Out for a bike ride, and I finally see this hawk that has been around our area this summer. I thought it may have gone away as I have not seen or heard it for some time now.

Me resultó curioso, porque nunca lo había visto, un local de lectura de cartas. Lo que conocía normalmente era en pisos particulares, no un local con cartelería horrorosa a pie de calle.

CLOSUP, the Ford School's Center for Local, State, & Urban Policy, held a discussion about the findings from the Michigan Public Policy Survey (MPPS), which asked leaders from 1,329 of Michigan's local governments to report on the future of public services in their jurisdictions in the aftermath of the Great Recession. The survey concluded that a majority of Michigan's local leaders think our system of funding local governments is broken. CLOSUP Director Barry Rabe, Program Manager Thomas Ivacko, and Project Manager Debra Horner presented on the survey findings and the solutions suggested by these leaders.
This event is part of the year-long celebration of President Ford's Centennial, honoring a citizen, public servant, and leader.
Piden a Congresos Locales impulsar Leyes Integrales
de Protección a Periodistas y Defensores de Derechos Humanos.
Luego de los recientes asesinatos de los
fotoreporteros Gabriel Huge, Guillermo Luna y Regina Martínez en Veracruz, el
Mtro. Manuel Edmundo Ramos Gutiérrez, presidente de SOS Discriminación
Internacional Querétaro exigió a las autoridades esclarecer los asesinatos y
evitar que queden impunes, pues “el gobierno federal y los estados deben
garantizar el libre ejercicio de la libertad de expresión y detener la oleada
de asesinatos en nuestro país. Porque cuando asesinan a un periodista o
defensor de derechos humanos, también es ejecutada la libertad de expresión,
los derechos humanos y la democracia”. Puntualizó el activista queretano.
Al mismo tiempo, Ramos Gutiérrez quién también es
secretario de acción social de la Federación Nacional de Asociaciones de
Periodistas y Editores de México (FENAPEM)
pidió a todos los Congresos Locales del país impulsar y aprobar la Ley para la
Protección de Personas Defensoras de Derechos Humanos y Periodistas en cada
entidad—como la aprobada el mes pasado en la Cámara de Diputados del Congreso
de la Unión-- , “pero que sea una Ley Integral que no solo contemple la
implementación de medidas urgentes de prevención y protección de periodistas,
fotógrafos y comunicadores, también debe contemplar la comunicación como un
derecho humano fundamental e incluir el acceso a un salario justo, una
vivienda, servicios de salud dignos, capacitación constante y seguro de vida
para ellos y sus familias”.
Las leyes estatales deben sancionar más severamente
las o los funcionarios que utilicen, sustraigan, oculten, alteren o aprovechen
información que ponga en riesgo o cause daño a la persona defensora de
derechos humanos y periodistas.
Finalmente, el presidente de SOS Discriminación
Internacional Querétaro, recordó que la Comisión Nacional de los Derechos
Humanos (CNDH) indicó que se tiene el reporte de 79 homicidios ocurridos y 14
desapariciones de comunicadores, y 26 atentados a instalaciones de medios en el
mismo lapso en el país. Por ello, representantes de la Relatoría Especial para
la Libertad de Expresión de la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos y de
la Relatoría Especial de las Naciones Unidas para la Libertad de Opinión y
Expresión, han afirmado que “la libertad de expresión en México se enfrenta a
graves obstáculos”. Por eso, la República Mexicana se ha convertido en el
lugar más peligroso para ejercer el periodismo en América Latina.

Bangor RFC v Donaghadee restart catch
Crushing win against the Dee
by Roger Corbett
In a keenly anticipated local derby, Donaghadee briefly took the lead by 3-8, until Bangor produced what is becoming something of a trademark in turning the game around, and responded with a further 53 unanswered points to win convincingly by 56-8.
The sun certainly shone on Upritchard Park on Saturday – our final corporate lunch of the season, glorious playing conditions, the earlier loss to Donaghadee avenged with style, and the 6 Nations secured in Paris. Also among the large crowd of spectators who lined the touchlines were Ulster stars Craig Gilroy and Mike McComish. With the pitch in perfect condition, and the weather conditions glorious, the scene was set for a great afternoon’s sport.
Like Bangor the week before, Donaghadee were catching up with their fixtures, and this marked their third game in 8 days. However, nobody would have thought it as they took the game to Bangor straight from the kick-off. Within a couple of minutes, they had forced a penalty in front of Bangor’s posts, which was successfully converted. However, this was soon cancelled out when the Dee conceded a penalty which Mark Thompson kicked to level the scores at 3-3 after just 6 minutes.
Worryingly for Bangor, the Dee back line were working well together and finding gaps through the centre of play. With 16 minutes gone, the Dee continued to press forward having once again broken through the Bangor line. Some slick passing from right to left found the Dee winger who ran in to score the first try of the day in the left hand corner and, with the conversion missed, re-take the lead by 3-8.
Having let the earlier game at Donaldson Park get too far away from them, Bangor knew that a quick response was needed. Most of the following play was in the Donaghadee twenty two, with Bangor patiently building their attacking platform. Although several waves were repelled by a stubborn Dee defence, persistence finally paid off when Andrew Jackson was driven over the line to score and level the scores once again.
Another successful penalty, this time by Neil Cuthbertson, put Bangor narrowly in front by 11-8 as the first half drew to a close.
One often wonders what magic words (or otherwise) are conjured up in the team huddle at half time. It may sound simple, but when play resumes Bangor appear to have identified the problems of the first half, and put together a plan to correct these in the second. As the Dee re-started the game, it is unlikely that their half time talk prepared them for what was to come.
Having immediately raised the tempo, an early Bangor attack was halted by the Dee centre killing the ball, and earning a yellow card as a result. From the penalty and subsequent line-out that followed, the well-proven ‘catch and drive’ was put to good effect, with Jamie Clegg getting the ball down in the right hand corner. The kick was missed, making the score 16-8.
At this early stage in the second half, the game was still wide open. Donaghadee’s big forwards worked hard in both the set pieces and rucks, but the positional kicking was not always as effective. On one such occasion, the high ball was safely taken in the Bangor twenty two by Richard Corbett who brought play infield before passing to Jason Morgan in the centre. Having then split the Dee back line with a great injection of pace, Morgan passed to full back Josh Devitt who had the simplest of runs to score under the posts. With Cuthbertson adding the extras, Bangor’s lead had stretched to 23-8.
It took just another 3 minutes to add a fourth try, and with it the bonus point. Once again, the move started deep in Bangor territory, with Mark Widdowson jinking his way towards the 10 metre line. Although well tackled, he managed to off-load to Morgan who advanced the move towards the Dee twenty two. Although Morgan’s path to the line was blocked, he made a well-timed pass outside to Curtis Stewart who came steaming up the left wing to score. The conversion was missed, but in the space of 10 minutes, Bangor had secured the bonus point and taken complete control as their lead was now 28-8.
As some Dee heads started to drop, and with a quarter of the game remaining, Bangor now went for the jugular. Another good combination of ball-handling and support play saw Morgan rewarded for his hard work, gathering a pop pass by Mike Weir to score under the posts. Jackson recorded his second try of the day 5 minutes later, rounding off a great move started by Ricky Armstrong, and then powerfully taken on by James Henly, before rounding the last defender to score. A further 5 minutes elapsed before Morgan got his second try, courtesy of an excellent run down the left wing by prop Phil Whyte. The rout was completed by Devitt who intercepted a loose Dee pass in his own twenty two before running the length of the pitch to top off a sparkling performance. With Cuthbertson converting all these tries, the final score had leapt to a comprehensive 56-8 victory.
This was another great Bangor performance that completely justified the final result. For the Dee, this may just have been a game too far in such a short period. However, on current form, Bangor have shown themselves to be a force to contend with, and with just 2 more league games remaining, will want to maintain this form and finish hard on Portadown’s heels. For Donaghadee’s part, their recent run of good results has placed them safely in the middle of the table, and their focus now will be on a testing Towns Cup semi-final at Ballynahinch. It would be fair to say that despite our close rivalry, we at Bangor wish them every success.
