About IUCN Regional Office for West Asia (ROWA)
About IUCN Regional Office for West Asia (ROWA)
The IUCN West Asian region comprises of 13 countries including Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, the Occupied Palestinian Territory, the Syrian Arab Republic, Yemen and Iran in addition to the Gulf countries including Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates. West Asia is part of three eco-regions that incorporate a variety of ecosystems, including Mediterranean forests, deserts, plains, rangelands, savannas, oases, mountains, rivers, lakes, springs, mudflats, swamps, marshes, mangroves, seagrass beds and coral reefs, all of which provide a wide array of ecosystem services and ecological corridors for migratory species through the region.
The West Asia and North Africa region is the most arid in the world and water resources are consequently very scarce. The drylands of West Asia and North Africa will be the most affected by droughts and high temperatures in the years to come. Climate change will be manifested in limited rainfall, increasing temperatures with extreme very low temperatures cases, coupled with frequent long dry periods, together with natural hazards such as wildfires and floods. On the other hand, West Asia is plagued by political instability and conflict, which are having drastic impacts on people's security, livelihoods and conservation, while it will be affected by climate change that will threaten livelihoods further through disasters.
West Asia has recently undergone profound ecological changes. According to fragmented assessments, the region has suffered a substantial loss of biodiversity and a degradation of habitats as a result of human activities. The environment is dominated by limited water resources, a scarcity of arable land, fragile ecosystems and episodic droughts. (Source: State of Biodiversity in West Asia, UNEP)
IUCN Regional Office for West Asia (ROWA) was established in October 2004 covering the region of West Asia, Central Asia and North Africa (WESCANA). In June 2007, the regionalization and decentralization of IUCN resulted in a more manageable and coherent geography for the (WESCANA) region. The new region now referred to as West Asia covers 13 countries which include: Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq and Iran.
IUCN ROWA is working in cooperation with its members, partners, commissions and donors to shape and define future sustainable development agenda in the region. This is done through coordinating environmental activities at regional and local levels; particularly in relation to regional environmental agreements and global environmental conventions. At the same time, IUCN enhances knowledge, empowerment and governance around biodiversity and water resources management through projects in the field. IUCN ROWA also focuses on a multi-stakeholder decision process involving governments, civil society and research institutions. Environmental awareness is a key issue for making a difference, thus the office facilitates communication, coordination, and information exchange among different actors in the region.
In 2005, the IUCN ROWA was granted an observer status in the Arab League after a decision made by the Council of the Arab Ministers Responsible for the Environment (CAMRE). During 2006 and 2007, IUCN ROWA has been an active participant in the technical committee for environmental conventions in the Arab League by taking the lead on activating the RAMSAR convention in the Region. This is a unique opportunity for IUCN to foster, promote and evolve a regional approach for environmental conservation and to provide the IUCN global experience to the Arab World.

|Introduction | Sony RX1 sensor performance | Sony RX1 versus competition | Conclusion
The new Sony RX1 offers discerning photographers the unique proposition of a full frame CMOS sensor and fixed 35mm f/2 prime lens in a compact shell. Perfect if you're after great image quality without the bulk, weight and inconvenience of a large DSLR. But how will the RX1 perform in the DxOMark Sensor Scores?
Launched in October 2012 the Sony RX1 is the world's first compact camera with a full-frame 24x36mm CMOS sensor. Featuring a fixed 35mm f/2 lens and 24 megapixel sensor in a petite shell the RX1 is designed for professionals after a discreet compact with excellent image quality. This places the RX1 firmly in the photojournalist and street photographer category and its unique offering of a full-frame sensor in a compact means it comes with a hefty $2,800 price tag.
The second release in the RX range of fixed lens compacts the RX1 sits above the more consumer orientated RX100, which features a 20-megapixel 1" sensors and costs $649. The RX range complements Sony's existing NEX range of Hybrid cameras featuring an APS-C sensor, as well as their line-up of DLSR style SLT cameras featuring Sony's own Translucent Mirror Technology.
The RX1 doesn't offer a viewfinder as standard, although the V1K optical viewfinder is available separately for $600. There is however a built in flash and a hotshoe that's compatible with both standard and Sony proprietary flashguns. The ISO range extends between 100-25600, there's a dedicated aperture ring, 5 user-customizable buttons, 1.23M dot LCD, 1080p video capture and 14cm minimum focus for close-ups.
So lots on offer, but with a plethora of other Hybrids available and other fixed lens offerings like the $1,200 Fuji X100, $999 Sigma DP2 or $1,995 Leica X2 on the market is the RX1 the camera you want? The DxOMark Sensor Scores can help you decide…
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
To website
We said the RX1 was a brave step for Sony - a truly top-end product from a brand still establishing its photographic reputation at that level. And it's a gamble that pays-off to a great degree. The RX1 is much more than a brand-enhancing flagship that few people will ever get to use - it's also truly effective as a camera.

RX1 Sonnar lens mid zone dip
Hi there,
I was wondering if you noticed a mild mid zone dip with the RX1 lens? I just got the cam and the lens seems to dip slightly about 1/3 out from the centre. I also find that the corners are sharper than this area....?

Re: RX1 Sonnar lens mid zone dip
Thanks for your interest in DxOMark.
You can check the sharpness measurement for the RX1 lens here:
You are right, sharpness is lower at 1/3 of the field.

Sharpness at f2.0 vs f3.2
I like the RX1 a lot, but center sharpness gets A LOT better when stopping down from f2.0 to f2.8 or f3.2. At 100% view, this is fully field relevant: Details and sharpness at 2.0 are okay, from 3.2 they are brilliant. I must admit to be somewhat disappointed by that. Does this practical view fit to Your lab results (which are somewhat abstract to me), i.e. is that "perfectly normal" or did I get a bad copy ?
Yours sincerely

Re: Sharpness at f2.0 vs f3.2
Hello Martin,
Thanks for your interest in DxOMark.
You are right but we would not say "a lot", as we measured a slight loss of sharpness at f/2.0 and we did not measure any significant difference between f/2.8 and f/4.
To be convinced you should have a look to the acutance field map.
Best regards,
The DxOMark team

nice review
Thank you for the review. Looks to be a remarkable camera!
Though not really cross comparable, the Pentax K5 apsc dslr's measure an equally very healthy 14.3 EVS... until one can afford the sony the K5 is still pretty remarkable, especially for those like me on a budget.
We live in a remarkable age to have so many great cameras and reviews at such an easy reach.
Thanks again!

DXO: What is selected for RX1's Transmission to decide it's SNR Score?
I would like to know what is selected for RX1's Transmission Score to decide it's SNR.
T = 2.1 or 2.0?
And if the above selection is not correct, RX1's SNR Score may be changed?
(E.g. If the selected value is 2.0 and the real value is 2.1, the total amount of the light, which reaches to Sensor in real value, is about 10% lower than the selected value)

Re: DXO: What is selected for RX1's Transmission to decide it's SNR Score?
Thanks for your comment.
You're right regarding the potential bias. In the example you note, it could be close to 14% meaning less than ¼ of Stop.
As we cannot measure the TStop on compact camera we decide to use the aperture, so in this case 2.0.
Best regards,

High ISO way better than Sony A99
What's up with the RX1 doing so much better than the A99 on the high ISO score? I thought they're supposed to have similar sensors but the RX1 seems to perform significantly better. Is that all chalked up to the A99's pellicle mirror?
Added by Calistoga Tony | January 09, 2013
Another mistake?
First it's saying that Sony uses BSI type image sensors in their dSLRs, (they don't, those are Exmor "R") and now the RX100 has an APS-C sensor? It doesn't. The RX100 uses a 1 inch sensor, like the Nikon 1 series.

This is the RX1; it as an APS-C sensor.

The DxO mark team has answered to this question of their facebook page. Here it is :
The Fuji X-Pro 1 and X-E1 sensor does not use a Bayer matrix, but rather a very different matrix whose pixels are arranged in rows of three colors — a technology called "X-Trans", inspired by the naturally irregular distribution of silver halide crystals on film. As for the Fuji X10, XF1 and X-S1, they use a CMOS EXR sensor with yet another different arrangement.
The demosaicing algorithms of DxOMark lab that allow it to analyse digital camera RAW photo files were designed to process the output of sensors using the Bayer matrix.
Testing these five Fuji cameras would necessitate completely rewriting our demosaicing algorithms to enable them to process the data received from this different matrix. Although DxO Labs tries to respond to photographers' requests to provide test for specific camera models, there are no plans for testing these five Fuji cameras in the short term.

Time to start rewriting now. X Pro-1 and its successors are not going away.

|The Equity Point New York @ Times Square in Manhattan
New York Guide
Times Square is one of New York City's top attractions. There's no better place to feel the excitement and the vibe of New York than right at Times Square. The neon lights, the billboards, the Broadway theaters and television studios all create an energy that hums and glows and draws a crowd at any time of day or night.
And, of course, if you like theatre, you shouldn't miss the famous Broadway and Off-Broadway plays. With Tony Awards winning plays and musicals performed by famous Hollywood stars.
If you want a pleasant stroll to disconnect a bit from the hustle and bustle of New York, you can relax at Central Park. It's the perfect place to run, play outdoor sports or just have a rest for a while and enjoy this oasis of nature in the heart of New York City. And of course, there are some major attractions such as a zoo, playgrounds for children, a carousel, two ice skating rinks, glaciated rock outcroppings, carriage horses, pedicabs and a Swedish marionette theatre.
Manhattan is renowned for its impressive architecture, and two of its most famous landmarks are the Empire StateBuilding and the Brooklyn Bridge. Nowadays the Empire State Building, located on 5th avenue, is the tallest skyscraper in New York City and it was the world's tallest for over 40 years.
The Brooklyn Bridge is one of the first suspension bridges built in the United States and the first made with steel wire. Since its completion in 1883 it has been one of New York City's most famous landmarks. But perhaps the most meaningful and enduring images of the United States is the Statue of Liberty, a gift to the United States from France, and the first sight of their new home and dreamed-of freedom for scores of immigrants from all over the world.
When you visit New York City it's imperative to enjoy its nightlife. New York is the city that never sleeps, and has some of the most popular bars and clubs of the world.

The next step for Mike Sarbaugh is one he's worked decades to take.
All those minor league nights have finally brought him to the top level of his profession.
Sarbaugh, a former Kinston Indians player, coach and manager, was named to first-year Cleveland Indians skipper Terry Francona's staff this week.
For a man who has worked in the minors since 1989, getting to the major leagues on a full-time basis is the realization of a long-sought goal.
"I'm really excited for the opportunity," Sarbaugh, who will coach first base and work with the Tribe's infielders, said Thursday. "I feel fortunate to have been asked to interview, and I feel fortunate also to be able to get the job. I'm looking forward to it."
Sarbaugh, 45, is believed to be the only man to work for the former Kinston franchise in all three on-field capacities.
He played as a utilityman for the K-Tribe briefly in 1990 and for 76 games in '91. After a six-year playing career that took him as far as the Triple-A level, Sarbaugh returned to Kinston as a hitting coach in '95.
In 2006, his third year as a minor league manager, he guided the K-Tribe to a Carolina League title, returning to take the team to the playoffs the following season.
Sarbaugh has since gone on to win three consecutive league titles as a manager, the first at Double-A Akron and the latter two at Triple-A Columbus, where he spent last season at the helm.
Francona, who guided the Boston Red Sox to World Series titles in 2004 and '07, was hired last month after the Indians fired Manny Acta.
Sarbaugh first met Francona when Francona worked as a special advisor to the Indians' front office in 2001. Their paths hadn't crossed since then, Sarbaugh said, but Francona remembered.
"I've always followed his career," Francona told MLB.com. "That was kind of an easy (hire). That was a fun one."
The respect is mutual. Sarbaugh, who has a career record of 697-511 (.577) in nine minor league seasons and hopes to manage in the big leagues someday, is a fan of Francona's work.
"Especially with the success Terry's had managing, to be able to be selected to be on his staff, it's an honor," Sarbaugh said.
A Shillington, Pa., native, Sarbaugh served as Cleveland's interim bench coach for the final six games of the regular season after Acta was fired.
Sarbaugh believes his familiarity with current Tribe infielders like Jason Kipnis, Lonnie Chisenhall and Asdrubal Cabrera — all of whom have played for him at one time or another — will help with his transition to the major leagues.
Meanwhile, he's grateful to have climbed the ladder.
"You think about all the hard work you put in over the years, and there's a lot of people that haven't been given those opportunities that have put in just as much time," Sarbaugh said. "So you feel fortunate that you're given that opportunity."

CINCINNATI--The Miami University men's basketball team dropped a 77-51 decision on Wednesday night to Xavier University. The contest was the 100th meeting between the two teams and was played inside the Cintas Center in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Miami (0-3) and the Musketeers traded baskets for much of the first half and following a jumper by sophomore center John Hawkins the game was tied at 15-15 with 12:34 left in the opening frame. XU concluded the first half on a 21-9 run to take a 36-24 advantage into the locker room.
In the first half XU made 5-of-10 three-pointers while the RedHawks connected on just 2-of-12 buckets from behind the arc. For the game, Xavier was 9-of-21 from three, while Miami was 5-of-23 on three-pointers.
Xavier (4-0) outscored the Red and White 41-27 in the second half.
Sophomore guard Geovonie McKnight led Miami in scoring with 10 points. Senior forward Will Felder and freshman forward Joshua Oswald each finished with eight points. Oswald, who established a new career-high in scoring, was a perfect 2-for-2 from behind the arc.
Senior guard Quinten Rollins led Miami with five rebounds and freshman guard Jaryd Eustace finished with four boards and tied for a team-high with three assists. Senior center Blake McLimans finished the contest with five blocks, tied for the fifth-most in school history.
Xavier finished the game 30-of-59 shooting compared to Miami's 20-of-53 and out-rebounded the RedHawks 42-25.
Up next for the Red & White will be a home contest versus Wilmington College Saturday, Nov. 23 at 3 p.m. inside Millett Hall.

Mr. President,
1. At the outset I would like to express my appreciation to you, Mr. President, for convening this plenary Meeting on agenda item 132: Programme Budget for the biennium 2014-2015 contained in draft resolution A/69/422/Add.2 and I wish to address the General Assembly on section 1 of this draft resolution concerning a request for a subvention to the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC).
2. I would like to take this opportunity, to acknowledge with high appreciation the efforts of the Group of 77 and China for their support on the request for a subvention to both international and national components of the Chambers during the Fifth Committee's consultation in December last year.
3. At this resumed Session, I wish to confirm that in the spirit of partnership with the United Nations, the Royal Government of Cambodia supports the revised draft resolution on the request for the proposed subvention limited to the international component of the ECCC for 2015 with the confidence that the UN will be in a position to provide financial assistance to the national component of the ECCC, when necessary.
4. For the last two years, we have seen that the ECCC encountered shortfalls, which led to the disruption of the operation of the Chambers. Therefore, it is significant that we jointly work to find a better way to address the funding not only for the international component, but also for the national component of the ECCC. Mr. President,5. Once again, my delegation wishes to thank the UN Secretary General for his comprehensive report as contained in document A/69/536, in which he has envisaged the overall atmosphere of the on-going developments and the challenges of the ECCC. The Report has also captured what has been achieved so far since the establishment of the hybrid Courts in 2006 with the close collaboration between the Royal Government of Cambodia and the United Nations.
6. The Royal Government of Cambodia always cooperates with its partners and all parties concerned in the ECCC process to ensure the smooth and continued functioning of the Chambers as the hearing on evidences of Case 002/02 against Khieu Samphan, former Democratic Kampuchea's Head of State, and Nuon Chea, former Chairman of the Democratic Kampuchea People's Assembly, is in the process of being conducted by the Chambers. You may be aware that on 7 August 2014, under the Case 002/01, these two top leaders of the Khmer Rouge were found guilty of crimes against humanity and sentenced to life imprisonment.Mr. President,7. Since its inception in 2006, the ECCC has been receiving shared contributions from the Royal Government of Cambodia in kind and cash. As pledged by Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo HUN SEN, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia, during his meeting with H.E. BAN Ki-moon, United Nations Secretary General, in the margins of the ASEAN Summit in November 2014 in Myanmar, the Royal Government of Cambodia has been and will be continuing to make its contribution to support the ECCC in 2015 totally amounting to USD 4.1 million. Out of this total amount, USD 1.6 million goes to the general operational cost and USD 2.5 million is for the payment of salaries for the national staff for the first half of 2015. The above total funding pledge of USD 4.1 million is equivalent approximately to 62% of the 2015 Revised Budget under the National Component.
8. Despite the above pledge by the Government of Cambodia, it is noted that there are still missing gaps to be filled in for the second semester of 2015. In this sense, while sincerely thanking our partners and donor countries for their financial supports, we would like to appeal to them to consider funding the remaining second semester of 2015 for the national component of the ECCC.
9. My delegation welcomes the Joint Statement of 25 March 2015 issued in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, by the Royal Government of Cambodia and the UN Secretary-General's Special Expert on UN Assistance to the Khmer Rouge Trials regarding the ECCC. In this Joint Statement, both sides expressed their continued full support for cooperation in the implementation of all provisions of the ECCC Law and the UN-Cambodia Agreement in order to discharge the judicial mandate and procedures of the ECCC. A Minute of Understanding was also signed regarding the way to operationalize the Legal Documentation Centre, the building of which was generously funded by the Government of Japan. 10. Finally, Mr. President, I hope that the United Nations will continue to work closely with the Royal Government of Cambodia to garner sufficient financial support from donor countries to secure the funding for the national component of the ECCC for 2015.
Statement by H.E. Mr. HOR Namhong
Deputy Prime Minister,
Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the Kingdom of Cambodia
The General Debate of the 69th Session of the United Nations General Assembly
New York, 29 September 2014
Mr. President,
Mr. Secretary General,
Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,
At the outset, allow me to warmly congratulate His Excellency Sam Kutesa of the Republic of Uganda, for his election as the President of the 69th Session of the United Nations General Assembly. I have full confidence that under your chairmanship the 69th session will proceed to a successful conclusion.
I would like also to take this opportunity to extend my high appreciation to His Excellency John William Ashe of Antigua and Barbuda for his wise leadership and relentless efforts as President of the 68th session in guiding us to many outstanding achievements during the last session.

I've got through half of the book by a former fundamentalist Mormon and one of six wives of an elder in the community. It's called Escape by Caroline Jessop.
It reads almost like a dystopian novel, except it's real, but still hard to believe. In her childhood, her dad got a revelation from the prophet to take on another wife which added to her already large family. Mormon women are baby machines and expected to bear as many children as possible. The more children, the more status and respect she has in the community. Caroline's plans to become a doctor were changed when her parents woke her up in the middle of the night after her graduation from high school to tell her the prophet had received a revelation telling her her new husband was to be a 50 yr. old man with three wives. She was married to the man that weekend after only having been introduced to him the day before and joined his ready made family of 3, now 4, wives and 30 children. These were just the ones still living at home!
One fascinating aspect to the story is Jessop's favored wife Barbara. She rules the hen house and reports on the other wives to "the father" and when Carolines new husband allows her to go to college (to be a teacher—doctor was out of the question) it is because she would not be there all the time vying for Jessop's affections. In addition to be domineering and manipulative, Barbara was also jealous. We learn that most polygamous marriages contain rivalries and domination by a favored wife. In reality, most sister-wives are not "in harmony" with fundamentalist latter-day saint values (FLDS). They are always in conflict with one another over chores, their husband, children, and social life—what little they have.
When Caroline did go off to college, Jessop's two oldest daughters still at home went with her. Not so much for the education, but as spies. The girls would report back to favored wife Barbara on any little discretion. When Caroline caught on their scheme, it failed to rile her. So then the girls would make stuff up about her. Then when Caroline went home, she'd get lectured by Jessolp for disobedience.
Another fascinating thing about her story are the family dynamics concerning the other wives. One of them is out of favor and spends her days sleeping and nights watching tv. Another one is emotionally unstable and does weird shit like prancing around and throwing dishes to get the devil out of them and trying to take all her clothes off in the family van to nurse a baby even though she had no more milk. During this time, the new prophet has a revelation and gives Jessop two more wives that "belonged" to the previous, now deceased, prophet.
There was also an interesting story about the division in the community involving the apostles and the prophet's successors. Depending on which side a family was on in the divide depended on where they sent their kids to school and which church building they met in. That feud lasted 7 years.
more to come…

Just as they were about to cross the finish line of the Surf City USA Marathon and Half Marathon in Huntington Beach on Sunday afternoon, the "Sole Sisters" – wearing their baby blue team tank tops – joined hands and crossed the finish line together.
For the casual onlooker, the excitement and joy the group displayed simply stemmed from the completion of a grueling physical task.
And while they were celebrating finishing the 13.1 mile course, crossing the finish line on Sunday was the culmination of a much longer journey.
The Sole Sisters
On Jan. 24, 2012, Julie Ditsworth, 38, and Shari Lara – friends since their senior year at Esperanza High (Class of 1992) – met up to celebrate Shari's 38th birthday. During the dinner, Ditsworth pitched the idea of running a half marathon.
"I just threw it out to her and said, 'This is on my bucket list, would you ever want to do a half (marathon)?'" Ditsworth recalled. "She just kind of looked at me, and I think the next day, she was on a treadmill."
Later that same week, Ditsworth sat with Andrea Barber, 36, and Danna Brookman, 40, at their sons' basketball game, when Barber brought up the Beach Cities Challenge – a series of three marathons run along different parts of the Pacific Coast Highway. As the rules state, the Orange County, Long Beach and Surf City marathons or half marathons must be completed consecutively within one calendar year.
By the end of the game, all three women agreed to complete the challenge, as did Lara.
The next step?
"We're women, so we have to have matching shirts," Barber said. "So it started with, 'Well, what color, what shade?'"
The group chose baby blue tank tops and took them in to have a logo imprinted on the front – a shoe with "13.1" embroidered inside it.
All that was left was to settle on a team name. Because the logo looked like the sole of a shoe, the group decided on "Sole Sisters."
It was just over three months after they'd agreed upon completing the challenge that the group successfully ran the OC Half Marathon.
Unfortunately, the joy of finishing their first half marathon was short-lived.
A New Normal
Even with an extensive family history of breast cancer – both her mother and father were diagnosed, along with six of her father's siblings – Lara, a mammography tech for the last 12 years, truly believed she would be the one exception.
"You kind of hope you're going to dodge the bullet somehow," she said.
Upon discovering a lump on her breast in late July, Lara – a mother of two – visited her doctor the following day to undergo an ultrasound, an MRI and a biopsy.

In a government lab where scientists slice open dead animals to study the exotic diseases that killed them, Carol Meteyer peered through a microscope at hundreds of little bats and started to notice something very weird.
The bats had managed to survive the white-nose fungus that had killed millions of other bats hibernating in caves, mostly in the Northeast. But they had succumbed to something else that had left their tiny corpses in tatters, their wings scorched and pocked with holes.
Meteyer finally realized what had happened: In the struggle to fight off the fungus that causes white-nose syndrome, the bats were killed by their own hyperaggressive immune systems.

Parkinson's disease appears to spread through the brain by means of a simple, yet insidious mechanism, according to research to be published Friday by University of Pennsylvania scientists.
When molecules of a certain protein become corrupted in the brain, they can pass on their distorted shape to healthy proteins through nothing more than physical contact.
Like something out of a bad science-fiction movie, more and more healthy proteins latch onto the ones that have gone bad, adopting their "misfolded" configuration until deadly clumps build up in brain cell after brain cell, the Penn team found in its study of lab mice.

Amelia Holliday — Staff Reporter
November 6, 2013
HAZARD—On the same day Gov. Steve Beshear touted the Commonwealth's rank as ninth best economic climate in the country as being "proof that Kentucky's economy is heading in the right direction," according to The Lane Report, the Eastern Kentucky coalfields felt the pain of yet another round of job cuts in the region.
The James River Coal Company officially announced in a press release on Thursday that "due to continued weakness in the coal market" the company idled two underground and two surface mines, along with a preparation plant, at the Buckeye complex in Jeff, furloughing approximately 200 employees and contractors. The company said it hopes to reopen the mines in early 2014 depending on market conditions.
James River Coal idled production at three other complexes in September, according to a report in The Floyd County Times, leading to the furlough of approximately 525 full-time employees in Eastern Kentucky. According to the company's press release, notices for layoffs had begun to be sent out as of Oct. 16 "to a majority of those employees after determining that the date of re-opening these operations was unknown."
During a public conference call on Thursday morning concerning the company's third quarter earnings, Chairman, President and CEO Peter Socha commented on the state of all of the company's operations.
"Could not be happier with mine operations right now," he said. "Obviously in this type of a market it's hard to stay focused, but these guys have been able to."
Socha went on to say that while the situation may seem bad it is not as bad as the company had anticipated.
"Things are better. Things were terrible. I think they're better now. It doesn't mean they're good, they're just better," Socha said.
Senior Vice President C. K. Lane also spoke during the conference call, explaining that the company's net loss of $25.5 million for the third quarter of 2013, as well as the cost and production at the mining complexes, was better than expected. He added that the company is looking forward now to what is to come in the next quarter.
"Our biggest focus is on holding costs on the idled operations," he said.
Perry County Clerk Haven King said he had received multiple phone calls from miners in the area who had been furloughed Wednesday morning from the Buckeye complex. He added that job cuts such as these have a ripple effect and will be felt in other areas besides just coal production.
"They got drivers, they got mechanics on them, they got places where they buy their fuel, tires grease, their antifreeze. They're got to buy parts, and the list goes on and on," he said." It's tough, and I think we're going to see more."
Rep. Fitz Steele also said he had heard about the furloughs as early as Wednesday morning.
"Family members did get laid off, that I was notified about this morning. As far as how many, I don't know. Being a coal miner myself, we're family, they're family, and this is a terrible time of the year—it's a terrible time anytime—to be laid off," he said. "My heart goes out to all the families and to the coal company also."

Bortner and Brophy Lead the Way as Men's Volleyball Dethrones King 3-1
January 19, 2013
BRISTOL, T.N. - Micah Bortner led all attackers with 18 kills on the day as Pfeiffer University rallied past host King College 3-1 (22-25, 25-21, 25-22, 25-18) in Conference Carolinas men's volleyball action on Saturday afternoon. The Falcons improve to 2-1 overall and in league play while the Tornado fall to 1-4, 0-3.
Bortner would provide three of the Falcons' final four kills in set two to equalize the match at 1-1 before putting the visitors up for good in set two late at 19-18. Caleb Brophy would start set four with a kill and end it with an ace to provide the Falcons with their 3-1 win.
Bortner would hit .263 with his 18 kills also picking up five digs and an ace to lead the Falcons. Brophy would follow with 15 kills, eight digs and three aces. David Specian contributed with 47 assists in the win while libero Mark Hess once again led the way defensively with nine digs.
For King, Michael Koebel recorded a dozen kills as the only Tornado in double-figures. Ashton Hippenstiel threw up 34 assists while Ned Parker popped up a team-high seven digs.
Pfeiffer will now host the Lance Johnson Memorial Tournament next Friday and Saturday inside the Merner Gym. Coker, Rust and Emmanuel make up the field with exhibition matches against Alderson-Broaddus mixed in.

"Jean wanted a natural look tonight, so I created a very simple style," she explained. After applying Leonor Greyl Mousse au Lotus Volumatrice from roots to ends, Louise quickly blew dry Jean's hair.

Mendel dress as soon as I saw it; I was so inspired by the silhouette and color. We wanted Kristen's hair to be full with voluminous waves and have an edgy and sexy texture," he explained. "I started by applying a large dollop of Dove Style+Care Nourishing Curls Whipped Cream Mousse and blow dried the hair with a round brush. I then took 3-inch sections of hair and sprayed each section with Dove Style+Care Thermal Replenishment Spray and then wrapped the hair around a 1 1/2 inch FHI Heat curling iron. When all of her hair had been curled, I took a small amount of Dove Style+Care Frizz-Free Shine Cream-Serum in my hands and rubbed them together and then I raked the product through the hair to break up the curls and give the hair shine and definition. I'm beyond obsessed with this product. It gives you the nourishment of a cream and the shine of a serum in one bottle! I finished her look by spraying Dove Style+Care Strength & Shine Extra Hold Hairspray all over while scrunching the hair with my fingers; this will ensure that the hair is in place all night and give the hair great sexy waves."
Cameron Diaz paired her glam gown with a fuss-free Œdo. "It's modern, sexy and carefree femininity," explained her stylist Lona Vigi. To get the look, she blew out Cam's short hair with the Sultra Sophisticate Power Dryer to infuse volume and shine. Next, she used the Sultra Seductress Curl, Wave & Straight Iron to straighten her hair. Then she used the Seductress to flip up random pieces of hair to infuse texture and create a little bend in others to create even more movement. Finally, she used the Sultra Bombshell One-inch Rod Curling Iron to create loose curl in Cam's bangs and to add more texture.

Hunger Games star Elizabeth Banks stunned at the Vanity Fair Party with her sleek look. Celebrity hair stylist Daniel Howell created her stunning look with the help of Joico products. To prep for this look, Howell did an intense conditioning treatment with Joico K-PAK Revitaluxe a couple days prior to the event so the hair would be in great condition to work with. "On Damp hair, I evenly sprayed Joico Smooth Cure Thermal Styling Protectant on the hair to prevent damage from the heat of the dryer," he explained. "I began sectioning the hair in one inch sections, then starting at the nape I blow dryed each section using a medium round brush, working my way from the nape to the front hairline, making sure that each section was completely dry I directed the roots of the hair downward on the sides and back of the head but on the top of the head I directed the hair up so it would have the lift I needed. When the hair was completely dry I put a bit of Joico K-PAK Color Therapy Restorative Styling Oil on the ends of the hair, which helps to smooth out and dry or split ends and also gives a bit of texture. Then I sectioned the hair on the top of the head and clipped it out of the way. While I brushed the hair on the sides of the head back away from the face, I held the hair at the back of the head near the nape then I twisted the hair gradually moving upwards. Securing it with hair pins as I was twisting. Next, I tucked rest of the hair into the twist making sure the crown was secured with pins. I then ran my fingers through the top section of hair, directing it towards the back. Tucking the ends of the hair and securing with hairpins, I used only my fingers to sweep the hair back so maintain the height and texture. To keep the look, I sprayed Joico's JoiMist Firm Finish Spray. To finish the look, I misted the hair with Joico Design Collection Humidity Blocker, which prevents moisture in the air from making the hair frizzy.

Dear members of the North Carolina Senate:
I am a retired teacher, so I no longer have a personal stake in the fallout from your ill-conceived education decisions. However, I do have four adult children, and each has a spouse. Of those eight North Carolina citizens and taxpayers, four are in education: three classroom teachers and one administrator.
When I reviewed the Senate's proposed budget, my first thought was: "These people are losing their minds."
Then I just got angry.
The people of this state entrusted both houses of the General Assembly and the Governor's office to the Republican Party. If the Senate's mindless assault on teachers continues, then the GOP can be assured it will have control of the General Assembly for only two years.
First, let's deal with some myths.
Myth 1: Anybody can do what a teacher does.
No, the vast majority of you can't. Teaching in the real world is not Ben Stein in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." No matter how much a teacher knows, a teacher must first control student behavior and then engage students … before that teacher can present a single concept.
I challenge any legislator or parent to try to step into a classroom and do a teacher's job for one to two weeks. Notice, I did not say for a day or two. Kids respond to novelty, so they might give you a couple of days' grace.
Doing the teacher's job is more than standing in the classroom, controlling students, engaging students, and presenting information. A teacher must prepare lesson plans – and preparing those plans demands an understanding of curriculum, objectives, and methodology. If you want to do the job, be sure to do the whole job. Oh, don't forget about grading – tests, quizzes, essays and homework. And remember the meetings.
Myth 2: The North Carolina teachers' union stifles educational progress.
North Carolina does NOT have a teachers' union.
I was a member of the North Carolina Association of Educators for nearly all my public school teaching career. We never had union meetings, and we never called for a strike. For those of you who missed this tidbit, North Carolina is a right to work state. Besides, public employees are not allowed to strike. So when you mention the North Carolina's teachers' union, I deduct IQ points.
The Senate's proposed budget included these particulars:
1) No raise for teachers – and other state employees. (Over the past six years, teachers and state employees have received a 1.2 percent increase in pay – an average of 0.2 percent per year.)
2) A ludicrous offer for teachers to surrender their tenure for $500.
3) Eliminating increased pay for teachers who earn certifications at the master's, sixth year, or doctoral level. (The net effect is to provide a disincentive to teachers to advance their education.)
4) Eliminating pay for teachers who hold National Board certification.
At one time, a teacher could increase his or her meager salary by earning NTBS certification and a master's degree. The Senate would abolish this incentive for self-improvement. Evidently, the Senate gurus want teachers to stagnate.
In the past few years, the General Assembly has moved average teacher salaries in this state from 21st in the nation to 48th in the nation. The Senate rallying cry seems: "We aim for the bottom."
People often justify their assaults on teachers by talking about "some teachers." Are they too naïve to realize they are arguing by exception – not by the rule?
Are some teachers better than others? Sure. But aren't some lawyers, dentists, doctors, store managers, mechanics, plumbers … better than others?
Teachers understand economic realities. They have worked for six years doing more with less. They give the best they have on any given day to your kids.
Research consistently shows the single most important factor in educating children is the classroom teacher.
Please take time to read Maggie Haberny's guest column in last Wednesday's paper. She does not even complain of the issues I have raised. Yet, she is leaving North Carolina to teach in Denver.
Unless things change drastically, she will be only among the first who decide to step out of a North Carolina classroom and into a classroom in another state – or into a new profession.

About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Ark Naturals Neem Protect Spray:
I live in Florida and this year fleas seemed to be more resilient to the topical flea applications. My cat also started to have a secondary skin infection due to the scratching. I decided to try this product because it seemed if I could keep her from the scratching the area would heal faster. Within one day the scratching stopped and her infection is 100% better! The area is drying out and she seems a lot happier. I only put it on her top from the neck down to the tip of her tail. I also used a cat brush with the product on the brush itself, so not to scare her. Amazing!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me New Pet Owner
My dog has had three ticks this summer prior to using this spray on product. We went camping in a state park and I treated my dog one day before the trip. I also reapplied the spray after she swam in the lake. No ticks were found and it kept the Mosquitos and biting flies off her also. We bathed my dog after returning from our trip and reapplied the spray, no ticks. I am very happy to find a safe alternative to squeeze ons that actually works.

So Far, So Good...in the Midwest!

We have 2 dogs, a 7 yr. old Black Lab and an 8 yr. old Pharoah Hound Mix. We started using Frontline Plus on them when they were puppies, at the recommendation of our vet. Over the years, our Pharoah Hound has started having skin irritations that have gotten progressively worse. At first, we thought it was from seasonal allergies. Now, we suspect it may be from the long term use of FL Plus. After doing some research, we were horrified that we ever put any topical chemical on our dogs! Needless to say, we won't ever do it again and have since completely switched over to Only Natural Pet Store products. This is our first experience using the products, but so far we are very happy with our purchases! The Ark Naturals Neem Protect Spray smells and works great! Even if the smell was a problem, which it isn't, it doesn't linger long at all. When it is sprayed, it is gentle and encompasses a large area of the animal without startling the animal in any way. I say this because our Pharoah Hound Mix has anxiety issues to the point of being afraid of his own shadow...lol! However, he has no prob when we spray him with the spray. We also administer the Only Natural Brewer's Yeast and Garlic Supplement to both dogs, and they both wear the Natural Research People Herbal Flea Collars. The dogs seem to like the yeast garlic supplement and don't mind the collars at all. The collars have a nice smell, too. Last, but not least, we have used both the Ark Naturals Neem Protect Shampoo and the Doc Ackerman's Botanical Citronella Shampoo. Personally, we like the Doc Ackerman's Shampoo better than the Ark Naturals because it lathers very well, so you don't have to use as much, and it smells really nice. We'd recommend the Ark Naturals Neem Shampoo to pet owners of small animals. We wouldn't recommend it to those who have medium or large animals. To sum it up, we love all of these products! We will continue to use them ourselves and would recommend them to anyone! :)
Works Great!

After reading an article online about the new warnings the EPA has issued on "spot on" flea treatments I was quite shocked. We recently got a new dog from a rescue and have only had him 6 months. Suddenly, I remembered two separate issues over the past two months where our little man was vomiting and had unbelievable diarrhea. After putting two and two together I realized that both times were after I had given him the flea treatment. Thank the lord that I found this site!! I read many, many comments/reviews and decided to order this product and the all natural powder. I am sooooo very pleased with these products, and I feel that my furry babies are now healthier and safer. When I received this in the mail, I had found a few fleas on all of my animals (I also have two cats) as I had stopped using the poison. After about a week of treatment I was no longer finding any fleas on any of the animals. I used the powder on my cats, and the spray on my dog. I have used to powder on my dog too, but he has extremely dry skin and the powder tends to dry him out even worse. This does have a strong citronella scent, but it wears off after a few hours. I love these products and will never be without either one!!!! My daughter even uses the spray on herself when she is outside playing! Thank you Only natural pet for a great product!!!
This Stuff WORKS!!
By Goldie the Mom of two mutts
from Atlanta, GA
We originally bought this to spray on our pets, because I didn't want to put the "poison" on the back of their necks anymore that "humans should not have contact with skin". We bought the tags for their collars and give them the Garlic & Brewer's yeast tabs everyday (they love them & think they're treats, btw), and between the two, it's supposedly one of the worst springs in the south for insects, mosquitos, fleas...etc (and we live next to VERY thick woods. It's May & the temps have been over 90 & at least over 80 since beginning of April, and NO SIGNS of fleas.So....we only use the NEEM on ourselves while gardening. One of our dogs loves it so much, she rolls all over the ground where we spray it on ourselves!! :)Love knowing we aren't putting those harmful chemicals on ourselves nor our "kids"....dogs, anymore. Just wish I'd done this sooner. Was a REAL LEAP of faith & my hubby didn't like even taking the chance in Georgia where we live (Atlanta), especially with such a warm winter.SOOOO glad I/we did. I am happy to say I honestly believe between this and our natural organic yard & garden treatments, we are living MUCH healthier lives. AND....our yard has never been more beautiful! :)

You don't need to use much of this product to get the desired results. My cats are now pest free and I am not using pesticides. I'm happy and they are happy too.
Love this stuff! 2nd order in 1 month
By dd2u
from Cleveland, OH
I bought 3 bottles of this spray last month when my 20 year old indoor cat surprised me with fleas. At first I wanted to treat him naturally, but due to dermatitis on his hind area, was forced to go to the vet for meds to treat him properly for his age.Here in Ohio, I hear that we are having a severe flea season---and the bugs near my home are worse as well. After reading other reviews about how well this product worked on PEOPLE as a natural repellent, I definitely wanted to give it a try as we spend a lot of time outside on our porch & in the yard. We had already gone thru several cans of the major brand of insect repellent, and my biggest problem with it is the stickiness & chemical residues---too strong for daily use. We LOVE this spray! It works extremely well! Just last night (first weekend in Oct!) we had a crazy attack of mosquitos---after spraying ourselves & the outdoor area, we were no longer being bombarded. The best part is that you don't feel like you need to shower off any sticky residue before bed. (My boyfriend does feel this spray has a strong smell to him, but since the smell subsides quickly enough, he's a fan now too) I have not used this ON my cat directly, but do spray his areas of rest & doorways, furniture, etc. Since we grill outside often, we also spray our legs & clothing, in case we ourselves brought in the fleas that my cat had gotten. Incidentally, last month we had seasonal midges come thru that cling to screens---spraying the screens alone kept them away. My mother grabbed one bottle from me for her gardening time protection--and I'm back to order more!

January 2012 Cyber Attacks Timeline (Part 1)
Click here for part 2.
New year, new Cyber Attacks Timeline. Let us start our Information Security Travel in 2012 with the chart of the attacks occurred in the first fifteen days of January. This month has been characterized so far by the leak of Symantec Source Code and the strange story of alleged Cyber Espionage revolving around it. But this was not the only remarkable event: chronicles tell the endless Cyber-war between Israel and a Saudi Hacker (and more in general the Arab World), but also a revamped activity of the Anonymous against SOPA (with peak in Finland). The end of the month has also reserved several remarkable events (such as the breaches to T-Mobile and Zappos, the latter affecting potentially 24,000,000 of users). In general this has been a very active period. For 2012 this is only the beginning, and if a good beginning makes a good ending, there is little to be quiet…
Browse the chart and follows @paulsparrows to be updated on a biweekly basis. As usual after the jump you will find all the references. Feel free to report wrong/missing links or attacks.
