"A path in the forest" installation by Tetsuo Kondo
"A Path in the Forest", an installation designed by a talented Japanese architect Tetsuo Kondo, offers a chance to experience the installation traditions of the unique contemporary Japanese architecture. The 95 meter long path that runs between the trees is supported by a steel tube that stands by itself and leans against the trees just a little.
"We don't look at the trees from underneath but we get closer to the leaves and slide through the branches", explains Tetsuo Kondo. "I have tried to create this work in a way as if the trees would have been created for this installation".

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

A ordinance regarding stray cats is up for proposal in Radnor.
It was the talk of the town tonight as the ordinance has been in the works and fought for almost two years.
The ordinance states that if you feed a stray cat with any regularity, you are then responsible for it---getting the cat vaccinated and you must put a collar on it.
Some residents were for the proposal.
Theresa Rage stated, "I love cats but I can't imagine enforcing an ordinance like that...maybe it's a way to help people care for stray cats but don't really wanna take it in."
Donald Curley, Radnor Township member of the Board of Commissioners, supports the ordinance and addresses it as a public health issue.
"The driving force is rabies...there has been an increase in rabies in the northeast and in this region in particular and this is what the board came up with," said Curley.
Some residents say that they see stray cats on a trail off of Lancaster Avenue, but some people say the ordinance is not practical.
"How are they gonna enforce it...some people better watch out!!"
The Township held public hearing on the issue in April. It is back on the boards agenda on May 13th.

SPRINGFIELD (AP) - Springfield is moving on to the second phase of its casino selection process.
The city announced Thursday that all three developers proposing casino plans for the city have been prequalified after submitting Phase I applications. They are MGM Resorts, Penn National Gaming and Ameristar Casinos.
The companies will now be asked to submit more detailed applications under Phase II of the process, which must include detailed site plans, projections of economic benefits to the city and state, and estimates of jobs the project will create.
Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno appointed a seven-member advisory committee Thursday to help review applications.
Sarno intends to pick one - or possibly more - proposals to put before voters for approval next year.

Grinding Gear Games
A world of (literally) killer jewelry, and no two Witches alike: PAR plays Path of Exile
Path of Exile is an Action RPG that pulls from Diablo, Dungeon Siege, and H.P. Lovecraft to create the unique, dark, and deadly world of Wraeclast. The Report spoke with Chris Wilson, CEO of developer Grinding Gear Games, and Erik Olofsson, Path of Exile art director last week, but one question was left unanswered. How does it play? Path of Exile is currently in beta. Still, the game is a remarkably polished piece of work; this doesn't feel like an indie project made in someone's spare time. Path of Exile is a modern, well-rounded and creative game that may be ready to compete with the big boys.
I am Galstaff, sorcerer of light
You'll start the game by choosing a class. Each class is centered around one of PoE's three attributes: Dexterity, Strength, or Intelligence. Three of the classes are purely focused around one attribute, while the other three are hybrid classes that split their focus on two attributes. A Witch, for example, is based around only Intelligence, while a Duelist focuses on both Strength and Dexterity. The available options are familiar to anyone well-versed in Western RPG designs. They may not be called "barbarian," "wizard," or "rogue," but it's pretty easy to pick out who's who and how each class will play. You won't – or shouldn't – think you'll be running up to bash monsters in the face as a Witch, for example. I chose the Ranger for my main character. What's interesting is that, while each class is designed to take advantage of their respective attributes, the way each character progresses allows for a ton of customization options. Characters themselves level up using a sphere grid, a la Final Fantasy X, so that while each class has a different starting point, the interconnectedness of the grid allows for all manner of off-shoots and cross-class skill compatibility. The example I gave above of a Witch in melee combat wasn't just hyperbole; it might take you forever and not really be worth it, but you can build toward that, if you so choose. There's no pressure to choose one path or the other, and navigation is easy. You can always mouse over each node to see what it will grant, and where the path will lead. Path of Exile refers to this map as the passive skill tree, since every activated node on the map only grants a character passive, not active, skills and abilities. There are a total of 1350 passive skill nodes, and you can even experiment with or theorycraft your own build here. In fact, you really should plan ahead, because while you can respec and take back mistakes, you can't just reset your entire path. Each point you undo costs a respec point, and you only start with two points. Items and quest rewards can give you more down the line, but you should still plan ahead.
Chaos (and fire, and lightning, and…) emeralds
If leveling up your character never grants you new abilities, how do you ever do more than a basic attack? Wilson told the Report that he and the team at Grinding Gear tried to push the concept of loot and collecting items as far as it will go, and nowhere is that more evident than in how a character gains skills. As your character travels the land of Wraeclast, they'll come across various gems. Each gem is a different color, each color is associated with a different Attribute; red for Strength, blue for Intelligence, green for Dexterity. These gems give your character their extra abilities. Here's how it works: Let's take my Ranger for example. She starts with Crude Bow. It does 3-10 physical damage, has a critical strike chance of 5%, and fires at a rate of 1.2 attacks per second. It also has three slots: one red, one green, one blue. Later, she slays a zombie and it drops a green gem of Split Arrow. This gem allows me to fire multiple arrows with a single click, at the cost of some mana. I slot it into the Crude Bow, and now I can use the ability by right-clicking. Any piece of equipment with an open slot could hold this gem, mind you – it doesn't have to be my weapon. I could slot the gem into my chest plate and still be able to perform the ability. Gems level up as you slay monsters while they're equipped, becoming more powerful versions of themselves as they do. Split Arrow, for example, starts out costing 10 mana and grants the wielder 2 additional arrows at level 1, but by level 10, it costs 16 mana, grants a 27% bonus to physical damage, and produces 4 additional arrows. It takes some getting used to the system, but it works quite well. There are a ton of potential modifiers and abilities to find on a given item, and combined with the sheer size and capacity of the passive skill tree, you're highly unlikely to come across anyone who's character is the same as yours, even if they have the same gear. If you want to put that to the test, you can search for adventuring parties in town by checking the noticeboard. Here you'll find public parties you can join, or create your own. The game is plenty fun solo, but watching how other people build and play their classes can be fascinating. I loved my Ranger's Split Arrow ability, but I seemed to be the only Ranger who either had it or used it.
That'll cost two breastplates and a helmet, sir
Items don't just feature prominently in character customization. The game's economy is based on bartering: When you want to purchase a new belt, you'll have to part with some of your scrolls or orbs. When you want to sell loot, you'll drag your chosen items to a window and, as you offer them to a vendor, they'll make an offer back. These offers typically come in the form of scraps and pieces of some larger item, such as fragments of an orb or shreds of a scroll. Collect enough pieces and you'll make the item whole. Path of Exile also offers several options for microtransactions – "ethical," as they're described on the Path of Exile website. You'll get 46 coins for $5, 96 for $10, 200 coins for $20, 516 for $50, 1065 for $100, or 2850 for $250. You can purchase pets, animations, a larger stash, an extra character slot, or alternate visual effects for both items and skills, for starters. Prices vary wildly on these items. While most costs come in under the triple-digit mark and feel fairly priced, pets cost quite a hefty sum. A lightning scorpion pet, for example, will cost approximately ninety dollars. If you've got a spare grand, you can even design your own custom item.
But… is it fun?
Of course, all these niceties and focus on items would be for nothing if the game wasn't fun to play. Thankfully, it's as well-tuned and robust as an Action RPG fan could hope. You'll start off fighting what seem to be endless waves of zombies, but soon you'll graduate to giant crabs, spiked ostrich-like creatures, tentacle monsters, goatmen, and fire wolves. Each of these enemies possess unique looks and attacks, and the fighting can be brutal. Even in areas where I was several levels above the creatures I was fighting, I died regularly because I wasn't paying attention to the fact I was standing in poison or fire, or I got over-confident and was swarmed by a horde of whatever I was fighting at the time. Flasks, the vials which hold your health and mana potions, refill as you kill monsters, but you still have to activate them manually. No picking up health orbs like in Diablo 3. If you're not partied up with fellow adventurers, watch your resources and don't get cocky. Players argued in chat over which class was most overpowered, which is a good thing; the lack of consensus hints at a well-balanced game. I did notice I had a much easier time as my Witch, but that might be because by the time I played her, I had learned not to get too close, and to always keep my fingers hovering near the Flask activation button. The game is in beta, which means any obvious issues should be ironed out before launch. Path of Exile is good, clean, Action RPG fun that feels modern and intuitive. The game may pull from multiple, older sources - Diablo's sinister atmosphere, Final Fantasy X's sphere grid, etc – but it pulls these individual elements together into what feels like a new, comprehensive world. Nothing feels out of place, nothing feels broken. The game is in open beta now, but don't be scared off by that label. The game feels good, there are no more planned character wipes, and the experience is completely free. Just create an account and you're on your way. If you've been waiting for a breath of fresh air in the Action RPG genre, wake up and smell the bloated, rotting, animated corpses: Path of Exile is your game.

Ground was broken Friday for the eastern New Orleans campus of Delgado Community College. The $21 million project is one of several that is spurring optimism in an area of the city that is still trying to bounce back from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.
As students at Delgado's main campus on City Park Avenue were moving about, Governor Bobby Jindal, state lawmakers and Delgado officials were breaking ground miles away for the new campus. It's located on the site of the old Sidney Collier Technical College at 3727 Louisa Street.
Delgado says the former Sidney Collier campus became part of Delgado in 2010 when Louisiana Technical College Region 1 merged with Delgado.
"We know one of the most important things we can do is to provide skilled workers to grow the private sector economy," said Governor Jindal.
Jindal said 70 percent of companies interested in moving to Louisiana express major concerns about finding enough skilled workers. The hope for many is that, by opening the college in a depressed community, the surrounding neighborhoods will rebound even faster.
"The kids coming out of these programs, the I-T programs, the electrical programs, air conditioning programs will have good-paying jobs waiting for them," said Jindal.
New Orleans East businesswoman Tangee Wall said it will mean a brighter future for eastern New Orleans.
"It's a great economic push, education is always a plus and it spurs growth especially within young people and I think that's a major, major move of progress and recovery for eastern New Orleans," Wall stated.
The new campus will train students to become nurses, X-ray technicians, carpenters, as well as computer courses and solar energy installation.
The state is providing $12 million for the project and FEMA's portion is $9 million. The first phase of the new campus should be completed by May 2014.
But as Delgado is building a new college campus, there are layoffs planned at the main campus.
"Certainly here in the city it's always a concern when you have to do that. But what's happened is every time we've done it, we've seen enrollment go up because we align the new programs with the jobs that are in the area," said Dr. Joe May, president of the Louisiana Community and Technical College System.
Delgado is not the only economic development project in the works for the area. On Bullard, at the former Lakeland Medical Complex, city officials will break ground for a new Wal-Mart. Retailer Big Lots is also coming to the area.
"Finally, we've got some very major economic development projects that are coming into our area… We're ripe for it, we've definitely got that mixture of income, we've got that mixture of professionalism, we got the young people," Wall said.

Finland is the jam. It came from an exploding egg, the egg of a water bird, the top half of which you can still see in the shape of the starry canopy that hangs over the earth.
Finland is the most sparsely-populated country in the EU with only 5 million people. It's also been ranked the second most stable country in the world, after Norway.
Historically, Finland has been a part of Sweden and later, Russia. It was an autonomous Grand Duchy during the Russian Empire's reign and lasted as such until their declaration of independence in 1917. Subsequently Finland survived a civil war and wars against both Russia and Nazi Germany to eventually settle down as an EU member circa 1955.
Finnish language is cool, it's totally unrelated to the whole Latin-root thing. Its closest relative is Hungarian. Linguistic historians estimate that it came from northern central Russia from 3000BC.
If you're in Helsinki, the museum at Suomenlinna has some interesting bunkers and military wreckage, including a submarine!
Caught on camera! Here's your long-awaited proof. Santa Claus comes from Finland.
Apart from Lappland, the other thing most people are familiar with out of Finland is aquavite. Literally it translates to "water of life" but it may make you feel more like you are dying when it hits your throat.

An immersion in French musical Impressionism by pianists Francesco Libetta and Konstantin Lifschitz was the thematic journey for the two opening concerts in the Miami International Piano Festival's master series at the Broward Center. Debussy and Ravel loomed large, but forward and backward glances at composers who influenced or were inspired by Impressionist artists and musicians provided context.

Remember Me
Middle-class Ohioans have always worked hard and taken responsibility. But for too long, Ohioans have been working harder than ever and barely getting by. In last week's State of the Union address, the president laid out a plan to grow our economy by growing the middle class. By calling on Congress to raise the federal minimum wage, extend emergency unemployment insurance, train workers for high-growth industries, and pass my bipartisan bill to create a network of manufacturing innovation hubs, the State of the Union address helped focus our attention on what matters: keeping America strong and vibrant for the next generation. And that starts with shoring up the middle class, the foundation on which America's economic might stands.
The Spencer family saw the passing of its patriarch this week. We laid Uncle Randy to rest on Friday. He was the eldest of the three Spencer brothers with my father-in-law Max the middle boy and Uncle Norm the baby. Their sister, Vivienne, was gone long before I joined the clan.
I would like to thank the many snowplow operators from the townships, to the county, to the state. They have worked many hours day and night to make our roads safe. As a school administrator their work is priceless, without them we would have missed several more days of school this year. I, like many other school administrators in the area, thank you. We greatly appreciate your time and effort.

In last week's State of the Union address, President Obama talked about a year of action to restore an opportunity society, one where every American can pursue his or her dreams. I couldn't agree more with the goal, but I disagree with most of the President's ideas about how to get there. We have tried the top down approach of more government, more regulations, more spending and record debt, and it hasn't worked.
This is a letter to Phil and Chuck.

Hello eveybody! Finally decided to introduce myself. I'm Bonehead (a.k.a. Tony) from Bridgeville PA. It's about 12 miles south of Pittsburgh. I've been in the back ground for awhile reading other posts and learning the ins and outs of the web site and picking up some tips. Used some already to get 2 running.
I recently bought the house my family built (unfortunatly it was from their estate) and it came with a couple toys. 5 cubs (mostly late 40's ,early 50's) and 2 John Deeres with different implements. Dad hated changing them so if he needed to change it he bought another toy ..er ... I mean tractor. I'm now in the process of getting them working again. For the most part only one has been kind of running during the settlement, but the other 4 were not. The one that was kind of running just needed a battery and fluids changed at first. Then started running rough. Cleaned points ,changed plugs, the normal basic things, after it warmed up would only run at 3/4 to full choke. A carb cleaning/ rebuild is in the near future. (Judging from what I've read so far.)
By the way i'm Bolivar cub 's brother-in-law. Spent a couple of weeks getting his cub(my #2) up and running. A BIG THANKS to you guys!! Delivered it down to him over Memorial weekend. Glad to say no problems getting her there.
So that means 3 to go. Not sure how many I can keep, I'm only missing two things to do them justice. Time and money.

Gullivers Sports Travel Advertising Feature
NO TRIP to Australia would be complete without a visit to Sydney – and The British & Irish Lions stop there twice next summer. They play NSW Waratahs on 15 June before the Test series against the Wallabies climaxes on 6 July.
A Lions Tour Down Under gives you the chance to watch quality rugby while exploring Australia – and Gullivers Sports Travel have official packages to suit every taste and budget. Here are just a few of the attractions on offer in Sydney…
1. Bridge of highs
Feeling adventurous? Then climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge is the activity for you as you can take in the views from 134 metres up. The climbs take up to three-and-a-half hours, but it's an incredible experience. It's best to do it before the Test, though: you get breathalysed before going up!
2. Surf's up!
For the sporty tourists, trying out surfing is a must and that means a trip to Bondi, which is only a short journey from Sydney city centre. If you're not keen to get on a board, then try a boardwalk. The Bondi to Bronte Coastwalk, which takes about an hour and half, allows you to explore the beautiful coastline.
3. Cruise control
Sydney Harbour is an iconic image of Australia, so why not view it from water as well as land? Various companies organise cruises around the harbour. Or simply jump on the ferry to Manly – you can take classic snaps from the boat and then enjoy strolling around the popular seaside resort.
4. Harbour masters
Whether you want to while away the afternoon in an art gallery, put your brain to good use in a museum or simply get some tasty tucker, Darling Harbour is the place to be. Plus, they usually have a firework display on Saturday nights – the perfect place to toast a Lions' series win. Here's hoping!
5. Blasts from the past
Head to the North Sydney Oval on 4 July to see a host of ex-players pull on their boots for the final British & Irish Rugby Legends match against the Classic Wallabies. Admission is included on all Gullivers' tours and Gullivers' rugby ambassador Colin Charvis will be captain. What does 2001 tourist Charvis remember of the Lions' time in Sydney?

DeLuna Fest Day One Recap
Friday was a firecracker! The day started off with a bang. Kosmonot got the day bumping at the entrance gate with some groovy tunes, and locals Pioneers! O' Pioneers got the local crowd revved up on the Wind Creek Stage. Crowds sprinted to be in the front row at the DeLuna Stage for Fishbone, who went through a series of their hits and brought a ton of energy and groovy ska and punk to the sand. The Honey Island Swamp band continued the groove with their particular brand of New Orleans Blues-Funk. City and Colour made fans swoon as the afternoon wore on, and got people in the perfect mood for the rock n roll sounds of The Gaslight Anthem. The crowd was THRILLED when Eddie Vedder joined the boys in The Gaslight Anthem on stage for "State of Love and Trust" (omg omg), and the overall performance was simply perfect. Every member of the band themselves smiled the whole way through at the beautiful setting.
Meanwhile, on the Go Pensacola Stage, Deadly Fists of King Fu brought their Pensacola punk sound and brand of humor, quipping before one song "this is dedicated to all the people who like songs." Guitarist Jason Hurt introduced another: "the entire narrative of this song takes place in Alan Moore's beard." Next on the Go Pensacola Stage was UK garage indie favorites Band of Skulls, whose set was nothing short of epic. That performance surely won over scores of new fans. They were followed by Trampled By Turtles, who were soundchecking during Ben Folds Five's set. At one point, Ben Folds remarked "Is that Guided By Voices?" The response came "No, there's too many banjos." Ben Folds: "Guided by Banjos?" TBTs set rocked. The Ben Folds Five reunion was life changing, running through hit after hit across their career, including "Erase Me" from their latest output, The Sound Of The Life Of The Mind.
The return of Guided By Voices was heralded by many fans, who loved to see the band back together on the DeLuna Stage.
Butts were shakin' and smiles were plentiful all afternoon at the Heritage Stage where the Hot 8 Brass Band and Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk closed out the stage for the evening. Dwight Yoakam brought the first hint of country to the Wind Creek Stage, encouraging fans to sing along, and altering lyrics to make them special to Pensacola.
At 9:30, Pearl Jam took the DeLuna Stage, beginning, appropriately with "Oceans" before tearing into Corduroy and a never ending stop of fan favorites, introducing "Parachute" as a song for "anyone who's lost someone in the past year", and coming back for two encores before closing out for the night.
But the party continued. DJ AC Slater kicked off the EDM selection of DeLuna Fest, getting fans screaming, drawing out the neon, and starting the dance party. 12th Planet's unique brand of dubstep kept the heat up, and by the time the legendary DJ Jazzy Jeff took the stage, the crowd was packed in to the Wind Creek stage area, and grooving as one.
We can't wait to bring you the highlights from Day 2!

Malta - Selmun Bay

Malta - Selmun Bay
Popularly known as Selmun Bay, the proper name for this small "hidden" beach is Imgiebah Bay. There's no public transport to this beach and perhaps this is one of the main reasons why it's often deserted during the week. If you're going by car, it's still not that easy to reach. It's often said that getting to this beach is an "adventure" in itself and some people (even Maltese) get lost trying to remember which road leads to this bay. If you're hiring a car, Imgiebah Bay near Selmun, Mellieha is the perfect remote beach for those who wish to escape the crowds. This beach is a bit difficult to find. From Mellieha, you have to follow the signs to Selmun. It's best if you ask for directions once you're in Selmun since no proper signage to the bay is available. You can leave your car at the top of the cliff and make your way down to the bay on foot. You can also walk it from Mellieha. It will take you some two hours to get to Imgiebah Bay (that's if you don't get lost). Selmun Bay is located deep in the countryside. It's a bit of a rough walk to actually get to the beach but it's well worth it. The beach is surrounded by awesome natural surroundings and offers some excellent snorkeling opportunities. Imgiebah Bay: Beach Facilities No facilities or kiosks are available at Imgiebah Bay so remember to take anything you'll need with you.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Preview: The High-Performance Emergency Department
"One of the practical things that I started to implement was to discuss the patients with my nurses," Lobón says. "As simple as that may sound, that was something that was unheard of." Lobón knew there was an issue when he showed up during the nurse triage on a patient and she asked, "Are you going to be with me in the room? I'm not used to that." When he would share his thoughts about the patient's diagnosis or treatment with the nurse, he would get another perplexed look. "They would ask, 'Why are you asking me this?' and I would say, 'Because we are working this patient together.' That concept did not exist. It was huge, huge."
Rocker, the ED nurse manager, agrees: "There's a lot more communication and team effort. We huddle going in to take care of the patient. The physician is telling us what they think. They're very open to nursing suggestions and nursing assessment pieces to the patient condition. More often the physician and nurse are evaluating the patient together. It's not one against the other. We're not waiting."
The ED transformation achieved another of its key metrics: zero, as in the amount of capital spent. All existing staff and space was reallocated.
"You work with whatever you can," Sayah says. "It's more of a function than a location or a physical plan." Part of the solution was as simple as replacing desks with beds in former registration rooms.
Additional lessons in the full case study are: Lesson 2: Fix the flow outside the ED; Lesson 3: Install leadership and compensation structures to build physician culture; and Lesson 4: Invest in the ED as a strategic part of integrated delivery enterprise.

Great article and in total agreement with the process. But, there was no mention of point of service collection for patients who were at the ED for clinic level of care. How is that handled at these 3 hospitals? Unless we develop access to care at the appropriate site and expect payment when appropriate post medical screen, patients will continue to use their local ED for what could be seen in a clinic thus encouraging high cost of care and lack of accountability. I would love a response to this comment. Thank you.

Your location: Home > Secretariat
Article 8, paragraph 2, of the Convention provides that the functions of the secretariat shall be,
inter alia, to make arrangements for sessions of the Conference of the Parties (COP) and its
subsidiary bodies and to provide them with services as required. In order to make the necessary
arrangements for intergovernmental meetings, the secretariat seeks guidance from Parties.
The Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI) traditionally includes on its May/June provisional
agenda an item on "Arrangements for Intergovernmental Meetings". The SBI is generally
invited to provide advice or recommendations in the following areas:
1) Preparations for the November/December sessions, including arrangements for the high-level
segment and the provisional agendas of the COP and CMP;
2) Preparations for future sessional periods;
3) Organization of the intergovernmental process, including the participation of observer
For more information see background document FCCC/SBI/2014/6.
With a view to making the necessary arrangements for intergovernmental meetings, the SBI
traditionally discusses the arrangements for upcoming COP and CMP sessions.
For the Lima Conference, pursuant to decision
28/CP.19, the Bureau is required to confirm that the logistical, technical and financial elements
for hosting the sessions are available, in conformity with United Nations General Assembly resolution
40/243. In accordance with the same decision, the Executive Secretary is continuing consultations
with the Government of Peru in order to conclude and sign a Host Country Agreement not later than the
fortieth sessions of the SBI and the SBSTA. Preparations for the sessions are under way and further
information will be provided during SBI 40.
Under this agenda item, the draft elements of the provisional agendas of COP 20 and CMP 10, as well
as suggestions concerning the organization of the work of the COP, the CMP and the subsidiary bodies
will be discussed.
Furthermore, the possible arrangements for the high-level segment, including for the participation of
ministers and other heads of delegation, will be presented for further guidance and views, keeping in
mind the positive experiences at recent COP and CMP sessions at which national statements did not run
beyond the scheduled time frame.
In Warsaw, the COP also requested that two ministerial dialogues be convened during COP 20
1/CP.19 and 3/CP.19).
Future sessional periods
The SBI has traditionally been invited to discuss the issue of hosting future COP and CMP sessions,
as well as sessional dates for future sessional periods, with a view to proposing a draft decision on
the matter for consideration and adoption at the COP.
28/CP.19 accepted the offer of the Government of France to host COP 21 and CMP11. The decision
also noted the offer from the Government of Senegal to host COP 22 and CMP 12 in
November–December 2016. In keeping with the principle of rotation among regional groups,
the President of COP 23 and CMP 13 would come from the Asia-Pacific States. The SBI will be invited
to discuss the future sessional periods.
In keeping with the recommendation of SBI 30 that future sessions be scheduled from mid-week to
mid-week, where possible (FCCC/SBI/2009/8,
paragraph 115), SBI 40 will be invited to recommend dates for the sessional periods in
Organization of the intergovernmental process, including the participation of observer
The SBI has periodically provided Parties with an opportunity to discuss and exchange views on how
the organization of their intergovernmental process is functioning and to take decisions on relevant
matters, including providing guidance to presiding officers and the secretariat.
For example, SBI 32 provided guidance on the number of meetings to be held concurrently, ending
meetings by 6p.m. under exceptional circumstances continuing for two to three hours (FCCC/SBI/2010/10,
paragraphs 164 and 165).
Parties may want to take stock of certain elements of the intergovernmental process, to consider
options for making improvements and provide relevant guidance. Parties may recall that at SBI 36 they
were invited to submit their views on ways to improve efficiency and effectiveness, planning, as well
as the structure of the process to streamline it, including budgetary implications for consideration
at SBI 38 (FCCC/SBI/2012/15,
paragraph 238).
As the SBI was not able to agree on its provisional agenda for SBI 38, Parties may wish to discuss
the views raised in the above-mentioned submissions as well as the issues outlined in the background
document for SBI 38, including the review of the current implementation of SBI conclusions on
observer engagement (outlined in document FCCC/SBI/2013/4).
Additional information on preparations for the Lima Conference, future sessional periods and the
organization of the intergovernmental process, including the participation of observer organizations
can be found in background document FCCC/SBI/2014/6.

As a group of parents and prospective students were taking part in a tour of Sonoma State University on Wednesday, they suddenly discovered a broad-shouldered man in a suit standing among them.
"Who are you?" a mother inquired.
The man explained that he was a California State University employee who just wanted to learn more about the campus.
"So, tell me why would I want to send my daughter to a CSU school?" the mother inquired.
The result was a conversation that probably included more information than she was expecting. The gentleman introduced himself as Timothy White, the head of the entire 23-campus California State University system.
White, who was making his first formal visit to the Rohnert Park campus since becoming CSU chancellor in December, is not shy about doing a little undercover work. Some may remember that two years ago, he was featured in the season-ending finale of the CBS show "Undercover Boss."
At the time, with a camera crew in tow, White donned a number of disguises while spending a week doing a variety of jobs across UC Riverside, including posing as a track coach, as a clerk at the college's science library, and, yes, even a campus tour guide. No one recognized him as the school's chancellor. His efforts included cutting his hair, wearing a false mustache and glasses and inserting false teeth. He even wore a purple earring.
"For me, it is very satisfying to know that doing this show — something of a risk and not without controversy — turned into something so powerful," White told a campus reporter at the time. He said it was a great way to tell the university's story.
It also resulted in some needed changes, including the accelerated replacement of the school's worn track. "The more we can do that, the more people will understand the importance and power of public education for the future of America," he said at the time.

UPDATED: Wonderbook: Book of Spells to Feature New Content from J. K. RowlingJ.K. Rowling
As part of its collaboration with J K. Rowling, Sony revealed a new game for the PlayStation 3 which will allow players to learn and perform spells from The Book of Spells by Miranda Goshawk. This game will also feature new written content by J. K. Rowling:
Featuring exclusive new and original writing from J.K. Rowling, Wonderbook: Book of Spells comes to life as you read, allowing you to cast spells with your PlayStation®Move Motion Controller which becomes your own magic wand. Go on a fantastic journey to read and learn the secrets of wizardry and the art of spell-casting, just like a student at Hogwarts™, when it is released in November 2012 in Europe and December 2012 in North America. Wonderbook: Book of Spells will also be coming to other countries and regions following this window.
J.K. Rowling said, "Wonderbook: Book of Spells is the closest a Muggle can come to a real spellbook. I've loved working with Sony's creative team to bring my spells, and some of the history behind them, to life. This is an extraordinary device that offers a reading experience like no other."
Book of Spells is presented as being written by Miranda Goshawk over two hundred years ago, and can be found in the Restricted Section of the Hogwarts library. It is an advanced textbook for students, which will assist them on their journey to becoming an accomplished witch or wizard.
Released in November 2012, Wonderbook: Book of Spells provides students with a safe environment in which to read, discover, learn and practise spells they already know and love, such as Incendio, Wingardium Leviosa and Expelliarmus, as well as discover mischievous notes and spells scribbled into the margins by previous Hogwarts students. In addition to humorous anecdotal facts relating to the spells, J.K. Rowling has written a conundrum that leads you through the experience, providing insight into what makes a successful witch or wizard, and inviting fans to journey through the book and unlock new tales at the end of each chapter rewarding students for their successful spell-casting.

Two seniors from Arundel High School announced Wednesday that they will play sports at the collegiate level.
Tyler Young and Ashlee Felton took part in a signing ceremony at the school.
Young, of Crofton, has committed to play lacrosse at Towson University, while Felton will play volleyball while attending LaSalle University in Philadelphia.
Both have been standout athletes at Arundel. Felton helped lead the volleyball team to back-to-back state finals in 2011 and 2012.
Young has been one of the top scorers for the Wildcats in lacrosse and has led the team to a perfect record this year. He also played wide receiver for the Arundel football team.
Felton said she was drawn to LaSalle after getting a chance to work out with the team earlier this year.
"I really liked the team and how well we worked together when I practiced with them," Felton said. "I really liked the chemistry. They were easy going and made me feel comfortable."
Young said he was drawn to Towson after an overnight visit, and said he was looking to attend a school close to home.
"They are an up and coming program with a young coaching staff," he said. "I just felt comfortable with the school."

Ecosoya CB Advanced Soy Wax
EcoSoya CB-Advanced Soy is made from pure 100% soybeans and carefully selected botanical oils. Candles made with CB-Advanced Soy resist frosting, have a smooth top surface and an even smooth burn pool with consistent color retention. Ships well in all climates.
VIDEO: NGI uses American Grown Soybeans
Dan Cap from Nature's Gifts International talks about where their soybeans are grown.
- Heat soy wax to 185 F (so fragrance oil fully dissolves)
- Had high hopes
I'm trying to transition from parasoy blend into soy candles and this was my first go at soy. Candles looked amazing with wonderfully smooth tops and the cold throw was pretty good! I tried every wick I had (both ECO's and HTP) and all of them drowned sadly in the wax. Some would make a decent melt pool but then drown and then the larger wicks would tunnel and drown. The hot throw was also very poor. I'm hoping for more success with 464.
- Great Wax
I'm very pleased with this wax. I rate it at about 4.5 stars. Currently testing this and GW 464. I am making (and giving away) more candles out of this wax because it produces a very pretty candle, there is no adhesion, and it leaves minimal frosting on top. While the scent throw is lighter than the 464, I still really like the CB Advanced. I am getting great results using Candle Science's 3 leaf fragrance oils like Pomegranate and Very Vanilla. Just be selective of what oils you choose with this wax and load it at it's max load (9%). I will be ordering 50 lbs at a time soon! :)
- Terrible Wax
I have been using Ecosoya Cb Advanced for two years now, never have i had the problems i had this with batch. Very little scent throw, makes candles greasy, drowns the wicks, i even went size up in wicks for this wax, still no luck. I will be purchasing this wax from my original supplier.
- Pretty Candles
No frosting, mottling, or wells, very pleased. :)
- Wet spots every time
I have been using 464 and was having a bit of a time with frosting. I saw where Ecosoya Advanced was very resistant to wet spots, but I have them every time. I went to the manufacture site to verify melt and pour temp and still no luck. I use 8 ounce glass containers that are not preheated per manufacture directions. I have also tried preheating the containers and after a day, have the same results. The candles are brighter white than the 464, but the wet spots bug me.
- I love this wax
I have used 444 and 464 with alot of trouble with frosting and cratering. This wax makes really pretty candles with no sacrifice with fragrance throw. The best fragrances so far have been Apple Harvest,Very Vanilla,Blueberry Cobbler, Moon Lake Musk and Mango Tangerine. I also use a Presto Deep Fryer for heating my wax. It has been converted by drilling a hole and placing a pour spout with open/close lever.(i found the directions on another website-just Google around. you will find it.) Always use a candy thermometer for the needed 185 degree. Then turn it off and wait for the proper pour temp for your wax. Thanks Candle Science for such good service and products. I plan to visit someday!
- block or chips
ive never had any trouble with this wax, just wondering if it is shipped in a block or chips
- Pouring Temps
I am using CB Advanced and I do love the wax, I am having trouble getting the pour temp on glass jars to
 look nice.
 Does anyone have any advice for me?

- Great wax for beautiful candles!
CB Advanced is easy to work with and makes beautiful candle with little to no frosting. I gave it four stars because not all scents that are rated strong in soy work well with this wax. It is true that some scents have not throw, but the ones that do are heavenly. Here are some sample scents that I have had luck with Sex On the Beach, Oakmoss & Amber, Apple Harvest, Sunwashed Linen, and Black Raspberry Vanilla just to name a few.
- Great Wax
I love this wax, but gave it a four because, while it makes perfect looking candles each and every time, it is a bit of a pain to constantly test scents to see if they will work in this version of EcoSoya wax. Not all scents will throw, even if it is a fragrance that works in other soy wax.
- No scent throw
I am really new at making candles, and I am only making them as a hobby. Trial and error and a few mistakes I am getting better at it - the imperfect ones I give to family. I have only purchased the EcosoyCB advanced and EcosoyPB for pillars and I love the creamy texture, burns beautifully - but the hot scent throw for this is just not what I expected. Although, I am amazed how soy wax really does not leave the nasty black oily soot. I read reviews about the GB 464 and I will try that next for a better scent throw.
- no scent throw
Makes beautiful, smooth candles in one pour. I was so excited until I burned one and noticed no scent throw. I wish it could have won me over but it did not deliver. Scent is important if you care about repeat customers.
- Looks great but......
I think that this wax is great looking for the candles. It is easy to use and pours nicely. The only problem I have with it is the scent throw is just not there compared to the GB464. I wanted to try this in order to get the nice looking candles that I hear everyone tell about. I will be going back to the GB464 from now on. My customers want the fragrance more than the pretty look.
so happy this is the best wax ever #1 in my candle list
- wicks
The suggested size wicks drown in this wax???
Beautiful, creamy, smooth candles! With a little experimenting, I was able to get wonderful cold and hot throw with this wax and it burns so cleanly : )
- This wax is totally on point!
This wax is the best! I absolutely love the creamy texture, no frosting whatsoever. Like everybody else, I found this wax very easy to work with because it cools and sets much slower than any other wax I've used. I bought the Golden Brands 464 soy wax because it was a best seller and a little less in price, but I couldn't get it to work well in my candles. I thought I would have to give up and settle for a soy/paraffin blend wax, but then I decided to try this one, and oh my goodness. If you want quality candles, this is the brand you should get.
- Making this permanent!
I was a EcoSoya 135 user, received this and LOVE it! Smooth melting, Perfect top surface and colors came out great too! No need for the heat gun with this product! SOLD!
- Great Product!(:
I started out by ordering the Golden Brands 464 Soy Wax, it was the cheapest and the old saying "you get what you pay for" deffinetly was true. After pouring about 6 candles i let them sit overnight to see how they would turn out. Everyone of them caved in the middle. When i poured my candles for this wax only one out of 8 caved in. But it was a quick fix, i saved some of the wax from the first pours, i heated it up and poured it on the top of the candle. It dryed quick and the candle was perfect. I highly recommend paying a little more for this product and getting good quality candles.
- Awesome Wax!
This is such a GREAT wax, no frosting and easy to work with. I always used the GB 464 but this is by far so much better, and is reasonably priced.. Thanks CS for a great wax!!
- ecosoya cb-advanced soy wax
being all natural is always a plus and being we are supporting our american farmers is even better....i have used this wax before and it is awesome. all candles perfect everytime. love it...thanks candle science!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- The best wax !
This wax is the best wax that i have ever used. No frosting, smooth and really easy to work with.
- This is great wax
i have used this and Golden Brands 444 Wax and this tops it! smooth tops, no frosting, VERY EASY to work with. i strongly suggest this wax. you get what you pay for

This code snippet demonstrates how to convert a resource into a byte array. The snippet assumes that the resource is included in the JAR file, which is used to distribute the application.
Example: To include a file to the JAR package in NetBeans 6.1, do as follows:
- In the Projects window (select Window > Projects if it's not visible), open the project node for the project to which you want to add the file.
- Right-click on the Resources node under the project and choose Add Folder. The Add Folder dialog box opens.
- Select the folder where the resource is (for example, dist/images).
- Click Open. The folder is added to the project.
- Clean and build the project (right-click on the project node and select Clean & Build).
- The resource can be obtained in the code, for example, like this:
InputStream inputStream = getClass().getResourceAsStream("image.jpg");
// ...
import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
* Constructs a byte array and fills it with data that is read from the
* specified resource.
* @param filename the path to the resource
* @return the specified resource as a byte array
* @throws java.io.IOException if the resource cannot be read, or the
* bytes cannot be written, or the streams cannot be closed
private byte[] obtainByteData(String filename) throws IOException {
InputStream inputStream = getClass().getResourceAsStream(filename);
ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream(1024);
byte[] bytes = new byte[512];
// Read bytes from the input stream in bytes.length-sized chunks and write
// them into the output stream
int readBytes;
while ((readBytes = inputStream.read(bytes)) > 0) {
outputStream.write(bytes, 0, readBytes);
// Convert the contents of the output stream into a byte array
byte[] byteData = outputStream.toByteArray();
// Close the streams
return byteData;
The method above can be used, for example, with multipart messages. In the following, a MessagePart object is constructed from a byte array which represents raw data from a JPEG image:
import javax.wireless.messaging.MessagePart;
import javax.wireless.messaging.SizeExceededException;
// ...
* Constructs a MessagePart which can be added to a MultipartMessage.
* @return the constructed MessagePart
* @throws javax.wireless.messaging.SizeExceededException if the contents
* is larger than the available memory or supported size for the message
* part
* @throws java.io.IOException if the byte data cannot be obtained
private MessagePart createMsgPart() throws SizeExceededException,
IOException {
String imageContentID = "image01";
String imageContentLocation = "image.jpg";
String jpgMIME = "image/jpeg";
// Convert the image into a byte array and construct a message part using
// it
byte[] imageContent = obtainByteData(imageContentLocation);
MessagePart messagePart = new MessagePart(imageContent, jpgMIME,
imageContentID, imageContentLocation, null);
return messagePart;
A specified resource is converted into a byte array.

Yes, apparently it's actually going to happen. From Tom Pelissaro (via 1500ESPN.com):
Barring a setback in the next 48 hours, Joe Mauer will be back in the Minnesota Twins' lineup on Friday night.
The team confirmed Mauer's return late Wednesday afternoon, hours after the All-Star catcher took batting practice against deposed closer Joe Nathan in Fort Myers, Fla., and declared his lengthy rehabilitation complete.
Just a little refresher ... Joe Mauer is a baseball catcher and plays for a team called the Minnesota Twins. Some time ago, he was considered one of the best baseball catchers in baseball, but then -- and again, this was ages ago -- he tried to play but couldn't play well and nobody was quite sure why.
Anyway, he's coming back now and pretty soon people will remember him again. This season, the Twins' catchers have batted .183/.074/-.648, which could have been worse, technically speaking, but was pretty terrible, realistically speaking.
So this is definitely a good thing for the last-place Minnesota Twins. Now, about this baseball first baseman named Justin Morneau who used to play for the Minnesota Twins ...
