Frequently Asked Questions on Natural Capital Accounting (NCA)
GDP is the recognized measure of economic growth. Why change it?
GDP only measures gross output. It tells us nothing about income for the long term. It does not answer questions like Are income and growth sustainable? Will the same level of income be available for our children?
That's because GDP looks at only one part of economic performance—output—but says nothing about wealth and assets that underlie this output and the generation of income. For example, when a country exploits its minerals, it is actually depleting wealth.
The other major limitation is the poor representation of natural capital. Important contributions to the economy of forests, wetlands, and agricultural land are not fully captured in national accounts or may be hidden. Forestry is an example—timber resources are counted in national accounts, but forest carbon sequestration is not included. Other services like water regulation that benefits crop irrigation are hidden and the value is (wrongly) attributed to agriculture in a country's GDP.
It is in the interest of developed and developing countries to move beyond traditional GDP and start incorporating their natural capital into their national accounts to make better economic decisions.
What is Wealth Accounting?
What is Natural Capital Accounting?
Natural capital includes, first of all, the resources that we easily recognize and measure such as minerals and energy, forest timber, agricultural land, fisheries and water. It also includes ecosystems producing services that are often 'invisible' to most people such as air and water filtration, flood protection, carbon storage, pollination for crops, and habitat for fisheries and wildlife. These values are not readily captured in markets, so we don't really know how much they contribute to the economy and livelihoods. We often take these services for granted and don't know what it would cost if we lose them.
The concept of accounting for natural capital has been around for more than 30 years. However, progress in moving toward implementation has been slow.
A major step towards achieving this vision came recently with the adoption by the UN Statistical Commission of the System for Environmental-Economic Accounts (SEEA). The SEEA provides an internationally agreed method, on par with the current SNA, to account for material natural resources like minerals, timber, and fisheries. The challenge now is to build capacity in countries to implement the SEEA and to demonstrate its benefits to policy makers.
Why is incorporating Natural Capital Accounting into national accounts important for a country?
Natural capital is a critical asset, especially for low-income countries where it makes up a significant share (36%) of total wealth. For these countries, livelihoods of many subsistence communities depend directly on healthy ecosystems. Incorporating natural capital into national accounts can support better decisions for inclusive development.
Natural capital accounting can provide detailed statistics for better management of the economy. For example land and water accounts can help countries interested in increasing hydro-power capacity to assess the value of competing land uses and the optimal way to meet this goal. Ecosystem accounts can help biodiversity-rich countries design a management strategy that balances tradeoffs among ecotourism, agriculture, subsistence livelihoods, and ecosystem services like flood protection and groundwater recharge. Ecosystems accounting not only provides a tool to maximize economic growth but is also a means to measure who benefits and bears the cost of ecosystem changes, helping governments gauge whether their growth is inclusive.
How do countries put natural capital accounting into place?
Following the recent adoption of the System for Environmental-Economic Accounts, there is now wide acceptance of the need to put natural capital accounting into action. As a result, there is renewed momentum with finance ministries and ministries of environment who want to show the contribution of natural capital to national income.
Countries that have started implementing the SEEA have a road map to guide them through this process. They begin by establishing institutional structures with clear lines of responsibility and commitments across government departments. Rather than taking on the challenge of compiling all natural capital accounts at once, countries are prioritizing which sub-accounts to begin with, based on important development challenges facing them.
What is the role of WAVES?
The Wealth Accounting and Valuation of Ecosystem Services (WAVES) is a global partnership, which World Bank President Robert B. Zoellick announced in Nagoya, Japan, in 2010. It has been supporting a number of countries as they prepare to implement natural capital accounting based on the SEEA.
The WAVES partnership include the United Nations Environment Programme, the UN Development Programme, and the UN Statistical Commission; the countries of Botswana, Colombia, Costa Rica, Madagascar, and the Philippines, which are implementing programs; as well as financial or other support from Australia, Canada, France, Japan, Norway, the United Kingdom, and several NGOs.
The partners want to take natural capital accounting beyond the SEEA-approved material resources, such as timber and minerals, to include ecosystem services and other natural resources that are not traded or marketed and are therefore harder to measure. That includes the "regulating" services of ecosystems, such as forests for pollination and wetlands for reducing the impact of floods. A Policy and Technical Experts Committee, working closely with the processes set up by the UN Statistical Commission, has been established to take this forward.
Already, countries in the Partnership are making major inroads into developing natural capital accounts. Botswana, Colombia, Costa Rica, Madagascar, and the Philippines have embarked on work plans that have been endorsed at the highest level of their governments.
Isn't valuing natural capital really about privatizing nature?
Natural Capital Accounting is more about measurement and information—for example, how much water is being used by which sector. The objective is better government decision making, better planning using this information.
Knowing the total value of natural capital can help us better address poverty issues. Not knowing the value of natural capital is more likely to result in losses that affect the poor, such as:
- Lack of valuation of coastal protection services of mangroves led to massive conversion of mangroves to shrimp farms, with the poor losing livelihoods (from loss of fish habitat and other products from mangroves), as well as suffering increased damages from storms
- Lack of information about the value of forests for hydrological services downstream, livestock grazing for local communities, and soil retention services, has led to clear-cutting of timber and the loss of these services
The key is not only to measure the total value natural assets, but also to measure the distribution of benefits, how much goes to each stakeholder group and the dependence of each group on natural capital, especially the poor.

What he and the website are mostly known for these days are his "Opinionated ''Franchise/StarTrek Episode Guides"'', [[SnarkBait snarky]]-but-loving reviews of the ''Trek'' franchise.Since 2008, he's taken his reviews onto a video format on [[http://www.youtube.com/user/sfdebris YouTube]] and Blip (now defunct), growing in popularity. His style, a mixture of serious analysis peppered with deadpan humour played over clips from the show, has begun to catch on with other reviewers (including [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]], who borrowed one of his ideas, and eventually led to Linkara's own series, ''HistoryOfPowerRangers''). His site also features a few essays (including a history of how Franchise/SpiderMan has [[DorkAge declined in quality]]) and his (two trilogy, 250 chapter) crossover FanFiction, FanFic/TheUnitySaga. And now he's branched out some more with the ''{{Star Wars}}'' {{Gag Sub}} "Astromech Spy."Often compared (and paired) with WebVideo/ConfusedMatthew. Rather than having his own forum, CM has been kind enough to give him a dedicated sub-forum; particularly useful as the two have a similar fanbase anyway. He (SF Debris) also made a cameo in the 200th episode of ''Atop The Fourth Wall''.On May 12, 2011, ''all'' of his ''Star Trek'' reviews were removed from [[http://www.youtube.com/user/sfdebris Youtube]], as a pre-emptive measure when Creator/{{CBS}} (which has been cracking down severely on other ''Star Trek'' fan channels as well) filed a claim against his "Trials and Tribble-ations" review. As Creator/TheBBC has already done the same with his ''Series/RedDwarf'' reviews, under the Youtube "three strikes" policy, he now has only one strike remaining.He announced on July 29th 2014 that he'd been accepted to ThatGuyWithTheGlasses via the site's recent talent search. He officially started appearing on the site on October 11th.Following Blip's closure on August 20th 2015, the show went on hiatus.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Ricky Rubio has been playing better lately, and the NBA has noticed.
Rubio was added Thursday night to the player pool for the rising stars game on Feb. 15 in Houston as part of the All-Star weekend festivities. He'll join teammate and fellow guard Alexey Shved at the event. The 22-year-old Rubio played in the rising stars game last season, too.

WHO: Laura M. Dennis, 75, Brantingham Lake, was honored as the 2013 inductee for the New York State North American Fiddlers Hall of Fame in Osceola.
Mrs. Dennis, who began fiddle lessons at age 60, has presented three concerts at the Fiddlers Hall of Fame and performs regularly at fundraisers, weddings, funerals, county fairs, nursing homes and at church services.
She grew up on a farm near Ticonderoga, Essex County, and later her family moved to Katonah, Westchester County.
Mrs. Dennis and her husband, George, regularly vacationed at Brantingham Lake. After retiring, they sold their home in Columbia County and moved to Brantingham Lake but continued to go to Florida in the winters. But the couple plans to spend their first winter in Brantingham Lake this year.
Fiddlers Hall of Fame inductees, chosen by the New York State Old Tyme Fiddlers Association, are required to be advanced fiddlers who are known to have contributed to the preservation, perpetuation and promotion of the tradition of Old Tyme Fiddling through performing, teaching and sharing their knowledge of fiddling with others.
What attracted you to fiddle music? You began rather late in life.
I attended concerts at the Osceola Fiddlers Hall of Fame. Id never did any fiddling. I didnt know the first thing about it. But I found the music to be very rousing. The rhythms, the jigs and reels and the bouncing waltzes kind of whet my desire to learn to play.
As we came here more often, a local fiddler, Randy Kerr, had agreed to teach me some of his prized Irish tunes and some old-time fiddle tunes. We would get together on a weekly basis.
Any other learning methods?
Traveling to Florida, I ran into a lot of good old-time fiddlers, from Ohio, Kentucky and all around. We learn a lot by ear, from listening. Also, I taught myself how to read music.
How was that done?
I went into a music shop and bought a fiddling book and it came with a disc. I would look at the music and listen to the disc and I was able to put things together that way.
What do you enjoy about fiddling?
I find it very fulfilling and very important to share these old-time tunes with others so this kind of music can be passed on to future generations in order to keep this type of music going. Its part of our heritage.
Do you wish you had taken it up earlier?
I truly wish I had. When I see the young people today and how quickly they learn and how fast their fingers move, I realize it would have given me a jump-start.
But Im more serious about it at this age. I dont have to go to work every day. Im not raising a family and I have time to give to the music. Its a big part of my life and my husband is one of my greatest supporters.
He doesnt mind you practicing around the house?
Hell stop everything to listen. I go into my music room and suddenly I hear a little knock on the door with, Can I come in?
We live 30 feet from the water. Sometimes Ill sit where the view is greater, play, and hell just listen. If you see me, youll know my husband is never far. He likes to be right there and he drives me to all the events.
Do you have a favorite fiddler?
One of them, Ivan Hicks and his wife, Vivian, from Moncton, New Brunswick. They often do three-day shows, which we fiddlers call picnics. And during my induction, we had Donny Perkins from Chazy, New York. That was really great.
Where would you be without fiddling?
I really dont know. Im quite busy with my music. I play every day. I learn new tunes and perform at concerts, fundraisers, parties and church services. I also fiddle with several groups.

Chapter 2 - My Not So Average Life
"RILEY!" Lucas screamed for the third time
"I'm coming, I'm coming. It's a good thing everyone's out otherwise they would have found out!" I said finally emerging from my room.
"Hey! Don't take that tone with me misses, I don't have to keep your secret, I don't have to support you, I don't have to...."
"Okay Okay I get it, plus I do all that for you too we both fight ya know! Now can we get a move on before Killer murders us, well you!" I exclaimed, wrapping my coat around me tighter while jumping over the door and landing in the seat to my brothers new Lamborghini. Killer was also known as Boss, he was ruthless and run the street club that we went to regularly but secretly he had a soft spot for me, I don't know whether it was the fact I was a girl or I was his best fighter there but he liked me more than alot of others and the ones he didn't like.....I don't even want to know.
We arrived at the club around 10 minutes later, making us only 5 minutes late. "YOUR LATE!" Killer screamed as we walked through the air conditioned hallway, considering that it was 8:00pm it was quite hot out.
"Sorry, It's my fault! I took too long...again" I said re-arranging my face into a pout.
"Okay, just stop with the face already, Mamba (Lucas) your on in 20 minutes against a new guy."
"A new guy? There's never anyone new here....and anyone that is new doesn't go against Mamba first seeing as he's one of the best here!" I said surprised.
"Yeah well he's new in town and supposedly really good so I put him against Mr one of the best here to see how he does. If he beats Mamba then you'll fight him next time. After their match you have a fight against a new girl who wants to take you on"
"Oh okay then but I doubt he'll beat Mamba and is she mad?!"
"Well we'll have to see. Now go tell your brother to get ready." That's when I noticed that instead of being by my side like he usually is he was standing at the back of the room flirting with a slutty girl. Boys! I really don't get what they see in girls like that. I stormed over there, mad at him for leaving me to deal with Killer, and whacked the back of his head.
"Hey, hey, hey. What's with all the violence?"
"You left me to deal with Killer BY MYSELF that's what's up with the violence, now come on you knuckle-head!" I scowled while taking ahold of his upper arm. I was about to drag him away when a whiney voice exclaimed,
"What are you doing you fugly bitch?"
"EXCUSE ME?!" I screamed at her as I spun around, making her cringe away from me but she soon straightened up and came close to my face while whispering
"Look you sour old trout, I am a fighter and I can beat you to the ground in a blink of an eye so I'd watch it if I were you. I am here to face Scorpion."
I burst out laughing making her jump abut five feet in the air and place a scowl on her face while screeching
"YOU! *gasp* YOU! *gasp* THINK *gasp* YOU *gasp* CAN *gasp* BEAT *gasp* .... *gasp* SCORPION?"
"uhhhmmm yes that is what I said"
I straightened up and simply said "See you later then" leaving her with a confused face making it obvious she didn't have a clue who Scorpion really was whilst being dragged away from her by Mamba, we never used eachother's real names while we were here even if it was in out heads, it was never safe.
"So did you want something when you came over or did you just want to hit me?" He narrowed his eyes at me.

"Strong safety Bernard Pollard (6-1, 224), who has the speed to keep pace with Gronkowski and Hernandez, said the key may lie in being physical with that duo."If you look at them, sometimes they run downfield by themselves. We can't have that happen," Pollard said. "We have to have guys on them at all times. We've got to run around, we've got to hit, we've got to tackle. I'm a strong believer that if you hit, tackle, and hit people hard, people don't like that. A lot of people don't like that. Not to say that they're soft or anything else. I'm just saying that a lot of offensive people don't like being hit."
one of the many reasons i love 87; I can't see him shying away from contact.
I believe they could hammer, harrass and frustrate him all game - and this guy would bear down, and keep coming back, keep going over the middle, keep initiating contact - until there's a breakdown...
And then would come the spike.
Sorry Ravens. Just don't see you intimidating this kid. He'll eat it up with a smile.

The Seahawks' Pete Carroll was named NFC Coach of the Year on Saturday night during the NFL 101 Award ceremony in Kansas City.
Carroll, in his third season as Seahawks coach, led the team to the third-best record in franchise history (11-5) and the team also won a road playoff game for the first time since 1983. Carroll finished third in voting for the AP Coach of the Year earlier this offseason.
"We're proud of where we are right now," Carroll said in the story announcing the winners. "(Quarterback) Russell Wilson is one of the most exciting players in the league and could turn any program around."
Peyton Manning won his seventh 101 Award, as the Broncos' quarterback was named AFC offensive player of the year. Other honorees included: Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, NFC offensive player of the year; Texans defensive end J.J. Watt, AFC defensive player of the year; 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith, NFC defensive player of the year; and Chuck Pagano and Bruce Arians of the Colts were co-winners for AFC coach of the year.

On Monday I took part in a press conference with some of our politicians and Eddie Izzard speaking out for Yes to Fairer Votes. As those of you who read my blog will have noticed, I am supporting the campaign as a Vice-Chair as I believe very strongly that this is the most important vote that we have ever been asked to cast. The referendum is just two weeks away, a chance to make our democracy more honest and fair. I think it's great that there are politicians from a variety of different parties who support the alternative vote, but it really isn't about them. Our vote is the main way that we take part in our democracy. It is how we voice our fears and hopes for the future. We choose a person to represent our best interest in parliament, to voice our concerns, to put our position forward and to create debate on the issues that matter to us.
It has really upset me how the media has decided to make this referendum a political issue, focusing on the politicians and what this means for them and for the coalition. When this is really about us, how we have our say and our future. The Alternative Vote makes voting simpler, you can go into the ballot box and express your true preferences. With this system all our votes count, even if your first choice is not a candidate from one of the main parties. You can express which candidates you would be happy to represent you, in the order that it appeals to you. What could be easier than that?
We have just two weeks to go now til we vote in this referendum, and so I urge all of you to get behind the Yes Vote, talk to your friends and family, tweet, e-mail, join in with our local activists. Do what you can to make sure that we don't let this opportunity pass us by.
Here is the video from Monday's press conference:
The eco-fabulous blouse that I am wearing is by one of the most exciting ethical fashion designers in London, Ada Zanditon. I have been a supporter of Ada's work since I saw her at her graduate show at LCF. She is regularly featured in Vogue, and worldwide fashion magazines. This blouse is from her Spring/Summer 2011 collection, The Pyramora inspired by the stature of the Great Pyramids and the beauty and fragility of coral reefs. I have also written about her Autumn/Winter 2011 collection, The Cryoflux and her collaboration with ethical jewellery Ingle & Rhode to celebrate the launch of fairly traded and fairly mined gold on Ecouterre.

The reality of beginning the end of AIDS
A series of articles by guest writers for World AIDS Day 2012
Part of AVERT's World AIDS Day 2012 campaign, 'Reflections on the Epidemic' are a series of articles by guest writers.
Our guest writers range from global leaders, writers, experts, activists, physicians and people personally affected by HIV and AIDS; and they represent various countries, experiences and backgrounds from all over the world.
We are grateful to all our guest writers for their effort and the diverse and insightful viewpoints that they contributed to the world's response to HIV and AIDS.
You can also see all articles and writers in this series at the end of every article.
The war against AIDS is facing a critical battle between now and 2015, and it's essential that resources and attention are mobilized to win it. Victory will deliver an AIDS Free Generation, the first in 30 years since HIV was diagnosed and named. Much progress and momentum has been made, particularly in the last decade. Primarily through the work of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), more than half of the people needing lifesaving treatment around the world are now receiving it – 8 million people, up from only 300,000 in 2002. 2003 saw the peak in new childhood HIV infections, with an average of more than 1,500 babies being born with HIV every day. Treatment exists to prevent transmission, and it costs only 40 cents per day. The efforts of world leaders, the global health community, and local governments have driven the number of new childhood infections down each year, and since 2009, the number has fallen by 24 percent. Today, just over 900 babies are born daily with the virus, and by 2015, that number can be near zero.
(RED) is dedicated to helping the global health community in achieving the 2015 goal to end vertical transmission and deliver the AIDS Free Generation, a key benchmark in ending a pandemic that has taken over 30 million lives. (RED) was founded in 2006 as an innovative business model that would create a sustainable flow of private sector funding to the Global Fund while raising awareness of the fight against AIDS. By this World AIDS Day, (RED) will have delivered $200 million to the Global Fund – 40 times the amount the Fund was able to generate from the private sector in its first four years – helping to fulfil the Fund's public-private mission. (RED) money has supported Global Fund HIV/AIDS grants that have impacted over 14 million people affected by AIDS in Africa.
It is important to remember that sustained funding is dependent upon sustained interest, and so the fact that collectively (RED)'s partners constitute the largest business sector contributor to the Global Fund shows not only that the (RED) model works, but that many of the world's best companies and their consumers care about this issue and choose to take action.
"Noise generates urgency and action … the might of the global community can make the AIDS Free Generation a reality"
Though funding is critically important, the (RED) partners bring an even greater power to the fight. The world's biggest brands – such as Apple, Coca-Cola, and Starbucks – have stepped up and brought their marketing prowess, international reach, and social media influence to the table to fight AIDS. The beauty in this is that (RED) is just the spark that sets these companies in motion to innovate, collaborate, and amplify the goal of delivering an AIDS Free Generation by 2015.
But let's not forget that (RED) works because people want their everyday actions to have a social impact. In 2006, the private sector responded with offering (PRODUCT)RED items that when purchased, would trigger a company to give a portion of the profit directly to the Global Fund. Since then, (RED) has evolved its partnership model to give people more ways to be (RED) – for example through checking-in on foursquare at Starbucks or purchasing your favourite artist's concert tickets on CrowdSurge. Through 2015, you will see (RED) continuing to tap into the Zeitgeist to engage young people in the fight, whether that is through electronic dance music, online shopping, or social gaming … stay tuned!
Adding numbers to the world's ever-growing army of socially conscious advocates remains at the top of (RED)'s priorities. (RED) has amassed over 3 million members on Facebook and Twitter and regularly engages them to learn about the goal of an AIDS Free Generation and to take action. When the (RED) message is then amplified by the most powerful brands in the world and by (RED)'s celebrity friends, we have the potential to reach over 300 million people. Together, with advocates from government, academia, NGOs, and faith-based organizations, we can create a lot of noise. Noise generates urgency and action … the might of the global community can make the AIDS Free Generation a reality by 2015 and prove to the world that the war against AIDS is a winnable one.

Did you know that Ward 32 is home to 25 of Toronto's beautiful parks and parkettes? Even better, many of our local parks are vibrant community hubs run by volunteer park groups committed to improving our public spaces.
Councillor Mary-Margaret McMahon strongly believes in the need for community engagement to make the most of our parks and is actively promoting the creation of "Friends of…" groups for every park in Ward 32.
Park groups help to identify needed capital and improvements, and create the kind of lively programming that make our parks popular places to visit. In some cases, such groups already exist, and have initiatives such as farmers' markets, campfire events, arts in the park, and much more.
Click on the links below to learn more about our Friends of Parks groups and your neighbouring parks:
Park People is an organization dedicated to supporting these groups, and their website contains tips and resources for forming your own park group, as well as information about park groups throughout the city. Visit their website at http://www.parkpeople.ca/
Councillor McMahon also hosts park socials twice a year where park groups mix and mingle to talk about parks. Neighbours also get to share their ideas and concerns. An important issue affecting the tree canopy throughout the city is the problem of the Emerald Ash Borer beetle decimating the city's ash trees. For more information, visit the City of Toronto website at http://www.toronto.ca/trees/eab.htm
If you want to get involved with a group for your neighbourhood park, or become a tree captain to help with the Emerald Ash Borer issue, get in touch with the Councillor's office at (416) 392 -1376.
East Lynn Park is located at the corner of East Lynn and Danforth Avenue. It is well-known for its Farmers' Market and fall local arts fair. The Farmers' Market is certified as a "MyMarket", which guarantees all produce is grown and sold by Ontario farmers. Special park features include a wading pool painted with turtles by the local community, a gorgeous tree canopy, spectacular playground, popular toboggan hill and skating rink – something to enjoy all year round! Movie Night Under the Stars is held in August each year.

Fairmount Park is home to two baseball diamonds, a soccer field, tennis courts and a toboggan hill. The park also features a playground and wading pool. The park's renowned "Ice Masters" group of volunteers flood and maintain the outdoor rinks each winter, an institution for over 60 years and a wonderful example to skating enthusiasts around the city. The Ice Masters also host a superb Winterfest each year with local bands, games, skating, and even a wood stove with hot chocolate! Movie Night Under the Stars occurs annually in the summer. Fairmount Park is bordered by Beaton Avenue, Wrenson Road, and Gerrard Street East, next to Bowmore Public School and Fairmount Community Centre.

Located at the intersection of Coxwell and Eastern Avenue, Woodbine Park features relaxing wide-open spaces and an inviting boardwalk along its large man-made pond, complete with a fountain. There are gorgeous views across Woodbine Beach and Lake Ontario. In February of 2012, representatives from Toronto Park People, Trinity-Bellwoods Park, and the City of Toronto Waterfront Parks held the first community vision meeting to plan for continued improvements and beautification of Woodbine Park. The Friends of Woodbine Park group has planted daffodils extensively and helped water numerous trees in the park. Many city wide festivals are enjoyed in this sprawling park!

Jonathon Ashbridge Park is a popular meeting place for local residents. The Leslieville Farmers' Market has put this gem of a park on the map! From June to October, you can find most of your neighbours enjoying music, camaraderie, and Ontario produce Sundays 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The wading pool, playground and tennis courts are also a big hit! Movie Night under the Stars is a popular event. The park has lots of open spaces and big trees that provide great shade for those hot summer days.

Moncur Park, between Coxwell Avenue, Gainsborough Road, and north of Robbins Avenue, boasts a very lush canopy of trees. It is a fantastic location for picnics where kids can frolic in the grassy open field. When winter comes, residents enjoy the toboggan hills. The park has hosted various events including Movies Under the Stars. The energetic Friends of Moncur Park group has hosted an incredible planting project and a Paint the Park Party to help build community and revitalize the park. A new playground and mural will be part of the 2013 Parks Capital Projects!

A new design for the "No Name" Park in the Ted Reeve community is currently under review. The park is off William Hancox Avenue, north of Gerrard and east of Main. In July of 2012, Councillor McMahon, along with city landscape architect Netami Stuart, held a public meeting to discuss the conceptual plans for the park's future. Watch this space for more information. The fledgling Friends of No Name Park has been involved in dreaming up plans for the park throughout the whole process. A Naming Contest for the park is underway!

Norwood Park is located beside Norwood Road and south of Gerrard Street between Woodbine and Main. Tennis courts, old growth trees, playground, funky oval wading pool, long winding pathways, doggy park, and a historical clubhouse fully equipped with public washrooms can be found in this park! Movie Night Under the Stars was a big hit as a kick-off event for the newly formed Friends of Norwood Park group in the summer of 2012. Park improvements slated for 2013 include resurfacing around the clubhouse, a new shaded sandbox structure for the playground, benches, trees, and improvements to the dog park. The parks group is looking into creating an artistic carving out of a dead tree and showcasing a Norwood theatrical summer event component soon.

At Stephenson Avenue near Main Street, Stephenson Park features a wading pool, children's playground, a baseball diamond, winter skating rink, and beautiful rolling field. In the summer of 2012, local resident and artist Tak Bui had the idea of beautifying the wading pool by painting Canadian whales along the edges. He is currently working with city staff to create a plaque with a legend of the whales to be mounted on the shed as an educational marker for curious park users. Movie Night Under the Stars was appreciated by all participants who hope to make it an annual event. Landscape architect Netami Stewart has met with the Friends of Stephenson Park group to brainstorm beautification ideas for 2014. Plans are now being created and will be brought back to the community in 2013 for feedback and support.

Located at Gerrard Street between Coxwell Avenue and Woodbine Avenue, the Lower Williamson Ravine is a green corridor that has beautiful sights of the rare Oak Savanna and Cooper Hawk Nesting. The ravine is home to many rare trees and bird species. On May 5, 2012, Jane Farrow held a Jane's Walk to showcase "the wonders of the Williamson Ravine." The purpose of the walk was to acknowledge the importance of signage and maps to connect a safe community. Friends of Williamson Ravine have organized and cleanups. If you have never ventured here, stroll by and enjoy the botanical sanctuary that exists right in the middle of our ward!

Oklahoma State and Texas kept tacking zeros on the scoreboard, 14 innings worth, yet at least hinted of offensive excitement in their series opener back in March.
Ping has lost its sting in college baseball
Temporary excitement.
Big swings by the Cowboys suggested the big flies so customary at cozy Reynolds Stadium, prompting fans to leap from their seats… only to slump down quietly when the balls landed softy in Longhorn gloves for fly outs – routine fly outs.
It's a scene that's played out regularly this baseball season across the country, the result of NCAA legislation to remove some sting from the ping of college baseball's aluminum bats. That move, aimed at making the game safer, has created a power outage of sorts on offenses while offering a distinct story line to the season.
Home runs are down. Scoring is down.
Pitching staff earned run averages and game times are down, too.
"It's probably the biggest change that's been made in our game for 25 years or so," said Cowboys coach Frank Anderson, "probably since we started using aluminum bats."
The NCAA has traveled this route before, including prior to the 1999 season, when limits were placed on the size of bat barrels and length-weight ratios.
This time, in an effort to reduce the exit speed of balls off the bat and reduce the danger of rockets hit back at the pitcher, the NCAA mandated a shrinking of the sweet spot and outlawed composite bats, which could be altered for more power.
In technical terms, the NCAA came up with a Bat-Ball Coefficient of Restitution (BBCOR) rating for all bat manufacturers. The change was instituted for this season in college, with the National Federation of State High School Association adopting the requirements for 2012.
The results have been dramatic.
Comparing midseason statistics from this year and last, team batting averages, runs, hits and home runs have dipped. Power has been sapped, with home runs down from 426 to 242 at an early April checkpoint comparing NCAA statistics for the two seasons.
Locally, OU and OSU have felt the outage, too.
Last season, when the Sooners advanced to the College World Series, they swatted 105 home runs in 68 games, with five players bashing double digit long balls. Through 44 games this year, OU has 33 home runs and is averaging half as many homers per game.
Only catcher Tyler Ogle, who hit 11 home runs a year ago, is on pace to produce similar power numbers, leading the team with eight. Cameron Seitzer and Cody Reine, who popped 16 and 10 homers, respectively, in 2010, have two each.
"Last year, there were a lot more home runs on the team," Ogle said. "You could say it's because of the bats. I really don't know what to think about it, I just try to get up there and put the same swing on it as I did last year.
"These bats, they do have a little bit of juice. You can hit home runs with these bats."
Just not as many, in most cases.
"Used to be you'd hit it to the warning track and it'd be, 'Get in the weight room,'" said Sooners coach Sunny Golloway. "Now it's, 'That's BBCOR.'"
OSU produced one of its worst offensive seasons in recent memory a year ago, hitting but 55 home runs in 55 games. Still, this year is worse, with the Cowboys at 29 homers through 43 games.

Power Outage
NCAA legislation has sapped the power from college baseball's bats.
Changes aimed at safety have resulted in fewer hits, runs and home runs across the country, as well as for the Cowboys and Sooners.

Election 2003: The Gubernatorial Race
On November 4, 2003, Kentuckians chose U.S. Rep. Ernie Fletcher as the states first Republican governor in 32 years. His Democratic opponent in the general election was state Attorney General A.B. Ben Chandler.
During the 2003 general election campaign, KET produced documentary profiles of the two candidates as well as one-on-one interviews by Bill Goodman of KETs Kentucky Tonight. Chandler and Fletcher also participated in two live KET forums and made a joint appearance on Kentucky Tonight, during which they discussed policy issues and answered questions from viewers. KET also rebroadcast a debate between the two held in Owensboro and sponsored by the Owensboro Chamber of Commerce.
All of those programs are available for viewing online in RealPlayer®. Click on a title below to start that video. [Help with RealPlayer]
Kentucky Tonight and the KET candidate forums were produced by Deidre Clark. Renee Shaw and Bill Goodman co-produced the gubernatorial candidate profiles and interviews. The executive producer for KETs 2003 election coverage was Donna Moore.

On Friday, April 18th, the brothers of the Psi chapter donned their most ridiculously stereotypical frat boy clothing—as this lovely picture of our swagged out President Cameron Lundy depicts—and partied it up on the roof of 747 Gayley. Complete with chips and flaming-hot salsa, an impressive variety of sodas, red Solo cups, water pong and survivor flip cup (with soda), a stunning view of Westwood, and of course, the wonderful Psi members themselves, our frat party put all other frat parties to shame. A huge thank-you to Brotherhood Relations Officer Michelle Monroe for organizing this awesome event!
The Encore: Winter 2014 Edition
Hello all! It is my great pleasure to announce that the newest edition of the Encore is here, hot off the presses! (Or, rather, the computer transistors…?)
Feast your eyes on words proclaiming the news and happenings about topics such as these:
Beta Rho's candidate process!
Western District events from 2014!
Important current and past members!
Awesome service events!
… and so much more! So, for the low, low price of $FREE.95, why not read about your favorite musically-inclined chapter? You'll be glad you did!
Beta Rho's Third Degree
The past several weeks were filled with learning experiences and bonding as the Beta Rho candidate class proved themselves worthy of being called brothers. From visual video service events to cookie delivery fundraisers, from barrels of interviews to weekly educational meetings, from "Who are you?" to "OMG I LOVE MY BIG," our freshest new members of Psi have already made deep impacts on our chapter.
At our Third Degree ceremony, we formalized Beta Rho's official membership into our organization. However, we knew long before then that they were talented, zany, ambitious, motivated, and destined to make it through the candidate process with flying colors.
So here's to you, Beta Rho. May your contributions to Psi be myriad and recognized, may your passion for music and dedication to service flourish, and may you be the kind of brothers we all strive for.
Get pumped for WDC LA!
Hey folks! This year's Western District Convention is less than one month away, and the Psi/EK chapters at UCLA have been hard at work making sure it will be as fantastically fun-filled and productive as possible! Registration, convention schedule, and list of LA attractions are available on the official WDC LA website. We hope to see lots of brothers representing the Western District and beyond! Get pumped to Surf On Sound Waves!
Beta Rho's First Degree
The Psi chapter would like to extend congratulations to all of our new candidates for this year! The Beta Rho class passed through our First Degree ceremony on January 25. Afterwards, we enjoyed a classy, delicious meal at Hokkaido Seafood Buffet. We feasted on all-you-can-eat sushi, crab legs, salmon, and other wonderful dishes. To top it all off, a chocolate fondue machine added a layer of decadence to our evening (and perhaps a layer of fat to our stomachs). We appreciate all the alumni and district visitors for coming out, and we hope to see more of you on February 22 for Second Degree!
Tower Project
This summer, Psi completed its biggest service project in recent memory. Our previous band tower stood tall for over 25 years, until decades of rust, dirty waterlogged beams, and difficult maintenance issues made us decide it was time for a change. Once enough funds were accumulated through our persistent fundraising efforts, we contracted a metal worker to design and cut the structure of a brand-spanking new tower.
The real work began when the freshly-cut steel arrived at UCLA. The first step was to sand all the metal in preparation for painting. This was arguably one of the most labor-intensive parts of the project. Armed with nothing but a few sheets of 120 grit, brothers sanded and sanded and sanded until their arms were about to fall off, then sanded some more. Once this was completed, it was time to go over the entire surface again with fresh black paint. It was messy, and it was tiring, but at long last, the pieces of the tower were ready for assembly.
Each wooden step of the staircase, carefully hand-crafted and precisely positioned, gives the tower ascender a wondrous feeling of symmetry and mild euphoria. The handrails, an overwhelming sense of security. Each and every weld, so utterly perfect that you can't help but smile. Our new band tower really speaks to the determination and humble serving spirit that are characteristic of each of our brothers.
Psi members living near campus for the summer break invested countless hours to assemble a safe, structurally sound, and stunning band tower. So, next time you see one, give that brother a nice, firm handshake, look the brother square in the eye, and say, "On behalf of your band director, and college bands everywhere, I give you resounding and unending gratitude."
Band Camp Move-In 2013
The marching season is fresh upon us, and with it comes an influx of eager, excited new band members! As freshmen and transfer students trickled in to their residence halls the day before band camp, Psi members assisted them by moving belongings and answering questions.
That same night, the KKPsi and TBS chapters at UCLA hosted a pizza party for everyone in band. The line for Hawaiian style pizza was crazy long, but oh so worth it! With bellies full of cheesy, crusty Italian cuisine, the band members were finally ready for the crazy antics that would await them at band camp!
Special shout-out to Psi's Director of Band Activities, Nick Ambrosio, as well as Epsilon Kappa's Director of Band Activities, Audrey Urrutia, for making this year's move-in experience a stellar success!
Basketball Trips
Many brothers and sisters got the opportunity to travel with the UCLA men's and women's basketball teams to the PAC-12 championship games and the opening rounds of the NCAA tournament. They flew up to Seattle for the women's championship and bused out to Las Vegas for the men's championship. When both teams advanced to the NCAA 64, groups flew to Austin, Texas, and Columbus, Ohio. Although it's always stressful to miss school (especially since the trips were all right before or during final exams), everyone enjoyed traveling to cool locations, supporting our teams, and getting small manila envelopes full of per diem. Congratulations to the UCLA basketball teams and thanks for the trips!
Beta Pi's Second Degree
Beta Pi hit another milestone in their candidate process last night by completing the ritual of the Second Degree. Congratulations to them and their new big sisters. After the ceremony, brothers and sisters had a blast at a superheroes-and-villains-themed party.
Beta Pi's First Degree
Congratulations to our newest candidate class, Beta Pi, that just completed their First Degree! Actives, candidates, and guests went out to eat at Hokkaido Seafood buffet afterward. We stuffed ourselves on a delicious buffet that everything from sushi and dumplings to fried chicken and garlic toast (which was surprisingly good). Thanks to everyone who came and we'll see you at Second Degree on February 23!

Dexter: An Inconvenient Lie
(S02E03) As if the last two episodes weren't enough to make you realize how great this season's going to play out, Dexter's new foray into "addicts" anonymous is a brilliant storyline. And that it got Doakes off his tail is even better. Could a 12-step program really put a dent into the kind of addiction Dexter suffers from? Perhaps indirectly, it seems.
One thing that's so completely frustrating and, honestly, uninteresting to me is the Lt. Pascal storyline with LaGuerta. Obviously everything can't be about Dexter, and we need to make the other characters human, which is the only purpose I can find for this so far.
Anyway, Dexter is back to his more careful, investigative ways to lock down those deserving of his handywork. What makes this show so unique is how completely despicable Dexter's victims are, making what Dexter does to them seem pale in comparison. Like he said, how many more lives would be gone had it not been for him?
Great scene of the episode was Dexter picking up the SUV (sorry, minivan). Just look at that ample cargo space! Although he's trying to be careful, it was still pretty careless of him to buy that car and appear again later. If that body is somehow found, Dexter's all but completely screwed while this investigation is going on.
As we can see from the investigation of the Bay Harbor Butcher, Deb's better at her job than most give her credit for. She's closing in on who the killer is, which makes me wonder if, in the end, she'll figure out it's Dexter and somehow let him off the hook.
What's the verdict on the mysterious new woman in Dexter's life, Lyla from the meetings? My initial gut reaction is that she herself is a killer or is some sort of masochist. God, or some sort of vampire wannabe. The whole discussion about "the dark passenger" is direct from the books, and I actually knew that's what Dexter was going to utter when she went on with her story of addiction. Oh, and Deb's Rita's reaction upon realizing who Dexter's new sponsor is was perfect.
I'm not sure we were clued in on Dexter's past before as far as his Med school history (top of his class) and that he knows advanced jujitsu. I swear he had a harder time against his brother last season for a person who's skilled in the martial arts.
Dexter said in his speech at the AA meeting that "the mask is slipping." I wonder if part of that really indicates that Dexter wants to stop hiding, that deep down he wants to be caught.
Quote of the episode:
Dexter: "... and I need duct tape. Three or four rolls. Running low on heavy-duty trash bags. When's the last time I sharpened my knives?"

The countryside of the southern Piedmont is quite hard to beat in the Fall. Marianne and Ben were married on a gorgeous day a few weeks ago and the surrounding farms and fields made for an amazing backdrop to their wedding.
Again, we were honored to be a part of a close friend's special day. Marianne's mother taught me for a total of 4 years and is easily one of the most influential people in my schooling.
Marianne and Ben, we wish both the best of luck in the future and may you be forever happy!

Penketh residents will be able to pick up some bargains while voting in next months general election as their local Wynsors World of Shoes store will act as a polling station.
The Warrington Road store will open for business on Thursday 6th May at the earlier time of 7am, with part of the shop sectioned off for Penketh people to place their vote.
The store will provide an unconventional, relaxed environment for voting, as a more unusual location than the traditional venues of schools, libraries, churches, community centres and mobile units as well as giving voters the chance to browse the latest footwear offers after voting.
Wynsors managing director Mark Richardson said: Were pleased to be able to offer part of our Penketh store as a polling station. We all lead busy lives so we hope it will appeal to local residents to pick up a few footwear bargains for the family while theyre out to vote in the election.
Wynsors will be open from 7am until 10pm for members of the public to vote in the general election, and the store will trade throughout these hours.

Ashton Kutcher's American-themed restaurant in Downtown Dubai 1 Reviews
- Picture 1 of 2
Launched with the backing of Hollywood actor Ashton (for the alliteration-friendly combination of Kutcher and Ketchup, geddit?) this new spot on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard has opened with a promise of an all-American menu of steaks, burgers, smoked meats and five varieties of ketchup.
Tucked around the corner among other restaurants in the Boulevard Plaza area, we wandered into a fun yet modern looking set-up, cleanly designed in red and white. Although very modestly sized, the space had been used well. In addition to some odd red ketchup markings splashed against a white background on pillars and walls, the red and white theme continued very cleverly throughout. The screen used to partly separate the private dining area at the back depicted the American artist Jackson Pollock at work on his paint splashes and the row of lights hanging from the ceiling were made with an arrangement of red Perspex rectangles that looked like a pixelated vision of a splodge of ketchup.
The restaurant was hosting a respectable number of diners, aside from my guest and I. The staff were not ultra slick or impressive in their service skills, but friendly, welcoming and helpful. They were however able to pinpoint a few bestsellers on the menu and also had the initiative to ask the kitchen about questions they didn't have the answers to.
As for the menu itself, despite the concept (and main menu choice) sounding decidedly meaty, I was impressed to find that Ketchup had recently introduced a separate 'green' menu of vegetarian dishes such as bean burgers and stuffed potato skins. However, we opted instead for the fish sampler platter as a starter to share, which offered a collection of some of the better sounding items on the list such as crab and shrimp cakes, potato skins and jumbo prawns. It all sounded abundant and exciting, but on arrival, the plate looked fairly limp, like fried bar food. The jumbo shrimp were well-prepared, as were the crab and shrimp cakes, which contained a noticeably decent quantity of crab in them. However, the stuffed potato skins and stuffed, fried jalapenos were simply ordinary and the fish fingers were dire, with soggy batter and slightly under cooked fish inside.
For our main courses, we tried the New Yorker burger and the hickory smoked lamb rack. The lamb rack was pretty good, with tender meat dressed in Southern, sweet and smokey flavours that were full but not over done. It came accompanied with a mound of sweet potato fries, which were excellent. The burger, although not awful, was not impressive either. The patty seemed to be inconsistently cooked, and the other ingredients were not sufficiently high-quality enough to make up for this.
We also tried the selection of five ketchups, being a signature of the restaurant, that were brought to us (on request, but at no extra cost). They were laid out in a row, ranging from sweet to spicy, with maple, barbecue, curry, Louisiana-style and spicy. They didn't meet our expectations either, and in most cases tasted straight out of the bottle with a little added extra, although the waiter assured us they were freshly made.
Ketchup is not a bad shot for those craving American-novelty fare, but the skills and quality of food did not overwhelmingly inspire us to return.

|University of Southern California
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
|Known for
DNA computing
|Jennifer Adleman (b. 1980), Stephanie Adleman (b. 1984), and Lindsey Adleman Mussack (b. 1987)
|Paris Kanellakis Award (1996)
ACM Turing Award (2002)
Leonard Max Adleman (born December 31, 1945) is an American theoretical computer scientist and professor of computer science and molecular biology at the University of Southern California. He is known for being a co-inventor of the RSA (Rivest–Shamir–Adleman) cryptosystem in 1977, and of DNA computing. RSA is in widespread use in security applications, including https.
Adleman was born in California. He grew up in San Francisco and attended the University of California, Berkeley, where he received his BA degree in mathematics in 1968 and his Ph.D. degree in EECS in 1976. In 1994, his paper Molecular Computation of Solutions To Combinatorial Problems described the experimental use of DNA as a computational system. In it, he solved a seven-node instance of the Hamiltonian Graph problem, an NP-complete problem similar to the travelling salesman problem. While the solution to a seven-node instance is trivial, this paper is the first known instance of the successful use of DNA to compute an algorithm. DNA computing has been shown to have potential as a means to solve several other large-scale combinatorial search problems.
In 2002, he and his research group managed to solve a 'nontrivial' problem using DNA computation. Specifically, they solved a 20-variable SAT problem having more than 1 million potential solutions. They did it in a manner similar to the one Adleman used in his seminal 1994 paper. First, a mixture of DNA strands logically representative of the problem's solution space was synthesized. This mixture was then operated upon algorithmically using biochemical techniques to winnow out the 'incorrect' strands, leaving behind only those strands that 'satisfied' the problem. Analysis of the nucleotide sequence of these remaining strands revealed 'correct' solutions to the original problem.
For his contribution to the invention of the RSA cryptosystem, Adleman, along with Ron Rivest and Adi Shamir, has been a recipient of the 1996 Paris Kanellakis Theory and Practice Award and the 2002 ACM Turing Award, often called the Nobel Prize of Computer Science. Adleman was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2006.[1]
He is one of the original discoverers of the Adleman–Pomerance–Rumely primality test.
Fred Cohen, in his 1984 paper, Experiments with Computer Viruses has credited Adleman with coining the term "virus".[2]
He was also the mathematical consultant on the movie Sneakers.
Adleman is also an amateur boxer and has sparred with James Toney.[3]
He is also widely referred to as the Father of DNA Computing.[4][5] He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and the National Academy of Sciences.
Currently, Adleman is working on the mathematical theory of Strata.[6]

The Andalucia region
Andalucia is the southern most region of Spain and is full of interesting historical interest, from the great Moorish cities of Granada, Cordoba, Sevilla and Malaga to the smaller "white villages" that are very characteristic of Andalucia. There are also national parks, mountain ranges, beaches and ski resorts.
Its a great area to visit if you want to go walking , mountain biking, climbing or just to relax on the beach. The coastal resorts have some of the finest fish restaurants in Spain and the local wine is interesting! could you ask for more.
Although the first fortress in Comares was built by the Romans, its history is much more closely associated with the Moors and you can see this as you walk around its narrow white washed streets. Its a great place to visit and wander around, especially taking in the cemetery in its amazing hilltop spot. Comares is also famous for its local Panda de Vediales, this being the name for a unique brand of music locale only to a few towns in the Malaga area.
Llano Almendra, where Casa Granadina is located is a few kilometres from Comares. It is nestled at the foot of the hills that Comares sits atop. It is a very small village and for that it is a great place to relax and join in the local goings on. Chat to the neighbours as they work in the orchards, or share a glass of local wine and tapas with them. See my reviews for how popular Miguel, my neighbour is!

Diva dogs demand high-tech gifts
- From: AP
- December 12, 2012
A HOLIDAY present for Fido or Fluffy used to be an extra table scrap or a new squeeze toy. But as with gifts for their human counterparts, pet presents are becoming increasingly high-tech.
Like presents for young children who lack the dexterity to enjoy their new playthings, pet gifts are usually for the human who owns the pet. Allie Robino of Austin, Texas, bought a dog treat maker for her 8-year-old rescue mutt Bentley, but it'll be her baking the biscuits - not Bentley.
She bought PetSmart's Sunbeam Holiday Dog Treat Maker, essentially a waffle-maker with dog-bone molds, for Bentley when she took him to see Santa Claus at a Fort Worth pet store. Even though he and her other dog, Shiner, will be the primary beneficiaries of the purchase, it's mostly a gift for Robino, who admits to having problems making things at home from scratch.
"A lot of these kinds of things end up being more complicated than the company promises, but this was super easy to use and the finished product looked great. Believe me, if it were possible to mess up, I would have messed up. I'm batting zero on Pinterest," she said, referring to the photo-sharing website beloved by amateur chefs and DIY-crafters.

Will Smith's co-star Margot Robbie has come forward to dispel rumors that he is cheating on Jada Pinkett Smith with her.
The Aussie up-and-comer, whose film "The Wolf on Wall Street" with Leonardo DiCaprio is due out Christmas day, took to Twitter to stop the gossip:
Been working non-stop, just catching my breath. There's absolutely no truth to the ridiculous rumor in Star mag...
— Margot Robbie (@MargotRobbie) November 8, 2013
Been working non-stop, just catching my breath. There's absolutely no truth to the ridiculous rumor in Star mag...
Robbie added, "…It's disappointing that goofing around on set could be taken so out of context."
The actress is referring to somewhat risqué photos captured by "Star" magazine that show her and Smith in a photo booth, including one in which both stars appearing to be lifting up their shirts for the camera.
As previously reported, a source told "People" that nothing is going on between Smith and Robbie.
"The photo booth was on set," an insider tells "People." "The whole cast and crew were there and everyone was sharing all the photos being taken. They are just friends and were being silly."
Do you think Margot's comments are enough to dispel the cheating rumors? Does Will need to make a statement?
