Still, some observers of the world's fussiest professional sport wanted to put an asterisk next to last Friday's win: Seles's only real rival at the top of the tennis heap, German star Steffi Graf, was injured and had to pass up the chance to win her fifth Australian.
That's not the real news: The Aussies were damn lucky that any of the women showed up.
Last fall the event's organizers, an outfit called Tennis Australia, announced that after more than a decade of equal pay for men and women, it was reneging on that policy: Of the Open's record $6.2 million in prize money, $390,000 more went to the boys this year. In October angry female players discussed a possible boycott but rejected the idea as divisive, as bad imagery for a game that has already taken its share of knocks in recent years. The Jennifer Capriati incidents. Mary Pierce's nutjob father. Martina Navratilova's retirement.
Too bad the players backed off. Strange as it sounds, a strike may be just what tennis needs to shake up its entrenched old order.
In trying to justify gender inequity, the Australians pointed to lower ticket sales and TV ratings for the women's half of the tournament. But that, odious as it sounds, wasn't the only reason Tennis Australia decided to shortchange the women. Last year the ATP Tour and tennis's powerful Grand Slam Committee cut a deal for men only: The committee promised to offer twice as many world-ranking points for male players' performance in the sport's four Grand Slam tournaments (Australian, French, Wimbledon and U.S. Open) as it did for the so-called Super 9 events (the second rank of tournaments)--so long as the Slams would offer twice the prize money of the Super 9s. That put Tennis Australia in a little financial bind, and the women wound up paying the tab.
That's not all. After their angry meeting, top players Seles, Graf, Pierce, Arantxa Sanchez Vicario and a dozen others sent a letter of strong protest to Tennis Australia but pledged not to boycott--for what they saw as the good of the game. Citing the recent baseball and hockey strikes in the U.S., they said they would desist--this time. The low-down response from Down Under? A press release implying that everything was cool down in the slave cabins: There was no problem at the Open, and the women were happy with their unequal prize money.
One of the ironies here is that the Aussies, of all people, can least afford to alienate anyone in tennis. Once they were world-beaters, producing great champions like Rod Laver, Ken Rosewall, Margaret Court and Evonne Goolagong. But Australia said g'day to tennis domination way back in the 1970s: John Newcombe was their last real ace, and he said in an interview last week that kids in his country, bereft of local tennis heroes, now find other sports more appealing.
At Flinders Park last week, the Aussies had one moment in the sun when little-known Mark Philippoussis knocked number-one seed Pete Sampras out of the tournament with a blistering serve (29 aces) and crisp volleys. Forty-eight hours later, though, Australia's new hero was eliminated himself--by the world's 67th-ranked player. The local game promptly went back into its long slumber, and everybody hit the bar for a Foster's.
In the wake of the Australian Open snub, the touring women remain worried. Activist/ player Pam Shriver, for one, wonders if the other Grand Slam events will now also cut back their female paydays to make weight for the men. No one's talking, but if it happens, there really could be a players' strike. And why not? The prospect of a renewed Monica Seles/Steffi Graf rivalry in 1996 and beyond is a heady one, and developing stars like Chanda Rubin, Martina Hingis and Venus Williams are giving women's tennis a much-needed transfusion of new blood. But if the game's premier tournaments decide to turn half their participants back into second-class citizens, why consent to play ball?
Elsewhere in the Theater of the Absurd, O.J. Simpson finally sat last week for his long-awaited TV interview. It was a performance more ludicrous than the crudest racist could have imagined. As a running back for Southern Cal and the Buffalo Bills, Simpson used to be gloriously elusive; as an acquitted murder defendant still feeling plenty of pressure from a civil suit, he's an artless dodger. Last Wednesday night his evasions were clumsy, his self-promotion flagrant, his inflated ballplayer ego everywhere apparent. But he got what he wanted.
By the way, those racially divergent opinions on the O.J. verdict are not relevant here: When a man says he will do a no-holds-barred interview, then sidesteps the few challenging questions by referring the questioner to the contents of his $29.95 videotape, it no longer matters whether you think he's innocent or guilty of murder.

Had a nice time visiting rose friends and looking at the garden. Often when I visit a garden, I study roses that I have only heard about but never seen. When I visit the Heritage, I study roses that whose names are totally unfamiliar. I never get through more than a fraction of the garden but come home with my head stuffed full of roses. Jeri, Jill Perry, Rosefolly, Paul Zimmerman and Cliff Orent were among the people whom I got to see. Like many of the roses, I knew Paul and Cliff by name but had never met them - what a treat! |
I didn't get around the garden because I was fighting a miserable cold. But I had a great time selling roses, and seeing friends. Then, we came home to far greater heat than we saw up there! But I was REALLY happy to see Cliff Orent. And I helped him pick out roses for his new garden! SUCH HAPPINESS! Jeri |

USDA Rural Development administers a water and wastewater loan and grant program to improve the quality of life and promote economic development in rural America. This assistance is available through Rural Development's Rural Utilities programs.
Direct Loans
Offered to develop water and wastewater systems, including solid waste disposal and storm drainage, in rural areas and in cities and towns with a population of 10,000 or less. Funds are available to public entities such as municipalities, counties, special-purpose districts, and Indian tribes. In addition, funds may be made available to corporations operated on a not-for-profit
Priority is given to public entities, in areas with less than 5,500 people, to restore a deteriorating water supply, or to improve, enlarge, or modify a water facility or an inadequate waste facility. Also, preference is given to requests which involve the merging of small facilities and those serving low-income communities.
Applicants must be unable to obtain funds from other sources at reasonable rates and terms. The maximum term for all loans is 40 years; however, no repayment period will exceed state statutes or the useful life of the facility. Interest rates are adjusted quarterly and may be obtained from any Rural Development office.
Guaranteed Loans
Available for the same purpose as direct loans. Guaranteed loans are made and serviced by lenders such as banks and savings and loan associations. Normally, guarantees do not exceed 90 percent on any loss of interest and principal on the loan.
Reduce water and waste disposal costs to a reasonable level for users of the system. Grants are made, in some instances, for up to 75 percent of eligible project costs. Eligibility requirements are the same as for direct loans.
Made to private nonprofit organizations to provide technical assistance and/or training to associations located in rural areas and to cities and towns with a population of 10,000 or less.
Grant assistance is available to qualified applicants to identify and evaluate solutions to water and waste disposal problems, to improve the operation and maintenance of existing water and waste disposal facilities, and to assist associations in preparing applications for water and waste disposal facilities.
Made to public and private nonprofit organizations to provide technical assistance and/or training to associations located in rural areas and to cities and towns with a population of 10,000 or less.
Grant assistance must be used to reduce or eliminate pollution of water resources, and/or to improve planning and management of solid waste facilities.
Grants are made to enhance operator skills in operations and maintenance, identify threats to water resources, and reduce the solid waste stream.
Provides on-site technical assistance to help assure cost-effective operation of rural water systems. USDA Rural Development Circuit Rider can provide assistance with day-to-day operational, financial and management problems.
The assistance is available at no charge and may be requested by officials of rural water systems or by Rural Development personnel. It complements supervisory assistance provided by Rural Development personnel.
Information about the Water and Environmental Programs and advice on how to assemble information to determine engineering feasibility, economic soundness, cost estimates, organization, financing and management matters, may be obtained from Rural Development field offices.

Patterns of Interaction:a Pattern Language for CSCW |
Pattern: Collaboration in Small GroupsEssence of the Pattern:This pattern is concerned with the manner in which small, collocated groups carrying out various activities, collaborate to achieve them. It draws attention to the way in which collaboration is facilitated by seating arrangements and various artefacts. Artefacts may be shared applications delivered to individual team members via their own terminal or may be publicly available. Practices for collaboration vary according to the specific set up. Collaboration may be very tightly coupled (as in London Underground control) and rely on overhearing and overseeing one another's moves or may be more loose and ad hoc and achieved more through technology as in the other situations. In all these situations, the arrangement promotes collaboration, which is important in achieving the work. For example, in dealing with complex situations, tightly coordinating one activity to another, sharing knowledge, and providing continuity and consistency in the way things are done. Design For DependabilityWhy Useful? Small collocated groups of this form have a number of potential benefits stemming from the fact that teamwork is promoted. This allows for group knowledge and expertise to be shared and monitoring and checking to occur as the work is produced. It also promotes tighter coordination between workers dealing with inter-related tasks and makes it more likely that activities will be dealt with in a consistent way. This is because group practices are likely to develop and the actor who previously dealt with a case, or has handled a similar case is always likely to be on hand. The nature of the group also provides for some redundancy in the system. Where Used? This pattern has been described in three settings so far. The focus is on detailing the nature of collaboration for small, collocated groups of workers (2-6 actors), in a variety of settings. The examples presented come from control rooms and a bank software help desk. This pattern is illustrated with vignettes from the following field work:
Design implications? Seating arrangements, shared artefacts (e.g. public artefact) and so forth promote forms of teamwork amongst groups engaging in tightly coupled or shared activities. Design involves selecting the group size, arrangement and deciding on the layout and placement of artefacts to support or facilitate specific activities. For example, in situations where workers can oversee and overhear one another's work this provides for opportunities to collaborate on tasks through talk but even through a minimum of direct interaction. Sharing of group knowledge, expertise and experience is promoted in such settings. Such arrangements also provide for monitoring and checking of activities as they are carried out. When considering supporting such activities in a distributed setting this implies the requirement to provide extra contextual information on individual activities through, for example, CSCW tools. These may be designed to provide real-time updating of information from distributed workers that demonstrates their activities. Furthermore, supporting on-going communication between workers through, for example audio and /or video channels, may be important if teamwork is to be promoted. |

Article of the Day: Week 2 Observations – Razzball.com
Posted by Rob Warner in SPIN Articles No Comments »
As the final gun sounded on the Arizona upset in Foxboro, many suicide pool contestants and Aaron Hernandez owners might have considered turning the water pistol on themselves. Today we present the always witty and informative musings from Razzball.com that dives deep into week 2 to divulge all the fantasy ramifications you can handle.
Hernandez will likely miss a minimum of the 4 weeks with a high ankle sprain but his loss could be Wes Welker (and more importantly his fantasy owners) gain – much to the chagrin of the Pats frugal management that refuses to Pay the PPR monster the Money. Speaking of guys that caught a lot of balls on Sunday, Danny Amendola lapsed into beast mode and emerged as the Rams go to weapon once S-Jax's balky groin conveniently started hurting right after a benching from Jeff Fisher and his Mustache.
Ahmad Bradshaw is yet another RB that left his fantasy owner's scratching their heads after a sprained neck opened the door for Andre Brown (not butterfingers David Wilson) to dominate backfield touches making Brown the likely candidate for the Ogletree of the Week Award.
As for the week 2 stars that should be considered sell high candidates, look no further than Andy Dalton, Dwayne Bowe and Brent Celek as all three may have tallied their best 2012 production this past Sunday.

The Whitney Water Purification Facility and Park (New Haven, CT) designed by Steven Holl Architects has been chosen as one of the Top Ten Green projects for 2007 by the American Institute of Architects' Committee on the Environment (AIA/COTE). Throughout the year the facility will be viewed as an exemplar of the standards and goals for sustainable design and construction. The Whitney Water Purification Facility and Park was completed in 2005 and provides an abundant water supply to south central Connecticut, creates a vibrant watershed ecosystem, and includes a public park while providing a diverse habitat and sanctuary for migrating species of birds. The facility features the largest green roof in Connecticut (30,000 square feet), zero off-site storm water discharge, expanded wetlands for biodiversity, and is heated and cooled by eightyeight geothermal wells. The striking design fuses architecture with landscape to form a public park. Water purification facilities are located beneath the park, while the operational programs rise up in a 360-foot-long stainless steel sliver that expresses the workings of the plant below and forms a reflective horizon line in the landscape. In 2005 the Whitney Water Purification Facility and Park was awarded an Honor Award by the New York Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, and in 2001 it was the only American design to receive the Van Alen Institute Award in the International Projects in Public Architecture Competition. Steven Holl Architects emphasizes sustainable building and site development as fundamental to innovative and imaginative design. Incorporating green roofs, double walls, and advanced mechanical systems, Steven Holl Architects constructed the New Residence at the Swiss Embassy according to Swiss "Minergie Standards," higher standards than the U.S. Council for Green Building's LEED standards for minimal energy consumption. In Beijing, the firm's 200,000- square-meter Linked Hybrid complex is heated and cooled by a 660-well geothermal energy system, the largest residential geothermal system in the world, and employs green roofs and a separate grey water system. The design for the Vanke Center (Shenzhen, China) is a vision of tropical sustainability for the 21st century, employing renewable energy such as solar power and geothermal cooling.

ITV News press release
Today the latest Index poll conducted by ComRes for ITV News at Ten reveals that the majority (65%) of the British public believe that the Government should currently be focusing on promoting economic growth rather than keeping inflation low (25%). One in ten (10%) do not know.
Women are slightly more likely than men to favour keeping inflation low (27% compared with 22% respectively). People in the younger age groups are more likely than those in the older age groups to think that the Government should prioritise keeping inflation low: 34% of those aged 18 to 24 say that they should prioritise this, compared to 15% among those aged 65 and over.
The latest results also show that nearly two in five (37%) currently believe that the way the Government is going about cutting public spending is fair. This is the highest recorded score since we asked this question in October 2010, when the figure stood at 40%.

As you're reading this, as your Champions for a Drug Free Carroll County Coordinator, I'm with assistant coordinator Kimberly Fain finishing up our last day of Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America training. CADCA hosts an annual mid-year training institute for coalitions all across America and even some from other countries. As you all know, Champions Coalition in Carroll County is not the only organization that cares about diminishing drugs in their communities.
When it comes to budgets, there is one big difference between the federal government and the states: The states balance theirs at the end of the fiscal year.
It can be a difficult task, especially when the economy is down. Kentucky and nearly 20 other states have an added challenge as well, because they approve their budgets in two-year increments. In our case, that means we have to peer more than 30 months into the future before determining how much money is expected to be available.
Hello once again, my friends. I'm here typing this article on another warm, sunny day.
Alright, I admit, it's only warm and sunny because it's 8 a.m. Hot and sunny would be a more accurate description. Oh well, its July, so I guess we are getting what we should expect. No matter how hot it gets, I never stop thinking about food.
In the past few articles I've touched a little on grilling. Summer is grilling season, so I thought I would expound on that a bit.
(Editor's note: This letter was in response to one published last week from Dan Carraco and Carol Teach.)
Thank you for your letter regarding harvesting operations at General Butler State Resort Park and your concern for the condition of the park. Every decision that is made regarding the park is made in an effort to protect and enhance the natural environment and our guest experience.
Our athletic year for Carroll County Special Olympics, fall 2013-summer 2014, was again a very successful year.
Our bowling season began in late August 2013 with practices weekly at Strikers in Vevay. We owe a very big thank you to Bruce, for opening up for the hours we needed. For our area competition, we had 11 athletes, and it took place in late October in Louisville, but alas, the State Games were cancelled due to a bad snowstorm, which struck the region Dec. 6. Everyone was disappointed.
An entrepreneur from Dayton, Ohio, at one time envisioned building a railroad line that would have extended from Ghent, Ky., to Savannah, Ga.
Albert E. Boone, an indirect relative of Kentucky explorer Daniel Boone, was born Nov. 18, 1845, in Dayton, where he was educated and, at 16, enlisted in Co. I, 84th Ohio Volunteer Infantry at the start of the Civil War.
According to "West Virginia and its People," published in 1913, Boone eventually rose to the rank of colonel during his Army career.
For the people who shoot off their own fireworks, I know you got complaints. I want to give you a big thank you. I enjoyed watching from my home. There are several reasons I couldn't go to the Point, including my health, transportation, etc. I'm sure there are others who feel the same way.

Yesterday, when the new SoR was available, my friend sent one to a trial account he had made a while back for the purposes of RaF multi-boxing. He had never spent money on the account, and never plans to buy a subscription for it. He used the SoR to boost the only character on his account, a level 12 warlock, to 80, and plans to then use the $25 to account-transfer the character. My questions: Isn't this, sort of, buying a new character? And is this anything near bannable? I can see Blizzard saying that it isn't being used as intended.

Team Fortress 2 Free2BeKicked mod creator speaks on F2P transition {Joystiq}
Jul 7th 2011 11:17PM I don't really get how the free-to-play people can demand that Valve ban the mod, such as they're doing. I mean, it's like, what are they gonna do, spend less money than free? Boycot it? They don't really hold any leeway.
Nintendo brings 3DS game demos, big AR Cards to Warped Tour {Joystiq}
Jun 27th 2011 10:13PM They're using the Warped Tour now? Anyone remember the Nintendo Fusion Tour? I guess that just wasn't profitable for them. Too bad, that's where I first played a Wii and saw some pretty okay bands.
Diamonds are forever, and so are Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D save files {Joystiq}
Jun 26th 2011 11:01AM I wish they would put game saves on the SD card instead. It just seems like that would leave them more room on the cartridge to put game stuff, and then you wouldn't have to worry about non-erasable data. But I can see why they're sticking with On-cartridge save data.

Shifting Perspectives: Why (or why not) to play a night elf druid {WoW}
Nov 2nd 2010 6:43PM See, that's all well and good about what Nethaera said back in 2006, but then Blizzard went and added in http://www.wowhead.com/npc=30381#comments (Xarantaur, the witness), who says "I was one of the first tauren druids, of the last generation taught by Shan'do Cenarius, before the legion, before the sundering, when the world was still young. Before everything changed."
Which implies that there were Tauren druids before him, and well before the Sundering, while Malfurion only began to learn Druidism a few weeks before the Sundering. He goes on to say that Cenarius left the Tauren and they began to forget Druidism, which may lead to the discrepancy between who learned it first.
Blizzard's rewritten lore before. Not saying this definitely means Tauren were the first, but it makes a good argument.

I agree with the review before mine...
I got not one, but two tubes of this as part of a pretty good deal, since it's not available where I live. I was fairly satisfied with the product the first couple of times I used it. However, it became very dry, clumpy, and thick after a couple of months. I don't use the applicator (since I find the technique of smearing a layer of mascara onto a metal lash comb and using that a highly effective way of lengthening and separating lashes), but the product looks quite scary on it!
All in all, I can't recommend this mascara to others, and I'm now on the hunt for a good mascara to use with my lash comb!
This mascara is really confusing to me. After hearing all the hype about it, I decided to give it a try. With a $2 price tag, what did I have to lose right? At first impression, this mascara was wonderful, and gave me great volume and length with a nice black color. Within only about a week of using it however, the packaging completely cracked apart. I never dropped it or anything, so I leave it to poor package quality. While it looks good on the lashes, it is very annoying to get off, even with makeup remover, yet somehow it streaks a lot with any contact with water. I had really high hopes for this mascara, but I guess you get what you pay for
I love this mascara. It's nice and black, goes on smooth, and doesn't clump as long as you don't put on a zillion coats. I use two coats and my eyelashes look exactly like I want them to.
As for getting it off, it was a little difficult until I figured out a trick. I wet a wash cloth with warm water, don't wring it out. and hold the cloth over my eye lashes for a moment. The heat and the water loosens the mascara. I gently wipe at my lashes a few times before I apply coconut oil to my entire face, eyes included. Sure I get black smears all over my face but I just wash it off with the cloth. No other soap or makeup remover works better than coconut oil.

When I first got this, I was so excited to try it because of all the amazing reviews I had seen. When I tried it for the first time, at first it made my lashes look amazing and fluttery, but then after 30 seconds, my eyelashes fell straight down. So unfortunately, if your eyelashes are not usually able to hold a curl, this won't work that well for you. It also smudges and flakes like crazy.
I like this mascara quite a bit. I've bought a few tubes, I won't repurchase for awhile though since right now I have allergies so it's flaking and smudging a bit. For the price it's a great mascara, I never repurchase mascara but I've bought several tubes of this. I'll buy it again in the winter.

This was a nice surprise... gave me some nice volume but not so much length though... It is a volumizing mascara after all. My search continues...

I was amazed with this mascara. It's only $3 but doesn't lack in quality. It's more volumizing than Loreal voluminous & Maybelline full n soft. The color is very black BUT in sunlight it tends to look a bit grey/dry. It smudges on me, like I've said before, they all do. Overall this is a very good mascara & I will be repurchasing!

I've repurchased this several times, and bought some for my sister because she tried mine and loved it so much. It's fabulous! Volumizing and lengthening! It doesn't clump or flake on me. You can't beat it, especially at 2.99.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Great price for a volumizing mascara that works. The problem is it easily runs and tends to flake after a while, which is irritating to my eyes.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have a love/hate relationship with this mascara. I remember the first time I bought it, I gave it holy grail status - it made my lashes look amazing, full, long, and not clumpy. I went through several tubes of it, completely in love, and then moved on to trying other things because one day my Walgreens was out when I needed mascara.
Last time I needed new mascara, I saw this stuff again and had to snatch it up. Now, I don't know if they changed the formula or something, or if I just don't remember this from before, but it seems like it is a beeyotch to get off at the end of the day! Maybe I just got a weird tube, I don't know. It still makes my lashes look incredible, but it makes them feel hard and crusty and takes ages to get off. Not to mention that I have to wipe of the wand a ton before applying it.
So, I have mixed feelings. I honestly feel like no other mascara makes my lashes look as good, but they feel super crusty and I don't like having to scrub at my eye to get the mascara off. Sigh, I guess I will have to keep looking.

"We're getting a lot closer than we have in the past," said MHSAA associate director Rickey Neaves, after Monday's MHSAA District 1 winter meeting. "I'm gonna say we're 70-75 percent there."
It's so close; next year's games could be played at one of the state's three major universities.
All of the MHSAA championships have been held in the outdated Jackson venue since 1992 - in recent years more and more to the displeasure of many fans, teams and even coaches.
The stadium has seen better days. The new plan - which would have to pass with a majority of votes on the executive committee in February and June - is to rotate the games from year-to-year at Mississippi State University, the University of Mississippi and the University of Southern Mississippi.
"We'll drive to Anchorage, Alaska, if we're in the state championship," Falkner coach Cory Armstrong said.
The talk has gotten really serious in the last two months, Neaves said. Mississippi State seems the favorite to host first, because Ole Miss has the 2014 Egg Bowl and those schools wouldn't host in years when their stadiums were the site of the annual Southeastern Conference rivalry game.
That's how Alabama does its state title games, alternating between Tuscaloosa and Auburn.
"Coaches are for it and, of course, our contract's up with Memorial Stadium," Neaves said. "It's just a process of finishing putting everything together."
Neaves said the MHSAA has had "extensive" talks with officials at all three colleges, and all favor the move.
"It's something that needs to happen," Saltillo coach Pat Byrd said. "I think the other has served its purpose, and I think it would be great for the universities and a great experience for the kids."
The association is also looking at playing the Mississippi-Alabama All-Star Football Classic in Mississippi for the first time at Southern Miss and moving the Mississippi-Alabama All-Star basketball game to Jackson State.

Shangri-La Hotel, Guangzhou has been supporting the development of children at the Little Sun Special Children Recovery Centre for the last three years. The centre is for autistic and deaf children aged 3 to 7 years old. In 2011 efforts were concentrated on installing facilities through the upgrade of the fire safety system, fans, classrooms and exercise rooms. In 2012, focus shifted towards teacher training classes and funding for students from low-income backgrounds to ensure they can continue their education at the recovery centre. Employees visit twice a month to lend support in educational activities and help the children's social development.
Special Education Assistance
As of today, 20 teachers have been sent to professional development courses for further education enhancement. Special education professionals and doctors were invited by the hotel to conduct psychological training for the parents and teachers.
Nurturing Development
The hotel is dedicated to helping families with financial difficulties by fully supporting their children with autism by helping them to continue their studies and recovery treatment. The drop-out rate at Little Sun has reduced by 66% over the last three years.
Community Involvement
The hotel has established a strong volunteer team made up of more than 100 staff members. Besides festive visitations, volunteers join classes twice a month and accompany these children to receive treatments.
Latest News
Shangri-La Hotel, Guangzhou strengthens its cooperation with Johnson Diversey via the EMBRACE project. Late last year, Johnson Diversey helped to install facilities and products in the centre's washrooms and kitchen that enhanced the importance of hygiene. Moreover, they provided training for the children, parents and teachers on the importance of proper personal and food hygiene.
In December 2012, over 280 corporate clients, business partners and media supporters raised a significant amount of funds during Shangri-La Hotel, Guangzhou's Annual Gala Dinner. The money was used to fund a surgery that has now enabled a little girl to hear her parent's voices, which she had never heard before.

Accountants have the technical skills and expertise to make a real difference to climate change mitigation activities, according to businesses and climate change experts in a new report from ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) as COP 17, the latest stage in international efforts to limit human impacts on the environment, gets under way in Durban, South Africa.
'The climate change debate isn't something that accountants can stand by and watch from the sidelines,' says Rachel Jackson, ACCA's head of sustainability. 'Accountants need to take a leadership role when it comes to shaping international climate change mitigation policies. The profession has extensive experience of measuring, reporting, and validation mechanisms, all of which will be vital for any credible action on climate change. The profession must use its expertise to make a positive contribution to the formulation of credible policy frameworks and agreements.'
The latest expert opinion on the role of accountants in the fight against climate change is collated in ACCA's new report 'COP 17 and accountants: where next?' The report contains the thoughts of experts from the worlds of business, including those from Vodafone, Shell, and HSBC, and also from accountancy firms such as Deloitte and PwC, as well as international climate change negotiators.
The experts agreed accountants have a vital role to play in providing attempts at reducing or controlling emissions contributing to climate change. However, they added, the profession needed to develop new knowledge and mechanisms to meet new demands; and reshape its educational curricula and skills requirements to provide the necessary confidence and trust in the capabilities and integrity of the profession.
'Currently there is no reliable way of independently verifying the emissions reductions that some countries or businesses are claiming. This prevents the development of trust in climate change mitigation activities that could dissuade crucial private sector investment,' adds Rachel Jackson. 'The profession has work to do to get to where it needs to be on sustainability accounting, but the profession has been flexible in the past and should rise to this new challenge.'
Our experts also argued that:
- Private enterprise and finance have an important role to play in mitigating climate change. They provide innovation and resources, but they are currently not utilised nor supported enough by the UNFCCC (UN Framework Convention for Climate Change) process.
- Expectations of COP 17 are low, but discussions can still produce small steps needed to reach an eventual more comprehensive agreement.
- Voluntary emissions targets are a necessity without an international, binding agreement but they are not guaranteed credibility, while uncoordinated action may not be enough to avert catastrophic climate change.
- The Kyoto Protocol was a breakthrough agreement, but a flawed one. Its failure to address the future obligations of countries not covered by the agreement has created a political stand-off preventing any new international agreement on emissions reduction.
'The fight against climate change is going to be a collaborative effort,' concludes Rachel Jackson. 'Accountants, countries, and private enterprise and finance will all have a role to play. Private enterprise and finance need to speak up to make sure their concerns, experiences, and innovations are shared, while the UNFCCC process needs to bring private enterprise into the process if it is to meet the goals it has set itself.'
The report can be found in the 'Related Documents' section at the bottom of this press release.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Madge!
Facts about Madge
- Breed: St. Bernard
- Color: Brown/Chocolate - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Madge's Info...
I am already spayed, purebred, and up to date with shots.
Madge is a very large dog, she is a 100 pound St Bernard. Madge is 2 years old and she still has some growing to do, she may put on some more weight as she gets a little older. Madge likes to go for walks as long as they are short ones and not at a fast pace. Madge is spayed and she is current on her vaccines. She is micro-chipped also. Come in and visit with this wonderful dog.
Other Pets at Cascades Humane Society
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Madge, a Jackson St. Bernard dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a St. Bernard for sale in Jackson, or seeking a St. Bernard dog from a breeder in Jackson.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Jackson already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Jackson breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even St. Bernard breeders who help with St. Bernard rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Jackson paves the way for another one to be saved.

There's nothing like a little bit of sun to motivate anglers to get out and fish. The full fleet of Canadian Princess boats hit the waters on Saturday and saw some nice Chinook, Coho, halibut, black rock cod and assorted rockfish caught.
Congratulations to Michael Barret of Oregon who nabbed two halibut just under 50 lbs. His catch was joined by some other nice hali in the 20-40 lb. range. Washington resident Gary Scown caught the largest salmon of the day, a 26 lb. beauty.
Tight lines.

View Full Version :
Sniper rifle zoom problem ?!?
21st Jul 1999, 12:00 PM
I have the 2.1 patch and it ROCKS! But the Sniper rifle will not "un-zoom" unless I fire it first. Is this a glitch or is it supposed to be this way?
21st Jul 1999, 06:53 PM
I think I'll need a more indepth explanation on this one. Which game modes does it occur in? Is your aim style Hold or Toggle? Does it occur for you all the time?
22nd Jul 1999, 09:26 AM
Here it goes...
When I use the sniper rifle zoom funtion it zooms all the way in like it is supposed to. It works if I just click the button once or if I hold it down. If I want to un-zoom, I have to shoot the rifle first. Clicking the button again or releasing the button does not take the zoom off. I am not sure what you mean by aim style though. I am doing this in the INF deathmatch game type.
23rd Jul 1999, 09:11 AM
New update... It is working correctly at home now but my other PC still does not let go of the zoom. I dont know what I did differently.
23rd Jul 1999, 10:25 AM
Stryker: I noticed this too.
It's all about the AIM Style, as Warren says.
In the game, press esc, select go to main menu, and select options.
The second item from the bottom is "Aim Style".
If it's hold you'll get the behavoir you first mentioned.
If it's toggle, it'll un-zoom when you press alt-fire again, without having to fire at all.
23rd Jul 1999, 10:57 AM
Cool! That seems to have worked. I had to start a Classic game to get to that menu though. Is it supposed to show up in Deathmatch? I also noticed that if I set keys for reload, weapon mode, etc. They dont stay set. Is that normal?
23rd Jul 1999, 12:06 PM
Glad that worked for you- thanks SchizoidMan.. In DM mode the aim style and reloading style will always be set to hold and autoreload respectively. This was set so we could allow our weapons to be summoned on any level and still work ok. We didn't spend a great amount of time trying to get it to work with your settings for all three game modes thus you see version 2.1 out 2 days after 2.0.. This is of course in our list of things to fix.
23rd Jul 1999, 01:05 PM
It stopped working again!!! It only seems to work if I run the game server on the same machine I am playing on. If I run the game from my normal game server on the lan it does not let me release the zoom without firing.

"The fundamental truths of God's Word are contained in Mystery of the Ages. But we must realize that some of the peripheral or incidental points it contains give occasion to critics to fault the whole book, as well as inadvertently misleading readers on a few points."—Joseph Tkach Sr. Pastor General's Report, Feb. 14, 1989.
Not surprisingly, Mr. Tkach decided against revising Mystery of the Ages. Bernie Schnippert had the honor of making the first official announcement on Dec. 2, 1988—albeit only to church employees involved in producing and distributing literature. He wrote, "Mr. Tkach decided last June to stop distributing Mystery of the Ages [actually, he placed the book on hold May 13, then discarded the inventory on June 2] because of sections that no longer properly reflected the church's teaching on certain subjects." In actuality, the only specific reason offered in those earlier reports was that it needed to be revised "to better reflect the church's teaching about healing." Now the reasons had broadened to "certain subjects."

Going to Gulfshores,Ala. to meet dh sister & family from
MI. Plan on giving dd birthday party in hotel with nieces that are 9&7 . dd will be 12. What would be some good items for them to hunt for in the hotel room? Thanks Deanna |
Follow-Up Postings:
Besides the obvious tablet, pens, bible, shampoo, and stuff the hotel leaves there; why not plant a few odd items. Like an egg in the plant, or a particular soda in a bathtub filled with ice. On the other hand, maybe you should check with the hotel to see if they allow young girls running around a hotel room looking for items. They may even let you use an empty conference room. |

if it's the hotel room your family has rented, the hotel desk won't care. If it involves the hallways, etc., they will. You could have them look for something in the Yellow Pages. Once you get there, you could add items visible from the windows (a neon "W" from the car dealership across the street, for example). hangers, iron, |

The Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) in Salem, Massachusetts announced today that it has selected US firm Ennead Architects to design its $200m, 175,000 sq ft expansion. Ennead will replace Rick Mather Architects of London which completed the first phase of the project. After Mather's untimely death this spring, the museum decided not to move forward with the UK practice as Mather himself had been intensely involved in the project and amid concerns for the firm's size, which has 15 architects on staff.
With 125 architects on its staff and the successful completion of such highly lauded cultural projects as the recent expansion and renovation of the Yale University Art Gallery in nearby Connecticut, the Natural History Museum in Utah, and the William J. Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock, Arkansas, Ennead comes to the project with the resume PEM was looking for.
"Ennead Architects impressed us with their creative dexterity, in-depth understanding of our institution and thoughtful design solutions for the museum's complex architectural program. We feel confident they will create a building that will serve the museum well into the future", said Dan Monroe, PEM's Rose-Marie and Eijk van Otterloo Director and CEO.
The Mather-led first phase of the project, which included master planning and renovation of the Dodge wing, will reopen in October with a new expanded Art and Nature Center. Ennead's charge will be the design of 75,000 sq ft of new gallery space, public program and education spaces, a restaurant and essential improvements to the museum's collection, conservations and exhibition processing areas. Groundbreaking for the new wing is to commence in 2015 with the opening slated for 2019.
"PEM's expansion presents an exciting design challenge and an opportunity to reimagine one of the oldest and fastest-growing museums in the country," said Ennead design partner Richard Olcott. "We are committed to creating a design that functionally integrates the museum's existing campus with a bold new vision that enhances the museum both aesthetically and experientially."

People in seventeenth-century England were captivated by stories about unusual or sensational events. From stormy weather to conjoined twins, murder, atrocities, and supernatural tales, these "news" pamphlets provided both entertainment and education. Beware of the devil, avoid temptation and be a good Christian and all will be well … or so they believed.
True crime stories, especially tales of murder instigated by the devil, were the stuff of bestselling pamphlets. Descriptive, lengthy titles and vivid illustrations were blazoned on the title page. Such publications usually followed immediately after a trial, when all the details had been revealed and the punishment (execution) carried out.
But tabloid stories weren't limited to the grisly details of murders. Unusual occurrences and physical abnormalities provided rich fodder for sensational and popular news stories. In the case of Strange Newes of a Prodigious Monster, expert testimony was sought to authenticate the reporting of the birth of conjoined twins. The title page prominently notes that a preacher with a Bachelor of Divinity could attest to the accuracy of the news.
One could read the weekly report of deaths in London–and their causes. Not every death seems explicable to modern eyes: two perished by "evil," "suddenly" accounted for one poor soul, and nineteen died as a result of "teeth," presumably from infection.
Strange weather was yet another newsworthy event. England was devastated by storms during the winter of 1612–13. But why? Unlike the complex scientific calculations which meteorologists undertake to predict the weather today, the author of the above pamphlet found the answer in the sinful behavior of the people. God's punishment for immoral conduct included hundreds of ships lost, whole villages flooded, and goods swept away.
Many radical social and religious groups sprang up in the turbulent times in England after the Civil Wars of the 1640s and the execution of the monarch in 1649. One such group, the Ranters, who were much feared and reviled, was alleged to have believed in nudity, free love, and wife-swapping, as well as many other "ungodly" practices. One pamphlet gives prominent status to their myriad sins–including gluttony and dancing.

WARM SPRINGS, Ore. (AP) - A wildfire more than 15 square miles large forced the evacuation of an Oregon resort over the weekend and caused road closures.
KTVZ reports that the fire on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation raced across rangeland over the weekend, aided by hot temperatures and wind. On Sunday, the fire threatened the Kah-Nee-Ta resort.
The Oregonian reports more than 350 firefighters are on the ground combating the blaze, which investigators suspect it was human-caused. The fire prompted an overnight evacuation of 200 people but they have been allowed to return home Sunday.
Assistant fire management officer William Williams told KTVZ that the Indian Head Casino, U.S. Highway 26, and the town of Warm Springs were not in danger. He says the highway is fully operational for drivers.

Dr. Pamela Richardson, Westminster College associate professor of mathematics, attended the Bridges Conference, a conference focused on the intersections of mathematics and the arts, in Enschede, The Netherlands from July 27-31, 2013. Participants included professional mathematicians, computer scientists, software engineers, artists, sculptors, filmmakers, etc.
While at the conference, Dr. Richardson attended sessions on nanotechnology, structural chemistry, architecture, symmetry, tilings, and origami; she also participated in workshops on weaving Mobius bands, using stencils to demonstrate glide reflections, and creating fractal wall hangings.
Dr. Richardson also participated in the conference's Experimental Theatre session, in which a group of invited participants and additional volunteers staged a reading of a full play, with minimal sets and costumes. This year's performance was Half Life, a play by Canadian playwright John Mighton that is a touching exploration of the human memory with accents of mathematics and computer science throughout. Dr. Richardson was both an actor in the company and the stage manager.
Evening conference activities attended by Dr. Richardson included a short film festival, a juried art gallery show, formal and informal music performances, the theatre session, and a mime show; all of these sessions had mathematical components.
According to Richardson, the conference was an extremely beneficial experience: "I hope to attend this conference again in the future, and I hope that I can involve more people from Westminster. It is a genuinely interdisciplinary event."

[1420] G-CSF-R (CD114) Expression Patterns in Normal and Malignant Hematopoiesis: Recurring Phenotypic Abnormalities in Myelodysplasia and Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia
Vidya S Hanumanthu, Samuel J Pirruccello. UNMC, Omaha, NE
Background: Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and myeloproliferative disorders arise from genetic alterations affecting hematopoietic precursor proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. We demonstrated that diagnostic flow cytometric abnormalities of myeloblast stem cell factor receptor (CD117) density are present at high frequency in MDS. We hypothesized that expression abnormalities of other growth factor receptors would also be present in these disorders.
Design: We characterized granulocyte colony stimulating factor receptor (G-CSF-R/CD114) expression in 22 normal bone marrows, 39 cases of MDS and 6 cases of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). The antibody cocktail CD33-FITC/CD114-PE/CD34-ECD/CD117-PC5/CD45-PC7 was evaluated on each specimen and 50,000 events were collected on a Beckman Coulter FC500. Off-line analysis was performed using Beckman Coulter CXP and Kaluza software packages. CD114 expression density and timing was evaluated on; early myeloblasts (CD33-, CD34+, CD117+), late myeloblasts (CD33+, CD34+, CD117+), promyelocytes (CD33+, CD34-, CD117+) and granulocytes (CD33+, CD34-, CD117-, high side scatter).
Results: Acquisition of myeloblast CD114 parallels CD33 with peak expression density at the promyelocyte stage. Mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of CD114 in the normal samples was 0.7±0.1, 2.4±0.5, 3.7±0.6 and 1.2±0.2 for early blasts, late blasts, promyelocytes and granulocytes, respectively. For the 28 MDS cases which retained CD33 expression, the MFI values were 0.7±0.2, 2.5±2.5, 3.1±0.1 and 1.6±0.2 for the same differentiation stages. We found CD114 expression on 26.7±5.7% of normal myeloblasts and 34±19% of MDS myeloblasts. Four recurring phenotypic patterns were observed in the MDS cases; decreased or absent CD33 expression (11 cases), delayed acquisition of myeloblast CD114 expression (10 cases), premature acquisition of myeloblast CD114 expression (5 cases) and no discernible differences in the timing of CD114 expression (13 cases). In the CML cases we identified a specific, recurring myeloblast maturation abnormality. The CML myeloblasts exhibit peak expression density for CD33 and CD34 simultaneously on the same myeloblast subset. CD114 acquisition on this subset is then accompanied by loss of CD34. The CD33/CD34 dysmaturation abnormality was confirmed in 6 additional historical cases of CML.
Conclusions: Abnormalities in the timing of myeloblast CD114 acquisition are common in MDS. A diagnostic dysmaturation abnormality involving the timing of myeloblast CD33, CD34 and CD114 expression is present in CML.

Anne's publishing career began with The Cater Street Hangman. Published in 1979, this was the first book in the series to feature the Victorian policeman Thomas Pitt and his well-born wife Charlotte. It was filmed and broadcast on ITV featuring a young Keeley Hawes. This is arguably the longest sustained crime series by a living writer. Death On Blackheath is the latest in the series, and appeared in the New York Times Bestseller list.
In 1990, Anne started a second series of detective novels with The Face of a Stranger. These are set about 35 years before and features the private detective William Monk and volatile nurse Hester Latterly. The most recent of these (20th in the series) is Blood On The Water (April 2014).
Anne won an Edgar award in 2000 with her short story "Heroes". The main character in the story features in an ambitious five-book series set during the First World War. These are being re-published internationally, starting in 2014.
None of her books has ever been out of print, and they have received critical acclaim and huge popular success: over 26 million books are in print world-wide. Her books have appeared on bestseller lists in a number of foreign countries, where she has also had excellent reviews. The Times selected her as one of the 20th Century's "100 Masters of Crime".
Anne's most recent stand-alone is The Sheen on the Silk, set in the exotic and dangerous world of the Byzantine Empire, and is a critical success.
Moving into a different area, Anne has responded to requests for workshops and teaching by producing her first 'how to write' instructional DVD "Put Your Heart On The Page" and her much loved tote bags which also carry that slogan. Both items are now available to buy direct from her website. Put Your Heart On The Page: An Introduction to Writing is available in the US and Canada through Dreamscape and through Amazon: http://amzn.to/1sqyziM. The second in this popular series is Put Your Heart On The Page: Plotting To Enrich Your Back Story and will be available later in 2015.
Anne is now represented in America by Penguin Random House Speakers Agency:http://www.prhspeakers.com/speaker/anne-perry/

Cougars have clear goal: a return to postseason
Washington State coach June Daugherty says she expects her team to play in the NCAA tournament, something the Cougars haven't done since 1991.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Five keys
Who'll fill the hole in the middle?
Graduated center Carly Noyes set WSU records in career blocks (158) and games started (119). Junior Shalie Dheensaw or incoming freshman Ivana Kmetovska of Macedonia could fill the void, but neither is experienced. Dheensaw, 6 feet 4, averaged 2.7 points and 3.2 rebounds off the bench last season.
Can WSU break the mold?
WSU has toppled ranked opponents and made runs in the Pac-12 tournament but hasn't found consistency. The Cougs will need it in order to return to the postseason for the first time since an NCAA berth in 1991.
How will it run?
WSU's offense is designed to run. Sophomore point guards Dawnyelle Awa and Alexas Williamson are competing for the responsibility to get the team moving.
Will Tia Presley finish?
The junior has an odd stat. Presley is entering her third season but has never played in the conference tournament due to injuries her first two years. WSU can't afford to lose her again.
Can they improve from long range?
WSU shot a Pac-12-worst 25 percent from three-point range. That needs to improve, given its lack of size inside.
Jayda Evans
Schedule highlights
Nov. 12, at Seattle U: WSU will play three of the state's five Division I programs, facing SU for the first time since 1986. The Redhawks are the defending Western Athletic Conference regular-season champions.
Nov. 15, at Hawaii: Guards Dawnyelle Awa and Lia Galdeira will be tour guides around their native state when WSU plays in the Rainbow Wahine Classic. The sophomore duo starred at Konawaena High.
Nov. 30, at Nebraska: The rematch against the No. 17 Huskers is the first of six against preseason top 25 teams. Along with conference opponents No. 3 Stanford, No. 9 California and No. 19 Colorado, WSU plays at No. 14 Dayton and hosts No. 25 Gonzaga.
Dec. 21, vs. Gonzaga: The Cougs overcame a 14-point deficit to upset the Zags in 2012 before a sold-out crowd at McCarthey Athletic Center last season. A similar display would be nice with the home crowd.
Jayda Evans
June Daugherty has the moxie to try to sell oceanfront property in Pullman in the middle of winter.
But Daugherty's bold declaration that her Washington State women's basketball team will return to the postseason isn't about creating excitement for the season. It's the next step in her seven-year push to overhaul the Pac-12's former doormat.
"It's overdue, and it's time to get this program back there," Daugherty says of a postseason berth. WSU hasn't made an appearance in any postseason tournament since an NCAA berth in 1991.
"I feel very confident that we will do that this year," Daugherty said.
The Cougars have a star player who could make it happen. Hawaiian sophomore Lia Galdeira made a splashy college debut, finishing as the country's second-leading scorer among freshmen (14.8 points a game). But WSU's season fizzled in the Pac-12 tournament.
Galdeira, a 5-foot-11 guard, scored 12 points in the second half of an ugly 48-41 win against Arizona State in the conference tournament opener. The Cougars' season ended with a 79-60 loss to Stanford at KeyArena as Daugherty made headlines by returning from appendix surgery.
Instead of her standard summer workout, Galdeira was invited to try out for USA Basketball's team that competed in the FIBA U-19 World Championships. Galdeira didn't make the team, but returned with a revamped list of where she needed to improve to compete on the national level.
"She knows where her weaknesses lie from a tryout like that, and she has been nothing but focused since being cut from the USA team," Daugherty said. Washington freshman Kelsey Plum was selected. "Lia's in the gym all the time. But she's in the gym with a whole different renewed sense of purpose to really work on those weaknesses. And I've seen a vast amount of improvement."
The altered focus coincided with Daugherty moving Galdeira to the wing with 5-9 junior guard Tia Presley, who is returning from a knee injury. Presley suffered her injury midway through Pac-12 play.
Presley, who injured her foot late in her freshman season, is entering her third season as the only returner without Pac-12 tournament experience.
"I don't want to be a typical, 'Oh, she tore her ACL, that's why she isn't good anymore,' " Presley said. "I want to stay at the top of the pack, so I did all that I could. And I'm probably faster and stronger than I was before."
Presley will drop the point-guard role to play her natural shooting-guard position. Galdeira's former high-school teammate, sophomore Dawnyelle Awa, is expected to run an offense based on scoring in transition.
"It was a slap in the face to be ranked ninth," Presley said of the preseason outlook by conference coaches. WSU is predicted to finish 10th in the Pac-12 preseason media poll.
"It was eye-opening for some of the people on our team," Presley said. "We have pretty much the same team returning (losing one starter), so we should be pretty good. We thought we would be higher up there. We'll just have to go out there and prove them wrong."
No longer shy with media, Galdeira echoes her coach's confidence after experiencing the tweaks in preseason workouts and WSU's tour playing four international teams in Europe last summer.
Although Presley didn't play overseas while she rehabbed her knee, she traveled with the team that includes only one freshman. The Cougars had six new faces on a team that finished eighth in the conference, 11-20 overall last year.
"We have a better feel for each other and built a great bond there (Europe)," Galdeira said. "Now it's all put together. Dawn reads the court very well and it's just going to be me and Tia on the wings and we're just gonna run up and down, nonstop.
"You probably can't describe it, that's how much fun it's going to be. The audience and fans will see. I'll make them feel like they're out there running with us."
The finish line hopefully being in the postseason.
