Hoody is no longer a virgin.
This was shouted through the streets of Clydebank a few days ago. Bells rang.... angels cried golden tears of infinity and God cast his steely gaze over this putrid version of humanity and boomed "Finally, the day has arrived. It all began many many years ago in the garden of Eden. The universe was build for one reason and that reason was HINLAV. I have completed my journey, it all must end... tonight" Roars of imploding stars filled the universal mind, matter and gravity played out a final symphony of despair and finally decayed into the womb of finite return. A whole singing choir of dead children rose from the ashes and burst forth from the glass. An empty vessel showed the world why it must slowly agonize over every second of every mistake that spawned from it's very own virus. A submerged idea of torture pushing every soul to see it's obscene thoughts through a magnified uterus of hate. Above, angels ran naked, tore their wings off in playful delight and execreted fragments of despair from their cunts. A yellow cloud ate the blue sky and a wingless seraph rode comets with reins of skin and membrane howling in the throws of termination. The malignant spire of unrelenting bereavement drove towards my heart. The death of God was not heard in heaven or earth. No madman ran into the streets to proclaim the passing of the almighty. My eyes filled with bright obliteration. I stood there for days muttering "HINLAV..... OH CHRIST HINLAV" Hoody lay on the sweat soaked covers and wiped himself with his sock..... "Did you hear God has died ?"
"Is that why the sky vanished into a blood red sea of death" "Yep, HINLAV" "It's about fucking time !" |

Sociological profile
Back Story Rosa Luminass LN Paragon Cleric of LAW Rosa remembers a time of rooms and play, in the house of her farther, there nana would look after her and tell her story's of the world outside. Rosa knew she could not go out, it was a bad thing and if ever her father found her close to a door or shaded window, he was be very angry. Life was sunbeams for shuttered windows, play and sleep. The servants had a party for her, and nana gave her a new dress, rosa had just put it on when her Farther game. He told nana he needed rosa to come to his work shop and that she had to stay, nana was very upset, but Rosa went with her Farther. The room was big and rosa looked at all the books and bottles. A strange Patten had been made in the middle of the work area floor. Some thing was there, a monster, Rosa was not scared she had seen her father with Monsters before. Monster Held out its hand, "You come with me now" it said, Rosa looked at her Farther who just nodded, Rosa held her hand out, the Monster smiled, "The deal is done, you have want you wanted " there was a flash and Rosa was in a hot place, all around Monster walked and worked, The one holding her hand held out a metal collar he placed around her neck. "You is slave now, you work here, carry and do fast or pain" he placed a drinking jug in her hands and her mind fogged over. Time passed, she worked with others like her in a great tent made of skin and bone. Sleep, eat work, if she was slow hes was crushed under foot, to awake the next day in the blood pits, Her body whole once more to be sent back to work carrying food and drink to the Monsters. The tent moved, as its owner the lord of hell willed and she with it, she never once looked outside the tent, she knew only work, pain and sleep. Then came the time of a fight, another slave, a new one was being slow, if he was not faster she and he would be crushed, he would not move more or let her past, so with one swing she smashed he head in and walked over his body to the tables. The Monsters seem to think this was funny, one of them picked Rosa up in its clawed hand, "Fine one this, she has fire in her, you wast such fire in slave, place her in the army she will do well." With that he broke her neck. When she came to she was in a blood pit she had never seen before, it was a cell and standing over it was a Monster holding large knifes. There was others around her, "worms you are mine, so heed me well, lean to fight and die well and I may let you live again, you will fight and you will die, each time as our lord wills and you will do so no matter what" with that he throw the Knifes into the pit. "Last one standing gets out". Rosa did not win that day or the next, but soon she did and in doig so joined the ranks of hells army. There she became fodder fight and die in endless wars. Time passed, then came to time of the sword. She and others had been sent to frontaly attack a Devil, "You will charge at it all of you and keep it distracted while and agent of our master deals with it, most, if not all of you will be sent back to the blood pits and death, this is what you are meant to do, Now go and die has our lord wills" They ran over the hill and down to the waiting Devil, they died, its grate hammer smashing them while it tail flicked from side to side. Rosa was hit and thrown next to a rock, there she waited for death. But as she lay dying she had time to see a shape move up behind the Devil. they where all dead of dying and so it was now eating some of her fellows. The Shape held in its hands a large black and red sword, it came close and then moved to smite the Devil, but somehow it gave its place away, the devil move so fast she could not see, spinning it held in its hand a small bird. "Do you think you could get me like that hell hound" The small thing In its hands screamed and the one with the sword stopped dead. Why is he not moving Rose thought, and then she could see, he had become stone. "Silly little hound of hell", the devil said, "he should know better than to send the likes of you, such and insult," then with its head high it screamed "if he wants ME! He can come himself" then with one move of its tail smashed the Stone form. Rosa closed her eyes as the rubble fell all around her, she could hear that the Devil had gone back to its meal. She opened her eyes again, the pain was grater, but she could also see that the hounds sword had fallen by her side. She looked at it, it was a work of art, the runes on it seemed to flow and shift, so pretty, slowly she moved her hand to touch its. They found her 2 days later, Still holding the Sword in the Back of the Dead Devil. That is when she gained the rank of Hound of Hell, They changes her, made her bigger and gave her power, stripped away her feelings and sould to that her Hell Blade could use her to do Hells will. Hounds have but one function, To find and punish those that would brake Hell's laws with in its own ranks. She was made not to feel not to care, just to deliver justice. That's how they wanted her, but they got more than they wanted.
Then the time came for the punishment of a Devil in liege with Demons. A Dark Brotherhood, that broke all the rules. The world was in danger, order would be lost, so she joined with others, ones who would be her enermys at any time, Even a agent of Heaven. The Event.
There was an explosion, she new it even as it happen, and to brake thing that the hooded one had she tuck that explosion into herself, it would mean her death, she knew this, but there power, there plans had to be stopped. She pushed the Angel aside and did what had to be done. The power was great and burned her from the inside, buy she kept her form, using that place of order to hold her just long enough. Then she let the power good in one vast blast at the hooded man. That thing he held was no mare, but nore was Rosa, She flesh gone she fell and that should have been that. But the realms of LAW know something of use when they see it, and they had seen Rosa, The power of the device has stripped from her all the working of hell, all that was lie was her Link to them and her will.
Her eyes started to see once more, but not as before, her body did not at all feel the same, she looked down and could see she was no longer flesh and blood. But Steel and magic. Her mind had also changed she new of the Axiomite place she has linked to and the link was still there. Out of time she had been there and talked to God mind, she new why she had been sent back and what she should do. The order of the world was her duty, not the greed and hunger of any one god. She was to protect that, Forever standing in the battle that ranged at the hart of creation itself. Player Notes:

"Expecting Holiday Inn Express and Got SJP Hotel"
We were NOT informed of the change of hotel ownership so were very upset that we didn't earn our points - as that was the ONLY reason why we selected this hotel in the first place. Accommodations are only OK at best. The rooms were very humid and everything (including our clothes) were damp all the time. YUCKY!! The hotel beds were way too soft - had […] back aches the entire time we were there. Our room was reportedly a 'disabled room'. It was NOT set up to accommodate anyone in a wheelchair - counter, beds too high, tub not accessible, couldn't get a wheelchair around the beds - too small spaces. Breakfast OK but not what I expected (wanted yogurt, scones, more fruit). Tour desk staff very helpful - but don't do any of their tours - way to pricey - you can do it yourself online. Nice to have access to wi-fi. 더 보기검증된 Hotels.com 숙박객 이용 후기
"Great location, not so great hotel."
The bathroom extractor fan sucked so the bathroom stayed moist/ damp for hours after we showered. So forget about putting your bathing suite to dry! The room always smelled like humidity and felt cold even with the AC off. The dresser smelled like humidity so we asked for extra hangers which they provided but we packed for a week so we didnt have enough. […] We still had to put clothes in the drawers, we figure the clothes would stink but had no choice, kept the drawers open and still couldn't avoid bringing stinky clothes back home so came straight home to do laundry! Bed and pillows were comfortable and house keeping always had fresh clean towels ready. Breakfast was ok nothing too fancy, cereal, toast, coffee, juice, milk, some pastries and some microwaveable look alike omelettes and sausages. Pool was decent and hot tub was dirty! The area though was very good so I guess, location, location, location is what I can stress! 더 보기검증된 Expedia 이용 후기

"Nice hotel, safe area"
The hotel is now San Juan Plaza. My sister and I stayed a week, Jan 2013, and found it to be a nice hotel. Not a 5 star but the rooms were fine and for difference in price a nice hotel. Staff was very friendly and helpful, especially Edith, Mayra and Carlos. Safe area just off Ashford Ave and near Casino and upscale hotels. We took the bus, 75 cents […] one way, and went to Old San Juan. Bus stop a couple blocks away. Also took bus to ferry (.50) and then 3.00 on a shuttle to the Rum distillery which was free tour of factory. The hotel is still undergoing updates, we were on 7th floor and all was well. I would stay at San Juan Plaza again with no problem. 더 보기검증된 Expedia 이용 후기
"San Juan Plaza Hotel-formerly the Holiday Inn expr"
The Hotel Changed its name to San Juan Plaza Hotel two weeks before we got there and the Holiday Inn signs were covered up by banners. The Hotel had a hard time with the reservations both times we were there, could not find them, also confused on where to look for the reservations and pricing etc. Charged $40 difference from one stay to the next only […] one week apart. Some of the front desk people spoke Spanish only and were not very friendly.The rooms were OK and the Breakfast was good and the staff there were very friendly. Only a block and a half to the beach-Nice, Good place for a short stay. 더 보기검증된 Expedia 이용 후기

Things to do in Alaska
Anchorage - experience the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center in Portage
Alaska is so massive and so remote, that it is almost impossible to see much of the beautiful wildlife, the state has to offer. This is why a visit to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Centre is an absolute must, if you are visiting Portage. A great favourite of many visitors are the brown bears but all patriots love to see the Bald Eagles flying wild and free.Anchorage - go exploring at Eklutna Lake
Eklutna Lake is around eight miles long and offers wonderful opportunities and options for those that enjoy outdoor activities. Whether you like long hikes through the woods, or prefer ATV tours, the area has plenty to offer, including fantastic scenery. There are four major hiking trails, two of which are overnight trails, where walkers can stay overnight in log cabins. Cycling and kayaking are particularly popular in the region, and there are some excellent, fun trips available for both of these activities.Anchorage - go fishing and catch a big halibut
Some of the best halibut inshore fishing in the world can be found at Whittier, which is just outside of Anchorage. Fishing enthusiasts regularly pull out prize fish of between 30 – 40 pounds, with the very occasional one weighing as much as 100 pounds. Whilst you are waiting for the fish to bite, you can enjoy the costal and glacial scenery. Once your catch has been reeled in, it can be prepared for smoking or freezing, and then if you wish, shipped back to your home. Anchorage - take a seaplane tour at Lake Hood
Much of Alaska would be unreachable if it were not for the services offered by seaplanes, and their sometimes eccentric pilots who manage to land their aircraft on seemingly impossibly small stretches of water. The seaplane base at Lake Hood is possibly the busiest in the world as it provides courier services to other towns in the state, as well as ferrying visitors to remote cabins and fishing lodges, plus offers day trips to see the outstanding scenery of the region.Anchorage - try salmon fishing at Ship Creek
There are not many places in the world where you can fish for two different species of Salmon in the same year, but Ship Creek in Anchorage is one of them. From May to July, the beautiful and impressive King Salmon swim up water, and make for exciting fishing sport, as some are around 40 pounds in weight. The smaller, but equally challenging, Coho, or Silver Salmon season is between June and August, and even these can reach up to 12 pounds in weight. Fairbanks - escape to Musk Ox Farm
It is surprising to learn that the softest wool in the world comes from such a large animal, but the fleece of the Musk Ox is sought after worldwide. The Musk Farm at Fairbanks, is maintained by the University of Alaska and offers 45 minute tours of the musk oxen, caribou and reindeer, so that visitors can learn all about these, intersting animals. After the tour, you may want to go and purchase some souvenirs, from the well stocked, gift shop.Fairbanks - have a family adventure day at Pioneer Park
Pioneer Park in Fairbanks is not a theme park, but is instead a collection of tourist activities that can keep you entertained for a week. The park has everything from a replica gold mine and sluice gate, to the ships and railway engines that brought settlers and gold miners to the city, over its long turbulent history. It is also home to the northern most 36 hole, mini golf in America, as well as the world's 2nd longest wooden hull ship, still in existence, being just over 200 metres in lenght. Fairbanks - learn about local history at the University of Alaska Museum
The history of the Alaskan region is told in the Fairbanks located Museum of the North. Here visitors can fimd out about how the region evolved, due to the work and affect of glaciers and rivers, as well as the culture, customs and artworks of the local indigenous tribes. The museum contains Alaska's largest gold display, and makes excellent use of visual and audio techniques to ensure vistors have a unique, insight into this fascinating region.Fairbanks - say hi to Santa Claus at his home
Everyone knows that Santa lives at the North Pole, but what they may not know is that he lives at Santa Claus House in Fairbanks, and has done since he built his new house there in 1952. Ever since then he has been sending children letters, encouraging good behaviour, and he loves to meet and see them, when they come to his home. Santa's home is not just a house, but also a local community store, so feel free to drop in and say hi.Fairbanks - view the amazing ice sculptures at the Fairbanks Ice Museum
Located in the Lacey Street Theatre, the Fairbanks Ice Museum is home to both amazing ice sculptures and carvings, that have been created by local artistes. There are also multimedia displays, showing how many of the ice sculptures were created. Kept at a chilly 20 F degrees, to preserve the 40,000 pounds of ice. The museum is open every day from 10am to 9pm and carvings can be viewed through a warm, glass, auditorium.Introduction to Alaska
There are so many wonderful hotels in Alaska to choose from, from wilderness lodges in remote locations to international hotel chains in large cities, you are sure to find a hotel to suit your needs.
Alaska is a vast country, it would be impossible to see it all, so it is best to concentrate on a region that offers most of the activities that you are interested in, whether it be hiking, fishing, cruising, whale watching, the list is endless.
Many Alaska hotels are located in beautiful secluded countryside areas where the emphasis is on outdoor activities such as fishing or glacier viewing.

Education committee agrees to additional hiring
WORTHINGTON — Staffing changes, uncertain state funding and curriculum shifts occupied most of the discussion at the District 518 Board of Education Instructional Committee Monday.
WORTHINGTON — Staffing changes, uncertain state funding and curriculum shifts occupied most of the discussion at the District 518 Board of Education Instructional Committee Monday.
The committee agreed to recommend the Board of Education hire an additional special education teacher to work in the autism program next year, and to change programming for those students.
"Next year we have a very large early childhood special education group coming into our kindergarten — 28 students," said Josh Noble, principal at Prairie Elementary. "We need to change the way we're doing the programming."
Currently, the 16 students in the autism programming track have a single teacher and nine paraprofessionals, but of the 28 special education students who will enter kindergarten next year, five or six of them will likely join the autism programming track.
If Prairie continues its current programming, it would require the hiring of three additional paraprofessionals, which would cost the district approximately $64,000 a year. Hiring an additional teacher would cost approximately $50,000 a year, not including benefits.
It would also mean teachers could spend more time working actively with autistic students rather than spending so much time assessing students. Should the district hire three paraprofessionals rather than a teacher, the sole teacher would likely end up assessing kids all year long, Noble said.
"We're either doing a better job of identifying (autistic) kids early on, or there's just more needs that are surfacing," said John Landgaard, District 518 superintendent.
Federal special education funding will pay for about half of the position, which will likely be taken by an existing special education teacher, whose empty place will then need to be filled.
The committee will also recommend to the board that two Spanish teaching positions with the Nobles County Integration Collaborative be cut, which will save the NCIC approximately $100,000.
"(The teaching positions) have been part of that program for a long time, but with the change in funding, as well as the direction of the goals, those two positions may not receive any funding, and until the legislature's done, we're not sure," Landgaard said. "In order to protect those funds, we're going to have to non-renew, and put those reductions in place."
The committee also discussed the purchasing of new social studies curriculum materials.
Because the state standards in social studies are changing this year, and the final draft of the standards is not complete, the school will likely hold off purchasing social studies materials for Worthington Middle School until next year.
The shift in state standards affects the middle school more than the elementary or high school levels, so elementary and high school curriculum materials will likely be purchased on schedule this year.
Curriculum alignment with state standards doesn't have to be complete until 2013-2014, but it will take the school one or two years to implement, said Jeff Luke, WMS principal.

The Black Films Collection consists of scripts, press sheets, press kits, movie stills and posters. The scope ofthe collection extends from the first African-American talkie "Hallelujah" to stills from movies of the early 1980's. A few of the many films for which there is information are "Birth of a Nation," "Coffy," "Cotton Comes to Harlem," "The Great White Hope," "Superfly," and "To Kill a Mockingbird." There are twenty-eight scripts including "Black Samson," "I Passed for White," "The JesseOwens Story," "The Klansman," and "Roots."
The kits usually include a synopsis of the film (not for publication), articles and ads for local newspapers, biographies of the performers, photographic stills for display, lobby cards and promotional materials. Some of these have images obviously doctored to suite the sensibilities of white audiences, while some ads have directions specifying "for black audiences only."

1.5 millones de familias cocinan con fuego abierto en el país. (de Guatemala)

I wrote a guest blog on Central American Politics, talking about the development of Guatemala City!
2 notes &
Confession: I am seriously obsessed with accounting. Accounting, at the end of the day, is the main reason that I started Unmarked Streets.
My sophomore year of college I took my first Intro to Accounting Course. We spent the first few weeks sifting through the holy trilogy of financial statements – the balance sheet, the income statement and the cash flow statement. We learned each one of the terms, and how to sum them together, and how they interact with each other. In the beginning I was kind of bored – accounting to me still seemed like a list of requirements that the IRS throws at you.
Then one day, our professor said something that changed my whole perspective. She was young for a professor, a bright, gregarious, lovely woman with BIG curly hair. One day she was talking about how the income statement and the balance sheet are linked together, what things you debit, what you credit, and I was doodling in the margin of my notebook. And then she yelled,
"And THIS! This is the one mistake that I see every small business make. Every small business I have ever worked for has come to me and said, I am making money, but I have no cash!"
She was the kind of person that was prone to screaming in the middle of class for no particular reason, but she still made me sit straight up in my desk. How is it possible that a basic error that EVERY business makes is something that I am learning about in Intro to Accounting?
She went on to explain two basic principles that make the main difference between how an accountant keeps books, and how someone who is an expert in their business, but not necessarily accounting, keeps their books:
1) The basic idea that that, if you buy a bag of potatoes, you don't book that expense in your income statement when you purchase it, you book it when a customer orders French fries. The expense is counted towards your profit when you actually use the item, not when you buy it. This is the basic difference between accounting in a business and keeping a personal budget in your home.
2) That most businesses have cash flow problems because they have too much inventory on hand. When a business is making profits but they have no money in the bank, it is usually because they order too many potatoes and have them sitting in the storage room. Because having inventory on hand is a real expense to your business, even if that cost doesn't sit on your income statement. It can drain your cash even if it hasn't hit your bottom line yet. And poor inventory control is the number one reason for poor cash flow.
It completely boggled my mind that this very basic idea, something that is so easily managable, can be the reason that so many small businesses go under. I am spending $100,000 on a business degree, and I just learned the number one reason that 90% of businesses fail in 15 minutes.
Fast forward to 2010, when the idea of Unmarked Streets was just forming in my head. I had been working in microfinance, and I was so passionate that people had the solutions to lift themselves out of poverty, that the best businesses ideas come from the very communities that were in trouble, they just needed the capital to get their ideas off the ground. I truly believe that microfinance has been one of the most revolutionary innovations of the 20th century, and that it has released millions of people from the cycle of poverty.
But the whole time I was volunteering, I had that voice ringing in the back of my head, "I am making money, but I have no cash". Starting a business is easy, but running a successful business is one of the hardest things in the world, even if you are privileged enough to be able to start it with your own money. Growing a business when you have debt is even harder. And I knew that I wanted to find a way to give people an introduction to small business ownership. I wanted to give a "starter kit" to what I learned in business school, and teach basic cash flow management and accounting and marketing, so that women in poverty wouldn't fall into the same old traps that so many small businesses fall into.
So Unmarked Streets does three things differently than a typical microfinance institution.
1) We provide our entrepreneurs a business model that works – we provide a product that is already tested in the local market and has positive impacts in the community on its own. (clean cook stoves to start with).
2) We provide an education program on sales, marketing, and accounting
3) We take care of inventory management – we work with a model called micro-consignment, which means that we loan out our inventory to the sales women, who then pay for the stock once they have sold it. This means that the biggest and trickiest burden/cost when it comes to accounting is absorbed by us, so that the sales women can get comfortable with the idea of working for themselves and become experts in the other areas of running a business.
And with this, we are creating a team of enterprising young women who will have the tools to pick a new path for their lives, to give them an opportunity to show what good businesswomen they can be. I was lucky enough to get a business education at an incredible school that taught me how to be a successful businesswoman, and now is the time for me to teach the things I learned to the people who have the most to gain.

Reblog from World news and comment from the Guardian | guardian.co.uk Expansion of sugar exports, demand for palm oil, cattle farming and subsistence communities pushed off their traditional land produced the world's fastest rate of deforestation There are cows as far as the eye can see beside the road leading to the archaeological site of La Joyanca, in north-west Guatemala. Over the last 10 years, the primal forest has been cut down, replaced by grassland for intensive cattle farming. Here in the Petén region, around as well as inside the Laguna del Tigre National Park, agriculture is inexorably devouring the forest. The process has been triggered incrementally in a series of seemingly minor steps. "At the end of the 1980s, when this zone was not yet a national park, Basic Petroleum obtained an oil exploration concession in the Laguna del Tigre area, in the heart of the forest," said Marco Cerezo, a Guatemalan environmentalist who founded FundaEco, a leading NGO dedicated to nature conservation and development. "Later, the oil companies asked for, and obtained, permission to build a road to their oil wells. And that is where the land clearing started, all along that road. Now approximately 40% of the national park has been cleared." The same thing is happening across the Petén region, which extends across the northern half of the country to the border with Belize and Mexico. According to the latest report from the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) published at the end of 2010, Guatemala has experienced the most rapid deforestation of any country over the last five years. In 2010, primary forest accounted for 1.6m hectares, compared with 2.4m 20 years earlier. Guatemala, which, after Brazil, has South America's second-largest rainforest cover, lost an average of 27,000 hectares a year between 2000 and 2005 (a rate of 1.32% per year), increasing to 68,000 hectares a year between 2005 and 2010 (3.72% per year), meaning that the rate of deforestation has almost trebled in the course of a decade. It is driven by two factors, explains geographer Gilles Selleron: "Thanks to satellite imagery we can distinguish between the cattle rearing, which is mainly carried by the Ladino population, people of Hispanic origin, and the traditional subsistence farming of corn, marrow and beans by the indigenous Q'eqchi, a Maya people." Selleron, who is based at the French national research institute and the environmental geography unit at Toulouse University, is a specialist in forest dynamics. Demographic pressure does not explain the speed with which the agricultural and grazing frontier has advanced. Nor why small farmers are pushing their way deeper and deeper into the forest. According to Cerezo, recent trade negotiations have allowed Guatemala to increase sugar exports, so sugar cane plantations have expanded. This competition for the land in a country that has never implemented agricultural reforms is occurring at the expense of local communities, which are being forced to search for new land. But that's not all. "In the last five years, the biggest contribution to the rapid deforestation has been the massive increase in demand for palm oil and the narcofincas or narco-farms," said Cerezo. Agro-forestry NGOs in the field are also coming across a new pressure: land appropriation by drug traffickers by forced purchase or illegally felling trees in protected areas. "The drug barons are trying to acquire a social status with land and cattle ownership," explains Cerezo. "They're setting up a new type of feudalism, with thousands of hectares being turned over to intensive cattle farming." And if the sugar cane, palm oil and narco-farms were not enough, open-cast mines are also competing for land. These pressures combine to push small communities deeper into the forest. In Guatemala, one of the poorest and most corrupt countries in Latin America, Cerezo believes the forest has become the focus for the tensions running through society. For Selleron, the erosion of the forest should also be seen in historical perspective and points to the fact that forest coverage has ebbed and flowed. "You have to remember that 2,000 years ago the peak of the Mayan civilisation was achieved by clearing the forest, which was considerably reduced at the time," explained the geographer. "During the Classic Maya period, between AD200 and AD900, the population density in what is now Petén was approximately 200 inhabitants per square kilometre, compared with fewer than a dozen today. They were obliged to clear the land and cultivate it to feed that population." But another factor now also plays a part, climate change. "In the 1990s, the environmental NGOs saw the forest as a reservoir of diversity to be preserved," explained Cerezo, "but now it's perceived more as a way of attenuating the effects of climate change." In the last two decades there have been far more episodes of heavy rainfall, which, coupled with deforestation in this mountainous land, has led to disastrous mudslides. Despite the difficult outlook for Guatemala's primal forests, NGOs are not giving up. Discussions are under way with the French banking group BNP Paribas to use carbon compensation schemes to fund forest management. This story originally appeared in Le Monde

The residents of Howard County, even those who vehemently oppose her, owe Susan B. Gray an acknowledgment. The Democratic candidate for Howard County executive, if nothing else, has brought attention to the important issue of growth. She has made an election that otherwise might have been a sleepwalk for popular incumbent Charles I. Ecker something that challenges voters' intellect.
After having raised the growth issue to the fore, though, what sort of future does Susan Gray offer Howard County? The answer to that drives us to the conclusion that Ms. Gray is unsuited to assume the mantle of chief executive of one of Maryland's most popular suburban jurisdictions.

Television doctor helps to deliver prizes
2:00pm Friday 11th January 2013 in News
A FAMOUS TV doctor has handed out prizes to some of Oxford's top schoolchildren.
Fertility expert Professor Lord Robert Winston was the guest of honour at Oxford Spires Academy's Year 11 and 13 prizegiving ceremony which took place at the Glanville Road school on Tuesday.
The professor was invited to hand out the awards and trophies after meeting Spires principal Sue Croft at a national awards ceremony.
Mrs Croft said: "It was delightful. I have spoken to a number of students this morning and they thoroughly enjoyed it.
"He spoke about his experiences and said he didn't think he sounded at all like my description of him because he said he wasn't particularly good at school. It was later on he began to flourish."
Among those receiving awards was Salma Haque, 17, from Cowley, who received a trophy for the best performance overall at GCSE and also certificates for English, physics and geography.
She said: "I found it really insightful.
"He was really interesting to talk to and I liked the fact he gave me some advice on what to do within the next couple of years of my life.
"I have always been inspired to work hard but little things like meeting him make me want to do even better."
Lord Winston has an impressive medical career, ranging from being among the first scientists to use an MRI scan, to pioneering new IVF techniques.
However, it is through his television shows, such as Superhuman, Child of Our Time and The Human Body, that he is best known.

Find federal and state laws and regulations.
Federal laws generally apply to people living in the United States and its territories.
Congress creates and passes bills. The President then signs those bills into law. Federal courts may review these laws and strike them down if they think they do not agree with the U.S. Constitution.
The United States Code contains the general and permanent laws of the United States. It does not include regulations issued by executive branch agencies, decisions of federal courts, treaties, or laws enacted by state or local governments.
New laws are assigned a public law number and included in the next edition of the United States Statutes at Large. You can also find new laws enacted by the current Congress before they are part of the United States Statutes at Large.
Regulations are issued by federal agencies, boards, or commissions. They explain how the agency intends to carry out a law.
Federal regulations are created through a process known as rulemaking.
By law, federal agencies must consult the public when creating, modifying, or deleting rules in the Code of Federal Regulations. This is an annual publication that lists the official and complete text of federal agency regulations.
Once an agency decides that a regulation needs to be added, changed, or deleted, it typically publishes a proposed rule in the Federal Register to ask the public for comments.
After the agency considers public feedback and makes changes where appropriate, it then publishes a final rule in the Federal Register with a specific date for when the rule will become effective and enforceable.
When the agency issues a final rule for comment, it must describe and respond to the public comments it received.
State laws generally apply just to people living in that state.
State legislatures create and pass bills and the governor signs them into law. State courts may review these laws and remove them if they think they do not agree with the state's constitution.
The Law Library of Congress has a guide for each state that can help you find laws and regulations.

Bale Fest
Thankfully there has been no over-the-top reaction to Gareth Bale's rather decent form. The English media have definitely not got the slightest bit carried away. Oh no.
As an experiment, Mediawatch tried Control F and then searched for 'Bale' on the football front page of the Daily Mail website at 10.30am on Wednesday.
There were 44 matches. 44 (forty-four) matches! To put this into context, there were only 38 matches for the word 'football'.
This Bale-fest includes 13 separate articles about the man we're contractually obliged to call the 'Welsh Wizard'. Namely:
Rio: Think Bale is on the same level as Ronaldo? You don't know football!
Unstoppable...but how long before Gareth bails out?
How AVB turned Bale into...the Predator!
Chris Waddle: Bale will be worth 70mn if he produces this form in the Champions League
Matt Le Tissier: Even as a 17-yr-old at Southampton, Bale was a class apart
Keep Bale in Blighty: Sportsmail launches campaign
Bale knocked stuffing out of West Ham AND Arsenal with wonder goal
I haven't turned Spurs into a one-man team, insists Bale
REVEALED: How Bale came close to dropping into the Championship!
Top 10 Spurs players of all time...is Bale good enough to join?
Bale deserves to be player of the year says AVB
Today's poll...Should Bale quit Spurs this summer?
Bale hits last-gasp stunner to hand Spurs three points
That's 13 separate articles from a total of 52 football-related items on their site, giving Bale exactly 25% market share in the world of football newsworthiness. Wow. Imagine if he won something.
Let's focus for a minute on one of those headlines: 'Keep Bale in Blighty: Sportsmail launches campaign'.
Yes, that's a campaign - complete with logo seemingly drawn on a Mac by a five-year-old - to stop Bale joining any of those nasty foreign clubs. Mediawatch's challenge to you is to keep down the bile as you read on...
* 'The Barclays Premier League needs Gareth Bale. English football needs Gareth Bale.'
* 'He must be viewed by a generation of starry-eyed kids.'
* 'The Premier League needs heroes. And at the moment, Gareth Bale is the right kind of one.'
Recovered your stomach? Let's read on as Neil Moxley writes: 'It has been repeatedly thrown at him that the 23-year-old Welsh wizard 'doesn't fancy it'.'
Has it? Has it really? Mediawatch googled 'Gareth Bale doesn't fancy it' and simply generated links to the Daily Mail's 'Keep Bale in Blighty' campaign and a news story about Ashley Williams really not 'fancying' coming up against Bale. Well, who would?
Moxley has clearly been taking lessons from Oliver Holt (the king of the genre) on the finer points of the straw man argument. What's that phrase about wise men never arguing with fools again?
Harry's Game
Forgive us while we turn again to the Daily Mail (so you don't have to) and Sami Mokbel's piece about AVB transforming Bale into a 'predator'. He begins with an obligatory nod to Harry Redknapp...
'Former Spurs manager Harry Redknapp's influence on Bale's career is undeniable. Taking a player who was widely recognised as a left back and transforming him into one of the most feared wingers on the planet is something Redknapp should reflect on with immense pride when he retires to his Sandbanks residence.'
Is this the same Redknapp who still insisted after Bale's devastating performances on the wing against Inter Milan in 2010 that "in the long term I eventually see Gareth dropping back and playing at left-back where he can be one of the best, if not the best"?
Rednapp even admitted that Bale was only playing on the wing because Benoit Assou-Ekotto is a rather good left-back.
But well done, Harry, well done. Mediawatch is clapping now.
Normal Talk = Angry Bust-Up
Headlines on various football websites on Tuesday afternoon after Rafa Benitez's press conference:
Football365: 'Benitez plays down bust-up reports'.
The Guardian: 'Rafael Benítez plays down reports of row with Chelsea players'.
The Daily Mirror: ''It was a normal meeting': Benitez insists post match 'exchange of opinions' with Terry was no bust-up'.
Sky Sports: 'Rafa Benitez: No problem with John Terry or the other Chelsea players'.
Those headlines were prompted by these quotes from Benitez: "This was a normal meeting between players and technical staff, which happens after every game. It was normal talk, nothing else. You show your disappointment, that is normal...
"It was very brief exchange of ideas, and that is it, nothing else. It is just a team talk after a defeat. We had a meeting on the training pitch with my players and technical staff, which is part of our business."
Only if you work for The Sun - who broke the original story on Tuesday morning - could those quotes be read as a massive big tick for your 'bust-up' story.
Mark Irwin writes on Wednesday: 'Benitez last night confirmed SunSports's exclusive report of a training ground row with Blues skipper Terry following Sunday's 2-0 loss at Manchester City?'
Glossing over the 'last night' (it was about 2.30pm) for a second, did he really 'confirm' the story? Or did he simply say it was a 'normal meeting'? Presumably anything short of being forced into an embarrassing apology is considered 'confirmation' if you work for The Sun.
Hands up anybody who thought Rafa Benitez was going to be in charge of Chelsea next season. Nobody? Not even you, Rafa? What do you mean you don't want the job because they're a bunch of...
Well, it seems that Mark Irwin of The Sun thought Interim Manager (there was a clue there if you were paying attention) Benitez was going to be in charge of Chelsea next season. Until that 'angry bust-up'/'normal talk', that is.
'Rafa Benitez has sealed his Chelsea fate after delivering a few home truths' and is 'about to pay the price for his brutal honesty after blaming the players' attitude for the demise of a series of high-profile managers', apparently.
So basically it was all going swimmingly with that 47% Premier League win rate until you opened your mouth, Rafa. Silly, silly boy.
Exclusively Underwhelming
From the Daily Mail website: 'EXCLUSIVE: Di Matteo airbrushed from Chelsea history as club remove Champions League picture featuring former boss'.
They've airbrushed him out of a picture? That's a bit sodding low. Let's read on...
'Roberto Di Matteo has been airbrushed out of Chelsea's Champions League history after the club replaced his image on an iconic wall at Stamford Bridge,' writes Neil 'Mr Dossier' Ashton.
'Chelsea's history-making manager, sacked last November by owner Roman Abramovich, was pictured on the West Stand wall with the rest of the squad and their trophies at the start of the season.
'Di Matteo has now been replaced by a huge image of Chelsea's players and coaching staff - minus the manager - celebrating the club's first European Cup triumph in the Allianz Arena.'
Oh, so he's not been 'airbrushed' (to 'improve the image of (a person or thing) by concealing defects beneath a bland exterior', according to an online dictionary) out of a picture at all? Chelsea have simply replaced one picture with another (better) picture?
Apparently 'Chelsea supporters, who often take souvenir pictures next to the giant poster, have been left stunned by the decision'. Stunned? Really? Mediawatch is similarly stunned that this counts as a story.
Generous Gesture Of The Day
From the Daily Mail: 'Cheers, Sam! Allardyce paid for £1,200 bar bill as Christmas thank you for Hammers backroom staff'.
That's an awful lot of pork scratchings, fella.

New Mexico – New Mexico has been awarded more than $4.2 million in federal funds to support crime prevention and reduction efforts and to assist crime victims.
Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M., said the state Department of Public Safety will get $2.87 million through a U.S. Department of Justice program to help state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies with crime prevention and control.
Prosecutors will receive $1.33 million through another program that helps victims of crime receive accurate and timely information about the status of offenders and events related to their cases.

Jack Straw questions army cuts as threats increase
Rising security threats present an "overwhelming case" for reviewing the 2010 Strategic Defence and Security Review, a senior Labour figure said yesterday.
Jack Straw, who served in the Cabinet for all of Labour's 13 years in office, said events in Algeria, Mali and elsewhere highlighted weaknesses in the SDSR, which has led to cuts in the armed forces – including a third tranche of army redundancies announced on Tuesday.
But answering the query at Prime Minister's Questions, David Cameron insisted Britain was focused on targeting its defence budget in the most effective ways possible.
Mr Cameron replied: "The risks are changing. But the overall point is absolutely, yes, we are going to have a smaller regular army, though the extra reserves will mean the overall level of our army hardly changes size.
"But they will be better equipped, more mobile, more capable of dealing with the modern threats that we face."

Know the Intrinsic Worth of Your Jewels
There are several physical characteristics that define the value of jewels. For those of you who want to get an insight in relation to the intrinsic worth of your jewels, along with the clarity, cut, and color, look out for special optical characteristics such as color zoning and effects. The uneven distribution of coloring within the jewels is known as color zoning and this leads to unusual escalation in the price of the gemstones in certain instances.
Precious jewels such as ruby, diamond, sapphire, pearl, emerald, opal and so forth, are considered to be precious stones, that are often mounted in custom and designer jewelry, to create mystical effects. Some of the other jewels that find a pride of place in jewelry showrooms and boutiques are aquamarine, cat's eye, peridot, amethyst and amber to name a few. In current scenario, the designers and jewelry makers no longer create a distinction in the different gemstones and jewels and they are all being used to craft the most exquisite jewelry pieces.
The changing fashion trends and designs have defined different standards for the valuation of these jewels. With the growing popularity of custom jewelry, an exquisite masterpiece created from a finely cut piece of glass, can often surpass the most expensive designer jewelry pieces. Jewels are forever and it is important to be informed of the real worth of those that lie in your ornate jewelry case.

It would enable you to check out the tree for inspection, but you probably couldn't build anything from it seeing as at least one of the filenames specified in your Makefile wouldn't be present in the work tree. As such, in that kind of situation I'd rather see a big red warning printed out that the checkout failed because a particular file couldn't be written out, and perhaps an instruction to the user that they can use "git show" if they want to see the blob/s which wasn't/ weren't written.
