Google nearing settlement on Street View case, reports say
Google could announce a settlement in the long-running Street View privacy case as early as next week, according to new reports.
Bloomberg said the search giant had agreed to pay about $7 million to settle allegations that it improperly collected personal data using Street View between 2007 and 2010. Attorneys general representing 30 states have sued over the program, which the Federal Communications Commission found to have improperly collected sensitive data including e-mail, text messages, passwords, and Web history.
The parties have reached an agreement in principle, according to Bloomberg. A spokesperson told AllThingsD: "We work hard to get … Read more

Bath head coach Mike Ford knows Friday's opponents Newcastle better than anyone after working with the club in 2011-2012.
Ford was part of the Newcastle coaching staff when they were relegated from the Premiership in 2012, working under current Bath director of rugby Gary Gold.
With the Falcons now back in the Aviva Premiership at the first attempt and guided by Dean Richards, Ford is impressed by the coaching staff that Newcastle have assembled.
Despite enjoying his time at Kingston Park however, Ford admits there will be no sympathy for his old side when Bath travel up for the opening game of the new season on Friday.
"Dean is very smart and recruits really well. I think that's his strength as well as gelling a team together. It'll be a good test for us," said Ford to the Bath Chronicle.
"We had lunch with their team when we played Newcastle in France in pre-season and my old mucker from England John Wells was there, as was Graham Steadman, who I played with at Castleford.
"They've got really good people in charge there now, so I am under no illusions what we are going to get from them.
"There's some great friends up there and although it was only brief you get to know the support staff really well, and a lot of them are still there.
"When it comes to the game on Friday night, though, there's only one way I want it to go. My loyalties are here with Bath 100 per cent - there's no sentiment for Newcastle."

I am sure that she is going to love the ring
Excellent ring. You also have an excellent customer service. I would definitely recommend buying jewelry from your web page.
Abosultely gorgeous ring. Breathtaking!
The ring is beautiful-exceptional quality. The band for the setting was much thinner than expected and what is shown in the picture online. I love the ring. The band makes the diamond look bigger however and therefore I will not be returning or exchanging it.
She loved the ring!
The ring was a bit thinner than I expected from the pictures, but with the high quality 2 carat diamond we got with it, the brilliance and the fire of the diamond REALLY stood out, and made the rest of the ring just a support structure, a very delicate looking ring. Very happy with the purchase.
Overall a great ring.
The picture of the setting is misleading to what it looks like in person. It doesn't appear as flat, square and the two points that point to the diamond are almost not even visible. We are happy but wish there were more unique solitare settings available through BN. Still deciding if we are going to keep the setting. I exchanged my first order for a different size ring and new diamond and we were much happier with the second diamond.
The band is very thin but I like the fact that it makes the center stone stand out so well.
Really pretty and I will recommend ally friend to this site . Thanks you so much !!!
She was blown away by the ring!
First off, the service and quality of product provide by Blue Nile is second to none. The ring is more amazing than I had thought it could ever be. When my now fiance saw the ring, she started crying. Every person that sees the ring comments on the fire and how beautiful it is. My fiance even text me out of the blue and said "this ring is so beautiful, I love you". Enough said!!! Wedding bands from Blue Nile are next.
She will love this ring
I could not have purchased a ring this amazing at this price at any retail store. Thank you for a fantastic website that features a plethora of advanced options to help me choose the perfect ring for the occasion.
She loved it!!!
She loved the ring and people dont stop telling her how beautiful it is. The diamond looks bigger than what it looks on this photo.Thank you!
Its perfect. The setting is nice and thin and not too heavy as some platinum rings can be.
my fiance loved the her ring
the ring arrived on time and was perfect, excellent service when ordering by telephone, very helpful and infomative. My now fiance loves the ring and how beautiful it looks.
Classic and Elegant
An amazing stone, in an amazing setting. A classic and elegant ring, we couldn't be happier. The setting is very petite, which suits my fiance perfectly, but be aware that it is small. The ring sizing was spot on. Thank you!!!
Worth the 40-year wait!
When we were engaged 40 years ago, I couldn't afford a diamond ring. My wife has been very patient, but she would occasionally drop a "hint." I finally decided to go for it, and on the 40th anniversary of our engagement, I gave her this ring. She is thrilled! And so am I.The diamond is lovely, on her small hands it looks larger than I expected. The fing style is perfect.We had to send it back for resizing, but that went quickly and smoothly. All in all, a great experience.

BEST of the BEST
By CeeCee
from Central Alberta
I can't count the variety of brushes I own. This brush is my go to brush every single day! I decided today its time to retire all my other brushes except for this baby. Am I the only one who hangs on to brushes for no reason? Plan on picking up a couple more for safe keeping. This brush has the perfect design for picking up all my face products,powders and blush. Award winning brush in my makeup bag. Thank's Jamie.
By Fazspaz
from Montreal
This makeup brush is beautiful. the application is perfect and the brush itself is soo soft! My new favorite
Great for applying loose powder
By Madre
from Kitchener
I really love this brush for applying loose powder. It is so fluffy, great quality! I love all It Cosmetics brushes!
By DONNA
from ORLEANS
I received the brush as part of a showstopper. The brush is very soft and nice, however the foundation was completely dry. The brush did not pick up anything. I had to scrape it with my fingernail. I did not like the foundation, it made me feel like I was wearing a mask. Poor coverage. I'm putting my comments here because there's no place to talk about the foundation. I'm sending it back and they're sending me a replacement. I'd send the whole thing back but I like the eyeshadow brush and eyeshadow that came with the showstopper. The mascara is too guppy and very black.
Very light coverage
By Pam the honest consumer
from Toronto Ont.
I got this as part of the recent showstopper offerI found the brush feels really soft and nice on your face, but the coverage of the IT foundation that comes with it is very minimal.I get much better coverage with my liquid foundation applied with a damp sponge.I was very disappointed that the few freckles on my face weren't covered over at all as they showed on tv. Tried it on my face totally dry and tried it over moiturizer,same lack of results.It is not the brush I find fault with,but the foundation which I couldn't find to review.
By L.
from CALGARY
I really like this brush. The end fell off the brush itself so I just have the diamond/brush end. It goes really well with the IT Blush
Love it!
By Little MissS
from Ottawa
I think I have all of the IT brushes at this point, and I adore them all. I'm starting to give away all of my "other" brushes because all I reach for are these ones. I LOVE that they're cruelty-free. I particularly like this brush because of the tapering edges, which glides over the contours of your face very effectively.Keep up the amazing products, Jamie! I can't wait to try your foundation, which I just got in a Showstopper - so excited!!
By Susan
from Chatham, ONT.
I received this amazing "illuminating wand ball brush" in a recent showstopper, and I have to report that it is the highest quality and softest brush I have ever purchased! The shape is unique and perfect for applications, and feels WONDERFUL! Thank-you IT Cosmetics! (Now you just have to work on perfecting the design of your new 'airbrush dual-ended concealer brush' which also was included in this particular showstopper--great brushes--but defective retractable end-caps)

Best Brush hands down
By Pat
from Pickering (Ontario)
I received this brush as part of a previous showstopper purchase. It is the best feeling brush I have ever used. The Pore minimizer powder, goes on flawlessly. The brush itself, I could run over my face all day. Feels like a soft bunny.Well Done IT Cosmetics.

OMG I love this brush!
By Pitoune
from Sudbury, Ontario
This brush is so soft, I smile every time I pick it up. This is the only brush I use with my Nars Albatross highlighter. It picks up just the right amount so that I can't overdo it. Purr...fect!

The Miami Marlins fired Larry Beinfest as president of their baseball operations and will promote Dan Jennings to replace him, a high-ranking official told USA TODAY Sports.
Beinfest, who has been in charge of the Marlins' front office since 2002, nearly was fired a year ago until owner Jeffrey Loria changed his mind. Yet, afar their dismal 59-100 season, Loria decided he had no choice.
"The Marlins organization has decided to make some changes at the helm of our baseball operations," Loria said in a statement. "Effective immediately, I have relieved Larry Beinfest of his duties so that he may pursue other opportunities.
"Larry has worked with me for 13 years, making huge contributions to our efforts and serving as a partner to me in the process. I wish him nothing but the best and know he will make a great addition wherever he lands."
Beinfest was the Marlins general manager when they won the 2003 World Series, but the team has had four consecutive losing seasons.

In preparation for a winter storm that was expected to move into the Tri-State area Tuesday evening, road crews were pre-treating the roads, plow trucks were positioned in key locations, and utility workers from three companies in Ohio were on the way to the area.
The Maryland State Highway Administration on Tuesday was pre-treating secondary roads in Washington County, including Maryland and U.S. numbered routes, with salt brine, according to an email from SHA District Community Liaison Heather Keels. Trucks spray water with melted salt on the road to help prevent ice and snow from sticking to the pavement.
"This allows SHA crews to be ahead of the game and reduces overall salt usage," Keels said in the email. "We have four contract spray-rigs with 3,000 gallon tanks that apply the brine in a 10-foot swath at a rate of 40-50 gallons per lane mile."
The trucks are not pre-treating the interstates because they would have to do the work at a speed too slow for the normal flow of traffic, Keels said.
After the snow begins to accumulate, Keels said the SHA will have plow trucks and a snow blower if necessary to clear the snow. The SHA has 25 plow trucks and 53 contractor plows in Washington County, Keels said. It maintains 276 miles of roadway in Washington County, but when accounting for miles per lane, that works out to 750 miles, Keels said.
"We will have our plowing crews out in full force, but it's important to remember that if we do get the amount of accumulation that's predicted, it will take several hours before bare pavement is feasible, so if you can avoid travel (Wednesday), please do so," Keels said. "If not, make sure you take it slow, leave lots of following distance, and never pass a snow plow."
The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for the area, and forecast calls for 8 to 12 inches of snow to fall in the region before the storm moves out Wednesday night.
Washington County Highway Department Director Ed Plank said that the department has tentative plans to send out all 36 plow trucks at midnight Tuesday to their designated locations throughout the county to plow the snow and salt the roads. That time could change depending on how bad the weather gets, he said.
The department is also prepared to send out an additional 10 to 12 emergency crews this morning to deal with any trees and wires brought down by the storm, along with heavy equipment, which includes six rubber tire loaders and three large graders if the snow keeps piling up.
"Wet snow is hard to handle because it's hard to maneuver," Plank said. "You can't control wet snow. It kind of goes where it wants to go."
The Washington County Highway Department maintains more than 800 miles of roadway when accounting for miles per each lane, Diane Mongan of the department said.
In the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia, the West Virginia Division of Highways is using salt brine to pre-treat the interstates, state and U.S. numbered roads, and paved secondary roads off those roads that have high volumes of traffic, District Maintenance Engineer Barry Knotts said.
The agency also has plans to position plow trucks in locations that might be more heavily affected by the snow, Knotts said.
"It's better to have a truck on site than to plow its way through the storm," he said.
To deal with potential electrical issues, FirstEnergy Corp. utility crews from Ohio Edison, Toledo Edison, and Cleveland Electric Illuminating Co. are all on the way from Ohio to the area, Potomac Edison spokesman Todd Meyers said. About one-third of the crews will stay in the Cumberland, Md., area, and two-thirds of the crews will stay in hotels around the Hagerstown area.
"Having a larger contingency in the Hagerstown area will allow them to run down I-81 to West Virginia, move east to Frederick, and work in Washington County," Meyers said. "Hazard responders will be in position (Tuesday) evening."
The company will send a hazard responder to locations where wires are reported down to keep people safe and assess the damage, Meyers said. Eventually a lineman will come out and, if it is an energized line, cut it. The lineman then may leave the scene due to the fact that the company has to prioritize where to focus on restoring power.
Crews first have to make sure the transmissions and substations, which move electricity to the regions, are working first. Then they focus on getting power restored to public safety areas such as police or fire departments as well as hospitals and nursing homes. After that, they will look at all the outages, and work on the lines that affect the most customers first.

The University of Chester is a public university located in the historic city of Chester, England. The university, based on three campuses in Chester and one in Warrington, offers a range of foundation, undergraduate and postgraduate courses, as well as undertaking academic research.
The university is a member of the Association of Commonwealth Universities, the Cathedrals Group, the North West Universities Association and Universities UK.
Information for entry standards gathered from the 2010–11 academic year by the HESA shows that the average student at the University of Chester achieved a UCAS tariff of 282.[4] A typical conditional A Level offer from the University of Chester can be expected to be around the BBC mark, and some courses will require an interview process before giving an offer.
1839 to 2000[edit]
The university was founded as Chester Diocesan Training College in 1839 by a distinguished group of local leading figures in the Church of England, including future Prime Ministers William Ewart Gladstone and the 14th Earl of Derby.[5] It was the UK's first purpose-built teacher training college,[6] which makes it one of the longest established higher education institutions in the country.[7] In 1842, Gladstone opened the College's original buildings for its first intake of ten male student teachers on the Parkgate Road site, just outside the City Walls, that the university occupies today.[8]
In 1921, Chester formally became an affiliated college of the University of Liverpool,[5] which meant that the University of Liverpool awarded Chester's qualifications and Chester's students were able to use Liverpool's facilities.
The institution was threatened with closure in the 1930s, but its future was secured by the Bishop of Chester in 1933.[9] From then on, the College continued to grow steadily. By the 1960s, as the UK was massively expanding its higher education capacity in reaction to the Robbins Report, the College was considered as a possible candidate for university status. These proposals, however, weren't followed through.
The College continued to expand. Women were first admitted in 1961. In 1963, the government renamed teacher training colleges to colleges of education, so Chester's name became Chester College of Education. In 1974, the number of courses was expanded beyond teacher education to include Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees. To reflect its wider remit, the College was renamed Chester College of Higher Education.
In the early 1990s, The School of Nursing and Midwifery (now the Faculty of Health and Social Care) was established.[5] The College also began to offer a Bachelor of Theology degree, HNDs and more postgraduate courses, such as master's degrees and PhDs.[5] It also embarked on a £10 million campus improvement programme. By 1996, Chester had earned the right to call itself University College Chester.[10][11] This name, however, was short-lived as the government changed the requirements for university colleges in 1999 to include only those that had their own degree-awarding powers. Thus, Chester had to drop the University College tag and reverted to the title Chester College of Higher Education, though the more descriptive Chester, a College of the University of Liverpool was frequently used in publicity material.[7]
2000 to present[edit]
The College expanded in 2002 through the acquisition of the higher education faculty and campus of Warrington Collegiate Institute.[5] (The further and adult education campuses of Warrington remained independent and are now known as Warrington Collegiate.)
In 2003 Chester was granted its own degree-awarding powers, allowing it to be known as University College Chester once again.[7] Due to its long (and well-advertised) association with the University of Liverpool, Chester continued to award Liverpool degrees until the 2005 intake of students.[12]
In 2005, University College Chester was awarded full university status and became the University of Chester.[13] This was followed by the right to award its own research degrees in 2007, ending Chester's last validation arrangement with Liverpool.
Following the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, some of the university's research was declared to be of international quality, with a proportion of 'World Leading' research in History (15% of submitted research), English, Sports Studies, and Drama (each 5% of submitted research).[14][15][16]
In 2010, the Centre for Work Related Studies received a commendation by the UK quality body, for its radically flexible and high quality negotiated work based learning framework - enabling professionals to customise their own qualifications, 'learn through work', and enable rapid accreditation of commercial training provision. At the same time, the funding body showcased CWRS's flexible approach to accrediting workplace learning.
The University of Chester has five campuses. The 32-acre (130,000 m2) main Chester campus[13] is located on Parkgate Road, just north of the City Walls. It has a mixture of Victorian buildings (such as Old College, right, which includes a chapel built by some of the original students) and modern buildings (such as the Students' Union). The campus also features a fitness centre, sports hall, swimming pool, science and language laboratories, bar and various shops.
Some departments are housed offsite at locations within walking distance of the main campus, for example, the Department of English is located in a Grade II-listed former Victorian vicarage, while the law school is based at 67 Liverpool Road.
There are three significant sites which are recent additions to the institution's estate. The former County Hall, which is located in the city centre near the racecourse, houses the Faculty of Education and Children's Services and the Faculty of Health and Social Care and is known as the Riverside Campus.
The university has also developed the Kingsway Campus with the addition of a three-storey teaching block, ground floor exhibition space and art gallery and sports changing rooms. The £2.4 million scheme at the university's Faculty of Arts and Media features a number of green innovations, such as ground source heating.
The university-owned student accommodation is primarily reserved for first year and overseas students. This consists of halls of residence and houses nearby.
The smaller Warrington campus originally hosted a camp for Canadian officers in World War II and is located in the Padgate area of Warrington. This campus includes the North West Media Centre, which has close ties to Granada Television, The Warrington School of Management, Social Sciences, Health and Social Care and Sports and exercise sciences .[17] The Warrington Campus is also the training ground for the rugby league team The Warrington Wolves, and Warrington town will be the host for the Rugby League Word Cup 2013.
Work is continuing on the fifth multi-million pound Thornton campus near Ellesmere Port and is dedicated to Science, Engineering and business engagement, which will open to the first students in 2014.
The university also has a number of bases at NHS sites across Cheshire and the Wirral.
Organisation and structure[edit]
The University is organised into seven faculties of study. Five of these are also subdivided into academic departments.[18] The Faculties and departments are:

Coat of arms[edit]
The university's coat of arms was granted by the College of Arms in 1954. The arms, pictured above, are made up of an argent shield featuring the St George's cross on which there is a golden wheatsheaf, representing the Earldom of Cheshire. In the first quarter of the shield is a clasped open book, symbolising learning. The crest features a mitre, signifying the institution's founding by the Church of England, in front of two crossed swords, which are taken from the County of Cheshire's coat of arms. The golden scroll contains the Latin motto, "qui docet in doctrina", an extract from Saint Paul's epistle to the Romans and translates as "he that teacheth, on teaching" or "let the teacher teach".[19]
The coat of arms was used as the College's logo until the early 1990s when a new logo, with a depiction of the Old College building, was introduced. The coat of arms returned to the College's logo in 2002 when a simplified version became part of the logo. The university's current logo, introduced in 2005, features the shield and scroll from the coat of arms.

Academic profile[edit]
Most of Chester's 15,405 students are from the UK, with a quarter being mature students. There are twice as many female students as male (partially due to the number of nursing, midwifery and teaching students). The small number of foreign students are mainly participants in the university's active exchange policy. There are approximately 1,400 members of staff, 515 of whom are academic. Many take part in research and often publish their work through the institution's own publishing house, the University of Chester Press. The 2008 Research Assessment Exercise resulted in some research from each of the ten Units of Assessment entered by Chester to be considered internationally excellent, with world-leading work in several areas, including Drama, Dance and Performing Arts, English Language and Literature, History, and Sports-Related Studies.

The Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) 2010 audit praised the university for its good practice in ensuring standards and enhancing the quality of learning opportunities, the supportive relationships that underpin the learning and working in the institution and the strength of its partnership work[24] however it has come under fire from the local community recently due to the controversial purchase of Cheshire County Hall.[25]
The Faculty of Education and Children's Services also celebrated an 'outstanding' outcome of its recent Ofsted inspection of Initial Teacher Training.[26] The university was ranked 46 in The Guardian 2014 University Guide[27] and 52 in The Times and Sunday Times University League Table 2014.[28] According to Dr Chris Haslam, Pro Vice-Chancellor, the yearly improvement of its league table position is 'indicative not only of [Chester's] approach and commitment to continuous improvement, but also of the fact that this is acknowledged by our students themselves'.[29] The university's Geography and Development Studies degrees achieved 100% in the National Student Survey.[30] It is ranked as the 4th best university in North West England (out of 11 institutions)[31] and the number 1 'new' university (universities that have become universities since 2000).
Student life[edit]
Chester Students' Union (CSU)[32] offers services and provides facilities for students and is a member of the NUS. Three sabbatical officers are elected each year and serve a maximum of two years.
The Executive Committee are the trustees of the Union. Members are elected each year before the end of March and each has a different role, such as Entertainments representative, Welfare and Campaigns representative and Publications representative. The support staff for the Union consists of a number of full-time employees, part-time student staff and volunteers from the elected Executive Committee and the Union Council.
The Union runs a bar 'CH1' on the main Chester campus. The previously known 'Padgate Union Bar' on the Warrington campus was in August 2010, taken over by the university. The Union also has three shops. Two are on the Chester campus, consisting of a general shop and a Starbucks Coffee franchise, and one at Warrington. The Union also runs over 75 sports clubs and societies; with each campus having its own teams, many of which compete in British Universities and Colleges Sport competitions. Once a year, the Union runs an inter-campus competition known as Varsity on campus where sporting societies, such as seven-a-side football, and non-sporting societies, such as poker, compete. Other non-sporting societies include the Debating Society (Who have hosted hustings events which have featured on 'BBC North West Tonight'), the Politics Forum, the Drama Society, the Amnesty International Society and the People and Planet Society. A student radio station, The Cat Radio, is based on the Warrington campus and broadcasts daily, with presenters on air from September until July.
External validation[edit]
The University of Chester additionally provides the service of validating external academic programmes and awarding academic qualifications to students enrolled in programmes of study at other affiliated institutions. Bhaktivedanta College, a Hare Krishna educational institution in Belgium, is an institution of higher education whose degree programmes are accredited, validated, and awarded officially by the University of Chester.[33]
University of Chester Academies Trust[edit]

NiceThis review is from: Eureka 439AZ Pet Lover Oh! Upright Vacuum Pros: Can get into tight corners Cons: narrow (But that's how it get into tight corners) Other Thoughts: Definitely a good buy for me as I'm in a condo with a staircase and it's easy to carry, which is most important on the stairwell. I was happy with the "Power Paw" before I even realized the control was not turned all the way to "hose." When I had it configured right, it did great. (I have just used it once, so I cannot speak to longevity.) Did you find this review helpful? |

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

When to Seek Medical Care and Nonsurgical Treatment
Patient Comments
Urinary incontinence affects about 13 million people in the United States, predominantly women. This includes 10% to 35% of adults and 50% of the 1.5 million residents in nursing homes. As many as 60% of nursing home patients are incontinent, while 30% of elderly people living at home are incontinent. Urinary incontinence is an underdiagnosed and underreported medical problem. About 50% to 70% of women with urinary incontinence do not go to the doctor for treatment because of the social stigma. People with incontinence often live with this condition for six to nine years before seeking medical therapy. Living with urinary incontinence puts people at risk for rashes, sores, and skin and urinary tract infections. Effective treatments for this common problem are available in many cases. Urinary Incontinence Nonsurgical Treatment Dietary Measures Some foods can worsen symptoms of urinary frequency and urge incontinence. Changes in diet can help improve some people's symptoms. Monitoring the diet often requires reading food labels and avoiding foods and drinks that contain stimulants. Stimulants worsen the symptoms of urinary urgency and frequency. Foods

Body farm
A body farm is a research facility where human decomposition can be studied in a variety of settings. The aim is to gain a better understanding of the decomposition process, permitting the development of techniques for extracting information (such as the timing and circumstances of death) from human remains. Body farm research is particularly important within forensic anthropology and related disciplines, and has applications in the fields of law enforcement and forensic science. Four such facilities exist in the United States, with the research facility operated by Texas State University at Freeman Ranch being the largest at seven acres.
Facilities in the United States[edit]
University of Tennessee at Knoxville[edit]
The original "Body Farm" is the University of Tennessee Anthropological Research Facility located a few miles from downtown on Alcoa Highway in Knoxville, Tennessee, behind the University of Tennessee Medical Center. It was first started in late 1981 by anthropologist Dr. William M. Bass as a facility for study of the decomposition of human remains. Dr. Bass became head of the university's anthropology department in 1971, and as official state forensic anthropologist for Tennessee he was frequently consulted in police cases involving decomposed human remains. Since no facilities existed that specifically studied decomposition, in 1981 he opened the department's first body farm.[1]
It consists of a 2.5-acre (10,000 m2) wooded plot, surrounded by a razor wire fence. At any one time there will be a number of bodies placed in different settings throughout the facility and left to decompose. The bodies are exposed in a number of ways in order to provide insights into decomposition under varying conditions. Detailed observations and records of the decomposition process are kept, including the sequence and speed of decomposition and the effects of insect activity.
Over 100 bodies are donated to the facility every year. Some individuals pre-register before their death, and others are donated by their families or by a medical examiner. 60% of donations are made by family members of individuals who were not pre-registered with the facility. Over 1300 people have chosen to pre-register themselves.[2] Perhaps the most famous person to donate his body for study was the anthropologist Grover Krantz, as described by his colleague David Hunt at the Smithsonian.[3]
The University of Tennessee Body Farm is also used in the training of law enforcement officers in scene-of-crime skills and techniques.[4]
Western Carolina University[edit]
The second human decomposition facility to open in the United States is located at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, North Carolina and is part of the Western Carolina Human Identification Laboratory. The facility is known as the Forensic Osteology Research Station or more commonly as the FOREST. It was opened in 2006 and is run by WCU's Forensic Anthropology program on a small plot on the rural mountain campus. The facility studies decomposition in the western North Carolina mountain habitat and has been used for cadaver dog training.[5]
Texas State University[edit]
A Forensic Anthropology Research Facility was commissioned by the Texas State University-San Marcos Department of Anthropology and is under the direction of Dr. Michelle Hamilton, a former student of Dr. Bill Bass.[6] The forensic research facility is fully operational and is part of the Forensic Anthropology Center at Texas State (FACTS). The forensic facility has received a financial donation of over $100,000 from a Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Texas State University, and has started construction of an adjoining million dollar lab to augment the facility. The development of this facility has been possible through the efforts of Dr. Jerry Melbye, D-ABFA.
Prior to the selection of the location, objections by local residents and the nearby San Marcos Municipal Airport (owing to concerns about circling vultures) stalled the plan.[7] But on February 12, 2008, Texas State University announced that its Freeman Ranch, off County Road 213 northwest of San Marcos, would be the site of the facility.[8][9]
The vultures that originally created problems for the location of the research facility have provided a new area of study on the effect of vulture scavenging on human decomposition.[10]
The Forensic Anthropology Research Facility (FARF) is a human decomposition research laboratory where questions related to outdoor crime scenes and decomposition rates for human remains under various topographical and climate conditions are investigated. The FARF serves as a resource for students of forensic anthropology as well as state and national law enforcement agencies. The work conducted here will have a direct impact on law enforcement and forensic investigations throughout the state of Texas, and beyond.
The Forensic Anthropology Center at Texas State accepts body donations for scientific research purposes under the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act. The areas of research conducted with donated bodies will include reconstructing the postmortem interval to determine time since death and related studies in human decomposition. The overall aim of this type of research is to assist law enforcement agents and the medico-legal community in their investigations.
While practical restraints currently limit the Forensic Anthropology Research Facility to only around seven acres[11] in the Texas Hill Country, Freeman Ranch has about 4,200 acres (17 km2) available.[12] Freeman Ranch is a working ranch that also serves as an educational model for ranch management. It is an area of land for educational outreach and research. Researchers and students visit the ranch and participate in educational activities and projects. Researchers and students are allowed to conduct experiments and studies at the ranch, including forensic anthropology.[13]
Sam Houston State University[edit]
The Southeast Texas Applied Forensic Science Facility aka. STAFS is a state-of-the-art research and training facility designed to advance academic and technical knowledge in the application of forensic science disciplines to crime scenes and criminal activities. The facility's predominant focus of study is the application of forensic sciences to the human body and the vast amount of evidence that can be gleaned from the careful recognition, collection, and preservation of that evidence. The facility is recognized by the Anatomical Board of Texas as a willed-body donor facility, and accepts human body donations for the purposes of scientific research.
The facility trains students, law enforcement officials, academicians and forensic specialists.
The facility is located within the Center for Biological Field Studies at Sam Houston State University, a 247-acre (100 ha) parcel of land adjacent to the Sam Houston National Forest. One acre of maximum security fencing surrounds the outdoor research facility with an additional 8 acres (32,000 m2) of minimum security reserved for other types of forensic training such as search and recovery maneuvers. Contained within the outdoor facility are a variety of various environmental conditions, including a fluvial environment. Web cams are located within the outdoor facility to monitor timing of various post-mortem activities from on and off-campus computers.
The building is designed as a morgue with cooler and freezer units, modern morgue equipment and tools and digital radiograph and microscope capabilities.[14]
The environment in southeast Texas is quite different from the environment of East Tennessee. East Tennessee's mean annual temperature is 67 °F (19 °C). The Huntsville, TX area's mean annual temperature is 75 °F (23 °C). Temperature, along with many other factors, affect the decomposition process, and therefore difference in temperature will produce different decomposition results.[15]
Other facilities[edit]
There have been proposals to open body farms in other locations in the U.S. and elsewhere. Few of these have been successful as yet; for example, a facility in Las Vegas was proposed in 2003 but was unable to secure funding.[16]
Roma Khan of India is taking initial steps toward establishing a body farm in India along the lines of those in the U.S.[17]
In popular culture[edit]
The concept of a body farm in general as well as the existing institutions in particular have been used in several crime-related works of popular culture. Notable examples include:
- Patricia Cornwell's novel The Body Farm is based on the University of Tennessee facility, but not on actual events surrounding it. The character of Dr. Thomas Katz was based upon Dr. Bill Bass. In his book, Death's Acre, which has a foreword by Cornwell, Bass and co-author Jon Jefferson describe the experiment he undertook on her behalf. A similar experiment conducted by the fictional Dr. Katz solves the book's mystery.
- Authors Jon Jefferson and Bill Bass have published a number of fictional murder mystery novels based on the body farm at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville under the pseudonym Jefferson Bass. The lead character is based on Bill Bass.
- In the British television series Waking the Dead, forensic pathologist Dr Eve Lockhart has her own body farm. She reappears in a spin-off series The Body Farm.
- In the US show Rizzoli and Isles, the Chief Medical examiner of Massachusetts Dr Maura Isles has a Giant African Spur Tortoise called 'Bass' after William M. Bass.
- During episode #6.17 of Fox's television series Bones entitled "The Feet on the Beach", medical anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan and her partner FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth visit a fictional body farm at the University of Hogansburg, New York.
- In episode #2.15 of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation entitled "Burden of Proof" a murder victim's body is dumped at the Body Farm among other bodies.
- Simon Beckett's novel Whispers of the Dead is set in and around the body farm in Knoxville, Tennessee. It is the third book in a series centered around protagonist Dr David Hunter, a forensic anthropologist. The series itself was inspired by Beckett's visit to the body farm in Tennessee.[18]
- During episode #2 of the documentary series Stephen Fry in America, host Stephen Fry visits the University of Tennessee Anthropological Research Facility.
- In episode #3.2 of Law and Order: SVU entitled "Wrath" several murder victims' bodies are dumped at the Body Farm among other bodies.

Payments for environmental services (PES) are increasingly discussed as appropriate mechanisms for matching the de mand for environmental services with the incentives of land users whose actions m odify the supply of those environmental services. While there has been considerable discussion of the institutional mechanisms for PES, relatively little attention has been given to the inter-relat ionships between PES institutions and other rural institutions. This paper presents and builds upon the proposition that both the function and welfare effects of PES institutions depend crucially on the co-institutions of collective action (CA) and property rights (PR).
The project reviews Payments for Environmental Services (PES) schemes and other instruments to remunerate positive externalities in agriculture with the purpose of establishing the basis for informed decision-making on ecosystem services and food security, as a contribution to sustainable agriculture and rural development.
By: José Graziano da Silva; Mauro Eduardo Del Grossi; Caio Galvão de França.
The launching of the "Zero Hunger Project – a proposal for a food security policy for Brazil" in October 2001 by the then candidate for the presidency Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva reflected the maturing of discussions and proposals on food security and fighting hunger, which became national priorities to be addressed through planned and decisive actions of the State with social participation. With the electoral victory of President Lula in 2003, the Zero Hunger project became the main governmental strategy guiding economic and social policies in Brazil and marked the beginning of an inflection that left behind an old dichotomy between them. Actions began to be taken to integrate structural policies into emergency policies to fight hunger and poverty. New, differentiated policies for family farming were implemented and basic legislation was built for the national food and nutrition security policy. This book is part of the NEAD Debate Series (Série NEAD Debate) and it presents some fundamental texts for one to understand the Brazilian experience with the Zero Hunger Program at different moments of its implementation over an eight-year period as a Government Program, bringing together reflections on different aspects of the process, such as the mobilization of different segments of society around it, the role of family farming, advances and challenges, among others.

Research Triangle Park, NC (17 January 2007) - WBF and ISA announced today that the Business To Manufacturing Markup Language (B2MML) v04 Release Candidate 2 schemas and documentation are now available on the WBF XML Working Group's internal website. This represents a major enhancement of B2MML; including support for ISA-95 Part 5 Transactions, OAGIS messages and UN/CEFACT core components while still maintaining backward compatibility to V0300. Documents are available for review until February 9, 2007. This version includes several major enhancements including: 1. Support for ISA-95 Part 5 Transactions has been added to support a wider range of integration problems.
2. Message headers, commands, and formats are consistent with OAGIS transaction message formats, significantly reducing end user and vendor costs for system integration. 3. Support for UN/CEFACT core components aids in interoperability with other XML vocabularies, such as the OAGIS 9.0 schemas. B2MML was developed by the WBF's XML Working Group to provide manufacturing companies with a freely available XML Schema implementation of the ISA-95 Enterprise - Control System Integration Standard. The ISA-95 standard provides models and terminology to standardize the integration of enterprise systems and manufacturing control systems. The standard has been adopted by manufacturing companies as a framework for planning and designing integration projects. B2MML provides an IT ready implementation of the ISA-95 standard and has become the defacto implementation vehicle for ISA-95 based projects.
The consistency of the ISA-95 and OAGIS transactions is an example of the continued impact of the Manufacturing Interoperability Guideline Working Group, a collaborative effort between OAGI, WBF, ISA, MIMOSA, and OPC Foundation. The objective of the Manufacturing Interoperability Guideline Working Group is to develop an industry guideline that defines generic business process models between the operations management and business layers of the manufacturing support system.
WBF and ISA are also members of The Automation Federation, an umbrella organization under which associations and societies engaged in manufacturing and process automation activities can work more effectively to fulfill their missions.
"The work that the WBF XML Working Group has done, and especially their efforts to incorporate the work of SP-95 and OAGIS, is a direct result of our collaboration through the Manufacturing Interoperability Guideline Working Group and The Automation Federation," said WBF Chairman Maurice Wilkins.
"By incorporating OAGIS style transactions in the ISA-95 standard the SP95 committee took a major step in bringing two popular interoperability tool sets together. B2MML v04 will continue this trend with support for OAGIS transactions and UN/CEFACT core components," said Dave Emerson, WBF XML Working Group Chairman. "Since OAGIS components can fit into standard B2MML extension methods, combined B2MML and OAGIS payloads can now be exchanged using OAGIS style transactions in B2MML. This will help manufacturers who utilize both B2MML and OAGIS in their enterprise level systems."
OPC Foundation President Tom Burke commented, "The OPC Foundation applauds the work of the ISA-95 and WBF XML Working Groups to add support for message transactions, using the OAGIS transaction model will benefit end users by bringing together the two most widely adopted P2B integration standards, ISA-95/B2MML and OAGIS. The OPC Foundation is interested in adding support for ISA-95 to the OPC Unified Architecture data model set; this release of B2MML will be a good starting point for this work."
