Latvia Rumors
Justin Cobbs signed with VEF Riga. The guard had the training camp in Europe with Laboral Kutxa and in the NBA with Charlotte Hornets.
Eurohoops reported it since Saturday and today FIBA Europe announced it at Madrid. Croatia (Zagreb), France (Montpellier), Germany (Berlin) and Latvia (Riga) will co-host EuroBasket 2015 getting one group of the first phase each and France will also host the final round at Lille in the modified football stadium of the city with a total 28.000 seats capacity. Tony Parker and company will have the chance to defend in their home country the European champions title which was won last year.
Madrid will announce EuroBasket 2015 hosts on September 8. Croatia, France, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Poland, Israel and Turkey are on the list of possible host countries. The Board of FIBA Europe decided to relocate 2015 EuroBasket from Ukraine. The decision has been officially announced earlier. The situation in Ukraine has not changed drastically in the last months so the decision seemed inevitable.
Utah Jazz center Andris Biedrins has decided not to represent Latvia this summer at Eurobasket in Slovenia. Hot on the heels of Latvia's success at the under-20 Sportland European Championships, the men's squad assembled for training camp last Thursday with Biedrins' name crossed out as absent. The 27-year-old then confirmed to Latvian sports outlet 'basket.lv' that he will be spending this summer focusing on rejuvenating his NBA career with the Jazz.
Emiliano Carchia: OFFICIAL: Andris Biedrins this year will not play for Latvian NT at Eurobasket in Slovenia
Today Latvian National Team started training camp for Eurobasket but Andris Biedrins did not show up. The Federation hopes to have Biedrins for Eurobasket scheduled in September in Slovenia while the player has not given any reason why he can't join the National Team. His agency, BDA Sports, wants him to play for National Team. Last season Biedrins averaged 0.4ppg and 0.3rpg in 55 NBA games.
Latvian national team head coach Ainars Bagatskis has announced a 17-strong preliminary squad for EuroBasket 2013 which features the welcome return of the nation's NBA player. Golden State Warriors center Andris Biedrins, as well as VEF Riga guard Kristaps Janicenoks, who last suited up for the national team at EuroBasket 2009, are included on the list and poised to make their return in a Latvia jersey in September's big tournament in Slovenia. "I think that if Andris plays at the EuroBasket it will significantly strengthen our team and will also benefit his personal career," Bagatskis stated.
Once the marquee event of All-Star Weekend, the NBA's dunk contest has seen its popularity dip in recent seasons as superstars opt against participating and competitors increasingly rely on gimmicks instead of aerial artistry. Nevertheless, the contest is not without its charms. In the midst of a rather dull 2012 entry in Orlando, Utah Jazz big man Jeremy Evans wowed the crowd at least once on his way to the title. Evans is a great dunker, clearly, and it'd take a lot to beat him in any competition. Surprisingly, though, he was bested by Kristaps Dargais during a recent dunk contest appearance in Riga, Latvia.
Chase Budinger is of Latvian origin. His grandfather was born in Latvia but moved to the United States during World War II. "I know I have some Latvian blood, close relatives. Although I've never been there, the rest of my family did, they have visited the country," Budinger said in an interview to the Latvian media. "I've been too busy to go, but my brother just came from a visit to Latvia a month ago."
Emiliano Carchia: Da'Sean Butler agreed to terms to play in Europe during lockout. The player will land in Latvia. Still dont know which team
According to Sovsport, Andris Biedrins could have signed a contract with Latvian club VEF Riga, current champion of the Latvian League that will play in the next Euroleague.
Larry Riley on Andris Biedrins, who Riley clearly expects to have a bounce back season: "I just got off the phone with him [in Latvia], and before we hung up today, I told him, 'I can notice a difference in your voice.' It was noticeable. His excitement for the game is back. We have a program in place for him. He's working with people in regards to strength and conditioning, and as rules allow during the summer, we'll send an assistant coach [to Latvia] to work with him this summer

Mary Kay Mineral Powder Foundation Reviews
The best powder out there!!!I love this powder. I have used everything and this is by a landslide the best I have ever used. It doesn't look cakey but covers like you wouldn't believe. It also keeps my face from being shiny all day. The oil control lotion also helps. I LOVE MARY KAY PRODUCTS!!! Well worth the money! — 6 years, 11 months agolilangel | 1 reviews
so lightI have used Mary Kay's Mineral Foundation for about a month now and I really do like it. Yes I still have to use concealer under my eyes but other that that I like it. It is light, looks good at the end of the day and my face has not had the bad breakouts that I usually have. I am sold! — 6 years, 11 months agoJKNelson | 1 reviews

good value for the priceI think the price is even less than 18 without the brush. I dont really like the brush that it comes with i'll continue to use my other brushes but i do use this to finish after i apply a light foundation. this works great right on top of a little bit of foundation! best part is it helps my foundation stay put and gives me a finished look. I like to wear it alone with a bit a blush and i always ...read moreget compliments. the shade selection isn't extensive but i mix the 1 & 2 to get a perfect shade. all in all this is a winner in my book, great value, great price! — 6 years, 11 months agoclovester | 6 reviews

I love it!I have been using this for about 2 months now and love it. I never used to go out of the house without makeup on, and now I can go out of the house looking more natural. I have gotten many compliments about this powder and how I look more radiant when I use it. — 6 years, 11 months agomgoetsch | 5 reviews
Not all I thought it would be.I was expecting something really great with this foundation...but I have found it lacking. It has no real staying power and, quite frankly, any drug store powder would do the same job. I much prefer the wet to dry foundation by another company. Using it dry gives a much better cover and would be quicker too. — 6 years, 11 months agolorieroe | 1 reviews

I am so happy with this product!I recently switched from the liquid foundation and I love the new mineral powder. It taks less time to apply, is very fogiving, covers well and stays on all day long. — 6 years, 11 months agoSuzieQ40509 | 7 reviews
Not a true mineral foundationI sell Mary Kay, and I can honestly say this is NOT a true mineral foundation. Yes it has minerals in it, but it also contains talc, which causes powders to look cakey and dry and flake off. The foundation is a few dollars cheaper than Bare Minerals, but you have less shade choices, the brush is TERRIBLE and again, it contains talc. I still use this one occassion if I want a quick "dusting ...read moreover", but to use more than one dusting makes me look cakey, and isn't the whole point of the mineral makeup craze to be able to build coverage and look natural? — 6 years, 11 months agoPrdctJunkie | 23 reviews

Nothing to complain about...I like this product because it's light. This also means that you have to "build" it on in layers if you want a lot of coverage. Doesn't clog pores and passes the "float in water" test showing it's REAL mineral makeup. — 6 years, 11 months agocajsaj | 7 reviews

Mary Kay Mineral Powder FoundationLightweight and easy to apply. I used this in addition to my regular foundation. For the summer I use liquid foundation under eyes, around and on nose and basically just in the t zone. I used the powder all over the rest of my face for a lighter and easier summer option. A little of this goes a long way and blends so naturally with my skin tone. This is an easy to use product and is great for all skin types and all ages. I did notice some slight rub off when trying on clothes though. — 7 years agoconsultant | 1 reviews

About TRAC
Created by The Beacham Group, LLC, Terrorism Research & Analysis Consortium (TRAC) is a uniquely comprehensive resource for the study of political violence of all kinds. In cooperation with a team of 2800 experts, TRAC gathers the best information for exploration of this topic by faculty, scholars, students, government and defense professionals, as well as the general public.
Sign Up For Free TRAC Briefings (Newsletter)
TRAC provides researchers in the fields of terrorism studies, political science, international relations, sociology, criminal justice, philosophy and history with content that enables intellectual clarity on a highly complex topic.
TRAC resources include:
- Core analyses of 3,800 groups that have been known to aid and abet political violence or terrorist organizations. One of the world's largest databases of terrorist groups, their leaders, locations, and affiliations, TRAC includes hate/racist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan, lone wolves such as Timothy McVeigh, groups such as al-Qaeda and government counterterrorism campaigns. Each profile includes (when known) the group's tactics, targets, ideology, associated groups, leaders, theater of operation, links to other resources, and links to TRAC's analyses. Images are included with the profile often feature the group's flag or logo; its founder or leader; incidents and events associated with the group (plus the flag of the location where the event occurred; flag of the country where the group operates; and an image that visually the group's activities.
- Original, commissioned analyses of seminal terrorism topics. These in-depth essays cover important terrorism issues such as Gender and Terrorism, Quranic Understandings of Violent Jihad to Vulnerable Cities, and Urban Terrorism
- Profiles of vulnerable regions and cities mostly likely to attract terrorist incidents. This includes links to the Failed States Index and TRAC's profile of threatened countries.
- Live intelligence repository: TRAC provides a publishing center for research of any length produced by its members. Plus, contributors, reporters and consortium members can post stories and have them immediately disbursed throughout the network
- Chatter control: TRAC continuously monitors important news and analysis sources and posts feeds to the site as events unfold
- Hot links that quickly navigate between concepts within articles, news feeds, and outside resources
- Access to political violence experts worldwide
- And hundreds of internet links to think tanks; government agencies; universities, community colleges and police academies offering courses in terrorism, criminal justice, and homeland security; government and private research centers
Using TRAC
With over 6,000 (and expanding) web pages of information, 3,800 group profiles, and 2,800 consortium members, TRAC provides many ways to easily access information.
Universal Search
The "Search" box that appears at the top and bottom of every page allows you to search the entire database (articles, groups, chatter) for specific names or words. However, unlike Google, TRAC returns exact matches (including punctuation) and does not suggest alternative spellings, so TRAC has included as many combinations of group name spellings as possible. If Universal Search does not return your group, select the "Groups" button from the menu bar and scroll through the list.
At the top of each screen the menu bar lists:
Ideology, Targets, Tactics, Vulnerable Regions, Groups, Chatter Control, Resources, Consortium Center, About.
Ideology, Targets and Tactics
Once you select any of these buttons, an alphabetical list of articles appears, much like a table of contents in a book. Select the "More" button at the bottom of the page to load the next 25 articles, or "View As List" to see the titles of articles in this category. You may filter by author or by groups. For example if you want to read articles that focus on Hamas' ideologies, select the "filter by associated groups," scroll down to Hamas and select the "Apply" button.
Article Pages
Once you have selected an article you wish to read, you will be taken to the introductory page. (Every article is formatted the same way for intuitive navigation.) The Table of Contents (right column) highlights (bold) the chapter you are reading. You may either read page by page by selecting the "Next" button at the bottom of the page or jump directly to any chapter by selecting the chapter title within the Table of Contents. You may also select "View All Associated Groups" associated with each article. For example, all known groups who practice suicide bombings will show up in the article on Suicide Missions. Notice the "Print" and "Cite the Page" buttons for easy printing and referencing. For citations, hit the button and simply copy and paste into your bibliography. Within the Table of Contents are associated activities (current and archived news), and primary resource material associated with that topic.
Vulnerable Regions
When you select "Vulnerable Regions," you are taken to a page with every country's flag. You can scroll through the countries (select "Load More"). Or you can view a list of the countries by selecting "View as List". When you select the country you are researching, TRAC take you to a landing page listing specific vulnerable cities, threat assessments, associated articles, and every known terrorist group with areas of operation in that country. To the right of the page is an interactive geo-map that can zoom in or out of the region. Underneath the geo-map is a list of the most current news stories associated with that region. If additional news or articles have been archived, you may select the "More" button to see all the archived blogs, news stories, and incident reports for that region. Underneath the list of vulnerable cities (not yet linked to analyses) is the link for the detailed regional threat assessment. Selecting the "Read More" button takes you to the threat assessment analysis that includes counter measures and prognosis - completely crossed referenced to associated TRAC articles.
When you select the "Groups" button on the menu bar, you are taken to an alphabetical list of over 3,800 current and historical (20th century) terrorist groups. You may search for specific groups by selecting a letter of the alphabet ("Name Starts With") or "View as List". However, viewing as summary allows the researcher to filter by multiple topics, vastly facilitating research needs. For example, if you wanted to find groups that use arson as a tactic in Greece, TRAC easily filters through the enormous list to show the viewer only the groups that fall under these two categories. At the side of the group's name are possible misspellings -- no more guessing if al Shabaab is the same group as Al Shabab or Hizbul Shabaab. TRAC also ranks the groups by their activity so that the most active groups appear in each list first. You can filter through many combinations to find groups that meet your criteria.
Individual Group Pages
Each group page begins with an icon or flag of that group when available; otherwise there is an image of an incident or flag of the region where the group has operated. Below the image are possible alternative known spellings and aliases, as well as the status of the group and when it was first "known to exist." Other data about the group are listed below. Select the highlighted article titles to link directly to a TRAC Analysis, Associate Groups, Internet Resources, and news feeds. The "Associated Groups" section at the bottom of the page is extremely useful for researching how groups are connected. Underneath the geo-map are hot links to the Vulnerable Region pages associated with that group. If there are current associated activities (news, blogs, and incident reports) or Primary Resources associated with the group, they will appear beneath the geo-map.
Chatter Control
TRAC is continually updated with the most current terrorism "news" of the day - sorted from newest to oldest. Chatter Control "news" comes for numerous sources: well known international news organizations, regional newspapers, blogs, think tank releases, terrorist group communiqués and under the radar commentary. As with group profiles Chatter Control is readily sortable by multiple categories under "filter by associated articles", allowing the researcher to pull from current and archival information by dates. TRAC does not evaluate or verify the contents of the news stories but endeavors to select the stories from "reliable sources" that are most relevant to studying terrorism.
TRAC has assembled many types of outside resources for the researcher to further pursue topics from other perspectives. Hundreds of Universities, Think Tanks, and Databases worldwide are cataloged and readily sortable.
TRAC's consortium and forum are for professionals in the intelligence community to communicate with each other. Members of the Consortium can be filtered by the regions in which they operate or are specialists.
Publishing Center
TRAC's publishing center provides an opportunity for professionals to publish their material to a worldwide audience. TRAC's review board approves topics that are not part of the commissioned core group of articles - to allow for maximum coverage of the constantly fluid topic of terrorism.
File a Story / Contribute Content
In the upper right corner of every page is "File a Story". TRAC encourages everyone on the ground in terrorism hotspots to report on current activities in their region. Select this button, file your story, and it will be sent to us for immediate posting. In the right column for every article and group page is a "Submit Additions? button. You can suggest additions or corrections to existing material for our review board to evaluate. If you want to contribute a new article or group profile, contact Veryan Khan at [email protected] or go to "Publishing Center" "Become a Contributor
Groups and individuals included in TRAC's database range from actual perpetrators of social or political violence to more passive groups that support or condone (perhaps unwittingly) such violence. The spectrum of violence represented by these groups is vast, from Jihadists who bomb train stations to financial institutions that transfer funds. Some groups that originally engaged in violence but have since become legitimate political parties are included to provide historical perspective. TRAC is in no way attempting to determine whether groups or individuals are terrorists -- only to convey reported information about their activities and official State status. While TRAC attempts to ensure the accuracy of its TRAC database, the entries in the database are from numerous different sources. Hence, TRAC cannot and does not warrant the accuracy of the entries in its database. The editors of TRAC may modify these entries at any time and welcome comments and suggested corrections or additions. Please write [email protected] or hit the "Add Additions" button on the page of the group profile about which you wish to comment.
Who's behind TRAC
TRAC's consortium of 2,800 experts live in and report from terrorism hotspots worldwide, including Russia, Poland, Egypt, Lebanon, Israel, India, Pakistan, Singapore, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Philippines, Australia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, Serbia, Brussels, Sweden, Italy, Greece, United Kingdom, Canada, and United States. If you reside in a terrorism hotspot, or have a particular interest/expertise in political violence and would like to become a consortium member, contact Veryan Khan at [email protected]
The Beacham Group
Throughout TRAC's development, the Beacham Group sought the input and assessment of leading scholars to ensure its primary goal of helping researchers locate the most appropriate and efficient resources available, a publishing model that has been connecting people with authoritative information since 1985. Founded as Beacham Publishing, the company's acclaimed titles span the impact of climate change with Beacham's Guide to Endangered Species and Beacham's Guide to Environmental Issues to topical issues in literature to important societal concerns with The Encyclopedia of Social Change.

New Scientist caught up with husband-and-wife writing team David Barash and Judith Eve Lipton to discuss their latest book, Strange Bedfellows: The surprising connection between sex, evolution and monogamy. We ask them what we can learn about monogamy from other species, and how writing a book about monogamy affected their own marriage.
Your last book, The Myth of Monogamy (W. H. Freeman, 2001) talked about the rarity of monogamy in nature. What made you decide to write another book on the subject?
David: Intellectual honesty or a scientific balancing of the scales if you will. Myth of Monogamy was looking at the glass half empty, at the problems that biology poses for monogamy, but we were aware that monogamy, for all its difficulties, does happen. It happens in animals, it happens in humans. We didn't want to give the impression that it's impossible.
Judith: There were both scientific and personal reasons. We thought it was important to point out that the promiscuous behaviour we were describing in ducks, for example, doesn't necessarily hold for people. David and I have been married and monogamous since 1977.
There are different kinds of monogamy – for instance, there's a tapeworm that has only one partner until it dies. That's extremely unusual, but there are other forms of monogamy that are more common, like us! We were each married before and have had other sexual partners, but have been monogamous in our own marriage.
Strange Bedfellows is dedicated to David's parents who were married for 64 years. They were joined at the hip; they had only spent a total of 3 nights apart until his father developed colon cancer and was in the hospital.
David: It is not an advice book as such, but the issue of advice looms not too far in the background. There are people who want to be monogamous but worry that it may be impossible. To some extent the book is written for those people.
So is monogamy "unnatural"?
Judith: Monogamy is rather like playing the violin. Doing it well is difficult and takes a lot of work, but it's not impossible. And some people would argue it has real social value.
David: We can't ever totally transcend our biology. If playing the violin was totally beyond our biological capabilities, it just couldn't happen. The same goes for monogamy. In order to be monogamous one has to be willing to swim upstream against certain biological impulses, but there is also a biological push in favour of monogamy, especially when it comes to parenting.
Judith: Also when it comes to ageing. People are living longer than ever now, and as you grow past the age of courtship and mating, into the age of disability, picking up prescriptions and dealing with Medicare, sexual diversity is less important and having a good buddy is more important.
The way we look at mating changes when we think about people who are becoming more infirm and less motivated by fresh partners. The miracle of monogamy is the potential for long-term cooperative friendships that transcend mating desires.
David: We have horses here – you can hear them neighing in the background. This morning Judy fed them and tonight I will, and our collaboration is what it allows us to keep horses. That's true in the animal world as well. In many cases of natural monogamy, part of the payoff has to do, not just with old age or parenting, but with maintaining stuff.
Judith: That's why beavers are interesting. They are mostly monogamous because they share a lot of work, between making their dams and doing collaborative housekeeping.
David: There are other beavers who would love to take advantage of the work they put in. So, by having cooperative long-lasting relationships between adults, they can do value-added estate planning to maintain and defend their stuff against others.
Is that kind of monogamous setup more or less effective than the strategies of species like ants or bees, who work as a whole colony to protect their resources?
David: It works differently for different species. In ant colonies, the queen is the only one who reproduces and an individual worker is not disadvantaged when someone else does the reproducing.
For humans and other mammals, it's not in our interest to let someone else do the reproducing. So one way to do it is to be monogamous. And if you're monogamous, you're paying a price by sacrificing other reproductive opportunities.
Judith: In the 1960s scientists began to ask, why do bees cooperate? And it came down to a matter of sharing genes at a level that's very different than mammals and other insects.
The study of the social insect triggered the gene's-eye view of evolution. You can't really say the bees are not monogamous, because only the queen flies up and mates, and all her sisters don't mate because it's not in their advantage genetically.

Big oil plans for cleanup after frequent spills
Janelle Irwin
WMNF Drive-Time News Thursday | Listen to this entire show:
Tags: BP, oil spill, Deepwater Horizon, environment, drilling, Oil, fossil fuels, Gulf of Mexico
Oil industry professionals are learning about new technologies for spill prevention and response. A conference hosting big oil and companies that respond to spills is going on at the Tampa Convention Center this week.
The hundreds of people attending the three-day conference are also taking it as an opportunity to network with other companies. Gwen Keenan is the director of emergency response for the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
Theres a very robust and mature process for oil spill response that actually grew from the Exxon-Valdese incident. So, it kind of brings us together to review all those plans and processes, probably more importantly, it builds the relationships between the people that respond in crisis and if you spend any time in the emergency management community, people always say that the time to exchange business cards is not in the middle of a disaster.
An outsider walking into one of the many sessions would need a sizable manual to navigate the alphabet soup that is the oil industry. Theres NRDA the letters N, R, D, A which stand for National Resource Damage Assessment. Oil Spill Response is OSR. Then theres BSSE, or Bessie thats the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement. That group, along with many others, partners with state and local groups to develop plans for oil spill mitigation. Keenan said having local stakeholders contribute to response plans helps make sure that the unique needs of different areas are met.
so that if there was ever a spill in any geographic area throughout Florida, there is a pre-made plan for the priority. The boom would be set and the protective actions that would be taken to try to prevent damage to the environment.
Florida doesnt have drilling in state waters, but that doesnt keep the state safe from impacts of spills from other rigs. States that do have offshore drilling, like Texas and Louisiana are required to have action plans just in case and Keenan said Florida still gets to have a seat at the table when those contingencies are put together.
So, we get the opportunity to look at those to ensure that we think that their plan is adequate, to make sure that they address environmental concerns we have whether its sensitive off shore fishing areas, reefs, protected species.
As all five Gulf Coast states gear up to collect their portion of money allocated as a result of the 2010 BP oil spill, that disaster remains the most prominent example of what can go wrong. Thursday the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation announced the five states are getting $113 million as the first chunk of $2.5 billion that BP and Transocean were fined as a result of criminal pleas. Florida is getting nearly $15.7 million toward projects like Apalachicola Bay oyster restoration, eliminating light pollution on sea turtle nesting beaches and recovery of Gulf fisheries. But its not just large spills that attract media attention that have to be addressed. During an early morning session updating industry leaders on whats going on in the oil world, representatives from each Gulf state had at least one example of an ongoing cleanup effort. Jonathan Henderson is with the Gulf Restoration Network. His job is to look for and report new spills. During a phone interview this week, he said every time hes been out looking, hes found something.
Theres a platform that sank during Hurricane Ivan in 2004 owned by Taylor Energy Co. that had several wells connected to it and the storm completely destroyed the platform, sank it to the sea floor and the wells are still leaking to this day. You could go over there right now just off the coast of Louisiana and youll see an oil sheen thats been going on since 2004 and its not tiny.
The Florida DEPs Keenan said smaller spills, mostly on land, are what her agency spends the most time on their bread and butter she called it. But hers isnt the only group that tends to spills. The Coast Guard does. So too does the EPA. And, of course the company responsible for the spill is required to foot the bill and make sure to clean up their messes. But she said some oil mystery spills are harder to take care of.
We do track those and if theres one that, you know, well see a small sheen, but you cant track it down to a source, but its repetitive in an area, that would lead us to indicate potentially a submerged tank or something. Well pursue that to the best of our ability to see if we can find whether its an abandoned drum and then well go through the appropriate processes to try to remove it.
Workers with oil spill response teams are also getting updates on the use of dispersants. Thursday a group of about 60 industry leaders looked at using the chemicals under water at the source of an oil leak. The chemicals break up oil to avoid large slicks on the surface of the water. But critics worry about the impacts of the chemicals on marine ecosystems. Gulf Restoration Networks Henderson said his group along with several others filed a lawsuit in 2011 that is still pending asking for new rules testing dispersants for their safety in various different geographical locations.
All of the different types of dispersants that are on the list that could be potentially used in the Gulf or in any other federal water bodies need to be tested to see what effects they will have on the environment and marine animals and that hasnt been done so thats why this lawsuit is very, very important.
Keenan, with the DEP, said her agency has not done any testing like Henderson described, but other groups have. The American Petroleum Institute is getting ready to launch their own research on the effects of dispersants. So far what theyve found is that by using the chemical under water, it allows the solvent portion of the mixture to be reduced. Industry researchers claim that makes the dispersant less toxic. Even still, Keenan said there is a vetting process that takes place before a company can use dispersants.
I know that as an agency that we are very sensitive about when we would use them and its always a consideration that they would only be used when the potential damage of incoming pollutant is higher than the potential threat for the applied dispersant.
The conference is also hosting some international stakeholders from Caribbean nations and even Cuba to look at how to partner with other countries that also share the Gulf. Cuba has been sinking exploratory wells looking for oil in its waters. Keenan said that push and others like it have rallied international collaboration.
I think its a very robust process. Theres always opportunities to improve, but I think the continuous expansion into deeper water exploration and drilling has really brought the overall oil spill response community into much closer working relationships both nationally and internationally.
Other sessions during the conference addressed responding to wildlife in a spill scenario, well containment and regulatory challenges in the community. The Clean Gulf Conference is held annually. It will be in San Antonio, Texas next December.

Kismayo — More details are coming from the southern port of Kismayo where Somali government forces and fighters from Ras Kamboni fought yesterday.
Eyewitnesses in Kismayo, who spoke to Shabelle but want their names used in the media because of security reasons, say that the fighting broke out when fighters from Ras kamboni militias attacked a a checkpoint manned by Somali national army.
The eyewitnesses say that the Somali national army who under attack by Ras kamboni militias defended their position by killing two of the assailants before the fighting intensified later with the deployment of battle wagon technicals.
Eight persons confirmed are died including civilians caught in the crossfire.
Somali national are reported to be in control of the area where the fighting occurred while the other group has been forced out of the area.
Ras kamboni are militias led by Ahmed Madobe, a former warlord who was initially in the Islamic courts union and fighters of the group were once allied with Alshabab before they turned their guns on each other and it later switched to the Somali government as allies against Alshabab.
Kismayo, which was the last bastion of Alshabab, is under the control of coalition forces from the African union particularly contingents from Kenya, the Somali national and those of Ras kamboni.

Elk of North America, Ecology and Management
by Jack Ward Thomas and Dale E. Toweill
One of the first well-known major publications by Jack Ward Thomas, this book is often referred to by serious elk hunters as the "elk bible." A Wildlife Management Institute book, the 698-page hardcover edition was published in 1982 by Stackpole Books. It's somewhat rare and difficult to find now, and is not usually available in new condition.
Fortunately, the book has been updated and re-issued -- see below.
Founded in 1911, the Wildlife Management Institute is a private, nonprofit, scientific and educational organization dedicated to the conservation, enhancement, and professional management of North America's wildlife and other natural resources.
North American Elk: Ecology and Management
Edited by Dale E. Toweill and Jack Ward Thomas
Illustrated by Daniel P. Metz
This 962-page book, published in 2002, was honored with The Wildlife Society's Editorship Book Award for 2003. The 1982 version of this book (Elk of North America, above) was praised as "surely the finest book ever written about a single species." This new edition, with 85 percent new material, includes material from contributors from the U.S. and Canada. The enormous book comprises an extraordinary volume of research data, management experience, and professional insight.
The book contains up-to-date information on elk behavior, physiology, migration, taxonomy, and management. Full chapters are devoted to distribution, nutrition and food, diseases and parasites, ecosystem management, hunting, the regulation of hunting, and the historical relationship between Native Americans and elk. The editors conclude with a thorough discussion of the future of elk and their management.
Two appendices provide common and scientific names of plants and animals cited, and the book is illustrated with drawings, tables, more than 550 black and white photographs, and a 16-page section of color photographs. The book's original artwork has been provided again by Daniel P. Metz.
The book all but disappeared several years ago when its publisher, Smithsonian Institution Press, went under. The Wildlife Management Institute acquired the lost (warehoused) inventory and regained full rights to the work. Originally selling for $85.00, North American Elk: Ecology and Management now can be purchased for $42.50 (a 50 percent discount) for as long as the first-edition, first-printing inventory remains.
Journals of a Forest Service Chief
By Jack Ward Thomas
May 2004 Amazon review: In the summer of 1986, Jack Ward Thomas began keeping a journal. "This will be a journal of random thoughts," he wrote. "My purpose is unknown to me, but I feel a compulsion to begin. Perhaps it will serve as a tickler of memory for the book I intend to write, but of course never will."
This first book from Jack Ward Thomas is sure to open the eyes of those who think they know how policy and management decisions affecting the nation's forests are made. Though Thomas has authored well over 400 publications, mostly on wildlife conservation, perhaps the most valuable thing he's written is the set of journals he started eighteen years ago - the book he intended to write.
As Chief of the Forest Service, Thomas is quick to give credit to those he respects, particularly his agency employees in the field. But he doesn't shy from battle, and his assessments of some political appointees in Washington and certain members of Congress are brutal.
Thomas was drafted into the chief's job shortly after Clinton took office, and he took the helm of the agency with typical fortitude - and the naiveté of a researcher thrust into the political cauldron that is Washington DC. "We don't just manage land," he wrote, "we're supposed to be leaders. Conservation leaders. Leaders in protecting and improving the land."
Statements like that surprised some of the people in Washington, but certainly didn't surprise his longtime friends and colleagues. Thomas had been talking about and writing about conservation for most of his life. And the cream of that conservation writing is in his journals.
This book offers not only insight into the mind and heart of a naturalist, but also a perspective on the politics of natural resource management through the eyes of one of this country's finest conservationists. His writings clarify many of the environmental issues we face today: protecting obscure but endangered species, dealing with wildfire and wildfire fatalities, balancing resource needs against the need to preserve, and the development of policies to address forest health. This book's a treasure, and will be a valuable addition to the collections of those who care about natural resources management.
"This is a priceless chronicle of a pivotal period in the history of U.S. forest policy, seen through the unblinking eyes of a central player and candid observer." ~ Al Sample, president, Pinchot Institute for Conservation, Washington, D.C.
Wildlife Habitats in Managed Forests: The Blue Mountains of Oregon and Washington
Jack Ward Thomas, Technical Editor
Our national forests are one of the last remaining natural habitats for terrestrial wildlife. Much of this vast forest resource has changed dramatically in the last 200 years and can no longer be considered wild. It is now managed for multiple use benefits, including timber production. Timber harvesting and roadbuilding now alter wildlife habitat more than any other forest management activity. In recent years public forest managers have had to account more completely for the impacts of their activities on wildlife, and federal laws and other legislation have set forth specific responsibilities for protection and enhancement of wildlife habitats in managed forests. This publication is designed to help forest managers deal more effectively with these new responsibilities.
The setting is the Blue Mountains of Oregon and Washington, but it could be anywhere in North America where coniferous forests are a dominant part of the landscape and where public ownership of forest land is extensive. Although the setting is geographically narrow, the general concepts, principles, and practices are applicable to forest management throughout the country.
The book has three purposes: (1) to develop a common understanding among resource specialists about wildlife habitats in managed forests, (2) to provide a system to predict the impact of forest management practices on wildlife, and (3) to show how the system can be applied to a specific area -- in this case, the Blue Mountains.

Nadine Salmon, MSN, BSN, IBCLC, Clinical Content Manager AMN HealthcareA focused neurological assessment of your patient can make a difference between life and death, permanent disability or complete recovery. It is a key standard of care for all patients. Yet many nurses fear the neuro exam unnecessarily. RN.com offers you an easy and manageable guide to performing a neurological exam with ease!The purpose of a neurological assessment is to detect neurological disease or injury in your patient, monitor its progression to determine the type of care you'll provide, and gauge the patient's response to your interventions (Noah, 2004). Performing a neurological assessment early is important in establishing a baseline for later comparison (Anness & Tirone, 2009).The initial evaluation is usually a comprehensive examination covering several critical areas of assessment, including level of consciousness (LOC), orientation, speech, facial symmetry, motor and sensory function and reflex activity. Assessment of cranial nerve function, cerebellar function and reflex activity are covered in a comprehensive neurological assessment. Before beginning a focused neurological assessment, evaluation of the patient's vital signs should be conducted, as current or progressive injury to the brain and brain stem may make vital signs unstable, which could reduce neurologic responses. It is best to conduct the neuro assessment at a time when vital signs are relatively stable (Anness & Tirone, 2009).Evaluation of LOC is the most important part of the neuro exam, as a change is usually the first indication of a declining status (Noah, 2004). The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is a valuable tool for recording the conscious state of a person, and is based on three patient responses: Eye opening, motor and verbal response. The total score will range from 3 (coma) to 15 (fully conscious, alert and oriented). A score of 8 or lower usually indicates coma (CDC, 2013). Although the GCS was initially used to assess LOC after head injury, it was not designed to be used for patients who are intubated, as the verbal component of the score cannot be accurately assessed. In documenting the GCS score for intubated patients, a notation of the patient's intubation can be included as a narrative note to facilitate accurate interpretation of the GCS scores (Matis & Birbilis, 2008).In addition to performing the GCS, assessment of your patient's pupil size, shape and equality before and after exposure to light is an integral part of a neurological exam. The PERRLA (Pupils Equal, Round, React to Light and Accommodation) acronym is a useful tool to use. A change in pupillary response, such as unequal or dilated pupils can provide a warning sign of increasing intracranial pressure (ICP) (Anness & Tirone, 2009).A bedside neuro assessment almost always includes an evaluation of motor and sensory function, but requires the patient to be cooperative and oriented. To assess motor response in a comatose patient, apply a painful or other noxious stimulus to a central part of the body, such as trapezius muscle squeezing, or application of supraorbital pressure. Then observe for specific motor responses, as specified in the GCS, such as flexion (decorticate posturing) or extension motor responses (decerebrate posturing) (Anness & Tirone, 2009).The Focused Neurological Assessment course is a part of the Assessment Series on RN.com. The course provides a comprehensive review of additional motor and sensory function tests, as well as cranial nerve testing.Once an initial, thorough assessment is conducted (on admission or at the beginning of each shift), subsequent assessments should be problem-focused, zeroing-in on the parts of the nervous system affected by the patient's condition (Noah, 2004). Although the comprehensive neurological exam can be complex, it is essential to the diagnosis and treatment of a wide variety of neurological conditions. With practice and repetition you will hone this essential, life-saving skill (Anness & Tirone, 2009).The American Stroke Association (ASA) offers healthcare professionals a wide array of resources for assessing and managing stroke. Find National stroke guidelines, patient educational materials and NIH Stroke Scale Training online at the American Stroke Association. Other assessment tools include the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Stroke Scale (PDF) and The Internet Stroke Center's Stroke Assessment Scales. Check your facility's policies and procedures to identify the most appropriate tool to use on your particular unit.References:American Stroke Association. (2013).

Nigeria has been projected to rank 13th among the world's top 20 economies by 2050, given its potentials.
According to a report titled: "World in 2050," published by PwC's macroeconomics team, Nigeria and other emerging economies, including Vietnam, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, China, Saudi Arabia and South Africa are set to grow much faster than the G7 countries - France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada over the next four decades.
The report noted that with a projected Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of nearly $4 trillion by 2050 and an annual average real GDP growth rate of about 6 per cent, as well as a youthful and growing working population, Nigeria is projected to rank among the world's largest economies by 2050 if it can realise its full potential.
The report stated that a growing, prime working age population, together with rising average rates of schooling and technological progress, drive Nigeria's strong growth prospects.
But the report's projections relied on the country using its oil wealth to develop a broader-based economy with better infrastructure and institutions - regarding rule of law and political governance - which will support long term productivity growth.
A partner with PwC Nigeria, Andrew S. Nevin, said: "Nigeria's projections for population, education levels and technological progress are very strong. Nigeria lags behind with regard to its investment rate, however. Productivity is lower in Nigeria due to weaker infrastructure and institutions, as well as an over-reliance on oil revenues. By investing in these areas and diversifying its economy, Nigeria can realise its full potential by 2050.
"Over the past decade, the private sector has played an enormously positive role in sectors like telecoms, retail and financial services in Nigeria and throughout Africa.
"For Nigeria to realise its potential, it is going to require governments at the state and federal levels to play their roles in fostering the right type of environment, including improvements in the rule of law, greater transparency and strengthening of the health and education systems, and enabling the development of key sectors, with power being the most important. Many strides have been made in this regard and they need to keep coming."
Also, PwC Chief Economist and co-author of the report, John Hawksworth, noted: "The shift in the global economic centre of gravity is clear. The E7 (seven emerging economies) could overtake the G7 before 2020, and by 2050 China, the US and India could be by far the largest economies - with a big gap to Brazil in fourth place, ahead of Japan. By the same time, Russia, Mexico and Indonesia could be bigger than Germany or the UK; Turkey could overtake Italy; and Nigeria could rise up the league table, as could Vietnam and South Africa in the longer term.
"There are huge opportunities for Western companies in the emerging markets - but also great competitive challenges from fast-growing emerging market companies. Governments also face huge challenges, not least in relation to global warming as a result of this rapid pace of economic development."
The report listed growth estimates as driven by: growth in the labour force, as proxied by UN projections for working age population; growth in the quality of labour, which is assumed to be related to current and projected average education levels in the workforce; growth in the physical capital stock, which is determined by new capital investment less depreciation of the existing capital stock; and technological progress, which drives improvement in total factor of productivity.a
