I purchased a Marmot Essence rain jacket a few months ago and have now had it in a significant number of situations to feel comfortable to give it a review. Construction of the jacket is very lightweight with minimal features. A single cord and cordlock runs around the waist with the cordlock located on the left side. I found the extra cord to get in the way whenever I reach into my pants pocket. A single left side chest pocket is small but useful for storage of small items (ski pass, mp3 player, et al). No pit zips of any variety are on the jacket which is a significant weight savings but does allow one to sweat inside without too much work. The hood rolls up and can be stowed with a velcro strap keeping it out of the way, but isn't a nuisance even if left hanging. It is a deep hood that keeps rain away from teh face well. The brim is slightly stiffened to keep it out of your eyes.I put about a one inch rip in the jacket having only owned it for a few months while backpacking two weeks ago. It ripped in a place would have been under my pack, leading me to believe I possibly snagged it on my pack. The fabric with a weave of soem sort of gridstop should be easy to patch and repair. The jacket repels moisture excellently and breathes perspiration nicely however when moving at a significant clip, w/o pit zips or vents perspiration will build up inside.I rate the Marmot Essence a 4 of 5 for how easily it tore, the annoying location of the cordlock and its lack of any sort of venting.
Rating: 3 / 5
I owned an Essence for about a year, and it never really grew on me. Lack of ventilation was not a plus, as was those annoying rubber sleeve ends. The best thing was the weight and packability.I ended up getting rid of it and picking up a TNF DIAD jacket. Small pit zips, but at least they are there. My version actually has pockets at "hand" level that are mesh backed for more ventilation. Also has velcro adjustments for the sleeve. A much better fit for me personally, and the weight tradeoff was insignifigant.

Thought this would be a good jacket for cycle touring. I was wrong.After less than a year the lining delaminated and disintegrated, and one of the zips broke. Marmot refused to repair/replace it under warranty.Avoid Marmot MemBrain jackets.Photos at http://picasaweb.google.com/chris2037/Marmot?feat=directlink.

Pro: Low weight (around 7 or 8 oz), high visibility, non-absorbent cuffs, athletic fit, nice hood, waterproof and just breathable enough. Full zip a plus.Con: No handwarmer pockets, single layer may lead to durability issues (none so far), latex cuffs not for everyone, athletic fit a bit snug with extra layers or PFD, will get clammy. Be careful with the zipper.Owned for perhaps three years. I have primarily used this jacket while paddling in 35-70 degree rain and enjoyed the high visibility and reliable rain protection while on the water, especially with the cuffs that don't soak up water with every stroke/take forever to dry. The low weight and small pack size allow the jacket to disappear in the pack. I would not apply this jacket for extended use in very cold weather or for very strenuous use in any temp, as in my experience it will not breathe adequately to prevent frost or moisture in inner layers.
Marmot has made a number of changes to this jacket over the years so criticisms of the earlier models are no longer relevant. My Essence is the 2009 model which has all waterproof zippers and it has underarm vents. The vents don't work that well as they are designed because they have flaps over them that larger block air flow. I snipped these flaps off, so my Essence is lighter and also vents better. I also snipped off the flap behind the main zip and I replaced the waist hem shockcord with lighter 1/16" stuff. My Essence (medium) now weighs 6.20oz instead of 6.7oz.This jacket gets 4 stars because with minimal effort I get an affordable, waterproof, well vented jacket for just over 6oz. The only other rain jackets I'd consider for UL hiking are the Marmot Super Mica and the North Face Triumph Anorak, which is a bit lighter since it's a pull over with only a partial zip. Hikers who put on a lot of miles may prefer the heavier (8oz) 2010 Marmot Super Mica with it's reinforced patches on the shoulders and real pit zips.Postmortem: The Essence worked well for about 4 years before starting to bubble and lose the membrane. It served me well.

I own the original version which I believe came with Precip Plus which I think was supposed to be more breathable than regular Precip. I have owned it for about 4 years. It mostly stays in my pack so don't need a lot of features as this only has a Napoleon pocket. It has worked fine in occasional rain but recently had a 2 day soaker and water was pushed through where the hip belt was which then wicked up and down. My upper torso stayed dry. It is time for something else but at 7.2 oz for a size large the standard is quite high. I think the later version with Membrain Strata probably would have not allowed water to be pushed through but BTW I had recently washed it correctly and added DWR so that was not the issue.
Rating: 2 / 5
Purchased a 2009 version of the Marmot Essence in October 2009 on some deep sale at REI (roughly half-price if I recall). It has a white (with gray pattern) inner lining (unfortunately, I cannot recall whether it is Precip Plus or Membrain). Specs for the current (2011) Essence model suggest it's 6oz, but my gear list says 9. I do not have a scale at the moment to determine whether that's a mistake or a decrease in weight since the 2009 model.The jacket has served me reasonably well for two years, but showed flaws in extended rain and durability.I have a size medium which fits fairly close and surprisingly has enough arm length for most applications. I'm somewhere an inch or two over 6 feet (haven't actually measured since HS, I think) and 160-something lbs.The jacket is nice and simple: waterproof zippers, one small chest pocket that will hold a camera+ (or the jacket itself). Shockcord hem adjustment usually works but sometimes the toggle slips. The cuffs are just elastic. I thought I wouldn't like this, but they've worked pretty well even though I can't cinch them down to my wrists or expand them to insert glove cuffs. The hood brim works well. The adjustments for the hood opening (cord around opening with toggle at either side of chin) work fine, but I find the tab on the rear for adjusting hood volume to be almost useless. If I crank down the volume, nodding my head forward and down can undo the velcro. Not a big deal though. I would call the hood almost helmet-compatible. I've used it twice with a climbing helmet, but it pulls the jacket up off the shoulders a bit and the closure is tight around the nose/mouth.There are no pit zips, but there are hooded vents under the arm pits. I have never had trouble with them leaking and I do believe they actually provide some modest venting in some cases. However, breathability is OK at best. Under heavy rain it suffers and even seems to wet-through (after the DWR has worn off).The lining shows wear in the waist and along the back (not surprising given my tendency to carry a pack!). As of about 6 months ago, I noticed small tears in the lining on the shoulders. These have since grown to be a couple inches in length and the lining has started to delaminate further. They leak plenty. Additionally, I feel drops falling onto my head inside the hood even in light rain, if prolonged and my whole forehead eventually becomes wet even with no exertion (i.e. not sweat or condensation). I suspect some seam taping is loosening here, but I have not pinpointed it.The actual shell fabric has survived just fine. No rips or tears, though it has not seen much stress beyond pack wear. (No heavy bushwhacking, etc.)In a 2-day heavy rainstorm on the Tahoe Rim Trail in late October 2010, the a fleece that I wore under the jacket became quite wet. Though I have no proof, I believe that in addition to condensation poor breathability (likely reduced further when the jacket wetted out), there was actual transmission of water through from the outside, especially near pressure points.My use has been backpacking and commuting by foot and bike in Seattle.If you will use the jacket only lightly and/or can get it heavily discounted, I recommend it for its simplicity and light weight. However, it will not stand up well to extended/heavy rain or long-term frequent use.

Having owned the anorak version of the Essence for five or six years I decided recently to buy the current model. The full length zip is an obvious change - the over-the-head style appears to have been abandoned this year - but that does add a little convenience and extra ventilation. Most surprising is that the old model (which has only a short zip, remember) weighs 212g for an XL size (approximately 7.5oz) whereas the new one comes in at 183g (approximately 6.5oz), both weighed on my digital scale at home.Other changes include the removal of the reflective tapes, which were handy as a cyclist but looked rather shoddy as they rapidly began to peel and crack with wear; I bought the new jacket in an especially eye-watering shade of orange to compensate. As others have noted, the underarm vents are of limited use but the new Essence seems to be more comfortable and a little less sweaty than the old one. The material feels quite different, much flimsier to the touch although as yet there have been no durability issues (whereas on my old anorak the waterproof lining wore away quickly in some areas and had to be fixed with taped patches).Cuffs are partially elasticated, resulting in a less than snug fit even though I don't have skinny wrists. The hood, as ever with Marmot, has a laughably floppy peak which does nothing to keep the rain off your face in a storm. The full zip bunches up a little when cycling (one advantage of the anorak is that there's no zip at belly level to ruck up like that) but has been more useful when hiking. Length is good, although overtrousers / rain skirt are needed for really serious weather.Performance in the rain has been excellent so far. I tend to "run hot" and find the new jacket to be by no means sweat free, but it does a very acceptable job of keeping me comfortable, certainly an improvement over the previous model. It's also exceptionally packable.
Rating: 5 / 5
I picked up a 2011 model Essence rain jacket on the clearance rack at TJ Maxx for a price that was literally irresistable. Grabbing it and taking it as fast as I could to the checkout line felt like stealing.It's a 6 ounce hooded rain jacket that stuffs into its own pocket. It's a 2.5 layer unlined jacket with Marmot's Membrane Strata PU laminate, which appears as a milky clear/translucent laminate film on the inside of the jacket. Fully seam taped.Single chest pocket. Elastic cuffs. Twin drawstring adjusters on the hood. Tiny pit vents under the arms.This thing is as close to a Trail Wind Hoody or Houdini jacket as you'll get in a 100% waterproof jacket. Fabric is similarly thin, but a bit stiffer and more crinkly due to the laminate. Still, very small when stuffed and very lightweight. My men's MED weighs in at 6.0 ounces on the nose.It's still a rain jacket and notwithstanding the usual claims about miracle "breathability", it's still going to be clammy on a wet humid hot day. But, it's so thin and light that it's a big comfort improvement over other rain shells, including a PreCip jacket or a GoreTex ProShell jacket.I wouldn't expect it to hold up to a lot of bushwacking or rock climbing. It's a 6 ounce rain jacket. If you are going to be hiking through the Amazon rain forest, then you probably should bite the bullet and take something a little more rugged. But, I look at a rain jacket as an insurance policy in the bottom of my pack. The less I have to wear it the better. But, it's there when I need it. When I've been caught in a summer squall in the mountains and had to hike with this thing, it's been reasonablyc comfortable. I like it so much that I sprung for the matching Essence rain pants (5.5 ounces). So I've a full rainsuit, tucked in my pack, taking up almost no room and weighing in at 12 ounces including the little ultra-light zipper pouch that keeps them organized for easy transfer from one pack to another. At 12 ounces, I really don't have an excuse to always have rain gear -- which is the whole point.

EU/US Transatlantic cooperation: Helping SMEs go international Julkaistu: 03/02/2013, Viimeisin päivitys: 15/09/2015
Helping small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) tap into markets on the other side of the Atlantic was the central topic of the fourth European Union-United States SME Workshop, held in Washington, DC, on December 3 and 4, 2012.
At the workshop, two business support networks – the EC's Enterprise Europe Network and the US International Trade Administration – signed a Memorandum of Understanding on promoting cooperation. Specific areas for cooperation include the promotion of SME events and business partnering activities, participation in sector-specific or thematic seminars and the exchange of information on SME networking opportunities.
'We must collaborate on how to help SMEs tap the full economic potential of the global market', said Daniel Calleja Crespo, Director General of DG Enterprise and Industry. 'If you are international, you grow faster, you increase employment faster and pay higher wages than non-exporting SME firms'.
The EU-US workshop is an extension of the objectives described in the Letter of Intent signed by European Commission Vice-President Antonio Tajani and United States Acting Secretary of Commerce Rebecca Blank in May 2012.

|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|December 2015 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
|Active Comparator: Single agent docetaxel
Drug: Docetaxel
75 mg/m2 administered on Day 1 of a 3-week treatment cycle by 1-hour intravenous infusion
|Experimental: Combination of ganetespib and docetaxel
Drug: Combination of ganetespib and docetaxel
Ganetespib 150 mg/m2 in combination with docetaxel 75 mg/m2. On Day 1 of each 3-week treatment cycle, ganetespib and docetaxel will be administered as separate 1-hour intravenous infusions. Ganetespib 150 mg/m2 will be administered again on Day 15 of each cycle.
Detailed Description:
Preliminary signals of clinical activity of ganetespib as a single agent have been observed in NSCLC. A novel approach to treatment of NSCLC is the combination of Hsp90 inhibitors, such as ganetespib, and taxanes. Such combinations have shown potential for synergy in preclinical and clinical evaluations with other Hsp90 inhibitors. Preclinical studies with ganetespib and taxanes have indicated that the combination of these drugs was more effective than either drug alone at inducing cell death, and an ongoing phase 1 study indicates that the combination is well tolerated and warrants systematic evaluation in a larger study.

Science, Biblical Criticism, and Double Standards (Sigh, Par for the Course)
One such scattered "gem," if you will, is mentioned on page 61 where I argued that since methodological naturalism "has produced so many significant results, I think it should equally be used to investigate the Bible, its claims of the miraculous, and the origins of the universe itself, and it provides a great deal of evidence against the Christian faith." [I mention this on pages 50, 119-120, and again on page 185].
What is methodological naturalism? It's a method in scientific inquiry whereby "all hypotheses and events are to be explained and tested by reference to natural causes and events." Dr. Barbara Forrest tells us that "a massive amount of knowledge" has been gained by using this method.
This same method has been adopted by historians. Bart D. Ehrman, as a historian, adopts this method when it comes to studying the Bible, especially the New Testament, his area of specialty.
The rise of Biblical Criticism can probably be seen in light of the rise of modern science which adopted the method of naturalism. Again, we've gained a "massive amount of knowledge" from using it.
Applied to Biblical studies scholars have assumed a natural rather than a supernatural explanation for the stories inside the pages of the Bible. Based on the assumption that the past is just like the present in which miracles don't occur, by taking their cue from the scientific enterprise that assumes a natural explanation for everything, Biblical scholars began studying the Bible afresh. As historians that's what they must do. Robert M. Price tells us that if historians didn't assume a natural explanation for events in the past they would be "at the mercy of every medieval tale, every report that a statue wept, or that someone changed lead into gold or turned into a werewolf." [Incredible Shrinking Son of Man, p. 20].
Many believers reject what these Biblical scholars as historians do, but why? Why is it that methodological naturalism has worked extremely well in every area where it's been used--every single one--but that when it comes to looking the collection of canonized books in the Bible such a method should not be used? My claim is that since methodological naturalism has worked so extremely well in every area where it's been used--every single one--that we should apply that same method when it comes to studying the Bible.
If believers don't want to apply methodological naturalism across the board into Biblical studies, then please tell me where it should be applied and where it shouldn't. If this method should not be applied to the Bible then why do believers hold to a double standard, allowing it to be used when seeking a cure for cancer (why not call for a miracle worker instead?), or to discover our evolutionary biology (why not just quote Genesis 1 and shun science altogether?), or to explain the weather (why not just do a rain dance?), or a crime scene (why not just cast lots as they supposedly did in Joshua's day?), or a freak tragic accident (why not just say God was punishing someone?), or a noise in the night (demons? angels?), but not when it comes to the stories in the Bible?
This is probably the crux of the issue with me. Without assuming a natural explanation in science and in historical studies we would still think God alone opens the womb, that sicknesses are the result of sin, that the reason we win wars is because God was pleased, and the reason why there are natural disasters is because God is displeased. Given these type of supernatural explanations we would already have the needed explanations in God so there would be no room for science, which is undeniably important to the human race for a wide variety of reasons.

Nearly three decades after an energy bust that forced 122 banks to close statewide, Oklahoma City is in the fifth year of an economic expansion that's produce the lowest jobless rate for a major metro U.S. area. Oklahoma City demonstrated it could support a NBA team, encouraging the Seattle Supersonics to move permanently and become the Thunder, which now draw crowds as large as the Boston Celtics.

great cap for coldish weather
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I like this cap for under the helmet riding, road or mountain. But, if the temps get down into the 30s, this cap just doesnt cut it. For that, you have to go thicker.
great head cover for cold rides
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I'm not a big fan of PI traditionally, but this skull cap is great. quality construction with nice stretch fabric, perfect thickness (or should i say "thinness") to wear under the helmet. sale price makes it a no brainer. great deal.
John Heineken
Pearl Izumi USA (based near Boulder, Colorado) designs GREAT cold-weather gear - including shoe covers, arm & leg warmers, gloves, and cycling jackets.
Application: Thermal cap for use in temperatures between 40-55*
Pros: Typical Pearl Izumi high-quality. Great fabrics. Great QC. The material is thin (but effective), so this fits well under your helmet. And this cap covers your ears, thus keeping cold wind and air out of your ears while you ride!
Fit? In my experience this "one size" Thermal Cap best fits a rider with a smaller to ave size head. I'm 5'10" and of medium head size (about 58-59cm). This thermal cap stretches and fits great (and covers my ears), but does fit a bit snug. If you are a tall/large male and need a larger size thermal cap, try the one made by De Marchi. It is excellent (though slightly more expensive).

Comments about Patagonia Merino Crew Sweater (Women's):
Love this sweater. I like that it's longer in the torso and fits my broad shoulders. Wish it were a slight bit thicker bc it's really too slim fit to wear anything more than a cami underneath it. Still love it though! Patagonia rarely disappoints!

Regarding the latest vulnerability discivered...
The rpm that is available for download from RH site is sendmail-8.11.6-23.72.i386.rpm and it is rather small - 304K.
According to the size I assume it a 'security fix' , not the real upgrade package. (Thogh they don't state it explicitly)
The only way I can apply it is using rpm -U option.
If anyone tried to apply this patch, can you confirm the following:
1. sendmail-8.11.6-23.72.i386.rpm available at http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2003-073.html is a fix and not the full upgrade package
2. It should be used with rpm -U
Sorry for asking those questions but I'm about to apply it to production box and I couldn't find instructions on teh RH site.
According to Red Hat's site, you should use -Fvh rather than -U since you are not upgrading the whole package. Using -F will force it to install only the needed/affected file to be upgraded ( and may be that's explain why it's small ).
I run RH 7.3 and use Up2date instead of patching so I'm not absolute on your way of doing it.

Robert John Riggins ... Kansas All-American ... No. 1 draft pick, 1971 ... Career record: 11,352 yards, 104 TDs rushing; 2,090 yards receiving; 13,442 combined net yards, 116 TDs ... Most Valuable Player with 166 rushing yards, 43-yard winning touchdown, Super Bowl XVII ... Had five 1,000-yard rushing seasons ... Played in 1976 Pro Bowl ... All-NFL, 1983 ... Voluntarily sat out 1980 season ... Born August 4, 1949, in Seneca, Kansas.
Running back John Riggins played 175 games in 14 seasons with the New York Jets and Washington Redskins. A Big Eight rushing champion who broke Gale Sayers' rushing record at the University of Kansas, Riggins was the first pick of the New York Jets and the sixth player selected in the 1971 NFL Draft.
He played in New York for five years but signed with the Redskins in 1976 as a free agent. His nine-year tenure with the Redskins was interrupted in 1980, when he voluntarily sat out the season.
The 6-2, 230-pound Riggins was not a spectacular running back but he was a classic workhorse ball carrier who specialized in the tough yardage in the big games. He carried 2,916 times for 11,352 yards and 104 touchdowns during his career. He also caught 250 passes for 2,090 yards and 12 touchdowns. His 13,435 combined net yards are among the best ever, as is his 116 touchdowns by rushing and receiving.
Riggins played in the 1982 and 1983 NFC championship games and Super Bowls XVII and XVIII and made the most of his comparatively few postseason appearances. He was the Most Valuable Player in Super Bowl XVII with a then-record 38 carries for 166 yards. He capped off his big day with a 43-yard touchdown run that clinched Washington's 27-17 victory over Miami.
Riggins rushed over 1,000 yards five times in his career and over 100 yards in 35 games, including a then-record six in post-season. He rushed 251 times for 996 yards and 12 touchdowns in nine post-season contests. Riggins followed his Super Bowl XVII success with a sensational season in 1983 when he rushed for a career-high 1,347 yards and a then-record 24 touchdowns. Following that season he was named All-Pro for the first time in his illustrious career.

Sunday Notes
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Sun, 04/30/06, 01:32pm:
Category: General
Posted by: Kevin Arnovitz
- Clipperblog will take part in The Big Show's "Spanning SoCal" segment on KSPN 710-AM Monday, approximately 5p they tell me. If you're tooling around town or on your way home, please give us a listen.
- Watching the Suns-Lakers game, Clipperblog can't help but feel good for Lamar Odom.
The hype on Lamar was that, once he honed he skills, he would be the truly indefensible player. At 6'10", he could post against almost anyone who would be defending him on the wing. But if you placed one of your true bigs on him, Odom had mad speed and ballhandling skills, and could take anyone but the quickest defenders off the dribble. Because he had limitless range, he had the ability to draw his defender up top, creating loads of space below the foul line for your other bigs or slashers. And if Odom decided to shoot from 20+, easy...he's got at least three inches on almost every perimeter defender.
And, oh...He can find anyone at the floor at any time. There's that, too.
When Laker friends of mine would bitch about Odom, I'd tell them that if their team couldn't put Lamar Odom's talent to use, then they should just mortgage those gold banner in the rafters right now. Those skills need only the least bit of massaging, and any organization worth its salt could figure it out.
It looks like that NaCl crystallized this week.
I'm pulling for the Lakers for the sole reason that I want the Clippers to host Games 1 & 2 of the Conference Semifinals if they can close out Denver; but a part of me is rooting for Lamar because it's fun to see something you observed as a seedling flower into full bloom.
It's not Odom as Pippen; it's Odom as the Lamar-we-were-sold-on.
- David Aldridge has an interesting piece in this morning's Philly Inquirer:
Would it make sense for the Sixers to send Iverson and Korver to the Nuggets for Martin and guard Andre Miller - who would obviously be expendable if Iverson came to town? Would Miller - sixth in the league in assists this season and one of the better defensive point guards - distribute the ball to everyone's liking? Would the presence of Martin as a defensive force next to him free up Samuel Dalembert to be all he can be? Would Webber accept a change in his role?
Looking at it, both teams would stand to benefit. The Sixers would field a starting team with two top tier defenders (Iguodala and Martin), two good defenders (Dalembert and Miller) and a guy they can probably hide (Webber) given the versatility on the defensive end of both Iguodala and Martin. None of these players can really create his own shot (with the possible exception of Iguodala, who still needs some polishing), but they'd start the season a top eight defensive squad.
Denver would have a projected opening night lineup of Iverson and Kobestopper with 'Melo, Nene (restricted FA) and Camby up front. And they finally have a 3-point threat off the bench in Korver who, since he can't defend, can be paired with Buckner, who can. With Najera and Elson coming off the bench in the frontcourt, and Boykins as a backup point/tempo guy, that's pretty fierce.

By TERRY WILLISGuest contributor
When I was helping with the Plein Air competition at the Helper Arts Festival, I had the opportunity to visit with the Artists who came in from out of the area. For some it was their first time to visit our community.
Several were fascinated by the past and visited with some of the locals to find out about our past. I was able to fill them in on some history I had learned about by reading books that outline the local history. I was standing by a couple of individuals who had lived in the county all their lives and they were surprised by some of the history I related.
I am not a Utah native. I have lived here about twenty five years though. I did not go through the Utah school system and have to take the Utah history courses. The two people next to me did. I doubt the Utah history class would have enough time to do justice to the past of each local community around the state. I also am more of an action-mystery-novel reader than a history buff, but I felt the need to understand this community that I call home.
I came here in 1980 and my first husband immediately went on strike with his union. I did not get the passion that the union had back then. And until I became more involved in both local and statewide political issues I didn't get what made Carbon County so different from the rest of the state. So I began to read.
There are several good books on our history and past. Some are more fun to read than others. I am currently reading the book about Carbon County that Nancy Taniguchi recently wrote. It is a bit like reading a textbook, but fascinating just the same.
There is also a great book about the labor movement in this county called "Next Time We Strike" that really helped me understand both the labor movement and our cultural diversity.
There are so many books written about our county that I have not read yet. I will try and get to most of them one of these days.
I feel that whether you have lived here a few years or been raised here and lived here all your life, it is important to understand the community's past. We can't live in a bygone era and fail to change with the rest of the world. However the past can help us make our continuing voyage into the future a unique experience that benefits us all.
Grab a book about our past and learn a bit. I think you will find it fun and enlightening.

AKWESASNE – The St. Regis Mohawk Tribe recent hosted its seventh annual Diabetes Center for Excellence Golf Tournament.
This years event marked the first year of being held at Cedar View Golf Course as in previous year, it was at the Malone Country Club.
Each year, a committee consisting of various St. Regis Mohawk Tribe employees embarks on an event aimed to earn as much money to fund the opening of the Diabetes Center for Excellence. This building will be one of a kind, not only for the community of Akwesasne but for New York state as well. Its reward will be a state of the art complex housing programs currently provided by the Lets Get Healthy Program.
The Diabetes Center of Excellence has to date raised over $539,000 since 2007 with community driven events such as annual golf tournaments, walk-a-thons, and an all-night party. Factor in other funding sources such as H.U.D, U.S.D.A., A.H.A., D.O.E. and the Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort, the Diabetes Center for Excellence is closer to opening its doors to the community of Akwesasne and surrounding region.
The Diabetes Center of Excellence (DCE) will focus primarily on diabetes treatment, care and prevention. An educational drive will also focus on the younger generation to learn the adverse effects of the disease.
Debbie Martin, director of Indian Health Services said, Akwesasne currently has the highest rate of diabetes among the Six Nations of New York. On a national level, our community also ranks the highest amongst all minority people.
With diabetes as prevalent in Akwesasne as it is, the need for a diabetes center quickly turned from hopeful to necessary.
With the assistance of numerous federal aid and grants, this building is nearly complete. Located behind the St. Regis Mohawk Tribal Police and adjacent to the Senior Center, the Diabetes Center of Excellence will boast many programs along with an exercise area and a pool specifically designed for physical therapy as well as rehabilitation.
In addition to programs, the DCE will offer specialty provider visits for the diabetic patients. Providers will be able to see patients for foot exams, endocrinologist appointments and for general consult, as needed. Another notable area will be a relaxation room for guided relaxation sessions in addition to the teaching kitchen, which instructors will be able to show and teach healthy living cooking techniques, specifically designed for the diabetic lifestyle.
Our goal is to care for our community and start us on a trail of healthy living and eating, Ms. Martin said.

When you spend all day (and most of the night) looking at the unfathomable number of red carpet and candid images, sadly, the outfits start to blend together. The fact of the matter is that in this media-hungry world, very few celebrities want to get lambasted for making risky, personal, inventive fashion choices so they stick to tried-and-true looks. This "safe style" culture only makes us admire Chloe Sevigny more, as her intriguing selections are always enjoyable for their sheer non-cookie-cutter-ness.
When we put today's What Would She Wear story together, we wanted to find some items that were reflective of Sevigny's multifaceted taste. One aspect of her style is prone to wearing ensembles that are on the cusp of eccentricity, like when she was snapped strolling the Manhattan streets in high-waisted hot pants loooong before the look hit runways. On the other hand, the dresses she selects for events typically have classic lines (even if she adds some slightly subversive twist), like the vintage Thierry Mugler Sevigny wore to the Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
With these disparate sartorial influences in mind, we incorporated the unusual, like the black patent leather gloves with chain detailing, and the timeless, like the sleek black clutch. Nicely, this means there's something for everyone. (Well, except for the preppy folks Sevigny grew up with in Connecticut. Sorry friends, no Jack Roger sandals or CK Bradley shirtdresses here!)
1. Sue Devitt Starbrights Lip & Cheek Palette, $35
Sevigny usually forgoes heavy makeup in favor of playing up her natural, tawny beauty. The warm colors of these sheer cheek gels and lip glosses reminded us of the shades she wears well.
2. Vanessa Bruno Fluffy Oversized Sweater, $445
Seen above at the Chloe S/S 08 show in Paris, Sevigny is wearing one of fall's most wearable items-the sweaterdress. Vanessa Bruno's light brown, angora and wool blend sweater has contrast knit hem details and an oversized shape that's in keeping with Sevigny's style.
3. Miu Miu Black Patent Leather Gloves, $319
Always an early adapter of the most interesting accessories, we could see Sevigny in these butch-biker gloves. They're not totally impractical; the palm side of the glove is black leather.
4. Wide Risky Business Sunglasses, $14
This year we've seen lots of celebrities jump on the bandwagon for this classic sunglass shape, but today's subject is the sort of style-setter who can transcend the trend and make the shades her own.
AKA New York Elastic Skirt, $189
Every wardrobe requires a few fundamental building blocks, like this black jersey skirt. The skirt has a perfectly-sized elastic waistband and the inverted front pleat is a subtle detail of interest. All together, it makes for one hell of a workhorse item.
6. Jeffrey Campbell Nicks Shoes, $96.95
As mentioned previously, Sevigny knows the power of an unexpected accessory. These Jeffrey Campbell pumps have a four-inch heel, concealed front platform, and are available in the above, bold Cheetah print.
7. Croco Large Clutch, $38
This affordable bag has ladylike bones and an of-the-moment size (we love oversized clutches). The snap buckle closure and back zipper pocket are particularly handy, and if black seems too basic, pick it up in purple instead.

GAVI Alliance support for civil society organisations in Ethiopia
GAVI's health system strengthening support to Ethiopia is US$ 76,494,000 for 2007 to 2009, and CSO support amounts to US $ 3,420,000 over a two year period from 2008 to 2010. The objectives of the GAVI Alliance for CSO support in Ethiopia are to increase immunisation coverage within seven regions, three of which – Somali, Gambella, and Afar –, have the lowest immunisation rates in the country. The focus of the support will be directed to hard-to-reach and marginalised populations.
GAVI Alliance support for civil society organisations in DR Congo
US$ 5.41 million have been approved by GAVI for CSO support from 2007 to 2010. The grant was channelled through an already established network of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) that then issued subgrants to other NGOs for
implementation. This has resulted in significant achievements within the first year of implementation.
GAVI Alliance support for civil society organisations in Pakistan
GAVI's CSO support to Pakistan amounts to US$ 4,587,000 over a two-year period from 2009 to 2010. The GAVI CSO grant provides an opportunity to improve the partnership between CSOs and the government of Pakistan. CSOs have traditionally
worked with the government on an ad hoc basis, with weak linkages and coordination between the two sectors at both the central and lower levels.

Both Sides of the Fence
Having spent roughly nine years of my life as a Christian minister for the protestant fundamentalist sect known as the Church of Christ, I am more than moved to tell my story and assist in the efforts of this fine blog to dispel my former religion, along with it's many delusions and vices that plague our world.
Little by little, the cobwebs of Christianity are being cleared away and centuries old philosophical junk is being tossed into the dumpster of antiquity where it belongs. The dust, which is the fear, guilt, and oppression of the Christian Cult, is continually being cleansed away, revealing a bright and shiny new surface beneath with each passing century. With Christianity out of the way, Man steps up to the platform boldly to speak and declare his chosen new destiny. He now has nothing to fear, nothing to hold back his progress anymore. The tormenting demons are gone forever.
Many people, wielding many different talents and abilities, make for a lot to offer the freethought movement. My small contribution here stems from having been a minister, educated and trained as a Christian professional, to answer the deep and heart-rending questions of life. Having left the ministry behind, I resolved to take with me what little wisdom I could. The change from minister to atheist was a difficult one indeed, but it made me who I am today, the result being I can now see the world from both sides of the fence - without those disabling and crippling mental defense mechanisms which annoyingly pop up in the mind, subverting objectivity.
I have always said that it is starkly amazing what a naïve, willing mind will believe in, but what is even more amazing is when the individual looks back on his/her life and asks that ever-perplexing question which seems to have no answer, the one that I now ask about my previous adoption of Christianity, "How did I ever come to believe in that?"

My, how times change. How many people read the headline and 'sneaker' and 'Nike' popped up first?
Some people have tried to fly that low in the US.
That is a cool piece.
I too experinced the thrill of flying below sea level over the Dead Sea. It was back in the 80's...in a Cessna172...with an EL AL pilot friend of mine. I recall the altimeter looking very strange dipping below zero feet MSL. I was never issued a card!
I like how you earn the right to ask, "how low can you get...and still fly?"
Really neat. Unfortunately, airlines have taken the fun out of flying nowadays.
Actually, you can't place all the blame on the airlines. The regulatory atmosphere worldwide has forced airlines to spend untold billions of dollars filling out incomprehensibly huge amounts of paperwork to show "compliance" with with the myriad of always complex, often vague, and frequently contradictory regulations that have been generated in the last several decades, all in the name of safety. No wonder airlines no longer feel they can afford to do things to help their passengers enjoy their flight!
Doesn't it seem as if you do *anything* at all, you are in violation of some law, regulation, or rule- and if you do nothing, you are in violation of others?
There were a number of factors that got us started on the road to heavy regulation. Back in the day (1956) there was a collision over the Grand Canyon that caused 128 deaths. The air traffic control system was not continuous as it is today. There were large parts of the country that had no radar coverage. Both aircraft were "off airways" and were IFR, but operating on "see and avoid" with no assistance from ATC. Both aircraft captains were talking only to their respective company headquarters when they collided, and had taken off from LAX only three minutes apart. More at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1956_Grand_Canyon_mid-air_collision. That collision was the first civilian collision that caused more than one hundred deaths.
Second was the fact that the FAA was created as a result of this collision. The first head of the FAA was a retired Army Air Force general appointed as the Administrator. He was Elwood R. Quesada, a three star general. Given his background you can imagine that he designed the ATC system that followed the creation of the FAA to be as tightly controlled as the one that the AAF used in Europe to fly 1000 plane bombing raids into Germany during the 1944 - 1945 effort. The resulting regs were modeled on the AAF's IMHO. Given the present tightness of the medical and other regs (personal experience speaking here) this collision and the aftermath are at least part of the reason that the regulatory climate is so restrictive.
Thanks George. You'd think he was serious about safety. My comment on 'violation' was more general and not specifically aimee at FAA. G'day.
That is a cool family artifact. I love that it was typed! Very formal. Very fun.
Very Cool....... Certainly one to frame and keep.
ok, now alot of photos are trash when people post them on here, but that is pretty freakn cool!
That's really cool. I didn't realize that a place that low even existed. I had to look it up. It gets down to -1388 feet. Crazy!!
Back in 1994 I delivered some new Harley-Davidsons to King Hussian of Jordan. One day we got to take a trip to the Dead Sea on one of his French made military helicopters. As we flew on the Jordanian side of the Dead Sea the pilot pointed out our 1000 feet below sea level flight. I don't have a card but I have the experience!
Sounds like a version of the "Turtle Club" from that same era.
If they dished out cards like "Passenger on first coast - to - coast Dreamliner" (or probably,more likely ".... first Dreamliner that didn't leak fuel or catch fire") passengers might just find something to enjoy in modern day airtravel. LOL
The card states that he is "entitled" to fly below 1,000 feet below sea level. It does not say that he actually did so.
