Walking and cycling should be encouraged throughout the community and should become the norm for short journeys, says NICE, in draft guidance published today (24 April) for consultation.
Regular physical activity is key to achieving and maintaining good health. It can help to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes by up to 50%, and is also important for good mental health.
But we know that at present, as a nation, we are not doing enough exercise. Currently, around a third of adults in England do not even do at least half an hour of moderate physical activity per weeki. Children are also not doing adequate exercise; just over half of boys aged two to 10 years old and a third of girls in the same age group achieve the recommended level of daily physical activity. Only 7% of secondary school age boys do an hour's moderate physical activity each day. Girls in the same age group do not even achieve this.ii, iii.
Walking is the most common recreational and sporting activity undertaken by adults in Britain, with cycling the fourth most commoniv. The average time spent travelling on foot or by bicycle has decreased; from 12.9 minutes per day in 1995/97 to 11 minutes per day in 2007v. Cycle use is lower in Britain than it is in other European Union countries; bicycles are used in around 2% of journeys in Britain compared with about 26% of journeys in the Netherlands, 19% in Denmark and 5% in Francevi.
Increasing levels of walking and cycle use can bring health benefits as well as a reduction in car travel, which in turn reduces air pollution, road dangers, noise and congestion.
The draft guidance recommends that commissioners, managers and practitioners working within local authorities, the NHS and the wider public, private, voluntary and community sectors working on physical activity, the environment and transport planning should take coordinated action to support and encourage people to walk or cycle (for transport or for recreation). This includes:
- Ensuring local, high-level strategic policies and plans support both walking and cycling. This includes a commitment to invest sufficient resources to ensure more walking and cycling.
- Ensuring walking and cycling are considered alongside other interventions when aiming to achieve specific outcomes in relation to the local population's health (such as a reduction in the risk of cardiovascular disease or diabetes).
Implementing town/city/suburban - wide programmes to promote cycling, this could include
- providing information, including maps and route signing.
- fun rides, car-free events or days, virtual cycle races and links with cycle sports events.
- cycle hire schemes.
- cycle training and maintenance classes or sessions.
- activities and campaigns to emphasise the benefits of cycling (including benefits to health, reliability and ease of access to local facilities and services).
- Developing and implementing school travel plans that encourage all children to walk or cycle all or part of the way to school.
The guidance emphasises that encouraging and enabling people to walk or cycle, for transport or as recreation, requires action on many fronts, and from a range of different sectors.
Professor Mike Kelly, Director of the Centre for Public Health Excellence at NICE said: "Lack of physical activity is contributing to a wide range of health problems in England, so it is important that there is comprehensive, evidence-based guidance in place that can help address these issues. Increasing the amount of time people walk and cycle can have a positive impact on health, the environment and the economy. We want to encourage people to walk or cycle for any local journey that really doesn't need the car, and also to get out in the fresh air and walk or cycle for fun. Our draft recommendations are aimed at making it easier for people to walk and cycle, as well as explaining the benefits of doing so and helping to address some of the safety fears that some people may have. I would now urge all those stakeholders with an interest in this guidance to submit their comments via the NICE website."
The draft guidance is available on the NICE website from Tuesday 24 April
These is not NICE's final guidance on walking and cycling. The recommendations are provisional and may change after consultation with stakeholders.

About NICE
1. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is the independent organisation responsible for providing national guidance and standards on the promotion of good health and the prevention and treatment of ill health.
2. NICE produces guidance in three areas of health:
- public health - guidance on the promotion of good health and the prevention of ill health for those working in the NHS, local authorities and the wider public and voluntary sector
- health technologies - guidance on the use of new and existing medicines, treatments, medical technologies (including devices and diagnostics) and procedures within the NHS
- clinical practice - guidance on the appropriate treatment and care of people with specific diseases and conditions within the NHS.
3. NICE produces standards for patient care:
- quality standards - these reflect the very best in high quality patient care, to help healthcare practitioners and commissioners of care deliver excellent services
- Quality and Outcomes Framework - NICE develops the clinical and health improvement indicators in the QOF, the Department of Health scheme which rewards GPs for how well they care for patients.
4. NICEprovides advice and support on putting NICE guidance and standards into practice through its implementation programme, and it collates and accredits high quality health guidance, research and information to help health professionals deliver the best patient care through NHS Evidence.

Two Gardnerville men were arrested Thursday, accused of the attempted burglary of a convenience store, a laundromat burglary, and five vehicle break-ins.
Sheriff Ron Pierini said Angel Razo-Ortega, 25, and Tanner Cooper, 21, were in Douglas County Jail on $75,000 bail each.
Both are charged with attempted robbery, burglary and conspiracy.
On Aug. 9, Pierini said, Razo-Ortega fled from the Sierra Market in Gardnerville after being thwarted by a clerk who refused to give him any money.
He reportedly entered the store, produced a BB handgun, and demanded the clerk fill a bag with money.

Robotic Thoracic Surgery
Our Physicians
University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics in Madison, Wisconsin offers robotic-assisted thoracic procedures as an alternative to conventional, open surgeries. The benefits of robotic surgery are numerous, and patients avoid the blood loss, pain and scarring that typically corresponds with a traditional thoracic procedure.
With the use of the da Vinci® System, thymectomies and other potentially traumatic procedures can be performed through one to two cm incisions, without spreading or cutting the breastbone or ribs, thereby minimizing many of the uncomfortable drawbacks of surgery.
Studies suggest that this less invasive approach can greatly reduce recovery time, pain and trauma associated with thoracic surgery.
For most patients, minimally invasive thoracic procedures performed with the da Vinci Surgical System can offer numerous potential benefits over open-chest surgery, including:
- Shorter hospital stay
- Less pain and scarring
- Less risk of infection
- Less blood loss and fewer transfusions
- Faster recovery
- Quicker return to normal activities
UW Hospital and Clinics offers robotic thoracic procedures for the following conditions:
- Myasthenia Gravis (MG) (Thymectomy) | Thymectomy Surgeons
- Cancer of the Esophagus (Esophagectomy)
- Laparoscopic Heller Myotomy | Heller Myotomy Surgeons
- Giant Paraesophageal Hernia Repair | Paraesophageal Hernia Surgeons
- Thoracoscopic Thymectomy
- Thoracoscopic Esophageal Leiomyoma Resection
- Esophageal and Bronchogenic Cyst Excision
- Thoracoscopic Mediastinal Mass Excision | Mediastinal Mass Excision Surgeons

Rebellion and Repression on the Arabian Peninsula
Fred Lawson, Mills College
Published: Monday, May 14, 2012
Spectacular mass movements have emerged in Bahrain and Yemen to challenge the political order on the Arabian Peninsula. What background conditions—political, economic, religious and ideological—lay behind these protests? How have they evolved, and what has limited their success? To what extent have ethnic/tribal and confessional divisions shaped these struggles, and the responses to them by the ruling elites? The Saudi regime has moved time and again to defend the status quo in the Gulf. How should we understand that regime's socio-political character and its interests, domestically and internationally? What part has been played by the United States? What has been the place of oil? These are some of the fundamental issues that our presenters will address in assessing the development and likely future of these centrally important revolutions.
Fred Lawson is the chair of the Department of Government at Mills College. He is the author, among other works, of Constructing International Relations in the Arab World (2006) and Bahrain: Modernization of Autocracy (1

News Ellen McCulloch-Lovell Selected for College Presidents' Leadership Coalition
Marlboro, VT – (October 1, 2008) – Marlboro's Ellen McCulloch-Lovell was one of 45 university and college presidents selected to be part of a national Leadership Coalition formed by the Bringing Theory to Practice Project.
The initial activity of the Coalition will be a President's Symposium, to be held in Washington, DC, November 10-11, 2008. The objective in forming the Coalition is to encourage and support those institutions which are committed to providing successful models of how a campus culture focused on actively engaging students in learning, and evaluating their success in doing so, can address the full dimensions of the intellectual, emotional, and civic flourishing of students.
"I'm convinced Marlboro College has an important role to play in the arena of higher education because of our emphasis on the student, on teaching and on participation in a democratic community," says McCulloch-Lovell.
With the generous support of the S. Engelhard Center, the Charles Engelhard Foundation, the Christian A. Johnson Endeavor Foundation, and the Lumina Foundation, the Bringing Theory to Practice Project, an independent project in partnership with the Association of American Colleges and Universities, sought applications and plans from interested institutions of all types offering baccalaureate degrees. From those applications, it has selected and will offer grant support to the selected colleges and universities.
McCulloch-Lovell was also part of a President's Leadership Council sponsored by the New York Times and the Chronicle of Higher Education, recently convened in New York City to advise on the role the media takes in educating students. The new council includes more than 40 presidents of colleges and universities, representing the diversity of American higher education – liberal arts, professional studies, religious schools and historically black colleges.
McCulloch-Lovell was appointed as president of Marlboro College in 2004. From 1994-2001, she served in the Clinton administration as executive director of the President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities, deputy chief of staff to the first lady, and deputy assistant to the president and advisor to the first lady on the Millennium Project.
A graduate of Bennington College, McCulloch-Lovell has strong ties to Vermont: she was chief of staff to U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) from 1983 to 1994. As executive director of the Vermont Arts Council (1975 to 1983), she was co-creator of the Governor's Institutes, a program that gives high school students the opportunity to work with artists, scientists and international experts in summer institutes, now in its 25th year.
For more information, please contact the Marlboro College Public Relations office at 802-251-7644 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Marlboro College offers undergraduate education in the liberal arts and, since 1997, graduate study focused on Internet technologies. Its 330 undergraduate students enjoy an 8:1 student-faculty ratio, a voice in governing the community and individualized courses of study on a 300 acre campus in the hills of southern Vermont.

Film Synopsis:
The Bourne Legacy pulls back the curtain on a government secret even darker than Jason Bourne. When Bourne exposes Operation Treadstone at the end of The Bourne Ultimatum, he sparks a bonfire that threatens to burn down decades of research and development into the building of better spies and warriors. In The Bourne Legacy, audiences discover that there are actually a variety of covert intelligence programs – all of which now feel the threat of exposure. On the verge of having their conspiracy revealed, members of the government's intelligence community will stop at nothing to erase all evidence of their top secret programs. With his life in jeopardy, agent Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner) must use his genetically-engineered skills to survive the ultimate game of cat-and-mouse and finish what Jason Bourne started.
My Take:
I am most decidedly a fan of The Bourne film series and while I didn't get out to see The Bourne Legacy during its theatrical release I very much looked forward to seeing it. Twelve years ago, we met Jason Bourne when he was pulled unconscious from the Mediterranean. Over the course of three films, we followed his journey to survive as he worked to discover his identity. Simultaneously his CIA handlers mounted an increasingly desperate worldwide manhunt as the secrets about the Treadstone program and Bourne's special skills and abilities, came to light culminating in trilogy's conclusion.
The Bourne Legacy pulls back the curtain to expose a darker layer of intrigue, a deeper mythology, and introduces a new hero who must battle to stay alive when HIS program suddenly becomes a liability. Running concurrent with the events that transpired in The Bourne Ultimatum Legacy reveals that there are actually a variety of intelligence programs, that the CIA's Treadstone was but one of the early developments and that Bourne's actions created a tremendous anxiety that other programs may be exposed.
Retired Colonel Eric Byer, (Edward Norton) is the man who's built these programs, fought to keep them funded and shopped them to a variety of eager U.S. intelligence services since 9/11. As it turns out he has been there along and it's his world that's being threatened as the CIA fails to contain Bourne and, with the realization that Treadstone's fall will expose the close working relationship between two of his chief medical directors, Byer has no choice but to sacrifice Outcome. He must now bring to bear every resource possible and erase the infected program to preserve the rest of his work.
Aaron Cross (JEREMY RENNER) is one of six agents in a program called Outcome. Unlike the CIA's Treadstone, Outcome agents have been developed and trained for use by the Department of Defense. More than assassins, Outcome agents are designed for use in isolated, high-risk, long-term intelligence assignments. The behavioral science that was suggested as the underpinning of the Treadstone agents has been upgraded and advanced. Their cognitive lift makes for a more adaptive and provocative skillset, however it also holds a great danger: The Outcome agents have proven difficult to control, and Cross, once cut free of the leash, makes for an even more dangerous threat to his creators.
Dr. Marta Shearing, (Rachel Weisz) is a research scientist with top-security clearance working in the laboratory responsible for developing the groundbreaking science Outcome. Her job includes monitoring the Outcome agents on the rare occasion that they pass through the area. She knows many of the Outcome agents, including Aaron. More interested in the science rather than the ethics associated with it Marta soon discovers that when the program needs to be terminated she may just be a loose end.
With his life on the line Aaron seeks out Dr. Shearing in search of the medications required to sustain his "abilities". Together and on the run they fight to stay alive as the world around them closes in.
The Bourne Legacy has much the same feel as the first three films. The action is what you would expect and includes the requisite hand to hand encounters, weapons play and a pair of chases all of which differ little from previous installments. Depending on your point of view this isn't necessarily a bad thing but there is no denying the feeling of been there and done that. It lacks the depth and compelling nature of its predecessors but it's clearly not a throw away popcorn flick. The storyline is developed well enough and opens up avenues for further exploration and the production elements are top notch.
Jeremy Renner is a bonafide action star that easily stepped into the role of Aaron. He didn't display the varied range of Matt Damon's Jason Bourne but he pulled this off nicely and shared solid chemistry with the always reliable Rachel Weisz. The production elements are top notch which adds an enriching element to the proceedings. The conclusion leaves the door wide open for another installment so we'll see where it goes. For now The Bourne Legacy succeeds more than fails and primarily carries on in the Bourne tradition.

The Bourne Legacy comes to Blu-ray Disc from Universal Studios Home Entertainment featuring 1080p AVC encoded video that has an average bitrate of 25 Mbps and lossless DTS-HD 7.1 Master Audio sound that has an average bitrate of 4.1 Mbps.
This is an excellent video presentation that boasts plenty of high level detail, strong contrast, deeply saturated colors, and three dimensional acuity. Blacks are punchy and stand out when onscreen with mixed content. Visual perspective in low lighting and darkened areas is estimable. The combination gives dark scenes appreciable depth. Images are dynamic, boldly colorful, clearly drawn, and perfectly suited for the source material.
The lossless 7.1 DTS-HD MA soundtrack has extended dynamic range, detail rich clarity and makes excellent use of the entire surround platform to drive the film's elements. The music score, coupled along with the integration of discrete and ambient sound effects, plays an intricate role in this involving and engagingly active surround mix. The detection of subtle background sounds, off camera cues and spatial dimension within the room's acoustic environment makes for a notably enveloping surround experience. Low frequency effects can be room energizing as the subwoofer works in tandem with the rest of the system to convey the low level bass and dynamic impact associated with the action based sequences. Dialogue is firmly planted in the center channel and clearly renders voices and effects with appropriate distinction and balance within the front soundstage. I thought this audio presentation enhanced the enjoyment of the film and makes for an entertaining home theater experience.
Bonus Features:
- Audio commentary by Director/co-writer Tony Gilroy, co-writer Dan Gilroy, editor John Gilroy, director of photography Robert Elswit, second unit director Dan Bradley and production designer Kevin Thompson

Final Thoughts:
The Bourne Legacy borrows much from its predecessors and while it doesn't quite live up to them still has enough merit to warrant the attention of Bourne series fans. I enjoyed it and look forward to what lies in store for the next installment should there be one. The Bourne Legacy comes to Blu-ray Disc from Universal Studios Home Entertainment featuring sparkling high definition video, reference quality DTS-HD Master Audio surround sound and a decent supplemental offering that includes Blu-ray exclusive content. This is worth picking up if you're already a fan otherwise give it a rent before buying.

The government is to unveil controversial plans to make publicly funded scientific research immediately available for anyone to read for free by 2014, in the most radical shakeup of academic publishing since the invention of the internet.
Under the scheme, research papers that describe work paid for by the British taxpayer will be free online for universities, companies and individuals to use for any purpose, wherever they are in the world.
In an interview with the Guardian before Monday's announcement David Willetts, the universities and science minister, said he expected a full transformation to the open approach over the next two years.
The move reflects a groundswell of support for "open access" publishing among academics who have long protested that journal publishers make large profits by locking research behind online paywalls. "If the taxpayer has paid for this research to happen, that work shouldn't be put behind a paywall before a British citizen can read it," Willetts said.
"This will take time to build up, but within a couple of years we should see this fully feeding through."
He said he thought there would be "massive" economic benefits to making research open to everyone.
Though many academics will welcome the announcement, some scientists contacted by the Guardian were dismayed that the cost of the transition, which could reach £50m a year, must be covered by the existing science budget and that no new money would be found to fund the process. That could lead to less research and fewer valuable papers being published.

Gloria Steinem is a feminist activist, a journalist, and the founder of Ms. Magazine. She is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, and sits on the Advisory Board of Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting.
Steinem was born in Toledo, Ohio on March 25, 1934. She spent the early part of her life on the East Side of that city, which she once referred to as a pathologically violent and racist place where white citizens actively looked for blacks to assault. Her father abandoned the family in 1944, and for the next seven years Gloria took care of her emotionally disturbed mother and attended school only irregularly.
Steinem entered Smith College in 1952; she worked for Democrat Adlai Stevenson's presidential campaign that year.
After graduating from Smith, Steinem moved to England, where she became pregnant. Abortion was at that time illegal in England except in cases where the pregnancy was considered a health risk to the mother. Steinem was able to locate a sufficiently unprincipled physician who made that determination in her case, and she had an abortion.
Steinem then spent two years in India on a Chester Bowles Asian Fellowship. During this period she researched and wrote her first book, A Thousand Indias, a guidebook for the Indian government.
After returning to the United States, Steinem worked for the Independent Research Service, a group that financed trips by American students to Soviet-backed World Youth Festivals. She also worked as an assistant editor of Help! magazine and began freelancing for other journals as well.
Steinem remained active as a freelancer for the next several years; she wrote articles on birth control and a profile of Jackie Kennedy for Esquire. In 1968 she joined the staff of the nascent New York magazine, writing the "City Politic" column. She was an early supporter of leftists like Cesar Chavez, John Lindsay, and George McGovern.
In 1971 Steinem co-founded -- along with Eleanor Smeal, Bella Abzug, Shirley Chisholm, and Betty Friedan -- the National Women's Political Caucus.
In 1972 Steinem created the American feminist magazine Ms. That same year, she founded -- along with Patricia Carbine, Marlo Thomas, and Letty Cottin Pogrebin -- the Ms. Foundation for Women.
In 1974 Steinem co-founded the Coalition of Labor Union Women, whose mission is "to promote affirmative action in the workplace; to strengthen the role of women in unions; to organize the unorganized women; and to increase the involvement of women in the political and legislative process."
Until the demise of Ms. magazine in 1987 (it would re-emerge in 1991), Steinem wrote extensively on women's rights issues, invariably in favor of abortion-on-demand, in support of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), and in sharp criticism of marriage and the traditional family. (She declared that traditional marriage was a form of imprisonment for women.)
Steinem's influence waned with the collapse of Ms., and when the magazine was reborn Steinem was only a consulting editor.
Steinem withdrew further from the public spotlight in the 1990s after she was diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia.
In the midst of the Bill Clinton sex scandals of the 1990s, Steinem wrote in the op-ed section of the New York Times that the President could not be accused of having sexually harassed women during his political career, because, Steinem reasoned, he "took no for an answer."
In 1995 Steinem was a signatory to a New York Times ad voicing support for the convicted cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal, a former Black Panther. Other notables who signed the letter included Noam Chomsky, Roger Ebert, Mike Farrell, Danny Glover, bell Hooks, Spike Lee, Michael Moore, Charles Rangel, Susan Sarandon, Norman Mailer, and Cornel West.
Five years later, Steinem endorsed the "Emergency National Conference to Save Mumia Abu Jamal," organized by the Center for Constitutional Rights. Among the co-endorsers of this initiative were the American Friends Service Committee, Amnesty International, the International Action Center, the National Council of Churches, the National Lawyers Guild, Refuse and Resist, the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, Z Magazine, the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty, Ossie Davis, Ramsey Clark, Susan Sarandon, Al Sharpton, Howard Zinn, Ed Asner, and Desmond Tutu.
Eight days after 9/11, Steinem lent her name to a statement titled "Justice not Vengeance," which said that "a military response [by the U.S.] would not end the terror" but rather "would spark a cycle of escalating violence," and that bringing the perptrators "to justice under the rule of law -- not military action -- is the way to end the violence." Other notable signatories included Mike Farrell, Danny Glover, Randy Hayes, Michael Klare, Michael Lerner, Bonnie Raitt, Michael Ratner, Edward Said, Martin Sheen, Harry Belafonte, John Cavanagh, Medea Benjamin, Barbara Ehrenreich, Margaret Gage, Cora Weiss, Ruby Dee, and Ossie Davis.
In a 2002 appearance at the YWCA of Palm Beach, Steinem blamed "white male patriarchy" for the Catholic Church's pedophilia scandals and the 9/11 attacks. She also drew a comparison between the Church and Adolph Hitler, claiming that both were products of strong patriarchal structures. In fact, according to Steinem, "the cult of masculinity is the basis of every violent regime," and she urged that boys be raised more like girls.
Also in 2002, Steinem was a signatory to the "Statement of Conscience" crafted by Not In Our Name, a project of C. Clark Kissinger's Revolutionary Communist Party. This document condemned not only the Bush administration's "stark new measures of repression," but also its "unjust, immoral, illegitimate, [and] openly imperial policy towards the world."
In 2004 Steinem supported Democrat presidential candidate John Kerry and was a signatory to a "Pledge of Action to Stop a Stolen Election." "I remember the stolen presidential election of 2000," the statement said, "and I am willing to take action [by protesting] in 2004 if the election is stolen again." Other signers included Medea Benjamin, Julian Bond, Leslie Cagan, Barbara Ehrenreich, Jesse Jackson, Michael Lerner, Barbara Lubin, Michael Moore, Eleanor Smeal, and Howard Zinn. This "Pledge" campaign was a joint project of United for Peace & Justice, Global Exchange, Code Pink, and The Liberty Tree Foundation for the Democratic Revolution.
In July 2005, Steinem joined a coalition that included individuals and organizations such as Eve Ensler, Code Pink, Not In Our Name, the Center for Constitutional Rights, United For Peace and Justice, and the Culture Project, who together demanded the closure of the Guantánamo Bay prison camp and an "immediate independent investigation into the widespread allegations of abuse taking place there."
Steinem also has weighed in on the Middle East conflict, lending her name to an online petition titled "A Call to Bring the Settlers Home to Israel," which asks the U.S. government "to provide generous foreign assistance" and financial incentives to those Israeli settlers willing to evacuate settlements in the Occupied Territories. Drafted by the Jewish Alliance for Justice and Peace, the petition -- which was also signed by such notables as Eric Alterman, Gordon Fellman, Ed Asner, Morton Halperin, Stanley Hoffman, Michael Lerner, and Eli Pariser -- calls for $3 billion in cash incentives to be given to 16,000 settler families as a payoff for moving back inside Israel's pre-1967 border.
In January 2008, Steinem penned an op-ed for the New York Times supporting Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign and claiming that "gender is probably the most restricting force in American life."
Campaigning on behalf of Mrs. Clinton in March 2008, Steinem used the topic of Republican candidate John McCain's Vietnam War-era imprisonment as a springboard for charging that the American media were guilty of gender-based bias against Mrs. Clinton. Said Steinem: "Suppose John McCain had been Joan McCain and Joan McCain had got captured, shot down and been a POW for eight years. [The media would ask], 'What did you do wrong to get captured? What terrible things did you do while you were there as a captive for eight years?'"
Asserting that the media were too eager to fawn over not only McCain's military background, but militarism generally, Steinem said:
"I am so grateful that she [Mrs. Clinton] hasn't been trained to kill anybody. And she probably didn't even play war games as a kid. It's a great relief from Bush in his jump suit and from [John] Kerry saluting." Steinem added that "from George Washington to Jack Kennedy and PT-109 we [Americans] have behaved as if killing people is a qualification for ruling people."
Stating that she "would like very much to see [Barack Obama] be President for eight years after Hillary has been President for eight years," Steinem said that "a majority of Americans want redemption for racism, for our terrible destructive racist past and so see a vote for Obama as redemptive. I don't think as many want redemption for the gynocide" [America's alleged mass killing of women]. "They [Americans] acknowledge racism -- not enough, but somewhat," added Steinem. "They would probably be less likely to acknowledge that the most likely way [for] a pregnant woman … to die is murder from her male partner. There are six million female lives lost in the world every year simply because they are female."
In June 2008, after Mrs. Clinton had been defeated by Obama in the Democratic primaries, Steinem stated: "I never thought that a progressive woman could win the top spot in my lifetime, and I never thought she could win, which was all the more reason it was important to support her. We [Americans] have a very bad record in this regard."
That same week, Steinem announced her endorsement of Barack Obama for the presidency.
Steinem has authored such books as a biography of Marilyn Monroe titled Marilyn: Norma Jean (1986); Revolution from Within: A Book of Self-Esteem (1993); Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions (1995); and Moving Beyond Words: Age, Race, Sex, Power, Money, Muscles: Breaking the Boundaries of Gender (1995).
Between 1979 and 2008, Steinem made close to $50,000 in political contributions. Some three-fourths of this went to Democrat candidates for public office, and one-fourth went to leftwing special-interest groups. Among the recipients of Steinem's donations were Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Jim McGovern, Bill Clinton, Cynthia McKinney, Nydia Velazquez, Eleanor Holmes Norton, Jesse Jackson, the Progressive Politics Network, Voters for Choice, and the National Organization for Women PAC.
In November 2013, Steinem was presented with a Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama. Speaking at the National Press Club in Washington, DC shortly before receiving the award, she expressed her reverence the work of the late Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood:
"I hope this [award] is retroactive in honoring the work of Margaret Sanger. I hope that she would celebrate this recognition that reproductive freedom is a human right at least as crucial as freedom of speech and that no government should dictate whether or when we have children."
Also in her Press Club remarks, Steinem praised President Obama for his unrivaled understanding of the importance of "reproductive freedom." "There's no president in history from whose hand I would be more honored to receive this medal," Steinem said.
Some noteworthy statements Steinem has made over the years include the following:

She has written and directed several grants and has over a decade of experience teaching Chemistry at the high school level in the United States, and Munich, Germany. Dr. Benton-Borghi has lived and traveled around the United States and the world. She has climbed Mt. Fuji, and taught English to Japanese business professionals in Japan. She holds a B.A. in Chemistry from Massachusetts State College at North Adams (now called Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts); an M.Ed. in Secondary Education from Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts; an M.A. Education Policy and Leadership in the College of Education from The Ohio State University; and a Ph.D. Education Policy and Leadership in the College of Education and Human Ecology from The Ohio State University.
One major area of her expertise and research is the integration of technology to teach every student, using Universal Design for Learning, UDL. Dr. Benton-Borghi also developed a Market Model for an accessible, universally designed, digital P-12 library, which was recognized by the House of Representatives in the state of Ohio in 2002. The Kathryn Borghi Digital Library is being implemented in the New Albany Plain Local School District and the Upper Arlington City School District, to honor the memory of her daughter, Kathryn.
Another area of expertise and research is teacher efficacy for inclusion of students with disabilities in the regular education classroom. Dr. Benton-Borghi (2006) developed two new teacher efficacy scales: Teachers Sense of Inclusion Efficacy, I-TSES, and the Collective Inclusion Efficacy Scale based on the Ohio State Teacher Efficacy Scale/Teachers Sense of Efficacy (Tschannen-Moran and Hoy, 2002). These new scales are published in Benton-Borghi, B. H. (2006). Teaching Every Student in the 21st Century: Teacher Efficacy and Technology. Dissertation Abstracts. Section A, Volume Issue 67-07. Publisher: Proquest Information and Learning. She has collaborated with Dr. Robert Hite, Ohio State University, and others, using the new Teachers Sense of Inclusion Efficacy and Collective Inclusion Efficacy scales.

FTC v. Wyndham Worldwide: The Limits FTC "Unfairness" Authority and the Future of Cyber and Data Security Enforcement
Telecommunications & Electronic Media Practice Group Teleforum
April 21, 2014
Between 2008 and 2010, cyber criminals breached the computer networks of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, stealing customer payment card data and initiating a legal battle with the Federal Trade Commission. The FTC claimed that Wyndham's allegedly lax security practices violated Section 5(a) of the FTC Act, prohibiting "unfair or deceptive acts or practices." Wyndham countered with a motion to dismiss, asserting, among other things, that the FTC's "unfairness" authority does not confer jurisdiction over data security, particularly in the absence of binding FTC rules or guidance.
The first round of the battle has now ended in favor of the FTC. On April 7, 2014, the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey denied Wyndham's motion to dismiss and affirmed FTC jurisdiction.
What happens now and where should the private sector attention be focused? In the absence of clear rules or guidance, how should companies proceed? How does FTC enforcement interact with congressional efforts to clarify agency authority over data security, and Executive Branch action on cyber?

Is "False" Political Speech Protected? - Susan B. Anthony List v. Driehaus
Criminal Law & Procedure and Free Speech & Election Law Practice Groups Courthouse Steps Teleforum
April 22, 2014
On Tuesday, April 22, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Susan B. Anthony List v. Driehaus. The Court will answer the following questions: (1) Whether, to challenge a speech-suppressive law, a party whose speech is arguably proscribed must prove that authorities would certainly and successfully prosecute him, as the Sixth Circuit holds, or should the court presume that a credible threat of prosecution exists absent desuetude or a firm commitment by prosecutors not to enforce the law, as seven other Circuits hold; and (2) whether the Sixth Circuit erred by holding, in direct conflict with the Eighth Circuit, that state laws proscribing "false" political speech are not subject to pre-enforcement First Amendment review so long as the speaker maintains that its speech is true, even if others who enforce the law manifestly disagree. Our expert will attend the oral arguments and offer his impressions to a call-in audience.

Product Description
Mintage of only 25,000 coins!
This sterling Silver coin from Belarus has been oxidized to give it a unique antique look. The design is full of intricate detail that makes it seem as though it has been carefully hand-carved. The obverse of this Silver coin features a circle consisting of all 12 signs of the Zodiac , a stylized version of the sun and moon with the astrological sign of Scorpio below, and the inscriptions for "Scorpio" in Latin and in the Belarusian language at the top. At the top center of the obverse is the State Coat of Arms of the Republic of Belarus, while beneath the Zodiac circle is the year of issue and alloy standard. Inscriptions along the rim include "Republic of Belarus" and the face value of 20 roubles.
Featured on the coin's reverse is a Scorpion (the symbol of Scorpio) with an inset of magenta zircon crystal. Surrounding the Scorpion is a geometric ornament.
Scorpios (October 23 - November 21), the eighth Sign of the Zodiac, who want to survive against all opposition. Passion, desire and power go hand in hand for Scorpios. As children, Scorpios are often found to be wise beyond their years. Each coin comes encapsulated and with a Certificate of Authenticity from the Mint of Poland.

Quality Bicycle Products (QBP) and the University of Minnesota have announced a new program to encourage the launch of green entrepreneurial ventures by University students. Through the "Purpose AND Profit" program, QBP will provide seed funding to new student-owned ventures that incorporate sustainable business practices AND environmental stewardship, community service, or biking advocacy. The program will be managed by the Gary S. Holmes Center for Entrepreneurship at the Carlson School of Management.
Grants of up to $5,000 will be available to current University of Minnesota students seeking to launch a business through the Holmes Center's Business Hatchery program. In addition to this new seed funding opportunity, students participating in the Business Hatchery receive legal and accounting advisory services, and mentoring from alumni and other volunteer supporters in the entrepreneurial business community.
"QBP is a great role model for this program--an extremely well-run business that also makes a tremendous impact on our community and the environment," said John Stavig, professional director of the Gary S. Holmes Center for Entrepreneurship. "We're optimistic that these funds will encourage our students to apply their entrepreneurship education and make a difference in the world."
Headed by University of Minnesota alumnus Steve Flagg, QBP has grown into the largest parts and accessories distributor in the bicycle industry, serving more than 5,000 dealers nationwide. QBP is a values-centered organization where employees can achieve personal growth and work for a socially responsible business: QBP donates six percent of after-tax profits each year. Protecting the environment is part of the company's mission --its 135,000 square-foot LEED-certified office has one of the largest solar installations in Minnesota. "I am a huge believer in the principle of AND," noted Flagg. "We hope that these funds will inspire students to build great companies AND make a positive difference for their community and the environment."
Business Hatchery alums include Parag Shah, founder of Lunchbox, Joe Mullenbach and Alex Johansson, co-founders of NewWater, and Bright New Ideas founder Patrick Delaney.
University students interested in the Business Hatchery and "Purpose AND Profit" programs are encouraged to visit the Holmes Center website or contact John Stavig.
