Full SubmissionSTATEMENT OF THE EUROPEAN Youth MEETING FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 2011. Introduction Young people from around Europe and the world gathered from 19 to 24 July 2011 to participate at the European Youth Meeting on Sustainable Development (EYM2011) held in Tallinn. The meeting was part of the build up to the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) to be held in June 2012 in Rio de Janeiro. This document is a record of the discussion that took place during the meeting and forms part of the process of developing a global Youth position ahead of Rio+20. Participants were representatives of Youth organisations and young individuals from all fields of work and life. This statement is intended as a clear and strong message to mobilise young people across the globe ahead of Rio+20. The participants focused on the first Gretheeme n econoof mRyio+20: in the contex� t of sustainable development and poverty eradi. Theyc woratikoned on the following seven topics: - Natural resources - Education for sustainable development - Urban development - Agriculture - Renewable energy - Waste management - Social wellbeing This document contains the key challenges and the ways forward from each topic. Best practices were also explored and have been made available separately. The meeting recognises that all these topics are inter�related with particular synergies between Natural Resources, Urban Development, Agriculture, Renewable Energy and Waste Management. The meeting also particularly noted that Social Wellbeing and Education have a crosscutting application and should be attached to all areas of sustainable development. Furthermore, in synthesising the discussions, common areas and shared ways forward have been clustered under the most relevant topic. No area should be seen in isolation, and overlapping topics have been cross-referenced. 1. Natural resources Key challenges Lack of distribution of information Transforming our mind-sets to use natural resources more sustainably in our daily lives is one of the key challenges of our century. Informed, educated and aware people are more conscious and more likely to respect natural resources. A circular rather than a linear approach should be brought into peoples utilization and behaviour of natural resource management. We borrow from nature rather than own it. Mismanagement of natural resources Natural resource use is currently oriented to a short-term perspective. Long-term vision must be instated to ensure the availability of natural resources for current and future generations. Young people have the responsibility to ensure that governments, institutions as well as the private sector commit to manage natural resources in a sustainable way, as we will be inheriting any mismanagement and associated problems. Access to natural resources Unequal distribution of natural resources is a fact, however, it is civil society�s responsibility to cooperate and ensure that they are equally accessible to everyone. Natural resources essential to life should be available to and protected for everyone regardless of their location, economic situation or socio-cultural background, in particular indigenous peoples. Transfer of knowledge and technology Although the technology to manage natural resources sustainably is available, it is accessible only to a restricted number of actors. Moving towards global green economy, information sharing and mutual exchange needs to be largely developed and improved. Moreover, human know-how and infrastructure are essential for a successful implementation of knowledge transfer. The link between trade and natural resources A fair and green economy is essential for sustainable development. It is a challenge as well as a solution to link trade and natural resources, as the trade of natural resources determines their management. The Doha Development Round as well as other global platforms has to include a strong sustainability perspective. Ways forward Changing mind-sets States, Youth-led organisations, and young individuals should aim to raise awareness on the sustainable use of natural resources among Youth by different media & networking on topics such as: spreading best practices of sustainable behaviour, promoting integrated educational systems, changing the focus on material consumption to valuing natural resources as a global commons rather than a commercial amenity. Good governance of natural resources In order to attain a long-term vision on sustainable management of resources, research and development needs to be improved, exchanged and made accessible to decision makers. A strategic approach has to be followed by all institutions and the decision�making process needs to adopt a multi-stakeholder approach to ensure accountability and participation. Multi-lateral process for fair and secure access to natural resources In order to improve fair and secure universal access to basic natural resources, we have to ensure commitments to international treaties by member states through ratification and implementation by 2030. The establishment of a monitory body is suggested to prevent land grabbing and penalize unfair large scale corporate land acquisition. Enabling transfer of knowledge and technology Transfer of knowledge and technology requires national and international finance mechanisms. Technological innovation should be encouraged through research and development and made accessible to all stakeholders. New knowledge and technology that is highly effective in the protection of natural resources or in the provision of access to the most vulnerable persons should not be withheld, patented or privatized. Introducing sustainable resource management into current trade systems Multilateralism and multi-stakeholder approaches are essential to avoid contradiction between environmental agreements and trade policies. The international trading system must be transparent and equitable. The conclusion of the Doha Development Round as well as Rio+20 must link trade and natural resources. Local sourcing of natural resources should be actively encouraged. 2. Education for sustainable development (ESD) Key challenges Lack of engagement outside the formal education system Only a small proportion of Youth is engaged in ESD. The challenge is to reach people in the first place, as well as to inspire and educate them. Without this process Youth are inhibited from becoming agents of change for a more sustainable world. Lack of support for non-formal ESD There is a lack of funding for non-formal ESD, as well as a lack of effective partnership and collaboration between government and civil society organisations (CSOs) working to implement ESD. There is also a lack of political will to increase the quality of non-formal ESD. Implementation of ESD It is a challenge to implement ESD at all levels of the formal educational system, including kindergartens, primary and secondary schools and higher education, as well as driving schools and professional training centres. Part of this challenge is not only to include ESD in the curricula but to take a multidisciplinary approach, providing equal gender access and integrating ESD across all subjects. Inadequate teacher training There is a need for more quantity of and quality in teacher training in the area of ESD. This teacher training is essential in order to engage more people in ESD and have a larger impact. Monitoring and evaluation There is a need for methods and indicators to measure the impact of ESD in both formal and non-formal education, in order to improve its implementation and ensure that it reaches the targeted groups. Ways forward Simple, short and attractive campaigns Run by CSOs (including Youth-led groups), these campaigns will target Youth to encourage debate on sustainable development. The funding should come from the national body* according to the national ESD strategy (*explained later on in the document). The experiences and materials of existing simple, short and attractive campaigns should be exchanged. Creating more networking opportunities To give CSOs access to knowledge, experience sharing, support for their projects, creating new and merging existing ideas and projects, an open source based network is required. There is a need to create or improve umbrella networks such as Youth councils and forums for Youth CSOs, that act as national and regional representatives for the CSOs. These CSOs should meet regularly for sharing experiences, new ideas and create policy proposals for Youth activity in ESD, from grassroots to the top. Creation of a national body and a national ESD strategy A national body, including representatives of Youth organisations, should be created for the allocation of funds for ESD projects, in line with national SD, regional and global policies. More cooperation and collaboration between research organisations and other Civil Society groups should be encouraged to present new ideas and emphasize existing national policies on ESD. ESD implementation and integration into the curricula on all levels of education Governments should ensure the efficient implementation and integration of ESD in all levels of the education system and in all subjects by 2015, the final year of the MDGs. To achieve long�term and high impact change in society, the teacher training institutions should also include specialised and integrated training on sustainable development. Schools should be transformed into comprehensive learning environments, where sustainable lifestyles are promoted daily, hence imparting practical skills on sustainable living. Global partnership for ESD Effective partnership between developing and developed countries should be promoted through open coordination methods. This should be implemented on regional and global level by 2015 and beyond, using existing experience from international platforms of UNESCO and regional cooperation organisations. Evaluation and monitoring An online form is created where all people who participate in formal or non-formal ESD will be registered. After participating in SD projects or activities, they will register the activity online. Registration of participation can be done either by the person themselves or by the direct educator or project manager. This is an effective way of measuring approaches, success and the long-term effects of ESD on people attsitudes and behaviour. 3. Urban development Key challenges City planning City planning is not being done with the appropriate independence of city planners, but under the influence of interest groups, technical and financial difficulties. Implementation of already existing best practices, know�how and case studies in the future planning is not ensured. There is a lack of a holistic approach in terms of changing citizen behaviour, mentality and attitudes. There is no transparency in environmental budgeting and expenditures. Transportation Intensive urbanisation and daily migration lead to mobility inefficiency. Public transport coverage cannot meet the needs of the rapid dynamic of cities. Lack of eco-friendly transportation leads to pollution and health hazards. Modern technologies such as GPS and GIS are not used enough in order to improve the mobility efficiency. Housing, work and services Cities are occupying new spaces instead of re-adjusting and re-using existing ones. Jobs and services such as health, education, culture and recreation are not in close proximity of residential zones. There is a lack of symbiotic planning in cities as an organic entity at the neighbourhood scale, where all the needs of the population are at a reachable distance. This would reduce movements and therefore general traffic issues. Waste management, water and energy distribution Public services cannot meet the needs of growing population. Out-dated network systems lead to great loss of resources. Green architecture Green architecture still is not a standard, rather an option. Planning policies and architectural practices neither require, nor encourage the development of cities according to principles of sustainability. Ways forward City planning Urban spaces should be re-designed and adjusted into new multifunctional contents. City planning must not endanger the social and cultural heritage of cities and should be co-ordinated with rural development. We encourage cities to implement already existing good practices and methodologies, as well as certification and confirmation of cities efforts toward sustainable urban development. We call for participatory decision-making approaches in order to build trust between cities and their inhabitants. Transport Cities should focus on fast, frequent, effective and renewable energy powered transport that is affordable and accessible for different social groups in all city areas. Authorities should be exemplary and supportive in using more eco-friendly means of transport in cities such as bicycles, electric and hybrid cars, carpooling, park and ride, and increase awareness among the population. Satellite technologies must be used for route optimising and monitoring systems. Housing, work and services Policymakers should develop residential areas with locally provided services contributing to social cohesion. In these areas local businesses, manufacturing of goods and urban farming should be integrated. This will reduce the need for commuting and create a closer link between the urban population and the products they consume. Water, energy and waste management Public funding programmes should aim at raising efficiency and modernisation of supply networks and households. Also, awareness on sustainable consumption and saving technologies should be raised through information campaigns. Furthermore, the cities must secure re�use of resources, primary waste separation, waste collection coverage and ensure adequate treatment. Green architecture Governments should promote the introduction of innovative and sustainable technologies in architecture through financial incentives and technical standards. These standards should include national criteria, indicators and benchmarks that will serve as the base of sustainable green architecture along with a pool of available green features. 4. Waste management Key challenges Lack of awareness of waste creation and ways to minimize it People are unaware of the actual amount of waste they produce in their everyday life and therefore they have no intention to reduce waste. Imbalanced culture of consumerism, which leads to increased waste production Present consumption externalizes the costs of the full production cycle, thus producing too many short lifecycle products. Consumers remain unaware of waste production during this process. Long-term thinking and investments is overshadowed by short-term profit Investment is often focused on short-term profit rather than sustainable profit. This prevents infrastructural development in waste management systems. Lack of responsibility for resource lifecycle The responsibility of manufacturers to the production of waste is often limited and ends after the sale of goods. Consumers have little access and no legal responsibilities to reduce, reuse and recycle. Few economic incentives for waste reduction Economic and legal frameworks do not encourage sustainable production. Cradle-to-cradle design and production is often provided with less incentive than cradle-to-grave. Ways forward: Raising awareness to minimise waste Awareness of methods for waste prevention and reduction should be raised using multiplying effects. Governments should finance more studies and research on waste management. Zero-�waste-school programs should be established at a national level and implemented at a local level. Companies and workplaces should invest in strategies to decrease their waste production, including information towards and participation of employees. Balancing consumerism and production cycles The production process should be made more transparent by introducing uniform global standards and labelling systems for the whole product lifecycle. The lifecycle of resources and products should be extended by increasing the quality of products and by creating re-use centres, where broken products can be repaired, recycled and resold. At these centres, craftsmanship professions would be revived and the centres would eventually become self-financing. Promoting long-term and sustainable investment A higher tax rate on disposable single-use products should eventually lead to a shift towards manufacturing of more reusable products. An international program should enable capacity building and sharing of knowledge and skills to countries with a lack of sufficient infrastructure for recycling. An online database for secondary resource exchange could foster local cooperation and resource management between businesses. Foster responsibility regarding the lifecycle of products A legal framework for extended product lifecycle should be created in order to increase responsibility of manufacturers and consumers. It should lead to a larger scale production of versatile products and product components such as universal chargers. Products must have a spare parts catalogue available, where the price of spare parts must be cheaper than the product itself. Re-use or use of recycled products should be promoted and disposable products should be phased out. Increasing economic incentives for resource management Government should implement sanctions for excessive packaging and non-biodegradable packaging. Tax breaks should be granted to manufacturers that use recycled sources for the production of their goods. Separate food waste collection in every urban area at a very favourable price should be organised. Local government should ensure material flow (resources) rather than final disposal (landfill in general) by increasing landfill taxes and banning waste export. 5. Agriculture Key challenges Oil dependency The agriculture industry is heavily dependent on oil for the production of fertilisers, transportation of products, and the heating of greenhouses. In the time after peak oil, this will pose an increasing challenge to productivity and profitability. Socio-economic inequalities Small-scale farmers have to compete with agro-multinationals. Food prices are determined on the international market in a game of supply and demand, but with huge differences in negotiation power among producers and between producers and buyers. Price structures There is a lack of transparency as to what causes the large and sudden jumps in food prices. Also, externalities such as the ecological cost of long-distance transportation are not fully taken into account in the price. Biodiversity and the challenges of biotechnology Deforestation for agriculture leads to a loss of biodiversity. The increasing use of GMOs also decreases biodiversity, as well as the fact that the funds invested in the development of GMOs are therefore excluded from other endeavours. Depletion of water food resources Many commercial fisheries are getting depleted. There is a need for an international regulation of fishing rights in coastal and international waters. Soil and fresh water management Over 70% of global fresh water is used for agriculture, often in unsustainable ways. The increasing use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides lead to degradation of soil quality. Deforestation often leads to erosion of the soil, further reducing the fertility of the land. Land use competition The use of land for production of food crops conflicts with many other interests, especially the production of agrofuel crops, feed crops for livestock, cash crops for export and the preservation of natural environments. Ways forward To promote the sustainable use of natural resources in agriculture and food systems Greater efforts should be made to improve awareness of resource utilisation in land and water ecosystems. Furthermore, appropriate policies and economic incentives must be designed and implemented to ensure that the sustainable use of natural resources is achieved. To plan and implement a worldwide transition to systems of sustainable post-oil agriculture Appropriate policies and economic incentives must be designed and implemented to deliver a transition from conventional monoculture�based and input-intensive agriculture to agro-ecological, biodiverse farming systems. This should include but not be limited to decentralised, small-scale, organic, permaculture, and urban systems of agriculture. To empower disadvantaged rural people and their communities Appropriate policies and regulations must be designed to empower small-scale and subsistence farmers. These must promote rural development by ensuring social inclusion, universal access to tools and vocational training, and more equal power distribution between producers and buyers. To ensure inclusive governance and decision-making processes Meaningful participation of vulnerable stakeholders, such as women, indigenous peoples, landless rural workers, and small-scale farmers should be increased in agri-food governance, policy-and decision- making processes, from a local to a global level. To strengthen the global partnership that supports adaptation to climate change Increase availability of existing knowledge and technology to farming communities in regions vulnerable to the effects of present and projected climate change such as decreasing rainfall, rising temperatures and more frequent natural disasters. 6. Social Wellbeing Key challenges Lack of widespread access to quality and affordable health care Health is presently focused on the physical aspect and often excludes mental and social wellbeing. The main challenges are the effect of human activity and climate change on human health. The current symptomatic rather than preventative approach, the lack of awareness and education on health related issues as well as lack of widespread access to quality and affordable healthcare are also challenges to tackle. Lack of social cohesion and solidarity Cohesion and solidarity between different groups in society, while essential to social wellbeing, is often neglected. The gaps between rich and poor, men and women, and different ethnic groups are large. These social divisions encourage misunderstanding, lack of cooperation, and even cause conflicts. Lack of individual participation in civil society, politics, and the media Many people do not feel empowered to make decisions that affect them. Areas that lack participation include the labour market, politics, volunteering and media. Barriers to participation include poverty, lack of access or opportunity, apathy, and lack of awareness. Participation between different groups and sectors of society is also lacking, for example between individuals, and corporate and civil sectors. Lack of appropriate education Education is currently considered in a limited context, instead of being lifelong and encompassing both formal and non-formal methods. Education is not updated to reflect local cultures and evolving ways of learning, is not universal or affordable, and local learning opportunities are often mismatched to the local employment market. Lack of respect for cultural and individual diversity Equality is seen as a human right, but many people are discriminated for such things as their sexuality, gender, race, religion and culture. Diversity and equality are endangered by competition for resources, fear of the unknown, political manipulation, feelings of superiority and a lack of interaction between different groups. Unemployment and related discrimination The right to work, financial autonomy, adequate working conditions and a healthy work-life balance are crucial to social wellbeing, yet are unachieved by many. It is difficult to connect basic work rights for people within an international consensus. The relation between work, unemployment and human rights is still unclear. The ILO is a tool to tackle these issues, but it is still not used to its full potential. Ways forward Health: Pollution and awareness All polluters must pay and repair the damage they create, as measured by independent agencies. This money should be used for victim compensation and research and development. An international court on pollution should be created. Awareness campaigns should spread information on pollution and its sources, nutrition and healthy lifestyle, hygiene, HIV/AIDS prevention, and other local issues. Promoting and establishing social cohesion Governments should increase support for organisations and activities that promote solidarity through grants, interest free loans, or tax incentives. Primary school programs can teach children about other cultures and groups to inspire feelings of solidarity and responsibility towards others. Moreover, governments should enable mobility within and between countries in order to facilitate meeting others of different backgrounds. Participation in society, politics, and the information society Civil society should be able to meet governments and take part in co-decision making on matters that affect them. In the interest of this, Youth forums should be strengthened and where they do not exist established; in order for Youth to meet, discuss issues and come up with a unified position. Youth forums should be demographically representative and should emphasize a frequent renewing of participants. Education and personal development Incorporate Youth into the design and management of the education system in order to adapt to new ways of learning. Increase the cooperation with professionals and provide quality information on career and internship opportunities. Promote non-formal educational methods and social participation by including volunteering and/or entrepreneurship as a part of school curricula. Exchanges for cultural and individual diversity and equality Governments should arrange and finance exchanges in order to develop and promote diversity and equality. These exchanges can be realised on an individual, group or social media level. Interacting and seeing life through the other person eyses will increase cross-cultural awareness, understanding of social contexts and solidarity. Employability and sustainable values in companies Corporate actions and policies must reflect sustainable values. Relevant topics such as entrepreneurship, diversity and corporate social responsibility should be reflected in educational curricula and professional training. Furthermore, companies should have inter-generational and intercultural transmission of knowledge based on educational approaches inter alia peer-to-peer learning, non-formal education, and mentorship. 7. Renewable energy Key challenges Overconsumption Current energy consumption in industrialised countries has increased to an unsustainable level. Technologies to reduce energy consumption have not yet been implemented successfully. In addition, there is a lack of awareness on sustainable way of usage. Profitability of renewable energy Subsidies of fossil fuels do not enable energy resources to be compatible. New technologies for renewable energy and upscaling plans for current renewable energy are not sufficiently supported. Decentralisation The market is dominated by a limited number of players, leading to centralised energy supply. Energy production on household level is not actively encouraged, disincentivising small-scale renewable energy initiatives. Different countries realities The effectiveness of the renewable energy resource varies in different local circumstances. There is a current lack of locally suitable implementation plans for renewable energy. Ways forward Reducing our energy footprint In order to achieve a carbon neutral world by 2050, major steps need to be taken within the next ten years. More economically developed countries have to take a higher burden of reducing their energy consumption. We must achieve 80% of all energy to come from renewable sources by 2050. The EU should unilaterally increase its emission reductions targets from 20-30% by 2020. Activating the private energy production sector Governments should give economic incentives to the private sector to encourage investment in renewable energy, such as tax exemptions, low interest loans, seed funding, and Feed-In Tariffs. Subsidies and tax exemptions to the fossil fuel sector should be phased out. Research and development should be supported, and the resulting knowledge and technology shared with developing economies. Investing in the implementation of a smart electricity grid In order to enable the transition towards local renewable production of electricity, investments have to be made in the development and implementation of a smart grid allowing efficient production coordination and two�way electricity transport. Following the German policy o Feed�In Tariffs, the guaranteed access of net-producing systems to the grid should be regulated. Taking into account and taking advantage of country specifics All countries have specific realities, which need to be taken into account when investing in renewable energy technology and infrastructure. All countries need to research the potential they have for renewable energy, and start supporting the investments into these areas. The unleashed potential of solar energy in the south of Europe and wind energy in the north of Europe should be utilised to its full potential. Networks between countries to support the transfer of technology, knowledge and energy infrastructure need to be implemented. Researching and addressing the possible negative aspects of renewable energies The negative side effects of the production of each renewable energy source should be researched in order to benchmark and fully assess the sustainability of each source. Social and environmental aspects should be taken into account in the development, advancement and implementation of renewable energy technologies. Rio+20 should decide on international ethical guidelines and regulations for production of agrofuels and the usage of biomass as an energy source.

Hammerheads school in enormous numbers. Coral reefs ripple with color by day but at night turn into killing grounds for packs of whitetip sharks. Pristine waters brim with tuna and dolphins in hot pursuit of clouds of fish. Isla del Coco, or Cocos Island, appears as a tiny dot on a map in the Pacific Ocean more than 300 miles off the coast of Costa Rica, and is home to one of the greatest concentrations of predators on the planet. Dive into this carnivorous crowd in Shark Island with marine ecologist Enric Sala and an international team of explorers and scientists. The team traverses hundreds of square miles of ocean in search of clues to explain why so many predators congregate here and why, just outside Cocos' protected waters, life largely disappears.

Ever wonder how some of those incredible runway fashions get translated into the real world? Exhibit A: the Emmys.
The awards show held earlier this week featured a red carpet filled with high-end designs, and although Hollywood's hottest actresses don't really count as "real world," they—or, rather, their stylists—do put their own twist on clothes straight from the catwalk, the Associated Press reports.
California-based designer Monique Lhuillier tells the news service that runway gowns are sometimes nearly unrecognizable by the time they hit the red carpet, taking on a softer, more casual look that's more relatable to the rest of us.
"You get a sense ... that women don't want [to be] too perfect or buttoned-up," she tells AP of Los Angeles style.
Hmm. The Lhuillier dress worn by Ginnifer Goodwin at the TV awards looked pretty darn perfect to us.

Dermonodex Value Pack Discontinued??? Sure Hope Not!I have spent many hours on your sight reviewing your Dermenodex products and am really impressed by what others are saying. So I went to oder your Dermenodex Value Pack and it says this product in not available anymore. I am wondering if you are getting more or if is being discontinued. I have a terrible problem w/ hair loss to the point that you can see my scalp when parted and even when its not parted, so I'm pretty much like everyone else and have tried alot of other products to no avail. These reviews got me so excited that I wanted to order asap and now I'm so disappointed to see that I can't get it. I so hope you'll tell me that you'll be getting more in; so I can come back and make my first purchase. I am buying the conditioner alone in hopes that might help, but haven't come across just the shampoo or serum sold in singles. If anyone can tell me where else to purchase this I'd be so grateful, Thx. =)Jul 2, 2011BettyHAIR TYPEBlonde / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

AmazingI was a little skeptical of this product since I usually use kerastase, but ever since having my first child a year ago my hair has never been the same. I started losing quite a bit of hair, and my hair was extremely frizzy and brittle. My hairdresser even said something about my hair and how much it was thinning. I did some research on different hair products for hair thinning, and I decided to try Dermonodex. I am absolutely amazed with this product. I just went to my hairdresser last week, and she noticed a big change and stated that I had a lot of new hair growth. My hair isn't frizzy, and it looks great. I definitely recommend this product, and will continue using it.Feb 1, 2010Molly / Sebastopol, CA

Works Very Well And QuicklyI hardly ever write reviews, but felt compelled to leave feedback on this product. I have had really thinning hair since high school. It would just fall out in handfulls in the shower. I am half-way through my first box of shampoo/conditioner/serum, and it has done wonders. In about 3 days, I was losing hardly any hair in the shower at all. Also, I notice that my part line has filled in, and my pony tail is much thicker than it once was. I plan to use it for several more months, until I have the desired thickness. I was really impressed with how well it worked and how quickly, and very pleased with the bargain price on folica.Jul 8, 2009Jill / Virginia

Dermenodex Shampoo & Conditioner&serumCo-workers have been making comments, "boy your hair is really looking good"etc. As one of the many women who have been silently freaking out about the increasing numbers of hair in the drain and brush, as well as the visible scalp at the front especially, discovering these products was a blessing! My hair loss may be from hormonal changes due to menopause but whatever the cause, these products are helping and my hair definitely looks and feels thicker. I am going to recommend this to my stylist to purchase in their salon because there are many women who suffer from this same problem and they would be very grateful for this product.Thank you and keep up the good work!Dec 13, 2008Jan Severance

CoolI just received the pack the other day and at first when i did the whole routine the hair in my bad spot was irritated and was falling out a little faster but I kinda spread out the whole routine a little bit more (like shampoo and condition then later in the day i use scalp treatment) and things have been fine. It greatly reduced amount of hair loss. I can actually rub my hand through my hair and not get a bunch of hairs on my hand, and being only 20, this is a great feeling. so, while its too early to see any potential regrowth, my hair loss has almost halted, so if your looking for that than I def. recommend this product. we will see if it actually regrows too!Jun 6, 2008Teddy / Rochester, NY

Yeah, It WorksI bought Dermenodex, the shampoo, conditioner and the serum and Ive got to say that my thinning hair on the crown of my head is much thicker. I dont know if new hair is growing, but where I could only see scalp before I now see hair.Dec 19, 2007Ron Jeremy / California

Works For Me So FarNever write reviews but I have used Dermenodex for about 10 weeks, putting hte serum on mainly at night before I go to sleep and wash it out in the morning with the cleanser and the conditioner. For me the amazing part is it REALLY WORKS.... I cant believe the results. Where thinning hair on the top was significant I now have less of a significant thinning amount where my skin does not show any longer. Its definitely been working for me and im satisfied with the results so far. An excelletn product... good stuff.Sep 9, 2007Jim

WorksThe is only treatment system Ive used which has given me fuller hair. My hair is healthy and shiny. Ive been using the system for about four months. I dont have an itchy scalp like I had gotten with other treatments. Its easy to use and costs less than some of the more expensive treatments out there. May not work for you but it has worked for me. Worth a try for the price.Jul 11, 2007Brendon / Michigan

Lindsay Lohan: James Deen Canyons Trailer
Posted by Native NYker in james deen, lindsay lohan, porn star, the canyons trailer on October 11, 2012
Lindsay Lohan's return to the big screen is the stuff of constant fodder. But the time has arrived and will mark a co-starring role opposite some two-bit hetero porn-wanna-be-starlet named James Deen. That his "stage name" is a jump-off of a more famous, somewhat controversial (for his time) 20th century a-lister and troubled individual doesn't get lost on us.
Not one bit.
That the Mean Girls star would reduce her waning chances at a true comeback by starring opposite someone so desperate from the word go to achieve infamy is where we stopped and can't seem to get passed that gear.
Out of curiosity we had to go and look up this out of shape self-proclaimed porn impresario and see if there were any redeeming traits to warrant benefit of the doubt.
Que drums!
What we found was not much to get a rise out of. His blog for instance can only be described as a lackluster experience. Even by hetero standards. The snatch he mainly features – as opposed to his own bodily parts – are beat up and resemble relics of passed around the bathroom stalls of dive bars on the West Coast type of snatch. And when you get to the bare essentials of his package – well – it hardly measures up.
Sure, some would say its nothing to send home but we measure from a whole different perspective.
Would it hurt him to do a push-up or two? Say nothing of a stomach crunch…
Suffice to say that American Gigolo he is not.
The movie trailer to her return project is as cheesy as it promises – we give it that. For sure the folks behind the Liz Taylor bio-pic, which looms on the horizon, are non-too pleased with what precedes their efforts.
But don't take our word for it. Take a look see for yourselves…

Men's Tennis Closes Play at Minnesota Tournament
Princeton wrapped its play at the Gopher Fall Invitational in Minnesota Sunday with three singles wins over players from the University of Denver, closing the Tiger men's tennis team's participation in the four-day event.
"We finished up pretty well today and won a couple of close matches," Princeton head coach Billy Pate said. "We still have a lot of work to do, but the areas we need to address are clear. This was a great event in terms of the level of competition and the number of matches nine of our athletes were able to play. We'll get back to work this week and look to finish well in the last event of the fall next weekend."
Zack McCourt, Augie Bloom and Florin Radu were Princeton's winners as the Tigers took the majority of the five singles matches from the Pioneer players. Princeton added a couple of doubles matches with players from Dartmouth, but both Big Green duos prevailed over the Princeton pairs of Dan Davies and Ben Quazzo and Alex Day and Mohamed El Tonbari.
Princeton's fall season will come to a close next weekend with the Lakewood Ranch Invitational in Sarasota, Fla.

Life Lessons Learned While Mountain Biking
Submitted by Amy Thompson on
You may remember the story we posted a few weeks ago about a female cyclist being taken out by barbed wire on a Denver bike path. Her teammates reported to us that she has a wonderful attitude about cycling and life and we thought it would be great to share her words of wisdom with our readers. We could definitely use some good news and inspiring thoughts this week!
quote from a teammate:
"Jacquie is a team-mate of mine. Think she's in her late 50's. She's the one who got taken out by the barbed wire on the bike path a few weeks ago. Saw her just the other night. She was sharing a few of her lovely words of wisdom for mtn. biking. They were so sweet. It's only too bad you can't see/hear her saying these. She is such a sweet, sweet woman. Tiny, but mighty and lots of laugh lines from smiling and living life. Many people would not bounce so well and so fast. Her attitude is something to strive for!"
A Few of Life Lessons Learned While Mountain Biking by Jacquie
(and not necessarily in order of importance)
1. When the trail gets rough and rocky – loosen up!
2. When it seems all uphill and impossible, concentrate on where you are right now and just take one pedal at a time.
3. Find the right gear to climb so that you can keep going, but so you can also get up over the hard stuff.
4. Trust yourself and trust your bike
5. Don't give up, don't stop, the view is worth it at the top!
6. Learn the tricks of the trade.
7. Do not get stuck in a rut! Go with the flow
8. Scare yourself – Go where you have never gone and do what you have never done.
9. Keep a song in your heart and in your head
10. Never focus on obstacles in your path, but about 10 ft. ahead
11. Concentrate on where you want to go
12. Get out of your comfort zone
13. It is harder to breathe up high, so train in high places
14. Find the perfect balance
15. Be calm, flexible, curious and prepared.
16. Know exactly where you are and where you are going or follow someone who does.
17. You have to believe it to see it
18. Attitude is everything
19. Perfect practice makes perfect - pay attention to form
20. Pick a line and follow through – momentum is your friend - flow like water
21. Visualize and expect success
22. Failure is a gift – make many mistakes
23. Turn anger and frustration into energy...thus the "Zen" of riding
24. Take care of your equipment and your equipment will take care of you
25. Find a circle of friends who have similar goals and who motivate you
26. Remember your tools and survival gear
27. Set goals and make a plan
28. It's not what happens to you, but in you
29. Keep your mind, body, and spirt pure
30. Don't prejudge
31. Celebrate your successes, even the littlest ones
32. Pump yourself up and Go For It!
33. Be child like and do not take yourself too seriously
34. No excuses – no fear or doubt
35. Get a burning passion in your gut
"If we did all the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves!" Thomas A. Edison
"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows no victory or defeat." Theodore Roosevelt

כל ישראל ערבין זה בזה - שבועות ל"ט:אAll Israel is responsible for one another. (Babylonian Talmud, Shavuot 39a)
These clinics expanded to become hospitals: Bikur Holim (est. 1843), Misgav Ladach (est. 1888), and Shaare Zedek (est. 1902), all of which still function today, offering up-to-date services with modern medical technology. The Hadassah-University Medical Center in Jerusalem, with schools of medicine, nursing, and pharmacology, and two modern hospitals, traces its beginning to two nurses who were sent to Jerusalem in 1913 by the Hadassah Women's Zionist Organization of America.

LITTLE ROCK, AR. (Oct. 7, 2010) – The Arkansas Children's Hospital Research Institute (ACHRI) has received a $400,000-plus grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to explore how goal-directed critical care therapies delivered during air transport can help kids recover long-term. The study began earlier this month and is funded for two years.
The project will examine the outcomes of children with Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) during transport on the Arkansas Children's Hospital (ACH) Angel One helicopters. SIRS is a critical condition in which patients have irregular body temperatures, fast heart rates, abnormal respiratory patterns and white blood cell counts that are too high or too low. It is caused by a variety of pediatric illnesses including infections, sepsis and trauma.
Principal Investigator Michael Stroud, MD, and his team will look at the outcomes from patients treated in transport using current care delivery methods for 10 months. They then will help the transport team institute goal-directed protocols commonly used in academic medical center intensive care units, utilizing ACH's state-of-the-art Pediatric Understanding and Learning through Simulation Education (PULSE) Center. After those methods are in place, the team will track the SIRS patients treated during air transport to see if outcomes improve.
"We know that if you're in an academic hospital and you get critical care therapies early, your outcome is better," said Stroud, who also is an assistant professor in the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) Department of Pediatrics Section of Critical Care. "What we're trying to do is take that process and start it earlier in the course of illness."
The study will mark the first time that goal-directed therapies have been tested in the transport environment. Stroud's team would like to see transport programs emphasize immediate delivery of critical care, rather than getting patients to their destination as quickly as possible. The researchers expect that the Angel One team will transport 300-400 children with SIRS during the course of the study. The teams will look at the patients' incidence of multi-system organ failure, their lengths of mechanical ventilation, the lengths of their hospital stays, and how long they are in intensive care units.
"The idea is that if you provide that critical care as early as possible, all those things should improve," Stroud said.
Arkansas Children's Hospital is the only pediatric medical center in Arkansas and one of the largest in the United States serving children. The campus spans 28 city blocks and houses 316 beds, a staff of approximately 500 physicians, 80 residents in pediatrics and pediatric specialties and more than 4,000 employees. The private, nonprofit healthcare facility boasts an internationally renowned reputation for medical breakthroughs and intensive treatments, unique surgical procedures and forward-thinking medical research - all dedicated to fulfilling our mission of enhancing, sustaining and restoring children's health and development. ACH recently ranked No. 85 on FORTUNE 100 Best Companies to Work For®. For more information, visit www.archildrens.org.
ACHRI provides a research environment on the ACH campus to meet the needs of the UAMS faculty. Research scientists at ACHRI conduct clinical, basic science, and health services research for the purpose of treating illnesses, preventing disease and improving the health of children everywhere.
UAMS is the state's only comprehensive academic health center, with colleges of Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Health Related Professions and Public Health; a graduate school; a 540,000-square-foot hospital; six institutes; and a statewide network of regional centers. UAMS has 2,775 students and 748 medical residents. Its institutes are the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute, the Jackson T. Stephens Spine & Neurosciences Institute, the Myeloma Institute for Research and Therapy, the Harvey & Bernice Jones Eye Institute, the Psychiatric Research Institute and the Donald W. Reynolds Institute on Aging. It is the state's largest public employer with more than 10,000 employees, including nearly 1,150 physicians who provide medical care to patients at UAMS, Arkansas Children's Hospital, the VA Medical Center and UAMS' Area Health Education Centers throughout the state.

Deputies: Drunken DeBary man accidentally shot in arm by friend

Sheriff's deputies are investigating an incident in which a man was shot in the arm early Friday morning by a friend showing him a firearm.
Clifford Kelley, 42, was found at a Simon Drive home in DeBary with a bullet wound to his right arm, investigating deputies said.
Kelley initially called dispatchers at 12:40 a.m. and said he had accidentally shot himself with a .380-caliber handgun, a report shows.
Deputies found a bleeding Kelley on a couch with a towel wrapped around his arm.
When a deputy asked Kelley what happened, he initially said he didn't remember how he was shot. Kelley then changed his story and said his friend, Arthur Walters, 36, accidentally shot him, deputies said.
Kelley was unable to answer the deputy's questions because of his inebriated state, investigators said.
Walters said he and Kelley had been drinking and then he wanted to show Kelley his firearm. Walters said they were in the bathroom when he handed the gun to Kelley, and as he did so, it accidentally fired.

State representative to address Democratic Women
Published: Wednesday, September 4, 2013 at 9:22 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, September 4, 2013 at 9:22 a.m.
State Rep. Alma S. Adams, R-Guilford, will speak to Democratic Women of Davidson County at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Grace Episcopal Church on South Main Street.
Adams has represented the 58th House District since 1994 and lives in Greensboro. Prior to her service in the General Assembly, she served nine years on the Greensboro City Council. Until her retirement in 2012, Adams taught full time at Bennett College.
Adams serves on the North Carolina House Committees on Appropriations, Transportation, Education, Ethics, Government, Judiciary and Regulatory Reform. She chairs the House Democratic Women's Issues committee and authored the bill to increase the state's minimum wage. And she chairs the N.C. Legislative Black Caucus Foundation.
Democratic Women of Davidson County meet on the second Tuesday of each month. The organization's goals are to promote the principles of the Democratic Party, to support candidates for office at all levels and to encourage women to seek public office. Serving as co-chairwomen of the Davidson County Chapter are Josiane Laumann and Faye Powell. Membership is open to all Democrat women in Davidson County.

ZF-3506: Passing array paramters to rewrite router
Current implementation of the rewrite router does not allow passing array parameters in the /{key}/{value} structure. This prevents creating nicely structured URL's from dynamic data.
Passing arrays can be easily implemented by changing line 174 in Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Module, from:
$params[$key] = $val;
$params[$key] = (isset($params[$key]) ? (array_merge((array) $params[$key],array($val))): $val);
Which would create an array when the same parameter key is declared multiple times. I wrote a short article about this issue and explained in greater detail on: [http://techfounder.net/2008/06/…]
Implemented with r12310
Changing issues in preparation for the 1.7.0 release.

Irena + Jerel Wedding (26 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
Irena and Jerel's wedding took place at Point Loma, California. Point Loma is a historic landmark in the beautiful city of San Diego and since Jerel grew up in the area, it was only fitting that they had their union there.
Irena got ready at the Inn at Sunset Cliffs. She wore this beautiful Claire Pettibone dress and her bridcage veil is from La Bohemme. Her two sisters and sister-in-law were also her bridesmaids and wore mistmatched green dresses. The darling flower girls wore vintage inspired dresses and had shabby chic inspired baskets & umbrellas.
Their ceremony and reception took place at The Oceanview Room located at the Naval Base in Point Loma. It had stunning view of the ocean and nearby hills. Surrounded by family and close friends, their wedding was nothing short but amazing.
The details were mainly created by the bride with some help from her vendors. Irena and her mom made the apricot jam which were also giveaways to the wedding guests. Irena's mom also made their wedding cake and it tasted amazing!
Since Irena is Macedonian, she included part of her cultural heritage into the wedding. She had a flag bunting that said "Te Sakam" (which means "I Love You") at the cake table. The grand entrance they danced together as husband and wife following the bridal party. The DJ also played an array of music, which included traditional Macedonian songs.
After the celebration, we headed out to the Point Loma lighthouse for some portraits. The day was just beautiful for the couple.

Here's my list of things to do around Salt Lake before Labor Day.
1. Buy Tix to Bobcat
I know tickets to see Bobcat Goldthwait at Wiseguy's will probably not sell out, but I'm not going to take that chance. The star of Shakes the Clown and Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol is one of my favorites. He'll be at the West Valley City location on Sept. 17 and 18. Click here for more info on the show and tix.
2. So long, Colossus
Lagoon, it's what fun is. But it's also no longer open every day starting Sunday, Aug. 22. Sit out this weekend, and you'll have to wait till Frightmares to get back in on a weekday. Click here for tix.
3. The Fly bird show at Tracy Aviary
One of my goals is to just become a member of the aviary, so I can get in any time I want. It's cheaper than the gym and actually more of a stress relief for me. $20 for an individual membership, which also gives you discounts to Hogle Zoo and Living Planet Aquarium. But the best part of being at the aviary, the bird show, ends Labor Day weekend. Click here to become a member.
3. Seasonal Fruits
August is actually my favorite month for produce. Cucumbers, strawberries, blueberries, peaches, apricots, corn, eggplant, green beans, tomatoes and plums are all in season right now. Hit the Downtown Farmer's Market at Pioneer Park on Saturdays and Tuesdays. Click here for more info. http://www.downtownslc.org/farmers-market
5. Does it matter if your murse is white, or is it just pants?
Either way, I better add some red to my wardrobe. A recent study shows women find men in red much sexier than those wearing any other color, and they look pretty good themselves with it, too. Click here for our story on the study.

I personally love family businesses, and not just because I am in one! I love how it can give people the opportunity to fast track themselves to their full potential. I love how family businesses seem to have more values, ethics and personality rather than the faceless "Big Boys". I love how family relationships can turn exponential when a father becomes a friend, a colleague, a business partner.
Of course, family businesses can go the other way. I can't think of anything worse when family relationships turn sour because of the business. I'm a firm believer that the family has to come first. As for myself; we are a 3rd generation family business and I confess, we've gotten darn good at succession issues. I continually get asked how we did it, so here are my Secrets to Successful Succession, keeping not only the business in tact but more importantly our relationship. (more…)

Rated 4 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by suelvnv Perfect and beautiful! I did not have to use the enclosed screw and anchor, since it's not actually brass which is fine by me. It looks like it is. I just used a clear thumbtack. Looks beautiful with a LED 3 x 4 inch candle. April 29, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by discoOwl Beautiful wall sconces These were exactly what I was looking for to hang in my hallway. Great size, and perfect for a 3x3 pillar candle. They are great quality and easy to hang with provided screw and anchor (I didn't need the anchor, but it was nice they provided one anyways). I would definitely recommend this product. They are sturdy and supportive and a great rustic finish to them. September 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by twokitties Nice Wall Sconces I bought these put them in my dining room on either side of a picture. I used the candels that turn on and off by them selves. I really like the look of these candel holders and I have had them for 2 years and they haven't broke yet. July 20, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by ChaLo CHEAP MATERIAL!!! As my husband starts to install the wall candle holder, one of the loops breaks off!!! Very disappointing since this is the second item Ive purchased from here that breaks before I can even enjoy it!! June 8, 2014

Loaded up 11.2.1
All Scottish leagues with a Large Database (9000 Players)
Normally, I play Journeyman careers, but thought I'd like to do a different challenge until all the creases have been ironed out with the job reputation problems etc.
Within 10 seasons, take a Scottish Division 3 team and get them into Europe.
Season 2010/11
I decided to start at Berwick Rangers. Berwick-upon-Tweed is actually classed as a English town, where the town is split over two banks of the river. However, due to their location, it was deemed necessary for them to play in the Scottish league system to make travelling shorter for their fans. A bit more club background.
I signed a two-year contract on £230 per week. The board wanted a mid-table finish, seems reasonable.
In summary, I inherited a decent squad and I thought with a few new faces we would be competitive. I brought in 1 defender, 3 midfielders and 2 strikers to try and baulk up the squad. I released all the deadwood and completely re-organised the backroom staff. I also brought in another midfielder in the January window. Here's the summary.
As I thought, we were competitive. Montrose aside, I thought any of the other 9 teams in the league could get promoted. We were up near the top all season, but like the other teams, we were consistently inconsistent. With 8 games to go we were top with a nice 6 point advantage over the pack.
We then went on to bottle it with only 1 win in the next 5 games. When ended up finishing 2nd behind Annan, losing out on automatic promotion by a single point. The playoffs beckoned, contested between Airdrie, Albion Rovers, Clyde and Berwick. We beat Albion 1-0 home and away to set up the final against Clyde. I was confident as we had beaten them 6-2 already this season.
I was awarded Manager of the Year, and my star striker was announced as Division 3 Player of the Year.
Season Summary
3rd Division 2nd P 36 W 21 D 6 L 9 GD +27 PTS 69
Challenge Cup 2nd Round (v Morton)
Co-op Cup 1st Round (v Ross County)
Scottish Cup 4th Round (v Ross County)
Biggest win 7-0 (v Montrose)
Finances are good and I sign a new contract on £575 p/w.
NB. Please note I am halfway through my second season when writing this up, so apologies if a bit sketchy. Wanted to make sure I could commit to the save before writing anything up!

In his first season as head coach of the Caravel Academy Buccaneers, head coach John Reed has achieved the type of success it takes other coaches years to accomplish: an undefeated,10-0, regular season. The team was victorious in its first DIAA tournament game last weekend, defeating St. Elizabeth's 53-21. Next up, the team faces Indian River in the semi-final round at home Friday night at 7:30 p.m.
A native of Middletown, Reed gave all of the credit for the team's success this season to his players and his coaching staff.
"All of our players and all of the coaches have put a lot of time and effort into this season. My coaches have been able to put the players in the right positions in each game for us to be successful," he said.
Reed is in his first year as head coach of the Caravel varsity program. Prior, to this year, he ran the Middle School football team for two years, and his roots go even deeper with the Academy. He is a 1990 graduate of the Bear-area school and played on the 1980 state championship team. "I'm very familiar with this community, and I feel I have a good connection with the kids and I'm able to tell them my story, and I have a lot of passion for Caravel Academy and our football program," he said. "At the end of the day, it's not about me at all, it's about our dedicated players and coaching staff and the entire Caravel community."
This year's offense has featured a balanced attack behind the fine work of junior quarterback Derrick Groomes, the running of sophomore Darnell Savage and the receiving tandem of senior George Murray and junior Aaron Hudson.
"We are fortunate to have multiple weapons, and our offense line has come together and everyone has executed very well this season. Our linemen don't get enough credit, but much of our success is due to the work of those guys up front," said Reed. The team is averaging about 40 points peer game.
The defense has also done a great job, giving up only 53 points during the regular season, or an average of less than six points per game, very good at any level. The team also recorded four shut outs on the year.
"Again, we are very balanced on the defensive side of the ball, so you could say we are very stingy but not giving up very many points," said Reed.
Coach Reed said he expects a very tough game against Indian River this weekend. "We have a great deal of respect for I.R. and their players and coaches, so it should be a great high school football game."
