Executive Summary
SAICM is the preferred international framework for achieving the 2020 goal for sound chemicals management set at WSSD, and ICCA calls for SAICM to be strengthened as an outcome of UNCSD 2012.
ICCA?s Responsible Care� and Global Product Strategy initiatives highlight the chemical industry?s contributions to sustainability and the safe management of chemicals throughout the lifecycle.
ICCA supports the development of a flexible, customizable roadmap to a green economy as an outcome of UNCSD, integrating all three pillars of sustainable development.
The global chemical industry supplies many of the innovative products and technologies required for the transition to a green economy, and policy frameworks must support the production, diffusion and deployment of these products and technologies.
Sound economic, social and environmental governance is a necessary prerequisite for creating the conditions to develop a green economy and promote greener growth.
Reform of the institutional framework for sustainable development should be pragmatic, and form must follow function. Institutions must evolve to better accommodate all three pillars of sustainable development and pursue a more integrated approach to sustainability.
1. Chapter 30 of Agenda 21 recognized the vital role of the private sector in efforts to promote sustainable development. In particular, it noted that ?increasing prosperity, a major goal of the development process, is contributed primarily by the activities of business and industry.?
The International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA)3 was an active participant at both the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development and the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development, and has played a significant role in subsequent intergovernmental initiatives to promote safer chemicals management internationally. ICCA has also committed to voluntary initiatives and self-regulation under its flagship Responsible Care� and Global Product Strategy programs that highlight the industry?s commitment to sustainability and the safe management of chemicals throughout the lifecycle.
Objectives for UNCSD 2012
2. ICCA sees UNCSD 2012 as a valuable opportunity to take stock of progress made since the 1992 Earth Summit, and to develop policies, responses and new forms of collaboration that address new and existing challenges. UNCSD should focus on outcomes that recognize all three pillars of sustainable development as essential components of recommended policies and solutions. Innovation and the deployment of new products and technologies will be critical for future sustainable development, particularly in ensuring that society makes the best use of scarce resources as the world?s population rises. The global chemical industry will be instrumental to the development, production and delivery of these products and technologies.
3. In the chemical sector, while serious challenges remain, significant advances have been made since 1992 in promoting the sustainable management of chemicals worldwide. This includes international instruments focused on the key global elements of chemicals management (e.g. the Stockholm, Rotterdam and Basel Conventions, and the new instrument under negotiation on mercury); innovative multi-Stakeholder partnerships such as the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM); and industry-led initiatives such as the Global Product Strategy and the Responsible Care Global Charter.4 Taken together, these initiatives show that the chemical sector has made real progress towards sustainable development since the Rio Earth Summit across a range of forums and initiatives.
4. In 2002, the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation (JPOI) called on stakeholders to renew the commitment advanced in Agenda 21 to sound management of chemicals throughout their lifecycle for the protection of human health and the environment.5 In addition to the ratification and implementation of relevant international instruments relating to global chemicals management, the launch of SAICM in 2006, with a mandate to achieve the WSSD?s ?2020 goal? for sound chemicals management, has been the international community?s primary contribution to advancing the 2020 goal to the regional and national levels as well. ICCA is a strong supporter of SAICM and its innovative, multi-Stakeholder framework, which has brought governments and non-governmental stakeholders together to build trust and promote collaboration in addressing common challenges.
5. SAICM has made important progress towards achieving the 2020 goal for sound chemicals management, although all stakeholders recognize that there is much more to be done. ICCA supports the strengthening of SAICM as an outcome from UNCSD to enable it to achieve its mandate, including through the provision of adequate resourcing for SAICM activities and the functioning of its Secretariat. ICCA further supports continued efforts to improve the efficiency and coherence of the Stockholm, Rotterdam and Basel Conventions, while respecting the specific mandates of each Convention.
6. ICCA supports the principle that sound chemicals management is best achieved through a combination of transparent, science-based and cost-effective regulation and industry-led initiatives. Given the positive steps that have been taken on international chemicals management since 1992, and the ongoing contributions of SAICM, as outlined above, ICCA does not see the need to develop a new international regime on chemicals and hazardous substances. The mandate to promote sound chemicals management set at WSSD runs through to 2020, and UNCSD should focus on assessing progress towards the 2020 goal and providing recommendations to help facilitate further progress. Any effort to change or supersede the 2020 goal set at WSSD would be counter-productive, detracting from the considerable work that has gone into SAICM and the synergies process amongst the existing chemicals conventions. ICCA would in particular not support any effort to exclude non-governmental stakeholders from direct participation in decision making, which would undermine the innovative and constructive example set by SAICM. Green Economy in the Context of Sustainable Development and Poverty Eradication 7. As the engine of economic growth, the private sector has a critical role in delivering the products, technologies, services and solutions required for the transition to a green economy. The private sector is the primary source of green jobs and the principal supplier of green products and services, through the innovation, commercialization and implementation of new technologies. Recognizing that planning for the transition to a green economy needs to account for regional, national and local priorities and development challenges, ICCA supports the development of a flexible, customizable roadmap to a green economy as an outcome of UNCSD. A green economy roadmap should be based on the following core principles: (a) A central focus on innovation and the development of policy frameworks to facilitate the production, diffusion and deployment of products and technologies that enhance sustainable outcomes (for example, tax incentives for research and development). Innovation has an especially critical role in poverty reduction. The chemical industry today manufactures the basic building blocks that enable virtually every other sector of society, and chemistry innovations are helping other sectors to develop solutions to todays societal ch allenges. (b) Policies aimed at creating green jobs should not come at the cost of a net reduction of jobs across the economy. The emphasis should be on greening all sectors of the economy, rather than attempting to identify certain sectors In as �greener than others. addition to its own products, the chemical industry provides essential inputs for other industry sectors (over 95% of all manufactured goods rely on chemistry). Chemical products and technologies provide sustainable development solutions for industries as diverse as energy, information technology, environmental industries, and the waste sector. (c) Resource efficiency is crucial in enhancing the sustainable use of scarce resources. The chemical industry has a key role in promoting energy efficiency. It is the principle supplier of energy efficient materials worldwide, from insulation to materials for wind and solar power. A 2009 life cycle analysis study by McKinsey and Company, validated by the Ok� Institut, revealed that the GHG emission savings enabled by the chemical industry are more than double the industrys emi. Thessi conshemical industry is unique in manufacturing, in that its use of energy enables net energy savings. (d) Economic growth is critical to solving social and environmental problems. A focus solely on the environmental dimension risks a distorted perspective on the green economy, overestimating the viability of some �green investments and understating the larger societal interest in investments addressing all three pillars of sustainable development. Policy frameworks need to be clear, stable and predictable to give investors and financiers the confidence to foster innovation-led green growth and development. (e) The transition to a green economy requires a focus on sustainable consumption as well as production. Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) should focus on making the market work for sustainable development, with a focus on producing goods and services efficiently and consuming them differently rather than simply focusing on producing and consuming less. ICCA supports the text on SCP and a Ten Year Framework of Programs (10YFP) negotiated at CSD-19 forming the basis for consideration of SCP issues at UNCSD. (f) Sound economic, social and environmental governance is a necessary prerequisite for creating the conditions to develop a green economy and promote greener growth. Efforts to advance the green economy, including public-private partnerships, should work within market systems and not distort markets or limit market access, with an appropriate balance between public and private sector roles. Corruption should be fought in order to make the best possible use of scarce resources. (g) Open trade and non-discriminatory trade is indispensible for growing a green economy. The chemical industry, as a provider of innovative products and technologies addressing key societal challenges, should not be subject to tariff or non-tariff trade barriers that could hinder the application of these products and technologies to greening economies worldwide. In particular, secure and cost-effective access to key renewable raw materials for specific chemical end-use (i.e. excluding fuel uses) is of utmost importance. The global diffusion of state of the art technologies that will be crucial to progress towards a green economy (e.g. on issues such as climate change) depends heavily on free and open trade. (h) A global culture which fosters sustainable values and life-styles is the foundation of a green economy. Public at large should know more about the science that supports sustainable development, and governmental authorities and officers, industry professionals and other decision makers should be educated through capacity building initiatives related to sustainability, particularly in developing countries. Education and skills, especially in STEM disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) are important prerequisites for priorities and action by the chemical industry. (i) Life-cycle thinking, sound economics and scientific understanding have a fundamental role to play in framing the vision for green economies. A life-cycle approach involves further minimizing the environmental footprint of all economic activity through science and new knowledge. As an example, some chemical products, such as insulation materials, lead to a net-reduction of CO2 emissions during their use, despite the fact that CO2 is emitted during their production and disposal. Trade-offs are almost always inherent in sustainable development, and at times when public and private sector financing is constrained, it is critical to set priorities, and determine how resources can best be leveraged and most cost-effectively deployed. (j) For a green economy to become operational, indicators, metrics, accounting measures and better disclosure and reporting must be developed. These must make sense in economic terms while ultimately including the cost of externalities. This entails the simultaneous pursuit of developing operational green growth measures at company level (bottom up) and strategic macro-political accounting standards and economic indicators at the system level (top down). A flexible approach which balances the costs and benefits remains critical for success. Institutional Framework for Sustainable Development 8. The current institutional framework for sustainable development has a number of shortcomings. The failure of CSD-19 to agree on an outcome is an important illustration, highlighting the way that negotiated text has taken priority over the identification of practical mechanisms for advancing sustainable development. ICCA strongly believes that the focus of discussions on the institutional framework at UNCSD must be on pragmatic reform to ensure a more integrated approach to sustainable development at the inter-governmental level. 9. Institutional frameworks should foster sustainable development rather than constrain it, and form must follow function. Relevant activities should be grouped together in clusters, without establishing additional layers of bureaucracy. Efficiencies should be pursued in all instances where they can help to promote sustainable outcomes. The private sector has technical and implementation-related expertise that can help inform policy decisions and improve the effectiveness of implementation. 10. ICCA supports the strengthening of UNEP to enable it to more effectively coordinate and address environmental issues within the overall context of sustainable development. Reform must, however, extend beyond that to include key global institutions covering all three pillars of sustainable development. These institutions should be integrated into the priority-setting process, and concentrate on their specific added value. ICCA proposes two concrete steps to assist in setting priorities and ensuring that resources are appropriately deployed: (a) ICCA supports strengthening the science-policy interface within international institutions, with the full and meaningful participation of developing countries. This must also include channels for incorporating credible and robust science from stakeholders, including business and industry. (b) Links between policy frameworks and the financing for relevant institutions also need to be strengthened. Government resourcing for international institutions should be more strategic, and the institutional framework should provide for vigilant oversight of resources contributed. 11. The institutional framework for sustainable development should also help build capacity and develop institutions that support implementation at the national level. National and regional differences mean that imposing a top-down global model for sustainable development is unlikely to effectively address underlying problems and challenges. Taking ownership of sustainable development through national institutions (with appropriate international support) is the most likely means of securing real impact at the national level. 12. Finally, sustainability challenges cannot be adequately addressed by governments alone. The challenges of globalization require active collaboration between governments, business and other stakeholders. In this regard, new approaches are needed that facilitate innovative collaborations and partnerships between business, government and civil society. Such collaborations can take many forms, including private-public partnerships, business value chain engagement, and alliances with academia and consumers. No one can do this alone. Public- private partnerships can supplement inter-governmental activities and act as a catalyst for improved implementation. SAICM provides an innovative model of how multi-Stakeholder frameworks can help advance sustainable development objectives. Any reforms to the institutional framework for sustainable development emerging from UNCSD must recognize the contribution of non-governmental stakeholders, including business and industry, and ensure an appropriate role for these groups in the pursuit of sustainable outcomes.

Time to take brain dead patients off life support
January 3, 2014 - Andrea Johnson
Two tragic cases of brain dead patients are in the news this week.
In one case, a mother is fighting desperately to force an Oakland, Calif., hospital to keep her 13-year-old daughter, who was declared brain dead following a tonsillectomy in early December, on life support. In another case, the husband of a brain dead pregnant woman wants a North Texas hospital to disconnect her from life support. The hospital has refused, citing a state law that requires them to provide life support to save the fetus of a pregnant woman.
Erick Munoz, husband of Marlise, said his 33-year-old wife would never want to be kept alive on life support. Marlise, who suffered a likely pulmonary embolism in November when she was 14 weeks pregnant, was a paramedic like her husband. She made her wishes on the subject well known, according to her husband, who doesn't seem to want to keep his wife on life support even if it might save their unborn child. None of the articles have said so explicitly, but I imagine the family is concerned about the prospect of the baby being born with severe disabilities. Surely, this is not an ideal situation for a pregnancy and chances are high that the fetus has already sustained brain damage if the mother was without oxygen for several minutes. If he or she is born prematurely, there is also an increased risk of disability. Medical bills are probably also extensive. The Munozes already have a one-year-old son at home whom Erick Munoz will now have to raise on his own. But doctors at John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth, Texas have told the family that state law requires that they must leave Marlise on life support until her pregnancy has reached 24 weeks or until she has miscarried.
Meanwhile, at Children's Hospital, Oakland, Nailah Winkfield has been waging a bitter battle to force doctors to leave her teenage daughter on a ventilator. Doctors have said 13-year-old Jahi McMath is brain dead, has no hope of recovery, and they have refused to do tracheotomy surgery or insert a feeding tube or assist in any way in moving the girl to a long term care facility. According to news reports, the county has already issued the girl's death certificate.
A judge ruled today that Winkfield can remove the girl from the hospital as long as she assumes full responsibility for the girl's body, according to news reports. Winkfield, who seems to be in a state of denial, still seems to believe that the girl will recover. There is apparently a long term care facility in Long Island that might take the girl, but first the family needs to find a doctor willing to insert a trach and a feeding tube.
I think it's probably time to disconnect both Marlise Munoz and Jahi McMath, both of whom are dead, from life support. While it may be crass to consider money, it is also true that medical resources are finite. Jahi McMath is occupying a bed in the intensive care unit at Children's Hospital that another child probably needs. Everyone can sympathize with the pain of a mother who has lost a child and with her need for time to come to terms with the loss, but I'm not sure that anyone can afford to give her weeks and months, at the cost of millions of dollars, to come to terms with that loss and to accept that what the doctors are telling her is true. In the case of Munoz, I would support her husband if he wanted to keep his wife on life support long enough to save his child, but I can also sympathize with his position that his wife would not want this and he does not want it for her. Taking her off life support is a choice that he should legally be allowed to make.
Who do you think is right in these situations?

I think there's a limit to what can be allowed under the law, though. If you have someone who is brain dead, as Jahi McMath is, there is no hope of recovery. There is no blood flow to her brain and no electrical activity in her brain. Her body is trying to shut itself down and wasting away, because her brain is dead. I think keeping a body in that state is profoundly disrespectful and disturbing.
Jan-08-14 10:26 PM
Private, personal medical decisions about life and death should be left up to the individual, their doctor, and their god. Reasonable people differ on their views of morality, and what is or is not 'moral' under these circumstances should not be legislated by politicians.
Jan-08-14 8:35 AM
if we would just have had a death panel, this family would not be going through this....
Jan-07-14 2:12 PM
The girl has been moved to a longterm care facility but the most recent reports suggest her physical condition is deteriorating rapidly. It's a pity that the family wasn't able to accept her death and are prolonging their own agony like this. The girl herself is not suffering any longer. I think she has been with God since December 12.

From Andrea, "Lifesite News is not the world's most unbiased or reliable news site. " Takes one to know one!
Jan-06-14 6:55 PM
With some,like born and raised,everything is black or white, right or wrong, living or living, reverent or heathen.
Those types make logical leaps continually. If Andrea advocates for a scientific conclusion, she obviously will not stop short of pluggin' you 'cause you have a broken leg. Yep, a completely logical conclusion.
Jan-06-14 12:19 PM
Lifesite News is not the world's most unbiased or reliable news site. In the McMath case, a death certificate has been issued. She died on December 12.
Jan-06-14 11:57 AM
off. The paragraphs ran together on me. It was 3 seperate stories about a 76 year old woman, 21 year old man, and a 17 year old teenager. In all 3 cases the doctors wanted to pull the plug. The odds are slim. You probably have a better chance of winning the Powerball.
Jan-06-14 11:52 AM
"Brain dead is dead." (I love qoutes, and paranthetical asides). Tell that to these people.
DROMMONDVILLE, Quebec, July 5, 2011 (LifeSiteNews****) – Last week, Madeleine Gauron, a Quebec woman identified as viable for organ donation after doctors diagnosed her as "brain dead," surprised her family and physicians when she recovered from a coma, opened her eyes, and began eating. There was no activity' Doctors have no explanation for why Dunlap is alive. He had been riding his souped-up ATV with some friends on that fateful Saturday, less than a week before Thanksgiving."It makes me thankful that they didn't give up," Zack said, turning the knife over in his hand. "Don't let the good die young." 'Miracle recovery' of teen declared brain dead by four doctors
A teenager who was declared brain dead by four doctors has made a "miracle" recovery after his parents asked for another medical opinion, just moments before his life support machine could have been switched
Jan-06-14 9:31 AM
Brain dead is dead. There is no hope of recovery, unlike with someone who has a broken leg or is in a vegetative state and has brain function. Has anyone ever read the Faulkner novella "A Rose for Emily?"
Jan-06-14 1:25 AM
Until you have children and are willing to give up absolutely everything, even as absurd and delusional as it may seem, you can't make that call. "I can't imagine how devastated this mother must be, but she also shouldn't be allowed to keep her dead child on life support." Shouldn't be allowed. Strong words. If they can afford it (I'm sure lawsuits will be coming) and they aren't breaking any laws I don't see how they "shouldn't be allowed." God help me if I slip and break a leg in front of you. I probably wont even hear the 'click' of the gun.
Jan-05-14 1:11 PM
Oh darn I misspelled lobbyist pretty bad, that's what I meant ;)
Jan-05-14 11:07 AM
Extremists? You mean lobbyists.
Jan-05-14 7:39 AM
Yeah and send the brain dead walking zombies we call politicians down the road too. And for the benefit of all pull the plug on the extremists who think they represent anybody but themselves.
Jan-05-14 1:55 AM
I still say...why is brain death considered death? There are many living people who have no brain activity.
Jan-04-14 8:58 PM
It's hard to know what caused it, but I think a lawsuit is likely. The surgery the girl had sounds more complex than just a tonsillectomy, based on what I read, and she had health problems before the surgery.
Jan-04-14 6:18 PM
well if i were that kid and knowing my mother, she and i would like to see me get a chance at life, so at this point her body is just a source of incubation and should be kept on life support til the child is born
Jan-04-14 5:30 PM
....sounds like we need a 'death panel'.
Jan-04-14 4:28 PM
I suspect the money to pay the bills will come from the lawsuit which I expect will follow..both against the hospital and the Doctor..
Lots more to come on this issue..
According to family members, Jahi went into cardiac arrest. Days later, she was declared brain dead.
Hospital officials have said privacy laws prevent them from discussing details of the case.
So I figure Nancy Grace will get another 2 year contract just to cover this legal battle that will come up very soon..
Jan-04-14 4:27 PM
The end result is the same. No cognitive interaction. Is there any dignity in having to have each and every bodily function handled by strangers? But,you jumped on the media train and have no compassion. Why don't you run out there and tell the mom to pull the plug, that she is just being stupid and wasting time and money? Why don't you go do that? Do some face to face confrontation rather than safely behind a blog on a trivial paper?
Jan-04-14 4:23 PM
In the case of the pregnant Mom the Mother IS the feeding tube to the baby..
To shut off the mothers body would mean certain death to the child..
If that were my child I would want it to be delivered as close to full term as possible..
Yes Disgusted your right.. The Courts now wish to be the "in charge " person but then again if you go out Dr Kevorkin style you risk sending the Dr to jail for life..
I'm sure many would like to pass a law that anyone over age 75 be put to death immediately..
This descision should be strictly the parents.. Not the courts..not the judges.. This mother would like to move the child to a nursing home but the hospital refuses a feeding tube..
If the child was brain dead after surgery WHY did the hospital put her on a ventilator? My friend died from complications of heart surgery..the Doctors walked out and said he died.. They didnt hook him up to a ventialtor and then ask..
Sounds like enough blame to go around here for everyone.. And
Jan-04-14 3:39 PM
Again -- this girl is brain dead. There is a difference between someone in a vegetative state with brain function and this girl. She cannot wake up. She cannot recover. The county has issued her death certificate.
Jan-04-14 3:28 PM
Andrea, you jump on a media driven story and demand they pull the plug because it is expensive. The mother should have no say. So, let's stop tube feeding all the vegetables lying in nursing homes debilitated from accidents. There are 1000's of young people/adults across the country whose heart is beating and their lungs working on their own, but can do nothing for themselves. Let's pull the plug. No family member should have to endure that or have the say about their family member.
Jan-04-14 1:25 PM
I'm not a theologian, but I don't think the Catholic Church requires extraordinary measures to preserve life under these circumstances. If you remove either person from life support, they will not be able to breathe on their own or sustain bodily functions. An organ donor is usually kept on life support long enough for the organ donation, but he or she isn't considered to be alive once brain death has occurred. There's a difference between brain death and a vegetative state, where there is some brain function.

Very large and I could put my Thanksgiving turkey on one and a ham on the other . I've never had any as large as these are & look forward to using them in the future . A nice heavy weight and very pretty with a beautiful design around the edges. I have had a large platter similar to this that my grandmother used many years ago and was thrilled that these were even a little larger! So happy to say that these are being made now. Also, when the first delivery of these 2 platters arrived, one was broken into 4 pieces, but the other was fine. The WM rep I spoke to about this was wonderful! He didn't require me to return the broken platter, there was no return fee, & the replacement platter was here in time for Thanksgiving! Very highly recommended. If you've ever wished you had a really large meat platter, this one will do the trick beautifully. Of course, these can be used for other things, too. Thanks, World Market! December 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by happy27 late but worth every penny purchased two of the same plates for thanksgiving and let me say it came in really handy with both ham and turkey. I was able to plate the turkey and stuffing all in same plate. for the ham I was able to display the ham and the slices it self. overall they were excellent serving platters and definitely use it for Christmas holiday dinner.

Rated 5 out of 5 by thrallz Embossed Leaf Platter These are just Great! I am so tickled over this purchase. These are large, very nice platters that are useful for Turkeys but for other things as well. They are heavy. WM packaged these platters so carefully for shipping as well. Thank you World Market December 13, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Dida571 Big and beautiful This is a very nice, impressive platter. It was much larger than we expected--we were able to put the entire turkey on it rather than slices. We won't use it a lot because of the size and weight but it is very pretty and well made. December 14, 2013

text: Oh, Carnival Skittles, how I miss you! This version of the flavors in gum form was released as a limited edition about the same time as the regular Skittles version. The gum has lasted longer in my candy stash since I'm not the biggest gum chewer. Which is good for my friend, who digs through my candy stash every time she visits cause shes loves these. Seems like both versions are just as addictive!

Seven-Time Individual Ivy Champion Lisa Boyce Earns Return Trip To NCAAs
Fresh off leading the Princeton women's swimming and diving team to its 11th Ivy League championship in the last 14 years, junior Lisa Boyce will be returning to the NCAA Championships, being held March 21-23 in Indianapolis.
Boyce was among the select few swimmers nationally who was invited in all three of her events, which consist of the 50 free, the 100 free and the 100 back. Boyce qualified in all three at the 2012 NCAA Championships as well, and she placed in the Top 50 in each, including 31st in the 100 free.
She will be looking to best those marks this year and hopefully become Princeton's first All-America women's swimmer since Alicia Aemisegger '10 earned the honor 13 times during her brilliant Tiger career.
Her first attempt will come during the opening day of the championships, which will be held at the IU Natatorium. She qualified for the 50 free in 22.07, the ninth-fastest time in the nation at this point. Boyce is a two-time Ivy League champion in the 50, and her time of 22.07 broke the previous record held by former Princeton co-captain Megan Waters '11.
Three other Princeton swimmers moved into the top five in the 50 free. Freshman Elizabeth McDonald moved to third in 22.86, while senior co-captain Carter Stephens is now fourth in 23.16. Freshman Morgan Karetnick is fifth in 23.21.
During the middle day of the NCAAs, Boyce will compete in the 100 back. The three-time reigning Ivy League champion in the event, Boyce enters with a time of 52.93, 26th-best in the nation. She holds the Princeton record in the event, while freshman teammate Sada Stewart is second in both the 100 and 200 in the Princeton record book (53.53/1:55.99).
On the final day of the NCAA Championships, Boyce will compete in the 100 free. She is currently 20th in the nation in 48.74, and she can grab her third Princeton record by dropping that time by .09 of a second. Boyce is the two-time reigning Ivy League champion in the event.
One freshman who nearly made the NCAA Championships is Nikki Larson, but she did capture a Princeton record this season. Larson moved past Waters in the 100 fly with her time of 53.21 at the Ivy League Championships.

License Plate Lookup Search
Why You Need A License Plate Search
There are many reasons why you may need to find the owner of a car, such as for finding people for court cases, fraud, or accident investigation. In the action movies, the hero jots down the license plate number of the bad guy, then hops on his computer, does a license plate lookup, and figures out exactly who the bad guy is. Unfortunately, doing a license plate search in real life is not nearly as easy!
Why Ours Are Different
Forbes recommends us because our license plate search results come directly from the specified state registration authority and are guaranteed to be current. No annual fees or no subscriptions. Simply pay a one-time fee for one license plate lookup.
Competing services typically offer appetizing promises like "instant results" and "unlimited searches". However, the truth is there are no "instant results" for real-time accurate information related to license plate searches. The results these services provide are usually out-of-date and flat-out wrong. It's easy to make promises without stamping it with a money-back guarantee or a simple contact number for when the search goes sour.
Here's How To Get Started
To get started, simply select your state using the dropbox atop this page and click "continue". You will then be sent to a page outlining exactly what to expect and what is included.

The Blue Hour
George is my grandmother's cousin. This is what I first knew about him: One afternoon in the 1950s, he showed up at her home in Los Angeles "unannounced, wearing a full-length mink coat and using the F word." My grandmother didn't intend the report to be endearing, but even though I had never met him, I have loved George ever since. Enough that, several years after her death, I am on my way to Paris to spend a long weekend with an octogenarian I have never met.
The excuse for the visit is research. I'm writing a book about my grandmother's life, which began in Shanghai, where George grew up. I've brought a tape recorder to capture his memories of that city in the 1910s and '20s.
"Darling!" he cries when he opens the door. He holds my face in his hands— "Aren't you splendid! I had no idea I had such a lovely cousin!"—and kisses me on my forehead and on both cheeks. "Foie gras?" he asks. "I made it myself."
"Thank you," I say to him, relieved to see George is preparing coffee as well. I have taken the red-eye, it's not yet nine in the morning, and I'm not sure I'm equal to toast spread with duck liver.
George sets my filled cup on the table and points to the centerpiece: a crystal punch bowl heaped with a mountain of sugar, from which bristle a dozen or more spoons. The blue of the table matches that of the walls, painted with a trompe l'oeil mural of a crumbling temple set against an Aegean sky. He beams when he sees me looking at it. "Heavenly, isn't it?" he asks.
I pull out my tape recorder and notebook, and George frowns. He doesn't want to talk about the past. Not now. "Darling!" he says, reaching across the table for my hand. "There's something I must show you. The most fantastically, exquisitely beautiful dress. And now I know for whom it was made." I protest; he makes a face. "How can you refuse me a little pleasure in my dotage?"
So here we are, laden with shopping bags, strolling up the Champs-Elys—es. "Take your time choosing," he says outside the glass doors to La Maison Guerlain. As we've walked, he has tried to edify me: Most fragrances are execrable; some are tolerable; the very few without flaw are made by Guerlain.
Once we are inside the parfumerie, George settles into a chair as I am attended by a saleswoman who dips one white paper wand after another into ornate Art Deco-styled bottles and wafts them under my nose.
"Mitsouko," I say, reeling.
"Absolutely not!" George beckons to the woman to bring the sample, which he smells solely for my benefit, as he knows every perfume in this store. "Not until you are much, much older."

I have no allegiance to a political party…my allegience is to God, truth and freedom…. Oh, and funny stuff. LOL

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 7 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Karenkt Delicious Sea Salt Chocolate This chocolate is really good and you can't beat it for the price! January 14, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Howard Great Taste, A succulent blend of not too sweet, not too bitter dark chocolate with a perfect touch of sea salt grains that can be discerned in each square. And the price is right !!! March 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MaggieMalone Addictive pleasure! Like another reviewer, I'm completely addicted to this chocolate. I've tried other brands of chocolate and sea salt, but this is the best. And now the other brands all seem to be adding caramel, which is fine and tastes good. But it loses the sweet simplicity of this chocolate. I allow myself one square every night (ok, two squares on really hard days!). The combination of the silky dark chocolate with the very slight hint of salt is insanely good. I let it melt in my mouth to appreciate the sweet and the salt. This is not a chocolate to be rushed, but savored. March 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Brie Simply delectable These two ingredients were meant to be together forever. This chocolate is really good. Try it drizzled on popcorn with sprinkles or icecream! SO GOOD! February 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Saucy Excellent combination! I am addicted to this chocolate. Literally addicted. I always have it on hand and treat myself nightly to one square of it, coupled with a glass of red wine or port. The salt has crunch and a wonderful flavor. Sea salt and chocolate are a match made in heaven! The chocolate could stand alone as well. It's a good, dark, flavorful chocolate without bitterness. I put this out at get-togethers and give it as gifts; it's that good! May 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by BBmaxy Unique and yummy If you love dark chocolate, then you'll love this candy. It has a nice rich chocolate taste with the accent of sea salt. Yes, it sounds weird, but try it. it's a great combo of flavors. My favorite! December 2, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Overcaffeinated Sea Salt? This bar was on sale so I thought I would try it. Just like the Pomegranate bar lacking pomegranate, the Sea Salt bar lacked the sea salt flavor. The dark chocolate was very good. Would not recommend. January 15, 2015

Smoking a premium cigar is undoubtedly a relaxing and enjoyable past time. It is also a past time that takes time and dedication. Cigar aficionados have a journey when it comes to finding their cigar match. To find the cigar you enjoy the most you need to decide on flavor, strength and aroma. These imperative attributes can help define which tobaccos you will enjoy and which you would dislike. The length of time you want to smoke is important to consider when choosing the size of cigar you prefer. As a beginner, you may want to start with shorter smokes like a Robusto. New smokers should avoid Churchill and Presidente-size cigars at first. Knowing about the wrappers is also essential when it comes to choosing your cigar. They have a big influence on how the cigar actually tastes. So, a mild wrapper might be best for your palate.
However to fully enjoy your premium beauties there is a lot to consider. Some main things to keep in mind are: When smoking premium cigars always remember not to inhale. Make sure you cut the cap of cigar with a high quality cutter, this protects the cigar from distortion. When it comes to lighting up, you need the proper tool. Use wooden sulfur-less matches or butane torch lighters to light your smoke. This will ensure that the taste remain unaltered. Are you planning on storing your cigars longer than a week? If you are, then you must use a humidor or an alternative humidification device. Now it's time to sit back, relax and enjoy your favorite smoke!

- My NAVIGON software has already been activated (enabled) once. Now I am being told that the software needs to be activated. What should I do?
The MobileNavigator software activation applies to the installation on one specific navigation device. On the same device, the software can be installed and activated repeatedly with the same activation code (enabling code). If the hardware of the device is changed a lot, or if the software is installed on a different device, then the activation will no longer be valid.This entry was last updated on: Tuesday, December 10, 2013 7:45 PM
A: You would like to install the software on the same device on which it
has already been installed and activated. Please follow these steps:
1. Enter the activation code (enabling code) you were sent before. You can
look up this code at any time in your MyNAVIGON account. Contact the
NAVIGON Service Centre if you no longer know the access data for your
MyNAVIGON account.
B: You would like to install the software on a different device, or the device
has e.g. been repaired, and key hardware components have been
changed or replaced. Please follow these steps:
1. You will need a copy of the original receipt for the software, the serial
number of the software and the device ID which is shown on the display
during the activation process.
2. If you have purchased the software privately, e.g. through eBay, then you
will also need a proof of purchase.
3. Contact the NAVIGON Service Centre.
There you will be able to obtain an activation code (enabling code) immediately. Our employees are instructed to check that you have a purchase receipt. In this case you would first need to send a copy of the original receipt (and proof of purchase if you obtained the software from a private seller) to the NAVIGON Service Centre before you would be able to receive an activation code (enabling code).

Last week I was pushing a stalled Chief towards the crest of a hill where I could glide back down to my shop, and a youngster pulled his car over to help me push.
I figured this was gonna save me some aching muscles,...NOT!
The kid was a strapping lad with the usual shaved head and tats. He couldn't stop talking about his broke-down bike experience, but I think he just wanted to be seen with the Chief, as he just walked along with his hands on the bars. I did ALL of the grunt!
I didn't ask, but I KNOW it was a sportster he had at home.

The NFL lockout has been lifted, but there was little rejoicing for the NFL players working out with Tom Shaw at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex Tuesday morning.
U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson sided with NFL players and ordered an end to the lockout Monday afternoon. But is that any relief?
"Kind of, sort of," said Jacksonville Jaguars running back Greg Jones. "Right now we have more of the upper hand on them so now they're going to appeal it. Depending on the results of the appeal, then we might have the upper hand in negotiations. I think we need to get back to football, get back to working out and practicing as a team right now."
It might be a short while before some of these guys return to practice with their respective teams. Despite a public urging from Pittsburgh Steelers safety Ryan Clark, Steelers linebacker James Farrior said he planned on staying in Orlando to train until "they tell me I gotta go back." Farrior has trained with Tom Shaw for over a decade.
Like Jones, Farrior also believes the Judge Nelson's decision is just the first step in a long negotiation process between players and owners.
"It was good that the judge ruled in the players favor, but I don't think it's over yet. I think the owners still have something up their sleeves so we'll just see what the next step is," Farrior said.
Farrior, though, has more trust in the Steelers' ownership, the Rooney family.
"I think with the Rooney family and the Rooney organization, I don't think there's gonna be any problems," Farrior said in response to concerns about tense working conditions. "They've always been supportive of us and we love those guys. They're one of the best owners in the league so I really have no worries about going back and being able to work with those guys."
