Launched this month, the two-year Tanzania Albino Society Support and Empowerment Project (TASSEP) will work with the region's albino community to provide training in networking, advocacy and management from their headquarters in Dar es Salaam.
The project follows previous projects by ADRA Tanzania, including the donation of sun-protection products, prescription glasses and tuition support for albino students. ADRA officials said a follow-up project is expected to focus on microfinance, as well as the medical and educational needs of the albino community.
Across sub-Saharan Africa, discrimination against albinos is accelerating. Social stigma, physical vulnerability to the sun and poor eyesight contribute to make the estimated 150,000 albinos in Tanzania the country's most impoverished people group. Albinos regularly face ridicule, isolation and physical threats -- the body parts of albinos are valued on the black market for use in witchcraft, ADRA officials said.
"The community in general has not reached the level of understanding that we are all the same, with only a difference in skin pigment," Zulfa, a teenaged member of Tanzania's albino community, told ADRA officials.
"We all have the same needs. We are all human," she said.
As part of TASSEP, volunteers are expected to form advocacy groups to travel to key locations in Tanzania to raise awareness of the albino community through presentations in schools and churches.
Through songs, dramas, stories and speeches, the groups will seek to educate the public about albinism and increase support for the albino community, ADRA officials said.

LOS ANGELES, April 2 – Japanese master chef Nobu Matsuhisa has been tapped to prepare a special multi-course menu for an intimate group of guests aboard a luxury liner in an ongoing trend which sees major cruise lines enlist celebrity chefs as one of the star attractions for their sea odyssey.
Crystal Cruises announced that Matsuhisa (picture), whose restaurant empire Nobu spans 28 cities around the world and is co-owned by actor Robert De Niro, will travel with guests on the Rome-to-Istanbul leg of the trip this summer, where he will prepare an exclusive seven-course for a dozen guests in an event called the Ultimate Vintage Room Dinner.
Matsuhisa's voyage sails off July 13.
The special one-off dinner comes at an additional cost of US$1,000 (RM3,088).
Matsuhisa will also be available for autograph sessions and cooking classes and prepare larger omakase dinners – in which diners surrender the tasting menu entirely to the chef – throughout the voyage.
A second luxury dinner will also be hosted by Napa Valley vintners Bo and Heidi Barrett on the Istanbul-to-Barcelona leg of the trip.
Another hotly anticipated cruise for gourmands is Bravo's Top Chef: The Cruise, set to sail this month from Key West, Florida. The five-day cruise docks in Cozumel, Mexico and will recreate the US reality series on the high seas, as it will be hosted by Gail Simmons and Tom Colicchio.
Participating chefs include Hubert Keller, and Tim Love, as well as popular 'chefestants' such as Richard Blais, Michael Isabella, Spike Mendelsohn, and the latest winner of the cooking competition, Kristin Kish.
Top Chef: The Cruise departs from Florida April 11 and will feature private cooking lessons and cooking demonstrations with the chefs.
Norwegian Cruise Lines has also tapped US food celebrity George Zakarian, winner of "The Next Iron Chef," to create the menu for its seafood restaurant on a Grammy-themed cruise next year.
Celebrity Cruises also partnered with The Food Network in 2010 for appearances by former Iron Chef America chef Cat Cora and Aaron Sanchez of "Chefs vs. City." – AFP/Relaxnews

- Compost
Here is a picture of second graders at Germantown Academy making compost for the vegetable and herb gardens at school. They are mixing leaves, vegetables and fruit from the cafeteria and manure in order to make the compost. When the temperature reaches 65 C they will turn the compost. They are keeping track of the temperature everyday. The heat will kill the pathogens and seeds. The compost will be come soil in 21 days. The students were assisted by Dr Elaine Inghams and Richard Mitchell from the Rodale Institute.

This week is National Safe Boating Week. The campaign is aimed at reducing boating deaths and accidents by raising awareness about boat safety.
Number one on the list: always wear your life jacket.
Some other reminders: never boat under the influence, take a boating safety course, and get a free vessel safety check.
A vessel safety check takes less than 15 minutes, and the Coast Guard Auxiliary will be doing those free from 9am to 1pm at the Tahoe City boat ramp on May 26th.
You'll get a vsc sticker for 2012, so you can put it on your boat to let law enforcement know you've passed the safety check.
Also big on memorial day weekend is parties, and police across the state and even in California are cracking down on drunk drivers.
There are going to be checkpoints in the city of Lake Tahoe throughout the weekend.
Law enforcement says in the summer months, they do see a rise in DUI deaths and injuries.
If you do see a driver weaving, crossing the center line, or a driver is slow to start at a green light report them immediately by calling 911.
Also remember, you can get a DUI on the water.

Welcome to your free online Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) examination resource. I would like to congratulate you for deciding to pursue this prestigious credential! Today, more than 20,000 individuals from a variety of academic and professional backgrounds hold the CSCS. This group includes strength coaches, physical therapists, athletic trainers, physicians, chiropractors, personal trainers, researchers, and educators.
At CSCStestprep.com you can find everything you need to help you earn your NSCA CSCS credential. I will provide examination content review, practice questions, and recommend study guides to help you succeed. If you do not know what to do next, please click a link below so I can begin to help you.
While an exercise science related degree provides the ideal background from which a candidate may begin to prepare for the CSCS exam, a significant amount of candidates pass the exam from non exercise related backgrounds. Luckily, the CSCS exam has an official reference text from the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning is the preparation text for the CSCS exam. If you have not done so already, please obtain and read this text. Let me be clear, for most candidates, regardless of academic background, it would be unwise to sit for this exam without first reading Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning. To learn more about this text, please click here.
Please see the FAQ for answers to common questions about the CSCS.
Best of luck to all the test takers,
Ryan Grella

There's hope for Ducati and hopefully they can bring a good fight to Honda. I think Casey will win again but, Ducati need a win also and Hayden is looking good at the moment.

I will try to make this short but detailed. My tiburon overheated and blew the head gasket. I got the head milled to.007 and replaced the head, intake and exhaust gaskets, thermostat, etc. I made marks for the timing belt, but I didn't get it back together correctly and the timing was way off. It was backfiring out of the intake at first, so I changed it a couple more times. It is starting now and running, but it is making a bit of a knocking noise now when it is running. I checked comprerssion also and the 1, 2 and 4 cylinder were all relatively the same. The 3rd cylinder, however has compression, but not quite as much and it makes a fairly loud hiss out of the top of the spark plug hole when I am checking compression on the other cylinders. The 3rd is the only one that is doing this. Did I damage the valves when I had the timing screwed up and does this mean I get to pull the head off again and replace the valves? That ended up being a little long winded, sorry. Oh yah, this is a 2001 Tiburon. Thanks

I am a fairly recent retiree, having retired in 2010, and am feeling ashamed of Congress and their attitude toward us older Americans. I object to the tendency to refer to Social Security and Medicare as entitlements. I worked since I was 16 years old and have paid S.S. tax for 53 years, and Medicare tax since its inception. Both S.S. and Medicare are my right as an older American, not an entitlement.
Changing any part of these two programs as part of a last-minute budget deal would be a disgrace. We need a well-thought-out, bipartisan plan that will be appropriate for at least the next 50 years so older Americans can live with good health and dignity.

I can't wait to see what happens in season 4 and see if things get better throughout each event. =]
This is some wow-ish show of Candace but I'm mostly interested about vampire diaries and I can't wait for season 4. =]
I know for sure that Elena becoming a vampire could give her some time to remember things but I can't wait for season 4. =)
This episode made me feel sorry for Elena,freaked out with Tyler and Caroline's relationship,and see how terrible things get to ruin Elena's birthday. It kind of reminds me of New Moon on Bella's birthday when she was almost killed by Jasper and ruining her birthday. =|
This episode always annoys me with Klaus and his dumb hybrid army and he thinks that this army will solve all his problems. This is why Klaus should get lost sometimes. ;P
Some episodes may involve flashbacks but some can go pretty crazy to bring them to the present but we'll see how things go as each episode passes. ;P
Some parts were depressing,others were insane but we'll see how things turn out with each character as each episode passes. =O
This episode had wild events with Bonnie wanting to take Klaus down but I want him to get lost with his mischief. ;|
This episode had minor issues when it feels like a new school year but I hope that things can be set straight again. ;|
Jeremy may seem like a crazy ghost follower but it could help out his friends with their problems especially if they involve getting into problems. =O

Logperch - Common name
Percina caprodes - Scientific name
Family - Percidae (walleye, perch and darter)
Status : S3, G5
IDENTIFICATION: The logperch reaches up to 7.25 inches (180 mm) in length. It has a yellow-brown back and several vertical bars across its side that alternate in length and join the bars on the other side of the fish. The logperch has two dorsal fins, the first fin has spiny rays whereas the second ray has soft rays. It has a black spot at the base of its rounded tail and a dusky-colored teardrop. The logperch has no scales on the head and northern populations do not have scales along the nape . The logperch is in the same family as the walleye and yellow perch.
SIMILAR SPECIES FOUND IN SOUTH DAKOTA: The logperch looks similar to other darter species, particularly the blackside darter , which is another rare fish in South Dakota. The logperch can be distinguished from other darters in that it is the only darter in South Dakota that has a conical pointed snout that projects past the upper jaw. The blackside darter has dark blotches on the side and its snout does not project beyond the upper jaw. The blackside darter has a fully scaled gill covering , whereas the logperch has no scales on its head.
HABITS AND HABITAT: In South Dakota this species has only been found in vegetated lakes.
DISTRIBUTION: Distribution Map The distribution of the logperch extends from Saskatchewan east to Quebec in Canada and as far south as Texas and western Florida. Eastern South Dakota is on the very western edge of this species' range. It has been found in Blue Dog Lake and Waubay Lake on the Big Sioux Cotteaux in Day County, and in the Big Sioux River Basin in Lake Kampeska in Codington County.
CAUSES OF CONCERN AND CONSERVATION MEASURES: The logperch is rare in South Dakota because it is at the western-most extent of its range. The few existing populations in South Dakota appear to be healthy.

And now that the "Wanderlust" co-stars are living together in a Hollywood Hills, Calif., rental -- and prepping to move into a massive, $21 million home in the Bel Air section of Los Angeles -- Aniston, 43, continues to open up about why Theroux, 40, is a keeper.

"He's a protector, for sure," Aniston tells the May issue of Marie Claire Australia (excerpted in Just Jared) of actor and screenwriter Theroux. "He's just a good human being, and so funny."
As reported by Us Weekly last year, Aniston and Theroux first fell in love while making "Wanderlust" in rural Georgia in fall 2010; at the time, Theroux still had a long-time live-in girlfriend, Heidi Bivens.
PHOTOS: Jen and Justin's matching style
Aniston told Marie Claire Australia said she "began decompressing" during the secluded shoot. "It's weird, but it felt like living a normal life; almost like having your anonymity back. Nobody bothered us and we were protected as a group."
The stunning star famously shot a topless scene for the raunchy comedy, which was a box office and critical bomb in the U.S. earlier this year.
PHOTOS: Why 2011 was Jen's best year ever
"There are always nerves when you shoot a scene like that," she admitted. "But the adrenaline takes you through it and then you have the girls come in and cover you up immediately."

Brilliant solutions are more than just answers to problems. They are catalysts of hope, beacons for those who believe in a better world. Shining brightly, the best solutions beckon thousands to take notice, to recognize the call to action and to make a difference.
But once we are inspired to change things for the better, where do we go from there? How do we learn to make a difference in the world? From Amsterdam to Ontario, Vancouver to Southern California, universities and colleges around the world are reshaping their education models to integrate theories of sustainability into every school of thought. They are building new majors and adjusting traditional ones to prepare their students to be the smart thinkers, brilliant builders and cunning innovators that we'll need to transition into a more prosperous world.
My own desire to make a difference was sparked just a few months into my first year of college, when I quickly learned that the world was much bigger, and in much more trouble than I realized. I teetered on the edge of my desk chair, scrawling down details as my professors taught me about how realities like overpopulation, the sixth extinction, climate change and resource depletion have been changing the world. I pored over classics from Leopold to Abbey, Carson to Thoreau, and attended lectures, meetings and rallies. I started to see more clearly how our society's actions were affecting the air, land, water and other creatures. For the first time, I began to question my role as a person on this planet. Even from my desk, I could see that the planet needed help, we needed help – and I wanted to be a part of whatever movement was going to create change.
The university I was attending didn't offer many options in environmentally focused majors outside of wildlife biology. So, I transferred schools and changed my major to get the skills and knowledge I needed to prepare me for a job where I could help, where I could feel like I was making a difference.
And as I've found out, more and more students are doing the same. For the past few weeks, I've been researching how students are demanding that their universities provide them with the skills they will need to help build a better world. They are realizing that in order to have the knowledge and tools for the jobs they want in the 21st century, they're going to have to integrate ideas of sustainability, ecology and social justice into whatever field they pursue.
From business to biology, traditional fields of study are transforming to give students who want to make a difference the knowledge they'll need to become part of the sustainability revolution. But this revolution is not like the ones that came before. It will not be characterized by weapons or singular voices, but with knowledge and cohesiveness; with educated change makers, ready to fill the niches of the bright green revolution.
This is the first piece in a series dedicated to helping people who want to make a difference find their niche. During the course of the week we'll delve into different areas of study, from global health to sustainable technology, to show how anyone can make any major make a difference.
So you want to make a difference?
To make the transition to a sustainable world, we'll need an army of sustainability-minded revolutionaries. We'll need scientists to record what's happening in the forests and oceans, prairies and deserts, to plan for the future and to work on restoring and conserving what's left. We'll need builders and designers to help reconstruct our cities and their systems. We'll need mechanics and engineers to construct new technological and energy systems. More than ever before we'll need a team of people working on social justice, humanitarian rights and fairness issues, holding the world to a higher level of accountability. And last but not least, we'll need hordes of artists, musicians and creative types to paint life with that delectably unique human essence.
From architecture to engineering, fields of study are incorporating sustainability theories in order to give students the knowledge they'll need to become part of this revolution.
What follows are some examples of universities around the globe where students can earn a solid sustainability-related degree. I searched to find institutions with leading programs in game-changing fields like Sustainable Design, Holistic Wellness, Environmental Education and Conservation Biology.
Click below to check out the articles we have published so far:
Building Better Energy Systems: Sustainable Engineering
Nourishing a Healthy Society: Public Health and Wellness
Protecting the future: Environmental Law
Redefining Progress: Sustainable Development
Monitoring and Maintaining the Earth: Conservation Biology
Inspired to Teach: Environmental Education
Bringing Sustainability to Business
We'll add to that list each day this week, each article identifying a specific school's degree program along with other universities offering similar majors, and reviews of resources for learning more about each field.
We know there are many schools out there working to expand their programs, and we'd love to hear about any you are attending or have attended. And even more so, please let us know about the yet-undeveloped fields of study you imagine shaping the minds of the new, bright green frontier.

I am thrilled to see this thread. At Middlebury, where I teach, I have developed a concept called opens-source learning. It's elements include:
Non-hierarchical learning
Learning in groups
Learning via networks
Knowledge creation in real time
Knowledge creation for the common good
I have put this model to work in many of my classes: for example, my current seminar, "21st century Global Challenges," documented here. http://blogs.middlebury.edu/21stcenturychallenges/
I look forward to learning more from this thread.
I have been trying to find this kind of resource for months now. I earned a B.A. in political science a few years ago and I want very badly to pursue a graduate degree that will allow me to help drive and shape the inevitable adoption of "green" technologies, economies and philosophies. Using William McDonough as an inspiration, I see "sustainability" not so much as the sustaining of our present environment but rather continuing to grow economically by working with nature rather than exploiting it. The idea of technical metabolism is profound.
Unfortunately I have all this enthusiasm, but no money, little skill and utter confusion as to what fields to look into. I look forward to these articles helping me out.
Great post!
Just be careful when wielding the words 'social justice'.
PH - I have a BA in Political Science, also.
I'm currently at the University of British Columbia's School of Community and Regional Planning getting an MA in Planning. UBC's planning program is unique in that it integrates planning into the program. To illustrate, the school's vision is to achieve sustainability through the democratization of planning. Bill Rees - the inventor of the ecological footprint - is a professor here.
Vancouver is a great place to be studying as it's the most livable place in the world and is world-renowned for great and progressive planning.
Planning is definitely an important sustainability degree to mention, because how we renew old areas, build new cities, and shape the growth of current cities directly impacts our consumption, construction, transportation, and demographic patterns, which are primary causes of resource use!
In Belgium, I'm a guest professor at Group T Engineering College, and I teach a course called "Holistic approach to engineering" to first year students. This course is also given at 2nd and 3rd year students.
The books I use to guide this course are Natural Capitalism, Seven habits of highly effective people and the TNEP course on Whole System Design.
At Group T we believe Engineers have a major role to play in reinventing our business model and shaping our future. Engineers/change agents — with insight into the major challenges the world is facing, and the skills to help transform these challenges into the foundations of a more sustainable, profitable, and desirable societal model.
We think that in order to be able to implement this new business model, engineers will also need to be equipped to overcome the personal and interpersonal obstacles associated with change. We describe one approach to deal with these, describing several characteristics such as self-awareness or self-knowledge; imagination and conscience; will power; abundance mentality; courage and consideration and creativity.
It's a difficult audience to reach, but we follow up with second semester projects in which teams of 2 to 4 students investigate whole system design solutions to presssing problems, and present it to the class in a short, vulgarizing paper and a 1 minute 'elevator pitch'.
Where you really need these kinds of resources are in the middle schools and lower. None of the teachers at this level KNOW HOW TO TEACH THIS, but this is where all the habits of later life — and the habits which are a source of adult happiness — get set.
Bring these people who know how to do this to us! Please.
what about economics?
You should take a look at thew University of St Andrews, in Scotland. I'm currently getting a degree there in Sustainable Development, and the program has won awards for its excellence, as well as perhaps being the only degree of its kind in Europe.
Sorry about the poor spelling above, I should have re-read it before posting!
I agree with Matt, what about economics? I am having trouble finding many educational resources in that subject, but I am sure there are some and it interests me.
Very interesting series. Thanks for doing this, it reminds me of the great exchange about MBA programs on this site last year.
You might be interested in the recent report by the Aspen Institute on academic sustainability centers. I just read about it in the current issue of Environmental Finance. Students who are thinking of choosing among them may wish to consider the same kind of things the authors determined to govern the success (and shortcomings) of these centers.
Have a look at the report at:
Thanks for the shout-out to the artists. I'm a solo performer currently touring a comedy about the First Lady of the US launching a nationwide sex strike to combat global warming.
I've been to over 20 cities in the US and UK, and it's abundantly clear to me that people need an opportunity to laugh in the face of the abyss, as well as hear their fears and hopes spoken out loud.
Keep the faith, everyone! So much is possible!
We are delighted to report that Baldwin-Wallace College in Berea Ohio has just introduced a new interdisciplinary undergraduate degree in sustainability. It draws upon courses from the sciences, social sciences, humanities, and business, and includes a sustainability internship, an interdisciplinary, project-based capstone course and assignment of a professional mentor in the field. The major is gaining great traction at our college
Have a look at the programs offered by the University of Waterloo Faculty of Environment in Ontario Canada. They have seen an 80% jump in the enrollment for their Environment and Business diploma program. That is the kind of action that will lead to change from within the system.
Sustainability concepts are spreading through curricula most deeply than merely degree programs focused on sustainability. Ultimately, sustainability principles need to permeate every program, every degree, and every class. For example, at CCA, sustainability has been a valuable part of the curriculum for over 15 years, with specific courses focused on it as well as its principles being integrated into all kinds of courses.
CCA has explored the possibility of creating a Sustainable Design degree but we've realized that this is, at best, a transitional strategy and that sustainability needs to be in every degree. For example, our new MBA in Design Strategy builds sustainability (as well as innovation and meaning) into every course since we wouldn't be preparing our students for the future if we didn't.
There are many other program exploring the integration of sustainability with their core focii. We've compiled a Resource Center with these (and other) programs for those interested.

Hello, I am currently looking for a discontinued pattern, McCall's 5525. I am looking online to see if I can buy it used. I saw on amazon, but they were only plus sizes. I don;t seem to find it on etsy, craig's list nor kijiji.
Have you found an online source to purchase used patterns? I am in the Montreal area.
Oh how I wish we had a Cdn sewing exchange or sewing-buy/sell site. It would make life so much easier for us for us all here north of the border wouldn't it. The cost of mailing things across the border (both ways) is really high and puts a lot of people off.
I checked my stash to see if I had it for you but didn't have that one.
There is a yahoo list called Sew Its For Sale and you could put a wanted ad on there. Other alternatives would be to post it in the classifieds on this site or in those on Stitches Guild. I've also see etsy and ebay Cdn sellers who sell patterns and in fact I've gotten some from a couple of them but can't recall their names. If you search on ebay and narrow the searches area to Canada, you'll com up with some.
good luck,
thanks. I have found several for this pattern, but in plus size only :(
I will check the classified here and on yahoo. Thanks for the tip
JJ, I have the pattern in the sizes you need and I have family in Mtl, Qc.
Email me @gmail.com and we can work something out...
------Morphology: Petite at 1m53 (5'), Burda size altered 19 or altered 38, Big 4 size 10 or 12 depending on ease;

I recently joined the sew it's for sale yahoo list. Some members are willing to ship to Canada.
I also caved and set up US mailing address with kinek.com in Buffalo. People I work with have been shipping things to the other side of the border and picking them up for years. You still have to pay tax, but the shipping is often free or cheap. The rates charged for holding items are very reasonable (starting at $5 if it's under 10lbs) and they will hold for 30 days.

I think my SMAD is finally under control..
I have always had the same complaint, but I do live near good fabric shopping, so I am spoiled. One place that I love shopping at is Anns Fabric in Hamilton and they do have a very good mail order business as well as 3 stories if fabric. Their staff are great and you can "get it all" ,although, they specialize in dance wear fabric etc. They also have wool, lace, and so much more. I believe their site is www.annsfabric.com
They do not carry used patterns, but they do have Jalie and Kwik Sew. Give them a try.. Tell them "Pam sent you."
Thanks Pamela R, I will check them out.
I also emailed Mccall's and asked them where I can get the pattern. The 1st email said I could order it from them. I then replied saying "But your website says it is out of print and out of stock. How do I order it?" Their customer service leaves something to be desired! The 2nd email directed me to try ebay.com, oldpatterns.com, sewingpatterns.com
They had a lot of great stuff, but not my pattern, of course.
If someone is willing to pay a bit more than usual for M5525, ebay has one: This is ebay UK, but they ship worldwide.
For example:
The pattern price �8.25 and shipping to Canada is �9.99 Royal Mail Airmail (Small Packets).

I found this one. They are the only ones that have the pattern in regular size. There seems to be several sellers of the pattern, but in Plus size only.
My hubby was VERY nice and got it for me. I have been looking for a trench coat for a few years, and this pattern is exactly what I want! Murphy's law it is discoed when I find it. For this price I better make at least 2 of the views! Maybe 3!

November 24, 2015
The recent warm, dry weather is putting stress on Nebraska's crops.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture says it lowered crop condition ratings statewide because of the lack of moisture. Farmers are responding by turning on irrigation systems where they're available.
Temperatures across Nebraska were about 4 degrees above normal on average last week.
About 70 percent of Nebraska's corn crop is in good or excellent shape. That's below the average of 78 percent good or excellent.
The heat has helped the soybean crop develop quickly. About 97 percent of the soybeans have emerged, up from the average of 79 percent. About 64 percent of the soybean crop is in good or excellent shape.
The wheat harvest has begun in southeast Nebraska and should quickly move west across the state.

Which means, the placing of others above self, of their interests above one's own.
The man who speaks to you of sacrifices, speaks of slaves and masters. And intends to be the master.
-- Ayn Rand
Why is it moral to serve the happyness of others, but not your own? If enjoyment is a value, why is it moral when experienced by others, but immoral when experienced by you?
-- Ayn Rand
Impossible to measure benefit of altruism
"Your standard of virtue is not an object, not an act, not a principle, but an intention. You need no proof, no reasons, no success, you need not achieve in fact the good of others- all you need to know is that your motive was the good of others, not your own. You only definition of the good is a negation: the good is the non-good for me."
-- Ayn Rand
What altruism implies
It is immoral to live by your own effort, but moral to live by the effort of others
-- Ayn Rand
Nature of charity
"I owe nothing to my brothers, nor do I gather debts from them."
-- Ayn Rand
Government Charity
Government charity is what Frédéric Bastiat called "F
alse philanthropy". Giving away what is not theirs.
Corporate Charity
Corporate charity/philanthropy is nothing of the sort. You cannot be charitable with money that is not yours to give away.
When corporates give money away on behalf of their shareholders they might as well have ripped the money directly out of the shareholders wallets against their will.
The idea that "corporate social responsibility" must offset the profit motive is ludicrous. The profit motive is benign at worst and necessary to our survival.
Personal charity
Virtue and charity
"Without a doubt, morality and religion make it a duty for men, especially the rich, to deprive themselves voluntarily of that which they possess, in favour of their less fortunate brethren. But this is an entirely moral obligation. If it were to be asserted on principle, admitted in practice, or sanctioned by law, that every man has a right to the property of another, the gift would have no merit--charity and gratitude would be no longer virtues. "
-- Frédéric Bastiat
Limits of charity
Men have been taught that the highest virtue is not to acheive but to give. Yet no-one can give what has not been created. Creation comes before distribution- or there will be nothing to distribute.
-- Ayn Rand

Thanks for responding. Yeah, I saw that Skeletits show. Too bad about that. Now it looks like I might not be making the trip after all. Still gotta figure out the travel schedule between me and the other guy on my team, but if I do go, I definitely won't be able to stay extra since my wife will be at home pulling her hair out with the kids as it is.

I'll probably end up being an exception to this, and I'll tell you why. My interest in going to shows got significantly rekindled about eight years ago when I realized there was a lot of awesome stuff going on in the metal scene at the time (prior to that, I was on an electronica kick for a while and so I didn't go to a lot of live shows). Since then, my family has been growing and my free time to go to shows has been dwindling, so I can never make as many as I'd like. When you're in a state of constant starvation, it's kinda hard to get burned out on good food, know what I'm sayin'?

Wear several layers of clothing to insulate and keep you warm while fishing in cold weather. Clothing layers trap air between them and offer great insulation. As it warms up during the day, you can always take off some of the layers.
Long underwear, a warm shirt and warm pants help to hold your body's heat. Additional layers of clothing can include an insulated vest and a rain parka, which are also good for keeping you warm on cold, windy days.
Caps and hats are important. They prevent loss of body heat from your head and neck. Headgear should cover most of your head, including your ears.
Fishing is difficult with most gloves. There are gloves, however, that allow you tie knots and handle fishing tackle. They include lightweight rubber gloves and "hunter/fisherman's gloves" with a flap so you can expose your fingers.
Before fishing on ice, it is a good safety practice to check the thickness of the ice. Drill a hole with an ice auger near shore and along your route of travel, measuring the thickness of the ice as you move. Do not fish on ice unless it is at least four inches, preferably thicker.
A snowmobile suit and insulated boots with thick soles are ideal for ice fishing. Hand warmers are also helpful. A personal flotation device, when worn under clothing, provides extra warmth and emergency flotation

Hudson -- Fashion illustration was an art form lost once advertisers began using photography in the 70s, but a collection of artwork illustrations can be viewed through Aug. 21 at the Margaret Clark Morgan Foundation Gallery, 10 W. Streetsboro St.
The "Norma Wagner Uray: Fashion Illustrations" exhibition, presented by Kent State University's Fashion School and the Margaret Clark Morgan Foundation, spans the professional work of Wagner Uray's career.
Gallery hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The exhibition features illustrations created by Norma Wagner Uray for retail advertising from the 1950s to 1980s. During these decades, fashion illustrations were used in advertising to help persuade shoppers to purchase merchandise at regional department stores. Fashion illustrations in advertising were either line drawings or wash drawings, which are pen and ink with added gray to black watercolor tones.
"Norma Wagner Uray demonstrated exceptional illustration skill and an uncanny knack for designing compositional layouts for advertising," said J.R. Campbell, director of the Kent State University Fashion School. "This exhibition shows highlights of her work with multiple retailers. We are very pleased to present the exhibition through funding support from the Margaret Clark Morgan Foundation."
More illustrations by Wagner Uray are exhibited in the hallway of the second floor of the Fashion School in Rockwell Hall at KSU, Campbell said.
"She was very talented and very versatile," Campbell said. "Her work on display is relevant for students to see today. Hand illustrated, full-page advertising doesn't happen now."
"Norma Wagner Uray: Fashion Illustrations" looks at Wagner Uray's illustrations with four themes in mind: showcasing some original illustrations; the design process; representing clothing and attracting customers through advertising/layout; and the relationships with major department stores, said Deanna Burritt-Peffer of the KSU Fashion School. Wagner Uray showed great variety in her designs, being able to effectively capture the signature look of an era. She had a sophisticated design quality that was especially well-suited to rendering textures such as fur, tweed, herringbone or lace.
Norma Wagner Uray
Norma Wagner Uray was born in Struthers, Ohio, in 1926. She graduated from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, in 1948 with a bachelor's degree in fine arts.
She worked as a window dresser for Strouss-Hirshberg in Youngstown, but they found out she was a "pretty good artist," and she began preparing sketches for advertising, according to her husband, Charles Uray.
She specialized in full-page fashion illustrations for a number of department stores, including Strouss-Hirshberg, Rich's in Atlanta, Joseph Horne Co. in Pittsburgh and Halle Bros. Co. in Cleveland. Her work also appeared in American Vogue magazine.
No one knew about Wagner Uray's collection of more than 300 fashion illustrations until after her death in 2012. Even Charles Uray was unaware of her talent. Married in 1970, Norma retired a couple of years later as advertising used more photography. After her husband's retirement, the couple returned to Ohio and settled in Hudson.
"She always dressed well no matter what type of event," Charles said. "She was always the center of attention."
Yet, she was humble about her work, which was stored at her mother's home for years before Norma donated more than 300 illustrations to a museum in Youngstown. After her death, her illustrations were brought to Kent State University's Fashion School where students can learn from her work.
Norma was a member of the Philanthropic Educational Organization, and its members attended the gallery opening July 15. Correspondent Secretary Lin Rechelt said the organization supports women in education.
"Nobody knew about her art," Rechelt said. "She was an amazing woman. We're thrilled her art is being shown."
Her best friend, Lois Lander, another P.E.O. member, met her 20 years ago at the Hudson Woman's Club when they were both new Hudson residents.
"All her family called her "Pink" because her mother dressed her in pink," Lander said. "She was classy."
Margaret Clark Morgan Gallery
The next show scheduled at the gallery is by the Hudson Society of Artists and will run from Aug. 26 through Oct. 27.
The Margaret Clark Morgan Gallery hosts several exhibitions each year, to learn more about the gallery and the Margaret Clark Morgan Foundation please visit www.mcmfdn.org.

Louisiana College President Joe Aguillard, seen in 2008 in front of Alexandria Hall on the campus in PIneville, has been the subject of criticism by some students, faculty members and alumni since he took office in 2005. During his tenure, the private Baptist college has had its academic accreditation challenged by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. After reviewing LC's operations in April 2011, SACS noted a number of areas of non-compliance with accreditation rules and placed the college on warning for 12 months. Accreditation was reaffirmed in December 2013. In March 2014, less than three months later, SACS told The Town Talk that it will start another inquiry. SACS? decision comes in the wake of allegations that LC officials had submitted documents that contained forged signatures and other consistencies to the accrediting agency as it was considering whether to remove the school from warning status in 2011-12.
- Filed Under
A question is on the minds of many in Central Louisiana: Where is Louisiana College headed?
It's on our mind, too, as it was on Jan, 9, 2005, when we wrote the following under the headline: "Trustees' pick will be key to LC's future":
The Louisiana College Board of Trustees seems determined to take the school in some new direction. What that direction will be is not clear, but there are enough signs that at least some have decided they don't want to make the trip.
The faculty, for example, has voiced its opinion of the trustees' choice of Joe Aguillard to become new president of the private college in Pineville by voting 53-12 to oppose his appointment.
Many LC students are concerned that a new administration will bring about academic changes that will adversely affect their education plans.
Both of these groups see the real possibility that the school will lose its accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, a critical stamp of approval for any college wanting to tout its academic standing.
That worry apparently takes a back seat to those involved in pushing Aguillard's appointment, however.
Kent Aguillard, the candidate's brother and a member of the Board of Trustees, said he believes the negative accreditation report issued by SACS has little merit. That report criticizes the trustees for trying to micromanage the day-to-day operation of college.
We are not privy to whether the other trustees agree with that sentiment. We do know that their actions to date have engendered little confidence that they have taken the report to heart.
Joe Aguillard has expressed that the accreditation issue is important and has vowed that the school will not become a Bible college under his leadership if he is appointed president when the trustees meet Jan. 17.
That is little comfort to faculty members and the students who see the heavy hand of a conservative religious movement among the board members intent on having a decisive influence on the college's academic administration.
It is not our intent to pass judgment on Aguillard, who was voted Professor of the Year in 2004 by the student body. He is the director of the college's education department and a respected educator.
But when so many of his fellow faculty members say he is not the person they would choose to be the school's new leader, the community must take notice. Likewise, the community must note that Aguillard does have support among some faculty members and students.
The Board of Trustees had - and still has - an opportunity to appoint a president who will provide leadership while seeking common ground. For now, however, the board has named a candidate who already is having a divisive effect. And, some fear, he may have been selected to further an agenda that has jeopardized the college's academic credentials.
That agenda must have concerned Malcolm Yarnell, the scholar who accepted the trustees' initial offer to be president. Yarnell withdrew his name after learning more about the challenges facing the college.
Those challenges remain. Hanging in the balance are the college's accreditation and its future.

The idea of an all-you-can eat buffet can send even the most conscientious type 2 diabetes sufferers into a guilt spiral, but that doesn't have to be the case. Hit the salad bar first and fill up on greens, then avoid creamy soups and go for clear broths. Go for color in your choices with fresher, less-processed foods like steamed vegetables over fried; sweet potatoes over baked or mashed; broiled, grilled or baked meats instead of fried and sauteed; low-fat meats like fish and chicken over steak and fresh salads. Avoid toppings that are creamy, fatty, thick or gooey like gravy, cream cheese, sour cream, cream sauce and creamy dressings.

Submitted by Jim Conway
Executive Director of the Express Delivery and Logistics Association
When Congress passed into law the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act in 2006, it clearly was their intention to set parameters that brought about the market for international mail products being open for competition. The business generated international mail industry has in fact been fully deregulated since 1987 -more than twenty years.
The Express Delivery and Logistics Association (XLA) includes within its membership United States companies engaged in international business mail. These companies are of great importance to publishers, direct marketing entities financial companies and other entities engaged in international commerce and information dissemination. Though competitors of the United States Postal Service (USPS), these companies are also significant customers of the USPS.
The XLA and its international postal members request that this Advisory Committee reflect on the following question: "Is the State Department fulfilling its statutory mandate under the PAEA to promote and, where direct jurisdiction applies, enforce, fair competition for U.S. companies engaged in the international postal market?".
Consider the State's jurisdictional authority under the PAEA found in Sec. 407 (4) (b) (1):
The Secretary of State shall be responsible for formulation, coordination, and oversight of foreign policy related to international postal services and other international delivery services.
Consider the specific congressional intent in the same paragraph on the issue of the USPS and fair competition within the international postal market:
...the Secretary may not conclude any treaty, convention, or other international agreement (including those regulating international postal services) if such treaty, convention or agreement would, with respect to any competitive product, grant an undue or unreasonable preference to the Postal Service...
Business international mail is a "competitive product" of the USPS as classified by the PAEA. Clearly the PAEA calls for fair competition for these products and for the State Department to exercise its jurisdictional responsibilities under the statute to ensure a level playing field.
In the time since the PAEA was written into law, State has signed onto UPU regulations that preserve the UPU system for only the USPS (proposal 23 at the 2008 UPU Congress as example), they maintain that Extra Territorial Offices of Exchange "must not use UPU documentation to export commercial cargo from the United States" on the State Department website, effectively promoting the UPU system for only the USPS's Competitive products as well as other examples contrary to the PAEA's mandate.
Three years after the enactment of the PAEA, there is still no level playing field for US companies engaged in international business mail products. The USPS continues to enjoy an unfair advantage that is the result of disparate treatment by other government agencies.
Let's look at the advantages that the USPS enjoys that are not available to the private sector within the international business mail market.
- Customs - the PAEA calls for Customs to "apply the customs laws of the United States...in the same manner to both shipments by the Postal Service and similar shipments by private companies". This is not done. The USPS has its own customs facilities and therefore does not incur the same administrative clearance fees as private mailers and it is unknown from what 'pocket' the USPS's inbound clearance costs are paid from.
- TSA - the USPS does not have to follow the same security procedures scheme that covers private international mailers. Specifically, international mail cargo is subject to a 50% screening requirement (soon to be 100%) for all cargo on passenger planes. The USPS does not have to go through this process and its screening equipment, which is costly, is borne by the taxpayers.
- Master Airway Bill Exit System - the USPS does not have to use this system and similarly does not have to negotiate terminal dues. Again, this puts private mailers at a distinct competitive disadvantage.
The international mailing market in the U.S. is not without a significant financial impact. Our estimate is that the annual US international mail market is $2.1 billion. We also note that the parcel market is growing at a fast clip. To open this market up, as intended by Congress under the PAEA, could help all competitors including the USPS. "Leveling the playing field" would encourage foreign postal authorities opening markets for U.S. companies and the USPS.
Ultimately, we see enforcing the statutory mandate for fair competition within the international postal marketplace as a "win/win" situation. It would grow the pie as the USPS and foreign entities would offer more competitive products and the business - especially in the parcel area would grow.
The XLA appreciates this opportunity to bring this issue before this Advisory Committee and we look forward to a vigorous and thoughtful discussion from its participants.

Case Management
Thomas Jefferson University Hospital
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
A Jefferson patient's family member nominated Mary, she wrote, "Mary is truly an extraordinary nurse, case manager, and person. Last December, shortly before the holidays, my mother suffered a serious spinal injury and was hospitalized for several weeks at Jefferson. She underwent two separate surgeries and was in Intensive Care for some time. Her recovery was slow and challenging. I am happy to report that she is making good progress. "Mary made this difficult and scary time bearable for my Mom, and for all of us who were so worried about her. She helped us to understand what was going on and she was so caring and empathetic. She was a wonderful "face" for Jefferson. She offered to be available to us at any time, even on the weekends and her vacation days. Simply put, she was a delight. She also played a big role in helping us to plan for the steps after my Mom's discharge -- particularly her move to Magee Rehabilitation Hospital. Because of Mary, a very difficult, stressful, and scary time was made bearable. She is an excellent nurse and a wonderful person. "I hope that Jefferson will honor Mary with this wonderful award. I can't imagine that anyone would be better qualified or more deserving. On behalf of my Mom, and my entire family, I can't express my gratitude enough to Mary." In front of the patient and family who nominated her, her colleagues, daughter, and members of nursing and hospital administration, Mary was recognized for the incredible meaningful difference she makes in the lives of patients and families. Mary was overwhelmed with the recognition.

text: Organizations that develop compressors strive to improve efficiency and reliability in a very competitive marketplace, so time to market is a significant consideration. Industrial equipment is usually derived from a standard line of machines. But in many cases — particularly larger machines — the equipment requires some level of customization to meet unique installation or operating requirements. Existing machines may require changes to process, flow rates, gas composition or required operating range. These modifications are usually scheduled on a tight timeline to meet a planned system shut-down schedule. The use of rapid, reliable and high-fidelity design tools is vital to meeting customer schedule and expectation.

It is not uncommon to find a father and son playing catch in the yard, or see a dad cheering on his son from the stands at a high school football game. It seems fathers and sons always have bonded through sports and other so-called "manly" hobbies.
However, the father-son duo of Bruce and Austin Piper break the mold. It wasn't sports that brought them together; it was their love and appreciation for music and the arts.
Bruce is a pianist, and Austin is a rising singer with a taste for Broadway. Throughout the years, as Austin became more involved in musicals at Johnstown High School, the two started ...

Listen to the song to get the chord timings right, and I recommend using a
combination of strumming patterns and fingerpicking with lots of small ornaments
in the picking structure to keep it floaty. Don't go overboard though. The only
chord I am unsure of is the G/E so any corrections would be good.

Dear Dr. Roach: I am in my mid-80s and have arthritis in both knees and hips, as well as in my spine, neck and hands. My doctor and I agreed on six 500-mg tablets of Tylenol a day rather than a prescription drug. This has not done too well.
A friend of mine suggested that I take 8 ounces of pineapple juice a day. I have been doing this for several weeks. This has almost alleviated the pain from the arthritis.
My question: What is in the pineapple juice that does this? -- S.I.
Dr. Roach: I looked this up, and some publications suggested that the enzyme bromelain in pineapple juice is the effective component. This doesn't make sense to me since enzymes, being made of protein, are themselves digested quickly in our stomachs and not absorbed into the body. So, I don't know what in the pineapple juice is helping.
It's possible there is something in the juice we don't yet understand that helps joints. It's also possible that this is a "placebo effect" -- when we believe something will help, it does. The placebo effect is powerful, and accounts for much of the apparent effectiveness even of prescription drugs. It honestly doesn't matter.
Eight ounces of pineapple juice shouldn't cause side effects in most people, although for diabetics, it is a fair bit of sugar. I think I would stick with what's working for you.
Dear Dr. Roach: I have taken cholesterol medications in the past, and they give me leg cramps and pain. I need to take medication, but am hesitant to do so even though my doctor recommends treatment. Does Vytorin have the same side effects as the other statins? -- P.L.
Dr. Roach: Vytorin contains two medicines: One is the same medicine as Zocor (simvastatin), so it can cause muscle aches. The statin least likely to cause it is pravastatin (Pravachol). Sometimes even the same medicine doesn't cause aches when you try it again.

Location: Commodity Protection and Quality
2013 Annual Report
1)compare damage prediction between traps for males, females, and eggs; and.
2)characterize a newly-released artificial pheromone lure. In the first experiment, counts were compared between pheromone traps for males (using unmated females as a pheromone source), eggs captured in traps with ovipositional attractants, and females capture in traps using the same ovipositional attractants as for eggs. The number of females captured correlated significantly with the number of males captured but not the number of eggs captured. However, trapping for males had practical disadvantages and, since a synthetic pheromone lure for navel orangeworm became available during this time, subsequent work examined practical use of this lure. An experiment comparing the number of males captured between lures and trap types found similar number of males captured in wing traps baited with either unmated females or synthetic pheromone lures, but significantly fewer males captured in either bucket traps or delta traps baited with the synthetic lure. A third experiment is currently underway to examine the impact of mass trapping of males on the number of males captured in traps baited with unmated females.

text: Hannah Seligson is every girl's BFF in New Girl on the Job: Advice from the Trenches. Aimed at the 20-something female entering the strange subuniverse of work, the book defuses emotional undercurrents in business settings while presenting ideas for turning internships and entry-level jobs into real opportunities. Making a Graceful Entrance: How to Find a Job You Don't Want to Quit, X + Y: Navigating Female-Male Dynamics at the Office, Bad Bosses, Why Is She Being Such a Bitch and other chapters cover everything from finding to keeping a job. Strong anecdotes from the trenches support the female-tailored techniques like changing the channel after a goof-up, using CYT (cover yourself tactics) to help avert office disasters, and the real take on crying (consider it a tic, and not a huge deal as long as you quickly compose yourself in the bathroom). Slanted to those raised on self-esteem and teamwork buzzwords ( I felt hurt, violated and embarrassed when I heard you talked about me . . . would it be more productive if we both spent less time focusing on interpersonal issues and more time designing Web pages? ) Seligson's advice is still valuable to any worker bee trying to adjust to life in the hive.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) - Mother Nature didn't show a lot of love for the JUCO World Series last year but this time around it's a whole other story. As day three wrapped up, fans were already experiencing better weather than last year.
JUCO 2009 started off with a bang, of thunder that is. Mother Nature threw out the first pitch and it was a wet one. Fans and players were drenched with a quarter inch of rain on opening day and the second day was even worse, dumping three-quarters of an inch in just a short period of time.
Along with the rain came cooler temperatures that had fans bundling up to stay warm and dry. Last year the entire tournament only had two days of sunshine.
Fans like Bill Conklin, who's been watching and working JUCO for 30 years has seen it all. "Most years we've had pretty good weather, we've had a couple of years where we've had rain delays and one year we were playing ball until 2 a.m.," he says.
This year Mother Nature is hitting a home run with fans. Jackets and umbrellas have been swapped for shorts and sandals as skies have been blue with just a few clouds.
