What the international community can do right now on Syria | Sima Bahous
13 Jan 2014
The tragic images of death, destruction, and suffering continue to pour out of Syria as the conflict nears the three-year mark.
More than 100,000 Syrians have been killed so far, with 6.5 million people now displaced from their homes by fighting. But Syria's plight is not just one of humanitarian suffering that will end when hostilities cease.
With more than 50 percent of Syria's population now living in poverty, this is a crisis that will have long-term implications for development. Ravaged infrastructure, collapsed services, economic disintegration and rampant unemployment — all a direct toll of the fighting — have now rolled back Syria's development levels by at least 35 years.
More than 2.3 million Syrians have already sought refuge in neighboring Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan, Turkey and Egypt. Refugees now make up approximately 10 percent of Jordan's population and 20 percent of all people living in Lebanon. This influx is changing the demographic balance in host countries and local communities, which threatens to stoke social tensions and increase competition for already-scarce resources such as land, water and jobs. The potential for instability is great.
This Wednesday, the international community will meet in Kuwait to discuss financing for work underway to mitigate the Syria crisis.
To prevent the conflict from sowing decades of poverty in the region, the international community must increase support for immediate relief, while also bolstering development efforts focused on strengthening the medium- and longer-term outlook and helping countries impacted by the crisis to return to their development pathways. This is the way to achieve resilience in the face of difficult challenges in this neighborhood. And it is the surest way to prevent this conflict from becoming the first chapter in a chain of recurring violence that will take lives and soak up billions of dollars of international aid for years to come.
At UNDP, we have already started the restoration of development hope in Syria by creating emergency jobs to remove rubble and waste, as well as repair destroyed infrastructure. We have also helped local authorities in Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon and Turkey to deliver education and health services, improve sewage, water treatment and drainage systems.
These steps, however, are just the beginning. Urgent action is required —for example to offer job training for unemployed and vulnerable youth, ensure women are represented in peace-building processes and employment programs, and to build tolerance and understanding in classrooms across geographical and cultural divides.
We need to act now so that when the guns fall silent and peace prevails, it can be sustained. And that prosperity can follow, not poverty. In Kuwait this Wednesday, with commitment from donors, we have an opportunity to make this a reality.
The Author is Assistant Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Director of UNDP's Regional Bureau for Arab States.

MARTINEZ, Ga. - Senior Morgan Cobb (Cataula, Ga.) of the Georgia College & State University soccer team (10-5-5, 5-1-4 PBC) was chosen as the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Defender of the Week as announced yesterday (Nov. 3) by the conference office.
Cobb led the Bobcat defense to a win and a tie as they captured the fourth seed and a first-round home game. She helped hold USC Aiken to one shot in overtime as Georgia College took a 2-1 win over the Pacers, then played all 110 minutes, holding the University of Montevallo's Natalie Martineau to two shots as the Bobcats forced a 1-1 tie. Montevallo got off only one shot in the two overtimes combined. The Bobcat defense is currently second in the PBC in goals allowed average.
This is Cobb first such honor for the 2009 campaign. Last season she was a three-time Peach Belt Player of the Week and an All-PBC First Team pick.
Cobb is the fourth Bobcat this season to be selected for this kind of award. Junior Mary Rob Plunkett (Augusta, Ga.) has been named Goalkeeper of the Week four times, while classmate Jessica Binkowski (Cumming, Ga.) took weekly honors twice, first as a keeper and then as a defender. Sophomore Tawny Moffat (Peachtree City, Ga.) was also chosen for her defensive efforts.
After a 2-1 win over North Georgia last night in the first round the PBC Tournament, Georgia College advances to face Montevallo again Friday, Nov. 6 at 7:30 p.m. in Evans, Ga.
The GCSU Department of Athletics, winners of the 2008-09 PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, GCSU prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the Bobcats' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

Ibiza is famous for its beautiful beaches and stunning landscapes, its excellent weather and, of course, its unbeatable nightlife. However, since time immemorial, this Balearic Island has also been coveted by many different cultures from around the Mediterranean Sea. The old town of its capital, Eivissa, has the UNESCO World Heritage designation, and conserves the valuable legacy left behind by these different civilisations.
Located in the Balearic Islands, washed by the waters of the Mediterranean Sea, you will love Ibiza for many different reasons. The island's rich heritage is one of its most outstanding attractions: it is no coincidence that it has received the UNESCO World Heritage designation. Ibiza is well worth discovering, and here you can see the mark left behind by the different civilisations that made their home on the island over the ages: from the first Phoenician and Carthaginian settlements, to the Roman, Moorish and Medieval periods.
This journey back in time will take you to the island's capital, Eivissa. The old town is in the upper part of the city: the Dalt Vila acropolis. Strolling through its narrow, whitewashed streets is like a walk through an open-air museum, with a succession of convents, palaces and churches. Dalt Vila is surrounded by a wonderful city wall built in the 16th century, a unique testament to military architecture and Renaissance aesthetics. This highly beautiful and simple Renaissance construction model was to have a notable influence on colonial fortifications established in the New World.
In search of the past
The Portal de Ses Taules Gate is the main entrance to the walled area of Dalt Vila, where you will find some of Eivissa's most emblematic monuments. This is the case of: the 13th century Cathedral which has undergone various alterations since then, incorporating different artistic styles according to the tastes of the age; the Town Hall, which is set in an old Dominican convent building; Santo Domingo Church, whose exterior is outstanding for the domes of its cloister; also the Almudaina complex, a Moorish fortress that predates the Renaissance defensive walls. From its keep there are magnificent views of the city's port and the south of the island.
Your visit to Dalt Vila should also include a visit to the Archaeological Museum: it has a broad array of exhibits that will let you discover Ibiza's past and the different cultures that lived here from prehistoric times to the Middle Ages. The museum also has another centre at the Punic necropolis of Puig des Molins. This site is in an excellent state of conservation. It has close to 3,000 underground tombs and is considered the most important funereal site in the western Mediterranean. If you still have time left over, be sure to visit the Sa Caleta archaeological site, a unique example of a Phoenician town, with remains dating from the 7th century BC.
In Ibiza you will find crystal clear waters, stunning beaches, fascinating areas of countryside and an incredible atmosphere. But the island has rich heritage and monuments too. Are you going to miss them?

Balata Refugee Camp: fieldnotes and reflections
Last Saturday my friends and Kalimatna partners Mary and Khamees met with the director of the Yafa Cultural Center, which offers programming similar to TYO for children and youth in Balata refugee camp. Since almost half of the kids in my art and storytelling class come from Balata, I tagged along. After the director's introduction to the Center's activities, two young men took us on a tour of the camp. Balata is 1 square kilometer, with more than 20,000 inhabitants. It is the smallest camp in the West Bank in land size, but with the largest population. Like so many camps, it was created in the 1950s for a population of 5,000-6,000, and the infrastructure has grown disproportionately (and haphazardly) with the population. What follows combines our guides' commentary with my thoughts during and after the tour.
Walking through narrow alleys that many U.S. Americans would not even fit through, I wonder what I am doing here. How can it be that tours of refugee camps even exist? The shabby but temporary tents that the word "camp" evokes are nowhere to be seen—just buildings crammed between and on top of more buildings. The guide points out the window to the first building erected in the camp decades ago. It now faces a wall to another apartment, less than a meter away. Again and again we are told about the lack of privacy and fresh air in the homes here. Sunshine cannot get inside, so lights are kept on all day.
Uncomfortable that I am taking in people's living quarters as if they were a tourist attraction, I turn to the other young man from the Yaffa Center, Ahmed. "How often do you give these tours?" I ask. Every day, more or less, because there are lots of interested internationals, he says. (A curious response since Nablus is purportedly a city unfrequented by foreigners). Then I ask how he feels about leading tours for these visitors. He says that he likes to show people the conditions of the camp. He studied journalism and he knows that the media coverage of Palestine mostly only shows one side of the issues.
"You don't have to be born in Palestine to believe in the Palestinian issue," he tells me. "It is a matter of the heart of all human beings." Ahmed talks about poverty, the right to return, and the change that foreigners can make from "the outside." I am reminded of my time in coup-led Honduras, where so many interviewees trusted foreign journalists to tell the world "the truth."
The tour ends with so many of my questions unasked. In particular, how do Ahmed and the others at the Yaffa center envision change from within? This question is always difficult to answer, but here in Palestine, where community (the basic unit for internal change) has been so intensely and purposefully fractured, I am at a loss to know where people's answers will begin.
Additionally I want to ask what he is proud of about Palestine. I realize that my feeling of conspicuousness as I hugged my Nikon around tight corners of Balata's alleys comes from my focus on what is lacking in the camp. It seems absurd to walk through such an impoverished place while knowing the way I and others richer than myself live. Yet it strikes me that perhaps people in all places like to show and describe where they live to visitors. In that sense, our tour is no different from the time years ago when I showed some friends from England the Amish sites of Pennsylvania. Of course Ahmed and the others declare life in Balata to be nearly unlivable, but there is also something here that they recognize as theirs—something to be proud of. Though I didn't ask the question, I can guess at the answer: the people.

Hello everyone,
So I figured I would share a hardware project that I have been working on.
This project is to convert a PS/2 Mouse for use on a Color Computer. I decided on a micro controller to do the main work load. The chip I decided to use is a ATmega328P DIP with the Arduino UNO R3 bootloader firmware.
So far I have had a few incarnations of the project. I started with trying to use PWM for the analog output, but ran into a few issues with it being read fully stable by the CoCo when used with the Hi-Res software routines.
I then decided to try a breakout board for testing that used a MCP4725 I2C DAC. I ran into problems with these DAC's dying after about 2 hours of use. (*sigh*)
Jim Brain, of RETRO Innovations, suggested I try using a MCP4922 which is a SPI based DIP package DAC.
I changed my hardware design over to use this MCP4922 and changed my Arduino sketch to match the new hardware with a MCP49xx library I found.
So far this project seems to be working with Color Max Deluxe with the Hi-Res software routines and seems to work with the Tandy Radio Shack Hi-Res Interface Adapter as well.
My current hardware layout I have the PS/2 Port (6 PIN mini DIN) for the mouse input. I have two 6 PIN DIN connectors as well which one of them is used for a Joystick Output which is then connected to the CoCo's joystick input. The other 6 PIN DIN is a input port so you can plug a CoCo joystick into it .
So far the joystick input feature is not enabled as I have not gotten around to adding that feature to the Arduino Sketch yet.
I also figure I would provide here the links to the libraries I am using in my project.

BIRT provides sorting capabilities on many report items, including Tables, Lists, Cross Tabs, Charts and Groups. Sorting is configured using a sort key expression. The expression is usually tied to data that is returned in a BIRT data set. In addition to supporting sort direction, BIRT also supports locale specific sorting and sort strength.
The expression is entered at various locations in the designer and depends on what report item is being sorted. For Cross Tabs, Lists and Tables the sorting expression can be entered in the property view, under the sorting tab.
The sorting expression for Charts is defined in the Select Data tab of the chart wizard, next to the expression for the category or optional grouping expression.
Group sorting is defined in the Group Editor.
If your BIRT report uses a grouped table, by default the group will be sorted by your key expression. In some cases this may not be desirable. Specifically when the data is pre-sorted in the order you want it to appear. BIRT provides an advanced property to turn this behavior off. You can access this property ("Sort by groups") in the advanced table of the property editor after selecting the table.
When sorting groups, Tables, Lists and Crosstabs, BIRT supports multiple expressions and the data will be sorted using the first expression, followed by subsequent expressions. While most sort expressions are quite simple, it is possible to create a custom sort order using a more complicated expression. Expressions can multi-lined, use report parameters and even call out to external classes. The following multi-line sort expression returns the third order line number first in the custom sort.
var ol = row["ORDERLINENUMBER"];
if( ol == 3 ){
}else if( ol == 1 ){
}else if( ol == 2 ){
}else if( ol == 4 ){
Sort expressions can also be created and applied in a BIRT JavaScript event handler. For example the following beforeFactory script adds a sort expression to a table group.
//Name Your Table
tbl = reportContext.getDesignHandle().findElement("mytable");
var lc = new ULocale(reportContext.getLocale());
sc = StructureFactory.createSortKey();
var tblGroup = tbl.getGroups().get(0);
//to put the sort on the table use the table handle
//instead of the group handle
ph = tblGroup.getPropertyHandle(TableHandle.SORT_PROP);
The examples shown in this post are available at BIRT-Exchange.

2 6-year-olds wander from Pa. school to museum
PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Pittsburgh Public Schools officials are investigating an impromptu field trip of sorts that occurred when two 6-year-old students wandered away from their school and walked to the city's Children's Museum a few blocks away.
District spokeswoman Ebony Pugh says she can't specify what sort of discipline officials at Martin Luther King Elementary School will face for the incident Monday, because that's a personnel matter.
A museum spokesman tells WTAE-TV (http://bit.ly/KcnmKo ) that the students showed up at the museum about 2 p.m. Monday and asked if admission was free. When they were told no, the students ran into the museum until they were caught by security guards.
The school was locked down after a teacher noticed the students were missing.
Pugh says the school is developing a plan to prevent future incidents.

Victims of sexual abuse by Catholic clergy are calling for the church to be opened up to compensation claims.
A number of Ballarat victims, from the group known as The Survivors, are making submissions to the hearing of the Victorian Parliamentary inquiry into institutional abuse.
Keith Whelan was abused when he was a schoolboy and has told the hearing the church coerced him into signing a deed which prevents him from seeking compensation.
"The Towards Healing process was more about the church being seen to be doing something than healing for victims," he said.
"I want support and funds to start my own business. We need ongoing medical and counselling support."
He and other victims want those deeds revoked and the establishment of a support fund, paid for by the churches.
Judy Courtin, an advocate for victims of abuse at Ballarat Catholic schools, says the fund should be administered by the Government but paid for by the churches.
"In order for that to be able to happen, the fourth recommendation, is that there be legislative reform of the Catholic Church Property Trust Act to enable survivors to sue the church," she said.
Peter Blenkiron, of Ballarat, is also a member of the The Survivors.
"I'm triggered all the time. The fear of getting something wrong is a trigger. My stomach wants to heave up, my chest tightens and I can't breathe," he told the hearing.
"There are times your sense of hope gets worse. It gets darker and darker."
Ann Murray's brother, Anthony Woods, died from AIDS complications when he was 33-years-old.
"On a school camp to Lightning Ridge he was asked to go into the tent of Father [Gerald] Ridsdale where he was raped all night," she said.
Their brother, Steven Woods, says the church makes it very hard to charge clergy.
"This is what happens when you go against an organisation such as the church - they harass you. You are treated as if you are the perpetrator," he said.
"They'll say they can't afford it [the support fund]. That's just bullshit.
"The church spent $2 million on defence for two of the paedophiles who molested me."

The Pale King: An Unfinished Novel, by David Foster Wallace '85 (Little, Brown)
Reviewed by Dale E. Peterson
[Fiction] When a living author's voice abruptly falls silent, readers, along with friends and family, grieve the loss of an intimate relationship and crave closure. David Foster Wallace left no note to assuage the pain and perplexity produced by his 2008 suicide, but he did leave, with apparent deliberation, a rich and troubling legacy for posterity to ruminate upon. Waiting to be found in his garage office was the workshop of a prodigious mind—multiple hundreds of typed and handwritten pages stored in paper and digital files and accompanied by notebooks and rough drafts indicating the potential shape of a massive work in progress. In a laborious act of devotion, Michael Pietsch—Wallace's editor at Little, Brown—has assembled these rudiments into a facsimile of the text intended for publication as The Pale King. This ingenious fabrication gives "ghostwriting" a new meaning, and the result in no way coheres as a novel, but it does allow readers the satisfaction of eavesdropping on the last project with which the writer struggled. It is, in fact, a true legacy. We now can begin to appreciate what was on Wallace's mind, what he left us to contemplate.
Well before the book was published, rumors were swirling that the author of Infinite Jest had enrolled in accounting courses and was seriously at work on a large novel about lives enmeshed in the Internal Revenue Service and its phenomenally boring routines. The main narrative focus of The Pale King is, indeed, on the inner workings of the federal tax collection agency at a moment in its history (the mid-1980s) when the modes and motives of the operation are under internal scrutiny. In the book, two competing groups descend on the Peoria Regional Examination Center in the aftermath of a directive known as the "Spackman Initiative," which mandates a crucial shift in efficiency measurement from "throughput" to outcomes. The sedentary examiners, or "wigglers" (presumably named for their buttocks-flexing exercises), will no longer rise in status for rapid, impartial processing of returns, but for quick calculation of profit margins for the agency. At stake is a change in the federal ethos from enforcement of civic accountability to an obligatory accounting of maximum revenue streams, and this change results in an intra-agency war between advocates for professional civil servants and champions of computerized audits.
Into this contest Wallace thrusts a large cast of raw recruits and wily bureaucrats, all converging on the Midwest REC facility on Self-Storage Parkway, a destination whose name evokes the bureaucracy's isolated cubicles, which are equally conducive to recreation or wreckage. It's notable that the embattled rear-guard director of the Peoria office is named DeWitt Glendenning; this is an allusion to the title character in Herman Melville's novel Pierre, who has the same surname and is similarly an outmoded idealist. In a striking digression—a philosophical dialogue conducted in a stalled elevator—it is Glendenning who cites the The Federalist Papers and bemoans the demise of citizenship and individual responsibility for the common good: "something queer is going on in terms of civics and selfishness in this country, and we here in the Service get to see it in its most extreme manifestations." Wallace's unfinished novel, like the IRS but much more broadly, examines what it might mean to be called to account for oneself.
In this new book, fans will find much that is recognizable. There is the same wild Dickensian inventiveness in corralling multiple characters and plots within an external system that encloses them. And there is no ebb in Wallace's manic verbal energy that spills over the page in compulsively chatty asides and bloated footnotes. Critics have rightly noted that Wallace's favored mode is a kind of parabolic realism in which exaggerated attention to detail and grotesque situational comedy combine to make a common institution (tennis camp, halfway house) uncommonly representative of a circumambient culture. True to form, The Pale King utilizes the numbing regulations of the tax code and the dull concentration required of IRS examiners to exemplify in a central national institution the inevitable challenge of overload and boredom that confronts adults swamped in an "information economy." As Wallace's evangelical recruiter of future accountants puts it: "Enduring tedium over real time in a confined space is what real courage is." Yet there is something different, some greater intensity in The Pale King. Wallace's big book is much larger than a civics lesson or profile in adult courage. While it certainly makes a timely comment on the state of the nation and meditates on modern maturity, the manuscript that survives is a parable of many parts, a work of more serious ambition.
One of Wallace's greatest gifts as a writer is his ability to depict, in all its hilarity and angst, the tragicomedy of self-awareness. His last writing displays a rich variety of mindscapes in which he captures the convulsions of minds in extremis. We are treated to many variations on the dazzling digressiveness of human consciousness as Wallace's characters struggle to manage their attention span in order to concentrate on a task or evade a core anxiety. We watch with amusement and horror the awkward leaps and disabling consequences of intense self-auditing. Some characters undergo unwelcome incursions of irrelevant associations, while others cannot free themselves from personal obsessions or fixed ideas. One of the oddest cases is the Kafka-like young contortionist who harms himself in a futile attempt to kiss every part of his own body—surely a parable about the inevitably inaccessible self!
No character in The Pale King better expresses at a philosophical level the fundamental urgency and complexity of accountability than "The Author" himself, who intrudes twice in the book he describes as a "vocational memoir." Wallace's final project thus becomes, from another angle, an experiment in full disclosure by the real person as fiction writer. This is tricky territory, not only because the legalities of publishing fiction in America require a disclaimer of similarity to real persons, but also because Wallace, like any honest memoirist, cannot disentangle imaginative truth from experienced reality. So, whether or not Wallace actually was a "wiggler" in the Peoria REC facility after suspension from an unnamed college for paid service as a "ghost writer," The Author is true to his vocation of inventing a multileveled parable about the moral and personal complexity of being "called to account" as a public citizen and a private self.
In a 1996 Village Voice Literary Supplement review of Joseph Frank's four-volume critical biography of Dostoevsky, Wallace vowed to honor an older model of "serious" literature that did not distance itself from a passionate moral engagement with the messy struggle to reconcile values and personality. Although the parts do not yet cohere in an integrated "polyphonic" novel, it is not hard to see that The Pale King offers compelling evidence of Wallace's commitment to honor that pledge. Like Kierkegaard, another bold explorer of the absurd contours of subjectivity, David Foster Wallace has left us what he could—his version of a concluding unscientific postscript.
Peterson, the Eliza J. Clark Folger Professor of English and Russian, was Wallace's senior honors adviser in English. For his honors project, Wallace wrote a 400-page work that became the 1987 novel The Broom of the System.

MADRID — Sheldon G. Adelson, the American billionaire casino magnate, is set to build a giant gaming and leisure resort on the outskirts of Madrid, ending a lengthy bidding battle between the Spanish capital and Barcelona, the country's second-largest city.
But the project, called EuroVegas, remains clouded in uncertainty. Mr. Adelson's company, Las Vegas Sands, offered few clues on how it would be financed amid a deepening recession and banking crisis in Spain, how big it would be or where it would be situated.
In a statement issued Friday, Sands said the project was in an early stage and still dependent on how the euro zone debt crisis evolved. "Progress toward resolution of the current economic challenges within Europe will be an important consideration," the company said. Sands is hoping to limit its contribution to 25 to 35 percent of the equity of EuroVegas, and said it would explore "financing options from the capital markets for the project."
Mr. Adelson repeatedly delayed a final choice between Madrid and Barcelona, intensifying the tussle between the two cities, which each sent delegations to Las Vegas this year. "Barcelona is an outstanding tourism destination, and choosing Madrid over Barcelona was not an easy selection," he said on Friday.
Underscoring the fierce rivalry between Spain's two largest cities, the regional authorities of Catalonia, whose capital is Barcelona, unexpectedly presented on Friday a casino and theme park project of their own, called Barcelona World, which is set to be built at a cost of 4.8 billion euros, or $6.1 billion, near one of Spain's most successful existing theme parks, PortAventura.Continue reading the main story
Barcelona World will occupy land now owned by La Caixa, a Barcelona-based savings bank, and the project is being led by Veremonte, a Spanish property developer. The exact financing is also yet to be determined.
EuroVegas, however, remains a more ambitious project, as well as a gamble by Mr. Adelson that he can repeat in recession-hit Europe the success he has enjoyed in Las Vegas and Macau.
In recent months, Sands executives have presented EuroVegas as a giant resort that will have 12 hotels with a total of 36,000 rooms, six casinos with 18,000 slot machines, and three golf courses. On Friday, however, the company said it still needed to determine the exact size and location of EuroVegas.
Mr. Adelson and other Sands executives have visited three locations around Madrid, all of which have plots of land that have stood empty since the start of the world financial crisis and the collapse of Spain's property market.
Mr. Adelson emphasized the enthusiasm that his project has generated in Spain, at a time when the country has struggled to convince most investors that it will not be forced into a Greek-style bailout. "We have met so many tremendous supporters of both cities and are thankful for the friendships we have developed," he said.
But his plans have run into opposition from civic groups on environmental and ethical grounds. In particular, there has been concern about how extensively authorities are prepared to change existing rules. Esperanza Aguirre, president of Madrid's regional government, recently urged the national government to make concessions requested by Mr. Adelson, including some tax exemptions and an easing of restrictions on smoking in public spaces.
Tomás Gómez, the regional leader of the opposition Socialist Party, said his political group would investigate whether Ms. Aguirre had agreed to any "secret conditions" to attract Mr. Adelson. "The law must be equal for everybody," Mr. Gómez told EFE television on Saturday.
Some opponents also say they fear that by promoting gambling, Spain might encourage criminal activities like prostitution and money laundering.Continue reading the main story

The Control Study for the Multidisciplinary Approach to the Study of Chronic Pelvic Pain (MAPP) Research Network has been established to focus on a broader approach to the study of Interstitial Cystitis (IC)/Painful Bladder Syndrome (PBS) in men and women, and Chronic Prostatitis (CP)/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS) in men, than previously undertaken.
Participants with no Urologic Pelvic Pain Syndromes as well as participants with specific conditions (Fibromyalgia (FM), Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)) are being recruited for the Trans-MAPP Control Study. These participants will act as a reference/control group for the Trans-MAPP Epidemiology & Phenotyping (EP) Study.
As with many chronic pain disorders, IC and CP are poorly understood, and treatment is often not helpful. The goal of this study is to better understand how pain is felt in people with IC or CP. The MAPP Control Study is an observational study that will enroll participants from 6 Discovery Sites and 3 Satellite Sites across the U.S. The investigators will ask questions and gather information about the health and life of the participants for research purposes. The investigators hope that this study will lead to improvement in the treatment of IC and CP.

It is believed that the property's Great Hall was in 1580, host of works by Shakespeare as one teacher noted "wilim Shakeshaft nowe dwellynge with me." Rufford New Hall is a former country house built by Sir Robert Hesketh in 1760.
The township of Shevington in Lancashire was home to the family since early times. "Before the general introduction of dates in the conveyance of landed property, a family existed denominating themselves from this township. The family of Hesketh have possessed property here for several ages, and have been considered as lords of the manor. In the township are a number of ancient mansions: the old Hall or manor-house, the property of the Heskeths, is of the date 1653." [2]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of England. Institute of Historical Research, 1848, Print.
The parish of Rufford, also in Lancashire was later the family seat of Sir Thomas George Hesketh. There he had New Hall built. "On the north side of the family pew of the Heskeths, is a venerable marble slab, on which are represented a knight and his lady, the former being Thomas Hesketh, who died Oct. 1363."

- GP2 news
GP3 champion Evans steps up with Arden
- Teams:
- Arden International
GP3 champion Mitch Evans has been confirmed as one of Arden's race drivers for the 2013 GP2 season.
Evans - a protégé of Mark Webber - won the GP3 championship with MW Arden last season, earning him a €200,000 Pirelli prize to help fund a drive in GP2. It has now been confirmed that Evans will remain with Arden but move up to its GP2 outfit and race alongside Johnny Cecotto Jnr this season.
"Firstly I'd like the thank Arden for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to drive with them in GP2 after two greats years in GP3," Evans said. "I want to thank Mark Webber and Ann Neal and everyone behind the scenes that have made this possible, I am hugely grateful for the chance to race in the GP2 series. I have full trust in the team that they will give me the best opportunity to have a successful rookie season. I cannot wait for the season to get underway."
Arden's sporting director Julian Rouse said that he believes Evans' experience with the team will give him a strong chance of battling at the front this season.
"We are delighted to have Mitch move up to GP2 and stay with the Arden team," Rouse said. "We have a great relationship with him, and have seen him grow in the last two years in a Championship that was created to bring great drivers into GP2 Series. We tested Mitch at the Barcelona and Jerez tests at the end of last year and were encouraged by his performance especially as he was in the top 10 with drivers who have several years GP2 experience. Also with everyone at Arden knowing Mitch so well, I am sure we can develop him as a front running GP2 driver very quickly and efficiently."

Anglo-Welsh Cup
Young: We let the fans down
ESPNscrum Staff
October 23, 2011
Dragons No.10 Steffan Jones celebrates at full-time at Adams Park © Getty Images
London Wasps director of rugby Dai Young bemoaned his side's lack of hunger after they suffered a shock 30-29 defeat by the Newport Gwent Dragons at Adams Park on Saturday night.
The Aviva Premiership outfit outscored their Welsh rivals by four tries to two, with John Hart, Tom Varndell, Ross Filipo and Joe Simpson all touching down. However, the Dragons, whose tries came courtesy of Phil Price and Hallam Amos, clinched victory thanks to the boot of fly-half Steffan Jones, who finished with 20 points to his name, the youngster clinching victory with a last-gasp penalty.
Wasps boss Young was less than impressed with his side's performance, arguing that they had been outfought on the night.
"I didn't think we deserved it. We played a team that didn't have the quality in their side that we've got but they were far hungrier," the former Cardiff Blues boss said.
"Defence is normally one of the strongest points of our performances but it was extremely poor tonight. "We scored four tries and blew one or two more but you have got to defend - and we didn't defend with the same vigour and intensity we have all season.
"We gave away some penalties and the two tries they scored were well taken by them, but poor from us.
"I'm not a very good loser and I'm disappointed. We put a strongish [sic] team out to try and build up a togetherness between us and the supporters here and we let the fans down and ourselves down."
Unsurprisingly, Dragons coach Danny Wilson was thrilled by the result, particularly in light of the fact that the region were without 11 players through a combination of injury and World Cup commitments.
"We held on in there," he said. "We'd talked about controlling possession and after a reasonably good first half, we found ourselves under the cosh a little bit.
"We had 11 boys under the age of 23 in our 23-man squad and Wasps put on a very strong bench that put us under pressure. But the character of our players - young and experienced - was fantastic. To get an away win like this against an English Premiership side is superb."

Subscribe To Apparently The Nazis Made 3D Movies Too Updates
I've already subscribed
Hollywood may be completely obsessed with 3D right now, but it is far from a new technology. Filmmakers have been using stereoscopy for nearly a century, the first presentation of 3D being recorded in 1915. But if you hate 3D and you're in need of some new talking points (and don't really care about rationality or reason), I'm happy to deliver: apparently the Nazis made 3D movies too.
NineMSN has learned that documentary filmmaker Philippe Mora has discovered two black-and-white Nazi propaganda movies that were shot and presented in three dimensions. Mora found the movies while doing research in the Berlin Federal Archives for his newest doc, How the Third Reich Was Recorded, an examination of the Nazi's use of manipulating images. The two films are titled So Real You Can Touch It and Six Girls Roll Into Weekend; one shows bratwursts cooking on a grill while the other features two actors from the Universum Film Studio.
I can hear Glenn Beck now: "You know how all of these 3D movies have been coming out under the Obama administration? Well, you know who else had 3D movies? The Nazis!!!!"

Subscribe To Video: Tila Tequila And Jennifer Aniston Go Between Two Ferns Updates
I've already subscribed
Because it's been so long since Friends went off the air and Jennifer Aniston has made some pretty terrible film role choices since then, there seems to be this perception that the actress simply isn't funny. It's an idea that isn't just untrue but also totally unfair, given how much genuinely good comedic work she's done even in movies that were way beneath her (The Switch being just one of many, many examples).
In this week's Just Go With It Aniston's talents are likely to be wasted yet again, but at least as she makes the publicity rounds she's taking part in something actually funny: Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis. The pseudo-talk-show hosted at Funny or Die has brought us surreal joy in the past with guests like Jon Hamm and Conan O'Brien, and now it's Aniston's turn to sit in the awkward hot seat, made even more awkward by the fact that Tila Tequila was already sitting there. You never expected to see Rachel from Friends chat with Tila Tequila about reality TV, but you'll be so glad it happened once you watch it.
Really, I'm not sure why Tila Tequila had to be involved-- it's a funny joke, but kind of robs Aniston the opportunity to actually engage with the stone-faced Galifianakis, something I'm sure she could have pulled off well. All the same I'm just glad someone as popular as Galifianakis is recognizing Aniston as a comedic peer; even if Just Go With It turns out to be a disaster, hopefully it'll help us all get back to recognizing Aniston as a gifted comedian again. Check out the video below to get a glimpse of what I'm talking about.

Ben Jebb lined up at left tackle.
Ben Jebb lined up at left tackle.
Quarterback Trent Steelman barked out signals.
As soon as the ball was snapped, Jebb exploded off the line and went low for a block inside the Foley Athletic Center.
It was only practice Thursday, but it was a start. Jebb, a senior, was working with his teammates for the first time in four weeks.
Ankle and heel injuries have sidelined Jebb. Army's training room has become his second home.
Jebb has one game left in his career. Jebb is determined to play, in perhaps, the biggest one of his life.
Army (2-9) will battle Navy (7-4) for the Commander in Chief's Trophy on Dec. 8 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
"I'm just trying to do everything possible to get on to the field," said Jebb, a 2009 Cornwall graduate. "It's kind of a day-by-day thing. I'm still favoring my right leg a little, but it's getting steadily better every day. We still have a week to go."
Jebb targeted the Navy game for his return. He wants so badly to play his first snap in the rivalry. Jebb knows the pain isn't completely going away in his ankle and heel. How much pain can Jebb take? Ultimately, that could be the deciding factor on whether he plays or not.
"The doc said that's (fighting through the pain) is basically what it's going to come down to," Jebb said. "It's not going to get a whole lot better between now and Navy. There are some longer-term solutions for after the season. It's just going to be getting used to playing with it a little banged up."
Jebb's parents, Joel and Cindy, are both West Point graduates. Ben has seen many an Army-Navy football game.
"It's the biggest game of the season," said Jebb, who could help Army snap a 10-game losing streak to Navy. "I just want to be able to go out with my teammates and class members and leave the field knowing we battled through it together. That's what on my mind."

Mess O'Potamia
He has busted Mr. Obama again for impersonating George W. Bush. Isn't it sad that a comedy show has to bring us the real news about what is going on?
Bruce Gagnon is coordinator of the Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space. He offers his own reflections on organizing and the state of America's declining empire....
I grew up in a military family and joined the Air Force in 1971 during the Vietnam War. It was there that I became a peace activist.
I'm home again, worn out like an old shoe, but still breathing. When I got here I raked the snow off the parts of our roof that I can reach - it appears we had a load of it from what I pulled down.
We were able to stretch out a bit on the train and got some sleep. The further north we went the more it looked like we were in a scene from the movie Reds heading into Siberia. The train conductors kept saying over the intercom that some of the doors might be frozen shut when we stopped to let people off and at one point they were shoveling snow from the passage way separating our car from the next. But with all that said I love riding the train even if it is slower than planes. I had a good book. We need more rail.
This video above is a pretty good review of what happened yesterday in DC at the climate change-No coal protest and lobby day. I do hope these young folks don't allow themselves to be steered into the Democrat party corral - that would be a huge mistake if that happened.
Resource wars are now moving into Africa. The US today is getting 24% of our oil from the African continent. Bush created the new AfriCom command and Obama will implement the expansion of US militarism in the region. It's called the seamless garment of corporate control and domination regardless of political party.
Resist AfriCom. Resist US corporate militarism.

Flip-Flopping on Opening Day
Congratulations, Al, on your new affiliation with the Washington Nationals. Excuse me while I puke.
"The wonderful part about getting to watch the Nats all season long is that they could send a team to the playoffs…"
— Allen Krause
Seriously? Look, Al, I'm not going to ridicule you for your
support of a National League team. That's perfectly
understandable. And I'm not going to ridicule you for your
passing on Baltimore. But I am going to ridicule you for your
reasoning because if you think that the Nats have even a smidgeon of a
chance in a division stacked with the Mets, Phillies and Braves then
you have much bigger problems — problems involving your brain or, more appropriately, the lack
But before I get too angry or too possessed by the strong emotions that
tend to separate me from reality — I must remind myself that this
proclamation that the Nats "could send a team to the playoffs" is
coming from the same guy who, while living in the Chi, wore a Cubs hat
and tooted around town wooing with Wrigley Ronnie Woo Woo on his arm.
So sure. I get it. Living in a new city you feel a little
displaced. You are looking for a new social network — a venue
for communitas. No shame in that. So you do what feels
comfortable. You align yourself with losers who perennialy get
their hopes up only to be let down in every single way possible, only
this time they wear a "W" on their hats instead of a "C".
I totally get it.
At least your silence tells me you heartily agree with my assessment of your inappropriate Filibuster question. And your acceptance of disloyalty towards the man who once pitched your team to a World Championship. I know. I know. Your welcome for my thoughts.
In keeping with such exactitude, I have to say that TLR saw his club get off to a good start today; unfortunately, rain wouldn't allow it
to last long. Such was the case in many cities this day.
No, there weren't any snow-outs this year, but Allen, your dream of an
Opening Day sans the Yankees came true. Don't get used to
paradise. They play tomorrow.
And I guess I won't bring up that colossal letdown loss the Tigers took against the mighty Royals today. Gil Meche what!?! Tigers got Danza-slapped!
Okay, I will admit, I did get a little mancrush on Cabrera when he hit
that longball; but all in all I found it quite sad that all of those
white suburbanites immediately went back to buzzing about post-season
hockey when the final score was in.
Nah, don't worry about it, Al. It's a long season…and besides, you're a Nats fan now, so your season will be that much longer.
Seriously, don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

Encore Society Members on the Met
Brian Smith
Opera became a part of my life when my eighth-grade class traveled to NYC to attend a performance of Puccini's La Bohème at the old Met. That day started my love of opera and, especially, the Metropolitan Opera. In 1970, when I was married with two children, my family made a job-related move to St. Louis, Missouri. Visits to NYC and the Met were infrequent. But thanks to the live Met radio broadcasts on Saturday afternoons, we never stopped listening to opera.
After the radio broadcasts, I would often call my mother in New Jersey, and we would discuss what we had heard. By sharing what we had experienced, our personal bond was strengthened. That is why I decided to include the Metropolitan Opera in my estate planning with a gift for the purpose of promoting opera productions on radio and television or in other media forms. I know my mother would be pleased.
Rev. Terence Blackburn
I grew up in Flint, Michigan, where my love of opera was nurtured through the Saturday afternoon Met broadcasts. At the age of 10 or 11, a friend and I would go to the Flint Public Library and check out the libretto for the following Saturday's broadcast. We would get together at one of our houses, our moms would make us lunch, and we'd listen to the performances coming live from the stage of the Met. This continued through high school, and by then I was hooked on opera.
I am remembering the Met in my will because I always want there to be a "first time" for new opera lovers. It gives me great pleasure to think of the joy, the splendor, and the sheer magnificence that await future generations, and I'm happy to do my small part to see that the Met goes on and on and on.
Tina Tang
The Metropolitan Opera came to me relatively late in my life. Unlike many of my colleagues on the Met's Young Associate Steering Committee, I didn't grow up with opera. My parents were, and still are, unfamiliar with it.
The first time I bought tickets to a Metropolitan Opera performance was as a birthday present for my (now) ex-husband. I thought it would be something new and different to try. But Faust hooked me, and I instantly fell head over heels for the Met. My passion was such that after my first full season of opera, I sought out the Young Associates Steering Committee so that I could be even more involved with the company.
Thus, with opera being such an integral part of my life, it was an easy decision to include the Metropolitan Opera in my estate planning. It is, and always will be, something that makes me happy, in life and in death, just like my favorite opera stories.
Marianne Bethke
As a Canadian teenager, I started listening to the Metropolitan's radio broadcasts in the 1950s. I was drawn to beautiful voices, portraying fascinating characters and telling gripping stories, but I had to rely on my own imagination to "see" Renata Tebaldi's Mimi or Mario del Monaco's Otello because my life did not accommodate trips to New York.
All that changed in March 1997—my first opera weekend at the Met. What an exhilarating experience that was, when all those mental images became reality! The majesty of Lincoln Center, the inspiring artistry of the Chagall murals, the simple elegance of the house, the sparkle of the chandeliers, and the famed gold curtain. And when it went up, my life was enriched forever.
Considering the immeasurable enjoyment I have received, how could I not want to give something in return? The Encore Society has given me the ideal way to express my gratitude. Thank you, Metropolitan Opera.

Surfboard Review: Fourth Doofer By Luke Hart
THE Fourth Doofer is a hybrid design which attempts to create a 'one board quiver'. A slightly glib way of describing a board which goes well in almost anything.
Suitable for those on a tight budget, a single board to travel with or anyone looking for a board which just goes. Of course no 'one' board can be better suited for a number of tasks than a board specifically designed for that single task. However one board can perform well in multiple situations and conditions and Luke would contend this is just such a beast.
