The Wae Wuul protection plan was developed to protect the remnant Komodo dragon population in Wae Wuul and avoid expansion of habitat encroachment. The project has four main components: community awareness, patrolling and law enforcement, involvement of the local community in protection and conservation and capacity building.
The Wae Wuul nature reserve is situated on the west coast of the island of Flores in Indonesia. In recent years, Komodo dragons on this island have been poorly protected. Feral and domestic dogs are often used to illegally hunt deer, the main prey source of Komodo dragons. In addition, poachers frequently light bushfires, to promote grass growth and fresh grazing grounds for deer, which are then easily located by the hunters and their dogs.
The Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) is the largest existing species of lizard; adult males can reach 3 metres in length and 80 kg weight. It is a carnivorous animal that captures live prey, although it also feeds on carrion. It inhabits areas of deciduous forest and savannah, from sea level to 800 metres height.
The Komodo dragon is endemic to five islands in South-Eastern Indonesia, four of which – Komodo, Rinca, Gili and Gili Dasami Motang – form the Komodo National Park, was founded in 1980. The fifth island, Flores, is the largest of all and has two natural reserves: the Wae Wuul on the West coast and Wolo Tadó on the North coast. The current population of Komodo National Park is estimated at less than 2,000 individuals.
The population on the island of Flores is less known; there was estimated to be a population of 66 individuals at Wae Wuul in 1991. Its density is up to four times lower than the other four islands where the species lives and the threats to dragons have increased in recent years due to illegal hunting of Timor deer (Cervus Timorensis), the main food source of the Komodo dragon.
In 2005 the creation of a protection program on Wae Wuul Reserve for a minimum of three years was proposed, in which the EAZA (European Association of Zoos and Aquaria) would be the main participant. The programme anticipates carrying out activities to educate the communities that live around the reserve, and the creation of patrols and services to reinforce the application of local laws,
Komodo dragons are restricted to 5 southern Indonesian islands and they have the smallest range of any large predator in the world. On the island of Flores, where this project is based, there is estimated to only be 160 individuals left. In 2004, it was estimated that in Wae Wuul alone there was 1 komodo per 60ha, however no reports have been done since then to find out current density sizes. The project is working hard to protect its current unknown population of Komodo dragons.
In 2007, the non-governmental organization Komodo Survival Program (KSP) was established to secure a long-term collaboration with the Flores branch of the Indonesian Department of Forest Protection and Nature Conservation (BBKSDA) and the Komodo National Park (KNP) authority. A Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) was drafted for KSP to be a consultant and co-supervisor for habitat protection and wildlife conservation activities in the Wae Wuul nature reserve and Flores, which was eventually signed in March 2008.
The project purchased a new generator for their renovated sentry post and electric supplies were installed. A weather station was installed at the Wae Wuul sentry post meaning they can now record air temperature, relative humidity and rainfall. Balai Besar Konservasi Sumber Daya Alam (BBKSDA) staff were trained in wildlife monitoring techniques, which they could then use out in the field.
A population survey was conducted and 17 Komodos were captured using baited trapping stations. The lizards were each measured and fitted with a transponder. A prey population survey was also conducted, this was done by faecal counts, as direct methods like observing the prey are difficult as they will avoid people. The 2009 survey found there was an increase in deer and water buffalo numbers in Wae Wuul, however no pellets of wild boar were recorded. The community awareness part of the project continued with regular meetings, which were held in 3 villages living on the edge of the reserve.
These meetings are aimed at maintaining community interest in Wae Wuul natural habitats and wildlife. The local community with help from BBKSDA continued with their patrolling and law enforcement activities. Patrolling was done every other day during June and July on 5 paths covering key areas of the reserve. During the 2009 patrols, a few fires were extinguished and 3 feral dogs were captured. The presence of dogs poses a real threat to wildlife of Wae Wuul as they hunt deer and thus compete for food with Komodo dragons.
It is hoped that once the Wae Wuul Protection Plan becomes established as a regular, annual initiative then illegal activities within the park boundaries will stop completely and Komodo dragon numbers will increase.

We would usually be out on a Saturday but today the force is strong with the wind. Blowing at 46km/h and gusting at 63km/h at one point, home we stayed. I tried this brownie recipe from Anna Olson. She posted a link to it on her Facebook page on Valentine's Day. I like that it's quick to make; no butter to measure out, just vegetable oil.
When it was baking, the aroma was so good that it drew Little Guy out from his room to ask me what it was. I told him it was brownies and he exclaimed, "BROWNIES!!" then proceeded to thank me for making brownies. So sweet. 🙂
These brownies are hard to photograph, they are so dark!
Verdict: They are true to name, rich and chewy. Very nice, my boys like it so it means it's not too bitter even though I reduced the sugar to 1 cup. Would be good with vanilla ice-cream or whipped cream!
Update: I have to add that they are very chocolatey too! I used Ghirardelli's Bittersweet Chips and they're larger than regular chips so they didn't fully melt and it's wonderful!
Rich Chewy Brownies (from Anna Olson's website)
If you wish to make these using traditional wheat flour, replace the 1/2 cup of rice flour and 2 tbsp of cornstarch with 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour.
Makes 1 8-inch square pan
Cuts into 25 brownies
- 11/4 cups sugar
- 3/4 cups Dutch process (alkalized) cocoa powder, sifted
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup brown rice flour
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/2tsp salt
- 1/2 cup walnut pieces and/or chocolate chips (I left out the nuts)
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and line an 8-inch square pan with parchment so that the paper comes up the sides of the pan.
Stir the sugar, cocoa and oil together until moistened.
Add the eggs and vanilla and whisk to blend.
Add the rice flour, cornstarch and salt and stir until incorporated. Stir in the walnut pieces and/or chocolate chips. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake the brownies for about 25 minutes, until they lose their shine and when a tester inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool the brownies to room temperature before slicing.
The brownies will keep in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

D-Link DCS-6616 12X WDR Day/Night Speed Dome Network Camera
D-Link DCS-6616 12X WDR Day/Night Speed Dome Network Camera
Product Description
D-Link's DCS-6616 12X WDR Day/Night Speed Dome Camera is a PTZ surveillance solution that can cover large areas and low-light environments. Built with a Sony Super HAD-II 1/4" CCD sensor, the DCS‑6616 can capture 650 TVL high-resolution video with excellent image quality. A built-in IR-cut removable filter allows the camera to capture video in both bright and dark environments. During the day, the IR-cut filter moves out of the way to provide high-quality images. At night, the IR-cut filter stays in, allowing the camera to use all available light for low-light surveillance.
Versatile Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) Functionality
The DCS-6616 is built with an extensive set of PTZ features that allow large areas to be monitored easily. Endless 360° panning allows the camera to sweep an area easily, and 12X optical zoom with auto focus provides the ability to zoom in and focus on an event for more detail. Panning speed is variable and proportional to the zoom ratio for precise control over camera movement. The DCS-6616 can also be set to follow preset sequence paths at set speeds for customised automatic surveillance.
Flexible Connectivity
The DCS-6616 includes input and output ports that allow connectivity to external devices such as IR sensors, switches, and alarm relays. It includes audio input and output ports, and a video output for direct connection to a TV for live monitoring.
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) Applications
The Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) function provides clear images even under backlit conditions where the intensity of illumination can vary significantly, making the DCS-6616 perfect for extreme high-contrast environments. For example, when placed indoors, the DCS-6616 will adjust itself to the intense sunlight that may be streaming in through a nearby window. This makes it an ideal solution for security applications.
Multiple Video Streams
The DCS-6616 supports simultaneous streaming of H.264, MPEG-4, and MJPEG video to provide both high-quality and bandwidth-efficient compression formats. MJPEG delivers excellent file integrity, and is ideal for situations which require high image detail. H.264 and MPEG-4 produce a small file size, useful for extended recording or for use in low-bandwidth networks. Additionally, the DCS-6616 supports multicast H.264 and MPEG-4 streaming, allowing users to view the camera feed by subscribing to a multicast IP address on the network.
3GPP Mobile Surveillance
Support for 3GPP Mobile Surveillance allows users to view a live video feed from a 3GPP compatible Internet-ready mobile device. This extends monitoring capability, allowing users to check the camera's video feed while on the go without a computer.
D-ViewCam™ for Management
The included D-Link D-ViewCam™ is sophisticated software which allows users to manage up to 32 network cameras, set e-mail alert notifications, create recording schedules, and use motion detection to record directly important events to a hard drive. D-ViewCam™ also allows users to upload a floor plan to create a realistic layout of the premises where cameras are located, further simplifying the management process.
Open Network Video Interface Forum (ONVIF) compliant
The Open Network Video Interface Forum (ONVIF) is standards relating to open IP video networking. The DCS-6616 is ONVIF compliant and therefore interoperable with other manufacturer's products on the same network such as cameras, storage systems, video analytics products and Video Management Systems.

Gone Fishing
Ever dream of catching the real deal in Alaska's rugged waters? We sent Senior Food Editor Julia Rutland to try her luck on the Last Frontier.
Forget "I love you." The sweetest words to a fisherman's ears are "You'll catch a lot of fish." This promise from my guide makes me smile as I sit in a boat on the glassy waters off Cordova, Alaska, 150 miles southeast of Anchorage. While I appreciate the trend of eating food grown close to home, I always make an exception for wild salmon in the grocery store. It's that good—and good for you. But instead of running to the market, I've traveled some 3,500 miles to fly-fish for my dinner.
Pale gray clouds circle Sheep Bay, guarding the stunning scenery. Suited up in bulky brown waders, we anchor at low tide and step into the adjacent Sheep River, where pink salmon are heading to spawn. For the next few weeks, the river will teem with wild salmon, whose life cycle begins and ends in freshwater. After hatching, the fish migrate to the ocean for their adult lives. Then their powerful spawning instincts guide them back to the very spot where they hatched.
During our excursion, we see a brown bear, breakfast still writhing in her mouth, looking at us with eyes almost as wide as ours. The guide unholsters his bear spray, the photographer grabs his zoom lens, and I stand there, slack-jawed, unsure if I should be thrilled or terrified. It is one of the rare moments in my life when I have nothing to say. The bear decides bringing dinner to her cub upstream is more interesting than hanging out with a group of humans, and our time on the river draws to a close. I have my fish, and a fish story, too.

European Kiteboarding Championship 2016 - Days 1 & 2
The Monegasque Maxime Nocher and Italian-Colombian Riccardo Andrea Leccese are sharing the lead after the first 10 races, run in the Mistral wind the first day and with sea breeze the second.
Cagliari, 17th May, 2016 – Tthe Kiteboarding European Championship – Formula Kite & KiteFoil has started today with the favor of Mistral wind. It will go on till the 22nd May, organised by the Yacht Club Cagliari with the support of the Italian Army. The typical NW Mistral wind has blown around 16 knots with gust over 24, an ideal condition for the 40 competing athletes: thanks to the performances given by their kites and foils, they have reached high speed and offered a great show in front of the Poetto Beach. The leeward mark has been set very close to the seashore, what has made the riders' turnings really spectacular. They are the best in the world in the Kite Class, which is most likely going to became an olympic sport starting from 2020 Tokyo Games.
The wind has been dropping little bit during the last round, but it has allowed the 5 windward/ leeward races scheduled for the first of the two qualification days to be completed. The whole group has been split into two different fleet (Yellow and Blue), combined to make up the overall results for the coming gold and silver fleet. In the first fleet the Monegasque Maxime Nocher, defending European Champion, has challenged British Oliver Bridge (current Junior World Champion) and Spanish Paul Florian Trittel, while in the second group Italian-Colombian Andrea Leccese (number 4 in the world ranking list, member of the Chia Wind Club) has led the round with a great advantage. The two riders are in ahead of the respective fleets, with 4 scores each (after getting the first discard).
Riccardo Andrea Leccese. "In the first two races, I started with precision and faster than the others, in the fourth I put my heart in recovering a bad start, while in the fifth race I'got the timing wrong, starting over a minutes late and I'finished first, it was the best and most difficult race of the season"
Maxime Nocher. "It-s been a perfect day, both for the weather conditions and the results I got: I knew I'd found such tough opponents as Bridge and Trittel, I think this challenge will last for all championship. I'm racing with the foil, which is really gratifying and exciting with such a calm sea".

Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia
I have recently seperated from my wife due to affiars that we both were having Since then My mother and brother in law were arrested and charged with 22 counts including 16 felonies (8 Aggravated assaults and 8 false inprisionments) for holding me at gun point and shooting at me and hitting the vehicle I was in as I was getting away. Since then my 6 year old daughter has had to attend weekly counseling to deal with mine and my wife's seperation and her anxiety from such. My mother in law has since threatened me and has also threatened to inform
My daughter of everything that has happened between me and my wife because she is mad about some issues I brought up in divorce court and stated that she would use that to turn my daughter against me. My daughter does not need to
Know about these adult issues and it will only scar her more as being a child an cause her more emotional problems. With this said my question is.... Can I file and be awarded a temporary protective order for me for the shooting incident as well as on behalf of my kids for the threatening of this "mental abuse" to my 6 year old daughter.
3 Answers from Attorneys
With all this going on, you know that you have an emergency and that it was ESSENTIAL that you retain a lawyer. There is no time to waste. Tomorrow is too long, so work on that today. That means this morning.
That is awful what has happened and is continuing to occur with you and your daughter, but yes, you can file for a Temporary Protective Order (TPO) for you and your daughter. The sooner you do it, the better. For your daughter, you should file on your daughter's behalf; from what you have briefly stated, you may have a more difficult time convincing a judge to grant a Temporary Protective Order for your daughter, but that is not to say it cannot be done. You may have more information that you have not stated.
You should already have a Conditional Bond in regard to your Mother-In-Law and Brother-In-Law. If that sounds foreign to you, you need to contact the Prosecutor's office; they have Victim Advocates who may be able to help answer some of your questions if you cannot reach the Prosecutor in your case. In Criminal cases like yours, there should have been a Stay-Away Bond/Order that would prevent the Defendants from having any contacts with you and possibly your daughter.
Your Mother-In-Law and Brother-In-Law legally have no rights to visit with your daughter unless there has been a legal Agreement otherwise. You can also modify the visitation/custody with your wife, especially under these circumstances, by going back to Court to modify it, either temporarily or permanently, to ask that your daughter not be exposed to your Mother-In-Law or Brother-In-Law.
I hope this general information is of some use to you; if you have any additional questions, please call me at 404-507-6795. The brief phone consultation is free. I wish you the best.
I would definitely file for a protective order for yourself and on behalf of your daughter. I am not sure what is going on with your divorce, but I would hope you have an attorney to assist you. A major concern would be if your wife obtains custody, would she protect your daughter from her family members. I don't know the pending custody arrangement or if there is a temporary order in place. If not, I urge you to obtain an attorney and get yourself and your daughter protected. If a temporary order was in place prior to the criminal activity on the part of your in-laws, you may want an attorney to review it and insure your daughter is protected under these circumstances.

Your hated geographic rivals are suffering one of the worst humiliations in their 130-year history. What's a devoted fan who takes pleasure from the misery of others to do? Fly a goddamn airplane banner over their stadium.
Preston North End is already guaranteed relegation from the second-tier Championship, sending them further down the Football Pyramid. Longtime rival Blackpool is completing their debut in the Premier League. As if that wasn't obviously painful enough, Blackpool fans needed to rub it in.
During Preston's Saturday match, in which Blackpool wasn't even involved, this happened:
The plane flew over the stadium, displaying two separate banners, purportedly organised by Blackpool FC fans, reading: "Poor little Preston enjoy League One" and "We are superior love Blackpool FC."
After the match, PNE manager Phil Brown called the stunt "distasteful" and even said he wanted to "shoot down" the plane.
Preston is butthurt. After complaints, the UK's Civil Aviation Authority is going to investigate the low-altitude flyovers. But the truest revenge may come in the tables: Blackpool's not clear of their own relegation just yet.

Upper Skimmer
Same concept as the legendary upper decker but this involves a swimming pool. You take the lid off the pool
skimmer and pinch one off in the basket. You replace the lid and the water will filter thru the rancid duke left in the skimmer
When my asshole neighbors went on vacation I hopped the fence, dropped my drawers and did an Upper Skimmer to their pool. I hope they like swimming in mypoo water

- 1 piece of 6" patterned paper.
Step 1: Cut out a 6 inch circle of patterned paper.
Step 2: Fold the circle in half and then in half again.
Step 3: Fold the quarter circle into thirds, radiating from the point.
Step 4: Open up paper so it is a half circle again. Now, fan-fold along previously folded lines.
Step 5: The top picture shows the fold that you do NOT cut on. Flip it upside down. You want the 2 folds and 2 ends side. Using sharp scissors, cut 3 v's like the bottom picture.
Step 6: Here's a picture of the back. Place some adhesive in the folds.
Step 7: Flip your tree over and adhere it to card front.
Optional idea: Make 2 trees and adhere together. Thread string through the top and use as an ornament or on top of a gift.

Wore pretty much the same outfit as yesterday, oversized cardigan + black dress. Done. Ikea was good, I bought some pillows and some candles and ate lots of food (huh diet please!). There was a total store evacuation while I was there and everyone in the building had to be evacuated, luckily me and mum had just paid, however I had just bought a Mr Whippy Ice Cream and I had to leave before I could get any ice cream so I only had a cone. I then managed to pull a muscle in my chest when picking something up and then to rub salt in my wounds afore mentioned ice cream (when we were finally allowed back in) was accidentally dropped on the floor. You have to laugh but oh god life is a joke.
I don't do Topshop knitwear, I think its terribly over priced for its general poor quality. This was down in the sale though from £38 to £18, I like the colour (I love pink and black at the moment!) and I thought I'd be a devil and break duh rulez.
Ps. Told you my hair was VERY BLONDE. Going to work on the fade between the brown and the blonde a bit so the ombre is higher and more towards the crown once my hair a recovers a little from being bleached!

3 years after killing, no shooter found
Teen victim's mother holds march to bring attention to case
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Wednesday marked three years since 16-year-old Tiphne Hollis was shot and killed.
On the 20th of every month since then, her mother has held a walk at the scene of the shooting in hopes of finding the shooter.
On Wednesday, they moved the walk to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office headquarters, hoping to remind everyone that they still don't have closure.
Shanda Hollis said the last three years have been difficult knowing her daughter's killer is on the loose, but she is still convinced that someone in the neighborhood where the shooting happened knows who is responsible.
"It still hurts. It still hurts," Hollis said.
Dozens of friends and family joined her on the three-year anniversary of her daughter's death. Tiphne was riding in a car with family members when a gunman opened fire on the car.
Hollis said she is hopeful every day that a shooter will be found. She vowed at the time of the shooting to continue holding marches to let others know her family wants justice.
"She wanted to come downtown and let them know that the case is still unsolved," family friend Gail Wyman said.
"Let them know that we are still fighting," Hollis added. "I want them to keep fighting until this case is solved. I am not going to give up until I see justice. Hopefully it will put pressure on everyone."
That includes everyone from the people who live in the Northwest Jacksonville area near the shooting scene at the intersection of Calvin and West 20th streets to the detectives on the case.
"We always stay in contact. I believe that I am going to see justice one day," Hollis said. "Someone does know something."
Even as the case is now three years old, Channel 4 crime analyst Ken Jefferson said that many times the tips keep coming in, and each one is followed up on until the case is solved.
"There is no time limit on this, but what's unfortunate is that people who may have information regarding this incident have not come forward," Jefferson said. "There is a loved one that was lost as a result of someone's criminal activity. Someone knows something, but they haven't come forward."
Hollis is once again encouraging anyone with any information about the shooting to let police know. Anyone with information can call Crime Stoppers at 866-845-TIPS and can remain anonymous.

In a move towards transparency, the former Soviet state has been publishing more of its data, and civil society and journalists are now delving into the numbers to see what lurks inside.
Since 2011, Moldova has taken a few steps from its opaque communist past and moved towards greater transparency by opening up its books online. Now with the key to Pandora's box, civil society and the media are delving in to see what lurks inside.
Moldova kicked off its National Action Plan on Open Government in 2011, and that April, the former Soviet state surprised its neighbours by being the first in the region - and among the first 16 countries in the world - to publish an Open Data Portal, with 186 data sets available and plenty more in the planning.
It was USAID who financed the first version of the portal. The following two versions were backed by the World Bank, and currently includes 722 data sets.
Within the same month, liberal democrat Prime Minister Vlad Filat, who aims to take his country into the European Union, signed a directive and institutionalised the Open Data Programme. The e-Government Centre (EGC) was put in charge to deliver the project. The portal recorded 20,000 downloads of more than 250 data sets in five months - showing that a new era of public scrutiny had indeed begun.
When the Moldovan Finance Ministry released a comprehensive public expenditure database under the World Bank's BOOST Initiative, civil society quickly combed through the numbers and showed how much the state's civil servants cost taxpayers by releasing the Budget Stories.
The new and fragile Moldovan civil society's drive for transparency and improved public services garnered wide support.
The World Bank gave $20 million for the e-government implementation, while World Bank president Robert Zoellick visited Moldova in August 2010, and open data advocate Hans Rosling came a year later. Both met with PM Vlad Filat in the capital Chisinau to discuss the open data partnership.
"The World Bank has agreed to support the Moldovan Government e-transformation project as a complement to the important contributions of international actors such as USAID and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)", which were already piloting e-services, training civil servants and supporting legal reforms, a report said.
What followed was an innovation contest for apps, hackathons and computer-assisted reporting boot camps - whispering a wind of change.
The U.N. organised a two-day workshop last November in Chisinau, where about 25 young journalists, students and NGO workers from across the region took data expeditions and learnt how to map, scrape and manage a data-driven story. Entry was free and UNDP paid for the participants' flights, visas and hotels.
Tracking finance is the latest skill that Moldovan journalists have added to their investigative toolkit. A follow-up took place on December 16 and 17, organised by geopolitical magazine Transitions Online (TOL) and MediaPoint, Moldova's first new media organisation.
Participants learned from leading journalists from the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project how to follow the money, while Thomson Reuters Foundation trained them to mine for stories using Excel.
Moldova is one of the poorest countries in Europe, whose main export partner is Russia, according to Index Mundi.
Accountability in the former Soviet country has a long way to go, but NGOs are already pressing authorities for improved data sets.
The first step towards data-driven investigations in Moldova is being taken now and with $15 million in World Bank funding left to spend for electronic transparency, it could become a revolutionary road.

The latest installment of WhatIfSports.com's User Interview features a SimLeague Baseball stud, mensu1954, who's compiled 97 championships and 13 T.O.C. championships during a WIS career that expands more than seven years. Mensu1954 was kind enough to take a brief respite from building powerhouse ball clubs to answer a few questions. He talks SLB strategy, reveals some of his favorite players in the game and explains how a Kentuckian grew to be a Yankees fan.

|Playoff Record
|93,052-72,813 (56.1%)
|2,890-2,647 (52.2%)
mensu1954 Tournament of Champions Records
|1,090-829 (56.8%)
WIS: Who is mensu1954?
mensu1954: A 57-year-old retired teacher, high school head baseball and basketball coach that has lived in the bluegrass state of Kentucky most of my life. My wife has worked in the mental health field for 30+ years. We are both dog lovers and currently have a very intelligent (but very spoiled) yellow Labrador retriever.
WIS: How did you find out about WhatIfSports.com?
mensu1954: By doing a web search for online sports games. WIS was the first one I looked at and have been hooked since.
WIS: Which of our games have you played?
mensu1954: Mainly SimLeague Baseball, but have sampled college and pro basketball without much success.
WIS: Which do you prefer?
mensu1954: SimLeague Baseball by a great margin. I've always loved baseball more than any sport the home run race of 1961 between Maris and Mantle definitely influenced a 7-year-old! I searched the box scores daily and it lead me to become a diehard Yankee fan through thick and thin. The late 60's and early 70's were a tough time. Thank goodness for Horace Clarke, Bobby Murcer, and Roy White!
WIS: What are some of your interests and hobbies?
mensu1954: Sports, reading, history, and sports gaming.
WIS: Which five people, past or present, sit at your dream roundtable discussion?
mensu1954: My dad, Robert E. Lee, Mike McDonald (a very close friend that lost his life 20+ years ago in a "black ice" auto accident), Thomas Jefferson, and Pete Maravich. (He could do so many things with a basketball that were amazing!)
WIS: Did you play any sports growing up?
mensu1954: Organized baseball and basketball.
WIS: Who are your favorite all-time players?
mensu1954: There are so many, but the top few players in no particular order are Mickey Mantle, Don Mattingly, Catfish Hunter, Ron Guidry, Goose Gossage, Jim Palmer, Tom Seaver, Reggie Jackson, Ozzie Smith, Gary Carter, Willie Randolph and Mariano Rivera. Also, I can't leave out Ted Abernathy. I saw him pitch at Crosley Field and as the first submarine pitcher I had ever seen, it just amazed me as a young person. I left out several players, but those are at the top of my list.
WIS: Do you have any sports-related items on your bucket list that you have not yet done?
mensu1954: I would love to see Wrigley Field and Fenway Park. I missed out on old Yankee Stadium, but did see old Crosley Field in Cincinnati in the 60's. I loved the huge signs on the outfield walls and the terrace in the outfield! I saw Alex Johnson trip and fall down trying to catch a fly ball while going up that terrace.
WIS: What is your favorite WIS moment?
mensu1954: I would have to say winning 17 straight to go undefeated in a Tournament of Champions. I also had a couple more teams go 17-1.
WIS: You currently have 18 SimLeague Baseball teams. What is the most teams you've ever had at one time? Is it challenging to keep all of your teams organized?
mensu1954: Back a few years ago, I carried 35-40 teams on a regular basis, with my high being 55. Since I began playing progressives, it's usually 15-22 or so.
The progressive league teams can create a little confusion at times, especially when several drafts are going on at one time.
WIS: Do you have any favorite SimLeague Baseball theme or progressive leagues?
mensu1954: I love progressive leagues, playing in 12 and running 2 of my own. My favorite theme leagues are Donburgh's Exclusive Ownership, both of CLWECW's Extreme Themes, and Spotsell's Dodgeball theme. All are great fun!
WIS: What is your general strategy for building teams in SimLeague Baseball?
mensu1954: My strategies have changed over the years. When I first started, spending 60% of the cap on pitching wasn't anything unusual. But, when the 1894 pitching strategy was in full swing, 35% was about my limit on pitching. Now I usually try to stay within 48-52 percent on either offense or pitching.
Also, I don't draft as much on-base percentage as in the past, as its price has gone up, but there are still a few that I add to my lineups. Until the last 6-8 months, the home stadiums I chose were almost exclusively pitching friendly.
My lineups are usually high average, little home run power, but plenty of doubles with a few players that hit triples fairly well.
WIS: Do you draw on the influence or philosophy of any actual general managers or managers?
mensu1954: No, at least not intentionally.
WIS: Have you settled on a general strategy that you use across your teams and leagues, or does your strategy continue to evolve?
mensu1954: My settings aren't anything special, in fact they rarely change. I'm not a huge Hit and Run person, so a 1 setting is a max. Stealing bases was a huge part of my strategy as a head coach at the high school level, but here nearly every owner has a great arm behind the plate. That being said, the stolen base is not a huge part of my strategy. The double switch setting is always "0". My pull settings for pitchers are usually "1" for my better starting pitchers and "2" if they are average. Bullpen settings are "4" for my average or worse relievers, but "3" for my better pitchers.
WIS: Are there any players in specific that you like to put on your teams?
mensu1954: Believe it or not, I love to put 1970 Roberto Pena (235K) on most of my teams. He plays all of the infield positions with good hands and mostly D+ range. He also hits .259, so he isn't an automatic out.
Others include 1923 Eddie Collins, 1998 David Bell, 1912 Tris Speaker, 1911 Ty Cobb, 1988 Wade Boggs, and 1899 Ed Delahanty. Pitchers include 1910 Ed Walsh, 1888 Elton Chamberlain, 1960 Marshall Bridges, 2006 Cla Meredith, 2008 Mariano Rivera, 1904 Joe McGinnity, and 1992 Cal Eldred.
WIS: Do you make transactions during the season to try and separate yourself from others?
mensu1954: Most leagues I play in don't allow WW moves. But if so, I rarely make any moves.
WIS: How much time do you spend on your SimLeague Baseball teams? How much do you think is necessary to be competitive?
mensu1954: Since I've retired, probably 2-4 hours a day and sometimes more if drafting in 2-3 progressives at once.
I don't really think there is a necessary amount of time in order to be successful. Research in order to draft well is the most important part of being successful and is where I put most of my time. Otherwise, just checking my teams' fatigue and upcoming opponents' main players (Starting pitchers, catcher, etc.), and adjusting individual players' settings is about it for me.
WIS: If you were to give one piece of advice to a new user, what would it be?
mensu1954: Read the forums for advice there are several different ways to win. Don't be afraid to ask questions of experienced and successful owners. There are several glad to help.
WIS: What is your favorite aspect of SimLeague Baseball?
mensu1954: Interacting with other owners. Progressives are a great place to kind of "get to know" the owners behind their screen names.
WIS: Least favorite?
mensu1954: Owners that bail from a progressive where they basically ruin a team and then drop out of sight. There are several that are known to do that with multiple teams.
WIS: What is one feature you want to see implemented in a future update?
mensu1954: More search options when drafting a team. Some may think 8 boxes is enough, but that forces an owner to leave out some very desirable search options. I would like to see 12 at least.
WIS: Who are the users you respect and/or enjoy the most?
mensu1954: I apologize to any I leave out as it is not intentional. Bootone, TumH20_Bops, skonley, Donburgh, jfranco77, skunk206, Tucker T's, rooskie, tridentric, coled, sheller, gorbyruss, slim senior, thejuice6, and italyprof.
WIS: If you were in one of our games, what sport would you play, at what position, and what would you be rated?
mensu1954: Definitely baseball. Even though I played both SS and OF, the latter was my best position. The best description for my ability would be "Good Glove-slightly below average hitter" (Darn those wicked sliders!).
I would be a number 4 outfielder, sent in for defense and/or a spot starter. B/B- fielder, a hitter with little HR power, but with a good eye something around a .235 average and .350 on-base pct and able to put the ball in play. Probably around 150-175 PA and a $1M salary.
WIS: Many thanks to mensu1954 for his time and conributions to WhatIfSports.com.

[Verse 1: Macklemore]
I used to sit with my dad in the garage
That sawdust, that Pinesol, and the moss
Around every spring, when the winter thawed
We'd huddle around the radio, twist the broken knob
710 AM, no KJR. Dave Niehaus' voice would echo throughout the yard
Couldn't have been older than 10
But to me and my friends
The voice on the other end might as well have been God's
1995, the Division Series
Edgar's up to bat
Bottom of the 11th inning
Got the whole town listening
"Swung on and belted," the words distorted. "Joey Cora rounds third!
Here comes Griffey! The throw to the plate's not in time!
My, oh my, the Mariners win it!"
Yes. Fireworks, they lit up that ceiling in the Kingdome
We had just made history
[Interlude: Dave Niehaus]
"Swung on and lined down the left field line for a base hit! Here comes Joey! Here comes Junior to third base! They're gonna wave him in! The throw to the plate will be… late! The Mariners are going to play for the American League Championship! I don't believe it! It just continues! My, oh my!"
[Verse 2: Macklemore]
Laces woven, barely holdin' that stitch
The creases of time amongst the grime and the grit
Where the leather he used to pound his fists
To some it's just a mitt, but see that glove was him
Yep, tell me stories on the field, with that sun-stained brim
Blood under my chin, he taught me how to spit
Sunflower seeds back with me and my crew
Sunburnt arms
Big League Chew
Yeah we were like, The Sandlot after dinner
After practice we'd listen
To the M's in the kitchen
And if mom wasn't trippin'
"Come on dad! Please, I swear, just one more inning!"
Voice went "pump, pump!" through the system
"Break out the rye bread! It's grand salami time!"
"My, oh my! Another victory!"
Yes. My city, my city
Childhood, my life watchin' Griffey right under those lights
[Verse 3: Macklemore]
Under that light rain, gleaming in that night game, can't stop now
Keep moving, no brake pads!
Came here to prove a point, live my life on the field
Make history in between the base paths
And compete against the fear that is in me that's my only barrier and I swear that I'mma break that!
From the mud
The cleats that we drug
Through the feet
This is that moment, and you can't take it back
I don't really collect cards anymore, just a box and some old cardboard
Memories embedded in the dust, in the fibres that age just like us
Livin' somewhere off in the drawer
This is what you make of it. Yeah, we play to win
Live it like we're under the lights of the stadium
Fight until the day that God decides to wave us in
Right, until he waves us in
It's my city, my city, childhood, my life. That's right
Under those lights
My city, my city, childhood, that's right. Niehaus, "My, oh my!"
Come on. My city, my city, childhood, my life. That's right, under those lights
It's my city, my city, childhood, my life, Niehaus. My, oh my. Rest in peace
In December 2010, he released a tribute song named "My Oh My" for then recently deceased Seattle Mariners broadcaster Dave Niehaus, which has received extensive coverage in Seattle media sources. Macklemore performed the song at the 2011 Mariner's Opening Day on April 8.

About Crime
Proclaiming themselves as "San Francisco's first and only rock & roll band," Crime was a forerunner in America's do-it-yourself punk history, releasing their first single in late 1976. Though they never referred to themselves as punk (a term they felt was a media concoction), Crime had all the elements of a classic punk band, with their snotty attitude and garage rock-meets-Raw Power-era Stooges sound. Guitarists Johnny Strike and Frankie Fix began rehearsing and learning their instruments together in 1975, with the idea of forming a glam rock group named the Space Invaders and appearing around town in extreme outfits. By the time Ron "The Ripper" Greco joined (Greco was a veteran of many '60s bands, notably the Chosen Few, who would evolve into the Flamin' Groovies), the glitter rock era had ended and the band opted to change their image -- now donning black leathers -- and change their name to Crime. Once drummer Ricky Tractor (now deceased) came aboard, Crime's first lineup was in place.
The band's initial recording session took place in mid-1976, which yielded the contents of the "Hot Wire My Heart" b/w "Baby You're So Repulsive" 45. They made their live debut at a gay political fund-raiser on Halloween, 1976; the plug was pulled during the fifth song, as many were headed for the exits. After the release of the "Hot Wire" 7" on their own Crime Music label, they began appearing regularly at Mabuhay Gardens, a Filipino nightclub that would become the epicenter of San Francisco's punk scene. But Crime were outcasts within a group of outsiders, making high profile enemies early on and often. By 1977 they had begun sporting standard police uniforms at live dates and on the streets of San Francisco, much to the dismay of the San Francisco police department. A second vinyl release, "Frustration" b/w "Murder by Guitar" (with Brittley Black on drums), came out in mid-1977, again on Crime Music. Out-of-town gigs were sporadic, though the group did perform at San Quentin Penitentiary in full police garb. Studio recording continued, but they found little interest from labels, due in part to their antisocial behavior; Fix alienated Seymour Stein of Sire Records by informing him that he was wasting his time with the Ramones, and that they were "hippies who should get haircuts." A third and final single, "Gangster Funk" b/w "Maserati," was delivered via the independent Berkeley Squared, and found the band using a synthesizer, which was also incorporated into their live show. Crime soldiered on for a brief period before quietly disbanding in 1982. "Hot Wire my Heart was covered by art-punks Sonic Youth on their Sister LP in 1987. A posthumous collection, San Francisco's Doomed, containing unreleased studio sessions from 1978 and 1979 (with Hank Rank handling the drum duties), was let loose in 1992. The same year, Spirit Records re-released the first two 45s in limited editions. Hate Us or Love Us, We Don't Give a Fuck is a legit issue (with four bonus tracks) of the Terminal Boredom bootleg. In 2002, guitarist Johnny Strike's band TVH released their debut record, Night Raid on Lisbon. The record recaptured some of Crime's energy and included a cover of "Hot Wire My Heart" for good measure. Strike died in September 2018 at age 70 after a long bout with cancer. ~ Bart Bealmear

text: While out on a dinner date with his husband earlier this week, Blake Loates from Alberta, Canada was shocked to find the words "You Retard" printed on the cap of her VitaminWater bottle. Outraged, Loates' father Blake, whose youngest daughter has been living with cerebral palsy and autism, then sent off an angry letter to Coca-Cola's board of directors to demand answers, to which the company responded with an apology to the Loates and an explanation that makes the story even more bizarre and incredulous. According to CocaCola Canada's spokesperson, the unfortunate wording on the cap was an unintended byproduct of a promo campaign that involves pairing up a random English word with a random French word, which by chance happened to be "retard," meaning "late" or "delayed."

I travelled up to London tonight for a multi-author signing event at Forbidden Planet, also known as the 'mingle' as the authors brushed shoulders with the great unwashed without the benefit of a desk to cower behind. The evening was the idea of author David Devereux, whose new book Eagle Rising (pimped by Graeme here) was being launched and he decided to invite along a bunch of other authors to turn it into a bit of a mini-SF con in the bowels of FP.
The other attending authors were the omnipresent Joe Abercrombie (who heroically strove to sell people copies of the 'new editions' of The First Law - where the typeface and font on the front cover are slightly different), Jaine Fenn, Suzanne McLeod, Mark Chadbourn, Alex Bell, Jon Courtney Grimwood, Steven Savile, Tom Lloyd and James Swallow. Also present, but only in a supporting capacity, were Chris Wooding and the ultra-popular Robert Rankin. Many books were bought, more were signed and much fun was had by all.
No scoops from the publishers this time. I did hear from Gollancz's dark lord Simon Spanton that Ian McDonald's The Dervish House (which will do for Turkey what River of Gods did for India and Brasyl did for, erm, Brazil) is now a 2010 release rather than a late 2009 one, but that's about it for insider info.
I did pick up a lot of books at the event and correspondingly hope to get my reading back in gear shortly as it's been taking a battering in favour of DVDs and computer games in the post-Christmas period.
EDIT: A slight amendment to reflect the fact that the evening was arranged by David and Danie from Forbidden Planet, and a most enjoyable evening it was as well.

I like how Mark Chadbourne is wearing the wrong name tag....
Also, I think Abercrombie just let one rip. Seems appropriate.

Aidan, that'll be because we all started swapping name tags as we got near the end of the signing. I was Joe Abercrombie for a while, then Alex Bell for a few seconds before turning into Tom Lloyd.
Yes, it got a bit silly. But we all had as much fun as the readers seemed to, so I'd call that a win.

UNH Law hosts symposium on how the Constitution keeps up with the times
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) � The University of New Hampshire School of Law is hosting a symposium on how the U.S. Constitution keeps up with modern-day developments.
The symposium is part of an ongoing series of civics discussions titled Constitutionally Speaking.
The pilot project is a collaborative effort of the New Hampshire Humanities Council, the New Hampshire Supreme Court Society the law school and the newly formed New Hampshire Institute for Civic Education � spearheaded by retired U.S. Justice David Souter.
The series launched in September with a conversation between Souter and PBS newswoman Margaret Warner, after which the public had a rare opportunity to question Souter about the high court and its cases.
Saturday's symposium features nine constitutional scholars.
The conference runs until 3 p.m. and is free to the public.

The Motorola DROID RAZR review
The Motorola DROID RAZR was unleashed onto an unsuspecting public last week. The DROID RAZR picked up where the original RAZR left off, attempting to bring a 4.3″ superphone in an incredibly thin package. Though they managed to keep the phone slim and sleek, the RAZR also offers solid protection, with Gorilla Glass protecting the main display, and Kevlar coating protecting the RAZR's backside.
Only 3 days after launch, the RAZR received its first dose of competition when Verizon released the powerful HTC Rezound with Beats Audio. The competition is not letting up either, with the Android flagship Galaxy Nexus set to launch on Big Red in the next few weeks. Does the DROID RAZR do enough to set itself apart from these devices? Read on for our full review.
1. Battery Life
Battery life has been the Achilles heel of all of Verizon's 4G LTE smartphones to date. We have yet to find a device that can get us through the work day without needing to be plugged into an outlet somewhere along the way. Without adjusting any settings on the device, the DROID RAZR looked to fall in line with this trend, netting me about 6-8 hours of moderate use before needing to scramble for my power cord.
With the RAZR, Motorola (and/or Verizon) decided to combat this trend with an easy to use tool called Smart Actions. Smart Actions is an application that allows you to either build your own or select from a list of pre-set rules that control the settings of your device. You can set your phone to vibrate via location, turn your ringer off after a certain time at night, launch the news in the morning, and most importantly, set your device in battery saver or battery extender modes to maximize your battery life.
For purposes of testing battery life, I have the battery extender and low battery saver functions active. The low battery saver dims my display to 25%, turns GPS off, and disables background sync when my battery is at less than 20% and is not currently charging. The battery extender simply turns off GPS and background sync when the display is off, the phone is not charging, and the device is not moving around.
So what have these two settings done for my battery life? I've been using the RAZR like I normally do in a day, and I still have 30% battery after 14 hours of use. With only a few tweaks, I was able to double my battery life and in such a way that it doesn't interfere with my normal usage.
As a result, the DROID RAZR is the first 4G LTE smartphone to receive a positive rating in the battery life category.
2. Performance
The DROID RAZR is running a 1.2 GHz TI OMAP 4430 processor and the RAZR was easily able to handle any task I threw at it quickly and with ease. Applications and games ran smoothly, video playback was excellent, and lagging was nowhere to be found.
Though there will certainly be (and indeed, already are) phones out there that have faster and arguably better processing power, the DROID RAZR does not disappoint in the performance department.
3. Call Quality
First and foremost, the RAZR is a phone. In an era where many individuals use their cell phones as home phone replacements, it's important that these devices make proper phone calls. (You'll be happy to know that I was able to make and receive calls without a hitch)
While testing the RAZR, I looked at both call quality and speakerphone quality, and found both to be very good. On the call quality end, I was able to hear people on the other end of the line loud and clear, and they reported being able to hear me as well. No static, no hiccups, everything just worked.
The speakerphone was about as good as we've seen from other Android devices. The voices were a little tinny or muffled some of the time, but overall the device performed well and calls made via speakerphone were clear most of the time.
4. Display
Though there have been other sites that have dinged the RAZR in this category because of how poor text looks when zoomed in on a single letter, we note that the display on the RAZR is gorgeous. Colors are bright and vivid, making viewing websites, running applications, reading books, and viewing video content an enjoyable experience.
Never was this more apparent than when placing my Photon 4G next to the DROID RAZR. The RAZR's 4.3″ qHD Super AMOLED Advanced display put my Photon to shame, and anyone who tells you the display on the RAZR is subpar should be on the next train to the looney bin.
I can't say this enough; if you purchase the DROID RAZR, you will not be disappointed in the display, as it's one of the better ones I've seen in a long time.
5. Build Quality
The RAZR is the thinnest LTE device on the market to date, and is easily one of the thinnest devices period. In order to protect this level of thinness on most of the device, the RAZR has the same lip we've come to expect from the DROID X series. The camera, microUSB and microHDMI ports are at the top of the device, pushing the power button to the right side along with the volume rocker.
Though the RAZR is thin, the phone feels solid in the hand. Oh, and it is toting Kevlar backing. Motorola really didn't scrimp on the build quality for the RAZR, and for that we give it a plus one for this section.
6. Software - Motorola's Don't call me BLUR UI
I know what you're thinking – no, I'm not giving up on my "don't call me BLUR" moniker. It just sounds cooler than Motorola's Gingerbread UI overlay. I'm sure by now you're sick of hearing about GingerBLUR, so we'll keep this section short, sweet, and to the point.
Motorola has come a long way from the MOTOBLUR days, and the Gingerbread version of Motorola's oft-beguiled overlay really tones down the things that caused BLUR to fail so hard in the past. If the thought of BLUR gives you the shudders, you may want to reconsider. Perhaps it's done more than its fair share of growing on me, but I'd happily call GingerBLUR one of my favorite UI overlays (though I still want Motorola to go stock Android.
7. Camera Quality
Most people out there want their cameras to reliably replaces the need for a standard point and shoot camera. Sadly, we're not quite there yet, and the DROID RAZR particularly fails to impress except when under ideal lighting conditions. When taking pictures indoors, the resulting images turned out grainy and a little distorted, even when the flash was engaged. Outdoor photos and videos in normal sunlight turned out much better.
You can check out a few sample photos from the RAZR's camera in the gallery below, as well as the following sample video. If you do pick up the DROID RAZR, you'll probably want to hang on to that point and shoot. Overall, we've dinged the RAZR another half point for camera quality.
We've not tried to hide the fact that Verizon has the biggest, fastest, wide-reaching, and all around best 4G network by far. Even with more and more devices on Verizon's network, I still manage to experience data speeds around 12-20 mbps down, 3-10 mbps up. Simply put, Verizon's LTE network provides many of its users with faster internet connections than they have in their own home.
The best part of Verizon's LTE network is that it penetrates buildings better than any other carrier's 4G network. I regularly have 3-4 bars of Verizon 4G in areas where I revert to 3G or Edge on Sprint/T-Mobile. AT&T has an LTE network as well, though it's only live in a handful of markets at this point in time.
9. Non-Removable Battery
Though Motorola included the Smart Actions application as a means to boost the RAZR's battery life, they removed the ability to remove the backplate and change out the battery. If your battery goes bad, or you want to get an extended battery, you're simply out of luck.
Honestly, this move baffles me. Every single Android device I've used has required me to pull the battery to reset the device when it was acting up (as most smartphones tend to do from time to time). Pulling the battery was a simple and effective solution that always fixed whatever ailment was plaguing the device, and the device always ran smoother after a hard reset.
You can still do a hard reset by holding down the Power and Volume down buttons, and hopefully that will work 90-100% of the time, but not allowing users to pull their battery (or have a second battery/extended battery) is simply a puzzling move on Motorola's part, and several users will likely be turned off by this. As a result, we've docked the RAZR another half point in this category.
10. NFC (or lack thereof)
Google is doing some wonderful things in Ice Cream Sandwich, specifically when it comes to NFC. The fact that the DROID RAZR does not include an NFC chip prevents it from doing things like using your cell phone to pay for things at multiple stores via Google Wallet, payments between Android devices, or unlock your house if you left your keys inside. The lack of NFC gives the RAZR a ding in this category.
Final Thoughts
I wanted to like the RAZR more than I actually ended up liking the RAZR. The RAZR is a solid device, and performs very well in most areas that matter, but fails to impress in one of the most important areas – camera quality.
With the HTC Rezound already out, and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus coming soon, the RAZR finds itself facing pretty massive competition, and has only its sleek, thin body and battery extending Smart Actions application as its primary differentiating factors. We should have our review of the HTC Rezound up in the next week or so, and will get some hands-on time with the Galaxy Nexus after that. If these phones perform as well as we expect them too, the RAZR just might be left behind when it comes to sales.
The DROID RAZR is currently available for Verizon Wireless for $299.99 with new 2 year contract.

Coach Jon Ireland has no plans to watch the game film of the Lipscomb Lady Bisons 1-0 loss to Austin Peay.
"There is nothing we can learn from this game," Ireland said Monday night on the way back to Nashville from Clarksville. "This game was not indicative of our team is and what our team is going to be."
When the Lady Bisons and Austin Peay Governors meet in women's soccer one thing is constant _ no matter who wins no one is going to score more than a goal or two.
The Lady Bisons managed only two shots on goal with Kate Spellman and Danielle Bethke each getting one shot on goal. But that was not because the new 3-4-3 pressure attack was no effective.
The problem was that the Lady Bisons did not have enough healthy players to have any substitutes available.
"Our players' legs were tired," Ireland said. "Five minutes into the game we went back to a low pressure system. We didn't have the numbers to run a high pressure style."
Michele Johnson scored the lone goal of the game at 72:02 of the second half.
Lady Bisons goalkeeper Erin Zerio made seven saves.
"We hung in there for awhile," Ireland said. "We fought hard. We just don't have enough healthy players."
In their first two games of the season Austin Peay, 2-1, has not given up and goal and has only allowed two shots on goal.
Austin Peay holds a 6-2-1 series advantage.
The Lady Bisons, 1-1, are back in action Friday night at 7 when Tennessee Martin visits the Lipscomb Soccer Complex. Sunday afternoon at 2 Jackson State will visit.

The U.S. reclaimed the top spot in the World Giving Index last year as proportionally more Americans contributed in some way than in any other country.
The U.S. last held first place in the rankings in 2010, before ceding the spot to Australia in 2011.
The key reason for its ascendancy was that a higher proportion of Americans helped a stranger than citizens of any other country in 2012.
The 2013 report, published by Charities Aid Foundation, examined three aspects of giving behavior, asking respondents whether they had done the following in the past month:
- Donated money to a charity
- Volunteered time to an organization
- Helped a stranger, or someone they didn't know who needed help
Data in the new report came from Gallup's World View World Poll, an ongoing research project carried out in 135 countries in 2012.
According to the index, the average percentage of people donating money, volunteering time and helping a stranger globally all grew in 2012 in relation to 2011, despite a fall in the global economy's rate of growth from 4% to 3.2%.
The overall rise in charitable activity last year was driven by the increase in people helping a stranger. In particular, more men played Good Samaritan globally in 2012 than in 2011.
The number of people who helped others grew by some 200 million in 2012, more than double the growth in the number of those who donated money and volunteered.
Since 2011, the biggest increase in volunteerism has occurred among 15– to 24-year-olds. In 2012, this age group was second most likely to volunteer, a big turnaround from being the least likely in 2008.
Although each type of giving increased between 2011 and 2012, the global level of engagement remained below the highest on record. Monetary donations, in particular, lagged behind the 2008 level.
The index rankings showed a systemic shift taking place in global giving: rising engagement in developing nations across all three giving activities as well as growing populations.
India and China appear at, or near, the top of the 2012 rankings in terms of the actual number of people giving in each category. Populous developing economies such as Indonesia and Thailand feature strongly in the top 10 countries for the proportion of people giving money, while Sri Lanka and the Philippines are in the top 10 for volunteering.
Since 2008, women have become more likely than men to donate money to charity at a global level, according to the index. Meanwhile, the gender gap in terms of propensity to volunteer was the same last year as it was in 2008. However, proportionally, more men were helping strangers than ever before.
The index recommended the following to governments around the world:
- Ensure not-for-profit organizations are regulated in a fair, consistent and open way
- Make it easy for people to give, and offer incentives for giving where possible
- Promote civil society as an independent voice in public life, and respect the right of not-for-profit groups to campaign
- Ensure not-for-profits are transparent and inform the public about their work
- Encourage charitable giving as nations develop their economies, taking advantage of the world's growing middle classes.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Diego Fagundez and Lee Nguyen scored 10 minutes apart midway through the second half and Bobby Shuttleworth recorded his second shutout of the season to lift the New England Revolution to a 2-0 win over the Philadelphia Union on Saturday night at Gillette Stadium.
It was a fitting result on a night when the Revolution played its first home game since both the bombings at the Boston Marathon and since defender Kevin Alston was diagnosed with a rare but treatable form of leukemia. The evening featured tributes to both during a touching pregame ceremony and throughout the match.
The win was the first-ever for the Revolution (2-3-2, 8 pts.) over the Union (3-3-2, 11 pts.) after going winless in eight previous meetings.
For the first time this season the Revolution was forced to change its central defensive pairing as Stephen McCarthy stepped in to partner Jose Goncalves with A.J. Soares (R hamstring strain) sidelined.
Kelyn Rowe nearly opened the scoring for the Revs in the ninth minute when Nguyen's low cross found him free six yards from goal, but Rowe scuffed the shot and popped his effort over the crossbar. Seven minutes later Kalifa Cisse went agonizingly close when his shot from the middle of the box flew inches wide.
The Revs continued to press and forced back-to-back saves out of Union goalkeeper Zac MacMath in the 22nd minute. Fagundez latched onto a defensive mistake and drilled a low shot from a tight angle which MacMath kicked away, while Jerry Bengtson put a header on target from the following corner kick.
After absorbing pressure for much of the first half, Philadelphia almost snatched a goal just before the interval. Michael Farfan used a nifty move to shake free inside the box and had a clear look at goal, but Shuttleworth came up with a huge save to tip the ball over the crossbar. Five minutes later Shuttleworth was massive again when he denied Danny Cruz as he streaked onto a through ball.
Gillette Stadium sprang to life in the 61st minute when Fagundez finally opened the scoring, giving the Revs their first goal in their third home game. Nguyen's clever pass into the right side of the box released Rowe, whose cutback to the penalty spot found Fagundez for a cool finish past MacMath.
After waiting more than two-and-a-half games for their first goal at home, the Revs waited just 10 more minutes for their second as Nguyen doubled the Revolution's lead to 2-0 in the 71st minute. Nguyen started the move by sending Saer Sene into the box and when Sene's initial shot was saved, Nguyen was on hand to sweep home the rebound.
Shuttleworth made one last important save in the 84th minute when he dove to tip Jack McInerney's shot around the post and preserve the shutout, New England's fourth in seven games this season.
The Revs head back on the road next week for a rare Thursday night meeting with the Portland Timbers.

I know, I'm pretty excited. I'll probably reserve, you?
I have searched high and low for the answer if a Model X will be able to use the supercharging locations for free, as the Model S does? Is there an answer out there?
Nope. I'm assuming that it will also, but you know the old saying about assuming.
Of course it will. Think about it. None of the supercharging locations have any form of payment option installed. Any vehicle that has supercharging enabled will be able to charge there. Now the price of the Model X is roughly equal to or slightly more than the Model S so on can assume with absolute certainty that if the feature is offered on the Model S then it will be offered on the Model X. They aren't spending millions upon millions installing all of these stations just for the benefit of only one of their models. But to correct you it's technically not free the business model they went with is prepay. It costs the buyer 2,000 to enable supercharging with their Model S purchase.
Elon has answered this in the affirmative in public, I believe. All Tesla owners (of equipped cars) have free lifetime access.
Elon has also said that all cars can charge at 120kWh at Superchargers but that's not exactly true now is it Brian? ;-)
Just trying to point out that it's a good idea to take what Elon says with a grain of salt once in a while and UNTIL specifications are released perhaps it would be best NOT to speculate.
Did no one notice that this thread was necroposted to, from 2 years ago?
Model. X will absolutely have Supercharging capability. That is a no-brainer. Whether all buyers will have it enabled without an addition charge is the question. Tesla isn't investing all of the time and money into Superchargers to not take advantage of them. They are Tesla's best selling tool beyond the cars themselves.
...but if you don't believe what they and logic says then there isn't much point to discussing it untill you can actually configure an X.
