Su Hawk steps down as president of Colorado Technology Association
Posted By Andy Vuong On January 8, 2012 @ 9:02 am In Technology | 3 Comments
Su Hawk has stepped down as president of the Colorado Technology Association [4] after nearly nine years.
During her tenure, which started in May 2003, the nonprofit organization grew to more than 8,000 members representing more than 5,500 Colorado companies.
"We just completed our most successful year as the leader on behalf of the technology industry and as an association, and I'm now looking forward to new challenges," Hawk said in a statement. "With the organization healthy and strong, the beginning of the new year is the best time for this transition."
Her departure comes as the Colorado legislative session is about to kick off [5], and the organization usually leads or supports a couple of measures [6] each year.
The board has asked Steve Foster [7], who was in line to be the 2012 board chairman, to succeed Hawk. Foster has served on the board since 2005.
"When Su joined the association, it was during a very challenging time, and we appreciate the commitment and passion she has given our association over the last several years," Foster said. "She built a community of hundreds of volunteers, engaged industry leaders, brought financial strength and spurred industry advocacy bringing years of success to the organization. We wish her well in her new endeavors and thank her for her dedication."
The organization, founded in 1994 as the Colorado Software Association, was renamed [8] from CSIA to the Colorado Technology Association last year.

Topsail Island's original craft market will be hosting a special pirate-themed event on July 10th. Kids are invited to "Strike Gold" and create a simple pirate coin necklace while families shop for treasures at the market.
Topsail's Summer Plunder Days, which encourages visitors to "Pillage in the Village," is the brainchild of Topsail Beach resident Dottie Netherton. Dottie originally developed the craft market as a part of the Town's 50th anniversary celebration last year, but its popularity ensured that it would continue beyond 2013.
The market features local crafts — and its uniqueness lies in the fact that it is not a "farmer's market" and does not include produce vendors. The focus is solely on the talents, arts and crafts of local residents.
Dottie has built on the Topsail pirate history, with the familiar pirate logo carrying forward on banners and ads. There is even a treasure chest, where children can collect a piece of eight, to be exchanged for a pirate pencil at the Missiles and More Museum.
The market features more than 20 vendors, who have all been juried and selected for the quality and variety of their work. Some of the many offerings include pottery, intricate scissor-cuttings, handpainted signs, jewelry, leather, soaps, mosaics, copper art, weathervanes, puzzles, tie-dye, stained glass work, tide clocks, hand-carved fish, paintings and, of course, sea glass and shell art.
Visitors can "Pillage in the Village" on Thursdays in June, July and August from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Fridays have been established as a rain date. The market is located at 802 S. Anderson Blvd. in Topsail Beach. Market information can be found on the facebook page: Facebook.com/topsailcrafts.

Comments about TCP 85 Watt Equivalent, 12 Watt, 120 Volt DIMMABLE 25,000-Hr 3000K Soft White LED BR30 Bulb:
Replaced two outdoor 100 watt flood lights that require a ladder to get to.Big benefit from longer life in this case.So far so good. The two 12 watt bulbs seem to light the area as well as two 100 watt incandescent bulbs did.Now the total consumption of the area, including ten path lights with LED bulbs, is less than one of the bulbs that I replaced.
Works great!

About Me Quality Oriented, Value Oriented
We had a bedroom can light fixture (BR30 size) and only found 60 watt incandescent flood lights that would fit inside. We also tried CFL bulbs but the life of those were short due to the heat created in the base. This LED really shines bright! I'll be ordering more for the workshop! Since it is in our bedroom and dimmable I can set the brightness for the right mood! A great energy saver too! This by far is the best incandescent alternative for a BR30 size flood lamp!
great product

Right-wing culture warriors have used this idea to create "us" vs. "them" divisiveness in our country, and liberals have failed to counter it by making the case that we're all in this together. The new book by MSNBC political analyst and Salon columnist Joan Walsh explores in unflinching terms the roots and effects of scapegoat politics.

Gum Drop Hop 2
Gum Drop Hop 2 game review
Platform games are always a nice way to relax when you get tired of playing games with senseless violence inserted into them. This in no way reflects that platform games just can't be as senseless as shoot 'em up games.
One of the most senseless platform games that I have ever played has to be Gum Drop Hop 2. I mean sure I can appreciate a good side scrolling platform game just as much as the next guy but this game just feels like it was concocted by a 7 year old girl high on sugar. Before you dub me as a feminist, you must play the game first in order to know what I really mean by my earlier remark. Quite honestly, even games like Pet Soccer or Cupid's Challenge were far better than this game.
The game has no storyline what so ever. You are a God knows what creature that must jump from platform to platform collecting coins and random candies that grant a bonus to your final score. Like every amazing platform jumper there is, the screen keeps moving towards the right at all times and if you're slow, you first vanish from the screen and after 5 seconds die. I mean what was the point of making your character vanish and then giving a 5 second delay? You can't really expect a player to jump out once their character vanishes from the screen because more than 80% chances are that the player will find themselves jumping to their death anyways.
The gameplay as told above is to just walk around from platform to platform collecting coins and random candies. The points awarded by these candies differ from candy to candy with the heart shaped candy giving you the maximum points i.e. 100 points. Oh and while you're jumping around, every now and then, a ray of stars will be shot at your character from the sky, making him jump high. Yes, apparently even God hates your character and wants him to die. If that wasn't enough, sometimes there are flowers that just explode for no reason at all to make your character jump. Oh and your character can also break some specific block platforms by spinning on them like the Tasmanian devil from Looney Toons.
Anyhow, there are a few things other than the exploding star beam and mad flowers that you should be aware of before playing the game. Often there are two ways to jump to different platforms but almost 50% of the times only one way is correct while the other one will take you to a dead end. Most often it happens when there are platforms that are connected by utility poles. You must activate the first pole in order for the gate at the second pole to open up. It's like the game takes fun in watching you scream in agony over every bad decision you take. Also while jumping from platform to platform; always be wary of platforms that are colored purple. These platforms vanish after a few seconds of you touching them.
Game Mechanics and Controls
Now I know I am coming down on this game pretty hard but trust me when I tell you that the one player mode of the game is really that bad. The only redemptive feature that the game offers is the two player mode. In this mode, there are two "ghost" like things that you and your friend can control. The great thing about this mode is that if one player dies the other can revive him by just pressing R.
The controls of the game are the standard WASD keys for single player with the W or Space key being used for jumping. The S key can be used to spin your character that enables it to break different block platforms. The second player can move his or her character by using the arrow keys.
Final Verdict
I must say I'm not really a fan of the game as even the graphics and the sound track of the game managed to be quite annoying to me apart from the gameplay. Anyhow, if you're in mood to go to candy land and have fun by screaming in frustration, be my guest and try this game out. Otherwise, just do yourself a favor and play some other platformer like Snail Bob or its sequel Snail Bob 2 or even Mario Flash Forever.

Community supported agriculture is sprouting in Morocco.
Now similar partnerships between consumers and growers are taking root on the temperate, cactus-lined farms of Morocco.
The founders of Belhacha's CSA group, called Sala Almoustaqbal, began with little more than enthusiasm, a garden and a friend's garage. Touriya Atarhouch was a biologist by profession but three years ago she decided to indulge and expand her passion for gardening. She and her husband, Najib Bendahman, with the support of several friends hungry for organic produce, started their own farm and convinced two other growers to retool their operations.
In exchange for doing so, the farmers were promised a steady salary of about $1,200 each month.
"Plenty of farmers came to us at first, saying this is super interesting, 10,000 dirhams a month is good. But what does that entail? It entails working every day, from morning to night, and all year long," Atarhouch said. "It's a continuous, diversified production. You're always learning. There are always problems, so it's not easy. That's why we don't have that many new farmers joining the project."
They have graduated from handing out produce in a co-founder's garage to doing so at an upscale school in Rabat, Morocco's capital city.
She estimates the 100 customers in their network pay about 20 percent more for their vegetables than they would at neighborhood markets. As a result, the group's clientele — about half of whom are foreigners, half Moroccan — tend to be educated and affluent. As the program grows, Atarhouch said she hopes to be able to offer weekly vegetable packages priced within reach of working-class Moroccans.
"Honestly we cannot help both growers and consumers at this point," she said. "There's less support converting to organic in Morocco than there is the U.S. and France. We have to take care of ourselves. So that means for the moment, we can only help the growers."
Besides the steady pay, the project's farmers cite other benefits of going organic. "Chemical fertilizers are expensive," said Radouane Elkhallouki, who runs a farm a few miles south of Belhacha's. "We cut costs by using plant and animal waste — which also help the land stay productive."
The slightly higher cost hasn't seemed to diminish enthusiasm for the project's produce in Rabat. The waiting list to join the group is 100 families long, with friends of departing expats jostling for rare open spots.
"I have a little boy and it's much better to give him organic than chemical vegetables," said Saloua Mnissar, 37, who joined the group six months ago. But what does she think is the biggest advantage organic produce?
"The taste," she said, "the taste."

Nicmaxx Review: "I PREFER NICMAXX OVER REGULAR CIGS" Says Pam…..
Name: PAM
My Nicmaxx Review: TODAY IS AUGUST 19, 2013. ON JANUARY 5, 2013, I TRIED MY FIRST NICMAXX CIG AND LOVED IT BUT BECAUSE I HAD TO WAIT TO CHARGE MY CIG, I FOUND MYSELF SNEAKING REGULAR ONES. SO I FIXED THAT BY BUYING A SECOND STARTER KIT SO I COULD ALWAYS HAVE ONE CHARGED. NOW IF I TRY TO SMOKE A REGULAR CIGARETTE (MARLBORO LIGHTS) IT MAKES ME SICK. I CAN TASTE THE CHEMICALS NOW. BUT ANYWAY, I PREFER NICMAXX OVER REGULAR CIGS. THE TASTE IS BETTER, AND I AM SUCCESSFUL. HOPEFULLY BY THE END OF THE YEAR I WILL BE SMOKE FREE.
Location: CLEVELAND, OHIO

Nicmaxx Review – Smoke Free Since Christmas!
I have been using a E-Cigarette since Dec 24 and I have been smoke free now since Jan. It took me like 2 weeks to get used to the vapor and i would not go back to smoking a regular cigarette ever. I actually tried smoking a cigarette after using the E-cigarette and it was so nasty it was literally like putting an ashtray in my mouth.

Location: Sebring Florida
E-Cig Sales Continue To Soar – CNN Report Removed?
A recent article attributed to the CNN news group entitled E-Cigarette sales Continue To Soar.. seems to have been removed from their website. The article which we believe is quoted below can now only be found in part on websites that managed to pick up the story before the page was removed.
"Electronic cigarette makers have become increasingly aggressive in their advertising in the US, with one company even proclaiming that "Big Tobacco" has met its match. But the burgeoning industry is worried that an onslaught of taxes and regulations could snuff out its recent success.
The new assertiveness comes as tobacco analysts have started to acknowledge that growing demand for "e-cigs" in the US is peeling away customers from tobacco giants such as Altria, Lorillard and RJ Reynolds, Kazinform refers to CNN.
Upstarts such as NJOY, Vapor and Logic are spending more on marketing and advertising, to make the case for their products as a viable smoking alternative.
E-cigarette makers have even ventured into television in both the US and UK — taboo for tobacco groups — with advertising for their products
"Our mission is to 'obsolete' cigarettes," said Craig Weiss, chief executive of NJOY, the leading US e-cigarette maker by market share. "We think of ourselves as the digital to their analogue."
Sales of traditional cigarettes have been declining steadily in the past decade. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, consumption of smoked tobacco products fell 27 per cent from 2000 to 2011, as taxes increased and smoking bans at bars and restaurants took hold.
Meanwhile, sales of e-cigarettes have soared, doubling during the past two years to $300m in 2012 and on pace to reach $1bn in annual sales in the next few years, according to estimates by Goldman Sachs. The category is being compared with energy drinks and Greek yoghurt — bright spots in declining consumer markets."
Whatever the reason for this being taken down…it seems the fight is on for the public health!!
Electronic Cigarettes – A Voice Of Reason
At last a voice of reason in the e-cig debate. A piece by Lionel Shriver in the UK's Guardian newspaper online (www.guardian.co.uk). Bravo! Its nice to see a voice of reason starting to be seen in the national press. A recent article in The mail online was so uninformed and unintelligently biased it is not even worth mentioning the link. Here is Mrs Shrivers article.
I've long been a decorative smoker. One daily roll-up hasn't imperilled my health much, and it's rescued me from the ranks of the self-righteous. I've relished the dash of badness, but my indulgence has come at a price: complicity. My more heavily addicted husband has smoked from the age of 19. So long as I join him in the odd postprandial drag, I'm a bad influence.
Last month I switched to an e-cig. I'm a convert. Sleek, black, and easily confused with a fine-point felt-tip, this newfangled "nicotine delivery system" is dead cool. The gently warm vapour ingeniously replicates the reflective pause of a real fag, the same quiet little buzz. But it doesn't stink up your breath, cover surfaces with ash, turn the air acrid, stain your fingers, brown your teeth, reduce bone mass of the jaw, promote gum disease, or – wait for the drum roll – cause cancer. Nor does an e-cig give anyone in your vicinity cancer.
Why, then, are so many nonsmokers queasy, nay denunciatory, about electronic fags? Why did the EU's tobacco product directive released last month propose effectively banning any e-cigs that deliver remotely enough nicotine to make them an attractive alternative to tobacco? Isn't a "tobacco product directive" reaching beyond its remit by seeking to regulate a product containing no tobacco? Why is the sale of a device that administers a mild stimulant about as energising as a cup of coffee already illegal in Denmark, Belgium and Norway? Why do some airlines specifically ban e-cigs, which don't foul the air on planes?
Socially, the battery-powered fag seems to inspire anything from curiosity to annoyance – as well as contempt in some proper smokers, who consider the counterfeit ciggie cowardly and naff. Fine, call most of us cowardly for being afraid of cancer. What I cannot sanction is the annoyance.
Web forums teem with sniffy disgust towards anyone who substitutes one addiction for another – though there's no evidence that addiction to nicotine, in the absence of the tar and chemical additives of commercial tobacco, is any more damaging than addiction to caffeine. With e-cigs, it seems you haven't "really quit", even if you've really quit tobacco, the very substance that sheepish smokers yearn to eschew. In desperation, rabid anti-smokers deride e-cigs as stupid-looking and pathetic. Apparently we're in danger of "renormalising smoking" after having lavished endless initiatives on making smoking socially unacceptable among all but a sad, quivering few.
Nonsense. If electronic cigarettes became a socially acceptable norm, lung cancer and emphysema rates would plummet. The trouble is that smokers have been demonised medically and morally: not merely bad for public health, but bad, full stop. E-cigs neatly separate the rational, research-backed concern for the health consequences of tobacco from a purely cultural revulsion for a "filthy" habit marking you as evil.
For anti-smoking fanatics, e-cigs must be enraging. They can't clamber on to that handsome high horse, because what's to get upset about? Those plastic vapour sticks aren't gunking anyone's lungs or even stinking up the drapes. And those dreadful cheats seem to be enjoying themselves! They're getting away with something horrid scot-free! It isn't fair! They should get cancer! Imagine the dizzy swoon of indignation deprivation: what's upsetting is there's nothing to get upset about.
The EU situation is more unsettling still. The pharmaceutical industry profits from popular but far less effective methods for quitting tobacco such as patches and gums, and spends more than €40m a year lobbying the EU. In the UK in 2011, nicotine replacement therapies were worth £117m in turnover, largely due to NHS freebies. It's in Big Pharma's interest to quash the e-cig, now that 7% of Europeans have tried one and in 2013 they are expected to attract more than a million Britons.
Keep an eye on the UK, whose politicians talk righteously, but whose coffers benefit from a whopping £9bn annually in tobacco taxes, dwarfing the £2.7bn smokers cost the NHS each year. (Yet because smokers die seven to 10 years younger, and place little demand on the service once dead, smoking may actually save the NHS money.) If all British smokers switched to e-cigs overnight, the Treasury would be traumatised. The government will never admit to banning e-cigs because it needs the taxes it rakes in from you killing yourself, but watch this space.
You want real evil? What's truly evil is attempting to deny people addicted to a profoundly damaging substance the opportunity to transfer that addiction to a product most medical professionals rate as 99% harmless. The gathering European opposition to electronic cigarettes is the result of kneejerk cultural prejudice, puritanical vindictiveness, corporate collusion, and the unconscionable greed of tax authorities that won't be able to heap the same punitive, confiscatory, opportunistic duties on a product that doesn't hurt anyone.
Sure, there's a sacrifice in leaving real tobacco behind for a mere simulacrum. You miss dancing on the dark side – the risk, that hint of wickedness. But since your detractors can't have kittens any more, you get something in return: glee.

Epigenomics confirmed the European launch of Epi proColon, reportedly the first CE-marked IVD blood test for detecting colorectal cancer. The company plans to commercialize Epi proColon through direct marketing in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria and through distributors in the rest of Europe. Epi proColon detects tumor-derived methylated septin9 gene (mSEPT9) DNA in blood plasma. Epigenomics says that in final performance studies involving 260 patients, the test detected two-third of colorectal cancer at early, localized, and curable stages. Prior to launch of Epi proColon, a number of early adopter laboratories had been offering validated laboratory tests for the mSEPT9 biomarker. Launch of the CE-marked test will allow the rollout of blood-based colorectal cancer testing across molecular diagnostic laboratories in Europe.The company points out that although routine screening for colorectal cancer is recommended in many countries, lack of convenience and the invasiveness of fecal occult blood tests and colonoscopy lead to low uptake of screening programs. It believes a simple blood test would be more easily incorporated into an annual health check. Patients testing positive using Epi proColon could then be referred for colonoscopy. Epigenomics is also developing a lung cancer IVD, Epi proLung, which it hopes to launch during the first half of 2010. Epi proLung measures the tumor marker mSHOX2 in bronchial lavage samples.

In the fall of 2005, Randy Davis sat in his church in New York and listened intently to the director of the local refugee center. As he heard about the struggles and fears of the world's most vulnerable people, his heart began to beat with excitement. Was God calling him to minister to refugees? And if so, would his church members be willing to help?
In December that year, the Utica International Seventh-day Adventist Church welcomed its first refugee family from Myanmar. It was an intensive six months as the members helped to furnish an apartment, provide transportation, assist with shopping, medical appointments, and the daunting prospect of helping them adapt to a new country.
More families from the Thailand-Myanmar border came. At times, the church was scrambling to find and furnish apartments for two families per week. In 2008 there was an influx of 150 Adventist refugees. And now, five years after their first refugee family arrived, they are organizing one of the first Karen congregations in the United States.
This September, please pray for refugees and for those who minister to them.
According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Annual Flow Report for May 2011, a total of 73,293 people were admitted to the United States as refugees during 2010. To help Global Mission reach refugees for Christ, please support Project Fund #5020.

Lima, October 5, 2012. - Vichayito Bungalows & Tents by Aranwa in conjunction with the Fundación Ballena Azul (FBA) have been working on the campaign "Peru, Country of Whales" since late August. This initiative seeks to raise awareness among the population about the biodiversity in the Peruvian sea, including the humpback whale, this peculiar species that can be observed in the north coast of Peru between August and October every year.
This campaign also seeks to encourage the conservation of these species and its habitat, as well as raising public awareness through the knowledge of the marine fauna. This goal begins with the premise that to preserve you must love, and to love you must know. In this case, sustainable ecotourism is the key for bringing people to nature. Whale watching has special tours are characterized by sustainable and responsible attitude to whales and their ecosystem.
This natural phenomenon concludes in late October. Until then, Fundación Ballena Azul (FBA) will be providing information on its booth located in the Real Plaza Mall in the district of San Borja and in the Civic Center of Lima.
Vichayito Bungalows & Tents by Aranwa reaffirms its commitment with the environment and responsible tourism with its participation as lecturer on the "1st International conference of whales' conservation and ecotourism practices in Latin America" held in The Universidad Científica del Sur in Lima. A conference that will join exhibitors from Brazil, rgentina, Chile and Ecuador. Aranwa expand its social and environmental responsibility with the upcoming opening of its new hotel in Paracas Bay in late 2013.

Quotable Lyrics
"I was raised from the Bible Belt, I tighten that, I'm Titan's back
Same game they claim that they killing, I'm breathing life in that
Take heed, the people you lead when you reciting that
You will die for what you believe, so where's your rifle at?
Never was entertained or influenced by all the drama
Hard to bury your partna, but harder to console her mama
That only want the best for her child
Save a place for his soul Lord, he ain't been to church in a while"

@AnswerMan, I once tried out for a series of books on tape myself. In my case, I had to work with some other actors on a scene from a murder mystery. The producer called each one of us aside and told us something about our character that the others weren't supposed to know. I was asked to be a little slow in the head, for example. The female character was supposed to be the real killer, but she had to pretend to be innocent. We all played the scene in a tiny little room with microphones everywhere.
A friend of mine actually got the part I auditioned for, but he had some training at a voice talent school and they liked how he sounded over the microphone. I did get some work doing local radio and cable TV commercial spots, however.

by Myron B. Kuropas
In the minds of many U.S. government officials, the future of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) depends on the ability of the people to organize themselves into non-governmental organizations or NGOs.
NGOs are private associations, federations, unions, societies, and groups not founded or funded by the government. When it comes to servicing the poor, providing low cost services, building grass-roots organizations, and adapting or creating innovative programs to meet local needs, it is clear that in many instances, NGOs can often accomplish more than government agencies.
Old-line NGOs in our community are the Ukrainian National Association and the Selfreliance Federal Credit Unions.
Voluntarism is as American as apple pie. It is a unique American way of getting things done, an integral part of our civil society. Alexis de Tocqueville noticed this as early as 1832 and wrote about it in Democracy in America, his classic critique of life in the United States. "Americans of all ages, all conditions, and all dispositions, constantly form associations," he wrote. "They have not only commercial and manufacturing companies, in which all take part, but associations of a thousand other kinds Ł religious, moral, serious, futile, general or restricted, enormous or diminutive. The Americans make associations to give entertainments, to found seminaries, to build inns, to construct churches, to diffuse books to send missionaries to the antipodes; they found in this manner hospitals, prisons, or schools. If it be proposed to inculcate some truth, or to foster some feeling by the encouragement of a great example, they form a society."
The aristocratic de Tocqueville was aware of the difficulties individuals living in a democracy faced in attaining power. All citizens are independent and feeble, he wrote. "They all, therefore, become powerless, if they do not learn voluntarily to help each other...If men living in democratic countries had no right and no inclination to associate for political purposes, their independence would be in great jeopardy; but they might long preserve their wealth and cultivation: whereas, if they never acquired the habit of forming associations in ordinary life, civilization itself would be endangered."
Believing that civic development is an essential element in economic stability and the preservation of democratic institutions, the U.S. government, various research and think tanks, and numerous foundations have poured billions of dollars into the creation of NGOs in CEE, all since 1989. To keep track of all this funding there is even a newsletter titled NGO News which strives to keep everyone informed of what is going on.
One organization involved in the development of NGOs in Ukraine is the Counterpart Service Center (CSC), headquartered in Washington, and funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
More familiar to Ukrainian Americans is the U.S.-Ukraine Foundation which was recently awarded a grant of 6.9 million dollars for a three year program titled "U.S.-Ukraine Community Partnerships for Training and Education." The goal of the program, according to Infolink," is to provide efficient, cost-effective and sustainable technical assistance, training and education to Ukrainian communities so that they may advance their role as constructive players in a democratic society." I'm not sure I understand what that means, but it sure sounds wonderful.
There is no doubt that NGOs are a viable part of a country like the United States where the government is constituted to protect our rights under the law. How effective can NGOs be, however, in a nation where there exists, as one commentator has described it, "an incoherent state tenuously connected to a demoralized society?" How can NGOs be expected to function when the government is fragmented, barely solvent, and apparently unaccountable to the citizenry?
Another question: Can there be a strong civil society in a nation that has no middle-class, where the rich have no sense of noblesse oblige (focusing only on themselves), the poor are too tired, disillusioned and powerless to act, and where the civilization is endangered because Ukrainians have not "acquired the habit of forming associations in ordinary life?"
Even if a civil society is created, it is not necessarily a guarantee of a strong democratic government. In an article titled "Civil Society and the Collapse of the Weimar Republic," (cited in the Wilson Quarterly, Summer, 1997), Sheri Berman argues that civil society flourished in 19th century Germany and grew even stronger during the 1920s under the democratic Weimar Republic. "As middle-class Germans became frustrated with the failures of the national government ... they threw themselves into their clubs, voluntary associations, and professional organizations," she writes. This "not only deflected the citizen's energies from the politics and government, further weakening the republic's democratic institutions, but also provided the Nazis with a golden opportunity."
The Nazis infiltrated various voluntary organizations and used the talents of the people there as channels for spreading their message. Ms. Berman concludes that without strong and responsive political institutions, a vigorous civil society of the type championed by latter-day Tocquevilleans, can actually undermine liberal democracy.
Since Ukraine has no large middle-class as yet, and few viable, self-sustaining, and independent NGOs, there is little danger of a takeover by anybody. But what happens down the line when powerful NGOs do appear? What's to prevent the Communists from infiltrating them? They've done it before. Since most of the NGOs depend on terminal grants, what happens once grant money runs out? Will NGOs be able to maintain an independent existence?
The basic premise underlying NGOs is a sound one. They provide a significant first step towards the creation of a civil society. "Civil associations ... facilitate political association," wrote de Tocqueville, "but on the other hand, political association singularly strengthens and improves associations for civil purposes." In other words, there can be no meaningful civil society without political involvement by the citizenry.
Today Ukraine's citizenry remains politically lethargic. They need a jump-start to get them off their bottoms. Let's hope the people associated with U.S.-Ukraine Foundation can provide it. The emergence of a civil society in Ukraine depends on it.

We have identified an S. cerevisiae integral peroxisomal membrane protein of M of 42,705 (Pex13p) that is a component of the peroxisomal protein import apparatus. Pex13p's most striking feature is an src homology 3 (SH3) domain that interacts directly with yeast Pex5p (former Pas10p), the recognition factor for the COOH-terminal tripeptide signal sequence (PTS1), but not with Pex7p (former Pas7p), the recognition factor for the NH2-terminal nonapeptide signal (PTS2) of peroxisomal matrix proteins. Hence, Pex13p serves as peroxisomal membrane receptor for at least one of the two peroxisomal signal recognition factors. Cells deficient in Pex13p are unable to import peroxisomal matrix proteins containing PTS1 and, surprisingly, also those containing PTS2. Pex13p deficient cells retain membranes containing the peroxisomal membrane protein Pex11p (former Pmp27p), consistent with the existence of independent pathways for the integration of peroxisomal membrane proteins and for the translocation of peroxisomal matrix proteins.

The question of why the American government has been so hesitant to push dictator Hosni Mubarak from power is typically answered in our media through the construct of "pragmatism." If Mubarak leaves, the talking point goes, there could be a new government in Egypt that could threaten "regional stability" with an Iranian-style revolution. Show More Summary

What a clever idea and great cache container. At first I wasn't sure where the cache was. When I found the container, I felt it was a good spot to drop off one of my 5th grade classes trackable items. Someone come and move it along please! We can't wait to watch it move. Tftc.

My two Rhodesian Ridgebacks are part of my family and an important part of my life. My commitment to caring for them includes providing high quality food that is appropriate to their needs. I have long searched for pet foods that meet the nutritional requirements of my dogs and satisfies their natural instincts for meat, but that don't contain ingredients and additives that I consider unhealthy and wouldn't include in my own diet.
That's no easy task.
Most commercially available pet food - even those claiming to be "natural" or "scientific" - contain rendered meats, animal byproducts and slaughterhouse scraps. "Byproducts" and animal "meals" are terms that may sound harmless but can mean almost any part of an animal: heads, blood, feet and viscera and even brain and spinal tissue. You wouldn't eat any of those things, so why would you feed them to your dog or cat? Always look for pet food that contains no animal byproducts and no rendered or recycled meats, poultry or fats.
When shopping for pet food, check the labels carefully. Meat, fish or chicken (not "meals") should be the first ingredient listed. Beyond that, I look for grain-free products that use potato, pea, or tapioca starch, if any. Another tip-off to the quality of pet foods is what the packages claim - or more importantly, what they don't claim - about added growth hormones, antibiotic-fed protein sources, rendered meats, fats or poultry. If the label doesn't explicitly tell you that the product contains none of those additives or ingredients, assume that it does and move on.
I also look for pet foods naturally preserved with vitamin E (mixed tocopherols) and vitamin C instead of BHT or sodium nitrate. (These preservatives may not be listed on the label if they are present in meat when purchased by the manufacturer.) I also avoid dyes - the red and green coloring in kibble comes from dyes that may be harmful.
In my experience, there are only a few brands on store shelves that meet these strict criteria. But even those brands have formulations that can change over time, and as we learn more about the health and nutrition of companion animals, the criteria for quality and safety may change as well. I urge you to apply the advice listed here in your own search for healthy products, and to stay informed about labeling laws and ingredient safety.

Wild daffodils (credit Emma Bradshaw)
In early spring the bright yellow nodding heads of daffodils start to appear along roadside verges, in parks and on roundabouts. But for real carpets of yellow flowers you need to head to the few remaining woods and meadows where wild daffodils grow in glorious profusion. Several Wildlife Trusts manage nature reserves where wild daffodils grow and here we list a few, including several in 'the Golden Triangle' - an area of north west Gloucestershire famous for its displays of wild daffodils.
Dunsford Nature Reserve (Devon Wildlife Trust)
Dunsford nature reserve is one of the best places to see daffodils in South West England. Coach loads of people used to come to the reserve to pick daffodils and the site became so popular that signs had to be put up asking people not pick daffodils. But Dunsford is still a great place to see wild daffodils today.
More information on Dunsford nature reserve
George's Hayes (Staffordshire Wildlife Trust)
Consisting of two seperate woodland blocks, George's Hayes is an ancient woodland in staffordshire and is best known for its native wild daffodils.
More information on George's Hayes nature reserve
Oysters Coppice Nature Reserve (Wiltshire Wildlife Trust)
Wild daffodils grow in this ancient woodland nature reserve overlooking the Vale of Wardour, near Shaftesbury. Other flowers of interest here include the rare opposite leaved golden saxifrage and the town clock flower.
More information on Oysters Coppice nature reserve
Betty Daw's Wood (Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust)
Betty Daw's Wood nature reserve is an ancient woodland, and is widely known for its spectacular display of wild daffodils. It also contains a wealth of other plants and animals. Old hazel coppice dominates the shrub layer, provided a good habitat for the common dormouse, wood anemone, bittervetch, wood-sorrel and bluebell.
More information on Betty Daw's Wood nature reserve
Stocking Springs Wood (Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust)
Nestled amongst the wooded estates of central Hertfordshire, this small hornbeam wood is a beautiful example of traditional coppice management and hosts a wonderful display of wild daffodils in the spring, along with bluebells, wood anemones and wood violets. Oak trees amongst the hornbeam provide nesting for great spotted woodpeckers, nuthatches and treecreepers.
More information on Stocking Springs Wood
Gwen & Vera's Fields (Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust)
Gwen & Vera's Fields nature reserve is less than a mile away from Betty Daw's nature reserve, and although very small, this is managed to conserve one of the few remaining wild daffodil meadows in north west Gloucestershire.
More information on Gwen and Vera's Fields
Vell Mill (Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust)
Vell Mill nature reserve is predominantly managed as a wild daffodil meadow, although other species such as cowslip, hoary plantain, common dog-violet and meadow vetchling can also be found here.
More information on Vell Mill nature reserve
Ketford Banks (Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust)
Ketford Banks nature reserve is a small and steep, sandy bank, famous for its display of wild daffodils. The Trust acquired the site in 2010 and much removal of scrubby species including bracken has been undertaken to encourage the wild daffodils to thrive.
More information on Ketford Banks nature reserve
Coed y Bwl (Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales)
Coed y Bwl is famous for its daffodil displays. Last year the wood and its volunteers were highly commended in the Vale of Glamorgan Biodiversity Partnership's Awards for Wildlife. The prime conservation target has been to save Coed-y-Bwl's locally-rare wild daffodil population in the wake of Dutch elm disease which ravaged the wood over thirty years ago.
More information on Coed y Bwl nature reserve
Llandefaelog Wood (Brecknock Wildlife Trust)
A good-sized patch of wild daffodils grow in Llandefaelog Wood nature reserve, near Brecon, although they are not normally in flower until late March.
