Top 10 Dangers of Artificial Sweeteners – Updated Article With Extra Information on Harmful Sweeteners
It is difficult but extremely important to curb your sugar cravings for improving your health. There is a huge misconception about artificial sweeteners. A lot of people think that by using these sweeteners they can not only satisfy their sweet tooth but also minimize the hazards of high intake of sugar. Unfortunately they are not aware of the dangers that they can suffer from the use of these harmful artificial sweeteners. The top ten dangers of these life threatening artificial sweeteners are given below:
According to the research, regular use of these artificial sweeteners can result in blood or brain cancer. This is considered one of the biggest risks of these sweeteners, so their consumption should be as limited as possible.
Depression, bipolar disorder and panic attacks:
The use of artificial sweeteners can create severe conditions of depression and panic attacks. Furthermore, it can also trigger bipolar disease. A person suffering from bipolar disease goes through extreme mood swings. Their immense levels of depression and elevation can only be controlled through medicine. Thus, to avoid such extreme discomfort, you should completely stop taking these artificial sweeteners or at least decrease their intake.
Persistent Headaches:
The consumption of fake sugar in foods and drinks can also lead to persistent headaches, which in some serious conditions can get worse and turn into migraines.
Weight Gain:
Many people think that artificial sweeteners make them lose weight. In fact, they are hugely mistaken, because these sweeteners not only don't help them to lose weight but instead are actually one of the leading causes of obesity! It has been observed that people who use these sweeteners gain weight very rapidly. So, if you're weight conscious, stay miles away from these sweeteners!
Allergic Reactions:
Artificial sweeteners can trigger allergic reactions too. These may include itchy or watery eyes, redness or swelling of the skin, rashes, sneezing, and stuffy or runny nose.
Birth Defects Or Infertility:
Studies show that the use of these harmful sweeteners has also led to infertility or birth defects in men. They contain such ingredients which slow down the male reproductive system.
Blurred Vision And Hearing Loss:
Most of these artificial sweeteners are very misleading. They tend to portray that there are no side effects of using them. However, they may also lead to blurred vision and hearing loss as they increase your blood sugar levels.
Alzheimer's Disease:
Experts have proven that excessive use of artificial sweeteners can also result in Alzheimer's disease. In other words, people who use ample amounts of artificial sweeteners can suffer from memory loss.
Cell Damage:
Along with many other dangers, artificial sweeteners are greatly damaging for cells as well. Therefore, their consumption should be very restricted.
Nervous System:
These are very damaging for the nervous system as well. Regular use can lead to nervous breakdowns, which can be fatal.

Should Splenda really be included in this list? It's supposedly made with real sugar make it less artificial than the others.
this is very concerning. i didn't realize that artificial sweetners could lead to so many problems.but it's sort of hard toget away from them. mainly because they are in just about every we eat.
Splenda is not natural..it is altered on an atomic level..it's synthetic.
Aspertame is one of the most poisonous substances in our food supply (out of many)…it is an excitotoxin..it over-stimulates brain and nerve cells to death, kind of explodes them. it passes through the blood-brain barrier…basically it goes into your brain and kills part of it. and it's kind of addictive too, because that "over-stimulation" is kind of a buzz…you know, like doing speed or other stimulants, but i don't think even cocaine or meth kills your brain cells like Aspartame does…
in addition, Aspartame causes a huge laundry list of health problems. also, when it is heated above about 85F, like if you cook with it, or just leave your Diet Coke in the sun, it turns to formaldahyde, which is also poisonous. they say the troops in Iraq routinely drink Diet Coke that's been over heated like that in the Iraq sun…
the FDA is a criminal organization for allowing this…and they didn't at first..for many years they didn't allow Aspartame….i recommend reading the history of the approval process..you will see some familiar names from the Bush administration in there, and some familiar heavy handed politics.
kinda sad that millions of people are being brain damaged into premature senility for the profit of a ffew companies. it is implicated in Alzheimer's Disease…basically all those kind of things are just brain damage, probably from foods and other ingested toxins that surround us these days.
most "modern illnesses" can be traced back to modern chemicals and pollution that are in the food and environment now.
This really comes as no surprise. White refined sugar is already bad as it is. I would recommend using muscovado sugar or coco palm sugar as substitute if sweetening is really necessary. Our tongues have just been accustomed to having sugar but in truth we can live almost without it. Please teach your children at an early age to develop an aversion to sweets.
This is all on pretty shaky ground, most 'conclusions' of the 'dangers' that are presented as facts, are based on inconclusive evidence and conflicting research.
Mentioning cancer as a possible side effect is way over the top and could scare people back to the use sugar, who else would benefit substantially from the use of artificial sweeteners.
These 10 'dangers' have not been proven and there's nothing scientific about what's being presented in this article!
This was interesting?
Splenda is not a natural product and was accidentally discovered while making pesticides.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The economy and a candidate's ability to defeat President Barack Obama were the most important factors guiding decisions of voters in Ohio's Republican primary, according to early results from an exit poll Tuesday. The survey also found nearly two-thirds of voters said they're committed to backing the eventual Republican nominee, no matter who wins the primary.
About four in ten called a candidate's ability to defeat Obama the most important quality guiding their decisions. Almost all voters expressed dissatisfaction with the government, including more than one in three voters saying they were angry about the way the federal government is working,
The economy was on the minds of many, with nearly three of four voters saying they were worried about the direction of the country's economy over the next few years. More than eight of ten voters identified either the economy or the federal deficit as the issues that mattered the most in how they voted Tuesday.
Many voters said they were undecided on a candidate until recently, with more than half saying they didn't decide on a candidate until the last few days or weeks.
Just about three in 10 voters said this year's campaign was more negative than previous presidential contests. Most said it was about the same and one in seven called it more positive.
Preliminary results from the Ohio exit poll conducted for The Associated Press and the television networks by Edison Research are based on interviews with 1,848 voters, including 410 absentee or early voters who were interviewed by phone before the primary. Election-day voters come from a random sample of 40 precincts. The survey's margin of sampling error is plus or minus 4 percentage points.

Planning Phase (Completed September 2010)
During the planning phase, several improvement alternatives were developed and evaluated to determine the best solution. A recommended alternative was selected and used as a guide for the design. During this phase, it was discovered that the dam was showing signs of failure with water seeps and rusted-out outlet pipes, requiring the City to perform a temporary repair in July 2010. This repair replaced the outlet pipes in the same location and moved the outfall channel away from the toe of the dam slope. The goal was to reduce the risk of a dam breach occurring prior to the work beginning on the full pond rehabilitation work, and to allow the current water quality benefits of the pond to be maintained.
Design Phase (Completed July 2011)
The engineering consultant worked closely with Storm Water Services to develop and finalize the design. Personnel from City of Charlotte, the engineering consultant, land surveyors, wetland specialists, and geotechnical engineers worked in the area collecting information necessary to complete the design.
Permitting Phase (Completed July 2011)
During the permitting phase, the required water quality permits are obtained from Federal and State governments. Other permits such as permission to work within CMU rights-of-way will be obtained during this phase. The permitting phase of a project may overlap other phases.
Property Easement/Acquisition (Completed March 2010)
The City works with citizens and businesses to acquire Storm Drainage Easements (SDEs) and Temporary Construction Easements (TCEs). The City requests that SDEs and TCEs be donated to provide access to the affected properties to make the recommended improvements and provide future maintenance. The McDonalds provided the essential easements during 2010.
Bid Phase (Completed November 2011)
During the bid phase, the final plans are circulated to qualified contractors for a competitive bidding process. By state law, the lowest responsible bidder is awarded the construction contract.
Construction Phase (Completed June 2012)
The construction of the pond's water quality enhancements has been successfully completed on time and under budget. A final walk through of the project took place on June 29. Some highlights of the construction included:
• Installation of 2 water quality control risers with intake and outflow pipes to control the release of water during typical rainfall events;
• Construction of a concrete emergency spillway to control the release of water during larger rainfall events;
• Removal, replacement, and re-grading of the dam embankment;
• Application of a decorative stone finish on the new 48" headwall;
• Replacement of the 72" headwall at Lake Drive; and
• Addition of Grass Carp to assist in controlling the aquatic vegetation around the pond's perimeter.
Revegetation of the embankment and the disturbed areas within the project limits has also been completed. The establishment of vegetation is susceptible to local weather patterns such as drought, and as such, may take a few growing seasons to fully establish. CMSWS will be monitoring the progress.

Infertility Tests Every Aspect of a Couple's Life
Infertility Tests for Every Aspect of a Couple's Life
WebMD Feature
Patti Gellman rode a physical and emotional roller coaster for two years trying to get pregnant for the first time. What she and her husband, Alex, thought would be a simple act of love to produce a child turned into a highly medicalized journey of poking, prodding, discomfort and -- perhaps the hardest part -- month after month of heartache when nothing seemed to work. Their turmoil finally paid off in 1993, however, when Gellman delivered healthy twin boys.
"I didn't think anyone would be able to talk me into going through that again, especially since I had two wonderful, healthy sons," says Gellman, who lives in Ambler, Pa. But she had a change of heart last winter and, after going through another couple of rounds of in vitro fertilization, delivered another baby boy five months ago.
As Gellman can attest, the desire to have children can be so strong that infertile couples often will go to great physical, emotional and financial lengths to get pregnant. The good news is that about 80% of these couples will eventually succeed, typically with the help of a reproductive endocrinologist, and the vast majority won't need to undergo the more advanced and costly technologies, like in vitro fertilization. In addition, improvements in lab practices have increased the odds that these more sophisticated methods will work, while at the same time reducing the risk of multiple births.
"The problem is that infertility affects every aspect of a woman's life," says Alice Domar, a health psychologist and director of the Mind/Body Program for Infertility at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School. "It affects their relationship with their husbands because men and women don't respond to infertility in the same way. It affects their sex life because they're told when they can and can't have intercourse. It affects relationships with friends and family because everyone else seems to be getting pregnant effortlessly. It affects jobs because they have to miss tons of time for doctor's appointments and procedures. It can send them into a spiritual crisis. They feel cruddy because they're going through all these invasive tests and procedures which hurt. And it costs a ton of money."
If you're among the estimated 10% of reproductive-age couples who are infertile -- defined as being unable to conceive a child for at least a year without medical assistance -- count your blessings for these advancements in science. But also be prepared to enter a maze filled with uncertainty, disappointment and anxiety. Fortunately, arming yourself with as much information about infertility as you can from the start, forging a support network of women who've been there, and developing a realistic outlook can help, experts say. Here are some thoughts from the trenches -- from veterans and fertility specialists alike -- that might make that journey easier.
Beyond the Cookie Cutter
When Annette Wax of Wheeling, Ill., had trouble conceiving her second baby at 29 and experienced side effects from the first fertility drug she tried, her OB-Gyn sent her to a well-known fertility specialist who also was covered by her health insurance. Yet from the first visit with the doctor, who outlined a regimented course of treatment, she felt like she had been propelled into a cookie-cutter protocol in which her own needs and desires were ignored.
"It was like a factory -- I felt like a nobody among 30 people in the waiting room," recalls Wax. "They told me that if one thing didn't work, they'd try the next and the next. ... I felt like a guinea pig."
Doctors say that feeling comfortable with a program is just as important as its statistics and success rates. "A fertility program needs to give personal attention -- otherwise it'll wreak havoc with you emotionally," cautions Dr. Sherman Silber, medical director of the Fertility Center of St. Louis and author of "How to Get Pregnant With the New Technology." "The doctor probably won't have all that time to provide, but there should be counseling personnel to hold your hand every day."
That's why word of mouth is among the best ways to find a program you'll be comfortable with, advises Dr. Richard Rawlins, director of the IVF/ART Laboratories at Rush Medical Center in Chicago. "Find a support group for infertile couples, like RESOLVE, and talk to those women because they've been through it. Ask them where they were well taken care of and where they had a good doctor-patient interaction." RESOLVE is an infertility support, education and advocacy organization based in Somerville, Mass., with chapters nationwide.

The Flames have their new import Martin Opatovsky making his debut tonight. So Milos Melicherik is rested and top Brit Tom Duggan is missing due to injury.
The Bison have Matt Selby making his return to the Herd having signed on a two-way deal from the Coventry Blaze. The team look good in their cup shirts they are the same design as the jerseys of the first season so brings back plenty of memories of 25 years ago.
Good evening and welcome to tonight's EPL Cup semi-final first leg between the Basingstoke Bison and Guildford Flames.

Dinner-for-Two Recipe: Sage-Brined Pork Chops with Brown Sugar Glaze
Recipes from The Kitchn
Whether you're planning a low-key holiday meal or sneaking in a midweek dinner date amid other holiday plans, put these tender pork chops glazed with brown sugar on your list. It's one of those dishes that is so easy and so simple, and yet feels like a special feast all its own.
A quick brine is one of my favorite ways to add flavor to thin cuts of meat like pork chops and also ensure that they stay juicy and tender during cooking. Infusing the brine with chopped sage gives the pork just a breath of piney, woodsy flavor — which hits just the right note with the sweet brown sugar glaze.
It wasn't until I was writing up this recipe that I realized it's not only a meal for two people, all the ingredients come in "two's" as well! This also makes it easy to double or even triple the recipe if you have more guests. If your skillet isn't big enough to sear and bake all the pork chops at once, you can heat a baking sheet in the oven, then sear the chops in batches and transfer them to the baking sheet to finish cooking.
Sage-Brined Pork Chops with Brown Sugar Glaze
2 cups water
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons minced fresh sage
2 1-inch thick, center-cut, boneless pork chops (about 1 pound)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Vegetable oil
Heat one cup of the water to a simmer either on the stovetop or in the microwave. Add the salt and sage, and stir until the salt has dissolved. Mix in a second cup of cold water to cool the brine down and let stand until the mixture is lukewarm.
Place the pork loins in a shallow dish and pour the brine solution over top. The brine should completely cover the pork. If not, either transfer the pork to a smaller container or flip the pork halfway through brining. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 3 hours.
When ready to cook, place a cast-iron, stainless steel, or other oven-safe skillet in the oven on a center rack. Heat the oven to 400°F. Remove the pork loins from the brine solution, pat dry, and let them warm on the counter while the oven is heating. Discard the brine.
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and place it over medium-high heat on the stovetop. Rub the pork loins with vegetable oil and lay them in the center of the pan about an inch apart. Sear for about 3 minutes or until the underside of the pork chop is golden.
Flip the pork chops and spread a tablespoon of brown sugar over the surface of each chop. Immediately place the pan in the oven. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, until the center of the chops are just barely pink and register 140°F to 145°F on an instant-read thermometer. If the brown sugar hasn't quite completely melted, run the pan under the broiler for a few seconds.
Remove the pork chops from the pan and cover with aluminum foil while you plate the rest of your meal. (Do not leave them sitting in the pan or they will over-cook and become tough.) Spoon some of the pan juices over the pork chops just before serving.

Was just planning tomorrow night's dinner and realized there are some pork chops in the freezer...that brown sugar glaze sounds divine! I might have to try it!
You can also use jam (like apricot) over the meat as it rests- gives the same glaze but the fruit makes it a little better. Just spoon out a bit and spread it over the meat right as you would the sugar. The heat will melt it.

2009 Chevrolet Traverse Review
This 2009 review is representative of model years 2009 to 2015.
By Larry E. Hall of MSN Autos
Bottom Line:
The Chevrolet Traverse offers good value for those who truly need to haul around a lot of people and things, and enjoy activities that require towing a semi-hefty trailer.
With today's gasoline prices, what choices does a family have if they want to take weekend jaunts with the kids and a couple of their friends without going broke filling up the tank? Enter Chevy's new SUV, the 2009 Traverse. It is three inches longer than the truck-based Tahoe, can seat up to eight and has more interior room. Oh, and it gets three more miles per gallon in town, five more on the highway.
Model Lineup
To distinguish the Traverse from its corporate cousins, the front end reflects the look of the 2008 Malibu sedan's twin port grille, while the rear features unique high-mounted taillights and a subtle boattail hatch. In between, the body is taut with crisp character lines and presents little adornment, save for chrome door handles and a chrome lower rub strip.
The Traverse follows the traditional Chevy model offerings with LS, LT and LTZ trim levels. All three trims can be equipped with either front- or all-wheel drive (AWD) and buyers have a choice of 17-, 18- or 20-inch alloy wheels.
Under the Hood
The V6 is rated at 288 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque in dual-exhaust LTZ trim, and 281 hp and 270 lb-ft in single-exhaust LS and LT trim. Ninety percent of peak torque is available from 2500 rpm to 6000 rpm. A 6-speed automatic transmission is standard. Using regular unleaded gasoline, the front-drive Traverse earns an EPA rating of 17/24 mpg (city/hwy); AWD versions net a 16/23 mpg rating.
Inner Space
Driver and front passenger seats are very supportive and comfortable, and third-row seats offer surprisingly ample head, leg and knee room. The third row isn't just relegated for the most unruly kids.
Second-row seats offer even more room. And to get from the second to third row, just flip a lever alongside the second-row seats and the cushion flips up while the seatback slides forward. The second-row seats slide forward or backward, providing more leg and knee room for either the second or third row.
Each trim level is well turned out, with a complement of standard equipment including Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity, OnStar with turn-by-turn navigation and XM Satellite Radio. Among the options are a power liftgate, a rearview camera, a DVD entertainment system, a GPS-based navigation system, a dual-pane sunroof and a towing package.
All the safety goodies are present and accounted for — a full complement of airbags, including curtain-style bags for all three rows. The anti-lock brakes are discs at all the corners and include electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist. Stability control, with traction control and roll-over mitigation, and a tire-pressure monitoring system are standard.
On the Road
What's most unexpected about the overall size of the Traverse has nothing to do with the interior, but rather how it performs on the road. The four-wheel independent suspension offers a car-like ride that isn't upset by irregular road surfaces. The linked H-arm rear suspension design keeps the rear end firmly planted in fast corners and during abrupt lane changes. Steering precision and braking performance were equally impressive.
Engine power progresses smoothly in a linear manner. While it won't be mistaken for a V8, the direct-injected V6 felt brisk during our controlled driving conditions and towed a 4,200-pound boat and trailer without gasping for breath.
Right for You?
There is a plethora of crossover SUVs to choose from today and they come in all sizes. If you regularly tote around six or seven passengers, occasionally load plywood sheets or tow up to 5,200 pounds, the Traverse should be added to your shopping list.

16th Annual Creating Change Conference Kicks Off in Miami
National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Conference is Largest Annual Gathering of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Activists and Allies in the World
November 7, 2003 - Miami, FL - The nation's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) activist and allies conference opened its doors in Miami on Wednesday, November 5, 2003 for two days of pre-conference intensive day long-trainings. Creating Change continues on Friday, November 7 with the continuation of last year's conference theme, 'Building an Anti-Racist Movement for Social and Economic Justice' with 15 separate day-long sessions of the "Skills Academy For Leadership and Action." Saturday and Sunday will feature nearly one hundred workshop sessions on a variety of topics including: Aging; Anti-Violence; Bisexuality; Campus Issues; Elections and Campaigns; Gender Identity; Health; Legal; Military; Media; People of Color, Transgender and Youth Issues; and, Spirituality and Faith. The 16th annual Creating Change conference attracts more than 2,000 attendees from across the country.
"I hope as a city we influence the politics on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues to a higher level...including influencing the politics of the county and state," Miami Beach Mayor David Dermer said in welcoming the conference to Miami during Thursday evening's opening reception. "One day there will be no issues of discrimination in any city."
"We have to remain vigilant," said Dade County Commissioner Jimmy Morales later in the plenary. "With you guys (the Task Force) down here in Miami, we can continue to build our momentum and bring the rest of the state with us into the 21st century."
Task Force Executive Director Matt Foreman then announced the winners of the $10,000 Anderson Prize Foundation Creating Change Awards, which this year went to Newark, NJ activist LaQuetta Nelson of the Newark Pride Alliance and San Francisco activist Shannon Minter of the National Center for Lesbian Rights.
"My heart is saddened because of how I got here," Nelson said. "I am here because a young 15-year old lesbian had the courage to do something I didn't have the courage to do as a child. Look what price Sakia Gunn paid for me to be here today... no child should have to fear losing their life walking down the street. No child and for African-American LGBT people, it is hard. I challenge every one of you who are in the white LGBT community, I challenge you to challenge yourselves to do better in the area of race relations."
"I am incredibly grateful to the Task Force and to the Anderson family for this honor," Minter said. "As a transgender man working for a lesbian organization, I am proud to accept this award as a testament to the many other transgender activists and allies who have labored for years to build bridges between the gay and transgender communities. I am especially honored to be selected by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, which has long stood as a beacon of uncompromising support and acceptance for transgender people."
Democratic Senator Jarrett Barrios of Massachusetts set the stage for the day-long Skills Academy for Leadership and Action during this morning's opening plenary session, saying, "Why is it important that it not just be about LGBT issues? We in this room understand in our bones it isn't just about our equality. It's not just us too, but you too when we talk about whatever issues affect us. The challenge will always be, must be, you too. Not just LGBT folks, but all of us."
National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Executive Director Matt Foreman spoke of the forces of the religious and political Right mobilizing an anti-LGBT backlash the likes of which we've never seen. "Using the threat of 'gay marriage' they are raising millions of dollars and launching an unprecedented, coordinated campaign to dehumanize, demonize and defame us," Foreman said. "This is about much more than denying equal rights for LGBT people. Just as they have exploited choice, race, immigrants and poor women (to name only a few) in the past, they will use LGBT people as a wedge issue in the 2004 elections to divide America and insure that they - a distinct minority - stay in power."
Creating Change attendees will participate in an intensive and all-new training and skills-building component at Creating Change this year. "The Creating Change Skills Academy for Leadership and Action" Friday curriculum was designed to meet the needs of activists and organizers working at the local and state level build a stronger and more powerful political force for social and economic justice. Experts and leaders from the LGBT movement and from allied movements for social change will teach the Skills Academy sessions.
Upcoming Creating Change events:
Saturday, November 8:
- Nearly one hundred workshop sessions on a variety of topics.
- Plenary session: "Relationship and Family Recognition; Why We Need It and How We're Going to Get It" featuring: Democratic Representative Evelyn Mantilla from Connecticut, Juan Battle; Joyce Pierson and Evan Wolfson.
- LGBT Film Series
Sunday, November 9:
- Workshops continue
- Closing Plenary session: "2004 Presidential Election: Working With Allies to Win" featuring Nadine Smith, Executive Director of Equality Florida; Barry W. Lynn, Executive Director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State; and, Connie Watts, Director of Field Operations for Planned Parenthood Federation of America
The mission of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is to build the political power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community from the ground up. We do this by training activists, organizing broad-based campaigns to defeat anti-LGBT referenda and advance pro-LGBT legislation, and by building the organizational capacity of our movement. Our Policy Institute, the movement's premier think tank, provides research and policy analysis to support the struggle for complete equality and to counter right-wing lies. As part of a broader social justice movement, we work to create a nation that respects the diversity of human expression and identity and creates opportunity for all. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., we also have offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis and Cambridge.

ACI Asia-Pacific is pleased to announce that Indira Gandhi International Airport has been accredited under the Airport Carbon Accreditation Programme on 4 July 2012.
Indira Gandhi International Airport, operated by Delhi International Airport (P) Ltd, is now accredited at Level 2 – 'Reduction' and is the 2nd Indian airport to be accredited at this level.
Mr. I. Prabhakara Rao, CEO of Delhi International Airport (P) Ltd said "DIAL is proud to achieve this coveted recognition. Having successfully accredited for 'Mapping' and 'Reduction' under Airport Carbon Accreditation, DIAL is now aiming for the third level of 'Optimisation' with the support of all concerned stakeholders. This signifies our airport-wide effort to tackle the global challenge of climate change and our commitment to the reduction of CO2 emissions."
Mrs. Patti Chau, Regional Director of ACI Asia-Pacific said, "I wish to congratulate Indira Gandhi International Airport on having its CO2 reduction achievement recognized by Airport Carbon Accreditation. It has once again shown that airports in our region are not only committed to but have already taken action to reduce their environmental impact."
Mrs. Chau is also pleased to see the great response from airports in the region. She said "It is very encouraging indeed that in only 7 months since Airport Carbon Accreditation was extended from Europe to Asia-Pacific, 5 airports in the region have already been accredited. This is solid proof that airports generally recognise the programme to be an effective tool to manage and reduce carbon emissions. I strongly encourage more members to act now and become accredited."
Airport Carbon Accreditation is the institutionally endorsed program that independently assesses and recognises airports' efforts to manage and reduce their CO2 emissions. Participating airports can be certified at 4 progressive levels of accreditation as follows: 'Mapping', 'Reduction', 'Optimisation', and 'Neutrality'.
Other accredited Asia-Pacific airports include:
Airport Carbon Accreditation was first launched by ACI Europe in 2009. In November 2011, the programme received support from ICAO and was extended to the Asia-Pacific region. Airport Carbon Accreditation is an independent programme administered by WSP Environment & Energy, an international consultancy appointed to enforce the accreditation criteria for airports. The administration of the programme is overseen by an independent Advisory Board. Airports must have carbon footprints independently verified in accordance with ISO14064 (Greenhouse Gas Accounting). Evidence of this must be provided to the administrator together with all claims regarding carbon management processes which must also be independently verified.
Delhi Airport became the 5th Asia-Pacific airport to be Airport Carbon Accredited

Rangers head coach John Tortorella, seeking to restore an edge to his team's play, put the players through an intense, hard-nosed practice Wednesday afternoon. However, one player was missing from the practice.
Brandon Dubinsky, who was injured while fighting New Jersey's Ryan Carter Tuesday night, did not take part in practice. Tortorella explained that Dubinsky, who did not return to Tuesday night's game after his fight just 3:03 into the contest, was "hit pretty hard in the nose" and was having some issues on Wednesday. The coach did report, though, that Dubinsky would travel with the team on its current two-game road swing to Ottawa and Chicago.
"He's having some problems with his sinuses and just isn't on top of it, so he took today off," explained Tortorella.
As for his team's recent play---which included a 4-1 loss to the Devils Tuesday---Tortorella is concerned that the players have strayed from important details in their collective game, and that the club ha snot played with the requisite edge of late, even despite earning points and winning games.
And the players were in complete agreement with their coach.
"It wasn't even just last night, it's been the last couple of weeks even though we've been winning," said Brandon Prust. "We've relied on (Henrik Lundqvist) a lot, and we have found ways to win which is a good sign, but we definitely have not been as good as we need to be. We have what it takes in here, but we definitely have to bring it up a notch."
Brad Richards added, "Our team play has been sporadic recently, and that covers lots of things. But it's important to remember that it's completely in our control. So now we have to do something about it."
The Rangers will skate against the Ottawa Senators Thursday night and the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday before returning home to host the Islanders Sunday at The Garden.
Share your thoughts below on Dubinsky's injury and the team's play of late.

A four-hour long stand-off in Clayton County ended peacefully with no injuries Thursday morning.
"I saw a whole lot of cop cars," described Bill Graham, a neighbor.
Clayton County police said Ade Jarod Ison, 30, of Hampton, believed to be armed, refused to come out of a home on Ray Street. A woman and a little girl, estimated to be around five years old, were also inside the home, but police did not know if they were hostages or stayed willingly.
"It appeared he lived at that location…we don't know the relationship of the people on the inside," said Charlene Watson-Frasier, an officer with the Clayton County Police Department.
Watson said the ordeal started Wednesday night when officers arrived at a different, undisclosed, location to investigate Ison on several charges. They included aggravated assault, cruelty to children, and making terroristic threats.
Police said that investigation then took them to the home on Ray Street where Ison refused to come out.
Police believed he was armed, but did not say if weapons were ever found.
The SWAT team arrived, and after four hours, Ison surrendered.
He was booked into the Clayton County Jail.

Olympian Oscar Pistorius is accused of premeditated murder after the death of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, on Valentine's Day.
PRETORIA, South Africa — The substance found in Oscar Pistorius' bedroom is not confirmed as testosterone, said a state prosecutor spokesman who claimed there was an error in a detective's testimony during the star athlete's bail hearing Wednesday on murder charges in the shooting death of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.
Medupe Simasiku, a spokesman for South Africa's National Prosecution Agency, said it is too early to identify the substance as it is still undergoing laboratory tests.
Detective Warrant Officer Hilton Botha, the investigating officer, said earlier Wednesday in court that police found two boxes of testosterone and needles in the bedroom of the Olympic athlete.
Simasiku said it is "not certain" what the substance is.
Pistorius' defense lawyer, Barry Roux, said the substance found was not a steroid or a banned substance but an herbal remedy.
If it is confirmed as testosterone, the discovery raises the possibility that the double-amputee Olympian and Paralympian might have been using performance-enhancing substances.
Prosecutor Gerrie Nel said police are not saying that Pistorius used the substance, simply that it was found in his bedroom.
Pistorius became the first Paralympian runner to compete at the Olympic Games in London last year.
Pistorius, 26, has insisted he shot the 29-year-old Steenkamp by mistake, fearing there was an intruder in his gated and guarded luxury complex in the capital, Pretoria.
Botha told Wednesday's hearing that Pistorius illegally possessed .38-caliber ammunition in a safe in his bedroom. The policeman testified that Pistorius did not have a license for a .38-caliber weapon and consequently possession of that ammunition was illegal.
The detective said that all Pistorius would say after the shooting was "he thought it was a burglar."
Pistorius said in an affidavit read by his senior defense lawyer Tuesday that the Valentine's Day killing of Steenkamp was accidental and that he shot her by mistake in fear of an intruder in his house. He said he kept a 9mm pistol under his bed and was worried about violent home robberies and had also received death threats. South Africa's society is distressed by high levels of violent crime.
Prosecutor Gerrie Nel told the court on the first day of the hearing that he would elaborate on the state's version that the 29-year-old Steenkamp and the world's most famous Paralympic athlete had a fight the night of her death and that she fled to the toilet before Pistorius shot four times into the locked door of the toilet enclosed in his bathroom, hitting her three times and killing her.
Since Pistorius has been charged with premeditated murder, the magistrate said his defense must offer "exceptional" reasons for him to be freed on bail.
Pistorius again arrived before 7 a.m. local time Wednesday, via a different entrance to the courthouse than was used before his first appearance at his bail hearing. Television cameras huddled to get a shot of the Olympic runner in the back seat of the white-and-blue police car.
Reporters lined up hours before the hearing to get seats in the courtroom, and police planned to shut down some roads around the busy court building.
People walking by carried newspapers with bold headlines about Pistorius' court affidavit, which was the first time he had publicly explained his version of the events that unfolded in the early hours of last Thursday morning at his villa in a gated community.
Steenkamp's shooting death and Pistorius' arrest and murder charge stunned South Africa, where he is a national hero. It also sent shock waves across the world, which knows Pistorius as a disabled sports icon known as the Blade Runner and an inspiring story of someone who overcame adversity and the amputation of his lower legs as a baby to become an Olympic athlete.
In the 11-page court affidavit, the Paralympic champion said he did not have his prosthetic legs on and felt "extremely vulnerable" in the predawn hours of Feb. 14 when he thought that Steenkamp was an intruder in a toilet cubicle inside his bathroom. He said he was on his stumps when he fired into the door and then realized his tragic error when he backed away to his "pitch dark" bedroom and realized the model and law graduate, whom he had been dating for a few months, was not in bed.
The state alleges the shooting was premeditated and that Pistorius took time to put on his prosthetic legs and walk seven meters to the toilet before opening fire.
Forensic reports may be able to establish the truth by studying the angle and height of the bullet holes in the toilet door.

Minotaur Books
In the South, family is the one thing worth dying—or killing—for. . . .
Things are heating up between young widow Bay Tanner, sometime private investigator, and Red, local sheriff's sergeant and her late husband's brother. But a new case that strikes too close to home endangers more than just her love life.
An unexpected call from her housekeeper's son hints that a recent hit-and-run may have been more than an accident. Roberto fears the victim, a local crusader for the rights of illegal immigrants, may have been silenced. But almost immediately it becomes clear that the dead girl was not the intended victim, and before Bay has a chance to launch an investigation, Roberto himself disappears.
Meanwhile, Red and the rest of the sheriff's deputies are working overtime to solve a string of holdups terrorizing local businesses and banks. When Lavinia Smalls, longtime companion to Bay's crippled father, is caught up in one of these robberies, Bay finds herself enmeshed in yet another mystery. What does Lavinia know about this gang of thieves, and why is she so reluctant to share her secret? What clues does her friend, the ancient black man with the intricately carved walking stick, carry in his muddled memory?
Then the strange phone calls begin, and Bay realizes someone desperately wants her off the case—but which one? Determined to protect those she regards as family, Bay struggles against the fear that she may be endangering the very people she's come to love in order to bring a killer to justice. Almost too late, she discovers that tempers run hot and prejudices deep when it comes to the growing immigrant population of the sultry South Carolina Lowcountry.
In Kathryn Wall's eighth captivating Southern mystery, Bay Tanner will pay a terrible price to uncover the secrets of the Mercy Oak.
"The South Carolina resort of Hilton Head, for all of its tourist attractions and glitz of Southern wealth, takes on a more down-to-earth feel in Wall's capable hands. Series PI Bay Tanner (Bishop's Reach) must tackle two cases that hit close to home. Her housekeeper's son disappears after the suspicious hit-and-run death of a young Hispanic woman who had been advocating for the rights of illegal immigrants. Then, during a bank robbery, Lavinia, the woman who raised Bay and still lives with her father, tries to help an old man who has recognized one of the robbers. At the risk of her own life, Bay is desperate to keep those she cares about safe. Sue Grafton, Sara Paretsky, and Marcia Muller come to mind as the quintessential writers of the modern female private eye novel. Wall, in a quiet and unassuming way, has produced a body of work of equal quality as she tackles complex modern issues that trouble her very human characters. Highly recommended."
—Library Journal
"In her eighth adventure, Hilton Head, South Carolina, private investigator Bay Tanner receives a cryptic call from teenager Bobby, her housekeeper Dolores' son. A friend of Bobby's was killed in a hit-and-run accident, but he believes it was murder. Bobby disappears soon after this phone call, and when Dolores disappears, too, Bay begins to investigate, convinced that both mother and son are in danger. Meanwhile, Bay's personal life has its own turbulence, as her developing relationship with former brother-in-law and local policeman Red forces her to come to terms with the murder of her husband. Determined to find Dolores and keep her and Bobby safe, Bay receives threats on her own life, angering Red. A deep sense of South Carolina's Low Country adds to the story, which combines a nicely textured portrayal of personal relationships, including Bay's close friendship with Delores, with a fast-paced mystery."

After spiriting away the fourteen NHL teams that were not strong enough to make beyond the regular season, hockey's Grim Reaper had a few days off to enjoy the opening games of the playoffs. But yesterday he had to gather up his hockey stick scythe, tear himself away from the Afterlife Bar & Café and make his way the windy city.
There the Chicago Blackhawks awaited his arrival, down three games to none in their matchup with the Vancouver Canucks
However, the Hawks were determined to not go quietly into the night and spanked the Presidents' Trophy winners 7-2 to avoid being given the broom treatment.
David Bolland notched one goal and assisted on three others in the win while Patrick Sharp converted on a pair of power play goals in the third period to send the Reaper away empty handed on this night. Goalie Corey Crawford turned aside 21 of 23 Canuck shot for the win…and even helped out the offense by earning a secondary assist on Brian Campbell's goal that broke a 1-1 tie in
Continue reading NHL playoff round one update: Blackhawks don't fear The Reaper »
After five days and nights of action, we already find one team on the brink of being eliminated from the 2011 NHL playoffs. Following Sunday's 3-2 loss in Chicago, the Blackhawks now stand one game away from being given the broom treatment by the Canucks.
But before they drop the puck on Tuesday night however, we will know if Vancouver will be without the services of Raffi Torres who delivered a ferocious shot to the head of Brent Seabrook behind the Chicago goal. Torres was playing his first game since returning from a four-game suspension after a similar hit on Edmonton's Jordan Eberle.
Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville certainly thinks Torres deserves more time to sit and think about what he has done. After the game he said, "I thought it was a major [penalty] live and after seeing the replay, clearly".
Either way, the Fat Lady may be delivering her first performance of the spring tomorrow night in the windy city.
Elsewhere around the league…a pair of other teams will

To say that Thrashers defenseman Zach Bogosian had a down year would be quite the understatement. In his third NHL season he seemed to have slumped in almost all aspects of his game.
Offensively he scored only 5 goals, down from the 10 of last year despite duplicating the same 155 shots on goal total. His 17 overall points were 2 fewer than what he put up in his rookie campaign even though he played in 24 more games now as opposed to then.
But it was on the defensive end of the ice where his game seemed to take an even greater step backwards from his first two NHL seasons. Bogosian finished the year with a –27 rating, which continues his downward tend in that category. In his rookie campaign he posted a +11 then followed it up with a –18 last season.
Of the

The NHL playoffs are set to begin tomorrow, so now's the time to pony up your thoughts and predictions on the eight matchups in the first round.
But first, for those who were asking about the "secret project" Audra Martin and I were discussing the other day, here it is. She produced this fine video about Dan Snyder and the award named in his memory. Bryan Little was honored with this award as the team unsung hero this season.
Nicely done, Audra.
Now…let's just dive right in to our predictions, shall we?
Eastern Conference
#1 Washington vs. #8 NY Rangers: Season series won by the Rangers 3-1-0.
The Caps are coming off their fourth straight Southeastern Division championship. However, they so far have but one series win following the previous three. This year is a little different, as they seem to have discovered how to play a little defense. That, plus I think Bruce Boudreau and the Caps will come into this postseason with a bit of a chip on their shoulder looking to erase

Over the course of the next day or so I'll be performing my annual spring chore of converting this on-line Thrashers forum into one where the NHL playoffs are the primary focus of discussion. But before I do, and before the recently wrapped-up season fades into a distant memory, let's take time to review the good, the un-good and the ugly of the Thrashers season.
I've paired the 'good' and the un-good' down to just a few, but I'm sure many of you will have others to add to each column. As for the most aesthetically unappealing aspect of this past Thrashers season…well, I think there is only one clear item worthy of that honor.
We'll begin with…
The Good
Fantastic First Half: Speaking of distant memories…there was the good start that we witnessed here in Thrasherville last fall. Given the way things eventually tuned out it's somewhat hard to believe that at one time this team was at one time 19-11-5 and sitting a top the Southeast Division. In fact, after 43 games played they
Continue reading The good, the un-good and the ugly of Thrashers 2010-11 season »
Instead of typing out words that could properly describe last night's heaping, steaming pile of FAIL that the Thrashers left on the ice of Philips Arena, I wanted to try and find something positive to write about. And one "positive" that came to mind was Bryan Little…specifically speaking, his team-leading plus/minus stat.
Now, like many of you I always take the +/- numbers with a healthy dose of salt. It's a stat that can sometimes be misleading as it doesn't factor in such things as if the individual is playing top-line minutes against top-line opponents and if a defenseman is being paired with another who might be weighing him down.
However, sometimes a player's +/- rating is indeed well deserved. For instance, take Zach Bogosian and his -25 for the season. I don't think you'll find too many Thrashers fans who've been paying attention that would argue he doesn't deserve that negative stat hanging around his neck.

In most cases, when you lay an egg on Broadway it's considered a bad thing. But not when your goalie lays one up on the scoreboard in New York, as was the case Thursday night.
Behind Ondrej Pavelec's shutout performance, the Atlanta Thrashers played one of it's best games in many, many moons and beat the New York Rangers 3-0 in a game that was very important to their playoff chances. It was the fourth shutout of the season for Pavelec…the first since blanking the Washington Capitals 1-0 just prior to the All Star break… and the sixth of his career.
Pavelec stopped 29 Ranger shots to drop the goose egg on the ice of Madison Square Garden.
The Rangers, on the other hand, looked like a team playing with their Pucker Factor Meter cranked up to 11. The loss leaves them sitting with 91 and only one game left, Saturday afternoon against the New Jersey Devils.
Continue reading Rangers left hoping Thrashers can repeat their Broadway performance against Canes »
With the Thrashers 2010-11 season coming to a merciful end this week, we once again set our sights ahead towards a new season and fresh start next fall. One of the first steps in doing this is to take a look at those on the current roster who are scheduled to become unrestricted free agents on July 1 and consider whether or not they should be re-signed or allowed to skate off into the Thrasherville sunset.
There are three such Thrashers players slated for UFA status this summer…Eric Boulton, Radek Dvorak and Freddy Meyer. No, they're not exactly the types you expect on the top of anyone's UFA wish list. But nonetheless, they become our participants in this year's "Should They Stay or Should They Go" free agent debate.
Eric Boulton
Total Voters: 308
Eric Boulton:Finishing his sixth season as a Thrasher, Boulton has found a niche as the team's enforcer over the years. He's been involved in some

Over the course of the past several weeks, there have been many different words Thrashers fans have used to describe the way this 2010-11 season has turned out. Some have even been fit to print here. But Nik Antropov's comments following Saturday's 3-2 loss in Boston, one that officially eliminated them postseason play, seems to contain the word most appropriate.
"It's frustrating, that's the feeling right now", the Thrashers forward said after the game. "Nothing else but frustration."
The key word there would be frustrating…or frustration, take your pick.
Indeed Antropov's words could accurately sum up the feeling after losing yet another close game. They led 2-1 early in the second period after Evander Kane's 19th goal of the season. However, the Thrashers failed to convert their early success into a win.
Continue reading Thrashers prepare for final week of frustrating season »
He stands silently in the chilly, damp mist that has blanketed Thrasherville for the past several days. In his hand, he holds a hockey stick with a sharply curved blade instead of a scythe.
Robed in black, he makes his way through the NHL's landscape to gather up 14 of the league's poor unfortunate souls. One by one, as they are mathematically eliminated from postseason contention and their playoff aspirations expire, he gathers them up and takes them away.
He is hockey's Grim Reaper…the angel of the dark light that the Atlanta Thrashers have become very well acquainted over the past eleven NHL seasons.
Thursday night, the Reaper traveled to Philadelphia knowing that a loss to the Flyers would cause the Thrashers playoff hopes to finally flat-line and be declared officially, if not mercifully, dead. Oh, their fate has been known and accepted for some time now and the team's fans have gathered around the deathbed awaiting the inevitable.
But on this night, death would be

A long wait is finally over.
West Virginia University at Parkersburg's business programs have been awarded national accreditation after a multi-year process. Steve Morgan, chairman of the business division, said the school's faculty has been working for several years to earn accreditation through the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs, which finally was awarded last month.
"Its something we've been looking at for a long time, working at fairly aggressively for the past several years," Morgan said. "It's a pretty significant step to be able to associate our name with ACBSP."
Morgan said first, faculty had to complete a self-study that ACBSP reviewed. Next was a campus visit. Then, the ACBSP Baccalaureate/Graduate Degree Board of Commissioners and Associate Degree Board of Commissioners met in Kansas City, Mo., in April to review the quality of business degree programs at colleges and universities seeking accreditation from the organization. The two boards granted initial accreditation to WVU-P and 33 other institutions.
"We were ecstatic," Morgan said. "We were expecting it in some ways. We were fully prepared and believe in the quality of our programs and what we offered. We were confident, but getting the official word was very nice."
Programs that will now be accredited include the associate of applied science degrees in business administration, with areas of concentration in accounting, entrepreneurial studies and general business; business technology; journalism; associate of science degrees in business administration; bachelor of applied science in business administration with areas of concentration in business information technology, financial management, management and marketing and public relations; and bachelor of science in business administration with areas of concentration in accounting and general business.
Steve Parscale, ACBSP director of accreditation, said WVU-P and the other school that earned accreditation have proven the quality of their business programs.
"These campuses have shown their commitment to teaching excellence and to the process of quality improvement by participating in the accreditation process," Parscale said. "The initial accreditation and reaffirmation of accreditation granted to these institutions shows their commitment to provide the highest quality business education for their students."
Morgan said the accreditation means students and faculty can be more confident in the business programs. Although WVU-P is accredited, the ACBSP accreditation is an extra stamp of approval.
"The impact on the students is the ACBSP is underwriting continuous improvement," Morgan said. "The biggest improvement for the student is the quality of the program will continue to grow. We'll continue to get better, having a body like the ACBSP in our corner. It will give our students more confidence in our programs. I don't know how common it is for a community college to have a separate accreditation for the business program."
The accreditation team was led by Morgan, business, economics and mathematics division chairman, and WVU-P professor Pam Braden. Others who contributed include faculty members Jeff Holland, Stephen Smith, Sy Sarkara, Carol Thomas, Dianne Davis, Roger Lewis, Vijay Shah, John Altman, Debra Baker, Torie Jackson and Lauriel Edwards.
Morgan said the accreditation can be credited to the team's hard work and dedication.
"It's a total team effort," he said. "I can't emphasize that enough."
