Ok I work nights and most weekends so don't get to many games so I apologise if my getting a ticket for the game deprived anyone who goes every week. Had to work Friday night but got away soon after 6am and got some kip at least. Into Dens at 2pm, the earliest since I was a bairn in the late 60's/early 70's but boy was it worth it, what an atmosphere.
My son travels and goes to Dens with the LBC squad so I was right in the mix with them making it was a bouncing day from start to finish, they just don't let up, ok, sometimes the behaviour is a bit over the top but generally they are the heart and soul of the chants and songs, and, most of them go to every game, home and away.
Now, I know some of you on here have in the past panned Twist And Shout but today's rendition was just something special, the whole corener of the Derry was phucking jumping, the hairs on my neck were standing up and I was welling up, it was just an incredible feeling, footie fans having a great time.
So to the goals, I've been in some decent crowds at Dens but the noise, particularly at the second goal was deafening and the celebrations wild. I had to crouch down to avoid possible death as the surge hit me, some boy even leap-frogged over me to get down to the front, ffs, what is it about football that gets us like that???
Like many, I thought we'd see the game out but the 2nd half became very nervy, credit to Dumbarton for having a right go at us, I think our boys were getting nervous, as were we on the terraces as the unthinkable unfolded at Hamilton. Dumbarton's penalty had us all absolutely bricking it as we just didn't look like scoring again, they should have had another penalty but we should have had one too, their keeper also had a great save from Peaso as we finally got in and around the box to get some shots away. Then there was Letheren's save at the death, jeezo, how did he get down to that, everyone did their job today and none more so then Kyle Letheren in that split-second that pretty much won us the game.
Once we got the ball down in the corner I knew we'd done it but it seemed like an eternity until the ref blew for time-up and the emotions ran riot.
I'm not against pitch invasions and I thought today most of the guys did it well by coming off again so the trophy could be presented and the team could do their lap of honour, yes there was still a few guys being idiots but it was all pretty good natured, the older guy dancing away to Three Little Birds right down in the corner was a hoot, the police had to ask him to move off the track area but he wasn't having it, thankfully he didn't get lifted, what a great moment. As was keeping the ball in the derry, did it ever get punted back onto the pitch? I saw one guy on the pitch after the whistle with a ball shoved up his top, mental scenes.
And that was that, I couldn't go out to celebrate as I had to work again on Saturday night but I looked back on it all through my shift, what a day, thanks Dundee FC and thanks to our incredible support, we deserve so much better and who knows? maybe better times are on their way, the significance of today's result might not have dawned on us, but it will.
Altogether now... "Come on come on come on baby now, twist and shout (twist and shout)... etc etc. 04 May 2014 08:41 Started on 'Dees Banter' forum

If the profit is claimed to be around the 100k mark does that not suggest the club has actually LOST 3-400k??????
The DABS should eat some humble pie and realise how f*****g lucky they are to have the Thomson's plugging their leaky finances let alone the wages they must be paying this season.

Regional cheese and smoked fish could be among EU's protected products
Around 15 Romanian products could get European protection after the country's Ministry of Agriculture will send the documentation by end-2014, capital.ro informs. The applications for two Romanian products, namely the Ibanesti cheese (Telemeaua de Ibanesti) and the Novac smoked fish from Tara Barsei (Peste Novac afumat din Tara Barsei) were already submitted to the European Union (EU). "We already have a list of 31 products, we are currently working on it in order to send it to the European Union, while two other files have already been submitted to Brussels: the Ibanesti cheese and the Novac smoked fish from Tara Barsei.
Other two files for cheese from Marginimea Sibiului and Sibiu salami were also submitted to the ministry. These two are still being analyzed," said Viorel Morarescu, Director within the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. "Our target for this year was to submit 30 files to the EU, a quite ambitious target, but I hope to at least have up to 15 files sent to the EU for protection by the end of this year," he added. The Romanian Topoloveni plum jam (Magiun de prune Topoloveni) is the only Romanian product added by the European Commission to the register of protected designations of origin (PDO) and protected geographical indications (PGI). Meanwhile, the European Commission published at the beginning of this month the Regulation as regards the food categories of meat and the use of certain food additives in meat preparations, which will enter into force on June 25 and which allows, among other things, the preparation of Romanian mici sausages according to the original recipe and their trading on the national market, as well as at European level. According to data released by the Pro Agro Federation, nearly 20,000-25,000 tonnes of mici are consumed in Romania a year.

FH's Chris Aviles Sits on OET Tech Tuesday: Games for Learning
Every Tuesday the U.S Department of Education's Office of Educational Technology holds a weekly roundtable discussion with edtech experts. The discussion held on May 5, 2015 was "Games for Learning" and our Educational Systems Coordinator Chris Aviles was invited to discuss his thoughts on the topic and share what we are working on here in Fair Haven!
The discussion's playback can be viewed by visiting: http://jo.my/OETtt.
Everyone is starting to take notice of the great things we are doing in Fair Haven, even our DOE colleagues in D.C.!
It is with great pride that Knollwood School displays the pictures of graduates who are serving their country on active duty in the Armed Forces of the United States of America. These young men and woman have chosen sacrifice and service to their country and are not forgotten as they protect our way of life. This "Wall" reflects that dedication and honors their service. In a continuing effort to keep this display current the committee reaches out to the community to solicit any information about Knollwood graduates who are currently serving.
Public Questionnaire on School Needs
The Fair Haven School District is currently engaged in an effort to assess educational, operational and facility needs in the district and exploring solutions for improvement. This is expected to take the form of a future referendum. Your input via our questionnaire over the past two months has been greatly appreciated. The data will be shared at a later time on our website, under our Strategic Planning page.

Brioche For Burgers?
Adam's great piece on burger definitions got me thinking. I really don't like brioche buns for hamburgers. Brioche is too sweet and usually too fragile for the large burgers it usually is used with. I like brioche a lot, just not there. We have a brewpub in town that uses English muffins for their burgers, which I can tolerate, but spare me the brioche.
Whaddya think?

A malfunctioning electrical transformer near the D.P. Culp University Center threw the East Tennessee State University campus into darkness Thursday afternoon.
University Relations Director Joe Smith said the power was out between 12:25 and 1:15 p.m. until a work crew was able to restore it.
Shortly after two, the electricity was on at ETSU, but Smith said workers were still attempting to correct the transformer problem.comments powered by Disqus

What's so good?
By Sean O | Nov 12, 2012 | Total plays: 26,009
Minnesota consistently impresses me with his melodies. He delivers big room electronica without the jarring robot sex sounds that pollute a lot of what I hear. While we're on the topic of excellent Minnesota remixes, check out his take on Ellie Goulding's "Starry Eyed" if you get a chance. It's a few months old, but it's still really, really, ridiculously good.

The South African data centre market is in its growth stage and is expected to grow strongly in the next few years due to outsourcing trends, declining prices, and compliance requirements. From a business perspective, outsourcing is becoming more and more mainstream, as enterprises choose to focus on their core business and outsource less mission-critical systems, including data centre operations. Furthermore, the low availability and high cost of hiring a skilled workforce in South Africa are setting up challenges for operating data centres internally and hence spurring the demand for outsourced data centre services.
Increased proliferation of data centre services, notably cloud computing, is expected to lead to greater uptake of services and hence growth of the data centre market. Cloud

Built to last – but who cares?
Business books are full of delicious ironies.
For instance, Byron Sharp's 'How brands grow' has inspired legions of devoted fans. Despite being a demolition job on the whole concept of loyalty.
Likewise, Adam Morgan's 'Eating the big fish' has rightly become a market leader in planning thinking. Despite being a paean to challenger brands.
Meanwhile. Robert Heath's various papers on 'Low involvement processing' make James Joyce's 'Ulysses' seem like 'Topsy and Tim go to the Zoo'. Despite championing the idea that we don't want to think too hard about brands.
Based on this apparently immutable, inverse relationship between business titles and their results, I've long thought of launching a book called 'A poor man's guide to advertising', as a sure-fire way of making me filthy rich.
However, my faith in this logic has been shattered by a recent re-read of an old favourite, 'Built to last' by Collins and Porras. According to my theory, this analysis of the ingredients behind long-term corporate success shouldn't stand the test of time. But it does – in spades.
OK, so some of the companies the authors praised back in 1994 have had their troubles since then (Motorola, Ford and SONY spring to mind). But the basic principles of having a 'Big Hairy Audacious Goal', an enduring purpose beyond making money, and a restless culture of self-improvement still really resonate. (Arguably, it's precisely because the companies named above lost these qualities that they got into difficulty).
So the book is still a great guide for creating enduring corporate value. But hold on a minute. Maybe companies and agencies are less interested in doing this in the first place, these days? Perhaps today's business environment is so pressurised and short-termist that next week's figures are all that count? Or the Quarterly results. Or, at best, a sprint to an IPO. It certainly feels like the whole idea of 'building something to last' has gone out of fashion, which I believe is not only a great shame (surely it's more satisfying for all of us to create something of enduring value than a flash in the pan?) but economically flawed (a host of studies show that the long-term approach is much more effective than the short-term view).
If you haven't read 'Built to Last' please do, as we could all do with lifting our heads up from the day-to-day. Think about the short-term, of course, as most studies show that lasting success is the cumulative result of earlier, ongoing victories (it doesn't just appear out of nowhere). But try to keep an eye on the more distant horizon too.
In the meantime, maybe my theory still holds good. Best get on with that book of mine…

Shooting without government authorization, filmmaker Ellen Perry penetrates the heartland of China to uncover the unique heritage and beauty of this great river and to understand the profound changes the dam will bring to China's people.
Using archival footage and expert engineering testimony, GREAT WALL examines the government's case for the massive dam before investigating the monumental impact it will have on the people, the environment and the priceless archeological sites of the region.
To China's leaders, the Three Gorges dam will propel the nation's economy into the 21st century. The project promises significant power generation along with improved flood control and safer navigation.
But it will also turn riverbank cities into freshwater Atlantises, forcing over a million people to leave their homes forever.
GREAT WALL takes the audience to ground zero of the largest peacetime evacuation in history. Frustrated and feeling powerless, the people facing relocation complain about their fate. One tells of corrupt local officials who seek to line their pockets with compensation cash meant for the farmers.
As the Yangtze region inhabitants are moved, they must abandon not only their homes and land, but ancestral burial grounds and temples. With American archeologist Elizabeth Childs-Johnson and the chief of China's recovery effort, Yu Weichao, GREAT WALL explores these links to China's past. Between 80 and 90 percent of the endangered sites will be buried deep under water. Chinese archeologists, who cannot question the dam without risking their jobs, desperately plead for an international effort to save the relics.
Meanwhile engineers debate the technical challenges of the project. Have the Chinese engineers solved the problem of sediment build-up, or will the reservoir become choked with mud as the years pass? Even if dire scenarios fail to materialize, a slight miscalculation in sediment treatment could create financial disaster.
To many critics, the real motive behind the dam extends beyond the official line. They believe government leaders have cast the dam as a symbol of China's emergence as a major technological and economic superpower. The critics say that from the government's perspective, the dam must be completed as a matter of national honor. But will saving face condemn China to fiscal and ecological catastrophe? Each day that the project moves forward, turning back becomes more costly and politically risky.

Although all the original principal actors remained with the show in smaller parts, Aldredge and Close were the only two who retained their starring roles. "The recasting hurt it," says Barry Primus, whose impersonation of Jack Kerouac was taken over by future I Dream of Jeannie and Dallas star Larry Hagman, in his Broadway debut. "We had developed a chemistry from working together all season in St. Louis; now we're in a bigger space with new people and new sets. The revised show didn't have time to jell."
Then there was the matter of Goddard Lieberson. Lantz persuaded Lieberson, the head of Columbia Records, to become one of the principal financial backers of the Broadway venture. In turn, Lieberson demanded excisions that eroded The Nervous Set's irreverence.
"Goddard would say, '"Pitch for Pot" has to go,'" Flicker remembers. "He felt that if the score included a song promoting marijuana, he'd never get radio play for any of the other songs. So I'd take it out. Then Robbie would say, 'You have to cut this anti-Catholic line because it will offend [New York Herald Tribune theater critic] Walter Kerr.' And I'd take it out."
Why was Flicker so submissive?
"I didn't realize it at the time, but I was clearly out of my depth," he says. "In St. Louis I knew that nobody knew anything, so I did whatever I wanted. But now I'm in a place where I'd never been before. I figured these two titans knew what they were talking about. I really fucked it up. I should have insisted on doing my St. Louis production. Instead, with the sight of Broadway my integrity went right out the window. I didn't know I was throwing it away, but I was."
The drugs surely played a part, as well.
"That was a time in America when the doctor would say, 'You're running out of energy? Here, take one of these a day,'" says Flicker. "I was taking Dexamil twelve-hour spansules. They enabled me to work twenty-hour days. I was lighting five packs of cigarettes and sixteen cigars a day. There was never a moment when smoke wasn't pouring out of my face. The Nervous Set came at the end of our St. Louis theater season, so I was already exhausted. By the time I got to New York, I was really nutso. It's not an excuse, it's just a fact. I collapsed during the New York rehearsals with nicotine poisoning. After the show closed and I went to my parents' home in New Jersey to rest, I realized that not only was I kicking nicotine, I was kicking speed. So that whole period of New York rehearsals is bizarre in my mind."
Flicker is perfectly clear when it comes to one thing, however. "In St. Louis, 'Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most' was the best song in the show. But it had already been written and recorded prior to The Nervous Set. It was the only song in the show for which Tommy didn't own the publishing rights, and Robbie refused to pay the publisher. And true to the fool I had become, I let him drop it from the Broadway production.
"Had that happened a few years later, when I understood what was important to me in my work, I would have said, 'Either that song is in the show or I'm out.' Or I would have said, 'No, I'm not changing any of the cast from St. Louis.' Or I would have said, 'No, we're not replacing the suicide with a happy ending.' Instead I destroyed The Nervous Set. The consequences of those decisions have followed me all the rest of my career, even now."
Two months after its world premiere in St. Louis, The Nervous Set opened at Henry Miller's Theater on May 12, 1959, with its revamped script and cast. Flicker hosted a post-performance party at the Lobster Restaurant on West 45th Street. The first review, by the eminent Brooks Atkinson of the New York Times, hailed Broadway's newest entry as "the freshest satire on current manners New York has seen all season."
But the cast was so busy toasting Atkinson's prescience, they didn't bother to notice that he was only praising Act One. To Atkinson, the second half could not "hold a candle to the impudence of the first act."
Unknowingly, the reviewer had homed in on the ill-advised wholesale changes.
As review after review arrived, it became depressingly clear that most other critics didn't share Atkinson's enthusiasm even for Act One. The Nervous Set closed after only 23 performances. Columbia Records went ahead and released the original cast album, but even then Lieberson did not record Del Close's song, "Rejection," which Atkinson had singled out as "an exuberant hymn to mental illness."
"We couldn't believe how sophisticated people were in St. Louis," Fran Landesman says today. "And we thought, 'Wait'll they see The Nervous Set in New York!' It turned out that the New Yorkers were much squarer than the people of St. Louis."
Maybe; maybe not. "The New York production was neither fish nor fowl," says the Landesmans' old friend Jerry Berger. "In St. Louis, a small show on a small stage was great fun, but in New York it looked like a small show on a big stage. Even the jazz quartet was not quite as charming as it was in St. Louis." In fact, the notion of onstage musicians (a guitarist had been added to the original trio for the New York production) was much admired by Richard Rodgers, who became one of the show's champions. In his next musical, No Strings, he too put the orchestra onstage.

Marshall supports a Hybrid 1:1 program for all students. Middle school students use school owned iPads and Macbook devices. The Upper School employs a "BYOD" model where students bring their own laptop with them to school each day.
Marshall provides school-owned Apple devices for middle school students.
Students are required to bring a laptop computer. Either a Macbook or a PC running Windows 7 or 8 is also acceptable. It is expected that this new machine should last students for their time in the Marshall Upper School.
Most work on the laptops will take place in the "cloud," but due to the cross-platform approach, the student version of Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) is required. A complete list of required and non-required programs is found here.
Purchase and Maintenance
Upper school students and their families are responsible for purchasing and maintaining the laptops. The school recommends families purchase a three-year warranty. Since laptops are required, the expense can be included in the overall cost of a Marshall education that is used in determining regular financial aid awards.

Breakfast for Two at Denny's
The wife an I were driving and had about an hour to kill before we needed to pull over for gas and breakfast. When it was time for both, Denny's was next door and seemed the best choice.
For 6.99, I got a humongous plate of food called the "meat lovers trio" (or something like that). It had two eggs over easy, a chicken fried steak with country gravy, two slices of smoked bacon, two nice sized sausage links, and even included hash browns which I got with jalapeno peppers added. It was definitely enough calories for the whole day and I wasn't hungry again until late that evening.
My eggs were the best over easy I've had in years. The hash browns however were dried out and withered and the chicken fried steak was merely decent. This wife got pancakes and eggs and seemed happy.
Breakfast was just a tad over $20.

Residents in southwest Bakersfield neighborhood to experience power outage Thursday
Power outage will last from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - A dozen residents at one southwest Bakersfield neighborhood will lose power Thursday due to the replacement of a power pole.
Residents at the 3700 block of Loma Vista Court are expected to lose power from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. tomorrow.
PG&E warned residents a week ago that they would need to shut off electricity in order to fix a molding power pole, but residents weren't happy about the construction.
"It's going to be hot and our foods going to spoil. I'll have to board my dogs and I'll have to find a place for me and my new born," said Mary Ann Krating, whose house will lose power tomorrow.
Neighbors said they do understand that the pole needs to be replaced, but wonder why the electric company can't schedule it at a different time.
"They can wait a little bit more," said Marco Rios, another neighbor who will also lose power tomorrow.
PG&E representative, Tracy Correa, said the construction is planned yearly and can't be moved once it is already set.
""We do this throughout the year. So, work can't be rescheduled at the drop of a hat and we have to proceed," Correa said.
Although construction will continue tomorrow, 23ABC put together a list of tips to help people if they ever experience a power outage.
- Move food to a cool ice chest. Make sure food remains under 40 degrees.
- Keep your freezer door shut at all time. A full freezer can stay cool for nearly 2 days, if not opened.
- If you're worried about food spoiling, fill and freeze plastic bottles to keep food in the fridge cool.
- As temperatures sit in the 100's, you want to make sure you stay cool. Visit a cooling center or a friends house, if your home is too hot.
- If you due experience food spoilage, you can make a claim with PG&E at 1(800)743-5000

I was a junior in college, calling home a few times a week to assure my mom I hadn't been incarcerated. She used to be super excited to hear from me, but with each subsequent call, she seemed increasingly rushed, like she didn't she didn't have time to talk, which was impossible because I'm pretty sure she had a phone surgically affixed to the side of her head.
Finally, I called her out: "MOM! What's the deal? You want me to call, so I call. Then you have zero time to talk?"
I could tell she put her hand over the phone to muffle her words: "Your brother's baseball coach is here. He is soooo handsome! Giggle. Squeal."
"Mom, you're a cougar. It's gross."
"Stephanie, he is! He has the best set of teeth I've ever seen!"
It would benefit you to know my mom is a dental hygienist, as well as a cougar.
Turns out this guy was a math teacher and coach, so he tutored my brother in Calculus and threw him batting practice. And the sick phone call cycle continued; I just learned not to call around dinner because The Coach was there eating/tutoring/giving my mom reason to giggle like a school girl.
A few months later, my girls and I were volunteering at a local church. Okay, that's a lie. We were at a bar and I was feeling goooood. I literally bumped into this guy and the first thing I noticed? His teeth.
My thought process was as follows:
Look at those teeth–so white! Mom will be proud.
His skin is amazing. Olive complexion. Bet he's Italian. Dad will be proud.
He's wearing an Italian horn on his necklace. Definitely Italian. Our kids will be gorgeous.
You betcha.
It was The Coach. And my mom was not kidding.
We started talking. We started laughing.
His friend started interrupting.
His friend would not shut the f*ck up. The Coach walked away.
I hated the Interrupter. But he bought me another drink. So I said yes when he asked me to go to dinner with him the following weekend.
All that week, I kept thinking about The Coach. I called home when I knew he would be there because I'm subversive like that. Unfortunately, my date with the Interrupter was coming up, and despite my efforts to get out of it, the night was finally upon us. I pre-gamed with a few friends in preparation.
When I sat down across from him at dinner, I just burst out laughing. I think I told him about 423, 242 times how much he looked like his twin sister, with whom I had been friends in high school, and I also announced how weird it would be if we were to kiss because "it would be like kissing a girl." He was visibly annoyed. Success. No second date.
Fast forward a few months and summer was in full-swing. I chose to stay at school to take classes, but I managed to get home to watch a few of my brother's baseball games. The Coach was the summer coach. Subversive like that.
I flirted. I attended as many games as I could. I know a thing or two about the game, so I tried yelling intelligent things at opportune times:
Nice bat, 5!
Heeey! There's a dinger! (I just liked to yell 'dinger')
I went out to dinner with the team and the parents after the games. I pretended to be interested in replaying the entire 9 innings, focusing on how the team could improve. I ate salads. Salads.
Screw it. It wasn't working. The Coach didn't even notice me! I was so upset that I complained to my dad who had been helping coach the team. He assured me, "Stephanie, when it's baseball season, he knows nothing but baseball."
So I devised a plan: The Coach was going to call my brother about meeting for an extra batting practice or something that no one cared about, and I was going to answer the phone. I was going to take the bull by the horns and ask this man to take me out, dammit! The whole family knew not to touch the phone when it rang–I was on this.
Unfortunately, I was also on the toilet because, in case you missed it, I'm there a lot.
RIIIING!!! I run, with pants around my ankles, to grab the phone. I return to my throne and clear my throat.
Uh, hey. Is your brother there?
Yeah, but before I put him on, can I ask you something?
Silence. Then, Sure.
I've been trying, man. I'm not good at this stuff. I've been flirting and trying to show interest, but you're either not understanding or you're not interested. And that's okay if you're not. Just tell me because I thought we could, like, hang out?
I prepared to jump out of the bathroom window.
Then, YES! I would like that. YES! Let me grab a pen and I'll take your number and, YES! That's good.
He was a little nervous and, more than likely, surprised that I was so forward.
And so it began. Our courtship, eventual engagement, marriage, two kids, two dogs, a house, and a blog. That last one is just for me.
The really weird part? The Coach, AKA: my husband, grew up 5 miles from me. We were two years apart, but attended the same high school. We were involved in the same sports, clubs, and activities. We went to the same college, both majored in education. He replaced me around my family's dinner table while I was away at school. He befriended my parents, coached with my dad, inspired my brother in the classroom and on the field. We were always *thisclose* to one another, but never even knew it. My dad didn't even have the option of hating The Coach when he asked for my hand in marriage. He was right under my nose the whole time, but circumstance wasn't on our side until 2002. I had to come last; it was just meant to be.
Now I come first.
He still has great teeth, incredible skin, and makes me laugh until my stomach hurts. Turns out the Italian horn was a cross, and he's Polish, but there are worse things in life.
Like baseball season.

If you spend any time at the beach or park, you will see moms applying sunscreen to their children's skin. This is great to help limit the risks of sunburn and skin cancer. The problem is that there is another important organ that can be damaged by the sun and is being ignored…the eyes!
The eyes are 10 TIMES more sensitive to the sun than the skin. It seems as if everyone understands the damage of ultraviolet radiation from the sun and how using sunscreen can protect our children's tender skin. For some reason, many have forgotten or were not told about the potentially damaging effects the sun has on our children's eyes. Everyone (including mom and dad) should be protecting their eyes because the damage from the sun is cumulative over time….it all adds up!
The current options to protect our kid's eyes are sunglasses and hats. These are great options when they are worn. Very few children will wear them and they are not worn every day. Since we are exposed to damaging light on sunny days, cloudy days and now even inside with our new fluorescent light bulbs, we need another layer of round the clock protection. There is new evidence emerging that the new fluorescents lights (CFL's) are emitting damaging UV and blue light. A new product is now available with ingredients that some experts say is like "sunscreen for the retina."
ichews is an oral supplement that is being distributed by Peeper Protectors and is meant to be used along with hats and sunglasses. This great tasting, chewable tablet is being formulated specifically for children. It will provide targeted antioxidants, carotenoids, vitamins, and minerals that will help protect the delicate eyes of children. All of these products have been shown to be safe and can be found in natural fruits and vegetables.

In 2007, the National Institutes of Health recorded more than 22,000 new cases of ovarian cancer, and more than 15,000 deaths from it. It's been called "the silent killer" because its early symptoms are subtle. For women diagnosed in stage 1 of the disease, the cure rate is 90 percent, but most cases aren't diagnosed until the cancer has spread.

International Experience
Students who are completing the Global Health Studies certificate must complete an International Experience during which they address an important Global Health issue in a systematic way. Typically this is done in an international setting and eight weeks is considered the optimal amount of time to meet this requirement. The international experience may be completed as part of a study abroad program, a service learning course, an internship, a volunteer experience, or as an independent research project.
Click here for examples of International Experiences completed by UI Global Health certificate students.
Click here for a summary of Global Health Studies International Experience resources, or meet with the GHSP academic advisor to discuss.
The International Experience requires GHSP steering committee approval and supervision by a faculty member of the GHSP steering committee. Up to 3 semester hours of academic credit for the international experience, whether in the form of independent study, study abroad or internship credit, may be applied toward the required minimum 7 s.h. of Global Health electives.
For more information about the Global Health Studies Certificate International Experience (i.e., preapproval form, and criteria for the project proposal), go to Forms/How-To on the certificate website.
PLEASE NOTE: Any international experience which involves "human subjects" must be reviewed by the University of Iowa Institutional Review Board (IRB) prior to the initiation of the project. Proof of the determination/ review process must also be submitted to the Global Health Studies Program before the international experience proposal can be approved. Read a summary of the IRB process on the International Programs website. For all questions contact the IRB at 319/335-6465; or complete the IRB determination form to find out if your research meets the definition of human subjects research.
Funding the International Experience
Students admitted to the Global Health Studies Certificate program are eligible to apply for a Global Health Studies Travel Award. The award has the following criteria:
- Applicants must be admitted Global Health Studies certificate students

IOWA CITY, Iowa - Iowa State may have solidified its NCAA tournament credentials with a win Wednesday night and Iowa's climb toward the tournament is still steep, but neither are considered definitely in or out with 10 days until Selection Sunday.
ESPN basketball blogger Eammon Brennan has a terrific breakdown of which teams are locks, probable entries and bubble teams entering the final 10 days before the NCAA selection bracket is released. Below is a breakdown of Brennan's selections along with my own adaptations.
Among the big six conferences (Big Ten, Big 12, Big East, ACC, SEC and Big 12), there are 21 locks and eight probables. The locks are obvious and the probables are, well, probable (Villanova, Illinois, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Colorado, California, Oregon, Missouri).
Regarding the primary mid-major conferences (Atlantic-10, Mountain West, Missouri Valley, West Coast, Conference USA), there are 11 locks (New Mexico, UNLV, Colorado State, San Diego State, Butler, VCU, St. Louis, Creighton, Wichita State, Gonzaga, Memphis).
There are 17 one-bid leagues that shouldn't give any bubble teams concerns over league tournaments. But there are three leagues with teams that could cause problems Ohio Valley, Sun Belt and WAC. If the top seed holds in those leagues, all is well. However the top team in each of those leagues would become very competitive for an at-large bid.
Sun Belt regular-season champion Middle Tennessee State (27-4, 19-1) is the top team receiving votes outside the coaches' poll top 25. The Blue Raiders have won 12 straight games and has an RPI of 23. But they are 0-3 against top 50 teams and just 1-3 against the top 100.
WAC regular-season champion Louisiana Tech (26-3, 16-0) has won 18 straight games but has an RPI of 49 and a strength-of-schedule at 255. Ohio Valley's Belmont (22-6, 14-2) is 1-2 against top 25 teams and 5-0 against teams 51-100. Belmont is receiving votes in both polls and will face stiff tests in the OVC tournament from either Murray State or Eastern Kentucky.
If any of those three lose in their conference tournaments, they immediately enter the at-large bubble pool against high-major squads for NCAA bids. They'd be very competitive, too.
Three other conference tournaments are filled with potholes. Creighton and Wichita State are virtual locks from the Missouri Valley Conference but if third seed Northern Iowa upsets those two (very possible) and wins the MVC tournament, that takes away an at-large spot. Same situation in the West Coast Conference if No. 1 Gonzaga is upset by any team other (and possibly including) than St. Mary's. Akron could compete for an at-large spot if it doesn't win the Mid-American Conference tournament.
Brennan identifies 19 teams with "work left to do." That projects to eight open NCAA spots. Thirteen of the bubble teams hail from high-major leagues, while six come from mid-major conferences.
The 13 high-major teams include: Virginia, Maryland, Cincinnati, Providence, Iowa, Iowa State, Baylor, Arizona State, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Alabama and Arkansas. The six mid-major bubble squads are Boise State, La Salle, Temple, Xavier, St. Mary's and Southern Miss.
Let's take a look at each of those teams and their NCAA resume entering the final 10 days of the regular season.
RPI: 63; Strength-of-schedule: 132
Record vs. top-100: 7-2 (2-2 vs. top-25)
Good wins: Duke, North Carolina State, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Maryland, North Carolina
Bad losses (includes bubble teams): Clemson, Old Dominion, Wake Forest, Boston College, Delaware, George Mason
Looking ahead: at Florida State; vs. Maryland
Prognosis: Virginia has terrific wins and inexplicable losses. Beating Maryland on Sunday coupled with one more win (either Florida State or in the ACC tournament) should get the Cavaliers into the NCAA tournament.
RPI: 84; Strength-of-schedule: 121
Record vs. top-100: 3-8 (1-4 vs. top 25)
Good wins: Duke, North Carolina State
Bad losses: Kentucky, Florida State (twice), Boston College, Georgia Tech
Looking ahead: at Virginia
Prognosis: A loss at Virginia all but eliminates the Terrapins barring an ACC tournament title appearance. The Terrapins seem outside the tournament right now.
RPI: 45; Strength-of-schedule: 16
Record vs. top-100: 8-10 (1-4 vs. top 25)
Good wins: Marquette, Pittsburgh, Xavier, Oregon, Alabama, Iowa State, Villanova, UConn
Bad losses: Providence, St. John's
Looking ahead: vs. South Florida
Prognosis: Bearcats don't have a loss to a team with a losing record and have played a competitive schedule. By virtue of beating three bubble teams, Cincinnati should get in with little discussion.
RPI: 79; Strength-of-schedule: 68
Record vs. top-100: 5-8 (0-5 vs. top 25)
Good wins: Notre Dame, Cincinnati, Villanova (twice)
Bad losses: DePaul, Brown, Penn State, UMass
Looking ahead: at UConn
Prognosis: The early losses were horrific and although there are some decent wins as of late, the overall record and resume will keep Providence out of the NCAA tournament.
RPI: 77; Strength-of-schedule: 114
Record vs. top-100: 5-9 (1-6 vs. top 25)
Good wins: Iowa State, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois
Bad losses: Virginia Tech, Nebraska, Purdue
Looking ahead: vs. Nebraska
Prognosis: The lack of a big road win coupled with a subpar non-conference schedule means Iowa must do some work in the Big Ten tournament. A defining second-round league tournament win gets the Hawkeyes in the conversation. A semifinal victory probably gets them in.
RPI: 51; Strength-of-schedule: 53
Record vs. top-100: 6-8 (2-5 vs. top 25)
Good wins: Baylor (twice), Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State
Bad losses: Iowa, Cincinnati, Texas Tech, Texas
Looking ahead: at West Virginia
Prognosis: Iowa State appears almost a lock, although a loss at West Virginia coupled with a first-round Big 12 tournament exit could cause committee to re-evaluate the Cyclones' status.
RPI: 67; Strength-of-schedule: 28
Record vs. top-100: 4-10 (0-6 vs. top 25)
Good wins: Kentucky, Oklahoma State
Bad losses: College of Charleston, Northwestern, Iowa State (twice), Texas
Looking ahead: vs. Kansas
Prognosis: Unless Baylor can upset Kansas and win a couple of Big 12 tournament games, the NIT is the likely bet. The Bears played some good teams, but didn't get enough quality wins to offset a few rough losses.
RPI: 93; Strength-of-schedule: 134
Record vs. top-100: 6-8 (0-1 vs. top 25)
Good wins: Arkansas, Colorado (twice), UCLA, California
Bad losses: USC, Utah, DePaul, Washington (twice)
Looking ahead: at Arizona
Prognosis: The wins aren't strong enough to override losses at this point. Sun Devils need to win probably three more to get into heavy conversation.
RPI: 53; Strength-of-schedule: 78
Record vs. top-100: 6-9 (0-3 vs. top 25)
Good wins: Missouri, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Maryland
Bad losses: Baylor, Texas A&M, Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee
Looking ahead: at Georgia, vs. Florida
Prognosis: The defending champion Wildcats' resume is shockingly mediocre and the theme is similar with all the SEC bubble teams. It all could come down to a decent performance in the SEC tournament.
RPI: 56; Strength-of-schedule: 48
Record vs. top-100: 6-9 (1-2 vs. top 25)
Good wins: Florida, Kentucky, Alabama, Xavier, Wichita State
Bad losses: Kentucky, Alabama, Ole Miss (twice), Georgia (twice), Arkansas, Virginia
Looking ahead: vs. Missouri
Prognosis: The Volunteers have played much better in the last month but outside of upsetting Florida and dominating a depleted Kentucky squad, their resume is ordinary. But 20 wins should get them in.
RPI: 57; Strength-of-schedule: 162
Record vs. top-100: 6-6 (0-2)
Good wins: Alabama, Tennessee (twice), Arkansas, Missouri
Bad losses: Mississippi State, Indiana State, Kentucky, South Carolina, Texas A&M
Looking ahead: at LSU
Prognosis: Like the rest of the SEC, Ole Miss' fate could come down to the SEC tournament. A quick exit likely means an NIT spot.
RPI: ; Strength-of-schedule:
Record vs. top-100:
Good wins: Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Villanova
Bad losses: Ole Miss, Auburn, LSU, Tennessee, Mercer, Tulane, Dayton, Cincinnati
Looking ahead: vs. Georgia
Prognosis: Alabama's resume is weaker than its SEC brethren so it must win a couple head-to-head battles in the SEC tournament.
RPI: 76; Strength-of-schedule: 69
Record vs. top-100: 6-10 (2-3 vs. top 25)
Good wins: Kentucky, Missouri, Florida, Tennessee, Oklahoma
Bad losses: Texas A&M, Vanderbilt, Ole Miss, Alabama, South Carolina, LSU, Arizona State
Looking ahead: vs. Texas A&M
Prognosis: Arkansas just too many losses to mediocre or comparable opponents, coupled with three defeats in the last four. A 30-point road loss at Missouri probably sealed its postseason fate.
BOISE STATE 20-9, 8-7 Mountain West
RPI: 44; Strength-of-schedule: 81
Record vs. top-100: 7-7 (2-5 vs. top 25)
Good wins: Colorado State, UNLV, Creighton
Bad losses: Nevada, Air Force, Utah
Looking ahead: vs. San Diego State
Prognosis: Boise has a nice middle-of-the-road resume with a couple decent wins and a few regrettable losses. The difference in one more win vs. two could mean the difference between the NCAA and NIT.
LA SALLE 21-7, 11-4 Atlantic-10
RPI: 38; Strength-of-schedule: 98
Record vs. top-100: 5-6 (1-1 vs. top 25)
Good wins: Villanova, Butler, VCU
Bad losses: Temple, UMass, Xavier, Central Connecticut, Bucknell
Looking ahead: vs. St. Louis
Prognosis: A couple of nice conference wins but the non-conference losses could off-set those in the committee's mind. A win at conference leader St. Louis could cement the Explorers' NCAA bid. Otherwise La Salle might need at least two or three A-10 tournament wins to stay back in the conversation.
XAVIER 17-12, 9-6 Atlantic-10
RPI: 86; Strength-of-schedule: 71
Record vs. top-100: 5-7 (1-1 vs. top 25)
Good wins: St. Louis, La Salle, Temple, Memphis, Butler
Bad losses: UMass, Dayton, Tennessee, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Charlotte, St. Joseph's, Wofford, Vanderbilt, Pacific, Wake Forest
Looking ahead: at Butler
Prognosis: Barring a win at Butler and an A-10 run to the championship game, the Muskateers have the perfect NIT resume.
TEMPLE 22-8, 10-5 Atlantic-10
RPI: 41; Strength-of-schedule: 72
Record vs. top-100: 9-5 (1-2 vs. top 25)
Good wins: Villanova, Syracuse, La Salle, St. Louis
Bad losses: Canisius, Xavier, Duquesne, St. Joseph's, St. Bonaventure,
Looking ahead: vs. VCU
Prognosis: Of the A-10 bubble teams, Temple has the best resume. There are a few concerning losses, but the Owls have won six straight games and have nine top-100 wins.
ST. MARY'S 26-5, 14-2, West Coast Conference
RPI: 36; Strength-of-schedule: 127
Record vs. top-100: 6-3 (0-2 vs. top-25)
Good wins: Creighton
Bad losses: Northern Iowa, Pacific, Georgia Tech
Looking ahead: WCC Tournament
Prognosis: Other than a win against Creighton, it's a pretty nondescript campaign for the Gaels. There are more losses to non-NCAA tournament teams than wins against solid competition. A win against Gonzaga or the WCC title (likely one and the same) might be the only way to avoid another NCAA heartbreak.
SOUTHERN MISS 22-8, 11-4 Conference USA
RPI: 42; Strength-of-schedule: 87
Record vs. top-100: 3-6 (0-3 vs. top 25)
Good wins: None
Bad losses: Marshall, Central Florida, Louisiana Tech, New Mexico State
Looking ahead: vs. Central Florida
Prognosis: Southern Miss has a nice record but offers little else compared to the high-major teams who have played and beaten competitive teams in and out of conference play. It should take a Conference USA tournament title to clinch an NCAA berth.
NCAA BUBBLE PROJECTIONS (top eight teams qualify)

WWE Revamped
by, 07-07-2011 at 04:05 PM (5060 Views)
Vince McMahon seems to hate competition. However, history has shown that having strong competition makes the industry stronger. The WWE, even though it is still the most popular brand in the industry, is not as strong as it could be and is certainly not as strong as it has been. Although the competition with TNA has helped to some extent TNA is certainly no WCW. The way things are currently going in TNA I can not see them ever having all that much of an affect on the way things are run in the WWE. We can all hope that ROH or one of the other up and coming promotions will be able to burst onto the stage and give the WWE a run for its money and improve the industry as a whole. But let's face it the WWE has the legacy, the fan loyalty and, most importantly, the money. Unless there is another Ted Turner out there with the capital and the television stations to really push a promotion it doesn't look too good for the competition.
In my opinion much of the downhill slide that the WWE has been taking started not with the death of WCW but at the end of the Invasion storyline. The end of the Monday Night Wars and the death of WCW itself didn't have as much of an immediate impact on the WWE as it could have mainly because they kept a pseudo-rivalry going with the storyline Invasion by WCW and ECW. WWE has already brought a watered down version of ECW back to life for a while, which shows that they may be open to the idea of bringing competition back to life if it helps them in the long run. Why not use this idea full force?
Here is my idea on how they could bring some competitive spirit back to the company: actual competition between shows. This basically takes the pretty lame "rivalry" already in the WWE storyline and pushes it to the next level though it would require bringing ECW back to life yet again and rebranding Smackdown as WCW Friday Nitro. It would also require moving all the Divas to one show, resurrecting the Cruiserweight division and possibly bringing in some more little people. At first this would mean spending more money but I feel that it would start bringing in quite a few more fans and their money fairly quickly.
All of these shows would remain under the ownership and oversight of WWE Corporate. However, each show would have its own wrestlers, commentators, creative staff, etc. Ratings for each show would determine what percentage of the total budget that show would get. I.e. if one show got 50% of the total ratings for the quarter that show would get 50% of the quarterly budget to use for bonuses and to hire wrestlers, commentators, writers, etc. from the other two shows and from other promotions. This would mean that each show was competing against the other two without actually drawing fans away from the other two since they would not be on at the same time. The bonuses would be for ideas and actions that drew ratings the previous quarter and would thus create a competition which could bring about new storylines, better moves, better gimmicks, etc. Also, each show would host four pay-per-views per year using only their commentators but, likely, having wrestlers from all three shows competing on it. Also, Corporate could host a few pay-per-views per year where wrestlers from all shows compete.
Here is an example of the new set-up:
WWE Monday Night Raw
Rules: Current
Tier 1: WWE ChampionshipPossible PPVs: Wrestlemania, Royal Rumble, SummerSlam and Survivor Series
Tier 2: Intercontinental Championship
Tier 3: European Championship
Tag Team: WWE Tag Team Championship
Novelty: Divas Championship
Right now women's wrestling in the WWE is pretty much a joke. Most of that has to do with the WWE's obsession with hiring hot models as wrestlers instead of getting women with real talent. Some of it is also due to the fact that there are not really enough Divas to have them split up between two shows. If the WWE wants to keep going with the Diva's Championship they should get some real women wrestlers like they were apparently trying to start doing with the signing of Awesome Kong/Karma but at the very least they could increase competition for the belt by having them all on one show.
WCW Friday Nitro
Rules: Current Smackdown rules
Tier 1: Word Heavyweight ChampionshipPossible PPVs: Starrcade, The Great American Bash, Slamboree and one other
Tier 2: United States Championship
Tier 3: Television Championship
Tag Team: World Tag Team Championship
Novelty: Cruiserweight Championship
In my opinion one of the big draws to WCW was fast action and high flying of the Cruiserweights. Plus it looks kind of ridiculous to have a guy the size of Mysterio with a strap when all a guy like Big Show has to do is get his hands on him once and it would be over. Give them their own strap and it looks a lot more legitimate. Plus, this division makes the dream of regular sized guys of being wrestler feel a lot more real.
ECW Hardcore [TV-MA]?
Rules: All matches are No Disqualification, No Holds Barred, Falls Count Anywhere
Tier 1: World Hardcore ChampionshipPossible PPVs: Hardcore Heaven, Anarchy Rulz, Barely Legal and one other
Possible Tier 2 and 3: Cage (or Hell in a Cell) Championship, Last Man Standing Championship, 24/7 Hardcore Championship and Submission Championship
Tag Team: Tornado Tag Team Championship
Possible Novelty: Little People's Hardcore Championship
It seems to me that the biggest draw to ECW and the reason they had such a rabid fan loyalty was that there are quite a few people out there that want to see hardcore matches. I have seen that lately the WWE has been relaxing a little on their aversion to showing blood and on this show they would need to relax that quite a bit more and go back to the original rules of ECW, which is what made it great. Also, it seems to me that there has been quite a rise in the popularity of little people wrestling. It also seems to me that quite a few of them seem to be willing to do whatever it takes to make it in the industry. Why shouldn't the WWE be able to both capitalize on this and bring much more credibility to these wrestlers?
Other Possible PPVs: Night of Champions, Hell in a Cell, No Mercy, Backlash, Judgement Day, Vengeance, Money in the Bank, TLC, Sin, Uncensored, Hog Wild/Road Wild (Sturgis?), Bash at the Beach, Fall Brawl, Halloween Havoc, Mayhem
Alternatively each show could host its own pay-per-views using only its own talent and keeping the PPV profits for their own development and Corporate pay-per-views could be the only place where talent from all three shows would compete. Under this option Corporate should probably have Wrestlemania, the Royal Rumble, Night of Champions and Money in the Bank. The downside is that this would leave Monday Night Raw hosting SummerSlam, No Mercy, Backlash and Vengence or TLC. The upside, from Corporate viewpoint, is that there would be 16 pay-per-views per year.
Use of the word Novelty in reference to certain types of wrestling is not meant as a slight it is simply acknowledging the fact that the WWE does not see them in the same light as the Heavyweight division.
All of these opinions are my own and I am not an expert so many of them may be completely wrong.

I know it's only the first issue but what do you think so far? This is one of those things that most fanfics and online RP's are about, the children of the X-Men. Now we get to see Marvel's take on the whole idea. I wonder if the bad guys will be children of villians and such, and how far they're willing to go with it. I honestly can't wait for the second issue. Anyone else have any thoughts?

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. The drug psycho has appeared in all of the Fallout games. It consists of a syringe, a vial of the drug, a small tube and a large band to hold it together. It's a pretty 'rag-tag' medicine that gives the user a short boost of AP(Action Points), AP is then used for the V.A.T.S skill. Psycho is used as a medicine for NPCs, the effects would probably slow down the heart rate or even make the patient feel drowsy. You can become addicted to Psycho, this means you need to keep on having it, the withdrawal side effects cause the player to either have less AP or it can drain the player's strength, so a full suit of Power Armour won't be a good choice.

Jail's failed '02 inspection surfaces
State did not include record in initial response relating to jail inspections
Another failed inspection at the Nueces County Jail has surfaced, this one dated 2002.
The failed inspection was not included in the State Commission on Jail Standards' response to an open records request from the Caller-Times. The newspaper made the request after U.S. Marshals removed 55 federal prisoners last month, citing inhumane conditions.
State records have shown compliance problems at the jail as far back as 2001, during former sheriff Larry Olivarez's term in office. Olivarez was elected in 1996 and left office in January to run for county judge.
Olivarez did not return phone calls to his home, cell phone or campaign office Wednesday or Thursday.
The 2002 report and a letter sent to Olivarez and former County Judge Richard Borchard, obtained by the Caller-Times Wednesday, showed state inspectors found the smoke-detection system in two new holding cells and two new detoxification cells was not working correctly.
The state cleared the four new cells, with a total capacity of 51, for inmate use in January 2003. The November 2002 inspection and follow-up inspection reports were not included in the state commission's response to the newspaper's June 21 request under the Texas Open Records Act.
The Caller-Times asked for "reports from inspections of the Nueces County Jail from the years 2000 to 2005, inclusive, and complaints about the Nueces County Jail since March 1, 2006."
Shannon Herklotz, state jail standards commission program specialist, said those two reports were in a separate folder because they were new construction inspections rather than full annual inspections of the jail, so they were not included in the response. The construction inspections clear new areas for inmate use but do not affect the jail's certification, he said.
Annual inspection reports from the five years were included in the response, which came the same day as the request. No complaints about the Nueces County Jail had been filed with the commission, state officials said.
Annual inspections are required under state law for jails to be certified, while new construction must be inspected separately before inmates can occupy the new areas. The commission also can conduct surprise inspections.
State jail inspectors failed the jail in April 2001 after they found 124 inmates crammed into holding and detoxification cells meant to hold 70 prisoners. A follow-up inspection cleared the jail that July.
A July 2003 inspection failed the jail again when inspectors found deficiencies in life safety equipment and drills. The jail was reinspected and certified the following month.
Sheriff Rebecca Stutts, who took office in January, said other than overcrowding problems in 2001, most of the compliance issues were minor and were fixed immediately.
"It was not a pattern (of failed inspections) that I am aware of and I would have been aware of a pattern," said Stutts, who served as jail administrator prior to being named sheriff when Olivarez stepped down to run for county judge.
U.S. Marshals last month conducted two inspections at the jail and the state also conducted its annual inspection. The jail failed all three.

press release
Commenting on the new text released at the Rio+20 conference today, Christian Aid's Senior Advisor on Sustainable Development, Dr Alison Doig, said:
On 'closing' the text:
'The Brazilians, apprently supported by many major delegations, are determined to shut down further debate on the text. But with world leaders arriving in Rio and more than three days of the conference to go, that would be a betrayal of all we're trying to achieve and a staggering waste of opportunity.
'So we're challenging heads of state and government to use the remaining days to inject some desperately needed urgency into the text. It must respond to the gravity of the environmental crisis and the scandal of global poverty, and create momentum for sustainable development. There is so much at stake - this is not the time to stop working.'
On sustainable development goals:
'As far as the sustainable development goals are concerned, the Brazilians have worked hard to find a way between different sides' irreconcileable positions. We're pleased with much of what the text says on the goals - for instance that they must be universal, developed by a wide range of different interests and integrated with whatever replaces the Millennium Development Goals.
'But we're disappointed that the text remains vague on how - and even if - the sustainability goals will be merged with the MDGs' successor to get a single set of strong global development goals.'
On Sustainable Energy For All:
'The text contains some good words on access to energy, but it's completely devoid of urgency. Ban Ki-moon's Sustainable Energy for All initiative is merely "noted" and there is no target date for achieving universal access to energy, by 2030 or any other date.
'The text also opens the door to the dangerous idea that 'clean fossil fuel' could be considered as low-carbon energy. That is open to a very wide interpretation and could lead to dirty fuels such as shale gas being classified as 'low carbon'. The text is also depressingly weak on renewable energy, with no targets - just a vague wish to ímprove the share of renewables in the energy mix.'
On corporate sustainability reporting:
'The text includes some weak language suggesting sustainability reporting by publicly listed and large companies. More encouragingly, it opens the door for a sustainability reporting process that moves forward from Rio+20 and must be taken up by companies, governments and civil society. The process could help to ensure that companies - good and bad - are held to account for the way they affect the environment and people's lives, and pushed towards significant improvements.'

Nine years after a 1996 Camry with an accelerator defect led to a fatal accident in Minnesota, Toyota was found at fault and ordered to pay $11 million.
Reuters and The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that Toyota Motor Corp. and the United States Department of Justice are close to a deal that would resolve a criminal investigation into how it disclosed to government regulators customers' complaints about unintended acceleration. The Journal is reporting that the settlement would involve Toyota paying as much as $1 billion in fines, ending a four year investigation. Sources say that the deal could still fall apart, or the amount of money involved could change.
A Califonia jury ruled that Toyota Motor Corp was not at fault in a 2009 accident in which 66 year old Noriko Uno was killed when her 2006 Camry ran into a tree after being hit by another car. Uno's survivors blamed the accident and her death on unintended acceleration and Toyota's failure to incorporate a brake-override system in Uno's car. This was the first wrongful death lawsuit over accusations that Toyota products could uncontrollably accelerate. The jury found that Uno's Camry was not defective, instead placing full liability for her death on the driver of the car that hit Uno before she sped the wrong way down a one-way street and into the tree. Uno's survivors were awarded $10 million.
Toyota won two out of four of his decisions, but U.S. District Judge James Selna ruled that Toyota still must go to trial for an unexpected-acceleration case filed in federal court, according to a report by Bloomberg.
After losing a motion to prevent him from appearing, Toyota Motor Corporation's CEO for North America, Jim Lentz took the witness stand in a lawsuit filed by the survivors of a woman who was killed when her Camry allegedly sped out of control and hit a tree after it was hit by another car, whose driver is a co-defendant in the case. One issue in the court case is why Toyota did not equip Noriko Uno's car with a brake override system that automatically closes the throttle when the brakes are applied.
The first wrongful death lawsuit concerning the sudden acceleration of Toyota cars to go to trial has started with opening arguments.
