Missouri State University encourages all students to participate in the Study Away program. Students who request academic accommodations for Study Away must follow the policy and procedure for academic accommodations on the Missouri State campus. This information may be found on-line at www.missouristate.edu/disability/. It is recommended that students needing accommodations plan well in advance, notify and work with the Disability Resource Center, the Study Away program, and the prospective international institution. Please note that all requests for services and accommodations must be supported by the documentation on file and seem reasonable and appropriate within the limits set forth by state and federal law and University policy. The accommodations cannot fundamentally alter the nature of a course or program of study, or present an undue hardship for either Missouri State or the host institution.
The United States of America is a world leader when it comes to providing equal access to people with disabilities. Although many countries are becoming more aware of the needs of people with disabilities, not all countries have similar laws and accessible infrastructure/services. Consequently, the following are recommendations for students to consider when contemplating studying abroad:
The Disability Resource Center and the Study Away program will work collaboratively on the above recommendations with the student and facilitate accommodation options.
If you wish to appeal the accommodation determination for the Study Away program, you are welcome to contact the Office for Institutional Equity and Compliance at Missouri State University, at 417-836-4252, to file a grievance.
For a full statement of policies and procedures, the rights and responsibilities of students with disabilities, and the rights and responsibilities of the university and its faculty, see www.missouristate.edu/disability.

At the peak of the transatlantic slave trade, 80,000 slaves were transported from Africa to the new world. Now, New York Times human rights columnist Nicholas Kristof reports that more than 10 times as many women and girls are being forced into brothels or other forms of slavery.
In their new book, Half the Sky, Nicholas and his wife, Sheryl WuDunn, investigate the causes and the very achievable solutions to putting an end to this form of modern-day slavery. "If you begin to think of your own child not in middle school, but being locked up in a brothel, then it suddenly becomes pretty real," he says. Children like Long Pross, kidnapped from her Cambodian village at age 13, are forced into a terrifying world of prostitution. She had not yet had sex or her first period. "The fear was overwhelming," she says. "In a room they tied your hands, and outside there was a guard. If you resisted, they electrocuted you. Sometimes they electrocuted me twice a day if I argued too much." |

< Return To Hearing
The Honorable Bradley SkolnikJune 19, 2002 Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee, I'm Brad Skolnik, Indiana Securities Commissioner and Chairman of the Enforcement Section for the North American Securities Administrators Association, Inc. (NASAA).1 I commend you for holding this hearing, and thank you for the opportunity to appear today to present our views on Penalties for White Collar Crime. The securities administrator in your state is responsible for the licensing of investment professionals and securities offerings, investor education and, most importantly, the enforcement of state and federal securities laws. We have been called the "local cops on the beat," and I believe that is an accurate characterization. Our country has undergone a historic transformation. In the past generation we have become a nation of stockholders - half of all households are invested in the stock market. State securities regulators have an increased responsibility to make sure that Wall Street is a safe street for Main Street investors. Congress, regulators and the industry must act to restore confidence in the integrity of our markets and to hold those who defraud investors accountable for their crimes. Investor education is an effective crime prevention tool but the strongest deterrent to crime, I believe is criminal prosecution and prison time. Prosecutors, juries and the media understand street crime like robbery, assault and murder. Somehow securities fraud seems sanitized, bloodless, technical. Many people, including some in law enforcement, view securities fraud as an essentially victimless crime that involves as much gullibility on the part of the victim as it does culpability on the part of the perpetrator. But we know white collar crimes aren't victimless crimes. Just like street crime, securities fraud ruins lives, destroys families, steals hopes and kills dreams. To protect investors, we need to make better use of the laws already on the books. This means bringing more criminal actions against white-collar crooks. States securities regulators obtain an average of 300 convictions a year, but we need to obtain more, many more. The truth is, most investment scams are nothing other than sophisticated criminal enterprises. They need to be treated as such. One problem is, securities cases are complex, costly and time-consuming - deterrents to law enforcement agencies with limited personnel and budgets. The truth is some prosecutors shy away from them because the subject is complicated and difficult to understand. But from my perspective as a state securities regulator, white-collar criminals who commit securities fraud deserve prison time just like thieves, muggers and murderers. There are other reasons why so many cases end up being handled administratively or civilly. A prosecutor's willingness to undertake a complicated and technical securities case depends on other cases competing for attention. Murders, terrorism, and drug-related crimes are sometimes easier to argue to a jury and don't require the vast amount of staffing often required for a criminal prosecution of a securities case. There are some ways where my colleagues can help. State securities regulators can, and do, provide resources to prosecutors to assist with the investigation and prosecution of these cases. We can develop cases fully and hand them over to prosecutors, reducing this burden substantially. We all need to make the extra effort to bring criminal cases to right wrongs and ensure justice is done, but also to send a message. Too many crooks think they can get away with securities fraud and frankly, too many get off easy. Someone steals your car, they go to prison; some con artist steals the money your parents needed for retirement, they get fined. That's just not right. NASAA believes educating juries is another key to getting convictions in securities fraud cases. We have distributed updated model jury instructions to our membership and have posted them on our web site at www.nasaa.org. In addition, we have sent these model jury instructions to prosecuting attorneys across the country as well as other law enforcement organizations. There is another way we are bringing this issue to the attention of our membership. Every year NASAA hosts an enforcement conference where state and federal securities regulators and other law enforcement officials meet and brainstorm ways to work together to fight securities fraud and bring more criminal prosecutions. This is an effective way to share ideas on bringing securities fraud cases to trial. Also, we have to stop using euphemisms when we talk about white collar crime. White collar criminals are cold, calculating, and vicious. Many are serial violators, career criminals. It's time, it's past time, we called a crook a crook and put more of them in jail. We need plain talk and tough action if we're going to protect our families, our friends, our neighbors and our fellow citizens who now look to financial products to secure their futures. On the legislative front, NASAA supports the provisions in S. 2010, the Corporate and Criminal Fraud Accountability Act of 2002, and believe it sends a powerful message that wrongdoers in the securities markets will be punished. As an aside, NASAA supports the provision in S. 2010 that would make debts from securities law violations non-dischargeable in bankruptcy. At the present time, the bankruptcy code enables defendants who are guilty of fraud and other securities violations to thwart enforcement of the judgments and other awards that are issued in these cases. Section three of the bill would protect fraud victims by amending the Bankruptcy Code to make judgments and settlements based upon securities law violations non-dischargeable. Unfortunately white-collar crime is not as high on our national agenda as it needs to be. However, the problems in this area can be successfully addressed if law enforcement officials, regulators, Congress and others work together on solutions. I thank you for holding this hearing and would be pleased to provide any additional information you may need. |

His nurse came over and gave me a hug and handed me a tissue and left me and my husband in that same room, yet again to let out our frustrations. And this time, there were frustrations. Of course we were so heartbroken that we were sick but now we were just angry. WHY? We just kept screaming it out, "WHY, WHY, WHY!" Which brings me to the reason I felt it so imperative to write this article.
As of right now there is really nothing science or doctors can do to prevent miscarriage. You can eat healthy, exercise, avoid tobacco and alcohol, take your prenatals, and take any advice your doctor gives you, but it doesn't guarantee your body is going to process everything correctly. The miraculous forming of a pregnancy is an extremely complex biochemical genetic process. It is one that involves a lot of steps, a lot of chromosomes and blood types that all have to match up just perfectly. If any one thing goes wrong then your body will do what it is programmed to do which is stop the pregnancy.
Scientists and doctors aren't really sure what even causes miscarriages specifically. A lot of times it is chromosomal related, but even then our technology has not reached a point to where the exact cause can be pinpointed and repaired, prevented, or avoided altogether. Science just isn't there yet.
This is why we need awareness. We need outreach, support, fundraising and research. Those of us who miscarry will heal physically in about one to four weeks usually. However, emotionally sometimes people never come to terms with their loss because there are usually no answers. We are left confused. We have more questions than we do answers, and most significantly, we're left feeling alone.
There is an awareness ribbon for miscarriage/infant loss/SIDS. It's pink on one side and blue on the other. I have a crystal necklace in that image that I wear everyday. And so often I'm asked if I am a breast cancer survivor because of my beautiful necklace. I simply say, "Thank you, but no this is for infant loss awareness," and then I tell them if they know anyone who has lost a baby to miscarriage, early infant loss, SIDS, etc., to go online and order this same exact necklace. Not only does it get the word out, but it's a little piece of comfort that there are people out there trying to spread the word, trying to make society more aware of the pain these women and families go through with this sort of loss.
You won't see many commercials about this cause or many fundraisers, but I hope this article will encourage others to reach out, to get involved, even if it's just for emotional support, so that way no one has to suffer in silence any longer.

Phoenix, AZ Exceptionally beautiful product, but I received no notification as to when I could expect to receive it. Nov 8 2010 Exceptionally beautiful product, but I received no notification as to when I could expect to receive it. Also, it was not even shipped in a box, just wrapped in bubble wrap. I was lucky that it was not damaged in shipment. Kathleen Phoenix, AZ Blinds Chalet was the only place I could find the blackout cell shades with tracks in the color I wanted. Aug 1 2010 Blinds Chalet was the only place I could find the blackout cell shades with tracks in the color I wanted. The price was excellent although had some trouble getting the discount on line. Order status or expected delivery date would have been helpful as after 7-10 days, I had to call to find out the status only to find out that the delivery was going to happen when I was away. Customer Service was fabulous in resolving this issue and then keeping me informed. The quality and installation were similar to other cellular shades I have installed. Some improvements to the shade construction/customer satisfaction would be a better string quality and design. I had the bottom up/top down and the strings are too flimsy and routinely twist with each other. The strings and tracks should come in the same color as the shade as the standard option or at least as an upgrade. I had an inside mount and when you attached the metal holding brackets to the top/inside, it makes it difficult to clip in the shades. I have added small washes to other installations to give some clearance and makes clipping in blinds much easier. With the said, the blinds look good and perform the task of keeping out the light as they were installed in a home theater room. Thank you. Robert C Phoenix, AZ The service was fast and my son loved the product, it did what it was suppose to do, block the light from coming in, we will be ordering again from this company, it was a great experience Jul 7 2010 The service was fast and my son loved the product, it did what it was suppose to do, block the light from coming in, we will be ordering again from this company, it was a great experience

Copyright is not all pervasive and does not prevent copyright works being copied in any way. UK law sets out a number of "Permitted Acts". However the permitted acts are defences in a court of law; they are not rights. For example, you would only be deemed to have infringed copyright if you were to copy a 'substantial' part of a work. Unfortunately, like much of the act, terms such as 'substantial' are not defined. What amounts to 'substantial' will vary according to what is being copied. In addition to this, there are 'Fair dealing' exceptions which permit copying for a number of specific purposes. These include:
Much of the copying that you might undertake for your private non-commercial research in libraries will fall under fair dealing. So, for example, if you photocopy an article from a journal while conducting your own non-commercial research it will probably amount to 'fair dealing' provided you accompany it with a sufficient acknowledgment (unless an acknowledgment is not practically possible). Whether research is commercial or not will have to be judged on a case by case basis. However, where research is carried out and it is envisaged that the research will ultimately be used in a project with some commercial value, it will probably not be permitted under the fair dealing exceptions. It is the purpose of the research, not the purpose of the researcher, that is key.
If research is conducted to raise funds for a charity, then the research will be commercial. If you are requesting a photocopy of an article via inter-library loan services, you will now need to indicate if you are requesting material for commercial or non-commercial purposes. This is to comply with changes to the law that came into force on 31 October 2003. If you wish to make a copy of material for a commercial purpose it is recommended that you speak to the Library before proceeding as you will need to pay a copyright fee. For further information regarding commercial and non-commercial copying, see the following information from the British Library.
