Disaster Relief Chaplains are members of Southern Baptist Disaster Relief teams. They are mobilized with their SBC State Convention Disaster Relief team by the State Disaster Relief Coordinator.
As persons called by God, Disaster Relief chaplains are trained to serve in an environment of disaster relief service and response. There are not many areas of mission service that require greater spiritual sensitivity and more rapid response to human need than a disaster. Jesus himself told us that natural and man-made disasters will happen until He comes again. Therefore, we must be ready to be the "Lord's hand and feet" to hurting humanity, bringing gospel hope to them during crisis.
Disaster Relief Chaplains extend the witness and care of the church into a very specialized time of ministry in the lives of people disrupted unexpectedly by a disaster. For this reason, the training requirements for endorsement as a Disaster Relief chaplain are set high!
The training is coordinated and scheduled by each Southern Baptist state convention through the office of the Disaster Relief coordinator or state chaplaincy representative.
On May 4, 2004, the Chaplains Commission, SBC, approved the endorsing of Disaster Relief chaplains to their state conventions. Once a person has completed the above requirements, they should contact the NAMB Chaplaincy Evangelism Team.
For specific application of qualifications to your situation contact the Volunteer Chaplaincy Associate at (770) 410-6361.

Asking For Feedback From Clients: How and Why It's Vital
Filed Under Blog Comments, Customer Think, Strategy/Analysis, Successful Blog | Leave a Comment
By Jennifer Escalona Dunn
Every business owner likes to think that his or her business is great and is operating at 100% efficiency. If your clients haven't complained and your bank account is fine it's easy to pretend that nothing is wrong. However, you could be setting yourself up for huge problems down the line if you maintain this illusion.
Undoubtedly, one or more of your clients has something to say about the services you're providing. Whether or not they've told you personally is irrelevant; sometimes people don't like to upset the apple cart and won't tell you what you Read More…
Solve Communication Breakdowns with Your Blog

Communication Breakdown, It's always the same, Havin' a nervous breakdown, Drive me insane!
– Led Zeppelin, "Communication Breakdown"
Is it just me, or is all of this technology that's "connecting us" actually discouraging real communication.
By definition, communication is an "exchange of information," but even Webster suggests it should include a "personal rapport."
But in today's fast-paced, attention-deficit world, personal phone calls have given way to occasional emails and text messages. And, in many cases today, those one-on-one messages are being replaced by shotgun Facebook and Twitter blasts to a faceless social mediasphere.
So what about Read More…

TANZANIA has joined a number of countries to call on the Security Council of the United Nations to change the mandate of the peacekeeping mission in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
The idea is to enable the peacekeepers to confront M23 rebels who have recently captured the eastern city of Goma in the vast and resource-rich country.
This comes as leaders of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR) and the political and security organ of the Southern African Development Community (SADC), known as the Troika, assemble for a meeting.
The leaders are expected to start a two-day meeting in Kampala, Uganda, today, to discuss the crisis. The ICGLR is chaired by President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda while President Jakaya Kikwete of Tanzania chairs the SADC's troika.
The UN Security Council had in September, this year rejected a joint proposal by the SADC and the ICGLR for deployment of a neutral international peacekeeping force in the DRC. Foreign Affairs and International Relations Minister Bernard Membe said in Dar es Salaam that Tanzania has been saddened by the seizure of Goma by the rebel forces.
"We are equally concerned by that fact that the 17,000-strong UN peacekeeping mission in the DRC, Monusco, is not doing anything but standing aside and watching people suffer. The Security Council should implement the UN Chapter 7 which would give the mission a mandate to intervene and confront the rebels.
"The mission is currently operating under Chapter 6 which only gives it power to observe and monitor the situation, it can only attack the rebels when it is provoked," Minister Membe explained during a news conference in Dar es Salaam yesterday.
He expressed concerns that the crisis in the eastern DRC could produce refugees who would flee to Tanzania, given the fact that the rebel outfit has also threatened to attack other towns in DRC. The minister said Tanzania is ready to offer a one battalion (about 800 troops) to the SADC-ICGLR peacekeeping mission in DRC.
"If the Monusco has failed then we in the SADC and ICGLR can do it. A mission of 4,000 soldiers is enough to wipe out the rebels," the minister said. He urged the rebels to lay down their weapons and leave Goma. Fighters from the M23 rebel group captured Goma, the main city in resource-rich eastern DRC, early this week.
Reports indicate that the rebels met little resistance from the Congolese army or UN peacekeepers. The President of DRC, Mr Joseph Kabila and his Rwandan counterpart, Mr Paul Kagame, flew to Uganda on Monday this week for talks amid claims that Rwanda was backing the rebels.
France and Belgium are among countries that have also challenged the UN Security Council to enable the peacekeepers to intervene in the conflict. Reports from the war-torn country indicate that the rebels abduct women and children from Goma.
Meanwhile, aid agencies say that tens of thousands of people have fled their homes in the last five days as conflict escalates. The recent rebellion and capture of Goma is the first since the initial war that ravaged the country ended in 2003.
There is fear that a wider conflict could erupt. Some five million people are reported to have died in the DRC war, which also dragged in the neighbouring countries of Rwanda, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Angola. Named after the 23 March 2009 peace accord which they accuse the DRC of violating, the M23 is led by Colonel Sultani Makenga while Commander Bosco Ntaganda, indicted by the International Criminal Court in 2006, heads its military operations.
In April, this year, former rebels who had been integrated in the main Congolese army formed the M23, also known as the Congolese Revolutionary Army, accusing Kinshasa of not adhering to the deal it entered with them on March 23, 2009.

Wait a stylus for the iphone I think I read about that on think geek... yep heres the link kind of bulky if you ask me but I guess it could come in handy on cold days when your wearing gloves.http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/cellphone/a31f/
Patent Watch: Say Hello to... iStylus?
Patent-mania running wild from Apple is nothing new, though these recent filings do seem a tad focused on enabling new form factors, don't they? To go along with the iFlip and iPhone Nano, and the iSlider, comes a little something that just might allow for an iStylus:
Another interesting possibility raised is the use of both capacitance (finger tip) and resistance (fingernail) to provide secondary functionality in future touch screens. [...] Apple suggests the addition of pressure sensitivity to provide additional functionality. For example, touching an item in a list with your fingertip would select it, while pressing it with your fingernail (or otherwise shielded finger or stylus) could bring up a pop-up menu (see picture above).
It's suggested that the patent could make things like text selection and -- wait for it -- cut and paste much easier to multi-touch, with the resistance input being akin to a right-button action on a mouse. Of course, we all know how much Steve Jobs loves buttons, never mind his audible YUCK! at the concept of a stylus.
However, resistance touch could be a blessing to those with long nails, who have complained that they have trouble getting the fleshy part of their finger to properly make contact with the current capacitance sensors. No matter how outdated (--cough--Treo 600--cough--) the technology is.
But never mind what I think, are you hankering to get your iStylus on? And if so, why so?
Have something to say about this story? Leave a comment! Need help with something else? Ask in our forums!
Reader comments
Patent Watch: Say Hello to... iStylus?
I would like the stylus as long as it wasn't mandatory to make it function.
I like the idea of using it for gaming, drawing, signing my name to an important email, adding googly eyes to pictures, etc. Also, if I CHOSE to use it for function that would be ok.. but I don't want it to be the only way I can make the phone function.
Does that make sense?
Stylus text entry would be quite welcome, what ever happened to the Newton entry that was so long ago. You would think they would have perfected it by now instead of relying on the onscreen keyboard that so many complain about. On Windows Mobile I routinely write reports that are several pages long using the stylus entry, and the WM is far from perfect. I couldn't even imagine what a perfected stylus text entry system Apple would create if they were so inclined.

What STD's symptoms show up a day after?
a guy went down on me, and the next day on the outside of my lady parts is a little red with tiny bumps... what std's show up the day after?
Most Helpful Opinion
The day after is REALLY fast ( lice maybe? Phthiriasis or Pediculosis pubis link ) and "tiny bumps"? I don't know if they bite, they probably do under the "right circumstances". In any case lice are annoying but if it's that, your life is not really in danger.
Remember, I'm NOT a doctor! (and condoms don't help against lice. Shaving does, if its that!)

Some say your baby's nursery should be light during the day to avoid day / night confusion while others say a darkened room will help your baby nap better. Who's right? This article will discuss whether your baby's room should be light or dark at nap time and why.
It is true that your baby can get confused as to whether it is daytime or nighttime, if they are in a dark place too long and for too much of the day. This is because light or sunlight stimulating our eyes is what "sets" our internal clocks to know whether we should be awake or asleep. This is also the way adults who work the graveyard shift can learn to stay awake all night and sleep all day. The fact your eyes are closed and it's dark in your room, even when it's 11 a.m. and the fact you might be in a lightened place or staring at a computer screen at 3 a.m. can "trick" your body into knowing to sleep during the day and not at night. Obviously, this does not happen overnight and can be more or less difficult, depending on the person. My mom was a nurse for many years who worked nights and, even though she is retired, she still has trouble sleeping all night and not during the day.
But, how much is this a concern for your baby's naps?
It is very important to clearly establish day and night with your newborn. When they were in your womb, they were lulled to sleep by your movement during the day and woke up at night (I'm sure you remember). And, if you don't establish to their internal clock that it's actually the reverse, you run the risk of being up at all hours in the middle of the night with a very awake baby, even if they are short periods of alertness. You will be even more exhausted than those of us who get up every two to three hours for night feedings.
But, once your baby has had day and night sleep clearly separated and your baby is no longer a newborn, a darkened nursery can do wonders for your baby's napping!
For the same reason that the light establishes your baby should be awake, it can be difficult for your baby to sleep in a light room, once she becomes more social (which begins around 6 weeks old when she may smile at you!). There are so many interesting things to look at, especially if you are like most parents who want the nursery to be an inviting and comfortable place for your baby and decorate it as such. Sleeping in a light room can be especially difficult for perceptive children who will find the smallest thing to entertain themselves. In fact, my eldest son couldn't even have a nightlight until he was a toddler! He was too young to be scared of the dark and was used to the darkness in my womb, so removing his nightlight improved his night sleep and room-darkening blinds (or you may prefer curtains) helped his naps and him from waking too early in the morning.
But, what if your baby naps too much?
Most people who frequent this site do not necessarily have this problem (babies and toddlers need up to three hours of daytime sleep for a looong time!), but there are no rules to say you can't open the blinds or curtains and simulate the sunrise during her nap. After your baby has napped at least one hour, you might let some light in for her to naturally awaken during her next sleep cycle. There is such a thing as "napping too much" in that it can "rob" night sleep, but generally, this is not a problem for most people. Most people want to know how to lengthen naps in the first place!
If you're looking for ways to get your baby or toddler into a healthy sleeping routine during the day, I encourage you to download our FREE guide, 7 Common Napping Mistakes, or explore Mastering Naps and Schedules, a comprehensive guide to napping routines, nap transitions, and all the other important "how-tos" of good baby sleep. With over 40 sample sleep schedules and planning worksheets, Mastering Naps and Schedules is a hands-on tool ideal for any parenting style.

Using the same unique approach and practical tools for success, this e-book helps you and your baby sleep through the night.

The Vampire Diaries
Smallville's Cassidy Freeman Cast as Sage on The Vampire Diaries
With both Katherine Pierce (Nina Dobrev) and Original Vampiress Rebekah (Claire Holt) out of the picture, Mystic Falls has been lacking in the badass female villains department.
Luckily, TV Line is reporting The Vampire Diaries' latest casting is a "sexy and fearless [female], with a devilish smile." Another bad girl? We'll take it! And if that isn't exciting enough, the role has already been filled by a face familiar to many CW fans: Smallville's Cassidy Freeman (Tess Mercer), who will play the character Sage.
During Season 3, Episode 16, sexy Sage will appear in flashbacks and the brunette beauty's "allure is felt by the Salvatore brothers and the Original family," reports TV Line. We know nobody sticks around this show for long, but Sage's character has the potential to be a recurring role. Can't wait for this new dose of evil to stir things up!

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Hauptsturmführer (SS Captain) Hans Grosse is a minor, though recurring antagonist during the Wolfenstein series, and appears in both Wolfenstein 3-D and the 2009 sequel, Wolfenstein. He is a large, mentally limited German male, but he is a threat due to his sheer size and brute strength. During the games he is shown to have incredible strength, normally carrying two heavy weapons when a normal man could hold only the one. During 2009's Wolfenstein, in which Hans has been resurrected, though no explanation is ever given for this, Hans shoots dead both the leader of the Kreisau Circle, Caroline Becker, and the leader of the Golden Dawn; Dr. Alexandrov, even though Alexandrov was a traitor working for the Nazis. He enters the Black Sun Dimension, giving Blazkowicz no choice but to pursue. Upon entering the Black Sun dimension, Grosse dons a suit of armor equipped with dual chainguns, a grenade launcher, and a Thule Medallion like his adversary's. After a massive fight, Blazkowicz manages to rip the Thule Medallion from Grosse's outfit, electrocuting him. It can only be assumed that he is killed when the Black Sun dimension destabilizes and destroys itself, though Grosse has shown incredible strength in the past and may well have survived, in typical 'bad guy' fashion.

2010 saw revenue hitting RM346.9m and a net profit of RM21.9m. This year should be RM462m and net profit of RM72.5m. Yes, its MALTON.
Malton released a strong set of 4QFY11 results which came in ahead of our expectations due to higher than expected billings at the property development and construction divisions. During the year, Malton recognised en bloc sales for an office tower at V Square, and contributions from a re-engineering project under the construction division for the completed and fully-sold Amaya Saujana condominium.
Things cannot be so nice and wonderful and expect no one to spot it. There must be some inherent reasons for the gross mis-valuation. Maybe something we don't know yet. In all likelihood, its probably the recent capital exercise. On 30 Dec 2010, Malton proposed a renounceable rights issue of up to RM156.57m nominal value 7-year 6% redeemable convertible secured loan stocks (RCSLS) at 100% of its nominal value, together with up to 156.57m free detachable new warrants and up to 78.28m new ordinary shares of RM1.00 each in Malton (bonus shares) attached on the basis of RM2.00 nominal value of RCSLS together with two warrants and one bonus share for every five Malton shares held.
The group also proposed an exemption for Malton and parties acting in concert from the obligation to undertake a mandatory take-over offer for the remaining Malton shares and convertible securities not already held by them after the proposed rights issue. The rights issue is to raise funds for working capital and possible strategic acquisitions, investments and business expansion. The proposal was completed with the listing and quotation of the RCSLS, warrants and bonus shares on 8 Jul 2011.
Note that the whole exercise was completed in July 2011, and we all know how difficult the markets had been since then. If the controlling shareholders does not have sufficient funds to mop up the "new and free shares", you'd see a mini collapse. I looked at every angle, there isn't anything seemingly sinister, just the sentiment was not right.
Malton's revenue and profit in FY12F-13F are expected to be supported by total unbilled sales from existing property development projects of around RM250-300m currently, as well as billings from the RM175m Jaya Shopping Centre construction project.
In addition to existing projects, new launches in the pipeline include:
o Ukay Springs initial phase, Ampang semi-detached and bungalow houses (GDV of RM120m,
targeting launch in end FY2011);
o Nova Saujana serviced apartments (GDV of RM320m, targeting launch in end FY2011);
o Seri Kembangan serviced apartments (GDV of RM180m, targeting launch in end FY2011);
o Sungai Buloh commercial development (GDV of RM500m, targeting launch in early FY2012);
o Bukit Rimau semi-detached and bungalow houses (GDV of RM15m); and
o Cantonment Road, Penang high-end duplex condominiums (GDV of RM50m, targeting launch in
early FY2012).
How to find a fair value, not much debt, 0.3x book ... even with the slightly downgraded property sector, Malton looks to be a very safe bet with a great cushion. First target is to match its 52 week high of 86 sen.
If the owners were smart, they'd be looking to take this private, I am sure with a more stable environment, private equity players would be lining up to offer full funding. Failing which, I am sure there are other vultures who will come in and try to take the owners out soon.

Kingdom of Drakkar: Really Good Among Oldschool Games
By Kei Beneza (dividelife),Onrpg journalist
I remember the year 2001 being the world's first step towards actual game graphics. After seeing this game, it took be back to my childhood days when these graphics were very much enjoyable and simple features such as picking classes were more or less godlike. Kingdom of Drakkar is an old school MMORPG that runs on the lowest end of the graphic meta. Despite being visually handicapped compared to other games however, Kingdom of Drakkar has established a healthy community that runs even up to this date.
You'll be surprised how a lot of people are still playing this fossil even with its outdated features and visuals. But what exactly separates this game from other fossils? What makes it so good as to have people play it knowing that there are much better games out there? Fanboy-ism or is it just plain awesome? I guess we're about to find out.
Starting Up
In this game, you can create a total offour characters per account. You'll be taken to the character selection screen where you get to decide your character's gender and race. The races are as follows: City Dweller, Forest Dweller, Mountain Dweller, Outcast, Underground Dweller, and Woodlands Dweller. What makes this really hard is the game's lack of descriptions. You basically have no idea what race you'll be choosing unless you're familiar with the game. The only thing that's clear so far is that the Outcast doesn't have the word 'Dweller' next to it. After picking your race, you will be entitled to reroll you starts ifthey everfail toachieve your approval. Rerolling your stats is quite important if your stats don't meet your desired play style.
Much like Dungeons and Dragons, you have to make sure that you character will function well under any circumstances. There are no limits to rerolling your stats, which is weird because they could have just let players distribute the stat points (but if that's what makes their boat rock, then fine). Classes are picked soon after you receive experience points and excessive training. The game has seven classes all in all: Fighter-Paladin, Barbarian, Martial Artist, Healer, Thief, Mentalist and Fighter-Mentalist.
Tips: You really have to know this - so you won't get lost
First of all, the controls are fairly simple yet confusing due to the game's lack of animation. You'll find your character teleporting to the area you click in, so you might want to go easy on the clickfest.Three clicks would get your character to random places, and due to the game's lack of the map function, you're bound to get lost.
Another thing is the pub system. I have to admit, I haven't seen a single game out there that requires you logout just so you can access the pub. Here in the Pub, you can gain allies as well as new quests so go out and get a good drink.
Blood Pools
Then, if you're really confused, there are golden blocks nor far from where your character will spawn first. Stepping on these will fill you in on the game's basics (or at least some of them). A little legacy of Oz.
Finally, the game lacks tutorials andexplanations. It would be wise to access the website before playing since it's probably the only way you'll be able to learn the ropes.
What To Expect
There isn't really much to expect here. It's basically a game that managed to live througheight years thanks toits loyal players. The Kingdom of Drakkar is built mostly of dungeons so you'll be strolling around, killing monsters upon arrival. The game has a series of quests which is quite a breakthrough during the old gaming Meta.
Flames Lap At Your Clothing
For an Old school MMO, the features are pretty advanced. There are a lot of adventures to keep you busy as it lets you team up with other players to pursue your goals more effectively. The game is still expanding, which is really awesome since thereis still new content to look forward to. The world gradually extends, letting players explore more dungeons and areas (which, unfortunately, lookexactly the same).
The game does have a bunch of magical items. You can dress up your character to buff him up but his default sprite stays the same. Equipments are one of the best reasons why players refuse to leave their favorite MMOs. The items in this game does lack the modern justice, but hey! It does preserve the realism factor.
Monsters and Mazes
One thing that most MMOs today no longer have is the maze factor. It's always a thrill to figure out where to go after facing countless monsters. Since most of today's MMOs don't respect this system, its dungeon system still prevails over all. This by far is a very good example why classics should never be forgotten.
Work Your Way Out
One little thing that I would have to go against would be the game's lack of PVP. Yes! Youcannot kill players, so if you're itching to prove your worth, then go ahead and kill monsters (maybe someone else is watching and would praise you for your awesomeness). There's also the lack of movement so you might not be able to move your character the way you want it. Adventuring is a breeze especially when you get the hang of it. I'm afraid it gets old at some point.
Controls and Graphics
The controls are (yet again) fairly simple that it makes everything so hard. You basically click on spot where you want your character to go. After a few seconds, your character will be teleported there in an instant. There are command buttonswhich allow you to attack, go up or down the stairs (yes those are 2 different buttons), rest and even drink. Logging out is as simple as closing the client, so if you're looking for the logout/quit button, just click the application's x button.
Kingdom of Drakkar Sewer Graphics
The graphics are horrible, and when I say horrible I meansuper outdatedhorrible. There are no movement animations, attack animations, or any other form ofanimations! If you're a total graphics buff and won't play anything that doesn't have cool visuals then you might want to stay away from this game since it has no graphic value whatsoever. The game is built entirely of 2D spites that don't have any spec of detail. Running it on a higher resolution would only stretch the blank parts of the game and not the game itself, so if you want a bigger interface then I suggest you lower your desktop's resolution.
The Verdict
It didn't really take me long enough to know what this game is all about. It's so basic, it's super hard. The game is pretty good but would definitely have a hard time keeping up with today's games. The thing is, it's not a bad game at all. The only thing wrong with this game is that it's no longer 2001. What we have here is a good MMO that is at the peak of its ownage. It is basically a example of a living and breathing MMO ancestor, so if you're willing to see where it all started, be my guest.
The Good: Considering its age
- Lots of classes and races to choose from
- Extensive roleplaying
- It's still alive
- Lots of Equipments
- The game gradually expands.
The bad:
- Outdated graphics
- Features are no longer new
- Not much players nowadays (Probably saw something else)
- It's just plain fossilized!

DA Not Bothered By End Of Early Release
Some folks in the Wisconsin court system won't be sorry to see an early release policy come to an end...
The Assembly has repealed early release, and sent the bill to Governor Walker. La Crosse County D-A Tim Gruenke says prosecutors, judges, and crime victims prefer to see longer sentences for many lawbreakers, and the policy passed two years ago led judges to impose longer sentences to make up for possible early release. Republican leaders in the legislature disputed claims by Democrats that releasing some prisoners early would save tax money.

Yang, WN; Shang, CX; Guo, ZX; (2010) Site density effect of Ni particles on hydrogen desorption of MgH2. INT J HYDROGEN ENERG , 35 (10) 4534 - 4542. 10.1016/j.ijhydene.2010.02.047.
Full text not available from this repository.
Fine Ni particles are effective in catalyzing hydrogen sorption of MgH2, but there is confusion about the extent of this effect in relation to Ni particle size and content. Here, effects of Ni particles of different sizes on hydrogen desorption of MgH2 were comparatively investigated. MgH2 mixed with only 2 at% of fine Ni particles rapidly desorbs hydrogen up to 6.5 wt% around 200-340 degrees C, but there is no significant difference in the desorption temperature of the mixture when Ni particles vary from 90 to 200 nm. Increasing the content of Ni to 4 at%, or a combined (2 at% Ni + 2 at% Fe), leads to hydrogen desorption starting from 160 degrees C. Further analyses of the literature suggest that the effectiveness of Ni catalysis largely depends on its site density over MgH2 surface, i.e., an optimal site density of catalytic particles is important in balancing the sorption properties of MgH2. The projected trend suggests that MgH2 can desorb hydrogen from 100 degrees C, the targeted temperature for fuel cells, if the number of catalyst sites is around 4 x 10(14) per m(2) of MgH2, or the number ratio of Ni to MgH2 particles is about a million to one.

CAIRO: Egyptian security services have banned a film about the Jews of Egypt on the eve of its scheduled release, the director told AFP on Tuesday.
"The film was banned by National Security," Amr Ramses said by telephone from New York.
The film, which documents the lives of members of the Egyptian Jewish community in the first half of the 20th century, exploring themes of identity and tolerance, was meant to be screened in three cinemas on Wednesday.
"The head of the censorship board said National Security wanted to see a copy and they refused" to have the film screened, Ramses said.
The documentary had already received approval from the censorship board, and Ramses said he planned to take legal action to have the decision reversed.
The trailer had already created a big buzz in Egypt, with so little locally produced material about the Jews of Egypt.
Much of the community left the country after the Suez Crisis in 1956 which saw then president Gamal Abdel Nasser expel Jews who were deemed disloyal to the nation.
Today Egypt's Jewish population consists of just a few dozen. The community keeps a low profile for fear of being persecuted.

In the compliance mode, industry ultimately accepts the goals set by the government and promises to comply with whatever implementing regulations follow. By far the bulk of past industrial efforts have been expended to keep such promises. There is an important set of secondary goals that accompany these formal promises of compliance. They are to comply as cheaply as is possible, taking account of normal capital and operating costs and also the costs of non-compliance. Penalties for non-compliance have been severe in terms of civil and criminal penalties and loss of public image. In this regard, industry reacts no differently to environmental rules than to any other set of public mandates.
As we shall see, corporate environmental goal-setting becomes much richer in the proactive phase of environmental management. Cost-cutting and other rationalizing actions remain a strong driver, but environmental goals begin to reflect what are underlying broad social environmental concerns more explicitly. This is the period in which environment emerges as an explicit area of concern in corporate policies and public communications.
In the last stage, managing for the environment, companies broaden goals to deal with problems such as global warming, ozone depletion, excessive resource depletion, and loss of productivity. With the publication of the Brundtland report in 1987, the overarching paradigm has become sustainability, even while no consensus on its operational meaning has been reached. The change towards aggregate goals such as the prevention of ozone depletion is problematic in terms of establishing discrete industry or firm goals as so many sectors and firms are causal agents. (See, however, the discussion of the Dutch target group approach, below.) At this stage, sectoral and collective approaches to goal-setting become more important.
The following sections discuss trends in and examples of corporate environmental goal-setting in the final three stages of environmental management. Much of the information presented below has been obtained from phone interviews and literature provided by industry associations and firms, corporate annual reports, and a number of recent books on the subject of corporate environmentalism. While it is by no means a comprehensive study, it is intended to provide an outline of some of the trends in environmental goal-setting and some conjectures for the future.
The natural environment has been inextricably linked to human society since the earliest stages of human development. Much of what we call civilization consists of the technological artifacts that humans use to gain both sustenance and protection from the natural world. For much of human history, the environment was just there, to be treated as a regenerative resource for human use. Social consciousness about the environment in the United States became organized late

|Kristin dos Santos
|Kristin Veitch
February 24, 1975
St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.
|Columnist/television personality
|Years active
|2001 — present
|João dos Santos (m. 2007)
Kristin dos Santos (née Veitch; born February 24, 1975) is an American television personality and columnist for the E! Entertainment Network. She covers television series appearing on major U.S. broadcast, cable and premium networks.
Early life and career[edit]
Dos Santos was born in St. Louis, Missouri. Her family moved to San Diego, California the same year she was born. She graduated from Poway High School in Poway, California, then continued on to Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles where she earned a Bachelor of Art degree in communications. After college she went to work for Southern California newspapers as a reporter and an editor before moving on to the E! Network where she got the "Watch with Kristin" site.[1]
Santos has a blog on E!'s website where she talks about TV shows with the help of her reporters and interns. She used live interactive chat with fans where she took questions about their favorite shows, sometimes involving spoilers for upcoming episodes. The chat transcripts were posted on the website. She also posted a weekly column on Fridays which was an often lengthy article about shows, sometimes containing interviews.
When The E! website changed in 2006, so did the "Watch with Kristin" area. As of 2007, there is a blog which is updated daily with more features such as Vine videos, Tater Tops Awards (which are her awards where fan votes according to their opinion unlike the Emmys), Save It or Sink It votes for new shows, and a weekly non-live chat Q&A. Kristin appears in regular segments for E! News on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 7pm, as well as a regular show on E! Online's The Vine, which is also accessible from their website.
In addition to her work on E!, dos Santos takes small acting roles. She has appeared in the television programs Summerland, Heroes, Tru Calling and Felicity. She played a dead body for one episode of Six Feet Under. She has played "The 30s Woman", a dead body that comes back to life in the third episode of Pushing Daisies.
Personal life[edit]
On July 14, 2007, she married Brazilian boyfriend João dos Santos. In September 2007, Kristin announced that she wished to use her married name of Kristin dos Santos. This marks the second time in her years at E! that she has changed her on-air name. Originally, her E! News segment was known as "Watch with Wanda," but when knowledge of her real name became public, her segment was changed to "Watch with Kristin."
On April 5, 2009, dos Santos gave birth to a baby boy Luca Alexander dos Santos. On February 20, 2011, she gave birth to a second baby boy Matteo Tomaz Dos Santos weighing 7 pounds 10 ounces.

Independence Day brings changes to transit schedules
June 29, 2012
NEW — 4:30 p.m. June 29, 2012
Issaquah bus riders should prepare for Sunday schedules on July 4 as King County Metro Transit and Sound Transit observe Independence Day.
The holiday schedule means many Metro Transit commuter bus routes do not operate. Bus riders should be sure to check the schedule for individual routes in advance of the holiday. Sunday fares go in effect on all Metro Transit routes July 4.
Due to many holiday events starting over the weekend and continuing through July 4, riders should check for bus reroutes in the Metro Online Alerts Center under the Construction & Events heading. Or, sign up for Transit Alerts to receive news about specific routes.
In addition, all Metro offices, including the Customer Information phone lines, close for holiday. When the Customer Information Office is closed, most transit information is available on Metro Online, or in the online Trip Planner.
Ditch $4-per-gallon gas on Dump the Pump Day
June 20, 2012
NEW — 10 a.m. June 20, 2012
Regional public transit agencies joined forces to encourage commuters to forgo $4-per-gallon gasoline Thursday for Dump the Pump Day.
Sound Transit, King County Metro Transit and other agencies asked commuters to board buses, trains and ferries for the national event. Organizers said more than 560,000 riders already use regional public transportation services.
Metro is reaching out to riders on Facebook to ask how they plan to dump the pump. In addition, 10 people can win a Dump the Pump T-shirt and a regional ORCA card loaded with $10. Organizers plan to select participants in a random drawing June 25.
Commuters can use the American Public Transportation Association's monthly transit savings calculator to determine the costs of driving versus using public transit. Read more
County accepts applications for Metro Transit board
June 19, 2012
Issaquah residents can apply to a King County board to improve transit services.
Officials need a King County Council District 3 representative for the King County Transit Advisory Commission — a panel formed last year to advise King County Metro Transit staffers, the county executive and County Council, local jurisdictions and local transportation boards.
District 3 stretches from Woodinville to Issaquah, and from Lake Sammamish to the Kittitas County line.
Members include residents, entrepreneurs and other people concerned about transit service in the county. Members must live in King County and at least half of the members represent disabled or elderly riders.
The executive appoints members and, after approval by the council, appointees serve two-year terms.
The county accepts ongoing applications for the board. Learn more about the panel, and find application information, at http://metro.kingcounty.gov/have-a-say/be-an-advisor.html.
Expect transit schedule changes on Memorial Day
May 24, 2012
NEW — 2 p.m. May 24, 2012
Issaquah bus riders should expect King County Metro Transit and Sound Transit scheduled changes Monday for Memorial Day.
Metro Transit operates on a Sunday schedule for Memorial Day. The transit agency is also offering special shuttle bus service Saturday through Monday to the Folklife Festival at the Seattle Center from the Northgate Transit Center and South Renton Park & Ride.
For Metro Transit service, if a bus route does not usually operate on Sunday, then no service is offered on Memorial Day.
Metro offices also close on the holiday, including the customer information phone lines. Use the Trip Planner for travel assistance.
King County Council to scrutinize proposed arena package
May 18, 2012
NEW — 8 a.m. May 18, 2012
King County Council members intend to scrutinize a proposal to build a $490 million sports and entertainment arena in Seattle to determine if financing for the plan is feasible and if arena-related traffic could harm other businesses in the area.
County Executive Dow Constantine and Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn, joined by investor Chris Hansen, a San Francisco hedge fund manager, on Tuesday announced agreements between the county, city and the ArenaCo investment group to govern financing for a proposed arena near Safeco Field.
The proposal heads to the County Council and the Seattle City Council for additional study.
The investment group intends to contribute $290 million to construction and more than $500 million to purchase a National Basketball Association franchise. Investors also hope to land a National Hockey League team for the arena.
County transit charge appears on vehicle tab renewals
May 15, 2012
Motorists in the process of renewing vehicle license tabs should notice a $20 charge authorized by the state Legislature and enacted by the King County Council last year.
The fee, billed as a Congestion Reduction Charge, is meant to prevent cuts to King County Metro Transit bus service. The county starts collecting the fee on June renewals sent out by the state Department of Licensing. The charge remains in effect until May 2014.
The renewal forms also include information for motorists to obtain tickets for eight free ride tickets on Metro Transit. The ticket incentive program is designed to build ridership.
Motorists must fill out a request form in order to receive the tickets. The value of the tickets also can be donated to a fund to support low-income residents relying on bus service.
Find information about the ticket incentive program and eligibility requirements at www.kingcounty.gov/metro/tip. Learn about the Congestion Reduction Charge at www.kingcounty.gov/metro/crc.
Officials estimated the charge should generate about $50 million for transit service.

Issaquah residents commuting to or from downtown Seattle on Tuesday afternoon should prepare for delays, King County Metro Transit advised riders Monday.

After the Call of Life
The Jung Institute of San Francisco
Sunday, January 27, 2013 from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM (PST)
The Friends of the C. G. Jung Institute Presents:
AFTER THE CALL OF LIFE: A discussion of the psychological meaning of the species extinction — and reason for hope.
With Dr. David Ulansey
Sunday, January 27, 2013 | At the Institute | 2 - 5 PM
Reservation required, closing date January 23 ONLINE REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED **Please contact Deborah O'Grady at email@example.com to inquire if extra seating is available.***
Dr. David Ulansey is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy and Religion at the California Institute of Integral Studies, and a producer of the award-winning film Call of Life. Following the successful screening and discussion of his film in 2012, he will lead an exploration of whether the current environmental crisis is a symptom of something having gone "wrong with the psyche," or whether it is instead a meaningful, self-generated challenge—something like a collective trial of initiation—with the potential to open the way to a decisively new and fruitful stage in the destiny of humanity.
The talk will also explore an unexpected third possibility—a "tertium quid"—strongly supported by Jung's work: namely, that how we interpret the meaning of this moment might in the end determine whether its outcome is pathological or redemptive. For, as Jung said, "Whatever explanation of interpretation does... we do to our own souls as well." (The Archetypes of the Collective Unconscious, par. 271)
No Continuing Education Credits are Available for this Event.
The C. G. Jung Institute of San Francisco is a non-profit educational and community service organization that devotes itself to the furtherance of Jungian thought in clinical work and in cultural discourse. In addition to its Analytic Training Program, the Institute provides educational events for the general public, seminars for professionals, and produces Jung Journal: Culture and Psyche, now published by Taylor & Francis. The Institute houses an extensive library and offers a sliding scale psychotherapy clinic. Friends of the Institute, an auxiliary organization, welcomes new members.
For more information, please visit us online at www.sfjung.org.

let us know how it goes - AMDs CPUs arent as powerful for gaming as Intels CPUs. That's a great processor, but i feel that it's still holding you back.
Get that CPU stable then check your fps. After that, just get another 7970
I believe, if I can remember correctly, 6100, when overclocked to around 4.2 or 4.4 GHz was, then, able to match i3' performance
Do let us know anyway how it goes
I use the BIOS, easiest way is to bump up the Multiplier, it works in simple terms like this
FSB is 200MHz
Multiplier is x17
200x17 = 3.4GHz (That is my CPU config)
Bump the multiplier from x17 to x18 and you get another 200MHz = 3.6GHz or 3600MHz
Same if you up the FSB, 200>210 x 17 = 3570MHz
But increasing the FSB will also OC your RAM so best to stick with the multiplier unless you want to try OCing other things too
If you get a bluescreen or no boot, bump the CPU voltage up a tiny amount
My CPU from 3.4GHz to 4GHz = from 1.35v to 1.49v but always try to stabilize the OC with the least amount of voltage
well im currently at 4.11GHz and appears to be now stable after a couple of minor cranks of the voltage. i had only two freeze ups, mid game. no bsods. didnt take much additional voltage to get her stable either. May push her a little further tomorrow. added 0.4 onto my windows score too! think she will go further. but i'll be honest, cant say im noticing much if any increase in FPS in game!

Polio: Unprotected Story
Polio Pioneers
It's important to remember that in the 1950s, protecting the public from polio was, in the truest sense, a national project. Every effort was made to see that the vaccine would be widely available to all children and polio would be wiped out.
More than 50 years ago, polio held U.S. families in a grip of terror. Especially during the summertime, when polio seemed most likely to circulate, parents feared they would hear in the news or from neighbors that someone in the community had polio. "People tried to keep their children safe from the potentially paralyzing disease by keeping them out of public places such as pools, parks, and theaters," explains Dr. Anne Schuchat, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The nation came together like never before in an effort to create a vaccine to protect children from polio. Millions of Americans raised funds in their communities for research. Much of the funding came through the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis (presently the March of Dimes Foundation), founded in 1938 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, himself paralyzed by polio in the prime of his life. Before the March of Dimes drew national attention to the search for a polio vaccine, two attempts to develop a polio vaccine had failed—neither produced immunity and some deaths were blamed on one of the vaccines.
In 1952, Jonas Salk and his team at the University of Pittsburgh created the first effective polio vaccine. By 1954, it was time to test the Salk vaccine widely. Thomas Francis Jr. at the University of Michigan led the nationwide test, the scale of which had never been seen before. More than 1.8 million school children across the United States participated. Thousands of health care professionals and other volunteers administered the vaccine and collected results.
Everyone had the same goal: victory over polio. In 1955 the results were proclaimed: the Salk vaccine was "safe, effective, and potent!"
The Salk vaccine was made by killing the poliovirus, and it was given as a shot. The second polio vaccine licensed for use in the United States, created by Albert Sabin, was an oral polio vaccine, which was made by using a live weakened version of the poliovirus. By 1963, a formulation of this vaccine that prevented three strains or types of polio—like the Salk vaccine before it—was available.
"Polio was eliminated in the United States in 1979," says CDC's Dr. Greg Wallace. "But, because polio still circulates in other parts of the world, we need to continue vaccination in the United States."
"Scenarios for polio being introduced into the United States are easy to imagine, and the disease could get a foothold if we don't maintain high vaccination rates," explains Dr. Wallace. "For example, an unvaccinated U.S. resident could travel abroad and become infected before returning home. Or, a visitor to the United States could travel here while infected. The point is, one person infected with polio is all it takes to start the spread of polio to others if they are not protected by vaccination."
It's important to remember that in the 1950s, protecting the public from polio was, in the truest sense, a national project. Every effort was made to see that the vaccine would be widely available to all children and polio would be wiped out.
Vaccinating each child in the United States today remains a priority. As some countries have seen in the last decade, without widespread vaccination, the disease rapidly returns and people must once again work to eliminate it.
