US documentary pries lid off isolated Myanmar

WASHINGTON (AP) ? American professor Robert Lieberman went to Myanmar to train local filmmakers and shot his own documentary on the sly. The solo-filmed "They Call It Myanmar: Lifting the Curtain," pries the lid off daily life in what has long been one of world's most isolated and repressed places, examining its grinding poverty and tragic decades of military rule.

The film is a reminder that, despite recent upbeat news as Myanmar ventures on a reform path that has seen releases of political prisoners and easing of censorship, it remains a country with huge problems.

The movie is showing at selected theaters in the United States.

Lieberman, 71, took time off from his regular job teaching physics at Cornell University and traveled to Myanmar several times over two years, initially on a U.S. government-funded Fulbright program. He helped shoot health awareness commercials, then taught film at a university in the main city Yangon. He also accumulated 120 hours of his own footage, often filmed clandestinely.

Part documentary, part travelogue, "They Call It Myanmar" absorbs the country's charms and cruelties and spills them out with disarming curiosity. He explains, both from his own perspective and the narrations by anonymous collaborators, just what life is like there and what makes its long-suffering people tick.

In a sense, the film already is outdated. Lieberman did the leg work before change began taking hold, although he sneaked back early last year to interview democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi after she was released from her latest stretch of house arrest. The Nobel Laureate's musings on the country also known as Burma, and its turbulent history, are part of the narrative.

Lieberman describes Myanmar as the second most-isolated country in the world after North Korea, but foreign journalists are now being allowed in to report, and there is public debate on issues such as human rights and ethnic conflict that just a year ago would have been off-limits.

While the isolation and climate of fear has eased, however, that has not translated yet into a shift in political power or improved living conditions. Lieberman's film lays bare how far what was once one of Southeast Asia's most prosperous countries has sunk.

His starting point is not the ruinous military rule that has led it to that point, but, refreshingly, something more simple and vital to Burmese identity: tanaka, a fragrant, light brown paste that people daub on their faces. Opening the movie that way makes sense, as many faces populate Lieberman's film. They are filmed on the street, on trains, in temples, in markets and clinics, though some are blurred out to protect their identities.

The videography is often rough-and-ready but sometimes scenic. He takes in the historical treasures of the country, the famed Shwedagon Pagoda, the hundreds of ancient temples of Bagan, as well as exploring the importance of the predominant Buddhist faith.

He sometimes injects his own dashes of humor, like when he jokes on seeing a Buddha image covered thick with countless offerings of gold leaf: "Shall we grab it and run?"

The abiding theme, however, is deprivation. In one hard-to-watch scene, a young, shaven-headed girl with a deep ulcer cries in pain at an ill-equipped clinic. The doctor says the girl has tuberculosis, but her mother cannot afford the drugs to treat her.

A political prisoner, interviewed off-camera, tells how he was tortured by his jailers who put a bag on his head with two mice inside. He says to stop the mice biting him, he had to bite them back.

In the second half of the film, Lieberman looks at Myanmar's turbulent modern history. There is rare archive footage of Suu Kyi's father, national hero Aung San, speaking during a visit to Britain before he led the country toward independence after World War II, only to be assassinated months before it shook off its colony status.

The film then tells the compelling story of how Suu Kyi was catapulted to political prominence following a brutal military crackdown on democracy protesters in 1988. The military used deadly force again to put down Buddhist monk-led mass demonstrations in 2007. The junta's reputation was sullied further by its initial refusal to allow in foreign aid after Cyclone Nargis in 2008, which killed 130,000 people.

But what is missing from "They Call It Myanmar" is what beckons now. Even hardened human rights activists and dissidents view the changes of the past year as the country's most significant in the half-century since the military took power.

The film's touching closing sequences tell of people's aspirations. One Burmese tearfully speaks of how Myanmar is a proud country, but one that needs help to stand on its own feet. Another simply yearns "to speak, read and write poetry the way your heart tells you to do it."

Rwanda sees coffee harvest up 50 pct in 2012

KIGALI (Reuters) - Rwanda's coffee output could rise by 50 percent this year due to a bumper harvest after good rains late last year, and the small but fertile central African country is eyeing newer outlets for its high quality, speciality coffee.

Rwanda, a much smaller producer compared to its neighbour and Africa's top exporter Uganda, grows high quality, Arabica coffee beans much of which is exported mainly to the United States, Europe, Japan and South Korea.

Coffee export earnings rose to $75 million in 2011 from $56 million a year earlier. The country's foreign exchange earnings are dominated by tourism, mining, tea and coffee exports.

"In 2012 we are recognising a few new markets for the U.S. and the Nordic countries," said Robinha Uwera, coffee marketing officer of the Agricultural Export Development Board (NAEB).

"And China. Some other people (from China) are sure that they would like to buy for this year's season."

The agriculture export agency said coffee exports could rise to 24,000 tonnes in 2012 on increased rainfall and the natural cycle of the Arabica bean.

The coffee harvest, which normally starts in March, began as early as the middle of February in some parts of the country.

NAEB data showed that in 2011, Rwandan coffee was selling at $5.60 per kg for export, but 2012 prices are expected to be lower because the price on the international market has dropped. At present a kg of coffee ready for export is selling at $4.10.

Despite the forecast increase in output, some farmers are worried about the prices which have been trending lower.

In Ruhuha sector, which lies in Bugesera district, almost 60 km south of Kigali, farmers say a recent dry spell could affect their harvest.

"In the last four years, the harvest was good. But this year things are not good. As farmers, we are scared. We see that the weather is changing so you cannot promise a good harvest," said Jean Minani, who has grown coffee in Ruhuha for over 30 years.

Small holder farmers like Minani typically harvest between 10 and 15 kg per day during the coffee season. Farmers are encouraged by the government to use mulch and grow other trees to mitigate effects of the dry weather on the coffee.

Rwanda has reduced the farm gate price for coffee cherries to 170 Rwanda francs per kg from 200 francs. This is the first time the price has been lowered mid-season.

"Many people come, tell us the price is too low because of the financial crisis and whatever and they pay what they want," Vestine Kankindi, another farmer said.

"Sometimes we can learn the price from the radio, otherwise we are paid little money and we don't know how to tell the exact price."

Pinterest Revamps Profile Pages: Streamlined Content, Cleaner Interface, New Board Layout

Screen shot 2012-03-16 at 11.09.10 AMWe sort of saw this coming, given the fact that Ben Silbermann said so at SXSW, but Pinterest has just revamped its profile pages. Those of you familiar with the hottest new social network will know that profile pages originally displayed all of your boards, their titles, with thumbnails of each pin in every board. It got the job done to be sure, but was also pretty simple. Today, all that changes. If you meander on over to Pinterest, where you'll likely spend more than an hour of your life pinning, liking, and browsing in general, you'll notice that if you click on an individual user, things look a bit different.

Fossils show mammals lived with dinosaurs

The dinosaurs needed to go extinct for the mammals, and humans, to arise. At least that's what researchers have been thinking for decades. But, a new study indicates that at least one group of ancient mammals was already expanding 20 million years before the dinosaurs were wiped from the Earth.

Analysis of ancient mammal teeth indicates they were able to take off not because dinosaur die-off made way for them, but because they discovered a new food source that others weren't consuming.

Some of the world's earliest mammals were the multituberculates, a group of small rodentlike animals that first emerged on Earth about 165 million years ago. For the next 80 million years, they stayed small, seeming to evolve slowly while living in a limited number of habitats and eating insects. Researchers once thought the animals were being held back by dinosaurs, which outcompeted them for food sources.

Tooth for thought
The fossil record shows that after the mass extinction event 65 million years ago, dinosaur diversity and density dropped and overall mammal diversity and density increased. Researchers used to think that the mammals succeeded in the absence of the dinosaurs.

To test this theory, the researchers looked closely at a specific group of early mammals. They analyzed 48 sets of fossilized teeth from multituberculates. The teeth were scanned into a computer program, which analyzed their complexity.

"If you look at the complexity of teeth, it will tell you information about the diet," study researcher Gregory Wilson of the University of Washington said in a statement. "Multituberculates seem to be developing more cusps on their back teeth, and the bladelike tooth at the front is becoming less important as they develop these bumps (or cusps) to break down plant material."

This increasing "dental complexity" allowed them to eat a more diverse range of foods, including the first flowering plants called angiosperms, which started to appear 140 million years ago.

More mammals
The fossil teeth suggested that about 85 million years ago, body size of these mammals increased and more and more new species appeared, especially after they switched to eating plants.

"These mammals were able to radiate in terms of numbers of species, body size and shapes of their teeth, which influenced what they ate," Wilson said.

This matches up with other mammal groups, including recently discovered species from the Late Cretaceous (between 100 million and 65 million years ago) showing highly specialized adaptations and increasing diversity.

The multituberculates went extinct about 35 million years ago, but not before they spread across the globe.

It's been suggested that modern rodents and other animals drove them to extinction because they were competing for the same food.

The study was published Wednesday in the journal Nature.

Recent Rise Seen in Foodborne Diseases From Imports: CDC

WEDNESDAY, March 14 (HealthDay News) -- The number of foodborne disease outbreaks in the United States caused by imported food rose in recent years, according to a new federal government study.

Researchers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reviewed outbreaks reported to the CDC's Foodborne Disease Outbreak Surveillance System between 2005 and 2010. During those five years there were 39 outbreaks and more than 2,300 illnesses linked to imported food from 15 countries.

Of those outbreaks, nearly half (17) occurred in 2009 and 2010.

The most common types of imported food associated with outbreaks were fish (17 outbreaks) and spices (six outbreaks, including five from fresh or dried peppers). Asia was the source of most of the imported food products that caused outbreaks (nearly 45 percent).

The study was scheduled for presentation Wednesday at the International Conference on Emerging Infectious Diseases, in Atlanta.

"It's too early to say if the recent numbers represent a trend, but CDC officials are analyzing information from 2011 and will continue to monitor for these outbreaks in the future," lead author Hannah Gould, an epidemiologist in CDC's division of foodborne, waterborne and environmental diseases, said in a news release from the American Society for Microbiology.

"As our food supply becomes more global, people are eating foods from all over the world, potentially exposing them to germs from all corners of the world, too," Gould noted. "We saw an increased number of outbreaks due to imported foods during recent years, and more types of foods from more countries causing outbreaks."

Between 1998 and 2007, annual U.S. food imports increased from $41 billion to $78 billion, and much of that growth was in fruit and vegetables, seafood and processed food products, according to a report by the Economic Research Service (ERS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Overall, about 16 percent of all food consumed in the United States is imported, including up to 85 percent of seafood and up to 60 percent of fresh produce, the ERS report said.

Gould said her study likely underestimates the actual number of outbreaks caused by imported food because the origins of many foods that cause outbreaks are not known or not reported.

"We need better -- and more -- information about what foods are causing outbreaks and where those foods are coming from," Gould said. "Knowing more about what is making people sick, will help focus prevention efforts on those foods that pose a higher risk of causing illness."

Research presented at medical meetings should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

Obama treats British PM to hoops in the heartland

(AP) ? Basketball fan-in-chief President Barack Obama gave British Prime Minister David Cameron a front-row seat to March Madness on Tuesday, taking his European partner to an election swing state for an NCAA tournament basketball game.

The two leaders sat near one end of the court at the University of Dayton Arena for a "First Four" matchup between Mississippi Valley State and Western Kentucky, a gesture of goodwill during Cameron's official visit to the United States and a way for an incumbent president to reach sports fans in an election year.

The setting created the image of two buddies, dressed in casual clothes, eating hot dogs and enjoying the NCAA tournament, one of America's premier sporting events.

Cameron, who enjoys tennis and cricket but had never been to a basketball game before, said during a halftime interview on truTV that Obama was "giving me some tips. He's going to help me fill out my (NCAA tournament) bracket." Obama replied, "And he's going to teach me cricket."

Cameron marveled at the speed of the game and, in the end, got to see a spirited encounter. Mississippi Valley State had pulled away but Western Kentucky made a valiant comeback, winning in the final seconds 59-58.

Obama's quick trip to Ohio gives him a chance to connect with basketball fans and generate attention in Ohio, which he carried in the 2008 election and is considered one of the top toss-up states in 2012. The trip comes one week after Republican front-runner Mitt Romney captured Ohio's GOP primary.

The high-profile appearance also gave Obama a chance to project his image on a night when Republicans were awaiting primary results in Alabama and Mississippi, continuing a practice of grabbing some of the spotlight on Republican contest days.

In a courtside interview with sportscaster Clark Kellogg, Obama said he wanted to take Cameron to "the great state of Ohio," noting that many foreign leaders only get the opportunity to visit coastal cities like New York, Washington and Los Angeles. "The heartland is what it's all about," Obama said.

The White House said the trip to the NCAA tournament game was intended to showcase the special relationship between the two key allies during Cameron's three-day visit. Obama and Cameron will discuss the upcoming NATO and G-8 summits on Wednesday, followed by a state dinner at the White House.

Obama gave Cameron the royal treatment, inviting him to fly on Air Force One and enjoy a quintessential American tradition. The lavishing of praise on Cameron came at a time of weighty foreign policy challenges in Afghanistan, Iran and Syria. Britain has been an important U.S. ally in Afghanistan and the bombing campaign in Libya that led to the removal of Moammar Gadhafi.

Adding to the heavy hoops flavor of the day, Obama announced his NCAA tournament bracket picks to ESPN, the sports network he watches on a daily basis. On Tuesday, the network teased Obama's selections by revealing his Final Four picks: Kentucky, Ohio State, Missouri and North Carolina.

It was the fourth straight year that Obama filled out an NCAA tournament bracket for ESPN. On the women's side, he selected Baylor, St. John's, Connecticut and Notre Dame to advance. ESPN will reveal the president's full men's bracket Wednesday.

Obama seemed to relish courtside for a basketball game, his favorite sport. He frequently pointed to some of the activities on the floor, appearing to explain the game to his British counterpart. Early in the first half, two young women arrived with hot dogs for both leaders, along with a bottle of water for Obama and a Coke for Cameron, who spread ketchup on his hot dog.

With 12:30 remaining in the first half, Obama clapped after Mississippi Valley State's Terrence Joyner put in a layup and the president later nodded approvingly when Joyner's teammate, William Pugh, scored on a breakaway dunk.

After a low-scoring first half, Obama told Kellogg that "both teams are shooting terribly.

"It may be nerves," the president said. "These are not teams that normally end up coming to the tournament."

Obama was seated next to Cameron and Marvin Nicholson, a White House aide. Three young women sat next to Nicholson and got to chat with the president. Cameron was also seated next to Downing Street Chief of Staff Ed Llewellyn, who chatted with White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew and Ohio Gov. John Kasich. Students and staff members of the University of Dayton sat nearby.

Kasich, a former Ohio congressman, said he discussed shale gas development in Ohio with Obama. "He's concerned about the environment. We can do it where it's environmentally sound, and we can get the jobs," Kasich said.

Some Republicans panned the trip, saying many Americans would prefer Obama to focus on more pressing issues.

"While showing off our amazing college basketball teams is great, many Americans struggling to find jobs, dealing with soaring gas prices, or concerned with our rising deficit and debt would probably like the president spend at least as much time dealing with those issues," said Sean Spicer, a spokesman for the Republican National Committee

Basketball has been a big part of Obama's life. At his Hawaii high school, Obama frequently carried a basketball along with his school books and bonded with his teammates on the court. His brother-in-law, Craig Robinson, played college basketball at Princeton and is now head coach at Oregon State.

The president regularly plays pickup basketball and keeps close tabs on his favorite NBA team, the Chicago Bulls. In a recent interview, the president said he gets League Pass on his iPad, letting him watch out-of-market NBA games on his tablet computer.

Obama kicked off the basketball season with a Veterans Day game between Michigan State and North Carolina on the flight deck of the USS Carl Vinson in November, enjoying a game on the aircraft carrier that took Osama bin Laden's body to a burial at sea after the U.S. raid that killed the al-Qaida leader.

"Part of what makes this wonderful is not only that anybody, at least at the start of the tournament, has a dream about winning it," Obama told Kellogg. "But the way it brings the country together, and families and communities, people rooting for their alma mater."

Epsom, NH: Family - Samuel and Abigail (Critchett) Bickford - Lucy ...

Lucy Ann Bickford as the seventh child and 5th daughter of Samuel and Abigail (Critchett) Bickford. She was the most difficult person to locate, having to go through all the Lucy's in Albany and Craftsbury Vermont until a match was made. She does not appear in any Epsom records, but is listed in the family when they were added to the Baptist Church in Albany in 1843, as well as with the family in Albany in the 1850 census. Her death record gives her dying at home in Albany, Vermont, June 14, 1913, age 76-1-9, calculating her birth as May of 1837. The record also gives her parents names as Samuel Bickford and Abigail Critchett, her birth place is incorrectly given as Albany, Vermont, but is should be Epsom as we know the family was in Epsom until October 1842. The other difficulty in tracing her is that she married about 1856 (1900 census gives 44 years of marriage) Richard Greaves, who died in Albany, VT., Feb. 25, 1907, and whose last name has many variations in the vital records and US Census records. The 1900 census says she had 2 children, of which only 1 was living, so 2 children, only one known.

Abbie C. Greaves, born Jan. 1857 (census records), died unknown, married Sept. 10, 1878 in Albany, VT (Vermont Vital records) Almon Rufus Miles. He appears in records as A. Rufus Miles, Rufus Miles, Almon R.(B) Miles. They had 2 known children.

Somali rebels ban aid group Save the Children

Somalia's Shebab rebels Tuesday banned the aid group Save the Children from operating in regions under their control, levelling a string of accusations against the organisation.

The Shebab's Office for Supervising the Affairs of Foreign Agencies said in a statement that it "revokes the permission of the organisation known as Save the Children to operate in any of the regions under the administration of the mujahideen."

It accused Save the Children of distributing expired porridge to children, as well as corruption and failing to comply with the rules laid down by the Al Qaeda-linked group.

The Shebab "strives to protect the welfare of the entire Muslim population of Somalia and will implement all necessary safety measures to dissuade competing organisations from degrading their quality of life," added the statement.

Save the Children projects in Somalia have included running health centres and treating malnourished children, digging wells, providing sanitation and upgrading and equipping schools.

In January, the extremist militia banned the International Committee of the Red Cross and ordered it to close its operations in the Shebab-controlled regions.

Hardline Shebab gunmen control large parts of southern and central Somalia. The war-torn nation was the worst hit in the Horn of Africa by a recent harsh drought that left some 12 million people in dire need of relief aid.

Somalia, ravaged by nearly uninterrupted civil war for the past two decades, is one of the most dangerous places in the world for aid workers and one of the regions that needs them most.

In November, the Shebab also ordered shut 16 UN and other international aid agencies after raiding several of their offices. It has banned organisations it said "engaged in activities deemed detrimental to the attainment of an Islamic state."

Save the Children's regional headquarters in Nairobi was not immediately available for comment Tuesday.

Getting Help for Your Financial Burdens From a Gilbert Bankruptcy ...

When it comes to your finances, bankruptcy is probably the last word you ever want to hear. The idea would seem scary to most people as it is seen as the nuclear option of economics. However, with all of the information out there it?s common to see bankruptcyportrayed as both the absolute end of your ability to get credit, and as a get out of debt free card that you can use whenever times get tough. There is a middle ground between the two and Gilbert bankruptcy lawyers would help in finding you that middle ground.

First and foremost, bankruptcy is a legal process. Chiefly, you are giving the opportunity for you and your creditors to be able to work out your differences in court. The whole process involves a lot of factors including the income of the debtor, the amount which was owed, the credit of the bankruptcy applicant and so many other things which makes each case different from each other. It would be greatly precarious for someone who is accused of murder to try and defend himself on his own in court and the same principle would apply to you if you try to go to court without the assistance of an experienced lawyer to back you up.

In order for you to follow what is happening to your case, bankruptcy lawyers are there to make you understand the nuances. This can be particularly important for those that have little to no courtroom experience who could easily get lost in all ofthe paperwork and rules that they?re required to follow. When it comes to dealing with your bankruptcy case, a good attorney will ensure that you are placed in the most beneficial position possible from the streamlining they did on your case.

It?s important that all persons who are thinking about declaring Arizona bankruptcy be sure that this is the option they really want to pursue. Before you ever get to court you should consult with a bankruptcy attorney and see if they believe you have a case andwhat the likely outcome will be based on the evidence you can present. Bankruptcy is a major black mark on your credit score, and it will follow you around for years even after the process has been completed and all parties have walked away from the case. If there?s some other way to solve the issue without that ruinous stigma attached to it, you?d be well advised to follow it if you can.
