Jagannath Temple in Ranchi was built by king of Barkagarh Jagannathpur Thakur Ani Nath Shahdeo, during 1691. It was completed on 25 December 1691. It is located about 10 km from the main town, the temple is on top of a small hillock near to a place called Firayalal chowk (The temple is not located near Firayalal Chowk) or (Albert Ekka chowk) in Ranchi. Similar to the famous Jagannath Temple in Puri, Orissa, this temple is built in the same architectural style, although smaller. And similar to the Rath Yatra in Puri, an annual fair cum rath yatra is held at this temple in the month of Aashaadha, attracting thousands of tribal and non-tribal devotees not only from Ranchi but also from neighbouring villages and towns and is celebrated with much pomp and vigor.
The temple has been built on a hill top. To reach the top visitors can climb the stairs or take the vehicle route. There are many steps and the climber needs to rest intermittently before resuming. People also take the vehicle route leading directly to the top. To facilitate the arduous climb to the top the management of the temple have made provisions for fresh water and the shade of a huge tree that many tourists generally make use of once they reach the top. The view of the city from the top is breathtaking. The temple collapsed on 6 August 1990. With the active participation of the then State Government of Bihar, and some devoted patrons the reconstruction of the temple started on 8th February 1992 and has now been fully restored. The temple has regained back its former glory. And devotees and ardent worshippers make a beeline to the temple every year.

a history of solar cooking
for most of human existence, the cooking of food was unknown. people ate food in the condition in which they found it. then humans found that fire could be controlled and used to cook food. fire is essentially solar power stored in the form of wood. if we look at it this way, solar was the first method of cooking on earth.

WASHINGTON D.C. (WTAQ) - According to the latest government estimates released Tuesday, Wisconsin's personal net earnings have rebounded — but at an average annual rate that lags that of the nation and most of its Great Lakes peers.
Personal net income in the Badger State rose at an average annual rate of 3.2 percent starting from a base in 2009, the year that national wages bottomed out after the financial crisis on Wall Street threw the global economy into a tailspin.
That's according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.
Wisconsin's income growth ranked the state at No. 35 out of 50.

The laughable debate about the USA national debt.... Part one
(First of all I have to apologize for my poor English but I'm from Europe
I decided to join the TED family, I saw a lot of interesting videos on Wimp.com so I started to visit the TED web site and I find fascinating.
Long time ago I had search on the web about the enormous debt in America, and I would like to share a few thoughts about the subject.
I watched soooooo many CNN, FOX, MSNBC debates, reports, comments, and find absolutely shocking the fact, NOBODY talk about the real reason why we are in debt. As a matter affect why is the whole World in debt? Is that normal as soon as an average citizen enter in to the school or work area they are in debt in they rest in they life. Mortgage, student loan, car loan, business loan, appliances, medical bills, EVERYTHING.
" To order, have your credit card ready it's sooo easy…."
" You can earn double miles on this card,
" Save 1% on this, 2% on that, 3% on whatever..
Currently amounts to a total credit card debt of about 962 billion dollars. The average credit card debt per credit card owning household is 14,750 dollars. This is the total credit card debt divided by the number of households with credit cards. Credit card penalty fees in the US add up to about 20.5 billion dollars a year.
Approximately 609.8 million credit cards are currently in use in the United States, with credit card users having an average of 3.5 cards each. There are about 176.8 million credit card users in the US. Every year, about 5 billion credit card solicitations are mailed in the USA.
Students are particularly likely to have credit card debts and they are also likely to have multiple credit cards. The average credit card debt of a new graduate is 4100 dollars, with about 20 percent of graduates having credit card debts of more than 7000 dollars.
Most of us in debt, in the rest of our life.

Jan 9 2013: Dear George! Please read all my replays and you will see the whole article
Part five:Executive Order Of The President of The United States, March 9, 1933. US confiscated the nation's Gold. In exchange for $20.67/ounce. It was over 8000 Tones. Kept in Fort Knox. Some say it's not there anymore.
Quote: There is no gold at Fort Knox. When Ronald Regan was President he assigned a committee called the "Gold Committee" to investigate this matter. The results was staggering. There is no gold at Fort Knox. It is being held by the Federal Reserve Bank (which is privately owned by international bankers) as collateral for America's debt. This explains why there has been no audits of Fort Knox. THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AND THE INTERNATIONAL BANKERS DO NOT WANT THE AMERICAN PUBLIC TO KNOW THIS.
Question: want to know where is it? Watch on YouTube: Money Masters.
Well finally I hope I didn't disturb too much you guys. But I would like to get answers. Maybe your answers will be better, more correct.
Let's the talks begin!!
and sooo much more…..

As every winter evening falls,
in a sheer cloak, thin as a shade,
a herald of ice dreams calls
and starts to lead a parade.
The winter spirit plays
with his bitter ice whiff.
And freezes the old way
into a picture, icily stiff.
Bells of an old Cathedral
cleave the deafness on the street.
Dancing in a big ice hall,
pellucid butterflies compete.
They slide on the ice
of a frozen looking-glass,
telling stories to entice,
drawing a carnival mask.
It lulls to sleep the eyes,
watching through it's face
and holds them very tight
into an everlasting embrace.

Like Icarus, earnings estimates are flying too high
Despite signs of slowing, analysts seem to assume earnings can go up forever.
In Greek mythology, Icarus failed in his attempt to escape the island of Crete because he succumbed to hubris and didn't heed his father's advice.
Icarus' father repeatedly warned that the wings he had built were made of only wax and feathers and would melt if the youth attempted to fly too close to the sun with them.
The story ends with Icarus falling to his death. He got caught up in the euphoria of flying and made the mistake of becoming overly ambitious in his escape.
Perhaps we too should take a step back from our giddiness when it comes to 2013 earnings that may also still be flying too high.
Bottoms up earnings
Earnings season for 4Q 2012 is in full swing with 78% of constituents reporting and a few of the larger retail ones still remaining.
On Feb. 27 Target (TGT) reports and on Feb. 21 are Hewlett Packard (HPQ) and Wal-Mart (WMT). March wraps up with some more large retailers like Costco (COST) and Staples (SPLS).
The top down earnings
S&P 500's (SPY) reported earnings for 2012 are expected to reach a new all-time high at $88/share. For comparison, 2011's reported earnings were $87/share and 2Q 2007 trailing (the previous stock market peak) was $85/share.
By the end of 2013, analysts are expecting earnings to grow 15% to another all-time high of a reported $101/share. Below are the latest S&P earnings for the past year and next year's reported estimates in columns 1 and 2, annual growth rates in column 3, and a comparison of today's estimates with the ones that were estimated back in October in columns 4 to 6 (when I wrote another article on the lofty earnings found here). Since then earnings estimates have come down, but is it enough?
It seems analysts and companies are all expecting continued earnings growth into next year as the above S&P data supports. But very few seem to be concerned that earnings growth continues to be ratcheted down and pushed out as the latest headline from Forbes identifies, but doesn't comment on" "S&P 500 Revenue and EPS Estimates Ratchet Down After January Results."
After the dust has settled, full-year 2012 earnings barely grew at all (estimated now to be only 1.2% over 2011), but 2013 full-year earnings are still expected to grow even more than 2011's impressive 12.4%. Even more, margins are now starting to fall for the first time since 2009 (more on that below).
All four of the latest earnings quarters have been clawed back, some significantly, yet 4Q 2013 remains unscathed and elevated as companies are unwilling (so far) to come off of full-year guidance, adding up to a 15% year-over-year growth.
On Oct. 9, 2012 with the S&P at 1,450 we first identified earnings estimates as being too lofty.
Those estimates indeed have fallen and we were able to take advantage of the market's technical decline into November in our Technical Forecast published Oct. 10: "If price continues to fall from its high today below both the medium term uptrend channel that connects July, Sept, and now Oct lows as well as 1,450, then shorts can be opened up with the assumption that 1,430 will be visited again." And it was, as was 1,374, where we took short profits.
What's that you say about margins?
Like Icarus, analysts it seems are assuming earnings can go up forever into perpetuity. But in reality, S&P earnings (SPY) are cyclical and are now starting to slow. They rise and fall over time based on normal macro cycles.
There is easy justification for this cyclicality. When earnings rise, so do margins. When margins rise, competition steps in as barriers to entry are able to be overcome. Competition then puts pressure on pricing. This lowers margins and eventually earnings. If there is any doubt to this economic fact, just research the Android (GOOG) versus Apple (AAPL) situation unfolding.
Margin peaks: a few examples
Operating earnings margins peaked in the June 2012 quarter at 9.2%, where they also were in the December 2011 and March 2012 quarters. Now, margins have also started to decline down to only 9.0% in the September 2012 quarter. It remains to be seen, but it wouldn't be surprising given the recent earnings cuts that the December 2012 quarter will be below 9%, setting up a trend of now falling margins.
The same thing happened in 2007 near the previous market peak (IVV). Margins hit 9% in the September 2006 quarter and remained topped out between that level and 9.3% for the next year. Then in the September 2007 quarter margins declined to 8.9% and kept falling from there.
The below chart from Deutsche Bank outlines the historical cyclical nature of margins. Earnings margins have risen and fallen throughout history, they have hardly been linear, and this is perfectly normal.
I am not one to assume "this time it's different" and am very cautious that earnings and margins at these elevated levels are not sustainable. We have already started to see the cracks forming in earnings, with only 1.2% expected growth over 2011 as well as the first decline in margin rates since 2009.
A continued deterioration of margins would certainly bring down full-year 2013 estimates.
Icarus flew too high, earnings too
Given the market is at 30-year margin highs (matched only at the peak in 2007), competitors are currently stepping in, lowering prices, pressuring margins, and resulting in lower earnings estimates (see Apple).
Looking at the above chart, not only do we see the cyclicality of earnings margins but we also see that margins are higher than they have ever been since the early 80's when the data begins. Margins at over 8% are a reason to be earnings cautious, earnings over 9%, those are left for Icarus.
More from Minyanville
"Looking at the above chart, not only do we see the cyclicality of earnings margins but we also see that margins are higher than they have ever been since the early 80's when the data begins."
Looks to me like Wall Street mythology about not fighting the FED is real in both of your charts.

Kaleb and Carson's WaterBirth Stories
Kaleb was due October 4, 1997. On October 1, 1997, I had my weekly check-up with my midwife at 9:30 am. After being checked, I was still at 2cm and 60% effaced (the same for the last two weeks). When I was checked, my midwife stripped my membranes. I went home, took a nap and woke up with a slight discomfort. This was about 1:30pm. After about an hour of this, I decided to start timing them. Nothing regular about them, anywhere from one minute to ten minutes apart and 30 to 45 seconds long. I called Sue, my midwife, to let her know it had started. In the meantime I kept trying to get a hold of my finance a work, but he wasn't returning my pages. Bob finally returned home and we decided to leave for the birthing center. We arrived there about 9:30pm. I was at 3cm and 90% effaced. We walked and did everything to get labor going, but after a sleepless night I was stuck at 4cm. We decided to go home and try to get some rest. At about 7:30 pm the next night we decided to go to the hospital, where my midwife was delivering a baby, to be checked. I felt like I couldn't take it anymore. I was exhausted. I was at 5cm and still 90% effaced. They gave me some sleeping pills and we went home. Sue said I would probably be calling her around 2 or 3 a.m. to let her know it was finally time. Well, the sleeping pills did not work at all and by 3am we were calling Sue. The birthing center was an hour away, but we made it there by 3:30 am. Finally we were getting somewhere. I was 7cm and 100% effaced. Sue broke my water and labor really came on then. I got into the tub and for the next couple of hours, I was in and out of the tub trying to get comfortable. The tub was much more comfortable, just hot. Finally after 45 minutes of pushing Kaleb Michael was born at 8:57 a.m. He was 8lbs 4oz and 20 3/4 in. After 42 hours of labor, he was more than worth it.
Twenty months later we were back again. Carson was due May 29, 1999. On May 26, 1999, I had a weekly check-up at 4:30pm. Sue had stripped my membranes the week before and I had contractions on and off, but nothing ever came of them. I was at 4 cm and 50% effaced this week. The prior week I was 3cm and 50%effaced. I went home and by 6:30 p.m. I was feeling contractions. I knew this time it would be a while though, so I just got things cleaned up around the house, gave Kaleb a bath and cooked dinner. We just went on with the nightly rituals. I woke up about every two hours that night and Bob decided to take that next day off. I have a daycare in my home and I decided to go a head and take kids. My mothers thought I was crazy! This time I felt like I was in more control of my body and new what to expect. I called Sue to let her know it was time, but that it would still be a couple of hours. Finally at 9:30 p.m., we arrived at the birthing center. I was 5cm and 100% effaced. His head wasn't engaged though, so I squatted through my contractions. An hour later I was at 7cm, Sue broke my water and I got into the tub. After 13 minutes of pushing Carson Alan was born at 1:24 a.m. He was 7lbs 12oz and 19 1/2 in.
I had completely natural labors and long ones. I would never use any type of drugs and I encourage everyone to try it naturally. It is the most wonderful feeling. My labors were 42 and 30 1/2 hours long with good size babies. Carson is almost a year old already. He is still nursing and I don't think I will be weaning him anytime soon. He is still very dependent on me. Besides, Bob says we are finished and I am not ready to break that bond. Kaleb weaned himself at 10 1/2 months and I am so thankful Carson is a mama's boy!

Even before our DIY-obsessed modern world, women had figured out ways to stretch their wardrobe items. Case in point: 18th century shoe clips. With a small clip-on embellishment, one pair of shoes now had two looks. Fast forward to present day- Emilio Pucci's fall 2012 shoes are reminiscent of the style. With an oversized pair of clip-on earrings you can have similar shoe clips of your own. Read on to find out more.
You might be thinking- why not just clip the earrings onto your shoes and call it a day? While that is certainly one way to go, we like a little extra comfort and a little more DIY. That said, to make our clips we fashioned little felt socks so that they didn't scratch against the top of our foot.
(Here we used blue felt and red thread so that you could see our stitching process but it might be more efficient to use a neutral color felt (black or brown) with matching thread.)
Cut two strips of felt about .75" wide by 2" long.
For both pieces, fold the felt in half long ways and stitch the sides together, leaving an opening at the top for the clip to fit into.
Slip the clip into the sock and attach it to your shoe.
Voila! Time to take your new dancing shoes out for a spin!
NOTE: You can also use a hot glue gun to glue your strip of felt onto the clip of your earring but we prefer the sock method so that your earrings can work double-duty as clips and earrings with simple removal of the felt.

The recession is over, two Georgia economists declared yesterday. But you're not going to relish the recovery.
"The recession ended in July and the recovery began this month," Jeffrey Humphreys, director of economic forecasting at the University of Georgia's business school, said Thursday at a real estate symposium, AJC reporter Gertha Coffee writes.
Roger Tutterow, professor of economics at Mercer University, agreed with Humphreys that the recession — which started in December 2007 — has ended. But he expects "several more months or even quarters of sluggish performance."
In fact, unemployment will rise.
Humphreys forecasts 3 percent growth for the third quarter of 2009, dropping to 1.5 percent in the fourth quarter. The first quarter of next year will also post sluggish growth.
"Then, we will see acceleration when job growth picks up," he said.
The financial problems were so serious that a quick recovery is just not in the cards.

Robinson Jeffers: Selected Poemsby Robinson Jeffers
Staff Pick
I foist this little book on folks every chance I get. Anyone who is concerned with the fate of both the natural world and of a humanity hell-bent on destroying it needs an introduction to Jeffers.
"In May of 1989 I worked at the late, lamented Olsson's Books and Records in Washington, DC. Being a bona fide poetry lover, I leapt at the opportunity of engaging with a poet I'd never read before. In fact, I'd never heard of the guy. How was I to know that it would end up being a life-changing experience?
The poet was Robinson Jeffers, and the book was Robinson Jeffers: Selected Poems, a small volume published by Vintage. I was swept off my feet. Jeffers was a voice I'd never imagined: powerful, visionary, rhythmic, singing of eternal verities, and turning a merciless eye to the comings and goings and self-important bombast of humankind." Chris Faatz, Powells.com (Read the entire Powells.com review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Robinson Jeffers died in 1962 at the age of 75, ending one of the most controversial poetic careers of this century. The son of a theology professor at Western Seminary in Pittsburgh, Jeffers was taught Greek, Latin, and Hebrew as a boy, and spent three years in Germany and Switzerland before entering the University of Western Pennsylvania (now Pittsburgh) at 15. His education continued on the West Coast after his parents moved there, and he received a B.A. from Occidental College at 18. His interest in forestry, medicine, and general science led him to pursue his studies at the University of Southern California, and the University of Zurich.
The poems in this volume have been selected from his major works, among them Be Angry at the Sun, Hungerfield, The Double Axe, Roan Stallion, Tamar and Other Poems, as well as The Beginning and the End, which contains his last poems.
From "The Purse-Seine":
I thought, We have geared the machines and locked all together into interdependence; we have built the great cities; now There is no escape. We have gathered vast populations incapable of free survival, insulated From the strong earth, each person in himself helpless, on all dependent. The circle is closed, and the net Is being hauled in. They hardly feel the cords drawing, yet they shine already. The inevitable mass-disasters Will not come in our time nor in our children's, but we and our children Must watch the net draw narrower, government take all powers — or revolution, and the new government Take more than all, add to kept bodies kept souls — or anarchy, the mass disasters.

How else can you explain the decision by an insurance company like Aon to spend $30 million a year over the next four years to sponsor the Manchester United football (soccer to us Americans) team? According to the CMO of Aon, Phil Clement, Man U claims some 333 million fans worldwide. You gotta figure that somewhere in that group is a prospective client, right? What better way to put your brand on the map than to put it on the jersey of the most well-known sports team on the planet?
So you get the point. While sports marketing has been around forever it has been evolving along with the rest of marketing and has gotten to the point of being much more than just a billboard in a stadium.
One of the biggest proponents of this change is Pat Coyle of Coyle Media. I have interviewed Pat in the past here at Marketing Pilgrim.
He has worked with the Indianapolis Colts to develop MyColts.net and much more. He has also created the Sports Marketing 2.0 group which is a community of sports marketing professionals and those looking to learn more about this important marketing option.

... to be self-evident: that most people believe themselves to be professionally ethical, and that will act accordingly when faced with an ethical dilemma.
Yet, we see evidence to the contrary every day in both business and personal matters. That's why it's important to define a set of norms for people to follow, something PRSA recognized decades ago when it developed the earliest versions of a Code of Ethics for PR professionals.
PRSA led the way in defining a set of standards for professional communicators. A summary of the code's provisions appears below; more detailed information is available on the national website. If you have a serious concern in the conduct of business, or simply need clarification on any of these areas, please contact PRSA Boston's Ethics Officer.

(FOX 11 / CNS) Two greater-alarm residential fires this morning displaced 20 people and injured four, keeping Pasadena firefighters busy in the process, a spokeswoman said.
The first was at 1:30 a.m. in a 5,000-square-foot home on Rancheros Road at Linda Vista Avenue near the Rose Bowl, said Fire Department spokeswoman Linda Derderian.
Three adults got out of the house without injury and the blaze received a greater-alarm response because of the area's narrow roads and the size of the home, Derderian said. The damage to the structure was estimated at $100,000 and contents was $50,000, she said. The residents found their own accommodations and did not need the help of the American Red Cross.
The second fire was at 2:30 a.m. in a two-story fourplex in the 200 block of Penn Street, Derderian said.
Four people suffered minor injuries after jumping from a second-floor unit of the building and were transported to a hospital for treatment, she said. "They could not exit the stairwell due to heavy smoke and flames.''
All four units sustained smoke damage and at least two sustained fire damage, leaving 20 residents displaced and in need of the services of the Red Cross. That included two infants "Many residents escaped with the clothes off their back,'' Derderian said.
That fire was a greater-alarm due to the multiple units involved, she said.

Abuse should Never be tolerated... Only Eliminated
April has been designated is Sexual Abuse Awareness Month (SAAM). Highly Inspired is honored to have books available for one of it's acclaimed writers, SyD, who advocates for the prevention of Child Sexual Abuse. Syd's goal is to raise public awareness and to provide practical information to victims/survivors while educating communities and individuals on how to prevent sexual violence.
* * *
By working together with Highly Inspired Publishing and Syd, and pooling our resources during the month of April, we can highlight sexual violence as a major public health issue and reinforce the need for prevention efforts.
SyD has written two Children's Books,
"Always Tell a Grown Up"
"Don't Be Afraid To Shout No"
"I Can't Stop Now"
...is another book written by SyD. An autobiography which will grip you by the heart from the word... 'GO!'
Brace yourself...this true story will have you experiencing a roller coaster of emotions... tragedy, triumph, laughter, tears anger and love. the overwhelming sense of injustice is so surreal it will have you yelling out loud. This, once, happy household begins to come apart at the seams, where cracks soon appear in the family of Kenyha, the long awaited daughter. The sexual, emotional, mental betrayal and abuse this young girl experiences from those who are supposed to love, protect and nurture her is astonishing, yet her reilience and capacity to love triumphs. In the midst of all this she has some undeniable encounters with God that will challenge even the most hardened atheist! Throughout the long period of heart-wrenching abuses, Kenyha's family and neighbors did nothing to rescue her. It is truly a sad indictment on our society that abuses like these can go on right under out very noses. After reading the naked and raw account of Kenyha's life, ask yourself, "What would I do if I knew this was happening to someone?"

Layton police are looking for a teen suspected of trying to kidnap a 10-year-old girl while she walking home through a park.
At about 3:35 p.m. on Wednesday, the girl was walking through the park next to Adams Elementary School when a "high-school age" male came up behind her and grabbed her by her upper arms, according to the police. The attacker was wearing a dark ski mask and dark sunglasses.

|Post a Comment
She escaped his grasp, but he kicked and hit her as she got away, said Lt. Jason Hinojosa. The attacker was scared off when a vehicle drove by on a nearby street.
The girl went home and waited several hours before she told her family what happened. Her mother took the girl to Davis Hospital and Medical Center, where employees reported the incident to the police. They also found she had very minor bruises on her upper arms.
At this point, investigators have no leads besides a description of the attacker from the victim, Hinojosa said. He's described as having a thin build, is about 5-foot-7, has tan skin and was wearing a neon yellow long-sleeve shirt, light blue baggy denim jeans and red and white DC brand shoes.
Police are asking the public for help in finding him. Anyone with information is asked call the Layton Police Department at 801-497-8300.

25th Meeting of the Ramsar Standing Committee - Opening statements
|25th Meeting of the Ramsar Standing Committee
Gland, Switzerland, 23 - 27 October 2000
|Agenda items 2 and 4
Welcoming statements by the International Organization Partners
WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) International
Biksham Gujja
Dear Chairman, Standing Committee members, Partners and other observers.
On behalf of the WWF network I thank you for the opportunity to explain our contribution to the Ramsar process. Our common goal is to conserve the biodiversity of freshwater ecosystems and manage them wisely for the benefit of nature and people. WWF continues to make that commitment having supported the Ramsar Convention right from the start. Conservation of rivers, lakes, marshes and their catchment areas is an integral part of WWF's mission. Last year WWF spent between CHF 30-35 million on freshwater conservation projects in more than 70 countries. But this is just a 'drop in the ocean'. Conservation and wise management of wetlands and rivers is a major challenge and cannot be done by organisations or governments acting alone. Global effort is needed to save fast-declining freshwater ecosystems.
WWF's Living Planet Index clearly shows that, we are losing freshwater species (and thus ecosystems) much faster than terrestrial and marine species. This has serious implications for people as well as for biodiversity. It is already clear that the freshwater crisis is real, not only in developing countries but in rich countries as well. Indiscriminate use of water coupled with climate change is already causing serious economic, social and ecological damage. This year floods and droughts have caused devastating effects in many parts of the world. In India for example, drought and floods hit hard within a matter of months. As you are aware, the conservation of wetlands and freshwater biodiversity needs to be more widely recognised for its critical role in addressing these threats and supporting social and economic development. The Ramsar Convention must increasingly play a leading part in this.
Living Waters Campaign
As most of you know, WWF launched its 'Living Waters' Campaign in May 1999 during the Ramsar COP-7 in Costa Rica. The choice to launch it there was clear to us. The Ramsar Convention is the key global instrument that governments can use in conserving and using freshwater resources sustainably. The campaign has two specific targets related to the strategic plan of Ramsar. One is aligned with the current thinking of wetland conservation - conserving river ecosystems as part of catchment management approaches. Working with partners, we are making significant progress in integrating biodiversity thinking into the management of five large rivers – the Mekong, Orinoco, Vistula, Niger and Yangtze. The other is to secure over 25 million ha of wetlands that are newly committed for conservation and sustainable use. Our efforts focus on large-scale designations (at least 500,000 ha/country) of new wetlands of International importance mainly in Africa, Latin America and Asia. Projects undertaken so far in 14 countries cover a total of about 15 million ha of wetlands of, which close to 10 million ha have already been committed. Some of you have contributed significantly to this success. The campaign is looking way beyond large scale designations by planting seeds for the logical following steps- preparation of management plans and ultimately actual implementation of these in the field. Regarding site designations we would like to request the countries that pledged sites at COP7 (398 sites) to fulfil their commitment by COP8 (since so far only 30 sites have been designated).
Some recent highlights include:
- The 'Lake Chad Heads of State Summit' in July 2000- where member countries of the Lake Chad Basin committed to designate the entire lake as a transboundary Ramsar site ( 2.5 million ha)
- Danube Ministers establishing a 700,000 Ha 'Green Corridor' of wetlands and floodplains
- India, China and Cameroon committing more than 3 million Ha of protected wetlands on World Wetlands Day
- Colombia designating the Lake La Cocha and its "Paramo" (unique type of high altitude Andean wetland) in April 2000
These are your achievements. WWF is there to assist and in some cases provide financial support. Our Living Waters Campaign is only part of the total effort required. Major initiatives are needed at the regional, national and local levels. WWF is also active through its regional and national programmes.
Lower Danube Green Corridor: Commitments made on World Environment Day in June 2000 by the governments of Romania, Ukraine, Moldova and Bulgaria towards a "Lower Danube Green Corridor", representing the largest cross-border wetland protection and restoration initiative in Europe.
Transboundary Prespa Lakes Park: Commitments made by the governments of Greece, Albania and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) on World Wetlands Day, 2000 to form a transboundary Prespa Park in the Balkans to "maintain and protect the unique ecological values of the area through peaceful collaboration".
Doñana National Park : WWF played a major role in bringing the responsible authorities together which has led to significant improvements in the ecological restoration schemes in Doñana region in response to the toxic spill of 1998 and the impacts of agriculture and tourism.
Vistula and Odra Rivers. mobilisation of Polish NGOs and international pressure (including from the Ramsar Bureau and IUCN) to prevent the funding of further dams and river engineering schemes affecting the Vistula and Odra rivers in Poland and to secure funding options for the development of sustainable alternative.
Water Pricing in Europe: development position on water pricing policy as applied to the European region and inputs to the European Commission Communication on water pricing, ensuring that environmental and resource costs are addressed
WWF has also been involved in developing guidelines for sustainable waterways; identifying the best practices and policy/economic instruments needed to facilitate restoration of rivers and floodplains;development of a European wide "Water and Wetland Index" concerning government performance; and lobbying to gain EU commitments for regulations and actiona to prevent pollution from Metal mining.
In addition to the Lake Chad summit WWF is having several on the ground projects for conserving some of the most unique wetland ecosystems, for example:
- "Partners for Wetlands" initiative (Zambia)
- WWF-Madagascar involvement in preparing wetland strategy.
WWF- Australia was actively involved at having Lake Narran listed last year. However, the catchment area of this lake in Queensland has had an increase in water extraction, which is a major problem. WWF has been pressing the federal government to take firm action to encourage Queensland to reduce the water extractions. Possible suggestion is to have the site listed as a Montreux record site. WWF is also actively involved in the investigation on possible activation of Australia's new national legislation which specifies impacts on Ramsar sites.
WWF-India is closely working with Government of India to implement the pledge at COP-7 to include 25 more Ramsar sites.
As mentioned before, these are small efforts. The challenge is great. We are loosing some of the most interesting ecosystems faster than we are repairing others. WWF does have some serious concerns.
Listing of sites is not enough:
Listing wetlands as Ramsar sites is a starting point. Unfortunately too often there is no significant improvement after designation. Countries should invest and take more serious systematic measures at all levels to conserve and manage wetlands while using them wisely.
Montreux Record:
There are 59 sites on Montreux record. Some of them have been on the list since its creation. This is defeating the very purpose of creating the list. Only a few sites have so far been removed. SC needs to seriously take note of this and consider recommendations on how to deal with this situation.
For the Future:
As part of the 30th Anniversary of Ramsar WWF would like to:
- actively promote the designation of under-represented wetland types such as gueltas, oases, crater lakes, aquifers and high altitude weltands including paramos and glaciers.
- make a call to governments to help reaching a total 100 million Ha of actually designated Ramsar sites by COP-8. The "Living Waters" campaign will continue to support large scale designation towards this objective.
And also make the following suggestions to the CPs with support of the Bureau:
- Propose a timeframe to improve management of Montreux record sites and announce a target to remove at least half of these before COP-8.
- Undertake a major review of the status of Ramsar sites and propose specific suggestions to improve them.
Again I would like to thank you for this opportunity to address the SC. WWF will continue to be an active and interested partner that assists the Convention to reach our common goals.

PolitiFact checks out toll roads, chickens
Last week, PolitiFact Georgia did its fair share of cluck-clucking. Claims about a proposed immigration measure, a reading of the U.S. Constitution by the backer of a "birther" bill and a take on federal law about the U.S. Supreme Court all ruffled the Truth-O-Meter's feathers. We also updated the progress Gov. Nathan Deal made on his promise to end the Ga. 400 tolls and discerned whether a candidate for Gwinnett County chairman was a faux chicken farmer -- the accuser laid an egg on that one.

Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich Square off in Republican Debate

Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich was laughing. Not a politician's polite chuckle but a real laugh as a protester who had infiltrated the crowd at one of his rallies on Wednesday was escorted out.
Why Are There So Many Presidential Debates?
On The Radar
In the lore of the U.S. political system, debates are among the most hallowed of rituals. From Lincoln-Douglas on, they have been the moments when voters are supposed to have an opportunity to get to know their candidates, contrast their ideas, evaluate their mettle. But this campaign season, it might be fair to ask: Are Americans getting too much of a good thing?
Gingrich Wants to Hear his Debate Fans Roar
On The Radar
Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich, coming off one of his most subdued debate performances of the campaign, signaled on Tuesday he may skip future debates unless his supporters are given full license to clap, cheer and roar. Gingrich complained that NBC News moderator Brian Williams had told the crowd to be silent before Monday's debate in Tampa in an effort to stifle free speech and prevent the audience from turning on the media.

South Carolina went "Grandiose." Newt Gingrich, who embraced that word when it was used to describe him, won the Republican primary handily today with around 40 percent of the vote. Mitt Romney, who had been ahead by double digits in polls after the New Hampshire primary, received only 27 percent. Given Gingrich's overwhelming victory, it may be difficult for him to find a historical figure important enough to compare himself to.
Gingrich and Romney Trade Jabs as G.O.P. Race Rolls On

Mitt Romney, facing a restive Republican Party and a resurgent Newt Gingrich, opened a combative new phase of the presidential campaign on Monday and warned of the prospect of an "October surprise" if Mr. Gingrich emerged as the party's nominee.
Gingrich Wins Means Grueling GOP Fight
On The Radar
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has taken a giant step toward becoming the Republican alternative to Mitt Romney that tea partyers and social conservatives have been seeking for months. Gingrich's come-from-behind victory Saturday in the South Carolina primary snatched away the quick and easy way for the GOP to pick its presidential nominee.
Republicans Put Their Family Feud on Display
On The Radar
"Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." With apologies to Leo Tolstoy, his masterpiece "Anna Karenina" -- and its opening line -- comes to mind when spending some time with the GOP field. They're an unhappy brood all right -- dissatisfied with President Barack Obama, with the economy, with what they consider overregulation, with deficits, with big government, with the tax code.

I think this school is excellent!
Good school,high standards,great opportunity. What more do you want!
I attended Immanuel Baptist Christian School for 6 years, and I have yet to receive an education equal or even close to the intense learning processes that I was lucky enough to be a part of there. IBCS teaches elementary and middle school similarly to an AP class - harder, faster, more challenging, and infinitely more rewarding. My teachers worked one-on-one with myself and other students, no one was ever left out of the loop. Even though we were being taught an accelerated curriculum, time was always taken to assure that everyone understood the material before moving on in the lesson. I highly recommend IBCS for all children in any grade.
Excellent structured learning environment. Dedicated faculty, Abeka curriculum is advanced. Administration is a bit 'stuffed-shirt', but generally responsive to parental concerns. Typical students are two grade levels ahead of their public school peers.
High School teachers have too many preparations per subject. There should be more than one teacher in every subject area. Other than that High school has a lot of potential. Elementary P.E discipline needs improvement. All student should not be discipline for misbehavior by one student. Sometimes 'punishment does not fit the crime'
My children have attended Immanuel for the past 7 years. The learning environment is unsurpassed, they have a 18-21 teacher per child ratio, which is perfect for teaching and learning. The teachers are readily available to address your concerns as is the Principal. The curriculum is challenging, the Christian atmosphere is just the cherry on top! It is quality education at a reasonable price.
I may be only a student, but I tell you that this school is the greatest school you could ever find for your child. For a person with a small child it is great because not only does your child get a great education here but he or she get's tought in the Christ-like way. This school is great in all ways. One of my favorite things about this school is that after school you see a group of kids hanging out, but not all of the same age but for example a kid from 5th grade, a senior , a sophmore a 7 th grader, this is what makes this school worth-while : everyone knows each other. I've never been happier at this school and I can guarantee your child will love it too. And what also makes it great are the teachers who will love your children.
My child is entering the second grade for the school year 2003. We are familiar with the abecca curriculum taught at the school, which was our first criteria for selecting Immanuel. In addition, we met with the Principal, and Vice Principal, toured the facilities and we were impressed with the attention giving us and all questions that my wife and I had were thoroughly answered. We find the staff focused, motivated, and most important caring to teach each student to the best of their ability.

What Happens if a Debtor Misses the Mandatory Initial Meeting of Creditors?
In bankruptcy, the initial meeting of creditors is called a Section 341 meeting. Established within the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the creditors' meeting is required under Chapters 7, 11, and 13 and is mandatory for debtors. Even though a debtor may retain counsel to handle his case, he must still attend the creditors' meeting.
The purpose of the creditors' meeting is to provide a debtor's creditors the chance to meet with the debtor and his counsel and to review documents, materials, and information in the debtor's bankruptcy filings. Another purpose for the creditors' meeting is to give the bankruptcy trustee the chance to question the debtor as to the completeness, accuracy, truthfulness, and basis for the information contained in the debtor's filings, including petition, schedules, and statements. The creditors' meeting is the perfect opportunity for the trustee, creditors, and/or any counsel appearing to raise concerns, problems, or issues in the bankruptcy filings made, and to work with debtor and his counsel, if any, to resolve any issues quickly and early.
What to Expect
The key to a debtor's success in a creditors' meeting is preparation, communication, and information sharing. The responsibility for assisting a debtor with preparation for the creditors' meeting falls primarily on debtor's attorney. The more a debtor communicates with an attorney, reviews and completes required paperwork, makes necessary revisions, provides updates and supplementation as required, and listens to and adheres the instructions of his bankruptcy lawyer, the smoother and more efficient the meeting will likely be. Meetings typically take about five minutes in a standard, uneventful case and 15 to 20 minutes in instances in which there may be areas of concern. Creditors' meetings are conducted by and presided over by the bankruptcy trustee assigned to the case in Chapters 7 and 13. In Chapter 11 cases, an Assistant U.S. Trustee or other designee from the Office of the U.S. Trustee presides.
Failure to Attend
If a debtor fails to attend his creditors' meeting, the court will likely make an award of sanctions against the debtor. The typical sanction in most jurisdictions is the dismissal of the debtor's bankruptcy case for failure to attend the scheduled initial meeting of creditors. Because the initial meeting is set without input or coordination with the debtor's schedule, often, a bankruptcy trustee will be willing to reset the date once, if debtor and/or his counsel communicates the scheduling conflict promptly. Further scheduling conflicts may not be accommodated by the trustee, depending on the jurisdiction and local practice. Once the case is dismissed, a debtor must file a motion for leave to reopen the case or file a new case (if permissible), depending on the jurisdiction.

MADISON (WKOW) -- It's fragrant, produces flowers in spring, and adapts well to sun or shade. We're talking about Creeping Charlie, also known as ground ivy. This is a weed most gardeners are trying to eliminate from their lawns.
Creeping Charlie creeps along the soil surface, rooting as it grows. Any little piece of stem that gets left behind will root and infest the area.
You may want to try the new chelated iron weed killers. This natural selective herbicide kills broadleaf weeds but not your grass.
Treating with a broadleaf weed killer when the plants are in full bloom or after a hard freeze will kill the plant.
Be sure to read and follow label directions carefully.

Taylor Swift was among the winners Sunday night at the first-ever YouTube Music Awards, held at Pier 36 in New York City.
Taylor picked up the YouTube Phenomenon prize for inspiring the biggest number of fan responses.
The Video of the Year category was stacked with pop stars like Lady Gaga , but they all lost to the South Korean group Girls' Generation and their "I Got a Boy" clip.
Though she wasn't a winner, Gaga still made her mark on the ceremony by performing one of her new ARTPOP tracks, "Dope," live for the first time. In fact, she arrived on the red carpet with the same unusual look -- complete with grills -- that is seen in her recently-revealed artwork for "Dope."
Avicii ; alternative rockers Arcade Fire ; rappers Eminem , M.I.A ., Earl Sweatshirt and Tyler, the Creator ; and the band Walk Off the Earth were also on the bill.
Actor Jason Schwartzman and comedian/musician Reggie Watts hosted the YouTube Music Awards, which was streamed live on YouTube.
Here are the winners:
Video of the Year
Girls' Generation -- "I Got a Boy"
Artist of the Year
Response of the Year
Lindsey Stirling and Pentatonix -- "Radioactive"
YouTube Phenomenon
Taylor Swift -- "I Knew You Were Trouble"
YouTube Breakthrough
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
Innovation of the Year

I love HTRS. It is such a wonderful school with such strong leadership. The teachers truly care about the students. A truly fantastic Catholic education. I love that the school is on the small side. The students not only know each other but look out for each other too. So glad this school is in my neighborhood.
Karen, I love Holy Trinity Regional School. The Teachers are great and the teacher to student ratio is the best around.
Wonderful environment for my son to learn and meet new friends. There is a real sense of family and community at HTRS
great school, wonderful teachers. It is a small school with a great community of family and school. I am sad that my family is moving out of state, and i can only hope to find a school like HTRS. My girls love it there, and they will sorely miss everyone. Enroll your children you will not be disappointed. The academics are challening, and theyn are working on bring more sports to the school as well.
Tons of academic programs that have graduated top notch students. Advanced math, critical thinking, drama, band, music, art, computer classes, science and computer labs plus much more. Graduates place in premier high schools and graduate from impressive colleges. Parent involvement is tremendous and aids in teaching the whole child: mind, body, and soul.

Gold Leather Lunch Bag by Pulp

Gold Leather Lunch Bag by Pulp
• $83.78
• Etsy
What a glam way to carry your lunch to the office -- a soft golden leather bag. Just like your paper sack from grade school, but lots more luxe in every way.
7 Comments
$84 for a lunch box? Ouch.
What if your salad dressing leaks and ruins the $84 lunch box? Pretty, but not very practical.
$84 for a lunch bag? Say what?!
I thought we were in a recession?
$85 bucks for a bag with no handles and no closure. Stuff like this is the very worst of etsy.
Is this a companion piece to the odd posting a while back about the squirrel cozy or whatever that was? :)
$84! Seriously for probably less than half a yard of fabric and 6 straight seams.

DEARBORN (WKZO) -- Ford Motor Company has named the successors for three retiring executives.
Top labor negotiator Marty Lully, design chief J Mays and North American manufacturing chief Jim Tetreault will retire on the first of January. Bill Dirksen takes over for Lully, Moray Callum becomes the new vice president of design and Bruce Hettle is promoted to North American manufacturing chief.
In the Detroit Free Press, Michelle Krebs with Edmunds.com is quoted as saying "I think the main thing behind this is Mark Fields is putting his stamp on the organization." Fields was promoted to COO earlier this year, a move that most believe indicates that he will succeed Alan Mulally.

Narrow your search
Play and organize a variety of audio and video files, as well as rip and burn CDs.
If its Wi-Fi sync feature were better designed and more reliable, Winamp would be a worthwhile download. As it stands, it's just a good music player that is not particularly impressive.
Pricing not available
Winamp is still a fun player for customizing your playback experience, but most users will prefer the all-in-one experience of Windows Media Player or iTunes.
Pricing not available
The popular music and video player has avoided an early retirement through a deal in which it changes hands from AOL to Radionomy.
AOL is selling the popular video and music player to online radio station aggregator Radionomy, says TechCrunch.
There's no need to lament the loss of Winamp thanks to this touching tribute app made by Spotify.
A Windows app gives an old-school interface to the streaming-media service. Don't expect full-on MP3 playback support, though.
Will the popular video and music player be saved at the last moment? A deal with parent company AOL to sell the software may be in the works, reports TechCrunch.
With media player Winamp headed to software heaven, Crave's Bonnie Burton, who once worked for the firm that made it, looks back on workplace tensions and fun -- and Mike the llama.
There will be no more llama whipping for media player Winamp when parent company AOL closes it in December.
AOL pulls the plug on the once-popular music player, Windows Phone users get a half-baked Instagram app, and Microsoft sells anti-Google merchandise.
