Committee on Chemical Safety
News & Announcements
Creating Safety Cultures in Academic Institutions
The report provides guidance, suggestions, examples, and recommendations that will help strengthen the safety culture in two- and four-year undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral programs. It identifies:
- Elements and best practices of a good safety culture
- Recommendations for use in universities and colleges
- Tools and resources to strengthen your safety culture
- Statement of CSB Chairperson Rafael Moure-Eraso "Warning Against Use of Methanol During Laboratory" mentions ACS Committee on Chemical Safety.
- The ACS Committee on Chemical Safety is delighted to learn about the new report from the prestigious National Academy of Sciences entitled Safe Science: Promoting a Culture of Safety in Academic Chemical Research. This report supports our own report on "Creating Safety Cultures in Academic Institutions". The NAS report calls for a shift from compliance toward a strong, positive safety culture. Recommendations call for strong leadership in safety from academic leaders and administrators, call for team and group efforts in safety, call for sharing lessons learned from incidents. We highly recommend this report.
- The ACS Committee on Professional Training (CPT) will be releasing new Guidelines for Undergraduate programs in early 2015. The new Guidelines will have "upgraded" safety requirements for undergraduate programs and their ACS-certified graduates that were partly influenced by feedback from the CCS. Also, the "Summer 2014 CPT Newsletter" contains an article about safety education. In this widely-distributed newsletter the CPT has devoted a relatively large footprint about safety, safety culture and safety instruction. This article aligns well with the CCS Task Force report on "Creating Safety Culture in Academic Institutions." This article was written by George Wilson from the CPT with considerable input from CCS member Dave Finster and CCS liaison John Palmer.
- Identifying and Evaluating Hazards in Research Laboratories
The Committee on Chemical Safety has released the draft of the guide on "Identifying and Evaluating Hazards in Research Laboratories." These guidelines were developed in response to the Chemical Safety Board recommendation to develop good practice guidance that identifies and describes methodologies to assess and control hazards and that can be used successfully in research laboratories.
- Laboratory Waste Management Guidebook, 2nd edition, release
Written by a group of experts in the field and compiles everything laboratory staff needs to know about waste management.
- Chemical Laboratory Safety and Security: A Guide to Prudent Chemical Management
This publication and accompanying tool kit will assist chemists in developing countries to increase the level of lab safety and security through chemicals management and best laboratory practices.
- Task Force for Safety Education Guidelines. The Committee on Chemical Safety (CCS) has formed the new Task Force for Safety Education Guidelines (TFSEG). We have included partners that have a significant role in chemistry education to help produce reports and guidelines that will be valued in the chemistry community.
- Safety in the Academic Chemistry Laboratory now available in Arabic!
The committee is pleased to offer the Arabic translation of Safety in the Academic Chemistry Laboratory. We extend a special thanks to Akram Amir El-Ali, Department of Chemistry at Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah, Saudi Arabia for translating and adopting SACL into Arabic language.
- Chemical Safety Blog!
The Safety Zone blog covers chemical safety issues in academic and industrial research labs and manufacturing. The blog is a place for exchange and discussion of lab and plant safety and accident information.
- Laboratory Safety Quiz
Now available!
Welcome to the Committee on Chemical Safety (CCS)! CCS promotes and facilitates safe practices in chemical activities. We provide advice and counsel to ensure safety by calling attention to potential hazards and stimulating education in safe chemical practices. CCS also serves as a resource to other ACS units on matters related to chemical safety and health.
Here you will find publications, tips, and other information to improve safety in schools, the workplace, and beyond.

text: Hunting the Anthrax Killer After 9/11, anthrax-laced letters were mailed to major media companies and prominent U.S. senators. In total, the letters killed five people and sickened 17 others, making it the worst bioterrorism attack the United States has ever seen. After a seven-year manhunt, the FBI concludes that a government biodefense researcher, Bruce E. Ivins, was responsible for the anthrax mailings. Shortly after, Ivins committed suicide.

There are signs that South Asia, long the least integrated of the world's regions, is beginning to see the advantages of greater regional cooperation and openness to trade. Deals are being signed to build power transmission lines across borders, and Pakistan has even granted most-favored-nation status to its neighbor India.
These and other exciting recent developments will be the focus of a roundtable discussion on Thursday, April 19, during the World Bank Group-IMF spring meetings. Titled "Breaking Down Barriers: A New Dawn in Trade and Regional Cooperation in South Asia," the event will bring together representatives of think tanks, civil society, and the media from across the region.
Why now? Why are South Asia's disparate countries, which share so much in terms of culture and yet have such a long history of conflict and discord, coming together?
"There's been talk of cooperation in the region for at least 15 years," noted Kalpana Kochhar (right), the World Bank's chief economist for South Asia. "But in practice, not much progress was made until about two years ago, when you started to see much more significant movement," between India on the one hand and Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan on the other.
Kochhar says there are several possible explanations for the recent developments:
Poverty in South Asia is concentrated in the so-called "lagging regions," which tend to be landlocked and near country borders. "If you connect these lagging regions across borders, they can benefit from trade," Kochhar said, and this will help make a significant dent in poverty levels.
Salman Zaheer, program director for South Asia regional integration, added: "Expanding regional trade from the current low level of about 5 percent of total trade to the levels of East Asia (about 40 percent) can potentially boost South Asia's incomes by 2 to 3 percentage points, create more and better jobs for the 1 million young people entering the work force each month, relieve energy shortages which have hamstrung businesses and social development in all of the countries, and re-position South Asia as a reliable land bridge between Europe and the rest of Asia. "
Barriers to trade include not only long-standing political disputes and tariffs, but also non-tariff regulations ranging from import limits or overly stringent sanitary regulations, Kochhar said.
"Those kinds of barriers are actually very difficult to deal with because they're not documented anywhere; they just take place by practice," she said. But as a result of Pakistan granting most-favored-nation status to India late last year, India has agreed to examine its non-tariff barriers, "a development, which we find very encouraging," Kochhar added.
Zaheer called "the prevailing dominant mindset of suspicion and distrust" one of the most significant barriers to cooperation in South Asia, manifesting in the low levels of economic relations among the countries as well as the low level of people-to-people contact and a heavy emphasis on security and territorial issues.
"On the positive side, a shared sense of culture and history offers much of the promise for changing the dominant mindset," he added. "Over the last 12-18 months, countries have accelerated their efforts to foster cultural and people-to-people exchanges and to reduce trade barriers, while continuing parallel efforts to diffuse security threats and resolve territorial disputes."
In response, the World Bank is stepping up its knowledge and analytical work in the region, trying to quantify the benefits of cooperation and the costs of not cooperating. In addition, the Bank is keeping alert for opportunities to invest funding and expertise in transport and power infrastructure, biodiversity and environmental initiatives, and other areas.
"We basically are standing ready and able to assist these countries when they ask us," Kochhar said.
One good example is a power transmission line between India and Nepal, which the Bank's Board approved last year. At first the line will carry power from India to Nepal, but in the future it may be a vehicle for making use of Nepal's huge hydroelectric potential, Kochhar said.
This week's panel will include members from Nepal, Pakistan, and India, as well as a former U.S. ambassador to Sri Lanka. In addition to Kochhar, the panelists are (pictured left to right):
"Our purpose in putting this together was to highlight first that there is movement happening, and second that there are huge opportunities," Kochhar said. With such a diverse range of voices, "you're going to get a real, rich flavor of what's going on in the region."
World Bank Vice President for South Asia Isabel Guerrero will introduce the panel, which will be moderated by prominent Indian TV journalist Barkha Dutt (right).
"Dutt is well-known on Indian television to be a provocative moderator, so we're looking forward to a lively session," Kochhar said.
The roundtable will be Thursday, April 19 from 3 to 4:30 p.m. in the World Bank's I Building, 1850 I (Eye) St. NW, Room 1-220. Attendees from outside the World Bank Group or IMF must RSVP by Wednesday, April 18 to gain access to the building. The event will be live-Tweeted on Twitter at #wbcooperate. Follow us on Twitter.

Posts tagged: Hecla
The U.S. Attorney's office for Idaho posted its biggest collection ever today, when Hecla Mining Co. paid $77.5 million as part of a settlement involving the Bunker Hill Superfund site in North Idaho. The settlement was announced by the U.S. Department of Justice in June; in it, Hecla agreed to pay $263.4 million plus interest to the United States, the Coeur d'Alene Tribe, and the state of Idaho. The settlement is to pay for cleanup of mining contamination in the Coeur d'Alene Basin.
Payments already have been made to the tribe and the state; Hecla is scheduled to pay another $43.3 million to the federal government by August of 2014. "This historic recovery to resolve one of the largest cases ever filed under the Superfund statute compensates the United States for more than three decades of clean-up efforts," said U.S. Attorney Wendy Olson, "and establishes a strong basis for future cooperation between Hecla Mining Company, the tribe, the state, and the federal government."

Fountain Hills
Inn at Eagle Mountain
9800 N. Summer Hill Blvd
Fountain Hills, AZ, United States
Fountain Hills, AZ, United States
Though Arizona's Fountain Hills suburb is less familiar to travelers than the Phoenix/Scottsdale area 17 miles to the southwest, the Inn at Eagle Mountain delivers a golf experience that rivals the city's well-known resorts. And golf is absolutely the reason you'll stay at the hotel: Upon arrival, khaki-clad travelers can drop their luggage in one of 43 Santa Fe–style suites and head out onto their private balcony to survey the 18th hole of the resort's Scott Miller–designed Eagle Mountain course. Rated among the nation's top 50 public courses by Golf World readers, this challenging par 71 wends 6,800 yards through the desert scenery of box canyons and saguaro cacti. There's also an outdoor pool and hiking trails in nearby McDowell Mountain Regional Park. The Grille at Eagle Mountain is great for breakfast or lunch but is closed at dinner, so you'll have a reason to head to Scottsdale and experience the city's restaurant scene. But don't be surprised if you're relieved to be back in the desert post-dessert, cozying up to the kiva-style gas fireplace as you watch the sun set.
Room to Book:Of the six themed suites, the most unique is Prairie, which was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West, located just up the road from the hotel.
Insider Tip:The hotel can snag you preferred tee times at many of the area's other famous golf courses. Call up to 90 days before your arrival.

The more features the camera offers, the harder it will be to figure it out. This helps enhance the contrast ratio and offsets the subject from the background. The K20D can shoot in two photo formats – JPEG and RAW. The 600D uses the same 18-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor as the professional EOS 7D as well as the DIGIC 4 processing engine. The buttons on this new series is complete with tags.
The Automobile Concentrate has a 9point CMOS sensor in place of 19 level sensor such as the 50D and 7D. HD video in 16:9 is also a greater match for your new display screen with thinner black bars over and under. The L series of Nikon Digital Cameras have a high-quality design and are constructed in a way that they are user friendly and affordable in price. The Photographers can adjust the focus of these cameras manually as well as automatically. The G1X offers many features normally found on the larger DSLR's in a much smaller package.
The hybrid camera is true to its name as a combination of point-and-shoot and DSLR cameras (DSLR: Digital Single Lens Reflex), sometimes referred to as compact system cameras. These industrial remote are also designed with a novel 56 bit ID codes that are appointed between the hand-held and therefore the machine controller. The classic case where you need fill flash is when your subject is backlit by the sun. Top-of-the-range, high definition videocams can cost in excess of $3000 to buy. Many factors, such as exercise, conversation, alcohol, stress, movement, food or smoking can cause your blood pressure to rise and fall temporarily.
The camera is small easy to hold, while at the same time feeling sturdy and robust. Therefore, you will want to start looking at some of the entry-level digital SLR models including the Canon Rebel XSi and the Nikon D60. When the camcorder was in its prime, it cost upwards of $799. Including some of the cameras, which cost a good deal more. Also, there is improved EOS movie mode with expanded recording and manual exposure control.
" These cameras can be really useful if they are handed properly. The increments are big so it takes no time at all to do it. These are just three simple tips that can get you started on your way to taking better kitten photos. Another great basic DSLR camera is the Canon EOS Rebel T1i. This single reflex unit allows the user to produce quality images from pressing the button till it comes out when it has been developed.

Primary school pupils from across South Norfolk take part in an Olympic Festival at the Sportspark after starting the day with an opening ceremony parading country flags. Photo by Simon Finlay
Kate Scotter
Monday, July 9, 2012
Happy, smiling faces filled a city sports centre as lasting memories were made with a day of Olympic-themed sport and cultural activities.
More than 800 pupils from schools across south Norfolk took part in the first day of an Olympic Festival held at the Sportspark at the University of East Anglia today (Monday).
The event saw five and six year olds dress up in the colours of different Olympic nations and wave flags and banners as they paraded around the athletics track for the opening ceremony.
They then took part in a carousel of 21 different sports including volleyball, javelin, shot put, tri golf and rhythmic gymnastics.
Organiser Vanessa Boon, from the South Norfolk School Sport Partnership, said: "In this exciting year of sport we wanted to offer as many young Olympians in south Norfolk as possible the opportunity to be part of a spectacular event at one of the largest athletics venues in the county and hopefully give them some happy lasting memories of 2012.
"They all loved doing the parade. We wanted it to be about culture and sport for all abilities rather than elite competition and all the children have been running around, smiling and the sun has come out."
Thirty-seven primary schools have been involved in the two-day event, which continues tomorrow (Tuesday) for children aged seven and eight.
Schools which have taken part include those in Trowse, Wymondham, Spooner Row, Seething, Loddon and Tacolneston.
It was also supported by more than 300 sports leaders from nine high schools across south Norfolk, including Framingham Earl.
The build-up to the festival started in January with three cultural competitions in design, poetry and song.
Certificates designed by the winners were handed out to every pupil at the closing ceremony, during which the winning song was played.
The closing ceremony also saw all 800 pupils perform the official Olympic mascot dance.
"We've had a wide range of schools from small village schools like one in Eccles which brought just nine pupils to bigger schools like Diss Infant which has brought 30 children," said Ms Boon.
"We wanted all the schools in south Norfolk to bring a class, get them involved, have some fun and join in the festival. Hopefully we've given them all a day to remember."

To all, we are currently undergoing a change on our back-end system thatports the webpages and emails to server 2013. All hosted e-mails have been successfully moved over.
All web pages over the course of the next two months will be tested on the new enhanced server and once proven to be operating as designed we will then port over to the new sever, thus providing better performance and increased security.
All sites will remain as they have been during normal working hours, testing will be performed after normal business hours and only on the new server, not the existing server. This is our plan taking into consideration the minimum amount of disruption to all.
We anticipate the move to the new more secure and powerful 2013 server is scheduled for completion in later January 2015. As we all know upgrades and conversion are necessary to maintain the utmost security and consistent performance

Not. Cool.
Still my belly, not yours.
The few people I let touch are family or close. And don't think I don't notice the subtle "I'm trying to get the baby to move," tricks. 1) they aren't subtle 2) you know that's me, right? That you aren't pushing the kid?
Super not cool when you are driving. The ownership thing people seem to have over your bump/your baby is mind boggling. I've been really lucky so far, but probably because I freaked out about it early on. If they don't stop after "please stop," then the language shifts to "back off," and can quickly descend into profanity. In all fairness, I really try to say "please" several times.... Best of luck, friend
I go by the general rule that if you could touch me before you could touch me now but I still appreciate the courtesy of you asking. With that being said, I still get creeped out by anyone touching my stomach other than DH.
This time next week I will get to see all of DH's side of the family during vacation (we are all spread out across two continents) and I fear my MIL will do the same thing. In the meantime, I have been trying to figure out ways to be evasive.
My mom, husband, and MIL touch my belly freely whenever they want. Everyone else asks before they do it or don't ask at all. I've always said yes, because saying no would feel even more awkward!
I guess I have had one unwanted touching experience. MH's uncle, who I have met twice, kept caressing my belly when I was only 20 weeks pregnant and had barely a bump. He just loves babies and is a super emotional person, so I shrugged it off.

Skoll Entrepreneur(s): William Foote
Award Year: 2005
Focus Area(s) Addressed: Smallholder Productivity and Food Security
(Click here to print)
Root Capital
Skoll Entrepreneur(s): William Foote
William Foote was an investment banker during the Latin American growth years of the early 1990s. After the 1994 peso devaluation in Mexico, he spent 2 years in the rural areas of that country, studying and writing about the financial crisis and its effects on people and the environment. He realized that farmers could adopt sustainable practices only if they had resources to sustain themselves during transition periods and could acquire skills, equipment and market knowledge to launch a viable new enterprise. They needed more than microcredit, but were still too small to be bankable by commercial lenders. This realization inspired him to develop a lending model to meet those needs.
- Root received the British government's Department for International Development (DFID) special award for achievement in impact investing.
- In the first three quarters of 2013, Root provided a total of $82.8 million in financing to 182 small and growing agricultural businesses, reached 470,000 small holder farmers and artisans, and trained 280 enterprises to build skills in key competencies like accounting, financial planning and risk management.
- On March 28, 2013, Root hit a major milestone, topping $500 million in cumulative lending to more than 425 small and growing businesses providing some 750,000 small-scale farm families (3 million individuals) with better livelihoods in poor, environmentally vulnerable locations in Africa and Latin America.
- In Jan. 2013, FC, a member of the World Bank Group, and the private sector window of the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP) invested $5 million each in Root Capital to help expand access to working capital and markets for 300,000 farmers over the next four years.
- Through their Lending program and Financial Advisory Services, Root Capital strengthens rural small and growing businesses.

However if you're performing very specific tasks or processing batch edits you may find it quicker to work in one of the other two spaces. Homemade Body Whitening Remedies also the Manage (or Organizer) functions are now available in every workspace. This should be a welcome relief to X3 users who hated moving back and forth between the Organizer and Edit work areas just to search for a particular photo.
Exposed Homemade Body Whitening Remedies Skin Care Review Get Small Doses of SunOne way that you can work on banishing acne problems for good is to get small doses of sun. You need to get some fresh air and the Vitamin D from the sun is great for skin that is healthy. Without the Vitamin D your skin won't be as healthy.
If you're already running another version of PaintShop Pro you won't even have to uninstall it ' X4 will run concurrently. Right now I have both X3 and X4 installed and I haven't experienced any problems. In fact there have been a few times that I've had both open at the same time. (I definitely don't recommend that though!) I personally like X3 and it generally takes me a bit of time to migrate over to a new version of a product ' especially when that new release includes a pretty substantial interface design like X4 does. However I already find myself using X4 as my standard photo editing application and I'll probably be uninstalling X3 quite soon.
This allowed him access to the stern where he could have potentially planted a bomb. However in order for him to have placed the flashbulb explosive where the spark is believed to have originated Späh would have had to make use of his acrobatic skills and move up to a catwalk:
Among the other skin lightening products tested by the Tribune the highest amounts of mercury were found in a product called Stillman's how to get rid of brown age spots on face Skin Bleach Cream. Other products wereTop-Gel MCA Extra Pearl Cream asian skin bleaching which skin lightening products work best for asian skin Creme Diana CTR Ling Ji Su Lulanjina and Shabright Clear and Bright Skin choose the best skin lightening product wisely Formula. A number of common skin care products tested by the Tribune contained no mercury at all. Several doctors who were contacted by the Tribune said that anyone who wants a safe skin lightening product can get one by prescription.
The spots on the skin are caused by melanin a naturally occurring coloring pigment in the skin. Melanin is produced by the skin in response to sunlight falling on the skin. Melanin offers protection against the harmful radiations present in sunlight but also makes the skin look darker. Lustra is a skin lightening solution that uses hydroquinone to lighten the skin color. Hydroquinone works by inhibiting the action of melanin. It works in two ways first it decreases the production of melanin.
The Before preview is a photo my Homemade Body Whitening Remedies src='http://www.howtolightenskinnaturally.net/wp-content/uploads/images/skin-lightening-milk-bath.jpg' alt='Homemade Body Whitening Remedies'> mother took of three kittens on her front walkway. Because of the shadows it's almost Homemade Body Whitening Remedies impossible to see the tiny third kitten poking his head out from under the porch ' and really I think that's the best part of the photo! If you try to use a basic brightening tool the light would wash out the rest of the image when all we really want to do is brighten the shadow that's obscuring that little kitten head. With the Fill Light/Clarity filter it only takes a few seconds to edit the photo so that the third kitten is more visible.
Continued use will help in removing all dark spots. It helps the skin to regain the original color. You can use it safely no matter what your age is.
Apply moisturizers roughly 5 to 10 minutes after having the bleaching cream on your skin. 3. Apply sun block when going out.
While I really do like this new streamlined design I find that moving from one workspace to another sometimes results in a bit of choppiness during the transition. However that choppiness only lasts for a split second ' and the transition is much faster than it was between workspaces in X3. As mentioned before the Manage Workspace is really the same as the Organizer that was introduced in PaintShop Pro X3. The Organizer caused a bit of controversy within the PaintShop Pro community since many felt that its introduction actually diminished their productivity.
All kinds of skin lightening cream are obtainable in the market. You can see there prescribed to organic whitening creams. But before you think of purchasing a skin lightening cream you should first read about the side effects of utilizing these skin whitening cream so that you can make an knowledgeable choice as to what type of cream is best appropriate for you.
These creams reduce melanin from your skin to make it appear lighter. The products which have quality ingredients will have no side effects on your skin. Look for the skin whitening creams which possess natural extracts and vegetable oils.
The Tribune's investigation found that products are easy to find nonetheless. The FDA told the Tribune that it has fewer than 500 inspectors who can investigate imported products making it possible for some products to avoid testing . The Tribune sent 50 skin cream samples to an independent lab for testing.
If you want something to work you need to give it the best possible chance of working and that doesn't mean over- or under-applying. 3. Guaranteed effects Many skin bleaching cream products will actually put their money where their mouth is with regard to the way they work.

The only thing that this RPG does WRONG, is that it borrows from every past good-RPG ever made. Is that bad? I don't think so, but it does lend a familiarity to the game. The closest game I can compare it to would probably be FF VII. Althouhg it borrows liberally from other RPG gems.

Despite the old tradition turn-based battle system, this game feel as much enjoyable as any other good games :) The game looks pretty good as well. The adventure is enjoyable and the characters are all unique (battle and personality wise). The battle system is what i like most about this game. You have individual skill attacks and combine attacks (kind of like wild arms 5 but better..)There are one of the point that seem to be a problem with xseed published games, the lack of money. It's hard to earn a lot of money despite after going through a lot of battles (i guess the equipments are kind of expensive to afford). Despite some minor problems (not worth mentioned) and the money issue.. this game really help bring the enjoyment of playing video games again, especially after playing a lot of lame games recent. This game is definately worth the rental, i'll buy it too but when it's $20 :)

Story is pretty good as well. There are unity attacks that are different depending on the characters currently in the party, Chrono Trigger anyone? The game was a breath of fresh air and great rent. Best traditional RPG I have played in a while.
The voice acting is not bad in my opinion, although the dialog can be very childish at times. Music is better than most psp games out right now as well. If your a fan of Chrono Trigger I recommend highly.

Fun romp through a nice world

The story is basic, you are a boy that has to travel to an alternate universe to try and save your friend. While you play through the game, you have a chance to unveil more revealing parts of the story as well as visiting your ailing friend in the real world. The story is a bit simplistic but engaging and has the character support to really be enjoyable.
Battle in the game is basic; attacking, using items, using magic abilities and unity attacks. The attacks grow with each formation that you have, so if you want to have more unity attacks, you need to constantly rotate your characters in and out.
Puzzles are nice to work with; nothing over the top but nothing so simplistic that makes you feel idiotic. Sidequests come late in the game so you have to stay with it if you are into your sidequest action.
The real side game is the goalfinch collecting. You catch and raise these critters to fight other people inside of each dungeon, allowing you to get items when you trade in your unwanted birds, etc. It is fun to start off with but feels a little stitched on. More opportunity to explore this later in the game so that is another thing to look for.
All in all, this is a great game for this little machine. Not so long that you have to constantly keep your PSP plugged in but addictive enough to try and get this done ASAP so you can enjoy it all over again.

This game rewards slow loitering, and as long as one fight one hour before each new town, it isn't too hard. Also, going back to visit every character may trigger side quests and extra boosts to the characters.
One thing so simple and so good that it should be in every rpg, is about half way through the game when the skill "Stealth" is given to the main character, which allows the party to walk without being harassed by random encounters every 5 seconds, in an area where the monsters are too weak.
Even when the game is beaten, save it and continue to fight the same monsters, which will be more powerful and have better drops when "crazed" while riding a dragon's back (Call the dragon while in battle, which makes all special moves free for 3 turns)

Refreshing in it's simplicity

First off, BS looks really good on the psp's screen, i'd go as far as to say it's one of the best looking games i've played on the handheld with great effects and detailed character models and environments. Load times are thankfully short in every aspect from going into and out of the random battles and entering and exiting buildings/areas.
The battle system is as simplistic as you can get, it's basicaly a three member party turn-based battle system. You have the standard attack and special ability options and you also have something called Unity attacks which, depending on your active party members, allows you to do combination attacks with the other members of your party, which brings back fond memories of Chrono Trigger. Your characters will actually level up mid-battle as well which is a welcome addition.
The world is based on an anime series in japan but you play another character outside of the anime's story. The story is your standard "boy goes on adventure to save friend" sort of affair but the characters are actually likeable and even the half-cat girl doesn't get too annoying. The writing has it's moments and the music does the job but it is nothing spectacular.
I would suggest this game for any rpg fans or anyone interested in the genre. It doesn't really do anything new or groundbreaking but it is a charming little game with a fair difficulty curve that doesn't require a whole lot of grinding. It's an A in my book.
Great game

This game i remember came out the same day as "Tales of the World Radiant Mythology" And i had a dilima of which two to pick and i'm glad I bought Tales of the world...cuz Brave Story is very dry in story-line and very linear...
The graphics are awesome on Brave story, yet the world maps and dungeons get really annoying after a while... And one bummer is that there's not a lot of voice acting thats no fun....Voice acting at least keep u awake...like 4 tales of the world and final fantasy...
This game i think tries too hard to be different from final fantasy, yet this made the game worse.
I don't like comparing games from others yet this game was too much like other games with the same plot which gets boring after the first hour..
And i have nothing positive about it, except that the graphics look good. anything else it's a disappointment..:(
Which means I pronounce this game an "EPIC FAIL" !!!!!!!
P.s. Sony please stop b.s.ing and make better games that r at least FUN. ok??? Please cuz i'm one stop from buying a DS, which is whooping u guys bad in sales.. So, make the games more fun!!!!

For those of you who haven't yet heard of Priority Club, it's the rewards program of the IC Hotels Group, which includes brands such as the Intercontinental, the Holiday Inn, Staybridge Suites, Candlewood Suites, Hotel Indigo, and Crowne Plaza. Many of these properties can exceed the $200/night mark, and most always you'll find them over $100 at the very least.
Luckily, Priority Club offers "PointBreaks" - a list of hotels updated every 2-3 months that are available for a mere 5,000 points (which can be purchased for as low as $11.50 - $13.50 per 1,000 points, depending on the size of your order, or earned through stays). This can provide some steep discounts when compared to the actual booking rates through its website or through sites like Expedia.
Canadians are especially in luck - a mere 750 AirMiles Reward Miles (which literally every Canadian has) nets you 10,000 Priority Club points - enough for 2 free nights! This is by far the BEST way to redeem your AirMiles, Canucks.
Here's the best (in my humble opinion) of the offerings this time around. This is just a small slice - others may be of interest to you. Check out the entire list, here.
Note that the Crowne Plaza Champs Elysees (next to the Arc de Triomphe!) can be had as low as $57.50 through this promotion. This hotel retails for $277 Euros (around $350 per night) on their website - so it's quite a savings! That is, if there is availability for when you will travel - these won't last long.

Looks like they've raised the price! I didn't bother to check this, as I assumed it was still 1 cent per point, but I guess not. Still, its an incredible deal, even if the prices have been marginally increased.

- sex
- relationships
- pregnancy
- contraception
- drugs and alcohol, or
- feeling down.
Sometimes health workers do need to share information about you to give you good care.
- They may share information about you with other health workers who are looking after you – for example, health workers at a hospital or clinic if you have agreed to go there.
- This is to make your care safer, easier and faster.
- They will only share information that is needed to give you the best care.
- If there are particular things that you don't want to be shared, tell your health worker.
- If they think you are at risk of serious harm or you are in danger, they may have to tell another adult about it to be able to help you. But even then, they should tell you they are going to do this and explain who they will tell and why.
- Sometimes the law allows the health service to share information about you without you agreeing to it. This would only happen in very serious situations – for example, if you have an illness that puts other people at risk, such as meningitis.

Literacy progress has stalled, Ofsted's chief inspector says
England is being overtaken by other leading nations because progress on literacy has stalled, according to chief schools inspector Sir Michael Wilshaw.
Reading standards had not improved since 2005, he said, and one in five 11-year-olds did not make the grade.
In a speech, he called for primary school targets to be raised, saying: "Our standards should be higher."
Teaching unions say big improvements have been made in the past two decades.
They have accused Ofsted and the government of "playing fast and loose with international data".Employment prospects
Sir Michael, who took over the chief inspector's role in January, told BBC Newsnight that standards in literacy and reading went up between 1995 and 2005.
But he added: "Since then, standards have stalled and other nations have been doing better than us."
Sir Michael said one in five children - about 100,000 - were not reaching the standard expected (level 4) at the end of primary school every year.
And even those who did make that grade had no guarantee of going on to get a good GCSE pass in English, he said.
In a speech in London, he said international comparisons of literacy showed "a worrying picture", and that some countries had improved faster than England - namely Japan, the Netherlands, Belgium and Norway.
The latest Programme for International Student Assessment survey, in 2009, showed the UK had slipped to joint 23rd place in a global assessment of literacy, he said.
Sir Michael said the secret to boosting children's reading and writing abilities - and their overall academic performance - lay in getting things right when they were young.
"Our main concern is that too many pupils fall behind in their literacy early on. In most cases, if they can't read securely at seven they struggle to catch up as they progress through their school career," he said.
"Without reading and writing skills they find it difficult to access the curriculum and achieve well in their examinations.
"As a result, too many young adults lack the functional skills to make their way in the modern world. They are more likely to be unemployed, unwell, in prison, or supported by the state."Reading age
Sir Michael has set out a plan to raise national standards in literacy in England.
Addressing leading head teachers and literacy experts, he questioned whether the present target for 11-year-olds was challenging enough to help prepare them for secondary school.
He also said parents should be told their child's reading age as well as how they were doing against national targets.
Sir Michael took up the role of chief inspector in January and changes have been coming thick and fast, including "no notice inspections" and schools being told they won't be judged outstanding unless teaching is top class.
The former academy head says he wants a "no excuses" culture; that although improvements have been made, England has "tolerated mediocrity" for too long and radical changes are needed. It's a view he shares with Education Secretary Michael Gove, who appointed him.
Literacy is seen as the cornerstone of a good education and the one in five who do not make the grade at 11 do not normally do well academically at 16, so few would argue with the need to help them do better. Raising the bar for all children at that age - which Sir Michael is now suggesting - will be more hotly debated.
With more schools becoming academies with greater freedoms, the government sees a stronger Ofsted as a way of making sure schools stay on track, but some say too much prescription will hold back improvements.
Ofsted, he said, would focus "more sharply" on literacy in its inspections, and on phonics training for new teachers.
The government believes a stronger emphasis on phonics will improve literacy levels.
This is a method of teaching children to read by teaching them the sounds of letters and groups of letters.
Chris Keates, the general secretary of the NASUWT teaching union, said "the critical importance of pupils' educational achievement" was "beyond dispute".
But she said the proportion of children achieving the expected level at age 11 and at GCSE level had risen since the mid-1990s.
"Ofsted is right to monitor provision in this vital subject," she said.
"However, it is essential that it does so on an evidence basis, rather than picking and choosing information that seems to support a predetermined view."
Mary Bousted, from the Association of Teachers and Lecturers, said national tests were narrowing the curriculum.
"It may well be one of the major causes why children at primary school who've had an overemphasis on test items can't access the secondary curriculum."

Winter Break Vacation
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 05-08-2013 - 4:02pm
Anyone know of an interesting place to travel to on school vacation week between Christmas and New Years? Well known places like Disney end out being expensive because everyone goes there. Even flights are expensive.
It seems to me that there ought to be some nice, out of the way places where flights are available, that have interesting tourist sights and that have quality resorts. Is there a place near you? Have you been to or heard of a place?
It would be great to find great hospitality, good food and pleasant accomodations which allow plenty of time to visit with family but also have something the kids can enjoy and no one has to do the cooking.

I don't know how useful this is but a friend of mine loves to take her grandchildren to Great Wolf Lodge. It is a chain adn the quality may vary from location to location but she swears by the one shown here: http://www.greatwolf.com/sandusky/familyfun?utm_ It's a water park which caters to the kids and this one is close to another called Kalahari (which she said was OK, but not as good... http://www.kalahariresorts.com/oh/
Of course, between Christmas and New Year's HERE is pretty dodgy, weather-wise... it could be snowy, it might not be. One never knows...

Family of 6-my options
I was originally looking at a 5 night budget trip with myself, DH, DD8, DD6, DS3, DD 9 mos. The "budget trip" where we were all going to squeeze into POR is now turning into 6 nights at the Poly.
The cheapest option for a family of 5 plus an infant is POR. I'm not even worried about the sleeping arrangements, I'm more worried about the lack of space for all of our luggage and double stroller. Otherwise, the price is right, and the pool is fine.
So then I started looking into ASMu Suites. We would have more room, but then the kids wouldn't have a pool slide (we always stay at BC, but I don't think SAB will be feasible this trip, as we have an infant, plus it's just my husband and I...we aren't bringing a parent to help this time.) We also have never stayed value so I'm worried we will be disappointed.
Then I just happened to price out the Poly, and although that would take our "budget trip" to a whole other level, I now can't change my mind and want to stay here. We'd have plenty more space than at POR, we could take the monorail to Epcot and MK, as to not have to fold up a double stroller to get to all 4 parks, and we've been wanting to stay at the Poly for a while (but were going to wait until a big 2014 summer trip.) The pool would also be perfect for DH and I to be able to watch our older 2, while caring for our younger 2.
Will it really be that terrible in POR? Yeah, right? Will I be that disappointed in a value?
Will it even be hot enough to swim the second week of November, or should we stick with BC because it's a little cheaper than Poly?
I do not want to rent DVC points.
Lastly, we always have help on our trips from one of our mothers, and this time we will have 4 kids and no help...any insight?

I think your kids would LOVE a family suite at Art of Animation. I think they're much more fun that the music suites. You'd have more room - I'd check them out.
I think the only ones that will be disappointed are the adults if you go value over deluxe. I'd just figure out what's more important to you - amenities, or space. If you plan on going back to the room midday for the little one the Poly would be a great option for that. It's just all comparing such different things.
I personally think you'll be fine at a family suite. I do think it would be so packed in POR that you'd regret it and be miserable with that many people and that much luggage. Five people, maybe. Six? No way.

I think since you have a baby and you won't be able to stay in a single deluxe room again once your baby is 3 I would try and do that while you can. Some people get twitches thinking about having 6 in one room but the Poly rooms are pretty big.
POR might be tight even if you technically fit. If it comes down to a choice between POR and a family suite I would probably choose family suite between those two. The amenities of the moderate with POR just would not make up for the lack of space (for us). Now when you go to the deluxe and you start talking about the upgraded facilities and the transportation options then things change.
If you do decide to book a deluxe I would book one now but be flexible and think about changing resorts if/when discounts come out for your dates.

OK, so I guess I will rule out POR.
Now I am between Poly, BC, ASMu Suites, and AoA.
I did not mention that we are receiving a CM discount, which was why we decided to do a quick budget trip because the price was awesome.
We would still get a nice discount staying at the Poly, but now we are defeating the whole purpose of doing a budget trip.
However, if the extra money would mean we would be more comfortable in terms of: room, transportation, amentities, and dining choices it almost seems silly not to jump at the discount we will be receiving at the Poly.
I guess I almost feel bad, because when I first presented this trip to DH, it was at an unbelievably cheap price, that he would have been crazy to turn down. Now I'm turning it into more of a regular vacation, something we will actually have to start putting money away to save for...

AoA suites are wonderful, and the Big Blue pool is great even without a slide. I have stayed deluxe and in the past and my family loved our Cars suite. I think the extra space, kitchenette and 2nd bathroom is a nice perk. No matter where you stay, your kids will love it.

Okay, so not budget, but since you mentioned Poly, what about OKW or Saratoga? My fam of 5 is staying at BLT (def not cheap) because we need space. The youngest is 14 mo, and he needs a quiet place to sleep at night when the 9 and 5 yr old are still up.

If price is not that big of a deal, I would stay at the Poly. Love the location so close to the Magic Kingdom. Love being on the monorail line, and love the pool/beach area.
I love the All Star Music Suites too, but they would be quite a shock to kids used to the Beach Club. The pool is very plain, especially compared to Storm Along Bay. And you would have to ride the bus everywhere, no easy access to a park or two.
I guess what it comes down to is which is more important? Do you need to stick to a strict budget, or do you have some wiggle room in order to keep everyone in the style to which they have become accustomed?

If you have a CM discount Id go for the Poly. You will never get it for less.
If it ends up being too small you could switch for your 2014 trip without missing your Poly chance all together.

If you really want to keep it a "budget trip", I would pick AoA.
We stayed at AoA last November, and my kids loved the pool there. The splash area is right next to the pool, so even though there isn't a slide, there is plenty to keep the kids busy. If I remember correctly, even the playground was right in that central area. Our only main issue with AoA was that our room was so far away - but we stayed in 2 LM rooms because my mom stayed with us, and we didn't want to feel guilty about having a queen bed while she slept in a sofa bed or pulldown bed.
If you can afford the suite, I think you and the kids would be happy with the resort. We've never stayed at a deluxe, so I can't make a fair comparison, but it was a perfectly nice resort (despite the issues we had with mousekeeping, slow buses, and distance to our room.)
All that said, we personally are planning to stay at a deluxe next year because after 3 years of value resorts and relatively slow bus transportation, we are very interesting in being closer to the MK. We are leaning toward Poly because we're a family of 5.

Justin Bieber's new bulldog doesn't know about the monkey incident
By April Neale Dec 28, 2013, 2:40 GMT
Justin Bieber - "Justin Bieber\'s Believe" World Premiere - Arrivals - Regal Cinemas L.A. Live - Los Angeles, CA, USA © David Gabber / PRPhotos.com
The terror of Calabasas, Canadian transplant Justin Bieber may be licking some wounds over bad box office for his Belieber doc, but he has a new bulldog puppy to make him feel better.
During his travels to Europe, Justin Bieber ran into some problems in Germany. He had not obtained proper papers to bring his pet capuchin monkey into the country, so the monkey was put into quarantine. He subsequently left the monkey to the Germans.
So given that Bieber's monkey is speaking German now, a little bulldog has taken his place. While on his Christmas vacation in Canada, Justin Bieber bought himself a bulldog in a pet store.
According to E! News, Bieber was at the Ruffin's Pet Centre in Stratford, Ontario where he and his family adopted a seven-week year old American bulldog puppy.
Ruffin's told E! that Bieber and his family have bought pets from them before and are regulars of the store.
Bieber's dad posted a photo of him and the cute dog sleeping and then tweeted "So were gona let one lucky #belieber name @justinbieber s new puppy.... Follow and find out how it can be you ")" Get your names ready, Beliebers! Bieber also tweeted "Got a new pup"

Oh My, Loretta, that is a colourful pretty bird. It must be a St. Joseph Bird with the coat of many colours. ;) One of God's Creatures all great and small...:heart:
There is a really pretty bird that lives in the area where Gladys lives, too, has several colors............that one we could have a chance of seeing one day.
Do you have owls where you live in Toronto, Susan?
Doris, I am much further North of Toronto. I haven't seem any owls around here.
They must be here as there are many barns and such around. I did see several when DS lived in Florida and a pair of bald Eagles nesting high up in the trees at a large house nearby. We used to walk the dog by there just to see the Eagles.

Feeling good, but staying indoors mostly getting the family used to each other...looks like a stale-mate with the girls accepting the little boy...sigh!

Thanks Gladys and Linda for the info on that bird. I just liked his colors.

Thanks, checked it out and I knew about the deleterious effects of grapefruit and pharmaceutics and had heard of a similar response from orange and other citrus...forgot about it for a bit. I'm very careful about grapefruit and only eat or drink 'em after several hours after or before. That's one of the reasons I usually drink crystal light...and of course, no carbs.

A guest post from GBG Health:
By choosing to do a resistance training program, you will be doing a workout
that will provide you many more benefits than are found in other programs. Your health with resistance training programs is greatly enhanced.
Physical fitness can come from many different forms of exercise including
aerobics, treadmills, and also by adding a strength building routine. As you
continue reading, you will see our discussion of some of the
benefits that
resistance training can offer.
Not too long ago, most of the people attending the local gym were younger
people that were working out trying to get buff. It is now well known that
resistance training offers many health benefits including strengthening your
bones as you get older. Your body, starting in your 30s or 40s, begins to lose
bone mass throughout your skeletal system. To keep the weight off, you're going
to have to exercise more and eat less compensate for your metabolism slowing
down. The solution is to do resistance training on a regular basis which will
help to increase your metabolism and make your bones more dense.
To get the maximum benefit out of any fitness routine that you do it must
incorporate many different elements. Creating a balanced routine can only be
done by incorporating aerobic exercise, proper dieting, and a resistance
workout. By combining half an hour of weight training with half an hour of
aerobic activity, you will have a balanced exercise routine. Dieting is
essential, especially when you are trying to build muscle mass and lose weight
at the same time.
Many women are afraid that they will gain too much muscle mass if they begin
a resistance training program. Building muscle mass using heavyweights and
supplements is something either sex should only perform sporadically if you only want to maintain your
current weight. Without significant intensity, long duration, and copious
supplementation, a female who incorporates resistance training does not have to
worry about building large "manly muscles". To help postmenopausal
women retain and build bone mass, it is recommended that they do resistance
workouts. To fight the possibility of getting osteoporosis, resistance training
should be done by all middle-aged women.
The benefits of doing resistance training are numerous and should motivate
anyone to begin this type of routine as soon as they can. The belief that
resistance training will make you slow, clumsy, or unattractive are not relevant
especially in regard to the benefits that it can provide. The next thing you
need to do is begin your own resistance training program to make yourself
healthier and stronger.
