Detailed Itinerary
The Deccan Odyssey - 8 Days
Jan 16
: Mumbai – Sindhudurg.
You are picked up from your hotel (or other choice of location at Mumbai) in the morning and will proceed for a guided city tour of Mumbai (an exclusive from Easy Tours of India). The tour begins at the Prince of Wales Museum, built to commemorate King George V's first visit to India in 1905.
Designed in the Indo-Saracenic style, the museum has sections of art, paintings, archeological exhibits and natural history. After the museum tour you will visit the famous 'Dhobi Ghat' & observe the age old tradition of the Dhobi's doing Mumbai's laundry! Continue the tour with a drive up to Malabar Hill, where the hanging gardens give a panoramic view of the city and the "Queen's Necklace" (Marine Drive). The tour then takes a drive through the Flora Fountain and Fort area, where you can view the impressive Gothic and Victorian buildings that were constructed during the British 'Raj'. Visit the Victoria Terminus (now known as Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus). It is India's finest example of a Gothic architecture and one of the world's busiest railway stations. Drive around Horniman Circle and visit the Town Hall, right beside the docks of Mumbai. Visit the city's signature landmark, "The Gateway of India", situated overlooking Mumbai's harbor. This structure was built to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to Mumbai. After your tour you are driven to the Chhatrapati Shivaji Rail Terminus. At 3 PM you are welcomed aboard the Deccan Odyssey. The Deccan Odyssey departs at 4:40 pm and dinner is served at 8 pm.
Jan 17
: Sindhudurg.
Enjoy breakfast aboard the Deccan Odyssey at 6:30 am. At 8 am you will depart for Malvan Jetty. At 9:30 you will visit Sindhudurg Fort by boat. At noon you arrive at Takarli Resort, where you are at leisure after an enjoyable lunch. At 3:45 you depart for Dhamapur Village via your air-conditioned coach. On the way you will visit a cashew factory. Enjoy dinner aboard the Deccan Odyssey.
Jan 18
: Goa.
Enjoy breakfast on the Deccan Odyssey. Western hippies and sun lovers gave Goa international recognition almost fifty years ago; it's been
a tourism destination for Indians for quite a bit longer than that. Goa's numerous beaches are everything that they're professed to be, with miles of beautiful sand and water that stays warm even in the winter. There are enough beaches to ensure relative privacy, as well as spectacular beachfront hotels and resorts that can provide any service you may require. There are lush forests and plantations; vivid 'bazaars' and events; as well as unique local handicrafts and souvenirs. From the 3rd century BC onwards, Goa was ruled by various Hindu dynasties. Despite that, Goa and its people seem to have been influenced more by the Portuguese that came afterwards. The Portuguese arrived here in the early 16th century and were not eased out by the Indian government until 1961. The architecture, customs, lifestyle, people are still primarily influenced by the departed occupants, in stark contrast to the conservative social mores of the rest of India. You will take a tour of the historic churches in Goa: Saint Augustine, the Basilica of Bom Jesus, and the Se Cathedral. Visit the St. Francis of Assisi museum and view its collection of Goan antiques. You will also visit Fonthanas, the Latin quarters at Panjim. Enjoy lunch aboard the Deccan Odyssey. At 4:15 PM you will depart for dinner and a cultural night at a beach resort and return to the Deccan Odyssey.
Jan 19
: Goa.
Enjoy breakfast on the Deccan Odyssey. Depart via an air-conditioned coach to visit the Mhalsa and Mangeshi Hindu Temples. You will also visit the Sahakari Spice Farm at Ponda and will be able to see a variety of locally grown spices. Enjoy a traditional Goan style lunch at the farm. After lunch you will proceed to Chandoi Village where you will visit the Menezes Braganza House, a beautiful 16th century heritage home. Return to the Deccan Odyssey and depart for Kolhapur. Enjoy dinner aboard the Deccan Odyssey.
Jan 20
: Kolhapur.
Enjoy breakfast on the Deccan Odyssey. Arrive in Kolhapur. Visit the Shalini Palace, Mahalaxmi Temple and the New Palace. You will get the opportunity to experience cultural programs and visits to handicraft stalls. Enjoy lunch and dinner aboard the Deccan Odyssey.
Jan 21
: Aurangabad.
Arrive at Daulatabad railway station and enjoy breakfast aboard the Deccan Odyssey. Tour the Daulatabad Fort and the Ellora caves. The Ellora Caves were sculpted by Buddhist monks starting in the 7th century BC. The next two centuries saw a resurgence of Hinduism, reflected by the creation of the next 17 caves with Hindu themes, sculpture and art. These caves include Cave 16, the awe-inspiring "Kailash Temple". This cave temple, like all the others, was created out of one rock. However, the significance of that fact changes when you put it in the perspective of this enormous structure. The remaining four caves were created during Jainism's heyday in this region and are built to a slightly smaller scale. The Ellora caves did see destruction under the Moghul Emperors; many shrines and other art were either destroyed or damaged. Fortunately, most of the monuments survived. Enjoy lunch in a hotel in Aurangabad. After lunch you will depart for local sightseeing including a visit to the Bibi-Ka-Maqbara and free time for shopping. Enjoy dinner on the Deccan Odyssey.
Jan 22
: Bhusawal.
Enjoy breakfast on the Deccan Odyssey. Arrive at Bhusawal Railway Station and depart via an air-conditioned coach to visit the UNESCO World Heritage Ajanta caves. Along with the Ellora Caves, the Ajanta Caves are amazing achievements more ancient than most of the other destination in India. Carved into the hard basalt of remote hillsides in Maharashtra, these caves have remained miraculously undamaged over two millenniums. You begin by being awed at their sheer size. Buddhist monks and other craftsmen began excavating, sculpting and painting at Ajanta in the 2nd century BC. The incredible variety of paintings and sculpture were created in hard rock by using elaborate and ingenious lighting, tools and materials. These 28 caves are a testament to the devotion of the Buddhists as well as the talents of their skilled craftsmen. Ajanta's incredible paintings are even more amazing considering that the color and texture you're admiring was created by artists about 2000 years ago. Ajanta was known only to the hill tribes till the early 19th century, when a group of British army soldiers were led to it by one of these locals. Return to the Deccan Odyssey and depart for Nashik. Enjoy lunch on the Deccan Odyssey. After lunch depart via an air-conditioned coach to explore the Panchwati Ghats and Ancient Temples. Enjoy dinner on the Deccan Odyssey.
Jan 23
: Mumbai.
Enjoy breakfast aboard the train. Upon your arrival at Mumbai railway station you will disembark and bid farewell to the staff of the Deccan Odyssey.

TRANSCRIPT: U.S. Senator Leverett
Saltonstall and Assistant
Majority Leader Mike
Sen. Saltonstall: What can Congress accomplish in the remaining
three months of this session? Will the Summit
Conference help ease world tensions? What are
the big issues in this 1960 election year?
These questions, Senator Mansfield, you are well
qualified to discuss. As a ranking member of the
all-important Senate Foreign Relations Committee
and as Assistant Majority Leader of the Senate, I
know you have some firm ideas on these great questions,
and I am awfully pleased, Mike, that you
are able to join me in this interview for the folks
in Massachusetts.
Sen. Mansfield: Well, Leverett, it 1 s always a pleasure to be with
you, and I hope that we can give them a good bipartisan
set of arguments befc)re we 1 re through.
Sen. Saltonstall: Well, I'm sure we will w~th yot, here. Now as
a Senior Member of the Foreign Relations Committee,
you, I know, have given a lot of thought to the
Summit Conference, and you ' ve made several speechffi
on the subject. That conference will take place
this summer. Can we expect that any real achievements
will come out of ~he meetings, in your
Sen. Mansfield: Well frankly, Lev, I'm a little dubious, a little
skeptical, because I cannot forget the Geneva
Conference of 1955, wherein Khrushchev took the
ball and achieved a propaganda victory. I do
not think that too much can or should be expected
~ut of summit meetings because I think most of
the work should be done at the ambassadorial and
the foreign minister level, so that the ground
work can be laid for the final stamp of approval,
so to speak, at the Summit when the leaders of
the nations meet. This is a meeting in which I
hope something can be accomplish&d, and I'm sure
that the President will do all that he possibly
can, but until the meeting is concluded I am
going to be from Missouri -- a little skeptical -I'll
have to be shO\m.
Sen. Saltonstall: Well, I think you take the same position on that
as the Secretary of State, Mr. Herter, in his
testimony recently.
Sen. Mansfield: Well, I think that Chris Herter was being realistic,
was being honest, and was being as factual
as he could in his testimony before the Foreign
Relations Committee. I think a great deal of
Mr. Herter who has performed magnificently in

his job under difficult circur.stances, and I
know that it's not his inten~ion to try and fool
the American people into expecting something
which likely will not happen .
Well I'm glad to hear you say that . Now do you
think we can achieve any easing of tensions in
Berlin as we try to work out a solution to the
question of a divided Germany?
Well, under the present circumstances, I would
say no, because Mr. Khrushchev is reite~ating
and iterating what he has said many times over.
All that we've achieved, as far as Berlin is
concerned, is an extension of the time in which
Mr. Khrushchev would want us to get out, but
I note that in Southeast Asia r ecently Mr. Khrushchev
stated that he thought a special status
should be set up for West Ber~in and he threatened
once again to conclude a treaty of peace with
East Germany. Well, he shouldn't talk about
just West Berlin because I think if there's going
to be a settlement in Be~lin, it should include
both Berlins, and in that way maybe something
could be accomplished which would bring about
the creation, in time, of a unified Germany. As
far as a peace treaty with East Germany is concerned,
anytime Mr. Khrushchev wants to sign one,
he can, and there's nothing we can do about it.
Yes, but when he signs it, it violates an agreement
that he had with us when Berlin was put
in the jurisdiction of all four countries.
No question about that. Secretary Herter issued
a document a few days ago which proved in writing
that we were in West Berlin by legitimate right;
by what Chancellor Adenauer calls "right of
conquest" and there is, of course, a special
situation which exists in that country and we
have every right to be there and to stay there.
Yes. Now, Senator, there has been some criticism
that we are being submissive towards the Soviets.
For example, the President's decision not to
defy the Soviet ban on high-level flights into
Berlin has been interpreted by some as a sign of
weakness . Personally, I don't think it is a
sign of weakness. How do you feel about it?
Well I agree with you Lev, because I think it
was just a chip on the shoulder, a move just as
the Soviet move as far as the passports for the
Western Allies were concerned coming into Berlin
goes. I'm glad that both of these matters have

been alleviated, that the chips on the shoulders
have been taken away, because I think that if we
have too many of these chips on the shoulders
we may well have an accident or a miscalculation
and then, of course, we would all be 1n the soup.
In other words, an inconsequential -- or what migtt
be an inconsequential point of view in relation
to the question of our staying in Berlin and of
our position in Germany as a whole -- if we're
too firm about that -- it 1night lead to trouble.
That's right, and these 10,000-foot flights,
this revocation of passes, these are all side
shows -- these aren't too important; the big thing
is to try and work a solution for all of Berlin
and, in time, for all of Germany.
I agree. Now you and I both have been mightily
interested in the question of disarmament. I feel
we must work towards practical disarmament controls
just as quickly as we can, don't you?
Yes indeed I do, Lev, and I'm delighted with the
visit recently of Prime Minister MacMillan with
President Eisenhower. I'm hopeful that these
two leaders will give every possible consideration,
and I'm sure they will, to the proposal
made by the Russians at Geneva, though I must
point out that there is nothing in writing as
yet on which they can go, although, as result
of a press conference in Geneva by the Russians,
certain postulates were laid down. I think the
people of the world are very interested in the
field of disarmament and especially in the field
of nuclear disarmament, or perhaps I should say,
a stop to nuclear testing, and if we do not face
up to this problem and try and do something
tangible, then, I'm afraid, the Soviet Union
once again is going to take the ball and run
away with it. And, after all, what the Soviet
Union is offering to accept now is what Presi dent
Eisenhower, in large part, offered in the
first place, so it's our baby.
It's our baby, and what we've got to do is to
make certain that the position is taken clearly
and not just left to generalities.
That's right. And we ought to, as much as we
possibly can, get in the highest degree of regulation
and inspection so that there will be no
difficulties on either side.
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 40, Folder 68, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
Sen. Saltonstall: Now Mike, may I turn to another subject. Several
weeks ago, the Secretary of State, Mr. Herter,
was on this program, and he expressed grave
concern over the explosive situation in Cuba. How
de you think we can best cope with Castro's firey
outbursts against the United States and what do
you foresee in the months ahead with respect to
our relations?
Sen. Mansfield: Well, that's what we used to call the $64 question.
All I can say is that the Administration is to be
commended for its patience, for its leaning over
backwards, for its attempts to try and get along
with Castro. I think that Castro is losing some
of his prestige in Cuba because, while the majority
of the people -- the great majority of the people -
are still behind him, I think his tactics day by
day are losing support at home. I would say that
in the field of Latin America as a whole this
country has achieved added stature because of
the way we've handled Mr. Castro. I'm delighted
also that the Administration has seen fit, and I
think this is overdue, to force a tighter control
over the planes which are emanating from Florida
and going out to the Caribbean.
Sen. Saltonstall: That's very important because that's the item,
if you will, on which they base their complaints
to us.
Sen. Mansfield: Yes, and what we see is a number of adventurers
using this as a means to enrich themselves, who
get their own country, the United States, into
trouble and we just can't afford that.
Sen. Saltonstall: And what we've got to think of in our relations
in Cuba is the whole Latin American problem as
a whole and how they're going to look towards
what we do in Cuba.
Sen. Mansfield: Exactly, and it isn't so much a matter of Castro.
The question is, what the effect will be on the
Cuban people who I think by and large are still
extremely friendly toward us and we hope they'll
continue that way.
Sen. Saltonstall: I hope so too. Now, Mike, your Committee has
just been considering this year's mutual security
program. I know you feel quite strongly on this
program. What do you think Cor.gress will do
with the President's request this year~

Sen. Saltonstall:
Sen. Mansfield:
Sen. Saltonstall:
Sen. Mansfield:
Sen. Saltonstall:
Sen. Mansfield:
Sen. Saltonstall:
I think that the request of the President will
be trimmed somewhat ...
It's 4 billion 200 million.
Yes. I think it will be trLnmed; I don't know
how much, I would guess anywhere from 500
million to 750 million dollars. I'm glad to
see, though, that the shift is going away
from military aid, which now comprises about
50% of the program, towards loans on a longterm,
reasonable-rate basis. For example, the
Development Loan Fund is getting more and more
in the way of what used to formerly be grants.
I think that what we're trying to develop and
we should develop is not a feeling of dependence,
which has marked the program under both Democratic
and Republican Administ.cations through
the extensive use of grants, but rather a feeling
of interdependence based on long-term loans at
low interest rates. The move is in that direction
and I hope it will continue that way.
And these small countries which are feeling
so strongly their nationalistic spirit -- that
interdependence instead of a dependent relation
is what they want.
Oh, and it's very important because they want
to feel equal to the rest of the world, and
as long as they operate on a grant basis they
are going to feel inferior and we can afford
long-term loans at low interest rates in our
own interest and in the interest of the countries
which we are seeking to help.
Now turning, Mike, to domestic concerns -- the
civil rights debate in the Senate over the past
several weeks has slowed up other legislation
that must be acted upon.
That's true.
Of course, the civil rights debate was one of
the most important things for Congress to consider
this year, and in that, I'm sure that you
agree with me.
Yes Indeed.
But now what we've got to do when that is
fini shed is to accelerate our ether domestic
issues and that's BOing to be hard to do because
Congress will close about July 4th or 5th, don't
you think?

Sen. Mansfield:
Sen. Saltonstall:
Sen. Mansfield:
Sen. Saltonstall:
Sen. Mansfield:
Sen. Saltonstall:
Sen. Mansfield:
Yes, we'll have to because of the fact that
the Democrats have their convention in Los
Angeles on July the 11th, and the Republicans,
as you well know, a week or so later.
Now what do you think are the most important
matters that the Senate should accomplish
between now and the end of the session?
Well frankly, I don't think that we'll do too
much in the Senate or in the Congress as a whole
because of the shortness of the time remaining.
I anticipate, though, and you're far more qualified
to speak on this than I, that we will,
for the first time in many years, complete all
our appropriations bills by the first of July,
1960. I would think also that we would pass
a fairly good mutual security bill in the meantime.
But as far as social legislation is concerned,
because of the shortness of time, I
don't think that much will be done in that field.
There will be efforts on several items, but
how much actually will become law is the question
Well, as you know, Lev, the difficulty is that
you might get action in one house but not in
the other.
That is correct. Now, Senator, you are an
astute political observer. Would you care to
comment on what will be the leading issues in
this Presidential election campaign and who do
you think will get your party's nomination?
Well I think the leading issues will be foreign
policy, defense, the farm problem, the high cost
of living. As far as the Democratic candidates
are concerned, we have to recognize the fact
that the Senate this year is really a Presidentiru
cockpit because Vice President Nixon on the
other side is the presiding officer of that
body. But at the present time Senator Kennedy
I think is away in the lead. I think Senator
Johnson, the Majority Leader, is second, and that
Senators Humphrey and Symington are coming up
fast. Much will depend on what happens in
Wisconsin and West Virginia. If Senator Kennedy
wins both those states in a fairly good fashion,
then I think he's going to be extremely hard to
stop, if not impossible to stop. If he does
not win those states handsomely, then I think
the man to watch will be Lyndon Johnson who
will go to the Convention, I think, with something
on the order of 450 to 500 votes pledged
to him.
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 40, Folder 68, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
Sen. Saltonstall:
That's a very frank answer from a very distinguished
man. Now, Senator Mansfield, this has
been a helpful and interesting interview, and
I am certainly grateful to you, as I know our
friends back in Massachuset ts are, for your
appearing with me on this program. These have
been timely comments indeed. Thank you very
much for being with us Senator Mike Mansfield.
and thank you for being with us. I hope you'll
join me in two weeks when I will bring you
another report from Washington.

Soar like the eagl,e laugh like the monk
I'm guessing this blog is written by a malaysian schoolgirl. Not because it says so in her profile, I'm just getting good at this. "Soar like the Eagle, but laugh like the monk." is a highly random blog run by a girl called Jen who exchanges in-jokes with her friends blogs and links (or pastes) interesting tidbits onto her site.
Now, its not that I don't enjoy her writing style, and she assures us she does not speak like she writes, but there are certain things that detract from the readability. For example, "!!!!!!" and "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" are great ways to, um , exclaim but there are many useful words that work just as well. An adjective in the hand is worth two bangs in the bush. I just made that up, can you tell? CAPITALS ARE ALSO NO REPLACEMENT FOR EMPHATIC USE OF LANGUAGE.
Its not all bad of course, she links to some genuinely funny stuff and her blog is well received in a larger Malaysian community of blogs. The design is cluttered, but generally nice with lovely tones of brown and a great stock photo decorating the top.
The header phrase for "Soar like the Eagle, but laugh like the monk." says "Cheesy, desperately trying to be funny and unentertainingly blog. I'm off to a good start, ain't I?" I'm not even sure what that means, but dictionary.com assures me that unentertainingly is not a word. I could be wrong though, and so can dictionary.com, Jen's blog is well loved and who am I to say otherwise.

Laminectomy is surgery to remove the lamina — the back part of the vertebra that covers your spinal canal. Also known as decompression surgery, laminectomy enlarges your spinal canal to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves.
This pressure can be caused by a variety of problems, including bony overgrowths within the spinal canal (spinal stenosis) or by a herniated disk. Laminectomy is most commonly performed on the vertebrae in the lower back and in the neck.
Laminectomy is generally used only when more-conservative treatments — such as medication and physical therapy — have failed to relieve symptoms. Laminectomy also may be recommended if symptoms are severe or worsening dramatically.

Actually, I think the real question is, how good were the some of the ones that got bumped in favour of Good Girls, and how little taste did the people "helping him" choose the songs have to overlook them?
Also, has anyone ever wondered with 100+ songs created during the writers' workshop for Ryan's album ... how bad were the ones that got bumped in favor of "Good Girls"?

Pros – Lots of training and ok pay.
Cons – No room for growth in fact its clear that if you get stuck in this call center you will die there. The head of HR in this office is a mess. She only cares about the "big bosses" and couldn't care less about the average employee. Management doesn't listen to suggestions or anything else. The place is a gray warehouse they turned into a call center with LOW morale. I feel bad for the great friends I made here and left behind because they are stuck in He. Micro management rules and the Quality team is a joke made up of reps who fail their own quality screening and never should have gotten the positions. This is more like a day care for adults then a career.
Advice to Senior Management – Open your eyes! Some people are an asset to the company. Recognize them and there years of experience and take care of them, promote them, don't just stick them on the phone doing the same jobs you have temps do! Understand the abilities of your staff and use them to the fullest also get rid of dead weight, some people just dont get IT!
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

NEW YORK — Protesters in cities around the world targeted major Olympic sponsors Wednesday, just ahead of the Winter Games in Sochi, urging them to speak out against Russia's law restricting gay-rights activities. Two more sponsors of the U.S. Olympic team condemned the law, but leading global sponsors did not join them.
Lesbian and Gay Rights activists take part in a demonstration aimed to coincide with the upcoming Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, against laws aimed at stifling Gay Rights in Russia, opposite Downing Street in London, Wednesday, Feb. 5, 2014. In London, about 150 people rallying outside Prime Minister David Cameron's office in London urged McDonald's and the IOC's other sponsors to speak out. The activists there said they plan to deliver a petition signed by more than 100,000 people to a nearby McDonald's restaurant.

Russian gay rights activists protested the upcoming Olympic Games in Sochi. Two activists unfurled banners reading "Berlin 1936 = Sochi 2014," referring to the Olympic Games that were held in the capital of Nazi Germany. One-man pickets are legal in Russia and the two activists holding signs were spaced far enough apart that neither was arrested.

Billie Jean King will not be at Olympic opening
NEW YORK — Billie Jean King will not attend Friday's opening ceremony of the Sochi Olympics in Russia because her mother is ill.
King, who was selected to help lead the U.S. delegation to the Games, has been outspoken in her opposition to Russia's anti-gay law.
The White House announced Wednesday that former U.S. hockey player Caitlin Cahow will take King's place.
Betty Moffitt, her 91-year-old mother, lives in Arizona and has been ill for some time. King will be joined by her brother Randy Moffitt, a former pitcher for the San Francisco Giants.
"''No, no to Russia's anti-gay law," chanted several dozen protesters in Paris who gathered in front of a McDonald's restaurant at the Place de la Republique. The fast-food chain is one of the International Olympic Committee's 10 top sponsors for the Sochi Games, which open Friday.
Protests also took place in London, Jerusalem, St. Petersburg, Russia, and elsewhere. In all, 20 demonstrations were planned by the advocacy group All Out and its allies.
McDonald's, like other top IOC sponsors, reiterated that it supports human rights and opposes discrimination, but its statement did not mention the Russian law.
Coca-Cola, another prime target of protests, also didn't mention the law in its latest statement, though it described itself as a strong supporter of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
"We do not condone intolerance or discrimination of any kind anywhere in the world," Coca-Cola said.
Visa, another IOC top sponsor, issued a similar statement, as did Dow Chemical, which said it is "engaged with the IOC on this important topic." General Electric, an IOC sponsor since 2005, declined comment.
In contrast to the cautious approach of IOC sponsors, three sponsors of the U.S. Olympic Committee chose to speak out explicitly against the Russian law.
The first was AT&T.
"Russia's law is harmful to LGBT individuals and families, and it's harmful to a diverse society," it said Tuesday in a blog post.
Following suit on Wednesday were DeVry University, a for-profit education company, and yogurt-maker Chobani.
"We are against Russia's anti-LGBT law and support efforts to improve LGBT equality," said Ernie Gibble, a DeVry spokesman.
"It's disappointing that in 2014 this is still an issue," said Chobani's CEO, Hamdi Ulukaya. "We are against all laws and practices that discriminate in any way, whether it be where you come from or who you love — for that reason, we oppose Russia's anti-LGBT law."
AT&T's move was praised by leading groups in the coalition that has been working for months to pressure sponsors into speaking out.
"AT&T has broken the ice," said Minky Worden, director of global initiatives for Human Rights Watch. "Top sponsors of the Olympics like Coke, GE, McDonald's and Visa are going to have to follow suit — they are very much on the wrong side of history in refusing to use their leverage with the International Olympic Committee to ask for reform and to defend LGBT Russians."
The Russian law, signed in July by President Vladimir Putin, outlaws pro-gay "propaganda" that could be accessible to minors. Critics say it is so restrictive and vague that it deters almost any public expression of support for gay rights.
Nonetheless, about a dozen Russian activists protested the law Wednesday in St. Petersburg, hundreds of miles north of Sochi. Two unfurled banners reading "Berlin 1936 = Sochi 2014," referring to the Olympic Games held in Nazi Germany. One-person protests are legal in Russia, and the two activists holding signs were spaced far enough apart that neither was arrested.
In London, about 150 people rallying outside Prime Minister David Cameron's office urged McDonald's and the IOC's other sponsors to speak out.

Design for a China Plate, 1889, by Paul Gauguin (Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute)
Special Installation: Prints by Paul Gauguin
April 8, 2005 - June 19, 2005
Paul Gauguin was one of the most innovative printmakers of the late nineteenth century. In 1889, he exhibited his first prints at the Café Volpini in Paris, a striking series of zincographs (lithographs from zinc plates) on bright yellow paper that expressed his distinctive style based on flat shapes and strong outlines. Inspired by his subsequent travels to the South Seas, he took up the largely forgotten medium of woodcut and revitalized it as a bold and expressive technique that he considered both "primitive" and modern. Originally intended to accompany an autobiographical manuscript about his Tahitian journey, Gauguin's Noa Noa woodcuts are his most unconventional printed images, both in terms of their rich symbolic content and their technical audacity.

Low impact cardiovascular activities can help to minimize the risk of injury. However, low impact activities such as walking are sometimes perceived as not having as many options for increasing caloric burn. Fortunately, incorporating interval training with walking can help increase caloric expenditure. Plus, walking is an activity that requires no equipment, is easy to do, and is one of the most natural forms of physical activity. Interval training involves bouts of higher intensity exercise mixed with periods of lower intensity exercise that allows for partial recovery. More calories are burned at higher intensities when compared to lower intensities of
Pop Quiz: How many more pounds of sugar do Americans eat each year as compared to 1970? 5 pounds? Maybe 10?… Would you believe 15 more pounds? According to NPHW.org, the average American eats 15 more pounds of sugar each year than in 1970. This finding suggests that Americans, on average, need to scale way back on added sugars and sweeteners! Let's reflect to an earlier post to remind us of the ever-present sugars surrounding us every day. What exactly are added sugars? Added sugars are sugars and syrups that are added to foods or beverages during processing or preparation. They differ
April Showers Bring May Flowers! I enjoy a good rainstorm – there's something about the pitter-patter of water falling from the sky that soothes my soul. It also soothes my lawn and surrounding foliage that are in desperate need of some water. For those of you who don't want your April work-outs to become wash-outs, let's déjà vu to an earlier post that can prepare you to be an all-season exerciser.

Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation or PNF is a form of static stretching that involves both a static stretch followed by an isometric contraction of the muscle that is being stretched. The process is then repeated several times. Partner PNF has been shown to yield greater improvements in flexibility than static stretching (O'Hora, J., et al., 2011)1. However, partner PNF stretching has 2 major drawbacks – 1) it requires a partner and 2) has more risk in that your partner must communicate and respond appropriately to ensure that the stretch is performed safely. Self-PNF stretching could eliminate both of those drawbacks. However,
It's official… Spring has sprung! Everyone in the neighborhood knows where to find my family this time of year – outdoors!

As you are no doubt aware, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death within countries with a moderate to high standard of living. Among the major risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD) are high blood levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL). For over two decades, statins have been the most popular type of drug for lowering LDL cholesterol levels. It is indisputable that lowering LDL decreases the incidence of CHD. Among the mechanisms for plaque development within arteries are oxidative stress caused by free radicals, as well as inflammation. Coenzyme Q10 is a potent antioxidant that helps to
You may have heard… March is National Nutrition Month®. As I strive to balance my family, career, errands, and everything else in between, I am reminiscent of an earlier post that can help us all address the age-old question that we encounter on a daily basis – "What's for dinner?" Something simple. Something healthy. And something fast (but not fast food). Whether you have one mouth to feed or a whole family of mouths, the answer to this question doesn't have to be difficult to come up with. There are many (almost too many) places to look for simple, healthy,
In a recent posted blog in September, 2013 on Whole-Body Cryotherapy we examined whether cold therapy speeds up recovery from muscle soreness. This topic is of great importance to athletes and coaches alike who want to plan an athlete's workout to maximize performance as delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) often reduces force production and range of motion (ROM) at joints. Even if you don't classify yourself as an athlete, if you exercise you have likely experienced DOMS. Now the use of foam rollers is commonly advocated to alleviate muscles soreness and stiff joints along with improving neuromuscular efficiency and improving
The use of ropes as fitness equipment has been on the rise in gyms. Ropes, often called battle ropes, similar looking to the ones used at one time for climbing in PE classes, are now being used for a variety of other exercises. The ropes are normally between 30 – 50 feet in length, 1 -2 inches in thickness, and anchored around a pole so an individual can hold both ends of the rope. Thicker and longer ropes will make exercises more advanced. Examples of common repeated movements using battle ropes include the following exercises: Alternating Waves: In a stable
Long-stemmed red roses, heart-shaped boxes filled with assorted chocolates, and romantic candle-light dinners – just a few ideas that come to mind for the upcoming Valentine's Day weekend.

Even though Chinese foods can be high in calories, I know of an earlier post that reveals healthy alternatives that will make your heart sing!

One man who did appreciate Rock Creek Park, however, was Theodore Roosevelt. When he first became president he was a vigorous 42 year old, an advocate of "the strenuous life" fond of chopping down trees on the outskirts of Washington and swimming across the Potomac. The press had a field day covering his athletic outings. Roosevelt was particularly fond of what he called "scrambles," exhausting cross-country hikes. His favorite place in Washington for these expeditions was Rock Creek Park, where he led members of his "Tennis Cabinet" and various hapless foreign diplomats on grueling hikes. His motto was "Over, Under or Through – But Never Around."
In January 1905, for example, he led a group of nine boys, including three of his sons, on a hike through Rock Creek Park. "I do not think that one of them saw anything incongruous in the President's getting as bedaubed as mud as they got," he wrote, "or in my wiggling and clambering around jutting rocks, through cracks, and up what were really small cliff faces, just like the rest of them."
While the boys may have not found the President's behavior odd, others were less forgiving. "Theodore!" Senator Henry Cabot Lodge once exclaimed, "if you knew how ridiculous you look up in that tree, you'd come down at once!"
The challenging "Theodore Roosevelt Trail" winds its way through gorges and woodlands of Rock Creek Park, but a hiker can rest at the Jules Jusserand Memorial bench near Pierce Mill on Beach Drive. Jusserand, the French Ambassador, was like Roosevelt an avid birdwatcher. The natty Jusserand gamely followed T.R. on many excursions, writing of one occasion when they forded a creek, "I, too, for the honor of France removed my apparel, everything except my lavender kid gloves. The President cast an inquiring look at this as if they, too, must come off, but I quickly forestalled any remark by saying, 'With your permission, Mr. President, I will keep these on; otherwise it would be embarrassing if we should meet ladies.'"
Taking a drive or stroll through Rock Creek Park makes a refreshing change from the federal regularity of downtown Washington. Stop by the Nature Center off of Military Road for a guide and orientation to the park's many facilities, which include a public riding stable, the Carter Barron amphitheater, a public golf course, and a planetarium.

One of the largest and prettiest parks around is Rock Creek Park, located just off of Business Highway 52.
This lovely wooded 100-acre park offers a variety of options for visitors. You can swim, play sports, hike, play in the playground, or just kick back with a lovely picnic or bring the burgers and coal and cook up a feast for a few friends.
For walkers and joggers, this is a small slice of heaven. You can simply walk through the beautiful park and along the creek, or take off and enjoy the several trails within the park. Right near the swimming pool there is a short trail that leads through the woods, and a walking trail on past the recreation department offices. Scattered throughout the park, there are a number of small bridges that cross over the creek. This gives a very photogenic quality to the park.
There are lighted tennis courts, a softball/baseball field, climbing walls and an obstacle course to help keep you fit and trim. There is also a swimming pool during the summer months, which offers a changing room and restrooms.
There are 25 picnic benches dotted along the creeks path. Many have grills that the public may use. They are on a first come, first serve basis. There are several large tables for groups. There is also a playground for children well placed, so as to blend it with the surroundings. There is also a very picturesque church on the grounds.
During the summer months the parks and recreation departments hold a large number of things to do for the whole family. There are softball and baseball leagues, teen sports challenges, craft classes, nature classes, as well as trips to nearby attractions such as the famous Biltmore Estates.
This is truly a wonderful place to bring your kids and let them burn up all that excess energy. It is also the perfect place for walking and make sure to bring your pooch-pets are permitted on a leash. This is also another favorite place of mine and Jazzy's to exercise and enjoy nature.

This park saved my sanity in the big city. You drive in the entrance, and it's almost like you're transported 80 miles outside of the city. Very rarely can you even hear the traffic. There are lots of grassy areas great for games, lying on a blanket, or just enjoying the space and quiet.

Phobic Instinct
A Second of Thought4/20/14
An awesome lost and found thrash/core metal classic originally recorded in 1989 for the now defunct but highly praised NO REMORSE (BLIND GUARDIAN,SACROSANCT,GRINDER,) record label. Unfortunately the album couldn't see the light of the day until now. PHOBIC INSTINCT features the talent of former EXUMER now SUN DESCENDS frontman Mem Von Stein.Besides these 12 songs you'll also get very rare bonus material including TARTAROS and MAYHEM demos (pre-EXUMER stuff, not to be confused with the black metal bands from Norway).

Heat's James says SI Sportsman of the Year award is 'huge'
By Ben Golliver
LeBron James was named Sports Illustrated's 2012 Sportsman of the Year on Monday, capping off a year that saw him win his first NBA title, MVP and Finals MVP awards, and an Olympic gold medal.
His selection raised all sorts of questions. Has he lived up to the hype? Has he reached his peak? What's next? The Point Forward endeavored to provide answers to those and a few others. One obvious question we couldn't attempt to answer: How does it feel to receive one of sport's biggest honors?
James provided his reaction to the Associated Press in a Monday interview, expressing some surprise that he won the award less than three years after he announced his plans to leave the Cavaliers for the Heat on national television in 2010.
"I remember just like yesterday when I signed here and basically, like the roof caved in," James told The Associated Press, referring to the fallout from his infamous "Decision" to leave Cleveland for Miami in 2010. "To see that I and my team and everyone around me was able to patch that roof up, to come to this point, to come to this point and receive such a prestigious award, it's huge."
"Do I need it? I don't need it," James said. "I don't ever look for individual accolades. I do what I do because I love it and I want to continue to get better at it."
"Welcome to the club," Heat guard Dwyane Wade, who was Sportsman of the Year in 2006, tweeted. "We have been expecting you… Congrats to my brother from another."
James, 27, averaged 27.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.9 steals while shooting 53.1 percent for the Heat last season. He joins the following list of NBA players to be named SI Sportsman of the Year, an honor that dates back to 1954: Wade (2006), David Robinson and Tim Duncan (2003), Michael Jordan (1991), Rory Sparrow (1987, split the award with four others), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (1985) and Bill Russell (1968).

WILLIAMSBURG, Va., Jan. 18, 2014 – James Madison couldn't overcome an early barrage of 3-pointers by William & Mary despite a career night offensively by sophomore guard Andre Nation (Plant City, Fla./Faith Baptist Christian School), falling to the Tribe 78-56 in a Colonial Athletic Association men's basketball game Saturday afternoon at Kaplan Arena.
Nation scored a career-high 25 points in the loss, surpassing his previous high of 24 against Indiana in last year's NCAA Tournament. He stuffed the stat sheet, adding five rebounds, five steals and four assists. It wasn't enough as the Dukes dropped to 6-13 overall and 1-4 in the CAA
Marcus Thornton led a balanced attack by W&M with 20 points. A trio of Tribe players reached double-figures as Tim Rusthoven finished with 17 points and Brandon Britt had 12, helping the team improve to 10-6 overall and 2-1 in the conference.
W&M entered the game as the top 3-point shooting team in the conference in both percentage and 3-pointers made and it put that shooting ability on display against JMU. The Tribe finished 10-of-20 from beyond the arc, including a 7-of-12 mark in the first half on its way to a 42-24 lead.
The two teams traded runs early on, but it was JMU that initially jumped out ahead. Following two buckets inside by W&M, the Dukes went on a 10-0 run. Nation fueled the run with eight points on two 3-pointers and a fastbreak dunk, while sophomore guard Ron Curry (Pennsauken, N.J./Paul VI) chipped in with a layup.
The Tribe responded with nine straight points over a span of five minutes to take a 13-10 lead. Four different players contributed during that stretch, including Julian Boatner with a 3-pointer.
A layup by Nation and a free throw by freshman Jackson Kent (High Point, N.C./High Point Christian) tied the game at 13, but the Tribe outscored the Dukes 29-11 to close out the half.
W&M cooled off in the second half, shooting 44 percent, compared to the 71 percent clip it shot in the first half. JMU improved its shooting from 33 percent in the first half to 50 percent in the second and made a few different runs to cut into the deficit.
A three-point play by Nation with 7:55 to play and a 3-pointer by Curry got the Dukes within 14 (61-47), but that's as close as they would get as Britt and Thornton hit treys during an 8-0 run to put the Tribe back up 22 (69-47).
Curry scored 14 points for the Dukes, reaching double-digits in scoring for the 11th time this season. Graduate student Andrey Semenov (St. Petersburg, Russia/Blue Ridge School) tallied eight points.
W&M finished with a 35-24 advantage on the boards, led by nine rebounds from Terry Tarpey. Nation's five boards led the Dukes.
The Dukes played without their leading scorer, sophomore guard Charles Cooke (Trenton, N.J./Trenton Catholic), for the entire second half. Cooke, who has scored in double-figures 15 times this season, left with an injury with just under five minutes remaining in the first half.
JMU played on the road for the 15th time this season. It will play at home for just the fifth time when it hosts College of Charleston in a CAA matchup on Saturday, Jan. 25, at 2 p.m.

Calgary—although I never lived there, and I feel in my bones that Toronto and London, England are really my hometowns. Ottawa would be there somewhere as well!
Programming for the Festival since:
Desert-island films:
Le Mépris
Au hasard Balthazar
The Searchers
The Great Dictator
Your favourite Festival programmer who is not you:
Dimitri, because he has superb taste for the cinema I admire.
The strangest place you've ever watched a film:
Agnès Varda's living room, with Agnès reading the voiceover for her film as it was projected on to her wall.
What do you do for the rest of the year when you aren't programming for the Festival?
I run TIFF—so, planning, budgeting, managing growth and future projects. In my spare time I hike, ski, read, listen to music, go to concerts and travel lots.
Don't tweet—waiting for the next breakthrough.
Piers Handling is the Director and Chief Executive Officer of TIFF. He has held this position since 1994, responsible for leading both the operational and artistic growth of the organization. TIFF has a $33 million annual operating budget and employs more than 150 full-time staff. For the last three years, TIFF has been named one of the Greater Toronto Area's Top 50 employers.
Under his direction, the organization has grown to become an internationally renowned cultural institution which has just successfully opened TIFF Bell Lightbox, a permanent home for all of TIFF's year-round film programming: film screenings, an exhibitions gallery and a variety of educational and learning programmes. He led the $196 million fundraising campaign in support of this project.
Prior to joining the Toronto International Film Festival in 1982, Mr. Handling began his career at the Canadian Film Institute (CFI), ultimately becoming Deputy Director. After leaving the CFI, he taught Canadian cinema at Carleton University in Ottawa and Queen's University in Kingston. He has published extensively on Canadian cinema.
Mr. Handling is currently Chair of FAME (Festivals and Major Events), sits on the Board of the Canadian Film Centre, and is a member of the Minister of Culture's Advisory Council for Arts and Culture (MACAC). Previously he was on the Board of Tafelmusik and Luminato. He has been honoured with the "Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres", France's highest cultural insignia. In 2003, Handling was named CEO of the Year by the Canadian Public Relations Society (Toronto), recognizing for the first time, a CEO from the cultural not-for-profit sector. In 2006, he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Law from Ryerson University. In 2011, Mr. Handling was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Laws degree from York University and an Honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts from OCAD University.

Update: A Hearn quote about sackcloth and Ashes comes to mind, but I'll refrain.
Labels: Pelicans
Labels: Pelicans
[It] seems to me that we conservatives need to avoid falling into a historical revisionism that allows us to portray ourselves as passive victims of a feckless president.
[As] the last wheel comes off [the Bush] presidency, and the GOP comes to grips with what this presidency has meant for the Republican Party and the conservative movement, there will be a strong temptation to resist owning up to our own complicity. Success has a thousand fathers, after all, and failure is an orphan. This failure is not President Bush's alone. The Republican Party owns it. The conservative movement, with some exceptions, owns it....
It doesn't take much courage to stand up for conservative principle to a president as weak as this one has become. It would have taken real courage to stand up for conservative principle in 2002, 2003, 2004, even early 2005. How many did?...
It is tempting to blame Bush for everything. But it's not fair, and it's not honest. Bush is today who he always was. The difference is we conservatives pretty much loved the guy -- when he was a winner.

What an embarrassment-- and just think, this little snafu will pale in comparison to the bad press Jefferson will get when he is indicted this spring and eventually goes to trial, and damning testimony is aired, and he "honorably" refuses to heed calls for his resignation. If Dollar Bill thought his last campaign was "grueling", well, he'll have a whole new appreciation for the word after the next 18 months or so. And the media stormcloud which chronicles Jefferson's legal travails should help his district's recovery.... [Borat pause] .............. Not!
Southern Louisiana is fighting for its life, and it needs federal help to attract federal tax dollars to repair levees and wetlands on both banks. To the rest of the country, Appearance is Reality. They perceive Jefferson as corrupt. Both parties in Washington D.C. perceive him as corrupt, and expect that he will be indicted next year. The Dems have stripped him of his Ways and Means committee seat, and he is the GOP's favorite example of corruption. He was rated as the least effectual member of Congress. Jefferson is stubbornly committed to staying in office even after getting indicted-- an eventuality he expects to happen. We may see a sitting Congressman on trial; a Congressman from a region that is trying desperately to repair its corrupt reputation while it repairs its flood protection and economy. These are Meta-issues that should trump any particular "local" issues.
Yet none of these "Meta-issues" about Jefferson's reputation and future ineffectiveness seemed to matter to most West Bank voters, who were largely outside of Jefferson's "machine". I believe a decisive portion of West Bankers decided to vote for Dollar Bill because it was in Derrick Shepherd's long-term interest, or because of Karen Carter's comments in Spike Lee's film (that were widely promoted by Sheriff Harry Lee's anti-Carter mail campaign).

When the Bangladesh army intervened to abort a flawed election in this Muslim nation of 150 million in January, the U.S. and United Nations both offered tacit support for the coup.
But now the army-installed caretaker government is back-pedaling on its pledge to organize a quick, clean vote and then relinquish authority. And the once-bloodless coup is turning into something more sinister. Since January, an estimated 200,000 people, including hundreds of leading politicians and businessmen, have been jailed under emergency rules that suspend civil rights and outlaw all political activity. According to human-rights groups, scores of others, seized by the troops in the middle of the night, have been tortured to death or summarily executed.
Bangladesh's new rulers insist the crackdown is needed to reform what international watchdogs such as Transparency International have frequently ranked as the most corrupt nation on Earth....
But critics say the outcome amounts to this: With the support of the U.S. and the international community, what used to be the world's second-largest Muslim democracy, after Indonesia, has turned into the world's second-largest military regime, after Pakistan.
The pace of American troop deaths increased this weekend as 14 more servicemen were reported killed in Iraq... Twenty-one soldiers and an Iraqi interpreter were wounded.
The makeshift bomb blasts were part of a brazen series of attacks throughout the country by Sunni Arab insurgents, Shiite fighters of the Mahdi Army and other gunmen using rifles, rockets, huge bombs and chlorine canisters. ...
At least 15 American servicemen were killed in the first three days of June, a pace that exceeds the daily fatality rate in May, when 127 troops were killed. May was the deadliest month since the invasion of Falluja in November 2004.
In the northern city of Mosul, a Christian priest was gunned down as he left his church after Sunday services. In Baghdad, a director of the Iraqi Central Bank and his brother were shot to death in the dangerous neighborhood of Ameel. Thirty-one bodies were found scattered about the capital, where sectarian murders are once again on the rise.

The city's unique appreciation for the present makes life there rich indeed...
New Orleans endures as the national repository of the loose-jointed Huck Finn spirit we Americans claim to cherish. While the rest of us pare down our humanity in service to the dollar, New Orleans is a corner of America where efficiency and maximized profit are not the civic religion. As I drive past endless repetitions of Wendy's, Golden Corral, Ethan Allen furniture, Jiffy Lube, Red Lobster, and the like on my way back to Colorado, I realize that I haven't spent a dollar anyplace but locally owned business in four months. A long time ago, David Freedman, the general manager of the listener-supported radio station WWOZ, described New Orleans to me as a kind of resistance-army headquarters. "Everyplace else in America, Clear Channel has commodified our music, McDonald's has commodified our food, and Disney has commodified our fantasies," he said. "None of that has taken hold in New Orleans." In the speedy, future-oriented, hyper-productive, and globalized twenty-first century, New Orleans's refusal to sacrifice the pleasures of the moment amounts to a life style of civil disobedience.

Today, the first day of hurricane season, few dispute that the city is safer than it was before Hurricane Katrina. But as time passes and rebuilding costs mount, the idea that the federal government will provide protection from the worst of hurricanes here seems ever more remote.
After Katrina's catastrophic inundation, many declared "Never again!" With that message, Congress ordered the Army Corps of Engineers to study how to protect the city from flooding in Category 5 storms, the most devastating on the Saffir-Simpson scale. The idea still has strong political appeal.
"I believe we should order the Corps to achieve Category 5 protection over time," Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) said during a presidential campaign stop here recently.
But nearly two years after the storm, with the feasibility of protecting the city to that level under study, a project to defend the city from less-ferocious storms is proving far more expensive than anticipated. Meanwhile, the Bush administration has signaled that its commitment does not extend to Category 5 protection.
For any given year, the roughly 1-in-100 chance of a storm overcoming the defenses might sound like attractive odds.
But it is far below local expectations, for several reasons.
The 1-in-100 annual chance means that, over a lifetime, such an event is more likely to happen than not. Moreover, protection against the 100-year storm is far less than would be necessary for a Hurricane Katrina, which is considered a 400-year event, and certainly less than what could withstand a direct hit by a Category 5.
Finally the 100-year protection leaves the New Orleans area at far more risk than other well-known flood projects: The system in the Netherlands, for example, is designed to withstand a 1-in-10,000-year storm, the Herbert Hoover Dike around Lake Okeechobee in Florida is designed for a 1-in-935-year event, and the Mississippi River flood works are designed for a 1-in-800-year flood.
Not surprisingly, a recent survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation showed that 95 percent of residents here want to see Category 5 protection, even if it costs more.
In response to questions about better protection for the city, [Gulf Coast Recovery Czar Donald] Powell said the administration is "committed" to the 100-year-flood protection, and says he will support spending more money to get to that level.
But [Powell] turned aside questions about Category 5 protection, noting that extensive new studies set to be released this summer will inform residents how likely they are to be flooded when the new 100-year project is finished.
"Then they can make their decisions," he said.
Labels: D. Powell, Federal Flood, flood protection
Another trouble spot is the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Study, better known as the "Category 5" study, of alternatives for protecting all of south Louisiana from much larger hurricanes. The study is expected to include alternatives for levees and gates to block storm surge, as well as barrier island and wetlands restoration to reduce the height and strength of surge before it reaches the levees.
But [USACE General] Van Antwerp was expected to be told that the study might not be complete by the end of December as required by Congress. That's because of problems with access to a huge state-of-the-art Cray computer at the corps' Environmental Research and Development Center in Vicksburg, Miss., which also is being used for work on the risk assessment, and other Louisiana and Mississippi environmental projects.

Community Based Air Pollution Projects
Basic Information
Communities across the nation are taking an active role in improving air quality and finding solutions to other environmental concerns they face. Many communities have concerns that can range from the risks toxic air pollutants pose at a neighborhood school to addressing the effects of urban growth across a metropolitan region. In communities like these, EPA is providing financial, technical and other support for projects to resolve these health and environmental issues.
EPA supports projects across the nation to help inform and empower citizens to make local decisions concerning the health of their communities. These communities want to become involved because the projects can, in many cases, achieve environmental improvements sooner than federal regulations alone. These projects demonstrate that it is possible for communities to develop innovative, affordable approaches to improve the air, water, and other natural resources.
