New Studio Art Building Now Under Construction
The construction of the new Studio Art Hall began on Monday, December 10, and will continue through the Spring of 2014. The first few weeks of activities will be centered around contractor mobilization/preparation as well as site demolition and grading. The operating hours for the project will be Monday through Friday beginning at 7:00 am through 5:00 pm with some weekend activities from time to time depending on the requirements of the project. Bob Robinson of Facilities and Campus Services reports that they anticipate that vehicular access on Columbia Road will be available for the duration of the project, but there may be some instance where temporary delays may occur. Pedestrian access to Haldeman Pool and athletic facilities at the east end of campus will be available via the walkway between Merritt Field and the baseball diamond. Access to the Sontag Greek Theater will be available via the walkway along the north side of Seaver Theater.
For more information on the new Studio Art Center, visit this fall 2012 Pomona College Magazine article.
ITS Downtime During the Holidays
ITS is planning a major downtime for the campus network on December 28 and 29. During this time, ITS will be replacing the core network equipment, as well as other critical pieces of the campus network infrastructure, as part of the College's Disaster Recovery efforts for IT and to install new switches with significantly faster transmission speeds.
On Friday, December 28, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., the work will affect network access from all buildings south of Bonita and also the offices that are located in the various campus "houses." On Saturday, December 29, 10 a.m. to midnight, work will take place on buildings north of Bonita, as well as to personal and department spaces on the campus network. During each downtime, there will be no access to the campus network from those locations. On both days, access from off-campus will also be affected.
New Ombuds Office at Pomona College
Conchita Franco Serri is the new Pomona College Ombuds. The Ombuds Office at Pomona College is a neutral place where students, faculty and staff can bring questions and concerns that can be discussed confidentially in a safe environment. The Office offers informal and impartial dispute resolution services, provides resources and referrals, and helps visitors consider options available to them.
The Office operates independently as a supplement to existing administrative and formal dispute resolution processes and has no formal decision–making authority. It is not an office of notice to Pomona College. If a visitor wishes to file a complaint, the Ombuds will refer the visitor to the appropriate office. The Ombuds Office is not an advocate for either side in a dispute. Instead, it is an advocate for fair and consistent treatment. The Office reports administratively to the President.
The Office is located at: 201 W. 4th Street, Suite 103, Harvard Building, Claremont, CA 91711 – across from the Hahn Building in the village. For more information, visit the office's new website at www.pomona.edu/ombuds.
Sustainability Tips
Some tips on reducing waste around the holidays:
- Send electronic greeting cards! There are many cute, personal ones out there. If you must buy paper holiday cards, make sure they are constructed from recycled paper. And don't forget to recycle the cards that you receive as well!
- Bring reusable cloth bags while doing your holiday gift shopping instead of using plastic bags.
- Save wrapping paper and ribbons for reuse. Wrap gifts in recycled wrapping paper or newspaper.
- Buy rechargeable batteries and a charger to accompany your electronic gifts. Using rechargeable batteries reduces the amount of electronic waste generated, and saves money in the long run!
- Turn off or unplug holiday lights during the day. If possible, put them on a timer.
- Rather than sending your Christmas tree to a landfill, check with your community solid waste department and find out if they collect and mulch trees.
- Give gifts that don't require wrapping or generate waste, like lessons for a new hobby, a massage, or tickets to a sporting event, play, or concert. Other options include homemade edible gifts or craft gifts, or making a donation to a charity in someone's name. Oftentimes, these types of gifts can feel more personal than a store-bought item.

These pictures are insane -- rapper Fabolous lived up to the phrase "make it rain" better than ANY rapper in recent memory this week ... unleashing a $28,000 downpour at an Atlanta strip club ... and we got the pics.
The moneystorm took place Wednesday night at a new strip joint called Diamonds -- where local radio personality Kenny Burns was throwing a party -- and shocker ... Fab brought along a truckload of cash.
Also making it precipitate -- comedian Kevin Hart, who we're told dropped $7,000 on butt-in-the-face action.
The cash tornado got so out of control -- a layer of money even settled on the club chandelier.
We're not worthy.
Looks like stacks of 1k wraps; not even looking like 28k , what an odd number to recall.. more like 3k total
Who is fabulous? Is he another one of those rappers that thinks he is wealthier than he really is? Kinda of like the one who claimed to have purchased the Gulfstream for 50 million and another 50 million to trick it out what happened to his broke A$$
So degrading! All of it. From the women on all four with their crotch in a stranger's face to the fool flinging dollar bills on her back.
Just how is this a cool display of wealth and success???
Why not do something good with that kind of money surplus?
Hope he had a good time and took pictures because in a year from now or possible sooner the government will be after his dumb ass for not paying taxes and his baby mama's will be hauling him into court for being a deadbeat dad.
one dollar bills...what a BS story...thats no 28k and those guys look so proud of themselves...losers!!!!!!!
This ish is cray !! These fools will wish they had that money back one day ! Why are the giving so much money to these skanky whores ??
Thanks you just changed my outlook on Kevin Hart who I have laughed at for years. How can men degrade women and how can women allow themselves to become just a hole to men? This just made me sad. Not a good rain.
This is the ultimate goal of the black rapper. To make it "rain" single dollars bills on diseased skank strippers.
You know, I keep trying to figure out how on Earth could someone like Fabolous, who haven't have a hit in so long, I can't even remember how he came to the scene in the first place, has 28 grands to throw around, as if he actually has a way to get it back... and I got nothing. I just can't figure it out.
So can someone help me here? How come that fake-ass wannabe/never-gonna-be, weak MC ain't broke as hell right now?
Can only be a matter of time before this fool is broke and we're reading about IRS tax liens.

Sefton, Seton, Whitehaven, Arnside, Swansea, Goosea, Ducksea, Pigeonsea, oops, lost it a bit there.Is it in Londonshire perchance?What's wrong with New Street? I much prefer that.P.S. can't find my gimp mask but I've dug out the wet suit and the snorkel!
how could I have forgotten Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.What was I thinking? Although I don't think there's an Old Street there, think there's one in Bangor though, just over the bridge.p.s. found the gimp mask but it's in a bit of a bad way. Will that be ok?
Now now boys, I see you've been having fun at my expense.... It would be Old Street in London, you know the big place south of Watford with a big motorway that goes all the way round it, that London, where the Queen of England lives..

It was OK, free snacks n drinks and an envelope with £20 in at the end.The guy got us all in a room and opened with "Right, thanks for coming. You've all been brought here today cuz you've been seen speeding!! I'm PC ______" (can't remember the name..)Well, you should have seen our faces! Gutted would be an understatement, but then he laughed, appologised and got on with things. It was just general market research about the bikes we buy and the ones we might buy. Looking at ads on tv and magazines to see what we thought.Obviously I can't speak for this one (or attend as its miles away) but in my experience its harmless, financially rewarding and may do some good for the long term future of motorcycling......

Continually giving the Super Mario Bros. anniversary celebrations a run for their money (not to mention the complete lack of anything Metroid), Nintendo has yet another goody in store to celebrate the long history of The Legend of Zelda. Following up the recent release of Skyward Sword and the touring orchestra, we're now getting a The Legend of Zelda 25th anniversary art book.
Well, at least they're getting it. Japan that is. Popping up over at the official Japanese Nintendo website, the art book, titled 'Hyrule Historia', features a whopping two-hundred and seventy-four pages of annotated concept art spanning the entire series. Priced at ÂĄ3,255 (~AU$42), the book is set to release in Japan on the 21 December 2011.
As for a local release? Best keep those fingers and toes crossed. Only just announced for Japan, there's no word at all for a local release, let along any English translation at all. Collectors best get ready to do some importing. In the mean time, check out some samples from the book below.

Cognac is rarely born of a single eau-de-vie or a single growing area, but generally from a blend of different ages and crus, sometimes up to a hundred of them.
It can be made also exclusively from certain "cru", for example exclusively from "Grande Champagne", but of different ages.
Grande Champagne : about 13,000 hectares of clay and compact chalk soil. The Grande Champagne cru is located around the town of Segonzac. It produces a very fine, high-quality Cognac. It is known as the Premier Cru du Cognac.

François Voyer - Hors d'Age - Prestige Decanter

Beautiful Crystal decanter in a very prestigious presentation wooden box, especially designed to be used as a cigar box. The perfection of the Cognac in the most exclusive packaging : Elegance in its most luxurious form !

With the passing of Steve Jobs I thought I'd cover one of his passions: Calligraphy, which influenced and distinguished Fonts on Macs from PCs. When he dropped out of Reed College in Portland (he also attended The Evergreen State College) Jobs audited courses, including calligraphy.
At that time computers used character-based approach which made screen text look like something typed on a manual typewriter. The Mac used little maps of black and white pixels (that is, a bitmap) to describe how to make a letter on the screen. Bitmaps made Mac programs look much more elegant because they could easily control how letters looked on the screen. History of Fonts - Low End Mac
PC: MS Word 2007
Below I've drawn an orange line around the icons/buttons used for fonts. On the upper tool bar you can see the font: Comic Sans MS, the size: 12, buttons to make fonts larger or smaller Aæ AÑ and clear formatting which clears all formatting and leaves only the plain text.
On the lower toolbar you see icons which allow you to: bold, italicize, underline, draw a strikethrough, subscript!, superscript!, change case, text highlight color and finally choose a font color.
Let's Change Some Fonts!
Xena made me use this story for changing fonts. She barked that she refuses to wear a sissy scarf!
WASHINGTON—Cutting short its Columbus Day recess, Congress held a special emergency session this weekend to push through comprehensive legislation requiring every dog in the United States to wear a neckerchief, with both parties hailing the outcome as a "major step forward for the nation" and "downright adorable."
Spurred by recent statistics indicating only one in five American dogs currently wears a bandanna around its neck, Democrats and Republicans reportedly reached across the aisle in a rare display of bipartisanship, working through long-held differences on acceptable colors, designs, and knotting styles to pass the landmark bill.
"I'm proud we have put politics aside and taken this decisive step toward putting our dogs in neckerchiefs and keeping them in neckerchiefs for generations to come," said Rep. Ed Whitfield (R-KY), a co-sponsor of the bill and owner of two schnauzers who has long pushed for congressional action to ensure all canines can be "absolutely precious." "While it's unfortunate our country had to wait so many years for this legislation, it does not diminish the joy we all feel today knowing that American dogs will now be more lovable than at any other point in our nation's history."
"Every single citizen—dog owners and non-dog-owners alike—will reap the benefits of this law," Whitfield continued. "It's so cute, you don't even know."
Officially known as the American Canine Collar Enhancement Act of 2011, the 214-page bill was held up in committee for days as members hammered out its finer points. Congressional staffers confirmed the bill was nearly derailed Saturday following an argument between Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD) and House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) over the permissibility of tropical-patterned neckerchiefs, a contentious exchange that led to Boehner defiantly walking out of negotiations.
Republican leaders were brought back to the bargaining table hours later, sources said, when Democrats agreed to an amendment mandating that all dogs be required to wear an American flag bandanna on Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
"I was initially hesitant to support legislation this extensive," Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said. "But when [Sen. Bob] Corker [R-TN] brought that golden retriever onto the floor with the red paisley scarf tied around its neck, I knew we needed to move swiftly and decisively."
"Aw, just look at the guy," added Schumer, holding up a photograph. The Onion. Tail Wagging Legislation
I'd like to enlarge the fonts in the story.
First! We must highlight the entire story. It's messy highlighting text on the Internet, so instead of clicking my mouse and dragging it across text I will click at the beginning of the article and then hold down my SHIFT key and click after the last word in article.
Changing Font Size
From 7.5 to 12. It's very helpful that when you put your cursor over the different sizes you can see your text on the right and how big or small it will be.
Changing Font Type
Like changing Font Size, you will be able to see what the fonts look like as you put you cursor over the choices.
There are many Fonts choices! At the bottom of the Font Menu you'll see Webdings and Wingdings 1, 2 and 3. Wingdings are fun! Wingdings make for great spy games.
More Forms of Highlighting
Changing Font Colors
Changing font colors is the same as changing the size or type of font. First, highlight the text you want to change, click on the Font Color icon (see picture below). There you will find lots of color choices!! To find even more click on More Colors at the bottom of the color choices menu.
Changing Fonts in Email
Permanent Changes (Default Fonts)
In your mail program find your Options (or Tools) choice. In Thunderbird (see below) You click on Tools and then Options. In the Options window click on Display second button from the left in the toolbar. In this window you can change your font and your background color and it will stay that way.
Listed below are two websites for PC's and Macs. I tested both of them because sometimes (often) they'll say it's free but it's not.
Downloadable Mac Fonts
just downloaded this font from 1001 Free Fonts, it's called Bleeding Cowboy. I find it interesting, and perhaps hard to read.
This font is called Katy Berry (also from 1001 Fonts). One is size 12, the other size 20. I like the larger one better.
Who says computers don't have a soul? I thinks Fonts are the arty and spiritual side of our inanimate friends.
Change your Fonts often.

From Wikiquote
(Redirected from Claudius Ptolemaeus)
Claudius Ptolemaeus (Greek: Κλαύδιος Πτολεμαῖος; ca. 100 – ca. 178), known in English as Ptolemy, was an ancient Greek geographer, astronomer, and astrologer who probably lived and worked in Alexandria, off the coast of Egypt.
- We consider it a good principle to explain the phenomena by the simplest hypothesis possible.
- Ptolemy attributed by James Franklin (2001) The Science of Conjecture: Evidence and Probability before Pascal. The Johns Hopkins University Press. Chap 9. p. 241
- I know that I am mortal by nature and ephemeral, but when I trace at my pleasure the windings to and fro of the heavenly bodies, I no longer touch earth with my feet. I stand in the presence of Zeus himself and take my fill of ambrosia.
- Penned in the margins.
- Everything that is hard to attain is easily assailed by the generality of men.
- Book I, sec. 1
- The length of life takes the leading place among inquiries about events following birth.
- Book III, sec. 10
- As material fortune is associated with the properties of the body, so honor belongs to those of the soul.
- Book IV, sec. 1
- There are three classes of friendship and enmity, since men are so disposed to one another either by preference or by need or through pleasure and pain.
- Book IV, sec. 7
About Ptolemy[edit]
- Ptolemy's Geography is the only book on cartography to have survived from the classical period and one of the most influential scientific works of all time.
- Ptolemy, J. Lennart Berggren, Alexander Jones (2001) Ptolemy's Geography: An Annotated Translation of the Theoretical Chapters
- He left in his Optics, the earliest surviving table of angles of refraction from air to water. ...This table, quoted and requoted until modern times, has been admired... A closer glance at it, however, suggests that there was less experimentation involved in it than originally was thought, for the values of the angles of refraction form an arithmetic progression of second order... As in other portions of Greek Science, confidence in mathematics was here greater than that in the evidence of the senses, although the value corresponding to 60° agrees remarkably well with experience.
- Carl B. Boyer, The Rainbow: From Myth to Mathematics (1959)

Unfit and Lean Have Fewer Cardiac Risk Factors Than Fit and FatPosted: Friday, December 02, 2005Charles Eaton, MD, professor of family medicine at Brown University Medical School in Pawtucket, Rhode Island " said that, it is better to be a normal weight than to be fat and fit." "There is a large population of Americans who are overweight. The question is whether it is better to lose weight or become fit."
Not surprisingly, this study showed that participants who were highly fit and had a normal body mass index (BMI) had the best risk factor profiles for coronary heart disease (CHD), while those with low fitness levels or who were overweight or obese had the worst profiles. However, the researchers also found that low-fit normal weight participants had better risk profiles for CHD than those who were highly fit, but overweight or obese. Researchers used cross-sectional data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and studied 2,178 young adults, aged 20 to 49 years, with different levels of fitness. All participants had blood work-ups for total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), glucose, insulin, fibrinogen, and homocysteine levels. Blood pressure, height, and weight were recorded using standard protocols. Fitness categories, based on the norms for age and sex, were used to define low, moderate, and high levels of cardiovascular fitness. The researchers looked at the relationship between BMI level and cardiovascular fitness level to determine whether it is better to be fat and fit or thin and unfit. While this was a cross-sectional study that measured risk factors at one time point, the findings show that for most markers it was better to be thin and fit than fat and unfit, Dr. Eaton said. "High fitness and normal BMI subjects had the best cardiovascular disease risk factors. Those who were obese and unfit had the worst cardiovascular risk factors." But, he noted, the study results also suggest that it is better to be normal weight and unfit than obese and fit. "This study adds to the dialogue that weight is more important than fitness." "If you are overweight it is better to get down to normal weight than be overweight and fit." Robert Eckel, MD, president of the American Heart Association and professor of medicine at the University of Colorado Health Science Center in Denver said that, "This study raises important questions as to whether or not being fat and fit is okay." "The biomarker report here is not as favorable as that previously reported. "Being both normal weight and fit remain the best recommendation for prevention of cardiovascular disease and diabetes," he added. Source: Diabetes In Control: |

This was the perfect dress for my daughter who is serving a mission in the West Indies. She wears it all the time.
These 100% cotton summer dresses are pretty; they fit, & provide comfort in hot summer weather. The service from Overstock.co was very good, from the beginning when searching the website, until delivery of the purchased items.
Really liked the dress, but if you have big boobs it mashes you flat. it did not fit the way there other dresses have in the bust line.
Compared to the rest of dress measurements, the bust is too small. Waist, length, shoulders, etc are all true to description except the bust.
real cotton ancd so cool and comfy. Nice to find a summer dress with sleeves and a little coverage but it feels like nothing on... LOVE this little dress washes fine but sharan a bit... but was sized so that could happen... Great dress buy it!
It's hard to explain this dress. I Like the design, I like the empire style and the way it looked on the picture. When I tried it on, it felt smudge at the top. The buttons look like they could pop loss and has openings between buttons at the top part of the dress. It look like they may have put the buttons to close to the edge and the inseam needed to be taking out some. The lower part of the dress is longer than I expected and it has crinkles. I did not know it had crinkles at all. I got it in small. I would have to wear a cami or tank because of the buttons not working right, the crinkles do help with the lower part of the dress. I can see what they were trying to do, but, they need to use real people to get the right sizes, otherwise all that work is for nothing. I saw other dresses that I Iike, but because of this, I probably won't be getting any more.
Love this dress. Very comfortable and cool, yet lined and not see through. My husband loved it on me.

NIXON accessories stand for quality and strong style. Best example for this is the ENAMEL ICON BELT, that satisfies with classy color, noble optic and top quality materials. The brand name is inserted decently on the leather belt and furthermore the nixon wings logo is placed on the buckle. So the nixon enamel icon belt has gotten a fine highlight, so that it stands nicely out.

Basslines ASB5s and Aguilar OBP-1 Shown
The Gecko works well as a one or two pickup bass. You'll want to choose your pickups to match your tone needs and playing style. Two pickups offer broad frequency response and a wider variety of tones, while a single pickups can deliver a more focused midrange sound and leave more room to dig in under the strings.
Most players prefer an active system for a 5 or 6 string bass to get the most out of the low B, and the Gecko is designed to accept a wide range of active electronics packages. Active pickups can deliver a more modern, brilliant tone, while passive pickups with an active preamp can give you a vintage vibe while retaining plenty of low-end punch.
Active and passive pickups can be used with a passive tone control that rolls off highs, or with an active EQ circuit that allows you to boost or cut frequencies. Passive tone controls give you a simplified control layout, while onboard EQ gives you more tone shaping flexibility.
Find your bass in the list below to find the best pickups for your application

[JURIST] Human Rights Watch (HRW) [advocacy website] on Thursday called on the US government [press release] to make "fundamental changes to reduce civilian casualties" in Afghanistan after attacks last week reportedly left more than 140 civilians dead. HRW said that a review announced by chief of the US Central Command General David Petraeus [official profile] must result in "measures that genuinely minimize civilian loss of life." HRW called on the US to heed international laws of war, under which attacks cannot be indiscriminate or cause disproportionate civilian loss. On Friday, US Marine Corps Commandant General James Conway said that the investigation will show [AP report] that the Taliban [JURIST news archive], not US air strikes, are responsible for the civilian deaths.Afghanistan's Wolesi Jirga [official website], the lower house of the Afghan parliament, on Monday demanded that restrictions be placed on foreign forces to avoid further civilian casualties before recessing in protest of recent air strikes. Wolesi Jirga secretary Abdul Sattar Khawaasi said that parliament has given the government one week to come up with a plan to regulate US and other foreign troops [Reuters report]. Afghan President Hamid Karzai [BBC profile; JURIST news archive] also called for an end to US air strikes [CNN report] last week. US President Barack Obama's national security adviser retired Gen. James Jones told ABC Sunday that the US would not end air strikes [interview transcript].
[JURIST] US officials said Friday that Algerian Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive] detainee Lakhdar Boumediene [BBC profile] has been released and sent to France [DOJ press release]. Boumediene was the named plaintiff in the US Supreme Court case Boumediene v. Bush [opinion, PDF; JURIST report], in which the Court held that Guantanamo detainees could challenge their imprisonment in federal court through the use of habeas corpus motions. Last week, the French government confirmed that it would accept Boumediene after French President Nicholas Sarkozy told US President Barack Obama [official profiles] at an April meeting that the country would accept one Guantanamo prisoner as part of a symbolic measure [JURIST report] to assist in the closing of the facility. The framework for the agreement was established at the first meeting between the two heads of state, at which Sarkozy congratulated Obama on his January decision to order the closure of Guantanamo [executive order; JURIST report].Obama's order directed that the military prison be closed "as soon as practicable, and no later than 1 year from the date of this order." The order did not specify where detainees would go upon release, but did call for diplomatic efforts with foreign states in order to facilitate the closure of the facility. Last week, a spokesperson for the German Interior Ministry [official website, in German] said that the US has asked Germany to take in up to 10 detainees [JURIST report]. In April, UK Minister of Justice Jack Straw reiterated his country's willingness to accept Guantanamo detainees [JURIST report] in order to speed the closure of the facility. In March, top officials from the Obama administration met with leaders from the European Union (EU) [official website; JURIST news archive] to discuss plans to transfer [JURIST report] Guantanamo Bay detainees to European countries. Individual member states have also indicated their openness to accepting detainees, including Lithuania, Ireland, and Portugal [JURIST reports]. Other states have expressed reservations about accepting detainees, including Poland and Spain, while Italy [JURIST reports] and the Netherlands [AFP report] have said they will not accept detainees.
[JURIST] US President Barack Obama [official website] announced Friday that he is reinstating the controversial military commission system [DOD materials; JURIST news archive] to try some Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive] detainees. Obama said that there will be changes to the system to increase defendants' rights, including barring statements obtained under harsh interrogation methods and making it more difficult to introduce hearsay evidence. The administration will also seek a 90-day continuance of pending proceedings to implement the new rules, ask Congress to make changes to the Military Commissions Act of 2006 [text, PDF] to give defendants expanded rights. Obama said [statement text]:
Today, the Department of Defense will be seeking additional continuances in several pending military commission proceedings. We will seek more time to allow us time to reform the military commission process. The Secretary of Defense will notify the Congress of several changes to the rules governing the commissions. The rule changes will ensure that: First, statements that have been obtained from detainees using cruel, inhuman and degrading interrogation methods will no longer be admitted as evidence at trial. Second, the use of hearsay will be limited, so that the burden will no longer be on the party who objects to hearsay to disprove its reliability. Third, the accused will have greater latitude in selecting their counsel. Fourth, basic protections will be provided for those who refuse to testify. And fifth, military commission judges may establish the jurisdiction of their own courts.These reforms will begin to restore the Commissions as a legitimate forum for prosecution, while bringing them in line with the rule of law. In addition, we will work with the Congress on additional reforms that will permit commissions to prosecute terrorists effectively and be an avenue, along with federal prosecutions in Article III courts, for administering justice. This is the best way to protect our country, while upholding our deeply held values.
[JURIST] UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay [official website] urged the US [NYT op-ed] Wednesday to hold accountable those accused of committing torture under the Bush administration. Pillay welcomed the US as a new member of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) [official website] and lauded decisions by US President Barack Obama [official website] to ban torture and close CIA prisons [JURIST report] and to review detentions [JURIST report] at Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive], but said that the US should hold accountable anyone who committed human rights abuses:
Although much more needs to be done, President Obama's determination to resolve the untenable situation of detainees at Guantanamo Bay, ban C.I.A. prisons and implement the prohibition on torture in compliance with international standards is highly welcome. The U.S. should also shed light into the still opaque areas that surround capture, interrogation methods, rendition and detention conditions of those alleged to have been involved in terrorism, and ensure that perpetrators of torture and abuse are held to account.
[JURIST] The US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit [official website] ruled [opinion, PDF] Thursday that the insurance company for defense contractor CACI Internationals [corporate website] has no duty to defend or indemnify CACI against claims of torture at Iraq prisons such as Abu Ghraib [JURIST news archive]. CACI conceded that its insurance policy from St. Paul Fire & Marine Insurance Co. generally covered the intelligence contractor only in the US, Canada, and Puerto Rico but argued that its policy covered some claims involving CACI employees who were abroad for a "short time" on business. The Fourth Circuit affirmed a district court decision [opinion, PDF], writing that St. Paul would have a duty to defend CACI from lawsuits "if there is any potential that the policies would cover the claims alleged in the underlying complaints." The court determined that abuses and injuries alleged in Iraq in two complaints filed against CACI did not occur in the territory CACI's policy covered because "it is the location of the injury not of some precipitating cause that determines the location of the event for purposes of insurance coverage." The court also determined that the complaints' allegations "make it difficult to infer that those engaged in [repetitive] activities were present in Iraq only for a few days." Thus, the complaints' allegations "foreclose the possibility of coverage under the territorial provision or 'short time' exception of the policies."In 2003, CACI contracted with the US government to provide intelligence services in Iraq. CACI agreed to interrogate prisoners at Abu Ghraib. CACI took out an insurance policy with St. Paul that indemnified CACI for up to $2 million. In 2004, two groups of former Iraq detainees sued [JURIST report] CACI. One complaint alleged CACI engaged in a conspiracy to commit torture, and the other complaint alleged CACI engaged in a "multi-year pattern of criminal conduct." CACI has faced several lawsuits from detainees. In March, a judge in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia [official website] ruled [order, PDF] that CACI is not immune from a lawsuit [JURIST report] brought in 2008 by Abu Ghraib detainees, denying CACI's motion to dismiss.
[JURIST] German Social Democratic Party (SPD) [party website, in German] lawmakers said Thursday that they will not support a recently proposed bill that would ban paintball in response to a March school shooting that left 16 dead [BBC report], including the 17-year-old gunman. The move came just two days after they had agreed on the proposal along with the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) [party website, in German]. Instead, lawmakers may conduct an inquiry into changing age requirements [AFP report] or placing other restrictions on the activity. Current German law requires that participants be at least 18 years of age. Supporters of the ban have argued that paintball promotes gun violence [DW report] by simulating killing, while opponents have argued that it is just a sport. Lawmakers plan to continue working on other measures [Local report] designed to strengthen gun control.Less than a week after the March shooting, German Chancellor Angela Merkel [official profile] said in a radio interview [transcript, in German] that the German government must more strictly enforce its gun-control laws [JURIST report]. Under German law, stored guns must be locked [DW report] in safes. Merkel asked parents and educators to be vigilant in keeping guns out of children's hands and mentioned the possibility of random checks to make sure weapons are properly stored. Interior Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble [BBC profile] said last week that tightening Germany's gun-control laws would not eliminate youth gun violence [Reuters report]. Schaeuble called Germany's gun-control laws among the world's strictest [Reuters report].
[JURIST] Russian Foreign Ministry [official website, in Russian] spokesperson Andrei Nesterenko said Thursday that Russia has proposed changes [statement, in Russian] to the Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty (CFE) [text; backgrounder]. The 1990 treaty restricts the number of troops and heavy weapons that can be stationed between the Atlantic coast and Russia's Ural mountains. Russia suspended [JURIST report] its responsibilities under the CFE in November 2007 amid tensions between the US and Russia over US plans for an anti-missile defense shield in central Europe. Nesterenko said, "Russia believes that the chances of returning to the viability of the Treaty remain." He said that Russia has proposed negotiating revisions to the treaty with the US and that other NATO countries were also welcome to join in the talks.In 1999, a newer version of the CFE was signed, but it was never ratified by NATO countries. In April 2008, then-president and current Prime Minister Vladimir Putin [official website; JURIST news archive] said that Russia would resume participation in the CFE [JURIST report] if Western nations ratified the 1999 version. The NATO-Russia Council has urged [statement] Russia to end its moratorium on the CFE and pledged to address the country's national security concerns.

Eat-iquette: 3 Rules for Successful Weight Loss
By Catherine Guthrie
Oprah.com | From the February 2009 issue of
O, The Oprah Magazine
By now we know what we should eat: fruits, veggies, lean meat, and so on. But researchers are finding that
we eat can also have a big impact on our waistlines. Do you stand at the kitchen counter? Indulge in snacks in front of the TV? Decide you're hungry when you smell something savory? Three recent studies suggest a pinch of awareness may be just what the weight loss coach ordered.
1. Sit down, enjoy yourself.
Canadian food psychologists gave the same amount of food to people who were either sitting in twos at a table or standing at a kitchen counter eating out of plastic containers. When the researchers tracked what the subjects ate at the next regular meal, they found that the countertop diners ate roughly 30 percent more than those who had been sitting. One reason may be that standing while eating makes a meal feel more like a snack, says Patricia Pliner, PhD, a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto Mississauga and the study's lead author. The takeaway? "Don't eat on the run," she says. It won't feel like a meal, and you may subconsciously grant yourself permission to eat more later.
2. Inhale, but don't indulge.
Scientists at Yale University School of Medicine recently discovered that a food's smell lights up different brain regions than its taste does, which could spell trouble for people watching their weight. The circuits aromas activate are designed to make us seek out the food, which psychologically can lead to cravings and possibly binges, says Dana Small, PhD, an associate professor of psychiatry at Yale who ran the study. She compares the effect on the brain to drug-seeking behavior: "The smell puts people into an agitated state, as in, 'Get out of my way; I must have chocolate.'" Being aware of your nose's power over your brain could help. "You might be able to desensitize your brain to tempting food smells by repeatedly ignoring them," says Small.
3. Be conscious.
Although it won't surprise anyone who's ever glanced down from the TV to find an empty bag of corn chips, a study published in the journal
Physiology & Behavior
found that people's caloric intake can balloon by up to 71 percent when they eat in front of the tube. Brian Wansink, PhD, a professor at Cornell University and the author of
Mindless Eating,
explains that munching while watching TV or even reading can be a bad idea for two reasons: "First, you don't pay attention to whether you've had 14 or 40 chips. Second, you often don't stop eating until the end of the show, regardless of whether you're full." If a snack attack hits during your show, reach for low-calorie, high-fiber foods, such as grapes or air-popped popcorn, rather than calorie-dense foods like ice cream or chips. And never bring the whole package to the couch: Just grab a handful or fill a small bowl.

Source Naturals GABA -- 750 mg - 180 Capsules
When I consistently take this supplement (Note "consistently") I am less stressed and more pleasant to my husband. Read the book "Mood cure" (highly recommend for EVERYONE to read) for more information about taking this supplement!
November 20, 2012
Great value!
My husband loves this stuff. He feels very relaxed when he takes it, although he took more than the reccommended amount. It did not seem to make as big a difference to me, but I am not very sensitive to such things.

great product
My husband and I take this when it starts to get late and we can not sleep. It calms your body and helps you relax so you will be able to fall asleep.
June 5, 2008
It may work for some but not me
I've heard various things about GABA....some say it crosses the blood/brain barrier and others don't. I've also know people for whom it brings almost instantaneous relaxation, but not for me. It did nothing. And I've now tried a couple of different brands. But I would still suggest people try it because I do know people who swear by it.

Executive Handbook
Leaders are called on to do many things for their organizations: articulate a vision for a better tomorrow, mobilize people, constantly drive improved outcomes, and so on. However, there's one thing the best leaders do that is never written about. They are masterful at simplifying things.
Here are some examples of how this happens in real life.
Just recently, someone said to me, "Smart people make things complicated." My response, "The smartest ones can make things simple."
If you're looking for a way to add instant value in your agency or department, look for something to simplify.

State College of Florida trustees named Carol Probstfield, the school's vice president of business and administrative services, as interim president.
Trustee Eric Robinson recommended that Probstfield take over after current acting President Jack Crocker announced that he would resign effective in January. Former president Lars Hafner left the school Oct. 30 with a $363,000 severance package.
Probstfield will likely stay acting president until January, when yet another interim president is named while SCF's board conducts a national search for a permanent president.
Top candidates for the interim spot to be named in January include Dr. Willis N. Holcombe, former chancellor of the Florida College System and president emeritus of Broward College, and Dr. Larry W. Tyree, a current Sarasota resident and past president of Florida Keys Community College.
Trustees set a six to nine month timeline for finding the permanent new leader. An outside search firm will be named at the Dec. 18 board meeting.
