Islands need support to face shocking impacts of 1.5C global warming
Thoriq Ibrahim, Former Environment and Energy Minister of the Maldives
Small Island States will be facing dramatically higher adaptation costs to build resilience against the kind of impacts the IPCC projects in its most recent Special Report. Thoriq Imbrahim, former Environment and Energy Minister of the Maldives, urges the international community to attend to the political demands of countries particularly exposed to the impacts of climate change and also confront loss and damage with renewed urgency.
Is SAARC prepared to combat climate change and its security risks?
Florian Krampe (SIPRI) and Ashok Swain (Uppsala University)
Though India is now pushing for BIMSTEC, geography dictates that it cannot ignore SAARC. South Asia is extremely vulnerable to a range of climate impacts, ranging from shrinking glaciers and water scarcity to floods and rising sea levels. Responding to these risks is a complex task, also because often impacts affect more than one country and their severity exceeds the capacity of national governments. Climate change creates new challenges for regional organisations, and simultaneously increases their relevance.
Big Dams, Big Damage: The Growing Risk of Failure
Olivia Smith (New Security Beat)
In July 2018, a partially completed dam in Laos' Attapeu province collapsed, washing away people and villages in its path. Hundreds of people were missing and more than six thousand lost their homes. And after last summer's hurricanes, U.S. citizens in Houston and Puerto Rico escaped death but were forced to evacuate when dams were flooded. Dam failure can be catastrophic for people, property, and power – and the risks are rising.

Stormy Weather: What Climate, Security and Development Policies Can Do
Dhanasree Jayaram
Kerala Floods 2018 (Angamaly)
In 2018, many countries, including India, have been at the receiving end of the worst disasters the world has ever witnessed. It is imperative that they adopt a human security approach to achieve "freedom from hazard impacts" – nationally through a scientific disaster risk reduction strategy, and internationally through climate diplomacy.
India's Climate Diplomacy Could Trigger Climate-Resilient Pathways for Indo-Pacific Ports
Dhanasree Jayaram, Manipal Academy of Higher Education
The surge in the frequency and intensity of climate change impacts has raised the alarm about how this could hamper coastal activities. Several critical ports in the Indo-Pacific region are hubs of international trade and commerce and at the same time vulnerable to typhoons, taller waves and erosion. India's climate diplomacy at the regional level could activate climate-resilient pathways for port development and management.

Cities are on the sharp end of a range of risks from criminal violence, terrorism and war to demographic pressures, to climate and environmental change. Coastal megacities are especially at risk given the specific impacts of climate change they face, including accelerated global sea-level rise, increased storm frequency and severity, and destruction to critical infrastructure such as port facilities, rail and road linkages, and energy installations, all of which are amplified as urban populations become ever larger.

Build back better: disaster management as an opportunity for gender equality?
Katharina Nett
Women are at the forefront of climate change, facing disproportionately high risks to their health, education, food security and livelihoods. The gendered impacts of climate change are particularly strong in the case of climate-induced disasters and are exacerbated in contexts of violent conflict, fragility and extreme poverty. At the same time, women can be important agents of change in adaptation and peacebuilding. Disaster management can provide opportunities to overcome traditional gender roles and strengthen women's voices in decision-making.

Previously published in SFU NEWS Aboriginal Supplement December 2015.
Aboriginal leader Phil Fontaine, former National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations, delivered a dynamic presentation on resource development and Aboriginal peoples during the fall semester at the Segal Graduate School of Business.
The packed audience included students from the second cohort of the Beedie School of Business' Executive MBA in Aboriginal Business and Leadership (EMBA ABL). During his opening remarks, Fontaine noted how impressed he was during discussions earlier in the day with students in the EMBA ABL program."I had an incredible visit with a number of outstanding students," he said. "It was most inspirational, but they also intimidated me—they are so bloody smart."
Fontaine said tremendous progress has been made in the last few decades in improving relations between Aboriginal peoples and resource development companies, with the idea of sustainable development as a key goal. He says there is hope that this trend will continue. Previously published in Beedie News Room October 2015
Tremendous progress has been made in the last few decades in improving relations between Aboriginal peoples and resource development, caused by what can be described as, "A seismic shift in attitudes from both sides." And though the future is clouded in uncertainty, there is cause for hope that this trend will continue.
That was the message delivered in a special presentation at the Segal Graduate School on September 29 by Aboriginal Canadian leader Phil Fontaine, former National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations.Fontaine delivered an engaging speech, Resource Development and Aboriginal People – A Viable Option? to a packed audience, which included students from the second cohort of the Beedie School of Business' Executive MBA in Aboriginal Business and Leadership (EMBA ABL).
In opening, Fontaine remarked how impressed he had been when engaging with the students from the EMBA ABL earlier that day. "I had an incredible visit with a number of outstanding students here at this institution," he said. "It was most inspirational, but they also intimidated me – they are so bloody smart."Touching on the executive summary of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Fontaine stated that it might be an appropriate preface for the topic of discussion.
He noted that the report represents an historic moment for all indigenous survivors – and indeed, all indigenous people everywhere – and that it validates their struggle.Discussing the evolving difference in attitudes, Fontaine claimed that the vocabulary and narrative has changed for Aboriginal peoples in relation to resource development and their place in the creation of wealth for Canada. He said that it was not so long ago that Aboriginal leaders never used words such as 'ownership', 'joint ventures', or 'collaborative undertakings', but instead used terms such as 'jobs', or 'training'.
The new narrative, he said, was more positive and reaffirming."We have come to accept, indeed embrace the many possibilities – possibilities that can result in a positive transformation of our peoples," he said. "There isn't a development anywhere in the country that does not impact on the rights and interests of aboriginal peoples."Throughout a spirited presentation – followed by an even more spirited question and answer session – Fontaine touched on numerous topics, including the approximately 200 court decisions favourable to the rights and interests of Aboriginal peoples; that Aboriginal peoples are sadly still the most impoverished group of peoples in the country; the controversial Site C dam project; and the lack of understanding of First Nations' perspectives, as evidenced by the media reaction to the discovery of the Northern Ontario Ring of Fire.His overall message however was positive: that there has been great progress made, and that by working in unison and through appropriate consultation, there is no reason that further progress can not be made in relations between resource development and Aboriginal peoples.
"There is a notion that Aboriginal peoples are anti-development, when in fact we are very pro-development – but it must be responsible development," said Fontaine. "This means protecting the environment, which is not an easy proposition when you talk about resource development. I believe that if we work together and are really committed to collaborative undertaking that we can actually make a real difference. I am so hopeful, and excited about the possibilities."

Q: App crashes when populating NSMutableArray from loop of NSMutableStrings I am new to Objective C so this code is probably not written that well.
When the app is launched, it calls the following code if it has not been saved into the phone yet. When it starts to loop through the while loop, the app crashes on any phone the is not the iphone 5s. I think this is due to the memory usage. I believe that inside the while loop, when the NSMutableString (movieTitle) is created, is where the memory spike is. I should also add that the amount of times the loop is iterated is about 6000.
Basically html code is generated from a URL and this processes it to find movies and shows based on how the html on the website is written. It grabs all the movie names and show names so that I can use them for autocomplete.

This is the section where I think the phone crashes from a memory spike.
NSMutableString *movieTitle = [self getTitle:moviePage];

And here is the function for getTitle
-(NSMutableString*)getTitle:(NSString *)line {
@autoreleasepool{

NSMutableString *movieTitle = [[line substringToIndex:[line rangeOfString:@""].location]mutableCopy];

if ([movieTitle rangeOfString:@", The"].location != NSNotFound) {
    movieTitle = [[movieTitle substringToIndex:[movieTitle rangeOfString:@", The"].location]mutableCopy];
    movieTitle = [[@"The " stringByAppendingString:movieTitle]mutableCopy];
}
if ([movieTitle rangeOfString:@",The"].location != NSNotFound) {
    movieTitle = [[movieTitle substringToIndex:[movieTitle rangeOfString:@",The"].location]mutableCopy];
    movieTitle = [[@"The " stringByAppendingString:movieTitle]mutableCopy];
}

if ([movieTitle rangeOfString:@", A"].location != NSNotFound) {
    movieTitle = [[movieTitle substringToIndex:[movieTitle rangeOfString:@", A"].location]mutableCopy];
    movieTitle = [[@"A " stringByAppendingString:movieTitle]mutableCopy];
}
if ([movieTitle rangeOfString:@" ("].location != NSNotFound) {
    movieTitle = [[movieTitle substringToIndex:[movieTitle rangeOfString:@" ("].location]mutableCopy];
}
if ([movieTitle rangeOfString:@"&"].location != NSNotFound) {
    movieTitle = [[movieTitle stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"&" withString:@"&"]mutableCopy];
}
if ([movieTitle rangeOfString:@"'"].location != NSNotFound) {
    movieTitle = [[movieTitle stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"'" withString:@"'"]mutableCopy];
}
    return movieTitle;
}}

As you can see, I tried using a autoreleasepool to reduce the memory usage, but it wasnt enough to stop the app from crashing. I guess part of the problem for me is that I dont understand the memory rules of Apple. Also, I am using ARC rules, so I cannot simply call release, autorelease..etc.
Another weird problem is that on any iphone besides the 5s, when it is debugging in xcode (plugged into the mac and has the app running on it), the app runs and does not crash.
What can I do to make this code more efficiently so that I do not use much memory so that the app will work on all devices?

It says:

Your application:willFinishLaunchingWithOptions: and application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: methods should always be as lightweight as possible to reduce your app's launch time. Apps are expected to launch and initialize themselves and start handling events in less than 5 seconds. If an app does not finish its launch cycle in a timely manner, the system kills it for being unresponsive. Thus, any tasks that might slow down your launch (such as accessing the network) should be executed asynchronously on a secondary thread.

There hasn't been a lot of good news for GM's German Opel division lately. After a failed sale to supplier juggernaut Magna and an inexplicable tie-up with ailing French carmaker PSA Peugeot Citroën sunk hopes for the company, it appears that positive things are actually happening on the product side. Case in point: the Cascada convertible, a Geneva show debutante with four seats, a fabric top, and classic proportions.
Based on GM's Global Delta platform, the Cascada is a very close relative of the Opel Astra and the Buick Verano. Opel speaks of a "super-rigid" body (we hear "heavy"), and makes some ado about its size: At 185 inches long, it fits solidly into the mid-size category, even though this does not automatically turn it into a legitimate competitor to the Audi A5, BMW 4-series, or Mercedes-Benz E-class droptops.
The sleek fabric top can be controlled via the fob, and it opens in just 17 seconds and at velocities of up to 31 mph. In front of the driver is a familiar-looking dashboard, similar to the Astra's, with a leather-wrapped steering wheel and a vast number of buttons. (Opel is proud of its electronics expertise and many assistance systems.) The Cascada is available in two trim levels, an entry-level "Edition" and an uplevel "Innovation," the latter of which packs adaptive lights, dual-zone climate control, and a more-isolating fabric top. Opel's current design language translates well to the Cascada, which fits in with the firm's proud history of building convertibles.
Available gasoline engines include a 1.4-liter turbocharged four with 118 or 138 horsepower, and there is also a 1.6-liter turbo that whips up 168 horsepower. The diesel lineup consists of a 2.0-liter in 163- and 192-hp strengths. The burlier version boasts a stout 295 lb-ft of torque and a 143-mph top speed. All models come with a six-speed manual as standard, while a six-speed automatic is optional with the top-of-the-line gasoline engine and the less-powerful diesel.
Opel's closest relative in the GM family is Buick, and this car's debut begs the question whether the Cascada could be rebadged and sold under that brand here. This approach, after all, has worked fine with the Opel Insignia, which became the Buick Regal, and even better with the Astra sedan, which was turned into the Verano. Even more so than Opel, Buick owns a rich heritage of convertibles, with the glory days being the '50s and '60s. But Buick has flirted with the idea of droptops in the past decade, most notably with the 2004 Velite concept and David Lyon's 2001 Buick Bengal concept, both of which were shot down by GM brass.
Competitively priced, the Cascada could give Buick a further image boost. (In Germany, stickers begin at €21,802 before taxes.) And while it might not exactly scare Germany's premium carmakers, it could look down its shapely nose at the Chrysler 200 convertible. Let's hope GM gives the Cascada a chance over here. Another product success in America—even under another badge—would be more of the good news Opel so desperately needs.

GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 Carbonpro
"Tonka Truck Fun"
Do you remember playing with a line of toys made by Tonka. Tough as nails, built with metal, heavy duty vehicles and trucks that you felt you could do anything with. They weren't rinky-dinky plastic, or tiny like Hot wheels, but big and tough that you had to use two hands to play with, could sit on them and act out your dreams of driving the full size equivalents. There is something innate about that feeling that never dies as you grow up. I think more so for car, truck or motor vehicle enthusiasts.
When that enthusiasm can be captured in real life, full size you're instantly drawn back to those bygone days. In simple terms, the GMC Sierra AT4 does exactly that. At first glance the AT4 looks like your Tonka Pickup; big knobby tires, an aggressive imposing grill and red accent accessories to let you know that this thing is meant to play. Step into the ATR's 2" raised cabin and you feel like you command the road with just under 11 inches of ground clearance you know the AT4 is designed to go off road backed by Rancho Suspension on all 4 corners. True joy comes from pushing the chrome bezel starter button and the 3.0L inline six Carbonpro Duramax Turbo Diesel comes to life and all those dreams of driving the big rig materialize before you. The Duramax Turbo Diesel is all new for 2021 mated to a 10 speed automatic transmission. It produces 277 horsepower and cranks out 460 lb-ft of torque from a mere 1,250 rpm. When compared to the likes of Ford or Ram, the GMC Duramax delivers that torque in an aggressive manner that puts the other two to shame. With all that diesel grunt comes an 8,800 lbs towing capacity and up to 2,040 lbs payload.
The go anywhere fun factor is further increased with the class first six function MultiPro Tailgate. By far the coolest of these six functions is the built-in Kicker sound system to allow you to carry on your party outside the truck. The true science of the AT4 Carbonpro is in what the tailgate is attached to. The AT4 Carbonpro uses an industry first Carbon-Fiber Composite bed material. It provides a 25% weight reduction over a steal bed. The material is highly dent, scratch and corrosion resistant and allows for a 1 cu. ft cargo increase. In addition to these benefits is the ability to have no less than 14 molded tie-downs to carry your toys with ease and safety to your off road destination. However, be prepared to dish out nearly $5,000.00 for this advanced material and bragging right.
The interior is a functional comfortable place. It provides wide supporting seating and convenient storage options (cubby holes inside the rear seat backs). Information and audio come courtesy of an 8 inch infotainment screen and class leading 15 inch heads up display capable of displaying navigation, phone and media information along with vehicle diagnostics. Unlike the other two Detroit competitors, who have opted for center console shift levers or electronic rotary dials for transmission control, GMC sticks with an old school steering stock. It feels nostalgic and provides for a cool place to rest your hand while cruising.
The half-ton truck market is by far the most ruthless and cutthroat segment in the auto industry. Each of the big three vies for one-upmanship over the other be it torque or horsepower numbers or towing capacities, I think the utilitarian nature of what the venerable pick-up truck is being lost. Let's not forget that this vehicle was the tool that built America. The GMC Sierra and specifically the AT4 best captures this DNA. When you drive it, you know you're driving a truck, a tool, albeit, a well-appointed, mother of all Swiss army knives, tool. I also feel the AT4 and specifically the Carbonpro package addresses what the pickup is meant to do. A vehicle that lets you work and play, carry your materials and tools during the week and toys on the weekend and gives you the ability to configure the bed in multiple ways to meet your needs. This is further bolstered by the reliability from a solid diesel power plant that is not rot or plagued by issues, cough cough "Dodge Ram" – not sure if you should be dissing another car manufacturer as you also drive Dodge's and write for them. Maybe remain unbiased.

Really very strange that we haven 't any information about this big event !!
Even the results are not available on the site ( created specially for this tournament) ...ONly teletekts give us the results .. That s quite uncredible!!
The live game also is not so good. During the Dutch championship we usually have all the results as soon as the games finish... So how come we have not the same thing with this tournament???????????
We are in 2003 so high technology must help us a lot.... :oops.
Yes very strange. Everything are in dutch language. Sometimes difficult to understand.
What happens about Kouogueu and Aligna ?
Good luck for tournament !
It is possible to see the mainly informations about WC 2003 in English language?
"Why draughts organisers - a club in the small village and up to FMJD - are seeing each other not as colleguaes but as concurrents?"
"Why is the website of the World Championship so poor (mainly in the providing of hot information) for such an event?"
"Why all preparation of the online playing server of the Dutch federation is keeping as mystery just as it is the chemical weapon of Saddam?"
"Why even the webmaster of the FMJD doesn't know anything about candidates for the General Assembly which will be hold in just one week?"
What happens ? The webmaster of FMJD site has no informations about FMJD life ?
If our organisation usually do that, why the contrary for FMJD ?
Michele Borghetti wrote: It is possible to see the mainly informations about WC 2003 in English language?
- the organizer (or the sponsor) should provide a complete Internet Site in English. The games should be all available live, and within minutes after they are finished downloadable in digital format (namely the standard format pdn).
This does not seem too much to ask.
I understand the Dutch sponsor does not really care about the international draughts players. This is normal. But the FMJD has to force the organization to set this up decently.
It was not too bad this time, but it should be much better, and the use of English is a must !
I agree with Nicolas. The fmjd should be able to set the conditions surrounding the world championship. I believe this can be difficult due to different focus of organisers and fmjd. So up front the conditions should be clear.
Furthermore not only english and french should be included. Russian is a must to.
We live in an online era, so take advantage. I must complement the fmjd with their current site. It is doing a great job. But they could go multilingual to!
Can someone explain to me why Clerc and Thijssen didn't play a barrage for the 6th place? I read somewhere that they are both qualified for the next challenge tournament, or the world championship in 2005. I don't understand this, because it was mentioned everywhere that only the places 2-6 would be qualified.
That's because the first three of the tournament (3 on 1) were disqualified.
Just like in the famous dutch 11stedentocht it's not allowed to finish as a group.
So Clerc and Thijssen finished 3th and 4th.

Meta-Chess
A book review
Meta-Chess: Adventures beyond the bounds of chess is a book, written by John William Brown, from Lewisville, AR, USA. This book, so far printed by Brown himself in a small quantity, counts around 300 pages, is spiralbound, printed on goodlooking paper, with several pages in color.
I received from Brown the first version of his book: a second version is made, with some modifications based on readers suggestions, and is available from John Brown (addresses shown in the end of this review).
The book consists of three parts; the first, longest, and for me most interesting part gives an introduction in `the Meta-Chess system' and gives the rules of several chess variants. The second part describes how one can make equipment for playing these games oneself; and the third part shows the `theory' behind the system.
The main idea behind `Meta-Chess' is that this is not a chess variant, but a way to make chess variants, and to have the materials to play the variants directly by hand. Brown plays chess variants with his friends; and they often play new variants made by themselves. This book gives clear guidelines how to do this.
A problem when playing chess variants is usually to get good pieces to play the games with. For this, John Brown has invented a method to make counters which have a graphical display showing in an abstract way the movement of the piece. The cover of the book (which I will scan and show here) shows some of these counters.
Brown has also solutions for the different boards needed for the variants, and even a quick way to find the pieces needed for a particular variant.
Perhaps the main message of the book are a number of guidelines to invent ones own chess variants.
Then, after that, he describes several chess variants with his own terminology and shows the respective counters. These are a few historic chess variants (which you all can find on the Chess Variant pages), and a few new ones, invented (or `composed') by himself and by Thomas Havel: Prince chess (players have two princes that both must be mated - an old idea in a somewhat new form); Hand Shogi (a shogi variant that goes very quick because players start with many pieces in hand); Centennial Chess (a chess variant on a 10 by 10 board); Savant Chess (a large variant with many new pieces on a 12 by 12 board); Jester Chess (on a 10 by 10 board, named after the Jester, who imitates the last piece moved by the opponent); Grand Prince Chess (on a 9 by 10 board, with two princes that both must be mated and several new pieces), and Asian Shogi (a shogi variant with new pieces, on a Korean chess board: pieces may only be dropped while the king is in his `citadel').
The second part of the book describes how one can make markers and boards to play the game. Brown uses flat markers who display in a graphical way the moves of the piece represented by the marker (thus, modifying the Shogi style of pieces by using move-representations instead of characters/names; this helps to remember the moves of pieces). He explains how markers can be made from Card stock, Poster board, Bristol board, and Plastic based materials, and gives detailed descriptions. He also discusses how to make boards, a storage system for the markers, and a patented way to quickly get the types of pieces one needs for a particular variant.
The third part of the book describes moves of more chess pieces, names them in a systematic way, and gives a way to calculate the value of the pieces.
The book is well written, and Brown has an excellent way of expressing himself in English, although, especially in the latter parts, he is at times a little too formal. The book has many figures, which are clear and well made; a few are in color. Also, it comes with four colored sheets of thick paper with pieces inprinted on them - readers can use these for playing the games described in the book themselves.
Overall, it is a book which I liked, and would recommend for Chess Variant enthusiasts.
This review was based on the first edition of the book; a second edition is available from the author. John Brown wrote the following about this second edition:
Improvements were made to the 2nd edition of Meta-Chess based on feedback from readers who participated in the market testing of the 1st edition. Thanks to their vigilance, most of the errors have now been corrected. Moreover, a number of changes were made in order to improve compatability with current CV practices. Several readers requested more actual variants, so an appendix was added that includes new games by Thomas E. Havel. The appendix entitled "The Logical Basis of CPA" was eliminated altogether, as readers expressed little interest in it. (Although it is still available by special request).

June 24, 2007 — Pennsylvania/New Jersey 6, Midwest 1
June 24, 2007 at 6:46 pm · Filed under Uncategorized and tagged: Field hockey
VIRGINIA BEACH — For the Pennsylvania/New Jersey High-Performance Center field hockey team, the first half of the of the US Field Hockey National Championship match against the Midwest HPC was a test of the team's work ethic encapsulated in the word "kaizen," a Japanese term meaning "continuous improvement."
Pennsylvania/New Jersey could have found itself doubting its improvement path when Midwest's April Fronzoni put in a corner rebound in the third minute of play, while being unable to execute on its first seven corners.
But neither the team members nor P/NJ head coach Kristen Holmes-Winn were flummoxed in the least.
"We've had enough of a foundation, through our training, that we knew we would be able to come back, pull people out of spaces, and eventually get some easy goals out of it," Holmes-Winn said.
After drawing level by the interval on a gorgeous high-low corner play between Katie Evans and Team USA's Angie Loy, Pennsylvania/New Jersey rapped in five second-half goals, the last four in a span of less than six minutes to win the National Championship 6-1.
The win caps a splendid tournament for P/NJ, whose talent level and results compare to the best performances ever by a USA Field Hockey-sanctioned summer-league team.
Penn-Jersey's eruption came about five minutes after Midwest peppered goalie Linz Markwart, late of Kent State University, with four rapid-fire shots.
"Our goalkeepers did really well in training, and unfortunately, Allison Nemeth got a head cold during the week, so Linz went in there and did a great job," Holmes-Winn said.
U.S. international Sarah Dawson had goals in the 45th and 60th minutes, while Loy added a 59th-minute tally to her first-half goal. Teen sensations Katie O'Donnell (56th) and Kat Sharkey (62nd) rounded out the scoring.
P/NJ had some of the better young talent in the tournament, with Katie Reinprecht joining O'Donnell and Sharkey in the winning effort.
It must be said, however, that the outcome would not be the same without the efforts of some of the Team USA veterans, particularly captain Tracey Arndt (87 caps).
"With her out there, we could do things we ordinarily couldn't," Holmes-Winn said.

June 24, 2007 (bulletin) — US Pan Am Team, plus bonus info
June 24, 2007 at 12:47 pm · Filed under Uncategorized and tagged: Field hockey
The U.S. team is in for a tough assignment in beating 2002 World Cup champion Argentina at this summer's Pan American Games, and the Beijing Olympic berth that goes along with it.
The selections that head coach Lee Bodimeade and the rest of the U.S. selectors made were probably even tougher.
The Pan Am team roster declaration is exactly 16 players — not an expanded squad from which 16 players can be declared before each match.
Here's the team as announced today:
Kate Barber, F, North Carolina
Kayla Bashore, M, Indiana
Lauren Crandall, D, Wake Forest
Rachel Dawson, D, North Carolina
Kelly Doton, D, Wake Forest
Katelyn Falgowski, M, Wilmington St. Mark's (Del.)
Michelle Kasold, F, Wake Forest
Melissa Leonetti, D, Old Dominion
Carrie Lingo, M, North Carolina
Angie Loy, F, Old Dominion
Lauren Powley, M, Maryland
Dina Rizzo, F, Maryland
Dana Sensenig, M, Old Dominion
Keli Smith, F, Maryland
Tiffany Snow, F, Old Dominion
Amy Tran, G, North Carolina
There are, however, a number of changes that can be made before the team leaves for Brazil sometime around July 8th. Here are the alternates from which choices can be made:
Sarah Dawson, Iowa
Jill Dedman, Boston College
April Fronzoni, Michigan
Claire Laubach, Wake Forest
Natalie Martirosian, Princeton
Caroline Nichols, Old Dominion
Katie O'Donnell, Wissahickon (Pa.)
Sara Silvetti, Maryland
Barb Weinberg, Iowa
A handful of people are being kept as part of a 2007 developmental squad, which could help fill out a practice team, train with the senior national team, or be part of the five-match Test series this October against Japan:
Vianney Campos, Pacific
Katie Evans, Delaware
Maren Ford, Princeton
Jesse Gey, North Carolina
Jessica Javelet, Louisville
Mia Link, Virginia
Katie Reinprecht, Flourtown Mount St. Joseph's (Pa.)
Laura Suchoski, Duke
The selections are notable for the fact that three high-school students are amongst the 32 players selected for the elite pool, continuing the trend of outstanding development of players through Futures and advanced coaching at the high-school varsity level.
In addition, the rapid improvement of Dana Sensenig and Michelle Kasold continues; Sensenig only got her first cap May 1, while Kasold had earned her first cap last August against Argentina in the March to Madrid.
As mentioned above, the 16-woman roster is not final; as you might have inferred from box scores at the ATA Champions Challenge, Dina Rizzo (91 caps) was held out because of an injury. Her inclusion in the side assumes she can get to full fitness in just two weeks.
Even so, Bodimeade and the U.S. selectors now have a good talent pool available — perhaps one as deep as the U.S. men's soccer team. The evidence? A U.S. side featuring unknowns like Benny Feilhaber and Frankie Simek went out and beat Mexico today to earn the lone North American berth to the FIFA Confederations' Cup.
If you have one of those digital broadcasting services like a dish or FIOS, you might want to go ahead and order ESPN Deportes — the lone U.S. broadcaster who will be carrying the Pan American Games on television. You might see something truly special.


Weddings are wonderful place for LOVE/AMOUR! Mi Amor with all of its sweet embellishments works so beautifully with wedding photos. I changed my photos to black and white so they would blend nicely with the rich reds in this collection. I changed the title from black to white and matted each of the photos in white to coordinate and then added a shadow to all elements to make them pop!
I love blending my background photo into the paper background and then add a few of the sweet heart embellishments in this collection. As for the white hearts I changed the opacity so that the hearts looked like vellum.
And of course Mi Amor is perfect for LOVE day photos! One of my favourite embellishments is the sweet envelope and the wonderful advantage to digital is you can make this envelope as large or as small as you like. I added embellishments and cut them along the bottom to make them look like they are popping out of the envelope. I then added a heavy shadow.
← Getting a scrappy head-start on Valentine's Day!
Beth, these layouts are scrumptious! I am so happy to other ideas besides just Valentine or wedding possibilities. :-) Thank you for that.
I would love to have a tutorial on how you "faded" the photo in "Vegas, Baby!" , and how you blended the two backgrounds. Please? That kind of look really appeals to me, but I don't have any idea how to do it. I usually work with PSE15. Thanks again!
I am sorry I missed answering this. I am not sure how much help I am because I use Artisan to design with. In that software you use the cut tool and then the blend tool. So I cut my photo using the blend tool and the paper shows through. If you search online you maybe able to find a tutorial to explain this in PSE. Thank you!
