I recently had a tour of two historic homes of Annapolis, Maryland: the Governor Calvert House and the Maynard-Burgess House. These two homes are polar opposites when it comes to historic preservation. One was home to a former wealthy European American governor of Maryland, the other was continuously owned by two African-American families. One has become a historic hotel next to the Maryland State House (the oldest state capitol used continuously since 1772) while the other has sat vacant since 1990 waiting to become a museum or public garden inviting the public to learn about the rich history of African Americans of Annapolis.
Unless it is set up to generate money, it takes quite a bit of money to preserve a historic home. In a place like Annapolis, the whole city is set up for preservation through the Historic Annapolis Foundation. For over fifty years this amazing foundation has preserved nearly 400 buildings partly by raising funds to purchase historic properties. The Historic Annapolis Foundation petitioned funding from the State of Maryland and Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to pay for resurfacing the sidewalks and placing utility lines underground to preserve the historic look of Annapolis at a cost of millions of dollars. Yet, why is there no money for the preservation of the Maynard-Burgess House?
One of the goals of Archaeology in Annapolis is to study the historic cultural remains of working-class people that history tends to forget, such as the African-American presence in Annapolis. The Maynard-Burgess House is a prime example. In 1831, John Maynard became a free man when he received his certificate of freedom. He also bought the freedom of his wife (Maria) and her daughter (Phebe Ann Spencer) in 1834, then, in 1847, he purchased the freedom of Maria's mother (Phebe Spencer). John and Maria Spencer Maynard bought their house in 1847. John Maynard is listed in the 1860 census as a waiter and he may have worked at the City Hotel. In 1900, a relative and former boarder named Willis Burgess bought the home from the Maynards and the Burgesses lived here until the 1980s.
Archaeology in Annapolis excavated a portion of the backyard and found a rich assemblage of household refuse. These remains reflect the consumption practices of these two African American families as well as issues of race, class, and labor. Fishing became associated with racist notions of African Americans lazily fishing and consuming their catch. In the archaeological record, the presence of fish scales declined over time. Instead of buying or catching fish and removing the scales at home, fish were bought from African American hucksters who sold fresh fish door-to-door and scaled and cleaned it for you. Finding glass bottles and not finding stoneware or glass preserving jars says something else about consumption practices. Food preservation was a common practice in Maryland. African Americans were employed as cooks in hotels and homes throughout Annapolis and they prepared lots of meals with preserved fruits and vegetables. Whereas property owned by whites contained twice as much evidence of home food preservation, properties of African Americans like the Maynard-Burgess home contained little evidence of this practice and instead had more evidence of professionally canned foods purchased from urban markets. It can take all day for home preservation of fruits and vegetables, time that African Americans probably did not have. Also, canned foods bought from national brands meant you got what you paid for. Paul Mullins explains it like this. As a black person walking into a white-owned local grocery store, you might get cheated when purchasing products the grocer filled for his costumer but this did not happen when buying products from national brands. Produce with black spots, worms, or beginning to rot would be sold to African Americans while fresh produce could be brought out especially for white customers. I was recently watching the TV adaptation of "A Raisin in the Sun" about a working-class African American family in 1950s Chicago and this scene is played out in the movie.
So what does this have to do with historic preservation? I ask my readers this question: why is the heritage and practices of rich Anglo Americans preserved more frequently than that of working-class African Americans? Is it race? Is it class? Why is one privileged over the other? A majority of Americans are not financially well-off yet most museums and statues in this country honor a small minority of the wealthy. I say the Maynard-Burgess home is a great way to honor the working-class of this country. It can become a museum showcasing artifacts recovered archaeologically. The backyard can be extended and opened with the adjoining properties to create a public park or a community garden which can be rented for weddings or private parties.
Historic Annapolis Foundation is in charge of the property and has promised to turn it into a museum since the 1990s yet it still remains vacate and unchanged. If millions of dollars can be spent on placing telephone and electric wires underground, why can't some money be spent building a museum and public green space for the whole community and visitors to enjoy?

Foursquare Broadens Partnership With American Express
Amex cardholders using Foursquare will get discounts from merchants.
Amex cardholders using Foursquare will get discounts from merchants.
An American Express program on Foursquare stands to give the geo-location "check-in" service a big boost.
American Express and Foursquare, in a statement today, said "couponless specials" will be offered to consumers who buy services or products at participating merchants.
Under the program, a person would check in at a merchant who is offering a discount on Foursquare, buy a service or product, pay with her American Express card, and then receive the discount on her Amex statement.
At launch, participating merchants are H&M, Sports Authority, and four restaurants owned by the New York City-based Union Square Hospitality Group. An Amex cardholder who spends $75 at H&M, for instance, will receive a $10 credit.
Executives from American Express said they expect the program will "expand rapidly to include additional national and local merchant offers in the coming weeks and months."
Foursquare will not receive revenue from American Express, according to reports. However, its association with American Express could increase the number of people who actively use Foursquare, which claims to have 10 million members. And that could be key to the future of Foursquare, which has been facing increasing competition from rivals that include Facebook, Google, and Groupon.
Tristan Walker, Foursquare's business development director, said the program will help merchants determine the value of its Amex-Foursquare promotions. Metrics that merchants can track include impressions, check-ins, and "loads," which he defined as the special offers that are uploaded to a cardholder's account. He emphasized that Foursquare will not have access to cardholder account information or personally identifiable information, but potentially will be able to obtain metrics about consumer response to offers, broken down by merchants.
People who use Foursquare typically "check in" when they visit a location, such as a business, landmark, or other place. And some businesses offer virtual badges or discounts to people on Foursquare, using the service to reward loyal customers or attract new business.
American Express worked with Foursquare on a trial basis in March at SXSW in Austin, TX. At that time, American Express awarded $5 credits to cardholders who checked in at a venue participating in the promotion.
American Express does not rule out rolling out this program to Facebook or other sites. "We're very close partners with Facebook and they are a good platform to present these types of deals," said Luke Gebb, VP, global network marketing at American Express. "We don't have anything to announce, but that's a great example of what we want to do."

Trupanion Importance of Pet Insurance for Small Pets
|Pet insurance company Trupanion reminds pet owners that small pets are fragile and susceptible to injury.
May 17, 2010 — Trupanion, a pet health insurance company, reminds owners of small pets that pet insurance is especially beneficial for their pets. A small Yorkshire Terrier, Felix, is insured with Trupanion and recently broke his leg. Trupanion repaid the claim in the amount of $2,139.92. Six weeks later, Felix returned to the vet for an examination and jumped from his owner's arms, causing the break of his other front leg.
The company also recently paid a claim to cover the costs of a broken leg for a Chihuahua that was dropped by a child. Trupanion emphasizes the importance of pet insurance for small pets because small pets have smaller and therefore more fragile bones which can easily break, leading to high costs for veterinary treatment. Trupanion hopes that owners of smaller pets will consider a pet insurance plan and take precautions to prevent such injuries. The pet owner can then rest assured that future injuries related to falling or being dropped will be covered by the pet insurance.

Rating: 3.5 of 5 stars
Love ignites in the City That Never Sleeps, but can it last?
Hopeless romantic Isla has had a crush on introspective cartoonist Josh since their first year at the School of America in Paris. And after a chance encounter in Manhattan over the summer, romance might be closer than Isla imagined. But as they begin their senior year back in France, Isla and Josh are forced to confront the challenges every young couple must face, including family drama, uncertainty about their college futures, and the very real possibility of being apart.
Featuring cameos from fan-favorites Anna, Étienne, Lola, and Cricket, this sweet and sexy story of true love—set against the stunning backdrops of New York City, Paris, and Barcelona—is a swoonworthy conclusion to Stephanie Perkins's beloved series.
You know it'll be a fun book when there's a chapter like this:
Isla & the Happily Ever After is everything you would expect from a teen rom-com – the meet-cute, the bit of insta-relationship, the misunderstanding, the teen angst, the grand gesture, and of course the overly cute happily ever after. (With a bonus of some of our favourite characters).
It was a fun read with a lot of cute scenes:
"Those shoes are insane," he says.
I wiggle my red feet. "Maybe they were a bit much."
"Your footwear tends to run on the exceedingly tall side. You know that we all know you're short, right? It's not, like, a secret."
"I like that you're tiny. I like that I can carry you around in my pocket."
(See below for more cute moments)
But also a few downfalls: I wished they were in Manhattan more, Isla and Josh were pretty cute but a bit insta-love and the Isla is a bit juvenile.
All and all, a cute ending to a cute series.
PS. You can check out Jackie's FULL REVIEW of Isla HERE!
"Josh grins. "Just give me your hand."
"Your hand," he repeats. "Give it to me."
I extend my shaking right hand. And-in a moment that is a hundred dreams come true-Joshua Wasserstein laces his fingers through mine. A staggering shock of energy shoots straight into my veins. Straight into my heart.
"There," he says. "I've been waiting a long time to do that."
Not nearly as long as I've been waiting."
"Why did you want me to dress warmly?" she asks. "Are you taking me to a Siberian prison?"
"Abandoned research station in Antarctica?"
"You're taking me to practice for our two-person skeleton race at the Olympics."

Only four Bulgarian parties - those that got most discredited over the past decade thanks to corruption and links with the oligarchy - made it to parliament on Sunday.
It is either because:
1. Bulgarians' level of tolerance to nausea is very high and has got even higher than four years ago.
2. In Bulgaria if you have lots of money, you surely enter parliament.
I would rather put my bet on the second answer.
Prior to the elections the recently ousted center-right GERB party maintained its lead in opinion polls over the Socialists, its main rival.
Interestingly and most surprisingly to all who still believe in fair elections, this is exactly what happened on Sunday....
"State your ethnicity and the REAL IP!"
Yaaawn. Are you ever reading my answers to your posts?
"Why are you attacking Bulgarians?"
Huh? When did I ever "attack Bulgarians"? Are you sure you talk to the right person? Or do you consider anybody who is not agreeing with you on a certain topic as "attacking you"? You really have medical issues then.
"What arguments do you have for calling them stupid, vegetables and whatever?"
Hm, first learn to read properly. I called the statement of a certain politician stupid. And I explained in detail why. I hope even you understand that this is something else than calling Bulgarians stupid. Or do I have to explain that to you more in detail?
And, since you don't know it obviously (seems you are not Bulgarian, LOL) "Chushki" means "peppers", which is - surprise! surprise! - a vegetable. The man is calling HIMSELF - a vegetable. I did nothing else. Contrary to Hairydave who called him - a fruit. Ok, maybe "a fruit" is not an insult, but also a vegetable, especially not a good Bulgarian pepper, isn't one either. Especially since he IS indeed a vegetable. At least according to what he says. So what is your point here exactly? That I refer to someone by the name he is giving HIMSELF? Then blame him, not me.
" Why won't you state your ethnicity you esteemed argumentative assh^ole?"
thanks - of course, a BULGARIAN vegetable will understand everything he said...just like you understand everything I say. LOL
Well said, Sir! But I am not sure if the vegetable gets the point.
Chushki old fruit, whatever you think of my opinion you are, like Sveto, failing to deal with what has been said.
Just constantly shouting "commies" at the BSP is easy and ineffective. It's an old cliche, and like many things that have outlived their time - it is a dead cliche. If you want to tackle the BSP you have to tackle them for what they are now - not what they once were. They clearly are not advocating old communist policies, they are advocating a form of socialism (with the modern capitalistic add-ons in some areas). If you thinkt hey are wrong then deal with what they stand for and say now.
As for me, if you don't think I understand the legacy of communism, I'm comfortable with that because this is the internet and your personal opinion of me doesn't matter. However if you want to debate the issues then tell me why I am wrong, point to the holes in the argument. A sweeping "you donlt understand" without justification simply means you are ere either lazy, incapable of making a coherent argument or that you don't have an argument and just want to drop down to that old internet tradition of slagging each other off without thought or reason.
As for the article I do wonder why people keep coming to read this site just to insult the journalists? And whatever you think of the quality of it - as least it starts a debate. And truth can only be found through an argument.
......commies, communism, communist legacy in Bulgaria...;-).....
With a real respect to Sveto's opinion, I'd remark that Hairydave
made a very timely emphasis on the definition: Communism-and all
various derivatives-what is it? If it is "a hypothetical formation based on a classless, moneyless and stateless social order structured upon common ownership of the means of production", then I'm for it, for such a future......Commies/communists: who are they, what are they? People of the gone-with-the wind "Soviet Block" or their leaders only, or those leaders' followers (but then Ivanko was absolutely right: such "followers" are sooner "capitalists" today), or the existing in, say, modern China and Vietnam communist regimes and peoples? Or, at last, is it people sharing/professing a communist idea in all its numerous forms? And if the latter, then I'm a communist, anarchist-communist ;-) since Prince Kropotkin' theory and its main principles: "decentralizing-freedom-equality [?galit?]-mutual aid" are close to me (exept some thesises)...
To try to get what is hidden behind the definitions, behind "democracy", "communism","capitalism"..."EU;-)" or anything else that "has to do with the current political and economic system", as Ivanko once remarked.........
Where to start? A weak, poorly written article with little in the way of argumentation or indeed context - not that surprising, however.
Hairydave - the 'little italy' clich? shows you dont understand the legacy of communism in Bulgaria and the rest of your comments just go to underline your general ignorance of the situation in the country.
For a start I suggest you go look up communist in a dictionary, then come back, although you may want to do a little historical study as well.
The point is, Bulgaria is broken and this election is clearly not going to fix it. And that's a shame, but that's democracy. Although there was no doubt a reasonable amount of corruption it is unlikely to have had a major impact on the result - Boyko is an effective populist in the Berlusconi model - he has enough understanding to get the masses to vote for him despite his obvious and well reported flaws. He is obviously as honest as the day is long (granted, that would be mid winters day in the arctic, but still...) Stanishev appeals to the old, and to those that thought he was the only chance of getting a party that was not GERB.
Messy time in politics, lots of back room deals to be done a palms to be crossed with silver. Can a stable coalition be built on back of this, probably not this time. Sadly there won't even be enough momentum to reform the election code before the next election is called. It would be nice to be wrong but I think Bg is cursed to the worst type of political class for the long term, as sort of 'Little Italy'. On the good side, just like Italy, the country is lousy with good places to eat!!
If you have not noticed, Milena Hristova and a most all of the novitiate columnists are the worst of the worst communist manipulation scum out there. They spread right out false statements and in this activity they are only rivaled by TV7, and the trash "journalist" Barekov.

Local officials at five Norwegian schools have rescheduled their midterm exams so students can attend a string of upcoming Justin Bieber concerts.
Ministry of Education and Research representatives fear devoted Bieber fans in the outer Alesund region will skip class to travel to the city of Oslo, where the Baby hitmaker is set to hit the stage for two shows later this month (16-17Apr13), so they have rejigged their testing schedules to accommodate ticket-holding teens.
Education minister Kristin Halvorsen tells the Associated Press, "I am concerned that students should be concentrating when they take tests and midterms. The local schools have the responsibility to schedule the local midterms, and if they think there is any reason to change the dates, they have authority to do so. We've all been 14 years old and know that interests can be intense."

Referential Integrity, Ted & Alice
For whatever reason, James hasn't moderated-in my comment on his Random Thoughts for 2009-01-18, so here it is in blog entry form...
For some reason, James has a bee in his bonnet over referential integrity and LDAP. I'm really not sure where he's coming from here - both OpenDS and OpenLDAP offer referential integrity (OpenDS ref int doc, OpenLDAP ref int doc), and Sun Directory Server has offered it for years (Sun Directory Server ref int doc). Does this answer your question, James, or am I missing something?
By the way, if you're wondering about the title of this post, it's an allusion to the mighty Half Man Half Biscuit's 1986 track Architecture and Morality, Ted & Alice, which itself was a play on the titles of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark's 1981 album Architecture & Morality and the 1969 movie Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice. If there was any justice in the world, there'd be a neat link back to the world of identity here, but there isn't, so there's not...
Hey Pat, might be worth mentioning that the OpenDS ref int plugin isn't enabled by *default*.
By default, the referential integrity plug-in is disabled. When you enable the plug-in by using dsconfig, it performs integrity updates on the member,uniquemember attributes immediately after a delete, rename, or move operation. Whenever you delete, rename, or move a user or group entry in the directory, the operation is logged to the referential integrity log file install-dir/logs/referint.

Do car thefts go up in the summer? Does where you live increase the likelihood your car will be found if it's stolen? Progressive Insurance examined its 2012 Personal Lines data to answer those questions and more. The car insurance company found:
The data also showed how likely cars were to be recovered. While on average a car was recovered roughly 46% of the time, the state-by-state recovery rate varied greatly. In Washington, the highest state for recovery, cars were recovered 71% of the time. In Michigan, the lowest state for recovery, cars were recovered just 19% of the time.
So how do you prevent your car from being stolen? Progressive Claims Trainer and former Virginia State Trooper Todd Golling is an expert on break-ins, and has advice on how to deter thieves from targeting your car for theft, or a break-in.
"Thieves are lazy, so if you do anything to make their job more difficult, they'll move on to the next car," said Golling. "Even if you don't have a car alarm, if you have a sticker that says you do, your car becomes a less likely target."
Golling also offers this advice about where to be extra careful with your car.
"Anywhere that you'll be parked for a long time - churches, sports venues, concerts, etc. - are targets for car thieves," continued Golling. "That applies to the theft of the car itself and items in the car. Remove everything from your car when you're at those kinds of places."
Below are some best practices from Todd Golling to make your car less of a target.

PNB is proud to present the American premiere of Alexei Ratmansky's full-length Don Quixote, created for Dutch National Ballet in 2010. Based on an episode from Cervantes' famous novel, Don Quixote de la Mancha, the story follows its title hero, a middle-aged country gentleman absorbed with tales of chivalry and a dream-lover, Dulcinea.
With his squire Sancho Panza, Don Quixote ventures to the legendary city of Barcelona and discovers spirited young lovers Kitri and Basilio. When Kitri's father plots her marriage to a wealthy fool, the couple hides with a troupe of actors whose play-acting causes the Don to be transported by visions fair and foul. Kitri is eventually discovered and feigns a broken heart when Basilio pretends to stab himself in despair. Don Quixote intervenes for the lovers so persuasively that Kitri's father must give his consent, and all celebrate the wedding as the Don resumes his quest.
Don Quixote's bravura classical dances showcase soloist virtuosity as dramatically as its mime and humor reveal accomplished character players. At the center of the ballet's passionate Castilian heart, Ludwig Minkus' rousing score endows each scene with rich atmosphere, deepened by Jérôme Kaplan's (Roméo et Juliette) vibrant costumes and amber-washed sets. All elements combine with Ratmansky's innately expressive movement to treat theater-lovers of all ages to a first look at this smash hit.
On Tuesday, January 31 spend your lunch hour at the Central Seattle Public Library for a free lunchtime preview of PNB's Don Quixote. Education Programs Manager Doug Fullington will offer insights about Don Quixote, complete with video excerpts. 12:00pm – 1:00pm.

text: Anonym / April-07-15 Integration: The Next Quality Frontier Moving from Sectors to One System; from Ideas to Implementation. Creating an integrated health care system is one of the great quality challenges currently facing Ontario – and many other health systems. It involves bringing together different parts of the patient journey into a more coordinated experience. While we have worked to build up individual health care sectors – think new hospitals with wait time improvements, primary care reform, enhancements to Community Care Access Centres, and strengthening of long-term care homes – the trick now is creating a system that becomes stronger than the sum of its parts to allow patients to move through it seamlessly. Of course, integrating care is more easily said than done. I recently read a brief from the World Health Organization that said there are more examples of polices that call for integrated services than concrete instances of their actual application. Part of the difficulties associated with integrated care is the number of challenges as people transition from one part of the system to another. There are different physical locations, care providers, organizational cultures and information management/information technology systems. It is at these transition points that the risks to quality increase, because we do not currently have the same kind of quality oversight structures in place that we do in individual care organizations. We have built legislative, regulatory, governance, policy, and best practice standards to monitor and improve the quality of a given part of the system. However these very important structures don't typically span sectors. Integrated care closes those gaps and creates seamless patient transitions, through a tight-knit system of "hand offs" between providers and organizations across all sectors. In turn, integrated care improves quality, because it demands that we follow the principles of better data, leadership, communication, transparency, and accountability – all of which are necessary for better outcomes. Health Links are a good example of how Ontario's health system is working to embody these principles. Health Links are composed of interconnected teams of family doctors, specialists, hospitals, home care, long-term care, and community support agencies. They are designed to support integrated care for patients with the most complex needs, and they work with Local Health Integrated Networks (LHINs) to coordinate more responsive care, to ensure access, and to improve patient experiences. Integrated Funding Models are another example of how we can work together to improve health outcomes. It is an initiative that supports sector-led innovation by encouraging health care providers and organizations to test new approaches and align incentives to integrate funding and promote high-quality care throughout a patient's journey – irrespective of who provides that care and where it takes place. New payment models based on enhancing coordination care will help us move forward to improve patient care and integration across the health system as well as increase value-for-money at the same time. There are other priority initiatives in place, related to palliative care and mental health, which require a level of integration across sectors. While we are still a ways off from a fully integrated health care system, it is heartening to see ongoing efforts to push the province toward high-quality seamless care, where the system moves as one for the patient. I look forward to continuing to talk about integration and will be making it a focus in my next blog too. In the meantime, I'd love to hear your thoughts on what a well-integrated system looks like to you. Please Tweet me @DrJoshuaTepper or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

- PotlatchDeltic's road system is essential to the management and protection of the company's forestland as well as providing recreation access. Keeping our road systems in good repair serves all interests. For that reason, we ask visitors to restrict road use at times when excess rutting will result - during the spring thaw and after heavy rains, for example.
Drive Safely
- PotlatchDeltic's roads are a convenience to visitors and their use is a privilege. Logging trucks and other vehicles use the road system regularly for business seven days a week. Watch for these vehicles. Violations of common sense rules of the road, speeding and reckless driving should be reported when observed. Violations are cause for termination of access privileges and are subject to enforcement action by local authorities.
Road Restrictions
- Some roads may be closed to visitors during specific times of they year and when there is heavy use by company and contractor vehicles. These closures are for the safety of visitors. Violating road closure requirements can be cause for termination of access privileges.
- Pack it in, Pack it out! Whatever visitors bring in, they must remove when they leave. It's common courtesy. Dumping of trash of any kind - construction waste, appliances, abandoned vehicles - is strictly prohibited.
- Recreational panning is the only form of prospecting allowed.
Illegal Activities

Company roads will be maintained as time and opportunity permit. Roads may remain impassable for long periods of time without repair due to company activities. PotlatchDeltic has no obligation to repair or maintain roads for recreational use.
- ATVs are allowed on PotlatchDeltic lands, but only on existing roads. Building new ATV trails, abusing existing roads, or driving off roads causes erosion and damages the land, and will not be tolerated by PotlatchDeltic. ATV users should abide by the laws of Idaho and manufacturer guidelines with regard to the use of ATV's.
- The speed limit on PotlatchDeltic roads is 25 miles per hour unless otherwise posted; this applies to ALL vehicle types including ATVs, motorcycles and snowmobiles. As on public roads, lower speeds may be appropriate based on weather and road conditions, vehicle type, and other considerations.
- PotlatchDeltic maintains the right to exclude from the lands any person for conduct which, in PotlatchDeltic's opinion, is in violation of these guidelines.
- At any time of the year, it may become necessary for PotlatchDeltic to conduct activities including, but not limited to, road building, logging, site preparation, or tree planting on the property. PotlatchDeltic will not be responsible for damages or inconveniences to public users due to these activities.

A Saudi-backed Syrian opposition delegation has met the UN's special envoy Staffan de Mistura for the first time, demanding efforts to improve humanitarian conditions on the ground or they will shun political negotiations.
"We only came to Geneva after receiving assurances and commitments and we have precise commitments on the fact there would be serious progress on the humanitarian situation," Bassma Kodmani, who is part of the opposition negotiating delegation, told a news conference on Sunday (local time).
"We can't start political negotiations until we have those gestures (in place)."
The delegation representing the High Negotiations Committee is seeking a halt to attacks on civilian areas, the release of detainees and a lifting of blockades.
The measures were mentioned in a Security Council resolution approved last month that endorsed the peace process for Syria.
Kodmani said assurances had been given to them by de Mistura, UN Secretary General Ban ki-Moon and US Secretary of State John Kerry.
She said that since impetus for the talks had started, however, Syrian government forces and ally Russia seemed "deaf" to those demands, with military action increasing.
Salim al-Muslat, spokesman for the HNT, said they were ready to move 10 steps if the government delegation moved just one, but that he believed there was little intention by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to make concessions.
"The regime did not come to find a solution, but buy more time to kill more Syrian people," he said.
Farah Atassi, another opposition member, said it was too early to say how long the delegation would remain in Geneva.

You Do What You Can
I was watching an old CSI:NY episode (#601). I watch them because the characters are good, the plotting is good, and they deal with real life issues while being true to the characters. One of the main characters (Danny, for those who know), recently wounded in a drive-by shooting, appears in a wheelchair to meet with a potential source of information who will talk only to him. She has a peripheral acquaintance with him and with the shooters that makes her feel responsible for his crippling. A shadowy assailant appears to shoot the girl informant, who falls to the floor and lies, bleeding....Read More

Robert Hickson outlines some trends to keep an eye out for this year – and over the longer term.
A stagnating economy
Whether the Euro and/or the European Union shatter or shrink is only part of current economic uncertainty. China won't be the same economic prop that it was in 2008. Its growth is slowing as the easy growth opportunities disappear. There are concerns of inflation and a housing bubble in China.
The OECD has warned that the unpredictable "animal spirits" of the market threaten the stability of many governments (finally, the shamanistic nature of economics is acknowledged?). Brian Easton has noted that many of the economists of his acquaintance expect a long global stagnation and aren't sure how long it will last.
Most of the global discussion at the moment is about austerity. The stimulus packages put in place in 2008 are largely gone, so how will economies grow? Some liberal economists (Stiglitz, Krugman, and Roubini) point to the need for additional stimuli, but politicians don't appear enthusiastic.
Longer term, the growing middle classes of Asia are likely to re-stimulate economic growth. But why should we sit and wait for that to happen?
Two degrees of warming
International opinion widely concurs that insufficient action has been taken so far to contain greenhouse gas emissions to levels that would prevent an assumed "safe" global temperature rise of 2o Celsius. The International Energy Agency's 2011 Outlook notes that "the door is closing" on the chance of keeping C02 emission levels below 450 ppm to meet this target.
The New Zealand Climate Change Centre has a helpful briefing on the challenge of limiting warming to 2 degrees. The impacts of such a temperature rise (or even a lesser one) are uncertain, but analyses are getting better at attributing extreme weather events to changing climate. However, more evidence won't necessarily change the minds of those who don't accept humans can change the climate.
3D printing
The ability to print three dimensional objects is developing rapidly. It is no longer the realm of garage-based hobbyists, but is being applied to aircraft parts (as well as the whole plane), electronics, and medicine (bone and soft tissues).
It is too early to claim that it is the next industrial revolution, but it is opening up new design and manufacturing opportunities, both for established and new companies. And the larger issue it highlights is a growing interest in Do It Yourself technology development (be it biology or engineering) that may lead to new well springs of innovation, similar to what has occurred in the software sector, and what kick-started the first industrial revolution.
More data
Avind Krishna from IBM predicts that in 2020 there will be 35 zettabytes of data (let's just say that's an awful lot), compared with 800,000 petabytes in 2009. (Of course all computer companies would say there will be more data, but we can see this in our daily lives too).
To help make that more imaginable – a smart phone user now may download about 15MB of data a day. In 2020 that may be 1 GB. The interesting issue is what we will be able to do with that information.
However, our ability to absorb and understand the information may limit this trajectory.
And now, some key trends to think about for the longer term:
700 quadrillion
770 actually. The amount of energy (in British Thermal Units) the planet may be using in 2035, up from 505 quadrillion Btu in 2008, according to the Energy Information Administration's International Energy Outlook 2011 Reference Case projection. A quadrillion is 10 to the power of 15. And one quadrillion Btu is the energy released by burning 45 million tons of coal.
Most of that additional energy will be consumed in the developing world, and most will still be derived from fossil fuels. How much of our energy will be from renewable resources by then? The EIA projects a rise from 10 to 14 percent renewables by 2035. Shell optimistically forecast 30 percent renewables by 2050, but admit that is an ambitious target.
The cost of photovoltaic cells is declining by around 7 percent a year. This may mean that the cost per watt of PV cells will, in 2030, be close to 50 US cents. This will make solar power a more attractive option for the public and private sectors; especially if better battery systems can store unneeded (solar) power.
The falling cost of solar panels is forcing some companies out of the field. The economics and technological innovations of solar as well as other renewables are changing rapidly making them risky investments. Nevertheless, some big companies are still investing in solar and other forms of renewable energy.
Eight wildcards
At least. Terrorism, oil (or water) shocks, resource booms, pandemics, natural disasters, financial crises (again), fecklessness, scientific breakthroughs.
Not a trend, I admit. But it is important to remember that we are going to be surprised one way or the other.
Nine billion people
By 2050. More people with more money are anticipated to require 70 percent more food production globally, relative to 2009 levels. Is that achievable? The FAO report notes that another one billion tonnes of cereals and 200 million extra tonnes of livestock products will need to be produced every year. But the rate of growth in agricultural production in developing countries now is half what it was a few years ago.
Half the world may live in water-scarce regions then (up from 36 percent now). Seventy percent will also live in cities and towns in 2050 (compared with 49 percent now). Using more water and land, as we have done in the past, isn't likely to be feasible. So it will be a case of getting more from less, but will that be possible and affordable without relying on oil, which was a major enabler of the green revolution?
Conflicts over resources may consequently grow.
The UK's Foresight report The Future of Food and Farming identified five key future challenges to feeding the world:
(i). Sustainable and balanced demand and supply – to ensure that food supplies are affordable.
(ii). Adequate stability in food supplies – and protecting the most vulnerable from the volatility that does occur.
(iii). Achieving global access to food and ending hunger.
(iv). Managing the contribution of the food system to the mitigation of climate change.
(v). Maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services while feeding the world.
More inequality
The OECD's Divided we Stand report notes that income inequality in OECD countries has increased on average by 10 percent over the last two decades.
New Zealand's rate of change has been particularly large. Tim Hazeldine points out in the New Zealand Herald that much of the change in New Zealand's inequality occurred between 1987 and 1995 after the reforms introduced by Roger Douglas. Nonetheless the above figure shows that the trend is, for most of us, in the wrong direction.
The Occupy Wall Street, Auckland, Wellington, etc movements haven't had much real impact yet, apart from awareness-raising. Without specific demands they may not amount to much . But some of the underlying sentiments will prevail, and likely re-emerge in sharper form so long as inequalities persist. The recent protests are also feeding into more influential discussions (conducted by economists, academics and journalists) about more equitable forms of capitalism that will be interesting to watch. Other economists, though, consider the fundamentals of capitalism to be sound; change in other parts of the economy (such as health and education), they suggest, are needed.
Random Robots
Not yet our overlords, but we'll be working, playing and fighting with or against them more frequently.
Looking after our health needs (and this and this).
Therapeutic bots
Robotic guide dogs
Robots to reduce snoring -
Soft and inflatable robots breaking free from metal
Robot cars and quadrupeds
Robotic guards and micro flying spies.
Cooperative robots
And keep an eye on the increasing synergy between man and machines. As Mark Billinghurst noted, the physical & mental barriers between humans and machines are rapidly breaking down. While robots are taking more human jobs, there is also a growing recognition of opportunities where humans and computers can achieve more together than either alone.
Twelve new ways of governing
Poetic licence rather than a strict dozen. The preceding 11 give a flavour of the complex and uncertain times ahead. It is critical to recognise when a problem (or opportunity) is complex and to respond accordingly. New ways to manage complexity are required.
The US's National Intelligence Council's report on Global Governance in 2025 noted that existing governance frameworks are "…not going to be sufficient to keep pace with the looming number of transnational and global challenges …" They don't advocate for a global government, but note that States and non-state actors (regions, corporations, NGOs, and other organisations) will need to cooperate in more innovative ways to manage systemic and interrelated problems (such as food, energy and water).
On the other hand, Nobel Laureate Elinor Ostrom advocates greater freedom for communities to develop their own and more enduring solutions to their challenges through what she calls "polycentric governance".
WWF has also noted that new community and NGO approaches need to be explored to more effectively address environmental issues. Landcare Research in New Zealand is working with communities on a range of such issues to find good local solutions (See Chapter 22 in Hatched).
Rather than it being a case of government's always getting out of the way, there will also be a need for governments to, once again, be innovative leaders and champions in addressing complex issues. Hopefully we'll see healthy tension between local and global governance.
New ways for governing and regulating technologies are also being called for – not just by those fearful of new technologies, but also by some who want to ensure we get the greatest benefit from new developments.

ALBANY >> It wasn't a vintage performance by the Niskayuna boys lacrosse on Saturday evening, but it did enough to beat Shaker, 13-8, in the Section II Class A final at the University at Albany.
Evan Maloney led the way with four goals and an assist for a team-high five points. John Prendergast recorded a hat trick and Aidan O'Brien assisted on three goals.
The win gave Niskayuna (17-2) it's fourth consecutive Section II title and the 14th in the program's over two-decade history.
"It's the tradition, the guys that came before these guys that set the tone for the program," Silver Warriors head coach Mike Vorgang said. "This is our 22nd year and it's about everybody that came before and set the tone. As (these) guys were growing up they saw those other guys playing and wanted to aspire to be who they were. Year after year we get great kids from great families and that's the most important part."
Early on neither side put its stamp on the game. The Silver Warriors held a 4-3 lead after one quarter of play. In the second quarter, neither team scored for the first 9 minutes, 57 seconds. Then, Nisky reeled off three goals in a span of just over a minute to take control of the contest.
James Sexton scored the first of the three with 2:03 before the halftime break. He worked his way to the front of the net, took a feed from O'Brien and rifled it by Blue Bison goalie Christian Schupp. On the next possession Sexton found Prendergast who fired a bullet from long range that put the Silver Warriors up 6-3 and, after he grabbed a rebound in the offensive zone, Maloney scored unassisted to cap the run with 55 seconds left in the half.
Both sides scored once more before the break.
"After the first quarter, when we came out as slow as we did, our coaches and our seniors told us that we needed to pick it up and start executing more," Maloney said. "We did that and it showed."
The third stanza was another low-scoring affair but the Silver Warriors tallied three goals and held the Blue Bison to just one extending the lead to 11-5. Maloney was a key figure with an assist on Aidan Byrne's goal just 1:30 into the third quarter. He followed with an unassisted goal 1:31 later for the 10-4 lead.
Jared Hoff got Shaker within 10-5 with 24 seconds left in the frame but Prendergast put the Silver Warriors back up by six with his third goal of the game with 18.4 ticks to go before the final quarter.
As was the case for most of the game, the stingy defense from both sides didn't allow much scoring in the final quarter. The Blue Bison won the quarter 3-2. Stephen Rehfuss who finished with two goals and five assists for the game-high seven points, scored the first Blue Bison goal of the fourth. Matthew Woods, who had the team-high four goals, had the final two Shaker scores. Niskayuna, however, never gave the Blue Bison a chance to make a real run in the end.
For Prendergast this sectional title was extra special as each playoff game has the potential to be the last of his impressive high school career.
"The first one was great but the last one is a little bit different, a little more special," said the Duke-bound senior midfielder. "I'm definitely happy that we pulled it off, you don't want to be the senior class that doesn't. I'm grateful for the opportunity to play and win."
While happy with another sectional championship, the ultimate goal is a state title and the next step towards that is to try and get past Section IX winner, undefeated Warwick (17-0), at Middletown High School on May 27.
"We need to be consistent," Vorgang said of the key to Wednesday's game. "We're going to turn (the ball) over, but when we turn it over we're going to have to try and get some more of those 50-50 balls back. We can't have many procedures on the face-offs and we just need to make sure we're a little more patient than we showed at times (Saturday) night."
Section II Class A Final
Niskayuna 13, Shaker 8
Shaker 3 1 1 3 — 8
Niskayuna 4 4 3 2 — 13
Shaker: Stephen Rehfuss 2-5-7, Matthew Woods 4-0-4, Luke Julien 1-1-2, Jared Hoff 1-0-1.
Niskayuna: Evan Maloney 4-1-5, John Prendergast 3-0-3, Aidan O'Brien 0-3-3, Aidan Byrne 2-0-2, Dylan Pantalone 1-1-2, James Sexton 1-1-2, Michael Doxie 1-0-1, Lucas Quinn 1-0-1.
Saves: S — Christian Schupp 5, Andrew Leahey 2; N — Nick Testa 6.

What Customers Say
"Our Grandfather passed away and my brother, sister and I inherited his Stockton house. He was a junkman and hoarder. He was also 90 years old and had not made a repair to the house in years. He had garage sales almost every day. The house and the yard were full of junk. We tried to get everything out so we could just see the house. We had family and friends come over on the weekends but the cost and effort was consuming all of our time.The house was a mess. I called Peter Westbrook and he made us a cash offer for the house and he said he would take care of all of the clean up. Thank God I called. The City had issued code violations and fines on the property and even before we closed escrow Peter and his crew had the house and yard cleaned (4 large Dumpsters later) . I recommend Peter Westbrook to anyone that has a problem house. They were fast and professional"Connie J.
"I had tried to sell my Mothers Stockton house for two years. Realtor's told me to tear it down. I didn't have the money for that and my Brother and his family were living there. Peter Westbrook made me a cash offer and closed escrow with my brother still in the house. Peter Westbrook is my savior. I don't have to worry about the house any more. If you have a Stockton house that has become a burden and you don't have the money to fix it to sell it, call Peter Westbrook."Rosemary R.
I needed to sell my Stockton House. I called a phone number I saw on a sign and talked to Peter Westbrook. The City of Stockton said that they were going to take away my vacant Stockton house, knock it down and send me the bill to do it. I did everything that I could to try to make them happy. A neighbor offered to buy the house and then Peter offered me twice as much. He did everything he said he would do and I just had to go to the Title Company and sign the papers. He did all of the work and now the City of Stockton is his problem. Thank you Peter.Ann C
We inherited my parents Stockton house with a mortgage. We decided to rent it out. The tenants destroyed the house. I didn't know what to do, I didn't have the money to fix it and the city had already issued code violations.. I called an "I Buy Houses Stockton Sign" on a telephone pole and Peter Westbrook answered. In 4 days he paid the bank and bought my house. We would have lost everything if it weren't for Peter Westbrook.Mike B
I inherited my mothers house with a mortgage. When my husband and I lost our jobs, we got behind in payments. Then the Bank posted a default with a auction date we didn't know what to do. We didn't have the $15,000.00 and we only had two weeks to do something. We called Peter Westbrook and form the beginning he was confident he could stop the bank. Within 4 days he bought the house with cash, paid off the bank and stopped the Foreclosure. Without Peter we would have lost everything.Brenda T
I saw a sign on a telephone pole and against my better judgement I called. The last thing I expected was a person answering the phone. I was surprised, Peter Westbrook answered the phone. I had a lot of questions and Peter had the right answers. My mother needed to get as much as possible out of the house and we had talked to several real estate agents and they all wanted to sell it cheap and wanted a 6% commission. They all told us unless we put thousands of dollars into it could not be sold for what we wanted. Not Peter. He made a fair cash offer and since then we have sold him another house. Peter and the title company handled everything. I couldn't be happier and I would recommend Peter Westbrook to anyone.Cathy W
We inherited our parents house with one of our brothers living there . The property taxes had not been paid and it was in Tax default. We called Peter Westbrook and he found that the title was still in our parents name, so the Stockton House never went through probate. Peter also found that there was an old auto loan that had a lien on the title and an old bankruptcy ruling to take care of that lien had never been filed with the courts. Peter handled everything including paying the back taxes, paying for the hiring a Probate Attorney and filing the probate and paying for and hiring a Bankruptcy Attorney to finalize the removal of the lien. He was patient, understanding and he took care of everything including evicting the tenants that were living in the house. We talked to real estate agents and other I buy house people. None of them had the answers for our situation. Without peter we would have lost everything. We got paid cash.Steve H
The City of Stockton was getting ready to tear down my old house. I was no longer able to maintain the Stockton House and after years of trying to keep up with code violations, needed repairs and vandalism, I finally called Peter Westbrook. He came right out and told me what he could do. He contacted the city and county and even cleaned up the property before he bought it. He paid the back taxes for me and gave me an advance on the purchase of the house. Without his help I would have lost everything. I called real estate agents and other investors but no one wanted to help and no one offered to pay as much as Peter Westbrook. He completely remodeled the house and I smile every time I go by. Thank you Peter.Leonard S
I inherited my Fathers Stockton house. The front porch was falling in, the walls had holes from being vacant and vandalized. The City of Stockton fined us, red tagged the property and forced us to put on a new roof so we had to get loans and we still couldn't rent it out. I called one of those "I Buy Houses" signs and Peter Westbrook came out and made a cash offer. The House closed escrow and we got our money for a house we though was worthless. Thanks Peter!"Broderick R.

Saturday, June 13, 2015, contributed to glorious history as Swedish Prince Carl Philip (36) tied the knot with former reality TV star, Sofia Hellqvist (30). The grand, royal ceremony, taking place at in Stockholm's Royal Palace chapel, was a fairytale wedding. Both bride and groom seemed ecstatic, exchanging wedding vows after a four-year long relationship. They were unable to hide their broad smiles and make a spectacular entrance in front of family, friends and members of European royalty.
Third to the throne, Duke of Värmland brought sovereignty to top model Sofia, who is now entitled as Princess Sofia. The Swedish royal family welcomed her with open arms, great warmth and enthusiasm. Prince, who is a Major in Swedish Navy, looked dapper in a navy tuxedo, a military cap and an armed force batch around his neck hanging down from his bow tie. Beside him, Sofia chose to wear an elegant white lace, full-sleeved gown created by a Swedish designer, Ida Sjöstedt. Her hair was parted from the middle and neatly tied back in a low bun, further fastened with a veil.
Dressed to nines, new Princess of Sweden walked gracefully post-rituals, holding a lovely roses bunch in one hand, and the other one held firmly with her new royal husband. She accessorized her drawn-out wedding dress with a pair of glittering drop earrings and a stunning diamond tiara (a precious welcome gift from her in-laws) consisting of striking emeralds at peaks. These fascinating luscious green gemstones added a colorful twist to a bride's all-white attire.
Although, Princess Philip is a more modern woman, we noticed she blended well with Royalty. In fact, her radiant bridal looks brought tears of joy to Philip and his sister, Victoria. Philip's choice of a sleek diamond eternity wedding band for his Empress symbolizes their everlasting shared bond.
Carl's mother and sisters introduced an outstanding touch of aristocracy to nuptials as well. While mom-to-be, Princess Madeleine arrived in a luxurious pink gown with her husband and daughter, Crown Princess Victoria wore a dusky white gown to share smiles on their brother's big day. Queen Silvia (mother) stunned all guests as she walked with husband King Carl XVI Gustaf, in an embellished orchid gown, a diamond necklace, ravishing diamond and sapphire earrings, and a matching diamond and sapphire tiara. Adding to imperialism, Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, Queen Maxima of Netherlands and Queen Sonja of Norway also showed their benign presence to bless the wedded couple. We were thrilled to see extravagant jewelry and incredible tiaras.
Following a romantic and heartwarming wedding celebration, the newlyweds rode in a lavish horse carriage for a sumptuous gala dinner. We wish them a blissful life together and bless their hearts for many years to come.

Now that Donald Trump has been elected the 45th president of the United States, his transition team has to decide what to do about his many businesses. The current plan, as reiterated by Rudy Giuliani on Sunday, is to set up a "blind trust" that will hand over the management of The Trump Organization to his three oldest children, who are all executive vice presidents at the company.
According to NPR, most US presidents put their investments in a blind trust, using an independent financial adviser free of potential conflicts of interest. But the Trump children are not an independent third-party, meaning their takeover would not technically be "blind."
Trump's decisions as president-elect so far have done little to separate his children from his political life. Ivanka, Donald Jr., and Eric are all serving on the executive committee of their father's transition team, which could pose a conflict of interest once he reaches the White House, as they are in a position to help appoint others to roles that could create beneficial policies and conditions for The Trump Organization.
Here are the major properties and businesses that could present a conflict of interest under the current transition plan. It's important to note that The Trump Organization does not own all of the properties that bear the Trump name. Many just license his name.

Medal Winner: Thimble Summer
When Garnet finds a silver thimble in the sand by the river, she is sure it's magical. But is it magical enough to help her pig, Timmy, win a blue ribbon on Fair Day? (Summary via Goodreads.com)
This is one of those books that you could describe as charming. I love county fairs and kids having good old-fashioned fun, and that's what Thimble Summer is all about. As with many of my childhood Newbery reads, I just wish I could remember more about it!
Rating: Good but Forgettable
Mr. Popper's Penguins
The Poppers unexpectedly come into possession of a penguin, then get a penguin from the zoo who mates with the first penguin to have 10 baby penguins. Before long, something must be done before they eat the Poppers out of house and home! (Summary via Goodreads.com)
This is probably one of the best-known Newbery books ever given the award (aside from the Little House on the Prairie series and A Wrinkle in Time), and for good reason. It's funny, cute, and a little ridiculous. Mr. Popper somehow acquires a houseful of penguins, which he and his family must then deal with. Kids have loved this book for decades, and I don't think that will change anytime soon.
Rating: Pretty Darn Good

Specials being sent to ambulance calls
Techie1 posted a topic in Police Oracle FeaturesPilot underway in Hampshire where type of medical emergency 'could include cardiac arrest'. Special constables in Hampshire are now serving as first responders for the ambulance service. A trial has begun which will see six specials, who have been trained by paramedics, deployed to carry out initial lifesaving treatment at medical emergencies where an ambulance would struggle to get there in time. A statement from the South Central Ambulance Service (SCAS) says: "The type of medical emergencies the special constables could be sent to include patients in cardiac arrest where every second saved before treatment commences makes a real difference to the patient surviving." Local Police Federation chairman John Apter said the scheme is covering gaps in the "broken" ambulance service with resources from another overstretched one. Richard Tracey, SCAS community responder manager, said: "Due to the nature of their work, the special constables in Hampshire are often roaming across the more rural parts of the county. "If we get a 999 emergency call saying someone is in cardiac arrest in such areas, they could be the closest medically trained person to the incident by a good few minutes." The training provided by SCAS enables the specials to carry out basic lifesaving skills, including the use of oxygen and a defibrillator, which can be used to provide a shock to patients in cardiac arrest. Hampshire Special Constabulary Deputy Chief Officer Russell Morrison said: "The partnership has enabled the six special constables to develop and enhance their emergency first aid capabilities. "It is something they are extremely passionate about; being able to offer an additional, potential lifesaving service to the communities and people they help keep safe." The specials will respond for SCAS to medical emergencies in their patrol vehicles under normal road conditions. This is similar to the service provided by existing community first responders across the ambulance service region. The ambulance service says the specials will be classified as first responders when deployed by them so should the patient they help dies it will not count as a death following police contact for the purposes of an IPCC investigation. Hampshire Police Federation chairman John Apter said: "Any initiative which sees police officers assisting other 999 services such as this and giving first aid to those who need it will be a good thing, however for years police officers have given first aid. "But this initiative is papering over the cracks of a broken ambulance service with scarce police resources, at a time when our officers are struggling to respond to our own 999 calls. "If our special constabulary do have extra capacity then why don't we deploy them to where they're needed in some of our busiest areas?" View on Police Oracle
Guardian: Ambulance callouts to London police custody suites double in four years
Techie1 posted a topic in UK Police/Crime NewsThe number of ambulances called out to police custody suites in London more than doubled, from 2,374 to 5,018, in the past four years, a rise that critics say exposes the shortage of nurses to assess and treat detainees. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/apr/01/met-police-shortage-nurses-ambulance-call-outs
