The euro fell to a seven-week low against the dollar on Monday after news of Dominique Strauss-Kahn's detention in New York and stock markets in Europe opened down, with London slipping 0.4pc and German and French bourses falling sharply.
The former French finance minister had been a key ally for the European Union as Greece, Ireland and Portugal all sought billion pound bail-outs to pay their debts.
Europe's finance ministers are due to meet in Brussels on Monday to hammer out the final details of a €78bn (£69bn) IMF-backed bail-out for Portugal and discuss further funding for Greece.
Mr Strauss-Kahn had been due to brief German chancellor, Angela Merkel, on Sunday on the IMF's position as well as attend meetings in Brussels.
Economists said Mr Strauss-Kahn's absence could not have come at a more sensitive time. Concerns are growing that Greece will fail to hit IMF imposed targets to qualify for June's €3.3bn payment from last year's original €110bn bail-out. Simon Ward, chief economist at fund manager Hen-derson, said: "I would think that the Portuguese bail-out is pretty much locked down, but the question of additional support for Greece remains. This will complicate negotiations and I would expect the markets to react negatively."
Mr Ward said Mr Strauss-Kahn, who has denied the sexual assault charges, had been "crucial" in securing US-backed funding of the rescue deals. "He has steam-rollered any opposition to the European bail-outs and has been a crucial figure," said Mr Ward.
"A person a bit less suppor-tive of the eurozone and we could potentially have already seen a default in one of those struggling economies."
US economist Nouriel Roubini said he had expected Mr Strauss-Kahn to back a rescheduling of interest payments on Greek debts rather than any further cash bail-out.
The IMF, which extended almost $92bn (£57bn) in emergency loans last year, said it remained "fully functioning and operational" following the arrest of its chairman. John Lipsky, the IMF's first deputy managing director is its acting head. Mr Lipsky, who announced last Thursday that he would step down in August, on Sunday held an emergency board meeting in Washington.
The IMF has already come under pressure from the US Congress to be tougher on European debts. Mr Ward said the arrest could "open the door" to those wanting the IMF to rein in its lending.
The fund has found its ability to offer cash in return for structural reforms, debt rest-ructuring and currency depreciation has been limited in Europe given the EU control of debts and the single currency.
Mr Strauss-Kahn was due to stand down next year. Traditionally, a European leads the IMF, with the US taking the lead at the World Bank. David Cameron has said the IMF should look outside Europe for its new leader, given the growth of India and China.
Separately, Italian central bank governor Mario Draghi is on Monday expected to be approved as the next president of the European Central Bank.

America's eaters and farmers deserve a Farm Bill that addresses our many food-related environmental crises, from climate change to soil erosion and pollinator decline.
In addition to destroying endangered species' habitats and driving deforestation contributing to climate change, palm oil companies are responsible for land grabbing and gross violations of local communities' human rights.
Scandals have plagued EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt since he first took office in 2017. From first class travel to huge raises for his closest aides, Pruitt has abused his position and wasted our tax dollars enriching himself, his family and his friends.
As head of a top government agency, Pruitt should be using our taxes responsibly to help protect the environment. Instead, he's using them to do his dirty laundry. LITERALLY.
It fails to transfer to the new institution OPIC's existing environmental, social, climate, transparency, worker rights, human rights, indigenous peoples, gender, anti-corruption and accountability policies — putting communities, the environment and the U.S. government at risk.
The threat posed by heavy fuel oil in the Arctic is substantial. In fragile, ice-covered marine environments, use of this fuel by ships is a disaster waiting to happen.
BlackRock knows it has a climate problem, as this 2016 report demonstrates. And, for starters there are a number of reasonably easy things BlackRock can do to begin phasing out climate destruction from its portfolios.
Because of its promise for rural America, organic agriculture has growing support from both Democrats and Republicans in Congress. So why is there language in the Farm Bill that would weaken the organic standards?
There are currently 15 federal investigations reviewing his conduct in office, including one where the Government Accountability Office decisively concluded that his actions violated two U.S. laws.
Voicing opposition to the Phillips 66 oil tanker onslaught in SF Bay is a logical extension to opposing the greed of the Trump-Zinke plan to pursue new offshore oil drilling in federal waters off the California coast.

The following reports were provided by Investigator Robert Meddleton of Binghamton's New York State University Police.
Fraud from the Philippines
FRIDAY, April 5, 3:24 p.m. — A 22-year-old male contacted UPD to report an incident of attempted fraud. He told officers that around 2 p.m. he noticed he had a friend request from a female on Facebook. He shared two mutual friends with the female and accepted her request. Soon after, she sent him provocative messages via Facebook Messenger. He did not respond to the messages, but accepted a video call from her. The call showed a woman undressing, and the male hung up immediately. Later, he received a second video call featuring his face spliced onto a male body that was performing a sexual act. The female instructed him to go to the nearest Western Union and wire her $2,000. She said if he didn't, the video would be shared on YouTube and Facebook. The male spoke with a man on the phone that confirmed what the female said. After his phone call with the man, he reported the incident to UPD. Officers looked up the phone number, which originated from the Philippines, helped the student report the account and images and directed him to online resources on how to deal with fraud.
Beer, vodka, marijuana
SATURDAY, April 6, 1:42 a.m. — An officer responded to Rafuse Hall of Dickinson Community after receiving a call about an intoxicated male. An 18-year-old male was found on the third floor of the building going in and out of consciousness. The officer spoke to the male's friend, who was also intoxicated, and learned that the male went to a house party where he consumed a large amount of beer and vodka. The male had also smoked some marijuana. The male refused medical treatment.
Almost hit
SATURDAY, April 6, 12:54 p.m. — Officers responded to Rafuse Hall of Dickinson Community to meet with a 20-year-old male who reported that a vehicle had almost hit him while he was crossing East Access Road. He said he was halfway across the street when a black Toyota Tundra drove through the crosswalk, forcing the male to spin out of the way. He was not hurt. Officers reviewed video footage, which captured the incident, and tracked down the vehicle's owner, who said she had lent her truck to her sister, a 19-year-old female. Officers contacted the female, who said she had not seen the victim until he spun out of the way. She accepted a traffic ticket and is due to appear in Vestal Town Court.
Bad cookies
SUNDAY, April 7, 1:23 a.m. — Officers responded to a medical call involving an individual having issues with marijuana cookies. The individual, who was approved to use and purchase marijuana for medical reasons, told the officers who supplied the cookies. When the officers confronted the suspects, a 19-year-old male and an 18-year-old male, they admitted to selling the cookies and told the officers that there were two remaining containers of cookies in the fridge. Officers searched the suspects' rooms and found two forged IDs, a black box containing a vaporizer and three bottles of THC oil, all of which were confiscated. The suspect who made the cookies was arrested and is due to appear in Vestal Town Court.

The Ashes According to Bumble
Bumble is back! The funny, forthright and not infrequently filthy author of best-seller Start the Car and star of Sky Sports returns with a new collection of yarns from his years at the crease and at the microphone. It's the book that Bumble's many fans have been longing for.
After three long years, Bumble is finally back! The outspoken author of best-seller Start the Car returns with a whole new cricket bag full of yarns from his years on the pitch and in the commentary box.
Expect more tales of Bumble's time rubbing shoulders (and chinking glasses) with the great (as well as not so great) and good (as well as bloody awful) of cricket.
Released alongside England's home Ashes series, there will be more than a few stories of Bumble's encounters with the Aussies over the years, but that's not to say this will be any less rambling, madcap and downright fun than we've come to expect, and hope for, from the great David 'Bumble' Lloyd.
"The best cricket book of the year…laugh out loud funny" (Daily Mail)
"Revealing" (The Guardian)
"A paean to cricket and pubs and laddishness and gentle grumpiness" (The Independent)
"For comedy genius, David Lloyd takes the (half) biscuit" (Times Online)
"In this book Lloyd revels in the quirkier and humorous side of cricket, while offering behind-the-scenes action of his years spent following cricket round the globe" (Nottingham Post)

How are you these days?
Hey man whats up! yeah PSP is a great device. i dont think you can stream films from PS3 to PSP, i think you have to save films you've downloaded onto the PSP memory card. so if your planning to use it for films then a large memory card is probabily a must buy. i've got about 3 games on it, but i use it for music on the train as well. and i've spent about 200 hours on Tactics Ogre, so the device just rocks - i can watch tv and play at the same time. oh and Darks Souls looks awesome by the way!!
So, if i move the data from PS3 Pat to Slim, all the data in PHAT will be gone?

Political Islam: Conceptualising power between 'Islamic states' and Muslim social movements
The Muslim, and especially the Arab, world has, since the 2011 Middle East and North Africa (MENA) uprisings, experienced a series of tumultuous events. These events are likely to leave an indelible mark on the pages of Islamic, Middle Eastern, and world history. The massive changes in the region began with the initial uprisings in 2011 that led to the downfall of 'presidents for life' in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya and Yemen, and included the rise of the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria. The group aims to undo the post-Ottoman architecture of the MENA region, as determined by the Sykes-Picot agreement and the post-Berlin Conference scramble for Africa. These developments over the past four years have resulted in the MENA region, and the Muslim world more generally, experiencing a profound conceptual rethinking, including a re-evaluation of notions of global ethics, citizenship and democracy, capitalism and economic development, imperialism, and liberation.
At the heart of much of this rethinking (and the attempts to prevent any rethinking) have been various models of political Islam. The phenomenon has also been central to the continuing unfolding of events in the region and despite setbacks in certain respects – such as the coup in Egypt, Political Islam will continue to be influential in any reshaping of the MENA region, affecting developments not only in those countries and among those actors that blatantly experienced or participated in the 2011 uprisings, but also others, such as the those involved in the Palestinian struggle. Not understanding of the region is, thus, sufficient without an understanding of Political Islam in general as well as the way in which it plays itself out in different national (or transnational) contexts.
In light of these developments and the role of Islamists within them, the Afro-Middle East Centre (AMEC) will host a diverse group of scholars to deliberate and debate some of these profound changes, with Political Islam as the central focus. However, departing from the usual tendency of conceptualising 'Political Islam' as a phenomenon that describes Islamic ideological groups that are better understood as social movements or political groups in opposition to the status quo, the conference will discuss Political Islam as a label that covers various forms of Islamic legitimation of state power or political action. It will, thus, not only discuss the paradigmatic Muslim political actors such as the Muslim Brotherhood and groups linked to it organisationally or ideologically, but also the ways in which ruling regimes such as those in Saudi Arabia, Iran and other countries, or proto-regimes such as the Islamic State group, mobilise Islam for their political thought and action. The conference will examine how various Muslim political actors understand their relationship to the issue of political power, and how they use Islam to legitimate this relationship.
Beginning by engaging some of the broad theoretical and historical issues that relate to discussions on Political Islam, the conference will also include discussions focused on specific political regimes or groups and their positioning on various themes such as social work, democratic bargaining, and rationales for armed struggle. It will include a discussion on (anti-apartheid) Political Islam in South Africa, and locate that phenomenon within the broader context of Political Islam globally.
The conference will result in the publication of a volume consisting of papers presented, and it is expected that both the conference and the resulting book will contribute to and initiate a series of discussions on the future of Political Islam in its varied manifestations.

Although nothing compares to actively seeking change in the community, real-time exposure to important issues is the first way many individuals learn of social injustices across the world. With more than 250 million active users, Twitter and Tumblr have grown to become leaders of instant news. Information travels as fast as a user can type 140 characters and can grow into a trending topic in minutes. Recently, hashtags have evolved from funny quips about celebrities and sports teams to links for activists around the globe. Check out these hashtags for inspiration.
#BringBackOurGirls: On April 15, 2014, 234 girls were kidnapped from their school by an extremist terrorist group known as Boko Haram, which translates to "Western education is a sin." According to Topsy.com, a the first mention of #BringBackOurGirls was by Ibrahim M. Abdullahi, a management partner from Nigeria. It took eight days for the Internet to catch on. Since then, the hashtag has included nearly 700,000 tweets, including Michelle Obama.
BringBackOurGirls @gbengasesan
Make no mistake about this. #BringBackOurGirls isn't just a hashtag campaign that'll fade soon. It's an untiring demand for good governance.
BringBackOurGirls @BBOG_Nigeria
They said there are 20,000 soilders in Borno but we cannot find them in chibok, where are they #bringbackourgirls
jude abaga @MI_Abaga
When it was convenient and trendy we were all on this. But they are still not home. #bringbackourgirls
#YesAllWomen: The "Yes All Women" campaign was created after the tragedy at the University of California at Santa Barbara that left two women and four men fatally wounded. Since May 24, the hashtag was tweeted more than 2 million times. The trending topic brought awareness to the injustices that women face, and a wave of supporters for women's rights was born.
kim janes @kimhbu
YesAllWomen because even though "no" was one of the first words you learnt you still don't know what it means.
Katie Dreaper @katiedreaper
As a human I have the right to feel safe & not fear for my life if my BF, father or brother arent around to "protect" me #WaPo #YesAllWomen
Emma Jepsen @_moje_
YesAllWomen because "no" does not mean "convince me"
#WeNeedDiverseBooks: We Need Diverse Books is an organization formed to promote diversity within the literary community. When BEA BookCon announced its panel of all-white, all-male authors as the leaders in children's literature, writers and readers alike called for diversity within reading selections. The campaign has support from authors such as Terry McMillan and Ellen Oh, and young-adult authors Maureen Johnson and John Green.
There's a social-media campaign going on right now to spread the word on why we need more diversity in our books. It's really fantastic and inspiring and I am so proud to be a part of it...
As a writer and a mom, this campaign is also deeply personal for me. My daughter is 1/2 Korean and 1/2 Jamaican. She loooooves books. I think she might love books more than she loves anything else (including mama!). One day she'll be able to read them on her own and I want her to be able to find herself in them. I want her to know that girls that look like her can be anyone, can do anything.
We need diverse books because this is my family.

Individual SportsTop 12 Ice Skating Movies Of All Time!
Frequently people dread doing some exercise but do not consider that any other action that makes you break a little sweat can boost your body's overall energy expenditure for daily. Do not attempt to break. Double-runner skates can be found, which go over a child's shoe, and also therefore are fantastic alternatives for young children on bobbies (as shown in photo above). They are great at keeping kids warm, but they can be somewhat difficult getting into and from, which may complicate the several times per day that young kids suddenly feel the need to visit the restroom! Judging from your photograph (if that's you) you're young enough to give it a try. Skates meant for more advanced skaters are usually sold without blades, as advanced skaters in almost any ice game want to select their blades and have them professionally mounted on their skate boots. This necessitates specific individualized choices in boots and blades and encompasses a wider range of skills involving unmarried leaps, twists and additional footwork. Inside specialist speed skating you will see pairs between competitors on the ice.
This week I packed my skates and gear in the Zuca bag and began hauling it around to clinics.
Even the Professional Skater's Association admits Riedell Skates since the sole supported boot maker in the business. The boot consists of much more durable materials then it is predcestors. Some cities near the North American city can stop picnic. The strategy has always been to eventually enlarge City Christian School. This week I packed my skates and gear in the Zuca bag and began hauling it around to clinics. The most important protective equipment is helmet. 039;t even consider play with it or used skates. 039;t. From time to time, kids would want to get together and call her final minute, and you know what happens after too many "I am busy tonight" – kids stop calling.
Last but not least, purchasing equipment from your local ice rink supports the smaller company. For trucks the ice is recommended to be from 14 to 16 inches thick based on a Wikipedia link. We'll create your ice skating birthday celebration go as smoothly as skating on ice. This is also the time you are able to consider calling the Skate Oakville Office to assist in locating a trainer that will match your schedule and skating needs. When you use double blades she might have to learn to balance on regular skates, and it will slow her progress. NEVER set the skate guards back to the blades while still transporting/storing your own skates. Many players believe you need to SKATE HARD, all the time. Perfect practice makes perfect, or near it so do not think you're wasting time with passing exercises. Consider receiving a pass – would you want it to come rebounding on border? I skated for a long time and was not able to do the turn forward from a back outside edge. Are we going to flip over?

About Us
: Crib (62)
Pinwheels Crib Quilt: Circa 1910;Pennsylvania
I am taking the liberty of naming this unusual pattern as Feathered Pinwheels. The four blocks in the center are a traditional Pinwheel but the addition of triangles around it create something new. Placement of the triangles creates an overall diamond pattern in addition. The quilt is made of a small white on blue print. It is very nicely quilted with feathers throughout. It has been professionally laundered and is in excellent condition. Measurements are 32" x 34". Pennsylvania origin; circa...

Nine Patch Crib Quilt: Circa 1870
This Nine Patch crib quilt is delicate in every way. It has lovely, soft colors. The center of each Nine Patch block has the same oval wreath of flowers. The sashing is a lacey printed design. It is folded in half to create the border. The crib is machine quilted. The fabrics are strong and in excellent condition. Measurements are 28 1/2" x 34". Probably New England origin; circa 1870's.
Nine Patch Crib Quilt: Circa 1880's; Pennsylvania
This Nine Patch crib quilt is simultaneously crude and sophisticated. It is a basic pattern made with an unusual color palette. The consistently white centers surrounded by irregular placement of calico gives it a nice, irregular twinkle. Measurements are 31 1/2" x 38 1/2". Pennsylvania origin; circa 1880's. Slight fraying to the binding in some places but no other condition issues. The backing is cotton muslin.
Mariner's Compass Crib Quilt: Circa 1880; Pennsylvania
This stunning Mariner's Compass crib quilt is unlike any other I've seen in terms of color palette as well as design. The central Compass is framed with quarter Compasses and a triangle border. Quilting follows the pieced blocks. The quilt is from the Ausherman Family of Waynesboro, Pennsylvania ( Franklin County). It is professionally mounted on a stretcher that is wired to be hung either horizontally or vertically. The green is more vibrant than appears on my monitor. If you would like to...

Nine Patch Crib Quilt: Circa 1880; Pennsylvania
This classic Nine Patch crib quilt was made with a well balanced group of fabrics. The top row of similar tones was probably made to indicate the end used for the head. The quilt is in excellent, unwashed condition.It was made circa 1880; York County, Pennsylvania. The backing is a Bars pattern. Measurements are 40" x 49".
Nine Patch Crib Quilt: Pennsylvania; Circa 1880
This Nine Patch crib quilt is as crisp as the day it was made some 135 years ago. It is in pristine, unwashed condition. The fabrics are a nice combination of calico prints with an especially unusual material for the border. The two lighter blocks may have been made to indicate that side for the head. One of the squares in the lower right corner is especially dear as it is made of two different fabrics - not quite enough to go around. The backing is a Bars pattern with the same brown print as...

Nine Patch Crib Quilt: Circa 1880; Pennsylvania
This charming crib quilt is made with Nine Patch blocks that abut one another creating a Bars pattern. Between the rows of Nine Patches are four rows of fabric; three of which are different aspects of the same print. The quilt is in very good condition. The fabrics are all strong and intact. There is some very slight discoloration on the pink calico border. Measurements are 40" x 45 1/2". Oley, Pennsylvania (Berks County) origin; circa 1880.
Thousand Pyramids Crib Quilt: Circa 1880; Pennsylvania
This wonderful Thousand Pyramids crib quilt is made with a rich variety of late 19th century printed fabrics. The maker continued the pattern theme with larger triangles for the inner border. As if she hadn't pieced enough, she continued with a One Patch pattern for the reverse. The quilt is in mint, unwashed condition. Measurements are 47 1/2" square. Pennsylvania origin; circa 1880.
Pinwheels Crib Quilt: Circa 1880; Pennsylvania
This Pinwheels crib quilt is set up in such a way that it creates an additional pattern of Streak of Lightning with the sashing. It is made with a very Pennsylvania combination of calico fabrics. The sawtooth border is a nice follow through of the triangle theme of the interior of the quilt. There are several very light spots of some color loss on the peach fabric that are visible with close examination but they are very minor. The back is made of different fabrics than the front that are pieced...

Star of Bethlehem Crib Quilt: Circa 1870; Pennsylvania

Whirlwind Tour of SoCal Digital Media & Tech (Part 1 of 4)
OK, there's no way for me to hit all interesting SoCal companies in four posts…or even twenty, but this short series is my basic overview of the world the way I see it from my PivotPoint desk. Think in terms of this famous "New Yorkers' View of the World". My blinders are trained on digital media, tech–and increasingly cleantech–between Santa Barbara and San Diego. I'm especially interested in those that are actively growing and hiring new market-facing professionals (sales, marketing, and/or product management). I specifically do not work in aerospace. I keep getting tempted to try biotech…but my total lack of knowledge has thankfully held me back. There is a LOT going on in SoCal; we rank at least top 5 nationally in just about any ranking of tech, media, cleantech, VC, entrepreneurship, or anything that measures how much new business stuff is happening. There are regions, areas, and neighborhoods where businesses cluster. This tour is for the vast majority of us who have spent most of their time head down doing their job well and haven't tried to understand what's going on nearby, 10 miles up the freeway, and 50 miles "over the hill".
The companies that make the cut, in no particular order: a) huge companies that define the region b) huge companies many have never heard of c) notable newer companies d) companies that have accelerated recently e) notable (to me) venture capital firms and lastly f) blatant plugs where friends or I have worked.
Santa Barbara Launch…
We start our high speed tour at the corner of Hollister & Coronado in Goleta at the HQ of Citrix Online—makers of GoToMeeting. This is maybe the best known tech company in the S.B. We continue south on the 101 and very quick pass by our first PivotPoint client, Occam Networks—now known as Calix. Going just a little faster than 65 mph, we get to a block of four: RingRevenue, DFJ Frontier, Rightscale, and Commission Junction. DFJ is the biggest VC in the area; RR and Rightscale are startups aggressively expanding, and CJ powers online advertising as part of Valueclick. Ten minutes further down the road is my first "who knew" company: QAD. Makers of CRM/ERP software…they're over $200M and have been around since the 70's. Lynda.com is a relatively new find for me. Somehow they've found a way to get people to actually pay for stuff online. Novel! After Lynda, we kick the Maserati up to a-buck-fifty so we can get to Camarillo in a few minutes. Here we get our first look at companies that operate more in assembly language than Ruby on Rails. These four semiconductor companies were the high flyers in the 80's…but every business becomes staid eventually. CalAmp is $150M and are now in a wide range of equipment, including routers and modems. Semtech has revenue of $450M this year on huge growth. They make a variety of chip level products, and they must be making them good. Power One and Vitesse are right across the street from one another to delineate the Santa Barbara sub region. Power One has reinvented itself as a cleantech company right under my nose and has made a HUGE jump from $400M in revenue to over $1B in '11. Vitesse makes a variety of super geeky networking gear that should never be seen outside of a too-cold room with bad fluorescent lighting. They pull in a little under $200M a year. Yes, there are some big companies up here, and we're just getting started. We almost immediately cross over into…
The Land of 1,000 Oaks
We've crossed an imaginary line, but the companies haven't changed too much. Xirrus is first. It's a private company that makes wireless networking equipment, specifically Wi-Fi arrays that cover various service areas. Still moving at 150, Ben Kuo's SoCalTech is 2 minutes away on our right. To our left–Inphi is across the freeway. If we wanted to stop, stretch our legs and casually engage in some high-speed analog circuit design for broadband network applications…this is where we'd do it. Pass, for now.
Slow the Maserati down to 140 or we'll blow right by Valueclick and Move, Inc. who can peep in each other's windows—but I wouldn't approve. Valueclick is one of the heavyweights in online advertising technology to the tune of $450M and Move runs Realtor.com among other real estate web properties and is a $200M business in total. Videogame publisher THQ is just a few seconds away. They'll always have a place in my heart for providing a great assignment for our final MBA project at UCLA Anderson. Ixia is building rack networking gear nearby, jumping from $170M to $270M in revenue year to year. What recession?
Continuing, we find Avanquest, a global packaged software publisher/distributor. Exit, turn north on Topanga Canyon and roll by ReachLocal, who completed their IPO last year. They're in the practically infinite space of selling online marketing services to small and medium business (SMB). They field an army of sales reps that knock on doors and get the local restaurant to hit the 'net with their advertising. Further up Topanga, MRV and its spinoff Source Photonics are close enough to spy on each other as they design and sell optoelectronics gear. After DataDirect Networks (high-performance & cloud storage) we pull a U and head back to the Ventura Freeway and continue south.
Next Bat-Post, we trade in the Maserati for a Prius and cruise through Tinseltown taking in some different sights than the usual tourist.

I've travelled to the USA from my home base in north Australia at least once a year for the past 10 or more years, most often to attend at annual meetings of the Society of Ethnobiology at various university campuses, usually during spring break. I can't recall when it was that I first met up with Jessica Orozco—it may have been at Ohio State University in 2011—but we were certainly good bud-smoking mates by the 2012 meeting at the Denver Botanic Gardens, when we'd meet up most mornings and evenings for a quiet smoke and a loud laugh and more outside our hotel.
Jessica was one of a dozen or so regulars at the Ethnobiology meetings that made the long trip across the Pacific—and then across the country and back— worthwhile. If you weren't impressed by Jessica from the get-go then you'd want to be checking your pulse. She had a warm and infectious laugh, a razor wit matched with a fiendish intelligence and was humble and gracious with it all. I never heard or read a mean or angry word from her. Testament to her character is that all of the photos of her and her very many fiends at her Facebook page they are all smiling or laughing.
She was a regular presenter at Society of Ethnobiology meetings and has for many years worked with First Nation tribes across southern and central California and Arizona and did her Masters on the floristic history of the lands of the Tule River Tribe in the southern Sierra Nevadas in California. More recently Jessica was working with the Hualapai Tribe as a Range Scientist around Peach Springs, Arizona and as a Tribal Botanist for the Costanoan Rumsen Carmel Tribe at Pomona in California. You can read more about Jessica Orozco's work here. In 2016 Jessica was awarded the Society of Ethnobiology Indigenous Ethnobiologist Fellowship while she was a graduate student at the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden through Claremont Graduate University.
The Society of Ethnobiology posted—in part—the following about the passing of Jessica:
To Jessica's family and loved ones: We hope that as you mourn the loss of Jessica you may find some comfort in knowing that her friends in the Society of Ethnobiology are grieving with you. Our hearts go out to you now and in the future as our members continue discussing ways to memorialize Jessica.
The Native American Rangelands Advisory Committee of the Society for Range Management posted the following tribute.
We are grieved to learn of the tragic loss of Jessica Orozco, one of SRM's emerging leaders with the Native American Rangelands Advisory Committee. Jessica's energy and passion for rangelands and ethnobotany leaves some well-defined footsteps for our other Native students to follow. Jessica was an instrumental partner with our Native American Rangeland Management Training Initiative and was the rangeland manager for the Hualapai Nation in Arizona. Jessica developed a number of important programs for the Hualapai's tribal youth, and planted her seeds of enthusiasm in them as well as with anyone who came into contact with her. Losing her is a big blow to all of us who knew her, and to conservation as a whole. Just a few days ago she submitted this photo along with a quote for why she belonged to the SRM. There are no words to describe how we felt about belonging to her. While we mourn her loss, please join us in celebrating her bright countenance and brave perseverance, and let us be torch-bearers for her contagious enthusiasm. Please pray for her family during this difficult time.
You will be greatly missed, Jessica
~ The Native American Rangelands Advisory Committee
One friend, noting that for the past few years Jessica had taken on her nephew as her own son to raise him up, said that:
When James was a baby, she'd show me photos all the time and say "This is my heart, he's my heart, I have to protect him because you have to protect your heart."
Details of how Jessica's life ended are sketchy at present, but according to the Mohave County Sheriff's Office, they attended at a residence in Concho Drive, Kingman late on Saturday night just passed after reports of gunfire and located Jessica, who was then taken to the Kingman Regional Medical Center but did not survive. A later unconfirmed report said that Jessica had taken her son/nephew's friend home from a party and that after the child failed to get a response from knocking on the door, Jessica stepped up and knocked more firmly. Someone in the house fired a gun through the closed door and Jessica was shot.
Jessica's family have posted the following advice.
For those able to attend, Memorial Services for Jessica will be held at the Hualapai Tribal Gymnasium starting at 10am, Friday, November 2, 2018. (960 Rodeo Way, Peach Springs, Az 86434, across the Natural Resources Office located 930 Rodeo Way.
The family apologize for the short notice, but we are in a time crunch. Thank you all for your continuous support.
Also, friends and family due to the nature of the incident, it will be a closed casket service. Cremation will follow the services and Jessica will be taken home to California and then her final resting place in Reno, NV at Our Lady of Sorrows Cemetery.
A memorial is being planned for November 18 at Indian Canyon, CA but has yet to be confirmed.
There is now a gofundme campaign for Jessica's son, James. Details follow.
Rest in power Jessica M. Orozco, taken from family and friends much too soon. We all knew Jessica to be courageous and outgoing, a strong woman who could germinate smiles from stones.
Friends, family, and colleagues have set up this campaign to help Jessica's adopted son (and nephew) James, who has a long road ahead, but we can help with his healing by bringing Jessica's wide-reaching community together to secure funds for him now, and into the future.
Jessica received her Masters in botany #botanyisbitchin #plantsnotpants from Claremont Graduate University and worked as range scientist for the Hualapai Nation. The Society of Ethnobiology has recently renamed one of their Fellowships, an award Jessica received in 2016 , to the "Jessica Mae Orozco Indigenous Ethnobiologist Fellowship".
A memorial will be held at the Hualapai Tribal Gymnasium on Friday, November 2, 2018 at 10am.
Jessica's partner Brandon Havatone and her son James will bring Jessica to her final resting place in Reno, NV, Our Lady of Sorrows Cemetery. A tentative memorial at Indian Canyon, CA is being organized by Cassandra Freeman, please contact her for more details.
After memorial fees, all funds will be saved for distribution to a 529 plan for James OR amalgamated with other fundraising efforts as overseen by James' legal guardian. Funds will not be distributed from this account prior to discussion between Cassandra Freeman (friend and sister of Jess), Dr. Chelsey G. Armstrong (friend and Society of Ethnobiology colleague), Anna Lee (former GSC CGU member), and Carrie Cannon (friend and Hualapai Tribe colleague). If anyone else feels they should have a say in this process, please step forward and contact us immediately. Thank you for honoring Jessica's memory and for your support for James.
You can donate to the gofundme campaign for Jessica's memory and James' future here.
Jessica's was not a life lost but a life stolen.
Vale Jessica Mae Orozco.

THREE city centre streets will be closed to traffic this weekend as a major roadworks scheme continues.
Motorists will be unable to drive along Upper Copperas Hill, Russell Street and Seymour Street from 6am on Saturday to 8pm on Sunday.
The closure will allow workmen to complete the resurfacing of the three streets after a lengthy road improvement scheme. The aim is to draw traffic away from the increasingly busy Lime Street.
It will introduce twoway traffic along Seymour Street, permanently remove vehicles from St Vincent Way, and improve facilities along Copperas Hill.
On Saturday, November 12, workmen will resurface the final stretch of Copperas Hill between Skelhorne Street and the Hawke Street junction.

Here is a link to some follow-up information from the media to our new You Tube posting below on the "School to Prison Pipeline."
Entitled, "Over-Punishment in Schools," today's New York Times editorial talks about the concern we raised over the increasing criminalization of our students that has resulted from school policies and practices that channel students from the public schools into the juvenile justice system.
The editorial alerts its readers to the increasing awareness by social justice advocates of policies put into place in the last decade in schools across the country:
"… juvenile justice advocates across the country are rightly worried about policies under which children are sometimes arrested and criminalized for behavior that once was dealt with by principals or guidance counselors working with a student's parents.
"Children who are singled out for arrest and suspension are at greater risk of dropping out and becoming permanently entangled with the criminal justice system. It is especially troubling that these children tend to be disproportionately black and Hispanic, and often have emotional problems or learning disabilities."
One of the problems identified has been the overpolicing in the schools. The NY Times editorial talks about an attempt to address this issue by the New York Council that has drafted a bill called the Student Safety Act. One of the goals of the act is to bring greater accountability and transparency to the issue.
The editorial describes the goals of the act as follows:
"The draft bill would require police and education officials to file regular reports that would show how suspensions and other sanctions affect minority children, children with disabilities and other vulnerable groups. Detailed reports from the Police Department would show which students were arrested or issued summonses and why, so that lawmakers could get a sense of where overpolicing might be a problem.
"Most important, the bill would create an easily navigable system under which parents, students and teachers could file complaints against school security officers. This provision comes in response to a 2007 report by the New York Civil Liberties Union, which said students were being roughed up for minor infractions like talking back or walking the halls without a pass.
We would be interested in sharing actions taken in other states. Readers who have information on their state are encouraged to share it with our readers on this blog.
Here are links to a December 14, 2009 op-ed from the New York Times entitled, "Judging our Children," and a December 16, 2009 editorial entitled, "De-Criminalizing Children."
Both articles continue the conversation. The latter article urges Congress to reauthorize the Juvenile Justice Delinquency and Prevention Act of 1974. The act had required the states to humanize their juvenile justice policies in order to receive federal funds.

The Cubs Will Win Before The Lions Do
The Cubbies did it,they made it past the Cards and are on their way to the NLCS. It's been over one hundred years. Bartman, the black cat, the goat whatever you chalk it up to, they've been cursed for a long time. But now they got a shot, and even if they don't win it all this year, I still think they're going to win a championship before the Lions do!

I've often wondered the same thing. I'd be curious to see what people post and think.
I give my land owners about 1/2 gallon per year. Some take more, some take less but it averages out.
It depends on how much honey the place produces.
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
I give mine 2 gallon in bottles. Good bee yards and nice folks to work with are important. Keep their place clean. I tell them if they run out to let me know and I will get them more. We stick 50 colonies to a yard. If I was only sticking in a few as a hobbyist the honey amount would be smaller
Feeding early patties. https://youtu.be/bUDd3vk7bgY
I run smaller yards of 3-9 hives and usually give the land owner a 2 lb jar to start but stay in contact and regularly ask how their supply is doing. As Kamon said, a good yard and nice people are important; respect their property and I never want them to want for personal use honey.
I find that most of my landowners don't use more than 2 lb per year, if that much.
The single biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has taken place. -George Bernard Shaw
Get sloppy and make their property look bad, and you will probably get an unhappy landowner.
I carry the weed eater about every other visit to trim around the hives for two reasons. The landowner can make their first pass away from the hives without needing to get too close and the landowner can make their first pass away from the hives without needing to get too close - I've had a leg on the stand buckled after being hit by a brush hog.
The single biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has taken place. -George Bernard Shaw
I have 4 outyards in addition to my home yard. I keep anywhere from 3 to 6 hives at these locations (according to the landowners wishes). When I harvest, I bring the landowners about a gallon each in pint jars or 12oz bears (whichever they want) and tell them to let me know if they need/want more. Some of them actually want to buy the honey from me. I have one landowner with a son who eats honey seemingly by the gallon - but I don't mind, those hives are on his alfalfa fields. The others might ask for a bit more once before the next harvest; or not at all. I don't really keep track of it. None of them take advantage of the situation and I appreciate having the sites.
psm1212 is right though - every one of them just loves that they have bees on their property. They don't see it as them helping me out - they see it as me doing them a favor.
An ad here (rural OH) asking for outyards offers 1 pint/year - per hive I assume.
I've got 4 bee yards and only own 1 of them. The other 3 yard owners approached me and just wanted bee's on their property and want nothing in return. One of them actually insists on purchasing honey because he's aware of the work involved.
Also depends on what they do. If they keep a path way to the hives open and trimmed. And if they harvest anything that needs pollination.
Often they are having a benefit as well. If they had Apples do they offer 10% of the apples up to a Bushel? I guess I would offer a couple Jars, Quarts. you could offer time, depends on what they value. Maybe cut and split some fire wood one Saturday. its all relative, how many Hives , how good is the yard, do you already have a relationship with the person? It would be hard to put a cut and dried value on it.

James Iredell(redirected from Iredell, James)
Also found in: Legal.
Iredell, James(īr`dĕl), 1751–99, American jurist, b. Lewes, England. He emigrated (1767) to North Carolina, where he entered the customs service at Edenton and was made (1774) collector for the port. He was admitted to the bar in 1771, and after the outbreak of the American Revolution he helped to organize the North Carolina court system. He became (1777) a judge and later (1779–81) was attorney general. His strong support of the proposed U.S. Constitution helped procure its adoption by North Carolina. In 1790, Iredell was made an associate justice of the newly established U.S. Supreme Court. Among his notable opinions was his dissent in Chisholm v. Georgia (1793) when the majority holding was that a state might be sued in the federal courts without its consent. The Eleventh Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (adopted 1798) made that view the law of the land.

By Ruma Dubey
In 2008, we all read and watched how tribals and villagers together, many of them carrying bows, arrows and sticks, walked from their homes to the district of Jagatsinghpur in Orissa, shouting slogans against POSCO. Fear of displacement of some 20,000 people and forced to give up farmlands, the protest had taken national proportions. Eventually, Posco shelved the project. Today, the Odisha Govt is staring hard at lakhs of felled trees, thousands of jobs vanishing into thin air and some 2,700 acres of land which needs to be returned to farmers. Posco also owes some Rs.82 crore as cess, which it has refused to pay.
Then there was Singur, probably one of the most infamous protests, leading to the exit of Tata Motors from there. This is stated to be one of the biggest politically sponsored unrest in the country. It surely led to the victory of Mamata Banerjee, going on to become the CM but till date, the state has not attracted any big ticket investment despite her tall promises.
There was also the major unrest in Gurgaon and Noida belt, the entire industrial segment which makes automobiles and components had erupted into a strike and even violence, protesting against unfair employment norms.
Also in jeopardy is Maharashtra government's investment proposal to the tune of Rs 3 lakh crore in the single largest refinery in which Indian Oil Corporation and Saudi Aramco were the stakeholders. To be set up in Nanar, Ratnagiri there are major protests over land acquisition. Many call it a politically motivated protest of the Shiv Sena; here land has already been acquired by investors who knew the details before the announcement of the project, leaving the farmers high and dry.
The 9,900 MW Jaitapur Nuclear Power Project and the Kudankulam nuclear power plant; protests at both the plants have rocked the very roots of India.
All this comes to mind as we read with dismay the loss of 12 lives in the Vedanta Tuticorin protest over expansion of its copper smelter facility.
One cannot help but wonder where is all this heading to? The politicians score a point and even an election victory but such face offs will only get more frequent and violent; they all have legitimate reasons for not allowing projects to take off, knowing well that they are shunning development, growth, better quality of life and employment.
So what makes people take this stand? In most of the cases it is the fear of the future – some for their health/life and some for sustainability. The displacement of people in Odisha and Singur, even before the project could take off is there for us to see. In Ratnagiri, the fear is that some 15 villages will be affected with human displacements over 15,000 hectares of land.
In the past, many have been witness to promises not being kept – people's land has been taken away and they do not have sustainable employment today. And also equally important is that in this pursuit for growth, we are doing away with precious Mother Nature.
For a country like India, where 30% of the 1.2 billion people live in poverty without basic needs being met, talk of environment might seem pretty elitist. But aren't we all, dependent on natural capital - forests, rivers, crops, land; if they disappear, how will humanity survive?
It is a very thin rope to walk – human /natural capital and growth. But in a country which has the highest density of population - 400 people in every square kilometer with only 20% of the total land covered in forests, our growth model cannot be similar to that of China or USA. We do not have that luxury. We have to look at a more sustainable model of development and growth – rather than 'Make in India' it would be better to have 'Think in India;' we should work on making India an R&D hub and not the factory of the world.
We all might be living longer and with a much better of quality of life than our great grandfathers and even fathers, but somewhere in our mind, we know that they ate healthier and led much stress-free lives. We all are striding ahead blindly but mostly unhappily.
Putting environment and people first sounds Utopian and will never happen as India Inc funds every political party; when money and power permeates every pore, think about environment and humanity? You must be off your rocker!!!

Seriously? There are conservatives down here in Georgia who can't figure out why Trump trounced? Why foul-mouthed ugly-talking nasty-acting Trump won in the conservative Christian evangelical South? Why Trump who reduces women to their menstrual cycles won in the husband-is-head-of-household Bible Belt? Why Trump who refused to disavow the white-robed white-ISIS and had black students removed from a Valdosta rally just for being black was able to lock-up the nomination on the strength of voters in the reconstituted Confederacy?
You really don't know?
Under what rock hast thou lived for the past eight years? Into what sand didst thou plant thy head for the past eight years? Where is the wool behind which thou didst intentionally hide thine own eyes?
As a lone Southern-bred white-privileged evangelical-Christian male voice crying out in a barren wilderness of hate-filled anger-ridden fear-consumed Christians, I showed it to you, but you covered your eyes; I preached it to you, but you stopped your ears; I reasoned with you, but you ignored it; I pleaded with you, but you bristled; I warned you, but you denied it.
It really was about race. It really was about the color of his skin.
At no time in history had leaders in Congress gathered on the night of a president's inauguration to plot how to delegitimize him and block his every move, before he had stepped a foot into the White House. Not until President Obama. At no time in history had the Senate instituted a continuing filibuster, requiring a president to get 60 votes in order to pass anything. Not until President Obama. At no time in history had people questioned whether a president was "one of us." Not until President Obama.
At no time in history had we elected a black president. Not until President Obama.
And you stood in your silence and let others make racial innuendos about President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. You stood in your ignorance and closed your minds to readily-available easily-accessible facts that would have clearly shown that you were misinformed about both the substance of his actions and the motivations for them. You stood in your laziness and refused to put forth the effort to educate yourselves to the truth. You cowardly hid behind others, hitting "Share" on misinforming-posts and "Forward" on racially-tinged emails.
And now you want to know why conservative Christians in the South could have gone so solidly for a candidate so repulsive to the example of Christ and so repugnant to Christian values?
Trump is nothing. He's a sociopath without a conscience, wholly incapable of empathy. He has no guiding principles, no defining values. He's a soulless empty vessel, adrift with no direction.
He was clay, waiting to be made and you made him.
He's but a mirror, reflecting you.
He's you.

Progress Requires Disruption

Creative disruption is a beautifully healthy thing. It freaks out the status quo folks, but we would wither without the artists and leaders.

Artist: Lise Stang Lund 2008. Art consultant: Annika Borg.
The memorial at Moholt churchyard consists of three areas with urns. Artist Lise Stang Lund has provided each of these areas with a column. The columns are identical, 190 cm high and consist of two granite boulders with a narrow prism glass area between the boulders. The boulder foundation is inserted in the ground, and works as a frame around each of the areas with urns. The purpose of the glass is to connect the two tall elements of the column, and add immaterial qualities to the monument. The glass creates a narrow mirroring of the changing sky and surroundings. The pure and simple shapes have been chosen as an expression of tranquillity and equilibrium.

Chinese Cosco Shipping Cop. is in talks with shipyards in China to order about 25 massive ships that will move bauxite from the West African country of Guinea for aluminum production in China, people involved in the matter said.
The move is part of a plan by state behemoth Aluminum Corp. of China (Chalco) to invest $700 million in Guinea's Boffa project for a steady supply of the commodity over the next decade. Cosco is looking to add to its fleet on the back of a long-term contract with Chalco to move aluminum to China.
Guinea is a hotbed of mining activity in recent months as aluminum firms from the U.S., China and Russia, try to carve out a piece of its massive bauxite-ore deposits used to produce alumina and aluminum. About seven billion metric tons, or a quarter of the world's bauxite resources, are estimated to be in Guinea.
"Cosco is looking for seven ships at the start and the tally will likely be more than 25 vessels," said one person, who is part of the project. "They will move around six million (metric) tons of bauxite in the first phase, which will more than double as mine production rumps up."
Shipyard officials in China said Cosco is looking to order capesize vessels, the biggest ships that move commodities such as bauxite and iron ore across the oceans. The order price is expected to be around $1.5 billion.

Plumas County Traffic Ticket Experts
Plumas County gets its name from the Spanish word for "feather," a tribute to the scenic Feather River that flows through the county's canyons and mountain valleys. Drivers who follow the river on Highway 70 can enjoy breathtaking views of waterfalls and forested mountainsides.
Drivers who take Highway 70 through Plumas County near Portola need to watch for two things: deer crossing the road and officers writing speeding tickets. The stretch of highway is known for a high rate of road kill. Drivers need to be wary of officers who are trying to reduce the problem by writing speeding tickets to passing motorists. If you have been ticketed, you should talk to a traffic ticket expert who practices in Plumas County to avoid fines and points against your license.
Poor economic conditions and a declining population have caused economic woes in Plumas County, which has operated without a County Administrative Officer for three years in order to save expenses. Counties with tight budgets often resort to traffic ticket fines to raise revenues. One columnist who received two "crushingly expensive speeding tickets" on Highway 70 wrote about "the many dollars going to Plumas County Superior Court." Rather than helping the county pay its bills with speeding ticket revenues, drivers who receive citations in Plumas County should get help from a traffic ticket expert.

Police seek two in Uniondale robberies
Two men armed with a handgun and driving a red Hyundai are suspects in two Monday robberies in Uniondale, Nassau County police said.
The suspects took two cell phones, a pair of sneakers and a bag of food that was purchased at a nearby delicatessen in the robberies that occurred in a span of about 35 minutes, police said.
The two suspects first stopped a 16-year-old boy walking on Armond Street at about 7:55 p.m., taking a phone and the sneakers. The suspects drove away west on Lafayette Street, police said.
Then, at about 8:30 p.m., the two pulled their car alongside a man, 39, who was walking on Clark Place. The two left the car and took another phone and the bag of food, police said, before driving off east on Windsor Road.
No injuries were reported.
Police said the car was a 4-door Hyundai and that the handgun was black.
Anyone with information can call Crime Stoppers at 800-244-8477. All calls will be kept confidential.
