ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Secretary proposes to amend the regulations governing the performance indicators for the Projects With Industry (PWI) program (34 CFR Part 379). The PWI program is authorized by section 621 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (the Act). The purpose of the PWI program is to create and expand job and career opportunities for individuals with disabilities in the competitive labor market by engaging the talent and leadership of private industry as partners in the rehabilitation process, to identify competitive job and career opportunities and the skills needed to perform those jobs, to create practical job and career readiness and training programs, and to provide job placements and career advancement. The Secretary is proposing to change the performance indicators for this program in order to improve project performance, enhance project accountability, better reflect statutory intent, and reduce grantee burden. DATES: Comments must be received by the Department on or before August 24, 1998. ADDRESSES: All comments concerning these proposed regulations should be addressed to Fredric K. Schroeder, Commissioner, Rehabilitation Services Administration, U.S. Department of Education, 600 Independence Avenue, S.W., Room 3028, Mary E. Switzer Building, Washington, D.C. 20202-2531. Comments may also be sent through the Internet to: firstname.lastname@example.com. You must include the term ``PWI'' in the subject line of the electronic comment. To ensure that public comments have maximum effect in developing the final regulations, the Department urges commenters to identify clearly the specific section or sections of the proposed regulations that each comment addresses and to arrange comments in the same order as the proposed regulations. Comments that concern information collection requirements must be sent to the Office of Management and Budget at the address listed in the Paperwork Reduction Act section of this preamble. A copy of those comments may also be sent to the Department representative named in this section. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas E. Finch, U.S. Department of Education, 600 Independence Avenue, S.W., Room 3038, Mary E. Switzer Building, Washington, D.C. 20202-2575. Telephone: (202) 205-8292. Individuals who use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD) may call the Federal Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Eastern time, Monday through Friday. Individuals with disabilities may obtain this document in an alternate format (e.g. Braille, large print, audiotape, or computer diskette) on request to the contact person listed in the preceding paragraph. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Overview of Proposed Changes The Secretary proposes to amend the regulations governing the application content requirements and performance indicators for the PWI program in order to clarify statutory intent, enhance project accountability, and reduce grantee burden. In a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published in the Federal Register on January 22, 1996 (61 FR 1672), the Secretary invited comments on changes needed to improve the compliance indicators. The comments received in response to this solicitation, as well as comments provided by participants in focus group meetings held by the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA), were used to develop these proposed changes. In addition, the Secretary used a June 1994 report on the PWI program entitled ``Assessment of Performance Indicators for the Projects With Industry Program,'' prepared for the Department by Research Triangle Institute (RTI), which identifies needed changes in the PWI performance indicators and scoring system. To assist in revising the compliance indicators and determining the proposed minimum performance levels, the Secretary also analyzed grantee performance on the current PWI compliance indicators. Based on information from public comments, the 1994 report prepared by RTI, and experience in the implementation of the program, the Secretary is proposing one addition to the application content requirements and a number of changes in the compliance indicators. The Secretary believes that the additional application content requirement regarding the proposed cost per placement is needed in light of the proposed changes to the compliance indicators and to ensure that cost- effective projects are selected for funding. The Secretary proposes to reduce the number of indicators from nine to five, with an additional indicator to be established at a later date. These compliance indicators establish minimum performance levels in areas that the Secretary believes are the most critical and most closely related to the program's purpose and evaluation standards. To be eligible for continued funding under the proposed system, projects must meet or exceed the minimum performance level for each compliance indicator. However, projects have two opportunities to meet these criteria before funding is terminated. If, based upon the end-of-year data submission, a project fails any compliance indicator, the project may request that funding be continued for the first six months of the subsequent project year and agree to submit additional data. At the end of the six-month period the project must submit the data collected for those six months to demonstrate that it has passed all the compliance indicators. If the project passes all the indicators, funding will continue for the remainder of the project year. In this NPRM, the Secretary proposes minimum performance levels for five indicators. The proposed compliance indicators measure a project's (a) placement rate; (b) average change in weekly earnings; (c) percentage of individuals placed who have severe disabilities; (d) percentage of individuals placed who were unemployed at least six months at project entry; and (e) variation between projected and actual average cost per placement. In addition, the Secretary proposes to collect data from projects on change in earnings and job retention. The Secretary will use these data to determine the need, and appropriate performance levels, for new indicators on change in earnings and job retention. Section-by-Section Summary of the Proposed Changes The following is a summary of the proposed changes contained in this NPRM. * In Sec. 379.21(a)(4), the Secretary proposes to add an application content requirement that would require a description of the factors that justify a project's projected cost per placement. These factors may include the objectives of the project, the types of services that will be provided, the population that is being targeted, and the proposed geographicservice area. This is the only proposed addition to the current application content requirements. [[Page 34219]] * In Sec. 379.50, the Secretary proposes to remove the reference to minimum composite score and replace it with a reference to minimum performance levels on all compliance indicators. Under the proposed system, grantees must attain a minimum performance level on each of the indicators rather than achieve an overall composite score. Grantees must pass every indicator in order to receive continuation funding. * In Secs. 379.51 and 379.52, the Secretary proposes to delete all references to performance ranges in accordance with the proposed change to a system in which grantees must pass all compliance indicators. The proposed change deletes the reference to composite scores and requires grantees to pass each indicator by demonstrating performance at or above the established minimum levels. * In Sec. 379.53, the Secretary proposes to replace the current nine performance indicators with five compliance indicators. The major areas of change are outlined in the following sections entitled ``Compliance Indicators to be Eliminated'' and ``Proposed Compliance Indicators and Performance Levels.'' * In Sec. 379.54, the Secretary proposes to make conforming changes to reflect the change from composite scoring to a pass/fail system. As under the current regulations, projects must submit data from the most recent complete project year to demonstrate compliance, but (if project performance during the most recent complete year does not meet minimum performance levels) may opt to submit data from the first six months of the current project year. In either case, projects must submit data to demonstrate compliance with minimum performance levels on all of the indicators. Compliance Indicators To Be Eliminated The Secretary proposes to replace the current nine indicators with five compliance indicators. In addition, the Secretary proposes to collect data that may lead to a modified indicator on change in earnings and data that may form the basis of a future indicator on job retention. Four compliance indicators would be eliminated, including cost per placement, projected placement rate, percent of persons served whose disabilities are severe, and percent of persons served who have been unemployed at least six months prior to project entry. The Secretary believes the proposed indicators better reflect the goals of the PWI program, place a greater emphasis on project outcomes, and reduce grantee information collection and reporting burden. The Secretary proposes to eliminate the cost per placement indicator and modify the projected cost per placement indicator. The Secretary maintains the importance of serving and placing individuals at the lowest possible cost to the Federal Government, but believes it is not feasible to establish a cost per placement standard that is reasonable for all projects supported under the PWI program. The Secretary recognizes that some projects may not be able to achieve a low cost per placement, particularly projects that serve a high percentage of individuals with severe disabilities, provide extensive services, or serve rural areas. In addition, the Secretary is concerned that a uniform cost per placement standard may discourage projects from serving individuals who require extensive support services, job training, and other resources. Therefore, the Secretary believes it is more appropriate for grantees to determine an appropriate cost per placement and justify the proposed cost, based on the proposed project design and objectives, service population, and services to be provided. The proposed indicator would require that a project's actual cost per placement not exceed the projected cost per placement, as specified in the approved grant application, by more than 10 percent. The Secretary also proposes to eliminate the indicator on projected placement rate. The Secretary believes it is more appropriate to focus on a project's actual, rather than projected, success in placing individuals in competitive employment. Finally, the Secretary proposes to eliminate the two indicators that measure the extent to which projects serve individuals with severe disabilities and individuals who have been unemployed at least six months prior to project entry. While the Secretary believes that it is important to preserve the program's focus on individuals with severe disabilities and individuals who are unemployed, the Secretary believes it is more appropriate to judge projects based on the extent to which they are successful in assisting these individuals to achieve competitive employment. The Secretary therefore proposes to retain the two compliance indicators that measure the percentage of these individuals who are placed into competitive employment. Proposed Compliance Indicators and Performance Levels The proposed compliance indicators would measure grantee performance in five areas. The Secretary believes that the proposed indicators represent the most critical quantifiable aspects of project performance. In establishing minimum performance levels on each indicator, the Secretary reviewed project performance data, public comment in response to the NPRM published in the Federal Register on January 22, 1996, focus group discussions, and the RTI report. Placement rate. The Secretary proposes to retain the current placement rate indicator and raise the minimum performance level. The primary goal of the PWI program is to place individuals into competitive employment. Therefore, the Secretary views placement rate as a critical indicator of project success. Under the proposed indicator, projects would be required to place a minimum of 55 percent of individuals served into competitive employment. While higher than the current minimum placement rate of 40 percent, the Secretary believes the proposed performance level is both appropriate and realistic. Between 1990 and 1995, PWI projects reported an average placement rate of 61.2 percent. In comparison, in 1996 approximately 60.7 percent of individuals served by The State Vocational Rehabilitation Services Program achieved an employment outcome. The Secretary believes the partnerships with private industry and collaboration with State vocational rehabilitation agencies will enable every PWI project to achieve, at a minimum, the proposed placement rate of 55 percent. In addition, given the proposal to give more flexibility to projects on cost per placement (discussed in the following sections), the Secretary believes it is appropriate to raise performance expectations, particularly on this critical indicator. Average change in earnings. The Secretary proposes to modify the current indicator that measures average change in earnings by raising the minimum performance level. The current minimum performance level requires an average increase of $75 per week. The proposed regulations would change the required minimum performance level to $150 per week for projects that do not use a school-to-work or supported employment service delivery model. That is, the earnings of individuals who are placed into competitive employment by the project must increase by an average of at least $150 a week over earnings at the time of project entry. Concurrently, the Secretary proposes to collect data to determine the need for additional changes to this indicator. [[Page 34220]] The Secretary believes that the proposed increase in the minimum performance level is appropriate given both inflation and increases in the minimum wage since the original performance level for this indicator was set in 1989. In addition, the Secretary believes this proposed performance level is realistic based on project performance data that demonstrate an overall average change in earnings of $183 and $195 per week in fiscal years 1993 and 1994, respectively. The Secretary proposes to establish a lower performance level on this indicator for PWI projects that primarily serve secondary school students transitioning to work or that use a supported employment model. Based on a review of these types of projects, the Secretary has concluded that, by virtue of the individuals they serve and place, these projects might have difficulty meeting the change in earnings standard. The Secretary does not want to exclude these types of projects from the PWI program and, therefore, proposes a lower minimum performance level of $100 per week for these projects. Specifically, the Secretary proposes this lower standard for projects in which 75 percent or more of the individuals placed into competitive employment are students who are enrolled in secondary schools and who are working fewer than 30 hours per week and for projects in which at least 75 percent of individuals are placed into supported employment, as defined in 34 CFR 361(b)(45) and (46). All other projects will be subject to the higher standard. In addition to these changes, the Secretary is proposing to collect data to assess the need to modify the change in earnings indicator to measure change in earnings for two groups: (1) individuals who entered a project without earnings and (2) individuals who entered a project with earnings. The Secretary believes such a two-tiered indicator may be a more accurate means of measuring a project's impact on individual earnings. This proposed data collection is discussed in more detail in the section entitled ``Proposed Data Collection on Change in Earnings and Job Retention.'' Percent of individuals placed who are individuals with severe disabilities and percent of persons placed who have been unemployed for six months prior to project entry. The Secretary proposes to retain these two indicators at the current minimum performance level, which requires that 50 percent of those placed into competitive employment are individuals with severe disabilities and 50 percent are individuals who have been unemployed continuously for six months prior to project entry. The Secretary believes that it is appropriate to preserve the program's emphasis on placing into competitive employment individuals with severe disabilities and individuals who are unemployed for at least six months prior to program entry. Actual versus projected cost per placement. The Secretary proposes to revise the current indicator on projected cost per placement. The proposed indicator would require that a project's actual cost per placement not exceed the projected cost per placement, as specified in the approved grant application, by more than 10 percent. That is, the actual average cost per placement does not exceed 110 percent of the projected cost per placement. The Secretary proposes to allow each project to determine what is a reasonable cost per placement, based on factors such as project objectives, population and geographic area to be served, and services to be provided. As part of its grant application, a project would be required to provide a description of those factors that justify its projected cost per placement, including, but not limited to, the project's objectives, types of services, target population, and service area. A project chosen for funding would not be permitted to exceed by more than 10 percent, the projected cost per placement in its approved grant application. The Secretary believes that this revised approach to cost per placement allows flexibility in project design while encouraging each project to consider cost effectiveness in the development of its grant application. Proposed Data Collection on Change in Earnings and Job Retention In addition to the five compliance indicators, the Secretary is concurrently proposing to collect data to determine the need to modify the change in earnings indicator and to add an additional indicator on job retention. Change in earnings. While the current change in earnings indicator may demonstrate the average economic benefit of a project, the Secretary believes it does not measure the true extent to which the project improved the earnings of individual participants. The change in earnings as a result of project participation is likely to be significantly different for individuals who were unemployed at the time of project entry and who came to the project for job training and placement services than it is for individuals who held a wage-earning job at the time of project entry and who required career advancement services. The Secretary is considering the establishment of a two- tiered indicator to measure more adequately the effect of project services on the earnings of these two populations. However, the Secretary does not have sufficient data on which to base such a decision. Concurrent with the proposed application content and compliance indicator changes, the Secretary proposes to collect data to determine the need for a modification to the change in earnings indicator to measure project performance for two groups: individuals who entered the project without earnings and individuals who entered with earnings. The Secretary proposes to require projects to report the following data for the next three years: (1) For individuals with no earnings at the time of project entry, average hourly wage and average hours worked per week at placement. (2) For individuals with earnings at the time of project entry, the average hourly wage and average hours worked per week, both at the time of project entry and at placement. The Secretary plans to use these data to decide whether a two- tiered indicator would be a more accurate means of gauging the earnings impact of the job training and career advancement services provided through the PWI program, and what performance levels would be appropriate for such an indicator. Job retention. The Secretary is concurrently proposing to collect data to determine the need to modify the change in earnings indicator and whether to add an additional indicator on job retention. The Secretary believes job retention is a critical indicator of project success because it demonstrates the quality of placements achieved by projects. A high job retention rate may indicate consumer satisfaction with the placement, appropriate job matching, and effective follow-up services. In order to sample projects' job retention rates, the Secretary proposes that projects report the number of individuals who become unemployed within three months after placement, within six months after placement, and within nine months after placement. In accordance with Sec. 379.5(b)(7), placement occurs after the individual has held the job for 90 days. The intent of the 90-day period is to ensure that an individual is at least initially stabilized on a job. The proposed data collection would require projects to track each individual for up to nine months after placement or up to one year after the individual's initial job entry. At the end of the year, the project must report three separate figures: [[Page 34221]] * The number of individuals who were unable to maintain employment during the first three-month period after placement (the fourth through sixth months of employment). * The number of individuals who were unable to maintain employment during the second three-month period after placement (the seventh through ninth month of employment). * The number of individuals who were unable to maintain employment during the third three-month period after placement (the tenth through twelfth month of employment). For the purpose of this data collection, an individual can change jobs and still be considered to be employed as long as there is no gap in employment. In order to include all placements, projects may have to include individuals who were unable to maintain employment during the reporting year but who obtained placements in the previous reporting year. For example, if the reporting year is from October 1997 to September 1998, an individual who was placed in August 1997 but left the job in December 1997 would be reported as someone who was unable to maintain employment during the second three-month period after placement. The Secretary does not believe this will be a significant burden to projects, since under section 621(a)(2)(E) projects are required to provide, as necessary, support and career advancement services to individuals after they are placed. In addition, as part of the annual evaluation plan, projects must provide information on the number of project participants who were terminated from project placements and the duration of those placements. The Secretary thus believes projects already track individuals after they are placed. The job retention indicator would be established after the Secretary has collected and evaluated data for at least three years. Once collection and analysis of the data are completed, the Secretary would determine whether to establish a new indicator to measure job retention. Goals 2000: Educate America Act The Goals 2000: Educate America Act (Goals 2000) focuses the Nation's education reform efforts on eight National Education Goals and provides a framework for meeting them. Goals 2000 promotes new partnerships to strengthen schools and expands the Department's capacities for helping communities to exchange ideas and obtain information needed to achieve the goals. These proposed regulations would address the National Education Goals that every adult American will be literate and will possess the knowledge and skills necessary to compete in a global economy and exercise the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. The proposed regulations would further the objectives of this Goal by ensuring that only those projects that are successful in making persons with disabilities part of the global economy and in allowing them to exercise their rights as citizens to participate in the national labor market continue to receive Federal funding. Executive Order 12866 1. Potential Costs and Benefits These proposed regulations have been reviewed in accordance with Executive Order 12866. Under the terms of the order the Secretary has assessed the potential costs and benefits of this regulatory action. The potential costs associated with the proposed regulations are those resulting from statutory requirements and those determined by the Secretary to be necessary for administering this program effectively and efficiently. Burdens specifically associated with information collection requirements are identified and explained elsewhere in this preamble under the heading Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. In assessing the potential costs and benefits--both quantitative and qualitative--of these proposed regulations, the Secretary has determined that the benefits of the proposed regulations justify the costs. The Secretary has also determined that this regulatory action does not unduly interfere with State, local, and tribal governments in the exercise of their governmental functions. To assist the Department in complying with the specific requirements of Executive Order 12866, the Secretary invites comment on whether there may be further opportunities to reduce any potential costs or increase potential benefits resulting from these proposed regulations without impeding the effective and efficient administration of the program. Summary of Potential Costs and Benefits The potential costs and benefits of these proposed regulations are discussed elsewhere in this preamble under the following headings: Overview of proposed changes, and Potential costs and benefits. The Secretary believes the changes proposed in this NPRM would improve the PWI program regulations and would yield substantial benefits in terms of improved accountability and performance and reduced burden. As stated in the supplementary information section of this preamble, the Secretary believes the proposed regulations reduce grantee burden by reducing the number and complexity of the compliance indicators and improve accountability by focusing on the most critical areas of project performance. The Secretary has determined that the potential benefits of these proposed changes justify the potential costs to grantees. 2. Clarity of the Regulations Executive Order 12866 requires each agency to write regulations that are easy to understand. The Secretary invites comments on how to make these proposed regulations easier to understand, including answers to questions such as the following: (1) Are the requirements in the proposed regulations clearly stated? (2) Do the proposed regulations contain technical terms or other wording that interferes with their clarity? (3) Does the format of the proposed regulations (grouping and order of sections, use of headings, paragraphing, etc.) aid or reduce their clarity? Would the proposed regulations be easier to understand if they were divided into more (but shorter) sections? (A ``section'' is preceded by the symbol ``Sec. '' and a numbered heading; for example, Sec. 379.51 What are program compliance indicators?). (4) Is the description of the proposed regulations in the ``Supplementary Information'' section of this preamble helpful in understanding the proposed regulations? How could this description be more helpful in making the proposed regulations easier to understand? (5) What else could the Department do to make the proposed regulations easier to understand? A copy of any comments that concern how the Department could make these proposed regulations easier to understand should be sent to Stanley M. Cohen, Regulations Quality Officer, U.S. Department of Education, 600 Independence Avenue, S.W. (Room 5121, FB-10B), Washington, D.C. 20202-2241. Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification The Secretary certifies that these proposed regulations would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The small entities that would be affected by these proposed regulations are government, nonprofit, and for-profit organizations that receive Federal [[Page 34222]] funds under this program. However, the regulations would not have a significant economic impact on these entities because the regulations would not impose excessive regulatory burdens or require unnecessary Federal supervision. These regulations would impose minimal requirements to ensure the proper expenditure of program funds. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 Sections 379.21 and 379.54 contain information collection requirements. As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507(d)), the Department of Education has submitted a copy of these sections to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for its review. Collection of Information: Projects With Industry These proposed regulations would affect entities eligible to apply for and receive grants under the PWI program, including for-profit and nonprofit agencies or organizations with the capacity to create and expand job and career opportunities for individuals with disabilities, designated State units, labor unions, employers, community rehabilitation program providers, trade associations, and Indian tribes and tribal organizations. These information collection requirements would affect applicants for new awards and organizations and entities already receiving assistance under the PWI program. The Department needs to collect this information in order to fulfill statutory requirements regarding the compliance indicators (in section 621(f) of the Act). All information is to be collected and reported once a year, with the exception of that which is required of all applicants for new awards in Sec. 379.21(a). This section requires responses from every organization or entity that applies for a new award under the PWI program. Annual reporting and recordkeeping burden for these collections of information is estimated to average 30 hours for each response for 105 respondents, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Thus, the total annual reporting and recordkeeping burden for these collections is estimated to be 3,150 hours. Organizations and individuals desiring to submit comments on the information collection requirements should direct them to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, OMB, Room 10235, New Executive Office Building, Washington, D.C. 20503; Attention: Desk Officer for the U.S. Department of Education. The Department considers comments by the public on these proposed collections of information in-- * Evaluating whether the proposed collections of information are necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Department, including whether the information will have practical utility; * Evaluating the accuracy of the Department's estimate of the burden of the proposed collections of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; * Enhancing the quality, usefulness, and clarity of the information to be collected; and * Minimizing the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology; e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. OMB is required to make a decision concerning the collections of information contained in these proposed regulations between 30 and 60 days after publication of this document in the Federal Register. Therefore, a comment to OMB is best assured of having its full effect if OMB receives it within 30 days of publication. This does not affect the deadline for the public to comment to the Department on the proposed regulations. Intergovernmental Review This program is subject to the requirements of Executive Order 12372 and the regulations in 34 CFR Part 79. The objective of the Executive order is to foster an intergovernmental partnership and a strengthened federalism by relying on processes developed by State and local governments for coordination and review of proposed Federal financial assistance. In accordance with the order, this document is intended to provide early notification of the Department's specific plans and actions for this program. Invitation to Comment Interested persons are invited to submit comments and recommendations regarding these proposed regulations. All comments submitted in response to these proposed regulations will be available for public inspection, during and after the comment period, in Room 3330, Mary E. Switzer Building, 330 C Street, S.W., Washington, D.C., between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, Monday through Friday of each week except Federal holidays. On request, the Department supplies an appropriate aid, such as a reader or print magnifier, to an individual with a disability who needs assistance to review the comments or other documents in the public rulemaking docket for these proposed regulations. An individual with a disability who wants to schedule an appointment for this type of aid may call (202) 205-8113 or (202) 260-9895. An individual who uses a TDD may call the Federal Information Relay Service at 1-800-877-8339, between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Eastern time, Monday through Friday. To assist the Department in complying with the specific requirements of Executive Order 12866 and its overall requirement of reducing regulatory burden, the Secretary invites comments on whether there may be further opportunities to reduce any regulatory burdens found in these proposed regulations. Assessment of Educational Impact The Secretary particularly requests comments on whether the proposed regulations in this document would require transmission of information that is being gathered by or is available from any other agency or authority of the United States.

The Washington Redskins lost their second preseason game last night 12 to 10. During the game, three Redskins left the field with injuries.
The first on the night was Washington quarterback Jason Campbell. He got hit in the knee by Steelers defensive end Brett Keisel. X-rays showed that there is no ligament damage. He is just suffering from a bruised knee.
Later in the first half, Marcus Washington hobbled off the field with a dislocated elbow. They popped it back into place, and Washington is expected to be out for two weeks.
The worst injury was Mike Espy. The receiver ruptured his patellar tendon at the top of the knee cap. He has surgery ending surgery on Sunday.

Flies WANT beer booze and now we know why - yeast
Re: New Research? Really?
Where's the new research here other than they figured out why flies are drawn to the stuff?
That is the new research!
Those of us who have done research know that it is comprised of small steps, in the same way that a jigsaw puzzle is made up of small pieces.
I am not criticizing you personally, but many correspondents to The Register, in my opinion, fail to understand the research process and the human effort required.
Research finding tend to be dismissed too easily by those not involved in research. It's bleedin' obvious, or it's only done to get funding; rather than the satisfaction of curiosity.
There is too much of a "well it must be easy because I am no expert in this field, but I will give you my opinion anyway..." attitude and comment on research findings by people who seemingly have never done any serious research.
Dunning–Kruger effect. - Find out about it and see if you agree.
I rest my case.
Re: Microbes in yeast...
To Err... is to err
The Microbiology course I attended (Keele University, 1968) included a study of yeast and brewing. Microbes are small living things only visible under a microscope. Yeasts are small and living. True they are also eukaryotes as distinct from bacteria which are prokaryotic.
Other than a small error (apologies for my pedantry but we IT types must be correct) what you say is interesting.
Reg man looks through a Glass, darkly: Google's toy ploy or killer tech specs?
Re: Well, no I'm not in favour of thumping people as a general rule but.......
I take lots of photographs on my travels to various cities around the world - with a rather conspicuous camera. Over many years I have found that most people just smile, even if they are not the subject of the photo. A few act up for the camera (a large proportion but not all seem to be inebriated). A small minority ask questions about my interest, so I show them photos I have been taking, and the only objections I have received are from people involved in criminal activities - the last case was a young man stealing metal from a recycling bin in Skopje, Macedonia.
What would be really cool with google glass would be a second camera that photographed your eyeball to determine what you are looking at. Many years ago I helped a market research company purchase an eye-mark camera. An interesting and seriously expensive piece of kit costing £33,000 in 1990's money.

Has Intel side-stepped NGOs on conflict minerals in its chips?
Organisations and people use tools they are familiar with.
When an organisation, or a person, faces a problem they employ tools they are familiar with. A carpenter may choose a chisel, an electrican a screwdriver, a mechanic would choose some sort of wrench and an administrator would choose a sheet of paper or its electronic equivalent. It has probably always been like this and I would guess it always will. Blaming NGOs for complex formal procedures is like blaming dogs for barking. It is true, but that is what they do. What we really need are wise legislators who listen to the various groups proposing their own solutions and then choose the least worst solutions wisely. This will only happen when significant numbers of the 'citizenry' take notice and take interest in what is happening and make sufficient noise about it to drown out the siren calls of the various NGOs with their own axes to grind. Politicians listen to the noise and react accordingly - for they want to be re-elected.

Re: No Chance in Hell
Of course it won't work!
The Wright brothers took to the air in 1903, achieving what most people said was impossible. 65 years later the first Jumbo Jet flew.
The simple lesson from history is that engineers regularly achieve the impossible.
My experience is that "Well that won't work" really means that the speaker has no idea how to achieve the particular goal and won't accept that there may well be someone who does know how.
Planned SMUT TSUNAMI fails to wreak havoc on UK.gov email

You raise two interesting questions:
Are you arguing that politicians should be paid more to attract a higher level of smart people? - I'd be with you on that one.
However, just because a law is easily broken by someone with technical knowledge doesn't mean that it is a bad law. Are you really proposing that murder should be taken off the statute book because it is so easily committed with a sharp knife, a poisonous concoction or a firearm? Should burglary no longer be a crime because those with sufficient skill can force a lock or break down a door?
I think it is shameful that clever people, be they bankers, lawyers or IT people should believe themselves to be above the law because they are clever.
Apple dodged all UK corporation tax in 2012
Re: Why don't they just close the loopholes?
"One reason is because what does the corporation get for paying the tx ? Health Care,m nope, corporations don't use the NHS, Education, nope, and so on. "
This is not correct. Corporations do benefit from health care. Healthcare provides them with healthy workers who generate healthy profits. Healthcare also provides them with healthy customers who earn more money and can afford to pay for their products. The same is true of education, law enforcement, infrastructure.
Wealthy countries lead to wealthy corporations and wealthy corporations should lead to wealthy countries in a virtuous circle.
The problem is that not paying your fair share of tax penalises everyone else but you gain. It is parasitism. In my opinion, the way forward is to load cost onto companies who do not pay sufficient tax with an operating costs to make good the tax losses. Base it on turnover and charge fairly (from the point of view of those who compete with tax avoiding corporations) so that corporations cannot avoid the 'costs of doing business even though they avoid paying tax'.

Google denies smacking Botswanan ass
Re: Trying to be a bit clever...
You are correct. Much of Southern Africa drives on the left.
Interestingly, animals have right of way on roads in Botswana and people are really careful to avoid driving into them as recompense has to be paid to the owner.
On a recent trip through Botswana we counted 20 dead cows on the roadside. Not victims of traffic accidents but starvation. One's wealth is measured by the number of cows one owns and of course Botswana (or much of it) is in the Kalahari desert. Increased wealth leads to more cows and less food to go around. Even the elephants have a hard time surviving in the desert.

Take action on climate change OR THE PANDA GETS IT
Re: Cost of AGW
When bamboo flowers it then dies. This is a real problem because all the bamboo flowers at the same time so every 30 - 50 years you end up with a swathe of dead bamboo - and no sustenance for the local pandas. This means that pandas are forced to move to look for bamboo that has not flowered. If there are no access routes to these yummy bamboo locations its certain starvation for the pandas.
Eco-nomics: Was Stern 'wrong for the right reasons' ... or just wrong?
Re: "But we can't escape economics; it's a discipline we're cursed to continue."
It has always struck me that economists are historians who can do mathematics - Economics can tell you what has happened and offer a reasonable explanation as to why it has happened, but like History, hasn't a clue as to what is going to happen next. Everything (just like to weather) is just to complicated to make realiable predictions.
Perhaps we should treat Economics more like History. It is worth studying to enable us to avoid making the same mistake again.

Apple's patent insanity infects Silicon Valley
Re: Invention != Innovation
An alternative definiton set is Invention is the creative step of producing something completely new to solve an existing problem. Inovation is the organisational effort (including manufacture, marketing and sales) of getting the whatever it is to be adopted as the new way of solving the problem by governments, businesses or consumers.
Inventors dream up new stuff. Innovators get it to market.
Apple are not inventors of much but they are the best innovators since the last lot. (Microsoft?)
Assange granted asylum by Ecuador after US refused to rule out charges
Re: Best outcome.
Obviously, you have never been to Ecuador. You should be aware that the Chinese are playing a very large part in the exploitation of oil reserves in the Amazonian areas of Ecuador, much to the detriment of local Ecuadorians, including tribal peoples. At least the United States oil companies employed local people, unlike the Chinese who are shippping (or perhaps flying) in their own nationals to do the work.

Well actually you do contribute! - Money paid for second hand CDs will most likely be spent on new CDs by someone else.

Ministers kill off failed £12.7bn NHS IT revamp
The patient records need to be with the patient - it is after all their own data! This is what happens in France. You keep your own medical records. If you don't look after them then it's your problem. My experience in the UK is that you get some medical tests, and then two weeks later you go to see a specialist and you find that some of the essential notes have gone missing. In France you go for a test, and you take the results to your own doctor/specialist whatever yourself, very often on the same day.
End of UK local dialling in sight as numbers run out
Businesses use up large blocks of numbers
In ye olde days, when a business could afford a receptionist, a company would "own" a single telephone number but perhaps half a dozen overflow lines as well. Customers would dial in using the advertised telephone number, but because of the use of overflow lines, six (in this example) different customer calls could be handled simultaneously. The receptionist would transfer the calls to anyone of the let us say 30 internal telephone lines.
Now we shall come upto date. The company has sacked the receptionist and moved onto direct dialling. So the 6 lines still exist but they now handle 30 different telephone numbers. These extra numbers are purchased in blocks - and in our example, 100 numbers reserved for 30 direct dial numbers. So ye olde company used 1 telephone number and now it uses up 100 telephone numbers.
Pedants among you will want to add fax numbers - but they are just nit picking, like those of you who blame the use of extra telephone numbers on adsl only connections.

Microsoft publishes Wi-Fi data collection code
Woah! Too much self righteous moral indignation
Surely there needs to be a balance between the security of data that can only loosely be defined as 'personal' and the usefulness of such data.
If you broadcast your MAC address then don't complain if others use it to assist in navigation. If you don't want anyone to know switch the bloody wireless access point off!
To pre-emptly defend myself from the "it's my data brigade" I will tell you about the last time data useful for navigation was suppressed. During the war road signs, station signs and other useful labels were removed. The bright idea was to make life difficult for spies. The net result was chaos, as you can well imagine.
Foreign sounding gentleman "Excuse me, what station is this?"
Local person thinks 'bloody hell a whole carriage full of spies!"
Reality - a whole carriage full of French sailors (serving with the Royal Navy) wondering where the hell they are because they have to change trains at Crewe on the way to Liverpool to pick up a ship. (true story - one of the sailors was my dad)
Modern reality. GPS is great but it doesn't work in big cities with big tall buildings - where most of us live. WiFi identification data does work in pinpointing your location with a fair amount of precision.

Microsoft, Nokia, and RIM's wasted R&D billions
Invention and Innovation are separate activities with different risks and costs.
Traditionally, invention happens with individuals or very small groups - primarily because it is a creative process and it is people who have ideas. Innovation is the process of taking an invention to market, and it requires vast resources and many different activities - hence it is essentially the province of large corporations because only they have the resources to do it.
The cost of R&D - essentially the cost of innovation, is well recorded in the accounts of large corporations, and the full costs are exposed. This is not true of invention. Most inventions come to nothing, but the wasted efforts and expenses are not recorded, except perhaps in bankruptcy proceedings!
The economics of the two processes then are essentially different. Inventors are like writers (authors) whereby a very few strike it rich, but most fail to make any meaningful return on their work. Innovators are like film or theatre production companies, they take the works of a very few authors, and then spend huge sums of money trying to create a blockbuster.
Now look at the return on investment. The Oscar winning author makes a huge return on investment and the film company makes a big profit, but as return on their enormous investment, it is far more modest.
Of course, if we factor in the total costs of all the failed authors, I would suspect the the film companies actually turn in a better ROI, and this is why they purchase the creative output of independent authors.
I suspect it is the same with technology megacorps. Don't try and invent everything 'in house' because it is much cheaper to cherry-pick from the creativity of others, and by doing so you avoid the costs of failure.

No more books on Ireland's banned book list
Censorship - That takes me back to when I was a child.
In 1953 or perhaps '54 I live in a Devonshire village called Uffculme. On Tuesday nights my dad went to the pub next door to watch a film, and then on the next evening I would go down to the village hall, pay my 4d - ( just over 2p in modern currency) to watch the film.
Except one Wednesday my father told me that the village watch committee (O.K. all the men in the pub) has decided that the film was unsuitable. - Then he went to the pub to watch it again.
It's the old joke isn't it.
Chairman of the watch committee (local censorship committee), "Well gentlemen, shall we watch it one more time before we ban it?"
Any suggestions as the the banned film? ;-)

Energy-saving LEDs 'will not save energy', say boffins
So far you have only discussed the affluent world - most people don't live there!!!
Three observations from other parts of the world.
On a recent trip to Bolivia I took a torch so that I could read in bed, and get dressed in the morning. The best selling light bulbs are 25 watt incandescent which are unbeleivably dim - but when you don't earn a lot of money (average wage is equivalent to 2 US$ a day) electricity is unbelievable expensive and efficient light bulbs are just too expensive what do you expect?
Last October I was in Jakarta (capital of Indonesia). Driving through the city in the middle of the night I was amazed by the amount of darkness - the only lights on show were traffic lights, the very occasional advertisement and the red lights on top of sky-scrapers. Again, when energy is expensive it pays/saves to turn out the lights. In the prosperous parts of the world office lights seem to be left on all night, even though everyone has gone home!
A related matter - involving energy consumption, is the experience of much of Africa, which has become denuded of trees because of the seemingly insatiable hunger for firewood. Cooking on an open fire in very inefficient, so some good people invented a more efficient stove that required less wood. Did this work? - Well no! People used just as much wood, using the greater efficiency to cook more elaborate dishes.
So, the lesson I would suggest is that you should judge a statement not by your own circumstances, but considering the circumstances of others which may be very different from your own.

@Mexflyboy - Ants - they are the super-aggressors of the animal kindom
Compared to ants, humans are very meek and mild. If someone tells you 'only humans wage war' they have never studied ants. If ants developed nuclear weapons, the jungles of the world would be incinerated in a flash (well several flashes). Ants don't compromise - they just attack using their massive jaws and a bit of poison besides. In Amazonia one species of ant is known as the bullet ant - because if they bite you, you feel as if you have been shot.
BBC grabs stock photo of own building
Hulton Picture Library/Getty Pictures
The Hulton Picture Library - once owned by the BBC, was sold to Getty Images some time ago. I am sure there is some reciprocal arrangement between the Beeb and Getty, so it is probably much easier to grab a photo from a file than download it from a digital camera.
Polaroid enthusiasts unveil new instant film
Instant prints are brilliant
'Instamatic' type cameras are very useful in out of the way places. Three years ago a group of us travelled to Ecuador to visit some indiginous peoples. One member of the party took a polaroid type camera (actually Fuji) to give photographs to tribespeople who had never seen a picture of themselves. (If you live in a jungle you may not even own a mirror).
A rugged and simple device that doesn't rely on electrical supplies compensates for the cost of the film.
One day the whole world will own a mobile phone with a built in camera - and yes some tribal people owned one, but at the moment there are at least a billion people who do not.
It isn't every day that you meet a tribesman who hunts with a blowpipe - but when you do it is a wonderful experience to be able to give them a photograph of the meeting so they they have a momento - we can take out digital cameras back home and print out as many prints as we like.
Well done to the people who are keeping instant photography alive - there is still a need for it.

Japan kicks off electric car format war
Fast charging not really an option
Let us consider some numbers...
1 Litre of Petrol ~30MJ, so 5 Litres ~150MJ
Let us try and store the equivalent of 1 gallon of petrol in storage batteries (150MJ) and demand a recharge time of 5 minutes (300 seconds)
150MJ/300seconds = 500 kWatt - That's a serious drain on the National Grid. O.K. - it's less than an electric train but given that the local Tesco has 12 pumps we are talking about a maximum load of 6 MWatt dropping to nil very quickly when the store/station closes.
Slow charging is a much better option for the National Grid, especially if Wind Power forms a significant part of generating capacity. The car is charged up at night, while you sleep, and in the morning, if there is no wind, you have a cold breakfast and drive to work, or a hot breakfast and walk!
There's room for both rechargeable batteries (commuting and shopping cars) and fuel cells (long distance vehicles)
Bon-viveur boffin: Biomimetic bird, bat & bug bots are b*llocks
Insect wings move up and down in a special way...
Small insects, such as mosquitos, beat their wings at very high frequencies (which is why they buzz at high frequency). If you cut off the ends of the wings, they will beat at an even higher frequency. This shows that the wings are beating like the tines of a tuning fork, i.e. they are vibrating. The energy to accelerate and decelerate the wings as they move up and down is not wasted but stored and released elastically.
The insect's flight muscles simple add the energy required to move the air to generate lift.
Small insects fly with amazing efficiency. Insects are regularly carried enormous distances (even across the Atlantic) by the wind, with the creature only having the consume minute amounts of food to stay aloft for a couple of days or so.
Of course, it is a matter of scale. If you increased the size of a mosquito to a 747 the natural frequency of vibration of the wing would be so low that no useful aerodynamic forces would be generated.
Spammers add a new dimension to junk mail
Target spammers via credit card payment systems
Spam works because enough people buy spammed products using credit cards.
If the banks refused to handle payments to spammers then the flow of funds that drives spam would stop.
Perahps the solution to spam is not a spam message filter but a spam payments filter.
Plants will make greenhouse effect flooding worse
More is less.
Plants need to breathe in carbon dioxide, water vapour escapes in the process. If stomata close (because the plant has breathed in sufficient carbon dioxide) then less water vapour will escape.
Now though we all know that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, not so many appreciated that water vapour is a far more significant greenhouse gas. (Carbon dioxide concentration is <0.04%, water vapour is 0.9% of atmosphere.)
Clearly our climate models are too simplistic if they neglect the full effect of plants and conveniently neglect water vapour, dust and smoke, ozone and other significant drivers of our climate and weather.

Into Blue Springs
Personal Leadership
once again to my Insight
newsletter. This past week has been a very busy time
in Blue Springs, during which a number of new changes
have taken place. In this issue, we will recognize the
candidates who participated in the 2008 city
elections, highlighting when the elected will
officially take office, discuss an important decision
made with the proposed Evergreen transfer station, and
recognize a member of the City's staff working to make
a positive difference in the lives of our Blue
Springs' youth.
past week municipal elections were held throughout the
metro area, including Blue Springs.
On behalf of our entire community, I would like
to thank all the candidates who participated in this
year's municipal elections.
goes out to Carson Ross, Mayor-elect; Jeanie Lauer,
District 1 Councilman-elect; Kent Edmondson, District
2 Councilman-elect; and Ron Fowler, District 3
Councilman-elect. On Wednesday, I had the opportunity
to speak with Mayor-elect Carson Ross, offering my
full support in assisting with his transition to Mayor
of Blue Springs.
elected officials will be officially installed and
sworn into their positions at the April 21, City
Council meeting. The meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m.
Again, I would like to personally thank all the
elected officials, both incoming and outgoing members
of City Council, Jeff Quibell & Joe Stubblefield,
that have offered their time and commitment to serving
our city.
Council Delays Consideration of Transfer Station
Monday April 7, I, with our Council's support
recommended that the City Council continue the
public hearing of the proposed Evergreen
transfer/recycling station until both Blue
Springs and Independence gather enough
information about the project. Specifically,
this delay will allow the Council to gain a
better of understanding of what's being proposed
and how it could potentially affect the
environment, quality of life and residents
residing around the area in which the station is
being proposed. The hearing will be postponed
until the June 2, 2008 meeting of the City
Council. I recommend all our residents keep a
close eye on the City's website, continue doing
their own research about recycling stations, as
well as keep in touch with their respective City
Council members in order to learn more about the
proposed project.
Springs Officer uses D.A.R.E. to create positive youth
I have always said that I will be forever indebted to
Officer Waites for his role in reviving my interest in
the hobby of magic.
During my first year as mayor, Officer Waites
invited me to speak at a series of D.A.R.E.
graduations. It
was at these events that I decided to pull out some of
my old magic tricks to use as object lessons.
Since that time I have used my magic to perform
in over 200 different events, including school
assemblies, Eagle Scout Presentations, Street Flix,
Cub Pack Banquets, Children's Church events, City
Theatre performances, and various other events.
In two weeks I will be representing the Blue
Springs Rotary Club and performing at the Blue Springs
Chamber of Commerce's 6th Annual Administrative
Assistant's Day Luncheon.
even have a magic website with links to my videos
currently on YouTube!
Should you wish, feel free to check out the
mayorsmagic.com site and video links. More
importantly, please take some time this week and read
the article written by Officer Waits in the Examiner
you again Officer Waites for your continued commitment
and service to the students and schools of our

The Make a Change Organization's goal is to get people young and old out in the community working for the good of the community.
Wondering how you can help? Examples: People are needed to be poll workers for your county SOE center. You could take part in a community or charity walk for a cause that is important to you or a loved one. You can take in an at risk youth or be a mentor to a child in need. You can donate money to an organization you would like to support. Your time is an excellent investment as well, volunteering at a local food bank is another way to help. All we ask is that you have a willingness to get involved, get out and do something in your community to help today. THANK YOU! https://www.facebook.com/MakeChangeINC
Em prol de um mundo melhor, de uma nova consciência humana e da valorização da natureza como parte integrante dela. Juntos e unidos pela sensibilidade nos preocupamos em desenvolvermos ações significativas como aproveitamentos e confecção de brinquedos e similares para crianças pobres do nosso entorno.
I am one of the two founders of Mazingira Safi Initiative. Mazingira Safi is a swahili word meaning a clean environment. The initiative began in 2013 as a campaign to improve the lives of people living in Nairobi by mobilizing them to clean up their environment. The initiative is volunteer driven and largely relies on the participation of community members in the cleanup activities held at least once every month.
The initiative is gradually making positive steps towards awareness creation. It has conducted cleanups every month since its inception with the participation of not less than 30 volunteers from local communities. The volunteers' participation is appreciated. We have award ceremonies that recognize the efforts made by our volunteers.
With the initiative now structured into a non profit organization, we are providing opportunities for members to volunteer their skills and expertise towards meeting the goals of the organization. We intend to continue having a positive impact on the society and the environment. We want to see the mind set of people living in Kenya changed for the benefit of our own lives and that of the environment.
The stellar contribution of volunteers to social and environmental development, and natural disasters in particular, was celebrated at an event held at CYSD in Bhubaneswar to commemorate International Volunteer Day by UNDP/UNV, CYSD, RCDC and BAKUL FOUNDATION.
The International Volunteer Day is celebrated across the world every year to recognize the power and impact of volunteers in changing lives, and it was celebrated for the 6th year in succession in Bhubaneswar. The focus of the event this year was on Volunteering in Disaster Response in the context of the recent Phailin and floods. It was a charged event for the 450 odd young volunteers, who participated.
The event included motivational talks by Ambika Nanda of UNDP, Jagadananda and P K Sahoo of CYSD, Kailash Chandra Mishra of RCDC, Sujit Mahapatra of BAKUL, Madhusudan Das of NYP, Akash DasNayak (Actor), Ms Sneha Mishra of Aaina etc. Many of the speakers spoke about their experience of volunteering and volunteer mobilization at the time of disasters, particularly the Supercyclone. They thereby emphasized the role of volunteering in developing skills and leadership even as it contributed to social development. It was pointed out that volunteers from Odisha during the Supercylone of 1999 were disaster management experts nationally and internationally now.
Ambika Nanda said that if we averted human casualties during Phailin this year because of the massive evacuation, this would not have been possible without the contribution of local volunteers, who motivated, reassured and convinced villagers to abandon their houses and move to shelters. Mr Jagadananda spoke about the significant role volunteers play in comforting people traumatized by disasters, a role that the armed forces could not even if they could do relief and rescue operations. Sneha Mishra motivated the young girls to go and volunteer at the time of disasters although the circumstances are difficult for girls, and spoke of the need for female volunteers to understand and respond to the needs of the victims, particularly women. Akash Dasnayak asked the young volunteers present to dream big, and to believe in themselves and their abilities to bring about change.
The highlight of the event, however, was the felicitation of 10 volunteers, who have done exemplary service. 6 of these volunteers were felicitated for their work in the post- Phailin relief and restoration efforts. They included Hara Prasad Mohanty from Janla, who worked as a volunteer for 15 days in Ganjam post the cyclone in which he took up the task of cleaning and sanitation work in 12 villages in Chhatrapur and Ganjam Blocks and also helped with distribution of polythene. Sunanda Sahoo from Chhatia, not even 20 years of age, was also in Ganjam and was part of the Emergency team that responded to conflicts during distribution of relief. She helped in many ways including offloading relief from the trucks.
I am president and co-founder of Association Emel Tounes ( Hope Tunisia ), which launched in march 2012 the campaign Collecting Caps of Solidarity . Its slogan is "Let's pick up the caps, let's overcome Disability", which consists in providing recyclers with plastic caps that were collected by our citizens, in order to finance wheelchairs , to be distributed to people with disabilities who are also suffering poverty.
Emel Tounes Association has launched the action "Collecting Caps of Solidarity" in March 19th 2012 , and until March 16th 2013, which is the day in which the 4th Weighing action has been held, a total of 7200 KG of plastic caps was collected, thanks to which 11 manual wheelchairs were purchased.
On the other hand, this campaign has succeeded to raise awareness of the needs of the citizens with disabilities, as besides to the collected plastic caps, Emel Tounes Association received donations that allowed to provide over 40 wheelchairs to needy disabled persons, at their request.
Somos el grupo de voluntarios "Comunicadores y Educadores Ambientales para la Conservación", realizamos educación ambiental en la ciudad de La Paz. Tocamos todos los temas ambientales, pero princpalmente el tema de agua y cambio climático.
I got a chance to join the United Nations Humanitarian Response Depot recently as an volunteer in Dubai. An UN volunteering experience is something that really changes your perspective of human lives, something only an UN employee can relate to. Every day is has something new to offer with even more learning curves. The experience not only added a sense of pride but a whole new set of moral values and responsibilities into me. We all are a minute part of the human race but if we keep doing our little in bits, trust me, life feels so much more clearer in perspectives.

Four online volunteers joined forces with Global Civil Initiatives, Inc. (GCI), an NGO based in Kyrgyzstan, to develop a project proposal on low-carbon technologies for sustainable energy generation, poverty alleviation and climate change adaptability in the Issyk-Kul region.
The proposal aims at enabling the rural population in regions with no access to electricity to gain increased benefits from the use of sustainable, low carbon technology. The project also aims at facilitating livelihood generation and increase community engagement in sustainable energy solutions in the region.

Corn and Other Prices Rising, Wolf Pups in Western Oregon Excite Researchers
- World Bank's latest Food Price Watch shows international food prices rose between January and April of this year.
Spent all your money on one really great gift, but think you should also get a small gift so your loved one has something else to open? Think again. New research shows that a small gift could decrease the value of the more generous one in the eyes of the recipient.
People who sit most of the day have a 54 percent greater risk of heart attack than those who spend a good chunk of the day standing.
Researchers at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Louisiana came to this conclusion after analyzing the lifestyles of more than 17,000 men and women over 13 years.
The scientists found that even non-smokers who exercise regularly and would be considered in good shape double their risk for heart attack if their job requires them to sit most of the time.

Youth And Tear Gas Lyrics - Anti-Flag
And I was burnin' like a forest fire
Yeah, I was burning like gasoline, lit
When I heard the things you said
Drown out the things you did..Yeah!
than I thought of your neck,
thought of your beautiful blue eyes
While the police gas suffocated our lungs
burnt our insides,
and in that protest sign
it came to my mind
when we were young we never could have known that,
never could have known that
this world would be so cold
Set up; knock down our souls
Our innocense would be forever stole
