Hi, I get hundereds of event ID 537 during daytime in the security log of our SBS Server 2003 (german version) with the statuscode 0x80090308 and substatuscode 0x0. A search with google gave me some hints, that this problem could be related to Trend Micro Worry Free Business Security 6.0. The solutions provided did not helpyet. I did a fresh install of the trend WFBS 6.0 last weekend without success. Could you please help me, how I could pinpoint the workstation and the service causing the problem? The eventlog does not show which workstation or service is causing the faild login. I am even not shure if Trend Micro is the real problem. Virus should not be the source of the problem. We did a scan of every workstations with third party antivirus software, just to exclude it. The problem starts during daytime, when the employees start to work and ends in the evening. So I concluded the problem might be a workstation. The error repeats itself every few minutes in bursts of say 5 to 6 attempts. This gives me about 7'000 entries in the security log a day. Any hints how to pinpoint the culprit workstation an service will be highly appreciated Regards Simon Ereignistyp: Fehlerüberw.

New equality guidelines issued by the federal government could force employers to hire more workers with criminal backgrounds.
Companies are warned about rejecting minority applicants who have committed a felony or other offense by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in their guidelines.
The EEOC advise to companies who have a policy that excludes people for employment based on criminal records is to get rid of or change the policy. The changes are being applauded by those who've noted that in many cases, a felony conviction becomes a life sentence, increasing crime due to the inability of convicted felons to find jobs or support their families after a period of incarceration.

December 31, 2010 marked the completion of Groener's second three-year term as President of ESTA (2005-2010) and the beginning of his statutory role as 'Immediate Past President' which includes serving as the Chair of the Ethics Committee. Following the untimely death of David Taylor last January, Groener was asked by Chair Eddie Raymond to complete Taylor's term of office as Vice Chair, which ends on December 31, 2011. Out of respect for David (his friend and colleague) Groener accepted this responsibility. He has decided to seek re-election so that he can continue to support the many efforts to successfully merge ESTA (the Entertainment Services and Technology Association) and PLASA and because he strongly feels that his efforts and experience can help to make a positive difference for both our association and our industry. He is a former Chair of the Technical Standards Committee and the recipient of the 2002 Eva Swan Award for his remarkable service to ESTA over many years.
Balloting will be open for PLASA members from October 1-31.
Before joining A.C.T Lighting in May, Groener served as President of Tim Hunter Design, LCC in Stamford, Connecticut, a creative design firm offering a full range of media and experiential design, production and implementation. Earlier, he served in several roles within PRG where he worked on numerous integration projects including Harrah's Resort in Atlantic City, The Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas and Radio City Music Hall, Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall and the CNN Studios at Time Warner Center, all in New York City.
Groener has also held key positions with Color Kinetics, Barbizon, elliptipar and Strand Lighting. Several years ago, he was the principal and sole owner of BGr + A, a sales agency covering the metro New York area that was dedicated to meeting the diverse lighting needs of the theater, television, film and architectural markets.
In addition to his management experience, Groener has professional design expertise as a show lighting designer at WED Enterprises, now Walt Disney Imagineering, where he did architectural and theatrical lighting design at EPCOT Center, Walt Disney World and Disneyland. He also has served in both technical director and designer/consultant roles for a number of theatrical companies and at his alma mater, the University of California, Santa Barbara. On the teaching side Groener was Assistant Professor/Technical Director at the Department of Theatre at Williams College, Williamstown, Massachusetts.
Groener has B.A. and M.A. degrees from the University of California at Santa Barbara and has attended post-graduate classes at the London Business School and Harvard Business School.
Groener is an active member of several industry associations, including USITT, IESNA, SEGD and TEA. He also serves on the Board of Directors for the ESTA Foundation and the Southern CT Chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A lawyer for Britney Spears' father told jurors Friday that the singer's family went to heroic efforts to save her during a well-chronicled public meltdown that included shaving her head and other bizarre behavior.
Spears' father, Jamie, in particular went to great lengths, attorney Leon Gladstone said during opening statements in the trial of a lawsuit Spears' former manager Sam Lutfi has brought against Spears and her parents.
Gladstone said Spears' life began to spiral out of control after a painful breakup with childhood sweetheart Justin Timberlake.
Jamie Spears worked tirelessly, Gladstone said, to rescue his daughter from drug addiction, mental illness and the hold that Lutfi had on her during that time.
Gladstone told of Jamie Spears' going to the hospital where his daughter was in a psychiatric ward, staying up with her all night and trying to bring her back to normalcy.
"To Jamie, this is a battle for life or death, and Britney is at her most vulnerable," Gladstone said.
He told of another day that Jamie Spears rushed to a hospital, where he found Britney strapped to a gurney, screaming and yelling. "She is completely unhinged. He stays with her, walking the floor. He is scared out of his mind. He's thinking, 'My daughter has lost everything.'"
The attorney said Jamie Spears expected to turn on the TV one day and learn that his daughter had died.
During this period, Gladstone said, Lutfi was of no help. Jamie Spears confronted Lutfi in the kitchen of Britney's house and told him "leave my daughter alone, get out of our lives."
"And at that point Jamie touched Lutfi. For that, Jamie is being sued for battery," Gladstone said. He said Lutfi was not hurt and was out that night with Britney.
Gladstone added that when Jamie Spears went to court and asked for conservatorship of his daughter it was immediately granted and remains in effect.
Jamie Spears and Britney's mother, Lynne, sat in the courtroom listening to the opening statements.
Another lawyer, Joel Boxer, who represents the conservators of the star, described Lutfi as a man who exploited his friendship and trust with her and styled himself as her manager when he knew nothing of the business. Boxer said that during a deposition, Lutfi was asked how he knew about the world of music, and he said, "It's something you learn by osmosis living in LA."
Lutfi never told Spears' lawyers or her business manager that he was in charge of her affairs, never arranged any business deals for her, and now claims he's entitled to 15 percent of her gross income during his tenure as manager, Boxer said.
"He was a destructive voice in her life. Sam Lutfi tried to take advantage of a very vulnerable Britney Spears," Boxer told the jurors. "Whether he gets away with it is a chapter written by you, ladies and gentlemen."
During his opening statement on Thursday, Lutfi's lawyer said his client never took advantage of Spears.
Lutfi himself was trying to help Spears, attorney Joseph Schleimer told jurors, but lost control as her behavior became more troublesome and she was eventually hospitalized and put under a court-ordered conservatorship.
Lutfi is seeking millions of dollars from Spears and her family, claiming a book her mother wrote detailing that time lied about him drugging and isolating the pop superstar. He is also seeking a portion of Spears' profits from her recording career, claiming he was a key player in her 2007 album "Blackout" and had the right to serve as her manager for years.
The case is the culmination of years of acrimony between Lutfi and Spears' family and conservators, who successfully obtained a restraining order against him to keep him from contacting the singer or trying to intervene in her life. The order has expired, but conservatorship attorneys are seeking repayment for more than $93,000 in legal fees — a judgment Lutfi is appealing.
Lutfi sued in February 2009, roughly a year after Spears was hospitalized and placed under the conservatorship to take control of her health and finances. The move by Jamie Spears came after months of erratic behavior by his daughter, including shaving her head, speaking in a British accent, attacking a car with an umbrella and other bizarre incidents. She also lost custody of her two sons with ex-husband Kevin Federline during that time.
Jurors aren't expected to hear from Spears during the trial. She remains under the conservatorship, which is overseen by a judge who has ordered her not to appear for trial or a deposition.
She has since made a remarkable comeback and is a judge on the Fox television show "The X-Factor."

US mortgage and foreclosure law
A mortgage is an exchange of a collection of rights between a borrower and a lender. In this article, we describe those rights and explain both their economic logic and their implications for economic analysis and policy. We briefly discuss the medieval origins of the American mortgage contract and its evolution into its present form. We then turn to topics relevant for contemporary economic research – including title and lien theory; recording and registration of documents; judicial versus power-of-sale foreclosure; deficiency judgments and recourse; assignments; the Mortgage Electronic Registration System; and methods for avoiding foreclosure, including deeds-in-lieu and short sales. Our discussion focuses on real property law and its economic implications; we do not discuss, for example, securities law related to mortgage contracts.

Reply to: | My guess is it is Wen Na by Ylva |
I invite you to play around a little with a Chinese dictionary, e.g. the one at:
http://www.mandarintools.com/chardict_u8.htmlIf you enter "wen" in the box for "Pinyin lookup" and then click the button "Search by Pinyin" the large number of results will quickly tell you that a statement like "wen means culture" is not wrong, but certainly misleading as "wen" can mean culture and about two dozen other things. (Maybe, as a speaker of English and seeing this, one immediately asks oneself how such a language can work at all!)
What is interesting: The Cantonese lookup for "wen" does not give any results. Of course this could have all kinds of reasons, among them: incomplete dictionary, wrong Romanization of the name in question, or the mother of the poster being Cantonese but carrying a Mandarin middle name after all.
As a already said in my first posting: This exercise, given only the information "Wenna, Chinese", is quite futile.

how to freeze fresh green beans!
hello, tend friends! this morning i have been busily working around the farm with a renewed sense of peace & an abundance of energy!
i thought i would stop by this morning & share our favorite (& quickest!) way to preserve green beans from the garden. on tuesday, abby shared some of her favorite ways to prepare the sometimes overwhelming haul from the garden & also asked for favorite ways to preserve green beans.
our trick is freezing!
when we purchased the farm, my parents gifted us a bit of money to purchase a freezer chest. we are so thankful they did! we have already filled it up with homemade chicken stock, pesto, tomato sauce, tomato soup, bell peppers, corn on the cob, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries & so much more!
we also added four gallons of green beans to the freezer. luke harvested the last of our green beans earlier last week (a wonderful surprise given we rarely have green beans this late in the summer season!) & we were very surprised to fill four baskets of those delicious beans. instead of crossing our fingers in hopes that we would eat that many throughout the next handful of weeks, we set aside a little over an hour & processed our garden bounty!
how to freeze green beans:
1. depending on the size of your harvest, fill an appropriately-sized pot with water & bring to a boil.
2. while you are waiting for your water to boil, wash all of your green beans thoroughly. chop off the end where the green bean was attached to the plant.
3. once your water is boiling & all of your beans are cleaned & chopped, add them to the pot of boiling water. depending on the amount of beans you have, keep them in the water for 3-5 minutes. you will know the beans are ready once they turn a bright green color but remain fairly hard instead of limp.
4. once your beans have finished boiling, place them in a bowl of freezing water until the green beans have fully cooled.
5. transfer your beans to plastic freezer bags. (tip: if you have a bit of extra time, you can place them on a cookie sheet & freeze before placing them in the bag to prevent the beans from sticking to each other.)
don't forget to label your bag!
cook & enjoy during the winter! we love seasoning our green beans in a bit of bacon drippings with salt & pepper.

Preferences for redistribution and inequality in well-being across Europe
The paper provides measures of inequality in individual well-being by using a normative multidimensional approach. A distinctive contribution of the study is to consider heterogeneous inequality aversion parameters, estimated on the basis of country-specific tax structures. The empirical analysis is carried out for 26 European countries and focuses on three crucial dimensions of individual well-being: income, health and education. Results highlight how this approach provides a flexible and transparent analytical tool which allows explicitly accounting for social preferences about inequality tolerability and well-being dimensions in the design and assessment of redistributive policies.

A curiosity of mine!
I think we all have at the very least ONE character or concept that we swear that we WILL do no matter what.
Regardless of money, public opinion, or even weather at the timne of the intended con, we all have a costume we absoloutley must do.
So which is it for you?
Who do you want to cosplay, why do you want to cosplay that person and what are you willing to do for it?
Or maybe you've already done it, completed your Dream cosplay? Tell us all about it!
Have you completed one dream cosplay and moved on to another?
It can be any number of "MUST DO" cosplays, or even just one, but I want to know what the special ones are, and what is it that makes them so special!

I finished Thane and I felt amazing in him- that Suave Assasin brought me Raphael Sbarge and Kimberly Brooks to sign my phone and a copy of something as well, But there's always room for improvements and whilst that Cosplay is your dream, you've always got to build on your dreams to make them reality. So Thane is complete but, he's as some would say " a glass half full" to go. But as a bucket list goes- there's a couple, one of which I know will earn me my pride. Well...two. Both Aeons from FFX, Bahamut and Final Aeon Jecht... ;_; eventually I will |

Manjou Joined: 25 Jul 2007 Posts: 81 | My dream cosplay has always pretty much been Raziel from Soul Reaver but upon completing Garrus it's made me want to go into much more complex fields of special FX costuming ^^; To this end not only is Raziel a dream cosplay now so is a animatronically controlled Mordin Solus ^^;
Along with a suit of berserker armour that actively bleeds XD Everytime I think I've reached a new high with a big project it just seems to push me onto something even more complicated XD __________________ Lost as in a dream I seek the shadow Of one who has Swirled away...

Lady Loki from Marvel comics. I plan to wear her for Ayacon 2013 (might be the last convention I can go to in awhile) and it's essentially fur, leather, leather, fur, some more leather, silks, you get the picture. MADNESS! Also, Darunia from Legend of Zelda. I want to do him properly, but I don't think I have talent. Although, I have him planned for a Zelda OoT group for May Expo. |

KuroStylr Joined: 01 Aug 2008 Posts: 194 | I have had 3 cosplays on my list since I started way back when. One of which I managed to do about 2 years ago which was Kuja from FF9. It wasn't great but I loved doing it!
Naturally I want to do the next step which is his Trance version. This I've been planning for YEARS! I mean I have at least one note book full of details on wigs, make-up the lot, its like a proper obsession! So I'm pitching it for October expo. I figure sod it- what's the point of it staying on a list unless you don't have the balls to do it! The other one would be the Rahxephon mecha. Love the show, love the characters and mostly love the mecha. Thing about dream cosplays are if you keep them as dreams they're great, but make sure when you do them that you put the utmost into them or you feel a bit fail- did a bit in kuja but won't in trance! |

White Tigress Joined: 09 Feb 2008 Posts: 596 | Sailor Jupiter. Even before I knew what cosplay was I always wanted to dress up as her
As soon as I started cosplay I always did say I would cosplay her but when I began people were saying that SM costumes were a pain to get to look right and she was one of these projects I'd rather wait until I am ready. And only last week...I brought the first piece of fabric for her and it my current project for a group for J-CultureCon and some of my friends are cosplaying from the series too so I jumped in right away as soon as I found out ^___^ My other 2 bucket costume ideas are General Beatrix from FF9 and Dark Woods Circus Miku Hatsune. Also Azalyn from Irresponsible Captain Tylor but that should hopefully happen right after Jupiter as the series will be turning 20 very soon so thought it be fun to celebrate that __________________ Alcon 2016 |

LinkyLex Joined: 23 Jul 2011 Posts: 218 | There are sooo many costumes I'd love to do.
But the one I absolutely must do is Princess Zelda in her Twilight Princess design, but it's gonna take a lot of practice before I make that! Twilight Princess Link was the other main one, but it was also my first costume and I'm working on a new one now too, so I don't think it really counts XD __________________ - Zeruda no Densetsu ♥ I've had a good day doing things the wrong way! ♫ Gamers/Cosplayers!

Squiddley Joined: 13 Mar 2011 Posts: 21 | My dream cosplay was always Princess Garnet's white gown. I just wanted to do it for so long. And I finally did it for Kitacon IV! Over 200 hours of embroidery went into it, there were quite a few all-nighters pulled and a lot of frustration over it, but it felt so amazing to finally wear it, like a proper princess (and I decided that if I ever get married, it's going to be my wedding dress. No regrets xD). But I'm definitely not done with it yet!
But I'll hopefully be moving onto my next dream cosplays soon. Merrill's 'Raiments of the Dalish Pariah' romance outfit and Lady Loki. I have never ever worked with armour before but I am so excited to get started! Merrill's outfit is just...amazing. It's so crazily detailed and so so pretty, I really love it. (I've also never seen anyone cosplay it before, sooo yeah xD) For Lady Loki I'm dead set on making scale armour for it. Not a full body deal, but the top part of her outfit, definitely. Working with more leather (which was what killed me the first time with default Merrill guh) and embroidery, because I love embroidery (: I'm so looking forward to both of them. |

Deathblow_Prime Joined: 05 Feb 2011 Posts: 363 | My absolute dream cosplay is Luca Blight from Suikoden 2 but I'd admit that due to it being armour and me not having a clue (hell, I'm only just getting the hang of sewing XD all I've made so far is a coat) it's probably not going to happen, even getting it commissioned will cost a lot.
Slightly more realistically I'd like to cosplay Lulu from Final Fantasy X. Or one of Leknaat's outfits from the Suikoden series (both of which will be a while in the future though when I know more about what I'm doing ) Last edited by Deathblow_Prime (05 Jun 2012 - 13:37) |

I'd like to do some armour cosplays. On the list would be Lunatic from Tiger and Bunny and Teresa of the Faint Smile from Claymore. |

My track is probably more along the lines of Shonen Ai then. The most intimate things are just basically kisses and petal-heavy hugs. O_O I just always called it yaoi/yuri and didn't know there was a difference.

Gaborone Reviews
Laid back city. The people and Botswana Immigration Officials are not explicitly friendly to tourists. The road signs are few and confusing. There is a need for tourist agencies and literature even at the border. Botswana and Gaborone can do a lot more to attract tourists. The infrustructure is okay, but can still improve e.g. roads need completion, pavements are needed.

Turbulent Descent returns to the scene of one of her most impressive victories when she makes her second start of the year in Friday's Grade 1, $500,000 Ballerina at Saratoga Race Course.
A "Win and You're In" race for the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint, the seven-furlong Ballerina drew a field of seven for its 34th running, including multiple Grade 1 winner It's Tricky, who is the 8-5 morning-line favorite for the Ballerina but is more likely to run in Sunday's Grade 1, 1 1/8-mile Personal Ensign Invitational.
"We've entered, but we'll more than likely run on Sunday," said trainer Kiaran McLaughlin of It's Tricky. "We'll see how the other race shapes up, and we have until Friday to make a decision."
One year ago, Turbulent Descent earned the third Grade 1 victory of her young career when she barreled four-wide to take the seven-furlong Test at the Spa in electrifying fashion. Subsequently unplaced in the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint and the Grade 1 La Brea in December at Santa Anita, the bay daughter of Congrats was off until June 17, when she rolled to a 1 ¼-length win in the Desert Stormer Handicap at Betfair Hollywood Park, earning a career-best 104 Beyer Speed Figure in the process.
Purchased privately by Coolmore Stud, Turbulent Descent then was sent to trainer Todd Pletcher, who has spent the past month readying the 4-year-old filly for the Ballerina, the winner of which will earn an automatic berth in the Filly & Mare Sprint at Santa Anita on November 2.
"She's the Test winner and obviously likes the track, so at this distance and on this surface, the Ballerina has been the plan since she's arrived," said Pletcher of Turbulent Descent, who is listed at 9-5 on the morning line. "She's gotten to this point in very good order. She's very intelligent, she's got a good disposition … basically, she's everything she was advertised to be."
Pletcher, who traveled to California earlier this summer to watch her train, said Turbulent Descent has acclimated to her new home extremely well.
"When I went to California to look at her, [trainer] Mike Puype was very, very kind and generous and shared all kinds of information about her," said Pletcher, who won last year's Ballerina with Hilda's Passion. "While I kind of knew what to expect, it's always nice to have some extra time to get to know her and get a feel for her early on. She's made the transition very smooth for us."
Favored in all 11 of her starts, Turbulent Descent drew post position 6 and will be ridden by Hall of Fame jockey John Velazquez.
For weeks, McLaughlin has been contemplating a start in either the Ballerina or the Personal Ensign for Godolphin Stable's It's Tricky, who most recently took the Grade 1 Ogden Phipps Handicap on May 28 at Belmont Park. With last year's 3-year-old filly champion Royal Delta pointing toward the Personal Ensign, and looking ahead to keeping It's Tricky and Saturday's Grade 1 Alabama winner Questing in separate races in the fall, McLaughlin is keeping his options open as long as possible for It's Tricky, winner of the Grade 1 TVG Coaching Club American Oaks last year at the Spa.
Highweight at 122 pounds, It's Tricky was assigned post position 3 under Eddie Castro.
Nicole H will be seeking her third victory of 2012 and first since February in the Ballerina. The 5-year-old mare won the Interborough and Correction over Aqueduct Racetrack's inner track this past winter, and, while close, has yet to find the winner's circle in five starts since, most recently finishing a half-length behind Musical Romance in the Grade 1 Princess Rooney in July at Calder Race Course.
Saratoga's leading rider, Ramon Dominguez, will be aboard Nicole H, who is 4-1 on the morning line from post position 5.
Competing in a Grade 1 for the first time is Island Bound, who rallied from last to miss by a neck in the Grade 2 Honorable Miss Handicap on August 3. Victorious in the Grade 3 Winning Colors at Churchill Downs in her graded stakes debut, the 5-year-old Speightstown mare has been training forwardly at Saratoga and trainer Ian Wilkes is hoping she will step up.
"We're giving her a shot at a Grade 1 – it would be a wonderful thing for her owner, Robert Manfuso," said Wilkes. "Maybe she's not good enough to beat these. Maybe she is. We'll find out. But the good thing about her is she tries."
Julien Leparoux rides Island Bound, 10-1 on the morning line, from the rail.
The Ballerina also drew Grade 3 Bed o' Roses winner Derwin's Star; All Due Respect, most recently sixth in an overnight turf stakes at Belmont, and Belle of the Hall, fourth behind C C's Pal and Island Bound in the Honorable Miss.

March 25 & 26 @ 8pm: 180 Days: A Year Inside an American High School
This special gives space and breadth to our nation's education reform debate by giving the audience a first-hand view of what happens in a school that meets the needs of the most challenged students in new and sometimes non-traditional ways. Observe a tireless team of teachers and school leaders dealing with the usual antics of teenagers and the changing tides of a fast-moving administration that is responding to pressures from outside partners, politicians and forces in the community. A surprising and dramatic end to the school year sheds light on both the extraordinary challenges and opportunities today's public schools face.

[What is the Welsh Government doing to support people with caring responsibilities.]
Gwenda Thomas (Deputy Minister for Children and Social Services): We have been working with the local health boards to finalise their carers information and consultation strategies under the Carers Strategies (Wales) Measure 2010. In April, we will publish our refreshed carers strategy for Wales, and we have also included new rights for carers in the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Bill.
Joyce Watson: Thank you for that answer, Deputy Minister. I look forward to the refreshed carers strategy and the social services Bill, which will be a decisive step forward for carers' rights in Wales. I do not need to tell you that one in eight people in Wales now have caring responsibilities, and that that figure is closer to a fifth among older people. So, with increased pressure on families and the Westminster Government limiting disability allowance, it is crucial that carers get the support that they need. What is the Welsh Government doing to identify and to offer support for hidden carers, namely Read more [...]

Women & Gender
Establishing equality between women and men is vital to unleashing the power of families and communities to transform their lives for the better — but around the world, women, men, boys and girls experience disproportionate access to resources, exposure to risks and control of their futures.
So, with every program we put into action — in each of the 40-plus countries we work in — we consider the needs of both genders, evaluate the dynamics between them and work to empower those most at risk.
We focus, especially, on helping women and girls find their equal voice in the places where they have fewer rights, because we know that strong women equal strong families — and strong countries. Meet the world's toughest women ▸
Why focus on women and girls?
Women and girls can be catalysts for incredible, positive change. But, traditional gender roles, certain cultural beliefs and few opportunities often keep them from reaching their full potential.
Mercy Corps, in partnership with the MasterCard Center for Inclusive Growth, creates safe spaces for teenage girls to increase their knowledge and confidence, and become self-sufficient by combining basic business, financial and life skills training, with mentoring and access to vocational training. Learn more here.
In many places around the world, females have unequal access to important resources like information, money, school, jobs and land. And they are oftentimes not allowed to make decisions for themselves or their families, like who they will marry, how many children they will have, how they will spend their time or how to spend household income.
Read our Q+A: How we help girls fulfill their potential ▸
And with fewer skills and tools at their disposal, women and girls also end up being some of the most vulnerable when crises like war and natural disaster strike.
Obstacles to overcome
The challenges that girls and women face vary widely from culture to culture, but one theme is prevalent: Unequal access to opportunities that give them an independent, productive place in their communities.
Photo: Miguel Samper for Mercy Corps
Sarmila's story: Overcoming challenges to stay in school ▸
While research shows that educated women are less likely to marry early and more likely to have healthy, educated children, girls still face great — and, sometimes, insurmountable — barriers to education, including poverty, inadequate sanitation facilities, gender-based violence, social norms that favor boys' education and early marriage.
According to UNICEF, one-third of girls in the developing world are married before the age of 18, and one-third of women in the developing world give birth before the age of 20.
Women and girls also face more hurdles in building fruitful, stable livelihoods: While nearly half the world's farmers are women, only 20 percent of landholders are. Female farmers also have less access to tools, seeds, fertilizers and financing.
In some economies, laws or social structures restrict the types of jobs women can do or prevent them from working altogether. How women are breaking down barriers in Afghanistan ▸
Photo: Sean Sheridan for Mercy Corps
And women and girls bear the brunt of the responsibility for unpaid housework, too, often having to forego earning an education or an income to care for family members, complete home chores and cook meals.
Globally, women spend up to 10 times more time per day caring for children and the elderly than men do, and up to three hours more per day doing housework. In sub-Saharan Africa, women devote at least 16 million hours a day — 5.8 billion hours a year — just to collecting drinking water.
But what if women and girls had the same opportunities as men and boys?
Did you know?
- A 10 percent increase in girls attending school can increase a developing country's GDP by 5 percent, and an increase in female workers results in faster economic growth
- Children born to a literate mother are 50 percent more likely to live past the age of 5
- If female farmers had equal resources to male farmers, they could feed 150 million hungry people
- Women's involvement in peace agreements increases the likelihood of them holding at least 2 years by 20 percent
Our work
Throughout our programming, we partner with communities to build gender equality, and work to support the drive and resourcefulness of women and girls.
Photo: Slavisa Trtic Trle for Mercy Corps
Our programs include helping women and girls access education, vocational skills and livelihood assets, like livestock, tools and agricultural training, so they're able to support themselves and contribute to their families. In vulnerable communities, young women dream big ▸
We work to promote equal household decision-making and community involvement, and increase women's participation in income-generating activities. Read more: A couple finds their future in chia ▸

And initiatives like our girls groups and community health trainings give women and girls the tools they need to build healthy, promising futures, including information about delaying marriage, family planning, pregnancy care, nutrition and managing finances.
Informed, empowered women and girls have the ability to profoundly change their lives and families for the better — and with the right support, they can change the world, too. You can encourage even more women and girls transform their communities. Make a gift today ▸

Traditionally, new mothers in Tajikistan were taken care of for 40 days after giving birth, kept from household chores and even brought food in their room, where they spent all their time bonding with and caring for their newborn.

It seems that there is a lot of different opinions regarding passengers at chapter autocrosses. I'm curious what the concensus is with everybody on the forum? If you read the minimum standards, it states (in section 2.8.4 Drivers/Workers Meeting, paragraph f): "...that only entrants, and approved instructors (for the sole purpose of instructing) are allowed in cars during timed runs.) One of the things we've always tried to do at our autocrosses is to get new people to come out and try it. If they don't want to compete the first time, we encourage them to show up and catch a ride with someone. Based on the minimum standard above, that's against the rules. However, it says "timed" runs...does that mean it's OK during the fun runs? So does your chapter allow passengers? Do you put any restrictions on it? Anybody from National want to chime in? Thanks in advance!!
If you take the rule literally, passengers would be allowed in fun runs since the ops manual does not address 'fun runs', only timed. This is something to ask your regional DEC rep though. The National office don't actually create the rules. Edit: I was wrong about the fun runs. I do know there is at least one chapter that allow passengers in timed runs.
I know several chapters that allow passengers but I just want to make sure we're meeting our insurance requirements and not putting the club at risk. A couple years ago we (a PCA event, not BMW CCA fortunately, althought they were both CCA members) had a serious incident at an autocross here and someone got badly injured. The passenger was in fact an instructor but if he hadn't been...that could have been a serious problem. Ever since then, we've been overly-cautious about the whole passenger issue. The reason it's coming up again is because we're getting ready to write up our competition rules for 2009 and want to address the passenger thing. Regarding fun runs, here's what the minimum standards state: 2.8.7 Fun Runs - If time permits after the end of the scored, competitive event, fun runs may be allowed, as long as all safety considerations in place for competitive runs remain in place for fun runs. After reading that, maybe passengers aren't allowed then either? Whenever I've asked anybody about it (including the DEC's), I've never gotten a straight answer about it. I always get "...open for interpretation..." or "...it's a chapter decision...". I find it hard to believe that it's a chapter decision if it's stated in the minimum standards, unless the minimum standards are just a suggestion and not a mandate? I'll try the regional DEC again and let you know what happens. I would still like to hear from other chapters though (unless I've scared you off...?? ).
In San Diego a passenger is only allowed in a car being driven by an instructor, and students are only allowed to have a passenger if the passenger is an instructor.
Yeah, that's the same policy we've adopted for this year. Also, any passenger going for a ride with an instructor must be a registered participant of the event. It's definitely not a popular decision with the membership at large and has created a lot of debate but that's the policy and we're holding a hard line.
I have always wondered what other organizations insurance is like, since I have been to track days put on by other groups, and they don't care who rides in the passenger seat, as long as they've signed a waiver.
I've always wondered that myself. I think it must come down to interpretation (or they are just playing the odds, hoping they don't have an incident).

ON THIS PAGE: You will learn about how doctors describe a cancer's growth or spread. This is called the stage. To see other pages, use the menu on the side of your screen.
Staging is a way of describing where the cancer is located, if or where it has spread, and whether it is affecting the functions of other organs in the body. Doctors use diagnostic tests to find out the cancer's stage, so staging may not be complete until all of the tests are finished.
Knowing the stage helps the doctor to decide what kind of treatment is best and can help predict a patient's prognosis, which is the chance of recovery. There are different stage descriptions for different types of cancer.
TNM staging system
One tool that doctors use to describe the stage is the TNM system. Doctors use the results from diagnostic tests and scans to answer these questions:
Tumor (T): How large is the primary tumor? Where is it located?
Node (N): Has the tumor spread to the lymph nodes? If so, where and how many?
Metastasis (M): Has the cancer metastasized to other parts of the body? If so, where and how much?
The results are combined to determine the stage of cancer for each person. There are five stages of vulvar cancer: stage 0 (zero) and stages I through IV (one through four). The stage provides a common way of describing the cancer, so doctors can work together to plan the best treatments.
Here are more details on each part of the TNM system for vulvar cancer:
Tumor (T)
Using the TNM system, the "T" plus a letter or number (0 to 4) is used to describe the size and location of the tumor. Some stages are also divided into smaller groups that help describe the tumor in even more detail. Specific tumor stage information is listed below.
TX: The primary tumor cannot be evaluated.
T0: There is no tumor.
Tis: The tumor is carcinoma in situ, an early cancer on the surface of the skin that has not spread to nearby tissue.
T1: The tumor is only in the vulva, or the vulva and perineum (the area of skin between the anus and vagina), and is 2 centimeters (cm) or smaller.
T1a: The tumor is only in the vulva, or the vulva and perineum, is 2 cm or smaller, and has spread no more than 1 millimeter (mm) into nearby structures.
T1b: The tumor is only in the vulva, or the vulva and perineum, is 2 cm or smaller, and has spread more than 1 mm into nearby structures.
T2: The tumor is only in the vulva, or the vulva and perineum, and is larger than 2 cm.
T3: The tumor, of any size, has spread to the lower urethra and/or the vagina or anus.
T4: The tumor has spread to any of the following: upper urethra, bladder mucosa, rectal mucosa, or is attached to the pubic bone.
Node (N)
The "N" in the TNM staging system stands for lymph nodes. Lymph nodes near the pelvis and groin are called regional lymph nodes. Lymph nodes in other parts of the body are called distant lymph nodes.
NX: The regional lymph nodes cannot be evaluated.
N0: Cancer has not spread to the lymph nodes.
N1: Cancer has spread to lymph nodes on the same side of the body as the tumor.
N2: Cancer has spread to lymph nodes on both sides of the body.
Metastasis (M)
The "M" in the TNM system indicates whether the cancer has spread to other parts of the body, called distant metastasis.
MX: Distant metastasis cannot be evaluated.
M0: There is no distant metastasis.
M1: There is metastasis to other parts of the body.
Grade (G)
Doctors also describe this type of cancer by its grade (G), which describes how much cancer cells look like healthy cells when viewed under a microscope. The doctor compares the cancerous tissue with healthy tissue. Healthy tissue usually contains many different types of cells grouped together.
If the cancer looks similar to healthy tissue and contains different cell groupings, it is called differentiated or a low-grade tumor. If the cancerous tissue looks very different from healthy tissue, it is called poorly differentiated or a high-grade tumor.
The cancer's grade may help the doctor predict how quickly the cancer will spread. In general, the lower the tumor's grade, the better the prognosis.
GX: The tumor grade cannot be evaluated.
G1: The tumor cells contain many healthy-looking cells and are well differentiated.
G2: The tumor cells appear more abnormal than healthy and are moderately differentiated.
G3: Most of the tumor cells appear abnormal and are poorly differentiated.
G4: The tumor cells barely resemble healthy cells and are undifferentiated.
Cancer stage grouping
Doctors assign the stage of the cancer by combining the T, N, and M classifications.
Stage 0: The cancer has not spread from where it started and is on the surface of the skin of the vulva only (Tis, N0, M0).
Stage I: The tumor is smaller than 2 cm and has not spread (T1, N0, M0).
Stage IA: The tumor is smaller than 2 cm, has not spread, and is no deeper than 1 mm (T1a, N0, M0).
Stage IB: The tumor is smaller than 2 cm, has not spread, and is deeper than 1mm (T1b, N0, M0).
State II: The tumor is larger than 2 cm, is in the vulva or perineum or both, but has not spread to nearby tissue (T2, N0, M0).
Stage III: The cancer has spread to nearby tissue (vagina, anus, urethra) and/or lymph nodes on one side of the body, but there is no distant metastasis (T1 or T2, N1, M0; T3, N0 or N1, M0).
Stage IVA: The cancer has spread to lymph nodes on both sides of the body or spread into the upper part of the urethra, bladder, rectum, or pelvic bone (T1, T2, T3; N2, M0; or T4, any N, M0).
Stage IVB: Any cancer that has spread to a distant part of the body (any T, any N, M1).
Recurrent: Recurrent cancer is cancer that has come back after treatment. If the cancer does return, there will be another round of tests to learn about the extent of the recurrence. These tests and scans are often similar to those done at the time of the original diagnosis.

At the Red Rooster Artisan Bakery we are passionate about bread. We believe that our daily bread should be exactly that - part of the daily nourishment of body and soul.
Artisan breads are an expression of a lifestyle; an expression of conservation; an expression of values. We run our bakery carbon neutral and we carefully select our ingredients. We use only certified organic grains and flour and we prepare our doughs by natural leavening. We do not use additives or preservatives - in this traditional way of baking it is not necessary.
Bread deserves respect. Respect for the soil, the grain, the farmer, the baker, and respect for those who break bread at the table. As life itself, the baking of wholesome bread takes time and must not be rushed. It is as much a process of reflection as it is a process of manual labour. Baking is also a very personal process as bread is offered from baker to fellow, from hand to hand, as a product made with care and consideration, as nourishment as well as joy.
We take care and time in baking. Our breads are made the way bread was made before industrialization began dictating ever shorter production times. Our breads are baked in a wood fired masonry oven and are peasant breads in the best sense of the word.

From its first announcement, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale was always going to have an uphill struggle against the waves of gamers calling it out as a Super Smash Bros. clone. Even the official PlayStation YouTube channel had put the words "Super Smash Brothers" in its tags, which I guess would mean Sony's PR team just assumed it was a replica of Nintendo's smash-hit fighter.

PlayStation All-stars Battle Royale pits many classic Sony characters and others that have made an impact on Sony's consoles against one another as they duke it out on various levels, using super moves and items based on the games the characters are from. The way that you play this game is the main differentiating factor between Nintendo's Smash Bros. titles because performing supers is the only way to win. Even still, there are many similarities between the title, but All-Stars is fun enough to...

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Review 0
At first glance, most might write off this game as a Sony-branded Super Smash Bros. clone. While in some ways that may be true, that would be unfair to the game since it does a lot to differ itself from its competitor's counterpart thanks to its many tweaks and own unique style to various parts of the game.More importantly, who doesn't want to play as any of the multiple iconic characters of Sony's past franchises? Who do you think will win if Kratos goes up against the all so witty treasure hu...

Sony Smash Bros. Tries Something new but Ultimately Falls Flat. 0
Going into this game i didn't know what to think. It seems like a blatant copy of the popular Super Smash Bros. series, however they do some things that make it unique, perhaps too unique. The main problem with this game is that most of its ads has been positioning this game as a party game. This is false advertising. What is the main thing to having a party game? Simplicity this game has none of that. Instead of beating somebody up and them dying you have to use one of your 9 moves to gain some...

Stephen Shore: Selected Works, 1973–1981
Stephen Shore's Uncommon Places is indisputably a canonic body of work—a touchstone for those interested in photography and the American landscape. Remarkably, despite having been the focus of numerous shows and books, including the eponymous 1982 Aperture classic (expanded and reissued several times), this series of photographs has yet to be explored in its entirety. Over the past five years, Shore has scanned hundreds of negatives shot between 1973 and 1981.
