to the crease.
Stars 4-102
14th: Hussey swings a Christian delivery square. It looks like it may carry to one of two fielders in the deep but falls short. His cross-bat slog off the next ball produces an edge to the third-man boundary. Stars bring up their 100 off 13.4 overs. Interestingly, Brisbane were also on 100 at that point of their innings, but had an extra wicket in hand.
Stars 4-92
13th: WICKET Hopes resumes bowling duties and gets Maxwell (13 off 9) to have a crack at the square leg boundary. He skies his shot and Lynn has a sandwich waiting for it to come down and finally takes the catch. White comes to the crease.
Stars 3-85
12th: Christian to bowl for the Heat as Hopes comes off the field. Not sure what the problem is there. Matt Hayden still a popular face in these parts. He gets a round of applause as his face flashes up on the big screen. Christian almost snares a miracle caught and bowled off Maxwell, but his diving effort goes to ground. Hopes back on the field. Comfort stop?
Stars 3-79
11th: WICKET Wright (34 off 30) holds out to Christian on the mid-on boundary off the bowling of Hopes. The skipper has bowled well for the Heat and they will be glad to see the back of the Englishman. Maxwell comes in for the Stars. He plays a copybook pull shot over the fence behind square. Effortless stroke.
Stars 2-69
10th: Cutting changes ends and takes the ball from the Vulture Street end. Hussey and Wright settling for singles off cut shots behind square as Cutting keeps a tight line. Hopes almost takes a screamer in gully off the last ball.
Stars 2-63
9th: WICKET Forrest redeems himself after dropping a tough one off Hodge, by swallowing one off the bowling of Hopes. Hodge (21 off 18) is a key wicket for the home side and Hussey comes to the crease.
Stars 1-58
8th: Change of pace here with Hauritz into the attack. Wright gets hold of a full toss but it's cut off at the straight boundary by Roach. Hodge comes down the wicket and clubs the last ball of the over past the rope at mid-on.
Stars 1-45
7th: Hopes draws Wright into a lofty on-drive and it drops frustratingly close to Hauritz and Christian. Wright then pulls one out to Hauritz's neighbourhood at mid-wicket but once again it falls just short. And now it's a diving Forrest in gully who drops a well-hit Hodge cut shot.
Stars 1-38
6th: Wright survives a very vocal appeal after he stepped inside a Roach short ball and the Heat thought he'd feathered it to Hartley. Umpire doesn't agree. Wright responds by pumping the next ball over covers to the fence with a horizontal bat. The over ends with Hodge surviving an LBW shout.
Stars 1-33
5th: Wright late cuts Cutting to the fence. He tries the same shot again but finds Perera on the third-man fence. Hodge stands and delivers a brutal cut shot through point. Minimum footwork and maximum power from the Victorian. Cutting digging in short and straight to round out the over and he has more success wit hthat wit hthree dot balls.
Stars 1-24
4th: McDermott on for his second over and Hodge flicks him fine to the fence through fine leg. He then tries to put one over the long boundary at mid-wicket. He gets a top edge but it falls safe between two fielders.
Stars 1-16
3rd: Roach comes on for his second over and Wright almost throws his back out trying to put the first delivery over Stanley Street. Roach responds with a nasty short ball. Good over from Roach.
Stars 1-12
2nd: WICKET McDermott takes bowling duties for the Heat and Quniey (10 off 9) puts his first delivery over mid-off. It's not cleanly hit but it had enough muscle to reach the rope. The Victorian tries to swing one off his hip but skies it behind square and Roach makes no mistake with the catch. Hodge comes in for the visitors.
Stars 0-5
1st: Quiney and Wright open the batting for the Stars. They face Roach from the Stanley Street end. The West Indian quick straight into the mid-140s, but Quiney seeing it well after 20 overs behind the stumps. He launches one to the fence over covers.
Innings end: If the Heat get run down in this chase, they will likely look at the early part of the innings when the Stars tied them down, mainly through some torrid bowling from Malinga (3 for 26), who had 3 for 1 off his first two overs. Great comeback from Christian (27 off 23) and Lynn (26 off 17) gave the Heat bowlers something to defend though. Hopes finally among the runs as well, hitting 49 off 40 balls.
Heat 5-171
20th: WICKET Both Lynn and Christian getting clean bat on Malinga but unable to find the rope. Christian run out trying to stretch a single into two. Forrest comes to the crease. Then Lynn gets onto one and puts it over mid-wicket - halfway into the second tier. Massive shot (they're calling it 100m) and he's making a mess of Malinga's figures.
Heat 4-154
19th: Faulkner watches Christian get a life after an off-drive rockets to mid-off and pops out of the fielder's hands. Laughter around the ground as teh big screen reveals that fielder is Shane Warne. Christian hits a couple of boundaries, the second of which comes on an edge that almost turned into an acrobatic catch for Quiney. Would have been all over the highlight packages for a long time but it flies off the glove to the fence.
Heat 4-142
18th: And it's that man Malinga with the ball in his hand again. He'll bowl two of the last three overs. Lynn has done the seemingly impossible and sent him to the fence through covers. Crowd appreciates the achievement. Lynn and Christian don't push their luck for the rest of the over, taking runs one at a time apart from a single they took off a wide.
Heat 4-132
17th: Christian finding the fence off McKay now as the pair continue to exchange words. Lynn getting good bat on ball as well but he's cut off at the straight boundary by White and then Hussey on consecutive balls.
Heat 1-119
16th: Lynn opens his scoring by swatting Warne to the square leg fence. Quiney shows quick gloves again. He looks like he may have taken off the bails with Lynn's foot in the air but replays show the Heat batsman was safe.
Heat 4-114
15th: WICKET Genuine face-off between McKay and Perera as the Stars stack the fence on the on-side. The Heat batsman, anticipating a short ball stands well back in his crease. The first one is hit hard to the man at mid-wicket, and the next goes over the fence and another goes for four. The whole thing is punctuated by a heated exchange between Christian and McKay, with only the grill on Christian's helmet keeping the pair apart. The over ends with Perera getting glove on yet another short ball and Quiney takes the catch. Lynn comes to the crease and Warne to bowl.
Heat 3-100
14th: Wright can't find a hole in the ground big enough after a mix-up between himself and Warne gives Perera a life. The Sri Lankan skied one off Hastings and the two Stars players were left looking at each other as the ball fell between them. The Melbourne skipper was none too pleased.
Heat 3-97
13th: WICKET Malinga comes on for his second over. His figures? 1 for 0 off one over. Make that 2 for 0 after Hartley (24 off 25) pops up a slower ball and White swallows it on the off side. Actually, make that 3 for 0 after Hopes (49 off 41) misreads a slower ball and it cleans up his stumps. Christian survives the hat-trick ball with Perera at the other end. Round of applause for Christian as he finally takes a run off the Sri Lankan, 11 balls and three wickets into his spell. That's the over bowled and Malinga has the figures of 3 for 1 off 2 overs. I am guilty of typos from time to time, but trust me, those figures are correct.
Heat 1-96
12th: Faulkner on from the Stanley Street end. Hopes still getting no value for good shots. He's finding the middle but also finding fielders. One off-drive picks out Warne just inside the circle. It would just about have put a hole in the fence had it got through. Hartley flicks a ball fine down the leg side to the fence. Similar shot the next ball but a diving Quiney cuts it off.
Heat 1-88
11th: Hastings back on as the crowd gets into some "YMCA". At least 24,000 through the gates so far, which is a pretty good roll-up. Hartley has a crack at the mid-wicket boundary and skies it. It falls perilously close to Faulkner in th edeep. He survives a run out attempt on a quick single the next ball. He appreciates the lives he's been given and responds by clubbing a straight drive to the fence off a no-ball. He can only manage a single of the free hit. Quiney gets an ugly slower-ball bouncer that reaches him on the half-hop. He covers it well but it's a wide and Hartley takes the next ball to the fence.
Heat 1-71
10th: Warne on for his second over. He manages to put the shackles back on the Heat. Nine off the over. The Heat really need to hit the gas now.
Heat 1-62
9th: Hussey comes on to roll in a few off-spinners for the Stars. Hopes finally breaks loose and clubs one over the long-on fence. Runs had been coming in small bites to that point, so the 11-run over will be appreciated.
Heat 1-51
8th: Cheer around the ground signals Warne has the ball in hand. The "Warnie" chant comes out but it's snuffed out by a well-timed interjection from the ground announcer. Good test for Quiney there as Warne shoots one down the leg side. He fumbles as he whips the bails off, but did well to get glove on it in the first place. Hartley steps across the stumps and spoons one over the top for a boundary at fine leg. Quiney likes his chances of a stumping on the end of the over. It goes to the replay but the big screen shows Hartley got his left foot back in time.
Heat 1-43
7th: McKay takes the ball again at the Vulture Street end. Hopes hits hard to the straight boundary but it's cut off by Hodge in the deep. Runs really hard to come by for the home side at the moment. Everything seems to pick out a fielder for Hopes. McKay having plenty of success digging short balls in. Brisbane must be getting frustrated. Nine runs off three overs.
Heat 1-38
6th: Heat trying to create some runs from somewhere after a slow over. Hartley survives an LBW shout but it looks like there was willow on it. The Heat wicket-keeper looking better after a well-timed pull shot is fielded in the deep.
Heat 1-33
5th: WICKET Malinga comes into the attack for the first time and Heat fans around the stadium shuffle in their seats. And with good reason. Pomersbach (12 off 10) attacks the first delivery and gets a good piece of it, but his on-drive is plucked out of the air by Faulkner at mid-on. Hartley comes in for the Heat. Malinga says hello with a full toss flirting with no-ball status. Safe to say Hartley is awake now. If he wasn't a bouncer a couple of balls later should have done the job. Dot ball maiden.
Heat 0-33
4th: Hastings gets the ball for the Stars and Pomersbach comes down the pitch to greet him, belting him back over his head to the fence. The Heat opener steps back and guides the next delivery through vacant third slip. Four more. Hopes survives a scare after a late cut goes sour and the ball ends up under his feet. It wobbles around the crease, flirting with the stumps, but the Heat skipper survives.
Heat 0-24
3rd: Hopes gives himself room and caresses a Faulkner delivery to the fence through covers. Lovely shot. Faulkner ends the over with a slower ball but Hopes sees it coming a mile off and clubs it to the rope over mid-on.
Heat 0-12
2nd: McKay bowls the second over. He over-pitches and Hopes plays a lovely cover drive to the rope. The Heat skipper chancing his arm early. He survives a caught-behind appeal after trying to cut a ball close to the body, then he charges into a cross-bat shot that flops to the ground just wide of Malinga at mid-off.
Heat 0-5
1st: Part-time wicket-keeper Qiuiney gets tested with the first ball of the night straying wide down leg side. The Test discard dives full-length to his right and gloves it despite a resume very thin on keeping experience. Faulkner pretty tight early, with Hopes clipping through square leg for three to register the most damage in the first over.
Pre-game: We're just about ready to go here, with a good crowd in for the second last Big Bash game of the season. Shane Warne has just fired up the Stars before they took the field. Stars won the toss and sent in the home side, with Hopes and Pomersbach facing the new ball for the Heat. Faulkner has the new ball.
The Heat look to have their work cut out for them tonight as the second-placed Melbourne Stars come to town looking to draw level with cross-town rivals the Renegades at the top of the Big Bash League ladder. They bring with them the BBL's best bowler in Sri Lanakan Lasith Malinga and veteran spin king Warne, making runs a precious commodity for the sixth-placed Heat.

In an exclusive one-on-one interview, Fox 2's Charlie LeDuff talked with state Treasurer Andy Dillon about Wayne County's finances and asked if a financial review team will be brought in.
"Not yet," said Dillon.
"I met with the county last week," he continued. "You saw that shortfall estimated $25 million to $40 million, right, structural deficit? But it's a little bit worse than that because they have an accumulated deficit about $160 (million) which has to be paid down within five years, so that number's even bigger."
"I'd rather let them try to fix it themselves," he added. "We don't want to have state involvement unless it's absolutely necessary. So, if the county can come up with the solution, I'll support it and I would not recommend to the governor that we begin the review of Wayne County."
In addition to Wayne County's finances, Dillon spent a lot of time during the interview talking about Detroit. Here are some of the highlights.
LeDuff said the perception is that Bing is a puppet and Dillon is pulling all the strings. His response?
"We don't go in and say, look at, do X, Y and Z. We just want to see their plan that we think can get the city to balance."
What is Detroit's projected shortfall for this quarter?
"The range we're hearing is $20 million to $25 million maybe."
"A lot of the employment terms, they were reached in July and then... because the city's payroll system is so broke, it takes a matter of weeks to actually have them take effect, and then you might recall there was the temporary restraining order from the court that delayed it even further," he added. "So the actual date that savings was implemented remains a little bit of a mystery to me, but I think it has taken effect now."
LeDuff also asked Dillon to describe Detroit's politicians.
"If you didn't live in the city, you'd say it's tremendously broken, but my one-on-ones with most of the council members are pretty good. I think they all want to do the right thing. I think we can improve the lines of communication between the mayor's office and the council. I think that would go a long way. The mayor really cares. He's an honest guy. He's got a monster on his hands here. This is probably the most challenging turnaround in the country."
LeDuff also asked Dillon what it's like to be called the "white devil".
"I'm used to that and I think it's the vocal minority. I mean, I feel and the governor feels we have a responsibility to the citizens that are not being heard, and it's the mother that's worried about can her child get to school safely, that they're walking home in the dark because there (are) no lights. There's no bus to pick their kid up. I mean, that is who we're fighting for and I'll take that fight every day."
Dillon even called out one of Mayor Dave Bing's appointees.
"On demolition, we've had some hiccups there. The state has allocated $10 million to do demolition in the city and we're struggling to get through the city's process and system to do that. So, it's one of my high priorities saying to Kriss Andrews, 'Hey, Kriss, Look you've got to get this to council. You've got to streamline this process so we can help you with the demolition.' So, there's a lot of procedural issues."
What did Andrews say?
"He's trying to work it out with council and with the Planning Department to break through that."
Can't he just do it?
"That's what I said. I said go and lose the vote, I don't care. At least we know where the problem is."

from The Lovely Crow
Just finished the cowboy hat from lovely crow this morning
worth every single cent i spend on every pattern of lovely crow..very very easy to follow..explained very well..even new crocheter can do her pattern..she has worked well to make each pattern..thanks so much elizabeth..
cute baby, good pattern easy to follow.
Flippin' adorable pattern! I'm an advanced beginner in crochet, and I found it easy to follow. Worked up in less than an evening. Love how you color coded the steps. I didn't watch the video, because I understood what you meant by working in the back loops, but I did have a difficult time getting my hook into those back loops. Any advice? Also, the only suggestion I would make would be to make sure you do the slip stitch very loosly. Too tight and you loose a lot of the stretchiness of the hat. Took that row out and redid it. Thanks for a great pattern!
Awesome pattern! Easy to follow and the cutest booties I have ever made!Thanks so much for creating the pattern!!!
Aww! Sooooooo cute!
This lady's patterns are awesome! Very easy to understand and fun to make.
Best patterns ever!!!

Cancer.gov Update
Online Course for Health Professionals on Clinical Trials
A new interactive, online course for health professionals, Including Clinical Trials in Your Practice, is now available from NCI. This free tutorial emphasizes the importance of clinical trials, discusses challenges clinical trial investigators face, and offers solutions to those challenges. The narrated tutorial includes eight different modules, case studies, and interactive exercises that address:
- Becoming an investigator
- Initial site preparation
- Choosing the trial(s)
- Building and training the research team
- Handling site logistics
- Recruiting and enrolling participants
- Working with referring clinicians
- Ensuring data integrity
With this course, oncologists will understand the process and steps involved in including NCI-sponsored clinical trials in their practice. Oncology practices, for instance, may likely find some of the modules helpful for determining whether clinical trials are a good fit for their practice. Other modules offer a better understanding of how to recruit, enroll, and retain patients in a trial. This course can also serve as an orientation or a refresher for oncology staff on best practices for including clinical trials in their practice.

An Invitation to Membership
The Society's mission is to further scholarly learning and interest in the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) and its predecessor companies by stimulating and encouraging the collecting, researching, recording and preserving of all technical, historical and practical information concerning the PRR and to make this information available to interested persons. And to further the accurate modeling of the PRR so that future generations may better appreciate and understand the company.
The Keystone
The Society's quarterly illustrated journal, The Keystone, has been published continuously since 1968. Each issue of eighty-plus pages contains illustrated original authoritative articles, written and contributed, primarily by PRRT&HS members. Subject matters include: locomotives, cars, facilities and operating practices of the Pennsylvania Railroad. In addition, The Keystone contains regular features such as the "Information Exchange" (members' questions and answers regarding the PRR), "The Pennsylvania News," current news items of interest to PRR enthusiasts as well as reviews of, books and videos. Besides dozens of fascinating black and white photographs, color photographs are used in the publication, especially on the front and back covers. Periodic announcements are made in The Keystone concerning the availability of PRR-related items for sale or trade. Members are encouraged to submit their own articles, photos or slides for possible publication in The Keystone. All submitted materials are returned to their owners.
You can view the cover and table of contents of latest four editions of The Keystone at: "The Keystone"
In addition to The Keystone, the Society periodically markets thoroughly researched books and other materials concerning the history, equipment and operations of the PRR.

Other items such as, maps, equipment diagrams and plans, and Color Drift cards are also available from the Society at: The Interchange .
The PRRT&HS meets annually, usually during the first weekend in May, providing an opportunity for members from various parts of the country to get together. Activities include, field trips, illustrated talks/lectures on various aspects of the PRR, general discussion sessions, movies, and slides of the Pennsy. During this annual meeting election of Directors is held and the President gives the "State of the Society" message. Meetings are held at various sites to encourage maximum participation. A list of our planned annual meetings is located at: Upcoming Events
Local Chapters
Local chapters around the country provide members and invited guests with regular meetings that feature PRR-related programs, local excursions as well as social and professional contacts.

Happenings of the local chapters are also listed in the monthly Keystone e-NEWS. A list of local chapters is located at: PRRT&HS Chapter Links
Station and Archive
The archives are housed in the former PRR passenger station at Lewistown, PA, which was built in 1849 and is currently owned by the PRRT&HS. Restoration of the station is complete and work is now underway cataloging and organizing the thousands of PRR documents that are on-hand. When completed, this facility will serve as a research library for members and others. The Society also operates a small portion of the station for the remaining Amtrak trains that serve Lewistown.
Classes of membership are listed on the application form. In addition to Regular membership, Sustaining, Contributing and Keystone memberships are available for those wishing to make an additional monetary contribution to the Society to help further its goals.

NEW YORK (Legal Newsline) – New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman announced a $250,000 settlement on Wednesday with a Manhattan-based child foster care services provider for allegedly billing Medicaid inappropriately.
New York Foundling Hospital allegedly billed Medicaid for the care of children while they were absent from the program. Medicaid regulations require that child foster care providers only bill for the care of children while they are physically present at the program.
"Taxpayer money spent on New York's most vulnerable kids must be safeguarded – not wasted," Schneiderman said. "My office will remain vigilant to ensure that providers bill Medicaid for services that are actually rendered and that funds meant to help our neediest kids are spent to care for them."
Schneiderman's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit alleged that New York Foundling overbilled Medicaid in multiple ways between 2004 and 2010. New York Foundling allegedly billed for kids before they were admitted to New York Foundling, after they were discharged from the program, when they were absent from the program longer than the allowable 21 days per year and while they were in legal detention.
Under the terms of the agreement, New York Foundling will pay back $170,775, plus an added $85,387 in penalties for alleged New York State False Claims Act violations. The total settlement amount is $256,162.
As part of an ongoing review of child foster care services providers, Schneiderman's office recovered $3.8 million in Medicaid funds from more than 65 facilities.

Funeral Aug. 10 for longtime Yamhill police chief
Aug 1, 2013
By Starla Pointer
Of the News-Register
YAMHILL -- Longtime police Chief Gordon Rise died of natural causes early this morning at his home. He was 64.
Services will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 10, in the Yamhill-Carlton High School gym under the direction of Macy & Son.
Mayor Paula Terp has appointed Greg Graven, another longtime Yamhill police officer, as the interim chief.
Terp said she and other residents are shocked and saddened to lose Rise.
"He's been a great chief for a small town. He was always there to help, always very willing, " she said. "We're going to miss him."
In honor of Rise, Yamhill City Hall will lower its flag to half staff through Sunday.
His 26 year tenure as Yamhill's police chief was by far the longest run of any local police chief and one of the longest in the state.
Terp said people had often kidded Rise about his reluctance to retire or even take a vacation. But in recent months, she said, he had finally started talking about retiring.
Many friends and Yamhill residents took to Facebook to mourn Rise. Law enforcement officials also noted his death.
Yamhill County Sheriff Jack Crabtree said he has worked with Rise for nearly three decades. "I will for sure miss him," Crabtree said. "The citizens of Yamhill will certainly feel a huge loss with his passing."
The sheriff added that the YCSO will "do whatever we can to assist the family during this time of loss."

Agriculture remains the backbone of most Asia-Pacific developing economies and approximately 50% of the Asian working population is employed in the agricultural sector. In view of the export potential of agricultural products in the region, it is urgent to reduce trade costs in this sector, particularly since they are typically twice as high as those for manufactured goods. Agricultural trade costs within each of the different Asian subregions and country groups are not found to differ sharply, particularly when tariff costs are excluded.
Governments of the ESCAP region gathered in Incheon, Republic of Korea, from 29 October to 2 November 2012 to chart the course of the new Asian and Pacific Decade of Persons with Disabilities for the period 2013 to 2022. They were joined by representatives of civil society organizations, including organizations of and for persons with disabilities. Also in attendance were representatives of intergovernmental organizations, development cooperation agencies and the United Nations system.
This publication was prepared by national experts and professionals from countries in North and Central Asia to provide data and information of natural disasters - mainly water-related hazards in the region. It illustrates information of risk management and cooperation among countries to increase capacity in disaster risk reduction in the disasters-prone region.
Gender and Development Discussion Paper Series No. 21
Harmful Traditional Practices in Three Countries of South Asia: culture, human rights and violence against women.
This publication on Disability, Livelihood and Poverty in Asia and the Pacific is an executive summary that draws from a wider body of primary and secondary research undertaken by the ESCAP research team. It considers both the quantitative and qualitative dimensions which shape the livelihood experiences of persons with disabilities. The primary research is derived from collaboration between ESCAP and its national research partners: disabled people's organizations (DPOs) and organizations for the empowerment of persons with disabilities.
The Disability at a Glance series, which started in 2006, serves as a companion for policymakers, statisticians and representatives of organizations of, and for, persons with disabilities in Asia and the Pacific. These publications aim to provide a regional overview of disability policies and practices, as well as relevant country data and information.
Extreme weather events and water-related disasters are occurring in Central Asia with increasing frequency. This publication provides an overview of water-related hazards and extreme weather events, their socio-economic effects, and related disaster risk management practices in countries of Central Asia and neighbouring countries. It outlines relevant subregional and regional cooperative mechanisms and initiatives that address these hazards in various range of aspects.
This paper analyses the growth-structural change-poverty linkages within the framework ofthe New Structural Economics using Indian data for the period since 1951-52. It finds that theIndian economy has recorded substantial improvement in its GDP growth performance over the past three decades with average rates of growth going up and fluctuations coming down. .The growth of the economy has been accompanied by a changing sectoral distribution of GDP towards high productivity sectors in particular services.
South and South-West Asia remains one of the fastest growing subregions in the world, even though its economic growth has slowed down in 2012 due to a deteriorating global economic environment. Although the subregion continues to push the world's economic centre of gravity to the East, as India is on track to become the world's second largest economy by 2050, it faces many challenges to making the development process more inclusive and sustainable.
The ESCAP/UNISDR Asia-Pacific Disaster Report 2012, Reducing Vulnerability and Exposure to Disasters provides an analysis of the impact of disasters on Asian and Pacific countries between 1970 to 2011, and discusses the twin challenge faced by the region of increasing exposure of its people and economic assets, and heightened vulnerabilities experienced by the poor and other disadvantaged groups to disasters. Pressures resulting from rapid urban development and economic growth has resulted in people and economic activities expanding into increasingly exposed and hazard-prone land.

BALTIMORE, Md. - Twenty-three-year-old Tayvon Dobson of Cambridge will spend 28 years in prison with no chance of parole. The sentence was handed down Thursday after he pleaded guilty in August to attempted murder of a federal officer and using a gun during attempted murder.
"It happened February 29, 2012. I'll never forget it," Wicomico County Sheriff Mike Lewis said. Dobson was arrested on that day after he shot Wicomico County Deputy Thomas Funk during a shootout with police officers and U.S. marshals. The four-hour standoff began when the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task force went to a home on Hubbard Street to arrest Dobson on multiple warrants.
"He not only shot Deputy Funk, he attempted to assassinate Deputy Funk and he shot at several other task force officers and U.S. marshals," Sheriff Lewis said. Police say the rooms inside the home were riddled with bullet holes.
Last year WMDT spoke with Dobson's mother who said she was saddened by the incident.
"The only encouraging words I would tell my son is be strong and look on the inside of his heart and find God," she said. Something he'll have nearly three decades to think about behind bars.
The officer who was shot was back to work a few weeks after the incident. He received a Medal of Valor and the Purple Heart award in March. Dobson will be on supervised release for five years after he serves his jail time. There is no parole in the federal system, however Dobson could get a small reduction for good time. But the U.S. Attorney's office says he's going to be serving most of his 28 year sentence.

All About: Real Linoleum Flooring
Kitchen Flooring Spotlight
If you've already renovated a kitchen or are just beginning the process, you know how overwhelming the details can be. Our Fittings and Material Spotlights are quick guides to basic kitchen fixtures and materials to familiarize you with terminology, pros and cons, and relevant reader reviews. Today we look at linoleum flooring - that is, real linseed linoleum flooring, not the cheap vinyl sheets that are often called linoleum. Do you know there's a difference? Learn more below:
Material: Linoleum
Overview: Real linoleum is an all-natural flooring option made of linseed oil, cork dust, wood flour, tree resins, ground limestone and pigments, all pressed onto a jute backing. It's long-lasting, easy to clean, and often contains recycled content.
Not To Be Confused With: Sheet vinyl. The word "linoleum" is often used incorrectly to describe any kind of sheet flooring, like PVC-based sheet vinyl, which is a very different product and without any of the eco-friendly, durable qualities of traditional linoleum.
Brands: Forbo Marmoleum, Nova Linoleum
Environmental Impact: Traditional linoleum is biodegradable, non-toxic, and formaldehyde-free, so it won't off-gas noxious chemicals into your home.
Pros: Durable, naturally anti-static and anti-microbial, over 120+ colors and designs to choose from, non-toxic, biodegradable, made from renewable resources, easy to install and maintain, colors deepen and patinas get richer when exposed to sunlight.
Cons: Somewhat porous and susceptible to acids.
Installation: Very DIY-able. Typically sold in sheets or individual tiles, which easily click together when installed over a smooth, flat subfloor.
Price range: $4.40 - $6.50 per square foot
Kitchn Reader Reviews:
We have Marmoleum, which I love - it's eco-friendly, easy to clean and comes in much better colors than the old 70's linoleum patterns. - Sisterrae
SO thrilled to see Marmoleum (linoleum) flooring installed and getting amazing comments. Too often, the hideous vinyl flooring a lot of us grew up with in our parents' kitchens is wrongly pegged as "linoleum" giving it a really bad name. Linoleum is a natural product created from linseed, has an amazingly long lifespan, and great for use in high-traffic areas. I worked on the interior design of the renovated Pasadena City Hall and some of the restrooms had the ORIGINAL linoleum that had been installed in the '20s - in amazing shape with the most beautiful patina. - Dunbar72
Real linoleum here and I'm happy with it. I was going to tile for a color change and going "upscale" but then I got to like the easy to clean (no seams or grout lines) aspect and learned to like the colors (not that bad really, brown/tan/orange). And the fact that it was eco friendly when installed pre-1955 and is eco friendly by still being in good condition is a bonus. - Faith BCK
Readers, do you have real linoleum flooring, either vintage or else made by Marmoleum or another authentic linoleum brand?

Thank you for covering this, I feel like this is a big misnomer and linoleum is actually a lovely flooring choice.
Yeah, great post! A few months ago I was doing some internet research on green flooring options and was surprised to come across linoleum. It's a pretty amazing material (another example of how our grandparents were more "green"), and now I can't wait to someday put it in my dream kitchen.
We have Marmoleum and love it. It totally fits the era of our house, has a lovely matte glow; it's kind to dropped plates and has a nice give under the feet (big advantages over tile, in my opinion), and though we've had it 8 years it looks brand new. Wears like iron, just as advertised -- we have an excitable black lab whose claws have wrecked our wood floors, but not the linoleum!
@PLEIOVN, I think it's just because most people mistake linoleum for vinyl (as I did myself for a long time).
I love this option for my kitchen - it's a mid-30s house that we're working on room by room. Thanks for the reminder!
we are installing forbo marmoleum next month. the sample looks great and i cannot wait to see it in place.
Pretty sure we have linoleum in our kitchen (house built in 1947 and has not been upgraded much since then). The floor is impossible to keep clean - it is beige with a dull finish and does not stay clean for more than a day.
Is it possible to wax linoleum floors using a household floor wax? We rent, so we are not able to completely refinish the floors, but if there's some way to keep the floor from getting dirty so quickly, I'd love to hear it.
Interesting, I had no idea! I really like the options at Forbo. I thought ugly big box store sheet vinyl was going to be my only option for a future kitchen reno.
We have almond and sunny yellow Marmoleum checker laid on the diagonal in our kitchen. We installed it ourselves about two years ago, we are very pleased. Still looks perfect except for the gouge from our son falling off a stool and taking a heavy stainless steel burner cover down with him. The Marmoleum folks said to mix Marmoleum sandings with white glue and fill the gouge with that, haven't tried yet, though.
It is so easy to wipe up and soft on the feet/dropped dishes, would do it again in a heartbeat. Install was a little tricky, it would be hard for a complete novice to make it look professional. However, if you know a little bit about tools and are aware of how to undercut door jambs and trim it out for a nice appearance, then it will turn out great!
The kitchen of our 1942 house had linoleum tile put in a around 2000. White with black accent areas. I can't really call it white because it won't stay clean! We had it professionally cleaned before moving in in 2004, but aren't going to empty the kitchen to reseal it.
That floor is raised about 1/2" from the dining room. We're thinking about removing it and seeing if the oak floors continue into the kitchen. If they do and are in good shape, we'll stick with that. If not, some nice hex tile would be perfect in there. Keeping the cabinets no matter what, they were built with the house and have few sharp corners--all rounded, like streamline moderne, but not exaggeratedly so.

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - A Milwaukee man faces nine federal charges, for trying to sell expensive jewelry and artwork that former business executive Sue Sachdeva bought with money she embezzled.
Tony Chakonas was indicted this week by a federal grand jury on charges of mail and wire fraud, and transporting stolen goods across state lines.
In 2011, Chakonas and another man were charged with trying to sell the Sachdeva jewelry at an auction house in Chicago. Those charges were dropped.
The new charges allege that Chakonas transported 17 pieces of Asian artwork and 14 jewelry items on two separate occasions since 2009 – and the auction house paid him $20,000.
Sachdeva was sent to federal prison for 11 years after she embezzled $34 million from Milwaukee's Koss Corporation. Authorities said she failed to list all of her assets as required in a plea agreement – and a jewelry store where Chakonas worked had held onto 11 jewelry items she bought worth almost a quarter-million dollars.
Last year, Sachdeva associate Adam Bruback was sentenced to six months in prison, after he admitted stealing items that Sachdeva bought with the stolen money. The government tried to sell as many of those items as possible, to help Koss recover the money it lost.

Too bad we still can't an airline to fly our pups in cabin from LAX to Hawaii! :((
Over the past 9 years, our small dog has flown with us internationally as an in-cabin pet. Over the years we've used Continental (most frequently), Delta, and American. Continental has been fine. Delta agents and flight attendants seemed to take a real interest. We had a terrible experience with American several years ago and haven't flown with them since. None of the carriers mentioned above fly to our destinations, but I'd certainly like to give them a try sometime.

I agree. I would totally use Pet Airways or JetBlue if they flew to Hawaii. I hate having to fly with my dog, but we're being reassigned to Hawaii and the are just no options. :(
