Saru's annual Super Rugby promotion-relegation plan does little to drive the ultimate goal behind the Southern Kings' inclusion.
On Wednesday afternoon, Saru announced that the Kings will compete in Super Ruby in 2013, with the Lions dropping out as this season's last-placed team. A promotion-relegation system was also confirmed, which will see next year's last-placed South African side compete in a play-off for a 2014 tournament spot against the Jozi franchise. This will only be implemented for one year.
Saru president Oregan Hoskins and CEO Jurie Roux argued that rugby is a professional sport and a professional decision was made.
However, it must be noted that ultimate goal behind the Kings' inclusion is to assist with transformation in the Eastern Cape region, which is rich in black talent. The likes of Lwazi Mvovo, Siya Kolisi, Akona and Odwa Ndungane, and Bandise Maku all hail from the province.
Hoskins hopes that the Kings' Super Rugby run will inspire young people of colour to partake in the sport, and go on and represent the franchise.
'Historically, the top black and coloured rugby players come from the Eastern Cape,' Hoskins told keo.co.za. 'We are doing what we can in terms of developing more players of colour. We have academies set up in the Eastern Cape region and in the Boland region to help with transformation.
'We also hope that with the Kings playing Super Rugby, that these youngsters will want to stay in their home union and play for their local franchise.'
Hoskins added that he was not satisfied with the current transformation circumstances at the Kings. The are only three players of colour who regularly start for the team in the Currie Cup First Division (flank Thabo Mamojele, wing Marcello Sampson and inside centre Tiger Mangweni), while New Zealand coaches have been appointed at the start of domestic campaign.
'We will have talks with the different unions over the next month as we will go on a roadshow to visit all the provinces,' said Hoskins. 'This will include a stop in PE, where we can chat about this. EP president Cheeky Watson has ensured that we will witness some transformation during Super Rugby next year, so we trust he will deal with that.
'We will also be talking to the different coaches, who actually do the groundwork.'
However, will this 'quick fix' actually contribute to the ultimate goal? And have the Kings been given a fair chance to prove themselves at Super Rugby level?
The Kings are only guaranteed one year of Super Rugby. If they finish last next season, they'll have to compete in the promotion-relegation play-off. And should they be eliminated, their progress will not reach its full potential.
The Kings are likely to finish last next season, considering the trends set by other Super Rugby debutants. The Western Force and Melbourne Rebels were both wooden spoonists in their respective debut campaigns and still feature in the bottom half of the standings. The Cheetahs and Lions continue to struggle as independent franchises since splitting from the Cats initiative in 2006.
Roux acknowledged this scenario and stressed that they are hoping to get other solutions in place.
'Saru's input doesn't stop here. We will continue planning more solutions for post-2013,' said Roux.

Here are some larger examples of DSLDs.
All scripts here are available under an EPL license. You are free to redistribute any of the scripts below, but please include the following header in the file:
Feel free to add your own scripts to this page.
This DSLD handles the
@Delegate AST transform through a call to
Note that we could have used
bind instead of
currentType and had the same behavior.
This shows how
@Singleton is implemented. We need to explicitly use a bind pointcut here since we want to bind to the outermost pointcut.
The code for
@Mixin looks like this:
Here is the
@Newify DSLD. This matches whenever an enclosing field, method, or class is annotated by
groovy.lang.Newify. We add both the Python-style constructors and the Ruby style cosntructors.
Although this next example is quite long, it is fairly straight forward. We are just adding lots and lots and lots of methods to the
SwingBuilder class. This script is only partially complete since we don't include documentation for all contributed methods. It might be possible to use
BeanInfo to generate this script automatically.
DSLD Meta Script
Finally, here is the script that defines editing support for DSLDs themselves. A few comments:
- Notice the use of
wormholeto store the declaration of binding names so that they can appear in content assist later.
- We are accessing the
org.codehaus.groovy.eclipse.dsl.script.PointcutFactory, which is a class defined inside of Groovy-Eclipse where all of the pointcuts are registered. Doing this ensures thatthe list of pointcuts available for content assist is always synchronized with what is available in Groovy-Eclipse.
- There is a mock interface
IPointcutthat is defined. It is based on an internal interface of the same name, but in a different package.
IPointcutonly exists in the script so that the
acceptmethod will not be underlined.
- This script is long and complicated, but it shows many of the features available in the DSLD language.

Climate Change Indicators in the United States

The Earth's climate is changing. Temperatures are rising, snow and rainfall patterns are shifting, and more extreme climate events—like heavy rainstorms and record high temperatures—are already taking place. Scientists are highly confident that many of these observed changes can be linked to the climbing levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in our atmosphere, which are caused by human activities.
EPA is working with many other organizations to collect and communicate data about climate change. With help from these partners, EPA has compiled the third edition of this report, presenting 30 indicators to help readers understand observed long-term trends related to the causes and effects of climate change. In a manner accessible to all audiences, the report describes the significance of these trends and their possible consequences for people, the environment, and society. Most indicators focus on the United States, but some include global trends to provide context or a basis for comparison, or because they are intrinsically global in nature. All of the indicators presented relate to either the causes or effects of climate change, although some indicators show trends that can be more directly linked to human-induced climate change than others. EPA's indicators are based on peer-reviewed, publicly-available data from various government agencies, academic institutions, and other organizations. EPA selected these indicators based on the quality of the data and other criteria, using historical records that go back in time as far as possible without sacrificing data quality.
Indicators will be updated periodically on the Web as newer data become available. For additional information about EPA's climate change indicators, see Frequent Questions.

It looked like the fate of Jane By Design could go either way but ABC Family has now decided to cancel the TV series. The drama ran for one season of 18 episodes.
Jane By Design tells the tale of a quirky teenager who has a unique fashion sense. She gets hired by chance at a hip fashion house and must learn to juggle her demanding new job while still attending high school. The cast includes Erica Dasher, Andie MacDowell, Rowly Dennis, India de Beaufort, Ser'Darius Blain, Brooke Lyons, Nick Roux, Meagan Tandy, Matthew Atkinson, and David Clayton Rogers.
The ABC Family series premiered in January to 1.6 million viewers and a 0.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic. The numbers for week two dropped about 30%. The numbers fluctuated week-to-week but viewership never got that high again.
ABC Family initially ordered 10 installments and those finished airing on March 6th. Rather than renew Jane By Design for a second season, the cable channel ordered eight more installments to be added to season one.
The first season ended up averaging 1.29 million total viewers and a 0.5 demo rating. Jane By Design ended up being the lowest-rated drama of the current crop. and fans understandably became nervous when the finale aired in late July and a renewal hadn't materialized. We now know it won't be forthcoming.
What do you think? Are you sorry to hear that Jane By Design has been cancelled? What were you hoping to see in season two?

|A Legacy of Love: Donna Young to Retire After 33 Years of Service to the Ronald McDonald House
As a trained RN, with a young child at home, Donna knew she needed to find a new job that would not require her to work three different shifts. "I was working rotating shifts at the VA hospital in Tampa," she recalled. "It's tough to do that with a child. I needed to find job stability."
Since Rich was commuting from Tampa to his job at USF in St. Petersburg, he decided to stop by and see the Ronald McDonald House which was still under construction. The rest is history.
Now, after 33 years of service, Donna Young, the first employee and house director in the history of the Tampa Bay Ronald McDonald House, is retiring at the end of June.
"I applied for the job and went to an interview in then president Dennis Sexton's office with a group of people that included the ACH psychologist and director of nursing."
"There was no other Ronald McDonald House in Florida and I'd never heard of it before. I didn't really know what it was all about. I was just applying by the seat of my pants," Donna said.
"I got the job just in time to oversee the completion of the west house. I started work in December, 1979 and in March of 1980 we moved in. "I bartered for an 18-month position. They wanted me to stay for two years," said Donna. "But I was reluctant because I had no idea what this job would involve."
"I've watched this organization grow from an 11-bedroom house with two staff to four houses with 21 staff," she said reflecting on the beginning of the program many years ago.
"As the first house in the state of Florida and number 17 in the country, we were able to forge our own path as a nonprofit, while helping other houses that came later. My training as a registered nurse in pediatrics certainly was beneficial as we developed policies and learned how to work successfully with hospital staff."
"Today, we have more houses than any other Ronald McDonald House in the world. There are 80 bedrooms within the four houses." (Three of the houses are in St. Petersburg and one is in Tampa.)
"Donna has been a true rock for our organization," said Ed Ameen, Chairman of the Tampa Bay Ronald McDonald House Board of Trustees. "I don't think we would be where we are today without her. She is the longest serving employee of any Ronald McDonald House in the world. No one else will ever come close to what she has done for our organization. She will be missed by all of us. I am very happy for her and Rich and wish them all of the best."
"Our relationship with All Children's Hospital has been a great marriage." Donna says. "From the very beginning, we have been supported by the hospital staff from the top down. When that happens it makes everything easy. It's not just the patients were serving; we're taking care of the whole family. I think that's why we've all worked so well together."
"Under Donna's leadership and management, the House has been able to meet the many and varied needs of our families," said Rhonda Cofield, Director of Integrated Care Management at ACH. "When one of our families has a need that is a little out of the ordinary, we have always been able to call Donna and work out a mutually satisfactory arrangement. She has met many needs and challenges over the years with grace, fairness, and a sense of humor. We will truly miss her as she transitions to this new phase of her life. All of our best wishes go with her."
Donna admits that she's seen lots of changes over the years. "Family dynamics are much different today than when we welcomed our first families in 1980, and we encounter many new situations. We have now helped over 42,000 families, and no two families are alike."
"We have great staff and 200 house volunteers now. The budget was less than $100,000 when we opened and it's over $2 million today. I've been on call for all four houses 24/7 for a long time. Whether it's a family in crisis or a fire alarm going off, I always have my ear open moment by moment," she says.
"In addition to running the Ronald McDonald House, people may not realize that Donna has also done many things to get the community involved in the house," said Ronald McDonald, a friend of Donna's who visits patients and families at the house and the hospital on a regular basis. "She's helped coordinate community food drives and volunteer recruitment efforts for the house. She does a lot of work behind the scenes. That's one of the things that makes Donna such a special person and an important part of the mission of the Ronald McDonald House. She goes above and beyond what is required to run the houses."
The Youngs also raised three successful daughters while serving families at the house. "They have all earned their master's degrees. Allie is the mother of two children, Emily is now a physician and Sarah was just accepted into a Ph.D. program," Donna says. "The girls have certainly been impacted growing up and living at the Ronald McDonald House."
"It was an incredible and rare experience growing up at the Ronald McDonald House," said Allie (Young) Lyon, the eldest of the Young's three daughters. "Most of my childhood playmates were the children staying as outpatients at the house while receiving chemotherapy and radiation treatments for the cancer they battled. I learned at an early age never to take life for granted and how blessed I was to have been born healthy."
Allie says it's even more special that she has the opportunity to share this experience with her own two daughters. "I often bring them to see their Nana (Donna) at the East House to have lunch and play on the playground with the children currently staying at house, as I did when I was a child.
"My family is so grateful to have had this unique opportunity to be part of such a wonderful organization for more than three decades," says Allie. "We are so very proud of my mom, the impact she has made, and the lives she has touched. This chapter of our lives with the Ronald McDonald House is coming to a close, but the imprint that this experience has had on our story has changed us forever."
Donna says it will be hard to adjust to retirement. She and Rich are looking forward to traveling and spending time with their grandkids. Rich, a marine chemist with the U.S. Geological Survey, located across the street from the ACH campus, is also retiring. "We've been married 39 years and are looking forward to our new life."
"I never anticipated how this job would impact my life," says Donna. "I have enjoyed so much of what I have done. Being involved in a nonprofit from the ground up has been priceless. Meeting thousands of people from all walks of life has been memorable. Even the tough times helping families deal with crises have educated me and helped me grow. In essence, I have been lucky to have had a career with the Ronald McDonald House."

Comments On Feb 09, 2015:Everything fit together perfectly. Removed almost all of the slop from my steering stem. Hardest part is removing the spanner / retainer nut from the top side of the lower bearing. Otherwise all bearings and seals installed easily and roll smoothly.

Additional Comments On Apr 10, 2014:I purchased these because I got a raised steering stem, they were long enough from the t block to the bars, but I have stock width a arms and the length from the t block to the calipers was also +2 so they were too long. I solved this with some clever routing and zip ties. also straight out of the package none of the fittings are tightned down at all so keep this in mind, new copper washers were included also as was all new hardware, including a spare of each.

Comments On Mar 27, 2014:Bearings seem to be of quality. PITA to install but that has nothing to do with the bearing or the manufacturer. Only two rides on them so far.

Waterkloof and Affies will face off in Schoolboy Derby's feature match of the weekend.
The schoolboy season only kicked off a week ago, but we already have one of the major clashes of the year on Saturday. Both teams enjoyed winning starts in their respective opening games, with Affies beating Diamantveldt 24-10 and Waterfloof thrashing Florida 42-22.
Click here for more schools news
Waterkloof and Affies have clashed 36 times before, with the latter victorious on 29 occasions. However, the last match was played six years ago and Klofies have developed into one of top schools on the national circuit during that period.
Comparing the two teams, Affies do boast the more experienced team, having retained more players from last season. Flyhalf Ryno Eksteen and loosehead prop Pierre Schoeman, who made the SA Schools squad, will be the visitors' key players. Waterkloof 1st XV head coach Jan Mollentze expects a tough forwards battle, but believes his charges will hold their own up front.
'We have a good second row and loose trio this season,' Mollentze told Schoolboy Derby. 'While there will be a 15-man effort from both teams, the forwards battle will be big.
'I was happy with our turnout last weekend. We were a bit rusty in some areas, but we've worked hard this week to prepare for this big match. We need to stick to the basics and be accurate at our set pieces. In these derbies, you only have one or two clear opportunities to score, and we'll need to take them when they come our way.'
Affies 1st XV head coach Sakkie van der Walt echoed the same sentiments, but reckons that Klofies will rely on their kickers.
'The forwards battle will be huge, but I heard they kick quite a lot. We'll be prepared for that kind of approach,' said Van der Walt.
Waterkloof – 15 Sean Phillips, 14 Johann Gouws, 13 Raynardt Honiball, 12 Lourens Boddington, 11 Francois de Kock, 10 Kobus Marais, 9 Just Phillips, 8 Nardus Erasmus, 7 Marnus Steyn (c), 6 Shaun Pike, 5 Henco Saayman, 4 Ian Barnard, 3 Johan van Wyk, 2 Jovan Erasmus, 1 Xander van Wyk.
Coach: Jan Mollentze
Affies – 15 Marcus Kleinbooi, 14 Thys van Wyk, 13 Phillip Orfer, 12 Nico Lee, 11 Andries van der Merwe, 10 Ryno Eksteen, 9 Ivan van Zyl, 8 Calvonn Allisson, 7 Steven Meiring, 6 Heinrich Viljoen, 5 Janse van Rensburg (c), 4 RG Snyman, 3 Xander Swart, 2 Francois Steyn, 1 Pierre Schoeman.

Now that this winter season leagues is coming to an end i'm asking for feed back to better next winters Snow Globe league.
My feelings
We play on Saturday for many reasons.
1. won't interfere with O.C. series league.
2. No longer interfere with NFL playoffs
3. No longer interfere with NASCAR races
Tighten up where we play even more so.
1 trip to B.T.
forget F.F. all together
& play more at our local courses.
I feel that keeping the singles & doubles is good
Maybe offer PDGA rated rounds on singles play
Courses i would like to have on the schedule for 2013 / 2014
Jim Ashtons
1 stop at B.T. Doubles
& if any new courses pop up within 30 minute drive of Louisville.
THANKS for all & any of your input.

Gaston County Schools aims to be at the forefront of paying for performance by creating a plan that would bump up educator salaries in response to student success.
The idea of paying educators based on how well their students perform isn't new. School systems across the U.S. have created merit pay systems with varying degrees of success.
Lawmakers brought merit pay into the state spotlight with the Excellent Public Schools Act in 2011.
The Pay for Excellence provision calls on local school boards to create a system of performance-based pay for all licensed employees and submit those plans to the State Board of Education by March 1.
Stephen Lehman is among a group of educators charged with creating a pay-for-performance model that could be implemented in Gaston County and possibly throughout the state.
"If the State Board (of Education) wants pilots, I want Gaston County Schools to be a pilot," said John Tutterow, assistant superintendent of human resources at a recent school board instruction committee meeting. "There are very few school systems that are developing a plan."
Making merit pay
The alternative pay doesn't take money away. Teachers and other certified staff would still get receive their base pay that's the same across the state. But they'd be able to earn more money based on meeting certain requirements. Lehman sees the plan as a way to help retain teachers, reduce turnover and boost teacher effectiveness.
"This plan is also focusing on not just 'Are you doing your job?' but 'Are you doing an excellent job?'" said Lehman, who has been teaching in Gaston County Schools for seven years. "It focuses on exceeding expectations, which I think is another key."
The law requires school systems to include five components when creating a pay for performance plan: students' annual growth in a teacher's classroom, students' annual growth at a school, taking on additional academic responsibilities, working at a hard-to-staff school and teaching a hard-to-staff subject area.
The team added two additional measures into the mix: teacher attendance and student annual growth within a grade level, subject area or professional learning community — a group of staff members who meet together to analyze numbers and lesson plans to see what works best for student learning.
Teachers could earn up to $10,000 extra a year if they meet all the criteria. Implementing the plan will cost several million dollars, Tutterow said. The school system is calculating the cost in a few schools. Officials hope the state will pick up the tab.
"Since the state put it out there, it's our hope that the state will fund it," Tutterow said. "If not, we will pursue grants."
This money isn't based on how many students pass end-of-year tests — something that's caused resistance in other school systems. It's based on seeing students develop.
"It's going to be based on student achievement — the student achievement of my kids in my class," said Carr Elementary first-grade teacher Susan Lineberger.
"It measures my students' growth from the beginning of the year to when they leave. And that's fair."
Lots of variables come into play when dealing with achievement. Students come to school with different circumstances that a teacher can't control, said Lineberger, who has been teaching in Gaston County Schools for 27 years and is a part of the team that created the alternative-pay proposal.
"But you can control what you're doing in your classroom," said Lineberger. "You know where that child is at the beginning and you can make them grow while they're in the classroom."

Pay for performance details
Under a proposed pay-for-performance plan, Gaston County Schools would pay educators more for things like having high student achievement, taking on more responsibilities and being in a school that's hard to staff. Here's a look at what's being proposed:
Students exceed expectations: $1,500
Schoolwide students' growth exceeds expectations: $500
Serve as a mentor to a beginning teacher: $2,000
Work in hard-to-staff schools*: $300 a month plus $3,000 at the end of the third year (must agree to a minimum of three years)
Teaching hard to staff subject areas**: $2,000; pro-rated if employee is part time or shared between schools
Taking less than five sick and personal days during the school year: $500 paid at the end of the year
Students exceeding expectations at grade level, professional learning community or subject: $500
Other certified school staff can earn pay for performance based on schools exceeding goals and working in hard-to-staff schools for a minimum of three years.
Teachers, principals and assistant principals on mandatory improvement plans aren't eligible.
*Hard to staff schools would be based on risk factors such as student mobility, transiency, number of special needs students, student attendance, free and reduced lunch and more.
**Hard to staff subject areas for the past five years has been math, science, Spanish, English as a second language and special education. Technology education and health occupations have been difficult to fill subjects the past few years.

This page outlines the history support that is anticipated to be part of Activiti 5.0.
The history module provides access to historic process execution data and acts as a data provider for basic process execution reports and statistics. In an initial version, the history module should just provide enough information to feed simple statistical reports and queries about process instance / activity instance executions and their executon times.
Semantics: History vs. Audit
While history is focussing on the fact that and when a specific process or activity has been executed and how long it took to execute it, audit aims for providing comprehensive information on what exactly has been done during a process execution. Typically, the data provided by history builds the base for creating reports and statistics while audit aims for satisfying the regulatory/legal requirements of providing traceability and information on who changed what and from what value to what new value. Due to this different requirements, the natural data model for history and audit differ fundamentally: a history data model contains a consolidated view on executed process steps, optimized for querying, an audit data model in contrast focus on persisting the actual events together with the context data (user, condition evaluations, process data, ...) needed to trace the change.
Scope of the initial history support is limited to reporting/statistics, not audit. Based on the current process event bus infrastructure, an audit component could be built without any dependency or relation to the history support.
The following reports should be included in Activiti 5.0:
- # of process instances created within a time range, grouped by process definitions
- minimal, maximal, and average execution process instance execution time, grouped by process definitions
- minimal, maximal, and average execution time for activity instances for a specific process definition
Reports are provided by a specific report service, that in turn uses the history mechanism for accessing basic historic data.
These reports should be made available as a chart within Activity Probe or Explorer (TBD).
Data Model
The history data model consists of two main relations:
- processInstanceId
- processDefinitionId
- startTime
- endTime
- duration
- activityInstanceId
- activityId
- activityName
- activityType
- processInstanceId
- processDefinitionId
- startTime
- endTime
- duration
Italic attributes are there for providing a denormalized data view optimized for querying from external tools, directly based on the history data tables (e.g. activities can be grouped by processDefinitionId without the need for performing a join on the historic process instance table). As a consequence, the two relations are not linked in any way (i.e. no foreign key from historic activity instances to historic process instances). The same attributes and structure are reflected in the entities.
The history data model is built and maintained by specific event consumers that listen to process instances started/ended and activity instance started/ended event propagated by the process event bus.
A historic data service will provide access to historic data in a read-only way. The history data service is configured globally per process engine and is accessible via the process engine configuration.
Query API
The query API allows for describing and executing queries against historic process and activity instances. The query API is designed in a "fluent" way, similar to the query APIs for tasks or jobs. Access to the query object is provided through the history data service. The query API is not intended to superseed direct access to the historic data tables, but provides access to historic data in a convenient way for programmatic queries.
The query API supports the following features:
- restrictions: by processInstanceId, processDefinitionId, activityId, activityType (combinations of restrictions possible, depending on historic data type), date ranges (start / end)
- sorting: by startDate, processInstanceId (single sorting only)
- grouping: by processDefinitionId

Your opinion regarding our website
by artsnorthwest - 2/14/13 8:06 AM
I'd like to convince my boss that we need a new website - we had it done over 5 years ago. She thinks it would cost too much to have a new one - but with all the new templates and WordPress, I think we could have a new one for a reasonable price.
I'd like your feedback please - could you take a look at www.artsnw.org (Arts Northwest) and give me your opinion of the design?

One of the debates in the run-up to the European ban on cosmetics testing on animals was the effect on science and business. Would it encourage new approaches, or might it stifle innovation?
As the ban approached, the answer started to become clear. Companies accelerated work on alternative methods, to ensure that they would not be left behind as the traditional animal tests were blocked off. As with other social reforms, from the Factory Acts to equal pay for women, the prospect of reform throughout industry brings about a radical change in attitudes. As long countries have an option to do something the way they have always done it, the temptation will always be to carry on, but if that approach becomes unlawful, the companies rethink how they do business. Once the change is done, it becomes unthinkable to go back – nobody would propose reintroducing child workers into factories, and the idea of testing shampoo on the eyes of rabbits trapped in 'stocks' is now seen with horror in Europe – even though it still continues elsewhere.
We are now seeing the next stage: companies and research institutes which led the way in alternatives are finding a rapidly expanding market, as similar bans or proposals for bans appear in locations as diverse as the USA, India, Israel and Brazil. In the Market & Markets report this month cited by leading industry magazine Cosmetics Design Europe, the impact was analysed in detail [1]. The report details the size and growth of in-vitro toxicology and toxicity testing markets across the world and states that Europe is to hold its position as largest until 2018. Since Europe led the way to the ban, its companies faced the challenge of change earlier and are now in a strong position to export their know-how to the other countries introducing bans across the world. New European companies such as the British training and research enterprise XCellR8 [2] are appearing to take advantage of the expanding markets.
The attraction of adopting modern technology is also a factor, as Cruelty Free International is finding even in countries not traditionally associated with animal welfare, such as Korea (where the leading companies are ending animal testing) and Vietnam. In May, Cruelty Free International is financing a conversion of the Government laboratories from animal to non-animal testing for cosmetics and other products. The numerous markets in Vietnam have products of varying quality, so the Government makes spot checks on quality and content, in the same way as Trading Standards in Britain. Up to now, cosmetics and been tested with rabbits and mice, but Cruelty Free International has organised a week-long course with the latest equipment to enables the laboratories to convert. Vietnam, in turn, has proposed to regulators in the ASEAN regional market that the whole region now considers moving to end animal testing for cosmetics – after which the Vietnamese laboratories will be well-placed to offer their expertise to companies through the region. Cruelty Free International contributors have made the change possible that should ripple out over the coming years, saving countless animals across South Asia.
Changes like this serve multiple goals. From the viewpoint of our animal protection campaign, the obvious benefit is simply that more and more animals are saved from suffering. For the laboratories, the appeal is the chance to use the latest technology and find new, profitable markets for their services. And for business, once they have converted to testing with no-animal methods, the appearance of new bans on animal tests around the world poses no threat, and unifying global regulation on a simple non-cruel standard makes better business sense than a jungle of different regulations.
Traditionally, the media have liked to present the animal testing issue as a confrontation between ethical values and economic success. In reality, though, moving to modern non-animal alternatives often offers benefits for all concerned. For the businesses. For the scientists. And for the animals, who will soon never again need to suffer for the sake of a new shampoo.

MARK KEOHANE, in his weekly Business Day column, says Super Rugby is not the measure of a Test player.
All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has got the mix right with his first national training squad of 35. And I know Bok coach Heyneke Meyer will look to a similar balancing act of youth and experience.
Super Rugby form is an indicator but is not the definitive measure of a Test player, and there are those who thrive in the claustrophobic cauldron of Test rugby but never respond to the more forgiving platform that encourages flamboyance and excuses mistakes.
So many players look sensational in Super Rugby and quite the opposite in Test rugby. It is why the good Test coaches and selectors understand what makes a good Test player, but not necessarily what makes a player good.
Jake White always used to say the 15 best players are not necessarily the best 15. As an example, the best 6, 7 and 8 when assessed individually may not necessarily be the best 6, 7 and 8 combination.
Test rugby is more about combinations than individuals, but it is definitely about experience more than youth.
Hansen has rewarded six of the New Zealand U20s from the victorious 2011 Junior World Championship campaign and he has included 21 Test veterans from the World Cup-winning squad, many of whom have been poor in Super Rugby.
Among the poorest performers has been Blues lock Ali Williams. Hansen described the player as an enigma, reminding the critics that while Williams had often been poor in Super Rugby, he had seldom played a poor Test match in 73 internationals.
Super Rugby is a fantastic medium for players to showcase attacking skills. The majority of the matches are played at a frantic pace, tries are scored and taking a risk is applauded.
Attack generally rules the mind over defence (unless you find yourself in the Stormers change room) and the emotional demands can't be compared with those of a Test match.
The point that there is a difference in mentality when playing Super Rugby and Currie Cup to Test rugby can never be emphasised enough. Some players live only for Test rugby, while others can't live with the emotional stress that one mistake can often determine a Test result.
There will always be exceptions — players who can adapt their game with ease and prosper in any environment, and the exceptional players dominate Test rugby as 20-year-olds. Think Dan Carter, Frans Steyn and James O'Connor.
Generally players need time to settle into Test rugby and they need the comfort of turning to experience.
White, post 2007's World Cup success, singled out Os du Randt and Percy Montgomery's experience as among the most powerful aspects of the Boks.
Experience should also not be confused with a player's age. Experience at Test level is about a player having regular exposure to mental stress and positively overcoming this stress.
Chiefs loose forward Liam Messam is a very good player. If all one had to assess him on was his provincial and Super Rugby history, he could even be described as an exceptional player. However, he has never been imposing or inspiring in a Test jumper.
The All Blacks midfield pairing of Frank Bunce and Walter Little played for a limited Chiefs team and, because of the quality of their side and the hapless environment, often looked no more than a half-decent centre partnership. Yet for a decade they were considered among the best the world had seen when playing for the All Blacks. They were an example of players whose qualities as Test players were always more seductive than their Super Rugby form.
In this year's Super Rugby, Hurricanes fullback Andre Taylor and Crusaders centre Robbie Freuen have on occasion looked magnificent, but it was no surprise they weren't included in the initial All Blacks squad. Both are damn good players, but both have limitations and flaws to their games. These limitations can be excused in Super Rugby, but Taylor's poor line-kicking game is more significant than his ability to revel on attack in expansive, 40 plays 30 Super Rugby matches.
Meyer, in selecting his first Bok squad, will be accused of Bulls bias, of having a prejudice against attacking mindsets and of not introducing a new generation and a new era.
Those bashing him will use Super Rugby form, league positions and even a Currie Cup performance (team or individual) in justification of their stance. But for the debate to be relevant and insightful there has to be an understanding that it isn't as simple as the 15-best start and Super Rugby form.
It also isn't as simple as taking kids in 2012 to build a team that challenges for the 2015 World Cup.
The revolution in Bok rugby will be when the support base recognises the revolution is actually an evolution.

Unbeaten Maties are likely to end defending champions UCT's semi-final hopes in Stellenbosch on Monday night.
The Cape derby between Maties and UCT has been a closely-contested highlight in the Varsity Cup throughout its history: from the annual league meetings at the Green Mile or Danie Craven Stadium to the 2008 and 2010 finals. However, this season's match should see the hosts win comfortably.
Three-time champions Maties have returned to their best form after a disappointing 2011 campaign, where they failed to qualify for the play-offs for the first time. They're currently enjoying a five-match winning streak and are on course for a home semi-final berth. Ikeys have experienced a nightmare title-defending run this year, with only one win from their five fixtures. They will be disappointed with their 29-29 draw against Pukke at home last week, considering they led 24-5 at the break, but it's a result that still gives them slim hopes of finishing in the top four.
Ikeys will need to avoid defeat in the last two rounds to keep their title ambitions alive, but it's unlikely that the students from Stellenbosch will fold to their southern-suburb rivals, who have been the impostors of the unit they were in 2012. Maties have won five of the six encounters between the two teams and have never lost to Ikeys at home. Expect an easy Maties win.
The other interesting fixture will see UJ travel to Potchefstroom to tackle a physical Pukke outfit. Victory will give the visitors a big chance of finishing in the top two, while the hosts will take a big step towards qualifying for the semi-finals should they win. Pukke have been impressive at home, but UJ haven't lost since the opening round and have scored 143 points over the past two weeks.
Tuks will entertain NMMU in Pretoria, but the home side should be too strong for the Madibaz. While NMMU have picked up some surprising wins this season, they will struggle to beat a strong Tuks side. The Shimlas-TUT clash is a dead-rubber match, as both sides will not finish in the top four. Shimlas will win comfortably.

Here's a list of 10 books, in no particular order, that I've enjoyed this year.
Since I don't have easy access to English-language books, I chose mine carefully. Although I usually like to read books about food, I got a bit literate and discovered few books about Paris that were truly enlightening…which is really saying something for someone that hasn't lifted the lid on a history book since high school.
In addition to the books I've listed below, I've also enjoyed La Bonne Cuisine de Madame St-Ange, the updated On Food and Cooking by Harold McGee, and Rememberence of Things Paris, some of the greatest food writing from Gourmet magazine from the past sixty years that is still some of the freshest and liveliest food prose happily back in print.
And on a sad note, I've finally given up on La Poste and assumed the two cases of cookbooks I shipped three years ago probably aren't going to ever show up (hope is no longer springing eternal…), so I ordered a fresh, brand-new copy of Julia Child's classic, Mastering the Art of French Cooking.
A few books I'm looking forward to reading in 2007 are The Sweet Life: The Desserts from Chanterelle by pastry chef Kate Zuckerman, and books from my favorite bloggers, including Shauna, Adam's untitled masterwork, Chocolate & Zucchini by Clotilde Dusoulier, and Super Natural Cooking by Heidi Swanson of 101 Cookbooks.
The most talked-about food book of the year, New Yorker writer Bill Buford starts from scratch in the kitchen of Mario Batali, then learns to make pasta by hand from an Italian master, and ends up butchering in Tuscany.

Information For:
Careers in Psychology
Is there work life beyond a bachelor's degree in Psychology?
A Bachelor's degree in Psychology offers broad training and is often used as a starting point for several different careers. Some psychology majors pursue graduate study in psychology or related fields (see the Graduate Study in Psychology page). Most psychology majors, however, seek employment upon graduation. Psychology majors commonly seek employment with government or social service agencies, in the medical field (e.g, hospitals, research labs), or in business (e.g., personnel, sales).
We encourage undergraduate students to contact Kent State's Career Services Center (CSC), located in Schwartz Center 261 for more information about careers and job opportunities. They have a variety of free services for Kent State students. At the CSC, students can talk to a career counselor and receive advice on how to search for a job, write a resume, and interview etiquette. The CSC also provides information about career fairs and other resources for finding available jobs.
Where can I learn more about careers in Psychology?
- See our Quick Guide, including degree requirements and expected salaries, of Psychology Jobs.
- APA Careers in Psychology discusses what careers graduates with bachelor's, master's, or doctorate degrees often pursue. It also has information about what psychologists do and subfields in psychology.
- Occupational Outlook Handbook from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to view facts and characteristics.
- O*Net Online provides updated information for all job types including salary rates, job descriptions, and common occupation locations.
- What can I do with this major? Provides information on career paths in Psychology, Sociology, Counseling, Public Health, etc.

Today, I worked on the visualization of death and understanding impermanence. I have done it before, and I just want to share my joy at knowing that, over and over, the Dharma proves useful. Useful is not the right word. Completely spot on.
My sister was born premature with only one functioning kidney. She is in stage four of renal failure. It was confirmed last week. At first, I don't think I knew how to react. I knew she had problems, but I did not fully comprehend the situation until today.
I swept the floor and got comfortable. After meditation, I cried for about three minutes. A minute of breathing exercises and my mind was calm. My suffering is so small when compared with the combined suffering of all sentient beings. What a relief. What a gift.
I am completely content. My sister will die, my mother, father, and brother will die. I will die. My reaction to this is acceptance and peace. My ability to summon this reaction is improving, and knowing this causes great happiness.
The last year was really rough. Changing the habits and foibles of a lifetime, of several lifetimes, is hard sometimes, but I am really seeing the results of my intensified practice manifest in my life every single day, now.
It's weird, but I keep expecting something to shake me enough that I will lose my peace, and each time I find myself disturbed, I can regain calm fairly quickly. It's almost like I am developing a mental muscle memory, if that makes any sense. Does anyone else find their practice a way of life? Does it still delight you?

My daughter started there last September, and loves it! From what I see (as anyone who has secondary school age kids will know that they never say much about school!) it's a very good school. The headteacher is an absolute STAR! Her enthusiasm is infectious!
I am very happy with it, and my daughter is doing well and enjoying it

My brother started in September just gone and is like a different child. He was very shy and reserved and now the cocky teenage attitude has kicked in Bless him. He is much more confident and has met a broader group of people. Im very impressed so far. I went there but left in 2006 at the end of year 11 and recieved 9 A*-C GCSEs.

My son got 3 excellent A levels and 2 good AS levels. He's now in a top university studying chemistry. If your child wants to learn and has your support, they will do well. Most of the teachers are brilliant, and they're pretty good at recognising the faults of the so-so ones - if they don't pull their socks up they do tend to go. There's bullying at every school, but the peer counselling and mentoring is a big help and the school takes it seriously. All in all, we were very happy with it.

Gallery: New Green Element Hotel Opens in Times Square, New York!
Element Hotels, a branch of Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, Inc., is the first major hotel brand to mandate that all of its properties seek LEED certification. Element opened its first green hotel in 2008 in Lexington, Massachusetts, and has since spread across the country with openings in Denver, Baltimore, Las Vegas, Houston, and more.
I recently had the opportunity to stay at the new green Element Hotel and found it to be comfortable, chic, and surprisingly well-designed and classy for a 'budget' hotel.
One of the things I love the most about the hotel is that the rooms all come with fully-furnished kitchens! Yes, you heard me right: refrigerators, microwaves, stoves, ovens, and even cookware, dishes and utensils. It seems that Element Hotel Times Square is geared toward longer-term stays, but even for short-term stays this factor is wonderful. As any budget or eco-conscious traveler can attest to; it is really nice to have some refrigerator space and reheating options for leftover restaurant meals, and it is even better to be able to cook when you are traveling. I love that the design of the Element Hotel allows for both of these money and waistline-saving activities.
But, for those of you who are too rushed to cook, the hotel offers a complimentary breakfast buffet of low-fat wraps and fruit smoothies, and a health food snack bar. There is a gorgeous rooftop terrace – which is one of the highlights of the hotel – with stunning views of the nearby (green) New York Times building and the Manhattan skyline.

It's a good step to use more eco friendly materials in construction and furnishing… but to be actually environmentally conscious with an impact, and not just a marketable veneer, I think it will be great if the focus is more on the day to day operations of the hotel — which I will think are longer lasting and have more effect on the environment.
For example, how are the sheets washed? the floors? heating, cooling, energy source? solar panels? microwave and fridge when not in use? (which consume quite a bit of power even when they are idle)
How about the numerous toiletries in plastic bottles and bags that usually litter the washroom? (on the website they claim the use of dispenser but in the photo it still shows soap in bag and lotion in plastic bottle)
Is the roof top terrace a green roof? doesn't seem like it… and why not?
It's a nice gesture but I will personally like to see a more bolder approach. For me it seems they picked mostly from the easy-to-do list. They keep mentioning "pursuing LEED" "aims for LEED certification" but at no where states what certification they actually get, if any. (And the constant use of "Green" is also really borderline-ing greenwashing… a branding exercise)

Haha, are you kidding me? Michael Jordan is freaking MICHAEL JORDAN! NO 19 year old should be able to beat him, even at 50.

I have 2 boys. They both played hoops as I did. The rule is universal. Once dad hits 50yrs old, beating him doesn't count. If it was 51, I would have been toast!!
OF COURSE Michael Kidd-Gilchrist ALLOWED his 50 year old boss and team owner MJ to beat him in a game of one on one because he's the boss and when the media asked him about his 50 year old boss "the greatest ever" and his "defeat" of course he was going to say EXACTLY what he said.
He has no choice.
It's just that simple.
