Georgia did this very samething before the Olympics where held there..
They send "ONE WAY" Tickets to homeless to head to various cities in Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Alabama and Memphis..
The story has been told many times how evil that was for people be forced out of the city so Atlanta would look nice and clean and look artificially rich.
But these people weren't given the option to go to their families, The Mayor simply shut down the Shelters or made it very miserable and that basically forced them to accept the few hundred to leave.
I think the New york program is much better, at least they are waiting for Family members to contact them before sending them off.
New Orleans has often benefited from some of the Homeless from other states, most have great backgrounds, and job experience but couldn't find it in a place so competitive and didn't have the means or the mental capacity to leave the city.
If New Orleans setup programs for these people that "Want to work" more training in certain fields like construction, port work etc, they may be of use, and that may actually combat Illegals from taking total control of South Louisiana.
God gave you a free tanning bed and people decided to pay for it lol.. crazy.. rub some SPF lotion on and GO OUT SIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whats the point of getting a tan if your gonna just be inside with it fully cloth?
I know Being black is in now but stop paying to be black go outside and get some of that free sun.
Killers have no color, now when it come to the way they kill, you might easily be able to tell who did what most of the time..
So yeah, the Killer Mentality doesn't stop at one color, hell the first murder case after Katrina was a WWL Radio Show host!!..
So everybody out there is lumped into one basket, don't come on here with the " I know who did it"
Take an image copy of the Drives and give them back to the city, hand the date over to FBI and the state.
Our Drew Bree's share the same thoughts as me..
HOWEVER.. I think we should have just beat the information out of them or made them take truth serum and spill the beans, then later on killed them..
I don't want my tax dollars put toward housing, feeding, clothing and entertaining terrorist that tried to kill me and my family and destroy my freedoms!
going to remain cautious with this move, we've been through this before.
Although i liked the building and the price, i agree with Clarkson when she said "Chevron should donate that building to the city as a Tax-write off, The city should not be looked at as an ignorant mass that is only looking to polish it's own boots as the rest of the city crumbles before it's feet, and New Orleans should not have a Larger city hall than some of the largest cities in the US..
That buildin gigantic and lovely but i'd rather have it converted into a hotel, bought by another developer and made into a taller commercial building or something, hell the state could have moved it's state offices into that building that cheap instead of into Benson's office building lol..
Good Vote, bad timing for such a structure, good price though, if i had 8 million to blow i'd definately buy it as an investment building and sell it to the highest bidder.
Scum of the earth, none of the Pathetic low lives that go around killing in New Orleans has anything on this group of Confused hicks that were obviously easily influenced because they had an easy mind to manipulate, they needed something to do and was bored, they could have easily been in Texas leading a KKK group or in Colorado leading a Neo Nazi group or worse..
Guys like this are just easy to manipulate to be whatever you want them to be, Why the hell they didn't just join the army?
Israel need to sit their asses down and shut the hell up for now, Iran hasn't done anything "YET" to warrant such a threat, now that it's out there, Israel and America look like they are planning a strike..
I know all about Iran's President making some threats a few years back, (most are weak attempts but that country has the right to power their country however way they see fit, if they are on the verge of enriching Uranium to the point of making a Nuke, they should then be struck, however it takes years to enrich, Unless Israel know something we don't, they should leave the matter to more civilized countries..
We gave Israel everything they have to fight with including some very high profile nuclear submarines and trained them, do you not think that Iran will not only strike Israel but do their best to Target America Next at any cost?
Israel may in fact start a whole new World war with their "Strike first talk later stance"..
However i feel for them as well they were killed off in masses and have said "NEVER AGAIN".. Well they have to believe America and it's allies has it's back, so stay out of the news!
You know what..
The US Should just say forget it..
Sell New Orleans and all of Louisiana back to the French, don't include the original footprint that go all the way to North America, just sell back the actual state, strip away the Government and Mayors and let France dictate how what goes and where....

You do know there were little girls there as well right? or are you just easily influenced by what the media want to cherry pick for you.. or you just like to poke fun at someone of Epic proportion that isn't of Nordic or Irish background?
Oddly enough, Only 3 Trailer trash kids from California claimed MJ touched them, all but one that can't be found confessed to lying under oath, practical parents coaching to embezzle some funds..
However MJ was asking to be conned out of his money and reputation ruined by even having the young kids at his place around his bedroom or anywhere near him during bed time, i don't care how much of a kid he think he was inside, that was not cool in my book and i can't believe why no one told him it's not normal..
But it is what it is.. (or was what it was)..
They got their money and never was heard from again..
However, how come Michael Jackson never had any of these claims in any other state he lived in or any other Country he lived in?
He lived in Moscow for about 10 years, He lived in London for 5 years, he lived in Beijing for a couple of years, japan, etc, not one claim, he had sleep overs everywhere he went, not one mention of "Fondling sexual parts or showing himself to boys." "EVEN THOUGH HE HAD LITTLE GIRLS THERE AS WELL" People fail to realize he thought he was a Kid, and didn't care about what Gender came over, if the Boys were exposed the girls were exposed as well and would have been in worse shock than the Boys.
Could be a Marriage made in heaven if it happens and Tyson doesn't purposely or unpurposely fail his physical causing Hornets to make a very difficult decision..
Im all for it.
"Takes a deep breath.."
I hope the good god has a plan for these people other than death in a place care obviously always forget.
Yes indeed.. Jerry was nasty as well..
Lewis' turbulent personal life was hidden from the public until a May 1958 British tour where Ray Berry, a news agency reporter at London Airport (the only journalist present), learned about Lewis' third wife, Myra Gale Brown.
She was Lewis' first cousin once removed and only 13 years old.
(Brown, Lewis, and his management all insisted she was 15.) Lewis was nearly 23 years old. The publicity caused an uproar and the tour was canceled after only three concerts.
The scandal followed Lewis home to America, and as a result, he was blacklisted from radio and almost vanished from the music scene.
Lewis felt betrayed by numerous people who had been his supporters.
Dick Clark dropped him from his shows
Im sorry a 14 year old girl lol not 9..
Elvis and Priscilla first met in 1959 Germany while Elvis was stationed there with the U.S. Army.
Priscilla was only 14 years old when the Elvis began dating her.
He was 24, and at that time, he even had a younger girl living in his house. Therefore, authors such as Albert Goldman have gone so far as to call Presley a "pedophile" and a "pervert". According to Goldman, "Elvis plays the strutting, overbearing macho in public, but in private he loves nothing better than to roughhouse with teenage girls with whom he exchanges beauty secrets.
His basic erotic image is a crotch covered with white panties and showing a bit of pubic hair -- an image no different essentially from male to female."
Indeed, Elvis relationships were primarily with relatively young women.
Elvis biographer Alanna Nash also confirms that the singer had a predilection for young adolescent girls.
The author says that Presley was overly attached to his mother and could not relate normally to mature women; presumably, Presley sought out very young girls because he felt threatened by women who were older.
Did everybody know Elvis Dated an 8 year old Girl from Germany?
This law is actually something im impressed with and Smiling while i read it..
I think this is the way to go, bring on the real artist that actually "WORK"..
I'll be honored to go to the french quarters once again and bring women out there to get self portraits done again, and pick up some original works along the way, i once sat and waited for almost 2 hours to get ahold of one painting ( i forget the lady name) but she was fantastic and wasn't from America and only go to New Orleans for only a few weeks out of the entire year, so it's hard to get ahold of real artist as it is, lets encourage them to come back and stay even longer..
The Square can use a few more Benches and a bunch of water fountains as well... but i wont push my luck.
A Tazer would have worked as well but i don't know the whole story.
I Don't know killing the man was the best option but i guess Kats will know learn their lesson or retaliate, only time will tell.

The vexed question of shareholdings in EADS resurfaced last week with a Financial Times report indicating the German government is finally prepared to step in where no private buyers dare to tread - and relieve Daimler, the national industrial champion best known for its Mercedes-Benz cars, of some of the burden of holding the country's interest in the Franco-German alliance behind the Airbus, Eurocopter, Astrium space and Cassidian defence businesses.
Berlin rapidly denied the report and EADS declined to comment - insisting, as it invariably does, that it is a matter for shareholders. However, the fact remains that the French and German national shares in EADS have been a recurring theme all year, raised whenever the company's financial performance or governance is discussed.
Daimler, whose aerospace division formed the core of the German pillar of EADS when the Airbus, Eurocopter and Astrium parent was formed a decade ago out of French, German, Spanish and UK national aerospace companies, has remained Berlin's proxy holder of the 22.46% German share of the company.
France's 22.46% is split between the state and media group Lagardère. Most of the rest is freely traded.
The car and truck maker, however, wants out, to focus on its automotive business and, at least according to FT sources apparently inside the German government, political opposition to nationalisation is weakening, so a €2.5 billion ($3.5 billion) deal to buy 15% of EADS during the next year or so may be on the cards.
Such nationalisation would still leave 7.5% with Daimler.
Earlier this year, Daimler finance chief Bodo Uebber - who doubles as EADS chairman - said the company intends to retain "industrial leadership" of Germany's interest in the aerospace giant.
The shareholding structure is looking increasingly anachronistic, and is clearly under strain. The two countries control equal shares, by mutual agreement, partly to ensure workshare remains roughly balanced between them and partly to protect what is regarded as a crucial industrial interest from hostile foreign takeover.
However, Lagardère is also known to want an exit from EADS. Its businesses are otherwise in media and advertising, and the group is struggling financially in a dire media market.
Daimler and Lagardère may want out, but there is no great imperative for Paris or Berlin to grapple with the EADS problem.
Many German politicians are opposed to nationalisation in principle. The French, in contrast, have a long history of holding state stakes in companies deemed to be national champions.
Moreover, as Royal Bank of Scotland equities analyst Sandy Morris told Flight International earlier this year, it would be better to talk about selling large stakes in EADS late next year, when it becomes clear whether or not the Airbus A350 project is running smoothly.
Morris stressed that while investors want more EADS shares to be freely traded, they mostly want this "evolving" company to continue successfully developing aircraft, particularly the A350.
Nevertheless, a problem looms for Germany. To assuage Daimler's concerns, a consortium of German banks has been holding 7.46% of the company - about a third of the Daimler shareholding. However, those banks expect to be bought out in the next year or so and the FT report was in part based on an apparent realisation in Berlin that neither financial nor industrial buyers are to be found.
EADS is not very profitable and pays meagre dividends (see chart), but potential buyers are also thought to be reluctant to get involved with a company that carries so much political baggage.
In any case, EADS itself is agitating for change. Though vastly more streamlined than when it was formed - a management structure that demanded co-chief executives and co-chairmen, one French and one German, was abandoned in 2007 in favour of a more typical single-heads regime - chief executive Louis Gallois has said the state holdings need to be reduced to give management greater freedom to address the challenges of EADS' second decade.
As far back as January, in his annual state-of-the-company briefing, Gallois took aim at the politicians in Berlin and Paris who continue to exert what many consider undue influence over a company.
EADS, he said, will always have its roots firmly fixed in Europe but must structure itself to play an increasingly global aerospace game.
"Our duty is to prepare the company for a new world," he said.

STAR Program
The STAR (STEM Teacher and Researcher) program offers pre-service and early career K-12 STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) teachers paid summer research experiences in national, university, and independent laboratories. STAR Fellows pursue a prestigious "teacher-researcher" career path starting with an original research project for 9 weeks. Weekly education workshops and conferences support Fellows considering how the "doing of science" can be translated into the "teaching of science. " Each STAR Fellow presents their research at a closing conference. Many become STEM leaders and go on to present at state and national teaching and professional society meetings.
STAR aims to enhance the recruitment, preparation, and retention of high quality science and math teachers. The STAR program is administered on behalf the California State University system by the Cal Poly Center for Excellence in Science and Mathematics Education (CESaME). STAR has supported hundreds of Fellows since its inception in 2006.
This Digital Commons series presents Fellow's research posters illustrating the diverse fields of inquiry and depth of research projects grouped by our partner lab sites.

A dire government report on risks from chemicals and other hazards in the environment has drawn criticism from the , which says government experts are overstating their case.
The governments 240-page report, published online Thursday by the Presidents Cancer Panel, says the proportion of cancer cases caused by environmental exposures has been grossly underestimated. It warns of grievous harm from chemicals and other hazards, and cites a growing body of evidence linking environmental exposures to cancer. Read More

This place is always bustling every time I walk by, so finally I took my family and some friends who were visiting from out of town, for a dinner last week. Now I understand the crowds. Every one of us was delighted with our meal. I had the mussels mariniere - it was a generous portion and everyone dipped their bread in to soak up the savory broth. The burger was a huge hit as was the steak frites. The foie gras appetizer and the cod fish were given raves from my husband. Our friends had been dining in some of the finest restaurants in the city during their visit, but they declared Cafe Joul as their favorite spot. It's a very warm and inviting space and prices were surprisingly reasonable given the quality. Tables are on the small side and perhaps too close together for some folk, but we loved the conviviality and the neighborhood feel.

I asked to substitute grilled chicken for shrimp on the Cesar salad for dinner, thinking that since the chicken is an option on the lunch menu it wouldn't be a problem. They charged me 23.50, the price of an entire chicken dinner (with pasta and asparagus) for a chicken breast on lettuce SALAD. Maybe it's my fault for not clarifying that the price would be in the same ballpark as the shrimp salad but I find the price and reasoning a little ridiculous.

I went to Cafe Joul a couple a weeks ago with my family on a trip to NYC. We come into the area alot, and always fancy restaurants in the Upper East in general. We originally went in because of the cold, but found so much more than free heat. First of all the food was GREAT. I had the duck, first time actually, ever. It was a great portion size and the presentation was outstanding. The service was pretty good, we were there in a rush and I could tell the servers had their hands full. We met the manager who was hanging out at the bar and she was HILARIOUS... and made a swear to come back.. and we will!

I was pleasantly suprised by this restaurant. I went with my girlfriend and every one of our dishes were great. I thought the duck was exceptional as well as one of their specials, which was a butternut squash lobster soup. I can't wait to go back

I have returned again and again to Cafe Joul over the years to enjoy the delicious, fresh and expertly prepared meals and relax in the warm, inviting dining room. My most recent visit did not disappoint. I chose a healthful salad which was tasty, fresh and light. Having left room for dessert, I selected the pear tatin with caramel ice cream. What a treat! While the light lunch was truly enjoyable, I have had many satisfying brunch meals and dinners there as well. Over various visits, my family and I have enjoyed excellently prepared steak frites, roast salmon and expertly cooked eggs . Cafe Joul is the kind of restaurant I wish we had more of on the upper east side. Top flight cuisine in an welcoming, low key atmosphere.

16/110, 116 R; 306/32; 145/61 R, 61 C 6 Claims, 5 Drawing Figures PATENTED FEB 1 31915 INVENTOR 14440752 A Pia/144465 METHOD OF EQUIPPING A TOOL HANDLE OR HAND GRIP WITH A TOUGH ADHERENT PROTECTIVE LAYER WITH ENHANCED GRIPPING PROPERTIES This invention relates to tool handles and the like hand grips and more particularly to an improved method of permanently assembling thereto a protective layer of thermoplastic material providing greatly enhanced gripping and safety properties.
Tool handles and hand grips for a wide variety of appliances, sporting goods, tools and other devices have need for a protective finish having numerous characteristics not satisfactorily satisfied by the techniques and proposals heretofore made. Not only is it highly important that of innumerable implements, such as axes, hammers, golf clubs, bats, etc., to name but a few, the gripping surface be highly resistant to slippage when gripped but it must be resistant to abrasion, corrosion, attack by the elements, withstand a wide variety of abuses and provide reliable protection against slippage, loss of control, malfunctioning, electrical shocks and meet other well known requirements.
The simple, quickly performed method and technique characterizing this invention meets the foregoing and other exacting and widely variant needs to a highly satisfactory degree by utilizing the highly advantageous properties of heat reactive thermoplastic tubing. This material is readilyavailable on the market in any desired diameter and wall thickness, and possesses a shrinkage coefficient of at least percent in most embodiments thereof. This material quickly shrinks upon the application of heat into snug fitting conformity with any underlying surface falling within the latitude of its shrinkage capabilities. Sleeving of appropriate size is selected for loose fitting assembly over the tool handle to be encapsulated following completion of which heat is applied to its exterior adequate to soften the material. thereby automatically releasing internal stresses and allowing the material to shrink until snugly bearing against the juxtaposed underlying surface. Desirably, the ends of the sleeve project beyond the adjacent ends of the handle with the result that the application of heat causes the ends to curl inwardly into snug conformity with the handle ends. Desirably, a layer of adhesive is applied between the handle surface and the interior of the sleeve thereby further strengthening and reinforcing the final assembly.
It is therefore an important object of the invention to provide an improved method of providing tool handles and other hand grips with an improved strong-adherent protective covering with pronounced anti-slipping characteristics.
Another object of the invention is the provision of an improved technique for finishing tool handles and hand grips with a non-slip, non-conductive, permanent protective cover.
These and other more specific objects will appear upon reading the following specification and claims and upon considering in connection therewith the attached drawing to which they relate.
Referring now to the drawing in which a preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated:
FIG. I is a cross sectional view showing one suitable means for applying adhesive to the interior of the invention hand grip sleeve; 7
FIG. 2 is an end view on an enlarged scale taken from the left hand end of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross sectional view of the sleeve with the applied adhesive;
FIG. 4 is a side view, partly in section, of a typical tool handle in the process of having the protective sleeve shrunk thereagainst; and
FIG. 5 is a cross sectional view through a typical tool handle of non-cylindrical cross-section in its final assembled condition.
Referring initially more particularly to FIG. 1, there is shown a length of the invention heat reactive thermoplastic sleeving l0 telescoped over a spray nozzle 1 l which is supplied through hose 12 with any suitable adhesive material. This adhesive flows through passage 13 of the nozzle and through its discharge ports 14 onto the interior surface of sleeving 10. Typically, the tubing is inserted over nozzle 11 until properly positioned for the deposit of the adhesive layer 16 onto'the innermost end of the sleeve. The sleeve is then gradually withdrawn from the nozzle so as to deposit a layer 16 of adhesive of uniform thickness.
After the sleeve has been coated with adhesive it is assembled to a hand grip by telescoping it over one end of the tool handle, such as the handle 18 of a screw driver bit 19. In the usual case, sleeve 10 has a length slightly in excess of the handle being encapsulated so that its ends 20,20 project slightly beyond the handle ends. The assembly operation is accomplished quickly and easily and without displacing the adhesive owing to the slightly larger diameter of the sleeve. The parts are then bonded together by the simple expedient of applying moderate heat, such as from the hot air nozzle 22 to all parts of sleeve 10. It is desirable that the hot air nozzle be moved so as to direct hot air against and soften all parts of the sleeve. An air temperature of -200 is quite satisfactory although the operating temperature depends upon how close the air nozzle is held and how quickly it is moved from place to place over the sleeve. All that is required is sufficient heat to soften the sleeve material whereupon it quickly shrinks and draws very snugly against the underlying surface. Likewise, the opposite ends of the sleeve collapse and curl about the adjacent ends of the handle, as is clearly indicated in FIG. 4.
In many instances the tool handle is provided with a non-cylindrical exterior surface to enhance its gripping characteristics. One of the many typical non-cylindrical configurations is shown in FIG. 5 wherein it will be noted that the protective thermoplastic layer has shrunk into high fidelity configuration with the underlying surface of the handle to which it is strongly bonded by the adhesive layer 16.
While the particular method of equipping a tool handle or hand grip with a tough adherent protective layer herein shown and disclosed in detail is fully capable of attaining the objects and providing the advantages hereinbefore stated, it is to be understood that it is merely illustrative of the presently preferred embodiment of the invention, and that no limitations are intended to the details of construction or design herein shown other than as defined in the appended claims.
I claim:
1. That method of providing a tool handle, hand grip or the like with a non-conductive high-grip protective layer which comprises: telescoping a sleeve of heat reactive thermoplastic material having a length greater than the length of the hand grip and a high shrinkage coefficient over the hand grip of the handle to be protected with at least one end thereof projecting slightly beyond the end of said hand grip, and subjecting the assembly to heat adequate to shrink said sleeve into a snug fit with the juxtaposed surface of the handle with said projecting end of said sleeve curled snugly against 4. That method defined in claim 1 characterized in the step of applying a layer of adhesive to the interior surface of said sleeve prior to telescoping the same over the handle.
5. That method defined in claim 4 characterized in the step of applying said layer of adhesive to said sleeve by jetting adhesive onto the inner surface of the sleeve progressively from one end thereof toward the other end of the sleeve.
6. That method defined in claim 1 characterized in telescoping said sleeve of heat reactive material over a handle having a non-cylindrical outer surface, and applying heat to heat shrink said sleeve into snug conformity with said non-cylindrical surface.

When thinking of "Saturday Night Live" and Jamie Foxx, one goes into a anything can happen mode.
And that was the case Saturday night when the actor/comedian/singer appeared on the show as guest host and skit player.
Put it this way, if you've got a taste for Tyler Perry as Alex Cross AND Madea, Jamie delivered. Yes, we're not sure just what it was he delivered, but it was edgy, bizarre and fairly funny. However, something tells us Tyler Perry might not find it too funny.

Plan B
On August 25, 2006, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced approval of Plan B, a contraceptive drug, as an over-the-counter (OTC) product for women ages 18 and over. The FDA website provides information about the recent approval. Plan B may not be dispensed without a prescription unless it is in the new OTC packaging. Packages labeled "Rx only" may NOT be sold OTC. Additional information is available from the manufacturer and the National Association of Chain Drug Stores.
Currently, Texas law does not have a conscience clause allowing pharmacists to refuse to sell a product or dispense a prescription based on moral grounds. However, a pharmacist does have a professional responsibility to his/her patients. If a pharmacist is unable to sell a medication or fill a particular prescription for any reason, he/she should refer the patient to another pharmacist at the pharmacy, if possible, or refer the patient to a pharmacy where the patient may obtain the medication.

Have a go at 'worm charming' in London's Hyde Park this Saturday and help scientists as they try to find the best way to woo a worm at the launch of the Earthworm Society of Britain (ESB).
The new natural history group has been funded by the Open Air Laboratories (OPAL) project following the success of its national Soil and Earthworm Survey.
OPAL is a nationwide initiative with many partners including the Natural History Museum, set up to inspire communities to discover, enjoy and protect their local environments.
'We hope to increase awareness and understanding of these under-valued little creatures,' says Emma Sherlock, ESB President, Natural History Museum.
'Thousands of people have taken part in the OPAL Soil and Earthworm Survey so the Society has been set up to help people develop their interest further.'
Worm charming competitions have been held around Britain for many years, with the world championships taking place in Cheshire each summer.
The experiment in Hyde Park will test some of the most commonly used techniques to see which activity yields the most worms.
Visitors could try 'twanging', stamping or even singing in a bid to encourage the park's wriggly inhabitants to the surface. The event begins at 10:45 until 2pm.
Through the ESB, members will be able to meet experts and go on field trips, learn new skills to help add records to national databases, and their increase knowledge of earthworm biodiversity.
Nick Baker, Patron, Earthworm Society of Britain, said, 'Aristotle and Charles Darwin were both big earthworm fans, but these days most people don't give these humble creatures a second thought.
'They are an incredibly important aspect of soil health as by churning it up they improve its fertility; which in turn is great news for plants, animals and ultimately us.'

Pre-Trip Travel Information:
A Preparation list of what is required will be sent at time of final booking. Here are a few questions and answers:
What do you mean with Dry Landings and Wet Landings?
On a dry landing, passengers step directly from a dinghy to rocks or onto a dock. We recommend: walking shoes, sunscreen, hat, water, insect repellent and a light jacket. Wet Landing means that the dinghy edges up onto a beach, where you step into knee-deep water assisted by crew members and guides. We recommend: swimming suit or shorts, walking shoes or slippers, towel that will be provided by the crew while disembarking, sunscreen, hat, insect repellent, plastic bag, well insulated cameras and a windbreaker.
What can I pack for the excursions?
For shore excursions comfortable clothing is a must, preferably shorts, bathing suits, head covering, walking shoes, tennis shoes, windbreaker type jacket, binoculars, camera and a good memory. Sun rays are very strong in the Galapagos Islands. Do not forget to take with you enough high grade sun block. Also, put your cameras in self-sealing plastic bags to protect them from the water, especially during landfalls.
What would happen if I get seasick?
We hardly get a seasick passenger on board. However, we have seasick medication on board all our ships, but if you are particularly sensitive you can bring your own medication.
Is the water safe to drink?
The tap water is generally not safe to drink in Ecuador. Bottled water is readily available at tourist sites, hotels, and restaurants. On board our yachts you will find bottled water in your room. Ice used onboard the yachts is generally made with purified water as well.
Do you provide biodegradable shampoo and soap on board?
Yes, we supply all travelers with these items as part of our conservation policy, but if you want to bring your own please make sure they are biodegradable. Thank you.
Do we need to bring our own towels?
No you don't. For your convenience we provide bath and beach towels during your cruise.

To impact teaching and learning in K-12 classrooms so that migrant students achieve high academic success.
Program Description
The Migrant Education Program (MEP) is a federally funded, state-operated program under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) that provides supplemental program services to the children, ages 3 through 21, of seasonal or temporary agricultural workers. In Arizona, the program delivers services primarily through local educational agencies (LEAS) that design programs to meet the unserved needs of children residing in their area. To facilitate broader services, some provisions are delivered through statewide models which, in particular, are designed to meet the credit accrual and informational needs for students.

Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Grant
In 2014 the Colby College Museum of Art received a $600,000 grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to strengthen student and faculty engagement with the Museum's collection. In addition to supporting the Museum's teaching mission and ongoing faculty use of the Davis Curricular Gallery and the Landay Teaching Gallery, the grant supported the creation of a new position, the curator of academic programs, dedicated to academic outreach and programming. As part of the grant the Colby Museum also will work with the Bowdoin College Museum of Art to implement a series of seminars and workshops for faculty on collection use and to launch a collections-sharing program to address curricular needs beyond the scope of the Museum's permanent collection.
Mellon Foundation Faculty Symposium
On April 10, 2015, the Colby College Museum of Art will host a Mellon Foundation Faculty Symposium, designed to address the various ways that Colby faculty can engage their students with museum collections and exhibitions. This symposium will include speakers from leading college art museums, and serve as a platform for sharing best practices in museum teaching, past faculty experiences, and future initiatives. For a detailed program, click here. Please rsvp via email to Shalini Le Gall, Curator of Academic Programs (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Davis Curricular Gallery
As a center of experiential learning and interdisciplinary dialogue on campus, the Colby College Museum of Art seeks to build critical-thinking skills, foster creativity, and promote collaboration among students and faculty. Conceived of as a laboratory space, the Davis Curricular Gallery supports the Museum's teaching mission and facilitates intellectual engagement on campus. It enhances teaching and learning by offering students prolonged encounters with historically and aesthetically significant objects that provide focal points for class discussion and serve as the bases of assignments. The diverse works of art on view here change every semester. Drawn primarily from the rich collections of the Colby Museum, they are selected by faculty members teaching courses in a range of disciplines. Academic departments and programs that have recently used the Davis Gallery include Art, American Studies, Anthropology, Biology, History, and Science, Technology, and Society. If you are a Colby professor planning a course that could be served by the Davis Curricular Gallery, please contact Mirken Curator of Education Lauren Lessing (ext. 5609) or Curator of Academic Programs Shalini Le Gall (ext. 5622) at least one semester in advance.
Landay Teaching Gallery
The Landay Teaching Gallery supports the Museum's teaching mission by providing a dedicated space for the study of works of art for courses across the Colby College curriculum. The gallery is an ideal setting to view any of the works in the Museum's collection not currently on display to the public but that may serve a curricular function as the subjects of close looking, comparative analyses, creative exchange, and new discoveries. Academic departments and programs that have recently used the Landay Teaching Gallery include American Studies, Anthropology, Art, Biology, East Asian Studies, English, Environmental Studies, History, Psychology, and Religious Studies.
For assistance in scheduling a class in the Landay Teaching Gallery, and for assistance searching the collection for works relevant to your course topic, please contact Curator of Academic Programs Shalini Le Gall (email@example.com, ext. 5622) at least four weeks in advance. Visits are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to increasing demand for the teaching gallery, it is advisable to propose several possible dates when scheduling your visit.
Faculty should coordinate with the curator of academic programs to finalize a checklist of works (maximum 10 objects) at least two weeks prior to the scheduled visit so that the objects can be retrieved from storage. To maximize individual student access to the objects, and to ensure the safety and security of the collection, classes in the teaching gallery are limited to 20 students at one time. Please be advised that this limit is subject to the quantity and type of objects you select.
When visiting the Landay Teaching Gallery, please observe the following guidelines:
- Professors must accompany their students at all times.
- Notes must be taken with pencils only; pen and markers are not permitted.
- Taking digital reference images of works in the Landay Teaching Gallery is authorized for educational purposes only. Educational purposes are defined as student use for assignments, research or presentations. Use of images for commercial reproduction, publication, or distribution in print or electronic media is prohibited.
- No flash photography or tripods allowed.

PARIS, Jan 11 (Reuters) - France's armed forces began a military intervention in Mali on Friday afternoon to help the government there stem a push southwards by Islamist rebels who control much of the north, President Francois Hollande said.
"French forces brought their support this afternoon to Malian army units to fight against terrorist elements," Hollande told reporters in Paris. "This operation will last as long as is necessary."
Hollande added that United Nations Security Council resolutions meant France was acting in accordance with international laws.

522 Postmarket Surveillance Studies
- In May 2008, the oversight responsibility of the 522 Postmarket Surveillance Studies Program was transferred to the Division of Epidemiology (DEPI) of the Office of Surveillance and Biometrics (OSB)/Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH). DEPI continues to build the 522 program.
- The 522 Postmarket Surveillance Studies Program encompasses design, tracking, oversight, and review responsibilities for studies mandated under section 522 of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. The program helps ensure that well-designed 522 postmarket surveillance (PS) studies are conducted effectively and efficiently and in the least burdensome manner.
- CDRH has established an automated internal tracking system that efficiently identifies the reporting status of active 522 PS studies based on study timelines incorporated in study protocols and agreed upon by the CDRH and applicants. This system represents CDRH's effort to ensure that all 522 PS commitments are fulfilled in a timely manner.
- In addition, CDRH launched this publicly available webpage to keep all stakeholders informed of the progress of each 522 PS study. The webpage displays general information regarding each study, as well as the overall study status (based on protocol-driven timelines and adequacy of the data) and the applicant's reporting status for each submission due.
- This link will take you to the DRAFT Guidance released for review in August 2011. Please bear in mind this is a DRAFT guidance:
