The NFL reinstated Payton on Tuesday following a season long suspension. Vitt served has head coach during the suspension. (AP Photo/Dave Martin) by sheldon mickles| Advocate sportswriter Comments MOBILE, Ala. — A day after being reinstated from a season-long bounty suspension, New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton strode confidently into Ladd-Peebles Stadium on a sunny Wednesday morning, rolled up his sleeves and went back to work. Payton arrived just before 9:30 a.m. to take in the Senior Bowl practice, trailing General Manager Mickey Loomis and assistant head coach/linebackers coach Joe Vitt into the stadium by about five minutes. Clutching a large cup of coffee, Payton was alone in the spotlight as he came through the stadium gates and walked past several reporters and a row of about six TV cameras focused on him after being reinstated Tuesday by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Payton immediately walked up the ramps of the stadium, eventually making his way to the seating section occupied by Loomis and Vitt as well as his coaching staff and player personnel department. After greeting everyone with smiles and a hearty round of handshakes, Payton settled in to watch the North team's workout. The South practiced Wednesday afternoon. Two hours later, Payton took questions from at least 40 reporters, speaking candidly for 45 minutes on a number of topics before heading out. "I'm excited to be back," Payton said in his opening statement. "Certainly, getting back into the routine is big. Right now, there's a lot that we have to do." A contrite Payton spoke about his 41/2-hour meeting with Goodell on Monday in New York City, after which Goodell made the decision to let Payton return early. He was originally scheduled to be back on Feb. 4, the day after Super Bowl XLVII. Payton said he has a good relationship with Goodell, who suspended him last March for misleading investigators looking into a pay-for-performance program that Goodell said targeted opposing players with the intent to knock them out of games. Goodell said the league's investigation showed as many as 27 defensive players put money into and received cash rewards from a pool administered by former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams. Only four players were suspended, including Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma for the season and defensive end Will Smith for four games. Their suspensions, along with those of ex-teammates Scott Fujita and Anthony Hargrove, were vacated last month by retired NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue. Vitt has vigorously denied Saints players aimed to harm opposing players and that the money from the pool was distributed for big plays and hard, legal hits. Although not surprised by his early reinstatement, Payton was nonetheless grateful to be allowed to return now by Goodell and said it was important to put closure to the incident and move on to next season. "As soon as the season ends, you have a lot to do for next year," said Payton, whose team finished 7-9 and failed to make the playoffs for the first time since 2008. "It's helpful for us because we have a lot to do." Payton, who did very few interviews after being suspended, said the first two or three weeks were the toughest to get over because the Saints began their offseason program the day he was forced to leave. "It's the time that you're getting into the routine of football," he said. "You have to temper your emotions. "The most important thing was making sure I was dotting the Is and crossing the Ts (with NFL officials) because I wanted to make sure that nothing ever jeopardized my reinstatement." Once the season started, Payton said he had a difficult time because he found himself trying to get into his game-day routine. Naturally, he said he missed the games and competition quite a bit. Included were the coaches and friends in the profession he's built relationships with. Another thing was the daily interaction he became accustomed to over the years with Loomis, Vitt, Saints owner Tom Benson and players like quarterback Drew Brees, Vilma and Smith. "The time you spend with them, it's special because they're like family," Payton said. "You want to see them do well, you want to see them have success." Payton was asked about the Saints' 0-4 start, their first since 2007, and how tough it was to see his defense give up a single-season NFL record of 7,042 yards before it was finally over. "I was watching it from afar," he said, "but certainly, there were things you see at times that became frustrating." After acknowledging his coaches and players had to deal with an unprecedented set of circumstances, it didn't help that people kept asking how frustrated he was — especially during their early struggles. When asked how much his absence had to do with the losing record, Payton ticked off a list of their biggest woes — giving up too many yards on defense, not running the ball well early in the season, and poor special teams play. "I think," he said before pausing for several seconds, "when you play the way we played defense, it's hard to win. When you struggle running the ball the way we did, you're not going to win. When you struggle on special teams — these things keep you from winning." On Wednesday night, Payton and the football operations staff were scheduled to evaluate the defensive side of the ball after the offense was covered Tuesday night as they continue to look for answers. "We'll look closely at the personnel and how we used them," he said. "Most importantly, did we ask them to do what they do best — and did he do it? That's the one thing that keeps me up at night. "Right now, we have a ton of work to do," added Payton, who noted there was no chance of him going anywhere when the contract extension he got in 2011 was voided before he signed a new deal this month. "It's painful. There are a lot of things to do; that's what 7-9 is. Those are our big challenges." Payton said he was recently reminded by his mentor, Bill Parcells, that it's not going to be automatically better next season just because he's back. "You have to have the mindset that you may not win 11 games next year, you might win five games," he said, recalling what Parcells told him. "He's right because we have a long ways to go. A lot goes into winning in this league." Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

ZF-8690: Rename CacheManager resource to Cache
It's been decided to rename Zend_Application_Resource_CacheManager to Zend_Application_Resource_Cache to be more in line with other resource plugins. E.g., the Dojo resource plugin only configures the dojo view helper, the Mail Resource plugin basically only configures the MailTransport, the db adapter only configures a specific adapter, etc...
Done with r20025, r20024, r20026
This has been reverted back to Cachemanager, can we expect it to remain like this or?
Yes. It turned out that cachemanager was better after all.

Howdy ya'll! How's life out there in blogworld?
I have been busy busy busy designing, but thought you should get a chance to see a couple of the new designs coming out in my Spring 2010 collection called "Eden".
This collection was inspired by my love of springtime, and some of the Easter-ish colors that are celebrated in that season.
I know we are headed into fall, and my fall collection "Santorini" is about to hit the store shelves... (see Hancock's of Paducah: available for pre-order) But In October I will have a booth at quilt market showcasing "Eden", and that is what I'm focusing on right this minute.
Here are a couple of actual scans of that fabric...so you can see how it was translated to cloth. These are all in the pink colorway. There is also a lavender colorway.
This one is called "Paradise"
This one is called "Eve's garden"
This is called "Dahlia Dreams"
As you can see, these are a lot softer than my other collections have been, so it's a new look for me! They said they wanted soft and pretty, so that's what they got!
Now those above are nothing like the colors in the next line...as yet unnamed, coming up after "Eden" in the fall of 2010.
Here's a couple more little snippets of that line:
Remember...not every design makes the cut, or every color combo. So these are just some potential designs.
I just like to share these things along the way...so you know I'm not just sitting on my duff all day eating bon bons and watching soap operas!
When my camera gets fixed, I'll share some other stuff with ya!
Have a good one...

Comments about Chase Authentics NASCAR Unites An American Salute Womens T-Shirt:
I like that the colours on this shirt are brighter than they appear online. The cotton for this shirt is very thick, so it will last a long time! It may be too warm to wear in summer since it is so thick, but I live in one of the hottest cities in the country, so that may only apply to me. I recommend it - the fit is superb!

I seem to only find Honoree in the web, but Word spell corrector indicates me that I should write HonoUree. Which form is correct?

This question is too basic; it can be definitively and permanently answered by a single link to a standard internet reference source designed specifically to find that type of information.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
The Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary includes "honouree", and lists "honoree" as the US variant. (The OED doesn't seem to include either word.)
If the rest of your document uses British spellings (-ise, -our etc), "honouree" might be better--otherwise, you can safely stick with honoree.
I happen to know a bit about UK honours and I have never until now come across the word honouree, with or without the 'u'.
Honouree is the British word for the American word Honoree. Both are correct. You should decide the usage of the word depending on who is going to read it . If you are writing to a British use "Honour" else use "Honor".

"This soup was great! I omitted the salt and cooked the vegetables in seasoned chicken broth. I also increased the amount of broth by maybe 1/2 cup and increased the vegetables because I like my soups chock full of goodies. I also used sharp cheddar for the cheese, and was pleased to find that the soup had a smooth texture, not a grainy one."

Walk/run event kicks off Triad Commute Challenge
Published: Thursday, March 7, 2013 at 3:52 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 7, 2013 at 3:52 p.m.
The Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation will kick off the 2013 Triad Commute Challenge with the Commuter Dash run/walk event.
This USA Track and Field Certified 5K race will be held April 6 at High Point Theatre and be officially timed. High Point Mayor Bernita Sims is helping to start the race.
Registration for the Commuter Dash is free and open to the public. All those who register are pledging to take the Triad Commute Challenge. Free transportation will be provided to the event by PART, Winston-Salem Transit Authority and Greensboro Transit Authority. To learn more and register, visit www.triadcommutechallenge.com.
The Triad Commute Challenge begins April 6 and will run through July 6, hosted by PART in partnership with Triad Air Awareness. The goal is to encourage commuters to use an alternate commute option at least one time instead of driving alone.
Last year, more than 5,600 people pledged to carpool, ride the bus, bike, walk or telecommute instead of driving alone. As a result, participants saved approximately $759,000 in fuel expenses while reducing over 4.4 million vehicle miles of travel, according to PART.

practical course for chefs by chefs without the added extras that are
not relevant to the kitchen.

with students sitting watching instead of cooking themselves.
Our instructors are qualified chefs with industry relevant experience whose primary responsibility is to equip

We do not chase competitions or encourage celebrity. Instead we offer repetitive training of the basic principles
of cookery in an environment of one-on-one tuition. We care about our students' abilities because they reflect
on our brand.
Past graduates have excelled in the industry and run top kitchens in Cape Town, The Test Kitchen, Cavalli Estate &
The Greenhouse to name a few.Others have gone on to open their own business such as The Creamery, Woodstock Bakery
and Shesha Catering. We like to think that our course gave them that little bit extra to achieve their success.
We invite you to come in and see our facilities and join a class to see first hand what it's like at SA Chefs Academy
before you make your decision to study as a chef. If you're from out of town drop us an email & check out the video on

The 2008 Rivalry Ride. Yep. It snowed that year. Yep. That's Mayor Becker.This Saturday bike-loving Mayor Ralph Becker and Provo City Mayor (not sure of his bike policy stance, presumably pro?) John Curtis will ride from Provo to Salt Lake City for some reason that kind of has to do with the Utes-Cougars thing but is really about hunger, apparently. Whew.
Cool thing is you can go too. Bring your bike to the the City County Building at 8:30 a.m., Saturday, May 7 or if you're already in Provo meet at the Provo City Center at 10 a.m. where the 50 mile ride of mayoral rivals will begin.
Let's go to the press release:
"The two mayors encourage the public to donate cans of non-perishable food items at the Provo City Center, the Salt Lake City & County Building or at residential doorsteps for pick up by letter carriers on Saturday, May 14. The Utah Food Bank and Community Action Services and Food Bank will also continue to accept food donations before and after the Rivalry Ride."
So Food Bank stuff. Cool But I'm really curious about the bike way from Provo to SLC so I'm planning on schlepping down to Provo with Mayor Becker and back on Saturday. See you there?

The public defender's office withdrew Thursday from representing a man charged with murder.
Public defender Gail Morrison Thursday asked for the public defender's office to be removed from representing Anthony Wright, 42, of Canon City for financial reasons. Wright, a former funeral home director in Florence, has too many assets, Morrison said Thursday, and will not financially qualify for public defender services.
District Court Judge Mark MacDonnell accepted the withdraw and gave Wright two weeks to obtain a private attorney. Morrison had originally asked the court to allow up to 60 days for Wright to obtain an attorney so he would have enough time to collect money for a retainment. One lawyer, she said, was requesting $50,000.
Wright, 42, of Florence, was arrested on first-degree murder, second-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder in the death of longtime local funeral home director Byron Griffy.
Griffy, 77, of Fowler, was found dead of a gunshot wound. Griffy was a longtime resident of the Lower Arkansas Valley and had owned Griffy Family Funeral Home in Fowler before retiring, a few years before his death.
Wright bonded out of jail earlier in September on $250,000 bail.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Girlpetunia Meets our needs and pretty to boot! I ordered this table to be used as a 'tv tray' and we love it. It's quite sturdy, is plenty tall enough for that purpose, the capiz shell surface seems to have a coating on it that prevents chipping, and the uneven surface that others have complained about is minor. It has nice little rubber feet and doesn't scratch the hardwood floor. 2 thumbs up! March 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tamaraltt High-end looking, Functional, & Sturdy! LOVE IT! This table looks wonderful and is very sturdy. I love the fact that everyone you know will not have this table as well. Even when you are not working off of the table its so high-end looking that it can stand on its own as an end table. If you want to jazz up your design style, go for this table instead of the regular looking kind. Even though this is a laptop table, its really a show piece. Enjoy! January 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by beanmaker Love this! I ordered this for my husband (who has been using my dining room chair for this purpose). His first response was, "What, you don't like me using the chair?". A day later, it was "I love this thing! I can recline and still reach my computer! Look at this, it actually will pull over the couch!" and proceeds to demonstrate how amazing the table is. I only wish I'd bought one for myself at the same time (25% off was a definite bonus). Only complaint is that the shell flakes off a little bit. Haven't really noticed any flaking since assembly though, so it could just be under more rough circumstances. December 13, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by nand beautiful but too delicate These tables are gorgeous, many positive remarks from visitors. The only problem is the capiz shells sometimes start peeling off. But I am using them for TV trays instead of the suggested laptop table! October 26, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Lucky Basically attractive and functional, not 100% Very nice product, essentially. Intuitively easy to assemble. One observation: in the final stage of assembly, screwing the white top onto the black frame, it was possible to attach only three of the four screws. The openings for the screws underneath the white top did not line up exactly with the frame, causing the final screw to not gain traction with the opening for it on the black frame. So the piece is now in use, absent the fourth screw. Really, I have no issue with assembly pieces, in fact I think it's fun to build them. But flaws like this remind us that the era of professionally assembled goods is a distant memory. September 3, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Candice99 Very useful I got this cute little table as a side table next to place next to the couch that would swing over the couch's arm so I could put dinner on it or my laptop. Unfortunately, it's not tall enough for me to do that. My couch's arm is about 3 inches taller than the table. I still use it, though. It's really cute and I've been using it a lot when I'm working while sitting on the couch. I put my laptop on it and work using it. One other thing that may or may not turn you off: The surface is uneven. I don't think this is a huge deal, but it's sort of surprising. It would be great if you could adjust the height.

The house was not free but was one in a settlement that was located right on the main road.
The kitchen was so spartan modestly furnished, even absent a kitchen towel, no spice was vorhanden.Rein nothing.
Price - performance ratio is not right.
Das Haus stand nicht frei, sondern war eines in einer Siedlung, die sich direkt an der Hauptstraße befand.
Die Küche war so spartanisch bescheiden eingerichtet, selbst ein Küchenhandtuch fehlte, kein Gewürz war vorhanden.Rein gar nichts.
Preis - Leistungsverhältnis stimmte nicht.
Prima huis in een mooie omgeving. Met parkeerplaats bij het huis.
Complete inrichting, voldoende ruimte. De bedden sliepen prima. Ruime badkamer met toilet.
Hoewel het huis aan de straat ligt, gescheiden door hoge conifeerhagen, had je geen last van het verkeer.
Op redelijk afstand van het strand. Prachtige fietsomgeving.
Wir waren sehr zufrieden! Wir fanden ein kleines gemütliches Haus vor und haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Wir würden gerne wiederkommen, dann aber 1-2 Tage mehr, es war einfach zu kurz :)
Nice clean well equipped apartment. Very friendly hoists. Would recommend to all my friends.
The Oasis is a wonderful and great accomodation. The house is surrounded by Lemon trees and offers a great view to the sea. It is well equipped, clean and very comfortable for Groups/families up to ten. Highly recommanded.
The place shown on the pictures has an open swimming pool. However if you 're in to reading all the small letters in the massive paper work of Inter Home you Will Read That the pool is open from the 15th of June. What à dissapointment for my daughter. Furthermore we had to pay for the bedlinen on top of the cleaning which was counted pro person. And of course because it was cold we had to pay for the heating although in the living room was no heating system, only in the bath and bedroom. The owners were. Ice although when people arrive in the middle of the night due to their flight it would be nice if there would be something to drink. The garden is large and nice decorated so I think in summer when the pool is open it will be a paradise. For myself I think it is deceive that Wimdu puts this booking through a link connecting to another website. In this way you pay a lot more and you don,'t get what is shown on the pictures. I will never book in this manner again because in the end you pay a lot more.
Wonderful place with great hosts. The apartment is spacious and very clean, the beds are big and comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped and the balcony offers a superb view of Eiger. We will certainly come back again.
nice sunny apartment, close to mountains, ideal for active holidays close to innsbruck and germany.
a bit 90's furnishing but everything clean and usefull.
Thanks a lot
We had a great time. The accommodation was good, room was clean and complete. It had a nice parking garage, a bit small but fine.
It was no problem that we arrived late in the evening (car trouble). The breakfast service was convenient and good. We had a great view of the mountains and we got some great advice about the area from the landlord.
We would recommend this accommodation to everyone who loves nature. But you do have to travel a bit (25min) for the first big supermarket.
Convenient to 3 metro lines; furnished; pictures of small rooms accurate; elevator. Shelves and dishes grimy; very noisy street (major road to airport) during week; no trash cans; smelly towels poorly laundered; some musty smells throughout; no Internet (borrowed from neighbor, though).
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

I think I opened the proverbal can of worms today ! I was re fitting the generator to the bike after a thorough overhaul and while setting the drive chain tension/play I noticed it go tight then over 1/2" of slack on turning the motor over. Could a knackered chain do this ? Generator sprocket appears to be running concentric and looks fairly new. Looks like a fair old strip down to check the crankshaft sprocket.

Placing Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) on the Agenda for Rio+20:
American Cancer Society Input for the United Nations Conferenceon Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro, 4-6 June 2012
As world leaders and experts meet to secure renewed political commitment for sustainable development, toassess progress to date, and to address new and emerging challenges it is imperative that attention is drawnto the topic of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and their links to economic development and the environment. NCDs?cancer, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, and diabetes?have been increasingly acknowledged as a major health and economic development issue, and one of the most significant emerging challenges to poverty eradication.
The magnitude of this threat has been recently acknowledged in the UN High Level Meeting on the Preventionand Control of NCDs and its resulting political declaration (September 2011). The importance of the NCD burden and its links to sustainable development and equity concerns were also highlighted by many memberstates, experts, and civil society representatives at the recent WHO Meeting on the Social Determinants ofHealth in Rio de Janeiro (October 2011).
The Global NCD Burden
NCDs are the leading causes of death in the world, accounting for 63% of global deaths1. The burden of NCDs is greatest in the developing world, with nearly 80% of NCD deaths occurring in low and middle incomecountries2. In addition, vulnerable and socially disadvantaged people in developing countries get sicker anddie sooner as a result of NCDs than people of higher socio-economic status3. Approximately half of all female deaths in low and middle countries are attributable to NCDs4. Among women ages 15-59 in low and middleincome countries, NCDs account for 37% of total deaths and 18.5% of the overall DALY burden (disabilityadjusted life years)5. Even in low income countries the percentage of female deaths attributable to NCDs(32.6%) far exceeds those attributed to maternal conditions (3.6%) and HIV/AIDs (6.3%)6.
Projected increases in NCD incidence and mortality are expected to be greatest in developing countries.Between 2010 and 2020, global NCD deaths are projected to increase by 15%. NCD growth is projected to behighest in the regions of Africa, South-East Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean, where between 2010 and2020 NCD deaths are projected to increase by over 20%7. The growth in cancer incidence by 2030 is projectedto be over twice as high in low income countries (82% growth) compared to high income countries (40%growth)8.
The increase in NCDs is shifting the global disease burden and placing what has been referred to as ?a tripledisease burden??infectious, non-communicable and pregnancy related conditions?on people and healthsystems in developing countries, thereby complicating our ability to ensure the right to health. In combination,these place a tremendous and escalating strain on resource-poor health systems.9 NCDs thus represent a major and growing socio-economic burden in the developing world, which places undue strain on communities and health systems and is a major contributor to poverty. In the Political Declaration of the recent UN High Level Meeting on the Prevention and Control of NCDs, which has been unanimously adopted byMember States, the link between NCDs and poverty is underscored, noting ?with grave concern the viciouscycle whereby NCDs and their risk factors worsen poverty, while poverty contributes to rising rates of NCDs,posing a threat to public health and economic and social development.?10
The NCD burden in the developing world is on the rise due to demographic factors and development-relatedchanges in lifestyle, nutrition, and behavior. Chief factors contributing to the NCD burden, its growth worldwide, and its increasing impact in developing countries include:
? Demographic changes (i.e., and aging population) due to the combination of increasing life expectancywith decreasing fertility rates11.
? Changes in diet, working patterns, and activity patterns12 as a result of economic development, urbanization, and globalization, that have increased exposure to major NCD risk factors (the most significant of which are tobacco, obesity, physical inactivity, and excessive alcohol consumption)
Some of the main common NCD risk factors are increasing as a result of environmentally problematic economic development policies and practices. For example, increases in obesity, physical inactivity, and air pollution have been fostered by planning and transportation patterns in urban centers that have also promoted environmental degradation. Poor diet (i.e., ?overnutrition?) and obesity have also been fostered byenvironmentally unsound rural development practices that diminish the availability of fruits and vegetablesand undermine food security.
A major impact on the NCD burden can be made by through preventative measures to address the maincommon NCD risk factors and strengthen access to NCD treatment and management. For example the, globalcommunity has the knowledge and tools to prevent more than half of all new cancer cases and cancer deathsworldwide13. The WHO estimates that approximately 40% of worldwide cancer deaths can be prevented byimproving eating habits and physical activity, reducing tobacco use and alcohol consumption, and immunizingagainst viruses.
Health, NCDs, and Sustainable Development
The critical importance of health as a foundation of sustainable development has been widely acknowledged.Health and development are intimately interconnected, and environmentally problematic forms of economicdevelopment can result in severe environmental health and nutritional problems. The important links betweenhealth, the environment, socioeconomic disparities, and poverty are acknowledged in both Agenda 21 and theRio Declaration on Environment and Development. Within Agenda 21`s section on ?social and economic dimensions? (section I), health figures as a chief focus. Agenda 21 underscores the ?primary health needs ofthe world's population? as ?integral to the achievement of the goals of sustainable development and primaryenvironmental care.
In particular, Agenda 21 emphasizes ?preventive and curative health facilities, especially primary health careand maternal health care systems accessible to all? as a critical component of sustainable development14. Furthermore, Agenda 21 affirms that efforts to address health, environmental and socio-economic concernsrequire intersectoral actions?with a particular emphasis on preventative health measures?and that there is aneed to ?to coordinate the involvement of citizens, the health sector, the health-related sectors and relevant non-health sectors (business, social, educational and religious institutions) in solutions to health problems15?.
The Johannesburg Declaration on Sustainable Development (from the 2002 Earth Summit in Johannesburg,South Africa) reaffirms the central importance of health in sustainable development, stating in paragraph 19 that: ?We reaffirm our pledge to place particular focus on, and give priority attention to, the fight against the worldwide conditions that pose severe threats to the sustainable development of our people, which include...endemic, communicable and chronic diseases, in particular HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis...?16
Despite the widespread acknowledgement of health as a critical foundation of sustainable development,attention to NCDs in particular has been minimal, overlooking the important links between NCD preventionand control and global sustainable economic development. Given that environmental degradation and NCDs share similar causes and solutions, inclusion of the NCD challenge as part of broader debates about sustainable development and green economies and in the outcome document adopted at Rio in 2012 isessential to ensure more sustainable approaches to economic development.
Summary Recommendations for Rio+20
The American Cancer society urges that the Rio+20 meeting and its outcomes document reinforce the centralimportance of health concerns in global sustainable development policies, strategies, and actions, and that theconception of health within sustainable development be broadened in a manner that holistically integratesNCDs and established health priorities (e.g., maternal and child health and communicable diseases) andencompasses health issues throughout the lifecycle, with a particular emphasis on the most vulnerable populations.
NCDs are a major component of future demographic, economic development, and environmental trendsglobally and it is critical that they part of the dialog, metrics, and policies of sustainable development. It is imperative that the potential synergies between NCD control and environmental concerns be incorporatedwithin the agenda of the Rio+20 meeting. In particular, we urge attention to the importance of NCD prevention and control for:
? Promoting, health, wellness, and poverty alleviation.
? Monitoring the impacts of development and providing evidence-based support for sustainable development.
? Strengthening strategies for multisectoral policy development and planning, thereby maximizing theirpotential for the effective promotion of health, the environment, and sustainable development.
? Developing rural development and agricultural policies that support food security, nutritional health,and environmental sustainability.
? Developing urban planning and transportation policies and plans that promote health, environmental,and economic goals.
? Developing policies and strategies for tobacco control that promote health and sustainable development.
Potential Synergies between NCD Control and Sustainable Development
Policies and actions for NCD control and environmental issues have the potential for important synergies.Some environmental policies may also pose health risks or tradeoffs (e.g., economic and agricultural policiesto promote biofuel production can undermine food security and nutrition if not properly designed) that needto be considered in formulating sustainable development policies17. Inclusion of NCDs in sustainable development discussions is important to better understand the links between health and the environment andto maximize potential synergies between environmental, health, and economic development policies.
NCD control can contribute to a variety of elements encompassed within the vision of sustainable development as articulated in Agenda 21, including: promoting food security as a component of sustainable agriculture,protecting and empowering vulnerable communities and groups (e.g., women) in decision making processes,giving attention to rapid urbanization, reducing health risks from environmental pollution and hazards,strengthening basic health care services for women and children, and promoting of health education andprovision of essential drugs, and the development and monitoring of health indicators for sustainable development.
More broadly, interventions for NCDs can contribute towards progress on the Millennium Development Goals(MDGs). For example, controlling NCDs will make progress towards ending poverty (MDG1) and it willpromote gender equity (MDG3) and child health (MDG4). Similarly, reducing adult death rates and disabilitypromotes economic growth and poverty reduction (MDG1); and, given that NCDs are the leading cause ofdeath for women in most countries, preventing NCDs promotes women?s health and empowerment (MDG3).NCD prevention efforts can also complement interventions to ensure environmental sustainability (MDG7)through promoting biodiversity-friendly, sustainable food production, limiting production of and exposure toair and water pollution, and limiting occupational exposure to toxic compounds, among other measures.
Below is a survey of some specific examples of potential synergies between NCDs and environmental concernsthat can contribute to the pursuit of the broader global objective of promoting sustainable development.
NCDs, Health, and Poverty Alleviation
? Improved prevention and control of NCDs diminishes the health and economic burden on vulnerablepopulations, thereby contributing to poverty alleviation and the promotion of sustainable development.Actions targeting NCDs also support other global health priorities (e.g., maternal and child health,communicable diseases) and are essential to health system strengthening. Improved NCD control willstrengthen healthcare systems in ways that will bolster interventions for all diseases and health conditions, including improving and strengthening: public health literacy, human resources, technicalcapacity, primary care capacity and delivery, diagnostic capacity, infrastructure for secondary andtertiary care, and procurement strategies for essential medications. Priority interventions for NCDs ? such as tobacco control and improved nutrition? would actually benefit maternal and child health18 For example, reducing smoking and indoor air pollution decreases childhood illness. Improvements inhealth status and in the quality and accessibility of health care as a result of attention to NCDs areessential for addressing poverty alleviation and promoting sustainable development.
NCD Prevention and Sustainable Development
? Prevention of some of the major NCD risk factors (e.g., poor diet, nutrition, and lack of physicalactivity) can and should be addressed through sustainable development policies (e.g., policies aimed at food security, sustainable agriculture, sustainable transportation, and urban air pollution). Attention to NCDs within the framework of sustainable development provides important synergies between healthand environmental concerns, helping to provide evidence-based support for negative impacts of environmental policies as well as strengthening the potential outcomes of environmental policy andgovernance structures.
? Because of overlapping causes between health and environmental concerns, there are potential synergies between educational efforts for NCD prevention/awareness and environmental sustainability.
? The development and implementation of preventative health and wellness initiatives within governmentpolicies and the private sector contribute to a greener economy and avert placing unnecessary burdenson economic and health systems.
? Attention to NCDs can help improvement monitoring of impacts of sustainable development initiativesand the development of evidence-based policies and strategies for sustainable development. Agenda 2119 calls for taking into account demographic trends and factors as essential to formulating integrated national policies for environment and development. Attention to the causes and implications of the NCD burden is an indispensible component of the future demographic trends thatneeds to inform sustainable development policies and plans.
NCDs, the Environment, and Multisectoral Approaches to Sustainable Development
? Cross cutting measures are essential for promoting sustainable livelihoods and environmental protection. As is the case for environmental issues, addressing NCDs requires a multi-sectoral, whole-government approach. Addressing both of these issues, necessitates engaging ministries of health,environment, transportation, agriculture, finance, foreign affairs, and education?among others?and,therefore, integrated approaches to addressing both issues can be supportive of strengthened modelsfor effective multisectoral actions and institutional frameworks for sustainable development. Agenda 21 acknowledges the virtue of intersectoral approaches that integrate health and environmental concerns, asserting that the ?linkage of health, environmental and socio-economic improvements requires intersectoral efforts?.Particularly relevant is the inclusion of prevention programmes ratherthan relying solely on remediation and treatment.? The Political Declaration of the recent UN High Level Meeting on the Prevention and Control of NCDs includes a commitment to ?promote, establish orsupport and strengthen, by 2013, as appropriate multi-sectoral national policies and plans for theprevention and control of non-communicable diseases20.? Inclusion of environmental considerations as part of the process of developing these multisectoral policies and plans is fundamental to the promotion of health and sustainable development.
NCD Control and Rural Sustainable Development
? Integration of health and environmental concerns is critical in formulating rural development andagricultural policies aiming to promote food security, improved nutrition, and more environmentallysound Land and resource use practices. Attention to the NCD issue can help strengthen support forsuch policies and potentially improve their impacts on health, wellbeing, and the economy. A recent report (Bringing Agriculture to the Table How Agriculture and Food Can Play a Role in PreventingChronic Disease) asserts that ?In the decades to come, the agriculture and food system will need tochange to meet the related challenges of rising demand, accessibility and affordability, and improvednutrition and health?, necessitating an ?integrated look at agriculture, food, nutrition, and the growingthreat of diet-related chronic diseases.? The threat of ?dual malnutrition? brought on by the rise ofNCDs needs to be acknowledged and integrated within agricultural and resource utilization policies inorder to make ?healthy foods more available and affordable to consumers at all income levels?, therebyfostering more sustainable economic development. The persistence of ?current trends in agriculturewould mean maintaining inequitable food distribution, unhealthy diets, unsustainable environmentalthreats, and unknown risks from climate change? 21 . Addressing NCDs requires a multisectoral response that engages agricultural and food productions sectors (among others) in support of healthobjectives22. In order promote sustainable development there is a need for integrated approaches to enhancing agricultural production, increasing food access, supporting healthy populations, and protecting the environment. A combined focus on health and the environment is important for developing fiscal policies and subsidies that more fully account for environmental and health externalities and maximize their potential for promoting sustainable development. For example, policyand market instruments to support small scale food producers and farming communities in order topromote food security and improved availability and access to nutritious foods need to be mindful ofboth under and over nutrition in order to effectively promote sustainable development23. Conversely,policies targeting the price, availability, and marketing of unhealthy foods need to be cognizant ofenvironmental concerns, ensuring that they do not foster unsustainable resource use practices andmaximizing their potential to be leveraged for the promotion of more environmentally sound resourceuse practices.
NCD Control, Urbanization, and Urban Green Development
? Agenda 21 underscores the importance of attention to rapid urbanization and calls for the need for?greater attention should be given to preparing for the needs, in particular of women and children, forimproved municipal management and local government.? It also highlights the links between urbandevelopment, poverty, inadequate diets, and environmental hazards and the importance of attention tourban health as an integral component of sustainable development. Furthermore, it the underscores the fact that in urban contexts ?many factors that affect human health are outside the health sector?, thus requiring coordinated actions to address urban health. Given the important links between urbanization and decreases in physical activity, impoverishment of diet, and air pollution, attention toNCD control is a critically important component of urban sustainable development policies and programs. For example, WHO?s Health in the Green Economy brief24?which highlights some potential synergies and tradeoffs between health and climate change policies and interventions?asserts that ?cycling, walking and using rapid transit/public transport can greatly enhance levels of physicalactivity, helping prevent a range of chronic diseases including cancer, heart disease and diabetes.?Green transportation initiatives provide an excellent example of synergies between health and environmental issues. Green urban planning and transportation policies (e.g., investment in andprovision of transport network space for pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, and Land use planningthat increases density and diversity of uses) can diminish risk factors for respiratory disease, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, and obesity, through promoting physical activity and addressing air pollution25.
Tobacco Control and Sustainable Development
? Tobacco exposure is a risk factor for cancer, cardiovascular disease, respiratory diseases, diabetes, andother diseases, and tobacco-related deaths are the single most preventable cause of death in theworld, making it one of the most pressing global health priorities.
? The WHO FCTC (Framework Convention on Tobacco Control)?an international treaty which currentlyincludes 174 parties?emphasizes the importance of ?protection of the environment? (Article 18) as partof tobacco control efforts, calling for ?Combined health and environmental efforts to promote nutrition and food security to promote government policies promote corporate initiatives that are environmentally sound and promote health, including social responsibility initiatives, workplace initiatives, and business practices (e.g., food and beverage industry)?. The FCTC contains a mixture of demand and supply side interventions for tobacco control. Among the three supply side interventions is ?Provision of support for economically viable alternative activities?, including for tobacco workersand growers (Article 17). Supply side measures targeting tobacco cultivation can provideenvironmental benefits (and health benefits to rural workers) and need to incorporate a sustainabledevelopment framework in promoting alternative agricultural and Land use programs.
? Increasing taxes on tobacco products is seen as one of the most effect ways to diminish demand and promote tobacco control26. Resources raised through these taxes can potentially be applied to supporting economically and environmentally sustainable alternative agricultural activities.
? Implementing comprehensive national tobacco control strategies also brings additional potential economic benefits, thereby supporting sustainable development efforts. Smoke-free workplaces createa healthier workforce that benefits businesses by reducing absenteeism, improving productivity, andlowering healthcare costs and insurance premiums27. Secondhand smoke imposes a heavy financialburden on businesses in the form of increased medical costs for employees, lost productivity due toillness, higher insurance premiums, and other costs.28

I want to give a big shout out to the holiday season. I know what you're thinking: My love for this time of year is all about spreading the joy, connecting to friends and family, sharing the good will, blah, bah, blah. Sure, sure, all that is GREAT, but what I ALSO love is that the holiday season gives us occasions to dress up. Bring on the glamour, I say!
For those of you who want to gussy up without, say, sparkling like a Vegas showgirl (note to all: step away from the bugle beads), let's turn our attention to velvet. I love velvet, and let me tell you why: it feels good, the fabric makes any color look more saturated, and it says "special occasion" in an instant. But velvet is tricky, as in, bulky. Leave it to little girls with dreams of sugar plumbs to wear an entire dress made out of the fabric, and instead opt for a velvet blazer. It's stylish…timeless…grown up.
This season there are lots of them to choose from, and at every price point. Go for classic and tailored (three buttons, notched collar), that's as fitted as can be and still leave you room for an egg nog (or two). I love them in navy, brown, or burgundy, and my new favorite color, gray. Wear one with your favorite black pants or a pencil skirt, over a soft dress (chiffon, silk), even with a pair of dark rinse jeans. The look is polished enough for a professional fete (like, say, the office holiday party), but sumptuous enough for something more intimate, like a friend's dinner party.
Go! Buy! Be Chic!

Here are answers to some common questions about downloading files from the Internet.
When you
download a file—such as a program, update, game, video, or document—you transfer it from the Internet to your computer.
There is always a small risk that a downloaded file will contain a virus or malware (malicious software) that can damage your computer. Here are some precautions you can take:
Install and use an antivirus program. Antivirus programs scan files before opening them and notify you if a file is potentially unsafe.
Only download files from websites that you trust. For more information, see When to trust a website.
If a file contains a digital signature, Internet Explorer 9 will let you know if the signature is valid. If it's not, don't open the file. To see the digital signature, click the publisher link in the security dialog box that Windows Internet Explorer 9 displays when you first download the file. The digital signature information tells you whether the file is valid or not.
Certain file types, such as program files with file name extensions including .exe, .scr, .bat, .com, or .pif, are less safe because they can carry viruses. A potentially dangerous file can be disguised as a less risky file type by including two file extensions, such as filename.txt.exe. This example might look like a text file because of the .txt file name extension, but it's actually an executable file.
When you download files using Download Manager, they're automatically saved in the Downloads folder. This folder is usually located on the drive where Windows is installed (for example, C:\users\your name\downloads). For information about managing your downloads and changing where they are saved, see Using Download Manager in Internet Explorer
If you're saving a file, you can choose to save it to a particular folder. If you don't select a folder yourself, some files are automatically saved to a folder associated with the file type. For example, if you right-click a picture on a webpage, and then choose Save Picture As, it will be saved to the Pictures folder.
Internet Explorer 9 uses add-ons (such as the Adobe Reader) to view some files in the browser. You might have an older version of the add-on that needs to be updated to work with Internet Explorer 9. Go to the add-on's website to download an update.
Your connection might be slow. If you have a dial-up connection, it takes a lot longer to download files
than if you have a broadband connection, such as DSL or cable.
Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) might be offline or experiencing heavy Internet traffic. Wait a while, and then try again.
If you're on a corporate network, there might be a problem with the network settings. Check with your system administrator.
Try closing programs you're not using.
Your computer might have spyware running. Try scanning your computer for spyware. For more information about removing spyware, see Remove spyware from your computer.
Missing updates can affect your computer's performance. Go to the Windows Update website and check for updates.
Yes. You can cancel a download at any time by clicking the Cancel button in the Download Manager. Click the Pause button to pause the download, and the Resume button to continue the download.

Neal Bowlen guides campers in dogsledding at the summer Snow Dog Camp. Photo courtesy of Neal Bowlen.
Maybe you've seen the movies—White Fang, Call of the Wild—and know that dogsledding isn't quite the same as taking a tube to the hill at Sugar House Park. But at Pawsatch, a dogsledding company offering the summer Snow Dog Camp, kids can learn the sport's basics in less-harsh conditions (not blizzards) while bonding with the 30 huskies and malamutes. Started by Neal Bowlen seven years ago in the Park City mountains, Pawsatch offers winter dogsled rides in addition to summer mushing—the term for dog-powered transport—camps.
The two-day junior mushing incorporate just about every detail of dogsledding. Kids learn how to read a dog's behavior and take care of necessary chores, from feeding to equipment checks. "It's mushing 101 for kids," says Bowlen, who has been dogsledding for more than a decade. "If your kids are dog lovers and love to work outside and get dirty, this camp is for them." Each morning, the crew heads into the mountains, where kids train the dogs on a wheeled cart that mimics a winter sled. Commands like "hike," "gee," "haw" and "on bye" will become part of your kid's vocab. The whole family can attend the overnight senior camp. "It's like a tour for mom and dad," Bowlen says. "The kids and my staff prep the dogs, the parents get dinner ready and then we go on a night run beneath the stars."
Registration: First come first serve, ages 7 and up
Dates: Weekly sessions (Tuesday and Thursday), $250 (single day), $450 (two-day)
Cost: $315 for the Junior Mushing Camp, $475 for the Senior Mushing Camp
Location: Pawsatch Ranch, Park City
Contact: Neal Bowlen, 435-608-1063, pawsatch.com

In 1992 Vinton, Va. — in partnership with the city of Roanoke and Roanoke county — became one of the first cities in the United States to use existing railroad tracks to transport solid waste from its transfer station to a landfill. Operations Manager Steve Barger lauds the efforts, "Getting the public involved early is critical, as doing so allowed them to take ownership of the decision-making process."
The result of these efforts was the establishment of the Roanoke Valley Resource Authority (RVRA), the first totally rail-haul disposal system in the country. "Waste Line Express began transporting from our transfer station to the landfill in 1994, and remains one of the most unique and efficient waste disposal facilities in the nation today," says Barger.
Vinton teamed up with Norfolk & Southern Railroads to add five miles of track to the already existing 28 miles of track to avoid increased truck traffic and other potential safety hazards. The Tinker Creek transfer station, which was designed to resemble an old-time railroad building, houses a Doosan DX225LC excavator that fills 12 rail cars, where they take a 33-mile voyage and ultimately end up at the Smith Gap Landfill. Altogether, the 12 cars can transport about 65 tons of solid waste.
The cars are emptied upon arrival to the landfill by arguably the world's largest indoor rotary dumper. The waste wood is then turned into mulch by a Doosan DX190W excavator. Citizens can pick up this mulch by pickup truck for free, as long as they provide adequate covering. To learn more about this site, visit http://www.rvra.net.

Meet Tena Helton
Assistant Professor,
- B.A. English, conc. Education: North Carolina State University
- M.A. English, conc. Education: North Carolina State University
- Ph.D. American Literature, conc. Women's and Gender Studies: Louisiana State University
Research interests:
- Antebellum American literature and culture, literature and culture of the American south, theories of location and region, gender studies, and genre theory.
- I'm married and have three children. I love photographing my kids. I also like to camp and hike and play racquetball whenever I get the chance.
Dr. Tena Helton with her kids.
Major project underway:
- Currently I'm working on a cultural study of Black Hawk's life. I'm also working on a book about genre and culture in the early nineteenth century in America. There are lots of other little ones.
Learning philosophy:
- Students should take responsibility for their own learning, but also be responsible citizens within and outside of the classroom. As human beings, we all have a responsibility to help one another survive and thrive. I want students to realize that we're all in this together–that it's not them reading and writing and turning things in to me and me saying "oh I can see that you read things and wrote things so I'll give you an A or C or whatever," I would rather us discuss things and make them real for one another. I mean we're talking about 200 years of history. We really need to come together and be responsible to one another. Also, I don't want the classroom to be the only place where things happen. I want students to go out of the classroom and try to enact the things we tackle in the classroom regarding ethics or morals. So, if you learn something from Thoreau and you really want to talk about it and we have a great discussion in class, then when you leave class, go out into the community and enact what you learned.
Advice for prospective students:
- Come to school prepared to work on skills and to accumulate knowledge, but understand that we are educating whole persons, and not simply teaching job skills. Also, try not to think of your teachers as "them." We are all in this together.
