Ok—so everybody (including me) always says that white supremacist heteropatriarchal nationalism is "structural"—that we have to deal with the "structure" in order to make changes.
But nobody (including me) ever says exactly what that *means*. what does "structure" mean and what does "structural" mean and what does "we have to get at the root and change the structure" mean? (This is all the US).
Well, I've been discovering—"structure" means:
Food disbursement (or: how do we access a basic survival need): grocery stores, co-ops, resturants, farmer's markets, etc. (closely connected: farmers, seed companies, etc).
Burial systems (or: how do we access a basic human dignity): burial plots, funeral homes, coroners, paupers burials, etc.
Birthing systems (or: how do we access a basic human dignity): hospitals, birthing centers, "home," (i.e. apartments, houses, 99% of the time, in this case, "home" is NOT a shelter or other homeless/abuse survivor site), prisons, etc.
Housing systems (or: how do we access a basic survival need): houses, apartments, public housing, condos, gated communities, etc
Energy systems for heating, cooling, cooking, etc (or: how do we access a basic survival system): energy companies (i.e. untilites companies), oil corporations, etc.
Energy systems for travel (or: how do we access a basic human right to movement): oil corporations, the big three, trains, FAA, etc.
Information systems (or: how do we access the basic human right to policy information and *demystification of that policy information* about the systems we live under): public libraries, the FCC, Comcast, Time/Warner, Disney, Google, Viacom, etc.
Attempting to be installed as we speak:
Water disbursement systems (or: how do we access a basic survival system): soda corporations (i.e. CocaCola, Desani (which is I think belongs to Coke).
If you look closely at how each of these systems work (and there may be more, but I am choosing right now to keep this discussion down to basic human needs/dignity), you see that the basic concept within each of them is "to control how disbursement of particular "service" will happen."
And you see that unequivocally, in every single area:Poor people,
Non-white people,
Non-cis people,
Disabled people,
Non-straight people,
have the *most* trouble accessing, navigating, acquiring any of these systems. (And I understand that using "non-X" as a descriptor is problematic, I am using it as a way to show that for each identity, problems with access play out in a different way—but they all *play out in a problematic way*).
The choice to opt out of these systems: i.e. bury your own dead, grow your own food, etc is there on a very limited basis—but usually it is only available to those with access to a high level of resources (e.g. hipsters). Poor people CAN and DO find themselves "off the grid" but this is almost always due to unjust and unequal problems within existing structures (e.g. segregation, inaccessibility, etc). BUT—this is also how many communities of color have managed to create successful community driven economies, and it is how many social justice organizers (most notably in places like Detroit), have been able to recognize an oportunity existing in the most dire circumstances (i.e. defining "resource" as community knowledge rather than money).
Also: the ability to "opt out" is heavily monitored and restricted by the catch-22 inherent in all of these systems: you must have money to access them more easily—but you can't get that money unless you spend a vast portion of your life working within them. thus, through the strict monitoring of "time," most people are unable to "opt out" of systems as they don't have the *time* to grow their own food, bury their own dead, etc.
These systems are how you get the triangle system we live under and how some of us benefit from things and others don't and how .01 percent of people at the top control everything and *benefit* from the privatization. Privatization does not create *independence*—but *dependence*. people are heavily dependent on the benevolence of corporations for jobs—and almost totally dependent on them for the actual service they offer.
This is one of the top ten things I've read on Tumblr.
If you just scrolled past the wall of text above to see what I said, then do be aware that what I said was, "back up, silly, you missed the good stuff"

Comparison of three styli
I've got three styli for drawing on my iPad: a Wacom Bamboo, a Pogo Connect and a Jot Classic. I used to have couple others (Kensington, Griffin) but I gave them away when I bought a Bamboo.
My thoughts on the pro's and con's of each stylus:
Bamboo (Wacom)
- I like the Bamboo. The nib has a small diameter, smaller than other brands, so you have a better view on what you are doing. The nibs are better than other brands, less friction when drawing on an iPad. I think it's more responsive.
- The nibs wear out rather fast. I draw a lot, and need to replace them after a month or two. (But at least you can replace them, instead of buying a whole new stylus.)
- It's more expensive than other similar styli, it costs about EUR 30. It's wise to check out first how much it would cost you to buy replacement nibs (online or at a local store). In Europe you can order them straight from Wacom in Germany, three nibs for EUR 4,90 and EUR 3,45 shipping costs. So I usually order three packs at once.
- Two dollars for a replacement nib seems like a fair price to me. Compare it with a traditional pen like a Copic Multiliner SP, which costs 9.95 USD. Copic replacement nibs are 3.95 USD a piece and refill ink costs 2.95 USD.
- It has a clip, but the nib isn't protected with a cap.
- Conclusion: Great stylus. It has been my primary stylus for about a year. I happily recommend it.
Pogo Connect (Ten One Design)
- It's pressure sensitive!
- I really, really like it. I admit: I've used the Pogo Connect for only a couple of days. So it might break next week, but I'll let you know if that happens.
- Update: It did break the next week. When drawing in Paper it suddenly stopped registering pressure properly. When I removed the tip, some kind of metal disc was attached to the magnet of the rubber nib. I think this disc was glued to the circuit board that's visible inside the pen, and it came loose. I've read a few tweets about the same happening to others. I've contacted Ten One Design, and they'll send a replacement.
And there's another issue: since I started using the Pogo Connect, Paper crashed a couple of times, which never happened before, it's the same issue that has been reported here. The crashes weren't really that frequent, and Paper only lost the last drawing step. I'm sure 53 will solve it in future release.
- Update2: Unfortunately, my Pogo Connect broke two more times. Ten One Design sent replacements every time, but it is frustrating.
- I've only used it for Paper, so I can't comment on using it with other applications. (Quick tests using Sketchbook Pro and Procreate but no real sketching.)
- Because of the pressure sensitivity, the drawing tools in Paper behave more like their natural counterparts, which is great. The pencil ("sketch") is more like a real pencil. The fountain pen ("draw") is more like my trusty Gillot crow quill: the lines are thicker when you press harder. Same for watercolour ("color"), the blob size depends on how hard or lightly you press your brush on the paper, the opacity depends on speed. So basically, the tools behave more natural, and you have more control.
- You have to make a connection with an app first, but it connects really fast, within one second. Once the connection is made, you don't need to reconnect, unless you want to use the Pogo in combination with a different app. I've read some comments online of people who complain about connection problems. I don't recognize any of these. It just works.
- I don't care much about palm protection, so I can't really say anything about that. It's application dependent. For me, it works fine in Paper, others might find the palm projection in Paper insufficient.
- The nib has a larger diameter than the Bamboo Stylus. Not much, but it's larger. The Pogo Connect has replaceable tips too, just like the Bamboo. They are not cheap: 9.95 USD for a pack with two nibs - I don't know what the shipping costs are. So that's a bit more expensive then the Bamboo, but I don't know how long they'll last, maybe longer then the Bamboo, maybe less. Pogo say they'll come with other kinds of replaceable nibs, but they won't give any details.
- It needs one AAA battery, although it doesn't consume much power.
- You need to switch on Bluetooth on your iPad. This consumes extra power on your iPad.
- The Pogo Connect costs EUR 80. That's more expensive then the Bamboo. And please note it's for iPad 3rd and 4th generation only. If you have an older device, you might be able to use it with certain apps, but check Ten One Design's website for details.
- A clip would have been nice. Or a nice leather cover. Something to protect the nib.
- It's not like a Wacom Intuos or Cintiq (= professional & expensive and not very mobile). But it's a pressure senstive stylus for a iPad (= great for sketching, less expensive and very mobile).
- Conclusion: If you like to draw and/or are used to a pressure sensitive tablet (Wacom Intuos or similar), then you might consider buying the Pogo Connect. Or an instant buy, if you don't mind the relatively high price.
Jot Classic (Adonit)
- The Adonit Jot Classic is - in theory - more precise then the Bamboo, because the Jot Pro has a transparent plastic disc instead of a rubber nib. So it looks like you are using a normal ballpoint pen. This is useful for writing, details or outlines (especially in Paper, where you can't zoom).
- It has a lot more friction then the Bamboo stylus, and is very sensitive for dirt and particles. When I try to use it, it skips constantly, which is very frustrating, especilaly when you are working on details. It's like using a nearly empty pen.
- The pen makes a peculiar tapping noise, as if you are constantly tapping with your fingers on a table. This might annoy others.
- You'll need a screen protector, or you will certainly scratch your screen. And be prepared to replace your screen protector often, about once a month.
- The replacement discs aren't cheap (8 USD for two spare discs) and if you live outside the US, the shipping costs are another 15 USD. That's expensive, compared to the replacement nibs for the Bamboo. Adonit also has different discs for different types of Jot pens, so a mistake is easily made when ordering these discs.
- It hasn't got a clip. But it has a cap, which protects the disc.
- Conclusion: Consider buying this stylus if you'd like to annoy your colleagues in a meeting by making weird tapping noises, without using your fingers. Also, if you need something to scratch your iPad screen, then this is the perfect stylus for you. But a rusty old nail is cheaper.
Overall conclusion:
- I like the Bamboo, and probably keep using it, in combination with the Pogo Connect when I need more control. When Ten One Design introduces other (smaller?) nibs, then the connect might become my primary stylus.
- Update: The Pogo Connect is the best stylus available, but it's fragile. Mine has broken three times now, and others have reported the same issue.

Remember back at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale when the rights to Shelby GT500 #001 sold for $600,000?
Well, yesterday was the day that particular car, in orange with tungsten stripes, rolled off the production line at the AutoAlliance International plant in Flat Rock, MI. Waiting at the end of the line was Carroll Shelby himself, who handed the keys to the winning bidder, Ron Pratte. Proceeds from the auction benefitted the Carroll Shelby Children's Foundation. Carroll also signed the dashboard of GT500 #001 for its new owner, making an already significant car even more special.
StangsUnleashed.com was there, and captured some great photos of the ceremonial handover of the keys, plus a nice series of shots of the production lines themselves. You can't help but get that kid-in-a-candy-store feeling when you look at the lines of GT500 coupes and convertibles in a rainbow of colors. Make sure you check out StangsUnleashed's coverage yourself. You won't be disappointed.
Thanks to reader Omar for the tip!

The 2014 TSX Sport Wagon is the perfect example of Acura giving shoppers a competitive, unique and well-built luxury station wagon for just above $30,000. And what does the market say in response to the only low-roof hauler in a time when Shooting Brake and coupe bodies have never been hotter?
The market yawns, then saunters over to the RDX sitting nearby in the (usually totally empty of humans) Acura showroom floor. A slightly taller ride height and a V-6 engine are available for a few thousand over this classy and nimble TSX Sport Wagon.
For that cash, the RDX brings much, much newer infotainment controls and available AWD that the TSX lacks.
But the RDX is wearing (even worse) looks these days that are like a melted and shrunken MDX. Or maybe a mushed up Starburst candy.
So the RDX solution is not quite as appealing as when the RDX was a spunky turbocharged bandit.
After being outsold by the brand's crossovers by more than twenty to one, the TSX wagon is 100-percent carryover for 2014. Some new pics that are not renderings or a photochop are welcome from Acura , but the TSX is in a holding pattern while Acura tries to define its future strategy.
The TSX Sport Wagon is not alone in offering frugal family transit with great quality and handling. The BMW X1 is a sporty and quick rear- or all-wheel-drive crossover new in America for 2013, while the Mazda CX-5 is even a bit more eager in corners than the Acura .
But for the shopper who really wants to make a wagon envy statement?
Please follow the jump for all the details on the 2014 Acura TSX Sport Wagon.

Electing 6 Board Members
No issues on file for Mary-Anne Benson-Cooper.
- Youth engagement and involvement across the board. Avenues for greater expression of the youth culture.
- A strong, efficient, cheap and fluid transport system spanning over ferries, buses and bicycles.
- Safer, stronger and more open neighbourhoods which promote true community growth and facilities to encourage this.
- Conservation and preservation of natural environment such as beaches, parks and reserves with greater access and visibility of Devonport and Takapuna's natural beauty.
- Takapuna revitalization through consulting on and implementing the Strategic Framework.
No issues on file for Kevin Brett.
- Preserve our Environment
The Devonport-Takapuna area is blessed with beautiful beaches, volcanic cones, parks and lake. We need to preserve and possibly add to these for our use, local and foreign tourism, and future generations. Some infrastructure and growth development is necessary but whether for transport or use by different stakeholders we must seriously consider demand, design, and impact on current residents, business, tourism and future generations. Once spoiled our treasures are lost.
Case in point: A projected ferry wharf for Takapuna Beach.
- Community Identity
Devonport-Takapuna's city, towns and local communities have communally perceived self images. Each area needs to specifically identify and articulate what makes them special and ensure that this becomes a vision that is preserved and adhered to with future development.
Case in point: Resident dissatisfaction with high-rise plans for Milford.
- Complete Projects
Expensive projects have been undertaken without considering how or when the "dots" will be joined.
Case in point: The bus stations need a regular and reliable small bus shuttle service and possibly parking (underground), to work effectively.
- Hasten Access
Devonport-Takapuna is pleased with many aspects of its peninsular isolation but it is heavily dependent upon access to and from Auckland for much of its employment and tourism opportunities.
Case in point: Distant completion time of future harbour crossing.
- Dig Down
To preserve our environment unsightly or intrusive developments should go underground.
Case in point: Car parks and access to Auckland.
- That our local communites within the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board Area retain both their identity and what they value.
- That our communities are vibrant, friendly, caring and safe places to life, work and play
- Fiscal Responsibility-and that the local board's financial envelop is appropriately funded for the responsibilities and functions it is required to carry out.
- That local people can influence what happens in their street and neighbourhood.
- That the new Devonport-Takapuna Local Board is able to make decisions on local issues
No issues on file for Shane Coleman.
- Transport for Everyone
Auckland's transport system makes it slow and expensive to get around. Roads are clogged with traffic, buses are infrequent, ferries are expensive and the trains run late.
Shore Voice believes public transport should be reliable, affordable and frequent, and provide real travel choices, making it easier for people to leave their cars at home.
We will support:
- Introducing a smartcard integrated ticket system
- Extending the Northern Busway to Orewa
- New ferry terminals for Bayswater, Beach Haven and Hobsonville
- Advancing third-crossing tunnel option, future-
proofed for rail
- Improving school bus service
- Safer walking and cycling option
- Completing Auckland's motorways
- Developing a high occupancy vehicle (HOV) network
- Community First
North Shore's natural assets, community values and quality of life are the reasons so many of us choose to live here.
Under the new system, the challenge for elected representatives is to protect the 'jewels' in our communities and all those things that make this a special place to work, rest and play.
We pledge to:
- Preserve our unique community partnership model for the delivery of community services
- Protect and enhance our natural assets: open space, bush reserves and pristine beaches
- Promote sporting activities for all ages as an essential feature of healthy communities
- Preserve our libraries as valued centres for learning and inspiration
- Environment
Economic and social forces have driven the formation of the new Super City. But the quality of Auckland as a place to live, and to invest, is largely due to the quality of its environment.
So it's vital that we protect our most valuable asset, and put it at the heart of our decision-making.
Shore Voice will:
- Ensure a partnership exists between development and conservation
- Improve water quality in our streams and coastal waters through effective stormwater management.
- Ensure our beaches, bush and open spaces remain a priority in future planning.
- Listen to our communities in developing the guiding documents for regional development.
- Create genuine transport options, and ensure people can work close to where they live
- Financial Management
Above all, financial management in local government is about the care of other people's money.
The careful stewardship of council funds is paramount to the Shore Voice candidates. We take that duty seriously.
After all, the local government dollar can only be spent once.
We will:
- Ensure fairness and equity in rating, now and in the future
- Explore non-rates sources of revenue
- Make sure funding decisions are based on community benefit and value for money
- ShoreVoice pledges to act with these interests in mind to protect ratepayers from the potential aggressive effects of generalizing the rating base.

Better communication between community and board. We don't want another case of litigation to force a community boad to listen!
Affordable rates
Accountability for spending
Comprehensive budgeting
Protection from Super City overspending
We don't want a clique with a pre set agenda fast tracking their personal plans & over-riding the people's voice.
Planning for our communities and their futures, not to line the pockets of outside investors.
With New Zealand's largest urban coastline, and a rich creative & sporting heritage our assets are worth protecting & celebrating.
- Waste Minimization This a serious future issue for Auckland as the population grows. Rubbish bags, if replaced by wheelie our rates by $200.00. Currently our waste management charges on our rates are $23.90 (for the street rubbish bins) However Manukau charges $300.00 & gives out bags. Auckland charges $185.00 & a large wheelie.NSCC was the first Council to introduce pay as you go bags & initially decreased the land fill by 46%.
- Public transport. It will grow if it is economical, frequent and well marketed. Currently users are turned off by obscure timetables, confusing services and lack of bus lanes. An efficient transport system will decrease our worst nightmare - traffic congestion. Jan has made many submissions to the Auckland Regional Transport Authority to this effect.As a daily bus commuter she petitioned council while on the Community Board to extend the Esmonde Road bus lane. For many years she gave submissions to Auckland City Council to endeavour to get better facilities in the city for North Shore bus commuters. This is ongoing as she believes both the Birkenhead and Takapuna/Bayswater terminals in the CBD need upgrading.
Ferry tickets prices should include the price of the connection bus. This would lead to less cars being parked all day at terminals and help decongest the connecting roads. The introduction of integrated ticketing is urgently needed.
- A new harbour crossing should be urgently implemented. The harbour bridge clip-ons have only 20 years life in them before major upgrading . The time for talking is well and truly over. Jan believes that tunnels are the only option.
- The cost of the restructuring of the new city has never been fully explained. Taking into account the creation of a single rating system, one district plan, a common set of by-laws, the merging of computer & information systems, billing, payroll and redundancies the cost could rise as much as $300m.
- New Auckland rates will be struck in 2012.
They must be transparent. North Shore ratepayers are not mushrooms to be kept in the dark
The incoming Council must cuts its coat to suit the cloth. Ratepayers must not be looked upon as not milch cows.
- Real travel choices - better public transport and safer walking and cycling.
I will work for improved public transport throughout the local board area.
More frequent off-peak services and integrated ticketing so that you have real travel choices whenever and however you wish to get from A to B.
A ferry terminal at Bayswater which provides all weather protection for ferry users.
An improved Devonport ferry terminal which meets the needs of commuters and visitors to Devonport.
Safer streets - slower speeds and better road design - to make walking and cycling safer and more pleasant options, especially around schools and town centres.
The Local Board will need to work with Auckland Transport to achieve better better public transport and less congested roads across our area.
- Well maintained parks and reserves, clean beaches and streams.
I will work for sports fields and playgrounds that meet the needs of all the community.
Parks and reserves play an important role in connecting our communities through off-road walking and cycling routes.
I will continue to champion improvements to walking and cycling routes and facilities throughout our area.
I will ensure that the gains made by Project Care continue to deliver cleaner, healthier streams and beaches.
- Protection of the unique heritage and character of the many communities which make up the new board area.
I will work to protect heritage buildings and landscapes which rellect the character and history of our many communities.
I will work with local residents' groups to ensure the aspirations and concerns of individual communities are heard.
i will encourage the formation of Neighbourhood Support groups to help create safer communities where people know their neighbours.
- Town centres and neighbourhood hubs developed in accordance with the expectations of local residents and businesses.
I will work to ensure town centre plans, that have community and business support, obtain sufficient funding to be implemented in a timely manner.
I will work with business associations, local residents, and landowners to ensure town centres large and small remain vibrant and viable retail centres meeting the needs of their local communities and contributing to the citywide economy.
- Libraries, arts centres, community centres and other community facilities and community activities that continue to receive sufficient funding to meet the needs of their community.
I will ensure planned community projects receive the funding needed to be progressed in a timely manner.
I will work to ensure community activities continue to receive sufficient funding.
I will champion the needs of young people, older people and people with disabilities in our community.
No issues on file for Kevin Schwass.
No issues on file for Michael Sheehy.
- Promote Strong Leadership
Auckland needs strong leadership both at the local and city levels. I'm prepared to put my hand up for the local Board and to be accountable for what I do.
- Remember who we work for
Local Boards must try and meet the needs of the community they represent. They must be transparent and accountable to the people of our community who must be listened to and their needs responded to.
- Environment and support for local business
Like many people I love what Devonport and Takapuna have to offer in terms of environment, coastline and beaches. These have to be accessible to the public as well as protected from damage and pollution. Local business is important and Local Boards must give as much support as possible to them.
- Delivery of local body services
I will make every effort to ensure that the standard of services delivered to the public is maintained at their current levels, in particular rubbish removal and maintenance of public areas.
- Safety
Devonport and Takapuna are relatively safe areas and we would all like to see them remain this way. I shall do what I am able to see that the resources are available to safeguard our public areas and schools.

Jones visited with Ravens officials over the past couple of days.
Jones, who caught 31 balls for 512 yards and also served as Houston's primary punt returner, was released by the Texans last week. He was due to make $3 million next season in the second year of a three-year pact.
Jones, 27, has caught 127 passes for 1,741 yards and 11 touchdowns in 75 career games. As a punt returner, the speedster has averaged 10.6 yards per return with three touchdowns. He didn't return kickoffs last year, but he has done it in his career, averaging 23.3 yards per kickoff return with one touchdown.
The Ravens also are optimistic about the progress of second-year receivers Tandon Doss and LaQuan Williams, but Jones would give the Ravens a veteran option at the No. 3 wide receiver spot behind Anquan Boldin and Torrey Smith, along with more speed on the outside.
Ironically, Jones may have sealed his fate with the Texans when he fumbled twice, losing one of them in their 20-13 loss to the Ravens in an AFC divisional playoff game at M&T Bank Stadium in mid-January. His muffed punt led to a Ravens' touchdown.

I was plannin' about going to Miami sad because I'm leavin' my neighborhood until Irene got my neighborhood in mess and it's really close to the skyscraper where I live so now I'm going to Miami sadder because I'm leavin' my friends in trouble but I know I can't stop a situation in here. It already ruined our summer-house. But this skyscraper is tight and we live really high, almost at the top of skyscraper so people think it won't be ruined and I agree with them. I just can't wait this to calm down and it will 'cause I believe it will. If I don't come online for a while, just know it is emergency but possibly I'll have internet access in Miami.

|30th Meeting of the Ramsar Standing Committee
Gland, Switzerland, 13-16 January 2004
|Agenda item 9.2
Criteria and Procedures for the COP9 Ramsar Wetland Conservation Award
Actions requested: The Standing Committee is requested to review the attached document and
1. The Award was established by Ramsar COP6 (1997), by Resolution VI.18, as follows:
3. DECIDES to establish the Ramsar Wetland Conservation Award;
4. REQUESTS the Standing Committee to consider the financial implications of this decision and to investigate the operation of the Award, taking into account the following principles:
5. REQUESTS the Standing Committee, if possible, to arrange for the presentation of the Award for the first time at the 7th Meeting of the Conference of the Contracting Parties in 1999 or, if this is not possible, to report to the 7th Meeting of the Conference.
2. The Award was given for the first time at Ramsar COP7 in 1999, and for the second time at COP8 in 2002, in accordance with the Criteria and Procedures adopted by the Standing Committee at its 20th meeting in 1997 and at its 25th meeting in 2000, respectively. In both instances, it was accompanied by the Evian Special Prize (US$ 10,000 per prize).
3. At its 20th meeting, the Standing Committee decided to bestow the Award upon one individual, one government agency, and one non-governmental organization. The Award was accordingly given in 1999 to the Pacific Estuary Conservation Program, Canada (government agency); to Mr V. Pulido, Peru, and Prof. V. Krikenko, Russia (sharing the Award in the "individual" category); and to the Society for the Protection of Prespa, Greece, and the Lake Naivasha Riparian Association, Kenya (sharing the Award in the NGO category).
4. In 2002, the Ramsar Award was given to a private company in Australia (Banrock Station Wines), a government agency in India (The Chilika Development Authority), and a consortium of NGOs in Central Europe (The NGO Trinational Initiative for the Morava-Dyje Floodplain).
COP9 Ramsar Award
5. The attached document contains the draft Criteria and Procedures as suggested for the COP9 Award.
6. As part of the Evian Project, the Danone Group (France) has generously renewed its offer to provide three grants of US$ 10.000.- each to complement the Ramsar Award under the name of "Evian Special Prize".
7. With reference to item 4.b) of Resolution VI.18, it is suggested that the Standing Committee serve as a jury for the Wetland Conservation Award, screening the Secretariat's list of nominations and recommendations and making a decision on the laureates at its 31st meeting.
8. As was done on previous occasions, the Secretariat will distribute widely the Criteria and Procedures (with a nomination form), mainly via its Web site and Ramsar Forum, and on paper when appropriate.
9. The following is the proposed calendar for the Ramsar Award process:
o Posting and mailing of the call for nominations by 31 May 2004, with a deadline for nominations on 30 October 2004;
o Analysis of the candidatures by the Secretariat, to be finalized for submission to the Standing Committee in time for its next meeting;
o Standing Committee acting as the Jury meets and chooses the laureates;
o The Award is presented at the opening of Ramsar COP9 in November 2005.
[Note: This is the draft Criteria and Procedures proposed for the Standing Committee's consideration and NOT the official document -- that will be published once it has been approved by the SC.]

Bethlehem Steel
Last week in Wisconsin: Repeal of equal enforcement, abstinence-only sex ed, and video taped abortion consultations.
Just when you thought you had it beat… SOPA + Homeland Security = CISPA
The victim vehemently insists she was raped, a witness says it appeared she was raped, a doctor says it looks like she was raped, the defendant's semen was even found in the victim's underwear. Former officer Michael Peña fully admits to having sexually assaulted a 24-year old woman last fall, why then was a jury unable to convict him of the charge of "rape?"
Luckily, Peña was found guilty of enough related crimes that he will likely be put away for a long long time. Unfortunately that isn't much comfort to the victim who broke down when the jury first announced that it was deadlocked on the count of rape. Assemblywoman Aravella Simotas is advocating for stronger rape laws which would expand the definition of rape to include forced oral and anal intercourse.
One of the jurors, Lloyd Constantine, an attorney and friend of Manhattan District Attorney, Cy Vance, is said to have drawn the jury's attention to irrelevant details, casting doubt on the victim's credibility. Constantine has also donated to Vance's campaigns.

Towards the middle/end of this video you see police carrying away a young woman. Based on #M24 tweets she is 16 years old. Not posting name to protect her privacy as a minor.
Cops let them lie there for a moment before they moved in to effect arrests.
The family of John Collado was at today's march, using it as a platform to ask for justice in his death. Collado was shot and killed by an undercover police officer making an arrest. It is believed that Collado stepped in to break it up what he mistakenly perceived as an ordinary fight. His loved ones also think the undercover officer never identified himself as a police officer. More on the story available from DNAinfo.com.
This video shows two young women lying down in the middle of a crosswalk during today's march. Right before I started taping some protestors were headed to the crosswalk with two big pieces of orange police-type netting. I really can't say what their intention was with the netting. I think one or both of the young women was involved in whatever that was. I definitely saw one of them clutching one end of the netting before she was grabbed by an officer. That's when I pressed record.
Apologies for the shakiness and the changing angles—that wasn't me being creative. At one point you see that two officers turn to face me, their bodies blocking my lens and line of sight.

Let's talk about MooTools, JQuery's lesser known cousin
Over the years I've come to use a variety of tools to get my job done. First it was javaScript, something I hated. I still hate it today, though we're on speaking terms lately.

But I have looked at MooTools and JQuery. JQuery vs […]

ZIP Codes - Key Concepts
- ZIP Codes are categories for grouping mailing addresses and are not exact geographic regions.
- The centroid of a ZIP Code may be in one County and the associated city/town in another.
- In rural areas, a single ZIP Code may be used for cities and towns in several different Counties.
- ZIP Code "areas" can overlap, be subsets of each other, or be artificial constructs with no geographic area.
- ZIP Codes are only loosely tied to cities.
1 Keeping the above key concepts in mind, what we informally refer to as the "center" of a ZIP Code is most often actually the centroid of a polygon.

Afghanistan must root out corruption and bolster its institutions or risk falling prey to the resource curse, a top economist has said
Afghanistan was yesterday urged to avoid repeating the mistakes made by resource-cursed countries that have failed to reap wider social benefits from the profits.
Its a matter of spending the money transparently on things that benefit ordinary people, in the here and now, said Paul Collier, professor at Oxford University. He called for natural resources to be viewed as an opportunity for countries to transform themselves with their own money.
Collier was speaking at a World Bank seminar about the Natural Resource Charter, a rulebook for governments grappling with natural resource management. It urges transparent tenders, greater accountability and measures to ensure that societies see obvious benefits.
Afghan officials have this year claimed that the country has abundant reserves of metals, minerals and rare earths worth up to $1 trillion. Afghanistan has begun a tender process to foreign companies to submit bids for the extraction of iron-ore deposits in some of the most dangerous parts of the country. After three months a shortlist of candidates will be selected to visit the site and conduct due diligence; a winner would be disclosed in mid 2011.
Omar Zakhilwal, the Afghan finance minister, told Emerging Markets that the government was aware of the need to be alert to mistakes made by other resource-rich countries in the past.
We certainly want to repeat the success. As for the failures, you have to be vigilant, Zakhilwal said. A key focus is to build capacity within the government for oversight of contracts and monitoring of corruption, he added.
Not only is it important to us to negotiate a good deal for Afghanistan, but also we have to make sure that contracts are delivered on, Zakhilwal said.
The finance ministry had managed to double revenue collection from $60 million to more than $130 million per month within the past year and a half.
The government says it will try to include locals in resource extraction by recruiting them into a security force protecting the mines. The technique would also be employed for a proposed $3.3 billion gas pipeline that could one day run through Taliban heartland, from Turkmenistan through to Pakistan and India.
A big question is how costs, and then revenue, would be split between Afghanistan and foreign investors. One possible approach is a version of the model developed for the oil industry in Iraq, as it emerged from conflict.
The Iraqi approach was unusual because oil remains in the Iraqi states hands, in contrast to the US governments plans for an Oil Law which would have handed reserves to foreign companies. The Baghdad government awarded companies service contracts, and agreed to pay them a fee to pump oil for a set price per barrel.
An imminent signing of a $500m loan by Uralkali, the world's largest potash producer, has not convinced bankers that Russia's frozen international loan markets is anywhere near thawing out
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development is staging its annual meeting in Warsaw in a year that marks a number of important anniversaries for Poland, Eastern Europe and for the EBRD itself
The Russian government's decisive moves in annexing Crimea and fomenting unrest in the Ukraine have fuelled fears among neighbouring states with large Russian-speaking populations
A leading politician in Georgia last night condemned Russia's annexation of Crimea and intervention in Ukraine as fears mounted among other small CEE states, notably Lithuania and Estonia, that Moscow could take fresh steps to intervene in countries with large Russian speaking populations
Greek high yield booms
The EBRD will take on Libya as a member this week but analysts are warning that the multilateral may be biting off more than it can chew
Infrastructure bonds are one possibility because it provides an opportunity for long-term investors like pension funds and life assurance companies.

Alpha Air Jordan 1 for Spring 2010
Does the Alpha Air Jordan 1 look familiar? We gave our readers a early preview of the Alpha Air Jordan 1 back in June, so these images should ring a bell. For their 25th Anniversary, Jordan Brand took the shoe that started it all, the Air Jordan 1 and upgraded the iconic silhouette.
The air sole unit was replaced with a full-length Zoom Air bag which is covered by a phylon midsole. JB also took the no-sew overlay approach and added perforated inlays. The Alpha Air Jordan 1 features a mesh ankle unit which is similar to the Air Jordan XX3. Four colors of the Alpha Jordan 1 will drop Spring 2010 for $125.
Is the Alpha Jordan 1 futuristic enough for you?

That airbag crap that Nike is doing now is awful, judging from what I've read. I was reading reviews of the Air Max +2009s, and apparently the "airbag" blows out with regular use. It's a stupid technology to put in running shoes, if it's that unstable. In a game like basketball it would be even worse. Like getting a flat tire on your foot.
why don dey jus come out wit da original red/white/& black 1s instead of wastin tym on dese things
dont diqq them at all!
Good job on the 1′s JB. Something to hoop in at the 24 besides my Hyperize.
@ converse king
actually its lunar foam from kobe4/hyperdunk/hyperize that gets flat not the zoom. if its midsole is zoom then its not lunar foam = def cop
seen em in person…. both og colorways are copped… zoome air, padded heel,=new hoop shoe for me!
Are these mid's or Hi's ? I might cop if they were hi's but they look kinda midish.
I am not playing Ball in AJ 1′s! I don't care if they put Pamela Anderson's Airbags in them………
these are trash. wtf tho?
Can somebody please explain why JB has and continues to release so many 1′s? I love 1′s but I think they need to slow down.
Might cop. Def don't like the midsole but what r u gonna do? The upper is nice tho.
nice upgrades to an ol school classic. Definately gonna cop a pair of the black/red/white colorway…wouldnt use em to hoop in though
these are gross…
i hope nike stops wit dis madness soon cause they messin up a classic shoe, which r my favorites!!! SMH
EXCELLENT! They need to drop some more neutral oriented CW's and then it's a pick-up for sure! The style of the 1 with zoom air ball-ability!!!
Nike can you please stop messin up a classic
i understand why they are updating the 1′s but i dont think i'll be copping any of these, i do need some red/white 1′s though…
leave all the classics alone! no more fusions or any of these lame asss kicks
I'm sorry, but these pieces of crap doesn't deserve the infamous AJ Wings on the side at all….
disgusting, the whole shoe looks f'ed up
Nah FAIL!
these are actually kinda nice they look like more duriable aj1 to me wouldnt mind buying these … but i highly doubt it with all the hot stuff comin out at that time
I'm all about these. I never picked up a pair of 1′s because anything over a size 10 and you look like a clown because they flatten out so much. I'm 11.5 and these will maintain some shape in the forefoot and toebox… plus, you can actually ball in these. They need a more neutral mainstream CW though.
pass like bad gas…..
these are mids not highs, mids have 8 eyelets(holes you put the laces through) highs got 9. i dont really like mids but the carolina CW looks decent
I'm not really keen on the soles but the color schemes are nice.

"I just picked up offer number three from Iowa State," Kenney reported earlier this morning.
The Cyclones join in-state rival Iowa and Indiana on his offer list. His father, David Kenney Sr. says today's news came from the head man himself.
"Coach Paul Rhodes, the head coach at Iowa State offered David personally."
Kenney Sr. says another school jumped in this week with a visit invitation, but his son is a man of his word.
"Michigan just popped out said they want him to come up for the game this weekend against Ohio State, but he's already committed to Indiana-Purdue game and Dave wants to keep his word."
Kenney has already been to Iowa, Indiana, Illinois and Notre Dame for summer camps and game visits this fall.

With the advent of the latest legendary being unlocked, it got me thinking. In the print manual that comes with Vanilla it states that their is one type of item superior then Legendary-Artifacts. It also states that they are limited to just (1) per realm, and none are in the game yet. Am I mistaken on this or is this yet another thing from Vanilla that never got implemented? And if they have, what are they?

The schedule was not correct after the first missed port and canceled show so you just had to walk around and see what was going on.
Staff was friendly as always, and food was good but you could see the cutbacks in the food from earlier cruses.
We had one bad experience at Harry's steak house. The food was good but I thought the steak was a little dried out and not any better the main dining room. It was a very fancy setting and a lot of staff to serve you. The cook came by and introduced himself and said he would stop by after we ate. Then desert came we decided to split a chocolate sampler. I got the the last item and discovered a stringy item I thought was some sort of spice only to discover it was a big black hair in the desert.
Camp Carnival was great and out 6yr did not want to leave. Chair and seat hogs still about with the crew turning a blind eye as always. We noticed one day someone had tied four lounges together with personal beach towels next to the pool at noon. And at 8:30pm after lunch they were still empty and tied together. Everyone was too nice to use them or untie them and toss the towels in the trash.
Wet sauna was not working the day I went. just kind of warm and muggy not real hot. And the hot tubs were as cool as the pools.
The DVD they are selling has very little of the current cruise. Most of it is other cruises not like it used to be.

Civil War Boston
Excitement and interest in the 150th anniversary of the Civil War is sweeping the country. Learn about Boston's central role in the war that transformed the nation. Boston was the Hub of Abolitionism, as anti-slavery Bostonians, inspired by the legacy of liberty of the American Revolution, were determined to honor and extend that legacy to include freedom for slaves. When war came, Bostonians played a leading role in the Union war effort, and the first black regiment recruited in the North was formed in Boston.
Barbara F. Berenson is the author of Boston and the Civil War: Hub of the Second Revolution and Walking Tours of Civil War Boston: Hub of Abolitionism.

A journalists view on the Continental GT Speed
'Few cars can have been more aptly named than the Bentley Continental GT Speed'. Read the view of The Sun journalist, Ken Gibson, on the Continental GT Speed.
The simple addition of Speed to the name tells you everything you need to know about what this Bentley is all about.
In a world that has gone overboard on political correctness, speed has almost become an ugly word, instead of something to be savoured.
The simple fact is that motorists have had a love affair with speed throughout the history of the automobile.
Indeed this most modern of Bentley's takes its inspiration from the 1920's Speed models, that laid the foundation for Bentley's reputation for providing thoroughbred racing cars and saloons.
The Continental GT has already been the model that transformed Bentley from a car firm living on past glories, into once again being one of motoring super powers.
But the GT Speed takes Bentley onto another level of super car performance and hard edged driving ability aimed at satisfying enthusiasts wanting outright power and speed.
What the Speed also does is underline the outstanding skills of Bentley's team of highly gifted engineers, who have not only delivered the exceptional power and handling, but also managed to retain a smoothness and comfort that is a very special combination.
The awesome 6 litre W12 engine gets an extra 15 percent more torque and nine percent more power to give it 600 bhp of sheer motoring muscle.
The result is blisteringly quick acceleration through the gears that sees 0-60 mph disappear in a blur of 4.3 seconds. And the countryside flashes into the distance equally dramatically as 0-100 mph takes just 10.3 seconds. while top speed breaks the magical 200 mph barrier.
Of course what the figures don't tell you is how intoxicatingly wonderful the Speed sounds, a deep thunderous bellow that could have come direct from the devil.
Speed can be a dangerous commodity without the right handling and brakes to cope with it, and once again the Bentley engineers, led by Ulrich Eichhorn, have worked their magic to make the car even more stable at high speeds and the braking to match.
They have lowered the ride height, stiffened the chassis, improved the suspension and added special Pirelli tyres, exclusively designed for the Speed, that together with the car's four wheel drive system give the car incredible levels of grip.
And to maximise the car's potential there is a Dynamic Mode in the electronic stability programme, that cuts in later than the other driver settings.
The Continental GT has always been a head turning coupe but people will know you are in something extra - special in the Speed, thanks to a dark chromed matrix radiator grille, fabulous 20 inch alloys and twin rifled oval tailpipes.
Inside the level of luxurious opulence is raised even higher, with quilted leather hide finishes to the sports seats facings, doors and rear quarter panels, alongside the classic Bentley mix of wood and chrome that gives the car a truly aristocratic feel.
You also get unique door tread plates, embroidered Bentley emblems in the seat facings, a multi-functional three spoke steering wheel, a beautifully crafted gearlever finished in knurled chrome and drilled alloy pedals.
The Speed in many ways epitomises the exceptional new modern generation of Bentley cars', a range of which W 0 Bentley himself would have been proud of.

FORT PIERCE - It's 2 p.m. on a sunny afternoon in June and a cool breeze from the Indian River Lagoon occasionally breaks through the warmth in Fort Pierce.
But even though it's officially summer, there are 16 students who are spending their days doing more than just relaxing.
One of them is Areen Williams, who won't be found by the pool or at the movies. She's busy filing and doing other administrative tasks at Fort Pierce City Hall. Areen, who is going into the 11th grade at Fort Pierce Central in August, is one of the 389 applicants who was hired to fill one of 16 positions in this year's eight-week summer work program.
"This is the second year of the program," said Tony Barnes, purchasing director for Fort Pierce and one of the organizers of the program. "Last year, we hired 12 and it was so successful we decided to do it again."
Dakota Lawrence, an incoming 12th grader at Fort Pierce Westwood High School, works counseling younger children at the Fort Pierce Police Athletic League.
"I love it," she said of the program. "It's great working with the kids."
Every year, money is set aside in the city's budget to hire temporary workers over the summer, when a majority of city staff go on vacation. Last year, it was suggested the city use the money to hire young people to fulfill the same responsibilities, and the Summer Youth Employee Program was created. The students work full-time for $10 an hour for the internship.
"There are summer camps for the younger children, but nothing is really there for the young adults," Mr. Barnes said. "This program keeps them productive, and they can use the internship to guide what they want to do in the future."
Areen works in the finance department and is grateful for the opportunity.
"I was lucky to be part of the internship," she said. "My major is computer science, but I believe this will help my career."
A committee tried to match the students, ages 16 through 21, to their interests. The applicants are working in other departments such as public works, administration, the police department and the housing authority.
The hardest part, Mr. Barnes said, was limiting the selection to only 16 applicants.
"Each and every one was deserving," he said. "We hope to be able to open it up to more students next year."

- brought more friendsGoldiDined on 9/28/2014All was lovely but I was the only one who did not like my dinner; crab caprese. It was cold and mushy.Everyone else liked their meals. I would suggest not putting the cold mozzarella on the warm crab cake.Special Features:
- You will go more than onceFAROUKDined on 9/28/2014My wife and I already went twice. We are not from the area. We found it while we were walking. No restaurant could beat their Sunday special deal. 3 courses for $19.95. The kitchen seems doing a great job. Everything we had was delicious. We will be there with friends next Sunday. The service is excellent. I recommend D42 to anybody who loves food and ask for Safia. She knows her job.Special Features:

- Excellent Food and ServiceSantaFeRetireeDined on 9/28/2014We went for the Sunday night Prix Fixe dinner and was very pleasantly surprised. Soup, entree and dessert for $20. Good selection of entrees, chicken, meats and vegetarian. Some upcharges for lamb and steak but still very reasonable. Portions are good and the service is professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.Special Features:
- Excellent in every wayWannabefoodieDined on 9/27/2014Me and my husband were celebrating his birthday & we were not disappointed.

The food, wine & service were excellent! Can't wait to go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointed Dinner for Twofoodie924Dined on 9/27/2014The ambiance was wonderful and set our expectations high. We were so disappointed. Our server was scattered and forgetful. Brought another tables appetizer to us, forgot my husbands salad and then gave him a salad fork with his steak!!?? My Beef Stroganoff was tender and delicious, but hardly any noodles. My husband filet was mediocre. And the Salted Caramel Cheesecakes crust was soggy and the taste odd. Very disappointing.Special Features:

- sparkyDined on 9/19/2014My husband and I went with our friends to celebrate my birthday. As usual, the food was incredible. They take a lot of pride in making and serving the BEST food possible. The ambiance was delightful--- really nice live guitar music playing in the background that did not make it difficult to have an intimate conversation with friends. My husband and friends had the wild salmon, which they absolutely loved, and I had the beef stroganoff, which was to die for! Very tender and delicious.

- Maybe an off eveningDiscriminatingTasteDined on 9/7/2014Waiter was indifferent and from the moment we sat down appeared anxious for us to leave. How can service be poor when there are only eight people in the restaurant? Ran out of all seafood dishes and offered a substitute which was popcorn shrimp - just like the kind you get from Popeyes. Chicken was drowning in a bland brown sauce. Over five days, have eaten in some wonderful Santa Fe restaurants. This was not among them.
- Client loved it and so did IImpressmeDined on 9/7/2014The service was impeccable and the menu imaginative. I selected it for a business dinner with a client and colleague.

- Always wonderfuldcfoodieVIPDined on 8/28/2014We have dined several times at this restaurant and find it reliably delicious. The portions are a bit larger than we like, but that makes for excellent leftovers. My husband selected the prime rib, a beautiful cut and perfectly prepared medium. The house made onion bread was a scrumptious accompaniment. I had the potage, a very flavorful bean and basil stew with fresh mozzarella, and a side of the snap peas. We were too full for dessert but there were several tempting choices that night. Our server, Louise, was superb. She was friendly but also very professional. We got to observe a table side preparation of the house Caesar salad and were amazed at the detailed and labor intensive ritual (looked delicious, too!)Special Features:

- Santa Fe GemHeymrd1313Dined on 8/20/2014This unique, intimate restaurant has so many delicious treats that it is hard to name just a few. I had the cherry soup (cold) that was wonderful. My husband liked the taste of his French Onion soup and thought the presentation was unique The table bread has the lightest crust and texture I have ever experienced. The main course was veal in a marvelous Marsala sauce and my husband had a Filet Mignon which was very flavorful. The restaurant is a family-owned business with Mom seating everyone and making all deserts, Dad makes that delicious bread and the Son is a gourmet, up-and-coming chef. If you are in the area, this is a gem you shouldn't miss. It is small but well worth a visit.Special Features:

We left this restaurant marveling at the quality of the food created by Clay the chef and the lovely music, service and atmosphere. Clay was overwhelmed with work the evening we dined there, and still maintained great balance and friendliness to customers. the guitarist was excellent, and responded to our love of the great Ruben Romero with renditions of famous nuevo flamenco songs. This place certainly provides quality for the money, and then some.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- DisappointedSantaFeFoodieDined on 8/14/2014We had a sublime dining experience in July 2013. Could hardly wait to get back there this year. It was Thursday, Prime Rib night. I love Prime Rib. My husband had Veal Picatta which was good. The wine recommendation was great. I ordered the Prime Rib, Medium Rare. It came out way overcooked, (well done) and was stringy and tough. The waiter took it back and brought me another piece which was medium, but it was still stringy and not at all tender like prime rib should be. The vegetables were perfect. Potato's good too. Based on our experience this year we have crossed Dinner for Two off our list when we are in Santa Fe.Special Features:
- A great experience.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/10/2014As Londoners, new to Santa Fe, we were lucky to be recommended to try Dinner for Two by our driver. From the time we arrived to a warm welcome, the service was outstanding and the food matched it. Managing to fit in a second visit during our short stay, we were astonished to find the Sunday Special menu at only $19 - amazing value. Not to be missed!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner for Two a Santa Fe gemAustummyDined on 8/3/2014How could I have waited so long to try this incredible place! The 3-course $19. Sunday dinner is a steal, but the the regular nightly menu is also quite reasonable. The gifted guitarist on the weekends is an added treat. Great food, great staff, great choice-go!Special Features:
- Perfect!GururuVIPDined on 8/3/2014Four of us celebrated a birthday at Dinner for Two on a Sunday. We'd forgotten that on Sunday evenings they offer a $19 flat rate that includes choice of 2 soups, an entree and dessert. Three of us had a creamy mushroom soup that all agreed was wonderful. One had a cold cherry-ginger soup that was superb. Each of us had a different entree and there were plenty of "ummmm" and "oohhhh" sounds as we thoroughly enjoyed them. To top it off, free live classical guitar musical. We're long-time locals (35 years) and have been eating at Dinner for Two since they opened 13 years ago. It has a classy atmosphere and everything is cooked or baked by the family who owns it. We'll keep going back.Special Features:

- Thoughtless seatingpounce44Dined on 7/31/2014Chose this place for our 21st anniversary dinner. The individual seating us knew this in advance and asked our preference in seating, and even suggested an out-of-the-way spot that would be quiet and romantic. Then, 15 minutes later, she proceeded to seat a table of four (what happened to "Dinner for Two"?) loud out-of-staters right next to us who proceeded to talk and laugh so loudly that we could hardly concentrate on what we were eating, much less enjoy a quiet conversation. We hurried through our meal and didn't stay for dessert as we had intended since we knew we'd be unable to enjoy it. The restaurant was far from full that night so there was no need for this situation.
- Great service and foodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/31/2014We went to Dinner for Two before attending the SFe Opera. We had excellent service (we let the server know we needed to leave by a particular time) but never felt rushed. Our server went out of his way to make sure everything went smoothly. What a great date place!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Shambhala Vajrayana practitioners are warmly invited to practice together in the context of Acharya Emily Bower's visit to Boston and the ''Shambhala Principle: A Day of Retreat & Exploration" program. This is an auspicious opportunity for Primordial Rigden Ngöndro, Werma Sadhana, and Scorpion Seal Assembly students to practice intensively.
Along with group practice sessions, on Saturday, we will have opportunity for self-directed study, and breakout discussion groups for each practice. Sunday, we will study with Acharya Bower, with discussions and presentations focused on the theme of Acharya Bower's program: how our Vajrayana practices might help us relate to society as basically good. Acharya Bower will focus specifically on Shambhala terma and the Shambhala Vajrayana view of creating enlightened society.
