Release Number: 13-572-SAN
Judge orders Arizona worker be offered reinstatement, paid back wages and expenses under Family and Medical Leave Act following US Labor investigation
Driver and family lost income, critical health care coverage when company changed hands
PHOENIX -- A U.S. district court judge in Phoenix by a consent judgment has ordered that an Arizona delivery driver be offered reinstatement and receive back pay and reimbursement of medical expenses under the Family and Medical Leave Act.
The U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division found that DS Waters of America Inc. discriminated against the driver when it failed to reinstate him at the end of an approved FMLA-covered leave period. The Atlanta, Ga.-based employer, doing business as Sparkletts, acquired Mesa-based O Premium Waters shortly after the employee began the leave. The department's investigation determined that Sparkletts, as the successor company, had a legal obligation to allow this employee to complete his leave and then restore him to an equivalent position as required by the act.
Since 1993, the FMLA has helped covered workers in this country balance work and family responsibilities by providing job protected leave to care for their own serious health condition or that of a family member. The law allows workers to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave annually, including to bond with a newborn, newly adopted or newly placed child or care for a seriously ill child, spouse or parent, without fear of losing their jobs.
"Twenty years ago, the FMLA codified a simple and fundamental principle in this country: Workers should not have to choose between the job they need and the family members they love and who need their care," said acting Secretary of Labor Seth D. Harris. "Employers must abide by this principle in both their policies and practices."
"This case is a real victory for workers and families seeking justice against unlawful employment practices," added Mary Beth Maxwell, acting deputy administrator of the Wage and Hour Division. "An employee was suddenly left without a job, paycheck or medical benefits when the company changed hands. He and his family suffered emotional and financial stress at a time when they could least afford it."
The department's investigation determined that, at the time of the acquisition, Sparkletts hired approximately 87 percent of O Premium Waters' drivers at the Mesa location but excluded the driver on approved medical leave. Sparkletts' refusal to rehire the employee and continue the employment benefits he had as an employee of O Premium Waters, including medical, dental and vision insurance for him and his family, violated the law.
To resolve the violations, the company has been required to make an offer of employment with full seniority credit and reimburse the worker $31,464 in out-of-pocket medical expenses, in addition to paying him $26,871 in back wages.
This case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona, and the department was represented by its regional Office of the Solicitor in San Francisco. For more information on federal wage laws, call the Wage and Hour Division's toll-free helpline at 866-4US-WAGE (487-9243) or its Phoenix office at 602-514-7100.

The United Micronations Multi-Oceanic Archipelago (UMMOA) (Italian: Arcipelago Multi-Oceanico delle Micronazioni Unite or AMOMU) is a territorial nation and state, and community of nations and states enjoying a degree of international recognition not comparable to a UN member state, but not insignificant. The 29 insular possessions, one continental territory, and one diaxenospitia have no indigenous population, and an inhabitable area of 432,000 km² (166,796 mi²).
Since 2008, the islands have been claimed by several micronations.
On 6 May 2008, the UMMOA legally invaded the US namespace, and annexed the original 11 insular possessions formerly known as the United States Minor Outlying Islands. Today the UMMOA makes additional territorial and non-territorial claims:
On 14 September 2011, the UMMOA was first recognised as a state, and became a Member of the Organization of Emerging African States (OEAS) through the recognition of the Geyser Reef claim. On 5 May 2012, the Organization of Emerging African States (OEAS) recognised an additional 10 allodial title UMMOA claims beyond the Geyser Reef claim.

What the bleep do they know?
Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for The Fleeting Expletives!
The Supreme Court decided today that it will return to that well-worn questions of vulgarity–specifically, what's a dirty word, why and when can people say them on TV?–this fall.
The FCC thinks it should be able to fine broadcasters who relay f'-bombs, even unplanned, inadvertent, live and fleeting ones like those uttered at the Golden Globes; and the agency believes it should particularly have that authority when children might be awake and watching.
Never mind the fact that time-shifting devices like DVRs and VCRs have changed the way everyone, including children, watches television.
Insert your own paragraph here recapping George Carlin's
famous "seven dirty words" case of 1978, and how the FCC won its bid to determine what could and couldn't be said on the public airwaves, but declined to do much in terms of enforcement.
The several-second delay button was supposed to resolve the problem. But, as Cher, Nicole Ritchie and Bono found out, sometimes it doesn't.
The only ones excited about the upcoming court case are Parents Television Council, the self-appointed national nannies who orchestrated the flood of complaints to the FCC.

Cotto Winebar & Pizzeria a high-tech take on traditional Italian
Wine and pizza. Two of life's great small pleasures. In Stamford, there is no shortage of places to have wine or pizza, but not so many that have both.
Cotto Winebar & Pizzeria, a newcomer to the Columbus Park restaurant enclave, has it all, including a varied menu of Italian-style tapas, pastas and classic Italian main courses.
Situated in the center of the downtown dining district, it might be easy to miss Cotto as the narrow, rather ordinary storefront belies the depth of both space and design right inside the door.
It's a sleek, high-tech take on old Italian restaurants. The family pictures line one ancient brick wall, just like the old days. But opposite that wall is a sleek, curved wall and ceiling housing the extra-long shiny metal topped bar.
Dining tables go from front to back, with more intimate seating in the rear nearer the brick pizza oven.
Service here is also a blend of traditional and contemporary. The diner feels like a guest in Nana's home, but with the quick lift of contemporary time rush, which is especially welcomed at lunch when time is of the essence.
Wine is, both in the name and in practice, a star here. The list is broad, deep and nicely priced with many interesting options by the glass.
While pizza is touted in both the restaurant's name and a focus on the brick oven, the pies actually seem to play a supporting role in the menu. Slightly charred on the edges, but a bit pale in the center, the crust is fine but not memorable.
And in a pizza town like Stamford, there are plenty of memorable crusts. Toppings here make a big difference, though. The cheese and sausages are first rate, and the combinations, such as potato and rosemary or mascarpone with smoked salmon and capers, are original.
Best-sellers, however, are likely to be the classics, such as the Margarita with fresh basil.
Downtown Stamford draws a sizeable lunch crowd, and Cotto's extensive menu of small plates make perfect size lunches.
Start with a cool, cross-cultural bruschetta given a Norwegian flair with smoked salmon, mascarpone and fried capers.
Or splurge on a small plate of paper-thin beef Carpaccio with the classic shaved Parmigiano and arugula garnish made special with a drizzle of balsamic and truffle vinaigrette.
Salads also make a lovely lunch starter, especially an arugula, grape tomato, pine nut and avocado salad. Cobb or Caesar salads can easily become a main course with the optional addition of chicken, steak, salmon or shrimp.
Hot tapas make great noontime main courses, or even a light supper. Among the most interesting are lamb sliders, which are actually wine-braised lamb slices perched atop strips of crisp fried polenta and sprinkled with lightly dressed greens.
Fried mac and cheese is a playful take on a kid classic, all grown up with marinara sauce. A heap of fried eggplant and zucchini has both a marinara and a horseradish infused hollandaise sauce.
Other choices are fried or grilled calamari, mussels fra diavolo, with crostini or broccoli rabe, and Italian sausage livened with pepperoncini.
Several panini are also on the menu, all made with a thick, dense semolina bread, which, as a bread lover, I liked, but some might want a lighter loaf. Generous fillings include classic prosciutto, fontina and red pepper, or breaded chicken with arugula, tomato and mozzarella.
The panini "burger" features bacon, jam, fried egg, taleggio, fontina, aioli and French fries.
The pasta list includes everything from a lovely light potato gnocchi with pesto, sun-dried tomato and pine nuts to a disappointing bland rigatoni Bolognese.
Other choices include bucatini all'Amatriciana, spaghetti carbonara or pappardelle with wild boar ragu.
Some of the main courses follow a classic Italian suit with chicken or veal Milanese or veal osso bucco.
But there are also American regional options, such as Colorado lamb chops with roasted cauliflower, sweet potato and eggplant, or salmon with apple-gorgonzola risotto and grated fresh horseradish.
Many of the desserts feature a garnish or side of excellent gelato, and we especially recommend moist apple cinnamon bread pudding with vanilla gelato, or warm chocolate lava cake with vanilla gelato.
Ricotta cheesecake with blueberry sauce and a first-rate tiramisu are also worth considering.
Cotto Winebar has an ever-changing menu, making for a pleasing taste surprise with every visit.
51 Bank St., Stamford, 203-914-1400, www.cottowinebar.com
HOURS: Lunch: Monday-Saturday 11:30 a.m.-3 p.m. Dinner: Sunday-Thursday 5-10 p.m., Friday, Saturday 5-11 p.m. Brunch: Sunday 11:30 a.m.-3 p.m.

VINCE NEIL's 'Girls, Girls, Girls' Strip Club: Commercial Posted Online
A 30-second commercial for MÖTLEY CRÜE singer Vince Neil's new strip club, Girls, Girls, Girls, can be seen below.
In a recent interview with Sally Steele of Vegas Rocks! magazine, Neil stated about why he decided to open his own strip club, "I've been going to strip clubs my whole adult life, I think. With the song 'Girls Girls Girls', we got inducted in 2007 into the Stripper Fall Of Fame. So it was just something that has been coming for a long time."
He added, "I love new businesses. It's just another cool thing, and I think it's great for Las Vegas. It's something different in a city that has everything. . . I literally live, like, five minutes from [the club]. So I'm gonna be here a lot when I'm in town and come here and hang out. It's a great place to hang."
Neil has set Friday, April 13, as the official grand opening of Girls, Girls, Girls. The club will occupy the former Déjà Vu location opposite the Orleans off Tropicana Avenue a mile from the Las Vegas Strip.
Regarding the kind of entertainment that will be available at Vince Neil's Girls, Girls, Girls, Neil told the Las Vegas Sun, "First, the girls will be edgier. Tattoos won't be banned. They will look like they stepped out of a music video. Hot, provocative and edgy. I know it all comes down to G-strings in the end, but they'll start out with much sexier outfits than you find elsewhere. Second, the music isn't going to be boring. None of that house, generic strip club music. This will be full-on rock and roll."

zh-CN:Rsnapshot Rsnapshot is an open source utility that provides incremental back ups.
Install rsnapshot from the Official repositories.
In the install process, the config file is created. It is recommended you make a back up of this file in case you need to reconfigure the file again.
# cp /etc/rsnapshot.conf /etc/rsnapshot.conf.default
/etc/rsnapshot.conf file is well commented and much of it should be fairly self-explanatory. For a full reference of all the various options, please consult the rsnapshot man page.
Root Directory
Choose the directory where you want to store the file system back ups, in this case I will store the back ups in
# All snapshots will be stored under this root directory. # snapshot_root /mnt/backups/
External program dependencies
Uncomment the lines refering to the unix commands
ssh (if you want to do remote back ups) and
rsnapshot-diff, etc. This section of the file should look like this:
# LINUX USERS: Be sure to uncomment "cmd_cp". This gives you extra features. # EVERYONE ELSE: Leave "cmd_cp" commented out for compatibility. # # See the README file or the man page for more details. # cmd_cp /usr/bin/cp # uncomment this to use the rm program instead of the built-in perl routine. # cmd_rm /usr/bin/rm # rsync must be enabled for anything to work. This is the only command that # must be enabled. # cmd_rsync /usr/bin/rsync # Uncomment this to enable remote ssh backups over rsync. # cmd_ssh /usr/bin/ssh # Comment this out to disable syslog support. # cmd_logger /usr/bin/logger # Uncomment this to specify the path to "du" for disk usage checks. # If you have an older version of "du", you may also want to check the # "du_args" parameter below. # cmd_du /usr/bin/du # Uncomment this to specify the path to rsnapshot-diff. # cmd_rsnapshot_diff /usr/bin/rsnapshot-diff # Specify the path to a script (and any optional arguments) to run right # before rsnapshot syncs files # #cmd_preexec /path/to/preexec/script # Specify the path to a script (and any optional arguments) to run right # after rsnapshot syncs files # #cmd_postexec /path/to/postexec/script
Backup Intervals
rsnapshot has no idea how often you want to take snapshots. In order to specify how much data to save, you need to tell rsnapshot which intervals to retain, and how many of each.
An interval, wich is specified with the keyword
retain, in the context of the rsnapshot config file, is a unit of time measurement. These can actually be named anything (as long as it's alphanumeric, and not a reserved word), but by convention we will call ours hourly and daily. In this example, we want to take a snapshot every four hours, or six times a day (these are the hourly intervals). We also want to keep a second set, which are taken once a day, and stored for a week (or seven days). This happens to be the default, so as you can see the config file reads:
retain hourly 6 retain daily 7
Back up
This is the section where you tell rsnapshot what files you actually want to back up. You put a
backup parameter first, followed by the full path to the directory or network path you're backing up. The third column is the relative path you want to back up to inside the snapshot root.
############################### ### BACKUP POINTS / SCRIPTS ### ############################### # LOCALHOST backup /home/ localhost/
In this example, backup tells us it's a backup point.
/home/ is the full path to the directory we want to take snapshots of, and
localhost/ is a directory inside the
snapshot_root we're going to put them in. Using the word localhost as the destination directory is just a convention. You might also choose to use the server's fully qualified domain name instead of localhost. If you are taking snapshots of several machines on one dedicated backup server, it's a good idea to use their various hostnames as directories to keep track of which files came from which server.
Remote Systems
In addition to full paths on the local filesystem, you can also backup remote systems using rsync over ssh. If you have ssh installed and enabled - via the
cmd_ssh parameter - you can specify a path like:
############################### ### BACKUP POINTS / SCRIPTS ### ############################### # example.com backup email@example.com:/etc/ example.com/
This behaves fundamentally the same way, but you must take a few extra things into account:
- The ssh daemon must be running on example.com
- You must have access to the account you specify the remote machine, in this case the root user on example.com.
- You must have key-based logins enabled for the root user at example.com, without passphrases. If you wanted to perform backups as another user, you could specify the other user instead of root for the source (i.e. firstname.lastname@example.com). Please note that allowing remote logins with no passphrase is a security risk that may or may not be acceptable in your situation. Make sure you guard access to the backup server very carefully! For more information on how to set this up, please consult the ssh man page, or a tutorial on using ssh public and private keys. You will find that the key based logins are better in many ways, not just for rsnapshot but for convenience and security in general. One thing you can do to mitigate the potential damage from a backup server breach is to create alternate users on the client machines with uid and gid set to 0, but with a more restrictive shell such as scponly.
- This backup occurs over the network, so it may be slower. Since this uses rsync, this is most noticeable during the first backup. Depending on how much your data changes, subsequent backups should go much, much faster since rsync only sends the differences between files.
Extra Scripts
There is an extra
backup_script line. With this parameter, the second column is the full path to an executable backup script, and the third column is the local path you want to store it in (just like with the
backup parameter). For example:
backup_script /usr/local/bin/backup_pgsql.sh localhost/postgres/
In this example, rsnapshot will run the script
/usr/local/bin/backup_pgsql.sh in a temp directory, then sync the results into the
localhost/postgres/ directory under the snapshot root.
Your backup script simply needs to dump out the contents of whatever it does into its current working directory. It can create as many files and/or directories as necessary, but it should not put its files in any pre-determined path. The reason for this is that rsnapshot creates a temp directory, changes to that directory, runs the backup script, and then syncs the contents of the temp directory to the local path you specified in the third column. A typical backup script would be one that archives the contents of a database. It might look like this:
#!/bin/sh /usr/bin/mysqldump -uroot mydatabase > mydatabase.sql /bin/chmod 644 mydatabase.sql
Testing the configuration
When you have made all your changes, you should verify that the config file is syntactically valid, and that all the supporting programs are where you think they are. To do this, run rsnapshot with the configtest argument:
# rsnapshot configtest
If all is well, it should say Syntax OK. If there's a problem, it should tell you exactly what it is. Make sure your config file is using tabs and not spaces, etc.
The final step to test your configuration is to run rsnapshot in test mode. This will print out a verbose list of the things it will do, without actually doing them. To do a test run, run this command:
# rsnapshot -t hourly
This tells rsnapshot to simulate an "hourly" backup. It should print out the commands it will perform when it runs for real.
Now that you have your config file set up, it's time to set up rsnapshot to be run automatically.
First create a service file:
[Unit] Description=rsnapshot (%I) backup [Service] Type=oneshot Nice=19 IOSchedulingClass=3 ExecStart=/usr/bin/rsnapshot %I
Then create a timer unit for it:
[Unit] Description=rsnapshot daily backup [Timer] # 14:30 is the clock time when to start it OnCalendar=14:30 Persistent=true email@example.com [Install] WantedBy=timers.target
Then finally enable and run it:
# systemctl enable rsnapshot-daily.timer # systemctl start rsnapshot-daily.timer
To manually run the service, you can simply execute:
# systemctl start rsnapshot@hourly # or rsnapshot@daily, rsnapshot@weekly, ...
How it works
We have a snapshot root under which all backups are stored. In this example, this is the directory
/mnt/backups/. Within this directory, other directories are created for the various intervals that have been defined. In the beginning it will be empty, but once rsnapshot has been running for a week, it should look something like this:
[root@localhost]# ls -l /mnt/backups/ drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Dec 28 00:00 daily.0 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Dec 27 00:00 daily.1 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Dec 26 00:00 daily.2 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Dec 25 00:00 daily.3 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Dec 24 00:00 daily.4 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Dec 23 00:00 daily.5 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Dec 22 00:00 daily.6 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Dec 29 00:00 hourly.0 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Dec 28 20:00 hourly.1 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Dec 28 16:00 hourly.2 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Dec 28 12:00 hourly.3 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Dec 28 08:00 hourly.4 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Dec 28 04:00 hourly.5
Inside each of these directories is a full backup of that point in time. The destination directory paths you specified under the
backup and
backup_script parameters get stuck directly under these directories. In the example:
backup /etc/ localhost/
/etc/ directory will initially get backed up into
Each subsequent time rsnapshot is run with the hourly command, it will rotate the hourly.X directories, and then copy the contents of the hourly.0 directory (using hard links) into hourly.1.
When rsnapshot daily is run, it will rotate all the daily.X directories, then copy the contents of hourly.5 into daily.0.
hourly.0 will always contain the most recent snapshot, and daily.6 will always contain a snapshot from a week ago. Unless the files change between snapshots, the full backups are really just multiple hard links to the same files. Thus, if your
/etc/passwd file doesn't change in a week,
hourly.0/localhost/etc/passwd and
daily.6/localhost/etc/passwd will literally be the same exact file. This is how rsnapshot can be so efficient on space. If the file changes at any point, the next backup will unlink the hard link in hourly.0, and replace it with a brand new file. This will now take double the disk space it did before, but it is still considerably less than it would be to have full unique copies of this file 13 times over.
Remember that if you are using different intervals than the ones in this example, the first interval listed is the one that gets updates directly from the main filesystem. All subsequently listed intervals pull from the previous intervals. For example, if you had weekly, monthly, and yearly intervals defined (in that order), the weekly ones would get updated directly from the filesystem, the monthly ones would get updated from weekly, and the yearly ones would get updated from monthly.

Don't Fling the Beet! (Beet Burgers)
Sad beet is sad. Also kind of creepy.
One Trick Pony recreates the same photo taken in October.
PPK Beet Burger! I know, I know. I have blogged about these so many times, but they are so tasty they deserve all the attention! Besides, this time I took so many shortcuts that they came together in four or minutes (plus cooking time) which makes them worthy of another mention. Right? Right! There was some cooked brown rice in the fridge, along with the little precooked beet, and what was left of a can of lentils that I had used to make an individual cottage pie a few days ago. All I had to do was mix it all together, add the seasonings and cook'em! I was a bit worried that the cooked beet was going to make the patty a bit too soft, but it was still perfect. One small cooked beet was enough to make one burger.
If you're wondering about the cheese, it's a Galaxy Nutritional Foods Rice Vegan slice. The bun is Megan's Newfoundland White Bread, a recipe that never lets me down (blogged here). The pickles are there for show because I do not like pickles. They taste good, but the crunchiness just feels weird in a burger. Maybe I'm the one who's weird?
Today I will leave you with one of our backyard residents, though it's not a duck this time. Say hello to Mr. Bluebird McFloofy! Happy weekend!

I can't think of a better use for beets! Looks delish. And such a pretty bird. :)ReplyDelete
Also can't believe I haven't seen the new photo yet--I usually read through the reader and it doesn't come up there. Gorgeous!Replies
Thanks, Ricki! I can't believe I still haven't freaked out and taken it down! :DDelete
Isn't he a pretty little bird? So fluffy!
ALL the beets that come to our house always end up at the back of the fridge — uncooked and unloved. So sad. I really want a beet burger but I have to use a beet to get one. Maybe I will. Maybe I will. Yes, I think I will.ReplyDeleteReplies
Poor beets! I really hope you can bring yourself to make the beet burgers and that you will love them as much as I do! Even if you only love them half as much as I do - that's still a lot of lovin'! :)Delete
I still need to make these. I'm kind of embarrassed, but would you believe that I didn't know until just now that you can buy lentils in a can?!?! Yeah...ReplyDelete
Wait. You don't like pickles?!?!Replies
Fresh lentils are the best, but I can't say no to a quick and easy can of lentils. Nope, I do not like pickles. They taste good, but I don't like the crunchiness. Weeeird.Delete
I don't buy beets anymore because they always end up sad and wrinkled. I really should make that burger recipe to change it.ReplyDeleteReplies
I've been there with the wrinkly old beets! If we could buy one at a time it would be better, but it's hard to go through a whole bunch before they get a bit too old.Delete

MOUNT ROYAL, Pa., March 24 (UPI) -- Police rescued a 9-year-old autistic boy who fell into a creek in Pennsylvania's Gloucester County, officials said.
The boy, whose name was not reported, was reported missing from his home at about 3:45 p.m. Saturday, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported. Police K-9 units picked up his scent about 90 minutes later and tracked him to the creek.
East Greenwich Police Chief Barry Jenkins said the boy was found in water up to his neck about 400 yards offshore.
"They saw him sinking in the mud and heard him screaming," Jenkins said, adding that the tide was quickly rising.
"They got under his armpits and pulled him from the muck," Jenkins said.
East Greenwich Officer Bill Crothers became stuck in the mud during the rescue operation. Another officer was able to pull him out and get him to safety.
The boy was reunited with his father and taken to a hospital for an evaluation.

Jean Peters Baker is Jackson County prosecutor
A northwest Missouri circuit court clerk says Jackson County prosecutor Jean Peters Baker has been picked to investigate a Maryville teen rape case that has gained national attention for the way it was handled by the local prosecutor.
Daisy Coleman says she was 14 in January 2012 when a 17-year-old boy plied her with alcohol and had sex with her while a second 17-year-old recorded the incident on his cellphone.
Felony charges against both boys were dropped months later after Nodaway County prosecutor Robert Rice says Daisy and her family stopped cooperating with the investigation. Last week, Rice asked for a special prosecutor to revisit the case.
Melinda Coleman, Daisy's mother, says the family never stopped cooperating but looks forward to answering questions in a new review.
Baker, who has a background investigating sexual assaults, said she and her special victims unit will give the case a second look.
"I can also assure you that politics, connections or any other reason you can think of, will not play a role in our review of this case," she said. "It will be the evidence, as it is in every other case that we review."
She said the new review of the case has already begun and will intensify as she gets more of the case file. She said she does not know how long the review will take.

The publication Aid for Trade at a Glance: Connecting to Value Chains was launched at the 4th Global Review of Aid for Trade at WTO on 8-10 July 2013.
Read the remarks by OECD Secretary General Angel Gurría to the Global Review.
Publication date:
ISBN: 9789264201026 (print)
This joint OECD-WTO publication puts a spotlight on aid for trade to assess what is happening, what is not, and where improvements are needed. The analysis is focused on trends in aid-for-trade policies, programmes and practices.
It shows that the Aid-for-Trade Initiative is delivering tangible results in improving trade performance and bettering people's lives, notably those of women, in developing countries. The report highlights that aid for trade plays an important role in enabling firms in developing countries to connect with or move up value chains. In fact, the emergence of value chains strengthens the rationale for aid for trade.
Stakeholders remain actively engaged in the Aid-for-Trade Initiative. The 2013 monitoring exercise was based on selfassessments from 80 developing countries, 28 bilateral donors, 15 multilateral donors, and 9 providers of South-South co-operation. Views were also received from 524 supplier firms in developing countries and 173 lead firms, mostly in OECD countries.
Consult the Self Assessments and Factsheets related to the 4th Global Review of Aid for Trade.
Listen to a short interview with aid-for-trade expert, Frans Lammersen.
Table of Contents
Chapter 1. Is aid for trade adapting to new realities?
This chapter discusses how the evolving trade and development context is shaping aid for trade. It illustrates how partner countries, donors and providers of South-South trade-related co-operation are using aid for trade to assist developing countries to enter (and establish their own) value chains.
Chapter 2. Aid-for-trade flows and financing
This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of aid-for-trade flows, ODA commitments and disbursements, trade-related Other Official Flows (OOF ) and South-South trade-related co-operation. It examines aid-for-trade flows using data from the OECD Creditor Reporting System (CRS ), complemented by findings from the OECD / WTO monitoring survey. It examines recipients and providers of assistance, the financial terms of assistance, and the outlook for aid for trade.
Chapter 3. Value chains and the development path
This chapter addresses how value chains offer a path to economic development. Based on the findings from the 2013 OECD / WTO survey, it assesses the resonance that value chains have in the aid-for-trade priorities and strategies of partner countries, bilateral and multilateral donors, and providers of South-South trade-related co-operation. The analysis in this chapter of the agri-food, ICT, textiles and apparel, tourism, and transport and logistics value chains highlights that developing country suppliers are integral to these value chains – and that developing countries use their participation to achieve growth, employment and poverty reduction objectives. (Read the Aid for Trade Value Chains Sector Studies)
Chapter 4. Boosting value chains via regional aid for trade
This chapter shows that regional aid for trade has a critical role to play in boosting the participation of particularly low income and least developed countries in regional production networks, and in enabling them to connect and move-up value chains. It highlights that one of the main motivations of the trend towards regional integration is the need to reduce barriers in regional production networks.
Chapter 5. Evaluating the effectiveness of aid for trade
This chapter explores the effectiveness of aid for trade in promoting trade – both exports and imports – and conditions which tend to make it most effective. The review provides abundant evidence to suggest that aid for trade is indeed broadly correlated with increases in trade. Aid for trade works best when it is focused on reducing the costs of trading through improvements in infrastructure, trade facilitation, trade-related public institutions.
Chapter 6. The way forward
This chapter summarises the main developments in aid for trade since the 2011 Global Review. Based on the findings of the OECD /WTO monitoring survey, the analysis of aid-for-trade flows, and conclusions in the broader trade and development literature, it appears that the proliferation and deepening of value chains and the concomitant widening of trade opportunities for developing countries do not require major shifts in the focus of aid-for-trade efforts. Nevertheless, there is room for improvement, such as further engaging providers of South-South trade-related co-operation and the private sector, expanding the focus from ODA to development finance, improving the conditions for regional projects, and better managing aid for trade and development results.

As the country awaits two important Supreme Court decisions involving state laws on same-sex marriage, a small but consistent body of research suggests that laws that ban gay marriage — or approve it — can affect the mental health of gay, lesbian and bisexual Americans. When several states passed laws to prohibit same-sex marriage, for example, the mental health of gay residents seemed to suffer, while stress-related disorders dropped in at least one state after gay marriage was legalized.
Here's the research trail:
Beginning around 2004, several states banned gay marriage. Just before that series of bans, the National Institutes of Health happened to conduct a massive survey of 43,093 Americans. The questions elicited detailed information about respondents' mental health. (To validate what people reported about themselves, psychiatrists also interviewed samples of the people in the survey, and their medical diagnoses closely matched the findings of the survey.)
Soon after the wave of state bans on gay marriage, in 2004 and 2005, the NIMH conducted a second round of interviews, managing to reach 34,653 of the original respondents. (That's a high rate compared with most polls and surveys.)
Mark Hatzenbuehler, a psychologist at Columbia University who studies the health effects of social policies, analyzed the data gathered before and after the bans to determine how the mental health of people who identified themselves as gay, lesbian or bisexual had changed in those states.
Hatzenbuehler and his colleagues Katie McLaughlin, Katherine Keyes and Deborah Hasin published their analysis in 2010 in the American Journal of Public Health.
"Lesbian, gay and bisexual individuals who lived in the states that banned same-sex marriage experienced a significant increase in psychiatric disorders," Hatzenbuehler says.
"There was a 37 percent increase in mood disorders," he says, "a 42 percent increase in alcohol-use disorders, and — I think really strikingly — a 248 percent increase in generalized anxiety disorders."
To put those numbers in perspective, although Hatzenbuehler did find more than a doubling in the rate of anxiety disorders in states that eventually banned gay marriage, in absolute numbers he found that anxiety disorders went from being reported among 2.7 percent to 9.4 percent of gay, lesbian and bisexual people.
The million-dollar question is whether the laws, and the debates around them, were responsible for the change in mental health. To help answer that question, Hatzenbuehler and his colleagues looked at comparable groups and experiences.
"We showed the psychiatric disorders did not increase in lesbian, gay and bisexual populations in states that didn't debate and vote on same-sex marriages," Hatzenbuehler says. "There were also no increases — or much smaller increases — among heterosexuals living in the states that passed same-sex marriage bans."
Hatzenbuehler has also found, in a study conducted in Massachusetts, that gay men experienced fewer stress-related disorders after that state permitted gay marriage.
In a study tracking the health of 1,211 gay men in Massachusetts, Hatzenbuehler found that the men visited doctors less often and had lower health treatment costs after Massachusetts legalized same-sex marriage. When the researchers examined the diagnostic codes doctors were giving the men, they saw a decrease in disorders that have been linked to stress, such as hypertension, depression and adjustment disorders.
Hatzenbuehler says he thinks stress associated with gay-marriage debates was the "X factor." He says the quantitative data is backed by what gays, lesbians and bisexuals told the surveyors. "They reported multiple stressors during that period," Hatzenbuehler says. "They reported seeing negative media portrayals, anti-gay graffiti. They talked about experiencing a loss of safety and really feeling like these amendments and these policies were really treating them as second-class citizens."
Today, about three-dozen states ban gay marriage and about a dozen have passed laws that approve it. Some states have laws that permit civil unions but ban gay marriage.
It's unclear how or whether the upcoming Supreme Court decisions involving the constitutionality of same-sex marriage will affect the mental and physical health of gays and lesbians nationally.
It's likely that many gay, lesbian and bisexual people would see an upholding of same-sex marriage bans as an example of prejudice. But it's also possible the debate around the Supreme Court decisions could have different effects on gays than a local debate involving friends and neighbors.
Hatzenbuehler says his larger point is really that policymakers, judicial leaders and ordinary citizens need to remember that social policies are also health policies.
It's MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Steve Inskeep.
And I'm David Greene. In a few weeks, the Supreme Court is expected to weigh in on the constitutionality of same-sex marriage. We have heard a lot about the debate. This morning, something different. We're taking a look at whether gay marriage laws have health consequences. NPR's Shankar Vedantam, who regularly joins us to talk about interesting social science research, is in the studio with us. Shankar, welcome back.
SHANKAR VEDANTAM, BYLINE: Hi, David.
GREENE: OK, Shankar. When we talk about bans on same-sex marriage, some talk about it as a matter of prejudice, some talk about it as a matter of tradition in their minds. You're focusing on something different here.
VEDANTAM: That's right, David.
I found some really interesting research that looks at what the mental health consequences are of same-sex marriage bans in the many states that have passed these bans.
GREENE: And we have something like three dozen states with bans in place, right?
VEDANTAM: That's exactly right. And many of these bans were actually enacted around 2004. And it turns out the timing of those bans have given us a natural experiment. Right before 2004, the National Institutes of Health conducted this massive of 30,000 Americans tracking mental health disorders across the country. And then they went after 2004 and spoke to the very same people over again.
I interviewed Mark Hatzenbuehler. He's a researcher at Columbia University. He tracked mental disorders among gays and lesbians before and after states passed these bans on same-sex marriage. And he told me that gay people in states that ban same-sex marriage suffered a significant increase in psychiatric disorders.
GREENE: Two-hundred-forty-eight percent increase in anxiety disorders after bans? That sounds enormous.
VEDANTAM: To put it in perspective, David, he's saying the number of gays and lesbians in these states who had generalized anxiety disorders more than doubled. I mean, so the specific numbers are they went from 2.7 percent to 9.4 percent.
GREENE: After bans took effect.
VEDANTAM: Exactly.
GREENE: But we should hang on a second. I mean, do we know that these changes were directly related to these laws? Or there could've been a lot of other things going on.
VEDANTAM: Yeah, good question. I asked Hatzenbuehler that and he told me that he tracked the mental health of gays and lesbians who lived in states that didn't pass these bans and he also tracked the mental health of heterosexuals in stated that did pass the bans. And he found these other groups did not see similar increases in mental health problems.
The increase in psychiatric disorders was experienced only by gays and lesbians and only in states that passed the bans.
GREENE: This is what scientists call controlling. I mean...
VEDANTAM: Exactly.
GREENE: ...nailing it down to one cause of something.
VEDANTAM: Precisely.
GREENE: OK. On the flip side, Shankar, do we have evidence from states that have approved same-sex marriage?
VEDANTAM: Yes. So Hatzanbuehler conducted one study looking at 1,200 gay men in Massachusetts at a community health center. And he found that after Massachusetts passed a law approving gay marriage, the number of visits to doctors and costs for health care went down. And he found that there was a reduction in disorders that were linked to stress. So disorders like hypertension or depression or adjustment disorders.
GREENE: So it sounds like we're talking about stress, the common denominator. In states that approve same-sex marriage, there's less stress. In states that have banned same-sex marriage, there's more stress among gays and lesbians.
VEDANTAM: Yes. And I think that's exactly what Hatzenbuehler says, and it's also what gays and lesbians in many states that pass these bans are reporting.

GREENSBORO, N.C. (1/5/11) -- Chris Rusiewicz, former associate head coach at NCAA Division III Ursinus College, was introduced as Guilford College's new head football coach Wednesday, Jan. 5. The Quakers' 22nd head football coach in 104 recorded seasons, he succeeds Kevin Kiesel, who compiled a 24-36 overall record in six campaigns.
Rusiewicz, 33, served the past four seasons as associate head coach at Ursinus, a highly selective liberal arts college with 1,750 students in Collegeville, Pa. He received the 2010 American Football Coaches Association's (AFCA) Division III Assistant Coach of the Year Award in November. The annual prize honors coaches who excel in community service, commitment to the student-athlete, on-field coaching success and AFCA professional organization involvement.
"Chris quickly distinguished himself as a guy who is very enthusiastic and very energetic," said Guilford Athletic Director Tom Palombo, who introduced Rusiewicz. "He wanted to take this on as a challenge and in the short time he's been here, he can see the potential of what Guilford College football can be."
"I've had the opportunity to watch Guilford football play and I think the pieces are here," Rusiewicz said. "It's not a matter of rebuilding … it's about refocusing."
Rusiewicz joined Peter Gallagher's Ursinus staff in 2001 as a secondary coach, became the Bears' defensive coordinator in 2003 and was named special teams coach in 2008. The team ranked 23rd or higher among NCAA Division III total defense leaders in three of the past four years. The Bears boasted the nation's 12th-rated rushing defense in 2010.
He guided 11 Ursinus defenders or specialists to 14 First Team All-Centennial Conference honors in 10 seasons, including defensive back Mike Dale, a 2001 third-team All-American. Four Bears defenders received D3football.com All-South Region recognition, including two-time selection Chris Rountree, the 2009 Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III Southwest Rookie of the Year.
Ursinus has had four winning seasons and four top-three conference finishes in the past five years. Last fall, the Bears posted an 8-2 overall record and went 7-2 in the Centennial, their best league mark since 1996. Ursinus shared the 2010 Centennial title and made postseason appearances in the 2006 and 2009 ECAC playoffs.
In addition to his coaching accomplishments, Rusiewicz made significant contributions to the greater Ursinus community. He implemented a Christmas program that raises approximately $1,500 for the benefit of three local families. In conjunction with the National Marrow Donor Program and Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia, Rusiewicz coordinated an effort to recruit bone marrow donors. He also participated in service projects with Big Brothers and Habitat for Humanity that contributed to the football team's over 600 volunteer hours in 2009-10. He also developed and implemented a series of off-field programs designed to benefit students' academic progress and leadership abilities.
"A football coach is someone that not only teaches the game, but also is a good mentor and a leader," Rusiewicz said. "I plan on doing that here, not just on the field, but off the field."
After playing at Quakertown (Pa.) High School, Rusiewicz started his college career at Shippensburg (Pa.) University where he lettered as a reserve running back for the NCAA Division II Red Raiders. He graduated with a degree in sport management from DeSales University in Center Valley, Pa., in 2001. Rusiewicz entered the coaching ranks as founder, general manager and offensive coordinator of the semi-professional Eastern Pennsylvania Scorpions from 1997-2004. He spent four years as the Physical Director of the Spring Valley YMCA.
A native of Perkasie, Pa., Rusiewicz and his wife, Tara, have two daughters, Brooke (3) and Natalie (1). The couple is expecting its third child in May.

The six-year MLS veteran has spent the last two seasons in San Jose, making 47 appearances in the process.

For $20,000 a Week, Pam Anderson Could Be Your Landlady
The Virgin Saint and fierce protectress of chastity and virtue, Pamela Anderson, is renting her out home for $20,000 a week. So many things are that amount of money: college tuition, a nice car, my entire salary, half an Olsen sister's purse! Perhaps rent is so insanely high because the home is decorated by the Lady of the Manor herself. Yikes. Or maybe it is due to the crazy rumors flying that Pammy is experiencing some money woes of her own and is fixing to make a buck or two off the home. Whatever the reason, this place ain't cheap.
The three bedroom, 2.5 bath, one outdoor-wigwam (well, Pam is Canadian) home comes with all the expected amenities that make up a Malibu manse: fireplaces, beach views, saunas and steam showers, and a saltwater swimming pool with swim-up bar outside. There is also a private staircase accessible only through the master bedroom that leads to the roof. And if you pull Pamela's left boob a swinging bookcase slides open to reveal the meeting place of the Opus Dei.

Welcome to Ulduar folks. If you made it past the lag, the vehicles, and the guard-dragon, and you didn't get sidetracked by Ignis' Hot Pockets, chances are you'll soon find yourself standing in front of my favorite shiny robot in the game, the XT-002 Deconstructor. She just wants to give everyone a big hug . . . a spine-cracking hug, that is. She reminds me of eeeevil pet collector Elmyra from the Animaniacs. In all seriousness, Blizzard outdid themselves here. The boss's animations and voice are oh-so-entertaining, and this fight provides a juicy-yet-manageable challenge for healers. Conquest downed XT on 4/21 using this strategy.
Essential Abilities
To effectively heal this boss, all healers need to make sure that their unit frames show the following three abilities. If you are a Grid or Pitbull user, add these to your custom debuffs.
Gravity Bomb
This ability places a debuff on a player. They need to move away from others to avoid causing AoE damage. This debuff does not tick immediately but rather does a significant chunk of damage at the delay of a few seconds. A player with Gravity Bomb will need a large heal once the ability triggers.
Light Bomb
This ability places a debuff on a player, and as with Gravity Bomb, the player must move away from others to avoid causing AoE Damage. This debuff is a strong, fast-ticking dot, and it lasts 9 seconds, dealing 3500 damage each tick. A player with Light Bomb needs immediate and steady attention.
Tympanic Tantrum
Of the three abilities, this one is the most dangerous. Tympanic Tantrum deals damage equal to 10% of each player's maximum health every 1 sec for 12 sec. Nearby enemies are also dazed for the duration. Every player in the raid needs to receive a medium amount of healing in order to survive this ability. AoE and group heals (Divine Hymn, Circle of Healing, Prayer of Healing, Wild Growth, Tranquility) are good solutions.
Healing Assignments
In order to meet the dps minimum for the boss, you will probably need either 6 or 7 healers. These assignments will assume 6. Consult the following diagram for the optimum positioning of your 6 healers.
As always, the diagram is coded by class color. Our favorite arrangement uses a paladin and a tank healing-specced druid on the MT. On the raid, we have had good luck with using two priests, one shaman, and one raid-healing specced druid. In this diagram, you'll notice that H3 and H4 are standing together, as are H5 and H6. The raid splits into two groups, and ranged dps stacks with raid healers. This grouping makes it easier for the person with Light Bomb or Gravity Bomb to run away. Your MT healers will have to cheat forward a bit of the pile of players in order to be in range of the tank. XT is big–approximately 10 yards across–and your tank will be on the far side.
I've had the pleasure to both MT and raid heal for this fight, so I can share with you my top strategies for both positions. The key to this fight is using your abilities wisely.
MT healing
Two healers are necessary because this bot hits hard! Damage is spiky because the boss hits hard but swings slowly. We found a combination of a Resto Druid and a Holy Paladin to be very successful. The druid can keep some HoTs on the MT even through the Exposed Heart phase, in which there is no damage to the tank. We've lost the tank before when XT has come back with a vengeance, so be prepared with some HoTs or shields. Throughout the fight, the druid will probably be able to make a small contribution to raid healing. During Tympanic Tantrum, both MT healers will raid heal, and during the Heart phase, the paladin can probably dps, with the druid contributing as well if she is able to afford the mana hit.
Raid Healing
I learned the hard way that HoTs won't cut it for Gravity Bomb and Light Bomb. For Gravity Bomb, have raid healers shield or pre-HoT and then time a big nuke heal to land as the bomb explodes. For Light Bomb, the player will need a series of quick heals (Flash of Light, Flash Heal, Lesser Healing Wave) or a combination of HoTs and direct heals. A Rejuv+Swiftmend is not enough. With my raid healing build, I was using HoTs + glyphed Healing Touch to good effect. Light Bomb is the more dangerous of the two bombs because it hits fast and hard.
For Tympanic Tantrum, HoTs and AoE heals are king. I was having great luck with Tranquility, Wild Growth, and Lifebloom during this phase. When you assign raid healers, make sure you distribute your AoE healers evenly on both sides.
Melee and Offtanks
There's no way to get around doing double duty on this fight. At least one offtank will assist a couple of ranged dps with controlling the adds. Specific Raid Healers (perhaps H4 and H5) should be assigned to keeping the adds team alive.
Melee will need some attention, but Judgement of Light, if you have it, goes a long way towards keeping them healthy. We assigned our Resto Shaman to chain heal the melee group when she could.
DPS the heart!
All of the non-tree healers in your raid should switch to dps-ing the heart when it is exposed. Every little bit helps you meet the very high dps demand! I also recommend that any raid-healing druids switch forms and dps the heart. However, the MT healing druid should keep her HoTs on the tank, because XT returns suddenly and with a vengeance. If she can sneak a Moonfire in there too, by all means.
Mana Control
This fight has a few moments that will allow for OOFSR regen. It's fairly tough on mana, and you will probably use a potion and your mana-restoration abilities (Innervate, Shadowfiend) if you are only carrying six healers. The fight is short with a 6 min enrage timer, but it's fast and furious, so you can blow your mana if you're not careful. If you find yourself running out, take a break instead of using your mana for offensive spells when the heart is exposed.
A Healer Check?
This boss tests healers in more ways than one. I like to think of it as a healing assignment check. Everyone has to do his or her specific job, and there's no time for sniping. Moreover, you need a good balance of single-target and AoE heals to pull this off with 6 healers. There is both heavy Main Tank damage and extensive raid damage. Expect to use all of your skills.

Although music usually comes from people's voices or people thumping something on another thing or people wisping their fingers across strings, Japanese artist Daito Manabe found a new form for a musical instrument: the human face. Yep, facial songs.
The way he set it up was by linking electric sensors to a person's face (it looks like they're going under an insanity test or something). If the face moves a certain way, well, it'll trigger the specific sound attached. Squint to sing, I guess. It's not exactly Mozart on a piano but it's still music (what isn't music these days).
The idea behind the project is to create music out of the human nervous system — what do we naturally sound like? Can you imagine if a real singer — someone who, um, doesn't exactly make the prettiest faces while they sing (think Kelly Clarkson or John Mayer) — got hooked up to Manabe's system while actually singing too? Would their face music sound as good as their voice music? Would it harmonize? I need to know who's the best face singer. [The Creators Project via Design Taxi]
