Latin American civil society builds bridges at the COP17 in Durban
Today, at the COP17, a group of Latin American platforms, networks and fora organized by the Building Bridges initiative met with delegations from Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru and Panama to discuss the primary issues under negotiation including the longevity of the Kyoto Protocol, designing the Green Climate Fund and adaptation.
The Ecuadorian commented on her satisfaction at seeing so many young people participating in this important event, and that with Rio+20 around the corner, the outcomes from Durban will have an impact on the event to be held in Brazil, 20 years after the Earth Summit that gave rise to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
The delegates pointed out that it is essential to continue with the Kyoto Protocol which is the only existing legally binding system, and that it runs directly against the specific wording of the Convention for some developed countries to be trying to adopt a voluntary or 'pledge and review' system under which each country would set "their own goal" for emissions reduction, which would undoubtedly drag us even further from scientific benchmarks and the goal of holding global temperature increases below 1.5 degrees C. In turn, they mentioned the risk that some developed countries want to uphold the carbon market to transfer funds, but without undertaking any binding commitments to reduce emissions.
The Bolivian delegate confirmed the concerns of her Ecuadorian colleague, mentioning that they are working to keep the COP17 from not only losing the Kyoto Protocol but even the Convention itself. She reiterated that the promises to reduce emissions, made in Copenhagen by the developed countries, are completely inadequate to prevent dangerous climate change.
The Bolivian delegate explained the new proposal presented by Bolivia, called "Sustainable Life for Forests", designed to promote integrated, sustainable management of forests beyond REDD+ mechanisms (reducing emission from deforestation and degradation) which is currently being negotiated in Durban. This initiative proposes to mobilize financial resources – but not from the carbon markets – to coordinate local and global efforts regarding climate change mitigation and adaptation, without including mechanisms to "offset" emissions, which do not address the actual source of global warming.
The Peruvian delegate underscored the priority of continuing to push for the second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol and spoke about some of Peru's mitigation actions regarding energy, waste management and forests.
Regarding climate financing, the Ecuadorian delegate mentioned some of the problems resulting from the draft report by the Transitional Committee responsible for designing the Green Climate Fund. These include the need to allocate funds and the importance for it to operate under the COP's authority; and not only under the "guidance of the COP" as the text currently reads, since there would be a conflict of interests given the likely involvement of the World Bank. There was criticism of the fact that developed countries have offered no clear, concrete amounts for the financial commitments they made in Cancún, which weakens the negotiations and creates major uncertainty.
The Peruvian delegate said that the Green Climate Fund (GCF) must be established in Durban, which was reiterated by the delegates from Bolivia and Ecuador, who indicated their intention to amend some aspects of these texts being negotiated so that the GCF is designed properly. They stated that it is unacceptable for some countries to urge the signing of the GCF text – with the aforementioned deficiencies – in the name of multilateralism, since there is no point in setting up a fund that does not work.
The Panamanian delegate emphasized the demand by SICA (Central American Integration System) countries that call for official recognition of Central America as a highly vulnerable region, and consider this a key issue on his country's adaptation agenda.
The Building Bridges facilitator, Osver Polo, is looking forward to at least minimal progress in three key areas: continuing the Kyoto Protocol, climate financing and adaptation, which the success of COP17 hinges upon. He reminded the Latin American delegations that civil society is ready to support them in this enormous endeavor, and that our delegates' political will to meet and discuss with these networks is crucial.
Although Latin American countries do not have a common position at the climate negotiations, they all agree that COP17 should not bury the Kyoto Protocol. Similarly, they share concerns about the region's vulnerability and the impacts of climate change, demanding additional and predictable funding for adaptation and mitigation actions. All these demands are shared by the civil-society organizations represented in Durban, so the battle for COP17 is not yet lost, but undoubtedly requires joining forces and continuing to build bridges.

LOVE THIS PERFUME> I have a bottle I am selling on ebay, that is over half full. I actually had two bottles and figured I would sell one! if interested, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Still want this one if anyone is selling send me message/ email@example.com
This is a great summer scent. I am almost embarrassed to admit that I am wearing it at 30 as I know it is better suited for someone younger, it just smells sooo nice. It is light and fresh, not so much of a crisp-aquatic fresh, more like soft floral-greens kind of fresh. And there is definitely some sweetness, not so much of a sugary sweetness, but more of a natural honeysuckle kind of sweetness. And do I smell a hint of black licorice? Whatever it is that I am detecting, it adds a little sophistication, keeps it grounded, and gives it a deepness that you just want to keep sniffing. Wear it on a summer day to make you feel happy, pretty, feminine, young, carefree, and all-American.
This was the best summer perfume I've had in my life, I've been looking for another one that's at least a little bit close to this one but I still fon't find it. If anyone knows about a similar scent, please let us know!
Girls iff you have a botle to sell plz message me on my e-mail, email@example.com
lovely, but a bit too watery for me.
i have one 100ml bottle , max. 10 ml used.- interested ?
This perfume reminds me of when I was 13 I live in the uk so if any1 knows we're I can get from please let me know!! :)
oh wow i wanted this for so long finally got one but my god i think i am gonna throw up it smells so bad, it smells like salt water but in a bad way, maybe its just me and it doesn't go well with my chemistry. 1.7oz up for swap US only, someone PLEEEEZZZ take it.
So wonderful!!! Hard to find and overpriced now but worth every penny. I am very happy I bought it. So feminine and fresh but unique fragrance. Love it!!!!
This is pleasant and fruity. It becomes more soapy throughout the day. Thereore, I wear it on hot summer days when I need to feel a little fresher in the afternoon. It is a very young fragrance so if I have somehwere to go, I layer it with something else light when I arrive.
LOOOOOOVE IT!!!! mine is almost finished! :((( I anyone has this one plz! let me now I want to buy it :))
I gave this to an ex a while back and it is just sexy, plain and simple. I smell this and I picture a pretty girl at the beach sunbathing and taking in the surf. Love it! As far as I can smell the 2008/09 smell the same.
i got this as a gift from my mother and absolutely loved the smell of it. and i really wish i could buy more! but i cant seem to find it anywhere :(
i got this as a gift from my mother and absolutely loved the smell of it. and i really wish i could buy more! but i cant seem to find it anywhere :(
I really, really regretted that I had not bought a dozen of them that time. Now it's so hard to search for a good deal for this fragrance anymore...
I absolutely LOVE this scent!!!!! I bought it last year and this year it's practically gone. I left a tiny bit in it so I could remember the smell and then hopefully try and find it and I did and I am soooo excited! This perfume is AWESOME!!!!!
At first I was really into this one because of the fresh and fruity scent, but then, I bought it and found it more and more awful. There is something in it that makes me feel sick. But I don't think the other users feel so, it's just a personal dislike.

In March 2000, Stephen S. Burkhart, MD, discussed a 26-year-old woman with severe chronic shoulder pain. Mrs B was a physical education teacher whose activities were limited by chronic left shoulder pain. She had tried physical therapy, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and cortisone injections without adequate relief. The pain started 4 years earlier in both shoulders without preceding injury, and diagnoses included subdeltoid bursitis, rotator cuff tendonitis, and impingement. The pain awakened her from sleep and interfered with basic activities such as brushing her hair and lifting her arm. A magnetic resonance image (MRI) showed a possible small tear in the rotator cuff. She wondered whether surgery would afford long-term relief and how difficult the recovery period would be.

Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

We want to buy a new top loader and matching dryer set and are considering the LG WT5070 4.7 cu ft. We have read it doesn't have a gentle cycle though. Anyone own this model? Also want to keep an open mind to see if there are any other brands that compare for the money. We are in research mode so any advice is appreciated! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Per the instruction manual there are four cycles that should be suitable for various types of delicates: Casual / Perm Press Baby Wear Pure Color Wool |
On front load LG washers, the cycle called Baby Wear is a heated cycle that is the equivalent of Bright Whites or Whitest Whites on other washers. So it would not be suitable for delicates if that is the case for the top load LGs as well. |
What attracts you to the HE top loader? The reviews for that particular model at amazon.com are very mixed with nobody in the middle. A few people love, love, love the machine and several people hate, hate, hate the machine. |
Thanks everyone. Seems we have more research to do. We live in a small town and Lowes is the only place that carries LG. Their customer service reps are not that knowledgable so it's been a challenge. |

Blizzard sends a C&D to Warcraft Characters, other iPhone apps
For whatever reason, it appears Blizzard is going after even free programs released on the iPhone that use their information from the Armory. We're not quite sure why -- an optimist might guess that they're planning to release an Armory app of their own on the iPhone, or they're worried that people might confuse the official iPhone app with one that's unofficial. Or maybe they're just being cautious of their copyrights, though that's a pretty harsh assessment -- there are other MMOs who surivive and thrive off of unofficial iPhone and desktop apps.
It would be a real shame if Blizzard legal was simply going after fans who have invested a lot of time and effort into these apps even when there's no clear reason for them to do so. Clearing the field for an official app is one thing, but closing down a useful product for your players built solely by your fans just to erase a perceived threat is entirely another.

BROWNSVILLE, Texas — Customs officers have found 5,000 rounds of ammunition commonly used in assault rifles in a SUV crossing back into Mexico.
Customs and Border Protection announced Friday that a Mexican citizen was caught in a southbound inspection at the Gateway International Bridge in Brownsville on Wednesday. Boxes of ammunition were found under the back seat of the Ford Excursion.
The driver, a 21-year-old man from Matamoros, Mexico, was turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Authorities occasionally inspect southbound traffic at the international bridges looking for cash and weapons.

"Good, but not the best."
This book is not my favorite of Lee Child's Jack Reacher novels but still good. If you have not yet had the pleasure of meeting Child's action star Jack Reacher, I would not start with this one, but for those who already like the well written, ever engrossing Reacher series this is worth the time.
"not worth the credit"
The most poorly written Connelly book I have ever read, made even more daunting my mediocre narration.
"find a better narrator"
This is a great book (one of my favorites) but I would recommend finding a different reader. This is not a great version it makes the story really drag. Spend the extra money for a better narrator.
"A charming story, fluffed with history"
I had some grievances with this book; the author did not seem to have a refined, strong writing style and at times the author's wine knowledge is inaccurate and severely wanting. Some of the narrators French pronunciations caused me to cringe I enjoyed the fluid narration and found the story entertaining and engaging. I would not recommend this to a French wine connoisseur but it is worthy to amuse any who have moderate affections for wine and/or history. All in all; well worth a credit.
"a formula plot"
Before Eclipse I read Exile, which made it a bit impossible to really get in to Eclipse because it seemed like the same story; American male attorney friends with a married female activist in danger, [insert human rights crisis here]. All it all it was good however I could not help but feel like I was in a formula rather than a story, Eclipse is the Africa version of Exile, and Exile the Middle East version of Eclipse more or less.
"A fun ride"
A good Michael Connelly mystery. It was a great listen good narration, strong and consistent writing with pace that builds rapidly If you like Michael Connelly then you will like this.
"worth a credit"
A good read worth a credit, nothing amazing but decent writing, decent characters, and absolutely excellent narration. I think that if I had read the actual tangable book I might have been a little disappointed or felt a lag here and there but this is an example of how an audiobook can really enhance a story and make it more enjoyable (and less time consuming as you can listen while you work). If the author was still alive I might listen to his next book but would not seek it out.
"Not Disappointed"
I really enjoyed this book, good story told from a character with a unique vantage point, sound narration and good writing (at times a bit predictable). This is the first book by Richard North Patterson I have read (listened to) but he has sufficiently impressed me that I will be reading more. I don't think this will disappoint.
"if you like Jane Austin"
It is Jane Austin, so if you like Jane Austin then it is for you. The narration is good while the recording quality is less than ideal it did not hinder the story.
"a decent mystery"
An interesting story line and a decent mystery despite the two-dimensional characters. At times the writing style is slightly crude and juvenile, filled with many tedious; "sucks", "god damn its" "you knows". The narrator has a good rhythm is easy to listen two, save the cringes of pain induced as she stumbles through horrific indecipherable accents. So if you can live with the aforementioned shortcomings you will have a nice mystery worth the few hours and a credit.


text: Final John Paul Jones Letter: Denounces US, Requests Russian Burial Dark Laughter October 13, 2012 Navy 11 Comments Follow Duffel Blog: PARIS — "I feel the end is near," starts the letter, "Yet though I was born in Scotland, and learned my trade sailing under the flag of England, I have learned that, though a man may be born to one people, he may die as part of another." "For thus has it been with me," it continues, "so while men may look at my life and say 'Scot', or 'Englishman', in my heart I die a Russian." So begins the newly discovered last will and testament of Captain John Paul Jones, beloved naval hero of the American Revolutionary War. Jones is best remembered in the United States for his audacious operations in British waters while commanding the USS Ranger, his victory in the Battle of Flamborough Head while commanding the USS Bonhomme Richard, and for his timelessly inspirational quotes in the heat of battle, in particular his famous reply of "I have not yet begun to fight!" when asked to surrender by the captain of the HMS Serapis, which Jones subsequently captured. Jones' will was recently uncovered in a Paris archive by Dr. Brigitte Cuvelier, a Belgian historian researching French consular correspondence in the late 18th century. It was dated 17 July, 1792, the same day Jones was found dead on the floor of his Parisian apartment. Jones had found his way to Europe in the aftermath of the American Revolution following an incident in which Congress briefly granted him command of the ship of the line USS America before, in the words of Jones' letter, "yanking her out from under my feet" to compensate America's French allies. Jones soon found himself unemployed and forgotten until being hired by Empress Catherine II of Russia, referred to repeatedly in the letter as "Her Imperial Majesty Ekaterina", who strongly praised Jones' abilities and achievements. Jones was ultimately edged out of Catherine's service by jealous Russian nobles, and returned to Paris for the rest of his life, taking up residence in the apartment in which he eventually wrote his will. Jones spent his final years repeatedly requesting to return to Russian service, though never attempting to return to the United States, a contrast that Jones explains fully for the first time in the uncovered document. Jones has many harsh words for his one-time allies in the United States, whom his letter denounces as "ungrateful", "rapacious", and "disloyal", though these are only approximations of the terms used by Jones, who wrote entirely in Russian. A note Cuvelier found enclosed with the document explained that the will was originally discovered on Jones' desk, and was apparently the last document he ever wrote, an assertion supported by a trailing line leading off the page from the end of Jones' signature, which he wrote as "Павел Джонз". The letter's final paragraph includes instructions for its delivery to the Imperial Russian consulate, a heartfelt request to be buried on Russian soil, and an appointment of the Russian ambassador as executor of Jones' estate. It is unclear why the letter was never delivered. However, Cuvelier has a theory. "It's important to keep in mind that Jones' death occurred during an extremely volatile period of French history," said Cuvelier. "It seems likely that the French government could have fully intended to deliver the letter, but the chaos of the Revolution might have somehow prevented this, or at least caused it to be forgotten." The document remained undiscovered through the end of the French ancien regime, the Napoleonic Empire, and five French Republics, not to mention the 1905 exhumation of Jones' body and its transportation to be reinterred in the United States, an eventuality Jones' letter foresaw and explicitly prohibited. "They are scum pretending to be nobility," Jones says of Virginia's planter elite, reserving particular anger for George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, both of whom he excoriates by name throughout the document. Jones then goes off on a tangent in which he contrasts the divinely ordained nobility of the Russian autocracy with the "bottomless, godless, clutching greed" of a plantation aristocracy "strutting about in the cloak of a republic", and describes the benevolence of Russian serfdom, in which "even serfs are in some way subjects", as superior to American racial chattel slavery, in which African-American slaves were treated as "mere property". "I would rather have my bones scattered, forever lost, across the bottom of the seas, than have even a grain of American soil laid upon my coffin," Jones concludes. In response to the letter's discovery, the Russian government has issued a press release praising Jones' service in the Russo-Turkish War, and has announced plans to rename an Admiral Grigorivich class frigate, currently under construction in Kaliningrad, for Jones. Furthermore, the Russian Orthodox Church, to which Jones explicitly affirmed his membership in his will's second to last paragraph, has acknowledged his burial request, and has begun preparations to inter him in a place of honor in Novodevichy Cemetery alongside other notable Russians following a Mass held in Moscow's rebuilt Cathedral of Christ the Saviour. The United States Naval Academy, which currently houses Jones' body in an ornate marble sarcophagus, has declined to comment on this story.

Planning and Strategic Infrastructure
Planning and Strategic Infrastructure
Planning and the Localism Bill
The Localism Bill, contains a substantial package of reforms to the local government, including the planning system:
- Removal of regional strategies from the planning system;
- Introduction of a new right for local communities to draw up neighbourhood plans;
- An increase in planning enforcement powers;
- Limits on the involvement of planning inspectors in local plans; and
- A new duty on public bodies such as the County Council, to actively participate in 'larger-than-local' planning.
The government anticipates the bill to become law by the end of 2011 and future strategic plans will be based on this.
The current strategic planning framework
Until the Localism Bill becomes law, Gloucestershire County Council remains the strategic planning authority for the county providing policy advice on the Adopted 2nd Review Gloucestershire Structure Plan (1991 - 2011).
A replacement Structure Plan known as the Deposit Draft 3rd Alteration Gloucestershire Structure Plan (2001 - 2016) was prepared but this plan has never been formally adopted. It is a material consideration in planning applications though.
The Strategic Infrastructure Team also provides technical policy support for the strategies and plans being prepared by the district councils, the Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) and the Local Nature Partnership (LNP) in Gloucestershire. Key projects include:
- Gloucestershire Strategic Infrastructure Delivery Plan ...
- Gloucestershire Renewable Energy Study
- Gloucestershire Housing Evidence Review
- Gloucestershire Strategic Green Infrastructure Framework
The Strategic Planning process before 2010
From 2004 the planning system replaced county-level plans with regional spatial strategies prepared by new regional planning bodies. The County Council became a formal evidence provider (known as a (4(4) authority) for the regional planning body - the South West Regional Assembly. The technical input, called the Joint Study Area (JSA) studies, was submitted to the regional assembly in September 2005.
The Secretary of State's Proposed Changes Version of the South West Regional Spatial Strategy remains a material consideration in determining planning applications.
Other Planning
- Waste Core Strategy (WCS)
- Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) [4Mb]
- Strategic Housing Market Assessment [9Mb]
These and more, including full background documentation on all planning is available on Planning policy, Infrastructure Guidance and Economic Growth Initiatives

With these expansion projects, thousands of jobs have been created, as well as millions of dollars invested into local Tennessee communities.
Companies like Gap, Surface Igniter, Dot Foods and Miller Industries will move their headquarters here or expand their current space. When companies expand their existing space in Tennessee, that says a lot about the current economy. When companies are moving their headquarters here that says a lot about the state of Tennessee.
In 2010, I was proud to have been a part of the Tennessee General Assembly that established the Office of Small Business Advocate.
My family owns a small business within the Bradley County area. Small businesses are vital to Tennessee.
The OSBA is the primary contact for Tennessee small business owners who need assistance with specific business issues or have general questions about state agencies, regulatory compliance or other business-related topics.
In addition, if a small business owner feels his or her business has been subject to unfair enforcement actions by a state agency, the business owner can seek assistance and relief from the OSBA. With 97 percent of the companies in Tennessee being classified as "small businesses," the Office of Small Business Advocate provides an invaluable resource to business owners across the state, providing help and information to the entrepreneurs who are the backbone of creativity and job production in Tennessee.
To contact Tennessee's Small Business Advocate, Lauren Plunk, call 615-401-7806 or email her at email@example.com.
Major honor
goes to Benton
Elementary School
I am thrilled to announce that Benton Elementary School has been recognized as a Reward School by the Tennessee Department of Education.
The designation means the schools are in either the top 5 percent of all schools in the state for annual academic growth or the top 5 percent for overall academic achievement.
The Reward School program spans 52 districts across the state and includes 169 total schools. Republican leaders praised the news, thanking teachers, administrators and students for all their hard work in achieving the important educational goals.
The 2012-13 Reward Schools made their impressive accomplishments during a year when Tennessee saw consistent gains on the statewide Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program testing. As schools across the state made improvements and reached higher levels of proficiency, the Reward Schools led the way in overall school performance.
A complete list of Reward Schools can be found by visiting: Tn.gov/education/accountability/reward_2013.shtml.
Veterans designation
made available for
driver's licenses
I was honored to join my colleagues in Nashville, along with officials from the Department of Safety & Homeland Security, and the Department of Veterans Affairs during September to announce the addition of a new veterans designation for Tennessee driver's licenses.
Many of the citizens of my district are veterans and to publicly recognize those that gave so much for our state and country is humbling. The new driver's license designation is offered to any honorably discharged service member who presents a certified copy of their discharge papers, or DD-214, to any of the driver service center facilities located across Tennessee.
The primary purpose of the license designation is to allow the state to publicly recognize veterans for their time in service. The new license also serves as proof of veteran status for those who do not carry copies of their DD-214 papers with them on a regular basis.
For more information about this new program which is now being offered statewide, visit http://www.tn.gov/safety/ or call the Department of Safety and Homeland Security at 615-251-5166.
Governor, legislators
launch Tennessee's
new 'Drive to 55'
I joined Gov. Bill Haslam and House Speaker Beth Harwell to help launch Tennessee's new "Drive to 55" education initiative. This program aims to increase the percentage of Tennesseans with a college degree or certificate to 55 percent by the year 2025.
We focus so much on the future of Tennessee with our attention on the children. Now, we can bring an added emphasis to the adults as we encourage those to return to school for their secondary education. Currently, only 32 percent of the state has a degree or certificate.
The initiative will work hand-in-hand with the recent launch of Western Governors University Tennessee, an online school which seeks to expand access to higher education for all Tennesseans. Differing from most brick-and-mortar institutions, WGU Tennessee uses an innovative learning model called competency-based education. Instead of earning a degree based on credit hours or time spent in class, students must demonstrate their knowledge of required subject matter through rigorous testing procedures.
This new program will help both traditional college students achieve success while also aiding those who now wish to go back to school to finish their degrees. As the state continues to move into the 21st century, Republicans believe having these new opportunities available will help ensure Tennessee students are being prepared for the high-skilled and high-wage jobs of the future.
Tennessee keeps
getting recognized
with major honors
Other than law enforcement, one of the key areas that has been a priority for me is to bring more business to our state. I was thrilled when Forbes magazine released their 2013 "Best States For Business" and Tennessee is now No. 15, as compared to No. 24 just last year. Our pro-business and AAA rating from Moody's Bond Agency is a major sign that proves our state's fiscal environment and that our state is a leader.
I would like to congratulate Gary Farlow, president and CEO of the Cleveland/Bradley County Chamber of Commerce on his recent election win as president of the Tennessee Economic Development Council Board.

Dan Ostermiller
Working in the manner of the great 19th century artists, Dan Ostermiller's connection with wildlife and the outdoors continues a legacy in American sculpture. Dan gained an absolute understanding of the anatomy of animals while working with his father, a taxidermist, and this understanding allows him to sculpt freely without thinking about proportions, allowing the essence of what he wants to convey to come through. Dan is less concerned with the physique of his subjects as he is with the moods, personalities, and general shapes of the compostions, and he establishes a fluidity of motion and creates expression by manipulating animals' features. In fact, the titles of his works indicate not the type of animal, but the individual emotions or characters of the figures. The surface patterns and patinas of the pieces complete the effect as they capture light and lead the eye around the curves and musculature of his subjects.

Matt Schaub probably had a better day than you did today. Of course, there are always exceptions.
Did you get married today? Your day was pretty awesome then, minus the fact that you missed the first Sunday of the NFL season. Poor form, dude.
Did you witness the birth of your first child today? Your day was also pretty good then, minus the fact that nine months ago you didn't properly calculate that you'd be missing the first day of the NFL season. Poor form, dude.
All Schaub did was pass for 266 yards and a touchdown during the Texans' win over a woefully inept Dolphins team, and then he signed a four-year contract extension worth $62 million, $24.75 million of which is guaranteed.
Schaub was scheduled to become a free agent after the end of this season, and after cranking open their vault to secure and extend the contracts of Conor Barwin and Arian Foster earlier in the offseason, it seemed likely that the Texans would wait on their 31-year-old quarterback and make him prove his health after a serious Lisfranc injury last year.
That wait lasted exactly one game. As always, the key here is the guaranteed money, which is the only aspect of any NFL contract that really matters. It's a very manageable number for a QB who had at least 4,300 passing yards in each of the two seasons prior to last year.
He's now under contract until the end of the 2016 season with a deal that will average $15.5 million annually overall.

Like many of my friends in Washington, I've been thinking about composting for years but haven't started a program. I usually get overwhelmed at the first step—buying the container. But if I were a restaurant, hotel, school or hospital in D.C., I could just pick up the phone and call EnviRelation, which offers food composting services for hundreds of clients in the region, including Hyatt, Hilton, Marriott, Sodexo, University of Maryland and Alexandria City Public Schools.
Walker Lunn founded EnviRelation in an effort to help the hospitality industry reduce its carbon footprint, a project he started while at Cornell University's School of Hotel Administration. I spoke with Lunn last month.
You started EnviRelation in 2006, but it evolved out of a project at Cornell?
Yes, while I was an undergraduate I got involved with some folks at the World Bank. They were interested in having a composting program for their offices in Washington. So while I was at Cornell I consulted for them and hired a vendor and trained their staff. When I was graduating there were more opportunities at hotels and restaurants. I realized I could go into a hotel and try to get the hotel to be green from the inside. But I knew the products and services weren't there to do it, so I decided to do start this business.
What are you finding with your clients in terms of composting being something consumers are aware of, versus something done behind the scenes?
In most cases it's behind the scenes, especially at hotels. At a Hyatt, for example, their policy is to do as much of it behind the scenes as possible. But something like a Sweet Green, a smaller restaurant with organic positioning, they have the customers separating their own waste.
Do you think guests at high-end hotels aren't quite ready to see a composting operation?
At full-service hotels, the guest isn't required to throw a lot out to begin with. When they dine, they don't clear their own plates. So it's not that big of a piece. But you can see it at some high-end restaurants that promote the farm-to-table concept; they see this as table-to-farm.
For some of the hotels, they'll pursue a composting or recycling program as part of a certification program, and they use that to communicate to their guests what they are doing. Others will compile a sustainability report.
Walk me through the process with one of your clients.
We operate pretty much every other day. Clients put compost into containers we give them. We take it to a composting facility. We use Recycled Green Industries in Woodbine, Md., and Topsoil Inc. in Curtis Bay, Md. We pay them per pound, but less than we'd pay to take it to a landfill. They mix it with other materials, like leaves or twigs, and compost it over 90 to 120 days. They screen it to take out impurities, such as any plastic that's managed to get its way in, and then they have this high quality compost.
How do you train your clients' employees how to compost?
We give them a poster that shows pictures of what can and can't be composted. It's in English and Spanish. It becomes very innate, because we all know what was once a growing, living thing, and what wasn't. Our clients can compost meat and bones and dairy and fish, which is what most people can't compost in their own backyard composting piles. At our scale, we can.
Are your clients more motivated by saving money, or by environmental responsibility, or both?
Both. We make sure our clients are saving money, which has been important to our growth. Even with the recent economic climate, we were growing very strongly.
Also, they look back and see that with composting and recycling, they have very little waste. They are motivated because they believe in it and know it's the right thing to do ;
People get confused or alienated when you start taking about greenhouse gas emissions. Composting—they get it. It's so real. Because it is so real, and it's a living thing, they think of it less than a trash service and more of something that you can use for gardens and growth. It has this unique sex appeal because of that.
Are any of the businesses you have as clients more challenging to work with in terms of getting a composting program up and running?
For us, the pick-up part is the same. Internally, getting the things into the containers is very different for every client. Dealing with a high school is really different than a grab-and-go salad restaurant.
They all have their unique issues. When we do work with an elementary school, usually a PTA person gets involved, or a science teacher incorporates a lesson around it, and they patrol lunch for a few weeks until everyone gets a hang of it.
But if we do National Geographic's office cafeteria, they do less with that and more with signage and their biodegradable products.
So they can compost things like forks and bowls. Very cool. What else can be composed that most of us might not think of?
Milk cartons, orange juice cartons, meat, bones, fish, dairy. The biodegradable products can be made from corn starch, soy starch or potato starch. People put a lot of thought into some of these products, but it's easy to forget that regular paper cups and plates can also be composted.
And a lot of people get excited about the waxed cardboard. You can't recycle waxed cardboard, like pizza boxes, but you can compost it.
How much are your clients cutting down on waste now that they are composting?
If you look at just restaurants, we expect to see a minimum of a 60 percent diversion. For a hotel, it's a little different because they also have things coming from places that are not their restaurant; they may have trash from the guest rooms or from a renovation.
The EPA says about 12 percent of our total waste is food waste. At restaurants, almost all of it is recyclable or compostable. You can expect a large conference hotel to compost a ton of food waste a day, and a large restaurant can compost about 1,000 to 1,500 pounds a day.
Have you heard any anecdotal evidence of your clients' employees being inspired to start composting operations at home?
Just the opposite--a lot of them already do it. It's a pleasant surprise. Usually they say, "This is awesome, I can stop taking this home with me to compost."
Many chefs say we don't need this service, and they say they are just taking it home to compost, and I'm like, there's no way you're actually taking this all home. It's really heavy.
What's the next step with your business?
In January we are going to be announcing an oil collection service to work with a local producer of biofuels, DC Biofuels. They will use the oil to create fuel that will be used by D.C. Public Schools and D.C. Public Works. It addresses the energy issue and localization issue. Right now, the oil is being reused—for cosmetics or animal feed--but we think this is a better use. It's local, and by addressing this energy question it can be part of the solution for global warming. We'll probably start that in February.
What else?
It's interesting to talk about this industry and what's happening environmentally. Particularly in D.C. there are some interesting nuances. The food code says all food waste goes into the sewer system. Our sewer system is a combined sewer system, and when we have really heavy storms we have sewer overflow into the Potomac and Anacostia rivers. So by composting, one, we avoid that, and two, we avoid the landfill. Then we make the compost, which is in between mulch and fertilizer as far as what it is and how it's used. So it's going to retain a lot of nitrogen, which will slow the nitrogen runoff into the Chesapeake Bay. People don't think about this, but when we take your compost, it helps downstream.
You said these establishments are required to put their food in the sewer?
I'll read it to you. The District Food Code Regulation Section 2607.2 says each food establishment served by a sanitary sewer and conducting any activity or activities which generate food wastes has to have and use one or more food waste grinders that are conveniently located near each such activity and which have adequate capacity to dispose of all readily grindable food waste produced.
Is really this happening?
They are technically required to, but they don't. You'd have to have a full-time guy with a shovel.
What kind of composting do you do at home?
I have to take it into my office with me. My condo board won't let me put a container out back.

How to Find Ginseng
Note: It's illegal to dig ginseng right now. Legal season is Sept. 1 through Dec. 1. Here's a PDF from the Arkansas State Plant Board about the rules regarding ginseng harvest and sales.
Start Broad – Find Habitat
It's good to know the companions because ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) can be a difficult plant to spot. If you're out looking for ginseng, you'll know to look harder if you've already spotted the companions. The plant seems to show itself to some but not to others. I've spoken to many people who have never found it on their own even though they stood side-by-side with someone else who could point it out to them. I'm that way when it comes to hunting morel mushrooms. I cannot find them, even if I look exactly in the right kinds of spots. According to people who find them, morels have their own kinds of companion plants (and trees). During spring morel hunts, my friends come back with bags of gathered morels and I stand there empty-handed. Not so with ginseng. I can find that one!
Finding the clues: Ginseng Companion Plants
In one of my other posts about ginseng, I talked about choosing the best site to plant. Those tips can also help you find ginseng if you're hunting it. And here's a post that might help explain why you're not finding it.
Indicator plants, also called companion plants, are those plants, shrubs and trees that like to grow in the same sort of environment as another plant. They keep the same company because they require the same habitat.
When I first go out to the woods, even in a place I know has ginseng, I have a difficult time spotting the first ginseng plant. They have a way of growing that makes them hard to see, but once you've found the first one it's easier to find more. I think the first one somehow trains the eyes to see that form. It's like this every time I go out. I have to find one first, then the rest become easier to see.
If you're scouting woods for likely places to either plant or find it, here are a few of the companion plants you'll want to keep an eye out for. They're much easier to find than ginseng itself.
Photos of the companions
Here's a few of the photos from the books:
Want More Ginseng or Companion Plant Pictures?
For lots of wild ginseng and companion plant pictures, see our "Into the Ginseng Wood" collection. It's now available in PDF and Windows Media, so not limited only to Kindle ebook readers. If you need more than pictures to help identifying the companions or ginseng habitat, you'll appreciate our short field guide devoted to companion plants and ginseng habitat called A DIY Ginseng Habitat & Site Assessment Guide.
There's also lots of photos on this blog if you'd like to just browse around a bit. Click on the icon below to get all of the posts that mention ginseng.
Before I could finish this article, I had to hike out to one of my favorite spots to get a few more photos. And before I could download the photos I had to take a shower with dishwashing liquid because I encountered poison ivy. I'm not terribly reactive to it, but when I go out for photos, I am often right down on the ground so I can get close up shots of things that are also close to the ground. There's a lot of poison ivy on the ground in my favorite spot. And ticks too. Since many confuse this plant with ginseng, I wrote a short article and made a poster about the ginseng look alikes. It's a downloadable item: Ginseng Look Alikes ID Guide, $1.50.
Poison ivy is NOT an indicator plant. In fact, if you see too much of it, it's an indicator that there is probably too much sunlight in that location.
And such was the case with my favorite spot until recently. However, it wasn't always like that. Before the ice storm of 2009, there was dense shade in that little holler. During the ice storm many of the trees fell and tops were snapped off, which then let in much more sunlight than had been there prior. And that's what allowed the poison ivy to grow so densely there. It has taken nearly five years for the forest to recover to a point where the shade has returned to proper density. In the meantime, the ginseng suffered but it didn't die except in the spots where a tree opened a gap to direct sunlight for too many hours per day. Most of the ginseng companion plants can tolerate more sunlight than ginseng. Maidenhair and Christmas ferns can tolerate more shade than can ginseng. But the ivy can also tolerate shade and thus it is still there even as the tree's limbs have stretched to fill in the canopy. If we avoid more ice storms, it'll eventually fade back toward the brighter areas and leave the deep shade alone. With a little help from the companions, you'll be able to find suitable habitat for one of our greatest natural treasures, wild American Ginseng. The knowledge you gain will help you become a better conservationist if you choose to grow your own "virtually wild" ginseng rather than dig the wild.
Practice Ethical Hunting and Harvesting, and Consider Growing Your Own
Ginseng has a specific season when it's legal to harvest, and specific practices that will help ensure the plant continues to exist in the wild.
Please follow the laws of your state regarding how and when to harvest. For the state of Arkansas, those rules are here (it's a PDF file). I also go over specific practices to help the plant survive in my book Sustainable Ginseng. You might wonder why someone who conserves the wild ginseng wants to hunt it. When I find wild ginseng, I don't dig it. I record where I found it and observe the habitat, photograph the plants and environment. Then I use the information I gather to become more successful at growing it. From the plants I've seeded on our property, I also plant the ripe berries and redistribute them to places I want to establish new colonies. (Never gather all of the seeds of a plant, and never dig without planting the seeds.) To know where to plant, it helps to know the preferred habitat of ginseng. My hope is that you'll become interested in growing wild-simulated ginseng, and for that you'll need to know the kinds of places ginseng likes to grow.
Wild-simulated, or virtually wild, is simply the practice of planting seeds and allowing them to grow naturally.
No tilling, no fertilizing, no weeding (except perhaps in the beginning to clear out underbrush). Then in 7-10 years, begin a sustainable plan for harvesting. That plan would include taking no more than 50% of the seed-bearing plants from each colony, and always replanting the seeds from those plants in the original area.

Where can I find ginseng seed plants to grow? Is it possible to find? And is it true that this plant gives you vitality of male enhancement?
Does sang grow in Oklahoma I live next to I-40 about 20 miles or so from the OK-AR border. I have seen tons of plants like this but I thought it was poison ivy. I own a lot of wooded land was just wondering if it is possible for it to grow here.
Yes I see the fern type plants you have pictures of. I will try and get out and take a few pictures and send them to you, thank you for such a quick response.
Hello, can anyone take a sec and PLEASE tell me if sang grows in central Al? Like on a map dead center of the state.. I'm not a experienced hunter by far! Fact is never found one! just enjoy outdoors and looking… Please help me!!!!!!!

Transfer Credit for Associate Degrees
UW has articulation agreements in place that give credit for our lower division general education (University Studies Program - USP) requirements to Associate of Arts of Science graduates of the following institutions:
- all Wyoming community colleges
- all regionally accredited Colorado community colleges
- Western Nebraska Community College
- Mid-Plains Community College (Nebraska)
- Colby Community College (Kansas)
Credit for the second qualitative reasoning course will be given if completed as part of the Associates' program. Additionally, graduates of non-Wyoming institutions must also complete a course/challenge exam over Wyoming government and constitution. The "core" applies only to university-level general education requirements. If a student's college or major requirements includes a specific course(s) that might have been waived from USP requirements by virtue of earning the "core", the student will likely still need to take that/those course(s). To earn the core, the effective date of the degree must be May 2001 or later for graduates of Wyoming schools, December 2008 or later for Pikes Peak Community College, and May 2012 or later for all other schools referenced above. Applied associates degrees and specialized degrees (Associates of Fine Arts, for example) which have substantially fewer general education requirements are not eligible to earn the core.

Bryan Cranston disguised himself in Bryan Cranston mask at Comic-Con, went unnoticed
Bryan Cranston has a pretty awesome track record when it comes to interacting with fans. Perhaps you were convinced Cranston is the coolest during his Reddit AMA, when he answered that he'd prefer to fight 100 horse-sized ducks (what else do you expect from Heisenberg?). But if you weren't already aware of the general awesomeness that is Bryan Cranston, let us draw your attention to the prank he pulled at Comic-Con in San Diego this weekend.
No one was quite sure who this guy walking around in the convincing outfit with the hyper-realistic Bryan Cranston mask was. He kind of blended in with the other hyper-realistic costumes:
After walking around undiscovered by fans all day, he revealed himself to be Heisenberg in the flesh.
And then Cranston started making out with the mask. And then Aaron Paul did. "Breaking Bad" creator Vince Gillgan stood by tooking pictures. The whole thing was weird. See Business Insider for more details.

The Kvetcher in the Rye
Crikey, what a complainer Cynthia Ozick is. Still gnawing on that old piece of bark about all those years she went unpublished, unpraised, unloved. She's 82 years old and instead of being grateful that she's not on the slag heap or the obituary page--that over the decades she's published a shelf of titles, won a slew of literary awards, and this Sunday will share the front page of The New York Times Book Review with Saul Bellow (her newest novel, Foreign Bodies, reviewed alongside Bellow's letters)--she keeps making her little mousy squeaks over the cheese she was denied when she was so avid. From Charles McGrath's interview with Ozzie in The New York Times:
Talking about her early struggle to get published — 14 years in which nobody believed in her but herself — she said: "I had such crazy passions then. I was kneeling at the altar of literature. It was Lionel Trilling who said, 'The novel or nothing.' " She shook her head. "Is there a word more passionate than passion? Obsession, total immersion, the feeling that everything else doesn't matter."
She added: "In spite of this rueful feeling I have about that time, I think I never wrote so well, aside from the Jamesian tics. I felt very weak, because of having no recognition, but secretly very powerful, because I knew I was writing so well."
She recalled that Robert Gottlieb, who had become her editor, once gave her a little lecture, telling her she should stop dwelling on those 14 years. "It was good advice," she said. "But I think early recognition is everything. It was everything for Updike and for Roth. It gives you a kind of confidence for life. I write now with the raven of doubt sitting on my shoulder all the time."
Kneeling before the altar was her own submissive choice, and "The novel or nothing" is a dangerous motto to follow, one that almost guarantees dashed disappointment. (Like swearing allegiance to Cyril Connolly's contention that the sole function of a writer is to produce a masterpiece, thereby ensuring a career devoted to masochism and futility.) Moreover, Ozick herself says that no one she knows has ever finished reading her first novel, Trust. Well, maybe that's why no one published her all those years--they found her fictional prose and pose intractable. Compare this with Updike's reader-friendly flexibility. Updike served a two year apprenticeship at The New Yorker, writing anonymous Talk stories and publishing poems and short stories--he was sensible enough not to subscribe to the notion of the Novel or Nothing, banking everything on the appeasing Lionel Trilling's imaginary bishopric.
And what writer, apart from the happy hack (as rare a species as the masterpiece author), doesn't have a "raven of doubt" perched somewhere? Writers accorded early recognition often feel the pressure of living up to the early lauded promise and losing touch as they get older, their sales and reviews forming a descending slope on the graph. How happy do you think Don DeLillo is with the reception he's gotten in recent years? Look at some of the maulings Updike got.
Like Susan Sontag, Ozick is a stronger essayist than she is a fiction writer. Just as Sontag has her "The Way We Live Now," Ozick has written some short-story masterpieces ("The Shawl," for one), but her novels are too cerebral, clotted, and narrowly willful. And her Henry James obsession is a bore, always has been. Like Sontag, too, Ozick is fundamentally humorless, which is always a handicap and a hindrance.
In Thomas Mallon's rave review of Ozick's Foreign Bodies in next Sunday's Book Review, he cites the following sentence as a sample of her "superb aptness":
"The wedding cake was wheeled in on a cart, like a belated and infirm guest gallantly overdressed in too many fringes and tassels."
See, to me that sentence is overdressed, as most of her prose is. It would be more interesting if an infirm oldie were being wheeled in like a wedding cake, rather than the other way 'round, but that's why I'm not on award panels, handing out awards to the usual illustrious humdrum names.

Every year on or around May 18, museums around the world celebrate International Museum Day, a day that focuses on museums and the role they play in our ever-changing society. This year's International Museum Day theme is "Museum and Memory," which reflects beautifully the role of museums. The NCMA's collection—like that of every museum—preserves the memory of cultures and people, past or present. By visiting the permanent collection galleries of West Building, you can discover these cultures and eras, and create your own memories as well.
The NCMA is celebrating International Museum Day on Wednesday, May 18, with free admission to 30 Americans, a superb exhibition presenting the works of contemporary African American artists, and a free screening of Purvis of Overtown, a documentary on contemporary artist Purvis Young, an icon of Black culture whose work is featured in 30 Americans. East Building will be open until 8 pm for those attending the screening and visiting 30 Americans.
This year during International Museum Day a special focus is also placed on Africa and highlighting its important cultural contributions to the world. Come celebrate International Museum Day and African heritage at the NCMA on May 18! Visit the African collection in West Building until 5 pm (and as the NCMA's unofficial spokesperson for IMD, I can make a shameless plug for my own galleries—Egypt is in Africa, so take a look at the ancient Egyptian galleries as well and marvel at the long history and cultural diversity of this fascinating continent).
Happy International Museum Day to all!
In honor of this year's theme "Museum and Memory," we want to hear about your most memorable NCMA experience. Share a story or a photo on our Facebook wall by May 18 and we'll randomly select one person to win an NCMA prize pack.

LoveBase™ is a sex-positive, body-friendly space, in which we create a loving and safe atmosphere. We are currently transitioning from a workhsop driven place to an online sex school. You can find some videos already in the German Blog, more to come in the second half of 2014.
Practical, clear and down-to-earth Sex Education - free from porno clichés, kitsch and incense sticks!
2012 the LoveBase™ started out as a heart-based and holistic space where people could learn about love and sexuality, whilst being practical, clear and down-to-earth - free from porno clichés, kitsch and incense sticks!
We create a loving and respectful atmosphere in which our participants experience the potential of love and sexuality in its most positive sense. In all of our events certain house rules apply - such as "touch requires permission" and "Yes, means Yes, No means No". These choices are always respected!
This sounded like a nice idea - but did not work out.
So now the LoveBase is changing. Yella Cremer, the founder of the LoveBase, started to write books and recorded a DVD in 2013.
She plans to turn this website into an online Sex school and wants to offer English spoken one courses and videos as well. Stay tuned!
In the meantime you can subscribe to our mailinglist and get automatic updates on what's happening next. Feel free to join us on Facebook as well where we share English spoken Events from other people from time to time.

Yes, because no-one would change a word or two in their post or do variations on the spelling. Yay, we get to have another lameness-filter style arms race, that'll improve the quality of the posts.
Maybe we should have a "-1 hate crime" mod, and the overlords can determine what to do with it. As it is, I only see myself or other mods pushing it down, thus wasting one of my mod points whereas I can be modding someone "+1 interesting" instead.

Re:A Clockwork Orange (721 comments)
I doubt it, they don't want to repel the "olds".
A local coffee shop has done this for years. They're a little too close to the high school for comfort, so they installed a speaker outside playing classical/light jazz.
The people who actually want to buy coffee don't mind the music, and now they don't have to elbow their way thru clumps of teenagers standing in front of the door.
I'm not so happy about using it in detention, but I'm sure if I was a high school teacher I'd flip out and strangled someone on the first week, so I probably shouldn't throw stones.
