For over one hundred years, the International Critical Commentary series has held a special place among works on the Bible. It has sought to bring together all the relevant aids to exegesis—linguistic and textual no less than archaeological, historical, literary and theological—with a level of comprehension and quality of scholarship unmatched by any other series.
No attempt has been made to secure a uniform theological or critical approach to the biblical text: contributors have been invited for their scholarly distinction, not for their adherence to any one school of thought.

text: Modern languages & literatures professor wins National Endowment for the Humanities grant to edit, translate Franco-Italian epic October 10, 2013 | By Nick Alexopulos Leslie Zarker Morgan, Ph.D., professor of Italian and French in the modern languages and literatures department at Loyola University Maryland, has been awarded a $200,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) to create a digital edition and modern English translation of the last unedited Franco-Italian epic, Huon d'Auvergne. Morgan will lead a team of five other scholars from U.S. and European universities over the course of the three-year project that will require them to examine Huon line-by-line. Comprised of three manuscripts and another manuscript fragment from the 14th and 15th centuries, Huon is written in arbitrarily mixed French and Italian without modern-style capitalization, punctuation, or spacing. "The Huon story is very important because it shows the cultural interaction and the depth of relations between France and Italy in the 14th and 15th centuries," said Morgan. "But each manuscript is slightly different, and that's why it's never been edited." The manuscripts tell the fictional story of Huon d'Auvergne, who was sent to hell by King Charles Martel of France to obtain 'tribute' – payment from one ruler to another for protection – from the devil. King Martel's true motivation, however, was jealousy; he desired Huon's wife and needed him out of the picture indefinitely. The king was confident Huon would never return from hell. The story also incorporates elements of Dante's Inferno, and Morgan says Huon could be the first text in history to reference the iconic work. "From these manuscripts we see how rapidly Dante came into relevance because he died in the first part of the 14th century, and to have something already using quotes from his material in 1341 makes it very significant," said Morgan. Her team will modify the spacing for modern readers, add capital letters and punctuation, and create annotations and a glossary. This effort will convert the texts into a readable form. The first, which is more than 12,000 lines in length, will be translated into English. Once the project is complete in late 2016, the readable editions and English translation will be posted online by the University of South Carolina's humanities computing section. The NEH Scholarly Editions and Translations grant funds course release time, travel, and computer work. Her collaborators on the project are: Shira Schwam-Baird, Ph.D., professor of French, University of North Florida Stephen Patrick McCormick, Ph.D., assistant professor of French, University of South Carolina Alan Bernstein, Ph.D., emeritus professor of medieval history, University of Arizona Michela Scattolini, Ph.D., completed postdoctoral research at University of Fribourg (Switzerland); resides in northern Italy Jean-Claude Vallecalle, emeritus professor of medieval French language and literature, Université Lyon-2 (France) Morgan completed a similar project in 2009. That solo edition took 35 years and covered 17,000 lines of a single medieval manuscript. Morgan's team expects to begin this project in January 2014.

To the EDN:
I would like to thank the ELC District School Board for allowing us to submit a proposal and say a few words at the hearing on Monday evening. We appreciated the opportunity. We would also like to congratulate Ms. Pyawasit of A Child's World Daycare Center for being awarded the opportunity to purchase the McKinley Building. All of the staff and our Board of Directors wish her all of the success in the future.
I wanted to be able to share a few things surrounding what I observed and what was said at the hearing in the hopes of dissuading any misperception or misconceptions regarding UDMO's and our Head Start programs intent for placing an offer to also purchase this facility.
First, I must say that I was surprised at the passion and conviction of the community at their support of the issue regarding accessibility and availability of retaining child care in the community of Estherville. It is this type of "community action" that makes our communities in northwest Iowa such a wonderful place to live. I am just as humbled at the level of concern and support expressed by the community members of Estherville to retain a much needed child care provider for their community. However, as I said at the hearing, A Child's World was NEVER and I repeat NEVER at any risk of having to close their doors if UDMO was awarded the option for purchase. We have and always will be in the business of sustaining and promoting quality child care for all of the communities in our service area. I am not certain as to who and how this misconception was ever conveyed to Ms. Pyawasit, the parents who used the child care, and concerned citizens, but it was exactly that; a misconception and untrue. One that was never expressed by anyone from UDMO. Unfortunately, Ms. Pyawasit could not and would not offer the same concession to our Early Head Start program as stated at the hearing.
A little over a year ago, when we and Ms. Pyawasit learned that the ELC School District was looking to divest themselves of the McKinley Building, UDMO staff and Ms. Pyawasit met and discussed with her the purchase of the facility. It was shared with us at that time that she was concerned at her ability to afford the facility as well as her ability maintain it ongoing. We assured her that we would be willing to partner with her no matter if she owned it or UDMO purchased it. We would support A Child's World in providing child care to the community. We included Ms. Pyawasit in all of our discussions throughout this time and have never had a hidden agenda. This has been our position then and was our expressed position at the hearing on Monday evening. Nothing has ever changed.
As we conveyed to the reporter and to the board that evening, our primary reason for any interest to purchase the facility was the same as A Child's World; to insure that our Early Head Start Program had a home now and in the future, just like the one we guaranteed Ms. Pyawasit for A Child's World. We expressed that we were willing to enter into a long term lease. Our goal was to protect the interests of the children and families we served and this would be accomplished by assuring that we could meet all licensing and over 1,800 federal regulations mandated on our Head Start program. UDMO is not conglomerate like Walmart; seeking to control the child care in the community. We can only serve what and who we are funded to serve. As a matter of fact, many of our parents use A Child's World services in the morning and at the end of the day for the hours that Early Head Start did not provide care. Obviously, it was in our best interest that we promoted and supported A Child's World as much as possible.
It was interesting and discerning to listen to some of the concerns as to what local citizens felt about UDMO's intent. I want to let everyone know that UDMO and our Head Start program are not the "bad guys" in this recent issue. Like A Child's World, we leased space from the school and had the use of only 38.6% of the space. It wasn't possible for us to be "squeezing anyone out" when A Child's World controlled the space used! In addition, we were asked, and we agreed, to let Ms. Pyawasit, use some of the space we are currently paying rent on over the summer months. Again, this is space UDMO Head Start is paying rent on. We entered into a contract with A Child's World and paid our utilities based on the space we rented and in addition, we paid for the purchase and installation of the playground and the equipment as well as renovated the kitchen and installed the appliances and water softener, and made numerous other renovations to the building at a cost of almost $200,000 and all of this was used by A Child's World at no cost. It is evident that we at no time took advantage nor had the upper hand in this collaboration/partnership. Like A Child's World, we were there to provide services to the children and families enrolled in our program. Our Early Head Start program generates several hundred thousand dollars a year in revenue to the community through salaries and expenses paid by the program. We would also be obligated to the same property taxes as the school system was and since A Child's World used most of the space we would have had to pay 61.4% of the tax owed on the facility per year.
So what are we trying to say? We understand how important child care is to families and the communities in which they live. We understand the importance of quality early childhood care and education and work hard every day to insure that we remain in the forefront in providing quality services to our most vulnerable children and their families. To be successful at this, we also understand the importance of community partnership and collaboration. What our Head Start program and our entire community action agency does can be summed up in our promise:
"Community Action changes people's lives, embodies the spirit of hope, improves communities, and makes America a better place to live. We care about the entire community, and we are dedicated to helping people help themselves and each other"
This is our commitment and our "intention" for the communities we serve. No hidden agenda. We will continue to provide the highest quality early childhood development services possible and will continue to collaborate with partners in the community who share the same convictions. We would have simply wished that we were addressed with concerns before the hearing and before a decision was made to dispel any misperceptions. Unfortunately, this issue had to have a winner and/or a loser, and sadly the issue was never thoroughly discussed. We would have loved the opportunity to dispel any misperceptions and misconceptions. We at UDMO believe there are always multiple sides to an issue and possibly more than one solution. I, for one, always try to not form judgments on any issue without getting the "whole story".
We are going to work diligently at maintaining our partnerships in Estherville and are committed to providing our Head Start services in the county of Emmet. We see this issue as a learning opportunity and will work with all community members with the goal of developing "all" early childhood development services where needed. We have been a partner and devoted member of the Estherville community for over 30 years and will be there in the decades to come, serving and supporting the community, individuals, children and families in need of our services. Thank you.
Jamey M. Whitney,
Executive Director-Upper Des Moines Opportunity, Inc.

Desjardins Global Asset Management chooses Mirova for delegated management of a green bond fund
Mirova, an asset management company dedicated to responsible investment, is announcing today that it was selected by Desjardins Global Asset Management to provide delegated management of an international green bond fund, the Desjardins SocieTerra Environmental Bond Fund, for a total of 100 million Canadian dollars.
The Desjardins SocieTerra Environmental Bond Fund puts the Global Green Bond strategy managed by Mirova into action. This fund will receive the recognized expertise of Mirova's bond specialist teams, which are leaders in the area of green bonds.
Like Mirova's Global Green Bond strategy, the Desjardins SocieTerra Environmental Bond Fund will be steered with active management and conviction management. The fund's main performance driver will be investment in debt securities that support the environmental and energy transition, described as green bonds by Mirova's responsible investment research team. As such, the management approach will combine financial and non-financial tactics: specific analysis of each project financed, ESG analysis of the issuer, and fundamental analysis to determine the bond's financial attractiveness. The fund will try to benefit from different international economic cycles by diversifying in terms of geography, economic sector, and credit rating.
The Desjardins SocieTerra Environmental Bond fund will be managed by Christopher Wigley, with Marc Briand, co-manager and head of Fixed-income at Mirova who will particularly rely on Mirova's responsible investment research team of 12 analysts.
Philippe Zaouati, CEO of Mirova, commented on the announcement: "We are proud to have received this management mandate from Desjardins Global Asset Management. It is proof that our expertise in green bond management is recognized on the market. Additionally, this mandate is part of our international growth strategy at Mirova, a strategy that is clearly beginning to pay off."
Michel Lessard, Vice President of Desjardins Global Asset Management added: "By financing tangible assets, green bonds fill direct, concrete needs: they enable issuers to diversify their investor base and investors to actively participate in financing the energy transition. We are delighted, alongside Mirova, to commit to this energy transition by launching the Desjardins SocieTerra Environmental Bond Fund, the first green bond fund on the Canadian market."

Scott Wisniewski necesitaba un nuevo diseño de botón o icono y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 37 diseños de 7 diseñadores freelance.
I'm looking for a series of icons for use in a desktop application interface.
Most of the icons are stock UI idioms, except for the "main" application icon.
The application its self is a utility the automatically backups files and folders as they are modified, and then allows users to browse files, view their history, compare two versions of files / folders, and restore previous versions.
The main application icon. This should come in the following forms:- A 3D version, with persepective and shadows, for use on the desktop / start menu. - A flat version, for use in the task bar. - A flat version, for use in the system tray (this requires a distinctive border) - A system tray version with an "error" annotation in the bottom right corner - A system tray version with a "warning" annotation in the bottom right corner - A system tray version with an "ok" checkmark annotation in the bottom right corner - A system tray version with a "sync" / "busy" annotation in the bottom right cornerThe following other icons:- An information icon. - An error icon - A warning icon - A pause / play icon - A delete icon. This needs to be distinguished from the error icon. I like something like a circle with a line through it. - A folder icon - A "calendar view" icon. - A incon representing a "snapshot" - An "add" (plus) icon - A "remove" (minus) icon - A sync / busy icon - An hour glass icon. - A search icon. - A restore icon - Forward and backward navigation buttonsOverlays that can be applied to document / folder icons to indicate:
- A file / folder is deleted - Play - Pause - Error - Sync / Busy
The icon's should all conform to the windows vista icon style guidelines. They should be iconic, not photo realistic. Where appropriate (i.e. not in the adornments or the flat icons), the images should have perspective, be shiny, and have drop shadows. The light source should come from the front-left corner. Please drop or modify effects as necessary in the lower resolution images.
Also, I need the original source images (with all the layers), so that I can make modifications if I need to.
I don't want photo realistic images. They should be iconic.

The Calgary Roughnecks have agreed to terms with seven players as well as designating Geoff Snider as a franchise player in preparation for the 2014 National Lacrosse League season.
The Roughnecks have re-signed forwards Jeff Shattler (three years) and Dane Dobbie (one year) and defencemen Jon Harnett (two years) and Dan MacRae (two years). Calgary also signed 2013 draft selections Garrett McIntosh (third round, 24th overall) and Jake Hayes (fifth round, 43rd overall) and free agent Cody Hawkins to one-year contracts. In addition, forward Curtis Dickson and transition player Peter McFetridge have received qualifying offers.
Snider, a native of Calgary, Alberta, finished the 2013 regular season with a league-leading 310 face-off wins, 235 loose balls and 69 penalty minutes over 15 games played. The 32-year-old transition player has appeared in 43 games over the past three seasons with Calgary, recording 68 points (37 goals, 31 assists), 821 face-off wins (first among all franchise players) and 198 penalty minutes along with collecting 638 loose balls over that span. Snider spent four seasons with the Philadelphia Wings before the Roughnecks acquired him in August 2010.
Forwards Jeff Shattler (33 goals, 41 assists) and Dane Dobbie (40 goals, 32 assists) finished the 2013 regular season in the top-3 in team scoring. Named the Transition Player of the Year in 2011, Shattler has recorded 155 goals and 225 assists for 380 points over 111 games played with Calgary and holds the franchise record for most loose balls at 774. Dobbie, selected by Calgary in the first round, fourth overall, in 2007, has spent his entire six-year NLL playing career with the Roughnecks. The Elora, Ontario product has recorded 360 points, including 183 goals, and collected 272 loose balls in 78 games.
Dan MacRae, an Oakville, Ontario native, has recorded four goals and 20 assists for 24 points while collecting 175 loose balls over 46 games played. The Roughnecks selected the 25-year-old defenseman in the first round, sixth overall, in the 2010 NLL Entry Draft.
Over three seasons with Calgary, Jon Harnett, an Orangeville, Ontario product, has registered 22 points (three goals, 19 assists) along with collecting 113 loose balls. The Roughnecks acquired the 25-year-old defenseman in August 2010.

My son has a book called 'A Squash and a Squeeze'. It's about an old lady who complains that her house is too small, so a wise man tells her to move all her farm animals inside. She complains even more so he tells her to move them out. And, lo and behold, she realizes her house isn't so small after all.
Well, that's how we feel now that our renovation is finally finished and we have our house back. It never felt so spacious! Yes, the last coat of paint has dried, the boxes are unpacked, and I have promised to buy no more accessories (for a while at least). And I can at last share some photos of the finished result.
First of all, want to see what it looked like before?
Yup, featureless and old-fashioned. I can hardly believe we lived with it for 5 years. Pretty soon, it looked like this:
Horrific, right? This is known as the 'what-have-we-done-is-it-too-late-to-change-our-minds?' moment. To get through it, I had to keep a mental picture of what it would look like when finished, which was something like this:
But finally, after eating every last microwave dinner in our local store and working our way through stacks of paper plates, the work was done. And here's the finished result.
We blocked up the doorway leading from the kitchen to the bathroom, which gave us more countertop space and somewhere to put open shelves. Then we took out the doors that separated the kitchen from the dining room and family room to create more flow through all the spaces. We really wanted to have an eat-in kitchen but weren't willing to do major structural work. Instead, by tweaking the layout and using a cohesive scheme throughout, we really do now feel like it's all one space.
The goal was to have a predominantly white kitchen but to enliven it with subtle pattern in the tiles. The backsplash is silver travertine. It was quite an adventure selecting these and we nearly abandoned the idea when the first batch of tiles arrived looking too dark. But, after much agonizing – and an overnight shipment of new tiles from LA – we decided these were the ones. I'm so glad as they really make the kitchen.
The floor tiles were cut to size and laid in a herringbone design. I had originally wanted wood flooring to ensure continuity between all the rooms, but finding a match was impossible so we went for tiles in a complementary color to the flooring. The herringbone was intended to emulate period wood floors – and also to repeat the zigzag pattern in the family room rug.
I have wanted waterfall countertops for as long as I can remember. Unfortunately, we don't have an island to wrap them around, but they work well at the end of these runs of cabinets. The edge profile is a reverse bevel, sometimes called a sharknose edge. It gives the appearance of a razor thin edge, which is the latest trend in countertops, but doesn't require a special cabinet. Basically, it's a great way to cheat!
The kitchen used to lead onto a small sunroom, which we used as a playroom. But we took advantage of the remodel to switch the layout around and we made this little room into our dining room. It's small but the table easily fits six, which is perfect for our needs. And the best part is now we can see the table from the kitchen so it feels like we have an eat-in kitchen. The table is from Room and Board and is a licensed reproduction of the Eero Saarinen table. The light fixture is the Link suspension pendant by LZF and I'll admit I was nervous about how it would look right up until it was installed. It's made of wood veneer, coaxed into the most incredible shape.
Moving the dining room freed up our former dining space to be a large family room. We needed more room for the kids to play, so we kept this space deliberately open. No coffee table – we wanted as much floor space free as possible for train tracks, Hotwheels jumps and the like. The toys are all stashed in the sideboard at the end of the day. The Cherner chair was chosen because it doesn't create too much of a visual block between the rooms – but it's also surprisingly comfortable.
We also renovated the small powder room that used to be next to the kitchen. Filling in the doorway from the kitchen meant we finally had somewhere to put a basin. Can you believe this bathroom didn't even have a sink before?
I have a thing for mother of pearl inlay, so was this mirror was a big factor in the design of this space. Everything else needed to be simple and modern, so the mirror would stand out. And the dark walls (Benjamin Moore Iron Mountain) were another gamble that we feel paid off.
This is a split powder room, so the toilet is actually in a miniscule room of its own. The good news is this created an opportunity to give the walls a different finish. I'd been longing for somewhere to use this Cole & Son Rajapur wallpaper and this tiny space was perfect for it. It really lightens everything up. Good job too as before it was a bit like being in a vertical coffin! (Despite my other half's valiant wallpapering efforts two years ago).
Of course, I'm still tinkering with the rooms and re-styling them daily. But it's so great to be moved back in. I'm grateful that we had a great architect (David Seidel) and general contractor (Brad Doran) to get us through the project on time and on budget. They made sure we thought through every detail in advance and that the work was impeccable.
So, next stop, the master bathroom. But, if you don't mind, I'll take a few months' breather first…

June 4th is especially sensitive not only because of potential criticism for the government but because people can use it as a jumping-off point to bring people together. That is even more terrifying to them —Jason Q. Ng, University of Toronto's Citizen Lab
BEIJING — Remember June 4, Shi Shusi asked the 1.5 million readers of his popular microblog last year. Moments later, his postings were erased. A note from the microblog operator said they were "inappropriate publicity."
This year, a discouraged Shi hasn't posted anything about the anniversary of the 1989 crackdown that crushed pro-democracy protests at a cost of hundreds of lives.
"Major media treat it as if it never happened," said Shi. "Fewer and fewer young people get to know this issue. There is no opportunity to discuss it nowadays."
Communist leaders have spent 25 years making sure of that. Far from easing off as China went through three changes of ruling party leadership and a revolution in social media, a relentless campaign aimed at erasing public memory of the most tumultuous event of the past three decades has been steadily updated and tightened.
1989 is hardly the only taboo for the ruling party. Tibet, Taiwan, the Falun Gong spiritual movement — all are subject to limits on what newspapers, bloggers and others are allowed to say. But even among the most explosive topics, 1989 stands out. Almost any mention is prohibited.
"June 4th is especially sensitive not only because of potential criticism for the government but because people can use it as a jumping-off point to bring people together," said Jason Q. Ng, a researcher at the University of Toronto's Citizen Lab who follows Chinese efforts to censor Internet content.
"That is even more terrifying to them," he said.
After the crackdown ordered by then-supreme leader Deng Xiaoping, communist leaders tried briefly to convince a skeptical Chinese public that violence against unarmed protesters was necessary to prevent a national disaster.
Leaders tried to evoke fear of a return to the chaos of the 1966-76 Cultural Revolution, when radicals ravaged the country. State TV showed rowdy pro-democracy protesters and restrained soldiers. Spokespeople rejected reports of unarmed protesters being killed as anti-Chinese propaganda.
"People just didn't buy that," said Jeffrey Wasserstrom, a historian at the University of California, Irvine, who studies Chinese student protest movements. "They had to stop telling that story and say, 'Let's not talk about this at all.'"
The upheaval cut short a trend in the late 1980s toward the ruling party allowing state-controlled media more freedom.
Then-party leader Zhao Ziyang had told regulators to ease press controls, which he said would "make things better." Newspapers responded by reporting on public frustration at corruption and social controls.
After the crackdown, Deng fired Zhao and replaced him with Jiang Zemin. He presided over a new strategy — "correct guidance of public opinion." It set the tone for pervasive controls over the next three decades as readers shifted from newspapers to websites to smartphones.
The Tiananmen crackdown "is absolutely crucial to understanding the way press censorship works today," said David Bandurski, editor of the China Media Project at Hong Kong University. "The notion was that you have to control public opinion through media control to maintain social and political stability."
Commentators who hoped the rise of satellite TV, the Internet and social media would loosen the party's monopoly on power were disappointed. As millions of Chinese went online and acquired smartphones, Beijing spent heavily to develop high-tech filters.
The size and cost of official censorship efforts is secret but China is believed to operate the world's most extensive system of monitoring and filters.
Each year ahead of June 4, mobile phone users engage in a cat-and-mouse competition with telecom carriers as they try to find new code words to evoke the anniversary in messages — such as calling the date May 35th — while censors try to detect and block them.
Censors added "Shanghai Composite Index" to the list of banned terms on June 4, 2012, after the country's stock market benchmark opened that day at 2,346.89 points — which could be read as the 23rd anniversary of June 4, 1989 — and ended down 64.89 points, which also looked like the date.
Private sector operators of blog, instant messaging and other social media services are required to employ teams of censors at their own expense.
"The primary mechanism is fear," said Bandurski. "They know if they don't comply, they lose access to the market."
On Tuesday, Beijing announced a crackdown aimed at popular instant messaging services used by some journalists and activists to distribute news reports and comments. The government complained such services are misused by "hostile forces at home and abroad."
Google Inc. closed its mainland China search engine in 2009, saying it no longer wanted to cooperate with censorship after hacking attacks aimed at stealing the company's operating code and breaking into email accounts were traced to China.
China is hardly the only government to try to stamp out volatile memories. In the 1980s, South Korea's then-military rulers forbade discussion of the 1980 killing of pro-democracy protesters in the southern city of Gwangju.
The Communist Party also has tried to blot out memories of a 1959-61 famine historians believe killed as many as 50 million Chinese.
The party has kept at it despite rising numbers of Chinese who live or travel abroad, where information about 1989 and iconic images, such as the photo of a protester standing in front of a column of tanks, are freely available.
"Fat Years," a 2009 novel by Hong Kong author Koonchung Chan, depicts a China whose rulers cause the whole population to forget a month when a devastating upheaval and crackdown occurred. The thinly veiled metaphor for 1989 was a bestseller in Chinese-language markets abroad and copies circulated widely in China. But no mainland edition was published.
Despite the scale of the task, the government has succeeded at stifling public discussion. If younger Chinese know about the crackdown, it is only through hearsay. Some parents say they avoid telling their children so they are not burdened with the knowledge.
Even among students who might be able to investigate the events, many seem not to care. Raised in an education system drenched in nationalistic propaganda and pride in two decades of strong economic growth, they see 1989 as a distant event and have trouble identifying with the protesters.
"Many people are not willing to spend time reflecting on this event," said Lu Qiuxuan, a university student in Beijing.
The party gives no sign of relenting on June 4. After he became party leader in 2012, President Xi Jinping made clear his lack of interest in easing information controls by ordering journalists to undergo Marxist training. He is due to stay in power for a decade.

CHICAGO (Reuters Life!) - Lung cancer death rates among women in the United States fell for the first time in four decades, trailing a similar decline in men that started a decade ago, U.S. cancer experts said on Thursday.
The lag reflects smoking trends among women, whose rate of smoking peaked later in the last century than U.S. men, according to an annual report on cancer by the National Cancer Institute, the American Cancer Society and others.
"I think it's about time," Dr. Edward Kim of the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, who was not involved with the report, said in a telephone interview.
"When you look at the data, for years the biggest concern has always been the mortality rate for women with lung cancer. That number had just kept steadily increasing," Kim said.
"I think it is a reflection that finally we are beginning to make a bit of headway," Kim said.
Lung cancer deaths among women fell about 1 percent per year between 2003 and 2007, reflecting an overall continued decline in cancer rates and deaths, a trend that began in early 1990s as early detection and better prevention and treatments have helped more people survive their cancers.
"The observed decreases in overall cancer incidence and death in nearly all racial and ethnic groups are highly encouraging," researchers wrote in the report, which was also conducted by the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
New cancer diagnoses among both men and women fell about 1 percent a year between 2003 and 2007, and death rates fell an average 1.6 percent a year during the same period.
But the rate of decline will likely be overshadowed by the growing numbers of people in the United States who are over age 65, a group that is expected to reach 71 million people in 2030, twice the number reported in the 2000 census. Elderly people are more susceptible to cancer.
"Even with declining cancer incidence rates, the absolute number of individuals diagnosed with cancer will continue to increase because of these populations," the researchers said.
That will lead to higher demand for cancer care, they said.
Among men, new cases of liver, kidney and pancreatic cancer and melanoma rose between 2003 and 2007, and rates of death for three of these cancers — liver and pancreatic cancer and melanoma — also rose.
In women, new cases of melanoma, leukemia, kidney, thyroid and pancreatic cancer rose in the 2003-2007 period, while cancer deaths in women rose among those with pancreatic and liver cancer. More women also died from uterine cancer in the 2003-2007 period, after falling from 1975 through 1997.
Cancer death rates in children continued a decline that started in the 1970s, but between 1992 and 2007, there was a slight uptick — about 0.6 percent a year — in the number of new cancer cases in children.
Black men and women had the highest death rates overall but also the largest declines in death rates from 1998 through 2007. For new cancers, black men and white women had the highest overall number of new cases.
The report dovetails with one released earlier this month that found nearly 12 million people in the United States are cancer survivors, almost four times as many as 40 years ago, reflecting big strides in cancer detection and treatment and the effect of an aging U.S. population.
The American Cancer Society estimates there were 1.5 million new cancer cases in the United States in 2010 and 569,490 deaths.

Car Review
2014 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid: New Car Review
For a long time, "hybrid" and "SUV" have been almost mutually exclusive -- not good if you're a fuel-conscious car shopper interested in combining hybrid gas mileage with SUV practicality. Yes, you could once get the Ford Escape Hybrid, but with its recent cancellation, the Toyota Highlander Hybrid was the only hybrid SUV that doesn't cost a fortune to buy.
Until now. Enter the 2014 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid, a midsize SUV that offers 3-row seating and hybrid power for less than $40,000 -- a combination previously unknown among SUVs. While it's not especially fast, the Pathfinder Hybrid offers what many SUV shoppers are looking for: family practicality and good fuel economy. And considering how well it works, we're surprised more automakers don't try something similar.
What's New for 2014?
While the Nissan Pathfinder was totally redesigned for the 2013 model year, the Pathfinder Hybrid is all-new for 2014.
What We Like
Excellent gas mileage; reasonable pricing; practical for families
What We Don't
Not especially quick; cargo capacity could be a little better
How Much?
Fuel Economy
The Pathfinder Hybrid offers just one engine and transmission combination: a 250-horsepower 2.5-liter hybrid 4-cylinder mated to a CVT automatic. It's rated at 25 miles per gallon city/28 mpg hwy with 2-wheel drive or 25 mpg city/27 mpg hwy with optional all-wheel drive.
Standard Features & Options
The Pathfinder Hybrid offers three trim levels: base-level SV, mid-level SL and luxurious Platinum.
Shoppers who choose the SV ($35,900) get 18-inch alloy wheels, tri-zone automatic climate control, remote keyless entry, split-folding second- and third-row seats, cruise control and a 6-disc CD changer.
Step up to the SL ($38,800) and you add leather upholstery, a remote engine starter, fog lights, heated front and rear seats, power front seats and a power rear lift gate. Opt for the SL's Premium Package ($1,700) and you'll get a panoramic sunroof and a Bose audio system.
Topping the Pathfinder Hybrid range is the upscale Platinum ($43,500), which adds 20-in alloy wheels, a navigation system with voice recognition and an 8-in touchscreen, Nissan's useful Around View Monitor camera system, Bluetooth Audio, heated and cooled front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a power tilt and telescoping steering wheel. For $2,200 extra, Platinum models also offer a Premium Package that includes a panoramic sunroof and a tri-zone rear entertainment system.
All Pathfinder Hybrid models include front side airbags, side-curtain airbags for all three rows, anti-lock brakes, stability control and traction control. Platinum models offer Nissan's useful Around View Monitor camera system, which gives drivers a 360-degree view around the vehicle -- an important item for low-speed driving in tight areas.
In government crash testing, the gas-powered Pathfinder earned four overall stars -- five in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's side-impact tests and four in front-impact and rollover assessments. While the Pathfinder Hybrid hasn't been tested, we'd expect it will perform similarly to the regular model.
Behind the Wheel
Like the normal Pathfinder, the Pathfinder Hybrid is a highly capable, well-mannered family crossover. Unlike the normal Pathfinder, there's one exception to the Pathfinder Hybrid's excellent on-road abilities: acceleration. While its 0-to-60 miles per hour time is around eight seconds, the Pathfinder Hybrid feels sluggish at higher speeds, such as passing on the highway. A 4-cylinder is just no match for the SUV's weight and size.
But many drivers will trade performance for fuel economy -- and we think that's a pretty good deal. After all, the Pathfinder Hybrid returns an excellent 25 mpg city, which is virtually unknown for midsize SUVs. And it does so with standard 3-row seating, a comfortable ride and a long list of standard equipment.
Beyond acceleration and gas mileage, we find the Pathfinder Hybrid to be very likable on the road. Steering is a bit numb, but the midsize crossover segment is hardly known for its sports-car-like handling. And while the CVT automatic is a little noisier than we'd like, it provides a smooth conduit for the Pathfinder Hybrid's power to reach the wheels.
Other Cars to Consider
Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel -- There's no third row, but the Grand Cherokee Diesel offers hybrid-rivaling gas mileage of 21 mpg city/28 mpg hwy. Its only problem is cost: Base pricing starts above $40,000.
Lexus RX Hybrid -- Like the mechanically similar Highlander Hybrid, the Lexus RX Hybrid offers more power than the Pathfinder, and better gas mileage. But there's no third row, and the Lexus starts at nearly $50,000 with shipping.
Toyota Highlander Hybrid -- The Pathfinder Hybrid's biggest competition is the Highlander Hybrid, which offers more power and better gas mileage. But it's also far more expensive, with base prices easily topping $40,000.
AutoTrader's Advice
If you're looking for fuel economy and family practicality, we'd find it difficult to pass up the 2014 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid. We recommend one of two models: For shoppers on a budget, go for a lightly optioned SV, as it's all you'll ever need. But if you want luxury, don't bother with the SL. Go straight for the high-end Platinum. Think of it as a Lexus RX Hybrid with a third row and you won't be disappointed.

This post is part of our annual Christmas Card-a-Day series! If you would like to submit your card, please click here for more details.
Thank you to Michelle Frisby, of Invercargill, New Zealand, for sharing her card design with us! Read on for her details:
I have adhered both scalloped cut papers to my easel card …
I've also cut some triangle banners and inked the edges.
I've wound string around my felt heart.
Added a little string to that chipboard button, and then, wait for it …
I've played and I've played and I've played … read here … layered … and I have ended up with something like this …
Let's take a closer look …
I've cut out a paper star and embossed around the edge using a shabby embossing enamel – then I've added a little ink as well.
I've used foam pop dots here and there and layered with a little muslin.
The hot glue gun has had a work out too … well that goes without saying these days.
And while making one card, it's just as easy to whip up another one at the same time, in this case, two very similar looking cards in no time at all.
Materials :
Teresa Collins – Santa's List paper pad
Shabby white embossing enamel
Twinklet Diamond Dust
Modeling paste
Foam dots
Hot glue gun
Metal dies/Cuttlebug
Felt hearts
It's starting to look a lot like Christmas.
Merry Christmas everyone.
Thank you, Michelle!

Michael and Nico today completed a flying tour of Mercedes-Benz facilities near the company headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany. After visiting the production facilities for the new A-Class and B-Class compact models in Rastatt, the drivers tried their hand at assembling the pistons and cylinder heads of a high-performance AMG engine at Mercedes-AMG in Affalterbach.
The 5.5 litre twin-turbo V8 engine will power the new Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG Shooting Brake, which will be given its world premiere at the "Night of the Stars" on 21st July in Hockenheim.
The Rastatt production facility in Baden celebrates its twentieth anniversary this year and is the centre of competence for production of Mercedes-Benz compact class vehicles. Daimler has invested around €1.2 billion for the production of the new compact vehicles in Rastatt. 500 new jobs will be created this year, and the factory will employ around 6,600 people by the end of 2012. The B-Class has enjoyed record sales in the first half of 2012, while the first models of the brand new A-Class rolled off the production lines in July 2012. Next year, will see production of a third model - the compact SUV - begin in Rastatt.
During their visit, Michael and Nico entered their names into the 'Golden Book' of Rastatt in the presence of Oberbürgermeister Hans Jürgen Pütsch, then took part in the personalised delivery process at the factory's Customer Centre, handing over the key of two brand new B-Class vehicles to two lucky customers. The opportunity to exchange a few words with their colleagues was a priority for the day - and both drivers entertained their colleagues with an extended Q&A session on an outdoor stage.
Lucky winners were then treated to high-speed rides on the Rastatt test track at the wheel of two Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG super sports cars before the drivers got a look at the state-of-the-art production line for the all-new A-Class.
"You can never fail to be amazed when you get a chance to see behind the scenes of a facility like Rastatt," commented Michael. "The scale of the factory and the high technology here are very different to what we know in Formula One - but it is clear that here, just like in our world, Mercedes-Benz is aiming to set the standard. We had the chance to drive the new A-Class earlier this year and it's a great car - the design promises performance, and the chassis delivers exactly that."
"There are over 6000 people working here in Rastatt," added Nico. "That's probably the same number as all the Formula One teams put together! As a works Silver Arrow driver, it's always a great feeling to visit our colleagues in the rest of the company - it's not only a boost ahead of our home Grand Prix, but also reminds me that we carry their hopes and represent them every time we take to the track. That's a big responsibility - and we want to make sure we do them proud this weekend in Hockenheim."
Formula One stars turn master engine builders at Mercedes-AMG
After seeing the heart of the production facilities for the Mercedes-Benz compact class, the drivers then headed to Mercedes-AMG for a taste of something completely different - the world of refined high performance at the Affalterbach production facilities. The drivers then put their own mechanical skills into practice as they followed the traditional AMG production philosophy of "one man, one engine" with a unique twist - "one team, one engine", assisting with assembly of the new highly efficient M 157 V8 engine.
This unit develops 410 kW (557 PS) and will be used in numerous AMG high-performance vehicles such as the new GL 63 AMG, the ML 63 AMG and the E 63 AMG as well as the all-new Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG Shooting Brake.
The drivers were accompanied by an AMG master engine builder as they installed pistons and assembled the cylinder heads. The completed V8 engine for the CLS 63 AMG Shooting Brake will carry an AMG engine plate signed by Michael, Nico and, as per AMG tradition, the master engine builder. The experts from the AMG Performance Studio then began installing the 5.5 litre twin-turbo unit in the CLS 63 AMG Shooting Brake that will get its world premiere at the "Night of the Stars" in Hockenheim.
"It's fascinating to see behind the scenes of the ultra-modern facilities here at Mercedes-AMG," enthused Nico. "We met a lot of true Formula One fans among the people here. Like us, they work to the highest levels of precision and can really show the art of engineering, as they develop the highest performance Mercedes vehicles. It was an interesting challenge to help assemble the AMG V8 engine - and an interesting comparison to when I did the same with our Formula One engine last year. It gives me even more respect for all the people who work in the AMG engine build facility."
"It's amazing to see how AMG has developed since I last visited in the 1990s, when I made a guest start in the DTM," commented Michael. "The people at AMG are incredibly enthusiastic, and have real spirit for performance and passion for motorsport. I was impressed by the ultra-modern AMG engine assembly facilities, where they produce the most powerful but also most efficient V12 and V8 engines in the world."
"It's fantastic to be able to welcome our MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS drivers Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg as our guests at Mercedes-AMG," commented Mercedes-AMG GmbH Chairman Ola Källenius. "Michael and Nico did a perfect job as build technicians for the AMG M 157 power unit! And I am sure that they got a real insight into what our AMG brand promise 'driving performance' really means. On behalf of Mercedes-AMG GmbH, I would like to thank both drivers for visiting Affalterbach and wish them every success at this weekend's German Grand Prix in Hockenheim!"
An insight into the wide world of Mercedes-Benz
Following their experiences in the engine build workshops of Mercedes-AMG, the drivers will head to the inaugural German FOTA Fan Forum in the Mercedes-Benz Niederlassung Stuttgart, where they will be joined by Formula One colleagues Nico Hülkenberg and Timo Glock for a Q&A session in front of 300 members of the public and Daimler employees. This event, held for the first time in Germany, will round off the drivers' preparations for the German Grand Prix, just a stone's throw from Daimler headquarters in Untertürkheim.
"The German Grand Prix is a highlight for our MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS Silver Arrows works team," commented Norbert Haug, Vice President, Mercedes-Benz Motorsport. "The drivers have been given a real insight into what Mercedes-Benz is all about today - from the exciting new compact class models produced in Rastatt, to the exclusive high-performance world of Mercedes-AMG. It is always a fantastic boost to feel how much support our motorsport programmes enjoy from within the company. That enthusiasm only strengthens our determination to deliver a strong performance this weekend in Hockenheim to reward our fans and colleagues."

1. Kick the cereal habit.
Cereal is delicious, and I for one could live on it exclusively, but it's not really your friend when you're trying to lose weight. Have you ever measured out a serving of cereal? It varies, but it's usually about a cup. A handful. How much cereal do you eat? A bowlful? You mean like, 3 cups? Multiply that by about 130 calories per serving, and you have a 390 calorie breakfast that isn't especially filling. You could have an egg sandwich or an enormous bowl of oatmeal for that.
And don't get me started on granola. Filling, yes. Scrumptious, yes. But whoa – around 500 calories per cup? They fool you because the listed serving size is a quarter-cup, which is about how much you feed a toddler who's not feeling well. Ugh. Here's a hint – when you're dieting, granola isn't good for anything. Not even as a topping for your yogurt. Speaking of yogurt…
2. Enough with the yogurt already!
Real, actual Greek yogurt is very good for you – it's got protein, probiotics, and no added sugar. Great. Use it in place of butter or sour cream if you want, but it's still too high-calorie for a snack. And if you're eating those little plastic cups of flavored yogurt – forget it. Stop right now. They are loaded with sugar, too high-calorie for the volume, and really not a valuable addition to your diet. And Activia is no better – it's got probiotics, but so does real Greek yogurt. If you read the fine print, Activia is only proven to help your bowels if you eat it three times per day. That's about 300 extra calories per day. That's about an hour's walk. Stop it.
3. Don't drink calories!
Your body doesn't register calories from beverages as nourishment, so they won't squash your appetite. Save your precious calories for food, and drink only zero-calorie liquids. Water, tea, coffee – but no cream or sugar! Even diet soda and diet energy drinks are fine in terms of weight loss. Artificial sweeteners have gotten a bad rap, but they're safe if you're not drinking 100 gallons every day.
4. Embrace the artificial.
Do you want to be all-natural, or do you want to be thin? Ideally, we would all eat local, organic food. But when you're dieting, if eating an artificial product means the difference between blowing your diet and sticking to it, go for it. Artificial sweeteners can help wean you away from your sweet tooth, and Walden Farms has a line of CALORIE-FREE salad dressings, chocolate syrup, marshmallow fluff, and even peanut butter. Sure, it's not as good as the real thing and it doesn't teach you better eating habits, but if you absolutely must taste something sweet before you commit homicide, it's better if it doesn't throw your diet off course.
5. Get your caffeine.
This is another one of my unpopular tricks, but I still tell all of my clients to stick with the caffeine if they enjoy it. Nothing (legal and OTC) has ever been proven to help with weight loss better than caffeine. It curbs your appetite, increases your calorie burn, and helps you get your ass off the couch and to the gym. In fact, taking caffeine about 30 minutes before a workout helps you burn more calories during that workout, even working at your usual intensity. Of course, if you're caffeine-sensitive, pregnant, nursing or have any other medical condition that makes your doctors warn you against caffeine, this particular tip is not for you. But if you enjoy caffeine, drink your coffee, grab that sugar-free Rockstar, chug that espresso and soldier on!

Google Paragon and search- Exterior Rear View Mirror Glass. They will date code the mirror for you to install in your own base, or I'm sure you can buy a complete assembly with dated glass already installed.
Yes, rectangular mirrors were still being used in 1977 on a lot of Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick, etc... models.Would it be possible to get a high resolution shot of the date code? I'm STILL working on the mirror report and need a few date examples. My email address is in my profile.ThanksEd
Yes, please. It was around that time frame when Donnelly changed their date code from DMI (Donnelly Mirror Inc) to DCA (Donnelly Corporation of America).Ed

Man finding another Camaro, or sighting of another let alone another 69 in sweden while you guys are rolling yours must be wild sight. If I was visiting Sweden and saw (3) 69 Camaros rolling down the street I think that would have to do a double take, I thought there were just Volvo shows over there??
When are your summer months in Sweden? And is there really a Swedish swimsuit team?
Your bikini team needs more chicks and less dudes What would a 69 camaro cost like yours in Sweden, in dollars.

Beyond his work as a councilman, Rep. Neeley is president of the local Nabet-CWA union and works as a broadcast engineer for WJRT-12 TV. He has also worked with the Civil Service Commission and is director of Flint City Junior Golf, founded by his father Sam Neeley. Rep. Neeley worked for 10 years in Flint Community Schools as a counselor.
As state representative, Rep. Neeley is focused on public safety in communities, public education and building the economy. He will hold bi-monthly tours for groups of youths to develop governmental engagement.
Rep. Neeley currently lives in Flint with his wife of 22 years, Cynthia. He has two daughters, Taylor and Morgan, who are both in college.


text: Home- Faculty Search- Faculty Directory- Jason Meyers Colgate Directory FACULTY DETAIL < BACK TO RESULTS Jason MeyersAssociate Professor of Biology and Neuroscience, Associate Professor of University Studies, Chair of Scientific Perspectives Core Biology , 210 Olin Hall p email@example.com Degree BA, Williams College, 1997; PhD, University of Virginia, 2004 Teaching Experience Lecturer, University of Michigan, 2005 Specialties Developmental biology, neurobiology, cell biology, sensory biology, stem cells Interests Mechanisms that control development and regeneration of sensory systems; the role of stem cells in neural development and regeneration. Teaching interests include neurobiology, developmental biology, cellular biology, molecular biology Other My teaching interests integrate my interests in the processes of cellular differentiation, stem cells, and the functioning of the nervous system. Molecules, Cells, and Genes (Biol 212) is required of all biology, environmental biology, and molecular biology concentrators and provides an in-depth introduction to eukaryotic cell function at the biochemical, macromolecular, and cellular levels. In lecture and lab, students are introduced to and asked to explore such topics as bioenergetics, enzyme kinetics, genes and regulation of gene expression, the cell cycle and the cytoskeleton, intracellular signaling and transport, and organelle structure and function. This class requires students to integrate their understanding of these seemingly diverse topics in order to explore basic cell function and to understand how different cells carry out different activities. Biology of Stem Cells (Biol 327) is a seminar course, in which we tackle the ever changing field of stem cell biology. We examine the historical background of stem cell research (stretching back to the mid 1700s!) and the chain of events that brought us to the ethically fascinating and contentious position we are at today. Along the way, we explore what we actually know about adult stem cells and embryonic stem cells, their features, their promise, and their problems. In lab, we explore both stem cells that are involved in regeneration, such that a planarian can be cut in half and a week later you have two fully functional planaria with normal anatomy, and stem cells in culture as we try to hold them undifferentiated and then bias their differentiation. Molecular Neurobiology (Biol 389 and Neur 389) is an elective focused on understanding the molecular underpinnings of how the nervous system functions. We begin by looking at the nature of the channels that allow particular ions to move and allow the generation of electrical currents in the cells. The class then explores how neurons communicate with each other, looking at the synthesis, release, and reactions of neurotransmitters. We then examine sensory systems as particular examples where molecular receptors have evolved to detect and process information from the physical world around us into the electrochemical code of the brain. At the end of the class, we turn to neural development, looking at the molecules that define, connect, and maintain neurons, and tease out how neural activity leads to changes in neural structure. I also regularly teach in our Developmental Biology (Biol 324) course. I offer a research tutorial which allows students to get hands-on experience designing independent research projects in developmental neurobiology. Throughout my teaching, I focus on conceptual learning, bringing recently published papers from the primary literature so that we can focus on how science is done and where science is going. The biology faculty at Colgate have also made a strong emphasis on writing, working to give students the skills they need to effectively communicate the biology of today and tomorrow. I hope to provide my students the skills to interpret, critically analyze, and then explore the open questions provided by the rapidly evolving biological research fields.

The Department of Dance is thrilled that senior dance major Alexis DeVance's duet, Salt. Rose. Witness.from her Senior Project was selected for the American College Dance Festival's National Festival at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC. The piece was performed at the ACDFA's East-Central Regional Dance Festival in March 2014, where it was one of eleven dances chosen for the regional gala. Only three dances from the regional gala were selected for national recognition at the Kennedy Center. A total of 31 schools are represented at the National Festival.
This stunning piece, performed by Claire Jones and Heinz Adjakwah, will appear in "Program B" at 2:00 pm and at 7:30pm on Friday, June 6th in the Terrace Theatre. For tickets, go here.
