Valedictorian Suing School Officials for Censoring Speech
By Editorial Staff
Published January 2, 1988
MOSS BLUFF, LA. (EP) – A Louisiana high school graduate is suing her local school officials for censoring her valedictory speech at commencement. Angela Kay Guidry, who was graduated from Sam Houston High School here in May, says her principal's refusal to let her speak unless she omitted all planned religious references was a violation of her rights to free speech and free exercise of religion.
Guidry is being represented by attorneys of the Rutherford Institute, a nonprofit civil liberties organization specializing in religious freedom questions. Her attorneys are seeking a declaratory judgment protecting Guidry and other students from "interference [with] or denial of" constitutional rights.
According to the lawsuit, Guidry submitted her speech to principal Kerry Durr for review May 15. The speech began by thanking "my Lord Jesus who has allowed me to be in this position tonight." The speech went on to explain Guidry's personal source of motivation. "To me the most important thing in your life is not whether you have a good education or a good job, but whether or not you have the Lord in your life. It doesn't matter how many years you go to school or how successful you are in this life, if you're not doing it all for the Lord," stated the speech.
She planned to close the speech by explaining her belief that people needed to acknowledge Jesus Christ as Savior. "My prayer and challenge to you tonight," she had written, "is that you would seek the Lord Jesus, believe in Him, and give your heart and life to Him."
Guidry's lawsuit says that Durr read the speech and said, "You can't argue with that," but later that day guidance counselor Sylvia Seals telephoned Guidry and asked her to change the speech. A few days later, Guidry says, Seals "engaged in a tirade of criticism" within earshot of Guidry's fellow students, and when Guidry attempted to walk away Seals "grabbed her arm and continued making derogatory and slanderous remarks" about her religious beliefs.
Guidry was later told by Durr to delete all references to personal religious views so no one would be "offended" by the speech. Guidry refused, and was told she would not be allowed to speak.
The school authorities contend that Durr's decision was based on the fear that Guidry's remarks may have been taken as an endorsement of religious view by school authorities. Rutherford attorneys, however, argue that a "valedictorian address is, by its very nature, a personal bidding of farewell," and say Guidry was unconstitutionally deprived of "a meaningful opportunity to exercise her right of free speech and freely express her sincerely held beliefs."
The suit seeks declaratory judgment forbidding similar interference in the future, and compensatory and punitive damages for Seals' "inflamatory remarks impugning [Guidry's] moral character."

Massacre of Innocence (DVD)
Exposing The Occult Roots of Abortion
This presentation looks at the spiritual roots of abortion and exposes the myths surrounding child killing. Little known historical facts about abortion and how they relate to modern feminism are presented logically and accurately. Has been effective in converting many to a pro-life position.
Massacre of Innocence goes where no pro-life presentation has gone before in "tearing the lid off abortion" to reveal the spiritual realities we must battle if we will bring an end to this crime. The presentation is absorbing, fast-paced, informative and incredibly devastating to any attempt to justify abortion.
"… an extraordinary statement … a powerfully articulate presentation about what abortion really means, and why a great and moral nation like the United States must not allow the slaughter to continue."

The dramatic classic film of Martin Luther's life was released in theaters worldwide in the 1950s and was nominated for two Oscars. A magnificent depiction of Luther and the forces at work in the surrounding society that resulted in his historic reform efforts, this film traces Luther's life from a guilt-burdened monk to his eventual break with the Roman Catholic Church.

Amazing Grace: The History and Theology of Calvinism (DVD)
Download the Free Study Guide!
Just what is Calvinism?
Does this teaching make man a deterministic robot and God the author of sin? What about free will? If the church accepts Calvinism, won't evangelism be stifled, perhaps even extinguished? How can we balance God's sovereignty and man's responsibility? What are the differences between historic Calvinism and hyper-Calvinism? Why did men like Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Spurgeon, Whitefield, Edwards and a host of renowned Protestant evangelists embrace the teaching of predestination and election and deny free will theology?
This is the first video documentary that answers these and other related questions. Hosted by Eric Holmberg, this fascinating three-part, four-hour presentation is detailed enough so as to not gloss over the controversy. At the same time, it is broken up into ten "Sunday-school-sized" sections to make the rich content manageable and accessible for the average viewer.

Freedom: The Model of Christian Liberty (DVD)
"Give me liberty or give me death!"
Patrick Henry's famous declaration not only helped launch the War for Independence, it also perfectly summarized the mindset that gave birth to, and sustained, the unprecedented experiment in Christian liberty that was America.
The freedom our Founders envisioned was not freedom from suffering, want, or hard work. Nor was it freedom to indulge every appetite or whim without restraint—that would merely be servitude to a different master. No, the Founders' passion was to live free before God, unfettered by the chains of autocracy, shackles that slowly but inexorably bind men when the governments they fashion fail to recognize and uphold freedom's singular, foundational truth: that all men are created in the image of God, and are thereby co-equally endowed with the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
This presentation is a similar call, not to one but many. By reintroducing the principles of freedom that gave birth to America, it is our prayer that Jesus, the true and only ruler over the nations, will once again be our acknowledged Sovereign, that we may again know and exult in the great truth that "where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is liberty" (2 Cor. 3:17).
Welcome to the Second American Revolution!
This DVD features "Liberty: The Model of Christian Liberty" along with "Dawn's Early Light: A Brief History of America's Christian Foundations." Bonus features include a humorous but instructive collection of campaign ads and Eric Holmberg's controversial YouTube challenge concerning Mitt Romney's campaign for president.

CHICAGO – The streak is just a number now. The NHL record is in the rearview mirror, so each additional game just means another giddy opponent eager to stop the Chicago Blackhawks.
So far, the skaters in red and black have responded to each challenge.
"Without sounding arrogant, it's just business as usual," forward Patrick Sharp said.
Thing is, there's nothing routine about it. Certainly not after Chicago beat the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 in overtime on Monday night, stretching its opening points streak to 19 games.
The record went down days ago, when the Blackhawks beat San Jose 2-1 on Friday night to make it 17 in a row. Now the questions are how long can it go on, and which team will stop the streak.
The Oilers gave it a good run, but eventually succumbed to the waves of pressure from the Blackhawks.
"They are an amazingly powerful team," Edmonton coach Ralph Krueger said. "They are very strong on the puck and they never, never let up, at all."
Sharp set up the winning goal with a quick turn along the boards and a drive to the goal that led to two stops by Nikolai Khabibulin. Marian Hossa picked up the second rebound and was again stuffed by Khabibulin before he poked it in 1:44 into overtime for his ninth goal of the season.
"It is a great feeling, obviously," Hossa said. "It doesn't matter who's scoring and lately we have a lot of different guys scoring. We try to enjoy the streak, keep playing a simple game and try to find a way to win."
Patrick Kane and Viktor Stalberg also scored for Chicago (16-0-3), which has won six straight and nine of 10. Ray Emery made 17 saves to remain unbeaten in eight starts this season.
The Blackhawks have earned 35 of 38 possible points so far this season.
"It was a great third period," Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said. "We had the puck in overtime, too. Great pay by Sharpie going to the net; great patience and presence with Hossa to finish."
Nail Yakupov and Jeff Petry scored for Edmonton, which carried a 2-1 lead into the third period but couldn't hold on for what would have been its fourth consecutive victory over the Blackhawks. Khabibulin had 31 stops in the opener of the Oilers' franchise-record, nine-game road trip.
"Of course you feel pain, having the lead going into the third period," Krueger said. "It's definitely something you dream and believe you can close it."
Edmonton grabbed the lead for the last time in the second, taking advantage when Brandon Saad was sent off for high sticking. Yakupov, the No. 1 overall pick in last year's draft, one-timed a pass from Sam Gagner into the right side of the net at 14:17 for his fourth power-play goal and sixth overall.
Chicago looked listless for much of the second, but rebounded quickly in the third. Michal Rozsival was behind the net when he sent a pass in front to Stalberg, who poked the puck into the goal mouth as Khabibulin went to his knees to try for the stop.
The call on the ice was no goal, but replays showed the puck crossed the line before Khabibulin could make the play and Stalberg was awarded his fifth goal of the season after a short review.
The pace picked up after the tying goal, and each team had a couple of solid chances to move in front. Yakupov shot off the post on one power-play opportunity, and Khabibulin stopped Hossa on a short-handed chance.
"I think for us it would have been a big statement game if we were able to break the streak," Gagner said. "But at the same time, once we didn't do that, we wanted to find a way to get it in overtime and were unable to do that as well. So it was unfortunate we kind of squandered the lead there."
Edmonton moved in front in the first period after Duncan Keith lost his footing and coughed up the puck deep in Chicago's end. Lennart Petrell picked it up and skated in all alone on Emery, who stopped his backhand attempt. The rebound went out to Petry, who sent it over the prone goalie at 4:28.
Just over a minute later, Kane skated to the middle of the ice and beat Khabibulin with a slick backhander for his 10th goal of the season. It was his first goal since Feb. 10 at Nashville, ending a six-game drought.
"We keep finding ways to win," said Sharp, who picked up his 400th career point on the assist in overtime. "That's important at any time of the year. Those one-goal games, we're on the right side of them. We were thankful to pull it out today."
NOTES: Chicago closed out a 6-0-1 homestand. ... Edmonton F Taylor Hall served the second of a two-game suspension for his hit on Minnesota's Cal Clutterbuck on Thursday. ... Blackhawks C Dave Bolland missed his second straight game with an upper-body injury. Chicago also scratched D Sheldon Brookbank and LW Brandon Bollig for the second straight night. ... Ds Ryan Whitney and Theo Peckham were the other scratches for the Oilers. ... The Blackhawks improved to 10-0-3 in one-goal games.

The Army will release a request for proposals for the 10-year, $5 billion Information Technology Enterprise Solutions-3 Hardware (ITES-3H) contract in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, according to a notice published Aug. 29.
The Computer Hardware, Enterprise Software and Solutions program plans to release a draft RFP in the first quarter of the fiscal year, according to an announcement on the Federal Business Opportunities website. CHESS is the Army's primary source for IT purchases, along with the Army Contracting Command-National Capital Region.
The ITES-3H contract will support the Army's requirements for commercial hardware, such as servers, workstations, desktop PCs, notebook PCs, thin clients and networking equipment. It will also cover related products, such as printers and scanners, and IT upgrades, the notice states.
Officials pointed out that the indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract is not for buying individual products. Buyers may only place orders for desktop and notebook computers if the orders are part of a complete system or part of a total design solution.
The contract has a three-year base period with two one-year options. Officials plan to make eight awards, with three of them going to small businesses.
ITES-3H is No. 8 on Washington Technology's list of the top 20 largest defense contracts to be awarded in the coming year.

Friday's Red Sox-Astros matchups: Clay Buchholz vs. Dallas Keuchel
|08.15.14 at 9:44 am ET
The Red Sox will continue their four-game series against the Astros on Friday at Fenway Park, sending Clay Buchholz to the hill against Dallas Keuchel.
Buchholz (5-7, 5.99 ERA) will be looking to find some consistency against Houston, as the right-hander has been hot and cold for most of the season.
While Buchholz did post back-to-back starts in which he allowed seven earned runs over five innings from July 28-Aug. 3, he rebounded in his last outing Saturday against the Angels, allowing three earned runs over eight innings of work while striking out eight. At one point Buchholz retired 11 batters in a row, but in the end Boston was a dealt a 5-4 loss after a grueling 19-inning affair.
"I thought tonight was probably his best outing of the year. He was outstanding. He had a good curveball when he was in fastball counts and slowed some hitters down," said Red Sox manager John Farrell after the game. "He had three distinct pitches tonight and looked like the Clay Buchholz we know."
Buchholz turned in one of his best outings of the season during his last appearance against the Astros on July 13, tossing a shutout while striking out 12 Houston batters. In two career starts against the Astros, Buchholz is 2-0 with a 1.08 ERA.
Keuchel (10-8, 3.07 ERA) will be looking to bounce back from a perplexing loss against the Rangers Sunday. The southpaw started off the game by retiring the first 10 batters, but eventually was tagged for five runs on six hits over six innings of work.
"You can't be on your game all the time, but I thought the first three innings was about as good as I've been this season," Keuchel said after the game. "It's very frustrating. We'll come back and be better."
Keuchel has struggled since the All-Star break, posting a 2-5 record with a 4.14 ERA in nine starts, allowing 72 hits in 58 2/3 innings during that streak. The 26-year-old lefty was knocked around in his only appearance against the Red Sox on Aug. 6, 2013, giving up three hits and four earned runs in just 2/3 of an inning.
Astros vs. Buchholz (RHP)
Jose Altuve has one single and three strikeouts in eight plate appearances against Buchholz.
Robbie Grossman has one single and three strikeouts in seven plate appearances against Buchholz.
Chris Carter (6 plate appearances): .333/.333/.500, 1 double, 1 strikeout
Jason Castro (6): .400/.500/.400, 2 singles, 2 strikeouts
Matt Dominguez has three strikeouts in six plate appearances against Buchholz.
Marwin Gonzalez has one double and three strikeouts in six plate appearances against Buchholz.
Jon Singleton has one strikeout in three plate appearances against Buchholz.
Carlos Corporan (1): .000/.000/.000
Red Sox vs. Keuchel (LHP)
Yoenis Cespedes (10): .500/.500/.600, 1 double, 2 strikeouts
Mike Napoli has one walk in three plate appearances against Keuchel.
Brock Holt (1): .000/.000/.000
David Ortiz has a single and one RBI in one plate appearance against Keuchel.
Dustin Pedroia has one single and one RBI in one plate appearance against Keuchel.

Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
It was a good way to have an idea about Tuscany area and its beautiful scenery, towns and vineyards. Incredible to see the leaning tower of Pizza.
My favorite tour ever! The motor coach was comfortable, Sienna absolutely beautiful and Pisa was very cool. The highlight was lunch at an organic winery farm on a hill top overlooking the Tuscany hill side. Lunch was fabulous with wine tasting and an outstanding view of the Tuscany landscape. Our guide was awesome and the tour was money well spent. Thank you!!!
It was a really nice tour; the guide Gloria was really good.
Well organised
Tour was fantastic. We were given plenty of free time at every place we stopped to explore on our own. The tour stayed on schedule and we returned at the designated time. Olivia was our tour guide . She was great and answered any and every question anyone asked.
Olivia was fantastic, she was knowledgeable about all the areas we visited and helpful all day. the sienna walking tour was difficult to hear, as I think Donnatella the tour guide was not use to talking into a microphone and she was easier to hear without the earphones. we really enjoyed the farm tour also, lovely people and a great experience all round.
Regards Pam
first class organisation, information, guides. Full on day with lots of free time. Lunch and wine tasting superb.
Great 1 day snapshot of Tuscany. Our guide, Elizia was personable, informative, attentive to every detail. A very pleasant day.
It was the best tour in itly and elisa the lady to was with us is very profesional and perfect tour guide
In one day I could see the best of tuscany
And if wasn't for my guide Stefano, it wouldn't be fun
Thanks stefano
excellent tour. Sandy was entertaining and knowledgeable.
I was skeptical about the itinerary but based on reviews decided to give it a try. We loved it..our guide, Olivia was very knowledgeable and a master at getting the group where we needed to be without making us feel rushed. The variety of activities gave us a taste of Tuscany...climbing to the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa at sunset was the perfect activity at the end of a fabulous day! Don't miss this tour!
Creative Travel ...
Limited time in Florence . This is a must do. Fantastic
I really enjoyed this tour. Antonella was a great guide. She gave great information during the entire trip. Each city was fun and we were given a little time to ourselves on each leg of the trip. The farm was a great place to have lunch, but I wish they would have taken a little more time for the tour of the farm. I feel it was very rushed and the guide did not wait to continue the talking until the group had gathered... I feel like I missed about 50% of what she had to say. Overall it was fantastic though and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a day trip through Tuscany.
Great day out. Only thing I would have liked is more time in San Gimignano as there wasn't enough time to see it properly. Lunch was great. Well worth doing.

LoBiondo Holds Hearing to Examine Impact of Coast Guard and EPA Regulations on Job Growth in the Maritime Sector
The Subcommittee on Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation, chaired by U.S. Rep. Frank LoBiondo (R-NJ), held a hearing on Thursday, April 26th, to review the status of regulations by the United States Coast Guard and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and how such regulations impact the maritime industry.
The following is the statement of Chairman LoBiondo:
"The Subcommittee is meeting today to review regulations affecting the maritime industry. We are interested in how the implementation of these regulations is impacting vessel safety, the flow of commerce through our ports, and the ability to grow jobs in the maritime sector.
"The Coast Guard has broad authority to regulate maritime commerce, including establishing and enforcing rules to ensure mariner safety and vessel and facility security. The Coast Guard and the EPA share extensive authority to write regulations for the protection of the environment. With such vast authority comes great responsibility to regulate industry in a fair and reasonable way. This hearing will focus on ensuring that these agency's rulemakings are just that: fair and reasonable.
"Maritime commerce is essential to the U.S. economy. While regulations must address concerns related to safety, security, and stewardship, they must also balance the importance of maintaining the free flow of maritime commerce. Domestic shipping alone is responsible for over 500,000 American jobs and $100 billion in annual economic output. In addition, 90 percent of all global trade and over 25 percent of our Gross Domestic Product moves via the sea. With the economy still in a fragile state and unemployment at record levels, it is imperative the federal government foster an atmosphere where our maritime industry can compete and expand.
"To that end, I am concerned about the cost and impact of several recent and forthcoming rulemakings that will affect the maritime sector. Specifically, rules requiring fishing vessel certification and examinations, the installation of ballast water treatment systems aboard vessels, and the establishment of methods to reduce air emissions from vessels could have tremendous impacts on the economy. If these and other rules are not written and executed in a common sense manner, I am concerned they could make it financially impossible to operate a vessel in U.S. waters.
"We need to ensure the safety of commercial fishing, but we need to do so in a way that maintains the economic viability of this industry for vessel owners and operators. The Coast Guard has already said on record that it does not have the resources to meet the looming October 15th deadline to conduct fishing vessel examinations. If the Service still believes that it cannot meet this deadline, then we need a clear answer on what the impact will be on the industry on October 16th so we can take appropriate action to ensure that thousands of fishermen are not forced out of work.
"Ballast water regulations are a major concern for this Subcommittee. Currently, the Coast Guard and the EPA have developed separate regulations under two different federal laws to govern the discharge of ballast water. And although the agencies have worked together to try to reach uniformity, the programs still differ in implementation dates, vessels covered, geographic reach, enforcement, and penalties for non compliance. And this will only become less uniform and more confusing and burdensome for vessel owners as each individual state adds its own discharge requirements on top of the EPA's program. Under the EPA's current program, 29 states and tribes have added their own differing discharge standards. I think it is completely unreasonable to ask vessel operators to comply with 2 federal standards and as many as 29 different, contradictory, and unachievable state and tribal standards. The situation is out of control. Some of these states plan to enforce ballast water discharge standards in the next year for which no treatment technology has yet been invented. The Commercial Vessel Discharges Reform Act, which originated in this Subcommittee and passed in the House, will correct these issues by creating a uniform national standard for ballast water. I strongly encourage our colleagues in the other body to show their understanding of the gravity of this situation by adopting the bill as soon as possible
"I am also concerned about the implementation of the North America Emissions Control Area. Beginning August 1st, vessels transiting the U.S. EEZ will need to burn lower sulfur fuel. While I understand the critical importance of improving the air quality in our coastal regions, I am concerned the EPA and Coast Guard have yet to establish a process on how they will deal with vessels whose engines cannot burn the lower sulfur fuels; or vessels that cannot acquire the new fuel because it is not widely available; or vessels seeking to achieve the same air quality improvements through alternative compliance methods and foreign equivalences. Finally, I am concerned the agencies did not properly consider the economic impact this rule will have on smaller vessels that must travel entirely within the EEZ. It seems to me that both agencies have a lot of work to do in the next three months, if they expect to implement the new rules in a fair manner.
"Finally, I am concerned over ongoing delays in the processing of merchant mariner credentials and inefficiencies in the National Maritime Center's medical certification process.

If your cat isn't interested in his food, it's essential to work with your veterinarian to make sure there isn't a health reason why he's lost his appetite. Once you get an all-clear on that end, here are a few special tricks to get a healthy cat healthy cat eating again:
Cats may be the original food snobs: In addition to having strong likes and dislikes, they often turn their noses up at food that's been sitting around. This can be especially true of canned food, which does get pretty unpleasant when its been left out (would you take a taste?!). Instead of leaving a day's worth (or more) of food out, offer your cat small portions, fresh from the package. If he doesn't eat it after 30 minutes, try again in a couple hours.
Warming your cat's food amps up its flavor and aroma. A few seconds in the microwave will do the trick.
Over the years, some of my veterinary clients have developed a simple "Is my cat sick?" test to rely on at home. If the cat won't eat a regular meal, they chalk it up to a fussy day; however, if the cat rejects her favorite treat (a bit of roasted chicken or a smidge of meaty baby food), they know to call the veterinarian. No one knows your cat better than you do, and if she suddenly rejects a food she loves, it's worth taking seriously.
It's one thing to be finicky, but something else entirely when your cat starts losing weight. If lack of appetite is an ongoing concern with your cat and she's lost a half-pound or more, ask her veterinarian about the possibility of a medication to stimulate her appetite. Some antidepressant and anti-anxiety meds can help switch a cat's appetite from the "off" position back into "on."
And if that doesn't help, talk with your veterinarian some more to work on other solutions to keep your cat healthy.

Researchers from various disciplines gather at the Oeschger Centre to consider adaptation strategies for Switzerland with regard to climate change. In a large Sinergia project, they are looking for economically and politically viable concepts which will promise protection from the impact of climate change.
With this project, the Bernese climate economists bid farewell to interdisciplinary research that leads them down a one-way street. Until now, the cooperation between scientists and economists looked like this: climatologists and hydrologists provided data, which the economists used as input for their models. There was no real scientific exchange.
Things will be different with this project, CCAdapt, which stands for Climate Change Extremes and Adaptation Strategies considering Uncertainty and Federalism. "For the first time we're doing science in a dialogue," promises economics professor Gunter Stephan. "This is possible because the questioning in this project is very focused." Stephan, the initiator and director of CCAdapt, emphasizes the network nature of this wide-ranging project. Communication flows in every direction. The eight participating CCAdapt research groups – five of them at the Oeschger Centre – are all in contact with each other. The political scientists will talk with the climate economists, hydrologists with public finance professionals and microeconomics specialists with climate risk experts.
Research that can be applied to policy
With a budget of CHF 1.1 million, the three-year Sinergia project is one of the largest funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation. When describing the project's goals, Gunter Stephan says, "We want to develop adaptation measures that find political acceptance." CCAdapt aims to improve the scientific handling of adaptation measures while creating tools which could, for example, be used in regional planning.
"We're not giving policy advice; however, we're doing scientific research that could be incorporated into policy," Gunter Stephan explains.
CCAdapt works in several stages. The starting point is the knowledge that someday, Switzerland will have to live with the consequences of climate change. No matter how tough it is, climate policy can't prevent that change; at best it can slow it down. Adaptation measures are inevitable. But where, when and how should these measures be introduced?
Scientific ping-pong in a network
As a first step, the CCAdapt team plans to address these questions in a theoretical sense and clarify which of the many heterogeneous adaptation strategies would promise optimum results under the given and uncertain conditions. Then these theoretical concepts will be modified to allow for empirical analysis. The challenge? The equilibrium models used by the climate economists will have to be modified – so much so that they account for spatial particularities and the type of climatic threat.
In a fourth step, CCAdapt will look into the implementation of adaptation strategies, considering the federal structure of Switzerland. Gunter Stephan: "We want to clarify how the political process could be steered so that the strategies could actually be implemented." And finally, the tools and methods developed by the team will be tested in a case study: adjusting to flooding – something that could become more common and severe in Switzerland as a result of climate change.
In concrete terms, the exchange between the four thematic research teams should be lively. Input from one group should raise questions within the other groups. Thanks to the network, the questions and answers should bounce back and forth in a form of scientific ping-pong.
When does flood protection make economic sense?
For adaptation measures, there's a maximum financial expenditure that makes economic sense. The theory group will define this value for adapting to flooding and pass it on to the impact group, which will calculate to what extent this maximum value would correspond to a flood and how likely such an event would occur. In turn, this data would be used by the modelling group.
For years, many scientific disciplines have been addressing climate change and its consequences. But they have varying levels of knowledge. "The natural sciences have a relatively clear picture," says Gunter Stephan, "However, the image of climate change from a social and economic perspective is still quite blurry." There's a reason why economists, for example, have only recently begun focusing on climate change. For a long time, people in politics only talked about tackling climate problems at their roots; for example, by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Nobody really considered the need to find solutions to the consequences of climate change. "In the area of adaptation, today we have a relatively high need for research," says Gunter Stephan. "We want to help fill that knowledge gap with the CCAdapt project."

Cornerback meets with Rex Ryan, GM Aaron Wilson
After an unexcused absence for two days, New York Jets cornerback Dimitri Patterson met with coach Rex Ryan and general manager John Idzik on Sunday night.
That's all the team had to say on the m atter.
The Jets didn't know where Pattterson was for days after he didn't show up for the game Friday night and was unreachable.
The Jets may discipline Patterson.
Patterson's absence remains unexplained at least publicly.
"Without putting an APB out, you're trying everything you can," Ryan said. "You're trying all the numbers you have, you name it. Obviously, as the game wore on, we still had a major concern."
Idzik said it wasn't a legal matter.
"Not to my knowledge," he said. "We have a very cursory knowledge of what's going on. That's the extent of it. We know he's okay and haven't been able to communicate with him. That's it in a nut shell."

Letter: EMU tax shock
Saturday 12 September 1998
Most economists believe that, in the long run, taxes will be harmonised throughout "Euroland". In reality it is hard to see how a single currency zone can work in the long term without broad fiscal harmony throughout the zone. This in turn would mean that each Euroland country would be raising roughly the same proportion of GDP in tax.
The average tax/GDP ratio in the Euroland countries is currently around 45 per cent, and it is reasonable to assume that harmonisation would result in an overall Euroland tax/GDP ratio of around 45 per cent. Currently, the UK's tax/GDP ratio is just under 38 per cent. Were the UK, as a future member of EMU, to move its tax/GDP ratio up to 45 per cent, this would be the equivalent of increasing the basic rate of income tax by 30p in the pound to 53p in the pound. The actual tax changes as a result of harmonising the UK tax system with the rest of Euroland would of course be myriad.
Some would no doubt argue against such a tax hike, whilst others would point out that it would enable our run-down public services to be transformed. What is surprising is that the issue has not featured much in the debate on whether or not the UK should join EMU.
