White House applauds EU decision on Hezbollah

WASHINGTON (AP) ? The White House is applauding the European Union's decision to label the military wing of Hezbollah a terrorist group.

White House spokesman Jay Carney says it sends a clear message that there are consequences for the Lebanese group's terrorist activities, including a deadly attack last year in a Bulgarian resort and a plot to kill Israelis in Cyprus.

Carney says the EU decision will allow European officials to crack down on Hezbollah's fundraising, logistics and terror plots in Europe.

He says Hezbollah threatens global stability. He's specifically mentioning Hezbollah's support for Syrian President Bashar Assad.

The EU's 28 foreign ministers reached the decision unanimously on Monday. The Iranian-backed Hezbollah plays a pivotal role in Lebanese politics and has sent members to bolster Assad's forces in their assault of rebel-held areas.

From Rome to Rio: Masses welcome Pope Francis to Brazil

2 million pilgrims are expected to visit Rio this week for the first international trip by the new Pontiff, and the first visit by a South American Pope to the continent.

50,000 The number of? residents in the Manguinhos favela in the south of the country, which the Pope will visit on Thursday afternoon. Also on Thursday he will receive the ?golden keys? to the city, before saying mass on Copacabana beach.

?102m? Estimated cost for the five-day visit, 70 per cent of which will come from sponsorship and pilgrims, and 30 per cent from the government; estimates claim World Youth Day alone will boost Brazil?s economy by $1.2bn (?780 million).

?192m will be spent on lodging and meals, with the average tourist expected to spent around ?90 a day on accommodation, transportation and food.

0 The Pope will not be using the bulletproof Popemobile during his visit, preferring instead an open-topped car, despite his itinerary taking in some of Rio?s most violent favelas.

15,200 The number of military personnel who will protect the Pope, with 40 elite bodyguards shadowing his every move. Breaking down the numbers, 10,200 will be deployed in Rio for the Pope?s meeting with the President; the mass on Copacabana beach on Thursday, and on Friday when he drives through what are expected to be huge crowds in Rio in an open-topped car. More than 5,000 troops will be stationed in S?o Paulo on Wednesday to guard the Aparecida shrine.

10,000 police and civil defence officers, including firefighters and paramedics, will be on hand to provide assistance to the public, while plainclothes? officers will mingle with the crowds.

84,000 people volunteered for the festival, of which 60,500 have been picked ? 52,500 are Brazilians and 8,000 are international helpers. They will be positioned at 45 information points and in designated areas for the festival.

7,000 troops will lock down the area for the final two events; the prayer vigil on Saturday evening and the open air mass on Sunday in Campus Fidei in Guaratiba. Pope Francis will be protected at the altar by 400? soldiers, dressed not in uniform but in suits. A total of 13,700 security personnel including the armed? forces and the police will be? stationed on both nights.

1 million The Pope has chosen to meet with a group of young Rio prison inmates on Friday and the day will be rounded off with a ?Way of the Cross? ceremony which he will lead along the streets of Rio. On Saturday, the Catholic leader will attend a meeting with politicians and? entrepreneurs at Rio?s Municipal Theatre. In the evening, he will hold a prayer vigil with more than one million youths in Guaratiba. Finally, on Sunday, Pope Francis will end? the World Youth Day 2013 with an open-air mass.

10 The Brazilian Air Force? will employ 10 aircraft for logistical support to the event; eight helicopters and two aeroplanes. Pope Francis and the papal entourage will be transported to locations by helicopter. Supersonic Tucano fighter jets, two helicopters and two unmanned drones will supervise and monitor ground movements and remain in the air during the entirety of the Pontiff?s visit.

60 During public celebrations in Guaratiba and Copacabana there will be a no flyover zone of up to a 60-mile radius.

45 Pope Francis had the option of occupying a 77sq metres room, but he has said he would prefer to sleep in a suite that is just 45sq metres, with a single bed, a small desk, a rocking chair, a bedside table, a fridge and a small bathroom.

10,000 The Brazilian Mint will launch a? commemorative coin in honour of the Pope?s visit. The medal is made of bronze, silver and gold, and is 50mm in diameter. 10,000 will? be made; 7,000 in bronze, 2,950 in silver and 50 in gold. The bronze medal will cost R$45 (?13), the? silver, R$230 (?68). The gold coin will be produced only on demand after the initial 50 are made.

123.3 million Brazil has the largest Catholic population in the world, but Pope Francis arrives at a time when the numbers of faithful are steadily falling and the Catholic Church is facing growing competition from evangelicals. According to the Pew Research Centre Analysis, based on census data, Brazil?s Catholic population fell from 125 million in 2000 to 123 million in 2010, dropping from 74 per cent to 65 per cent of the? country?s total population. The gain went to the Protestants, which rose from 26 million (15 per cent) in 2000 to 42 million (22 per cent) in 2010.

600 More than 600 free activities will take place in Rio during the five days of the festival, including 45 exhibitions in different locations; 158 bands performing 362 shows in 19 areas and guided tours around 34 churches.

59 Around 59 groups from 15 nationalities will perform theatre and dance shows, and there will be 200 cinema activities with 150 screenings and three international premieres. Opportunities will be available to go on hikes, bike rides and sight-seeing tours with Sugar Loaf Mountain and the Statue of Christ the Redeemer staying open until midnight for the first time, in a move to ensure everyone gets a chance to visit? the sites.

250+ The number of international? bishops who will hold the catechises at which the themes of World Youth Day will be developed and explained. The? sessions will take place from today until Friday. 133 of the events will be conducted in Portuguese and 50 in Spanish, with a further 25 in English; 15 in Italian and French; eight in German; and five in Polish. In total, the catechises will be held in 20? different languages, including Arabic, Croatian, Danish, Slovenian, Greek, Czech and Russian.

2 different types of accommodation will be on offer to pilgrims; the ?Simple? and the ?Alternative?. Groups choosing the Simple option have to bring sleeping bags and a mat. They will be given accommodation with Brazilian families, in parish centres, public and private schools, universities, gymnasiums and community centres. All facilities will be equipped with water, showers and toilets. The Alternative option is for those pilgrims who want to book their own accommodation. Once travellers have registered for the event everybody receives a pilgrim kit that includes a cap, a T-shirt, a pre-paid meal card; a transportation card; a pilgrim ID; a crucifix and a pilgrim guide to the events and? activities on offer.

110 countries have? representatives at the event. More than 7,000 are expected from America; 7,000 will also attend from Italy, while Spain has registered 3,000, 2,000 are coming from Germany and a further 1,700 from Poland. In total, organisers expect to welcome representatives from all 45 European countries.

1.36million? The evening vigil and final mass on 27 and 28 July will be held at Campus Fidei in Guaratiba, where a 1.36 million sq metre complex has been built to receive the pilgrims. The site contains 4,673 toilets, 615 washbasins, 4,920 water fountains, 2,016 urinals and 33 LED video screens for the? audience to watch proceedings.

22 plots will make up the site, each of which is equivalent in size to seven Maracana Stadium football pitches. The? pilgrims will also be able to buy products at the WYD Rio2013? Official Store. Everything is designed so that the pilgrims do not need to move between areas to find the desired services.

75 The stage where Pope Francis will lead the ceremonies will be 75 metres wide and 68 metres deep. A platform lift will provide access to the altar and the sacristy, while a 33-metre high cross, two iron structures that resemble praying hands pointing? towards the sky and columns with the words ?friendship?, ?love? and ?marriage? will form the backdrop? to the stage.

My Perfect Craft Organizer - From Chaos to Clutter Free

?This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group? and Home Depot & Rubbermaid, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #AllAccessOrganizers ?http://cmp.ly/3/8vNxcO.?

I have a shameful secret.

See that fabulous armoire?

Well open those doors at your own risk ?

because you may be buried under piles of glitter, glue, paint and paper and who knows what else that?s buried deep within.

I no longer live in fear, afraid to open those doors and peek inside.

I?ve found a solution!?

Rubbermaid?All Access? Organizers have literally saved my life (or at least saved me from a concussion)!

The former baskets were pretty but for all I knew, there were six year old Twinkies squished at the bottom.

Now I can see the light ?

and see my craft supplies thanks to the clear front doors that open from both the top and front so they can be easily stacked.

This is seriously genius!

Clear drop down front panels so I can stack these up to the moon and still see inside and access everything I need.

First step, craft armoire organization ?

next step, world domination (or at least my closet).

I found my fabulous Rubbermaid?All Access? Organizers?at Home Depot.

House GOP spending bill targets EPA

Straining to meet their budget targets, House Republicans proposed a new round of deep cuts from environmental, arts, and wildlife programs Monday, going billions of dollars beyond the across-the-board reductions already ordered by sequestration in March.

The $24.3 billion natural resources bill represents a $5.5 billion reduction from what Congress had approved only last spring and is about $4 billion below what the agencies have been living with since March.

Continue Reading

An estimated $1.5 billion in emergency funding is added to meet fire-fighting costs and the Forest Service?s budget would grow chiefly because of wildfire prevention and suppression programs. But elsewhere the picture is exceptionally bleak.

(PHOTOS: Best lines from Obama?s sequestration presser)

The Environmental Protection Agency is among those hardest hit, with its annual funding reduced by about a third to $5.5 billion. The much smaller Fish and Wildlife Service is also cut 27 percent below what had been enacted earlier this year.

Appropriations for the National Endowments for the Arts and Humanities would be virtually cut in half. No funding is provided for the Woodrow Wilson International Center.

The Indian Health Service escapes further reductions but gets no relief either from the cuts already made under sequestration. In the case of the National Park Service, the bill adds back about $24 million to operating accounts to keep facilities open next year.

(PHOTOS: How sequestration could affect you)

?Simply put, this bill makes very difficult choices in an extremely tough budget environment,? said Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho), who chairs the natural resources subcommittee. ?We are going to see these kind of dramatic reductions as long as we keep trying to reduce the debt by cutting discretionary spending alone, rather than also tackling mandatory spending, which is the real driver of our debt.?

Testing Out The Ford Fiesta ST, Ford Focus ST & The Hybrid Ford C-Max

Last week, I had a chance to test-drive the new 2014 Ford Fiesta ST, Ford Focus ST and Ford C-Max, Ford?s hybrid car. My favorite of the three was the Fiesta, although the C-Max blew me away in terms of quiet power and gee-whiz visual controls. But it was the Fiesta that partied its way into my heart.

The reason is actually quite simple. The Fiesta ST is a world car and what you?re buying in the U.S.A. is a European spec car, which means it handles like a German car. Ford invited me to test their cars as part of their Ford EcoBoost Challenge, which is visiting cities throughout the U.S. Here is what my impressed me most of the Fiesta:

Engine
The 2014 Ford Fiesta ST is equipped with 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers an impressive 197 hp and 202 lb.-ft. torque. That is more power than my Mercedes Benz SLK, and it weighs 3,110 lbs., while the Fiesta tips the scales at just 2,742 lbs. As you might expect, with a weight-to-horsepower ratio that?s better than a 2006 Porsche Boxster, the Fiesta is satisfyingly quick. The turbo-charged four-cylinder engine boosts power when needed and does a great job to keep the Fiesta ST moving.

Access
The Ford Fiesta ST has a keyless, pushbutton ignition and the trunk features, thankfully, a full-size spare. Entry and egress was very easy, even for a six-footer like me, although I did see a rather rotund test-driver struggle with getting situated. My sense is that unless you wrestle in the heavy-weight class, you will do just fine.

Navigation
I could not test the Ford SYNC system since it requires registering an account, but the navigation and entertainment system worked as advertised, once you figure out that to call up the individual system elements, you have to press the outer corners.

My Ford Fiesta ST featured the must-have Recaro seats with red contrast insets that will blow your, and your passengers?, mind. Available in ?Molten Orange? or ?Smoke Storm? colors.

Audio
This Fiesta was equipped with the optional Sony Audio System with HD Radio, which played music well, although in our, albeit limited, testing, the audio quality did not exactly take our breath away. But it should satisfy anyone, lest you have ?golden ears,? you know who we?re talking about?you!

Climate Control
We had no problem with the Fiesta?s climate control, which worked well, although on a chilly San Francisco summer day, it was hard to tell how well. Suffice it to say, we think it should function correctly in most of the world.

Steering Wheel Controls
I also liked the Ford Fiesta?s layout controls the best of the trio of Ford cars I drove. Both the Ford Focus ST and C-Max have unbelievably cluttered steering wheel controls. I don?t understand why Ford designers can?t standardize on one particular layout, with an easy-to-use human interface, and run with it.

iDevice Integration
The Ford Fiesta ST comes equipped with a USB plug and can accommodate both USB thumb drives or SD cards filled with music. You can also directly integrate Android phones, although iPhones need to be plugged in. Ford?s SYNC has too many features to list here, so read this page.

Bluetooth syncing with my iPhone worked immediately and the Ford Fiesta comes with a trial subscription to SiriusXM Traffic and Travel Link. The entertainment system also features a Pandora internet radio4 and, for optimum parking. a rear-view camera is available as an option.

User Experience
What can I say about the Recaro seats? They?re world famous for providing great support and you simply can?t go wrong with this option. The doors closed solidly and there was no evidence of any rattles or poor assembly.

The Fiesta offers a lot of standard niceties and options that make motoring pleasant, including power moonroof, ambient lighting, Bluetooth integration, cap-less fuel filler, heated front seats. Ford SYNC Services are complimentary for the first three years and offer turn-by-turn directions, 411 business search, personalized sports scores, news, stock quotes and even your horoscope.

Front-wheel-drive, four-wheel disc brakes, 205/40WR17 tires and not an overly assisted rack-and-pinion power steering added up to a very drivable experience. The Fiesta ST is rated at 26 mpg in city driving and 35 mpg highway. It is also only available with a six-speed manual transmission, which, unfortunately, does not offer hill assist (a big plus in San Francisco).

The Ford Fiesta has a full complement of navigation and digital controls that should make any Digital Lifestyle denizen very happy indeed. Hands-free calling using your Bluetooth phone allows you to answer calls at the touch of a button, and even issue commands to get news, stock quotes or, gasp, your horoscope.

Conclusion
Car and Driver notes that the Fiesta ST went from zero to 60 mph in 6.7 sec, which supports our observation that the car is fast enough. The steering was good and not wobbly like the Ford Focus ST I drove, which may have needed some type of steering adjustment. Driving position was great and the Recaro seats hugged my body in the right way.

Performance
ACCELERATION: 0-60 in 6.7 seconds
BRAKING: N.A.
TOP SPEED: 137 mph
POWER: 197 hp (turbo-charged DOHC, four valves-per-cylinder engine)
FUEL ECONOMY: EPA city/highway: 26/35 mpg (projected)
LENGTH: 160.1 in (4.64 m)
WEIGHT: 2742 lb (1244 kg)
PRICE: $25,475 (as tested)
