Project Laser Beam (PLB) is a five-year, multi-million dollar public-private partnership that seeks to eradicate child malnutrition. It brings together the expertise of UN agencies with that of Fortune 500 companies, and others in the private sector, to work with local governments and companies to find new solutions to old problems.
PLB was unveiled in September 2009 by PLB founding partners WFP, Unilever, Mondelez International Foundation (formerly Kraft Foods Foundation), DSM and the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) by US President Bill Clinton at the Clinton Global Initiative meeting in New York.
The pilot projects will focus initially on Bangladesh and Indonesia. These are countries where there are unacceptably high rates of child malnutrition, but also a demonstrated | commitment by the government to tackle the problem. PLB partners will be able to assist as these are also countries where they have a presence and the ability to leverage existing resources and knowledge.
The projects will centre around three main pillars: food, hygiene and behavioural change. Specifically, work will include | [

|Anti-government protests have continued across the country despite a security crackdown [Reuters]
Syrian government tanks have resumed shelling in the town of Deir ez-Zour a day after at least 17 protesters were reportedly killed across the country, activists said.
Syrian security forces stormed the area of al-Busaira in Deir ez-Zour on Thursday amid heavy gunfire, conducting house-to-house searches, said the Local Co-ordinating Committees of Syria (LCC), a group of activists representing provinces across the country.
Despite the crackdown, anti-government protests are ongoing across the country.
| Tanks and armoured vehicles have entered Shuhail, a town southeast of the provincial capital of Deir ez-Zour, which has seen daily protests against President Bashar al-Assad's rule since the start of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, a local activist said.
"Initial reports by residents describe tens of tanks firing randomly as they stormed the town at dawn. Shuhail has been very active in protests and the regime is using overwhelming force to frighten the people," activists said.

RA Equality Policy
The Royal Armouries believes in the provision of equality of opportunity and has a commitment to providing transparent, meaningful, educational access and linked services to all.
The Royal Armouries Museum welcomes the new structures under development in the DCMS papers on equality, diversity, disability, gender, age and race. These mark turning points in response to the many needs of the wider public as a whole, and when implemented should become agents of change and a force for good.
All educational institutions, or sponsored bodies such as the Royal Armouries owe a general duty of care to the public, which they serve. After all, it is one of the reasons why museums, galleries and archives receive funding from Central Government. However, we believe that these papers when subsumed into an overarching equal opportunities policy, take up a much stronger position with regard to the way museums should operate in the coming months, and in the future years.
It is with pleasure that one can remark on the decisive | nature of this document; in particular that equality and diversity pursue targets ‘beyond fairness’. The Royal Armouries welcomes this statement in particular as it generates the spirit in which this document has been devised.

A "Gran" Slam
ALBANY - The Republican-controlled state Senate yesterday unanimously approved the "Granny Bill" to increase penalties for attacks against senior citizens - but it appeared the proposal would be dead on arrival in the Assembly.
The bill would make it an automatic felony to assault someone older than 70. It comes after two elderly women - including a feisty 101-year-old - were brutally beaten and robbed in Queens.
Sheldon Silver, the Assembly's Democratic speaker, has balked at backing the proposed legislation - and yesterday's vote apparently did not change his mind.
"The bill in front of the Senate... does nothing to further punish the perpetrators of these crimes," insisted Silver spokeswoman Sisa Moyo.
"The Senate bill creates class E and D felonies, while the thug guilty of this heinous crime will be charged with robbery, a class C violent felony" carrying a greater sentence.
But state Sen. Martin Golden (R-Brooklyn) said, "Criminals, cowards to be more exact, need to know that if they target and assault senior citizens, they will go to jail for a long, long | time."
Silver's refusal to budge drew an unusual response from even a member of his own party.
"I'm sending an SOS to the other chamber," said Sen. Ruben Diaz Sr. (D-Bronx), referring to the Assembly.
"I'm asking my fellow members in the Assembly to take this bill as their own and to pass this bill."
Cops believe one perpetrator is responsible for both muggings. He has yet to be caught.

Power was coming back Wednesday afternoon to some areas toward the southernmost tip Lower Manhattan, but most residents and businesses below Midtown remained in the dark.
A new study has showed that young professionals have been drawn to Lower Manhattan like a magnet – in a very positive change after the area suffered from job losses following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
Undercover FBI agents arrested an 18-year-old American man who tried to detonate what he believed was a car bomb outside a downtown Chicago bar, federal prosecutors said Saturday.
I know that $9 is not cheap for a hero, but you do get a lot of bang for the buck. On a base of fresh, rare roast beef were long blocks of cheddar cheese, sliced cherry tomatoes, arugula, red onions and horseradish aioli
In each of the incidents, police said the suspect broke a hole in a side wall or door to gain access to the business. Once he got inside, the suspect stole cash and property before fleeing the scene.

The Rydex S&P 500 Pure Growth ETF (NYSEArca:RPG - News) aims to deliver a purer version of the garden-variety growth fund. With over $313 million in assets and five years of return history, RPG has established itself as a viable choice for those wanting “growthier” growth, as Carolyn Hill touched on in her recent blog.
The idea behind RPG is simple. Most style funds split their pool of stocks into growth or value, meaning every stock gets assigned to one or the other.
The stocks that live in the middle of the style continuum have their weight split between the two style buckets. Effectively these fence-sitting stocks are both growth and value. An individual stock might be assigned to 60 percent in growth and 40 percent in value, for example.
RPG dispenses with middle-of-the-road stocks altogether. Instead it holds only those companies that exhibit the “true” growth characteristics, as defined by its methodology.
In some ways, RPG's approach seems intuitive and unremarkable. After all, the ubiquitous style box visually suggests this type of arrangement, even though it's not the norm for popular growth funds like IVW.
The Usual Suspects
Funds that stray off | the beaten path to deliver high returns often use higher-beta and smaller-cap stocks to get there. Let's look at RPG along these lines, again using IVW as a reference.
First, does pure growth mean higher beta?

The founding father of Tanztheater
On the brink of World War II, German choreographer Kurt Jooss arrived in New York with his company to perform. Before curtain, Jooss learned that some black audience members had been barred from their seats. Jooss told the theater administration that unless they amended their whites-only policy, | there would be no show. The theater obliged and the show went on. It was this sense of injustice that fueled Jooss’ artistry and led to a new form of dance theater, which paved the way for the work of Pina Bausch and choreographers working today, like Suzanne Linke and Mats Ek.
A natural leader and independent thinker, Jooss (1901–1979) helped develop what is now known as German Tanztheater, an expressive dance style that combined movement, text and | [

METHODISM IN THE UNITED STATES There are in the United States sixteen distinct Methodist denominations, all agreeing essentially in doctrine. John Wesley had been conducting his United Societies for more than twenty years before the movement took root in North America.
The first American Conference was held in 1773, and consisted of ten preachers, all of whom were born in England or Ireland. Asbury came to America to remain permanently; but Rankin, unable to identify himself with its people, to take the test oaths required in the Revolution, or to sympathize with the colonies, returned to England, as did all the English preachers except As bury. By May 1776 there were 24 preachers and 4,921 members; but in the first year of the Revolution there was a loss of 7 preachers and nearly i,000 members.
The preachers in the South determined upon administration of the sacraments, and a committee was chosen whose members ordained themselves and others. The Northern preachers opposed this step and for several years the Connexion was on the verge of disruption. An | agreement was finally made to suspend the
administration until Wesley's desires and judgment should be ascertained. He perceived that the society would disintegrate unless effective measures were speedily taken, and early in 1784 he ordained Thomas Coke (1747-1814), already in orders of the Church of England, as superintendent.

If it wasn’t for earthquakes, humans wouldn’t have innovated architecture

OTTAWA — Stephen Harper will be going about his day-to-day routine in Ottawa while Canada’s premiers and territorial leaders meet without him in Halifax this week.
For months, the premiers have publicly called on Harper to attend their economic forum this Thursday and Friday to no avail.
Harper’s staff confirmed to The Chronicle Herald that he does not have any special events or announcements planned during the days of the meeting.
“He’ll be in the House this week tending to the business of the nation,” said Harper’s director of communications, Andrew MacDougall.
MacDougall said the prime minister already meets with premiers regularly when they come to Ottawa and when he travels the country.
Premier Darrell Dexter said prime ministers have been reluctant to meet with the premiers because it has turned out to be an uncomfortable experience in the past. But he said the summit was intentionally designed to avoid premiers ganging up on the prime minister to ask for more money.
Dexter said the talks were structured to | have all the provinces and Ottawa figure out how they can best work together to help Canada’s economy.
“We wanted to ensure that there was a fence around what we were doing,” he said. “This was not going to be wide-ranging, it was not going to be about transfers, it was not going to be about the complaints of premiers.
“All those things can take place in another form. We wanted specifically to talk about the economy.”

Good news for Dish Network subscribers: Your set-top DVR will keep collecting missed episodes of "Mad Men" and "American Idol" under terms of a $500 million settlement announced today between the satellite TV provider and TiVo Inc.
TiVo has won every round in court since it first filed suit against Dish Network and sister company EchoStar in 2004, saying Dish had copied elements of TiVo's Time Warp recording technology.
Things looked really grim for Dish's DVR-loving customers last year after a federal appeals court ordered Dish Network to disable DVR service and pay $90 million plus royalties. Dish will pay Tivo half a billion dollars to preserve customers' ability to record "Seinfeld" and SportsCenter for later viewing.
The | ginormous tab is an indication of how important DVR has become in the television universe, where "TiVo" is already a verb. And it provides a glimpse of what Dish may do with Blockbuster Video, which it bought out of bankruptcy last month.
In announcing the settlement, the companies said that TiVo will play a role in developing and promoting the Blockbuster digital video service and other "exciting strategic initiatives." This will all supposedly coordinate somehow in what Dish founder and CEO Charlie Ergen described as "the Seinfeld strategy."

Hurricane Sandy has churned northward through the northern Caribbean, across Cuba, and through the Bahamas during the past three days, leaving in its wake plenty of mayhem. Sandy's story may not yet be finished.
While it is quite normal to see tropical cyclones rear their ugly heads across the Caribbean during October and even into November, these storms normally will track northward for a short time before turning harmlessly off to the northeast, into the Atlantic.
The Weather Channel has this special coverage.
Thanks to a large roadblock in the upper atmosphere across the North Atlantic and eastern Canada during the next several days, it appears Hurricane Sandy will not make an escape away from the U.S. East Coast. Blocking high pressure at upper levels from Atlantic Canada to southern Greenland and the North Atlantic as well as a strong upper-level low-pressure area through the east-central Atlantic will combine with a developing upper-level trough through the eastern U.S. to steer the storm into the northeast coast.
The strong upper-level trough diving into | the eastern U.S. will likely close off into an upper-level low through the Mid-Atlantic region by Monday and capture Sandy as it moves northeastward then northward through the western Atlantic.

The Obama administration on Friday finalized new consumer safeguards for health insurance that impose tighter restrictions on what insurers can charge older customers, despite industry warnings that the young may be forced to pay more as a result.
The Department of Health and Human Services rejected an industry request to phase in a reform prohibiting insurers from charging older beneficiaries premiums more than three times higher than those available to younger adults.
The so-called 3:1 ratio, due to take effect in 2014 in the individual and small-group markets, is a cornerstone of consumer safeguards enshrined in the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The law also bars insurers from policies that discriminate on the basis of gender and pre-existing conditions.
Health insurers, which often charge adults over age 50 far higher rates, | had asked HHS to start out with a 5:1 ratio in 2014 and move gradually to the tighter 3:1 ratio over a number of years, saying too abrupt a change would cause rates for younger beneficiaries to skyrocket.

THE SKY LINE about three new science buildings. The new center for stem-cell research designed by Rafael Viñoly, (with SmithGroup) for the University of California, San Francisco sits on an eye-poppingly impossible site: a narrow strip of land on a steep gradient, with mediocre hospital buildings on one side and, on the other, the precipitous, forested ridge of Mt. Sutro. You wouldn’t think you could fit a building here at all, apart from perhaps the slenderest of towers. Viñoly’s solution was brilliantly audacious and unexpected. He slipped a long, ribbonlike building along the contours of the ridge, supporting it on cantilevered steel columns. It’s an industrial-sized building, yet perched as delicately as a house in the Hollywood Hills. Like Viñoly, Rafael Moneo, the Pritzker Prize-winning architect who designed the new science building at Columbia University (along with the Moneo Brock Studio), faced huge challenges in the site that was picked, at 120th Street and Broadway. He had to shoehorn his building into the northwest corner of the Columbia campus, next to venerable buildings by McKim, Mead & White and on top of | Columbia’s gymnasium.

Some road works are happening in, well I am not sure. The electronic sign tells | me the works are between Queens Parade and Chaple Street.
It wasn't until I saw witches hats today that I was sure the works were between the beginning of Queens Way and Chapel Street.
I am not particularly pedantic, but I would have thought those who programme electronic road signs would be generally of a pedantic nature.
I am reminded of one of Mother's garage sales when I wrote a sign 'More items in hear'. Sister was horrified. I explained, a browser will want to tell you that your spelling is wrong | [

Pure Inflation and Nominal Interest Rates
| Steve Phelan |
Can someone with a solid macro background tell me if this paper supports Austrian monetary theory (or not)?
Abstract: This paper uses a dynamic factor model for the quarterly changes in consumption goods’ prices to separate them into three components: idiosyncratic relative-price changes, aggregate relative-price changes, and changes in the unit of account. The model identifies a measure of “pure” inflation: the common component in goods’ inflation rates that has an equiproportional effect on all prices and is uncorrelated with relative price changes at all dates. The estimates of pure inflation and of the aggregate relative-price components allow us to re-examine three classic macro-correlations. First, we find that pure inflation accounts for 15-20% of the variability in overall inflation, so that most changes in inflation are associated with changes in goods’ relative prices. Second, we find | that the Phillips correlation between inflation and measures of real activity essentially disappears once we control for goods’ relative-price changes. Third, we find that, at business-cycle frequencies, the correlation | [

Everybody has at least one person who ripped their heart out, twisted it up, stomped on it, and then left them for (to quote Carrie Bradshaw) "the stick figure with no soul'.

Shannon K. Butcher
Return Appearance Interview Intro:
Good morning Literal Addicts and Book Monsters! LITERAL ADDICTION and Book Monster Reviews are VERY happy to welcome Shannon K Butcher back to our sites today!
For those of you who might not know, Shannon’s husband is Jim Butcher, fantasy and sci-fi author extraordinaire. Shannon learned to write in an effort to help him improve his own work, and as soon as she discovered that writing was more a learned skill than a natural talent, she knew she had to give it a try. The challenge of taking bits and pieces of a story and putting it together was more than she could resist. It was actually exactly the kind of puzzle that made her want to become an engineer. So, she thought she’d try her hand at what her husband did, and after picking up her first romance in 1998, she was hooked, and decided to write romance herself.
Shannon comes from an entire family of what she calls ‘geeks’. Shannon and Jim live in Missouri with their teenage son and a dog whom is only one four-foot | stick away from being a dust mop.
Shannon is the esteemed creator of the EDGE, DELTA FORCE and SENTINAL WARS series. Her latest release, “Bound by Vengeance”, Book #5.5 of the SENTINAL WARS series was just released in eBook format, giving us SENTINAL WARS groupies a little teaser until “Dying Wish”, Book #6, comes out on 3/6/12.

Johnny Depp is possibly the nicest Hollywood movie star in the world. Ever. Or, anyways, if you want an autograph. Autograph magazine, which is all about celebrity autographs, has rated the 44-year old Depp as the most gracious celebrity when it comes to signing autographs for fans. And it’s not like this is the first time Depp has made the list — this is his third #1 ranking in a roll for him. So you know that it has to be genuine, because even the most fake celebrity can’t fake it all the time for three years in a roll.
Depp is “`Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ on film, and Johnny and the Signing Factory in person,” the magazine said.
“Though soft-spoken and laid-back, he likes to talk to fans and get to know them while signing,” New York autograph dealer Anthony Risi explains in the December issue, now on newsstands. “He’ll sign more than one item when he has time, too.”
So who else made the list?
Matt Damon came in second, followed by George Clooney, Jack Nicholson, Rosario Dawson, John Travolta, Katherine Heigl, Jay Leno, Dakota Fanning and | Russell Crowe. Yes, Russell Crowe.
Crowe, who has a history of throwing temper tantrums, ranked among the worst signers on last year’s list. But in a turnaround, the magazine said, the 43-year-old actor “started treating fans great, signing, taking pictures and chatting them up.”

A few years ago the American Society for Testing and Materials ruled that, since Reflective Insulation (radiant barrier) are self-supported when installed, they should not be supported by other materials when tested for flame and smoke. As a result of this ruling, all double-sided radiant barrier products made with traditional aluminum foil FAILED the fire test.

Drilling in ANWR Will Not Solve Our National Energy Crisis
Oil speculated to be beneath the Arctic Refuge would add less than 1 percent to global oil production
November 3, 2011
For decades, drilling proponents have touted drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge as the answer to the national crisis du jour. Today, facing three national crises--energy, jobs, and the deficit--the sad truth is that Arctic Refuge drilling will do nothing to alleviate any of these crucial challenges, despite what Big Oil and its supporters will tell you.
Here are three indisputable facts:
- Oil prices are set on a global oil market, and the amount of oil speculated to be found beneath the Arctic Refuge's coastal plain would add less than 1 percent to total oil production. And, as the government's Energy Information Administration noted in a 2008 report, OPEC could just turn the spigot a little higher to eradicate any slight increase in U.S. production that might come from the Arctic Refuge.
- Any claims about job growth from domestic drilling are met with this stark reality: The top five largest oil companies have actually cut their work force by 11,200 employees in the past five years, despite the fact that this country is | producing more oil and gas now than at any other time in our history. And, they are making record profits.
- Estimates of revenue generated from drilling in the Arctic Refuge are wildly speculative and hugely inflated. According to a 2008 Congressional Research Service report, any revenue estimates from Arctic Refuge drilling are "highly uncertain" | [
