Attorney General Lisa Madigan filed a lawsuit Friday asking a judge to order a review of what caused an explosion earlier this month at a South Suburban chemical factory that left two workers hurt.
Madigan filed the suit Friday at the request of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, seeking an injunction that would order Blue Island Phenol of Alsip to conduct an analysis of the blast and its environmental impact.
The suit also accuses the plant of multiple violations of the Illinois Environmental Protection Ace.
The explosion at 11:30 a.m. on Dec. 13 rocked the plant at 131st Street and South Homan Avenue, triggering a major emergency response from 40 area fire departments, the SouthtownStar reported at the time.
Two employees were burned in the explosion and fire, which destroyed a storage facility and damaged other buildings at the plant.
The explosion and fire followed a chemical release in the factory's cumene unit, which manufactures phenol and acetone. The process to produce the chemicals runs continuously, and the two reactors used to store the chemicals were not damaged, plant manager Bill Moffatt said after the explosion.
According to the suit, the explosion was caused by propane gas leaking from a ruptured pipe in the cumene unit to form a vapor cloud, which was then ignited by an unknown source.
Alsip Fire Chief Tom Styczynski said the day of the explosion that he did not believe the fire and resulting fumes posed any threat to nearby residents.
However, Madigan's suit states that about 5,165 gallons of propane and about 2,035 gallons of "cumene co-product"—a mixture of chemicals that includes benzene—were released into the environment surrounding the plant as a result of the blast.
The five-count suit states that the plant posed a sustainable danger to the environment, public health and welfare. It also accuses the plant of air pollution, creating a water pollution hazard and failure to minimize the release of hazardous substances.
The suit seeks an injunction that would find the plant guilty on all counts and require it to bring in an independent engineer to analyze the cause of the explosion and the environmental impact of the released chemicals on the surrounding area.
The injunction would also require the plant to cease all production in the cumene unit and reimburse the state for costs incurred by the emergency response to the blast.
In addition to the reimbursement, the suit is seeking $50,000 in damages for each violation of the Environmental Protection Act, as well as $10,000 for each day of violations.

Authorities have two men in custody after they were caught inside a vacant school early Monday morning.
Police say it appears the men were trying to steal copper and wire.
Police blocked each entrance to Paul Robeson Middle School located in the 8200 block Holmes Road just after 4 a.m. Monday, as several officers used their spot lights to illuminate the neighborhood.
A school district security guard performing building checks heard voices inside the school. He saw someone hiding behind a door, so he called 911.
Two men were taken into custody, but police continue to look for possibly two other men.
Those charged Monday afternoon were Curtiz M. Brown, 46, and Antonio C. Collins, 27. Brown was charged with second-degree burglary and possession of burglary tools. Collins was charged with second-degree burglary.
Police found bolt cutters, pliers, a wrench, a screwdriver, two hacksaw blades and a flashlight. These items allegedly belonged to Brown. Copper wiring had been cut.
Collins claimed he was sleeping outside the front door and said he had no knowledge about a burglary. Brown said he too had no knowledge about a burglary and "stated that he was there to find a person who had been missing for 1 1/2 days," according to court documents.

Just lovely. I bought the lilac one for myself and this color for my friend. She and her husband going on a second honeymoon and wanted something for a beach cover. She loved this. I love mine. These are so nice and soft. I use mine coming out of the shower. I am not very big but this will fit larger girls too with the velcro closure. I love the coolness with the open spa wrap and could wear this all day. Very absorbant.

Unfortunately for me the cons outnumber the pros. The pros are that this robe is very very soft, almost blanket like and the color (I ordered the purple) is very nice. Now the cons � I purchased this robe to hang in the bathroom for when getting out of the shower. It turned out being not very absorbent and kind of became like a wet blanket. I decided that given the softness of it, I would keep it and save it until winter. I threw it in the dryer with some other laundry and when I took it out it had shed and pilled all over the other cloths and I don�t mean a little here and there. It was all over everything. It is still a very soft robe and if purchases I highly recommend that it goes into a dryer by itself or you also invest in a lint roller.

"It is one thing to study topics like injustice and rural public health in the classroom; it is an entirely different thing to be able to experience them in the field and to learn firsthand. There is no better way to be immersed in your study abroad experience than with SIT and its amazing teachers and staff. I could not have asked for better exposure or a more well-rounded experience."
-- Laura Kroart, Tufts University
Explore the links between public health and human rights, with a focus on women, children, tribal, and other marginalized and vulnerable populations in India.
This program studies the relationship between human rights and health in a field-study context. Students analyze specific case studies that illuminate the problems, prospects, and potential methods of promoting health. Advocacy efforts for health and human rights on the national and international levels are also examined, along with relevant international declarations such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.
Topics of study include:
- The political economy of health (globalization, the WTO, the IMF, and World Bank)
- "Health" and its relationship to human fulfillment
- Regional and grassroots approaches to improving access to healthcare
- Social determinants of health (poverty, oppression, caste, and hierarchy)
- The meaning of "human rights" in relation to health and state sovereignty
Students spend time at leading local, regional, national, and international institutions, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) India Office, the Population Foundation of India, and the Centre for Health, Education, Training and Nutrition Awareness. Students also spend a week interning with a local organization or individual actively working for public health and positive change in India.
The program includes intensive instruction in Hindi and a ten-week homestay with an Indian host family located near the SIT program center in New Delhi.

|Accessing healthcare in India: existing hurdles and challenges
India has the potential to benefit from a huge "population dividend" for the labor force of the future: nearly one-third of its population is under the age of 15. However, this "dividend" is at risk because a majority of India's youth lives in deep poverty. These at-risk children are semi-literate and unskilled and are vulnerable to preventable yet debilitating diseases and fatal infections. Poor public health services further complicate the scenario as young people do not have access to adequate healthcare.
Health indicators show that women fare much worse than men in India. Their health illiteracy and lack of rights, in concert with poor health services, continues to fuel a vicious cycle of disease and premature death. From sex selective abortions to malnourishment, and maternal mortality, female health indices clearly reflect deep socio-cultural discrimination that perpetuates inequitable health outcomes and impairs women's ability to live healthy lives.

Yeo fails in bid to keep seat
Updated 4:09pm Monday 3rd February 2014 in News
MP Tim Yeo is understood to have failed in his bid to fight for his South Suffolk seat at the next General Election.
Members of the South Suffolk Conservative Association voted against re-adopting him in a full ballot.
Conservative Party members in South Suffolk, which includes Brantham and East Bergholt, were deciding whether they want to deselect Mr Yeo.
Senior members of his constituency association decided not to re-select Mr Yeo to stand at the next election.
Mr Yeo, 68, lives in East Bergholt, is Suffolk's longest-serving MP, having been in the House for 30 years.
Mr Yeo was recently investigated by the Parliamentary watchdog over lobbying allegations.
He was cleared and has been reinstated as chairman of the influential Commons Energy and Climate Change Committee.

Name: Miguel Felix Alberto
Majors: International Business and Marketing
Minor: Japanese
Program: Temple University
Where: Japan
When: Spring 2009
Favorite Course: Fundamentals of Asian Business
Highlight: Getting use to public transportation
Best Excursion: Overnight bus to Kyoto and the Kansai District
Favorite Dish: Katsu Don (Chicken Cutlet over Rice and Fried Egg)
Least Favorite Dish: Blowfish
What did you learn to love about the culture(s)?
How do you see this experience affecting your future?
I found that I am more open to experience anything. After being in Japan and forcing myself to see and experience the culture, I feel myself to be ready to experience anything bold and new.
What was one fear you had before going? Would you have this same fear if you were going to study abroad again? Why or why not?
Before going it didn't hit me that I was going to Japan. I can remember the specific moment when it did. I was sitting on the plane and as soon as that plane left the ground I remember just freaking out thinking, "Oh crap… I am going to Japan." There were several negative thoughts just looming through my head. My number one fear was getting lost on landing and not being able to get in touch with anybody. I eventually just calmed down and actually found people on the same TUJ program while on the plane.
How have you used the language since you returned from your study abroad experience? How do you plan to use it in the future?
Of course being in Japan I used as much Japanese as I could with anyone that seemed like they wouldn't kill me if I approached them. There were many of times where I would just spark a conversation with someone right next to me on the train. When I came back, I kept in touch with most of my Japanese friends on Skype. We still try to do a language exchange, even across seas. I have high hopes to intern with a Japanese company and market products from Japan to neighboring countries and the United States.

While in the Cape Coral City Council chambers preparing for a meeting about the Utilities Expansion Project, statements made by city staff members were broadcast over the city's public access channel. The comments that were overheard now have a council member questioning the real cost of the project.
Councilman Chris Chulakes-Leetz didn't like what he heard.
"On one issue the question was asked, 'What about Sullivan and Leetz?' And the comment was, 'They don't matter,'" said Chulakes-Leetz.
The controversial comments were allegedly made by the city manger and staff who didn't know their conversation was being broadcast over live TV.
"The act of someone recording my staff without my knowledge is a violation," said John Szerlag, Cape Coral City Manager.
Longtime resident Ken Zeske caught the conversation when he flipped to Channel 98 Wednesday morning. Zeske was appalled by what he heard.
"Now he's laughing saying, 'We're going to hide these specs and they'll never find them. I got them buried in the weeks,'" said Zeske.
Zeske believes those comments were made by the city's business manager who, he claims, is hiding the true cost of the Utilities Expansion Project from the council.
He asked the city clerk for a copy of the audio.
"She said it never existed. I said, 'It did exist, I heard it,'" said Zeske.
So did Chulakes-Leetz, who is worried residents impacted by the EUP are being taken for an expensive ride.
"My interpretation is city staff is going to do what city staff wants and they'll manipulate council to get their way," said Chulakes-Leetz.
Zeske hopes his family doesn't get caught in the fallout.
"One thing I'm concerned of is they're going to retaliate against my family because I have a son who works for the city," said Zeske.
A spokeswoman for the city says the city manager isn't commenting on the allegations.
We also spoke with the business manager accused of hiding vital financial information about the UEP from the council and he denied any wrongdoing.
UPDATE: Friday, Cape Coral City Manager John Szerlag sent out the following statement:
"The comments being
referenced in the media and attributed to Business Manager Mike Ilczyszyn are
false. Other comments referenced in various media outlets were either false,
taken out of context or do not match the recollections of those in attendance at
the "dry run." These comments will be addressed in their entirety next

London Welsh consider move to Witney (From The Oxford Times)

London Welsh consider move to Witney
8:00am Saturday 25th January 2014 in Rugby By Andrew Smith, Business Editor. Call me on 01865 425460
WITNEY could soon be home to a professional rugby union team.
London Welsh want to develop a 10,000-capacity ground at Witney Community Stadium on Downs Road, the former home of defunct football club Witney Town.
The plan, submitted to West Oxfordshire District Council by landowner On The Edge, is for the installation of five temporary stands including more than 6,000 seats.
If approved, the club say they will take up residence in time for the 2014-15 season, which starts in September.
London Welsh currently play at the Kassam Stadium in Oxford, sharing the ground with Oxford United.
Directors are not ruling out continuing with that arrangement next season, but they say they are looking at Witney as an alternative.
Club commercial director David Jenkins said: "We came to the Kassam Stadium because we needed a ground that met the professional board criteria. Our criteria is moving fast and one of the things is to find an alternate or standby ground in the vicinity."
Mr Jenkins said an issue with playing at the Kassam is that the club do not have "primacy of tenure", meaning Oxford United always have the first option on fixtures and use of the stadium.
If planning permission is granted on February 18, the club will then have to get the Witney stadium approved by the Professional Game Board for Rugby Union in England.
London Welsh are in the Greene King IPA Championship but are seeking promotion to the Aviva Premiership which has more stringent stadium requirements.
Mr Jenkins described match attendances of less than 2,000 at the Kassam Stadium this year as "disappointing" and said he believed West Oxfordshire could attract larger crowds with the stadium able to generate sponsorship and advertising revenue.
It could also become a wider centre for sporting activities and schools matches, he said.
The news has been welcomed by West Oxfordshire District councillors as a major boost for the area, with the stadium having been unused since Witney Town folded last February.
Former mayor Harry Eaglestone, whose Witney West ward covers the area, said: "I think it would be a good thing – it would bring people to the area and help local businesses."
West Oxfordshire District Council leader Barry Norton said: "If it does happen, I would hope London Welsh work closely with Witney Rugby Football Club to their mutual benefit."
Last April On The Edge claimed the stadium, set in 34 acres, could be demolished to make way for a supermarket, care home or bus depot.
But director Gavin Brown said: "They (the club) need to be sustainable – they need a home they can control and they have to get revenue in.
"A lot of businesses want to be involved. The club could embrace the community and offer an ideal sports facility."
Firoz Kassam, owner of the Kassam Stadium, said: "If they want to move, good luck to them. If they want to talk, I am here to talk."

Veteran Cuba visitors will remember an era when the word 'pasta' was a euphemism for 'mush.
Veteran Cuba visitors will remember an era when the word 'pasta' was a euphemism for 'mush.
A roquero's delight has recently sprung up on the edge of Parque Josone honoring the previously banned Beatles in a bar that evokes the swinging spirit of the decidedly un-Cuban 1960s.
There's a coolness to the kitsch at the retro Hotel Internacional, which stages a shamelessly over-the-top, Tropicana-style floor show (Tuesday to Sunday), which is, arguably, second only to 'the one' in Havana. Book the dinner at 8pm (booking through your hotel is best), catch the singers and dancers strutting their stuff, and stay after midnight for the tie-loosening disco.
For those with a head for heights, Varadero's greatest thrill has to be skydiving at this base at the old airport just west of Varadero. The terminal is 1km up a dirt road, opposite Marina Acua.
This green oasis is more enclosed and much prettier than Parque Central.
Varadero's top scuba facility is the mega-friendly, multilingual Barracuda Diving Center. Diving costs CUC$50 per dive with equipment, cave diving is CUC$60 and night diving costs CUC$55.
Beyond Marina Chapelín, Varadero sprawls east like a displaced North American suburb with scrubby mangroves interspersed with megahotel complexes, the odd iron crane and a dolphin show.
Aquaworld Marina Chapelín organizes Varadero's nautical highlight in the popularity stakes: the Seafari Cayo Blanco , a seven-hour sojourn (CUC$101) from Marina Chapelín to nearby Cayo Blanco and its idyllic beach.
While it's no Pebble Beach, golfers can have a swinging session at this uncrowded and well-landscaped club: Cuba's first 18-hole course.
Backing up Barracuda Diving is this secondary option in western Varadero near the Hotel Kawama.
This operator features a variety of helicopter tours in Russian M1-8 choppers; the Trinidad trip (CUC$199) is popular. The Tour de Azúcar (sugarcane tour) visits a disused sugar mill and takes a steam train ride to Cárdenas station. Prices are CUC$39/30 per adult/child.
Upping the ante considerably in Varader's new paladar scene is this fine-dining restaurant that exudes an aura of refinement not seen since Benny Moré last cleared his throat and shouted 'dilo!' .

Yorkton Council has chosen to take full responsibility for the Yorkton Airport Authority (YAA).
The Authority, which acts as a committee of Council to make recommendations on the airport, and to mange the municipally-owned facility, has been made up of people from the community, along with a Council representative, as appointed by the Mayor.
This year, the Authority has a decidedly different look as all members of Yorkton Council and no members of the public were appointed.
Mayor Bob Maloney said the move was made after a "couple of issues came to Council" involving the airport, one being a lack of interest from the Authority to continue to have the annual Kambusters Car Club drag races at the airport.
Representatives of the Car Club appeared before Council Nov. 4, 2013 regarding the issue.
Kambusters president Frank Pohozoff said the club "celebrated 10 years of drag racing in Yorkton" this summer, and are operating under a contract with the YAA and the City which is "coming due in 2015."
In order to facilitate planning down the road, Pohozoff said his Club approached the YAA regarding a new contract.
"They (the YAA) forwarded a letter to us," he told Council. "In the letter they stated they do not want to re-sign a lease.
At the meeting, to facilitate a contract happening, Mayor Bob Maloney suggested referring the matter to City Administration with the understanding he and City Manager David Putz would be in contact with the YAA to help "things move forward."
Maloney said Council also recognized the City was the major source of funds for the airport handled through the YAA.
"We've invested $600-$700,000 out there the last three years," he said.
As the funding agency, and with some concerns arising, Maloney said Council decided to take the reins.
"As a Council we felt we needed to have more control over what was going on," he said.
Maloney did take the time to thank members of the volunteer committee for their past efforts, but reiterated "Council wants to be more directly involved" to ensure "we move in the direction we'd like to see."
The past YAA made strides, said the Mayor, adding "we want to make sure we continue to move in the direction we want to be going. We felt we needed to be more hands-on in that process."
Asked if Council has the background regarding aviation needs to operate the YAA, Maloney said he was confident they do, or have access to expertise when needed.
"We've got experienced staff that has learned a lot about airports the last while," he said, adding they will still be listening to airport users.
"We have a pretty good record of listening to people bringing concerns to us," he offered.
So what is the vision Council has for the airport?
"Continued growth," suggested Maloney.
As an example the airport has unused land which could be developed by business if it fits with the general purpose of an airport, said Maloney.
"We'd like to see more commercial development," he said, adding to make the best sense it would need to be "airport-related stuff."
At some point growth could mean scheduled passenger service too, but after having Perimeter Aviation out of Winnipeg looking at the city, but not taking the step to offer service, "it doesn't look like scheduled service is imminent," said Maloney.

Jordan Crawford was traded to the Washington Wizards late Wednesday in a deal that sent Kirk Hinrich to the Atlanta Hawks. Mike Bibby also went to the Wizards, giving Washington just a touch of cap relief, as both Bibby and Hinrich are signed through the 2011-12 season. Still, because Hinrich is a better player than Bibby, the Wizards needed some incentive to make the swap. That came in the form of Crawford, the No. 27 pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, and a 2011 first-round pick that will land in the high teens or low 20s.
Crawford starred at Xavier, averaging more than 20 points per game, before making himself eligible for the draft. But he's certainly most famous for his dunking ability, and in particular his dunk on LeBron James during a Nike event that led to some wild conspiracy to keep video of said dunk a secret.
But on the court, Crawford looks like be a solid complementary scorer at the two-guard. In Washington, that spot is currently manned by Nick Young, who has exploded this season, averaging 17.5 points per game on about league-average shooting efficiency. Crawford hasn't played much in Atlanta, just as Young had trouble staying on the floor his rookie season under Eddie Jordan. But in those limited minutes, Crawford has shown to be similar to Young in relying primarily on long jumpers -- three-pointers, mostly -- to get his offense. Both can get to the rim; Young's dunks are almost as famous as those of Crawford. But they like to shoot first.
Young will be a restricted free agent at season's end. If the Wizards won't or can't keep him, Crawford will be there waiting in the wings. If Washington decides to make Young the starting two-guard for the near-future, Crawford will be there waiting for his opportunity, just as Young did before him.

There have two major new hires at the US and UK divisions of Martin Professional, the Danish manufacturing of moving lighting and control.
In the US, Matthias Hinrichs has come onboard as control product specialist. Hinrichs will provide sales and technical support for the growing Martin line of control products, which includes the newly released Maxxyz professional lighting console. He is based out of Martin's West Coast office.
"By providing excellent customer service, as well as supporting the sales department with all questions regarding control products, Matthias will help provide the right product for the right application," commented Michael Nevitt, control product manager at Martin US. "He was an integral part of the Maxxyz Beta test group for the past year, which makes for a seamless transition into the Martin team. It's a great benefit to have another control expert on staff."
Hinrichs, a native of Berlin, Germany, moved to Los Angeles in 2002. Prior to moving that, he was a student of theatre and event technology, as well as a freelance lighting programmer/designer in Europe.
His list of lighting credits includes corporate events, TV productions, rock shows, dance performances, and tradeshows. His production highlights include music videos for Peter Gabriel, Pink, Ice Cube and The Vines; a promotional event with Phil Collins; Top of the Pops; Dick Clark's New Years Rockin' Eve; The German President Summer Gala; UNICEF Millennium Gala Germany; and Ubisoft's booth at E3. He toured with Gaelforce Dance, which performed over 250 times under his lighting direction in all parts of the world, including Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Meanwhile, in the UK, former Martin Professional PLC employee Simon Allan has rejoined the company as product manager for the Stage, Studio and Event segment, which includes Martin's MAC range of moving heads. Allan's responsibilities also cover Martin's growing range of lighting controllers, including the Maxxyz.
Allan has ten years of experience in the lighting industry and returns to Martin UK after three years as technical manager at moving light rental company Set Lighting & Sound Ltd. Prior to that he was employed at Martin UK as a technical support engineer, working on various onsite projects, as well as conducting training courses and helping to run the Martin University.
Allan said, "I'm glad to be back with Martin after being away for three years. A lot has happened here in that time including the establishment of the MAC 2000 range and the launch of the new Maxxyz controller. I am looking forward to the new challenge."

Clinic, Externships and Experiential Programs
There are a number of experiential opportunities at the Law Center that provide students with the opportunity to earn credit while learning through practice. The Law Center's location in Baton Rouge, the State Capital, offers tremendous advantages to placing students with state and local governmental agencies and courts where students can experience the real practice of law through a structured academic setting.
Through the Law Clinic, the Law Center offers second and third-year students the opportunity to practice law and represent indigent clients in the Baton Rouge community. The Law Clinic is analogous to a residency in medical school where, under close faculty supervision, students practice by representing real clients with important legal issues. Students practice in local courts, before administrative agencies and other venues. The Law Clinic is a self-contained legal services office located in the Law Center where students are certified to practice law pursuant to Louisiana Supreme Court Rule XX. Current offerings include an Immigration Law Clinic, a Juvenile Defense Clinic, a Civil Mediation Clinic, a Parole Assistance Clinic, and a Homeless Advocacy Clinic. More clinical offerings are planned in the future.
There are also numerous Externship opportunities including the Judicial Externship Program that places students as judicial 'law clerks' in state and federal courts; the Governmental Externship that places students with the Attorney General's Office and other state and local agencies; and the Public Interest/Non-Profit Externship which places students with local agencies serving marginalized populations and the legal interests of the poor. The Law Center also offers students the opportunity to tailor an externship experience to their own specific interest through the Individualized Externship Program and offers an Externship during the summer session.
The LSU Law Clinic is a recipient of a Models for Change Program Grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.

If your spouse is angry or yelling at you, you may want to get them a snack!
A new study from Ohio State University monitored married couples and their blood sugar for three weeks.
Each participant was given a voo-doo doll, representing their spouse, and every night they stuck pins in it depending on how angry they were with their spouse.
They found people with lower blood sugar levels stuck more pins in their dolls and were more likely to lash out.

40,000 students worldwide are studying Lord of the Rings Online and you can too
Professor Jay Clayton of Vanderbilt University is chatting with me over Skype, but he admits that his attention is slightly divided. He's got Lord of the Rings Online running on a second monitor, and countless players are sending him messages to say hello.
Clayton has to be the most popular player in Lord of the Rings Online right now. Apart from his two level-capped end-game characters he also runs low-level characters on 18 different servers that he uses just to communicate with his compatriots around the world.
Clayton is so popular because he's running an online course right now called "Online Games: Literature, New Media, and Narrative" that's being taken by over 40,000 students around the world and focuses largely on Lord of the Rings Online.
Big elf on campus
Clayton is a literature professor first and foremost, and he bears some of the telltale hallmarks of the profession. He's very clear and concise when you're wrong about something. He also didn't mind pointing out when he'd said something important in our interview. As if to say, "take careful notes, this will be on the exam."
But at the same time, he's quick to laugh and also a seasoned online MMO player. His love of narrative and sci-fi originally brought him to Star Wars Galaxies, before ultimately fleeing alongside the rest of the player base during the disastrous New Game Enhancement update. He's moved between other games like Dark Age of Camelot and World of Warcraft before finding a home in Lord of the Rings Online during the game's beta.
"I'm a literature professor so I've always been teaching English classes in relation to digital culture," said Clayton. "I believe I began with Myst as the first game I put into an English class."
This course isn't being offered through Clayton's university, Vanderbilt, though. He's created this class for the free online education giant, Coursera. Coursera works with well-known universities and their professors to provide university-level online courses that are free for anybody, anywhere.
Online Games: Literature, New Media, and Narrative is a course about what happens to storytelling as it transfers between the main three narrative devices of our time: film, novel, and video game.
Lord of the Rings Online was chosen in part because it's a great game, in part because it's free, which lowers the barrier to entry, but mainly because it's part of the Lord of the Rings trilogy of trilogies which span three mediums.
Sao Paolo, Middle-Earth
"One of the main lessons in this first week is to introduce a concept called 'remediation,'" he told the Report. "Which is a really interesting concept because it stops you thinking about whether a film or game is faithful to the source material. It stops you from thinking about the content, but rather focuses you on the transformations that occur because of the medium itself. So what we do is focus on the limits that are set by each of those three media."
"The other learning objective is to show how Romance narrative, dating all the way back to The Oddyssey, are deeply intertwined with Tolkien literature and fantasy gaming," he said.
It's a six week course that began this week, and is still open to be joined. All lectures in a Coursera course are able to be viewed at any time so you can still join in and follow along. You just may be behind on the assignments. Which isn't really a problem considering grading in these courses is almost entirely for your own benefit to see how you're progressing. Coursera classes don't count for college credit, but you get a certificate of completion.
Judging from the massive number of students, this particular course has struck a chord with video gamers. It's resonating worldwide too. Clayton says that only about 30 percent of his students are from the United States, where both he and Coursera are located. He said that about 40 percent of students are accessing it through internet cafes in places around the world including the city with the largest concentration of students: Sao Paolo, Brazil.
But for those students who either can't get online to play Lord of the Rings Online or aren't interested in playing an MMO, the course has a seperate track which allows you to skip all of that, and the lectures are designed so that prior knowledge of the game isn't necessary.
Think and reflect
"I've been living and breathing nothing else for months," said Clayton about the process of putting this massive course together and playing nothing but Lord of the Rings Online. "This has been an enormous undertaking. We started filming full-time in May, and I worked essentially full-time on it."
"It's staggeringly more work than I realized," he said. But despite all of the work, Clayton is pretty laid back when it comes to what students will get out of his hard work.
"I'm not so concerned about people mastering a skill or coming away with a specific comprehensive set of knowledge," he said. "I'm eager to have anybody learn whatever they want. It's a class about enhancement. People take the class voluntarily to think more and reflect more."
So if you'd like to think more and reflect more, you can still sign up for the course. Clayton didn't want to spoil any part of the work that takes place in the upcoming weeks, so there's plenty more waiting to be discussed in the land of Middle-Earth.

You will be emailed an admission ticket two to three weeks before the exam date. The exact time and location of the exam are printed on the ticket. You must bring the ticket with you to the exam on both days. In general, you must report to the testing facility by 12:30 pm on Friday and 8:30 am on Saturday. While every effort is made to use facilities within the city you listed on the application, facility availability, facility conditions and contingency plans may require use of a facility outside this city. CFP Board authorizes Prometric (exam administrator) to use exam site facilities within a sixty mile radius of this city if necessary.
The exam is a paper-pencil exam, administered in three sessions: one four-hour session Friday afternoon and two three-hour sessions on Saturday. You must report to the examination site no later than 12:30 pm Friday and 8:30 am Saturday. The exam will begin as soon as candidates have been checked in, seated, and the instructions read. No one will be admitted once the exam has begun. This is a timed exam, and any breaks you take during a test session are at your discretion; you will not receive any extra testing time to make up for those breaks. There is a one-hour lunch break between the second and third sessions on Saturday.
If you fail to appear for the exam, you will forfeit the entire exam fee. Certain allowances are made for medical or other emergencies.
CFP Board will consider waiving the fee forfeiture in the case of a medical or other emergency. Your request for such a waiver must be made in writing and supported by verifying documentation from a third party. For example, in the case of a medical emergency, a written statement from your physician which clearly states that you were physically unable to appear for the exam due to personal or immediate family medical issues is required. If another type of emergency, then you must provide third party verification for your late withdrawal notice or the reason you were unable to sit for the scheduled exam. Your request must be received within ten business days after the exam dates. Requests received after the ten business day timeframe, or not supported by verifying documentation, will not be reviewed. Requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis after the ten business day timeframe.
CFP Board does not offer a review course for the CFP® certification exam. However, for the convenience of those interested in pursuing certification, CFP Board has compiled list of exam review course providers. These courses and their providers are not endorsed or recommended by CFP Board. Additional exam review course providers can be found by searching online.

This is one of the few books that made me stop reading just so I could say "OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT", plus lots of swear words. But in the good way, if this is even possible. Truth is that there is no better way to say how amazing this book is. I had to try hard to stop reading it. It's just... amazing. Now THAT's a good way to tell a story.
I won't say anything about the story in this review and I'm glad I never read any summaries of this book before I decided to read it, because it would have spoiled all the fun. I'll just say that this books' pace is frenetic. Like The Hunger Games, it is quite easy to read and easy to understand. And there is just... so much going on. It's nearly impossible to put the book down.
Initially when I started Catching Fire I wasn't as impressed with it as I was the Hunger Games. It was good, but not as gripping, and took me forever to get around to continue the book. After about the 40% mark, the plot finally started picking up and by the end I was once again hooked.
I was starting to think where the hell is this plot going to go, but once Quarter Quell thing was introduced, I was thinking, oh lord not again, its repeating the plot of the first one. But the more I read, the more twisty the plot became. The writing is top notch, and the characters are becoming more and more developed (and now I'm Team Peeta!!).
At the end of the first book I wasn't that fussed about starting the second one immediately. It was more the fact that the movie was going to be released while I was on holiday that got me to read it and finish it before release day tomorrow. But after that ending I'm so glad I've got the next one ready and waiting.
Not quite as good as the first, but still pretty good.
I hoped this book would help make the end of the first more palatable. Instead, it made it worse. The premise of it seems based on what I hated about the end of the last book. If you're interested, read the end of my review here:
Now we're talking! Rebellion and unrest. Throwing fits about greed and pointing out how people are mistreated. If you have to have an underlying love triangle, well, I guess I can live with that.
There are still a few amateur bits. If I were reading it in workshop I would have used a big red pen on a few paragraphs that could have been better written. I'm also not so sure I like the way time passes in these books. Between two paragraphs an entire day can pass with barely a sentence to explain it. Literary whiplash.
Still, good book. Couldn't put it down. And what a way to end it.
Collins has done that rare thing. She has written a sequel that improves upon the first book. As a reader, I felt excited and even hopeful: could it be that this series and its characters were actually going somewhere?
Set down your worries about a sophomore slump. Suzanne Collins has rekindled the crackling tension of her 2008 smash novel, "The Hunger Games." Once again, Katniss Everdeen must fight for her life.
The author describes her wearing a series of Cher-worthy costumes in which she confronts poisonous mists, deranged monkeys, and a flock of ''candy pink'' birds equipped with long beaks used to skewer human necks. Great stuff, this. Unfortunately, such startling apparitions too quickly appear and disappear, baubles randomly affixed to a story that's been stretched to gossamer thinness.

The Miami Marlins finished up the second day of the winter meetings with a lot more buzz surrounding their possible trade assets in Yunel Escobar and Ricky Nolasco than their possible acquisitions...
It is official. The Miami Marlins have completed a trade sending Yunel Escobar to the Tampa Bay Rays for middle infield prospect Derek Dietrich, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times.

The Miami Marlins finished a relatively uneventful first day of the winter meetings, but it does not mean that there was not any news to discuss on the Fish front regarding Giancarlo Stanton's...
Ricky Nolasco's agent, Matt Sosnick, mentioned to ESPN's Jerry Crasnick that his client does not like the direction of the Miami Marlins organization and wants to be traded.
The Miami Marlins continue to shop current third baseman Yunel Escobar despite (or because of) his low salary and bounce back potential.
The Miami Marlins are still considering other additions to their 2013 team, as the club is rumored to be looking at center fielders for the roster, including Peter Bourjos of the Los Angeles Angels.

International Food Assistance
U.S. food aid, a vital component of U.S. overseas humanitarian assistance and foreign policy, is particularly important given todays environment of increasing frequency of emergencies and growing global food insecurity.
The United States is the largest donor of international food assistance. It has recently spent about $2 billion per year to provide international food assistance to food-insecure countries—in both emergency food assistance to avert humanitarian crises and development assistance to support agriculture and related sectors.
- U.S. food aid provides crucial life-saving calories, but food rations designed for short-term food insecurity may not provide adequate nutrition during longer-term food emergencies.
- The United States faces challenges in targeting specialized products designed for the most vulnerable groups, such as children under the age of 2, and maintaining quality controls throughout the supply chain.
- Funding development projects through the purchase, shipment, and sale of U.S. commoditiesa process known as monetizationis inefficient and can cause adverse market impacts.
- Weaknesses in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's oversight of the McGovern-Dole Food for Education Program limit its ability to ensure that the programs objectives are met.
- The U.S. government has set goals to improve the effectiveness of U.S. food aid and reach global targets for reducing hunger and malnutrition, but agencies efforts have been fragmented and uncoordinated.
As shown in the figure below, we reported that the inefficiency of the monetization process reduced funding available for development assistance projects by $219 million over a 3-year period.
Note: U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) data are from transactions the agency reported between fiscal years 2008 and 2010. U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) data are from transactions the agency reported between fiscal years 2007 and 2009.
