Meet CHOC Pediatric Urology's "Triple Threat"
Two full-time pediatric urologists with extensive academic and research credentials recently joined CHOC Children's Urology Center. Together with Antoine Khoury, M.D., professor, Department of Urology, University of California, Irvine and medical director, CHOC Children's Urology Center, pediatric urologists Gordon McLorie, M.D., and Irene McAleer, M.D., have tripled the clinical, teaching and research capabilities at CHOC Children's Urology Center. "Our goal is to create a 'one-stop' center of excellence, where families receive a comprehensive treatment plan," Dr. Khoury said. Gordon McLorie, M.D. "I am excited to be part of this expansion, which is so important to the children and the families who need this kind of care. There are not a lot of people in this specialty, and our hope is to be able to add a center that will help meet future need." Gordon A. McLorie, M.D., Professor, Fellowship, Urology oncology and Urodynamics: Fellowship, Pediatric Surgery: Medical Training, including Internship, Residency: There are only a few pediatric urology training programs available within the U.S. and Canada, and Gordon McLorie, M.D., helped build one of the fifirst at the University of Toronto. An internationally recognized authority on reconstructive bladder and genitalia surgery, Dr. McLorie is currently concluding a fifive-year, $1.5 million NIH funded research into vesicoureteral reflflux and will be publishing the results of this 600-patient study after a two-year follow up and analysis. Prior to joining CHOC, Dr. McLorie taught at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. He has also held academic appointments at several institutions. Irene McAleer, M.D "I enjoy the stimulation that comes from teaching, as well as by learning from medical students and residents. I look forward to establishing an accredited fellowship program to increase training opportunities for this region." Irene M. McAleer, M.D., HS Associate Professor, Department of Urology University of California, Irvine School of Medicine and CHOC Children's Pediatric Urology Fellowship: Urology residency: National Naval Medical Center, Bethesda Internship: Naval Hospital, Oakland Medical Degree: Ohio State University Former president of the American Association of Pediatric Urology, Irene McAleer, M.D., has held academic appointments at several prestigious institutions, most recently at University of California, San Francisco. Special clinical interests include antenatal counseling, hypospadias, urinary reflux and hydronephrosis management. Prior to joining CHOC, Dr. McAleer was at Children's Hospital Central California, in Madera, where she was a former vice chair of surgery. She is a fellow of the Society of Pediatric Urology, American College of Surgeons and American Academy of Pediatrics, Urology Section
In addition to faster access to patient consults and expanded surgical capabilities, including robotics, CHOC Children's Urology Center is the training site for the nation's newest pediatric urology fellowship program sponsored by University of California, Irvine School of Medicine. Several research projects are also underway.
Established in 2010, CHOC Urology has already been recognized as one of the nation's best by U.S. News & World Report. Medical Director Antoine Khoury, M.D., plans to be among the top 10 within fifive years.
One has trained physicians for most of his career and helped build one of the very fifirst pediatric urology fellowship programs. The second has held teaching appointments at several prestigious institutions and is a former president of the American Association of Pediatric Urology.
With the addition of Drs. McLorie and McAleer, Dr. Khoury can now pursue another goal: establishing a pediatric urology fellowship at CHOC and UC Irvine.
"The educational component is key," he said. "We also have several cutting-edge research projects underway, including a major project on bladder reconstruction using cell culture techniques, and have an opportunity to make advances in pediatric urology."
CHOC Children's Urology Center is located at 505 S. Main Street, Suite 100, in Orange. For more information, or to arrange a consultation, please contact (714) 512-3919. Patient records and reports may be faxed to (866) 529-9704.

Richard Gladwell
By Ruth Phinney ~ Posted Thu, 10/15/2009 - 4:39pm
We are deeply saddened to share the news that Richard Gladwell passed away on Thursday morning, October 15 at 10:25. He was with his wife, granddaughter, and a dear friend, and died quietly and peacefully.
Richard was diagnosed with brain cancer in June. After surgery he was able to spend time with his extended family, including several weeks at a lake house in upstate New York. Throughout his illness he was surrounded by family and friends in his beautiful sunroom looking out on his beloved garden.
There will be a private funeral for family and close friends; a public celebration of Richard's life will be held shortly thereafter. More information about the public celebration will be forthcoming, once the family has gathered in Rochester, NY, and a date has been chosen.
Please join us in celebrating the life of a wonderful broadcaster and a lovely human being. He will be missed, but we are all better for having known Richard Gladwell.
Your comments are welcome here:
Richard Gladwell

My husband and I send our condolences to Mr. Gladwell's family. He helped to get us ready for church every Sunday morning and were shocked to hear he passed away. There was no one who knew church music better, especially the Enlish choral music. May he rest in peace in God's comfortinf arms.

New Department of Labor "Persuader" Rule: A Threat to Lawyers and Clients? - Podcast

New Department of Labor "Persuader" Rule:
A Threat to Lawyers and Clients? - MP3
Running Time: 00:59:58
A little-known labor law, enacted more than half a century ago, may soon be reinterpreted by the Obama Administration in an attempt to bolster union organizing. The statute requires consultants known as "persuaders" to disclose to the government their clients, services provided, and legal fees. For more than 50 years, lawyers who advised clients about employee communications, but did not communicate directly with employees, were not persuaders. But now, under a new interpretation of "advice," lawyers will be persuaders if they "draft, revise or provide" employee communications with a persuasive objective. And the scope of required disclosure will be vastly expanded to encompass all "protected concerted activity." A law firm will be required to make full disclosure to the federal government on every one of its labor and employment law clients, even if they do not receive persuader services. If a firm fails to comply, its top officers will face severe criminal penalties — a year in jail and a $10,000 fine.

He also uses topographic maps to help visualize the terrain.
The result was his winning entry, titled "Meandering Hills." Inspired by wintertime landscapes, when bare trees help define ridgelines, it used hundreds of vertical slashes -- trees -- to suggest a series of rolling hills.
He later had to modify the design after learning that the fabricator, Structural Systems of Nitro, charges extra every time its laser cutter has to lift off the piece. Each tree -- "I think we counted 600" -- required a separate cutout, he said.
His revised design uses larger, but far fewer, abstract shapes to define the ridgelines, bringing the fabrication cost into budget.
At this point, the project coordinator, FestivALL public art director Bays, isn't sure how many containers she can afford to make with the $8,000 grant from the Greater Kanawha Valley Foundation. The first $1,000 goes to Lehman.
In addition to the fabrication, there are painting costs.
The artistic trash receptacles are just the latest in a series of FestivALL public-art ventures aimed at turning everyday objects into works of art. The Peer to Pier murals under Interstate 64 have turned into an annual affair, and you can find whimsical artistic bike racks scattered around town.
Bays' idea took a bit longer than planned. The original site for the trash receptacles got vetoed after Mary Jane Vanderwilt, chairwoman of the Municipal Beautification Commission, pointed out that Capitol Street already had artistic trash barrels of a sort. Blacksmith Jeff Fetty's 1980s design has stood the test of time, she said, and City Manager David Molgaard agreed.
Molgaard brokered a compromise. The barrels would go along Kanawha Boulevard instead, to help tie Haddad Park to Magic Island.
An initial call for artists came and went. Bays put out a second in November.
Now the plan is to start fabrication next month.
"I know they'll be done by May," she said. City workers could install them somewhere between mid-May and June.

This isn't hard-core Broncos news. It isn't even a warm and fuzzy Broncos story. It's pretty much about me. So if you don't want to read this slice of self-indulgence, that's fine. Just go to another blog entry; there's plenty of other tidbits around here.
Still here?
Thanks for hanging around. I'll try not to bore you.
I felt like posting a few days ago, but I had nothing to say and little I wanted to share. Maybe a picture of my five-month-old niece in a John Lynch jersey, but I'm not one for posting a million baby pictures on-line. Some people love it; it's just not my thing.
Anyhow, my vacation was nearly two weeks old before hearing a series of words tangentially related to my professional endeavors that I least desired to hear.
"So what's up with Jake Plummer?"
Sigh …
At the time, I was in my dentist's office in an antiseptic Tampa suburb, having extricated myself from the chair to study the oral-care history that flashed on a nearby screen. Yeah, it's the dental equivalent of accessing one's "chart" in a general practicioner's office, but I didn't care; it's my mouth, damn it, and I didn't want to wait to hear if I had any cavities. Before I finished perusing the projection of my chompers, though, the name of the Broncos' former starting quarterback had dropped into my life.
To my Bucs fan dentist — and to pretty much everyone in West Central Florida — Plummer's not a quarterback who led numerous comebacks, or who claimed a couple of single-season franchise records that belonged to someone surnamed Elway. No, down here, Plummer's just the guy who won't show up for work. Most fans really don't care about his reasons. They'd just like to see if he could make the position better.
As for my response … I won't share the details. That's between my dentist and I. I'm just not the full-disclosure kind of blogger. I don't want every detail of my life out there. Suffice it to say that letplummerplay.com would probably give a different reply than I did.
And yeah, the unwillingness to detail my replay might make me a wimp in your eyes. I tend to save the soul-unburdening stuff for my private writings. If I wrote a novel, it would probably be the literary equivalent of a Coldplay CD — it would appeal to the female audience but draw less interest from the male demographic than the release of a sequel to The Notebook. Well, maybe not, because in such work, I tend to write anger exceptionally well.
Anyhow, even with the Tampa Bay talk, I'm all Broncos now. Many of us in the organization grew up cheering for other teams in distant cities and climes from Denver, but have no problem trading in the old colors for the orange and blue. Nevertheless, like fullback Paul Smith explains, I will never completely ignore the team of my childhood and its hold on me — well, unless they ever flash back to 1989 and decided to move to Sacramento or Manchester or some other map dot.
OK, now the tangentially Broncos content is over. It's all filtering out the mental detritus from here.
Oh, and as for the teeth — no cavities this year. Even though my roots are thoroughly English on both sides of the family with a mother who remains a subject of The Queen, I will not be a candidate for the Big Book of British Smiles:
And by the way, Last Exit to Springfield could be the finest episode of The Simpsons ever produced. (Entertainment Weekly agrees.) To wit:
"Dental plan!"
"Lisa needs braces."
"Dental plan!"
"Lisa needs braces."
"Dental plan!"
During the "Strike of '88″:
"What do we want?"
"More equitable treatment in the hands of management!"
"When do we want it?"
All the while, Homer Simpson fights the power at the nearby lunch wagon:
"Where's my burrito? Where's my burrito?"
In Monty Burns' office, Homer's internal monolgue as Mr. Burns discusses labor relations is beyond priceless:
Burns: "We don't have to be adversaries, Homer. We both want a fair union contract."
Homer (thinking): "Why is Mr. Burns being so nice to me?"
Burns: "And if you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours."
Homer (thinking): "Wait a minute. Is he coming onto me?"
Burns: "I mean, if I should slip something into your pocket, what's the harm?"
Homer (thinking): "My God! He coming onto me!"
Burns: "After all, negotiations make strange bedfellows."
As Burns winks, Homer's interal monologue changes to a scream.
Homer: "Sorry, Mr. Burns, but I don't go in for these backdoor shenanigans. Sure, I'm flattered, maybe even a little curious, but the answer is no!"
On Smartline with Kent Brockman:
Brockman: "Homer, organized labor has been called a lumbering dinosaur."
Homer screams.
Brockman: "Um, my director is telling me not to talk to you any more."
Homer: "Woo-hoo!"
These only scratch the surface. Click here for more, or watch the episode sometime.
And to bring us back to The Big Book of British Smiles, which launched this odd tangent. For still more thoughts on the stereotypes of British teeth, here's a reader-pieced treatise from The Guardian's on-line edition.
To think, this began when I sat down with a diet soda and a few potato chips, stared at the monitor and keyboard and muttered, "I have nothing to say here."
Eight hundred and eighty-eight words later, I'm certain … I had nothing to say here.

Film characters who spread the Oscar love
Image 1 of 11
By Glenn Whipp, Special to the Los Angeles Times
Jeff Bridges had to sort through what he calls an "interesting batch of emotions" when the Coen brothers approached him with the idea of playing Rooster Cogburn in "True Grit." "I said, 'Why do you want to remake that,' you know?" Bridges recalls. "But they were thinking about the book and not the movie, which was a relief for me. I didn't want to be emulating John Wayne. Who would?" He pauses, shakes his head and lets out a laugh. "Who could?" Bridges made the whiskey-soaked marshal enough of his own man to win an Oscar nomination, making Cogburn the 16th film character to earn more than one actor love from academy voters. Here are highlights of that gallery along with who fared best in the role. |

Calabasas is a city in Los Angeles County, California. It is located in the hills west of the San Fernando Valley and is in the northwest Santa Monica Mountains between Woodland Hills, Agoura Hills, West Hills, Hidden Hills and Malibu, California. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 23,058, up from 20,033 at the 2000 census.[5] The city was formally incorporated as an independent city in 1991. Prior to that the area was an unincorporated portion of Los Angeles County. The city is known for being the residence of several wealthy people.[6]
The Leonis Adobe, an adobe structure in Old Town Calabasas, dates from 1844 and is one of the oldest buildings in the greater Los Angeles area.[7]

It is generally accepted that Calabasas as the city name is derived from the Spanish calabaza meaning "pumpkin," "squash," or "gourd"[8] (cf. with the word calabash). Some historians hold the theory that Calabasas is a translation of the Chumash word calahoosa.
In honor of its namesake, the City of Calabasas and the Calabasas Chamber of Commerce hold an annual Pumpkin Festival in October, including carnival games, exhibits, demonstrations, and live entertainment. The festival has evolved from a small town fair to a significant annual event. Though the current Pumpkin Festival is held at Juan Bautista de Anza Park in Calabasas, the original festival was meant to have taken place where (and commemorated), according to legend, a traveling wagon carrying pumpkins overturned and started the area's first pumpkin patch.
The City's official logo, depicting the red-tailed hawk flying over the Santa Monica Mountains, symbolizes a commitment to preserving the community's natural beauty and semi-rural quality of life. The City logo is featured on the Calabasas City flag which is flown in front of City Hall and hangs in the City Council Chambers.
Vista Pointe is located along the transverse ranges that run parallel to, and in between, the Ventura Freeway (U.S. 101) and Parkway Calabasas.

Civic Center[edit]
In July 2008, the City completed construction of a Gold LEED certified Civic Center and Library complex. Located at 100 Civic Center Way, the two building complex is the first municipal-owned and constructed 'green' civic center structure in the state of California. It is estimated that the complex cost approximately $45,000,000 to complete. This figure includes the outright purchase of the land on which the complex sits.
The Civic Center complex contains: The Calabasas Library, meeting rooms and an amphitheater, and the Calabasas Channel (CTV).
Public services[edit]
Calabasas funds its own public transportation in the form of a shuttle and trolley service.[9] It augments the service provided by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Agency (LACMTA): line 161[10] and funds its own library (as opposed to using the Los Angeles County library system), runs the Calabasas Tennis & Swim Center, and has a protected and maintained historical district called "Old Town Calabasas".[11]
The City sponsors many annual events including:
- The Pumpkin Festival[12]
- Eggstravaganza[13]
- The Fine Arts Festival[14]
- The Fourth of July Spectacular[15]
Brandon's Village Universally Accessible Playground[edit]
Brandon's Village is a universally accessible playground at Gates Canyon Park in Calabasas that serves over 5,000 special needs children from Calabasas and the surrounding communities. Designed by Shane's Inspiration, a non-profit organization that designs and builds universally accessible playgrounds, Brandon's Village is about 1-acre (4,000 m2) in size and all playground equipment is over 70% independently playable for children with disabilities and will also provide meaningful and stimulating play opportunities for able-bodied children.[16]
Environmental stewardship[edit]
Safeguarding the environment and the protection of open space has been a longstanding priority for the residents of Calabasas. Calabasas played a vital role in the 10-year battle to save Ahmanson Ranch, a 2,983 acres (12.07 km2) property in the Simi Hills in Ventura County nestled at the western edge of the San Fernando Valley, from development. The land was sold by Seattle-based Washington Mutual to the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy in late 2003 for $150 million. Ahmanson Ranch is now known as the Upper Las Virgenes Canyon Open Space Preserve and is protected from further development.[17]
Calabasas voters overwhelmingly passed Measure D in 2005. The ordinance protects and preserves the existing areas of Open Space in Calabasas by requiring two-thirds voter approval before any land in the City designated as Open Space may be redesignated for another use.[18]
In 2007, the Calabasas City Council adopted Ordinance 2007-233 banning retail food establishments, nonprofit food providers and City facilities from using food packaging materials made of expanded polystyrene, known popularly by the trademark name Styrofoam.[19] The ordinance requires food service establishments in Calabasas to start using environmentally acceptable packaging by March 31, 2008, and to report on-going compliance with this ordinance on the first business day of each calendar year.
In 2011, the City Council passed Ordinance 2011-282 which bans grocery stores, convenience stores, minimarts, liquor stores, drug stores and pharmacies from furnishing single-use plastic carryout bags. The ordinance also requires that if those business furnish paper carryout bags, the business must charge customers 10 cents per bag.
Technology center[edit]
During the dot-com bubble, a number of technology companies were located on a stretch of Agoura Rd. parallel to the 101 Freeway, leading that area of Calabasas to develop a reputation as the "101 Technology Corridor". These businesses included medical technology company Atlas Development Corporation and several computer-networking companies Xylan (later Alcatel), Netcom Systems (later Spirent Communications), Ixia Communications, j2 Global Communications, and Tekelec, as well as video-game publisher THQ, and software company Digital Insight.[20] Although some of these companies have since relocated, been acquired, or ceased operations, the area continues to be home to a significant technology presence.

Second-Hand Smoke Ordinance[edit]
In February 2006, Calabasas enacted the Comprehensive Second-Hand Smoke Control Ordinance that prohibits smoking in all public places in the City of Calabasas where other persons may be exposed to second-hand smoke.[23] These places include indoor and outdoor businesses, hotels, parks, apartment common areas, restaurants and bars where people can be reasonably expected to congregate or meet. Under the law, smoking outdoors in public areas within the city is restricted to select "Designated Smoking Areas." The law went into effect on March 16, 2006, garnering much local and national media attention. The full text of the ordinance may be found at Calabasas' official website.[24]
The Comprehensive Second-Hand Smoke Control Ordinance was expanded in the beginning of 2008 requiring 80% of rental apartment buildings to be permanently designated as non-smoking units by January 1, 2012.
The Hindu Temple of Calabasas[edit]
There is a large Hindu Temple complex on Las Virgenes Road in Calabasas visited by many Hindus from the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area and the wider State of California. The Hindu Temple Society of Southern California (HTSSC) was incorporated in the State of California as a non-profit religious organization on August 18, 1977.[25]
Claretville of Calabasas[edit]
The Claretians (The Missionary Sons of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Rome, or The Claretian Order) of the Roman Catholic Church had come to Southern California by way of Mexico in the early 1900s, working in Los Angeles inner city missions. From 1952 to 1977 they operated the 'Theological Seminary of Claretville' and the 'Immaculate Heart Claretian Novitiate,' on the former Gillette Estate, which they renamed Claretville.[26][27] The 'Thomas Aquinas College' rented the Claretville campus from the Claretians from 1971 to 1978. When the Claretians sold their Claretville property in 1978 to Clare Prophet and her Church Universal and Triumphant (CUT), Thomas Aquinas College[28] purchased, moved to, and began construction on a permanent campus in Santa Paula, California[29] At the present time, the Gillette Estate/Claretville property is now known as the 'King Gillette Ranch' and this property remains at the intersection of Mulholland Highway and Las Virgenes Road in Calabasas. The land and historic structures by architect Wallace Neff are now part of Malibu Creek State Park.[30][31]
The city is located in the southwest portion of the San Fernando Valley and comprises a portion of the Santa Monica Mountains. It is 22 miles (35 km) away from Downtown Los Angeles.

Welcome to our JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes team page!
We're taking steps to help JDRF progressively remove the impact of type 1 diabetes (T1D) from people's lives until no one has to fear developing this disease. By joining our Walk to Cure Diabetes team and making a donation to JDRF, you'll raise money to help fund critical T1D research and create a world without T1D.
Type 1 diabetes is a life-threatening autoimmune disease in which a person's pancreas stops producing insulin. It strikes both children and adults suddenly and changes life as they know it forever. It cannot be prevented and there is no cure.
JDRF is the only global organization with a strategic research plan to fight T1D. Every dollar JDRF is able to direct toward research comes from donors like you.
The challenge we've set ourselves - to raise money for JDRF and to walk - is modest compared to the daily challenges of life with T1D, which involves a 24/7, unrelenting cycle of blood sugar testing and insulin injections to manage the disease.
Will you accept the challenge to make a difference by walking with us? Just click on the "Join this Team" button, make a donation, and start fundraising.
Thank you for your support, and we'll see you on Walk day!

Villanova University established the Center for Arab and Islamic Studies in 1983 in recognition of the critical importance of Arab and Islamic cultures, which have had a profound impact on the arts and sciences for centuries in the Middle East and elsewhere.
Today, international politics and economics are deeply affected by the dynamics in the Arab and Islamic world. Government officials, members of Congress, corporations, banks, the media and researchers stress the need for professionals who have the specialized knowledge essential for comprehending the geostrategic, socioeconomic, religious and intellectual dimensions of the region.
AIS entails an interdisciplinary approach that reflects the complexity of the Arab and Islamic world, offers a basic grounding in Arabic language, and provides a background for advanced professional studies, as well as careers in government or business in the field.
The Center's interdisciplinary program serves undergraduates who wish to emphasize Arab and Islamic studies in their education. The course of studies enables students to focus on an Arab and Islamic dimension to their understanding of international issues and world cultures. The program also prepares students for work in government or business related to the region and for advanced graduate studies.
Please contact any of the faculty in the program for more information; applications for becoming a major or minor are available in SAC 277.

You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
I started tutoring in high school when my cousin, who is like a brother to me, was struggling to pass Algebra II and, thus, was at risk of not graduating. In college I began volunteering with students in inner city schools in urban Los Angeles. This was a great challenge because the students do not get a great amount of attention from instructors, which was not the case with my previous students. Furthermore, although the students spoke English well, I often had to discuss their aptitude, strengths, weaknesses, following up, and other information in Spanish with the parents. I learned a great deal about our education system and its inequality during those sessions. I learned that every student is different, and I learned several methods by which to attack their weaknesses and promote confidence in their abilities.Later, after transferring to North Carolina, I began more formal education training and continued tutoring. Again, I saw students with different backgrounds and varying abilities. I taught as a student teacher at Riverside High School in Durham, NC. My class was full of seniors, only a few years younger than I, who needed to pass the class to graduate. The experience was very fulfilling and enlightening. During that time I also tutored advanced students at another high school who were within weeks of taking the SAT and applying to college.Throughout my college career I have informally tutored many colleagues in math, science, logic, MCAT prep, and geography. My tutoring has often produced success in those subjects.Until now, I have never been compensated for my tutoring; I have done it simply because I enjoy it. I love the feeling that I can help someone succeed, and I am good at it. I can talk to anyone and I can help anyone.
Email Patrick
The SAT Math section has some straightforward multiple choice problems and some free response problems that need to be bubbled in. However, it also has word problems that can be tricky to translate into mathematical language. I have found that these are the most difficult to improve upon. Luckily, they are my specialty. I am an expert at seeing these kinds of problems from many different angles, and my students have benefited greatly.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in theoretical mathematics, which uses logic as its backbone. As a result, I took several courses in logic as part of my degree and had to be extremely fluent in its content (both theory and syntax) to complete my degree. Finally, I have tutored in the subject many times. The subject is second nature to me, applicable many times in real life, and I bring this attitude to my sessions with students.

NO! Automobile sector has fared badly. Under the project rating scale, we were to award five leaves award to the best company. But sadly no auto company deserved this honour. The best company got less than 45 per cent marks getting a mere three leaves award. But the sector as a whole got even lesser, scoring 31.4 per cent, deserving only two leaves award.
The Green Rating Project (GRP) is an effort to rate industrial units within a specific sector on the basis of their environment friendliness. The project aims at encouraging companies to adopt better environment management policies. Environment risk liability is an issue that is gaining increasing attention in Indian company's boardroom.

The cement industry is India's ultimate sunshine industry. Up until the 1980s, it was not growing phenomenally. Now it is. After cement was decontrolled in 1989, the industry took off — its growth rate far outstripping that of the country's gross domestic product.
The Green Rating Project (GRP) of the Centre for Science and Environment was conceived as a means to track the environmental performance of India's key industrial sectors.
You will be apt to find, if you peeked into a backyard of a small-scale papermaking mill — like the one in Meerut shown above — imported wastepaper dumped carelessly.
The 1980s and early 1990s were a time, the world over, of increasingly stereotypical confrontations between industry and environmentalists.
What would you say of an industry that takes common salt and turns it into one of the most environmentally deadly substances we know of today, namely chlorine?
GREEN RATING NETWORK is a countrywide network of volunteers of Centre for Science and Environment, New Delhi (CSE) which undertakes surveys and data collection on industries. The volunteers are authorized representatives of CSE to survey the industries assigned to them and collect the required information. Being an important part of CSE's Green Rating Project (GRP), their contribution helps to provide crucial plant level information.

Last season, Williams led the Pirates' to their ninth NCAA Regional appearance in the programs 13-year history and eighth in the last nine year in the Spring of 2013. His team posted a 129-67-1 record - the second-most wins in a single-season (140 during 2002-03 campaign) and claimed four Top-4 finishes, which included a second-place finish at the Conference USA Championships halting the Pirates run of 12-straight years with at least one team title. The Pirates garnered a pair of Top-60 national rankings by Golfstat (No. 50) and Golfweek (No. 55) marking the fourth time in the last five years his club finished among the nations Top-60 in both polls. Once again Williams mentored three all-conference players including the leagues first ever Player and Freshman-of-the-Year selection Frida Gustafsson Spang (first-team), 2013 C-USA Individual Medalist Winner Nicoline Engstroem Spang (second-team) and Fanny Wolte (third-team). During the 2011-12 season, Williams guided the Pirates' to their eighth NCAA Regional appearance finishing 21st out of 24 teams. His squad claimed a pair of team titles (Golfweek Program Challenge and UNCW Lady Seahawk Classic) marking the second-straight year with multiple wins and the 12th-straight with a tournament victory. The Pirates, who garnered Top-60 national rankings by Golfstat (57) and Golfweek (59), were led by all-league performers Amy Otteson (first-team), Wolte (second-team) and Katie Kirk (third-team). Three years ago Williams guided the Pirates to a 96-58-2 record, claimed three team titles and a pair of second place finishes while closing out the 2010-11 campaign ranked in the Top-60 nationally in both the Golfweek (50) and Golfstat (58) polls. He tutored a trio of All-Conference USA performers in Wolte (first-team), Amber Littman (second-team) and Otteson (third-team). Wolte also became the third Pirate to be named C USA Freshman-of-the-Year joining Lene Krog (2006) and Littman (2008). During the 2009-10 campaign, the Pirates finished with a 114-75-2 record, which included its fifth-straight top-three finish in the Conference USA Championships (third). The Pirates closed out the season ranked in the Top-65 nationally in two polls (56/Golfweek and 64/Golfstat), and recorded their first ever win over a top-5 program after defeating then No. 3 Duke in a Tri-Match event at Ironwood Country Club, home of the NCAA East Regional, where ECU finished 12th out of 24 teams. Senior Abby Bools (first-team) and Otteson (third-team) were all-conference selections, while Bools was named C-USA Co-Player-of-the Year.
His 2008-09 team recorded its highest finish at the NCAA East Regional (ninth place) carding a tournament score of 892. During opening round action, the Pirates (108-43-2) fired a school-record 283 behind a pair of personal-best rounds of 68 from All-Conference USA selections Bools and Ana Maria Puche, which gave ECU a one-shot lead. But rounds of 313 and 296 dropped the Pirates to ninth place, three shots away from advancing to their first NCAA Championship. His first year back on the job, Williams helped the 2007-08 Lady Pirate golfers to a school-record six tournament team titles and its first ever top-20 national-ranking on Oct. 1, 2007 (No. 20/Golfweek). The Pirates' found themselves ranked in Golfweek's top-30 for 21 consecutive weeks and was ranked in three of the four national polls top-30 for five-straight weeks. Williams, the 2008 C-USA Coach-of-the-Year, authored a 122-37-1 overall record, which included five consecutive team titles and a NCAA East Regional berth. In his eleven-and-a-half year tenure with the Lady Pirates, Williams has guided ECU to a 1,256-639-17 mark, which has included eight NCAA at-large bids (2003, `05, `08-13), while also coaching Adrienne Millican to a 2004 NCAA Women's Golf Championship appearance. During the 2003 season, Williams picked up his first Coach-of-the-Year award after leading ECU to a 132-21-2 record, which included three wins over top-25 teams, three team titles and nine top-five finishes. He has had 10 golfers tally 24 of ECU's 27 National Golf Coaches Association (NGCA) All America honors, 26 All C-USA selections, four C-USA All-Freshman choices, three Player-of-the-Year (Bools/2008, 2010 and Spang/2013), three Freshman-of-the-Year (Littman/ 2008, Wolte/2011, Spang/13) and one C-USA All-Decade member in Millican. Krog, who earned 2006 C-USA Freshman-of-the-Year, first-team all conference, all-tournament and league medalist honors was recruited by Williams and played under him during the fall of 2005. Williams also coached the men's program to a 987-808-26 overall record during his first tenure in Greenville. In 10-plus seasons guiding the men, he led the Pirates to six team tournament titles, 12 individual crowns and coached five Academic All-America selections. A 1985 graduate of ECU with a Bachelor of Arts degree in history, Williams originally returned to his alma mater on August 1, 1995 when he succeeded long-time coach and GCAA Hall of Fame member Hal Morrison to become the 15th golf coach in school history. Prior to heading the East Carolina golf program in 1995, Williams was the head golf professional and director of golf operations at the Kinston (N.C.) Country Club for eight years, dating back to 1987. While at Kinston CC, Williams was active as a junior golf coordinator/teacher and a player in the Carolinas PGA Section. Williams' playing career highlights include victories in eight of the Carolina's PGA Pro-Am Championships. In addition, he also qualified for and competed in the 1989 and 1992 PGA Club Professional Championship. His career led him to get involved in the affairs of the Carolinas PGA Section, first as a member of the board of directors and later as a chairman of the tournament committee before his six years of service to the organization ended in 1997. Williams has a son, Patrick (27), and daughter Anniken (19). |

The National Football League will continue its long history of honoring veterans and active-duty members of the military with its annual Salute to Service campaign. For every point scored during the NFL's 32 designated Salute to Service games, the league will donate $100 to each of its three core, military non-profit partners – Pat Tillman Foundation, USO and the Wounded Warrior Project.
The Salute to Service campaign, which began in Week 9, is designed to unify and elevate the extensive military appreciation work of the NFL and its clubs. Throughout November, teams will designate one home game to honor the military. Denver's contest vs. San Diego on Sunday, Nov. 18 is the team's dedicated Salute to Service game.
During these games, teams will display a number of Salute to Service-branded elements in stadiums, with the majority in and around the end zone in order to highlight the league's new donation program tied to scoring. Branded elements include goal post wraps, pylons with camouflage ribbon decals, wall banners and the words Salute to Service written in the back of the end zone.
Denver's game vs. San Diego is sponsored by USAA and OtterBox and is dedicated to our all of veterans and our U.S. Armed Forces serving throughout the world. Representatives from the United States Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard and Wounded Warrior Heroes from Fort Carson will be recognized during a special halftime ceremony. Several other military guests will be honored throughout the game during coin toss, player introductions, Broncos Country Heroes Recognition and Salute to Service Recognition.
Additional on field elements featuring camouflage include ribbon lapel pins, Gatorade towels, Nike and Under Armour gloves for players, captain's patches and camouflage ribbon footballs used during every play. Game used items will be collected following Salute to Service games and auctioned on NFL Auction, with 100% of net proceeds donated to the league's three core military non profit partners. The game coins that will be used for the opening toss of the Broncos game against the Chargers are pictured above.
In addition, The NFL and USAA, the NFL's Official Military Appreciation Sponsor, are continuing their annual Salute to Service Award, which recognizes NFL players, alumni, coaches, owners, executives and front office staff who demonstrate an exemplary commitment to honoring and supporting the military community.
When all 32 teams take the field during the Salute to Service campaign, branches of the U.S. military will be represented on their helmets. Conceived by USAA, a new initiative will enable NFL teams to deepen their connection to the military community by identifying local military units from each branch of service to honor on game day. Teams will wear helmet decals honoring military branches with their insignia (Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps and Navy), and the stories of connection between clubs and local units will be highlighted throughout the Salute to Service campaign in broadcast and online.
Here is a look at the decal on cornerback Champ Bailey's helmet:
USAA will work with several teams during Veterans Day weekend to honor the men and women who have served and are serving in the U.S. military. Fans in select stadiums will participate in in-stadium card stunts to thank the military for their service. In addition, USAA and the NFL will hand out team-branded wristbands to fans at select games on November 18.
All fans will be able to visit www.millionfansalute.com to download photos to share with and thank veterans and service members. In addition, fans can create a digital salute honoring past and present members of the U.S. military on behalf of their favorite NFL team through November 26, 2012. The three cities with the most salutes will earn rewards for their local military community from USAA.
In 2010, the NFL and Pat Tillman Foundation established the NFL-Tillman Military Scholar award to annually honor an individual who exemplifies Pat's enduring legacy of service. The scholarship is part of the Tillman Military Scholars program established by the Pat Tillman Foundation to support educational opportunities for veterans and active service members and their spouses.
The Tillman Military Scholars program covers direct study-related expenses such as tuition and books, as well as other basic needs such as housing and childcare. As a result of fundraising from this year's Salute to Service campaign, the NFL's annual support of the Tillman Military Scholars program will continue to grow and help young men and women to pursue their degree program of choice.
Additional Salute to Service moments will include recognition of all military personnel in attendance, on field ceremonies honoring service men and women and special pregame national Anthem renditions performed by military bands and choirs.
The NFL continues to offer its NFL Game Pass service free of charge at USO Centers for military members stationed in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait, Germany, Italy, Korea and Japan. At the USO facility in each of these locations, service members can watch every NFL game live and online in its entirety. NFL Game Pass service also is offered free of charge at US Embassies.
Fans can find out more about the NFL's commitment to the military and veterans by visiting www.nfl.com/salute. In addition, on the NFL's Facebook page, fans can submit their photos in support of our military to be a part of the Salute to Service mosaic or give a virtual gift using the Salute to Service gifting app.

Course Description
Only one of the following may be counted: E 324 (Topic: Poets and Punks in British Culture), 376L (Topic 7), 379S (Senior Seminar--Poets and Punks).
This course in postwar English culture will concern the ways in which different types of cultural productions and activities succeed and fail to penetrate the veil of popular myths like "affluence." I want to raise questions about challenging authoritarian ideology in our own period, but my particular aim is to inject volatility into conventional notions of the heirarchy of high and mass culture. The postwar fiction, poetry, drama, and music studied in the course will lead on to an England far removed from traditional "literary landscape": the seaside amusements of Brighton, the sleazy Soho of Absolute Beginners, and the Carnaby Street that embraced Clockwork Orange (quite subversively, given the Tory pedantry at the core of the novel). Above all I want to raise the issue of what a truly radical, avant-garde practice involves, and what forms it might take. The realm of art, I will argue, can indeed be drawn into everyday life with progressive results. The course will be concerned with history, literature, music, criticism, popular culture theory, and sociology--the fields that have made up "cultural studies."
