This unit in Australian Studies takes a long historical and broad geographical view of Australia. From the age of European expansion and "discovery", the unit considers some key moments in Australia's history – its convict foundation, the battles for territory between settlers and the indigenous population, the gold rushes, Federation, depression, war and reconstruction, the Whitlam era of reform to the resurgence of conservatism – and interconnects these to some vital spaces. Thus the unit will examine how indigenous land uses were replaced by different forms of agriculture in the 19th century, defying many of the environmental realities of the continent, how Melbourne became one of the great Victorian cities in the 1880s, how the suburbs emerged along with the citadels of 1960s consumerism, the regional shopping centre, the indigenous struggle for territorial autonomy and the dilemmas of remote indigenous communities and how different parts of Australia engaged with a more globalised world in the latter part of the 20th century. Along with these transformations of space over time, went different visions of Australia – as a yeoman democracy, as the workingman's paradise, as the suburban dream, the lucky country and as a reconciled land of diversity. How and why these changes occurred will be explored through classes, readings, field work and online in a rich mix of text, visual materials and applied learnings.

WILLIAMSON - A local watering hole has been cited for serving alcohol to underage partons, and faces a fine and temporary closure.
According to West Virginia Alcohol Beverage Control Administration spokesperson Gig Robinson, an undercover investigation was conducted at Cheers Bar & Grill in West Williamson in April.
Robinson said Cheers was fined $550 for serving alcohol to minors, and will be closed for three days, from 7 a.m. June 6 until 1 p.m. June 9.
The WVABCA website lists the license for Cheers as belonging to Patrick Staten.
Robinson said the time lapse between when the violation occurred and the fine and suspension being enforced is part of the process.
"The commmsion conducted the undercover operation in April," he told the Daily News. "After a violation is submitted, the Commission looks at the past history of the license and other factors before they act, it is part of due process."
Anderson said he was unaware if there were other operations in April. The Daily News will provide information about WVABCA operations as it becomes available.

Cal State Northridge men's and women's cross country open the 2010 season this Saturday, Sept. 11 as 14 Matador women and 11 Matador men will compete at the Asics/UC Irvine Cross Country Invitational.
The meet will be held at the Anteater Recreation Center Field on the UCI campus.
The Matador women's squad on Saturday will consist of returners: Vanessa Carr, Yvonne Castillo-Urbina, Mallory Day, Ariana Gomez, Rebecca Huffman, Desiree Karotko, Zitlalic Ley, Jazmin Martinez, Lilyana Morejon, Ana Rosales and Natalie Wollaston.
New to the women's squad in 2010 are: Fany Alvarado, Kristy Burkey and Araceli Zainos.
The men's squad returns Daniel Garcia, Eddie Garcia, Marvin Gonzales, Masis Hagobian, Hunter Hays, Gustavo Hernandez, Tawei Ma, Juan Olea and Miguel Galvez.
New to the men's squad and running this weekend are: Omar Alvarado and Michael McEvoy.
The Matador women finished seventh at the Big West Cross Country Championship last season led by Morejon's third-place finish. Ley also was a factor in her first season running for the Matadors as she placed 38th at the conference championship.
The Northridge men finished eighth in 2009 while Olea was the Matadors' top distance runner finishing 42nd at the Big West Championship.
Morejon and Olea advance to the 2009 NCAA West Regional in Springfield, Ore., where Morejon finished 50th in 22:10.20 and Olea was 140th in 34:11.70.
In the 2010 Big West Coaches Preseason Poll, the Northridge women were picked to finish eighth with 20 points while the men were picked to finish eighth with eight points.
UC Santa Barbara was predicted to win the women's cross country title while the Cal Poly men were selected to capture the crown.

Comments about Magnetic Nut Holder:
I tried to use this product to help install a nut on a bolt going through the bed cap on my pickup. The nut repeatedly fell off, and I gave up and did it by hand and contortion. I was using a standard size 3/8 inch nut with a standard size open end wrench. I conclude this is a space taker in the toolbox. I will keep it and maybe it will work in some isolated solution, but I am not counting on it as a regularly used tool.

Dear Dr. Cawich,
Allegra and I cannot begin to thank you for all the special care you afforded her during her brief stay at Belize Medical Associates.
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
On December 23rd, 2010 our wife/mother unfortunately got very sick on our Caribbean dreamtrip.
Dear Dr. Musa and Staff,
Dear Staff,
I am writing to express my heartfelt thanks for all the quality expertise and service received while in critical care at the Belize Medical Associates in May 2009.
Greetings Dr. Cuellar,
On Monday I saw my regular doctor, she was very impressed with my care in Belize. I was told that I was okay and do not have to come back.
Dear Friends,
I would like to sincerely thank the entire staff of Belize Medical Associates Hospital for taking such a good care of me during my recent stay.
Dr. Cawich,
Almost a year has passed since I was treated by you at your hospital in Belize. At the time I was on the Carnival Cruise Ship Glory and sent to your hospital with pneumonia.
Hi Dr. Gough,
You saved our mom and we will be forever greatful for that. My mom said that she would one day like to come to Belize to see you in person and to also give her thanks and gratitude!

TOV Studio PhotographyRead MoreA bride and groom recline on a dock, the white of her gown complementing the pale horizon, which slowly fades into blue. A ballerina stands en pointe in a window, the sun illuminating the delicate tulle of her tutu. A couple sits cross-legged in a library, the leaning books on the shelves mirroring their backs as they lean in to kiss. A newborn sleeps in a nest of textiles, the lace and linen standing out against the baby's smooth skin. TOV Studio Photography's skilled photographers, each of whom has more than a decade's worth of photo shoots under their belt, understand how to use the everyday world around them—from the sky to the sidewalk—to create images that feel as unique as their subjects. Outdoor shoots use architecture and elements of nature to frame newlyweds, families, and graduating seniors, using the natural light to emphasize the happy glow in a couple's eyes or the pristine white of a bride's not-yet-grass-stained gown. It's not all indoors, though—in the comfortable confines of the studio, photographers create custom backgrounds that bestow a similar, tree-free kind of individuality.3226 E Colonial DrOrlando, FL US

Should Apple Enable DVD Ripping in iTunes?
iTunes can rip a CD and make the tracks rapidly available for you to listen to on your iPhone (or iPod) or stream around your house via other computers, or AppleTV/Airtunes and a variety of third party products.
ZDNet thinks they should do the same with DVDs. Unfortunately, it's not that easy. Why? While ripping CDs is legal in the US, ripping DVDs is not and Hollywood and Big Media would do their best to sue any product, iTunes included, into oblivion if put that feature in. In fact, that's what they're doing with Real's RealDVD right now. This is based on the claim that it violates the DMCA by breaking copy protection, though Real wraps copy protection of their own around the ripped movies).
Apple, of course, has $30 billion in the bank, which could fund one heckuva legal battle (and maybe even get the EFF on their side?) If anyone is in the position to help consumers retain fair use of their media, and increase the functionality and appeal of their own product at the same time, it's certainly Apple.
But would they spend their time and money litigating the right to rip content from old, legacy media when they're busily trying to get people to embrace digital downloads of the same content as the "next big thing"? Should they?
For consumers, it would be the same win as letting iTunes rip CDs even as music downloads were coming online. Apple maintains they run iTunes at low-profit levels simply to fuel hardware sales. The same model holds true for DVDs. Some consumers have huge collections of legacy DVDs and would love nothing more than easily, officially, load them up into iTunes and sync them over to their iPhone, iPod, set top box, computer, etc. alongside new digital downloads.
Of course, savvy consumers are already doing this with free, third party programs, and perhaps Apple is happy enough with the status quo. It's less expensive for them that way, and doesn't offend the same media companies Apple has deals with for iTunes rentals and downloads.
So the question is, are you happy with the status quo as well? Or is this a fight Apple should be fighting?

Should Apple Enable DVD Ripping in iTunes?
Awesome idea! Apple should fight for it.
I think Apple should go for it. Go Apple Go!
I don't think it is illegal to rip a DVD for rippings sake, it is only illegal because DVDs have copy protection on them. CDs don't usually have any kind of protection. They should enable DVD ripping without copy protection support and then let the consumer worry about bypassing the protection (AnyDVD). That should get them by the DMCA argument, right?
If CD's came out when DVD's did, they'd have copy protection, too.
It's a matter of being in the right place at the right time. Or wrong time.
Apple should do a lot of things....that doesn't mean they will.
They should most definitely do it. They probably won't though. However, if they did it would definitely increase their sales for items like Apple TV or possibly other devices. They would recover any lost $$$ from a legal battle in no time. I have been contemplating the purchase of an Apple TV but haven't yet cause I only have just a handful of digital movies.
Apple is all about the ease of use of their products and making it clean and nice looking but not having DVD ripping in iTunes makes it hard to import movies or TV into iTunes. i'm the computer savvy one of the family so i have to show the rest of my family how to open a program, select the right "ripping profile", rip the dvd or tv show, save it to a folder, then import it to iTunes. this is such a hassle! (it wouldn't be SO bad if iTunes would just add folder monitoring!!!!) anyway, yes, iTunes should add DVD ripping. it just makes sense to me for them to add it to make the managing of ones digital library that much easier.
The rip model worked to drive iPod sales before the iTunes store opened for business. While I don't think that this would be a second coup for Apple it does make sense and it keeps this business model consistent.
I can't see the studios being for it. They're banking a conversion from DVD to Blu-Ray. Digital is problematic in their quest to get you to pay each time they change formats. However, if they let you rip DVD and all future devices you own are HD quality then it only serves as a gateway drug toadds converting to digital. In the end, they should be for it but are likely to hold the line u tim it's too late to capitalize.
@Bjern - search on Handbrake and have fun.
Wasting money fighting a landmark case wouldn't be good for Apple, its shareholders and, by extension, us as Apple hardware users. The iTunes store believes they already have the solution - ignore the DVD in the first place! I agree that iTunes could be significantly improved - not least with the ability to synchronise multiple iTunes libraries on a LAN now that the music is all DRM free (so long as you have upgraded to Plus tracks).
I agree that something should be done. It makes NO sense (except to Apple) that I should have to spend $15.00 to download a movie I paid $9.99 to buy in the first place. Put controls on it. make it so that it can only be downloaded onto one phone. I mean, no one has ever accused Apple on NOT being greedy, but this is one they would have a hard time explaing away. I can copy and load all the CD's I own, but not all the movies?? When HULU comes out for the iphone, that will put a dent in the TV shows on itunes. All it will take will be a company (Netflix are you listening!!) that comes out with an app that lets you stream movies straight to the phone (like you can do to your home) and it will make all this moot.
Totally agreed on Handbrake. I rip stuff all the time with that. Free and very effective - just read the directions to get the best results for your iDevice.
helpful. writers I dont really It is refreshing to find people who write like they know what they are talking about

The residents of Duxbury will confront a significant increase in the proposed town budget specifically in line item number 411, fire protection. The contract with the town of Waterbury is slated to increase this year approximately $42,000 over the previous contract ($60,472) for a total cost to the town of $102,179. The increase reflects Duxbury's apportioned share of the first year of debt service related to the construction of the two new Waterbury fire stations. The contract is calculated by adding the Equalized Municipal Grand List for each community to arrive at a ratio for apportionment of costs. A small portion of Duxbury abutting Moretown is contracted with the Moretown Fire Department and last year the Grand List was adjusted accordingly.
Duxbury's portion is calculated as follows and itemized in the contract (4/1/12-3/31/13):
Equalized Municipal
Grand List
(2010) Percentage
Waterbury $7,144,462 82%
Duxbury $1,600,114 18%
$8,774,576 100%
Source: Dept. of Taxes-Municipal Grand List Values by County (5/14/10)
The fact that the cost for fire/emergency protection would increase has not been a secret. The discussion of an increase based on the added debt cost to Waterbury related to the construction of the two new stations has been highlighted at the past two Annual Town Meetings.
After several efforts to arrive at acceptable locations and designs, the plan was approved and the stations constructed. A review of the options presents what was the most cost effective of all of the options. In light of what took place with Tropical Storm Irene, it was a most fortuitous result indeed given how quickly service was resumed and the role the Village station played in the recovery. As we have prepared this year's budget, questions have been raised with regard to the increase.
The following is from the Insurance Services Organization (ISO) website, "ISO is an independent organization that serves insurance companies, fire departments, insurance regulators and others by providing information about risk. ISO's expert staff collects information about municipal fire-protection efforts in communities throughout the United States. In each of those communities, ISO analyzes the relevant data and assigns a Public Protection Classification—a number from 1 to 10. Class 1 represents exemplary fire protection, and Class 10 indicates that the area's fire suppression program does not meet ISO's minimum criteria."
Insurance companies use the Public Protection Classification (PPC) ratings when providing property owners with insurance coverage. The program offers a uniform set of criteria allowing recognized standards for all companies wishing to offer such coverage. The following is from the ISO website:
"A community's PPC depends on:
fire alarm and communications systems, including telephone systems, telephone lines, staffing and dispatching
the fire department, including equipment, staffing, training and geographic distribution of fire companies.
the water supply system, including condition and maintenance of hydrants and a careful evaluation of the amount of available water compared with the amount needed to suppress fires."
Duxbury's property falls under two of the classifications, PPC 9 and PPC 10 (per ISO). The factor which differentiates which class applies is the geographic distance from a fire station/facility. Under PPC 9 the maximum distance is five miles; all others fall under PPC 10. Remember that PPC 10 "indicates that the area's fire suppression program does not meet ISO's minimum criteria." It would be my impression that this is possibly what motivated previous town officials to contract with Moretown for their services in the "South Duxbury" area. Attempting to forge a contract with Moretown for all of Duxbury would place most of the town under a PPC 10 classification. The five-mile range for the Moretown department would end at Stevens Brook Road. Consideration of contracting with Waitsfield would again, with the five-mile range, place all of Duxbury in a PPC 10. This makes no assumption of the impact that extending these services would have on the ratings for the respective towns.
In weighing how all of this affects everyone, I have been made aware that not all insurance companies write coverage for property falling under PPC 10; moreover, based on a limited inquiry, there can be an increase of approximately 23 percent between PPC 9 and 10. Again, this information is based on an inquiry with the agent for the town of Duxbury and was confirmed in a conversation I had with a representative of ISO.
I am offering this information as a resident and not as a member of the select board so that a thorough review and discussion may be done of the increase in the fire protection line item. I am well aware like many others of the impact. I believe we would all agree that it is a service we cannot do without nor is it one we ever anticipate making use of.
Recent discussions involving the separation of Duxbury and Waterbury with regard to redistricting have made mention of the close and integral relationship of both communities in so many areas. This indeed is one of those areas; the increase in the contract cost to the town would amount to an addition of approximately three cents on the tax rate. Residents should evaluate this versus an increase in their homeowner's coverage along with the criteria used by ISO to accurately measure and help provide for quality fire protection to our communities.

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the fourth of four articles covering the open house that the Mingo County Extended Learning Center held Tuesday, Oct. 23.)
DELBARTON — Marcella Cooper has been with the Mingo County Extended Learning Center for nearly three decades - 28 years - and still loves her job.
"I really feel like it's the best place on Earth to work," Cooper told the Daily News. "We have a strong bond here; it's like we're a family."
She said that the consolidation of the county's high schools hurt the center's ability to educate people with the loss of programs since many were cut and moved to Mingo Central Comprehensive High School, but also hurt that family bond, since instructors and students had to go.
And that's one of the center's largest goals: to add more and more programs, especially in adult education.
"We're trying to grow," Cooper said.
However, the center still has a number of features available, and not just to adults.
Fran Hoffman is the speech therapist and Susan Jude is the deaf and hard of hearing instructor for all of Mingo County. They were in attendance at the open house, where they conducted hearing screenings for all those interested in receiving one. The two of them showed off a large structure to the Daily News unqiue to the center: a soundproof hearing booth used for conducting hearing evaluations to those who fail hearing screenings.
A lone chair sits within the dimly lit, soundproof room, with a window in the middle and two speakers at the front corners. A stuffed animal is placed on each speaker and beneath the window. On the other side of the window, Jude showed how a test would be performed, with the person on the other side speaking directly at the person within the soundproof booth.
The stuffed animals, Jude said, made it easier for younger children to focus.
All of these services and facilities, including occupational and physical therapy, Fran said, were available to each student within the county for absolutely no cost.
Lastly, Thomas Hoffman, Administrator and Career Tech Ed of the center, spoke with the Daily News about what the center had done recently and what it looks to do in the future.
"We want to expand to more adult programs," he said. "Like medical assisting, digital mechanic and stick welding."
Hospitals and doctors, Thomas said, have contacted him saying that there was a need for medical assistants, which prompted him to try to get the class started.
Currently, the only adult education classes available are the Licenesed Practical Nursing, medical office and business administration support programs.
The LPN program in particular, he said, has enjoyed 100 percent placement over the last eight years, and with its recent introduction of EKG, phlebotomy and CNA certifications, it not only enables students to become LPN's, but also patient care technicians.
"It allows them to be more versatile and more employable," Thomas said. "We're the only center in West Virginia where students can be qualifed in becoming an LPN and patient care tech simultaneously."
He also mentioned the center housed the county's hearing evaluation booth, was a location for alternative education for youths who may have caused trouble in county schools and was where the county's robotics teams stored equipment and practiced for competitons. The center is also the location where GED testing takes place.
Thomas said the coal-to-gas liquification plant coming soon to the area was a concern of his, saying that he hoped it would allow the center to hold more classes to train people to work there. The administrator said that he had been talking with unions about using the center as their training site to educate citizens. He said that, as of right now, very few Mingo Countians would probably be working at the plant when it was finished.
"About 300 employees will work there," he said. "How many will be from Mingo County?"
He also said that he had been speaking with a man to teach welding courses at the center, since the consolidation took the once-established welding course to MCHS.
"If an adult wants to take a welding program, the closest one for them would probably be Charleston," he said.
Lastly, Thomas said the center contained all transcripts from the four closed high schools — Burch, Williamson, Matewan and Gilbert. He encouraged anyone who needed their transcript to contact the center.
While things may be quieter at the center with fewer programs and people roaming the halls, Thomas and his staff seem optimistic about the future.
"We're kind of busy here, but we want to grow," Thomas said. "It's going to take a while, we know, but we want to make this place a real education center for adults."

The Aiken Department of Public Safety is investigating an armed robbery at a store on Richland Avenue late Thursday night.
The incident happened at Murphy Oil about 11:40 p.m., according to a report. The store clerk told officers that a black man appearing to be in his mid- to late-20s entered the store, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with the hood up. The clerk described him as about five-foot-eight inches tall, 180 pounds with black hair and brown eyes, police said.
The suspect went to the counter and grabbed the clerk's shirt, pulling him close and keeping his right hand in the pocket of the jacket, according to the report.
"The subject then told (the victim) that he had a gun, and that he would kill him if he did not give him all the money in the register," the report stated. The suspect reportedly kept his right hand in the pocket the entire time, but the victim never saw a gun.
The victim complied and turned over an unknown amount of cash to the suspect, who then fled on foot, according to the report.
Officers arrived on scene and searched for the suspect but were unsuccessful. They were able to obtain video recorded by the store's security cameras.

Tuesday, November 5, 2013
A Sampit Community resident was on her way to work Tuesday morning when she saw smoke coming from the home of Brad and Beverly Tompkins, across from BB Smith's Store on Saints Delight Road.
The actions of Stacey Hughes-Simpson likely saved the lives of the couple, a one-month-old baby they were baby-sitting, two dogs and a deer that were all inside the home.
Hughes-Simpson said she knows the couple and knew they would not be outside burning leaves before 7 a.m. so she took a closer look and saw the house was actually burning.
"I drove my car up to the porch and forced open the front door," Hughes-Simpson said.
Everyone was still asleep so the woman began yelling telling them their house was burning.
Mrs. Tompkins handed Hughes-Simpson the baby while she hurried to help her husband and pets out of the house.
Hughes Simpson said the couple had raised the deer from a fawn. The deer and two of the couple's three dogs made it out safely.
"I am just very grateful I was passing by at the right time," Hughes-Simpson said. "I was working off of adrenaline."
Assistant Fire Chief Tony Hucks said the cause of the fire is still being investigated.

About this item
Crown Verity grills are built to last a lifetime and are made of 304 stainless steel that will not rust. This unit comes complete with a 60" grill and two 30" hoods.

PDT Staff Writer
Well-known Portsmouth attorney Gene Meadows is the newest member of Portsmouth City Council.
Council scheduled a special meeting for Thursday night with the purpose of selecting a replacement for former Fifth Ward Councilman John Haas who had resigned to apply for the position of City Solicitor. Haas subsequently received the appointment replacing Mike Jones who became magistrate of the Scioto County Common Pleas Court Domestic Court Division.
President of Council Rich Saddler called the meeting to order, allowed comments from the public on the business at hand, then retired to executive session for the next hour and a half. It was during the executive session that Council interviewed six people before returning to vote.
When the floor was open to nominations, Sixth Ward Councilman Steve Sturgill nominated Meadows. Fourth Ward Councilman Jim Kalb then entered the name of Chris Neff into nomination. Saddler conducted the vote by going in alphabetical order, meaning the five would vote first on Meadows. The vote was three to two in his favor. Council then voted on the Neff nomination, and the vote was again three to two in his favor.
It was at that point that First Ward Councilman Kevin Johnson reminded Council of Roberts Rules of Order which prohibits anyone from voting in favor of both candidates. A re-vote turned out two to three against Neff, giving Meadows the position.
"I'm pleased. I'm very pleased," Meadows told the Portsmouth Daily Times. "It's an honor. It's a privilege. Since I have come to this city I have really grown to love this city. I look forward to being able to serve the citizens of the Fifth Ward, and the city as a whole."
Meadows said there is no question as to what the biggest issue facing the city is.
"It's the same as almost everywhere else. The biggest issue is employment," Meadows said. "We need employment. We need jobs. Employment creates income tax revenue. Creating the revenue allows the city to do what it needs to do."
Meadows said he has always tried to serve in whatever position he was in at the time.
"Since coming to Portsmouth and coming back into private practice, I haven't done that," Meadows said. "I've been here long enough that it's time to start serving and giving back to the community."

Eye and Ear, Dr. Ann-Marie Lobo specializes in the treatment of patients with inflammatory eye disease, or uveitis. Left untreated, uveitis may lead to complications such as cataract, macular edema and glaucoma, which eventually result in vision loss. Inflammatory eye disease can often be safely controlled if it is treated early and aggressively, particularly with some of the newer medications available. The moments during a patient's first eye exam fascinate Dr. Lobo. "This first encounter with the patient reveals so much," she says. "It always inspires me because it is the critical first step in the development of a diagnosis and, ultimately, a treatment plan." In 2006, Dr. Lobo was accepted into the Harvard Medical School Department of Ophthalmology Residency Training Program. It was precisely the training she had hoped for, she explains. "I wanted to train at a world renowned academic medical school that offered incomparable clinical and research opportunities," she says. "Mass. Eye and Ear was that place." Following residency training, Dr. Lobo honed her skills further by completing a fellowship in uveitis under the mentorship of Dr. George Papaliodis, who directs the Ocular Immunology and Uveitis Service at Mass. Eye and Ear. There, Dr. Lobo cross-trained in the department's retina, cornea, and uveitis services. This multidisciplinary training makes her especially effective in managing inflammatory eye disease in her patients whose treatments often overlap internal medicine and ophthalmology. Today, as a member of the Uveitis Service, Dr. Lobo applies her highly tuned set of skills and knowledge to ensure that every patient receives the best care – and the best outcome – possible. It was the prospect of forming lasting relationships with patients that led Dr. Lobo to consider specializing in ophthalmology. "We're very visual creatures so most people tend to take care of their eyesight. They keep coming back, even for standard, routine care," she notes. Dr. Lobo began to witness that special bond with patients while she was still in training. "These will be your patients for life," Dr. Papaliodis once predicted, as she assisted him in the clinic. Today some of the patients she helped him treat still stop by to give her a hug. The last two decades have brought progress in the treatment of inflammatory eye disease, but challenges remain. "We still don't have all the answers," she says. "That can be frustrating for the patients, and for me, as well. When they face possible loss of eyesight, many patients, understandably, become quite fearful. Every patient's situation is unique and my role is to educate each individual about their disease and available treatment options so that, moving forward, we can make the most informed decisions about their care." As a researcher, Dr. Lobo is determined to help develop better, more effective treatment options for her patients. She and her colleagues in the Uveitis Service are enrolling patients in several clinical trials investigating new medications and treatments developed specifically for uveitis. "It's an exciting time for the field of uveitis," she says, "because there is now increased interest in finding new uveitis treatments that will offer patients therapeutic options with fewer side effects, good efficacy and good safety. It's wonderful when I have a patient who's interested in participating in one of our studies because that patient's involvement helps us learn more about the disease so we can advance treatment for the entire uveitis community." In addition to her practice at Mass. Eye and Ear's main Charles Street campus, Dr. Lobo sees patients for uveitis care at the hospital's Longwood eye care practice on Huntington Ave., and at the Stoneham office on Montvale Ave. Dr. Lobo also provides comprehensive ophthalmology services at the Longwood and Stoneham locations.

If your usbloader is on the SD you'll probably have to move it to the hard drive first. It might be okay to start it from the SD, then remove it JUST BEFORE launching a game, but I'm not sure. Never tested that.

The traditional concept of conservation, which turns biodiversity and human activity into mutually excluding concepts, has had devastating effects for those communities who have historically lived in territories where protected areas have been established: forced movements, loss of traditional means of survival, accelerated poverty processes and loss of identity. Currently, there are more than 100,000 protected areas worldwide, most of them established on ancestral indigenous territories, rich in biodiversity. Related documentation can be accessed through the links listed at the bottom of this article.
The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is a multilateral environmental treaty adopted during the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. Although the CBD is an international agreement labeled as "environmental", i.e. dealing with biological diversity and life in the environment, as a consequence of its subject-matter being so wide, and given its approach, it goes further beyond the reach of what was considered purely environmental. The CBD has an impact on broad sectors of peoples' life, as in economy and other social issues.
Documents and materials on the convention can be accessed through the links listed at the bottom of this page. Additionally, in the "training materials" section of this page you can find specific training materials regarding CBD and indigenous peoples.

Helix Sleeveless
The Helix has won more races than any other wetsuit, ever. The standard shelf version was first out of the water at the London 2012 Olympics in both the men's and women's triathlon event. It is relied on by the world's fastest athletes to get them out of the water with less effort and more energy for the bike. No other wetsuit is so copied and envied by our competitors. And no other brand's flagship wetsuit is available in a sleeveless specific model.
The Helix is based on over 20 years of fit and testing data across pros and elite athletes. It tiers buoyancy 5-5-4, maximizing core buoyancy using Yamamoto Aerodome neoprene in the split chest panel and torso panel of the suit. Our now legendary and distinctive blue TST panels improve range of motion even in a sleeveless model. The reverse zipper reduces chaffing and makes it easier to sight. It truly is in a world of it's own in function, durability and style.
We've further improved our Femme Fit sizing and now offer our women's specific wetsuits in more sizes then any other brand.
BUOYANCY:The Helix tiers buoyancy 5-5-4, centralizing Core buoyancy to raise the position of the hips in relation to the rest of the swimmer.
CHEST: RATING 5mm
The Helix uses two layered chest panels that naturally and anatomically accentuate the lungs in producing the optimal amount of buoyancy for the swimmer in the upper body.
TORSO: RATING 5mm + AERODOME
The torso uses a core panel of Yamamoto Aerodome material to deliver a maximal central buoyancy zone in the suit, keeping the hips high and promoting an efficient downhill swimming position.
LOWER LEGS: RATING 4mm
Research with top swimmers has shown that our 4mm Yamamoto 39 cell neoprene legs deliver the perfect blend of buoyancy without limiting drive from the kick.

text: Feeling for you, Shasta. I liken this to my sister in law, who is a Jehovah's Witness. You absolutely CANNOT bring it up or allow her to bring it up, because there is no discussion - what she believes is the only belief that is allowed. That's the problem with any type of extremism, it ignores the whole "to err is human" ideology, and says that doubt of your own beliefs is weakness. I am sorry for your suffering relationship with your father, but I do believe things will cool down. It's still a fresh wound, and the right has used such a great amount of fear to rally the voters that now those who believed those scare tactics are afraid and looking for people to blame. It will pass, as all things. I'd like to say we (as a country) will learn from this, but we won't. Keep trying to make amends, stay away from talking about politics, and don't allow the two of you to drift apart over something like this! Or maybe try crying, that usually brings us menfolk around to those we care about!

Shelter directors speak out at city council hearing on fundingWritten by Brian Bohnert | | firstname.lastname@example.com
In a June 13 public hearing, directors of area homeless shelters expressed concern to city council over the threat of looming budget cuts to their agencies.
Councilmembers presented some legislation but put the discussion on hold in the interest of time after about two hours.
The city released Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) recommendations last week and the results marred the hopes that any shelter directors had of making up for lost funding they incurred from prior cuts.
The homeless shelters, including the Aurora House, Family House, Bethany House, the Harbor House and La Posada Family Shelter, learned about two months ago that they would no longer receive Community Development Block Grants (CDBG). Many of these shelters have depended on this money for decades. The Aurora House, a rehabilitative transitional housing program, used CDBG funding for at least 12 percent of its budget.
Now, staff and directors of the local shelters have nearly two weeks to create a new budget and find a solution to their problems. The new budget cycle starts at the beginning of July.
Renee Palacios, executive director of the Family House, said the proposed cuts would eliminate 12 percent from their total budget, around $85,000.
With the fiscal year ending on June 30, Palacios said there is not a lot of time.
"We have had emergency meetings to find where $85,000 can be cut and we've put three things on the chopping block," Palacios said. "We've put feeding our residents, security and transportation for children to our daycare all on the chopping block. When you're talking 12 percent in 11 days, you have to make some pretty rash decisions."
Lourdes Santiago, director of the Department of Neighborhoods, spoke before council. She said the city review panel did not grant some agencies CDBG funding because they were eligible to receive ESG funding while other agencies were not.
Dino Peluso, board president for the Family House, was outraged at the proposed cuts. He, like many at local shelters, was under the impression that the CDBG money lost would be restored by ESG funding.
"What makes me so upset is that, between CDBG and ESG, they cut 12 percent of my budget and then they keep telling me it's going to be alright," Peluso said. "They expect us to up our service to the homeless but I don't understand how we can do that with less money."
The Family House provides 37,000 meals a year to its residents.
Both Peluso and Palacios expressed their concerns when speaking to the council at the hearing.
"We have a community at the Family House that is at the worst moments of their lives losing their shelter. Now, they have to worry about losing their food," Peluso said. "We want to be on the forefront of homelessness. We want to be the voice of the people. But it's hard to be the voice of the people with 13 percent less money."
If the funding is not restored, Peluso said that the Family House, as well as other local shelters, could face a hard and bleak future.
"What happens if, at the end of the day, Family House has to close?" he said. "Out of the 137 beds in area homeless shelters, we have 90. Yet, it seems fit to cut 100 percent of our CDBG funds. We're asking for help. Our organization is at its end if something doesn't change."
While speaking in front of council at the hearing, Jennifer Flory, a Family House resident, addressed the issue of rapid rehousing — a method that county shelters are being asked to pursue.
For Flory's daughter, 9-year-old Jaylyn, rapid rehousing would not be good as she has ADHD, epilepsy and a form of autism, Flory said.
"Rapid rehousing is not good for us," Flory said. "It would not be safe for us to move an autistic child around so much."
Many other shelter residents spoke in front of council, telling their stories and pleading with the city to make a well-informed decision as to where money needs to go.
"This should not be about how many shelters there are," said Ken Leslie, founder of 1Matters and former Toledo Lucas County Homelessness Board member. "If the Family House closes, where will people go?"
City Council has the ultimate decision, one it will reach by the end of June.
"Homelessness really is a complex issue," said City Council President Joe McNamara. "There is no one-size-fits-all solution to homelessness. All I can say is that I think everyone in this room has the common goal to end homelessness."
Councilman D. Michael Collins introduced a proposed amendment to the ESG recommendations that would reduce funds to other local agencies by 10 percent in order to gently guide the shelters into the fiscal transition.
"This is a one-time fix. It gives the organizations and the city of Toledo a year to come up with a better way of addressing HUD's changing priorities and the Department of Neighborhoods policies," Collins said.
Council will have another hearing to discuss additional proposed legislation.
Denise Fox, executive director of the Aurora House, addressed council on the unexpected news of the funding cuts, urging them to make the decision about what is best for the people needing the services.
"When we first started [the fiscal year], Aurora attended a meeting for CDBG like usual. We became aware that Toledo suffered a 3 percent cut of funding," Fox said. "As an agency, we have received those funds for over 20 years and we fall under eligible CDBG services."
When it comes to reducing the length of time a resident can stay at the Aurora House, Fox said rapid rehousing is not the best option.
The Aurora House, which specializes in helping women and their children, often houses their residents for extended periods of time. The prospective loss of around $70,000 would likely cut the length of time a resident can stay, she said.
"As an agency, we are very much focused on long-term housing," she said. "We are sincerely looking at a program that changes lives and you can't do that in a short amount of time."

Keeping up with change in the digital age requires a solid gold strategy. Bank customers have more choices today: alternative payments systems, mobile banking, and new services such as deposits with mobile phones. You can take charge of this change by geoenabling your processes. According to a BAI 2013 study, banks that rely on location-based analysis run more efficient branches with higher profits and deposits. They also attract more households that open new checking accounts. Why? Location analysis gives you new insight. Intelligent maps supply powerful analytical tools that can help you answer the tough questions.
