In regards to recording the album, White recently told Rolling Stone that "he had to lay down tracks with his two live backing bands during pauses in touring behind 2012′s Blunderbuss, then spent a year and a half refining the tracks into the 11-track album he's releasing next month." Arriving in various formats, including a special Ultra LP which features two hidden tracks and a different running order from the digital and CD versions, Lazaretto is now available for pre-order on iTunes.

Gameplay is okay but...
The graphics are too classic flash looking for me
its okay but the controls are difficult to play
Repetitive Gameplay and Crudely Drawn
I was tempted to give this a lower score just because of all the hype, but I opted to try and make my review as independent from other people's views as possible. There is nothing that interesting let alone groundbreaking about this title. The only stand out aspect I can think of is the crisp voice acting, but I would think that that should more be icing upon the story and game-play mechanics, which are in actuality bland and unappealing. I found the art to be its most undesirable feature. I know that graphics don't make a game, but there is a standard, and characters that look like they were drawn in MS Paint do not reach it. I'm not sure why this series has been getting daily feature. I can tell a lot of work was put into it, but to put it bluntly, it's the product that counts, and this is one of repetitive monotony.
Not as good as the second one
The coolest thing about this was that you had access to all those awesome weapons at the same time. The weirdest thing was how you kept attacking your enemies over and over. What did not make this as enjoyable was how it simply went on forever and was too hard. I guess I could always train for it. It's also that the environment was not as good, everything just seems too ordinary. I want a larger variety of enemies with cooler designs.
At this point, I really do not care about how the animation is not the best. What matters is that you still had a good variety of songs being played and the voice actors did a good job. A pity I did not finish the last one so I do not quite understand this. Of course, I rarely do that with games here anyway. The coolest weapon was the bazooka.

HUNTSVILLE - Huntsville's downtown patrons will no longer have to reach into their pockets for change. Effective May 1, all parking meters in the downtown core will be removed.
Signage will also be posted in certain downtown areas, limiting parking to no more than a two-hour period.
"For this new strategy to work, it is important that significant efforts be made by all employees in the downtown area to respect the two-hour parking limits that will exist where meters are currently located. All of us at the Town of Huntsville offices will abide by this and walk a little further to work," said Huntsville Mayor Claude Doughty in a statement to this newspaper last week.
The move comes on the heels of a decision made by council in February to expand paid parking in the downtown core.
That decision was met with opposition from business members of the downtown community.
They argued pay parking and parking tickets create animosity among downtown patrons as well as a competitive disadvantage when compared to other commercial areas in the municipality.
Council returned to the drawing board and, prompted by the mayor, offered the downtown Huntsville Business Improvement Area full authority over downtown parking.
Alternatively, it said it would remove parking meters from the downtown altogether if the BIA declined the invitation.
Last week the BIA, after surveying its membership, announced it was not interested in controlling or enforcing paid parking in the downtown.
"At a March 27 general meeting of the BIA, the membership voted unanimously in favour of not becoming the parking authority," it stated in a press release issued last Thursday, March 29.
Doughty welcomed the news.
"I am pleased to see that the BIA has concurred with council's decision to remove the parking meters from downtown Huntsville," he told this newspaper in a written statement the same day.
"I think this is a big step forward in recognizing that customer service is more important than ever for Huntsville to continue to grow and prosper," he added.
In a previous statement the mayor indicated that the two-hour parking enforcement would target repeat offenders.
A two-hour parking limit will be set for all currently metered areas as well as High Street and Minerva Street from Brunel to Centre, and West Street from Minerva to Caroline Street, as well as the River Mill parking lot, according to the BIA.
"The BIA sees this as a progressive move with the potential marketing opportunity to entice more people to shop and visit downtown on a regular basis. The BIA parking committee will work with downtown merchants to develop a creative strategy to market and implement this new venture," stated the BIA.

Columnist EducationNews.org
January 15, 2001
Ongoing debate over testing public school students dominates education reform discussions. Pedagogical progressives insist that testing students serves no good purpose, that it's a waste of time, stressful, and harmful to the child's self-esteem. They claim testing proves nothing and does not reveal what the child has learned. And above all, they claim that testing will lead to a sham of teachers simply "teaching to the test," so students will get good marks.
Outside the education field, every profession and trade sees testing as a quality assurance measure and accepts testing without question. So, why is education so different? What is the rest of the world missing that the progressive educators claim to understand so clearly?
If one examines the primary objectives of modern educators, it is easy to understand why they shun testing. Although the public wants teachers to teach and students to become knowledgeable and proficient in the traditional academic subjects, the educrats see school as a be-all and end-all for the students. They have relegated the teaching of basic knowledge and skills to the sidelines and put "teaching" emphasis on "Affective-Cognitive thinking skills."
The priority of teaching children to develop the "affective domain" of thinking is supposed to develop each into a well adjusted citizen, a visionary problem solver, a critical higher-order thinker that feels good about himself-all without having learned the basic factual knowledge or skills required to ever attain such an exulted state. Educrats have denied schools and teachers their function of instructing students in the subjects of basic knowledge and skills, which would allows them to develop into adults and enter the workplace, or go on to institutions of higher learning. Instead, the educrats are trying to take over the raising of the children. They, now, wants to dictate how children are to think, what values they are to adopt, and what and how they shall feel about self and society.
The pedagogues are leap-frogging over the essentials, only to land on a make-belief lily pad in never-never land. Educrats want to change the way children think-turn them into "nonjudgmental critical thinkers," willing "life-long learners," with lots of artificial "self-esteem." No wonder they say testing is useless and proves nothing-with such a learning agenda there is nothing measurable to learn or test.
Just how far off base the progressive educators are in their argument against testing can be seen in their derision of "teaching to the test." In any other enterprise or endeavour, "teaching to the test" is common practice. The test represents a standard (specifications) of skills and knowledge required for any given trade or profession. It proves whether the tested person has attained the required minimum standard of competence of his trade or profession. So it is with students. They should be tested in all the academic subjects each year to ensure they have obtained, retained, and can recall (learned) enough of a prescribed curriculum tomeet a minimum laid-down standard of knowledge of a given subject.
"Teaching to the test" is the norm; it becomes a farce only when the test itself is a travesty. The test must reflect the curriculum; the curriculum must be structured to deliver a foundation of knowledge sequentially, reflecting information in the textbook, or vice versa; and the teacher must deliver his lecture accordingly-teach to the test, using direct instruction techniques, which is the simplest, most effective, proven method that will allow all children to learn the basic academic subjects needed for a successful livelihood. All THAT-not teaching them hare-brained "living skills" and phoney "self-esteem"-will give public school students the chance they need in life and turn them into well-adjusted, self-reliant citizens.

Side-by-Side Comparison of Two Home Improvement Retailers
Delian is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Shares of Home Depot (NYSE: HD) and Lowe's (NYSE: L), the two largest home improvement stores in the U.S., are trading near their respective 52-week high prices. With the stock market also trading near its 52-week high, the spring season a month or so away, and housing showing clear signs of improvement, it is worth taking a look at the common stocks of both companies. This article will discuss some of their valuation and fundamental measures, competitive positions, and prospects going forward.
Valuation and Fundamentals
Home Depot and Lowe's, while similar companies, have different valuations and fundamentals. Home Depot has 1.5 billion shares for a market capitalization and enterprise value (EV) of $100.2 billion and $109 billion. Lowe's has 1.1 billion shares outstanding and a market capitalization and EV of about $43.9 billion and $51.7 billion. As of Oct. 28, Home Depot had 2,250 stores with 274 stores located in Mexico and Canada compared to 1,750 stores for Lowe's as of Nov. 2, of which 89% were company-owned. About 30 of Lowe's store are located in Canada and four in Mexico (Lowe's also has a 1/3 interest in an Australian joint venture with 23 stores). Below is a table that includes a number of valuation measures as well as fundamentals for Home Depot, Lowe's, and the S&P 500 index.
Source: Author's calculations, SEC filings, Reuters; EBITDA - earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization; PEG - price-to-earnings-to-growth.
From the table above it seems like Home Depot shares are more expensive based on most valuation ratios. It also has a better EBITDA margin and a sales per store figure. However, Lowe's derives a higher percentage of revenues from services, which offer higher value and indicate higher customer loyalty. Lowe's common stock is also less expensive when accounting for its growth as signaled by its lower PEG ratio.
Competitive Position
Another possibility for the difference in valuation is that Home Depot seems to have a larger footprint and more initiatives. For example, Home Depot is usually in the news with initiatives to hire veterans and seasonal workers although both companies have similar initiatives. Due to Home Depot's larger size it gets more media attention. This is in addition to internal improvements such as daycare for its employees in its Atlanta-based headquarters, offering customers and contractors the flexibility to obtain certain local permits directly from 12 stores in the Las Vegas area, and keeping a conservative balance sheet.
There are some developments that play into Lowe's competitive advantage. For example, the company has more leverage than Home Depot and this should improve equity returns over time. In addition, Lowe's repurchased $3.6 billion of its own shares for the nine-month period ending Nov. 2, compared to $3.3 billion for Home Depot. While more leverage could be dangerous in times of economic distress, it could help Lowe's in the much anticipated economic recovery.
On the negative side, Lowe's, according to one analyst, has stores that are at a disadvantage compared to Home Depot as they are situated further away from people. However, this could also be a negative for Home Depot as households in urban areas, such as large cities, are more affluent and outsource a larger portion of their projects.
While Lowe's is less diversified internationally, it is likely to continue its expansion in Canada and Mexico even after its failed bid for Canada's largest home improvement retailer, Rona, in 2012. At the same time, Home Depot's unsuccessful attempt to expand in China cost the company $165 million and loss of reputation in 2012.
Lowe's and Home Depot, while different in size, are the two largest home improvement retailers in the U.S. Their shares, based on a price to earnings ratio, are overvalued compared to the S&P 500 index. However, based on price to book and PEG, their shares still offer good value for investors.
The similarities between both companies outnumber their differences. For example, in September of 2011, Lowe's equipped its store employees with iPhones and this move was followed by Home Depot in early 2013. And in appliances, both companies recently introduced the addition of LG (at Lowe's) and Samsung (at Home Depot) to their product offerings. However, on a relative basis, shares of Lowe's are less expensive. As such, they would likely catch up with Home Depot in an improving housing picture while also offering a larger margin of safety.

Marriage is a social contract that has conditions not compatible to modern day aspirations of people. It has ceased to define relationship between two adults, trust and interdependence. Love and respect are possibly the least virtues in modern day marriages. It has necessities with regard to heir-ship of offspring and in some cases maintaining dynasties.
The most important aspect of marriage, that is starting a family demands some sacrifices of individual liberties that we are not ready anymore to commit. Even for India, which is deeply family oriented culture and traditional believer of holy union between couples, this is the reality so marriage in lot many cases are potential sources of suppressed debauchery and is just a license to keep on being disloyal to each other. I think that's a shame.

The Kansas City Chiefs will open their 2012 regular season this Sunday, when the Atlanta Falcons, a team with Super Bowl aspirations, visits Arrowhead Stadium. The game will be an early litmus test for a Chiefs team entering the season with high expectations. Romeo Crennel's squad faces a challenging schedule out of the gate and a win over the favored Falcons will go a long way toward setting the tone for what many hope will be a magical season in the City of Fountains.
The Falcons are going to be tough to take down, but here are five keys to victory for this week's game.
1. Run Wild
The Kansas City Chiefs have plenty of talented receivers and weapons but their first key to victory in every game this season will be to run the football with success. The return of Jamaal Charles and the addition of Peyton Hillis should make the KC run game formidable. We saw flashes of what this team can do on the ground during the preseason and trust me, we ain't seen nothing yet.
The Chiefs need to win this game, and if they give the Falcons a heavy dose of Charles and Hillis, they'll have a darn good shot to come out victorious.
2. Ground the Falcons
If the Chiefs want to win this game then they need to let the Atlanta Falcons run the football with Michael Turner. There is no getting around it: the KC secondary is going to be outmatched against Roddy White, Julio Jones and Tony Gonzalez. If Tamba Hali was playing and applying pressure I might feel differently but with a banged up Flowers and a rusty Eric Berry, the Chiefs need to play things conservatively in the defensive backfield. Matt Ryan is too good of a QB and he will smoke the Chiefs if given the chance.
No, the Chiefs need to make running the football enticing to Atlanta. They can allow Michael Turner to get his yards. The Falcons will move the football. The Chiefs just need to avoid giving up the big play.
When the Chiefs beat the Packers last year, they sold out to stop the pass. Ryan Grant ran the ball 12 times for 66 yards, good for a 5.5 yards-per-carry average, well above his usual 4.3. Crennel has employed a similar strategy against other pass-happy teams.
Forcing the other team to run when their strength is passing slows down the game an enables Crennel's D to bend and not break. The Falcons are way more balanced than most pass heavy teams but the Chiefs have enough talent and speed to contain the running game. They just can't let Jones and White beat them.
If both teams are running the ball, the score should stay low and close and I think that favors the home team.
3. Target the Big Fellas
It is no secret that Matt Cassel often struggles throwing to the outside. The Chiefs now have two very good pass catching tight ends at their disposal in Tony Moeaki and Kevin Boss. Cassel is comfortable and relatively accurate when throwing over the middle. If Daboll can establish the run, he'll be able to dial up some play action fakes and eat the Falcons alive using his big fellas.
4. Cassel to Hillis
Peyton Hillis is an excellent pass catcher. I anticipate we will see him lining up at full back a lot in this game. There is a reason the Chiefs didn't keep a true fullback on their roster.
The thing is, Hillis IS a true fullback. He played the position before moving to HB. A Hillis/Charles backfield is a high problem. Either one could realistically get the ball, either one could be a decoy and both could be slipping out on screens in the event of a play fake. Cassel can hand it to Hillis. Fake it to Hillis and give it to Charles. Hillis can lead block. Hillis can be pretending to lead block when in actuality, he is a receiver on the play.
You get the idea. The KC offense is designed to let Cassel dump it off so his weapons can do their thing. Hillis' ability to catch and run is a big weapon. KC needs to use it.
5. Nobody Likes Rotten Berrys
Everyone is excited to have Eric Berry back but Berry didn't look like Berry in the preseason. Athletically he looked 100% to me, but mentally it was pretty clear that the year away from football hurt him. The Chiefs need Berry to shake off the rust and get back to work. I think for Eric, that means relaxing and not trying to do too much. If Berry starts pressing, he is going to find himself out of position and the Falcons are going to find themselves in the endzone.
If Berry can play mistake-free football, the results will take care of themselves.
And those results could be a Chiefs victory.
All right, Addicts. Those are my 5 keys to victory. What are yours?

I'm pretty sure that Nintendo has reached the non-Wii crowd with this channel. The story is already all over the Internet, pasted across every game-related site and even some that aren't. Not only that, but it's only a matter of time before the videos are posted on Youtube.
Essentially, why should Nintendo spend money to advertise when we're quite content to give them 10x more exposure than they could pay for themselves?

Top food stories from Berkeley in 2011
As the year draws to a close, it's time to look back to see what food stories created a buzz around town and on Berkeleyside in 2011.
Granted, there's an arbitrary nature to such end-of-year lists. But it's an opportunity to take stock of the city's culinary culture.
For the purposes of this post we've focused on food news stories, which doesn't take into account the dozens of interviews with foragers, farmers, artisans, advocates, chefs, cooking teachers, preservers, pasta makers, cheese purveyors, pop-up restaurateurs, and farmers' market vendors we've published during 2011.
This year also saw controversial coverage of corner stores, reporting on detractors of school food, an insider's take on speed dating with a veg-friendly focus, and a widely criticized first-person piece on disappointing camp chow.
Readers may differ on what food stories caught their attention. Feel free to add your own highlights (or low points) in the comments section.

New crop swap comes to Berkeley's Lorin District
The sun blessed Berkeley gardeners with heaps of homegrown produce this summer. To address burgeoning baskets, Councilmember Max Anderson announced the addition of the the Lorin Station Crop Swap this Sunday, August 21 at 1 p.m.
The one-hour, edible-garden swap hosted by Transition Berkeley and The Victory Garden Foundation at the corner of Alcatraz and Adeline is free to the public. Attendees lacking in produce are encouraged to bring something else (aside from money) in the spirit … Continue reading »
Lemons, loquats and greens: Berkeley crop swap kicks off
As predicted by Berkeleyside readers, lemons were, indeed, in abundant supply at the first Berkeley Crop Swap organized by Transition Berkeley Monday night at Ohlone Park.
Under a fog-filled sky there wasn't a ripe tomato in sight, though you could pick up tomato starts. Nonetheless, a couple of dozen local residents happily exchanged home-grown goodies that thrive in this micro-climate in July.
People perused two folding tables and a couple of blankets with freshly harvested produce and then filled their baskets and bags with plums and purple potatoes and gave away basil and beet greens. True to their roots, along with kitchen staples such as carrots, strawberries, and rosemary, Berkeley growers showed up with some less well-known produce including loquats, grape leaves, and angelica.
Heads up homesteaders: Crop swap launches in Berkeley
It's that time of year when the abundance from a backyard vegetable garden can be a tad prolific. How many zucchini squash can one family eat? Or perhaps your produce problem comes from human error: you simply planted way too many onions and not enough greens.
Help is on the way. Beginning next Monday night the people behind the newly formed grassroots group Transition Berkeley invite residents to share their harvest at a Crop Swap in the public park next to the Ohlone Greenway on Sacramento Street.
It couldn't be simpler: you show up with your freshly harvested lettuces or lemons and share or swap them for some plums or potatoes. That's it. No money changes hands.
Berkeley is just one of a grassroots network of more than 300 transition towns around the globe organizing their communities to become more resilient, self-reliant and sustainable. In keeping with that philosophy, the Berkeley coalition, which numbers 80 members and counting, encourages locals to lower their carbon footprint, grow food close to home, pool resources, reduce their use of fossil fuels and foster community. Such behaviors are critical, transition advocates say, to facing challenges such as climate change, oil dependency and depletion, and a persistent economic downturn. … Continue reading »

Comments about 3" x 25" - Staples Kraft Mailing Tube with Caps, 24/Case:
I couldn't decide between this product and the cheaper, thinner-walled version of these tubes. If you are using tubes for shipping, buy this one. It's just thick enough in my opinion that it will not bend during shipping, but I can't imagine going any thinner. Good quality overall and the cheapest you can buy anywhere if you're not buying in bulk.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

So this Father's Day, when your dad is taking you out to dinner (I am assuming he is paying – my dad would!), look him in the eye, hold his gaze like you haven't in years and say:
"Dad, I understand that you are a human being, with interests, desires, mature sexual agency, hopes, and fears just like the rest of us. You are not an object of ridicule. Please, show me the dances of your youth. This time, for once, I promise not to laugh. Yes, dance father. Dance."
A call back to 80's horror flicks and VHS scares. Demon Nurses will make you laugh, cry, but most of all, chill you to the bone

This selection was made by Josh Hill of FanSided.com
New York Jets Select Tavon Austin, WR/West Virginia
Thanks to the Darrelle Revis Trade which landed the Jets with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers first-round pick, New York has a chance to really change the face of their franchise. A reported scenario from Jason LaCanfora stated that the Jets would select Geno Smith and Tavon Austin if they got a hold of the Bucs pick.
But instead, New York took a defensive player 9th overall and are taking the explosive Tavon Austin 13th overall. Wit the trade, the Jets are in a position to be able to pass on Geno Smith, as E.J. Manuel is going to be available in the second round and is just like Geno Smith. There isn't a carbon copy of Tavon Austin in the draft, which means in two days, the Jets may go from the laughing stock of football, to an incredibly dangerous team.
Here is how the draft currently stands:
1. Kansas City Chiefs — Eric Fisher, offensive tackle, Central Michigan
2. Jacksonville Jaguars — Dion Jordan, defensive end, Oregon
3. Oakland Raiders — Sharrif Floyd, defensive tackle, Florida
4. Philadelphia Eagles — Luke Joeckel, offensive tackle, Texas A&M
5. Detroit Lions — Ezekiel Ansah, defensive end, BYU
6. Cleveland Browns — Dee Milliner, cornerback, Alabama
7. Arizona Cardinals — Lane Johnson, offensive tackle, Oklahoma
8. Buffalo Bills — Chance Warmack, guard, Alabama
9. New York Jets — Jarvis Jones, linebacker, Georgia
10. Tennessee Titans — Jonathan Cooper, guard, North Carolina
11. San Diego Chargers — Star Lotulelei, defensive tackle, Utah
12. Miami Dolphins — Xavier Rhodes, cornerback, Florida State
13. New York Jets (via Tampa Bay) — Tavon Austin, wide receiver, West Virginia

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (September 28, 2012) – The Rutgers men's soccer team (4-3-0, 0-1-0 BIG EAST) will return to its BIG EAST slate when it hosts Louisville (5-3-0, 1-0-0 BIG EAST) on Sunday, Sept. 30 at 1 p.m. at Yurcak Field. The contest will be broadcast live on CBS Sports Network.
The Scarlet Knights are coming off a 2-1 win against Central Connecticut State this past Wednesday. The two squads played to a scoreless first half with Rutgers breaking things open in the second period with back-to-back scores. Freshman defender Mitchell Taintor (Storrs, Conn.) struck first, scoring in the 49th minute, while junior forward Kene Eze (Sayreville, N.J.) added a goal in the 57th minute. CCSU put one on the scoreboard in the 62nd minute, however, RU was able to hold on for the win.
Taintor and Eze are tied with freshman midfielder Mael Corboz (Green Brook, N.J.) for the team lead with two goals apiece. Corboz also has a team-best two assists. Senior goalkeeper Kevin McMullen (Blackwood, N.J.) has started all seven games in goal, posting three shutouts and a 0.85 goals against average. He has made 31 saves on the season for a .838 save percentage.
Rutgers and Louisville will meet for the eighth time with the Scarlet Knights trailing the all-time series 1-4-2. RU is 1-1-1 against UofL at Yurcak Field. Last season's matchup ended in a 1-1 draw at Cardinal Park.
The Cardinals enter the game with an overall record of 5-3-0 and a league record of 1-0-0. Last week the Cardinals finished with two wins, including a 2-1 defeat of No. 4 Notre Dame. Senior Greg Cochrane leads the team in scoring with three goals and one assist for seven points. Junior Dylan Mares ranks second on the team with two goals and two assists for six points. Junior Mike Mauro started the last two games for the Cardinals in goal. He owns a 0.50 goals against average with one shutout on the year.

Seminar on integrated water management in the Tisza river basin
Cooperation among five Tisza basin nations
The Tisza river is one of the large tributaries in the Danube catchment in eastern Europe. It is the major river in the Carpathian basin, originating in Ukraine, then flowing along the border with Romania and Hungary and touching briefly upon Slovakia before crossing southwards across the Hungarian plain to reach the Vojvodina region of Serbia and entering the Danube between Novi Sad and Belgrade (draining thus a catchment of about 157,000km2). In 1997-1999, a Ramsar Small Grants Fund project compiled extensive documentation on the Upper Tisza region (shared by Hungary, Romania, Slovakia and Ukraine) in preparation for a transboundary Ramsar Site in the Tisza floodplain that would eventually stretch over 400km and cover about 140,000 hectares. As a major concrete step to this end, Hungary and Slovakia announced recently the establishment of a transboundary Ramsar Site covering 23,000ha on their parts of the Upper Tisza floodplain.
The five countries within the Tisza basin have their own needs and interests. Ukraine is located upstream and its main concern is how to deal with flash floods from the Carpathians after heavy precipitations or snow melt. Romania also contributes water to the Upper Tisza, not directly but through a series of tributaries, of which the Szamos became known due to the cyanide spill near Baia Mare in January 2000 that polluted the river system of the Tisza with damaging consequences downstream to the Danube (which enters Romania on its way to the Black Sea). Hungary lies midstream and has some of its most prestigious wetlands linked to the Tisza, such as the Hortobagy Ramsar Site. Finally, downstream Serbia is most concerned about the quality and quantity of Tisza water entering its fertile plains of the Vojvodina region. Hungary and Slovakia are on the path to entering the European Union within a few months. Therefore for some time already, they have worked to achieve good (ecological) status of water, as required by the EU Water Framework Directive. Romania has also begun this process. Serbia and Ukraine are countries in profound transition, still much more isolated and pursuing different development imperatives. Despite the important differences at national level between the five catchment countries, they have all adhered to a number of legal instruments at international level, including the Convention on Measures to Combat Pollution on the Tisza River and its Tributaries (Szeged, 1986), the UN-ECE Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes (Helsinki, 1992), the Convention on the Protection and Sustainable Development of the Carpathians (Kiyv, 2003), the Danube Convention, the Ramsar Convention, and others.
The management of water, agriculture, landscape and the environment in many countries is usually the responsibility of independent sectoral ministries, local authorities and other official bodies. The competing demands of water and land users, which differ throughout the river catchment, may result in policy conflicts and require often complex, expensive capital works to maintain a landscape that is potentially unstable with respect to economics and water management.
Where traditionally river floodplains supported flood tolerant grasses, water meadows and fishponds, modern agricultural production demands low and tightly regulated water levels and protection from seasonal inundation. This trend has been exacerbated by the availability of arable area, crop intervention payments, and grant aid for drainage, including pumped drainage within floodplains. This led to the development of arable agriculture that demands low water levels in associated rivers. With these, apparently reduced, flood risks, urban building has also increased within drained floodplains.
Ludasko Lake Ramsar Site in Serbia, in the Tisza downstream floodplain of Vojvodina region, where Tisza water is heavily used for intensive arable agriculture.
In addition to the altered nature of floodplains, the land use of the upper catchment is also crucial to the overall risk management situation. Loss of uncultivated land, especially within the buffer zone of headwater streams, is increasing the speed of runoff, suspended solid and nutrient loads, and producing more unstable catchment behaviour, where the retention time of rainfall is reduced, leading to larger flood pulses downstream. Cumulatively, the reduction in upper and mid-catchment water retention leads to more flood events downstream where river channels no longer contain peak water levels, even from minor flood events. Within the Hungarian plain, disruptive downstream flooding and consequent disruption of economic activity has been frequent, and is driving the relevant authorities to greater cooperative efforts to regulate the Tisza, primarily for socio-economic reasons.
In two consequent Food and Agriculture Organization regional conferences for Europe, Hungary has emphasized the need for technical assistance to address the recurrent problems and work towards integrated water management in the Tisza river basin. Subsequently, the FAO prepared a first project outline, adapted to the requirements of the EU Water Framework Directive. To encourage dialogue, present the individual views concerning the Tisza river basin management of the five basin countries, and achieve as much common ground as possible, the FAO Subregional Office for Central and Eastern Europe organized a seminar on 20-21 November 2003 in Budapest. It was further supported by Wetlands International, in the framework of a Dutch-supported project on transboundary cooperation on Ramsar Site designation in the Upper Tisza river basin.
The seminar brought together for the first time about 60 representatives of the five countries, from Ministries of Environment, Forestry, Water, Agriculture, and Rural Development, from Water Management Authorities, NGOs and international organizations. The Ramsar Secretariat was invited to moderate the discussions. The Council of Europe presented its initiative on the sustainable spatial development of the Tisza river basin, signed in September 2003 during the 13th session of the European Conference of Ministers responsible for Regional Planning (CEMAT), foreseeing the setting up of a joint commission. The FAO summarized its experience on developing a coherent economic and environmental basis for the much needed collaboration among different stakeholders to integrate agricultural practices and agricultural water management with river flow and aquifer management. Agriculture has a particular responsibility not only for the use of natural resources, but also for the existence values that accrue to water courses and wetlands. The agricultural sector is beginning to shoulder this environmental responsibility. Ramsar Contracting Parties addressed the issues in Resolution VIII.34 on "Agriculture, wetlands and water resource management". To this end, and to strengthen Ramsar's pillar of "international cooperation" in the context of integrated river basin management (cf. Ramsar Handbook 4), the seminar was a useful first step to creating meaningful exchanges between the agricultural sector and water and environmental managers.
Farmhouse, Ludasko Lake.
The seminar participants concluded that, despite existing bilateral agreements, concrete steps are needed towards more basin-wide and multi-sectoral cooperation among the five catchment states. The existing Tisza Water Forum, initiated by Hungary and Romania for coordinated flood management, should be gradually transformed into a more multi-disciplinary committee. With the support of all five countries, it should be given a larger mandate to cover all aspects of integrated river basin management. The FAO was encouraged to develop its project outline further, building on the existing, mostly bilateral, initiatives and actions of the coordinating bodies that are already in place. Furthermore, the project should explore and provide directions for the better use of international funding opportunities from the EU (Interreg, ERDF), EBRD, GEF and others. For Ramsar Administrative Authorities in these countries, this is the opportunity to get involved in wetland and water management at catchment scale, by interacting with the respective agencies responsible for water management and agriculture.

Food Security Bill: Top DemeritsAs the Food Security Bill got passed by the Lok Sabha, here's a look at the negative aspects of the bill that may hit us hard in the days to come
By Sonal Bhadoria, IndiaTimes | August 27, 2013, 4:14 pm IST
1 Vote Security Bill
With the 2014 elections looming large, critics have argued that the bill is just a ploy by the Congress to make a last ditch effort to gain the rural vote for next year's general elections.Experts believe the rush to pass the bill implies the intent is nakedly political. Murli Manohar Joshi, a senior BJP leader, said the bill was an attempt by the Congress to grab votes rather than end hunger. "This is not a food security bill, it is a vote security bill," he said.

Dundas & Wilson suffers double partner exit
Readers' comments (4)
These departures are hardly a surprise. Thomas hasn't really brought any work in and clearly saw Walker as a threat (he's off to Wragges).
Pike probably took one look at the place and the accounts for this year and decided that his time would be better spent on the golf course.
P.S. Kind of mackes a mockery of the piff piece which you ran in September talking about partner promotions. Going to have a go at counting how many partners have left in the last few years, and how many of them were in London?
No real loss or surprises here. The company could lose many more partners to the golf course and productivity wouldn't change.
Every cloud has a silver lining as they say, perhaps the so called 'reward and recognition' talked up by the new management team can now start?
Time to boost staff morale one thinks....
They need to get themselves snapped up like McGrigors did.

bigbigbigday006 said: Two Wrongs Prim has to babysit sugared up toastbabys ;)
I can do this. They're just kids.
I fucking hate Cato right now. I'm married to him but I hate him.
This started innocently. Katniss and Peeta needed 'alone' time.
Otherwise known as 'we need to do it loudly before our heads explode' time.
Trust me—those two can't keep quiet for shit. I lived with them and managed to get some pretty sweet bribe gifts from them.
Cato can deal with them for five minutes. I just need five minutes of privacy—
God, India has a loud voice. Tiny fists pound on the bathroom door.
"In a minute, babe! Auntie Prim is using the bathroom," I tell her.
"Are you going number one or number two?"
"Who taught you that?"
"Uncle Rye."
"Give me five minutes. Is Uncle Cato setting up the DVD for you?"
"No, he's trying to find Milo."
And Cato has lost the baby.
That's what he gets for feeding them chocolate sundaes for dinner.
Milo, my nephew is three and so full of energy that he puts his sister to shame.
And all I need is five FUCKING minutes to urinate on a stick.
Getting up from the floor, I head to the toilet because my bladder is about to burst. Pulling my leggings down, I rip open the plastic foiling that covers the test. Removing the cap, I stick the test under me as I go for the allotted time before taking it out. Closing the cap, I place the test on the counter.
A loud scream is heard through the apartment followed by heavy footsteps and giggles.
It sounds like my husband has found Milo.
"Baby, are you in there?" Another knock interrupts my porcelain refuge.
"Yes. Can't a woman take a damn bathroom break in this place?"
"DAMN! DAMN!" A tiny voice echoes cheerfully.
I've just taught my nephew how to curse. I look at the time and I see that I have one more minute.
"Okay…" Cato sounds concerned. "We'll be here when you're ready."
I know I shouldn't be so annoyed but the stress of work and this possibility is freaking me out. It doesn't help that my sister and brother dropped the kids off after bringing them to Mitchell's for ice cream and then Cato had to make them sundaes.
He's a sucker for India's baby blues.
I grab the test and look at it.
Holy shit.
Taking a calming breath, I clean up and then walk out into the hallway. I can hear the music playing from the DVD.
"Jump into your racing car
Say SUGAR RUSH! SUGAR RUSH!"
When I get into the archway, the sight causes me to melt. Cato is dancing with India and they look like Belle and the Beast in their own makeshift ballroom. India is wearing a tiara and she screams in happiness when Cato dips her.
Milo is jumping on the couch and singing the song on the television. I can already tell that he'll have a great voice.
Peeta can't sing for shit but my sister has some chops on her.
"I see you've come to join the ball," Cato says to me and he dips India again. He looks over my nephew. "Just like I taught you."
Milo jumps off the couch, his blond curls bouncing and then walks over to me.
"Dance off pheesh?" He bows clumsily before holding out his hand and I have to laugh.
Kneeling before him, I look into those grey eyes—my sister's eyes—and then grin.
Maybe this will all turn out okay. I look over at Cato who is blowing a raspberry on India's cheek. He meets my eyes and I can feel my heart skip.
Or maybe the baby jumped inside me. Either way, I'm suddenly excited.
I take Milo's tiny hand in mine and curtsy in return. "Yes, I accept."

The Life of a Specimen
On Saturday, May 10, we were back up on Mt. Tam with the MMWD, documenting and collecting plants. A number of people asked me: what happens to our specimens after today? So, here, I present to you… the life of a specimen.
After all the work in the field (collecting, pressing in a field press, transferring to a plant press), there is still a lot of work back at the Academy to turn a collection into an herbarium specimen!
Once all the plant collections have been put in the plant press, they head to the Academy where they spend a week in the dryer. The dryer does exactly that - dries the specimens out so they don't mold later. The presses are tightened after a day or so in the dryer, since the plants lose a lot of bulk once they start to dry, and the presses end up getting loose.
After a week in the dryer, the presses are given a big change in climate - into the freezer for a week! The freezer is kept at around -5° F. Freezing the specimens ensures that any insects or other living things we wouldn't want in our herbarium are dead. There are often quite a few other interesting specimens from other research departments in the freezer as well!
After a chilly week in the freezer, the plants can finally be moved to the Botany department. As the presses are unpacked, each specimen is checked against a spreadsheet of all the data collected that particular day on Mt. Tam - that way we make sure all specimens are accounted for, have the correct collection numbers, and have the species name given to them in the field. The specimens themselves are also examined to make sure they fully dried.
Once we know that we have all the specimens and all the associated information is on the newspaper, the ID of each specimen is verified by a Botany staff member. When we have a confirmed ID, a label can be produced for that particular specimen, which includes all the relevant information: when and where it was collected, who it was collected by, and all the other data we collect as well - habitat, number of plants, etc.
Each label is then inserted into the newspaper holding its corresponding specimen. When specimens and labels are matched, they then can be mounted together on an herbarium sheet. A group of volunteer mounters work with the Mt. Tam specimens, gluing them carefully (and usually quite artistically!) onto the herbarium sheet, gluing the label, and adding a fragment packet to hold any little pieces of the plant that may have gotten loose. You can see the fragment packet to the right of the specimen below.
After being mounted, a specimen is ready to become part of the herbarium collections! The specimen is given a barcode, the information about the specimen is databased, and then the specimen is filed in the herbarium, first by family, then by location.
So… from the mountain, it usually takes about a month (or more, depending on how busy things are for citizen science and for Botany!) for a specimen to go through the full cycle and become part of the research collection. After that, it could still have other exciting adventures: having its DNA extracted for population genetics research, being loaned out to a researcher at another institution who wants to study it, having its label updated if the genus or species name changes… the life of a specimen goes on as long as the herbarium exists!
