What's So Special About Humans?
Page 2
Indigenous Insights
Rights of nature laws can help communities seeking self-governance, but they are also much more than that. Environmental lawyer Cormac Cullinan believes that they can be a vessel for bringing the wisdom of indigenous people into the courts of modern nations.
After the compromises and failures of the U.N.'s climate change negotiations in Copenhagen in 2009, the Bolivian government of Evo Morales convened an alternative meeting in Cochabamba. Delegates at the World People's Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth spent three days debating and revising a draft and signed the final version of the People's Agreement on April 22, 2010.
Cullinan, who helped write the original text of the Agreement, explains that indigenous people tend to see human beings as a dependent part of a larger web of life and have cultural ways of making sure that people respect the ecosystem. Modern law, however, allows that web to be damaged because it recognizes only the rights of humans and treats nature as property.
The People's Agreement attempts to change that model by translating indigenous doctrines into a legal language that the international community will adopt. "It provides a mechanism for balancing human interests against the interests of earth," Cullinan says, "because if humans are the only ones with rights, the balance is tipped too far in the favor of the humans."
Cullinan hopes that activists for social justice, environmental protection, indigenous people, and animal rights will unite around the People's Agreement. "The one thing that we all have in common is the Earth," he says, "and what we need to do is play by the rules of the Earth."
Nonhuman Persons
One month after the World People's Conference took place in Bolivia, a group of scientists and philosophers gathered in Helsinki, Finland, to make a similar argument in a different context. The group included many of the world's foremost experts on the psychology and behavior of cetaceans, the order of animals that includes whales, dolphins, and porpoises. The convention ended with a Declaration of Rights for Cetaceans, 10 simple statements that recognize each individual animal's right to life, habitat, and freedom.
New research in cognitive science suggests that cetaceans are "nonhuman persons" who deserve rights similar to those enjoyed by humans, says Lori Marino, one of the drafters of the Declaration and a senior lecturer in neuroscience and biology at Emory University. She says this was part of the reason why the scientists chose to use the language of rights in their declaration, as opposed to the traditional language of conservation.
Dr. Marino suggests that when scientists and philosophers wrestle with the question of what it is about ourselves that makes us human beings with rights, they find that "it has to do with sentience, self-awareness, and autonomy." You don't have to be a Homo sapiens to have those traits. Whales and dolphins have been shown to possess them, along with a few other animals such as great apes and elephants.
"These are beings that are aware of themselves, think about their thoughts, and think about their lives," Marino says, and therefore, each one deserves rights. That approach is different from the one taken by traditional conservation biology, which aims to keep populations stable but doesn't consider the rights of individual animals.
New Rights in Balance
Advocates for the rights of cetaceans and apes share general principles and goals with the supporters of the Cochabamba Agreement, but differences do come up.
Cormac Cullinan:
What if Orangutans Had
Their Day in Court?
Environmentalists say nature should have legally recognized rights. But what does that really mean?
"Just protecting the ecosystem is not enough," Dr. Marino says, pointing to her group's support for cetaceans in captivity who are no longer part of any ecosystem.
Meanwhile, some advocates of rights for ecosystems take issue with the idea of nonhuman personhood for only those animals whose intelligence resembles our own.
"Are algae sentient or not?" Cormac Cullinan asks. "All of these things have a degree of sentience, but it's in a different form." He says he'd prefer to focus on the health of the whole system.
Yet each of these activists says that their differences are outweighed by the goals and interests they share. Margil says she welcomes the work of advocates like Dr. Marino because "it's all moving forward to an expansion of rights beyond the human."
If that expansion is widely adopted into law, it will demand difficult sacrifices from ordinary people as well as from corporations. But the first few victories for the rights of nature suggest that the idea can empower communities, put a check on the rights of corporations, and create a more ethical society.
With climate change and resource shortages looming, looking after the rights of nature offers a way to protect ecosystems and the animals that live in them—including humans.

Jan 28 - Investar Bank, Baton Rouge, La., has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the $107 million asset First Community Bank headquartered in Hammond, La., a transaction that would double Investars New Orleans-area franchise and further expand its franchise, which was founded in and increasingly serves the larger southeast Louisiana market.
It is anticipated that no jobs will be eliminated as part of the transaction, which is expected to close in the second quarter of 2013. The two privately held companies chose not to disclose terms of the agreement.
Investar opened its first New Orleans-area presence in late August 2012 with a temporary location in Metairie, then its permanent office at 500 Veterans Blvd. on Dec. 18, 2012, and its second office on Dec. 20, 2012, at 2929 Highway 190 in Mandeville. Following completion of the First Community transaction, Investar will have four branches in the states largest market, where it had no presence at all at the start of the 2012 holiday season. In total, Investar will have nine branches with the addition of First Community: Hammond (one), Mandeville (two), Denham Springs (one), Baton Rouge (two), Port Allen (one), Prairieville (one) and Metairie (one). Pending regulatory approval, a 10th location is expected to open this year, in Lafayette.
The First Community transaction requires approval from the FDIC, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Louisiana Office of Financial Institutions and shareholders of First Community Holding Company, the parent of First Community Bank. Until operational conversion, which would not take place until the second quarter of 2013, following all required approvals and completion of the transaction, First Community customers will see no changes in their banking services and should continue to use their checks, make loan payments, conduct online banking and take advantage of other First Community services as before.
The northshore of Lake Pontchartrain and all of New Orleans are important regions for Investar Bank, John DAngelo, president and CEO of Investar, said. Were excited to join with the outstanding team at First Community and look forward to growing together as Investar. With our exceptionally strong capital, which is always reassuring to customers but is even more so during todays economic challenges, we have the capacity to help small businesses grow and individuals and families prosper.
First Community has two locations, one each in Hammond and Mandeville. Cordell H. White, who is CEO of First Community, will serve as Investar Bank regional president for Livingston and Tangipahoa parishes after closing of the transaction. He has worked at First Community for 10 years and has a total of almost 39 years in banking, including 14 on the northshore and in Tangipahoa Parish.
White explained why the combination with Investar is in the best interest of customers, employees and the communities that the 12-year-old bank serves.
Through Investar, our customers will have far greater flexibility and convenience when they conduct their banking, he said, and serving customers will be an expanded team of some of the best bankers Ive ever met. They and Investar Bank can help make our communities even stronger by investing in and living where our customers are.
Leading the banks northshore market, which includes adjoining St. Tammany Parish and the Mandeville location of First Community as well as the rest of the New Orleans area, are career bankers Stephen E. Wessel as New Orleans regional president and Kevin J. Dobson as New Orleans chief lending officer.
Investar Bank, which had total assets of $375 million at Dec. 31, 2012, provides comprehensive products and services for businesses and individuals. The bank is considered well-capitalized for regulatory purposes, with a Tier 1 Capital Ratio of 11.55 percent.

New Birmingham History Galleries at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery
29th July 2009
Birmingham museum is in the process of developing a major new wing of galleries celebrating the history and significance of Birmingham and its people.
The galleries will show how the city of Birmingham is a reflection of the self-reliance, creativity, inventiveness and hard work of its people - rich and poor - over many generations. They will focus on the development of the city from mediaeval times to 1945, and convey Birmingham's past through the personal stories of key individuals.
Rotating displays will explore the character and identity of Birmingham and its people today, and their memories of Birmingham's more recent past. Birmingham people will be able to play a leading role in the development of the galleries, through a comprehensive programme of community events and consultations. An exciting schools programme accompanying the displays will provide access to a great new local history resource for all ages.
The project will see the conservation and display of over 2000 objects from Birmingham Museums and Art Gallerys' nationally significant collections, as well as the renovation of new and existing galleries in the Grade II* listed museum building. The resulting galleries will be interactive, multi-sensory, exciting and fun for all ages. BMAG recently submitted a Stage 2 Heritage Lottery Fund bid, and if successful the new galleries will open to the public in the autumn of 2012.

The 12th Planet: Book I of the Earth Chronicles (Paperback)
Sale Price: $7.99
Additional 10% off for History Club Members. Join Now
To Order by Phone Call 1-800-933-6249
The first book of the revolutionary Earth Chronicles series offers indisputable documentary evidence of the existence of the mysterious planet Nibiru and tells why its astronauts came to Earth eons ago to fashion mankind in their image.
The product of more than thirty years of meticulous research, The 12th Planet treats as fact, not myth, the tales of Creation, the Deluge, the Tower of Babel, and the Nefilim who married the daughters of man. By weaving together the biblical narrative with Sumerian and Babylonian clay-tablet texts, it challenges the established notions of the origins of Earth and mankind, and offers a compelling alternative history and prehistory of both.

Although, I've been around digi since right click was invented...I am curious about something. When I UL in the gallery there are options [most sites] to add an additional gallery. example-if: I am doing the 'template' challenge it is UL there. Should I, would you want or whatever the correct phrased question is...should I also UL to the designers gallery???
I am referring to designers I do not CT for. I like a ton of stuff.
I certainly do not wish to get in the way of CT's, just unsure and do not wish to post if incorrect. The same goes in FB. When I UL, I list the products used, well because. Not sure if my family or friends will check it out, but ... always interested in hooking newbies.
ps- I intend to ask several places. I want honest feedback.

In the mid 50's Rock & Roll emerged and started to overide what was known as popular music. Learning to dance to this type of music was a whole lot different than dancing the Foxtrot or Boxstep. (I always thought that dancing to Rock & Roll was just a jazzed up version of the old Lindy Hop). I also remember my girlfriend Judy struggling to teach me the new steps I had to learn but being self conscious and having two left feet I didn't do very well. I was always afraid I was embarrassing her when we danced with other groups. My younger brother Bob being a natural dancer picked the R & R steps right away but I struggled with it for a long time.I eventually overcame my stumbling feet and learned, but it sure took me a long time.
My girlfriends & I used to get together after school, turn on American Bandstand, & learn from Justine & Bob, Joanne, etc. It was easier for the girls to learn because we would dance w/each other & learn the steps--lindy, fox trot, mashed potatoes, the bop, etc. It was a no-no for the guys to dance together, so you needed a sister or a girlfriend to teach you. I liked the Stroll & the Twist. Ther were less complicated & I found them easier to learn.
Olivia, I always considered myself a well coordinated guy. I played in all kinds of sports, baseball, football, stick ball, handball and some basketball, but when it came to learning how to dance I just think I was too self conscious in trying to get my feet to do what my mind was telling them.A lot of my friends did well but there were a few others, who like me thought the whole world was watching for my mistake. I have long since overcome this self conscious trait I once had and to this day I enjoy dancing very much. I just wonder how many guys and gals on this board went through the same thing I did when first learning how to dance.

we lived to dance .when we went out we danced til we went home.I remember my friend teaching me the Lindy and the Savoy ,which was done in Rociaway -The Heights girls did it . sort of like a fast hustle .we did all he dances ,cha-cha,mambo,merinque...wish i could still do them .for more than 2 minutes lol
Kay, I bet you could still "cut a mean rug"!
michael, I agreed with you back then. UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL was the way to go. LOL
we called t the grind ,my mother called it dancing on a dime .well lets put it this way went to a dance on Saturday and danced all notght and slept all day Sunday .thank You Pomonoker its what i always wanted to be ...
My friends and I would go to the Polish hops on LI. To this day I can't dance the polka when I'm sober.
Jimbo--when we were just married, my ex & I used to go to the Lorelei to drink beer & do the polka. It was a German dance hall/brauhaus in the E. 80's. You're right. The beer made for much more graceful polkas.
Your right Olivia, kinda like floating on air. LOL
Olivia, Funny,after about four Lowenbraus,I was dancing the polka without any lessons. LOL That was a great place back then. ALWAYS had fun there.
Dancing-Don't ask me!Back in the day Lorelei was always jumping when I passed it. Great place to pick up Irish Bridie's!

Gildea's was another place that was a hopping joint. Band on weekends with plenty of girls & guys. I'd stay just long enough to avoid the brawls that took place later on. Old man Gildea was a mountain of a man and his bouncer sons were bigger than he was. I always tried to avoid trouble if I can. I had a friend of mine lose an eye in a brawl because he danced with a girl who was with someone else. He was hit in the head with a beer bottle and I had to take him to the hospital. Bad memory on that one.
Gildea's, sounds familiar. Where was it?
Pomonoker, Gildea's was in Sunnyside not to far from Queens Blvd. It was where Woodside and Sunnyside meet. There was also a Gildea's in Irishtown section of the Rockaway's, same owner.
Don't think I ever went there, but must have heard of it. Did go to a club (Disco?), that was called the Honka Monka, that was in that area, on Queens Blvd. Not sure if it was in Sunnyside or Jackson Heights. Great place to dance and listen to some good Rock music, and, of course, meet some ladies!
Pomonoker, If you were ever to Gildea's you would never forget as it was a pretty wild place.
'65-'66 Remember frequenting Gildea's on the weekend with one of my Manhattan buddies.I just found out recently he was killed in Nam a few years later.We use to arrive early and leave before it got crazy. Can still remember their wine spitzers served in small glasses.
I was taught by my "big" sister how to Lindy (or was it the Savoy - to this day I don't know the difference). The slow dances required no instruction. You just held her and moved slowly with the music - it was more or less instinctive. "The Fish" was a grind sort of dance that was big then. About 1955.50 years later, at my niece's wedding, she said, "Unc, you're the best dancer here. We don't have these kinds of dances anymore". We were doing a Lindy. Amazing how the girls always knew exactly what to do responding to the boy's lead doing the Lindy.

Regge your right, the girls always seemed to pick up the steps of the latest dance craze and then try to teach it to the boys. Girls have a natural rhythm when it comes to dancing. I did my best to learn the new dance steps and not step on some poor girls feet with my size 12's.

Guest Post: Don Marti - SCALE Poker!Submitted by Ilan Rabinovitch on Sat, 2013-02-02 12:23
Guest Post: Don Marti
Down with "grinding" in games! My least favorite activity in a game is mindlessly clicking and collecting. You won't catch me playing Cow Clicker or any of its imitators. I'd prefer a challenge.
Off the Internet, my least favorite grinding games are the ones where you have to go around to the booths at a trade show to collect stamps. Where's the play value in that?

Excellent Line and Load Regulation Characteristics
Free-Air Convention Cooling: No external Heat Sink Required
|Analog Devices' line of AC/DC supplies offer system designers a means of supplying a reliable, easy to use, low cost solution to powering the 3B Series Signal Conditioning subsystem. These models provide high accuracy, short circuit protection, regulated outputs with very low noise and ripple characteristics. All supplies can be mounted directly on the 3B Series backplanes, Models 3B01, 3B02 and 3B03, using supplied mounting clip and hardware.
Order Now Model AC1301
Options for Powering a Backplane
Several backplane powering options are available to a user. The 3B Series Subsystem can operate from an AC/DC power supply or a DC/DC converter, mounted directly on the backplane, or external ±15 V DC and +24 V DC supplies can be used. The power supply voltages are bussed to all signal conditioners on the backplane. The +24 V DC voltage is supplied as loop power for all module current outputs. Supply current is a function of the modules that are actually used - see table below.
3B Series Module Current Requirements
1 Model 3B17 module typically needs 40 mA ±5 mA for the LVDT/RVDT drive current. The supply current for the LVDT/RVDT current is 75% of the LVDT/RVDT rms current.
If both +24 V DC and ±15 V DC are supplied from an external source, the power supply requirements must be satisfied for the desired number of modules.
If the user wishes to use a +15 V supply for the module current outputs - loop power - in place of +24 V DC, the +15 V DC from the AC/DC supply can be strapped to the loop power on connector P3. With this arrangement, the load resistance on all module current outputs is limited to 400 Ω> maximum; with +24 V DC supply voltage, the load resistance is increased to 850Ω maximum.
Selecting a Power Supply
The following supplies, available from Analog Devices, operate over a -25°C to +70°C temperature range. Refer to the power supply specification table for more detailed information on each supply.
Model AC1301 is an AC/DC dual output, ±15 V DC power supply providing ±350 mA; it is mounted on the backplane with supplied mounting clip and hardware.
Model AC1307 is an AC/DC triple output, +15 V DC, -15 V DC and +24 V DC power supply providing +800 mA, -225 mA and +350 mA respectively. Model AC1307 is mounted on the backplane using supplied hardware.

GIVING PAUSE: At the G-20 on Friday, from left, Germany's Angela Merkel, Russia's Vladimir Putin, President Obama, the U.K.'s David Cameron and France's François Hollande. Getty Images (2), Agence France-Presse/Getty Images, European Pressphoto Agency, Reuters
ST. PETERSBURG, Russia—President Barack Obama fell short in his bid to rally international support for a U.S. military strike on Syria, failing to overcome divisions at a summit of world leaders before flying home to face skeptics in Congress and the American public.
In a news conference at the G-20 summit in St. Petersburg, Russia, President Barack Obama said that failure to respond to a chemical weapons attack in Syria would send the wrong signal to rogue nations and terrorist organizations. Obama is expected to discuss Syria on Tuesday. Photo: AP.
Mr. Obama spent two days coaxing leaders of the Group of 20 nations, pulling presidents and prime ministers aside for private conversations and making his case in a four-hour dinner at a historic palace here.
The lobbying blitz calling for a "strong international response" to Syria's alleged use of chemical weapons against rebels showed little sign of changing the minds of world leaders—some of whom took that phrase to mean "military action."
Mr. Obama's push also gained little ground in building a coalition to politically isolate Russian President Vladimir Putin, the summit host and one of the Syrian regime's chief allies and protectors.

The White House on Friday released a list of 11 nations including the U.S. that signed the statement, which expressed support for "efforts undertaken by the U.S. and other countries to reinforce the prohibition on the use of chemical weapons."
But Mr. Putin put out a list of his own. At a news conference on Friday, he rattled off the names of eight G-20 nations, including his own, that he said oppose international military action in Syria. Ten nations altogether declined to sign the U.S. statement.
Not all of those that did sign endorsed Mr. Obama's call for a military strike against Syria. While Italy signed, Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta said he had told Mr. Obama that his country wouldn't join any military action in Syria.

- EU Labors for Common Syria Stance
- France to Wait for U.N. Report on Syria
- Obama Meets With Russian Rights Activists
Spain, which signed, isn't a full member of the G-20, but rather, a permanent guest—putting the vote tally among members of the group of the world's largest economies at 10-10.
Germany didn't sign—after Chancellor Angela Merkel decided to try to reach a united European position first. Secretary of State John Kerry will present the U.S. case to a meeting of EU foreign ministers over the weekend in Lithuania.
The one leader who had appeared ready to support prompt military action last month, French President François Hollande, said on Friday that he would now wait until the United Nations releases its findings about the Aug. 21 attack outside Damascus that spurred U.S. calls for an international response.
Mr. Hollande also repeated that his decision would hinge on the outcome of a vote in the U.S. Congress.
Mr. Obama was to return to the U.S. on Friday night to face the challenge of rounding up lawmakers to authorize an armed attack against the Syrian government of President Bashar al-Assad.
With Congress set to return from a recess on Monday to take up resolutions to authorize military action, it is unclear whether Mr. Obama can muster the votes needed to pass a resolution. He has won the support of a longtime foe, House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio), who has been urging the president to make a strong public case for military intervention.
On Tuesday, the president will deliver a televised address on Syria from the White House.
Asking a war-weary nation to support a military strike isn't easy, Mr. Obama conceded in St. Petersburg, a point that public opinion polls bear out.
"I tend to have a pretty good sense of what current popular opinion is," Mr. Obama said at the end of the summit. "And for the American people, who have been through over a decade of war now with enormous sacrifice in blood and treasure, any hint of further military entanglements in the Middle East are going to be viewed with suspicion."
Ten countries joined the U.S. in calling for a "strong international response" to a chemical-weapons attack in Syria, but half of the G-20 spurned President Obama's push for support. Colleen McCain Nelson reports on the News Hub.
He added that suspicions probably are stronger in his own party than among Republicans. But he pressed his argument that the world needs to send a message that chemical attacks can't be ignored, casting it in moral terms.
"You know, over 1,400 people were gassed. Over 400 of them were children," he said.
In a preview of the president's argument, Samantha Power, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said in a speech at a Democratic-leaning think tank in Washington Friday that alternatives in Syria had been exhausted and no risk-free option remains.
"The alternative is to give a green light to outrages that will threaten our security and haunt our conscience—outrages that will eventually compel us to use force anyway down the line at far greater risk and cost to our own citizens," she said at the Center for American Progress.
The G-20: It's a Blast
World leaders gathered this week for two days of meetings of the Group of 20 in St. Petersburg, Russia. By the looks of it, they'd be happy if the summit were shorter.
Britain AFP/Getty Images
In St. Petersburg, Mr. Obama made a broader case, saying that not punishing the Assad regime would send "a signal to rogue nations, authoritarian regimes and terrorist organizations that they can develop and use weapons of mass destruction and not pay a consequence. And that's not the world that we want to live in."
Fissures over Syria were evident throughout the summit, leading to biting exchanges of rhetoric. Messrs. Putin and Obama hardly spoke on Thursday, then met privately for about 20 minutes on Friday, talking primarily about the Syrian civil war.
Afterward, Mr. Putin told reporters: "I don't agree with his arguments and he doesn't agree with mine."
Mr. Putin said he would continue supplying weapons and humanitarian aid to the Syrian government in the event of a U.S. strike. He dismissed U.S. conclusions that Syrian government forces used chemical weapons, saying the gas attack was a rebel provocation.
"Will we continue to help Syria? We will," Mr. Putin said. "We're helping them now. We are supplying arms, cooperating in the economic sphere."

The U.S. has all but given up on the notion that Russia might come around and support Mr. Obama's stance, said Ben Rhodes, a top national security adviser to Mr. Obama.
Russia, he said, has "continually supported Assad no matter what the facts show and no matter what the regime does."
U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron, whose support for military action was neutralized by a vote in the British Parliament, also sounded impatient with Mr. Putin. He described himself as frustrated and called Russia an enduring obstacle in the United Nations Security Council.
"Some of the participants were saying this has to be decided by the U.N. Security Council, knowing that they themselves sat on the U.N. Security Council and could veto any decision."
One world leader who tried to bridge differences between Messrs. Obama and Putin was Ms. Merkel.
She spoke one-on-one with each of them over the course of the summit and said that, despite the tense rhetoric, both were open to a political solution—even if the U.S. were to mount a military strike.
"I felt, in my bilateral talks with the Russian president as well as with the American president, that in any case the doors aren't closed" to finding a diplomatic solution, Ms. Merkel told reporters.

Wildlife Value
The fruit of the Hackberry is popular with winter birds, especially the cedar waxwing, mockingbird, and robin.
In earlier years, its tough, flexible wood was used for barrel hoops and many a pioneer cabin was equipped with durable Hackberry wood flooring. The tree was first cultivated in 1636.
Has some tolerance for both flooding and drought.
Shaped like spearheads, approximately 2 to 4 inches long and 1-1/2 to 2 inches wide, arranged alternately along the twigs. Small teeth edge at least the upper half of the leaf.
Flower Color

Bloom Time
Fruit Description
The Hackberry produces a small, dark-red berries that turn purple as they mature. The berry is less than 1/2 inch in diameter and is borne on slender stems about 1/2 to 3/4 inches long. Inside is a pit, that when scraped clean, reveals an interesting net-like pattern. The fruit is attractive to wildlife.
Rate of growth refers to the vertical increase in growth unless specified differently. Rate, as is true for size, is influenced by numerous variables such as soil, drainage, water, fertility, light, exposure, ad infinitum. The designation slow means the plant grows 12" or less per year; medium refers to 13 to 24" of growth per year; and fast to 25" or greater.Manual of Woody Landscape Plants, by Michael Dirr.

Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.
