Sign's right, though I wouldn't say there are too many straight people married today. There ARE too many gay babies, but remember, GOD didn't make gay people. People make gay people.
You're ignorant, God doesn't exist, funny sign, end of story.
You're ignorant. Shoving your beliefs down another persons throat, funny sign, end of story.
I Believe in God. What if you're wrong? Think about it!
What if you're wrong, and all this bigotry is meaningless? Think about it!
I believe there isn't a God. What if you're wrong? Think about it!
He's not wrong, trust me.
Oh please…..too many gay babies. Get over yourself.
Funny sign. I'm a little mad at you Dol Halverto though because I put it on my Facebook, and had to remove it because of your comment.
As a human being, you are still an animal. There is NO higher power to hold you accontable, and nobody should tell you what you can and cannot do. Life is too short, go out there and have fun. Ignore the haters.
How rational is that if homosexuality has a gene, then how does TWO heterosexuals conceive a homosexual gene? Doubt that is possible.
FACT: Gay used to mean happy, brought forth by heterosexual thinkers. It is the homosexual community that brought different definitions of gay and pride.
Freedom is not a choice to do anything you chose. Freedom is a privilege to do things morally right.
You have no understanding of genetics.
2 Co-dominent genes can result in either way of child birth.
Calm down, it's just a sign.
This is the gayest sign ever.
Gay sign, why would you rainbow the words on it, gay. A chick couldn't have done it because they are in the kitchen.
"You're ignorant God does not exist" ?
How were humans created? By monkeys? Evolution? Okay then…. who created monkeys? Think about it…such a stupid comment. smh
Normally I try to stay out of discussions like this, but…..really? In evolution, humans came from monkeys. Monkeys, in turn, came from other mammals. They were not exactly "created" by anything or anyone. Instead they came to be from a series of slow changes, sort of like a natural version of the selective breeding that gives us different breeds of dog.
Open up a textbook, moron.
Who created God?
God was always there.
Well maybe monkeys were always there as well.
Sadly, monkeys did not invent the written word…so their story is left untold. Quite tragic!
It's all science, sorry to say this but, some guy didn't just magically create the entire world. Get your head out of the clouds, God is a thought, he isn't real, maybe one day this country won't be raised to believe in "it".
Every single one of you are ignorant, and the truth is we really know nothing.
I am a Christian. That is, I believe that God created everything; Heaven, Earth, plants, animals, and humanity. Also, I believe in science. Yes, this includes the science we have all been taught since grade school. That is, I believe that God created every atom in our bodies. He created every molecule that knits us together, every proton, neutron and electron that binds and chemical ATP that gives us energy to stay alive. For any Christian to say they do not believe in science is belittling the very nature and intelligence of our Lord. God is a genius. If you ever look at a scale of the smallest molecules in the universe to the very largest masses that we've been capable of scaling in our current human stage of intelligence and technology, thus far, we are somewhere in the midst of a massive, extraordinary and mind-boggling abyss of God's glory. Do you understand that? I mean, look around you. Whether you believe in God or not you can not deny that the earth is magnificent. If you have not come to this realization yet then take a look at the sun rise or set, a rainbow after a storm, or pictures of other parts of the world and I promise, you will be a goner.
God. Is. GARGANTUAN. (I honestly don't like that word, "gargantuan" but it's the best adjective I can think of that describes the hugeness of God)
He is creative and awe-inspiring. I mean, seriously, look at every animal, insect, sea creature, bird etc. They are all so intricately sculpted; painted with different colors, patterns and textures. HOW can you not look at that and say, "Wow! What creative mind thought of all of this?! AND for them to all work together perfectly in the circle of life, creating the food chain of autotrophs and heterotrophs, completing a perfect system that makes our world go round. Only a brilliant and intelligent brain could think of ALL of that and make it work so seamlessly together." Oh wait, just kidding…it all started with a big BANG! Two atoms (from who knows where) clashed together and formed these marvelous organisms and we all just happened to "be" on accident. uhh huh…
Im really don't want to offend anyone. Im not trying to "shove" my opinions down anyone's throat. These are just my thoughts and beliefs and I couldn't help but put them here. I won't get into the "gay" conversation. But there are a lot of problems with the "church" today. Christians are hypocrites and judgmental, plus more..I'm sorry for the poor example that many of us give off. But there will always be hypocrites in this world. Always. So just step back forget everything you have ever heard of christians and christianity and look SOLELY on God, you're creator…You will not be disappointed, I promise. God is not a hypocrite.
I believe gods exists, however, I will not side with you since your reasoning is flawed.
The shape, structure, everything about organism is determined by:
Environment, adaptation, long chains of evolution (in which god takes no part in that).
bigbang theory would prove the expansion of universe and thus, start of the universe. if we follows that way, even the non-livings just changed automatically.
^^ one can always argue god created bigbang phenomenon? but another can always argue otherwise too.
The sign is funny because it's true. It's cleverly ironic.
Nobody gives a f**k about this anymore, that bible will probably be just as much mythology as Zeus soon.
Well, if God created everything, who or what created God?
I thought aids cured gay people.
In today's world, It does not take two straight people to make a baby, it only takes science. People making the baby don't even have to meet.
…I love it when idiots talk about evolution as if they were there to witness it, and bigger idiots shove God down everyone's throats. We all know absolutely nothing. We will never truly understand the universe simply because our point of view is biologically skewed. Go get some 'book learnin' about universal perspective and a certain type of particle. This world is a wondrous place, don't ruin it with your incessant "my view be right!" bulls**t. None of us care anymore. No-one is impressed. Just enjoy the time you have and f*** what everyone else thinks. There. I found the one f*** I had and used it on this old a** picture. Now I lost it again, so, farewell.

It wasn't texting after all that caused the fatal car crash of Heidi Montag's plastic surgeon.
Although there was widespread speculation that Dr. Frank Ryan, who famously performed a marathon 10-operation makeover on Montag, had been texting when he crashed in August, authorities in alibu say there is no evidence to support that.
"His Jeep drifted to the right, ran off the roadway, and overturned down a rocky embankment," says a press release issued Wednesday by the California Highway Patrol. "There was no evidence of any other contributing factors in the cause of this collision."
Ryan was sending a Twitter message about his border collie just before he wrecked his Jeep on the Pacific Coast Highway near Malibu, his ex-girlfriend Charmaine Blake told People.
Ryan, 50, whose other clients included Gene Simmons, Vince Neil, Adrianne Curry and Shauna Sand, was killed when his Jeep went off the side of the road. He suffered major head injuries and died at the scene. Just before the accident, Ryan had been hiking near Malibu with his Border Collie, Jill, and shared a photo on Twitter.
"After 25 years of driving by, I finally hiked to the top of the giant sand dune on the pch west of malibu," he wrote. "Much harder than it looks! Whew!"

Informatica Data Integration and Cisco Tidal Enterprise Scheduler: Delivering Timely, Trusted, and Relevant Data for Business Intelligence Reporting
No doubt data is one of an organization's most important assets. The trick is to turn it into timely and trusted information—information that can be used to rapidly uncover new markets, attract and retain customers, reduce operating costs, shrink time to market, and make smarter strategic decisions. In short, leveraging data can sharpen a company's ability to navigate markets.
So when we combine Informatica's world-class data integration platform with Cisco® Tidal Enterprise Scheduler, we are enabling organizations to gain a competitive advantage in today's global information economy by empowering them with relevant and trustworthy information to support all their business decisions.
You might wonder how this partnership delivers superior data output. The data that fuels a company's business intelligence (BI) systems comes from a variety of internal and external sources. Informatica's data integration solution is designed to transform this data into information that is accurate and actionable by applying processes such as extraction, cleaning, transformation, integration, and loading into data warehouses. But how do users manage each of these of steps, with their multitude of connections, interdependencies, and sources that include dozens of applications and databases? This is the role of Enterprise Scheduler. It manages the complex flow of enterprise data into the Informatica system and ultimately delivers it to the appropriate BI reporting tools. In the hands of business leaders, this trusted information fuels enterprise success.
Ever heard of the saying "what can go wrong will go wrong"? The challenges faced by IT operational staff in maintaining high quality business intelligence information are insurmountable without the right tools for the job. Complex data pathways and their associated moving parts can break, dependencies cannot be met, systems go offline and, without visibility into each of these processes, reports will be incorrect, or late, or both. So this is where Enterprise Scheduler and Informatica work together to deliver mission-critical data to the right place at the right time for all Informatica extract, transform, load (ETL) pathways.
Need to manage complex ETL processes in the enterprise? The information provided by a business intelligence system is only as good as the data that goes into it. Out-of-date and inaccurate data delivers unreliable intelligence, go figure. Many problems result when the ETL process is handled by a patchwork of scripting and custom coding that feeds inaccurate data to the Informatica engine. Because there is no way to monitor and control end-to-end execution of the process, there is no way to guarantee the accuracy of the data. Enterprise Scheduler creates an automated data workflow for Informatica PowerCenter (webinar) environments as part of a cross-platform, cross-application process orchestration solution.
And you also might wonder how Cisco Tidal manages Informatica workflows.Well, Enterprise Scheduler integrates with the Informatica PowerCenter server using vendor-approved application program interfaces (APIs). Through these interfaces, the scheduler communicates with Informatica PowerCenter to define, run, and monitor workflows. IT staff can schedule, monitor, and manage PowerCenter workflows from the Enterprise Scheduler console through rich scheduling features that include granular calendaring, events management, and access to enterprise-wide dependencies.
Ok, so I'm going to stop boring you with all the tech talk and just cut to the chase. Enterprises can immediately realize these benefits when leveraging Informatica data integration using the Cisco Tidal end-to-end job scheduling solution:
- Dramatically raise the reliability and quality of business intelligence reports
- Improve IT's use of time and resources, enabling operations teams to deliver better service
- Make strategic business decisions that are based on reliable, timely data

HAYWARD — Authorities are testing a bone fragment discovered in a San Joaquin County well to determine if it may be that of missing Hayward girl Michaela Garecht, who vanished in 1988.
The girl's mother, who was contacted by police Monday, said she believes the fragment is likely that of her daughter based on information that was shared with her by police. Michaela was 9 when she was kidnapped outside a Hayward corner market on Nov. 19, 1988.
"As far as the bone itself goes, they told me it was (from) a girl between the ages of 5 and 13 and that (it coincided) with the time she went missing. There are not a lot of girls that it could be," Michaela's mother, Sharon Murch, said Wednesday.
Hayward police declined to answer questions Wednesday evening but will discuss the case Thursday morning.
The 3-inch bone fragment is undergoing DNA testing, Murch said police told her. Murch said she did not know when results of those would be known. She also said she did not know what bone the fragment may have come from.
"They didn't say, and I didn't ask," she said.
In an email, Hayward police Lt. Roger Keener confirmed Wednesday that his department received a fragment unearthed in a well in Linden, near Stockton. The well is believed to hold the victims of the so-called "Speed Freak Killers." The fragment belonged to a child between the ages of 5 and 14, Keener said, and Hayward officers hand-delivered it to a lab in Arizona "for testing in the possibility it may be that of Michaela."
The discovery comes after the remains of murder victim JoAnn Hobson, excavated from the Linden well earlier this year and returned to her family for burial, were revealed to have been mixed up with possibly two to four others, Keener said.
Rather than bury her daughter, Joan Shelley, the mother of the 16-year-old Hobson, who vanished in 1985, sent the remains for analysis by the Human Identification Laboratory at Chico State. The report found that the use of large earth-moving equipment used by police contributed to commingling the remains.
Murch, of Castro Valley, said she learned Monday from a Hayward police detective that the bone fragment along, with the mixed human remains, were in the hands of Hayward police.
The report opens up the possibility that other victims of the "Speed Freak Killers" may have been unidentified.
The family of Ilene Misheloff, who was 13 when she vanished on Jan. 30, 1989, while walking home from school in Dublin, said they had not been contacted about the latest finding.
Ilene's father, Mike Misheloff, did not want to speculate if that means anything about his daughter's case.
"I've learned over the years just to wait for things to play out," he said. "Nothing can be drawn at this time. Conclusions have to be based on facts."
The killing duo of Wesley Shermantine and Loren Herzog were never convicted in Hobson's death, but Shermantine's tips led investigators to the Linden well.
Herzog and Shermantine were convicted of four murders and suspected in the deaths of as many as 15 people in and around San Joaquin County from 1994 to 1998. They were arrested in 1999. The pair were nicknamed "The Speed Freak Killers" due to their methamphetamine addiction.
Murch has held out hope for closure in her daughter's case before. When Jaycee Lee Dugard was found at the home of Phillip and Nancy Garrido in August 2009 — 18 years after she disappeared — Murch also said she thought police might find Michaela there.
But Wednesday night, Murch said something feels different this time.
"They presented (the bone fragment information) to me in a very detailed and methodical way. (The detective) started at the very beginning (of the Herzog/Shermantine case) and went through the various things they've investigated and the various people talked to," Murch said, adding that certain confidential information given to her by police shows there is a likelihood that Herzog kidnapped Michaela.
Still, Murch said she does not know yet what she will do if faced with the news that the bone piece is that of her missing daughter.
"I really don't know," she said. "I guess we'd have to try somehow or another to recover the rest of the bone fragments."

Sharon Henson almost did not make it to her mother's funeral on July 26 in Huntsville, Ala. A detached retina accompanied by a gas bubble in her eye barred travel from Sun City to the funeral.
Her doctor forbade her to fly or travel over the mountains. When the bubble disappeared the day before the services, her doctor approved the trip and she and her husband, Ty, made the journey.
In contact with the funeral home and her brother, Larry Worley, Henson knew she would not make the visitation the night before the graveside service. She could, though, spend some time that morning before attendants moved everything to the cemetery. Finally shooed out of the family room while preparations were made, the couple and Worley were sitting in the waiting area when a stranger approached them.
"She asked if we were the family of Carrie Esther Worley," Henson said. "She reached into her purse and pulled out a battered 1940s Chesterfield cigarette tin that I recognized immediately."
Huntsville resident and postal employee Nancy Hicks was able to complete a mission she began 15 years ago with a 25-cent purchase at a yard sale.
"Nancy told us she had no idea the postcards were inside when she bought it, but when she opened it and began to read them, she knew she had to find the family," she said. "Mother would never have gotten rid of them. She kept everything."
During the 15 years she owned them, Hicks made numerous searches to find relatives of the postcards' recipient without luck. When the notice of Worley's death and impending funeral made the Huntsville newspaper, she knew she had to attend, Henson said.
The postcards were varied. Photos, tourist prints and block letter illustrations marking the cards coming from Fort Leonard Wood, Fort McCoy and Houston, Texas, showed the amount of travel Eual Worley did while he was in the Army. Henson said her father joined before the attack on Pearl Harbor and spent the first few years as a cook and baker.
"He was sent all over the country and while he was at Fort Leonard Wood, that's when he met my mother. My grandfather had a farm in Elkland, Mo.," she said. "When they got married, my mother stayed there until he got out at the end of the war."
Sharon was born on the farm Oct. 21, 1943, 10 months after the couple were married.
"The doctor came out with his little black bag for me," she laughed. "My younger brother and sister were born in the hospital in Huntsville."
Worley saw her once or twice, Sharon said, and in December 1943 was transferred to the infantry and shipped overseas to the European Theater of Operations.
"He was always telling funny stories about the Army," said her husband. Both Sharon and Ty, who is a graduate instructor at The Citadel, knew there was more to Eual Worley's Army service than funny stories.
Worley spoke very little about the war, only to mention being in Normandy, Rhineland and Ardennes — ultimately earning four Bronze Stars, she said.
"My brother found a box under their bed one day and opened it. He told me there were lots of medals and papers in it," Sharon said. "My father came in then and closed the box, telling my brother he didn't need to know about those. We never found them again."
The lovely bride who received long letters in between the funny and colorful postcards suffered from Alzheimer's in the last few years of her life. Henson said that on her last visit to see her mother, Esther Worley could not tell that the visitor was her daughter.
"My brother and I talked about that and think that maybe she wasn't seeing well in the end. When she was told Sharon was there, she was bright and said 'goodie'," Henson said. "She loved to sing and we would sing the old hymns she loved. Sometimes that was how I would reach her. The last one I heard her sing was 'How beautiful heaven will be for me'."
It may have been just a coincidence that her father died in 1996 — the same year Hicks bought the postcards. The scribbled messages were light-hearted, reassuring, loving and encouraging to the young bride. When the colored pieces of cardboard were handed to Henson, they were a gift and brought the loss of her parents to a closure.
"What it did for me was it took some of the sting, some of the grief away," she said. "It gave me some peace, and some excitement because someone would to go that much trouble."

This will work on the T-Mobile phone as well. Just follow the different step to get into download mode. This will NOT change the flash counter. You are not loading a rooted rom. Here is a comprehensive and user-friendly guide to rooting your Telus S2X. Included is also some tips to roms, kernels and things to improve battery life. *Please ensure you follow the steps as laid out here. Failure to do so may mean you may break your device. If this happens, you can always flash back the original rom and fix your mistake. I take no responsibility if you screw up your phone but would be happy to help. Adopted from Melvin's XDA thread (big thanks goes to Melvin!) *Please ensure you have a memory card installed to be able to do a backup. You can skip the backup but this is your choice. If anything goes bad you will need to use odin to flash back the stock rom. 1. You will need these 4 files before proceeding: Odin 1.8 T989 USB Drivers (Windows only) Clockmod Recovery for T989 (flash with Odin) If you are on 2.3.5: Superuser app 3.0.5 If you are on 2.3.6: Superuser app 3.0.7 2. Install, unzip the USB drivers and install them on your computer 3. On your phone, go to SETTINGS>APPLICATIONS>DEVELOPMENT Check USB Debugging 4. Now plug in your phone and a menu will come up asking if you want to mount as a USB drive. Select it and copy the SuperUser zip to usbStorage folder on the internal drive (really anywhere is fine but I will keep it simple here and select a folder) 5. Unmount your phone and unplug it from the computer. 6. Now, unzip Odin file and open the folder. Inside it will be the Odin app. Launch Odin but do NOT connect the phone yet 7. To flash with Odin (which is a Samsung Testing application) you will need to boot your phone into DOWNLOAD mode. To do this, do the following: POWER OFF. Then HOLD VOLUME DOWN and keep pressing it and then press power. It will boot you into the following screen. Press UP to confirm you want to flash *This is different for us Telus users. T-Mobile have to press both buttons and then connect 8. Now, you can connect your phone to your computer. Wait for odin com port to turn YELLOW before proceeding 9. On ODIN, Select the PDA button and browse to the recovery.tar. Make sure Re-Partition is NOT checked (it shouldn't be). Now press start and let it flash the custom recovery. It should say PASS once finished. Close Odin. 10. Next, disconnect your phone. Power it off. We will now need to get into the new recovery module you flashed. To do this press both VOLUME UP AND DOWN and hold them. Then press power and wait till it boots-don't keep holding power. Once you see the recovery screen let go of the volume buttons immediately. Sometimes, I am not fast enough and the phone reboots. If this happens HOLD the VOLUME buttons again and repeat the process. You should see something like this: 11. Using your volume buttons, navigate down to BACKUP and RESTORE. Choose: (NANDROID) BACKUP *To make a selection press the POWER button (it acts as a return key). This will create a complete backup of your stock phone in case something goes wrong. If it does, you can always boot back into recovery and choose RESTORE from the BACKUP and RESTORE menu. Nice huh! Don't skip this step or you will be sorry. 12. After the restore choose "GO BACK" to return to the main menu. Then select ADVANCED and choose FIX PERMISSIONS. Once this is complete navigate back to main menu 13. Once back at the main menu, choose INSTALL ZIP FROM SDCARD. Select CHOOSE ZIP FROM INTERNAL SDCARD. Navigate down to the usbStorage folder and select the su-3.0.5-efgh-signed.zip or su-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip file. Go to main menu and reboot system. You are now rooted! This means you have full access to system files and is like jailbreaking on an iPhone. You should have a superuser app installed. If not, you are not rooted. Hope this was helpful to people.

Service Fabric + Azure API Management
This repo contains Resource Manager templates to get started with Azure API Management and Service Fabric, together, in Azure.
Cloud applications typically need a front-end gateway to provide a single point of ingress for users, devices, or other applications. In Service Fabric, a gateway can be any stateless service such as an ASP.NET Core application, or another service designed for traffic ingress, such as Event Hubs, IoT Hub, or Azure API Management.
The Resource Manager templates in this repo deploy API Management and a Service Fabric cluster into a shared Virtual Network, allowing API Management to communicate directly with Service Fabric so it can perform service discovery, service partition resolution, and forward traffic directly to any backend service in Service Fabric.
This project has adopted the Microsoft Open Source Code of Conduct. For more information see the Code of Conduct FAQ or contact email@example.com with any additional questions or comments.

Los Alamosby Philip Greenspun
Home : Travel : Footsteps : One Section
The romance of working at the place where Big Science was born never wore off. Even though my lack of clearance kept me "outside the fence" within which the bomb physics staff toiled, I couldn't forget that the world never thought about science the same way after Los Alamos. Before the Manhattan Project, it wouldn't have occurred to anyone that simply throwing money and brains at a scientific problem would be enough to solve it. Science proceeded at its own pace, largely through serendipity. That the greatest war in history could be ended by assembling a bunch of eggheads and feeding them 2% of GNP for a couple of years gave the world faith in government-funded science.
Echoes of the achievement at Los Alamos resonated through public debate through the 50s and 60s. Nobody would have proposed going to the moon had not the Manhattan Project succeeded. Even most of our grand social projects were partly inspired by the physicists and engineers of Los Alamos. Americans were the first to get the Big Science religion from Los Alamos and are probably going to be the last to lose it in this day and age when problems seem beyond scientists. For example, you won't see a group of Belgians demonstrating in the streets bitterly complaining that their government isn't spending enough on AIDS research. It isn't ingrained in their psyche that the government is capable of knocking over specific scientific problems merely by allocating funds. Yet in America, we still think that we can beat Nature if only we are willing to devote enough money and brain power.
So much for Los Alamos National Laboratory as part of the Collective Unconscious. Day to day, the Lab was probably the most supportive place I've ever been when it comes to getting work done. Your project is important and the place runs on a wartime footing. Think a piece of equipment will speed up your research? It shows up in a day or two. Think UNIX is destined to be unreliable and mysterious? Not at the Advanced Computing Laboratory, where I worked; Stephen and Jerry know as much about the Suns, Crays, and Connection Machines as the people who built them. Need a journal article? Send email or call the library and they'll send you a copy the next day. Can't wait? Drop by the comfortable library in person; it is open 24 hours.
LANL would definitely be work-heaven for a physicist or applied mathematician. As a computer scientist, however, I missed being at MIT in the midst of many of the field's pioneers. Nonetheless, so many of the new developments in computer science are being made outside of MIT that it was refreshing to be in a place with a more outward-looking orientation. There is a contempt for work done outside 545 Technology Square that keeps the people inside from being completely familiar with often relevant papers. At Los Alamos, though, there are people who are interested in keeping up with the entire academic world's progress in particular areas and those folks are better able to answer questions than some of their MIT counterparts.
I occasionally heard grumbling about bureaucracy or DOE regulations, but as a graduate student I was almost completely isolated from both. Except for the personnel department, whenever I did have to deal with the LANL bureaucracy, it was remarkably efficient, helpful, and friendly. The overhead at the Lab isn't very different from what it is at MIT, which is remarkable when you consider that MIT doesn't have to maintain hundreds of miles of barbed-wire fence and enough guards and heavy guns to repel the entire PLO.
Social adjustment was another matter. I'd been so completely happy with life on the road the previous summer (writing Travels with Samantha ) that I assumed being in New Mexico would be easy. Moving and traveling are very different though. When traveling, I didn't expect to have a social life or friends in every town. One week after moving to Los Alamos, though, something inside me decided that I was a social failure if I didn't have a dinner invitation every night as I did back in Boston.
This might have been a serious problem if I'd lived in Santa Fe. Time and time again people complained about how unfriendly the town was.
"I had lots of friends back in New Jersey. But I've been here for two years and people don't really even meet my eye on the street," was a typical lament.
Hispanics and Indians didn't seem to have much trouble, with their relaxed lifestyle and large extended families, so I decided that the main problem was that it was difficult to be a work-obsessed yuppie and still feel that one had a rich social life as might be possible in the East or in LA.
If Santa Fe would have been tough, my choice of housing brought me close to despair for the first month or two. The Lab offered me a two-bedroom apartment to share with three other male graduate students. The $168/month price didn't upset me, but my vision of what the bathroom and kitchen would look like after a month did. I settled down in a two-man dome tent in the National Forest two miles from my office.
Practically speaking, this was ideal. I'd wake up every morning in a quiet pine forest to brilliant sunshine, maybe a deer or two, and a view out over the mesa to the Sangre de Cristo Mountains 30 miles to the east. It took me three minutes to drive from my tent to the Wellness Center. Although free, this is nicer and less crowded than 99% of commercial health clubs. Weight machines bore me to tears, but when they were a 15-second detour from the shower, I couldn't regard my wimpy musculature with complacency. After working out and chatting with the Pueblo Indians and Hispanics that make up the security force, I'd shower with LANL-provided soap and shampoo before rolling two more blocks downhill for a breakfast at the remarkably good cafeteria.
Mornings were great, but the evenings were terrifying. I'd sit in my office from 5 pm to midnight alone every night before driving up the hill to my tent. My social life was centered around the town of Los Alamos, which can be the loneliest community of 10,000 in the world.
Before I showed up, I figured the town and the lab would contain a random sampling of the technical elite. That was true during World War II when the lab sucked in every available physicist and engineer in the nation. I hadn't been there long before I realized that a process of self selection obtains here. Consider the thoughts of a graduating PhD physicist.
"Let's see... I've got my PhD and I want to move to a state where I'll be left alone. That means Alaska, Montana, New Mexico, or Wyoming. I don't want to have to talk to students so that rules out universities. Maybe I could even find a job where it would be illegal for me to talk to more than 1000 other people worldwide. Say, that pretty much narrows it down to Los Alamos."
Once our exceptionally anti-social scientist decides to work at the Lab, he is faced with another decision: live up on the hill with the rest of the people who like to keep to themselves or commute from Santa Fe where he'll waste 90 minutes or two hours every day in the car and possibly get sucked into art gallery openings.
The result of this self selection is a town where you seldom hear the word "dinner party." People like to come into work at 9, think alone in their offices, bore each other to death at the occasional meeting, and go home to wifey at 5. When you ask about recreation, it is invariably a solitary outdoor pursuit or maybe going out to dinner with the wife. I can count the number of deep conversations I had with Los Alamos residents on the fingers of one hand. After lunch with a Harvard geologist who'd been through GET training with me, I said "Jerry, this was a really good discussion. I'm so glad to finally connect with someone who both works and lives up here."
"Philip, I don't know where you got that idea. My wife and I just built a house in Santa Fe. You couldn't pay us to live up here in Los Alamos."
On one of my summer mountain bike excursions, I stopped to talk with a woman who lived in White Rock, a satellite town of 8,000 that makes Los Alamos look positively cosmopolitan. Now that her kids were grown, didn't she mind living in White Rock with just her husband?
"Oh, we moved here a couple of years ago because we like the outdoors and the West. White Rock is great. Of course, you recognize everyone because you see them every day at the Lab or in the supermarket, but people create their own sense of privacy by not saying `hello' even if they've seen you a hundred times before."
Not everyone adapts so well. One graduate student described his fellow young physicists as "the healthiest group of alcoholics in the world. These guys drink half a bottle of whiskey every night at a bar, then get up at 7 am and bike 30 miles up a mountain before coming into work."
Marital problems are conspicuous in such a small community. The most likely "co-respondent" in a divorce is a neighbor and fellow Lab employee. One local woman married her first Lab employee at age 19 and then married three more in succession, each time moving up the organization chart. She's 45 now and divorced from a deputy director.
"What I hate about people in this town is that they don't understand wife swapping," noted a 20-year Lab employee. "You aren't supposed to keep the other guy's wife! One guy in my neighborhood was down in Espanola and some Hispanic teenager stole his 357 Magnum out of his car. Like an idiot, he chases after the kid and the kid shoots him with his own pistol. He's in the hospital recuperating for six months and in the meantime his wife starts an affair with his neighbor across the street. When he gets out of the hospital, his wife marries the neighbor and he marries the neighbor's discarded wife."
Not everything about the town is bad, though, especially if you are a middle class Midwestern white person. This is your ideal version of New Mexico. You've got the best climate and scenery in the state for starters. Adobe? "Living in the dirt is for animals; our houses and businesses would look right at home back in Missouri." Mexican food? "We'll take real American food, thank you very much: Pizza Hut, McDonald's, a diner, a few Chinese restaurants, and one semi-upscale place for taking out interviewees." Hispanics? "Thank you but we can live without their violent crime and illiteracy (we'll let them take the grunge jobs at the Lab, though, especially because it will make our affirmative action program look successful). Indians? "We have a tough time telling them apart from the Hispanics; besides, they like to stick to their pueblos." Rich people from Los Angeles making us sick by building million-dollar houses and driving around in $100,000 BMWs? "They can stay in the Santa Fe hills."
In making New Mexico just like Kansas, Los Alamosans have been remarkably successful. In a society where everything is criminal, there is of course plenty of crime, e.g., teenagers drinking alcohol, people smoking marijuana. However, there is virtually no behavior that John Stuart Mill would have felt government had a legitimate right to stop. Don't bother locking your car; nobody is going to steal your Alpine radio (even if they might take your wife).
Although I've come to appreciate how difficult it can be to hang onto my Alpine radio in Boston, the low crime rate wasn't my favorite thing about the town of Los Alamos. In the Me Society of the 90s where politics is all about grabbing as much as possible for oneself and voting one's pocketbook, Los Alamos stands out as a town where people cooperate and "civic virtue" is not a hollow phrase.
You will never see a better public library, public swimming pool, or
public parks in a town of this size. Rich communities don't even do
so well because of the tendency for each member to hoarde his wealth
and spend it inside the fence around his property. The community
spirit of Los Alamos comes from the public spirit of the lab. At a
publicly-funded research university, the idea that society is supposed
to get something back for its money would be a shock to most of the
researchers. They are in it for personal glory and advancement. At a
technical company, the goal is to take as much money out of society as
possible for the least amount of effort. At the Lab, though, most of
the workers take the idea of public service seriously even if they
don't talk about it. Scientists at Los Alamos want to be leading
edge, they want to publish in journals, but ultimately they try to
deliver something of value to the society that funds them.
If you like the photos above, you might also like the rest of the photos I've taken in New Mexico.

Crime Migrates to Suburbs
As Homicides Fall Sharply in Cities, They Are Rising in Surrounding Communities
RIVERDALE, Ga.—Friends of African immigrant Demba Balde worried about his safety when he opened his Metropolitan Food Mart in southwest Atlanta. The two-room store, which sold beer, candy, cigarettes and other items, was in the middle of one of the city's most violent areas.
But the 49-year-old native of Guinea-Bissau ran his shop without major incident for years. Every night after closing, he drove to his modest home on a quiet street in this unincorporated area of Clayton County, about 15 miles south of Atlanta....

Along my financial journey in life, I made a great number of mistakes. In this ten part series which runs from July 19 to July 30, I'm going to focus on ten of my worst mistakes and the difficulties and successes I've had in overcoming those mistakes.
I bought many expensive (and inexpensive) items without adequate time to enjoy them.
One of the most cathartic things I did in the immediate aftermath of the choice to turn my financial life around was to simply go through our apartment in order to collect stuff to sell in order to give a big initial boost to our debt repayment.
What shocked me wasn't so much the amount of accumulated stuff, but the amount of stuff that I owned that I had invested virtually no time or energy in. Piles of unplayed video games, some still in shrink wrap. Mountains of nearly-new paperbacks, many with just some sunlight exposure, most of them unread or barely-started. Piles of CDs listened to maybe once or twice. Multiple sets of golf clubs – and piles of golf balls. A large trading card collection and a large vintage baseball card collection, neither of which had been touched in years. A closet full of nearly-new clothes. Pieces of computer hardware uninstalled.
Simply put, there were tons of things that I had purchased and barely used. Why? I had so many things that I could be using that I didn't have nearly enough time for them all.
Obviously, my situation is a bit extreme, but over the last few years, I've been repeatedly shocked to find how many of my friends and family members have done similar things on a much smaller scale. Unused exercise equipment. Unused DVDs. Barely-worn clothes jammed in the back of an overstuffed closet. Video game consoles played for about five hours and then stuck into a closet. One friend had a never-used Dyson vacuum cleaner in the closet that had been sitting there for more than a year.
These experiences reveal several very vital personal finance mistakes.
First, I used shopping as a substitute for actual entertainment and other experiences. Instead of enjoying the things I already had, I devoted time and energy into the acquisition of more things. A much more worthwhile use of that energy would have simply been directed towards enjoying the already-acquired items.
Second, those purchased items, left unused, are an incredible waste of an investment. As soon as most of the items were purchased, they became much less valuable, passing from "new" to "used" in terms of resale value. They then sat around for a long time, doing nothing more than taking up space, not even repaying some of their value in terms of the entertainment or joy they could provide. Even if I had just mindlessly bought a new game when I defeated the previous one or bought a new book when I finished the one I was on or bought a new CD when I had listened to the one I previously purchased a few times or bought a new DVD when I watched the last one I bought, I would have been in much better financial shape. This doesn't even touch on the fact that I would have been even better off wisely using rental strategies and other techniques to still get all the enjoyment I would ever want with even less financial investment.
Finally, the clutter of unused stuff takes up time, space, and energy. How do you keep 500 DVDs organized? It's much, much easier to keep ten organized. It takes less time and space. It takes less maintenance to dust them and keep them clean and presentable. The same is true for everything else in your home. The more you have of something, the more time it takes to maintain it – and the more it costs to maintain it, too.
What can you do to avoid this trap?
The first step is to get your shopping habits under control. Eliminate the purchases you're making that don't directly address needs. If you're buying something that you're not going to go home and use immediately, reconsider the purchase. Consider instituting a "one in, one out" policy for your non-essential items. In other words, if you buy something new, you have to swap out or sell something old to make room for it.
The second step is to seek out less expensive sources for the things that you do actually buy that fulfill needs and direct wants. If you're a movie fanatic that buys four DVDs a week, subscribe to Netflix instead. If you're an avid reader, hit the library to get your new release fix. If you're a gamer, join GameFly. If you like music, use services like Pandora. Join community groups that focus on your particular hobby. Look for online groups that seek out bargains in your area of interest.
The next step? Thoroughly use items you acquire before you move on to another one. If you pick up a book, read it (or at least give it a fair shot) before getting another one. Even better, get rid of the items that you won't pick up again. Make your collections consist of the ones that you truly love and intend to revisit with some frequency in the future.
Doing this for the things you accumulate will make a tremendous difference in your financial state as well as the space, time, and energy you have to devote solely to maintain your stuff.

Dec. 21 is the winter solstice, but there's plenty to do with the nine hours and 32 minutes of sunlight, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
There are bonfires on Ocean Beach, a night hike in the Presidio, and a ritual walk around Mount Tamalpais on Sunday, the newspaper reported.
Sunrise today was at 7:21 a.m. and sunset will come at 4:54 p.m. Saturday will be three seconds longer. A gang of possibly pagan folks gathered on Ocean Beach in San Francisco at the end of the L-Taraval line to celebrate the longest night of the year.
At Muir Woods, the National Park Service will welcome celebrants among the oldest and tallest trees in the area. Beginning at noon, people can walk in the woods, listen to stories and watch birds, and enjoy a bonfire, the newspaper reported.
Weather is expected to be wet and cold.
On Sunday, the difficult hike around Mount Tamalpais begins at 8 a.m. It's an 18-mile trek but includes 10 stops. It's open to anyone, as is any solstice fete.

A person who has a debt to someone is known as the debtor, and the person to whom the debtor owes the money is called the creditor.
To enable a debt to be collected it must be determined. This means that there must be a decision that says that there is a debt. The decision can be made by the enforcement service through a so-called payment order or by a district court through a judgment.
The enforcement service can also assist in collecting debts. If the debtor does not pay her/his debt, the enforcement officer will investigate whether the debtor has any property to attach. Attachment means that the enforcement officer takes money or things for payment of the claim that the creditor has. The attachment of pay is one way of effecting collection, another way is to attach personal property (for example bank assets) or real property (for example cars or properties).
Attachment of pay is the compulsory means that the enforcement officer most often uses when a debt has to be paid. The enforcement officer then orders the debtor's employer to retain a certain part of her or his pay. This money is sent by the employer to the enforcement officer, who thereafter reports this amount to the creditor.
A decision for the attachment of pay basically applies indefinitely. The enforcement service may under certain circumstances grant respite at the request of either of the parties.

Wonder what you would find if you frisked then-Senator Obama's appearance on Ellen DeGeneres' daytime talk show in February 2008?
Answer: He used the exact same argument that Judge Robert Vinson used to overturn Obama's health care overhaul legislation.
Clearly President Obama doesn't believe his signature health care legislation is constitutional:
She's have the government force every individual to buy insurance, and I don't have such a mandate because I don't think the problem is that people don't want health insurance. It's that they can't afford it …
Well, if things were that easy, I could mandate everybody buy a house, and that, you know, and that would solve, you know, the problem of homelessness. It doesn't.
Also, then-Senator Obama made the same argument on CNN:
OBAMA: Let's break down what she really means by a mandate. What's meant by a mandate is that the government is forcing people to buy health insurance and so she's suggesting a parent is not going to buy health insurance for themselves if they can afford it. Now, my belief is that most parents will choose to get health care for themselves and we make it affordable.
Here's the concern. If you haven't made it affordable, how are you going to enforce a mandate. I mean, if a mandate was the solution, we can try that to solve homelessness by mandating everybody to buy a house. The reason they don't buy a house is they don't have the money. And so, our focus has been on reducing costs, making it available. I am confident if people have a chance to buy high-quality health care that is affordable, they will do so. That's what our plan does and nobody disputes that.
Here is Judge Robert Vinson's reference to Obama's argument in his opinion overturning Obamacare:
The problem with this legal rationale, however, is it would essentially have unlimited application. There is quite literally no decision that, in the natural course of events, does not have an economic impact of some sort. The decisions of whether and when (or not) to buy a house, a car, a television, a dinner, or even a morning cup of coffee also have a financial impact that — when aggregated with similar economic decisions — affect the price of that particular product or service and have a substantial effect on interstate commerce. To be sure, it is not difficult to identify an economic decision that has a cumulatively substantial effect on interstate commerce; rather, the difficult task is to find a decision that does not.
It is clear this president only cares about his own far-left agenda and does not care about our US Constitution. Some Constitutional scholar he is… Pff.

Boughton builds eastern pipeline with campaign hires
Danbury mayor recruits gubernatorial campaign support beyond region
DANBURY -- Mark Boughton is constructing a pipeline to the east.
The longest-serving mayor of Danbury is using it to build out the critical infrastructure of his campaign for governor and to try to broaden his base of support well beyond western Connecticut.
Will it bring him votes?
It's presently churning out young and hungry political operatives who are staffing the controls of Boughton's latest statewide campaign -- but not his Twitter account.
"Part of the mayor's brand is ..." Heath Fahle, Boughton's campaign manager, started to say during a lunchtime confab with his boss across the street from the mayor's City Hall office.
Before Fahle could finish getting the words out, Christopher Oliveira, the campaign's lawyer and compliance guru, completed the train of thought.
"Authenticity," said Oliveira, 43, a former family court magistrate from Old Lyme who was appointed by ex-Gov. M. Jodi Rell to the bench. "He genuinely understands technology. He's better at it than I am."
Boughton, 50, or "Big Poppa" as his 14,300 Twitter followers know him, has assembled a roster of paid surrogates with conservative moorings and a common thread between them during his second shot at the state's highest office. Each one resides in the delegate-rich and up-for-grabs 2nd Congressional District in eastern Connecticut, which is also home to Boughton's running mate, Heather Bond Somers, the former Groton mayor and a town councilor.
More InformationName: Heath Fahle
Age: 31
Hometown: East Hampton
Position: campaign manager
Previous: Yankee Institute deputy director; executive director of the Connecticut Republicans; aide to former Congressman Rob Simmons, R-Conn.
Name: John Kleinhans
Age 24:
Hometown: Vernon
Position: political director
Previous: campaign manager for 2012 GOP candidate Paul Formica in the 2nd Congressional District; national field organizer for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC); executive director of the Connecticut Republican Leadership Coalition
Name: Christopher Oliveira
Age: 43
Hometown: Old Lyme
Position: campaign attorney
Previous: family court magistrate appointed by former Gov. M. Jodi Rell
In addition to volunteers, Boughton is supplementing his campaign operation with big-name media consultants whose previous clients include Mitt Romney, New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez and Libertarian hero Ron Paul.
"Nobody's getting rich in the room here," Boughton told Hearst Connecticut Media. "The amount of time that they donate and volunteer is absolutely incredible. It's an honor to see so many people working so hard."
Should he qualify for public funding under the state's so-called clean elections program, Boughton said he expects to spend the bulk of his $1.25 million pre-primary grant on television and radio ads, as well as direct mail.
Boughton signed a contract with Washington-based FP1 Strategies to be his campaign's media consultant after interviewing several firms while visiting the Beltway last December. One of the firm's founding partners is Jon Downs, who was named by Politico as one of its top 10 political operatives to watch. Downs was the mastermind behind a series of blistering and highly effective attack ads commissioned by Paul against Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum during the 2012 presidential race.
Downs did not respond to a message seeking comment about his role in Boughton's campaign.
Boughton said he hit it off with the firm's partners right away.
"I think they're edgy," Boughton said. "I think if we're going to break from the pack here, we're going to need some media that gets people talking."
Boughton is planning to ramp up his media activity a few weeks after the state GOP convention, which will be held May 16-17.
The third member of Boughton's inner triumvirate is John Kleinhans, the campaign's political director and the mayor's sidekick on an odyssey that has taken them from Danbury to the Rhode Island border and back as part of an election year calendar filled with Lincoln Day dinners and Republican Town Committee meetings.
"I've worked with candidates who need buffers, but the mayor is real good with people," said Kleinhans, who looks the part of a former College Republican with a navy blue blazer and V-neck sweater.
All three paid operatives commute more than an hour each way to Boughton's Danbury campaign headquarters, a first-floor suite in a converted Victorian on Deer Hill Avenue that rents for $750 a month.
Fahle, 31, is from East Hampton. Across the Connecticut River from Middletown, it is the unofficial gateway to the 2nd District, which does not have an entrant in the governor's race but will count for 27 percent of the delegates at the party's convention.
"So the 2nd District is native territory to us in a lot of ways," said Fahle, a former executive director of the Connecticut Republican Party and one-time aide to former U.S. Rep. Rob Simmons, R-Conn.
In March, the University of Connecticut graduate left his position as the deputy director of the Yankee Institute, an East Hartford-based think tank that espouses free market and limited government principles, to devote his full attention to his political consulting business, Revolutionary Strategies.
Kleinhans, 24, who comes from a political family in Vernon and managed the unsuccessful 2012 congressional campaign of Republican Paul Formica in the 2nd District, is employed by the same firm.
Boughton, the firm's marquee client, pays Revolutionary Strategies $7,000 a month for the services of Fahle and Kleinhans. He characterized the salaries of his staffers, which will become public later this month, as competitive with the market.
By comparison, when Gov. Dannel P. Malloy was elected to his first term in 2010, he paid $10,000 a month to Global Strategy Group, where Malloy's campaign architect, Roy Occhiogrosso, is managing director. The monthly fee rose to $12,000 a month after the Democratic primary.
Candidates participating in Connecticut's publicly financed election program such as Boughton and Malloy, who is seeking a second term, cannot spend more than $250,000 before their party's convention. So, a win bonus clause is often inserted into the contracts of campaign managers and consultants.
"We think if we execute our plan, we'll be the nominee," Boughton said.
The rival campaign of Tom Foley, who was paired with Boughton atop the GOP ticket in a shotgun marriage in 2010, employs five paid staffers and is leasing office space in Southington.
State Sen. Minority Leader John McKinney, R-Fairfield, has one full-time staffer and a fundraising consultant working on his gubernatorial campaign, but is not leasing office space.
By setting up his campaign headquarters across the street from City Hall, Boughton said he can conveniently cut out at lunchtime to make phone calls to delegates and contributors without interfering with his day job.
"We want to be very clear that there's a separation," Boughton said. "My job as mayor takes precedence over everything."
The walls of Boughton's nerve center are barren, except for a black-and-white map of Connecticut. A local hypnotist occupies an office upstairs. On the floor above that, there's a Reiki healing center. A college dorm-style mini refrigerator is filled with cans of Pepsi and plastered with GOP bumper stickers, including with the name of the younger John Sununu, the former New Hampshire senator. The space has a working fireplace. It could use a couch.
"We've got one volunteer that sleeps in here sometimes," Boughton said.
The space feels anything but lived in, however.
"I have not been home in three weeks," said Boughton, who watched the UConn men's and women's basketball teams progress to the national championships at various pubs around the state, following campaign stops.
Boughton's inner circle is occasionally breached by an uninvited guest -- a campaign tracker employed by the Connecticut Democrats.
"He tapes the mayor and then he leaves," Kleinhans said.
To work for Boughton, you've got to have a sense of humor, even when it comes to trackers.
"I try to tip him off there's nothing big going on here," Boughton said.

"We are seeking a political revolution simply through
political means. By doing politics which is what we are doing,
and which is what the government is trying to prevent us from
doing. So if a revolution breaks out, it will not be of our
doing. It will be because the government has more or less
blocked all other paths to political change."
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi
Burma Watch International recommends:
BurmaNet News
Democractic Voice of Burma
Mizzima News
The Irrawaddy
The agenda will be provided at the meeting. It will include a financial report and the
election of executives
A notice for an AGM to be held on March 20, 2010 at the International Centre, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB
was sent out by Ma Kaythi Mon (Secretary of BWI) on March 9, 2010. But that meeting had to be cancelled when it was
discovered that there had been a miscommunication about the booking of the International Centre and it was unavailable.
Members will be contacted again as soon as we have a venue and time which works for the majority of people confirmed.
Here is the text of the interactive dialogue with the Special Rapporteur on Myanmar.
"We urge the government of Burma to continue to engage with the Special Rapporteur,
particularly on the four core human rights elements identified by him, namely: the release
of all prisoners of conscience; review and reform of specific national legislation, in
compliance with international human rights standards; reform of the judiciary to assure
independence and impartiality; and specific measures by the military and police including
respecting international human rights and humanitarian law and establishing a permanent and
meaningful training programme on human rights."
"In the interests of an election that supports a genuine democratic process, based on
principles of transparency, fairness and inclusion we call upon the Burmese regime to free all
political prisoners, including Aung San Suu Kyi, and to engage in a genuine dialogue with members
of the democratic opposition and different ethnic groups in Burma."
"The Special Rapporteur has noted the launch of the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human rights."
"It is unfortunate that the Burmese regime did not seize the opportunity of the Special
Rapporteur's visit to ensure that the electoral laws they were planning to pass would meet international standards."
In the Question and Answer period of the 3rd session of the 40th Canadian Parliament, the
Hon. Bev Oda (Minister of International Cooperation, CPC) announced the renewal of the program
in the following Q & A exchange.
Q: Mr. Rodney Weston (Saint John, CPC)
"Mr. Speaker, human rights in Burma have long been a cause for concern for the international
community, and that is putting it lightly. The military regime in Burma is by far one of the worst
and most repressive regimes in the world. Unfortunately, even if Burmese citizens are successful
in escaping the terror, many still face starvation and disease in the refugee camps of bordering nations."
"Could the Minister of International Cooperation update the House on what our government
is doing to help the refugees and migrants fleeing the Burmese regime?"
A: Hon. Bev Oda (Minster of International Cooperation, CPC)
"Mr. Speaker, yes, it is true that there is a tragedy happening in Burma and the Burmese
continue to suffer. We have been supporting the Burmese border area program and it has achieved
success by providing service to Burmese people. One million cases of malaria have been treated,
145,000 refugees are receiving service and over 500,000 people have received health care."
"That is why I am pleased today to announce a renewal of the Burmese border area program
by increasing the amount to under $16 million."
(No. 102 - March 11, 2010 - 6:30 p.m. ET) The Honourable Lawrence Cannon, Minister of Foreign Affairs,
today issued the following statement
expressing Canada's concern about the new electoral laws promulgated by the Burmese regime:
"Canada is deeply concerned by the new election laws unveiled by the Burmese regime this week.
While Canada continues to study the new laws carefully as they are promulgated, what we have seen to
date suggests that the Burmese regime is resolutely failing to deliver on its promise of free and fair
elections this year."
"Notably, elements of the laws point to a deliberate effort by Burmese military leaders to prevent
legitimate democratic actors from participating in the promised elections. Reports suggest that the new
laws may bar Aung San Suu Kyi and other political prisoners from the democratic process by virtue of
their current prison sentences, which Canada believes are unwarranted and politically motivated."
"Canada urges the Burmese regime to move forward with electoral laws that support a genuine
democratic process, based on principles of transparency, fairness and inclusion."
"Canada again calls upon the regime to free all political prisoners, including Aung San Suu Kyi,
and to engage in a genuine dialogue with members of the democratic opposition and different ethnic
groups in Burma."
The 3rd Burma Forum Canada was successfully held from March 6 to 7, 2010 in Saskatoon, Canada.
More than 50 Burmese organizational representatives including ethnic nationalities across Canada and
representatives from National Coalition Government of Union of Burma (NCGUB), the Burmese government
in exile, Ethnic Nationalities Council (ENC) and Euro-Burma Office (EBO) participated. A wide range
of Burma-related issues such as international polices towards Burma, analysis on 2010 elections and
possible scenarios, and the role of ethnic nationalities in the political process in Burma were discussed.
The Forum participants unanimously agreed to announce the
Saskatoon Declaration.

Assessment of transboundary waters
The most recent product in the work area of monitoring and assessment is the Second Assessment of Transboundary Rivers, Lakes and Groundwaters which provides a comprehensive overview of the status of transboundary waters in the European and Asian parts of the UNECE region. The Second Assessment was prepared under the Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes (Water Convention) and launched at the Seventh Ministerial Conference "Environment for Europe" (Astana, Kazakhstan, 21-23 September 2011) to which it was one of the key inputs.
The First Assessment of Transboundary Rivers, Lakes and Groundwaters in the UNECE Region was published in 2007 on the occasion of the sixth Ministerial Conference which requested the Meeting of the Parties to the Water Convention to prepare the Second Assessment.
Compared to the first one, the Second Assessment it is broader in ambitions and scope: it has a more holistic approach, integrates surface and groundwaters, highlights legal, institutional and socio-economic aspects and emphasizes cross-cutting themes that are a challenge for transboundary waters, in particular the impacts of and adaptation to climate change. It covers pressure factors, quantity and quality status of waters, transboundary impacts, responses and future trends.
The Second Assessment is based on information provided by the countries of the region through nominated national experts or in some cases by river basin commissions. The Second Assessment seeks to inform, guide and stimulate further action by Governments, river basin organizations, the international community, including donors, and relevant non-governmental organizations.
The Second Assessment was prepared by sub-regions and a key step in its preparation was a series of sub-regional workshops on transboundary management of water resources where the participants worked together to form an accurate picture of all transboundary waters. The sub-regional workshops — listed below — allowed for the sharing of good practices and the identification of bottlenecks and challenges as well as future options for each sub-region.
- Workshop on Western and Central Europe, 8-10 February 2011 in Budapest, Hungary
- Workshop on Central Asia, 13-15 October 2010 in Almaty, Kazakhstan
- Workshop on Eastern and Northern Europe, 27-29 April 2010 in Kiev, Ukraine
- Workshop on the Caucasus, 8-10 December 2009 in Tbilisi, Georgia
- Workshop on South-Eastern Europe, 18-20 May 2009 in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
