What once was a relatively small group of tree hugging consumers has grown into a large population of carbon-neutral wannabes. The Running Industry is beginning to respond to this new eco-sensitive community by developing green products and events. In the short term, green efforts offer promotional benefits and over a number of years, events, vendors and manufacturers are seeing significant energy and cost savings associated with sustainable practices. But in the long run industry entities hope their collective efforts will result in clean air and attractive natural areas to fully support the low energy, health-improving activity of running, the most natural of sports.
Greener Events Becoming More Popular
Bolder Boulder was one of the first major road races to implement resource conservation efforts although race director Cliff Bosley acknowledges that initial efforts in the mid-90s were informal and modest. In 1999, Bolder Boulder began tracking the amount of waste that was collected along the course and at the finish area. Every year as the field and spectator numbers have increased, the amount of non-recyclable garbage has decreased. With the help of the University of Colorado Recycling Program, an environmental impact report is produced after each race and recommendations are made for ways to improve.
Fifteen years ago the local bus service began offering a park-and-ride service which about 27% of the Bolder Boulder entrants used in 2007. In 2003, race organizers began using a usable lunch bag for post-race refreshments and items are selected that have minimal packaging. Over the last five years, the entry form has been reduced from 8 to 4 pages and the online registrations have increased from 15% to 50%. All unused food and drinks, averaging about 10,000 lbs. per year, are donated to the Boulder Community Food Share.
At last year's event, 15,906 lbs. of race day garbage were recycled, a 41%
increase from 2006. The result of their conservation efforts saved the
equivalent of:
* 37 forty foot Douglas-fir trees
* 41,300 gallons of water
* 332 million BTU energy
* 7 Metric Tons of Carbon Emission (MTCE)
* 3,000 gallons of gasoline
Bosley believes that a mindset of minimizing waste and saving resources not only is the right thing to do for the environment, but can help an event's bottom line.
Trail runners didn't need Al Gore to bring home the importance of minimizing our ecological footprint so the first 'Green Running Event' was probably a trail run. Nancy Hobbs, executive director of the American Trail Running Association, says the organization is very supportive of the green event concept. "We hope that race directors stage their races with the environment in mind. Of utmost importance is to use eco-friendly course markings such as flour, and at the very least to remove any and all markings once the event is completed. We like to encourage runners to carry their own water and / or fill up their bottles at aid stations rather than using paper cups. These are just a few ways to mitigate the impact to our natural resources."
One candidate for the first authentic green race is the Keweenaw Trail Running Festival which began in 2000. The director, Jeff Crumbaugh has been improving his pro-environment efforts every year. In 2006, there were no garbage bags to take to the landfill after a 2-day event that included a meal for 300 runners. Finishers are served a breakfast featuring organic, locally grown foods that minimize use of fossil fuels required for transportation. Real dinnerware replaces Styrofoam cups and paper plates.
Bringing in real dinnerware and refilling participant water bottles is not going to work very well for the typical road race. But running events of any type and size can get cost effective promotions by taking some modest eco-friendly steps. See the March 9 Running USA wire, for example, with an article about green efforts of the GO! St. Louis Marathon. Another example is the Carlsbad Marathon, organized by In Motion, which joined forces with "Keep California Beautiful" to make the January 2008 event litter free. Guided by the slogan 'only our feet hit the ground' all participants were invited to be 'Eco-Runners' who took steps such as wearing their own water belt or throwing cups and gels in trash cans along the course to ensure that the event left no trash. As an incentive, participants who made an Eco-Runner or Walker pledge at the expo had a chance to win $50 gift certificates along the course.
The Eugene Marathon has also generated considerable media attention by adopting green policies. Special initiatives for the May 4, 2008 event include partnering with the Eugene Water and Electric Board and the local Hilton to use sustainable power during the 3 days of the event, using a Solar Sun Rover as power at the finish, organizing special recycling volunteers and encouraging all runners to participate in their green mission.
Since Green appears to be the "New Pink" when it comes to affiliating with worthy causes, marketers are tripping over each other to associate with pro-green organizations and products. Therefore having a green platform can also help an event recruit sponsors. The San Francisco Marathon organizers, for example, have lined up an impressive list of sponsors including Clif Bar, Hyatt, JetBlue, Cytomax, Hint Water and Saturn to help implement their green plan (see http://www.runsfm.com/about/green.html for details).
To view details of other green events, check out Runner's World new pro-environment web community at www.runnersworld-greenteam.com . With its partner, Nature's Path, sustainability resources including green tips for race directors are provided. Eco-friendly suggestions cover every aspect of the event such as serving organic pasta at pre-event dinners, encouraging runners to recycle shoes on race day and replacing pace cars with bike police. Events that become an official Greenteam race are being promoted in Runner's World magazine ads and the website. Featured Greenteam events not already mentioned include the Portland Marathon, Rock 'n' Roll San Jose Half-Marathon, IMT Des Moines Marathon, AT&T Austin Marathon, Toronto Marathon and the Yuengling Shamrock Marathon and Half-Marathon.
Eco-Responsibility of Running Shoe Companies Evolving
Large companies such as Nike, wanting to avoid PR problems such as those caused by labor practices of the 90s, are taking a lead in the area of green policies and action. According to Joel Makower, executive editor of GreenBiz.com, "Nike is making bold moves to eliminate toxic materials, improve recyclability and generally reduce waste and emissions of their products and their manufacturing processes."
Highlights of their green efforts include:
* Production of Nike Considered products such as the trail running shoe Humara which uses less raw material, generates less waste in manufacturing, is PVC free and uses water-based adhesives instead of petroleum.
* Recycling effort called 'Reuse-A-Shoe' that has recycled more than 20 million pairs of athletic shoes and created more than 250 sport surfaces.
* Member of the Paper Working Group which collaborates to make environmentally preferable paper products more affordable and widely available.
Brooks earned the Runner's World International 'Innovation Award' in 2006 for
environmental stewardship efforts. They have an easy to find Green Room on their
website which describes their technologies and practices in a way that makes it
understandable to the average consumer:
* BioMoGo is a new midsole foam for footwear coming July '08 that will biodegrade in 20 years - 50 times faster than standard midsoles. That change is expected to save more than 30 million lbs. of landfill in the next 20 years.
* Collateral materials from brochures to hangtags are scrutinized for their environmental impact. By using more responsible materials for Fall 2008 catalogs Brooks saved 47 trees; 19,026 gallons of water; exhaust emissions equivalent to driving a compact car 5,322 miles and 2,174 lbs. of solid waste.
* In 2008, new eco-friendly shoe boxes will contribute to the saving of 13,827 trees; 5,693,282 gallons of water; enough power for 650,661 homes and 48,800 less tons of air pollution.
* HPR (High Performance Rubber) Green outsole featured in all trail running shoes is made from sand rather than oil.
* In early 2008 Brooks will be scored and counseled by the Bainbridge Graduate Institute on the company's baseline carbon footprint and how to improve.
Adidas is now 99% PVC-free worldwide. In 2007, the company conducted energy efficiency workshops for 101 suppliers in Vietnam and South-China. The adidas American headquarters has earned 'Salmon Safe' certification which involves an in-depth assessment of land management practices that could affect water quality and fish habitat. They are also participating with City of Portland to eliminate non-native vegetation.
An ASICS Eco Plan mark has been developed to identify products that satisfy certain standards: reduce environmental impact, save energy and resources in manufacturing, reduce wastes by extending product life, recycle products towards the goal of a recycling oriented society and consider packaging as part of the product that should also be simplified and recycled.
New Balance is the only athletic footwear company that maintains U.S. production factories. It also uses 100% recycled materials in most shoe boxes and all stuffing and wrapping. New Balance has phased out all PVC and has many vegan options and is known as one of the most socially responsible of the big shoe manufacturers.
In the coming years, if the greening of the Running Industry continues to evolve, the sport's 40 million participants will also be inspired to reduce their carbon footprints.

They sent you 3,000 miles to interview me?'' Grinning in disbelief, Wings Hauser whispers, almost to himself, ''I'm just another monkey in the tree.''
In the world of video, though, the Hauser monkey is a gorilla. Say ''Hauser'' to most Friday-night moviegoers at the multiplex and they'll think you mean Doogie. But after 44 films mostly no-budget thrillers and action flicks in nine years, Wings Hauser's name on a cassette box often means the difference between the movie gathering dust on a video-store shelf or renting steadily week after week.
That's because the 43-year-old actor-director-screenwriter is a bit different from most stars of action flicks. Jean Claude Van Damme may have the muscles, Rutger Hauer the attitude, and Michael Pare the sigh-guy good looks; Hauser is unique for his obvious intelligence and his ferocious, good-humored enthusiasm for taking professional gambles. His performance as the psychotic police chief in Norman Mailer's Tough Guys Don't Dance, for example, has been widely recognized as the best thing in that howlingly weird vanity film.
Despite small roles in theatrical releases like Jo Jo Dancer, Your Life Is Calling, Hauser's bread-and-butter métier is cheap action: Movies like Dead Man Walking may never get reviewed by Siskel and Ebert, but their video following is devoted. Recently, in fact, Hauser's been so busy that his life seems like one continuous chase scene: Having completed nine movies in the past 15 months alone, he's currently nearing the end of a killer low-budget, 14-day shooting schedule in California's San Fernando Valley. No prima donna, he shares a dressing room (a.k.a. the bathroom) with the rest of the cast, spends extra time rehearsing with the little girl who plays his daughter, and cuddles with 27-year-old girlfriend, actress Darcy DeMoss (Can't Buy Me Love), between takes.
To understand the rich and strange depth Hauser brings to his action quickies, you have to hear about the rich, strange life he has led. His father, screenwriter Dwight Hauser, was blacklisted as a Communist during the McCarthy era; as the senior Hauser's star fell, Wings (né Gerald Dwight) was shunned by school classmates. ''For two years, until we moved, I basically had just my family and my imagination,'' he says, sitting after the day's shooting in the Hollywood restaurant that serves as home turf (and where he wrote much of the script for the highly praised 1983 Gene Hackman film Uncommon Valor).
Locked out of films, Dwight Hauser started a theater group outside of Los Angeles, where 8-year-old Wings worked backstage. Although exposed to acting since childhood, he turned to music as a young man, writing folk-rock songs and singing them with an acoustic guitar on L.A. street corners. But Hauser's life took a downturn in 1972 when he split with his wife of two years, taking his 13-month-old daughter, Bright. ''I arrived in L.A., swear to God, with $30, a box of Pampers, and a suitcase,'' he says. They moved into a vacant garage; other homeless people babysat Bright while Hauser worked as a night watchman.
The music didn't pan out, though, and Hauser turned to the acting craft he'd known from his days at his father's theater. In 1977, he joined the cast of The Young and the Restless and ''died there for 3 1/2 years to support my family.'' His first big role and the part that tapped the blue-eyed psycho in his soul didn't arrive until 1982, when he landed a pivotal part in the cop thriller Vice Squad.
It seemed an inauspicious breakthrough: Hauser left during the film's premiere because the audience was screaming at the screen. ''I thought I'd have to go into real estate, people would hate me that much,'' he says. ''But I got fan letters like you wouldn't believe from women, and letters from parents thanking me for scaring the hell out of their kids and keeping them off the street.''
Vice Squad opened the door to action-adventure, a genre that was starting to find a new audience on home video. Hauser acknowledges that ''video's been good to me,'' and it may yet be his springboard to real fame. He had a recurring role on the Vietnam TV series China Beach last season and starred in the critically acclaimed TV movie Bump in the Night, which dealt sensitively with divorce and child molestation.
Hauser is earning ''a lot of goddamn money,'' but he says he hasn't ''forgotten what it's like to be homeless.'' After dinner at a local restaurant, he cashes a check so he can give a few dollars to a woman on the street. Maybe it's the memories of his early hand-to-mouth days that burn under this actor's wild on-screen glee, and maybe it's a fear that he could still end up back there. ''I have a home today,'' he says, ruminating quietly, ''but, God, who knows about tomorrow?''

Has anyone ever had to deal with things like this before? What tactics should I employ? Things to avoid? Things to focus on? Words of wisdom are welcome.
If it helps, my setup is an A5 digi, dog leg air-thru stock, 20" tactical smartparts barrel, trinity 25 round TAC CAP, basic red-dot sight, radio, and a specop's action ghillie. Now just to let you know I have always relied heavily on my ghillie but it just doesn't look like it's going to cut it this time around.
I have the option of choosing which part of the field to play in so come the 7th I plan on giving it a good walk thru to pick the cream of the crop. I haven't the funds to buy a flatline and an egrip to pick up the broadsword position so I'm staying with sniper. I think it can be done. Maybe the longbow sniper position specops talks about? No matter if it goes well or turns into a slaughter house I plan on tell you guys my experience.
Any wisdom?

Forum 3 - 2010 - Gilbert F. White National Flood Policy Forum
Managing Flood Risks & Floodplain Resources
The ASFPM Foundation took up Flood Risk as the cause for the 3rd Gilbert F. White National Flood Policy Forum. In fact, when the Events Planning Committee began to ponder the program plans, they found it to be such a comprehensive and complex subject that they broke it into three segments in order to properly tackle the topic. Symposium 1 in September addressed quantification through the theme, "Defining and Measuring Flood Risks and Floodplain Resources". Symposium 2 in November dealt more with communicating, via the theme, "Flood Risk Perception, Communication, and Behavior". The background information and common understandings garnered focused the 2010 Forum in March on "Flood Risk Management". The series was by invitation only as in the previous Foundation Forums – the first in 2004 entitled "Is the 1% Chance Flood Standard Sufficient" and the second in 2007 entitled "Floodplain Management in 2050".
Flood Risk Management Forum Final Report
Flood Risk Management Forum Condensed Report
Flood Risk Management Forum. Series overview and introduction to the 3rd Gilbert F. White Flood Policy Forum.
Perspectives on Floodplain Management: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow. Dr. Gilbert F. White speaks at the Buyouts Workshop in Davenport, Iowa, January 1994.
The challenge facing the third assembly of the Gilbert F. White National Flood Policy Forum was to solidify a cohesive vision of the fundamental components of a flood risk and resources management strategy for the nation, and to identify the steps that must be taken to develop and implement such a strategy.
Over 60 invited papers on this topic have been collected within the background material document, roughly grouped into five categoriesalthough most papers adopted a broad perspective and could properly have been placed in more than one category. These background papers set out the thinking of experts in the field as they ponder whether a risk management approach will be an appropriate and more effective way to managing floods and floodplain resources in the future. If so, what would such a framework entail, what should it seek to achieve, what obstacles must be overcome? The thinking presented in these papers underlay the discussion at the Assembly of the Forum.

Symposium 1
"Defining and Measuring Flood Risks and Floodplain Resources" seeks to identify the most effective operational definition(s) of flood risk and the methods for quantifying both the risks that floods pose and the benefits and resources that flooding can bring.
Symposium 2
"Flood Risk Perception,
Communication, and Behavior". Using consensus recommendations
on the best definition of and methods for quantifying flood risks and
benefits (generated at the first symposium), the second symposium, "Flood
Risk Perception, Communication, and Behavior," worked to reach agreement
on the best methods to get the public and decisionmakers to take appropriate
steps to manage and otherwise cope with flooding. A major research project,
just completed, has confirmed that individual and household behaviors
to mitigate and/or cope with the threat of natural hazards and/or terrorism
are not influenced by an understanding of the actual risk of such events
and/or their consequences. Rather, appropriate coping behaviors, such
as preparedness and mitigation, are the result of a range of other factors
identified in that study. Thus, the earlier belief that people would take
That research did not investigate collective behavior, i.e., decisionmaking at local, state, or federal levels. How to foster appropriate collective behavior is significant to floodplain management because many of the most effective mitigation techniques (land use, building codes, open space maintenance) cannot be carried out individually. Thus separate consideration needs to be given to how collective decisions about risk and environmental issues are made and can be influenced.
States Symposia, April 2011
Two follow-on State Symposia were held in 2011, in Indianapolis, Indiana, on April 12 and in Boulder, Colorado, on April 14. Here is the report on their discussions and observations, as an appendix to the 2010 Forum.
States Symposia, March 2013
Two additional follow-on State Symposia were held in 2013, in Austin, Texas on March 19 and in Atlanta, Georgia, on March 21. Here is the report on their discussions and observations, as a second appendix to the 2010 Forum.

Spoticam lamp — what would George Orwell say?
Tuesday, August 4, 2009 - 1:04am
Equally creepy and beautiful, this Spoticam lamp has been designed with more than a wink to the CCTV cameras we see in cities and gardens the world over. A product from the Antrepo Design Industry, it can either be screwed to the wall or used as a table lamp.
While they say it's available in either white or aluminum, Antrepo's previous designs have been mere concepts. It's probable, however, that they're looking for a manufacturer, so hopefully there's someone out there who can help them.

Flourless Chocolate Cake
Flourless Chocolate Cake
1 stick plus 2 tablespoons butter
¼ cup sugar
1 1/3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
3 tablespoons coffee
4 eggs
½ teaspoon vanilla
¼ teaspoon salt
powdered sugar for dusting
Grease 6 half-cup ramekins with the 2 tablespoons butter and sprinkle the inside of each one with 1 teaspoon of the sugar. Place ramekins in a 9×13 baking dish.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, stick of butter, and coffee. Microwave for 90 seconds and then stir until smooth and creamy.
In a mixer combine the eggs, remaining sugar, vanilla, and salt. Mix until frothy and almost doubled in volume, about 5 minutes. Fold 1/3 of this mixture into the chocolate. Repeat 2 more times, until all the egg mixture has been folded into the chocolate.
Portion the batter into the 6 ramekins. Add enough water to the pan to come up halfway on the sides of the ramekins. Bake about 20 minutes. The edges will just be setting and the cake will have risen slightly. Cool slightly and the loosen the edges with a dull knife. Invert each cake onto a plate and then flip back over so the top is facing upwards. Cover and refrigerate.
Just before serving, sprinkle with powdered sugar.

My name is Jared Dionne and I come from the small town of Foster, Rhode Island. I am currently a senior journalism/marketing double major at Ithaca College. My passion lies in the form of music. I knew music was destined to be the primary focus of my life the first time I heard a song that I connected to on more than just a superficial level. Since then, I spend the majority of my time listening to, writing about, performing and watching performances of music.
I am both a blogger and a staff writer for Ithaca College's prestigious weekly newspaper, The Ithacan. I tend to write mostly album and live reviews for the print edition, but I have done a few features and a bunch of exciting interviews with well-known bands such as Ra Ra Riot, OK Go and Phoenix. I previously wrote for "Sharp Notes" a blog that consisted mainly of my take on music news, new albums and anything else that relates to sonic artistry.
My dream is to work for in the music industry (booking, PR, labels, venues, etc.) where I can further immerse myself in music culture. I would also be interested in festival planning and management. I think one of the most appealing aspects of the music industry is the breakneck pace and intensity. I have a strong work ethic and I'd like to see it put to good use by doing something I love that is already a major component of my life.
Feel free to browse my portfolio and learn more about me!

Dr. Lester Scott Stoney's Ratings
Dr Stoney's care of me gave me mobility and fluid movement back as a mechanic and welder its nice to be able to move under in and around equipment without pain being so great one has to stop and walk away,
There are always gluttons in anything humans do.. Dr Stoney advised me akwSys about the importance of not using other chemicals including abd especially alcohol with pain medication.
He twisted no ones arm to take too much. 10 tablets are too much if not taken as prescribed. Typical Anericsn a Witch Hubting tactics., Some other doctor was jealous of Dr Stoney's patients opinions. And the hunt was on.
A sorry state of affairs when your own colleagues lead the hunt.

Dr. Stoney somehow prescribes crazy, irresponsible amounts of opiates and is somehow judgmental towards his patients about it, all at the same time! It's quite a talent I have never seen in a doctor who supposedly cares about people's pain. Another ironic thing is that he has autographed pictures (thanking him for being so wonderful) of celebrities to be well known pill addicts all over his walls! Melanie Griffith to name one.
He also has a few pictures of himself with Bill Clinton, who is at least a foot taller than Dr. Stoney. Hilarious.
Dr. Stoney also claimed to be injecting me with Botox in my neck that my insurance was paying thousands of dollars for, but whatever he was injecting was certainly NOT Botox because when I actually had Botox injected by a reputable doctor, who showed me the Botox label, I turned out to be horribly allergic to Botox.
This man is so incredibly unscrupulous, I can't believe he still has his medical license.

I agree! This guy was cold as ice. I have never been treated so poorly as I have by Dr. Scott Stoney. He refused to explain the procedure or why he was treating me with shots to my spine. I was skeptical when he didn't even go over my xrays. He just told me to lye down on my stomach did the shots and walked out of the room without a word. I'm here to bash the treatment After my 3rd appointment the pain was gone but if you want empathy or a doctor with bed side manors go somewhere else.

It is hard to believe that this doctor is rated a 5. My experience with him was a nightmare.This doctor is irresponsible, uncaring and narcissistic.

Dr. Stoney is compassionate and really listens to your problems. He also does an excellent job of helping mitigate the pain - I am now able to work a 40 hour aweek job where 3 years ago there was no way I could have handled it.

He was more interested in pushing drugs than fixing my pain issues. After he berated me in his office, I have returned.

This doctor is wonderful. He was able to control the pain that my son had after a fall. Surgeons wanted to operate but Dr. Stoney was able to get my son back to work after a rotator cuff injury and back disc hernation. Dr. Stoney really has a gift. My son avoided surgery and he is back to work.

I'm a throat cancer patient that has had numerous tongue resections and a radical neck dissection. Needless to say, pain has been a constant for the last 5 yrs. Dr Stoney has worked with me for years to keep my pain in check while minimizing my concerns of physical addiction. He's truly an artist when it comes to pain management!!

This Physician is wonderful. I had gone to many therapist and doctors. I had even tried acupuncture but the pain was so severe I thought about surgery. I had a surgery date scheduled even but then I had an appointment with Dr. Stoney. I was so glad I did because by the time my surgery time came around I was pain free. I did not have to go to surgery. It was a miracle. I was free of pain. I can not thank Dr. Stoney enough from the bottom of my heart. I am healed and I have been pain free since working with Dr. Stoney as my physician. After being with so many therapists and doctors of course I was skeptical but that fear was allayed by Dr. Stoney's confidence in his ability to treat me. It was apparent after only one visit with Dr. Stoney my pain dropped immediately. I am so grateful. Now i can return to a life without pain, no longer feeling the stabbing and sharp shooting pains that kept me awake at night, no longer crying from the pain. Thank you again Dr. Stoney

Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations Releases Report on DOD Response to Benghazi
Report Details Six Key Findings
WASHINGTON – The House Armed Services Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations released a comprehensive report today evaluating the response of the Department of Defense (DOD) to the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012. Read the Report
To undertake the committee's review, Chairman Howard P. "Buck" McKeon directed the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations to work alongside the full committee. As a result, this report expresses the views of Chairman McKeon, Vice Chairman Mac Thornberry, Rep. Martha Roby (who was the chairman of the Oversight and Investigations subcommittee until December 2013), and the five majority members of that subcommittee.
To date, committee staff has reviewed thousands of pages of written material (including classified emails and situation reports) made available by DOD. Staff has also held three classified staff briefings, and two classified interviews. Members have participated in two open hearings, and seven additional classified briefings. In undertaking this work, the committee has met with and received information from military personnel in the entire chain of command in connection with Benghazi: from those on the ground at the time of the attack to the nation's senior-most uniformed leader.
While the committee's inquiry continues, the majority members believe that information gathered to date reaffirm the relevant findings in the Interim Progress Report for the Members of the Republican Conference on the Events Surrounding the September 11, 2012 Terrorist Attack in Benghazi, Libya issued in April 2013 by the five committees with jurisdiction in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Based on its activities undertaken since the release of that report, majority members make the six findings listed below:
Read the Report (PDF)
I. In assessing military posture in anticipation of the September 11 anniversary, White House officials failed to comprehend or ignored the dramatically deteriorating security situation in Libya and the growing threat to U.S. interests in the region. Official public statements seem to have exaggerated the extent and rigor of the security assessment conducted at the time.
II. U.S. personnel in Benghazi were woefully vulnerable in September 2012 because a.) the administration did not direct a change in military force posture, b.) there was no intelligence of a specific "imminent" threat in Libya, and c.) the Department of State, which has primary responsibility for diplomatic security, favored a reduction of Department of Defense security personnel in Libya before the attack.
III. Defense Department officials believed nearly from the outset of violence in Benghazi that it was a terrorist attack rather than a protest gone awry, and the President subsequently permitted the military to respond with minimal direction.
IV. The U.S. military's response to the Benghazi attack was severely degraded because of the location and readiness posture of U.S. forces, and because of lack of clarity about how the terrorist action was unfolding. However, given the uncertainty about the prospective length and scope of the attack, military commanders did not take all possible steps to prepare for a more extended operation.
V. There was no "stand down" order issued to U.S. military personnel in Tripoli who sought to join the fight in Benghazi. However, because official reviews after the attack were not sufficiently comprehensive, there was confusion about the roles and responsibilities of these individuals.
VI. The Department of Defense is working to correct many weaknesses revealed by the Benghazi attack, but the global security situation is still deteriorating and military resources continue to decline.

Remembering Gary Tobin
The Jewish community lost one of its most vocal and spirited advocates today with the passing of Dr. Gary Tobin, president of the Institute for Jewish & Community Research in San Francisco.
His work as a demographer often challenged conventional Jewish thinking, forcing the community to turn a critical eye towards itself when thinking about the Jewish future. Gary was a firm believer in reaching out to all those on the periphery and he often took unpopular or controversial positions, like promoting proactive conversion as a means to grow the Jewish community. Highly critical of the National Jewish Population Survey, he also believed the Jewish community was bigger than we thought, and he wanted to make sure all who aligned themselves with the Jewish people – particularly those with diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds – were counted.
In partnership with Be'Chol Lashon ("In Every Tongue"), an advocacy organization directed by his wife Diane, and through books and opinion pieces, Gary advanced the work and ideas of all those who seek a truly welcoming Jewish community. He once wrote that "the Jewish community should promote the joys, meaning and benefits of Jewish life. We should overcome being afraid of who will be lost to Judaism and instead work on who will join us."
In those two lines, he summarized beautifully what we – and all others who advocate for a welcoming and inclusive Jewish community – believe is the best way to secure a vibrant Jewish future. Gary was an optimist, and we are certain his work, words and legacy will be felt in the Jewish community for years to come.

Beautiful. Condolences to his family.
It's good to know there are active members of the Jewish community who care enough about Jewish continuity to embrace diversity and to welcome and assist interfaith families. To refuse to bring people in who want to be involved, is, in a very strange way, ultimately anti-Jewish, anti-Semitic.

I only met him a couple of times but he was extremely kind to me and the work he did was essential. I highly recommend his book "Opening the Gates."
Comment by Paul Golin — July 7, 2009 @ 4:11 pm
Thanks, Paul. Good.
My sisters, niece, niece's child, cousin's child, my own children, and many of my friends are Jewish according to Jewish law, but culturally secular Christian or secular humanist. In terms of perspective on the culture, it is painfully vivid how little we have in common with cultural Jews (aside from the survival anxiety, which is a pretty crummy take-away.)
I hope "the Jewish community" appreciates how difficult it is to deconstruct a culturally foreign identity and rebuild it as a Jewish identity. It can be frightening to re-evaluate or jettison basic assumptions. It takes commitment, courage, and determination. I would hope Jews would take this willingness as a compliment. It is no easy task to put oneself through a wholesale personal transformation. That should tell you something about the power and beauty of Judaism. I have a great deal of respect for people who choose to make the transition easier - for "returnees" or for converts.
Comment by Sara — July 7, 2009 @ 5:08 pm
My cousin's daughter is half Haitian, half Ashkenazi Jew. My niece is half-Saudi, half-Jewish. Her child is half Puerto Rican. All are Jewish according to the matrilineal descent rule. So, this is not theoretical - this is my family.
Good article.
Comment by Sara — July 7, 2009 @ 5:16 pm
And all are welcome, as far as Gary, of blessed memory, and I am concerned.
Comment by Rabbi Kerry Olitzky — July 7, 2009 @ 6:11 pm
i was very sad to hear about Professor Tobin's passing. i read his book Rabbis Talk About Intermarriage a few years ago and it was one of the most profound accounts ever, dealing with the internal strife Rabbis often face when it comes to deciding whether or not to officiate at an interfaith wedding. i agreed with Tobin's approach that conversion should be more proactive. if we keep waiting for people to come to us, then we'll never get ahead in life.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Exxon is once again indulging its appetite for so called unconventional energy plays in North America, this time agreeing to fork over $2.9 billion for Calgary based Celtic Exploration. What Exxon gets is 545,000 of undeveloped, mostly natural gas acreage on Montney field and another 104,000 acres on Duvernay, two vast shale formations that straddle the British Columbia Alberta border.
Exxon' s Celtic deal is its biggest acquisition since XTO Energy., which it bought in 2010 for $31 billion, a move that gave it access to the industry' s latest fracking and horizontal drilling technology. Since then, Exxon has been on a tear, snapping up over 1.4 million acres of unconventional oil and gas assets in the United States and Canada.
Given Exxon' s push into western Canada, its generous premium for Celtic, and its estimated $18 billion in cash, today' s deal is understandably generating a bit of a buzz in Calgary. Who' s next?
If Exxon decides to add to its Montney holdings, acreage that could be on its radar includes stakes held by Encana, Royal Dutch Shell, Murphy Oil, Talisman Energy and Canadian Natural Resources.
Even if Exxon is done for the time being with expansion into western Canada' s shale fields, having such a big, deep pocketed producer in the neighborhood bodes well for developing the region' s "unconventional" resources, which are fast becoming one of the hottest energy plays in North America.

To Move or Not To Move
Yesterday, a neighbor asked me what I would do if I suddenly won $50,000 that day. I was totally stumped. And what was funny is that we walked for quite a while before I could think of something.
After shrugging and finally saying, "Nothing, really. I'm happy.", I finally came up with paying bills, buying sperm, and saving money.
I keep thinking that I should move into a small house or apartment, but then I think why? I'm happy.
I have awesome neighbors here: a new age shop owner, a few travelers, a free-thinking minister, a PhD candidate, and a computer programmer—not to mention that Padfoot has several doggy friends here.
When I have a child, I want a big kitchen with a table and a living room, all in an open layout. Otherwise, I want to stay in my RV.
Maybe do some traveling, if gas prices come down. In fact, I could just up and move tomorrow, if I want. I like the idea of freedom and keeping my options open. Maybe I'll leave next week!
When I tripped across this TEDtalk, Less Stuff, More Happiness, it just confirmed that I didn't want to move into a house or apartment right now.
There is nothing in the whole world that has made me happier than losing my attachment to things. (I italicize it because I always crinkle my nose when I say that word.)
When I knew I wanted to move into an RV and travel, I started writing down everything I touched, so I would know what was really most important to me. As it turned out, the only things I used were what was in my purse, my computer bag, some kitchen stuff, and a few toiletries.
What would you do with $50,000, if you won it today? And where would you move, if you could move tomorrow? What would you take with you, if you had to fit it in a car trunk?

The Wackness London Premiere Gallery
Jonathan Levine, writer and director of Sundance Festival favourite The Wackness, attended the London premiere of the film in London's Curzon Soho on Wednesday, August 20 – just over a week before the film opens in UK cinemas. He was joined by the film's two young stars, Josh Peck and Olivia Thirlby. The Wackness is a cool little coming-of-age tale set in 1994 New York about a teenage drug-dealer (Peck) and the relationships he has with his dope-smoking psychiatrist (Sir Ben Kingsley) and his daughter (Thirlby). Check out some photos from the event.

When '_properties' gets stuck as a persistent attribute
01 October 2008
1 comment
Doing some on-site consulting on an old Zope CMS that has been developed by many different developers over many years. It's pretty good and has lots of powerful features but over the years certain things have been allowed to slip. One problem was that you couldn't click the "Properties" tab. The reason was that it was trying to fetch properties that didn't exist anymore. What had happened was that the class attribute
_properties (which is used by the "Properties" tab in the ZMI) had been stored as a persistent attribute. Here's how to solve that:
def manage_fixPropertiesProblem(self):
""" fix so _properties becomes a class attribute instead """
if '_properties' in self.__dict__.keys():
del self._properties
return "Awesome!"

A new arts group will hold its first Ballantyne community meeting next week to talk about ways to develop arts and culture in what one expert says is an underserved area.
"We need to plan for what we want to see 15 to 20 years down the road, and we need a shared vision in order to know what to accomplish," said Rick Crowley, president of Ballantyne Arts Forum. "It's time for people in Ballantyne to unite and get serious about the arts."
The Ballantyne Arts Forum wants to connect members of the arts community and develop a vision for the arts scene in Ballantyne. Organizers say that may include building a new visual and performing arts center or using non-traditional spaces to bring art to where audiences already are.
Ballantyne "is lacking in performance and gallery space. It just grew so fast, and there was no cultural plan," Crowley said. "There's the Village (movie) Theater, the new Blakeney annex of the RedSky Gallery and a few shops, but right now, that's about it."
The public meeting is set for 7-8:30 p.m. Thursday at the Morrison Family YMCA.
"We hope to hear from artists, musicians, performers, writers and other creative people about what they can offer and what they want to see in the future," Crowley said.
Ballantyne is underserved for arts and culture programming, said Robert Bush, senior vice president of cultural and community investment for the Arts & Science Council.
"I think there is great potential. There's a real need for local programming, especially classes, but there's a lack of public facilities," Bush said. Demand for those facilities will make them happen eventually, he said. They'll likely happen through public/private partnerships, like other facilities in Charlotte.
The arts forum group is seeking a grant from the Arts and Science Council to develop the arts and culture plan.
The arts scene in Ballantyne is "just starting to get geared up," said Kellie Scott, owner of RedSky Gallery, which has locations in Dilworth, uptown, and opened a new gallery in Blakeney in November.
"We had a lot of customers in the Ballantyne area," said Scott, who lives in the area. "We wanted to make sure we were here as Ballantyne continues to grow."
Art is quickly becoming more visible in the area as well.
Scott designed a glass and steel sculpture fountain that was recently installed at the corner of Ardrey Kell and Rea Roads. It was commissioned by Blakeney developer Crosland, with contributions from artists Emory Davis, Eric Lalone and Ben Parish. It's made from repurposed glass and stainless steel – one of the first "green" sculptures in the area because it's made from repurposed materials and the water will shut off if another drought hits the area. The sculpture is "just as beautiful without water," Scott said.
A new effort at Morrison Family YMCA is working to bring art classes and workshops to those who frequent the facility.
Y-Arts began offering the classes in January and is working with the Ballantyne Arts Forum bring arts awareness to Ballantyne. Classes will be offered through the summer. A weeklong arts festival is planned at Morrison for early October, Crowley said. He's also the senior arts instructor at Morrison, in addition to serving on the Arts and Science Council board as the Ballantyne representative.

2006 Harley-Davidson VRSCD Night Rod
Great little hot rod!
The seat is not designed for the long haul.
Don't leave foot under shifter when cornering, as you will drag your toes!
Saddle bags are too small, will barely hold a man's large leather jacket.
Gas mileage is much lower than factory specs! Averages about 27 on the highway, and lower in city driving.
Aluminum wheels pain to polish. Mothers makes them look chrome, but takes lots of work.
General Comments:
Fun bike. Too low to really corner well.
The seat is not good for long rides, but the two sets of foot pegs are necessary if doing over 500 miles a day. They let you shift weight and pressure points during a long ride.
I put on CFR pipes, Power Commander, high flow filter, saddle bags, LED signal lights and tail lights with Kuryakn strobe controller in brake lights with LED brake light. Great brakes!
Still have my FLHTC, makes a good team. Overall, it's a great bike; very fast, handles well and is very predictable.
Pipes and other modifications improved performance, especially acceleration, and love the sound. The short pipe improves its looks; making the bike look lower and longer. Great engine!
Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes

Wheelchair dancing continues to increase in popularity around the globe and is now recognized as an official international paralympic sport.
With a growing number of dance centers and organizations that cater to those who are physically challenged, wheelchair users can learn to dance socially or competitively – and actively participate in their favorite dance styles. These include square dancing, line dancing, ballet, jazz, Latin American, and traditional ballroom dancing.
In addition to dancing centers that exclusively cater to individuals who use wheelchairs, an ever-growing number of organizations, such as takelessons.com, specialize in teaching the art and sport of dance to able-bodied individuals, as well as people with physical challenges.
In more than 40 countries, people of all ages and physical abilities participate in dance activities with their manual or power mobility chairs.
There are four ways in which to dance:
In addition to the enjoyment derived from dance lessons, participation and competition, wheel chair dancing – like other forms of dancing – can provide benefits both physically and mentally.
Wheelchair users have said they feel more inspired and confident from regular dance involvement. Some people suggest that dancing has enabled them to require less physical therapy because of the exercise they get during practice and performances.
The sport is governed by International Dance Sport Federation rules, as modified by the International Paralympic Committee.
These rules outline the floor size, dance forms, music tempo and duration, number of couples who may compete, and costumes. Several rounds of competition are conducted, based on the particular event, and dance performances are evaluated by five to seven expert judges.

Emkay Global Financial Services has maintained `Buy` on Godawari Power & Ispat with a price target of Rs 133 as against the current market price (CMP) of Rs 105 in its report dated Jan. 24, 2012. The broking house gave the following rationale:
Better realizations lifted the topline; iron ore mining declined:
While realizations maintained strength on a QoQ basis for all, production volumes improved significantly for fewer product categories. Pellets and sponge iron realizations improved 11% and 8% respectively. Production of steel billets, Ferro alloys and power grew by 61%, 62% and 12% respectively on a QoQ basis, however, iron ore mining declined by 58% due to extended monsoon and logistic issues. While, sales volume of billets, pellets and H. B. Wires increased by 65%, 45% and 18% respectively on a QoQ basis, other products saw a decline in the range of 9% -51% with the highest decline witnessed in Ferro Alloys (-51%) and sponge iron (-34%) primarily due to softening prices and higher captive consumption respectively. We expect better capacity utilization going forward, as issues related to mining has been resolved now and prices are likely to remain stable.
Expenses continue to be a concern:
As we anticipated, raw material expenses surprised negatively with a 260 bps increase on a QoQ basis and weighed heavy on margins. This was primarily due to higher purchasing of trading goods, mainly iron ore. Also employee expenses and other expenses continued to remain elevated putting further pressure on the margins. The consolidated EBITDA margin as a result declined 63 bps to 11.6% during the quarter. Performance of Hira Ferro Alloys and Ardent Steel remained subdued Pellet production in Ardent Steel fell 3% on QoQ basis with sales down by 9% for the same period. This was partially offset by ~6% QoQ improvement in realizations. Poor demand for ferro alloys in the region pulled down sales volume at Hira Ferro alloys by 35% QoQ. Higher power sales (up 42% QoQ) however gave some respite. Despite this topline grew by 27% QoQ mainly due to 5 fold increase trading purchases. HFL thus reported a net loss of Rs 4 million during Q3FY12.
Valuation attractive; maintain Buy:
At the CMP of RS 105, the stock is discounting its FY13E EPS by 3.3x and is trading at 4.3x FY13E EV/ EBITDA. At P/ BV the stock is available at 0.4x. We believe the valuations are attractive factoring in the concerns and opportunities. Due to uncertainties in the sector related to regulatory issues, we value the stock at 4.5xFY13 EV/ EBITDA. We revise our target price to Rs 133/ share. Maintain Buy.

Pravastatin compared to lipitor
Common Questions and Answers about Pravastatin compared to lipitor
My doctor prescribed the generic
as a more afordable alternative
atorvastatin but also doubled the amount I take (from 20 mg of atorvastatin to 40 mg of pravastatin). Should I be concerned about the effectiveness of pravastatin?

In your opinion is one statin as good as another? (ie mevachor, zocor,
etc.) or are there specific instances when one would be better than the other? Also, in your opinion do you regularly prescribe brand name statins, or are generic just the same. Thank you.

The group taking red yeast rice experienced an average drop in cholesterol of 43 points in a mere 12 weeks
just 11 points in the placebo group. Other research in China, which has been published in the American Journal of Cardiology and other scientific journals, has found that red yeast rice significantly reduces rates of heart attacks and deaths from heart disease.

and now that is gone. I have
go on a low fat diet and increase exercise! AS you know,
is not indicated for people with liver disease...so I'm going to have to do it I guess. Low fat? After doing treatment and becoming so used to ice cream and things like that it's going to be torture! I was wondering if anybody else had their cholesterol go up after treatment? If it was an after tx complication or just that I'm getting not so young anymore and would have happened anyway?

2 This was a single center, randomized clinical trial of 161 patients with mean age of 60 years and 46% with known cardiovascular disease. The effects of atorvastatin 80 mg/d and
40 mg/d on CIMT were
. Baseline CIMT and other characteristics were similar in both groups. After 12 months of follow up it was found that the LDL-C was around 76 +/- 23 and 110 +/- 30 mg/dl in the atorvastatin and pravastatin group respectively. There was a regression in the CIMT of –0.034+/-0.

The lipid modification effects appeared
be similar
, simvastatin, lovastatin, atorvastatin, or fluvastatin.
with non-statin lipid lowering agents, RYR preparations appeared superior to nicotinate and fish oils, but equal to or less effective than fenofibrate and gemfibrozil. No significant difference in lipid profile was found between Xuezhikang and Zhibituo.

That is rather exciting, as it makes statins safe
take during SOC. If one is able
get a doc
prescribe fluvastatin on top of SOC..makes sense to me that that also increases one's chances. As well, if one is wanting to lower viral load prior to treatment, seems fluvastatin is a good option. I really want to know more about this. Gawd, I need more hours in a day.
