For decades, coastal planning efforts in Louisiana have focused on addressing either risk reduction or coastal restoration, or on specific projects at distinct locations along our coast, with little overlap or integration across the entire coastal landscape. It was not until the devastating hurricanes of 2005 that planning efforts began to integrate coastal protection with coastal restoration. The first coordinated effort to emphasize a comprehensive approach to storm risk reduction and coastal restoration came in 2007, with publication of Louisiana's first Comprehensive Master Plan for a Sustainable Coast. The Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA), the state entity responsible for developing the plan, is also required to update it every 5 years. For their updated 2012 Coastal Master Plan, CPRA focused on expanding their technical analysis and outreach and engagement efforts to identify specific projects that best represent sound, efficient investments for coastal Louisiana, considering resource and funding constraints, as well as numerous future environmental and risk reduction uncertainties.
"There is a renewed sense of hope for the coastal future of Louisiana, a hope rooted in science and a realistic appraisal of what can be accomplished in the short and long terms to halt—and begin to reverse—more than 80 years of coastal degradation that is affecting our lives, culture, infrastructure, ecology, and economy. That hope is quantified and outlined in Louisiana's Comprehensive Master Plan for a Sustainable Coast, our 2012 update of the projects, programs, and concepts we will implement to address the serious issues confronting us."
These are the opening words that Garret Graves, Chair of the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) Board, uses to introduce Special Issue #67 of the Journal of Coastal Research (JCR), "Louisiana's 2012 Coastal Master Plan Technical Analysis," which highlights the work of Louisiana's 2012 Coastal Master Plan modeling and Planning Tool teams.
In response to the hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the Louisiana Legislature passed Act 8 of the First Extraordinary Session of 2005, which formed CPRA. CPRA is tasked with developing a comprehensive protection and restoration master plan for coastal Louisiana, and producing updates to the plan every five years. In 2007, CPRA produced Louisiana's first Comprehensive Master Plan for a Sustainable Coast, commonly referred to as Louisiana's Coastal Master Plan. In a ground-breaking effort that integrated coastal protection and restoration, CPRA delivered an award-winning report that established goals and objectives, and synthesized decades of coastal thinking about projects and solutions. The 2007 Coastal Master Plan laid the framework and became the starting point for the 2012 Coastal Master Plan effort.
Although their accents, landscapes, and reliance on the Mississippi River are quite different, farmers and ranchers from South Dakota and fishermen from south Louisiana met recently to see how connected they really are. As part of the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership's Barnyard to Boatyard Conservation Exchange, three South Dakota farm and ranch couples came to south Louisiana in July for an educational outing where they learned about the trials and triumphs of managing businesses reliant on healthy Mississippi River Delta and Gulf of Mexico ecosystems in Louisiana.
The couples visited the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON) in Cocodrie and were provided an overview of economic topics including the Louisiana fishing guide industry, shrimp fishing, oyster operations, Gulf-based energy, and the ocean freight and shipping businesses. The ranchers and farmers also got a crash course on current Louisiana conservation topics like hypoxia or the "Dead Zone," diversions and marsh building, salt water intrusion, economic and development impacts on the coast, and municipal water concerns. Providing true Louisiana hospitality, the ranchers and farmers were also treated to fishing trip along coastal Louisiana's Cajun bayous.
Then in early August, three south Louisiana couples whose livelihoods depend on our state's commercial fishing, tourism, and recreational fishing industries traveled to Sioux Falls to participate in an intensive briefing on the innovations and realities of grain and livestock farming and ranching in South Dakota. The focus of their trip was on South Dakota's grain and livestock production, and the fishermen were briefed on production topics such as best practices for row-crop production, state and Federal conservation programs, drain tiling, nutrient management, Federal crop insurance incentives, municipal water issues, and current economic impacts. The trip was capped off by a trip to the Sioux Empire Fair.
As those in Louisiana and across the nation marked the 8th Anniversary of Hurricane Katrina's landfall along the northern Gulf of Mexico coast on August 29, 2013, southeast Louisiana's elected officials and community leaders gathered in New Orleans to reflect on how far they've come and where they can improve.
Overwhelmingly, the elected officials, community activists, and religious leaders spoke of the region's resilience. But more importantly, they urged expedient local and federal action on rebuilding the state's fragile coastline and addressing the impacts of climate change. "We have a moral obligation to future generations to ensure that tragedies like Hurricane Katrina do not happen again,'' said Norma Jane Sabiston of the Climate Action Committee Louisiana.
However, Louisiana's disappearing coastline and climate change make our state more vulnerable to future storms. Louisiana's coastal wetlands provide natural protective barriers against hurricanes, but they are rapidly shrinking. Since the 1930s, Louisiana has lost nearly 1,900 square miles of coastal wetlands, an area in size roughly equivalent to the state of Delaware. If nothing more than what has already been done is undertaken, Louisiana has the potential to lose up to an additional 1,750 square miles of wetlands by 2050. This is land that Louisiana, and our rest of the US, cannot afford to lose—land that not only provides a storm buffer for communities, but that also provides important habitat for our state's fish and wildlife, transportation routes for major industries, and the majority of our domestic energy infrastructure.
Welcome to Coastal Connections, the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana's (CRCL's) new blog! Since 1988, CRCL has united various stakeholders under the common mission of protecting and restoring a sustainable coastal Louisiana. CRCL has always been, and will continue to be, a champion for using sound science to create wide-ranging policies for our coast. We exist for the sole purpose of finding realistic solutions to complex coastal problems and providing solutions that address the numerous concerns of coastal citizens and businesses.
We are currently in the process of revamping our website to include much more information for coastal stakeholders and communities, particularly concerning the most current topics in coastal protection and restoration. We are also updating the website to connect you with scientific and policy information that is easily accessible and easy to understand.
Coastal Connections aims to connect those who live, work, and play in coastal Louisiana to the latest scientific, technical, and policy information about their Sportsman's Paradise. We also want to provide valuable connections between science and day to day life in coastal Louisiana.

Oysters are one of Louisiana's most popular coastal foods, and are consumed in every way possible: raw, fried, in Po-boys, in Thanksgiving stuffing… the sky is the limit for these culinary jewels of the coast. But what about the shells left behind? CRCL is undertaking an effort to return oyster shells back into the natural habitat, where they can serve as a foundation for reef creation and future oyster growth.

On the third anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon incident, a diverse group of researchers gathered at Louisiana State University for a conference to discuss "Louisiana Research Perspectives on the Deepwater Horizon 2010 Spill: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly." Presenters included ecologists, geologists, physicists, sociologists, public health experts, economists, and fishermen, among others, who discussed research generated from the oil spill to date, with a strong focus on what has been learned and what new research questions the current knowledge has generated.
At the start of the conference, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) scientists, Dr. Chris Reddy and Dr. John Teal, addressed attendees as the conference's keynote speakers. Dr. Chris Reddy is a senior scientist in the WHOI's Department of Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry. Since April 2010, he has devoted much of his research efforts to studying the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. He has studied numerous other oil spills around the world. Dr. John Teal, a well-known coastal wetland ecologist is Scientist Emeritus at WHOI. In addition to his numerous years of coastal marsh research, Dr. Teal has investigated the effects of hydrostatic pressure on deepsea animals, the physiology of large, warm-blooded fishes, bird migration over oceans, wastewater treatment, and oil pollution.

CRCL and Brown University welcomed 19 high school students from across the country to Louisiana in March, conducting the first successful pilot run of a week-long curriculum for students focused on Louisiana coastal restoration. These gifted high school students spent their spring break immersed in Mississippi River Delta culture, examining the causes of and solutions to our coastal crisis, and focusing on large-scale restoration. The pilot program teams Brown University's Environmental Leadership Lab (BELL) with CRCL's Louisiana knowledge and expertise, creating a unique educational experience that leaves an impression on future leaders headed to college.
During the week-long course, students heard from leading experts in the region on subsidence, delta formation, flood protection and the state master plan. They went on boat tours given by long-time residents and coastal land managers. They spoke with community organizers about issues facing communities like New Orleans East, the Lower Ninth Ward and Grand Bayou, and the importance of coastal restoration to the culture and economy of each. They toured Port Fourchon, learning about the amount of oil and gas going through Louisiana's ports. At the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON), in Cocodrie, students did basic science involving plankton and blue crab sampling, as well as some good old fashioned kayaking in salt marsh. Not unimportantly, students were able to sample some south Louisiana favorites, including po-boys and red beans and rice.

This does not seem like a Lombardi move AT ALL – The guy proved to be a playoff WARRIOR and trading part of the core makes absolutely no sense.
He's affordable at 3.6 for the next two seasons.
The Kings might be "listening" but unless it includes the phrase TOP 6 PICK I highly doubt Lombardi makes this deal
Been hearing his name tossed around a lot. Makes sense given his affordable salary, but I love his defense and he's the only King able to actually win a faceoff.
Personally, I think the only King that is dealt tomorrow is A-Mart. The Kings need to re-stock Manchester since they'll likely lose Cliche and Vey and Toffoli and possibly another d-man will be competing for ice time at Staples.
11 hours and counting.
Trade williams? I would rather not. Quality wingers are hard to come by. Stoll? Let's do it. Kings are stacked with centers. Packaging Stoll and Williams for a top draft choice? Only if its top 4. Wow matt Barry, you spoiled us with two new blogs tonight. Looking forward to the draft, hope Deano won't dissapoint us.
Window for the cup is now. Not trading core players for high draft Choices. NOT
Williams was probably the best kings player all year. Why trade him he has the heart of a lion and he's not a big cap hit.
Trade slopitar!
Come on DL, trade Richards. You can ship him out fod a goal scoring winger. He's slow and causes too many turnovers while trying to make passes thru traffic. He's about 2 concussiins away from being toast! Carter shoukd be playing Center.He's bigger, Faster, wjns faceoffs, bacm checks harder, plays D, and doesnt think twice to shoot. Cut the chord on Richards…. brown-kopitar-toffoli. ???-Carter-Wklliams. Frattin-stoll-lewis. Cliff-fraser-???. That 2nd ljne LW coukd be Holloway or a player that we'd gain in a richards trade. K woukd be stoked on it. Teams lkke Toronto, Calgary, Tampa Bay, Dallas and many more soukd go crazy for Richards.
@JohnPaulSly…There is no chance at all that DL trades Richards. Richards is DL's love chid and now that he has him there is no way he's gonna loose him.
I would like to see DL trade King and get what he could for him…maybe a late 2nd or early 3rd pick….or a bag of pucks. If resigning Scuds is not a possibility then trade his rights to the highest bidder. Same with Penner.
We are going into this season with a few rookies on the squad (depending on draft day trades). That being said, i think we'll have a good mix of veteran players and rookies. Team speed will increase and hopefully our key players get their scoring touch back. I see another deep run into the playoffs barring any serious injuries.

After Megan Foxx teased with her pink panties she was ready to get her tight pussy fucked and face covered with cum. She got to her knees and pulled out the hard cock in front of her, she couldn't wait to get her soft lips wrapped around his thick shaft. Her mouth filled up as his cock slowly slid in, she loved the taste of his precum dripping down the back of her throat. As she felt her pussy get nice and wet, Megan knew it was time to climb on top of the hard dick and take it for a ride. She jumped on his prick until he couldn't hold back the cum explosion any longer, Megan Foxx turned around and took a sticky blast of jizz all over her sweet face.

Student loans pros and cons | 05.26.09
Mary on Twitter asked:
Working on post about pros and cons of getting student loans. Your thoughts? Any links? Thanks!
Here's a brief list.
Student loan pros
- Student loans allow you to afford colleges that you couldn't pay cash out of pocket to attend
- Student loans, especially Stafford and PLUS federal loans, have fixed interest rates that, while not always the lowest, are predictable and easy to budget for
- The Stafford loan requires no creditworthiness, only eligibility based on the FAFSA, making it ideal for tough economic times
- PLUS loans and private student loans require creditworthiness but no demonstration of need, making them suitable for families that are too well off to qualify for need based aid but not well off enough to simply cut a check to the college
- Student loans, especially federal student loans, have a variety of flexible repayment options, including payments that scale with your income, along with deferment, forbearance, and consolidation
Student loan cons
- Student loans are largely non-dischargeable, even in bankruptcy, which means you're stuck with them forever
- Student loans, especially federal student loans, can be collected via wage garnishment and a variety of other mechanisms that other loans can't be, such as seizure of income tax refunds
- Student loans may not be the lowest cost of borrowing if you're able to obtain good terms on other consumer loans like home equity loans
- Student loans can be far too easy to overborrow, especially for students who don't have strong personal finance skills, graduating with massive amounts of debt in a few short years
- Student loans are convenient, which means that students may not pursue lower cost options for college such as aggressive scholarship searching or lower cost colleges
Ultimately, whether or not you borrow a student loan is a function of time. If you plan far ahead, if your parents plan far ahead, the chances are good you can attend college for very little money borrowed or no money borrowed. Students who have used our free college scholarship search eBook, Scholarship Search Secrets, have brought in tens of thousands of dollars each in scholarships, greatly reducing the cost of college. On the other hand, students who need funding as soon as possible find some success with our private student loans, at the cost of incurring debt that they'll need to repay over the years ahead.

If you look on the Library page you will find a map of the diversions to the core path network in the Inverfarigaig area due to work on the power lines presently taking place.
Please see below -email regarding parking at Loch Tarff. 2/07/14
Please be aware that the parking area at the north end of Loch Tarff needs to be closed to vehicles for 3-4 weeks for road safety reasons.
Construction works have commenced in this area and the parking of vehicles here will give rise to conflicts with construction plant and personnel. This creates a safety hazard for the public and the workforce and compromises the traffic management of the works.
While I appreciate this may be disruptive, safety of the public and the workforce is paramount.

Derivation of Autism Spectrum Disorder-specific Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells from Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells
Neuroscience Letters
Date Published:
May 10, 2012
"Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) hold tremendous potential both as a biological tool to uncover the pathophysiology of disease by creating relevant cell models and as a source of stem cells for cell-based therapeutic applications. Typically, iPSCs have been derived by the transgenic overexpression of transcription factors associated with progenitor cell or stem cell function in fibroblasts derived from skin biopsies. However, the need for skin punch biopsies to derive fibroblasts for reprogramming can present a barrier to study participation among certain populations of individuals, including children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). In addition, the acquisition of skin punch biopsies in non-clinic settings presents a challenge. One potential mechanism to avoid these limitations would be the use of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) as the source of the cells for reprogramming. In this article we describe, for the first time, the derivation of iPSC lines from PBMCs isolated from the whole blood of autistic children, and their subsequent differentiation in GABAergic neurons."

Man convicted in one-day robbery crime spree
Updated On: Mar 20 2013 04:51:00 PM EDT
A 44-year-old Jacksonville man was convicted this week for taking part in a one-day crime spree.
In August 2011, Franklin Hodge robbed three Jacksonville gas stations within an eight-hour period. A jury convicted Hodge on two counts of robbery and one count of armed robbery.
Hodge committed each robbery differently to try to throw off authorities. In the first robbery, Hodge bought a beer and then pulled a knife on the store clerk at the Kangaroo gas station on Beaver Street. He took money from the store and fled in a maroon Camaro.
About five hours later, Hodge threatened a store clerk at the Shell gas station on Ramona Boulevard and made off with $60 in cash. He fled the area in a maroon Camaro.
Two hours later, Hodge bought a beer at the Speedway on U.S. Highway 90 in Baldwin. As the clerk was opening up the cash register, Hodge reached over the counter and grabbed $200 in cash. Again, he fled in a maroon Camaro.
Within minutes of the third robbery, Jacksonville police tracked down Hodge based on the car description.
Hodge is considered a violent career criminal, a prison release re-offender, a habitual violent felony offender and a habitual felony offender. He has felony convictions dating back to 1997 for aggravated battery, robbery and armed robbery.
Hodge faces mandatory life in prison. He will be sentenced the week of April 22.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. ( TheStreet) - Who is giving US Airways (LCC) CEO Doug Parker his best advice when it comes to merger implementation?
Asked Monday at an investor conference what he needs to be careful about as he oversees the merger of US Airways with American (AAMRQ.PK), Parker cited advice from Delta (DAL) CEO Richard Anderson.
Anderson's words, Parker said, were "Adopt and Go," which summarizes the importance of "taking the larger airline's systems and processes and overlaying those on the smaller airline." Parker recalled a mistake following the 2005 US Airways/America West merger, when "we had largely the America West management team, and we had some systems better than US Airways and we put those in place." Most notably, the merged carrier chose America West's Shares reservations system over US Airways' Sabre system.
Despite intensive employee training, Parker said, it is difficult to overcome the impact of practices that have been "part of the infrastructure for over 20 years." As a result, putting Shares into place meant that "processing time slowed down dramatically." This time, he said, "we will do our best to avoid that. Unless there is a compelling reason to go with the smaller system, we will go with 'adopt and go'."Both Delta President Ed Bastian and United (UAL)CEO Jeff Smisek, speaking at the same investor conference where Parker spoke, expressed support for the merger. "We believe that mergers in this industry generally are a good thing if done well," Bastian said. "For us, it's going to be a positive. It's just another form of continuing to maintain discipline in a business that will continue to be as competitive as ever." Smisek, meanwhile, said "there've been too many business plans chasing too few customers and that's been unhealthy for everybody (so) industry consolidation has been good. "We don't worry about losing the title of 'world's largest airline' because we never really cared about that title," he said. "We want to be the world's leading airline." Parker acknowledged that the new American will not have as many routes to Asia as either Delta or United. He noted that both benefitted from treaty agreements, following World War II, giving predecessor airlines rights to establish hubs in Tokyo. It is wrong "to suggest that we grow a standalone Asia network to be like United and Delta have," Parker said. "You can't go back and reverse history."

This post is a follow-up from my post yesterday titled "No Such Thing as an End-to-End FCoE Solution".
After publishing that post, I managed to get in touch with some very smart people who were willing to spend some time with me and educate me on the various intricacies involved here. In order to help you, my readers, understand the various pieces and parts, I'll need to first provide some definitions.
Fibre Channel Forwarder (FCF): In its simplest form, this is another form for an FCoE switch. A Nexus 5000 would be an example of an FCF.
Multi-hop FCoE: There are a couple of different definitions here. One definition would be having multiple FCFs connected together (i.e., a Nexus 5000 connected to another Nexus 5000). A second definition would be having multiple Layer 2 hops between an FCoE initiator or target and an FCF. Note that the switches handling those hops must be IEEE DCB capable.
FCoE Initialization Protocol: FIP, as its more commonly known, was included in the FC-BB-5 FCoE standard that was finalized in early June.
OK, now that I have some definitions in place, I can discuss how it might be possible (eventually) to build an end-to-end FCoE solution.
Disclaimer: I don't claim to be an FCoE expert, I'm just trying to understand it better myself and help others understand it better. If I'm misrepresenting something, let me know—courteously and professionally—in the comments, or drop me an e-mail.
The question "Can I build an end-to-end FCoE solution?" has multiple answers:
- If you have only a single FCF and everything is plugged into that FCF, then you can build a pure FCoE solution today. The Nexus 5000 can function as the FCF, and both the CNAs and targets that are available will work. Obviously, this is not a very scalable solution.
- If you have multiple FCFs, or if you have multiple Layer 2 hops between initiators or targets and the FCFs, then you might or might not be able to build an end-to-end FCoE solution. In this scenario, FIP-enabled initiators and targets would be able to find and communicate with each other, but non-FIP-enabled initiators and targets would not (unless they were plugged into the same FCF). At this point I am unclear about connectivity between pre-FIP initiators or targets on the same IEEE DCB-capable Layer 2 switch (not an FCF); I suspect they would not be able to communicate.
All of these statements are applicable until you bring UCS into the mix. For UCS, my earlier statement stands: with UCS, you cannot have an end-to-end FCoE solution today. That will change at some point in the future, but no one has shared any information with me regarding just how far in the future that might be.
If you have a pure Nexus 5000 environment, with FCoE-capable storage and servers with CNAs, you'd probably be able to make it work. With FIP support in that environment, you'd definitely be able to make it work. When you add UCS, though, it becomes very different. I hope to be able to discuss that in greater detail in the near future.
So, my earlier statement wasn't entirely true; it is possible to build an end-to-end FCoE solution. Today, that solution would be very limited in size; once FIP support is baked into the initiators, the targets, and the FCFs, then the solution size will be able to scale.
As always, comments and clarifications are welcome!
Tags: Cisco, FCoE, FibreChannel, Hardware, Networking, Storage

I was wondering what FIP was used for, as you text implies the possibility of existence of devices without it that can communicate, and found that there is a Wikipedia-page explaining some definition.
You might want to include a link to it in your pages regarding FCoE.
Regarding FIP, I'm still not sure what the purpose is (beside the obvious) and which protocol it replaces.
Excellent summary! You may not claim to be an FCoE expert but you are becoming one quickly.
As for your statement: "…pre-FIP initiators or targets on the same IEEE DCB-capable Layer 2 switch (not an FCF); I suspect they would not be able to communicate."
You are correct!
Unless, if the pre-FIP initiators and targets are connected to a "Fabric Extender", then things start to get interesting
Thanks again for keeping us all informed, very useful and educational indeed.
With regards to UCS end-to-end (scalable) support for FCoE, I would assume that all that would required at a future date is updating firmware and such of all interconnecting devices? Though that might be a big assumption…
Serge M
Great blog. Thanks for all the info.
What's your take on the current state of the standards at play here, FC-BB-5 and IEEE's DCB (or CEE). DCB hasn't been finalized. Should that concern anyone considering adopting this technology? Is the fact that FC-BB-5 is in draft format and is not ANSI standard at this point just a formality? Thanks.
Wow this post is over a year old and still no End-to-End connectivity from the UCS B-Series to storage. Cisco's marketing hype on converged networks is confusing.
Is it possible to have a FCOE end to end solution based on mixing FCF like Nexus 5000 and Cisco MDS ( like FCOE ports from 5000 and FCOE ports from MDS interconnected to each other)?
Please explain!!

1972 Plymouth Duster
This car had spent its whole life in Ohio, until we brought it up to
Michigan. It was stored in a barn for quite some time before being restored
in the early 1990's.
We purchased the car from a man who bought it in Sandusky, Ohio, two years
ago. The previous owner spruced up the car, and had it featured in Summit
Magazine, before selling it to us.

NEW YORK—The Philippines has lent its voice to the growing clamor for the United Nations to institute much-needed reforms in the powerful Security Council as it criticized not only what it described as the anomalous voting rights granted to all members of the body in the elections of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) but also the veto powers of the five permanent members.
Ambassador Hilario G. Davide, Jr., Philippine Permanent Representative to the United Nations, also called for improvements in the working methods of what is considered to be the most powerful organ of the United Nations when he presented Manila's position on the Security Council reforms in his statement before the General Assembly on Wednesday, 18 November.
In what has been the Philippines' strongest pitch on the issue, Ambassador Davide called for an end to "the patent and palpable discrimination" against Member States that are not Members of the Security Council in the elections of judges of the ICJ, saying this is contrary to and definitely against the principle of sovereign equality of all Member States solemnly enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations.
Ambassador Davide questioned in particular why members of the 15-member Security Council are each given two votes during the election of judges for the ICJ—one as members of the General Assembly and another as members of the Security Council.
"There exists no valid and logical reason for this discrimination," Ambassador Davide said. "This situation could even create a greater evil when a mere majority of the 15 members of the Council will influence the final results of the elections in the General Assembly."
"This is an anomaly which should be corrected," Ambassador Davide said, noting that each Member-State only has one vote in the elections for members of the Security Council itself, the Economic and Social Council, the Human Rights Council, and other bodies in the United Nations system.
Ambassador Davide, who was a former Chief Justice of the Philippine Supreme Court, also pointed out that despite the criteria provided for in the Statute of the ICJ, which only prescribe qualifications in Article 2 and representations of the main forms of civilization and of the principal legal systems of the world in Article 9, the Permanent Members of the Security Council always occupy a seat in the ICJ, resulting in and perpetuating a gross imbalance in the World Court.
"Why give the Permanent Members of the Security Council such a special privilege, which could result in a continuing violation of the representations requirements?" Ambassador Davide asked.
The General Assembly debate came two weeks after the Philippines lost its bid for a seat in the world court when Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago, who emerged in the top five in the first round of voting in the General Assembly, eventually yielded to the candidate from Somalia after she failed to obtain the absolute majority of votes in the Security Council.
Under ICJ procedures, both the General Assembly and the Security Council would have to elect candidates for vacant seats in the ICJ in separate but simultaneous secret balloting with the top five candidates obtaining absolute majority of votes in both organs getting the available seats.
In addition to the ICJ voting process, the Philippines also took issue with the veto power of the five permanent members of the Security Council—the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Russia and China.
"Further to the adherence to and application of democratic principles in the United Nations, Security Council reform proposals should also include ways and means to curtail the exercise of special privileges reserved for a few in order lessen and remove discrimination against the vast majority in the general membership. A specific issue is the veto in its current form," Ambassador Davide said.
"The Philippines looks forward to a judicious restriction of its use, such as disallowing its use in cases of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity; and disallowing its use if the Permanent Member concerned is a party to an act under scrutiny or is involved in a conflict-of-interest situation," he said.
"We may also add the establishment of mechanisms to override the veto," the Filipino envoy said, citing Article 24 of the United Nations Charter, which states that for the purpose of ensuring prompt and effective action, the Member States conferred on the Security Council primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security.
"Whether this be viewed as a surrender of part of the Member States sovereignty or as a mere delegation of powers, the fact remains that both may be withdrawn and a veto may be overidden by the General Assembly should the exercise thereof be ultra vires," Ambassador Davide said.
" These are just and valid proposals to ensure the application and faithful observance of the principle of sovereign equality of all Member States as enunciated in paragraph 1, Article 2, Chapter 1 of the Charter of the United Nations," he added.
On the other proposed improvements, Ambassador Davide reiterated his call for the consideration and adoption of the Philippine proposal for reforms in the working methods of the Security Council since this is not only the least controversial but is also immediately achievable.
Ambassador Davide recalled the Philippine statement during the Security Council open debate on 27 August 2008 where he mentioned that the Security Council must, in its working methods strictly adhere to democratic practices and procedures; observe due process; and guarantee fairness, justice and equity to all concerned.
Among the Philippine proposals are the increase in the number of Security Council meetings, including informal meetings, to hear the views of Member States and providing of full information to all Member States on issues deliberated by the Security Council. ###

CMMC Maine Current students or hopefuls?
- 0Feb 16, '11 by JLChasteenHi! I have just finished my application to CMMC school of nursing in Lewiston, ME. I am just wondering if there are any other 2011 applicants or even current students out there, hoping we could talk. Current applicants, just wondering what you did for your essay, what you felt about the Kaplan test, and how you feel about your chances this year.. current students, can you tell us about your experience getting in? Did it take more than one try? How is the program so far? Thanks!! Hope to find you guys out there!
- 0Feb 19, '11 by JLChasteenbump.............................................. .....anyone out there?
- 0Feb 22, '11 by TMcDYes, I am in the same boat, but I probably won't be any help to you. I'm not sure what their acceptance rate is or what criteria they look at the most, but that is what I'm most curious about at this point. Most likely, I'll only ever find out whether I make the cut or not.
I thought the Kaplan test was alright. Comparing it to the NET test, the questions on the Kaplan were more pre-nursing-specific. The NET had some geometry, electrical circuit, and thermodynamics questions, for example. The Kaplan stuck to anatomy- and physiology-type science and math problems that you might find in dosage calculations. And the reading and writing, well they were about what I would expect to see on a reading or writing test. On the NET, the reading questions were far more difficult, where I felt you had to choose the best shade of grey so to speak, and I found the time limit on the reading very restrictive. On the Kaplan, the answers were more clear cut and I had plenty of time. On the Kaplan, I got the most questions wrong on the science section by far, because you either knew those answers or you didn't. But it doesn't matter if one section is particularly hard, because they are looking at your overall score (I think). Ultimately I scored in the same percentile on both tests, but some people might not.
Outside of the application process, the main thing I'm wondering about the CMMC program is why their failure rate has increased from 25% to about 50% in the last several years. Are they admitting more people and therefore getting a little less picky? Or, has the program gotten tougher? If I'm accepted I'll probably ask them myself before deciding how many regular hours, if any, I'll work in the fall.
- 0Mar 16, '11 by JLChasteenso have you heard? I got my letter today , I'm in :-)
- 0Mar 16, '11 by TMcDCongratulations!
Just checked, and the letter was there, but they don't want me. They offered some kind of wait-list deal, in case some other students don't attend. It doesn't say if they sent that to everyone or not. Looks like I will be going to my second choice, SMCC, either next spring or next fall. I'm not thrilled, but I knew this wasn't a sure thing as my academic history is far from perfect.
- 0Mar 24, '11 by danigirls3I got my acceptance letter on the 16th too. I was wondering how the class schedule works at cmmc. I took all of my prerequisite classes through uma and only need the nursing courses. Has anyone else done just the nursing classes. I am really excited to get started, nervous about working and going to school.
- 0Mar 25, '11 by JLChasteenTmcd- I am sorry you didnt get it! :-( however I do have a friend that didnt get accepted and she was not offered a spot on any "wait list" so that isnt something they did with everyone, and you still may be offered a spot if some people who were accepted dont attend. Hang in there you can do it!
danigirls3- I am not 100% sure on the class schedule but i know it is monday through thursday at least half the day (includes clinicals) for just nursing courses. I am finishing up my couple pre reqs i have left this summer at usm so i will only be doing nursing classes as well. They advise you not to work even if you are only doing nursing classes as it is still a TON of work.. I would say if you can get away with it DONT work.. or you may jeopardize your grades, but if you have to then i guess you have to... where do you live?
- 0Mar 25, '11 by danigirls3I live in Auburn but i work in the Portland area. i only work 3 days a week. I can change my schedule at work to accomodate school but i was hoping not to have to.
- 0Mar 25, '11 by JLChasteenQuote from danigirls3I guess its really just up to you and what you think you can handle.. I wouldn't dare try working and going to nursing school just because I have known people who have tried and failed miserably. I am not saying it isn't possible, but I am sure it makes it much more difficult. Maybe you should just test it out for the first few weeks of the semester and see how you handle it, and if you want to continue working through nursing school?I live in Auburn but i work in the Portland area. i only work 3 days a week. I can change my schedule at work to accomodate school but i was hoping not to have to.
- 0Apr 7, '11 by walterpharrisQuote from danigirls3HiI live in Auburn but i work in the Portland area. i only work 3 days a week. I can change my schedule at work to accomodate school but i was hoping not to have to.
Im in the Fall 2011 class myself....super excited, look forward to meeting you.

So im pretty new to working out and all this stuff in general, but Iv done a fair amount of research to do it in the most effective and healthy way.
So I understand that I should be consuming 1g of protein per lean pound of body mass, plus 30-40g more than that since I wanna bulk (correct me if I'm wrong). So that puts me at about 180g of protein a day.
I find it very hard to consume this on my rest days, that is if I am even suppose to be consuming that much on days I dont workout. So is it okay to take whey protein on my rest days?

Copper Futures Advance as U.S. Recovery Buoys Demand Outlook
Aug. 25 (Bloomberg) -- Copper rose to a two-week high in New York amid signs of a strengthening economic recovery in the U.S., the world's second-biggest consumer of industrial metals.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago's national index, a weighted average of 85 economic indicators, climbed to 0.39 in July, topping the 0.2 median forecast of economists in a Bloomberg survey. Data last week showing gains in housing starts and existing-home sales helped mute the impact of a drop in July new-home purchases in government figures released today, said David Meger at Vision Financial Markets.
"The market still believes the ongoing U.S. economic recovery is going to support strong copper demand here," Meger, director of metals trading at Vision, said in a telephone interview from Chicago.
Copper futures for December delivery rose 0.4 percent to settle at $3.237 a pound at 1:18 p.m. on the Comex in New York, after touching $3.246, the highest for a most-active contract since Aug. 11.
Trading was delayed as CME Group Inc., the largest futures market, suspended the start of almost all of its Globex electronic-trading markets because of a technical issue.
The Copper Development Association estimates that the average single-family home uses 439 pounds (199 kilograms) of the metal, used for wires and plumbing. China is the biggest consumer.
The London Metal Exchange is closed today for a public holiday.

The high court, voting 6-3, said yesterday it would defer to the FCC's interpretation of a federal law that sets the boundaries of the agency's authority.
Although courts normally defer to the expertise of administrative agencies when they interpret ambiguous statutes, opponents of the FCC deadlines said that principle shouldn't apply when an agency is determining its own jurisdiction.
