Editor's Summary
Social informatics past, present and future were the focus of the 8th annual SIG/SI Research Symposium at the 2012 ASIS&T Annual Meeting, with presenters from Europe, Canada and the United States. Papers on the past of social informatics explored its roots in the early 1980s and its domain organization reflected through bibliometric analysis. Current research topics described the influence of information and communication technologies as a contextual element that shapes experience and social interaction, knowledge sharing across boundaries in online communities and studying subjectivity in Web 2.0 research collaborations through Q methodology. Presenters considered the future of social informatics in terms of the influence of information and communication technologies on the economic order, aspects of information practice that demand attention and topics and frameworks for further research. Best paper awards were given for studies on evolving digital rights and urban immigrants information tactics. Through the symposium and interaction with other SIGs, researchers were encouraged to take a broad view of social informatics to better understand its lessons, influences and future directions.

SIG/SI 8th Annual Research Symposium a Success!
by Pnina Fichman and Howard Rosenbaum, SIG/SI co-chairs
The 8th Annual SIG/Social Informatics (SIG/SI) Research Symposium, held on October 27, 2012, at the 75th Anniversary Annual Meeting of the American Society for Information Science and Technology in Baltimore, was a great success. The theme of the symposium was the past, present and future of social informatics. Eleven thought-provoking presentations addressed this theme; several posters and two best-paper awards were also included. The symposium, organized by the authors of this report, was co-sponsored by the Rob Kling Center for Social Informatics. Many of the papers presented at the symposium will be published in a volume entitled Social Informatics: Past, Present and Future, edited by the organizers.
Two of the 11 papers describe the history of social informatics. Howard Rosenbaum began with a historical overview of social informatics, tracing its roots to Scandinavia in the early 1980s. Lori Hoeffner led off the second paper session with a domain analysis using bibliometric techniques to argue that over the last decade social informatics has evolved into a coherent albeit loosely affiliated domain.
Five papers describe current research in social informatics. Sean Goggins presented a case study, co-authored with Christopher Mascaro, of a rural IT firm that illustrates fundamental social informatics insight about the importance of context, arguing that its workers uses of information and communications technologies (ICTs) shape their experiences of distance as physical, informational and cultural, which, in turn, influence collaborations with urban customers. Kristin Eschenfelders paper, written with Andrew Johnson, describes the emerging patterns of controlled data-sharing in web-based repositories, illustrating the complex interplay between organizational policies and practices and the technological infrastructure of knowledge commons. Noriko Hara, writing with Pnina Fichman, argues that social informatics researchers should attend to technologically mediated phenomena taking place outside of organizational boundaries. They propose a typology of boundary types as a sociotechnical framework to study knowledge sharing across boundaries by members of open online communities. Beth St. Jean presented a paper written with Katie Shilton and Brian Butler that describes an analysis of self-tracking or the recording, manipulation and sharing of data about ones own bodies and activities, casting it as a new sociotechnical practice and form of information behavior mediated by ubiquitous and interactive mobile technologies. Bringing social informatics to scholarly communication, Ying Sun and Joseph Meloche describe the use of Q methodology to empirically determine the factors that support research collaborations in Web 2.0 environments.
Four of the papers propose future directions for social informatics research. J.P. Allen speculates on the significance of social informatics for mounting a critique of conventional utopian thinking about the role of information and communication technologies in the economic order. Andrew Cox followed with an analysis of the practice approach, focusing on several of its main concepts including materiality, embodiment, process, identity construction and emergence to argue that social informatics can be strengthened by attending to these neglected elements of the contexts of information activity. Grant Leyton Simpson explores the theoretical intersection between textual studies and social informatics by focusing on the sociotechnical investigation of technological objects seen as both cultural artifacts and the products of research. Lysanne Lessard proposes the integration of critical realism into social informatics, arguing that it would allow a reframing of the core sociotechnical problem motivating the discipline and point to a way forward for social informatics research.
During a break following the first paper session, the 30 or so participants viewed four posters provided by Razep Echeng Egbe, Emad Khazraee, Ophelia Morey and Hua Wang, and Miriam Sweeney.
During the last session in the symposium, the 2011 Social Informatics Best Paper Award was given to Kristin Eschenfelder, University of Wisconsin at Madison, and her coauthors Anuj Desai and Greg Downey for their paper The Pre-Internet Downloading Controversy: The Evolution of Use Rights for Digital Intellectual and Cultural Works, published in The Information Society. The 2011 Social Informatics Best Student Paper Award was given to Jessica Lingel for her paper Information Tactics of Immigrants in Urban Environments, published in Information Research. Full citations are provided below.
The purpose of this annual research symposium is to disseminate and discuss current research and research in progress that investigates the social aspects of ICTs across all areas of ASIS&T. Building on the success of past years, the symposium includes members of many SIGs and defines social broadly to include critical and historical approaches as well as contemporary social analysis. It also defines technology broadly to include traditional technologies (that is, paper), state-of-the-art computer systems and mobile and pervasive devices. In light of the theme for the anniversary Annual Meeting Information, Interaction, Innovation: Celebrating the Past, Constructing the Present and Creating the Future the 8th Annual Social Informatics Research Symposium solicited work focusing on the past, present and future contributions and challenges in social informatics using the rear view mirror to navigate the present and guide us into the future. We asked: What can we learn from the history of social informatics? What are the forces currently shaping the field? In what theoretical and empirical directions is social informatics moving? We were particularly interested in work that assumes a critical stance towards the interplay between people's uses of information and ICT in society and in the workplace. Critical analyses are useful because they question our established assumptions about information and ICTs and their role in society and the workplace.
The symposium was a success with high quality papers, lively discussion and an international audience; the papers and posters were presented by authors from Europe, Canada and the United States. We are pleased to report that the state of research and theorizing in social informatics is healthy and exciting. SIG/SI is already planning the symposium for the 2013 ASIS&T Annual Meeting, and we expect to have another stimulating event.

Why a cow hunt? I find hunting for bulls to be easier. You can call them in close, and they're alone. Cows are generally herded up.
It sounds like gramps will be doing just the shooting. Get him a nice bull. Cows are for meat hunters.
edit..I forgot i'm speaking for myself who just takes close shots. I suppose a cow would be easy if you take long shots, but I would still think he'd be more thrilled with a bull.

Prepare Your Home for the Holidays – The Garage Plan Shop
The holidays are an exciting but hectic time of year. Don't let the hustle and bustle of the season override the safety of your family and guests. Prepare your home ahead of time and embrace the holiday cheer. Below are some tips to help you:
- Light the Way – Welcome your guests and reduce the risk of falls with bright outdoor lighting on steps and walkways. Help overnight visitors find their way around your house with ample use of nightlights or flashlights if need be. Avoid the use of candles especially around children. The addition of holiday lights and decorations bring the hazard of extension cords. Make sure that they do not cross the floor where anyone might be walking and do not cover them with rugs.
- Watch the Pot – Unattended cooking is one of the leading causes of home fires. Entertaining can pull you away from the kitchen, so designate a pot watcher who can also keep the little ones from underfoot and away from the heat.
- Mind the Fire – Of course it is so cozy to fire up the fireplace, but do so only if someone can stay in that room to mind it. Of course you will want to follow all the rules of fireplace safety, like having the chimney cleaned and inspected. Don't allow anyone to throw paper plates or wrapping paper on the fire. Make sure your fire and carbon monoxide detectors are in working order.
- Childproof – Even if you already have children in the house, prepare for visiting children who may not know or follow your rules. Lock up any potential poisons like cleaners and medications and don't forget that some plants can be poisonous also. Be mindful that toddlers are fascinated by holiday decorations that could hurt or burn them. Keep an eye out for choking hazards like small toy parts, leftover foods, alcohol, and cigarette butts.
- Senior-proof – Eliminate tripping hazards like throw rugs and hallway runners. Be wary of what an older person might touch to steady themselves, and remove items that teeter or roll. Use nonslip mats in the bathtub and consider installing grab bars in the shower if they will have an extended stay.
- Pet-proof – You may already know what not to feed your pets, but your guests may not. To be safe, remind them to avoid feeding pets any "people food," including coffee, alcohol, and candy. Be aware of new hazards like glass ornaments, ribbons, tinsel, plants, and chemicals in the tree water. Pets may need to be isolated in another part of the house, if the excitement of company is too much for them.
Keeping these tips in mind, we wish you and yours a safe and happy holiday season!

Quick Facts about CF
In the United States:
Symptoms of CF
People with CF can have a variety of symptoms, including:
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
A nonprofit, donor-supported organization, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is the world's leader in the search for a cure for CF. The Foundation funds lifesaving research and works to provide access to quality, specialized care and effective treatments for people with CF.
Nearly every CF drug available today was made possible because of Foundation support. Through its efforts, the life expectancy of a child with CF has doubled in the last 30 years, and research to find a cure is more promising than ever before.

Healthy ecosystems produce goods and services that provide livelihoods for people and the potential for economic development. These include fresh water, agricultural productivity, fisheries, forest products, energy and protection from natural hazards. But when human activity degrades the environment, these goods and services decline, hampering economic and social development and leaving rural, marginalized communities more vulnerable.

And the pinbacked button blanks are even more ridiculous in price for what they are. IF you can sell a button for 1-2 each you would have to sell upwards of 200-250 buttons to break even for the button "machine" button materials and the paper and ink for the picture.
http://www.badgeaminit.com/starterkit.html (For 2 1/4 button, which are too big and out of fashion but this is the cheapest way to do this.) 30 + free shipping

Then a blank button set of 250 buttons for each size so around 100 with shipping, which is $20.00!!!! RIP OFF. (You CAN'T buy these anywhere, believe me, I looked so it's only online.)
Not to mention a circle cutter which is around 15 bucks!!
This is just for ONE type of item, I have over head in other areas too. Let's shoot for breaking even! haha

May 30, 2016
After serving on an interim basis for a year, Dr. Charles Lee has been named the new president of Mississippi State University.
The state College Board made the announcement Friday in Starkville.
College Board President Bryce Griffis said Lee's salary will be $300,000 a year, with $100,000 of that coming from the university's foundation.
The 12-member board began a nationwide search for a new president after Dr. Malcolm Portera resigned to become chancellor of the University of Alabama system in November, 2001.
Lee was promoted from his former position as vice president for agriculture, forestry and veterinary medicine.
Lee was in Meridian Friday for a leadership summit. He pledged his support for the Opera House Project to a welcoming crowd at Kahlmus Auditorium at MSU's Meridian campus.
"We are, I hope, going to have people on site in the next few days, if they're not already here, beginning to remove some of the debris and other things preparatory to starting the renovation," said Lee.
The new president also indicated at least one new program for the Meridian campus of MSU is currently under consideration.

Greensboro, NC -- Often during the winter, before a winter storm, you may have spotted a ring or halo around the moon.
This halo around the moon is a result of high cloud cover which is comprised of tiny ice crystals. The cirrus clouds or high clouds with the tiny ice crystals refract the light coming from the moon. This refraction of the light then continues down to your eyes appearing as a halo around that moon.
Halos around the moon are possible any time of the year, but are more likely during the winter months when the atmosphere is colder and more conducive to forming ice crystals.
If you have a question about halos around the moon or a question about weather in general let us know. You can email the WFMY News 2 Weather Team at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Regarding the labels, the color is probably the most unlikely thing about them. Were they painted on with Wite-Out? As a starting point, use a color for the text that you've already used elsewhere on the map.
Now, the rivers are almost okay. Assuming that the sea is to the south, you just need to reverse the confluence of the tributary northwest of Badger's Drift. Generally speaking, two rivers will meet in a Y shape, where the vertical part of the Y is pointed downstream. It's not impossible for a confluence to form the way you've shown it here, but it's unlikely and probably would not exist in that configuration very long, particularly on flat land. Erosion will knock out that pointed area, and the water from Badger's Drift will turn to the southwest before joining the larger river.
On the other hand, if the Badger's Drift tributary does drop it's water into the river traveling the "wrong" way, it might make for some interesting rapids in that area. Maybe even a persistent whirlpool.

text: That turned out pretty nice Thegn! The color of the compass rose however bothers me somewhat - whenever I try looking at it it makes my head hurt (not sure why). I would suggest changing the color to white and setting it at low opacity. As to how to make border, I've written up a little tutorial on the subject. You can find a link to it in my sig.

Fun Facts about Barbecue
Who barbecues
- Barbecues have been a White House tradition since Thomas Jefferson. Lyndon B. Johnson, the 36th president of the United States, hosted the first barbecue at the White House that featured Texas-style barbecued ribs. Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter hosted a "pig pickin'" for about 500 guests including visiting foreign dignitaries. Ronald and Nancy Reagan also were avid barbecuers who entertained with barbecues at their ranch. George H. Bush, 41st president, held a barbecue for Members of Congress annually on the South Lawn of the White House, a tradition continued by his son, President George W. Bush. However, that tradition was interrupted on September 12, 2001, the day after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Secret Service agents, who had evacuated the White House a day earlier, cancelled the barbecue and the White House kitchen released 700 pounds of beef tenderloin to feed the hundreds of rescue workers who had traveled to Washington.
When we barbecue
- The most popular holidays for barbecuing are, in order, July 4th (71 percent), Memorial Day (57 percent), and Labor Day (55 percent)..
What we barbecue
- The most popular foods for cooking on the grill are, in order: burgers (85 percent), steak (80 percent), hot dogs (79 percent) and chicken (73 percent).
- The side dishes most commonly prepared on the grill are, in order, corn (41 percent), potatoes (41 percent), and other vegetables (32 percent).
- The most popular flavors of barbecue sauce are hickory, followed by mesquite, honey, and then spicy-hot.
How we barbecue
- There are about as many styles of barbecuing as there are opinions - everyone's got their own! Generally speaking, though, there are barbecue styles that dominate in different regions of the country. In the Carolinas, they can't agree whether sauce should be vinegar, mustard or tomato based, but they can agree on the meat the sauce goes on - pork. In the Deep South, Georgia, Florida, and parts of Louisiana, you'll find that Cajun cuisine has had a strong influence. Regardless of whether you're barbecuing beef brisket, pork ribs, rabbit, or trout, chances are your taste buds will get a kick from a spicy marinade, sauce, or rub. In other parts of the South, pork also rules. In sunny California, lighter fare such as salmon is king of the grill. The Midwest is a barbecue hotbed - if you can't find a meat and sauce combination you like in Kansas City, you can't find it anywhere.
Our Utensils
- The most popular barbecue utensils are long-handled tongs (77 percent), followed by forks (64 percent), long handled spatulas (59 percent), and then grill cleaning brushes (63 percent).
Our Fuels
Ellsworth B. A. Zwoyer of Pennsylvania patented a design for charcoal briquettes in 1897. After World War I, the Zwoyer Fuel Company built charcoal briquette manufacturing plants in the United States with plants in Buffalo, NY and Fall River, MA.
There are stories circulating that Henry Ford invented the very first briquette in 1920 with the help of Thomas Edison. However, the 1897 patent obviously predates this and Ford and Edison both knew Zwoyer.
- Natural lump charcoal costs a bit more than charcoal briquettes, but it burns hotter, which means you use less – and partially burned natural lump charcoal can be reused. Briquettes work better for long cooking periods and they produce more consistent heat.
- It's easy to check how much propane is remaining in your tank. When using a gas grill, be sure to regularly check how much propane remains in your tank. There are several accessories on the market that can easily monitor your propane level without lifting the propane tank. Better yet, keep a full, spare propane tank handy so you never run out of fuel.
Barbecue History
- There is no definitive history about how the word "barbecue" originated – or why it's sometimes used as a noun, verb, or adjective. Some say the Spaniards get the credit for the word, derived from their "barbacoa" which is an American-Indian word for the framework of green wood on which foods were placed for cooking over hot coals. Others think the French were responsible, offering the explanation that when the Caribbean pirates arrived on our Southern shores, they cooked animals on a spit-like devise that ran from "whiskers to tail" or "de barbe a` queue."
- Competition barbecuing is one of the hottest hobbies in the country with hundreds of cook-offs held throughout all 50 states. The biggest and most famous are Memphis in May and The American Royal in Kansas City. Both cities stake their claim to being the barbecue capital of the U.S.

WASHINGTON DC (WUSA) --- Constance Downs of Silver Spring, Md., walks in Susan G. Komen Global Race For The Cure, Saturday, June 5, 2010. She is battling Stage IV metastatic breast cancer for which there is no cure. Downs details her experiences battling the illness on her blog, "Conquering Cancer."
"You can't be careful enough and things like Komen are making a huge difference in coming up with solutions that will work over the long haul so that we can live full lives," says Downs. She says doctors told her she had a two percent chance that her breast cancer would return after her first battle with the disease years ago.
"I have a two-year-old [daughter]. I have an eight-year-old [daughter]. I have a lot of reasons to live," she says.
A group of over ten friends and family raised $13,328.40 for the Constie's Resilience team under the Komen event. The amount of money makes the team one of the top 20 fundraising family/friend teams for the 2010 race.
"The typical life span of a metastatic breast cancer person is 30 months. So we're hoping, with this money, that we'll be able to contribute to a cure so that people who have Stage IV metastatic breast cancer, that it's not a life sentence," says friend Chris O'Donnell who has run with Downs in past Komen races.
Today, O'Donnell ran the race alone.
"It was hard, it was very humid. But I figured if my friend could survive Stage IV breast cancer, I can keep one foot in front of the other," says O'Donnell.

Discover an anti-aging solution based on science. Neova Copper Peptide Therapy helps promote visibly healthier, younger looking skin. Neova uses the power of copper to revive dull, lifeless skin, remedy the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and restore moisture and firmness.
Shop all products by ProCyte including Neova and Tricomin.
Up to 90 percent of the signs of aging that develop on the complexion are caused by photodamage, the destruction of vital skin cell components by ultraviolet radiation. The skincare experts at Neova have extensively studied the mechanism through which this damage occurs and have developed ingredients that simultaneously counteract its effects to improve the appearance of the skin while serving as a barrier to ultraviolet that can greatly reduce the degree to which damage occurs in the future.
In clinical trials, Neova products were able to decrease the appearance of photodamage spots by up to 99 percent with just 2 weeks of continual use. This incredible ability to rejuvenate the skin comes from the DNA CoFactor found in Neova anti-aging skin care products. This complex includes DNA repair enzymes, which are delivered to the skin in tiny capsules that target damaged genetic material in the skin cells. The enzymes help to repair this damage, so that cells can begin producing collagen and other vital skin components at normal rates. Over time, this leads to improvements in skin tone, elasticity and texture for an overall effect of healthier, more youthful looking skin.
Along with the DNA repair enzymes, the DNA CoFactor contains a copper peptide complex. This cosmeceutical ingredient stimulates the manufacturing of structural proteins in the skin tissue to strengthen the skin while providing antioxidant protection to diminish photodamage. Discover for yourself what the sophisticated science behind Neova products can do for your skin. Shop the collection today.

Beef: Understanding Your Choices
t D'Artagnan we believe in choices, especially when it comes to beef. Some swear by grass-fed beef, relishing its leanness, nuanced flavor and extolling its nutritional value. Others prefer their red meat with a pale network of fat marbled throughout, adding flavor and succulence. Americans have been eating grain-finished beef for some time now, and our palates are used to the milder flavor and tender texture. Still others prefer a truly luxurious beef experience like rare Wagyu beef with glistening veins of pure fat. At D'Artagnan, we love quality beef of all kinds, so we have a cut of beef for every palate.
Domestic Beef
Some years ago, in the hills of central Oregon, a group of cattle ranchers formed a cooperative called Painted Hills Natural Beef, focused on humane care for their animals, and high quality of the finished product. Just imagine if you could raise a beef animal from birth in your own back yard on grass, then feed it locally grown alfalfa hay, barley and corn for a few months, and never any animal feed, hormones or antibiotics. That's exactly what our ranchers do –but in a 10,000 acre backyard.
Each rancher in the cooperative knows exactly where each animal comes from, and can track it from birth to processing, all of which takes place in the great Northwest. Each animal comes with an affidavit that proves it, and that the rancher followed strict natural protocols. The Black Angus and Angus cross cattle range over pasture land for most of their lives, and are then rounded up and fed a supplement of alfalfa hay, barley and corn for a few months in a spacious, low-stress feeding facility, before processing (usually around 2 years of age). To the ranchers, humane treatment is of paramount importance, so every care is taken, even in transporting the cattle short distances. The 100% vegetarian feed is supplemented with vitamin E and A which helps strengthen natural immunities. Each member rancher works with Soil and Water Conservation District and utilizes range conservation practices to ensure the long-term health of the streams, springs, grasslands and eco-systems. The Choice-plus beef of Painted Hills has enough marbling to ensure juicy and tender results, and the 21 days of aging creates a distinctive flavor.
Australian Grass Fed Beef
Australia has vast pastureland, clean rainfall and abundant sunshine. Sounds like a great recipe for raising cattle. Our grass fed beef comes from another group of ranchers that want to keep things natural and humane when it comes to raising cattle. The Angus and Hereford cattle are born and raised completely free-range in grass pastures of alfalfa and rye, high protein grasses which convert to soft-textured muscle, not fat. All the exercise the cattle get in the pasture contributes to a firm, yet springy texture in the beef. The lean and tender meat has a mild flavor profile, and offers high protein, minerals and B-group vitamins such as niacin, thiamin and zinc. Grass fed beef tends to be lower in fat, and ours has about 30% less than conventionally raised, grain-finished beef. At D'Artagnan, quality and consistency are important to us and our clients, and Australian grass-fed beef offers both.
Domestic Wagyu
The Wagyu cattle are an extraordinary breed, native to Japan, where they developed in isolation with a unique genetic propensity to high marbling. Feeding programs encourage the cattle to put on fat in all the right places, and the Japanese have evolved special regimens for their cattle. At D'Artagnan, we work with ranchers who raise Wagyu in Texas, where the cattleman is still king. East meets west with Texas ranching know-how and the influence of Japanese feeding techniques.
Cattle begin on pasture land and are then introduced to a gradual feeding system, with seven different feed variations, free-choice minerals, and fresh water. Our ranchers produce high-quality Wagyu beef without the help of hormones or antibiotics. No animal by-products are ever fed to the cattle, and they are fully monitored at every stage of their growth. The resulting delicate and rich Wagyu beef is graded Prime 90% of the time, and then is graded according to the Japanese Beef Marbling Standards (BMS) system, which scores the amount of marbling in the meat, ranking beef from 1 to 12. Scores from 8 and up indicate levels of abundant marbling, and the top of the BMS scale (12) would be mean that the fat marbling was extremely abundant. The Japanese further rank beef on overall quality from 1 to 5 (being excellent), which takes into account the marbling, yield, color and texture as well as fat quality.
Australian Wagyu
Building on a tradition of raising fine beef, Australia has taken to raising Wagyu cattle; outside of Japan, the Australian Wagyu Association is the largest breed association in the world. Our ranchers raise Tajima Black Wagyu stock, a breed that in Japan used to pull carts and ploughs so it developed large forequarters but kept a small frame. The Tajima cattle grow slowly but produce excellent beef, with plenty of white marbling. The intramuscular fat in Wagyu cattle is different than other breeds—it contains high levels of mono-unsaturated acids and oleates, which give the beef a distinctive nutty taste.
To guarantee the healthy nature of Australian Wagyu beef, none of the cattle are treated with antibiotic or hormonal growth promotants, nor do they have access to any genetically modified feeds. A complete life history is maintained for each animal, and from the day each calf is born, the ranchers control everything it eats, and how it is handled. Raising Wagyu beef has been elevated to an art form in Japan and the Australian ranchers are taking a page from their book, producing some of the finest graded Wagyu outside of Japan.

Full SubmissionTHIRD Planet Engaging the Public ? Finding Solutions November 1, 2011, The following brief observations are offered for consideration by Third Planet a non-governmental organization accredited as an observer organization to the UNFCCC (2000) and accredited to the WSSD (2002). While both the Green Economy and an Institutional Framework for Sustainable Development are very necessary Third Planet?s primary concerns today are driven by solutions for adaptation and building resiliency to climate change. The document for the Green Economy should certainly state its overarching goal of mitigating greenhouse gases, among its many other benefits and the document on an Institutional Framework for Sustainable Development could present a vehicle for setting the agenda on capacity-building for adaptation to climate change. The Issues Brief 3 ?IFSD: Issues related to an intergovernmental body on SD?, in its only reference to climate change, states that ?CSD, or a similar body, can provide useful policy guidance and contribute towards setting the intergovernmental SD agenda on selected issues?. Our view however is that neither of these documents can contribute the strong voice now needed on adaptation to climate change. There is high level cooperation withinthe UNFCCC on this issue and certainly the role of the UN?s Chief Executives Board for Coordination (CEB) should not be understated. In fact CEB?s role should be a flag for the importance attributed to the issue. Our view is that the need for capacity-building for adaptation and resiliency, in both the north and south, now goes far beyond the objectives of the Nairobi Work Programme and needs to be the purview of a high visibility organization responsible exclusively for Adaptation to Climate Change. Certainly IPCC should continue to provide the scientific assessments and assert their role as the experts and SBSTA needs to be intimately involved but currently Adaptation, per se, is ?lost? to the world outside the United Nations. Adaptation must be elevated into the public consciousness. We can begin that process with a separate Adaptation-specific outcome at Rio+20 that draws attention to the fact that sustainable development cannot exist without both mitigation and adaptation to climate change. Adaptation to Global Climate Change is so important now that Rio+20 should include the high-level adaptation elements of the conventions and conferences on desertification, biological diversity, migratory species, wetlands, oceans, disaster reduction and sustainable development. How we best present their findings and undertakings to our communities, whether in a separate convention or not, might be worthy of consideration and development.

Hi all, I remember a while back someone asked a question about cleaning their house and someone else posted an extensive (and impressive) multi-tabbed excel spreadsheet with a schedule they follow for cleaning their house including tasks which are done monthly, quarterly and semi-annually. I grabbed it at the time and saved it *somewhere* but I can't find it! We have had a person cleaning our house bi-weekly now for a couple of years. However I recently started working from home 3 days per week and therefore am saving about 9 hours a week in commuting time so I can't really justify the expense of a cleaner with the "I don't have time" excuse anymore!
I am hoping the person who posted the spreadsheet will see this message and repost it? If not, any general tips on keeping up w/cleaning? Do you clean the whole house at once or break it up into a couple tasks a day to make it more manageable? We have a 4 bed, 1.75 bath house that is around 2200 square feet. Not huge but it would probably take me 3-4 hours of straight cleaning from top to bottom (I think?). Thanks in advance!!

So yeah, there's been a big furor over Kate Middleton's sleeved blue Issa London dress. I'm betting the reason for its rapid sell-out has less to do with Middleton's impeccable style (which she has) and more to do with what a lovely, endlessly flattering piece it is. So we're answering the call today with a gallery of sleeved, kimono and shirt-style navy dresses that will look great on you and won't break the bank. Please note that because we limited ourselves to under $200, we did end up with a few, uh, looser interpretations, but I think in spirit it's the same: deep blue, sleeved and very pretty all around. Special thanks to Intern Jillian for scouring the internet with me.

Lady Pirates Sail to Victory over Lady Bears
BALTIMORE, Md.—Hampton University's Keiara Avant shot 14-of-19 from the field and the senior forward scored 22 of' her career- and game-high 32 points in the second half to lead the visiting Hampton Lady Pirates to an 81-60 victory over Morgan State in a Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) contest at Hill Field House on Feb. 2.
The Lady Bears stayed close with the three-time defending champion Lady Pirates in the first half. Morgan State held a 13-9 lead, before Hampton used a 9-0 run to reclaim the lead 18-13. Morgan State pulled within a one point deficit after six straight points by sophomore guard Chyress Lockhart. Lockhart later would drain a three-pointer to cut the Hampton lead to 31-28 at the intermission.
But Hampton (17-5, 8-0 MEAC) blew open a 54-50 game with 7:39 remaining in the game, by using a 21-8 run over the next four minutes and 10 seconds to take a 75-58 cushion with 3:29 left in the contest.
The Lady Pirates shot 34-of-71 (47.9 percent) from the floor, including 7-of-19 (36.8 percent) from three-point range. Morgan State shot 32 percent (20-of-61) for the game and was 2-for-12 (16.7 percent) from three-point range.
Avant also pulled down a game-high 13 rebounds to record a double-double. Junior forward Alyssa Bennett also tallied a double-double with 16 points and 12 rebounds, while senior guard Olivia Allen finished with 15 points for the Lady Pirates, who extended their winning streak to eight straight games.
Morgan State (6-14, 3-5 MEAC) was led by Lockhart, who came off the bench to score a game-high 16 points. Sophomore guard Tracey Carrington and senior guard Bianca Jarrett each added 13 points.
Morgan State connected on 18-of-28 from the charity stripe, while the Lady Pirates went 6-of-10 from the free throw line. Hampton held a 49-37 rebounding advantage over the Lady Bears.
The Lady Bears bench outscored Hampton, 25-6, but the guests outscored Morgan State 40-22 in points in the paint.
The Lady Bears will return to action on Feb. 4 when they play host to the Spartans of Norfolk State. Tip-off is slated for 5:30 p.m. at Hill Field House. Norfolk State defeated Morgan State in the first meeting, 81-68 on Jan. 21 in Norfolk, Va. The Spartans will be coming off a 79-49 loss at Coppin State on Saturday.

"A call to arms" may be a bit martial for many bioethicists, but we live in perilous times. Meaningful action is needed across the board with respect to the functioning of government, whether federal, state, or local. We are confronted with the effects of benighted policies (or lack of policies and lack of regulations) that threaten to destroy our national (and global) financial system, our national health care "system" (really a default hodgepodge of buyers, sellers, and canny middlemen), and our global ecosystem. Standards of living continue to erode in the U.S. and Europe. Unemployment persists at high levels. In the United States, at least, educational achievement is in free fall. We live in a national culture that has degraded to the narrow perspective of me and mine. It is not an exaggeration to assert that many Americans have lost their moral compass, if indeed they ever had one. For the rest of us, those who recall what it means to be blessed with the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, it is long past time to do what anchorman Howard Beale did in Network: throw open the windows to the street, lean our heads out, and shout I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!

Sign up for Office 365
Learn more about Office 365
I setup a P1 account just for myself and set up two user mailboxes, each with admin rights (mailbox1 for my private emails, mailbox2 for my business emails).
The setup for both user mailboxes was done in a similar way.
I did not set any retention policies during the setup, but now I see that both mailboxes have very different retention ploicies. Also, retention policies for mailbox1 seem to be confliction.
Mailbox2 has no retention policies set.
Mailbox1 has following 6 retention policies set: Name/retentionaction/retentionperiod
1month delete/delete/30days
1week delete/delete/7days
Default 2year move to archive/default archive/2year
Never delete/delete/unlimited
Personal 1year move to archive/archive/1year
Personal never move to archive/archive/unlimited
These policies seem conflicting. I do not want to have any retention policies set, but a remark says that "the policy was assigned by your administrator and cannot be changed".
But I am the sole administrator and I never set the policies.
So what to do?
How can I remove the retention settings?
Thanks for the feedback.
This 6 retention tags are all available tags which can be used by users.
Unless being tagged to mailbox folders or emails by end users manually, these tags will not take effect.
No action is required.
Thanks for the info.
On my PC, following is shown under File -> Info -> Account settings:
Mailbox1: "Mail messages in this account are automatically moved to the online archive after 2years"
Mailbox2: nothing is written about moving to archive.
Does that mean that a tag is set for mailbox1? But I did not set it. How can I remove the tag?
Yes, the default tags has one called move to archive after 2 years.
But, if you has not enabled personal archive, you can ignore it. Even you enable the personal archive, (ECP, mailbox, details, mailbox feature, archive), emails will be moved to archive mailbox, will not be deleted. It's really not recommended to remove the default tag.
The difference you see between these 2 mailboxes is due to the managed folder assistant running interval. You will see move 2 archive after 2 years for both mailboxes eventually.
Dear Winston,
Your info is really helpful for me as a newcomer to Office 365.
I looked into how to enable the archive.
I found following help file:
It says to do the following:
Enable the archive mailbox
1. Select Manage My Organization > Users & Groups > Mailboxes.
2. Select the mailbox you want to enable the archive mailbox for and click Details.
3. Under Mailbox Features, select Archive and click Enable.
However, when I follow this procedure for my account, I do not see "Mailbox Features" under "Details"
best regards,
Hello Turboman,
Thanks for your feedback.
Do you mean that you cannot see "Mailbox Features" under "Details" at Exchange Control Panel?
If so, you may refer to the following steps to enable archive via PowerShell.
1. Install and Configure Windows PowerShell.
2. Connect Windows PowerShell to the Service.
3. Run command "Enable-Mailbox user –Archive".
Best regards,
Hello Turboman,
How are the things going?
In addition, do you need further assistance on the issue?
Best regards,
hello Claud,
To answer your questions, I cannot see "Mailbox Features" under "Details" at Exchange Control Panel.
Should I see it when I have a P1 account?
I am not an IT specialist, and would like to avoid using PowerShell.
Hi turboman,
I have just tested this with my P1 account, and the Mailbox Features is available. If you select Details, it should pop up a new window with sections including Mailbox Settings, Email Options, Organization, etc. Mailbox Features is towards the bottom of this list.
I have the same issue. I have two Office 365 domains (both P1, separate accounts). One account has the "Mailbox Features" and the other account does not. I have also noticed that whatever service is suppose to cleanup the Deleted Items after 30 days is not working. I tried all the powershell commands and they do not work. For reference, here are my other messages related to this issue:
Online Archive / Archive Mailbox Not Available
P1 plan, retention policies and archiving
hello Alex,
Like JustinS, I still cannot see "Mailbox Features" either.
I got a quasi-confirmation from my post in another thread.
Evan Zhang MSFT Support "Thanks for your information, we also tested and noticed this could be an issue. [...] And as far as I know, Anna is working on the Retention Policy icon disappearing issue in another thread, so you may discuss with her or you could open a new thread for individually discussion if needed."
Disable All Retention Policies
I looked through Anna's activity however I could not find the thread he mentioned.
Hello turboman,
Your post was responded to in a private message.
Thank you,Alexander JuddO365 Community Support
I replied thanks!
I replied too.
As I am not an IT specialist, I hope a solution can be found without Powershell.
Thanks for the help.

"I am really excited about this performance that I've been working toward for four years," Sasser said. "It's involved lots of hours of practice and hard work and I am so ready for it to be here."
"Carli and I have been really good friends since we came to OBU," Martin explained. "Our moms knew each other and even sang together, so this is a special experience for the two of us."
Martin is a senior choral music education major from Garland, Texas. She won 3rd place in the 2014 Shambarger Competition, is a National Association of Teachers of Singing finalist, serves as vice president of Ouachita Singers and also is in the Ouachita Concert Choir.

Martin's solo performances will include "Alleluia" from Antonio Vivaldi's O Qui Coeli Terraeque Serenitas, "Ah! non credea mirarti" from Vincenzo Bellini's La Sonnambula, "Verschwiegene Liebe" and "Elfenlied" by Hugo Wolf, "Cacile" by Richard Strauss, "The Year's at the Spring" and "Ah! Love But a Day" by H.H.A. Beach and "I Shall Not Live in Vain" by Jake Heggie.

Ouachita Baptist University's School of Fine Arts will present the OBU Percussion Ensemble in concert featuring a special guest appearance by acclaimed percussionist Dr. Scott Herring on March 18. The recital, which is free and open to the public, will be held at 7:30 p.m. in McBeth Recital Hall.
Herring serves as professor of percussion at the University of South Carolina as well as director of the USC Percussion Ensemble and Palmetto Pans Steel Band. Herring earned a Bachelor of Music degree from East Carolina University and a master's degree and Doctor of Music degree from Northwestern University. He has performed all around the world in places such as China England, France, Germany and Spain and is often featured as a guest artist with other university percussion ensembles across the U.S. Herring currently performs with the RoseWind Duo and the Shiraz Percussion Trio.
Ensemble director Dr. Ryan Lewis, OBU assistant professor of music, noted that each of the pieces in the concert "has a place in my heart and an important purpose for my students."
The concert will begin with Baljinder Sekhon's "We Are the Weapons," which Lewis describes as a piece that "juxtaposes both militaristic music portraying the sound of guns and violence and peaceful music performed on keyboard percussion instruments."
Three of Elliot Cole's "Postludes for Bowed Vibraphone" will be performed throughout the concert, which is considered one of the new classics of percussion chamber music. The vibraphone creates "a haunting, beautiful sound similar to a glass harmonica," Lewis noted.
The concert will continue with sophomore music education major Aaron Breeding performing George Hamilton Green's "Log Cabin Blues" with a marimba quartet.
The Percussion Ensemble's final selection will be Ney Rosauro's "Brazilian Myths" for percussion quartet. The piece "portrays five Brazilian mythological personalities" and is a "colorful, entertaining, beautiful, scary wonderful piece to rehearse and perform," Lewis said.
Lewis and Herring then will perform a new marimba duet titled "All Systems Go" by Jeffery Dennis Smith. Herring will then conclude the program with a solo, "Tiger Dance."
Members of the Ouachita Percussion ensemble include: Aaron Breeding, a sophomore instrumental music education major from Springdale, Ark.; Robert Desoto, a freshman mass communications major from Sheridan, Ark.; Drew Ervin, a senior music major from Springdale, Ark.; Carter Harlan, a junior instrumental music education major from Arkadelphia, Ark.; Chris Hogan, a senior instrumental music education major from Bartlesville, Okla.; Van O'Rorke, a freshman instrumental music education major from Hot Springs, Ark.; Elva Rosas, a junior business administration and finance major from Arkadelphia, Ark.; Abby Tipps, a freshman instrumental music education major from Sulphur Springs, Texas; Zack Willis, a freshman performance major from Redfield, Ark.; and Weston Wills, a freshman instrumental music education major from Norphlet, Ark.

Baker's program will include J.S. Bach's "Sonata in E Minor for Flute and Harpsichord" ("I. Adagio ma non tanto," "II. Allegro," "III. Andante" and "IV. Allegro"); "II.

Ouachita Baptist University's Division of Music will host Emma Patterson and Evan Rogers in their senior recitals on Friday, March 21, at 11 a.m. in Mabee Fine Arts Center's McBeth Recital Hall. The event is free and open to the public.
"This recital gives me an opportunity to show what I have learned over the past four years, and to show my friends and family why I love music so much," said Patterson, a choral music education major from Garland, Texas. She will present a vocal recital.
The selections Patterson will perform include: "Prepare Thyself Zion" from J.S. Bach's Christmas Oratorio, "Dove Sei" from George Frederic Handel's Rodelinda, "Tout gai!" from Maurice Ravel's Cinq melodies populaires greques, "Seit ich ihn geschen" and "Er, der herrlichste von allen" from Robert Schumann's Frauenliebe und Leben, "He's Gone Away" by Jake Heggie, Duke Ellington's "It Don't Mean a Thing" from Sophisticated Ladies and Sammy Fain's "I'll Be Seeing You" from Right This Way.
"I have been building a repertoire of songs since freshman year," Patterson added. "My voice teacher and I selected songs I enjoyed singing the most and the songs that sounded best in my voice. I made sure to have a good mix of songs from different time periods and genres."
Rogers, a senior church music major from Jacksonville, Ark., will present a euphonium recital. Rogers is a member of Kappa Kappa Psi national honorary band fraternity and the Ouachita Wind Ensemble.
"We selected songs that were classics of the instrumental world and some pieces in the vocal world," said Rogers. "The euphonium is a 'singing' instrument, so vocal literature works well on it, too."
Rogers' performance will include "I. Rondo" from Antonio Capuzzi's Concerto for Double Bass; "Ave Verum Corpus" by W.A. Mozart; "I. Adagio," "V. Andante Tranquillo" and "VI. Allegro Vivace" from R. Vaughan Williams' Six Studies in English Folk Song; "II. Andante Molto Sostenuto" and "I. Allegro" from Kazimierz Serocki's Sonatina for Trombone and Piano; and "Bless This House" by May H. Brahe.
"This recital is the culmination of my four years of study and a good chance to introduce a wide audience to the beauty the euphonium can produce," Rogers added. "I'm an ambassador for my instrument in particular and for music in general."

Bleacherreport claims it will be the youth movement at wide receiver.
It's hard to be overly critical of one of the league's most successful franchises of all time, but the decision to let Wes Welker, Deion Branch, Brandon Lloyd and Donte Stallworth go is a risky proposition for any offense—even one led by Tom Brady.
Danny Amendola was brought in to replace Welker's production in the slot. This is no small feat to expect of any receiver.
Amendola has had trouble staying healthy over the last two years in St. Louis, but has shown promise when available.
The Patriots decided to satisfy their glaring need for receivers by drafting Aaron Dobson out of Marshall in the second round and Josh Boyce from TCU in the fourth.
These guys, although talented, are suddenly expected to come in as rookies and learn a system that has notoriously overwhelmed veteran pass-catchers without even a second thought.
This plan would be understandable if the Patriots were rebuilding, but anytime you have a Tom Brady on your team, the Super Bowl is always the goal.
This issue at wide receiver is further compounded by the devastating offseason developments at the tight end position.
What was once a position admired by the entire league is now a major question mark which all leads to one major concern. Who is Tom Brady going to throw to?

Atlantic Beach is hoping a grant will help them provide more family entertainment.
The town applied for a $500,000 grant with the North Carolina Parks and Recreation Trust Fund to help the town build phase one of a million-dollar park in the Atlantic Beach Commons.
The first phase will have a mini-golf course, a new playground, and a skate park.
The town is asking for letters of support from the public to help get the grant. Mayor Trace Cooper says so far they've received more than 200. "For a resort community this is not just parks and recreation, this is economic development for us, there are, you know we're competing with other resort areas for vacation dollars and people come to the beach they expect to see amenities like putt putt and water parks and if we don't provide those things they'll go somewhere else."
Cooper says the town would like to start construction later this year and says with or without the grant- there will be additions to the park.
If you would like to send an email of support, the email address to use is email@example.com.

Hi all.
I'm a SysAdmin and I implemented Blackberry Enterprise Server 4.1.6 with Zimbra Collaboration Suite 6.0.1 Network Edition.
Everything was perfect for one year, but 3 days ago, after restarting Zimbra, all devices have failed to synchronize.
In BES everything seems fine.
I tried to resend service book, shutdown..etc, but the devices still don't receive mail. It does not work either.
I know this way works: wipping device, add user again to bes and activate mail in device, but I would not do it manually in 30 devices...
Any procedure to try from BES?

Cyclones Volunteer With VERB
AMES, Iowa� Five juniors from the Iowa State soccer team took time between summer school classes and training to participate in a VERB Assembly at Fellows Elementary School June 1.
VERB is an Iowa State initiative aimed at promoting physical activity among youth ages 8-13. The organization is run by ISU Human Health and Performance professor Greg Welk. The program is structured so that Cyclone student-athletes encourage participation in various activities throughout the summer including hiking, canoeing, soccer, kickball, running and sports clinics.
At the event, the Cyclones introduced themselves to the elementary school students and spoke to them about the importance of staying fit and the benefits of an active lifestyle.
"We attended the VERB Assembly to promote physical activity for kids in the community," Lauren Fader, senior captain for ISU said . "We talked to them about what our �VERB' is- to encourage an active lifestyle."
The ISU women handed out Frisbees and passed out fliers with information about VERB.
"I think it's really important to support programs like VERB because they get kids up and moving instead of sitting on the computer or playing video games," Fader said.
Senior Adrianna O'Neill also attended the event.
"VERB is a great program because it encourages kids to become active at a young age," O'Neill said.
O'Neill commented on the position of being a role model for the youth in the community.
"The kids really look up to you as a college athlete," O'Neill said. "It's a great feeling to know they're really interested in what you have to say."

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (WUSA) -- Gun owners at the Maryland Small Arms Range in Upper Marlboro are anxiously awaiting the details of president Obama's executive order restricting guns.
The White House has announced the President will unveil his plan on Wednesday.
Gun owners we spoke to say they fear their 2nd amendment rights will change once Obama's executive order takes effect.
Beth Cawood, a regular and shooting enthusiast at MSAR, said, "I'm concerned that our right to bear arms is going to be limited...that its going to be infringed upon."
She believes the focus needs to be put not into more restrictions for gun owners but rather into understanding the minds of crazed killers who decide to take on murderous rampages like we've seen lately.
She added, "I think we need mechanisms to address mental health concerns."
Like her many, gun owners say as long as there are ill willed people wanting to harm others then law abiding citizens need to be able to protect themselves.
Cawood said, "I always say my rifles are not assault rifles. They are defense rifles."
