text: New Year's Resolutions That Fail Avoid These Healthy New Year's Resolutions by Jenny Sugar 1/01/14 21 Reactions 91 Shares Print 57 12 21 1 0 The first day of 2014 is here! For those of us who have fallen way off the healthy wagon, especially over the last few months, we have the opportunity to make a fresh start. Before you set your New Year's resolutions, know that there is a technique to being successful. Here are a handful of popular resolutions that, when gone about the wrong way, have the greatest possibility of failing. Source: Thinkstock To Lose 30 Pounds in Three Months What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 While weight-loss goals are commendable, making a high and unrealistic goal sets you up for failure. Instead of deciding on a huge long-term goal, set short-term goals by the month or even the day such as "lose four pounds by February," or "cut 250 calories per day." And when you reach your minigoals, be sure to celebrate them, and continue to set new ones to help you attain that big goal at the end of your weight-loss rainbow. Source: Thinkstock 1 / 5 To Join a Gym What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Is joining a gym on your list of 2014 goals? While a gym is a great place to work out, just signing the membership papers won't get you to exercise more. Make a specific fitness-related resolution so exercise happens, such as "I will exercise three times a week" or "I'll attend a Zumba class once a week." Specific, focused goals are more likely to happen and can jump-start other exercise goals. Source: Thinkstock 2 / 5 To Cut Out All Sugar What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Too much cake, candy, and cookies over the holidays can drive anyone to want to swear off sugar for good. But going extreme with your New Year's resolution and trying to completely cut out certain types of food like carbs, sugar, or dairy cold turkey on Jan. 1 might be too much for you to handle. If you know you have a sweet tooth or can't stay away from the bread basket, then make a resolution to cut back instead of eliminating. Allow yourself to indulge every once in a while; otherwise, you might end up binging and eating more than you would before you even made the resolution. Source: Thinkstock 3 / 5 To Eat Healthier What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Deciding to eat healthier is one of the best New Year's resolutions you can make — it's the broadness of the goal that is the issue. It's best to define that goal with smaller, more specific goals such as "to eat green veggies twice a day," or "to eat fruit instead of ice cream for my after-dinner treat." These defined goals will be easier to follow, making you more successful at your original goal of eating healthier. Source: Thinkstock 4 / 5 To Do Too Much What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When the first of the year rolls around, many of us want to ditch all our unhealthy ways and start fresh and new, but making too many goals all at once can be so overwhelming that within a week you'll want to throw in the towel. Talk about resolution overload! To increase your success, start with one goal, and once you stick with it for a few weeks, go ahead and add another goal — it's OK if not all your resolutions start exactly on the first day of the new year.

Issue Summary:
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act created the Electronic Health Records (EHR) Incentive Program. A majority of anesthesiologists will be deemed "eligible professionals" and thus theoretically eligible to receive the incentive payments for the "meaningful use" of EHRs. Because anesthesiologists were not initially intended to be deemed "eligible professionals" when the law was being debated, the meaningful use requirements do not reflect the typical practice of anesthesiology, making it difficult for anesthesiologists to achieve meaningful use based on the current requirements. Therefore, and as a direct result of ASA's advocacy efforts, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) created a hardship exemption for anesthesiologists in the EHR Incentive Program, which would exempt anesthesiologists from payment penalties that will begin in 2015. However, anesthesiologists do remain eligible for the incentives.
Under the program there are two categories of professionals, "hospital-based eligible professionals" and "eligible professionals". Hospital-based eligible professionals, despite the name, are actually not eligible to receive the incentive payments (and are exempt from future penalties) because the thinking was that they would use their hospital's EHR. To be deemed a hospital based eligible professional, one needs to provide 90 percent or more of their covered services in a hospital inpatient or emergency room setting. This is determined by looking at the place of service codes (POS codes) on all the codes one submits for payment under Medicare (21 for inpatient and 23 for ER). The majority of anesthesiologists do not provide 90% or more of their covered services in the hospital inpatient or ER setting unless one exclusively does cardiac, transplant or critical care work, which is rare. The majority of the codes submitted by anesthesiologists are for work done in the outpatient, ASC or office-based setting and therefore, by definition, most anesthesiologists will be deemed "eligible professionals" and thus technically eligible to receive incentive payments. In order to receive the incentive payments one needs to meaningfully use a "certified EHR."
The Hardship Exemption
The hardship exemption is determined automatically and annually based on a physician's specialty designation under the Provider, Enrollment, Chain and Ownership System (PECOS). Anesthesiology's specialty designation is 05. The hardship exemption opportunity could last up to five years; however, CMS could revisit the exemption before then. ASA has and will continue to advocate that this exemption be maintained.
Anesthesiologists may still attempt to become meaningful users and receive incentives, as the hardship exemption applies to the penalties. Receiving an incentive would override the automatic hardship exemption. For more information, please review, the ASA's Frequently Asked Questions document on Electronic Health Records.
ASA Action
ASA submitted formal comments to CMS in response to the EHR Incentive Program Stage 2 Proposed Rule, requesting that anesthesiologists be allowed to apply for a hardship exemption. As a direct result, CMS created a hardship exemption in the EHR Incentive Program Final Rule. Additionally, ASA has been continuing to advocate that the criteria to meet meaningful use be applicable to anesthesiologists. Recently, ASA submitted formal comments to the Health IT Policy Committee regarding their recommendations for Stage 3. ASA stressed the importance of maintaining the hardship exemption that allows anesthesiologists to avoid the penalties that could result from not being a "meaningful user" of health information technology. ASA had worked with policy makers in support of the exemption that was subsequently granted as part of the Stage 2 Final Rule.
As part of its formal comments, ASA supported the Health IT Policy Committee's recommendation to exclude specialists from the prevention reminder objective and to exclude eligible professionals who do not administer immunizations from the immunization objective. ASA also recommended excluding anesthesiologists from other requirements, including the clinical summary requirement, syndromic surveillance, e-communication with patients and computerized order entry for transfers of care objectives. ASA expressed support for allowing reporting to a registry as a menu objective. ASA also recommended additional flexibility for physicians who achieve a close percentage of the objectives.
Additionally, ASA worked with Congressman Diane Black on legislation that, if enacted into law, would ease anesthesiologists' participation in the EHR Incentive Program by exempting anesthesiologists from some of the criteria required to demonstrate meaningful use. These include: exempting anesthesiologists from providing clinical summaries to patients, exempting anesthesiologists from being required to provide patients with an electronic copy of their health information and exempting anesthesiologists and other eligible professionals from implementing drug to drug and drug to allergy interaction checks.

ASA has also sent a joint letter with the American College of Radiology and the College of American Pathologists.

Maybe, just maybe, all of this posturing over the 2014 payroll is really just setting the Yankees up for something bigger next offseason. RAB links us to some interesting news that might be part of the plan:
"We've had discussions with Cole (Hamels)," assistant Phillies general manager Scott Proefrock said during an appearance on Comcast SportsNet's Phillies Hot Stove on Tuesday night. "Right now, we're focused on a one-year deal."
Notice he said a one-year deal, not a multi-year extension, which means there's at least a decent chance that Hamels reaches free agency after the 2012 season. The Phillies obviously have money to spend, but re-signing him would give them 4 players with $20+ million salaries in 2014, which may be something only the Yankees can afford. I'm hoping that's the case, because if I was Brian Cashman, I'd give Cole Hamels a book full of signed blank checks to get him to come to New York.
- In case you missed it, MLB owners voted 29-1 to extend Bud Selig through the 2014 season, when he'll be 80 years old. Two questions: 1.) Which owner do you think voted no? 2.) How likely is it that the next commissioner will be young enough to NOT hike his pants up to his armpits?
- In a sign of just how slow this offseason has become, this was the seventh hit when I did a Google news search for New York Yankees:
Yankees Team Dentist Recovers Stolen Sports Memorabilia Through Craigslist Ad
How about that? I didn't even know they had a team dentist.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Caterpillar's Chief Financial Officer told Peoria Rotary members today that the Federal Government needs to find a bi-partisan long-range plan for the country's infrastructure.
Ed Rapp said America's crumbling highways and out of date seaports are hurting the competitiveness of the country. Caterpillar, he said, has increasingly headed to Canada for its overseas shipping needs.
Rapp said, "Eight of ten track type tractors are exported, but of that 20-billion dollars in shipping, thirty percent goes ttrough Canadian ports , because we can get itn out faster, through better ports at a lower cost. I think it's a sign of the disrepair of the U.S. infrastructure".
In fact, another Caterpillar executive says there's only one port in the U.S. that the new big container ships can get into, and that's the Port of Virginia because it's deep enough to take aircraft carriers.
Ed Rapp said the country needs comprehensive Transportation Infrastructure bill, and pointed to hiking the federal gasoline tax as a revenue source.

An early-morning fire destroyed three downtown businesses Sunday in north suburban Evanston, leaving store owners uncertain about the future of their shops.
The blaze began in the ceiling of the Pine Yard Restaurant, 1033 Davis St., at about 2:20 a.m., said Evanston Fire Department Division Chief Tom Janeteske.
It then spread to other businesses — TechniCoulour Nail & Day Spa and Taco Diablo — all in the same building.
Officials are investigating the cause of the fire.
Wheel & Sprocket Bike Shop, located next to Taco Diablo, had water and smoke damage, Janeteske said. All of the businesses were closed at the time of the fire.
Various fire departments, including Evanston, Skokie and Morton Grove, responded soon after, Janeteske said.
By late Sunday morning several firefighters were still on the scene, extinguishing hot spots and assessing the charred buildings.
The smell of burnt metal carried along Davis Street as morning brunch-goers stopped periodically to look and take pictures.
"It's a beautiful building. You have to rebuild — and that's what we'll do," said George Radaios, 66, who has co-owned the building with his brother for 25 years.
Simon Wen, owner of the Pine Yard, an Evanston mainstay since the early 1970s, bought the business seven months ago.
He doesn't know how much the damage will cost him, but hopes he can eventually rebuild his restaurant.
"They were all old customers — and the sons and daughters of old customers — who had been coming there for years," he said. "If I can reopen, I will."
Evanston Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl said she'd been a "longtime customer" of the Pine Yard and thinks the damaged businesses will bounce back soon.
"Those stores have a great synergy and they're important to the neighborhood. We'll do whatever we can to help them rebuild," she said.
One Evanston firefighter suffered an ankle injury while battling the blaze, and was taken to Evanston Hospital, Evanston spokeswoman Martha Logan said in a statement.
Twelve animals were also evacuated from nearby Bramer Animal Hospital, at 1021 Davis St., she said.
No other injuries were reported.

By Doug Ireland
---- — BRENTWOOD — One by one, they took the stand; some sobbed while others fought back tears.
The eight relatives of Richard Mannion Jr. of Sandown pleaded with Rockingham Superior Court Judge Marguerite Wageling Dec. 28 to give Nicole LeBlanc of Londonderry a life prison sentence for shooting and killing the father of four they so dearly loved.
But LeBlanc, 39, of 37 Olde Country Village was sentenced to 35 years to life, with a chance for parole, for murdering her 43-year-old former boyfriend in his home Jan. 14. Mannion was found in his bed with a fatal gunshot wound to the head.
Wageling sentenced LeBlanc on a second-degree murder charge as part of a plea bargain reached with the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office, which prosecuted the case.
LeBlanc, shackled and dressed in a prison jumpsuit, said little in court and did not apologize to the victim's family. She looked down as Mannion's family addressed the judge, her long black hair covering her face.
If convicted at trial on the original first-degree murder charge, the Londonderry mother faced life in prison without parole. Any other sentence for LeBlanc would not be enough, Mannion's family told the judge.
"Hopefully, you will get life — you don't deserve anything less," read the letter from his mother, Tricia Mannion. "You are a heartless monster and don't deserve to live."
An emotional Tricia Mannion stood and listened as a representative from the Attorney General's Office read what she had written.
Richard Mannion Jr.'s two daughters and one of his two sons told the judge how much they missed their father. They were joined by his father, uncle, sister and former wife — among the approximately 20 friends and family members in the courtroom.
"Nicole, you didn't just take away one life, you took pieces away from everyone," said his teenage daughter Nicolette, who called him "Papa Bear." "I didn't know anything could hurt this much. Nothing will ever be the same."
Family members told of how Mannion loved life, especially the outdoors.
His father, Richard Mannion Sr., also criticized the proposed sentence.
"I can't accept it all," he said. "I can't accept a second-degree murder plea at all."
The victim's ex-wife, Shannon Emerson, told of how LeBlanc tried to console her and family members after Mannion's death. LeBlanc even posted online messages on Mannion's online obituary, relatives said.
Wageling said she sympathized with the family and what they had been through.
"The details of the homicide are gruesome," the judge said. "Ms. LeBlanc you deserve every single day of this sentence."
Wageling accepted the sentence recommended by Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinckley. He said LeBlanc suffered from mental illness and had attempted suicide at least twice.
Hinckley described how the discovery of Mannion's body by a girlfriend in his Hollow Oak Road home led them to LeBlanc, who had known him for about a year before he broke off the relationship between the two several months before his death.
But LeBlanc refused to stay away from him despite a court order. Two months before the shooting, LeBlanc pleaded guilty to assaulting Mannion on Aug, 18, 2011.
No details of the assault were released, but the case was placed on file without a finding for six months. LeBlanc, freed on $5,000 personal recognizance bail, was ordered to stay away from Mannion for at least 90 days.
Hinckley told of how LeBlanc stole a pistol from a friend, Dennis Johnson of Hollis, and used it to shoot the Gulf War veteran as he slept after breaking into his home.
Johnson agreed to cooperate with prosecutors, wearing a body wire that tape-recorded a conversation with LeBlanc that revealed she killed Mannion.
LeBlanc's sentence allows her to petition the court to have five years suspended from her sentence if she earns a bachelor's degree and stays out of trouble for 10 years.

As part of these "Color Theory" posts, I'm going to focus on different ranges of color each week. This week, I'll begin with cool colors, showing you how to decorate with specific colors, how to use color in small spaces, and how to paint and upholster with color. I'm kicking this off with one color I'm really loving lately: turquoise! Take a look at how you can decorate with this greenish-blue hue. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Light turquoise has a really oceanic vibe to it. By pairing it with white and off-white, you can give your home a beachy, postcard-perfect look. Source: Flickr User Posh Living, LLC 1 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Soft turquoise hues are also really playful. Painting your ceiling beams or simple stripes of the color can create a pleasantly surprising room. If the space is for adults, try to use more conservative lighting and other accessories so it doesn't look too whimsical. Source: Flickr User tbridge 2 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Turquoise mixes beautifully with other cool colors. Try pairing with purple accents and a neutral base. If you're using solid turquoise, you can add intrigue by creating texture with pleats and folds. Source: Flickr User godutchbaby 3 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A pop of hi-gloss turquoise creates a lively statement. You can easily make over any old accessory or furnishing with a can of spray paint, and it juxtaposes beautifully with more reserved, handsome pieces. Source: Flickr User back_garage 4 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Turquoise with deeper green tones is really sharp and masculine. It mixes well with soft yellows and warm browns. Source: Flickr User luce_beaulieu 6 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Vibrant turquoise is a nice foil to moody reds. Add worn wood surfaces for a Western arts and crafts look. If you can't commit to painting your walls turquoise, sometimes a painted door is really all you need. Source 6 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you can commit, and you've chosen a brighter hue, try to tame your turquoise by painting only accent walls and mixing in white and stainless steel. Source 7 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A deep, richer, greener turquoise looks wonderful with gold. If you choose a patterned turquoise as a focal point, use solids for your other accent colors. If you want to use more pattern, keep it simple and monochrome in black and white. Photo by Mark Lund 8 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 My favorite place to use turquoise is in the bathroom because it has a dreamy, sea vibe. You can't go wrong with walls or floors of small turquoise tiles. Source 9 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you want to dress your entire room in turquoise, resist the temptation to bring in a lot of pattern. Instead, use small doses of patterned turquoise such as on seat cushions, art, and pillows, and use solids for large surfaces like drapery and sofas.

" Brand: St. Tropez / Type: Body Wash/Cleanser / Subcategory: Mousse / Tan / Contents: 120ml / Skin type: for all types / What it does: Cleanses, Tans, "
* Prices may differ from that shownMore Offers
I am normally quite happy with St Tropez products, but I found that this one was a let down. It took quite a lot of days to build up a noticeable colour, but then again I do have quite dark skin (Spanish olive), which meant that I had to use up quite a lot, causing it to be an expensive product. As well as this, I found that my hands went extremely orange, and I would have to wash them after I applied the gradual tan, which would mean that my hands are a different colour to the rest of my body. I also found that areas such as my elbows and ankles and knees were much darker than the rest of my body, almost glowing orange, not giving a natural tan look, but looking quite shocking. By the time I did reach a colour I thought was okay, some parts were so orange that I had to scrub off the rest of the colour. Overall, the product may be okay if you were paler skinned, and if you didn't mind having an uneven tan!
St. Tropez Gradual Tan Mousse is the best self tanner I have come across. I have very fair skin and this mousse gives me a lovely healthy looking glow. The mousse is so easy to apply and sinks into the skin quickly so no hanging around to get dressed. I don't really mind the smell and it definately doesn't linger unlike other self tans I have used.
My top tip would be to exfoliate well before applying so that you get an even coverage. Also, if you are not using mitts to apply the mousse make sure to wash your hands thoroughly immediately after applying. I usually apply before I go to bed as it is so quick and easy to absorb into the skin.
St Tropez is one of the more expensive brands on the market but in my opinion it is definatlely the most natural looking for paler skins. If you are looking for a really dark tan it may not be for you although I am sure it comes in light to dark shades so there will probably be a shade to suit darker skin tones.
For me, this keeps my skin looking very natural and sunkissed and nobody would know how pasty white I really am!
I can honestly say I could not be without this product in my bathroom, all year round.
I have used the product recently and found it has an awful biscuit fake tan smell associated with it. It does however give a great colour on the first application and is streak free. It is a great product if you just wish a light tan. The colour does not fade with showering/bathing and does last about a week. It is probably overpriced cheaper bottles do exist out there and have the same smell and give the same streak free coverage.
St / Tropez Everyday Gradual Tan Mousse is a super light-weight mousse that simply glides on to give all skin types a gorgeous touch of self tan / Infused with conditioning aloe vera, you'll get a natural looking, golden colour for effortless glamour, every day / The St / Tropez innovative Aromaguard fragrance technology eliminates the tell-tale self tan aroma by a minimum of 70% and instead gives a beautiful subtle, yet refreshing fragrance / Golden Rules: Exfoliate with St Tropez Body Polish before moisturising dry areas thoroughly with St Tropez Body Moisturiser (elbows, knees, ankles and feet) / Then pump St / Tropez Everyday Gradual Tan Mousse into your palm and sweep it from top to toe / Don't worry if you go over the same area twice, it's only missed patches that can look uneven / Wait for a minute or two for the mousse to be absorbed before getting dressed / Use daily for a subtle golden boost to winter pale or sun-tanned skin / St / Tropez recommend a patch test is carried out at least 24 hours prior to use / If there are any adverse reactions do not continue to use / Don't apply to broken, irritated or sensitive skin and stop using if your skins becomes irritated /

Report: Former Bears coach Lovie Smith interested in Cardinals job
Andy Reid, Ray Horton and Mike McCoy either have or are scheduled to interview with the team, and Bill O'Brien has also been rumored to be a candidate.
One name that has not been brought up is that of former Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith, though apparently not due to a lack of interest from the coach himself.
"Lovie Smith is targeting two places I'm told with strong defensive personnel," NFL.com's Ian Rappaport said on NFL Network's "NFL Total Access" Monday night. "One is Buffalo, I think that'd be an option, and Lovie Smith is also very interested in the Arizona Cardinals.
"Another team with a fierce defensive personality, and of course, more quarterback questions."
Smith was let go by the Bears after the team posted a 10-6 record this season. They missed the playoffs after starting the season, which likely prompted the move. Smith spent nine seasons in the Windy City, posting an 81-63 mark. The Bears won the NFC North three times and represented the NFC in Super Bowl XLI.

I want to thank each and every one of you for your time volunteering to be an E-Advocate with the Arthritis Foundation. Every time we answer an email request, our voices are heard in unison. Together, we make a difference in the amount of attention arthritis receives in Congress and in the population at large. Together, we can attain our goals.
I would like each and every one of you to participate and spread the word about our walk on May 18th. Some of you may not be able to physically walk, but we can still work together and fundraise for the walk. Any contribution you can make, monetary, your time, your presence or your team, we would be grateful. Traverse City is a very northern locale and we do not have the population of lower Michigan to draw upon. We are limited in this way. Therefore, we all need to make an extra special effort to reach our goals. I realize our area is still reeling from the recession and we have a lot of poverty in our area. I am not asking for riches, we are asking to make a difference for the children and young adults who suffer from this terrible autoimmune disease. The funds collected are important to the children who participate in the Arthritis Foundation camp.
The children go to a summer camp and have a camp experience like no other. They are able to commune with other children who have the disease. It has been shown that peer support is the most important thing in dealing with acceptance of a chronic disease. This opportunity is an important experience for these children. To be able to describe your feelings without judgment to another suffering can release the emotional baggage some may carry. Children will feel the same but lack the capacity to fully articulate their feelings. The camp experience can be so helpful yet costly to some families. I feel this is the one reason on the top of my list of why I am an Ambassador for the Arthritis Foundation. I wanted to make a difference for the children.
I have attended the summit in Washington, DC, chaired our walk in a previous year and have been an Ambassador for many years now. I know I make a difference with every task we are asked to perform, every penny raised and every time I spread the goals of the Foundation via blog, email, Facebok or any social media. I have walked the halls of Congress on behalf of the foundation.
I am asking for each of you to form a team, fundraise, volunteer or spread the word about our walk on May 18th. Every voice is important and we need you. It cannot get any better than the walk along the bay in Traverse City. Share the beauty of our region. We will have refreshments and an advocacy booth at the walk . I will be at the booth for advocacy and hope to see each of you on the 18th. I can answer questions or sign you up for advocacy on behalf of the Arthritis Foundation. I will have lots of information at the booth for those who wish to contribute their free time for the Foundation. It is a wonderful thing to know you made a difference with a few keystrokes but let's step it up a notch and participate for this worthy cause.

"We are the creditors!," insist African social activists victimized by the ongoing Third World debt crisis, but now gathered to fight back.
And they are right, particularly when we consider how much the North has looted from the South in ecological terms.
In early August, the Africa chapters of Jubilee South converged in Nairobi to debunk limited "debt relief" by Northern powers and to plan the next stage of financial campaigning. This week in Johannesburg, the revival of Jubilee South Africa in a major conference is partly based upon members' attention to the reverse debt owed by big capital for environmental damage.
Ecological debt is now an especially important concept for our collective future, as a new official simulation of the disastrous coming impact of rising sea levels on Cape Town creates similar concerns for us here in Durban.
Who should pay for mitigating global warming and adaptation? After all, hedonistic Northern Hemisphere financial agencies (especially the World Bank), corporations, governments and consumers made most of the greenhouse gas mess.
Yet Africans will clean up after the party they didn't go to, and pay mightily in the process: increased droughts and floods will leave potentially 90% of the continent's food producers at risk by 2100, according to the main UN climate body.
That bill should now be reckoned and invoiced, to recover roughly two trillion dollars worth of ecological credits given unwillingly to industrial countries each year, for their illegitimate occupation of too much global "Environmental Space."
According to the leading scientist in the field, Autonomous University of Barcelona's Joan Martinez-Alier, ecological debt takes many forms:
"nutrients in exports including virtual water, the oil and minerals no longer available, the biodiversity destroyed, sulphur dioxide emitted by copper smelters, the mine tailings, the harms to health from flower exports, the pollution of water by mining, the commercial use of information and knowledge on genetic resources, when they have been appropriated gratis ('biopiracy'), and agricultural genetic resources."
As for the North's "lack of payment for environmental services or for the disproportionate use of Environmental Space," Martinez-Alier criticizes "imports of solid or liquid toxic waste, and free disposal of gas residues (carbon dioxide, CFCs, etc)."
The sums involved are potentially vast. The founder of ecofeminism, Vandana Shiva, and the South Center's Yash Tandon estimate that seed biopiracy "contributes some $66 billion annually to the US economy."
Another $75 billion is effectively donated by the South to the North each year through mopping up carbon emissions in tropical forests, according to the UN.
A 2005 study commissioned by the Edmonds Institute and African Center for Biosafety identified nearly three dozen cases of biopiracy, such as a diabetes drug produced by a Kenyan microbe; antibiotics from a Gambian termite hill; an antifungal from a Namibian giraffe; the South African and Namibian indigenous appetite suppressant Hoodia; and drug addiction treatments in kombo butter from Central and West Africa.
Jubilee South Africa is focusing on the damage done by platinum mining in Northwest and Limpopo provinces, especially by AngloPlats, which exports profits from nonrenewable resource extraction to London shareholders in spite of intense community protest.
Another Jubilee campaign supports the Wild Coast's Amadiba Crisis Committee against the upcoming titanium grab by Australia's Mineral Resource Commodities. In now familiar African National Congress crony-capitalist style, the firm has full support from SA minerals and energy minister Buyelwa Sonjica, who last Friday launched a bizarre attack in the town of Xolobeni upon South Africa's most heroic eco-lawyer, Richard Spoor.
In all these ways, ecological debt is now being tabulated. Promising a wave of formal debt audits across the continent, Nairobi-based Africa Jubilee South co-coordinator Njoki Njehu concluded, "Africa and the rest of the Global South are owed a huge historical and ecological debt for slavery, colonialism, and centuries of exploitation."
Njehu says Jubilee's challenge as it rebuilds is to link issues as diverse as food sovereignty, climate change, trade and EU Economic Partnership Agreements and continuing debt bondage. "From the initial 13 countries that participated in the Jubilee South founding conference in Johannesburg in 1999, the Africa Jubilee South network has grown to organizations and movements from 29 countries."
As an interim step to winning moral and legal liability for ecological debt, as well as all the historical injustices Njehu refers to, one of the clearest cases remains apartheid profiteering. Jubilee South Africa promotes the strategy discussed in the last ZCommentary (8 July), suing a half-dozen multinational corporations for reparations using the Alien Tort Claims Act.
Following a postponement of that lawsuit from July, the New York Southern District court takes it up again late next month. Brutus will again be in New York for the Khulumani/Jubilee case. These firms need a strong legal signal so they desist from investing in repressive regimes like Burma, Zimbabwe and the Sudan.
We raised the matter with SA deputy foreign minister Aziz Pahad at a parliamentary seminar hosted by our University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) last month. Pahad, a long-time ally of outgoing president Thabo Mbeki, sounded concerned, but made no commitment to dislodge his own government's anti-reparations alliance with George W. Bush, Gordon Brown, Angela Merkel and the corporations.
Will our own base for this sort of work, the UKZN Center for Civil Society (CCS), continue to exist? We think so, in spite of a closure announcement made by university authorities on July 30. In response, the Faculty Board responsible for humanities, development studies and social sciences voted overwhelmingly (33-1) on August 13 to save the Center.
The reason given for the proposed closure is that our staff (aside from the director, Patrick, who has a tenured chair) do not have "permanent"
funding. But neither do most of the university's research units, and there is money in CCS reserves for at least a couple of years plus ongoing donor support for many of our projects.
UKZN has some major challenges; an internal report recorded an environment of "intimidation and bullying", in which management "deploys power rather than intellect", as Rhodes University professor Jimi Adesina put it.
A five-month University Research Review finalized in February advocated strengthening CCS and giving it more autonomy: "Closing down or removing CCS from UKZN does not appear to be an option as it was rejected by all interviewees and panel members. Through its international recognition and standing, CCS has put UKZN on a world map in social science, a position the University dare not risk to lose."
As for the local map, CCS has offered nearly 100 free events a year, including seminars, conferences, micro film festivals, literary celebrations and the Harold Wolpe Lecture, Durban's main lecture series.
Several hundred community residents join academics on the last Thursday of each month to debate newsmakers and intellectuals global and local.
Amongst those known to Z readers would be Soweto activist Trevor Ngwane, filmmaker John Pilger, Mugabe torture victim Grace Kwinjeh, Kenyan novelist Ng?g? wa Thiong'o, British MP George Galloway, Archbishop Njongonkulu Ndungane and authors Tariq Ali, Giovanni Arrighi, Walden Bello, Naomi Klein, Mahmood Mamdani and Arundhati Roy.
With CCS's assistance, the Social Movements Indaba network and Diakonia Council of Churches hosted a local World Social Forum event in January, drawing 400 community and labor leaders. Among those present were activists who resisted dam displacement, Treatment Action Campaigners who won anti-retroviral medicines, Congolese inner-city traders who hang in against all odds, the Abasha Youth network, eThekwini Earthlife Africa, the indominable South Durban Community Environmental Alliance and the Maritzburg eco-NGO groundWork.
In addition to the threat to CCS public events and a generation of new critical scholars, a great deal of concrete research activity was put at risk. The message you hear if put on hold when phoning UKZN tells you that the university has South Africa's "second best" research profile (after Univ. of Pretoria). A modest contribution comes from our CCS staff's peer-reviewed articles, chapters and books – 58 in 2007 with an average 50/year since 2005 (and no, these fortnightly Mercury columns don't count) – which rank us at the top of the university, measured per academic employee.
High productivity arises from documenting and interrogating the dynamic social laboratories of Durban, SA, the rest of Africa and the world, where contradictions generated by globalization and the flawed character of post-colonial politics create cauldrons of conflict.
We have sought sites and research areas – climate, energy, water/sanitation, global and national political economy, survival strategies and community philanthropy, the rise of social movements in Africa – where these contradictions tell us more about society, politics, economy, gender, race, environment and other social relations than we would normally get from our academic armchairs.
The danger of CCS's approach to knowledge production, "praxis", is that the research generated sometimes threatens the privileges of power, as we discovered when the national government and Johannesburg municipality appealed to the High Court last December to throw out Bond's detailed affidavits about water privatization. In his landmark decision in April, Judge Moroa Tsoka instead declared that government had failed its citizens and prohibited Joburg Water's discriminatory prepayment systems, in the process doubling the free water Sowetans are granted.
So this is really all about politics, and whether a university can host a critical mass of professional academics and community scholars devoted to social justice.
Two years ago, UKZN banned the radical writer Dr Ashwin Desai from continuing employment at CCS, amidst a haze of confusion and weak excuses. We lost a major SA government Human Sciences Research Council "Race and Redress" grant as a result of this interference.
CCS founder Adam Habib spoke out against the Iraq War in 2003 and the US government retracted funding Habib had raised. Moreover, Habib was labeled a 'terrorist' and barred from entering the US during a 2006 trip to New York (more about the absurd case is here:
http://www8.georgetown.edu/centers/cdacs/DemocracyAndSocietyS08.pdf and http://www.aclu.org/safefree/exclusion/35313res20070925.html).
So if a couple of people in management stab this Center, as happened on July 30, it cannot be allowed to die. The university vice-chancellor has said that academics should decide the matter, hence the 33-1 vote for retaining CCS may be decisive.
But it might not be: byzantine layers of university bureaucracy may still suffocate our small place of non-conformism in coming weeks.
Pessimists predict death-by-a-thousand-cuts.
Supporters who have chimed in with testimonials about CCS -
http://www.ukzn.ac.za/ccs/default.asp?2,68,3,1584 – include South African trade unions, social movements and community groups, scholar-activists from the Global South, and also Northern hemisphere analysts who rely on our website for South Africa reporting, including Dean Baker, Beverly Bell, Robert Brenner, Alex Callinicos, Kevin Danaher, Doug Henwood, Deborah James, Joel Kovel, Anne-Maria Makhulu, Daria Roithmayr, Vicente Navarro, Immanuel Wallerstein and Rob Weissman.
For those who would offer a sentence or two about CCS – criticism is welcome too – we'll take these at [email protected] and post them as soon as possible.

Run for Chuck - ING NYC Marathon by !!!RUN FOR CHUCK - ING NYC MARATHON!!! - 10 months ago
"This year I ran the ING New York City Marathon in memory of my grandfather who passed away in December after a long struggle with Alzheimer's after an otherwise very vibrant life. My family and friends who we're very impacted by the disease really enjoyed uniting around 'Run for Chuck' and raising money for Alzheimer's care. It was an unforgettable race and a great day with friends and family. I'm sure my grandfather enjoyed watching from up above. This shot is in central park close to the finish line after the race. "

Well, I'm pretty sure not many people saw that coming. Muay Thai striker Cyrille Diabate is known for pinpoint striking, but he ended up finishing Chad Griggs by choke in their UFC 154 light heavyweight bout. After dropping Griggs and bumbling around with him for a while, he sunk a rear naked choke and got the tap. It was actually Diabate's sixth career submission victory. The finish came at 2:24 of the first.
Griggs tried to come forward and attack with kicks right away, but Diabate quickly leveled him with a big shot. Diabate jumped into side control, but got briefly reversed by Griggs. Diabate go back on top though, and landed some strikes. Griggs was bleeding profusely from the nose. Diabate landed two big knees to the head. The two men grappled against the cage, and Griggs dragged Diabate back down. But Diabate stayed stuck to Griggs' back and finished the fight with a rear naked choke.
Griggs dropped to 0-2 in the UFC, and 0-1 as a light heavyweight. Diabate improved to 4-2 in the UFC with the win.

With two kids and one on the way, a Shreveport mother managed to get everyone out of the house as it went up in flames.
It took just 10 minutes of Monday's morning for Shreveport Firefighters to get under control a blaze in the back bedroom of a house in the 1400 block of Camille Street.
Homeowner and parent Alvin Okray says, "That could have been my child." The mother declined to talk with KSLA News 12 after the day's events.
Okray's children weren't' in the bedroom at the time. His wife was giving them a bath. What the flames didn't destroy, smoke and water did. Okray says all of it can be replaced.
"I'm just really blessed to see my kids. They were safe."
The other rooms in the house didn't have as much damage. Okray and his family are hoping they don't have to start completely over.
"We're trying to salvage what we can salvage. We have a storage, a small storage. We weren't able to salvage much but we're going to work with what we got," says Okray's father-in-law.
Okray says they did not have renters insurance so everything they lost. They will have to replace on their own dime. But he says first priority is finding a new place to call home.
"We're going to be looking for another place to live. Until then, we're going to be living place to place."
While the Okray family believes the fire started from an electrical problem in the back bedroom, the exact cause of the blaze has yet to be determined. The Shreveport Fire Department is investigating.

PHILADELPHIA -- The Phillies, with the help of veteran outfielder Juan Pierre and Citizens Bank, launched the Helping Hands Glove Donation Program at Citizens Bank Park on Wednesday.
For the remainder of the Phillies' season, baseball fans are asked to drop off new or gently used baseball gloves at the Citizens Bank kiosk in Ashburn Alley at the ballpark (behind the seats in right-center field) to aid children involved with the Phillies Jr. RBI League, which started in 1989 and helps more than 7,000 local children between the ages of six and 12.
The league encourages inner-city kids to play baseball and softball and, in the process, "learn the basics of teamwork and sportsmanship."
Citizens Bank has participated since 2002, purchasing and collecting more than 4,000 gloves for the league.
"It's a great program to get inner-city kids involved," Pierre said. "I've always been a part of it ever since I've been in the big leagues, sponsoring kids, just to get them back to playing baseball. You've got coaches like this that volunteer their time to be father figures in some of these kids' lives and do that type of thing, which is important. I can't say enough about it."
Wednesday's event featured Pierre, six children and two coaches from the Oaklane Phillies Jr. RBI League, Phillies play-by-play broadcaster Tom McCarthy, Citizens Bank senior vice president and director of public affairs Henri Moore and the Phillie Phanatic, who arrived fashionably late on his red Phillies four-wheeler.
"We couldn't do half the things that we do here in Philadelphia at Citizens Bank Park without the great folks of Citizens Bank," McCarthy said.
"We are so glad to be a part of this celebration," Moore said. "We are all so happy to be here to reward these kids these gloves, and hopefully they're going to grow up one day to be Juan Pierre. That's what we're hoping for."
The glove donations began at the launch and continued through Wednesday's Phillies-Nationals game. Pierre, for one, was happy to be a part of it.
"Any time I can be on board to help," Pierre said. "I'm always around to help. It's a great thing that they're doing here. And Philly also -- I've heard they've been helping for years and years and still helping, so that's great for the city of Philadelphia."

Every year, people are invited to camp out at Pompey's Pillar one weekend out of the year. It's called Clark Days, and this year, there's something a little different from previous years.
"What Clark Days is, is a way for us to sort of talk about and teach people about the history of Yellowstone County and more specifically, Clark's visit here over 200 years ago on July 25th, 1806," says Pompey's Pillar Monument Manager, Jeff Kitchens. "Last year, what we did was we really celebrated public lands in general and the history of public lands. And this year, what we're really celebrating is the Native American heritage and history of this site."
That includes playing traditional Native American games and making dream catchers.
"Definitely fun and educational. Just because they see both the Native American side and the Lewis and Clark Expedition. So, kids trying to get them into history is not easy, and this is a good way to do that," said Scott Schuster, who came to this year's Clark Days for the second year in a row.
Though you can learn about history where ever you are, Kitchens says this history lesson is unlike any other.
"You're not going to find any that focus solely on Lewis and Clark like this every year and do a lot of the fun and excitement that we have," said Kitchens.
Even though Clark Days has come to an end, there are several programs to learn from at the center every day during summer.

'Scandal' recap: Season 3, Episode 4, 'Say Hello to My Little Friend'
This week's "Scandal" is ripped from America's headlines: Senator Meyers (Patrick Fabian) is caught texting pictures of his privates to a young woman. If the producers were really mimicking the Anthony Weiner debacle, though, they'd have made the Senator's last name Penis. He does use a great pseudonym in his texts, however: "Redwood Johnson." Unfortunately, the woman he messaged, Desiree Oaks, wound up dead. Double unfortunate: her name also sounds like a pseudonym for privates.
Pope and Associates take him on as a client, because they believe he didn't kill Oaks — his wife (Melora Hardin) was with him at the time of the murder. But then: several more women also read saucy texts under oath, including one that ends, "…until they hit you in the face," which everyone in court seems to agree and accept makes no sense. Truly, if we learned anything from Anthony Weiner's scandal, it's this: Where there is one dick pic, there will be more. We don't think it ends in the court room. We're keeping our radar on for the rest of this recap.
Will we see one in Liv's apartment?
The episode opens with Jake Ballard (Scott Foley) and Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) arguing. He says she's not safe around her father, evil commander of the CIA's secret group of assassins, who most recently tortured Jake. But Liv is too terrified to fight or run, choosing instead to return to daddy's arms. She sends Jake away, saying, "I've never heard of you," which does sound like a reply to a sext, but is clearly not a request for one. All clear here; we'll keep looking.
Will it be in the White House?
At a press conference, Mellie Grant (Bellamy Young) says nice things about Josephine Marcus (Lisa Kudrow!), a Democratic Congresswoman who will run against President Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) in the next election. But afterward, Mellie says not nice things about the congresswoman — into a live microphone.
Cyrus fumes, producing newspapers with "New York Daily News" style headline puns — "Worst Lady!" — and explaining that Marcus's approval rating is up. He forces Mellie to apologize, but it's clear her feud with Marcus isn't over. So: Mellie got busted spreading naughty words, yes, but not pictures. The hunt continues.
Will we find one at an AA meeting?
Quinn follows Huck to Alcoholics Anonymous, and since she knows that when he says "whiskey" he means "torturing and killing people", he's annoyed to see her. But seriously, he's obsessed: We see him later spying on the funeral of the guy he killed — Foster, the rogue retired military guy who ran through the White House shouting "Operation Remington" in the last episode. It's unclear whether Huck feels remorse or is looking for more people to kill.
But it turns out Quinn is the creepy one: she asks Huck about the murder, curious how he angled the blades to make it look like suicide. And then Huck freaks, demanding she stop asking questions before its too late, before she's also addicted to killing. Whoah. Scary. Definitely no sexting here.
Maybe we'll see one back in the court room?
Liv convinces the Senator's wife to testify (she'd run away after the great unearthing of naughty messages). Their new strategy is to tell the truth: She hates her husband. It works, gaining her credibility with the jury so they believe she was with him at the time of the murder. The jurors deliver a not-guilty verdict. But then the senator tells Liv his wife wasn't with him that night, and Liv figures it out: The wife did it! …murdered Desiree Oaks, I mean…not sent the dick pics…that would too convoluted even for network television.
Let's see, what else?
• David tells Abby he's done with their on-again off-again romance.
• Jake and Huck discover Foster's secret mission — and that President Fitz had also been there.
• Congresswoman Lisa Kudrow had a teen pregnancy, which Cyrus will definitely use against her.
• Your weekly reminder that Fitz once killed an old woman in chemo.
• And Cyrus tells Fitz to back away from the Foster problem lest people investigate his own involvement, "And we all know what's at the bottom of that cracker-jack box." Ooo! A dick pic? Is it a picture of someone's business? Because I knew there'd be another– Never mind, he's talking about Operation Remington.
Okay, so I was wrong.
Wait a minute…hold on…did Abby just…yes, she texted David a picture of her vagina! Hooray: I knew it. By Anthony Weiner, I knew it wasn't over. It's never over.
Episode grade: A-
Next week: Fitz confronts evil daddy Pope about Operation Remington. And Olivia deals with having made out with Jake again. Future illicit cellular images unknown.
