Growing up Green
New documentary explores Great Lakes place-based education | Mon. Apr. 14 - 11:30pm WKAR HD |
This new documentary explores how schools across Michigan are engaging students with their communities and stewardship of our Great Lakes and natural resources.
Growing Up Green profiles a unique statewide, hands-on environmental education program in Michigan, the Great Lakes Stewardship Initiative. For the very first time, both rural and urban schools across the state are working to increase academic performance by involving students in local efforts to improve the environments they inhabit.
From Houghton in the U.P. to Alpena, Grand Rapids, Lansing, and Detroit, international filmmaker Bob Gliner spent several weeks filming with schools, community partners and student-led Great Lakes stewardship projects to highlight the wide reaching and in-depth place-based education efforts currently underway among schools and communities across Michigan.

Britain's Serious Fraud Office (SFO), on Friday, said it has launched a probe into the Barclays Bank which is at the centre of an interest rate fixing scandal.
The move comes after Barclays chairman Marcus Agius and chief executive Bob Diamond had resigned following regulators in the U.K. and the U.S. slapping a 290 million pound penalty on the bank for trying to rig Libor and Euribor, the key interest rates at which banks lend to each other.
The Libor and Euribor are the basis for trillions of pounds of financial transactions.
SFO, which is described as an independent government department that investigates and prosecutes serious or complex fraud, and corruption, said in a one-line statement that its director, David Green, had "decided formally to accept the Libor matter for investigation."

Bedpost Wears Lipstick
By Julie Gillis,
4:16PM, Wed. Feb. 16, 2011
I love love love and celebrate this pink-tinged Valentine's holiday for as many days as possible. I dig it, this day devoted to celebrating erotic and romantic tangling. I love the highlighting of that most radical act, pleasure. And what brings more pleasure than a dark bar filled with women and erotic prose and poetry?
I figure we have until at least February 20 to be struck with Cupid's Arrow, so if you are looking for love, sexy stories focused on women and the women who love women, come on down to Lipstick 24 this Thursday, February 17 for a special edition of Bedpost Confessions.
I'll see you there!

Decorating a cake? How to make a Buttercream Rose.
Do you want to make your cake look like it was decorated by a professional? Learn how to create a buttercream rose.
You will need a piping bag, a rose tip and a pastry nail. I'm not going to try and explain it, I'll only get confused so check out the video…
A few more tips for decorating a cake.
- The cake must cool completely before icing it.
- Use a cake leveller or a serrated knife to cut off the mounded top of a baked cake.
- Use a lot of icing when icing the top of the cake, don't let your spatula touch the cake or you might get crumbs in the frosting.
- Finally and this is the hard part, once you have finished icing the cake let is rest for 15 minutes and then smooth the icing out using wax paper.

Climbed Everest?
Sailed across the ocean?
What is the most difficult task you've ever accomplished?
Climbed Everest?
Sailed across the ocean?
What is the most difficult task you've ever accomplished?
Making 147 in high school and 160 in college.
Atrophy: what you get when you win atournament.
My difficult task would be surfing a triple overhead wave (18 feet) at Sunset beach in Hawai'i. I'm more of a small wave surfer (don't really like being held under water for a minute by a wave..) but my brother talked me into it. (and would have been there to perform emergency procedures.. lol)
pulling off the Super 32.
Super 32 Challenge - October 26-27, 2013
"Good things happen when you wrestle for a full seven minutes." -- Jayson Ness, post-finals press conference
Physical: finishing my first triathalon. It wasn't all that long 1/2 mile swim, 32 mile bike (with a lot of elevation change) and then an 8 mile run. Either that or making 178 for an tough freestyle tournament. I got third and there were a total of 10 High School state titles (freestyle, greco and collegiate) in our 8 man bracket.
However the single toughest thing that I've ever done is write the eulogy for my son's funeral last year. I really wanted to deliver it as well but I didn't think that I was strong enough. He was born 11/25/07 and died 11 hours later 11/26/07.
Perhaps the toughest thing I have ever accomplished both mentally and physically was 100 mile march in 4 days full battle rattle. It was a memorial of the Bataan death march.

Food Ethics - Research
Shifting the Focus from Pharma to Food:
Industry Sponsorship and Partnership in Health-Related Food Research,
Nutrition Policy, Education, and Practice
A Collaborative Research Project with the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University through its Lab on Institutional Corruption
This project explores the practical impact and ethical implications of industry-sponsorship on health related food research and on nutrition education and practice. Issues of concern include:
- the focus on research exploring the health benefits of foods and food components, neglecting the potential adverse effects of consuming those foods or components for their purported health benefits (this might be characterized as a corruption of health-related food and nutrition research);
- the regulatory framework governing the use of claims about purported health benefits in labeling and advertising to promote foods, including the implications of the limited regulation of structure/function claims on food labeling in the United States.
The project will explore a variety of potential policy solutions currently under discussion (as well as proposing new ones) including:
- the development of new funding streams for nutrition research,
- building institutional structures to generate and reinforce reputations based on public interest research in food and nutrition, and
- the development of improved regulatory oversight, drawing on lessons from comparative regulation in Europe and elsewhere.
The project is also collecting and developing tools to assist the leaders of academic institutions who wish to address industry-related conflicts of interest in a principled manner.
Jonathan Marks, Director of the Bioethics Program, leads this research collaboration, which he launched with Donald B. Thompson, emeritus professor of food science at Penn State. They have benefited from the assistance of former postdoctoral fellow Christopher Mayes, and current fellow, Bryan Cwik.
Workshops and Research Symposia
Industry Sponsorship and Health-Related Food Research:
Institutional Integrity, Ethical Challenges, and Policy Implications
Symposium jointly sponsored by the Rock Ethics Institute at Penn State
and the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University
March 29–30, 2012
Scope and Aims of the Symposium
(1) This symposium is part of a collaborative research project jointly funded by the Rock Ethics Institute at Penn State, through its Bioethics Initiative, and by the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard through its Lab on Institutional Corruption.
(2) This symposium builds on an earlier workshop entitled "Industry-Sponsored Research on Food and Health: Ethical Challenges and Policy Implications" held at Penn State in March 2008, and on research conducted during 2010–12 as part of this research collaboration.
(3) The symposium will focus on health-related food and nutrition research related to functional foods, that is, foods marketed for purported health benefits above and beyond basic nutrition.
(4) The symposium will:
(a) explore the challenges to the integrity of health-related food research on functional foods sponsored by industry, including the distortion of research agendas, the risk of bias, impacts on the interpretation of nutrition studies, and related concerns;
(b) explore the ethical implications of this research and of industry funding for the academy (both academic institutions and the researchers they employ), editors and peer reviewers of nutrition journals (and other scientific publications), and professional associations;
(c) explore the potential policy implications of these issues, and lay the foundations for the analysis of some principled policy responses including:
- the regulation of health claims (broadly construed) on food labeling and in food advertising;
- the provision of public funding streams to remedy distortions in health-related food research on functional foods; and
- the creation of templates and decision tools to help academic administrators address individual and institutional conflicts of interest.
(d) identify next steps in the research collaboration including:
- the conduct or solicitation of further research;
- the development of pilot projects to address one or more issues of concern;
- the engagement of policymakers;
- the value, function and content of future workshops.

The Egyptian Army deployed troops and armoured vehicles in the coastal city of Suez on Saturday after deadly clashes between police and anti-government protesters, state media reported.
The deployment came after police lost control of the situation in the city, it quoted chief of Suez security Major General Adel Refat as saying.
"The Army deployment came after security forces were attacked by firearms during the clashes," he said.
Nine people, including a policeman were killed in the city that lies about 100 kilometres east of Cairo, medical sources said.
The clashes were the fiercest in a wave of violence that erupted across Egypt on Friday, marking the second anniversary of a revolt that toppled former president Hosny Mubarak.
The Health Ministry said the violence claimed six lives in Suez and one more in the coastal city of Ismailia.
At least 476 people were injured across the country, it said.
Sporadic clashes occurred outside the state TV building near Cairo's Tahrir Square, where thousands of President Morsy's opponents gathered to decry his policies and the Muslim Brotherhood.
Angry protesters torched the Brotherhood's offices and attacked governmental buildings in several areas of the nation.
Mr. Morsy appealed for calm and vowed that authorities would bring lawbreakers to justice.
"I call on all citizens to adhere to the noble principles of the Egyptian revolution in expressing opinion freely and peacefully," he said on his official Facebook page.
He offered condolences to families of the victims of what he termed "abominable violence." Political opponent Mohammed ElBaradei criticised Mr. Morsy over the handling of the crisis.
"What we have seen so far from the President and his government, in dealing with the tragedy in which we are living, is an example of sheer irresponsibility," Mr. ElBaradei said.

The Muscular Dystrophy Association has awarded 38 new grants totaling more than $12 million to fund research projects focused on its continuing mission to uncover the causes of, and develop therapies for, the more than 40 neuromuscular diseases in its program.
MDA's Board of Directors reviewed and approved the new grants based on recommendations from the Association's Scientific and Medical Advisory Committees, and the grants took effect Feb. 1.
MDA awarded a research grant totaling $381,582 over a period of three years to Christian Lorson, a professor in the departments of veterinary pathobiology, and molecular microbiology & immunology, at the University of Missouri in Columbia. The funds will help support Lorson's research into targeting skeletal muscle as a therapeutic strategy in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).
Kentaro Sahashi, a postdoctoral research scientist at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., was awarded an MDA development grant (DG) totaling $180,000 over a period of three years to study the roles of the SMN protein in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).
Tomoyuki Awano, a postdoctoral research scientist in the department of pathology and cell biology at Columbia University Medical Center in New York, was awarded an MDA development grant (DG) totaling $180,000 over a period of three years to search for genes that modify the onset and disease course of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).
A 24-person, phase 1 trial to test the safety and tolerability of the experimental drug ISIS-SMNRx in children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is now open at Columbia University Medical Center in New York, with additional sites expected to open in Boston, Philadelphia, Dallas and Salt Lake City.
Swiss biotechnology company Roche, and PTC Therapeutics in South Plainfield, N.J., on Nov. 29, 2011, announced a collaboration through which the two companies will work together to advance drug development for spinal muscular atrophy(SMA).
Treatment of a mouse model of severe spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) with an antisense oligonucleotide results in greater and longer-lasting benefit when given systemically than when given only to the central nervous system, new research shows.
In addition to muscle damage caused by the loss of motor neurons in the spinal cord, skeletal muscle degeneration inspinal muscular atrophy (SMA) also stems from low levels of the protein SMN in muscle fibers. Now a team of scientists from Germany and the United Kingdom reports that muscle damage caused by low SMN can be reversed with drugs.
Stem cells have been much in the news lately, including for neuromuscular diseases.

The Intelligence Bureau (IB) has overreached itself in submitting a report to the Prime Minister's Office accusing NGOs of receiving foreign funds, and in singling out Greenpeace India, for campaigning against coal-based and nuclear power projects. The timing of this leak of a confidential report is suspect. Even Dr Manmohan Singh had held that foreign funds were supporting such NGOs which slowed down India's quest to be a nuclear power, but that remained a query. The IB has now gone further by prompting the Home Ministry to scrutinise this funding, given that the present government is even more suspicious.
Indeed, the IB report makes heavy weather of Gujarat NGOs which have raised civil rights issues in the aftermath of the 2002 riots and also questioned the "Gujarat model of development".
The "foreign funding" is a convenient, if lazy and irresponsible, slur to damn many NGOs which raise sensitive issues. It is a throwback to the paranoia exhibited by Indira Gandhi who saw the "hidden hand" in several such inconvenient truths. It is a variant of domestic McCarthyism which discovers a green (as opposed to a red!) under every bed. To imagine that developed industrial nations use reputable international agencies like Greenpeace and Amnesty to keep India backward is to stretch the limits of credulity.
Greenpeace has also been a thorn in the side of rich nations which are trying to develop or fund thermal stations too. Only recently, after negotiations in Bonn towards a global climate treaty in Paris next year, Martin Kaiser, who heads International Politics in Greenpeace, said: "France, Germany, Japan, South Korea and other OECD countries must stop financing foreign coal-fired power plants through development banks and export credits and shift these investments towards renewable energies… Yet Australia, Canada, Japan and Poland want to rely on highly polluting coal-fired power plants and oil for the next few decades. This is madness."
As many as 60 governments supported a resolution in Bonn that calls for reducing dependence on fossil fuels. In 2012, Greenpeace and other NGOs successfully lobbied against Shell for attempting to drill for oil in the Arctic.
India has a regrettable record in ensuring that people are not displaced by large energy projects. The IB sees the hidden hand of the Dutch government which funds an NGO called Cordaid which has called for restraining extractive industries like oil drilling in Manipur till the rights of local communities over their land and other resources, including rivers, were respected. There are plans to erect 150 dams in the Northeast, 11 of which are under construction. The biggest is the Lower Subansiri project on the border of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh which the Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti, a farmers' organisation, and All-Assam Students Union, among 40 domestic organisations, are all protesting against.
Nuclear energy is another all-too-familiar bogey. The atomic energy establishment's functioning is shrouded in the greatest obscurity in the name of national security. However, it is common knowledge that our nuclear power stations – starting with Tarapur – have experienced cost overruns, radioactive leaks and far too frequent shut-downs. The Atomic Energy Regulatory Board, whose remit is to prevent harm to nuclear plant workers, people and the environment, is staffed with former nuclear scientists and is remarkably coy about exposing plant problems. No one, not even Parliament, knows how these are operating.
The transmission and distribution losses on conventional coal-based power can cost up to a fourth of the electricity produced. Since the 1970s, anti-nuclear activists like the writer Praful Bidwai, whose columns appear on this page, have been dubbed "anti-national" by the nuclear powers-that-be; his name has once again cropped up in the IB report. If patriots like him can be castigated in this irresponsible manner, it is easy to understand how foreign–funded agencies can be wrongly blamed for hobbling the nuclear industry, which only produces 3 per cent of all the electricity in the country. Nothing should ever interfere with the right to dissent.
If the IB has let its imagination run riot on subversive, mainly foreign-funded, NGOs, its foray into the field of economics – which Keynes called "the dismal science" – is even more far-fetched. One would like to see the back of the envelope on which the IB calculated that the activities of these agencies have cost the country 2-3 per cent of its GDP. In fact, the boot is on the other foot. The most authoritative estimate of the cost to global GDP of environmental damage has been conducted in 2006 by Lord Nicholas Stern, the former chief economist of the World Bank. He calculates that if there is no global action to curb carbon emissions (such as those released by coal-based stations) the world will lose 5 per cent of its GDP annually. If one adds all the other environmental damage, the annual toll could be a crippling 20 per cent.
It is the rampant loot of the country's natural resources by corporate interests, aided and abetted by a venal political class, that is costing it literally "the earth". While the BJP may allege that the UPA was withholding permission for power and extractive projects, among others, the harsh fact is that most were given a green signal. According to the World Bank, the deterioration of India's environment is already costing it 5.7 per cent of its GDP. Thus, it is the relentless appropriation of natural resources, accompanied by widespread displacement of people, that is the villain of the piece.
The worst ravaged region of the country is the central belt which the late activist Baba Amte described as "the cummerbund of India" because it possesses the most mineral and timber resources. It is here that the oppressed are waging an armed combat against the State, which appears powerless to quell their rebellion. One has only to cite Manmohan Singh's characterisation of this being the biggest threat to the country's security. It should thus be crystal-clear that most reputable NGOs and activists are part of the solution, not the problem.

Over a million homeless children in the U.S. (and countless who have not been included in homeless counts) continue to experience "hard-knock" lives. They don't need a billionaire, like Oliver Warbucks to save them. They need us to collectively unmask hidden issues and create tangible solutions that prevent and end their homelessness. It is not "their" problem to fix. It is all of ours.

"It's a Hard-Knock Life for Us": Homeless Children's Invisibility in U.S. Schools and Beyond
Too Close To Home: Let's Not Kid Around About Child Poverty
A third of our nation's children reside in homes defined as poor, where the household income is below 60% of the national median income for 2008, or $31,000. In other countries, this annual income is a fortune, but in this country, a family that survives on $31,000 per year places their children on a pathway to adult poverty, if not homelessness.
Is a Country Considered Rich if 20 Percent of its Children are Poor?
We have billionaires and millionaires in our country. Who cares that one-fifth of our children are floundering in poverty? Who needs to know that most cities in America have people living on their streets?
No Child Left On Our Streets
How does our country allow more than one million school children to be homeless? And how many more children are homeless, and do not attend school at all?
Saving a Lost Generation
You, our next generation of American adults, should have the right to a safe home, where you are surrounded by people who love you. But instead, 1.7 million of you are escaping your family homes in search of a place where you are free to live the you are supposed to live. Sure, most of you eventually return home, perhaps because your search leads you to a dead end. But thousands of you leave your family homes permanently. Thousands of you, who are still transitioning into adulthood, are experiencing an animal-like life on the streets. Even at age 15, or younger.
How Unaffordable Is Child Care for Low-Income Parents?
A bunch of things got me wondering about child care costs. How unaffordable are they for low-income parents who don't have the benefit of subsidies? The annual survey reports by the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies are the best source of data on affordability I've found. So I pulled figures from the latest report — most of them for 2009. Then did some calculations of my own — or more precisely, told Excel to do them. Here's a summary of key results, plus some Google gleanings about impacts.
How One Act of Charity Changed My Life
If my own story is any indication, these new acts of charity can change people's lives forever. I have experienced it first hand. I asked the !deation community to hit "fast forward" and picture the future. Could they see where that orphaned child, hungry and barefoot, would be in 30 years?
I can. Because I am that child.
Homeless DC Parents Fear Loss of Children … And They're Right
I met a father at the Virginia Williams Family Resources Center, the District of Columbia's central intake for homeless families. He was there with his wife and their baby and toddler because they were running out of money to pay for the motel room they'd been staying in. He said he was afraid the children would be taken away from them. I asked him if anyone had told him that. Not exactly, but he was worried. I think of him now because the Family Resources Center has started reporting all homeless families with no place to stay to the Child and Family Services Agency, the District's child welfare program.
Bad Joke: Nickelodeon Show Makes fun of Homelessness

"How do I make the vaginal area smell good? I want it to have a flowery or good scent. I have good hygiene but it still smells weird. What should I do?"
peer AnswerLeah Sipher-Mann
mom AnswerMaggie Vink
health expert AnswerElisabeth Morray
If you wash your vagina regularly, it will probably have a pretty neutral scent naturally. What you think smells "weird" others probably don't even notice at all! I don't like to use special douches or perfumes in that area just because I'm not sure how the chemicals will react with my natural scent (sometimes, it makes it worse!). Sometimes, after I get dressed, I'll spray a light spritz of my regular perfume on my pants just so that area smells just as good as the rest of me! But other than that, washing regularly with mild soap and water should do the trick.
There are deodorant products you can use -- wipes, foams or sprays. They're meant to use externally and can leave your vulva with a flowery scent. Personally, I don't choose to use them. I prefer just to wash my external area with mild soap and water. If you do decide to use a deodorant product, make sure you use one that's specially made for feminine use.
Let me start by saying that lots of women worry about how their vagina smells, and feel that they need to do something to give it a nice, "flowery" scent. In reality, vaginas are not designed to smell like flowers… they are designed to smell like vaginas, and every woman may have her own unique odor. It is normal for your vagina to have this slight odor, and this smell may change throughout your cycle. Any significant change in smell may mean that you have an infection, and indicates that you should see your healthcare provider.
On a day-to-day basis, the best way to keep your vagina healthy is to practice good hygiene. You should wash your vulva with warm water and unscented, gentle soap when you shower or bathe. Wearing clothing that allows your skin to "breathe" can also be very helpful. Finally, don't douche unless this is something that your healthcare provider recommends that you do.
If you want to use a scented liner in order to create a more "flowery" scent, that is perfectly fine. You can also try using talcum powder on the top part of your legs in order to help control sweating and odor on warm days or when you exercise.

Many students had just gotten out of class for the day, and others were preparing for evening lectures around 4:15 p.m. when gunfire rang out in Morgan's student center, rattling the Northeast Baltimore campus.

University spokesman Clint Coleman said classes were going on as normal Thursday morning. He added that police are "aggressively in pursuit" of the shooter, but no arrest has been made.
At 4 p.m, students plan to hold a rally in solidarity with the victim and to show that they do not accept gun violence, Coleman said.
The victim, whom police did not identify, was in critical but stable condition late Wednesday. He was not a student, according to Coleman, and officials do not believe the shooter was either.
Nonetheless, many students worried about how the incident would affect Morgan State's reputation. Others worried that the campus is too easily accessible to outside troublemakers.
"I feel like it's a bad look for our school's reputation," said Darius Brock, a freshman civil engineering major from Baltimore who was in his nearby dorm when he received an alert that the campus was on lockdown. "People drive past and all you see are cop lights and reporters, and you know something bad happened."
The shooting comes on the heels of several other school-linked incidents in the area. In one, an Essex middle-schooler allegedly threatened his teacher and other students with a gun. Another saw a Perry Hall High School student shot, allegedly by a fellow student, on the first day of school.
Also Wednesday, a man who had been shot by Baltimore County police fled and was found on the grounds of Catonsville High School.
At Morgan, students said they believed such an incident could happen anywhere, but questioned efforts at the university to improve safety.
"It's nothing new. It's not a cultural shock," said Brandon Parker, a sophomore business major from Baltimore. "They make it seem like they're working towards making our campus better, but nothing ever happens. … Less talk and more action is kind of what I'm speaking for."
Coleman emphasized that the shooting was not a random act, and he said the university took the precaution of "combing every building on campus."
"We believe this young man knew his assailant," Coleman said. "A verbal exchange was heard just before the shooting. We believe this young man was targeted."
Minutes after the shooting, the campus sent out the first in a series of alerts about the violence. An alert posted to the university's website at 5:43 p.m. notified students that classes were canceled.
The lockdown was called off at about 6 p.m., according to campus police, and classes were set to resume Thursday morning.
Morgan's emergency alert system was in the news earlier this year, when some at the university said they were unsure whether the university had properly warned them about an incident involving Alexander Kinyua. Two weeks after an on-campus assault arrest, Kinyua was accused of killing a family friend and eating parts of his body at a Harford County home.
The university did not send out an alert after Kinyua's assault arrest, a decision Police Chief Adrian Wiggins later said was based on the fact that the suspect had been "apprehended in a rather rapid fashion."
