A Year of Eating Healthier: One Family's Journey
Meet Lisa Rebucci
Age: 47
Favorite Foods: Lisa has a sweet tooth so cookies, cakes, chocolate and pies are her weakness.
Healthiest Habit: She dropped 15 pounds last year by focusing on portion control and drinking a lot more water. Now the whole family fills up on H20—you won't find soda or juice in their house. Lisa also cooks dinner nearly every night, so no high-calorie take-out or restaurant meals for them.
Needs Improvement: "I love to cook, but I'm probably cooking with way too much fat and butter," Lisa says. "I'd love to go through my recipes and slim them down." She would like to drop another 20 pounds.
Workout Regimen: At least three times a week, Lisa grabs her iPod and goes for a walk. Since she does dog walking and pet sitting for a living, she gets in extra steps with her job. Lisa belongs to a gym, but hasn't made a visit in nearly a year.
Long-Term Goal: "I'd like to learn how to cook healthier and look at recipes in a different way," Lisa says. She hopes the entire family will become healthier together, and aims for herself, Marc and Kyle to lose weight.
Meet Marc Rebucci
Age: 51
Favorite Foods: "I love soup—I'll have soup any time of the year," Marc says. Lobster bisque, French onion, gazpacho and lentil soups top his list. He's also a big meat eater.
Healthiest Habit: Marc stays active by going to the gym and doing lots of yard work.
Needs Improvement: He takes medication for blood pressure, acid reflux and high cholesterol, so he hopes that he'll be able to get off these meds by shedding pounds and adopting a healthier lifestyle. Another challenge is that Marc eats out frequently for his job—as much as four or five times a week just for lunch—so he needs to learn how to make healthy choices at restaurants.
Workout Regimen: Two or three times a week, Marc hits the gym before work in the morning for 45 minutes and mostly lifts weights.
Long-Term Goal: "I want to be more conscious of what I eat and how I eat," Marc says. He hopes to adopt a better workout routine to reach his goal weight and gain energy. "I just want to be able to wake up and feel better."
Meet Kyle Rebucci
Age: 11
Favorite Foods: Quite the carnivore, Kyle loves chicken—and every other meat. But he's pickier when he sees green. Spinach is his least favorite, and "I've never really had Brussels sprouts but they just sound bad so I don't like them," he says.
Healthiest Habit: A big breakfast. Mom makes a hearty kickoff meal every morning, typically with homemade banana smoothies and pancakes, waffles or scrambled eggs.
Needs Improvement: Kyle always eats the school lunch and picks from pizza, tacos, chicken nuggets, hamburgers, hot dogs, Italian subs, chicken patties, french fries and chocolate milk—no veggies. Translation: the meals are big on calories and low on nutrition.
Workout Regimen: As a member of his school's cross-country and lacrosse teams, Kyle has practice at least twice a week.
Long-Term Goal: Like his dad, Kyle is prone to weight gain. Lisa and Marc are hoping he'll drop a few pounds and learn how to be more aware of healthy habits.
Meet Jack Rebucci
Age: 13
Favorite Foods: He enjoys snacking on Cheerios.
Healthiest Habit: Like his bro, he eats a nutritious breakfast. And they both have a wholesome after-school snack, like an apple, string cheese or yogurt.
Needs Improvement: Jack eats the same school lunch as Kyle. "It's bad for us," he admits. "It's kind of unhealthy, but all the kids eat it."
Workout Regimen: He's on the cross-country and lacrosse teams as well, and since he takes running seriously, he'll even sometimes hit the track on days he doesn't have practice.
Long-Term Goal: Jack is naturally thin, so his doctor recommended adding a few pounds to his slim frame. He says, "I'd like to learn more about nutrition since I'm a runner."
Pantry Raid
Make sure you have the right ingredients to cook healthy meals.
—Read labels—many convenience products are high in sodium. Since you shouldn't be consuming more than 2,300mg of this mineral per day, opt for fewer processed foods.
—Forgo high-sodium prepackaged rice mixes (a staple for the Rebuccis), and cook grains like brown rice, quinoa and barley from scratch, then add your own seasonings to control salt.
—Stock up on herbs, spices, fruit and vegetable juices, nuts, dried fruit and vinegars to flavor foods instead of using salt and fat.
—Have ingredients on hand for go-to meals: whole-grain pastas, tomato sauce, beans, reduced-sodium soups and no-salt-added vegetables.
—Don't forget snacks like air-popped popcorn, portion-controlled packs of nuts and dried fruit, peanut and almond butter and baked crackers and chips.

As well as providing opportunities for students with a passion for the spotlight, Performing Arts at Kristin provides an avenue for students who want to master the many aspects of stagecraft. Led by our award-winning teams in Wardrobe, Set Design, Lighting, Sound and Stage Management, our students are taking on new responsibilities backstage and reaping the rewards for their efforts. In recent years our Wardrobe, Lighting and Sound teams have received multiple nominations for Showdown Awards and growing numbers of Kristin students are seeking tertiary pathways in stagecraft.
Kristin's rich history of Performing Arts is evident with one quick visit to the Wardrobe. Hundreds and hundreds of costumes line the racks from the many shows that have appeared on the Kristin stage. This extensive collection grows with every show, and as such our Wardrobe team are active in the design and construction of each production's new garments.
Set Design
With every production come new creative challenges in designing sets that work with the show, can be manoeuvred easily and which create a visual spectacle – all within a show's budget. Opportunities abound for students who wish to get involved with our Set Design team under the stewardship of our Performing Arts Manager.
Lighting and Sound
Kristin is fortunate to have resident lighting and sound specialists who work with all three schools. These specialists train up students into tech teams who work on regular events, such as assemblies. Some of these students go on to become key crew members, eventually operating equipment in key roles in the major productions.
The Kristin Auditorium complex has three areas with operational lighting. Our Main Auditorium is one of the largest working theatre spaces in Auckland, seating over 1000, and features a full professional-standard lighting rig. With over 150 standard fixtures, the lighting team is also proficient with a range of moving heads, follow spots and special effect lighting.
Our Dove Memorial Theatre, which seats just under 200, also has an impressive rig and the technical desk is a training ground for many interested students as they operate the smaller shows and prepare to work in our larger theatre.
The Drama Studio has a simple lighting set up, suitable for the practical needs of the Drama curriculum.
The Main Auditorium is exceptionally well equipped for the sound requirements of all our productions and wider school events. For the major shows, our sound specialist generally runs 24 channels of radio microphones, plus a 20-channel sound rig for the orchestra.
Stage Management
All Kristin's productions, both in the Dove Theatre and in the Main Auditorium, call for enthusiastic, committed crews of students. The students who apply and are accepted gain experience working backstage on set, maintaining wireless microphones, supervising props, assisting wardrobe and helping call the show. We appoint student Stage Managers who, working alongside adult mentors, learn all the complexities that make up efficient Stage Management in the theatre.

2009 was a decidedly good year for Sam Worthington. First, he starred in "Terminator: Salvation" and got better reviews than Christian Bale. Then he starred in the highest-grossing film of all time.
Now Worthington will try and keep up what has been a blazing start to his Hollywood career. He next stars in "Clash of the Titans" in April. And he just signed on to star in "Texas Killing Fields," a murder mystery that will be the first feature film ever directed by Ami Canaan Mann, daughter of big-time director Michael Mann. From Variety:
Sam Worthington will star in murder mystery "Texas Killing Fields," with Michael Mann producing through his Forward Pass shingle along with Michael Jaffe. Bill Block's QED Intl. is financing.
Mann's daughter, Ami Canaan Mann, will direct from Donald F. Ferrarone's script; lensing will start in April in Louisiana. Script focuses on the true story of a pair of police officers who undertook to solve two decades of disappearances and homicides -- totalling as many as 60 victims -- in the industrial wastelands surrounding Gulf Coast refineries.
U.S. & World
I'll be interested to see what kind of director Ami Mann is. The only recent director credits she has are an episode of "Friday Night Lights" and her father's own short-lived series "Robbery Homicide Division." I hope she picked up her father's keen directing eye, because I could watch Michael Mann film grass growing in real time and find it riveting. Combine that with Worthington's star power and this one will be worth keeping an eye on.

Hmmm… chicken hangs when trying to do anything useful. This is almost certainly down to my system configuration. I'm trying to use the free Microsoft command-line compiler but the fact that it can't even compile a simple C++ hello world probably isn't a good sign (it complains about a missing libcpmt.lib). I think the chicken eggs that I need only require a C compiler so I attempted to press on regardless. http.egg compiled and installed, but trying to run chicken-setup htmlprag hangs at the command:
c:\chicken-2.3\csc -feature compiling-extension -s -R syntax-case -O2 -d0 htmlprag.scm
So, what are my options?
1. Move to PLT Scheme
I've heard nothing but good things about PLT Scheme, but one of the attractive things about chicken for me is the efficient compile from scheme to C to binary. It seems that you can do this with PLT, but it isn't the recommended method.
2. Move to Linux
I know that at least the tool-chain is good on Linux 🙂 Additionally, my Windows install seems to be on it's last legs – it is really slow and probably infested with spyware. On the other hand, part of the reason of choosing chicken scheme is to be able to target Windows binaries easily.
3. Buy VC++ 6
I'm not too keen on buying an obsolete compiler, plus I'm a little cheap!
4. Re-build chicken scheme with MINGW / Visual C++ Express
This would fit in with my goals of being able to produce windows binaries while writing scheme. There isn't too much documentation on the web about how to go about it though. I really don't like fighting the tool-chain, but at least if it works it should be a one-off.

I'd like to say that I was off doing too many fabulous things to sit down and blog about, but that wouldn't really be the truth. (Though, I *have* done some pretty incredible things lately, they just weren't really the kinds of things to keep me away from blogging). Part of me justified my silence by saying that I needed some more quiet in my life, time to be present to my world off-line rather than blather about my goings on here in this space. But that would just be a cop out; in fact, I consume WAY more internet per day than I would care to admit. That part is easy.
I think closer to the truth is the fact that I feel like I have lost my voice. I have been trying to revive this space for a while now, but can never seem to find a way into a story. A feeling not too different from what happens to all of us, perhaps with a friend,or a loved one. You know, the one you are scared to call after something awkward happened one day, even when you know you should. In the battle between cowardice and picking up the phone, cowardice wins. As each day passes, you fight this battle "should I call?" but the more time you feed cowardice the stronger it grows. "Nah, its too hard." Before you know it, years have gone by, and shit...it feels just too darn awkward to pick up the phone now. How would I even begin?
How do I begin?
I have asked myself this question SO MANY TIMES. How do I begin? What the hell should I blog about that will be honest and not flippant in the least (after being noticeably absent for years now). I tried to start a gratitude project, but that kind of flopped. I tried to write some stories, but they just seemed out of place. Then I thought maybe I needed something new, a blank slate, a fresh palate. I tried to break up with my blog in a post I never published:
This space...this space? Sigh. I am sure you have noticed (you, being all 5 of you who read my blog) that things have dropped off in the past few years. This blog has been limping along for a while.It is funny to think how much time I have spent agonizing over whether to leave this space or not. There are so many stories and photos stored here that remind me of a very real and raw period of my life, one that no longer exists for me yet has woven the fabric of who I am now. I am not so sure moving on is the answer; perhaps I just needed an entry point back in.
And yes, I'm having a David Byrne moment here, guys. This is not my
beautiful househorrible blog. It feels weird to leave it just hanging in the air; I mean, for a while I think I had a good thing going. But DAMN! One day you just wake up and realize that the thing just doesn't fit anymore and no measure of tweaking or pulling or prodding is going to change that fact. I think its time to move on from this.
I started Lifewaza almost 5 years ago, just as I was about to plunge over the precipice of a new life. Lifewaza, in a way, was the rope that tied me safely back to the firm ground of my home, my family, so that I couldn't fall to fast or too far. I wanted people back home to know what I was doing and how I was feeling and understand that even though I was leaving them that I wasn't really gone...just more complicated to talk to on the phone at 8 in the morning. I wanted them to remain a part of my life.
Sometimes the ropes we tie for ourselves, though, aren't strong enough.
These past five years I have struggled to navigate two completely new homes and cultures, a new language, a serious identity crisis, a long distance relationship that was on (and off and on and off and now on and fabulous), the processing of a previous relationship, heartbreak, soul-crushing, more identity crisis, living illegally in Canada, separation anxiety, a TON of moves, at least four new jobs, and much, much more (did I mention identity crisis?). These past five years have been like a sucker punch roller coaster crash landing, being birthed into a whole new life (where I was both the laboring mother AND the disoriented child) and it was one of the most difficult and certainly the most liberating thing I have ever done. Full stop. And, at times, I felt the need to leave this space and crawl into my own hole of privateness and dispair and could just never find my way back in to my poor, neglected little blog.
So this is me, telling you I am having trouble finding my way back in, as a way back in. How is that for meta?

The rare document is owned by The New York Public Library, which has made an unusual 100-year loan agreement with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
The New York Library acquired its Bill of Rights in 1896 as a donation from a collector and library trustee. It hasn't been displayed for decades for preservation reasons.

The document will be at the National Constitution Center for three years starting in the fall of 2014.

Dolphins 'save' swimmer from shark
A British endurance swimmer has spoken of being protected from a shark by a pod of dolphins as he swam one of the toughest stretches of open water in the world.
Adam Walker is aiming to become the first Briton to complete the Oceans Seven challenge but was alarmed to find he was being accompanied by a shark as he crossed the Cook Strait between the North and South Islands of New Zealand last week.
However, he soon realised he had also been joined on the 16-mile (26km) swim by a pod of dolphins, which appeared to be protecting him.
Mr Walker, who is based in Nottingham, wrote on his Facebook page: "Yesterday I swam the 6th of the 'oceans seven' swims 'Cook Strait' in 8 hours 36 mins.
"But that doesn't tell the whole story rolling waves, big currents but more important than that a dream come true swimming with dolphins over an hour!! I'd like to think they were protecting me and guiding me home!!! This swim will stay with me forever."
After swimming the Cook Strait, English Channel, Strait of Gibraltar, Molokai Channel off the coast of Hawaii, Catalina Channel off California and Japan's Tsugaru Channel, Mr Walker now only has the Irish Channel to go before he has completed his feat, which he was inspired to undertake while watching a film during a flight to Australia.
He is raising money for Whale And Dolphin Conservation.

The man who found an 11-year-old girl after she was fatally shot by a stray bullet in Chicago Friday night is speaking out about the "devastating" violence that left a community reeling.
Shamiya Adams was with friends at a sleepover when the bullet come came through the bedroom window of a home in the 3900 block of West Gladys Avenue in the Garfield Park neighborhood.
Aaron Hill was the adult host at the party, and says his four daughters, aged 11 to 17, were also in the room when the shooting occurred. Hill went into the room when he heard the commotion.
"I ran out of the room crying. When you go in the room and see something like that, it's devastating," Hill said.
- Community Mourns Girl, 11, Killed by Stray Bullet
- Girl, 11, Dies After Being Shot in Head by Stray Bullet
Hill said the girls still haven't been able to talk about the incident, and are staying with relatives.
"It's been hard, it's been hard. They ain't been back in the house since it happened," Hill said.
Area churches and community groups have come together to show support, donating $8,000 in reward money for information leading to an arrest.
"This crime was so vicious and of great magnitude that it needs to be encouraged that whoever knows, because somebody somewhere knows something," the Rev. George Daniels said.
The family is hoping a police camera on the corner of the street will yield surveillance video that captures the shooter on tape.
"It's crazy that I stop them from being outside, put them in the house, and they ain't even safe in the house anymore," neighbor Tamika Collins said.

Question on scale. Lego mini figs usually aren't to scale to there ships and it gets worse the bigger the ship. For example the midi scale falcon I believe would be to small for it to be scaled to micro fig size. It would almost need to be twice as big.
If some one builds a Corellian Corvette, lego's 10198 Tantive IV comes close to microscale.
Is that the size you have in mind for these figs? Because if you build a star destroyer or frigate it gets worse. This thing is huge http://mocpages.com/moc.php/175408 and I don't think it meets the rule requirements. Basically for cap ships are you looking for a bridge to be able to handle 16-20 officers? Or is it ok to just build a small cap ship and have a micro fig fit into it some where?

Our World
Our World
I looked for you and you weren't there
Where did you go?
I looked in places I had seen you before
Not so long ago.
You had been that rock for me
When all I had was despair
Now you had abandoned me
For others you feel needed your care..
It hurt me so
To watch this.
To watch us be set aside
And guide the lives of others
While you leave us behind.
Yes behind I say
Because it doesn't matter
Who it is you help.
For they cling to you for guidance
Needing attention night and day.
Yet when its us that need you most
You've already gone away.
What did we do to deserve this?
Why is this the way it is to be?
You say you love us very much,
But that is not what I see.
I see a soldier who is leading
Leading his troops to fight
Showing a good example
Doing what is right
The husband, the father he has stepped away
For there times now are gone.
This is why you could not stay
So it is I that must carry on.
You left me in charge of this lonely command
How was I to do them right?
Emotions of pride spill where I stand.
Because after all I am a military wife.
I must go on even though I am not sure how?
The others rely on me so,
For now I am their rock
And they have a ways to go.
I am stronger than you think
Even though I too have had a rough time
I get no recognition for this job
The job you left behind.
It is a job I won't take lightly
For it the hardest given to me to date
I only want to make you proud
That is no mistake!
Some have been through this before
So they totally understand.
Others it's their first time
So I will do what I can.
I will assure them
It does get better and that time heals the pain
As we all wait for the phone calls
To help us stay sane.
And so the journey begins
A year seems so far away
I will pass the time the best I know how
And not dwell that you could not stay.
I cannot imagine what you're going through
I know it must be very hard
But now I understand
The journey that is at hand.
So do what you must
Being a soldier is now your life,
I am proud of you Marco
I am proud to be your wife.

Wanna see something really, really stupid?
Ukrainian YouTuber and daredevil Pasha Bumchik uploaded some pretty awesome (idiotic) footage of himself jumping on top of a train and riding it around town.
The video shows Bumchik hopping a fence covered in razor-wire and hiding from a security guard before jumping on the train as it begins to move forward.
He then runs down the length of the train, jumping over each car.
The footage is pretty cool, but the kid is taking a huge risk in the name of a YouTube video.
He also has a very punchable face.

LAGOS, Nigeria - The documentary on a massive strike that paralyzed life in Nigeria features newspaper headlines, television news footage and other information widely known about a government gasoline subsidy that saw billions of dollars stolen by greedy companies and the nation's elite.
It also, according to Nigerian authorities, could spark violence and potentially threaten national security.
The 30-minute film called "Fuelling Poverty" has been online for months, but only recently Nigerian officials have refused its director permission to show it publicly in this oil-rich nation of more than 160 million people. While free speech is enshrined in this democratic nation's constitution, an ever-increasing drumbeat of complaints and critical articles about the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan has seen authorities increasingly target journalists and others.
The film, sponsored by Soros Foundation's Open Society Justice Initiative for West Africa, focuses on the protests around Jonathan's decision to remove subsidies on gasoline in January 2012. Life in Nigeria ground to a halt before unions backed down. Later, a report by lawmakers demanded businesses and government agencies to return some $6.7 billion over the subsidy program.
Ishaya Bako, who directed the film that features civil rights activists and Nobel Prize laureate Wole Soyinka, later applied for the right to show the film publicly. In a letter dated April 8, Nigeria's National Film and Video Censors Board told Bako that the documentary was "prohibited for exhibition in Nigeria."
"I am further to inform you that this decision is due to the fact that the contents of the film are highly provocative and likely to incite or encourage public disorder and undermine national security," the letter signed by board lawyer Effiong Inwang reads. "Please you are strongly advised not to distribute or exhibit the documentary film. All relevant national security agencies are on the alert."
Tanko Abdullahi, a spokesman for the board, initially told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the film wasn't banned, but was "denied classification." Later, in the same conversation, he acknowledged it couldn't be shown over unspecified "security issues."
"What is national security for Nigeria is different from that of the U.S.A.," Abdullahi said. "We made that determination because of the content of the film. That's why you have regulators."
The government's decision has seen more people watch the film online. It also has sparked outrage from human rights activists and press freedom groups.
"Instead of banning the documentary `Fuelling Poverty,' authorities should look into the important questions it raises about corruption and impunity in the country's oil sector and at the highest levels of government," Mohamed Keita, an official with the Committee to Protect Journalists, said in a statement. "We urge Nigeria's National Film and Video Censors Board to overturn this censorship order."
The move to ban the film comes as Jonathan's government, which many voted for believing he would change the engrained interests and corruption of Nigeria's government, has grown increasingly unpopular as extremists carry out bombings and the state-run power company cannot offer stable electricity. During the strikes, government officials put increasing pressure on broadcasters not to show images of protests, which at one point saw tens of thousands in the streets of Lagos.
Today, journalists at a newspaper face forgery charges over a story that claimed the presidency would try to disrupt opposition parties. Security agencies have harassed reporters at a weekly newspaper that wrote about abuses by the military in its crackdown against Islamic extremists. And workers who ran a call-in radio show in the northern city of Kano face charges over talking about rumors surrounding polio vaccinations in the wake of at least nine women vaccinators being killed.
Despite the outcry, however, the apparent crackdown continues, only fueling more of the same apathy for Nigeria's government seen by those featured in the documentary.
"We don't have government. It's a whole big banana republic," barber Emmanuel Tom Ekin says in the film. "They've been coming telling us story all the time, deceiving us. And right now, in our faces, they are still deceiving us."

Protecting the identities of our loved ones
Protecting the identities of our loved ones
Order a copy of the credit report. It is best to obtain a snapshot of what the credit profile looks like at the time of death. If identity theft occurs later, knowing how the credit profile should appear will help identify any fraudulent activity. The surviving spouse or executor will need to request a copy of the credit report from each of the three credit reporting agencies.
Flag the file. All three credit bureaus should be contacted and a request should be made to place an alert on the credit file. This alert will notify anyone who pulls the report that the consumer has passed away and not to open accounts or issue credit.
Place the Decedent's name on the Deceased Do Not Contact List. Doing this will stop any preapproved applications or promotional information being sent in the decedent's name. Go to www.ims-dm.com for more information.
Notify the Social Security Administration. In most cases the funeral director will notify the Social Security Administration, but it is a good idea to do this yourself in order to be sure that the SSA Death Master File is updated. Once the decedent's name is placed on this file it helps reduce the risk of financial, employment, and benefits fraud.
Secure and/or destroy documentation. Be sure to collect and securely store vital pieces of identification and documentation. Any old records or documents that are not needed should be shredded or disposed of securely.
Limit the amount of information placed within the obituary. Identity thieves are known to browse obituaries to locate their next victim. When placing an obituary in the newspaper, ensure the information does not disclose too much about the decedent. Do not include their complete address, date of birth, survivor's names or their professional history. Keep it to age at death, how many people are survivors (i.e. wife, number of grandchildren, etc.) and city and state.
Close Social Media Accounts. Identity thieves browse social media sites for information about their targets. Doing this will prevent identity thieves from possibly taking over the social media account or from gathering additional information which could be used to further their crime.

RALEIGH� Jacksonville�s Cormick Brennan couldn�t believe what had just happened.
RALEIGH� Jacksonville�s Cormick Brennan couldn�t believe what had just happened.
Moments after playing his final high school soccer match Saturday night at Dail Soccer Stadium, the senior defender held both his hands on top of his head and told himself that his team was a state champion.
Indeed the Cardinals were after an unbelievable rally that saw Jacksonville get the decisive goal with 3:18 remaining in the second 10-minute overtime from Chris Tziatzos after Brennan�s tying goal with 2:41 left in regulation to defeat Hickory 2-1 in the NCHSAA 3-A championship game.
�It hasn�t set in,� Brennan said. �I don�t know how to put it in words. Everybody believed in each other.�
That despite the Cardinals (26-1) facing some adversity in the title match against the Red Tornadoes (27-2) on N.C. State University�s soccer field.
Jacksonville not only played without senior midfielder Austin Patselas because of too many yellow cards in the playoffs, the Cardinals also saw senior Blake Heatherly leave for the rest of the game following a red card just five minutes into the second half after the official ruled he touched the ball on purpose with his hand near the goal.
All this made the Cardinals title mean so much more for the Cardinals and coach Dave Miller, who also guided Jacksonville to the 2005 state crown as well as eight consecutive trips to the East Regional final.
�Just crazy; the kids kept believing. They believed in each other, and they found a way to get it done,� Miller said. �It shows the type of kids we have, not just this season, but the past eight years. You can�t teach that heart and that desire.�
Tziatzos, a sophomore midfielder, emerged as the championship game�s most valuable player after his goal gave the Cardinals the crown.
The game was tied 1-1 and appeared heading into sudden-death overtime when Jacksonville junior Warren Washington played the ball at the right corner with the mentality of trying to score, despite being held in check most of the game.
However, he crossed the ball to the middle, only to have a defender play it. The defender attempted to kick the ball down the field, but instead kicked it to Tziatzos, who then fired a shot from the 18-yard line and scored.
�I just came through and found a corner,� Tziatzos said.
And Washington was trying to find a teammate inside the 18 when he crossed the ball.
�I was just trying to get it across and serve it to someone,� he said. �Chris put it away.�
Down 2-1, the Red Tornadoes never threatened to score an equalizer as Jacksonville held on for the title.
�We always believed in each other,� Washington said. �We never gave up.�
The Cardinals showed that late in regulation despite being down one goal and being down one man after Heatherly�s red card.
Seemingly, the state title was going to go to Hickory.
�In the back of your mind you are thinking it�s not going to work out,� Jacksonville senior midfielder Aaron Sparks said. �You just have to keep playing.�
That�s what Jacksonville did. The Cardinals got new life when Brennan scored with 2:41 left in regulation. The goal came after junior Ryan Johnson delivered a free kick from about 40 yards out that bounced off Hickory goalkeeper Will Arditti. A scramble for the ball near the goal line ensued before Brennan got his foot on the ball and kicked it in.
�Ryan played it in and it bounced off somebody and I brought it down and just swung. I wasn�t aiming for anything,� Brennan said. �I felt I was close enough to the goal that it wouldn�t rise up over it.�
Regardless of whether it was from him or someone else, Brennan wasn�t surprised his team scored a game-tying goal.
�We knew someone would step up,� he said. �It was me, but it could have been anyone.�
It certainly took a team effort for the Cardinals to rally despite Heatherly�s absence that was created after his hand ball was ruled intentional and set up a penalty kick goal just 4:56 into the second half by Hickory senior Conner Hartman.
Jacksonville�s attack got better late in the second half and in overtime while its defense held tough to keep the Cardinals close. Senior goalkeeper Zach McCracken made 3 saves for the Cardinals, who got strong backfield performances from Brennan and juniors Tyler Waterhouse and Dylan Elliott.
�We switched Michael Chin to the midfield to give us a defensive presence there and in the back we put Tyler, who has given us minutes off the bench,� Miller said. �We had a variety of people back there. It was makeshift. We just threw kids out there.�
Brennan, though, was a little nervous after Heatherly went out. His absence showed at times as Hickory had some chances to extend its lead in the second half. The Red Tornadoes had a shot hit the crossbar and another go just a few feet wide of the goal.
�It was tough because Blake is my safety net,� Brennan said.
But the Cardinals� supporting cast stepped up, and in the end the Cardinals proved they were the best in the state. Jacksonville has been the top-ranked 3-A team in the N.C. Soccer Coaches Association poll since early October.
�We knew that we were No. 1 in the state,� Washington said.
The Cardinals showed that.
�Our motto is, �Believe,�� Tziatzos said. �We just had to keep working.�
Jacksonville 0 1 0 1 � 2
Hickory 0 1 0 0 � 1
GOALS�J: Brennan, Tziatzos. H: Hartman. ASSISTS�none. IN GOAL�J: McCracken (3 saves). H: Arditti (4 saves). SHOTS ON GOAL�J 6, H 5. CORNER KICKS�J 8, H 11. RECORDS�J 26-1, state 3-A champions. H 27-2, state 3-A runner-up.

D.C. Circuit Paves Way for Supreme Court Consideration of Obamacare
Today the D.C. Circuit ruled that the individual mandate is a constitutional exercise of federal power under the Commerce Clause. Senior Judge Laurence Silberman (Reagan appointee) wrote the opinion, which was joined by Senior Judge Harry Edwards (Carter appointee). Judge Brett Kavanaugh (George W. Bush appointee) dissented on jurisdictional grounds without reaching the merits, finding that the Anti-Injunction Act barred the suit until the individual mandate/penalty/tax goes into effect. (The case is Seven-Sky v. Holder; see Cato's amicus brief and a quick breakdown by Tim Sandefur.)
Sure, this is a loss for our side but it's not a big deal. Every development in the Obamacare litigation has been anticlimactic since the Eleventh Circuit split with the Sixth, guaranteeing that the Supreme Court would take the case. Today's ruling, therefore, is notable not so much for its result -- upholding the individual mandate -- as for the reluctance with which it reached it.
After acknowledging the novelty of the power Congress is asserting, the court expressed concern at "the Government's failure to advance any clear doctrinal principles limiting congressional mandates that any American purchase any product or service in interstate commerce." In other words, the majority saw itself bound by the Supreme Court's broad reading of federal power under the Commerce Clause but felt "discomfort" at reaching a result that seemingly had no bounds.
Indeed, the government has yet to tell any court in any of the cases what it cannot do under the guise of regulating interstate commerce. But rest assured that the Supreme Court will ask again, and soon -- it considers the myriad cert petitions later this week. And if the high court is as unsatisfied with the government's jurisprudential non-theory as the D.C. Circuit was, it will not hesitate to strike down this expansion of federal power.
"Federalism is more than an exercise in setting the boundary between different institutions of government for their own integrity," wrote Justice Kennedy for a unanimous Court last term (United States v. Bond). "Federalism secures the freedom of the individual."
I am confident that the Supreme Court will not allow this unprecedented invasion of individual liberty.

|Books and gnomes––two of my favorite things.
We have been busy on the farm and building more needed buildings, while increasing our cattle herd. I tried, for much of the year, to pursue several full-time writing-related jobs off of the farm. Several potentially ideal opportunities were presented to me but none came of anything. What did happen, after six months of pursuit and follow-up, is that I realized, for now, that I'm supposed to stay in my own back yard. And I'm meant to write, right here. I've been publishing, too: several articles this year. It's never all for naught, just remember that!
|I've been told these gnomes are really creepy, perhaps even inebriated.
|A favorite gnome from a dear friend.
So, 2011 will begin with a new and renewed focus. I'm going to be launching a new blog in the coming weeks, one that better reflects my life as it is now. When I started In the Pantry I was living in an 1803 Federal mansion, filled with family heirlooms and layers of history. We were in the midst of a Currier and Ives New England village setting. I was writing my first book. Our daughter was a teenager and our boys were eight and five! Visions of a farm of our own were dancing in our heads with various scenarios and outcomes. I have often shared those here and will continue to do so in the new format.
|Our hen house on Christmas morning––of course we were up before dawn!
Fast forward and here we are, five years later, on a farm on a ridge in Kentucky. Now we have land spreading out so far and wide, we have stuff in storage and we live in a comfortable doublewide. We raise much of our own food or buy it from local farmers. While there is much I often think about or miss in New England, we are blessed!
|My husband's birthday "Robert E. Lee" cake.
|Our annual pudding of York! [Yes, that's its real color: from our own eggs!]
Lehman's (on sale!) and it chronicles 11 years (A decade plus) in small format on one page per date (with eleven entries: one for each year's date, in five lines or less). So you can track, in Twitter-like brevity (or let's make that more like haiku-style notation, as I will never be a Twitterer!), the events of your life, day by day: or the weather, or your diet, or highlights in your family. I used to keep many extensive hand-written journals, many years ago, but this will be a short chronicle. I'm looking forward to the exercise and the meditation of it, while the blogs will continue to be my postcards to the world.
I wish you a very happy, healthy and special New Year and thank you for visiting here all of these years! I'm not going anywhere, I'm just shape-shifting a bit. Stay tuned for an announcement of the new blog in the weeks ahead.
My very best wishes to you and yours,

Remember that Mazda6 Coupe sketch that popped up on the automotive interwebs today? We got it from The Hollywood Extra, a site that provides an interesting mix of shots that are made more interesting by the editor's complete unwillingness to attribute anything. As we guessed, it turns out this is an older Atenza drawing from Mazda. More of them below the jump.
Whatever the source, it makes for an interesting bit of speculation about the future of the Mazda6 and Atenza platform. (Thanks to Matthiijs of Mazda-Madness.nl for the tip)

Cultural anthropology in France continues to bear the influence of a colonial-era distinction between "modern" societies with a high degree of social differentiation (and marked by rapid social change) and ostensibly socially homogeneous and change-resistant "traditional" ones. The history of key institutions (museums and research institutes) bears witness to this, as does recent scholarship centered on "the contemporary" that reworks earlier models and concepts and applies them to a world increasingly marked by transnational circulation and globalization. Anthropology at the Crossroads describes the evolution of a national tradition of scholarship, changes to its institutional status, and the models, concepts, and critical perspectives of anthropologists currently revisiting and reworking the foundations of the discipline in France.

Beyond the Body Count
Field Notes as First Responder Witness Accounts
Patricia Krueger-Henney
I position critical ethnographic researcher field notes as an opportunity to document the physical and ideological violence that white settler states and institutions on the school-prison nexus inflict on the lives of girls of color generally and Black girls specifically. By drawing on my own field notes, I argue that critical social science researchers have an ethical duty to move their inquiries beyond conventions of settler colonial empirical science when they are wanting to create knowledges that transcend traditions of body counts and classification systems of human lives. As first responders to the social emergencies in girls' lives, researchers can make palpable spatialization of institutionalized forms of settler epistemologies to convey more girl-centered ways of speaking against quantifiable hierarchies of human life.
BlackGirl Geography
A (Re)Mapping Guide towards Harriet Tubman and Beyond
Loren S. Cahill
Blackgirls have a long subaltern legacy of being geographers. We have complicated the settler-colonial project of cartography uniquely through our radical placemaking efforts towards achieving safety, inclusion, and liberation. In this autoethnographic article, I trace my own socio-spatial-sensory reflections that I experienced during my visit to Harriet Tubman's Homeplace, Senior Home, and Grave Site in Auburn, New York. I attempt to unsettle the undertheorized renderings of Tubman by interrogating her personal freedom dreams, liberation geography, and womanist cartography. I then map the intergenerational solidarity that Blackgirls have forged with Tubman more contemporarily through their own space making. I conclude by unpacking what ontological lessons both knowledge producers and organizers can glean from Tubman's geographic sacredness and savvy.

Tens of thousands of defense industry workers risk suddenly losing their jobs if automatic federal spending cuts are not averted in the next few weeks, the chief executive officer of the defense contracting firm Northrop Grumman said Monday.
"We can't stand here today and predict what will happen, even though it is just a few weeks away, because we will each have to make those decisions based on the environment at the time," Northrop Grumman chief Wes Bush said during a panel discussion at the National Press Club.
Mr. Bush and three other defense industry CEOs were appealing Monday to members of Congress to reach a budget deal and avoid the automatic spending cuts, known as sequestration.
Beginning on Jan. 2, the federal government would have to cut about $100 billion from its budget next year if sequestration occurs. The Pentagon would have to reduce its spending by $50 billion in 2013.
Before last month's elections, defense companies had planned to issue Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act notices to employees in preparation for the automatic spending cuts. But the White House asked the companies to delay that action, saying it would cover the cost of potential lawsuits.
Under the WARN Act, businesses with more than 100 employees are legally obligated to issue 60 days of advance notice to employees who might be laid off.

Several years ago a few trees in my 6 hectares of pine forest in Montana turned from green to a rusty brown, killed by swarms of bark beetles. Four years later virtually all of my centuries-old forest was dead. It was not just the beetles that did in my trees, but much warmer winters here in the Rocky Mountains that no longer killed the bugs, allowing them to expand exponentially.
Since then, as a science journalist, I have written many stories about the dying of the trees — and the news is not good. Many forests across the length and breadth of the Rockies have died in the last decade. Most of the mature forests of British Columbia are gone, from a combination of climate and insects.
The bristlecone pines of the US — the most ancient trees in the world, with some more than 4,000 years old — will die in the coming years because of a combination of bark beetles and a fungal disease, enabled by a warmer climate. Tree-ring studies on the bristlecone show that the last 50 years are the warmest half-century in the last 3,700 years.
All this is to say that the fungus killing ash trees in Britain is unlikely to be a one-off. Trees across the world are dying. It is not only the changes brought by a warmer world. We have treated the world's trees poorly for centuries, without regard to ecological principles. We have fragmented forests into tiny slivers, and selected out the best genetics again and again with no regard to the fitness of those that remain. Air pollution and soil abuse have taken a toll. And scientists admit trees and forests are poorly studied.
Yet the little that is known indicates trees are essential. They are the planet's heat shield, cooling temperatures beneath them by 10?C and blocking cancer-causing ultraviolet rays. They are robust filters of our air and water, and soak up climate-warming carbon dioxide. Forests slow the runoff of rainfall. Many of the world's damaging floods are really caused by deforestation.
Trees play many other critical roles that we know little about. Katsuhiko Matsunaga, a marine chemist at Hokkaido University in Japan, discovered that as the leaves from trees decompose, humic acid leaches into the ocean and helps fertilize plankton, critical food for many other forms of sea life.
Also in Japan, researchers have long studied what they call "forest bathing." Hiking through the forest has been shown to reduce stress chemicals in the body and to increase cells in the immune system that fight tumors and viruses. Taxane from the Pacific yew tree is a powerful anti-cancer drug.
The active ingredient of aspirin, acetylsalicylic acid, for example, comes from willows. Recommended by doctors to prevent a range of cancers, as well as heart attack and stroke, some believe this chemical in the wild has a medicinal impact on the health of all creatures. Yet, it has not been researched.
Trees are greatly underused as an eco-technology to make natural systems, as well as the world's cities and rural areas, more resilient. Trees can be used to clean up the most toxic of wastes, including explosives, solvents and organic wastes, because of a dense community of microbes as thick as a finger around the tree's roots.
The question is what to plant to withstand the challenges of a changing world to assure a world with trees. In the UK a group called Future Trees Trust is breeding more resilient trees. And a shade-tree farmer from the US is making copies of some of the world's oldest and largest trees, from California redwoods to the oaks of Ireland — with proven survivor genetics — to be part of a future forest mix.

Galadriel's messages
This article describes a concept which is mentioned in J.R.R. Tolkien's works, but was never given a definite name.
This article needs to be rewritten to comply with Tolkien Gateway's higher standards...
Where now are the Dúnedain, Elessar, Elessar?
Why do thy kinsfolk wander afar?
Near is the hour when the Lost should come forth,
And the Grey Company ride from the North.
But dark is the path appointed for thee:
The Dead watch the road that leads to the Sea.
Legolas Greenleaf long under tree
In joy thou hast lived. Beware of the Sea!
If thou hearest the cry of the gull on the shore,
Thy heart shall then rest in the forest no more.'
Lock-bearer, wherever thou goest my thought goes with thee.
But have a care to lay thine axe to the right tree!"

Beyonce + Jay-Z May Be the First Billionaire Couple
With a new H&M campaign hawking beykinis, a lucrative Pepsi sponsorship and several other business ventures in her portfolio, Beyonce may have tipped the financial scales in an astronomical way, making her and Jay-Z the first billionaire couple.
Bey said that the H&M shoot, featuring the diva in a variety of swimsuits, was beautiful and on a tropical island, while the powers-that-be at the discount retailer said Bey brought a dose of glam and drama to her campaign. It's no doubt a partnership that further pads her already loaded bank account.
She can lounge on a tropical island all she wants, since it is expected that she will pull in just under $2 million per show on her nearly 60-city tour. You know, the one that kicked off earlier this week and saw the singer working megatron fake nipples. Who cares how much those cost when you are a billionairess or a beyillionaire! We can do this all day.
A Daily Star report revealed that bean counters estimate that if you pool King Bey's and the Hov's combined earnings, they top out at a billi, yo!
Baby Blue must be celebrating in her diapers.

The Hospital Elder Life Program (HELP) program at Baylor Hospital is a unique in-patient clinical experience that exists in fewer than 200 hospitals world-wide. The program targets risk factors for delirium and is based on research conducted at Yale University School of Medicine by Dr. Sharon K. Inouye and colleagues. The program was modified and replicated at Baylor Health Care System. The program has grown, and is operational year-round at Baylor Medical Center Garland and Baylor Medical Center Irving will soon be available at Baylor Dallas.
Every volunteer receives 16 hours of hands-on training at the hospital. After the training session, each volunteer works with a trained volunteer or staff person. They see patients on each four hour shift, once per week. Volunteers are included in vital information sharing about each patient, including their diagnosis, any special precautions, and their risk factors for delirium. The patient may have deficits in vision, hearing, mobility or cognition, in addition to the underlying medical condition for which they are receiving treatment.
Using this information, the volunteer tailors their interactions to each patient, making sure to keep the patient oriented and engaged during their stay. If there are any changes, the volunteer uses their judgment to involve the staff. Because HELP is a quality improvement program, volunteers also solve practical problems for the patients to help them feel empowered and to improve the quality of their hospital stay. This might be something as simple as refilling the patient's water, activating the patient's phone or helping the patient fill out their menu. Of course, while engaged with the patient, the volunteer is looking for the hallmark signs of delirium. Before leaving their shift, the volunteer completes documentation about their interactions with patients.
This orchestrated effort consistently results in a lower delirium rate than would otherwise be expected, which translates into healthier outcomes for the patient as well as a reduced length of hospital stay. For the volunteer, we have found that engaged volunteers gain tremendous self-awareness, insight in solidifying their volunteer or career interests, typically in the medical field, and hands-on patient contact not found elsewhere.

>The tubes are not meant to be permanent implants and usually fall out on their own or are removed by the physician. The small incision usually heals shortly after the tubes are removed. In rare cases a small hole may remain after the tubes are left in for a long period. This situation can be tested for and is best addressed by your son's physician. It is unlikely that the tubes are still in place after six years, but you should have your son's ears checked by his physician.
>Diving is not recommended while the tubes are in site, as they will allow water to enter the middle ear, risking vertigo and infection. However, after removal or extrusion, adequate time for healing must be allowed, at least six weeks, and middle ear and eustachian tube function must be confirmed as normal before diving is considered.
>A bigger problem may be scarring to the eustachian tubes from the chronic ear infections. This can make ear clearing difficult for the young diver. There is no surgical procedure to date that can correct a eustachian tube that is partially occluded. Loss of eustachian tube function can be big trouble for divers. Children and adults alike need immediate attention for symptoms of middle ear infection and barotrauma. Symptoms may include but are not limited to pain, ringing or roaring in the ears, a sensation of partial loss, decreased or muffled hearing and drainage from the ear canal.

WATERVLIET -- A 28-year-old Watervliet woman, due to have a baby in early June, found out three weeks ago that she has breast cancer. Now, the community she grew up in is rallying around her. "Three weeks ago, everything was fine. Now our world has been tipped upside down," said Kristy Scalise's father, Tim Cavanaugh. "But we've done our crying. Now we're in fighting mode and the outpouring of support from the community has been unbelievable." Multiple businesses, including Axis Salon on 19th Street, are selling pink bracelets that state: Never Give Up, Kristy. Along with this, the Black Bear Inn has been serving the $5 "Kristy Burger" with cheese and bacon waffle fries, since the beginning of this month. The pub's co-owner, Joe Skumurski, said he and fellow co-owner, Tim Delisle, saw Scalise regularly at the Black Bear Inn and that the Cavanaugh family had helped with other fundraisers the pub had hosted in the past. "We wanted to give back," said Skumurski. The owners asked Scalise what her favorite burger and side dishes were and named the dish after her with all profits going to the family to help pay for co-pays, unexpected medical bills, childcare and transportation. TheBlack Bear Inn
also hosted a fundraiser for Scalice, a Watervliet Junior-Senior High School graduate, Friday night. Skumurski said he hoped to donate between $1,500 and $2,000 at the end of the month from the burger proceeds. They have sold more than 100 of the "Kristy Burgers" so far. Jay Halayko withSchuyler Bakery
, had a similar goal for a fundraiser, which runs Feb. 19 through Feb. 23, at the 3rd Avenue business. Next week, 5 percent of all sales will go to help the Scalise family, he said, noting that the bakery will also have a bowl out for extra donations from its customers. "People have already said they will drop off money," said Halayko. He said he hoped to donate between $1,000 and $1,500.Axis Salon
is also doing pink hair extensions for the cause. McIntyre's and the Cannon Barrel Pub are also helping with the effort. Cavanaugh said that his daughter, the youngest of his three children, had surgery at Albany Medical Center Hospital to remove the affected area last Friday. She will begin chemotherapy later this month, with doctors stating her baby will be fully protected in the womb. Family members have also been quilting and doing other activities to help and fundraise in other states including California, Texas and Florida. "She's tough and strong. She's going to get through this. She's going to beat this," said Cavanaugh. "Kristy amazes me. She's certainly stronger than her dad. She's a tough cookie." Danielle Sanzone may be reached at 270-1292.

Marine protected areas25 Oct 2018
Designed to conserve Europe's marine life, marine protected areas are a globally recognised toolfor managing and enhancing our marine ecosystems.
Marine messages20 Feb 2014
Europe's seas are home to a rich and diverse array of species, habitats and ecosystems. Although vital for Europe's economic and social wellbeing, many of these ecosystems risk being irreversibly damaged by human activities. 'Marine messages', a briefing from the European Environment Agency (EEA), provides an overview of the current state-of-affairs of European seas and our use of them. It argues that economic activities including transport, fishing, offshore energy and tourism should be better managed so that they ensure sustainable health of marine ecosystems.
The objective of this report is to frame an analytical approach for coastal areas in Europe, and to place this in the context of the new socio‑economic drivers of sustainable growth, and the formation of a new integrated policy framework. This framework builds on an ecosystem‑based management approach and integrated spatial planning and management. The report presents some key sustainability challenges for European coastal areas and waters, and highlights the need for a consolidated knowledge base and widespread information‑sharing to support informed policy development and management actions.
Chemicals are an essential part of our daily lives and are used to produce consumer goods, to protect or restore our health and to boost food production, to name but a few examples. Some chemicals, however, are hazardous, raising concerns for the environment and human health. Hazardous substances are emitted to fresh and marine waters via a number of pathways and can have detrimental effects on aquatic biota. Humans can be exposed to hazardous substances in water through the ingestion of contaminated drinking water and the consumption of contaminated freshwater fish and seafood. A wide range of legislation now exists in Europe to address the release of hazardous substances to the environment, including water. New challenges exist, however, including the issues of chemical mixtures and emerging pollutants.
European marine regions include the north-east Atlantic and Arctic oceans, and the Mediterranean, Black and Baltic seas. Human activities — such as fishing, aquaculture and agriculture — and climate change cause large and severe impacts on Europe's coastal and marine ecosystems. The EU objective of halting biodiversity loss by 2010 has not been met in either the coastal or the marine environment. Recognising the need for an integrated ecosystem-based approach to reduce pressures, the EU Integrated Maritime Policy allows for the development of sea-related activities in a sustainable manner. Its environmental pillar, the Marine Strategy Framework Directive, aims to deliver 'good environmental status' of the marine environment by 2020, and the Common Fisheries Policy will be reformed in 2012 with the aim of achieving sustainable fisheries. Complementary policy efforts include the EU Water Framework Directive and other freshwater legislation, and the Habitats and Birds Directives.
10 messages for 2010 - Coastal ecosystems25 Aug 2010
Key messages: 1) As an interface between land and sea, European coastlines provide vital resources for wildlife, but also for the economy and human health and well-being. 2) Multiple pressures, including habitat loss and degradation, pollution, climate change and overexploitation of fish stocks, affect coastal ecosystems. 3) Coastal habitat types and species of Community interest are at risk in Europe; two thirds of coastal habitat types and more than half of coastal species have an unfavourable conservation status. 4) Integrated and ecosystem-based approaches provide the foundation for sustainable coastal management and development, supporting socio-economic development, biodiversity and ecosystem services. Coordinated action at the global, regional and local levels will be key to sustainable management of coastal ecosystems.
10 messages for 2010 — marine ecosystems26 May 2010
Marine ecosystems provide key services both globally and locally, which are essential for maintaining life on our planet. However, marine biodiversity faces an unprecedented range of pressures. In recent years climate change has caused changes in species distribution and presents new challenges for marine biodiversity as oceans become more acidic.
Ecosystem accounting and the cost of biodiversity losses — the case of coastal Mediterranean wetlands28 Apr 2010
This report focuses on ways we can use land and ecosystem accounting techniques to describe and monitor the consequences of biodiversity loss in the coastal wetlands of the Mediterranean. These ecosystems are characterised by the close coupling of economic, social and ecological processes, and any accounting system has to represent how these key elements are linked and change over time. This report discusses the importance of estimating the ecological and social costs of maintaining these systems, and the problems surrounding providing monetary estimates of the services associated with wetlands. It also shows how individual wetland socio-ecological systems (SES) can be defined and mapped using the remotely sensed land cover information from Corine Land Cover.

Quality of bathing water — 2008 bathing season
Signals is published by the European Environment Agency (EEA) at the start of each year and provides snapshot stories on issues of interest both to the environmental policy debate and the wider public for the upcoming year. The eight stories addressed are not exhaustive but have been selected on the basis of their relevance to the current environmental policy debate in Europe. They address priority issues of climate change, nature and biodiversity, the use of natural resources and health.
The changing faces of Europe's coastal areas03 Jul 2006
This report provides information on the state of the environment in the coastal areas of Europe, and provides evidence of the need for a more integrated, long-term approach. Since 1995, concern about the state of Europe's coastline has led to a number of EU initiatives, which build on the concept of integrated coastal zone management (ICZM). ICZM attempts to balance the needs of development with protection of the very resources that sustain coastal economies. It also takes into account the public's concern about the deteriorating environmental, socio-economic and cultural state of the European coastline.
EEA Briefing 3/2006 - The continuous degradation of Europe's coasts threatens European living standards03 Jul 2006
Following the principles of the European Thematic Strategy on the Protection and Conservation of the Marine Environment, the collective interest of EEA and UNEP/MAP has been developed towards a product focusing on priority pollution zones in the Mediterranean Sea and addressing emerging issues. All these issues come under the prism of an ecosystem approach. The core of this report derives from the latest (2003–2004) country National Diagnostic Analyses reports (NDA).

David Shearer and his cohort of prospective coalition partners, the Greens, Mana and NZ First, are holding a show-trial into who killed the manufacturing industry.
Forty thousand manufacturing jobs have disappeared, Shearer declares.
What he does not say is those 40,000 jobs have gone since a peak right before the 2008 recession and almost half of that loss occurred in the final year of the last Labour government.
But if Shearer and his band of the grumpy and frumpy were to take the time to read the Department of Statistics September 2012 Economic Survey on Manufacturing, they would learn that total sales in the sector have been static.
Falling from a high of $24 billion in 2008, it is now sitting at $23 billion, measured in 2010 dollars.
The industry has become more productive; jobs have gone, but sales have not.
Shearer is known to enjoy the surf, so he will understand it is best to ride the waves - not try to turn them back.
Manufacturing jobs that have gone are not coming back and there is nothing he, Graeme Wheeler or King Canute can do about it.
As well as his plan to build slums for the urban poor in areas where there will never be any employment - manufacturing or otherwise - he is granting a platform for the vested interests of the likes of the Manufacturers Association to cry about the exchange rate.
The Manufacturers Association complains a survey conducted by ExportNZ last year showed that, despite grumblings on the issue, only 11 per cent of exporters expected deterioration in sales or employment in the next year, with most expecting both to increase.
When asked what the major barrier to export growth was, only 13 per cent complained of their lack of competitiveness, while 17 per cent mentioned exchange rate volatility.
The losses in manufacturing since 2008 have been more than made up for by new jobs in education and training, health and professional services.
Most of those displaced by the fall in manufacturing will not be rehired in professional services, but we employ fewer typists and lighthouse keepers than we used to.
Cutting the exchange rate will not bring jobs back quickly.
Manufacturing is capital intensive; any upturn in jobs will take many years.
In the meantime, those of us not engaged in the sector would be paying more for imported products such as petrol. Particularly distressing, the cost of upgrading my smartphone would rise.
Manufacturing jobs have been killed because the economic tide has moved.
Shearer knows it, or should know it.
He may be king one day and if he is telling us he can control the tides of economic change, then he is going to look pretty silly on the beach after the next election.
Unless he loses and goes surfing.

It has been a long time since I last cooked a curry dish. And for no real reason except that I've been busy cooking other things. But I am always drawn back to the intensity and spiciness of curries. You could say it's second nature, having come from a background where curried foods featured often in homes and restaurants.
My typical curry dishes are Indo-Caribbean (a style of cooking brought to the islands by groups of Indian indentured laborers in the 1800's.) In general, dry curry powder is added to hot vegetable oil, and toasted. At that point, some liquid ( sometimes water, coconut milk or a
mixture of both) will be added which forms the base of the sauce. Finally, raw, seasoned meat or fish is then added to the sauce and simmered until cooked.
For this curry recipe, I am doing the opposite: adding cooked fish (in this case, tilapia) to an already prepared sauce. While this method reduces the overall cooking time, in no way does it diminish the "curry-ness" of the dish.
Cornmeal Crusted Tilapia in Coconut Curry Sauce
Serves 4
4 tilapia fillets
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 tbsp vegetable oil
Coconut Curry Sauce (see recipe below)
1. In a shallow dish , combine the cornmeal, cilantro, and garlic powder, and set aside. Pour the buttermilk into another shallow dish and set that aside. Season the tilapia fillets with salt and pepper.
2. Set up a work station beginning with the seasoned tilapia fillets, then the buttermilk, followed by the cornmeal mixture. Coat each fillet in the buttermilk and dredge with the cornmeal mixture, making sure that both sides get a substantial layer of cornmeal.
3. Cook the now cornmeal-coated fillets in a skillet coated with a thin layer of vegetable oil, about two tablespoons, until cooked throughout, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Transfer to a serving dish and pour over the coconut curry sauce.
Coconut Curry Sauce
1 small onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp yellow curry powder
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 can light coconut milk
1/2 cup low sodium chicken stock
1. Cook the onion and garlic in two tablespoons of vegetable oil until the edges brown lightly. Add the curry powder and cook for another minute.
2. Pour in the chicken stock and coconut milk. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Lower the heat and continue to cook until reduced by about a quarter and slightly thickened.
