LITTLE ROCK (AP) — The eldest child of the 19 Duggar children has landed a lobbying job in Washington.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports Friday that 25-year-old Josh Duggar will serve as the executive director of FRC Action, the lobbying arm of the conservative Family Research Council.

Cortech GX Air3 Gloves Reviewby Phil McDonald - verified purchaser
I've got four 4 hour rides on these gloves now and it's as if they disappear. The fit is perfect, if a bit small so I'm glad I ordered the xl. Dexterity is quite good with these and I even took pictures while wearing them. Each ride involved a fair amount of rocky roads and single track on a 400lb bike (DR650) so there was a bit of wrangling here and there and the gloves are holding up fine. The stitch work is precise with no loose threads or skipped areas. I haven't used them in extreme heat or wet conditions yet so can't comment on this yet but goatskin is the best leather for dealing with sweat and water in my experience.

Think your voice won't be heard? Don't tell that to the three teens from New Jersey who fought to get a woman to moderate a presidential debate.
The New York Daily News reports CNN's chief political correspondent and State of the Union host Candy Crowley has been named the moderator for the October 16 commander-in-chief face-off—the first woman to have that role in two decades.
"More than ever, I really believe in the American value that anyone can get something done," Emma Axelrod, 16, one of the girls who started a petition to get a woman involved, tells the newspaper. "We are just three 16-year-old girls, and the fact that we actually got the Commission on Presidential Debates to do this just makes me so proud to be an American."
PBS NewsHour host Jim Lehrer and Bob Schieffer of CBS News will also host debates, according to the Daily News, and ABC News's Martha Raddatz is set to moderate the vice-presidential debate.
The commission isn't saying the girls' petition had anything to do with the selection of Crowley, but we certainly think they deserve some extra credit for their efforts.

Government contract could get extended and total $140 million. [© krishnacreations - Fotolia.com]
Tekmira Pharmaceuticals received a contract that could total $140 million to develop an RNAi therapeutic for Ebola virus infection. The project, supported by the DoD Chemical and Biological Defense Program, will leverage the company's lipid nanoparticle technology called SNALP (stable nucleic acid-lipid particle).More than 15% of the estimated value of this award will be subcontracted to U.S. businesses. Tekmira has a U.S. affiliate based in Washington called Protiva USA.
Under the initial phase of the contract, which is funded as part of the Transformational Medical Technologies (TMT) program, Tekmira is eligible to receive up to $34.7 million over the next three years. The focus will be on preclinical development, IND filing, and completion of a Phase I trial.
TMT has the option of extending the contract to support the advancement of the Ebola SNALP product through clinical development and FDA approval. This would provide Tekmira with up to $105.3 million.
"This work builds on our recently published research, where we reported that Ebola SNALP could confer complete protection to nonhuman primates from a lethal dose of Ebola virus," Mark J. Murray, Ph.D., Tekmira's president and CEO.
In May the company working in collaboration with the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases published data in The Lancet describing the antiviral activity of an siRNA in SNALP targeting the Ebola virus.
When used to treat previously infected nonhuman primates, Ebola SNALP resulted in 100% protection from an otherwise lethal dose of Zaire Ebola virus, as reported in the paper titled "Post exposure protection of nonhuman primates against a lethal Ebola virus challenge with RNA interference: a proof of concept study."
Tekmira explains that its SNALP encapsulates siRNAs with high efficiency in uniform lipid nanoparticles, which are safe and effective in delivering RNAi therapeutics to disease sites in numerous preclinical models. SNALP formulations comprise several lipid components that can be adjusted to suit the specific application and are manufactured by a proprietary method, which is robust, scalable, and highly reproducible, the firm adds.

The University of Pennsylvania's historic football stadium has hosted the best in collegiate and professional competition for most of the century. Originally opened in 1895 (at a cost of $100,000) for the first running of the Penn Relays, the stadium was rebuilt in 1922 in its present form. Franklin Field, deemed by the NCAA as the oldest stadium still operating for football games, has been the site of the nation's first scoreboard (1895), the nation's first two-tiered stadium (1922), the first football radio broadcast (WIP, 1922), the first football telecast (PhilCo, 1939) and Vince Lombardi's only NFL playoff loss (1960).
The Army-Navy series moved to Franklin Field in 1899 and in 1925, Red Grange set an NCAA record with 331 rushing yards as Illinois owned Penn. During the 1930's and 1940's, Penn led the nation in attendance for several years as crowds often numbered as many as 80,000. Today, the newly refurbished stadium seats 52,593.
SprinTurf, a next-generation rubber-infill artificial surface, was installed in 2004. The state-of-the-art scoreboard and videoboard keep fans well-informed of the action on the field and track. Franklin Field has also been the home of the Philadelphia Eagles and has hosted the Historic Penn Relays for over 100 years.

Oregon OSHA, 350 Winter Street NE Room 430, Salem, Oregon 97301-3878
For immediate release:

Melanie Mesaros, Public Information Officer
North Bend electrical contractor earns safety recognition
Reese Electric joins SHARP
(Salem) – Oregon OSHA welcomes Reese Electric in North Bend as the latest employer in the Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP).
SHARP provides an incentive for Oregon employers to work with their employees to find and correct hazards, develop and implement effective safety and health programs, and continuously improve. The ultimate goal of SHARP is to encourage employers to become self-sufficient in managing workplace safety and health issues. Currently, about 65 employer locations in Oregon participate in SHARP, in addition to approximately 100 facilities that have graduated from the program.
Reese Electric is an electrical contractor offering industrial, commercial, and residential services. The company also does network communications systems, automation and control, lighting upgrades, and other service work. The company employs 28 full-time workers in North Bend and three in a Bandon branch.
"Gaining SHARP recognition has been quite a process and helped us focus on safety in all areas – not just project sites, but right here at our home offices and shops," said owner Randy Rema. "All of our employees are proud of the role they have played in earning this recognition and work every day to maintain it."
Participation in SHARP does not eliminate regulatory enforcement, although SHARP participants do receive a limited exemption from programmed inspections. Employees retain all workplace safety and health rights contained in the Oregon Safe Employment Act. Oregon employers that have been in business for more than one year are eligible to apply for SHARP regardless of size or type of business.
Oregon OSHA, a division of the Department of Consumer and Business Services, enforces the state's workplace safety and health rules and works to improve workplace safety and health for all Oregon workers. For more information, go to www.orosha.org.
The Department of Consumer and Business Services is Oregon's largest business regulatory and consumer protection agency. For more information, go to www.dcbs.oregon.gov.

Eddingpharm continued to aggressively build its product portfolio by inking another cancer agreement, this time with Immutep. In this latest agreement, Eddingpharm was granted exclusive rights to develop and market ImmuFact® IMP321 in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. Immutep will provide full technical support for the development of IMP321, a LAG-3Ig fusion protein that has completed a Phase I/II trial combined with chemotherapy in first-line metastatic breast cancer. Immutep and Eddingpharm plan to develop the product for breast cancer as well as other first-line metastatic indications.
"We have been very impressed by the dynamic and innovative approach of Eddingpharm, and believe them to have the capability of driving the development of IMP321 in China," said John Hawken, CEO. "Immutep is continuing the development of IMP321 in Europe and the USA."
Founded in 2001, Eddingpharm is actively collaborating with companies to introduce new products into China's pharmaceutical market. The company reports that it has built up a competitive product portfolio and pipeline in the four major therapeutic areas: medical nutrition, oncology, anti-infective, and respiratory.
Last month, it entered into a licensing, development, and commercialization agreement with Syndax Pharmaceuticals for exclusive rights to develop, market, and sell entinostat, which targets advanced, treatment-resistant cancers, in China and certain other Asian countries/regions.
In April, it entered into a collaboration with GlaxoSmithKline wherein it obtained the exclusive right in mainland China to import, market, promote, distribute, and sell Tykerb, a treatment for advanced or metastatic breast cancer that was recently approved by the China State Food and Drug Administration.
Also in April, Eddingpharm and Chiesi Farmaceutici entered into a joint venture agreement to establish Chiesi Edding Hong Kong Limited. Chiesi Edding will leverage the marketing platform of Eddingpharm to facilitate the commercialization of the two key products of Chiesi Farmaceutici in the respiratory therapeutic area in China.

More to Go on the Downside
Traders greeted the news of Obama's re-election with bearish pressure. We saw heavy selling in areas of the market that are viewed to be on the wrong side of the Obama agenda, such as coal and defense. We also saw heavy pressure on dividend-producing names as traders start pricing in expectations for significant tax hikes on dividend income.
The weakness on Wednesday wasn't enough to move the needle for our indicators in a significant way. In other words, we expect to see selling pressure continue until our indicators "clear" and reach an oversold extreme. ...404 more words left in this article.

Pan Dulce
Published Nov 13, 2006 - (Updated Dec 12, 2012)
The first war between Mexico and France took place in the 1830s and is commonly known as the Guerra de los Pasteles, or Cake War. A group of ungrateful patrons at a successful French bakery in Mexico City allegedly racked up a huge cake bill and then left the establishment without paying. Curiously enough, this is hardly a coincidence, for Mexico largely owes its rich bread and pastry heritage to French pioneers who settled here after Mexico's independence from Spain a decade earlier.
Many of the traditional recipes remain unchanged to this day. The names of the different breads, however, can vary according to each region's vernacular. Regardless, few can resist the sweet aromas that emanate from a panadería, or bakery, when bread just comes out of the oven. Enjoy yours for breakfast or for a merienda, or supper, with hot Mexican chocolate, coffee or a tall glass of milk.

The One-Armed Bandit
Do you prefer a roll of the dice or maybe a pull of a lever when it comes to your gambling vices? Chances are it's the latter. According to the Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Authority, 71% of tourists who gamble play some type of slot, while the remaining 29% prefer the tables. Slot machines account for 65% of the gambling winnings at Nevada casinos so it's no secret to why they dominate the casino floor of any resort, including ours.
Feeling nostalgic for the days when slot machines spit out actual coins? Our Director of Slots, Mark Seligman has seen it all and then some. We sat down with him to talk about how the slot world is changing and what's up and coming on our very own casino floor.
Where do you see the future of slots?
With a different generation comes a different player. Today's new gamer never learned video poker, so they tend to play more video slots. The average video poker player is about 40-60 years old. The penny slots trend has continued to grow in the slot world for the last ten years now. At the end of the year 2009 there were 37,943 penny slots alone in Nevada casinos, attracting $17.8 billion in wagers. In our own casino here at M, we have 1,180 penny slots.
Do you think players miss the one-armed bandits?
There's a very small segment of our older customers that prefer traditional reel slots versus video slots, which is why we keep a section of them on our floor. Even with today's technology, some of the most advanced slot machines still have an arm on their side. Some people still prefer the pull of a handle to the push of a button.
How do you stay on top of and ahead of the curve with it comes to slot trends?
At times it's as basic as a guessing game. You have to look at new themes and know what will work in your casino. You take into account the type of players you get and what they currently like playing. Slot companies will do studies on test bank slots, but at the end of the day it's what the guests like. It's always best to buy a few of a certain theme and buy more if it gains popularity.
What makes a good slot machine?
All that matters is how many of our guests like the machine. What might be a good slot at another casino might not be the right fit for ours. We want to have what our players are interested in playing.
How do you pick slots for us at M?
Trends come and go, which is why slot floors are constantly changing at every casino. When it comes to picking brand new slots in the industry, most of the time it comes down to gut instincts. It's not always scientific; it's about what's popular.
What's new with the slots at M?
In 2011 we added 300 new video slots most of which were new penny slot themes. By doing this it helps us keep our casino floor fresh with new and cutting-edge games. It's all about staying ahead of the curve.
Why do you think people are divided - either slot player or table games players?
A player's gambling preference in this aspect is based on comfort. Table games players tend to feel more in control of their money and slots/video poker players come for the entertainment and value not necessarily for the thrill. But, in the end they're both gamblers.
If you're wondering how Mark got such a cool job (picking slots for a casino and all) he actually started off studying airplanes and aviation. What slot does Mark fancy most? He says he's more of a video poker player.
With over 1,900 slot machines on our floor you'll find a wide variety of video poker, video reels, video keno and reel spinners all for your playing enjoyment. What's your favorite slot machine?

Rated 4 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 4 out of 5 by KateN2Tzus Has the WoW Factor I have a darker and plain entryway that required a statement piece to reflect some light. I looked and looked for a contemporary yet timeless fit for this space. This mirror is more than perfect. Looks as though it cost 3 times the price I paid. Only complaint I have is that I expected dark gray tones with some beige accents. The colors here are dark browns and deep camel tones. Still works great with my color scheme. I highly recommend if you are looking for a statement mirror. May 15, 2012

The Ron Paul and Gary Johnson Factor
January 5th, 2012 9:13 pm | by Marc Gallagher | Published in Election, Gary Johnson, Liberty, Maven Commentary, Politics, Polling, Ron Paul, War | 37 Responses
With Ron Paul still pushing for the GOP nomination and Gary Johnson running as a Libertarian it begs a question. I've written at length about how I firmly believe that Ron Paul would beat Obama in a general election; however, what about Gary Johnson? No, I don't think he'd win, but there are likely many Ron Paul supporters who would vote for Johnson over Obama or the GOP nominee. So if that is true it suggests another reason why, if you want nothing more than to defeat Obama, Ron Paul should be your choice for the GOP nomination.
But is it true? What percentage could Gary Johnson receive should Paul not get the GOP nomination and would it be enough to help re-elect Barack Obama? I suspect it is. To add more fuel to this fire Obama is starting to campaign as an anti-war president to difference himself from the GOP field of likely nominees. This "Campaigner-In-Chief" move could be completely stymied by Republicans making Ron Paul their nominee. Who would be the real anti-war candidate if it were a Ron "non-interventionist" Paul vs Barack "drone bomber" Obama contest? This is yet another reason to make Paul the nominee.
Let's see what you think about the Ron Paul and Gary Johnson factor.

What album did you like better? Think it's about tied to me, but F&L holds a special place. haha!
Food & Liquor or The Cool
What album did you like better? Think it's about tied to me, but F&L holds a special place. haha!
Forum category:
I like both-- I can listen to them constantly and they don't lose their value. BUT, F & L was my first hip-hop album ever!! So it has to be my fav just because it introduced me to such a great world (I was a late bloomer don't judge me lol.)
i would have to say Food & Liquor was better than The Cool because F&L seems more mellow & well put together; its a classic to me, one of my fav cd's of all time... while The Cool is exactly that,,, cool : not great not bad, but ok
Food and Liquor just because it was when I was first getting into Lupe, and I remember how excited I was with every song. By the Cool I had already known Lupe was a killer, and although he far exceeded my expectations, nothing can match my amazement on F&L.
It's a very close call, I think I lean more to the F&L side though. The Cool was still one of my favorite albums of all time though.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The problem may seem larger than life today, but the answer is about as small as life can get. Focus on the one step you can take in the moment to move yourself forward.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Stamina is one of your natural gifts, but you still have to do a bit of planning to get to the end of a race. You'll plot out milestones that will keep you accountable and motivated along the way.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You usually do not try to gain control over others until it is obvious that someone is spinning out and can use the redirection. Your leadership will be wanted and needed this afternoon.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Everyone just wants to feel better, including you. You're in a good place, so you're willing to do the hard work that will make this happen instead of going for a quick fix.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It's your instinct to use the element of surprise to entertain others. You'll reply to the usual questions in unusual ways. In your book, it's a sin to be generic and boring.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When you have a lot on your mind, as you do right now, you appreciate the kind of sensitive and bright people who tend toward brief interactions that get right to the point.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Morality can seem complex, but here's a simple truth: There is a difference between wanting to do what's right and being afraid of the repercussions that could happen if you do what's wrong.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Have you ever forgotten a password? The business of creating codes can be tricky. The answers that seem perfectly obvious in the moment may prove difficult to recall. All is saved by writing things down.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your self-definition is constantly changing these days. Because you crave expansion and are forever growing your knowledge and influence, challenge is essential to your happiness.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You've walked the fine line between determination and obsession before, so you're familiar with today's ultra-focused state of mind. Frequent breaks will help you maintain a healthy perspective.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your overactive sense of duty may have you working on projects that are not likely to forward your own interests directly or immediately, but you'll never regret fulfilling your obligations.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You can't decide where you want to live today. You'll bounce between Earth and ethereal realms of thought and feeling. All of this movement is highly creative. Record what you come up with.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 6). You'll form your own theories from the rushing stream of information and ideas that flows your way this month. Experiment in June. A breakthrough in the early stages will be followed by a new source of funding that opens up in July. Someone who appeals to your tender heart will win your loyalty in September. Aries and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 50, 36, 28 and 16.

Men In Blue Are A Little Black
To set the scene: Earlier in the day, with Armando Galarraga of the Detroit Tigers just one out away from pitching a perfect game against the Cleveland Indians, umpire Jim Joyce blew a call at first base that broke everything up (the runner was clearly out, as indicated by the instant replay). As of this time, Commissioner Bud Selig is refusing to overturn the call and give Galarraga his perfecto, despite an admission of guilt from Joyce.
Then, the Twins-Mariners game last night transpires as follows:
Kevin Slowey and Cliff Lee lock up in a magnificent pitching duel, with the score tied at 1-1 heading into the bottom of the tenth inning. With runners on first and second and two outs, Ichiro Suzuki hits a slow roller up the middle that Matt Tolbert adeptly smothers and flips to JJ Hardy for what looks to be the final out of the inning. However, despite the fact that replays show the ball beat the runner to the bag, the runner was called safe and, by that time, the lead baserunner had already wheeled around third and scored easily:
Two blown calls that cost their respective players/teams potentially dearly. In Galarraga's case, he will likely never approach a perfect game if he pitches for 20 more seasons. The Twins, on the other hand, know first-hand the importance of a single game (we've played in two consecutive 163-game seasons) on the standings. I can see the kind of tough position this puts Bud Selig in, and thus can understand why he is hesitant to overturn the Tigers call (as wouldn't that be valuing individual achievement over team victories?).
Let's just hope that this sort of fiasco leads to the introduction of instant replay into MLB as early as next season (or even this postseason in full-fledged form). Football purists (if such a group exists) argued against instant replay for the same reasons that baseball purists (a much larger group) argue against it today (undermines umps, slows down the game, etc.). However, replay has now become an established part of the NFL, and the league is (at least in my opinion) much better off for it, as getting the call on the field correct is the ultimate goal. It should be the same in baseball as well.
Preview (31-22, 1st, 3.0 GA DET): Carl Pavano (5-5, 3.99) vs. Felix Hernandez (2-4, 3.50)

Climate Emergency Institute
- Date submitted: 1 Nov 2011
- Stakeholder type: Major Group
- Name: Climate Emergency Institute
- Submission Document: Download
Full SubmissionThe Climate Emergency Institute respectfully makes this submission to the 2012 Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development. By all environmental and economic indications, it looks like this UN sustainable development conference is our best chance to prevent the collapse of all human civilization, for all time. What are the expectations for the outcome of Rio+20, and what are the concrete proposals in this regard, including views on a possible structure of the Outcome document? Our hopes and expectations are as follows. In general, we expect that: 1. All governments will affirm that our Mother Earth (Mother Nature), the community of Earth species, and the future survival of humanity are our most sacred trusts. 2. Nations will acknowledge that a state of global environmental emergency exists due to accelerating atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations, and that fasterthan-projected climate change impacts are coming on top of other ongoing global environmental degradations. 3. Nations will agree that our best hope for survival is the rapid and full implementation of the intentions and terms of the 1992 Rio Earth Summit conventions and agreements. We have no time to "reinvent this wheel." 4. Environmentally destructive subsidies (both direct and indirect) will be stopped forthwith. Direct fossil fuel subsidies will be switched to rapid development of clean, zero-carbon energy. 5. Nations will acknowledge that the loss of the Arctic summer sea ice is potentially catastrophic to the northern hemisphere and to the planet, through loss of albedo cooling on top of committed* further global warming. *The global temperature increase to which we are already committed today is 2.4�C, according to the climate science (Ramanathan and Feng, 2008, PNAS, On avoiding dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system). This projection excludes inevitable further warming by large Arctic carbon feedback emissions and excludes the warming from loss of Arctic summer sea ice. On the global climate change emergency, we expect that: 6. Nations will acknowledge that today's committed additional global warming, accelerating atmospheric greenhouse gas Pollution, and unprecedented and still accelerating atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations mean that the climate situation is "far beyond dangerous interference with the climate system" and risks global climate catastrophe.
. "Climate change is coming at us faster, with larger impacts and bigger risks, than even most climate scientists expected as recently as a few years ago."
. "The stated goal of the UNFCCC ? avoiding dangerous anthropogenic interference in the climate ? is in fact unattainable, because today we are already experiencing dangerous anthropogenic interference. The real question now is whether we can still avoid catastrophic anthropogenic interference in climate."
. "There is no guarantee that catastrophe can be avoided even if we start taking serious evasive action immediately."
? Dr. John Holdren (now science adviser to the US administration), Meeting the Climate Change Challenge Lecture, 2006, Woods Hole. 7. Nations will agree that the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide must be reduced to below 350 ppm of CO2 (versus 390 ppm today), with equivalent reductions of the concentrations of other long lasting greenhouse gases to avoid global climate catastrophe. 8. Nations will acknowledge that the science is definite**, and that only zero carbon dioxide emissions can possibly allow the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration to drop. **IPCC 2007 WG 1: Frequently Asked Question 10.3 If Emissions of Greenhouse Gases are Reduced, How Quickly Do Their Concentrations in the Atmosphere Decrease? "While more than half of the CO2 emitted is currently removed from the atmosphere within a century, some fraction (about 20%) of emitted CO2 remains in the atmosphere for many millennia. In fact, only in the case of essentially complete elimination of emissions can the atmospheric concentration of CO2 ultimately be stabilised at a constant level." Our comments on existing proposals for sustainable development: We applaud the exemplary work of UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on the global climate emergency and the great work of the United Nations Environment Program on educating humanity on the rapidly deteriorating state of our planet. We believe that the economic conversion to sustainable development, as defined by the 1992 UN Rio Declaration and comprehensively planned by Agenda 21, is the best if not only chance we now have for our common survival. We attach in poster format our latest State of the Climate Science, showing that, as UNEP has said, "the potential for runaway greenhouse warming is real and has never been more clear." ? UNEP Year Book, 2009. (For all we know, it may already be too late.) We attach our report on committed food productivity losses that will result from today's committed global warming and climate change, which shows catastrophic losses for huge human populations and losses for all regions. Our views on implementation: The economic and energy conversions demanded by the global climate change planetary emergency are also the measures needed to achieve the objectives of the green economy and poverty eradication. The only way to implement these in short order (or likely at all) is by nations implementing in full the extant agreements that nations made at the 1992 Earth Summit. On specific cooperation mechanisms: It has to be recognized that the survival of all populations (of all species, hence crucial biodiversity) living in all regions is now threatened by the rapidly increasing risk of global ecological and world economic collapse. If all nations agree to move to a green ZERO-CARBON economy as rapidly as possible, then the "level playing field" of one global goal and commitment will enable and enhance international cooperation rather than competition. On the relevant time frame: We are all in a planetary emergency with no time left for anything but emergency action. Background The proposals are good but they all need to be implemented on a global emergency basis. The international negotiations under the 1992 UN Framework Convention on Climate Change are making no substantive progress. It is therefore essential that global climate change be placed at the top of the 2012 Rio+20 agenda. In 2007 nations acknowledged the following findings by the UNEP GEO-4 consensus process: "There are no major issues raised in Our Common Future for which the foreseeable trends are favourable. And, this may threaten humanity's very survival.""Climate change is a global priority, yet there is a remarkable lack of urgency and a woefully inadequate global response." "The need couldn't be more urgent and the time couldn't be more opportune, with our enhanced understanding of the challenges we face, to act now to safeguard our own survival and that of future generations." "The systemic destruction of the Earth's natural and nature-based resources has reached a point where ? the bill we hand on to our children may prove impossible to pay." The 1992 UN Framework Convention on Climate Change is an excellent convention. The clear intention of the UNFCCC is the reduction of global greenhouse gas emissions to ensure climate safety for all future generations. Climate safety is clearly and specifically defined in the Convention. In 2012, nations must affirm that they are unconditionally bound by the intention of the Convention to prevent irreversible climate change damages (adverse effects) to global ecosystems and to regional managed agricultural systems. They must affirm that they are required to prevent damages (adverse effects) to human population health. The 1992 Agenda 21 is the "UN blueprint" that nations agreed to and no better plan exists. Nations are expected to reaffirm and make Agenda 21 a binding obligation and a rapid priority. Everything in Agenda 21 still applies today ? in fact, even much more so.

Princeton Splits H-Y-P Weekend, Looks Forward To Final Push Towards Ivies
COMPLETE RESULTS l FRIDAY RECAP
A Senior Day victory for Jillian Altenburger and an impressive win in the weekend finale by the 400 free relay squad were the Saturday highlights for a Princeton women's swimming and diving team that split its annual HYP weekend.
Princeton moved to 5-1 on the season by defeating Yale 197-103 and falling 199-99 to unbeaten Harvard. The Crimson wrapped up the league dual meet title with the win, but the Orange and Black will still have something to say when the Ivy League Championships come to Denunzio Pool (Feb. 28-March 2).
"Suzanne, Greg and I are extremely proud of the team effort this weekend," said head coach Susan Teeter, who has led Princeton to 10 of the last 13 Ivy League titles. "We knew this would be a monumental challenge with the training we have been doing and the focus we have on the end of the season.
"Our swimmers who were rested for the end of the season swims were amazing," Teeter added. "Our Ivy team had great races in practice suits against stiff competition. We look forward to hosting Ivy Championships in three weeks and having an opportunity to race in our home pool."
During its final home session of the regular season, Princeton honored the senior members of all three teams Saturday afternoon. Altenburger made the day even more special with an impressive win in the 500. Her time of 4:49.57 topped the field by more than half a second. She and classmate Carter Stephens, one of the team co-captains, joined junior Lisa Boyce and freshman Nikki Larson in winning the 400 free relay in 3:25.55, more than a second faster than the rest of the field.
Fellow co-captain Kathy Qu was part of a top-three finish in the 400 free relay. She anchored a quartet that included freshmen Megan Lydzinski, Mallory Remick and Elizabeth McDonald in 3:27.23.
Boyce and junior Laura Slater both had top-five finishes in the 100 free, with Boyce taking fourth in 50.85. Slater was just behind, taking fifth in 51.53.
The Tiger freshman duo of Sada Stewart (2:01.41) and Beverly Nguyen (2:03.91) took fifth and seventh, respectively, in the 200 back. Sophomores Cara Slear (2:18.46) and Emily Yu (2:19.13) followed with fourth- and fifth-place finishes in the 200 breast.
Qu, Larson and Stephens all had strong showings in the 100 fly, with Qu taking fourth in 55.00. Larson ended fifth in 55.43, while Stephens took sixth in 55.75.
Freshman Helen Zitkovsky finished a strong weekend with a second straight Top 3 finish in the diving events. She took third with 254.30 points in the 1-meter competition, while junior Randi Brown placed fifth with 243.85 points.
Nguyen and Stewart both had top-five finishes in the 200 IM. Nguyen finished fourth in 2:04.97, which topped classmate Stewart by one-hundreth of a second. Junior Rebecca Lewinson added a seventh-place finish in 2:07.25.
Princeton will complete its regular season this Friday when it heads to Columbia Friday afternoon for a 2 pm showdown.

|Vandals can't hang on
MISSOULA, Mont. - The Idaho women's basketball team couldn't hang on to a double-digit second half lead in its third game in four days, falling 69-64 to Tennessee State in its final game at the Lady Griz Classic in Missoula, Mont.
The Vandals (1-6) led by 13 points at 28-15 with six and a half minutes to play in the first half, but Tennessee State chipped away, and eventually tied the game at 53-all with just under eight minutes to play. The Vandals briefly regained the lead on a 3-pointer from Christina Salvatore with 4:37 to play, but TSU's Jasmin Shuler answered with a 3-pointer of her own and the Tigers led the rest of the way.
With both teams grabbing 50 rebounds and shooting similar percentages from the field, Idaho 33 percent and TSU 34 percent, the biggest difference in the game was turnovers. The Vandals gave the ball away 14 times in the game, while Tennessee State had just seven turnovers and TSU out-scored Idaho 14-9 in points off turnovers.
Tennessee State also out-scored Idaho 18-9 in second-chance points and 38-26 in the paint. After connecting on 4-of-10 3-point attempts in the first half, Idaho went just 3-of-16 from long range in the second, finishing the game at 27 percent from 3-point distance.
The Vandals jumped out to a fast start, taking a 12-2 lead, and stayed ahead by double figures for a majority of the first half. Idaho led 30-19 with 3:23 remaining in the first when the Tigers went on a 7-0 run to close the half, cutting Idaho's lead to four at 30-26.
The Vandals built their lead back to 10 points and 46-36 with 13 minutes to play, but Tennessee State used a 10-2 run to take the lead and the momentum at the end.
Three Vandals scored a team-high 12 points for Idaho, including Alyssa Charlston, Christina Salvatore and Stacey Barr. Charlston had her second double-double of the season adding a game-high 15 rebounds in the contest. Krissy Karr finished with five points, six rebounds and seven assists for Idaho, with just one turnover. Ali Forde also chipped in with six rebounds for the Vandals.
Two Tennessee State players had double-doubles in the game as Simone Hopes finished with 16 points and 11 rebounds while Kesi Hess added 15 points and 12 boards.
Idaho returns to action with a pair of games in California next week, visiting UC Irvin and UC Riverside on Dec. 5 and 7.

ZF-3160: Nesting calls to Zend_View_Helper_Action renders content from inner call twice.
Nesting a call to Zend_View_Helper_Action in a call to Zend_View_Helper_Action will render the inner call twice, once before the outer call and once within it (as it should be).
In layout:<?php echo $this->action('get', 'sidebar'); ?>
That renders a view script with the following code:
The viewscript returned in <?php echo $this->action('partner', 'email'); ?> is displayed both above
div class="sidebar"> and within it.
If the viewscript contains the same thing, but does not echo the partner/email action (<?php $this->action('partner', 'email'); ?>), it still is rendered above
div class="sidebar">, but no longer inside it.
The latter scenario should not render it at all.
Assigning to Ralph and scheduling for next mini release; may be fixed in trunk already.
Adam - you have the same issue I reported in the linked bug report (2808). I've offered a fix but there are other issues to consider as well. but to fix your problem quickly see my comments.
adding $this->resetObjects();
in the
class Zend_View_Helper_Action public function action($action, $controller, $module = null, array $params = array()) class Zend_View_Helper_Action
just before return seems to solve this issue

Low maintenance vacation hair was the topic over at Little Boogaweezin last week, did you happen to catch it? Talking about keeping my hair super low maintenance when I'm on vacation is an important topic for me because I like to spend my travel time enjoying where I am and not in the bathroom styling my hair! I also find that I laze by the pool until the last possible second which leaves little time to primp before racing to a dinner reservation!!!
I hope you'll click through and have a peek! And it would be fantastic if you would let me know in the comments what you do with your hair when you're on vacation! Do you spend a lot of time styling or do you keep it simple too?

All Scosha pieces are intricate works of art and are designed, crafted, and shipped from under one roof. Ancient techniques are still used in by Scosha to fuse metals and gems in her collections.
Launching her eponymous jewellery line in 2007 in Brooklyn, Scosha was selling her designs long before her move to New York, at a night-market in the sand dunes of Northern Brazil. Scosha is about the connection: between people, to one's ideals, to a special place, to a memory, to wit.

Jewellery Adjustments We want every piece to be a perfect fit for your body, so if you require any adjustments to your chosen new item, such as a longer chain, or an altered ring size, then please contact us at one of our stores. Many adjustments can be carried out for you in a relatively short space of time. More complex adjustments or repairs may need to be returned to individual jewellery designers and this may take a little longer. Unfortunately, due to the unique nature of our collections we cannot guarantee that all items can be adjusted, but we will endeavour to help you in any way that we can.
Ring Size Chart Most of our jewellery designers offer a standard size for their rings, a UK size M which is equivalent to an US size 6. We offer a resizing service free of charge* for the purchase of rings by our fine jewellery designers. We cannot, however, offer ring resizing on costume pieces and some fashion design rings. To measure your finger for a ring size, take a piece of string and wrap it around the base of the finger. Use a pen to mark the point where the string overlaps, then measure the distance between these two points in millimetres to give you the circumference measurement of your finger. Finally, use our ring size conversion chart to calculate your correct ring size according to several different systems. Any good jeweller should also be able to measure your ring size for you.

You can use Snap to maximize a window, which makes it easier to focus on that window because of less distraction from other open windows.
Drag the title bar of the window to the top of the screen. The window's outline expands to fill the screen.
Release the window to expand it to fill the entire desktop.
To return the window to its original size, drag the title bar of the window away from the top of the screen.
If you use multiple monitors, you can drag a maximized window from one monitor to the other.
Other ways to maximize an open window:
Double-click the top of an open window just below the top edge. To restore a maximized window to its original size, double-click the top of the window again.
On the taskbar, press Shift and right-click a taskbar button or a preview of an open window, and then click Maximize.
Snap might not work on some programs that have custom window behaviors.

A commanding stage presence is an essential element of the rock and roll spectacle. Beyond captivating audiences with their music, artists from Abba to ZZ Top have projected their quirks, singular identities and personas via unique stage costumes. Some artists' costume choices are icons to themselves – think Michael Jackson's gilded glove or Elvis Presley's bejeweled jumpsuit. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, is home to many of these iconic costumes and ground-breaking designs. Here are some of our favorites, which you can see when visiting the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum!
David Bowie's Suit, 1972 / Design by Freddie Burretti
David Bowie's breakthrough came with The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1972), a thoroughly modern album that promulgated the notion of rock star as space alien. Bowie melded rock with theater, creating the provocative character and alter ego "Ziggy Stardust." Bowie wore his lightning-bolt emblazoned suit onstage during his tour to support the album.
The Supremes' Dresses, 1969 / Design by Bob Mackie

In this exclusive interview with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, author, musician and .38 Special founding member and guitarist Jeff Carlisi shares his thoughts on legendary guitarist and Hall of Fame inductee Jimi Hendrix, including seeing Jimi Hendrix live in 1968.
"I actually saw Jimi Hendrix, and I still have photographs, I was a school photographer. I guess it was 1968 in Jacksonville, Florida. I don't remember anything about it. I look at the pictures, and I don't even remember being there, but I remember I had to see this guy because I remember sitting next to my grandmother's radio in Boston, Massachusetts, waiting all night long to hear this song that my cousin told me about, "Purple Haze." He couldn't describe it to me. I said, 'What does it sound like?' I had been playing guitar for a while and he said 'it was like nothing you've ever heard.' Finally it comes on and it was like, 'Oh my God -- you're kidding me.'
"Hendrix was a brilliant guitar player in the sense that he didn't play guitar -- guitar was his paintbrush. It was an extension of his mind. You could ...
In this exclusive Rock and Roll Hall of Fame interview with Hall of Fame Inductee Graham Nash, the musician talks about his experience getting high with Jimi Hendrix at a Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention concert, looking for Rolling Stones member Brian Jones.
"Jimi Hendrix and I once went to the Royal Albert Hall to see Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention. During the intermission, we spotted Brian Jones up in one of the boxes, and we wanted to go and get high with Brian. So, we got up from our seats, and we started to move along the seats and a spotlight found us. Now, quite frankly we were both on acid, so this bright light hitting us in the face when we thought that we were invisible was quite shocking to us, but we managed to make it all the way to Brian, to the box that Brian was in, and we managed to get higher than we were."
Over the course of a short career that only lasted a little more than five years, the Doors had a tremendous impact on rock and roll. They were a truly unique group, with a singer, Jim Morrison, who was a genuine poet with an almost mythical persona. Unlike most bands at the time, the Doors did not have a bass player. Ray Manzarek played the bass lines on his keyboards. John Densmore was a solid, steady drummer. And Robby Krieger was an elegant guitarist with a distinctive style unlike the blues-based guitar leanings favored by most his six-string peers. 20 years after being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993, Robby Krieger sits down for an exclusive interview with the Rock Hall, reflecting on the passing of friend and bandmate Ray Manzarek, patching up differences with John Densmore, the Doors' greatest moments, where the Doors would've gone had Jim Morrison lived, Jimi Hendrix, the Rolling Stones, what he's listening to now and more.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: First, let's talk about Ray Manzarek's death…. Did you see that coming? Had he been sick for a while?
Robby Krieger: Not really ...
Rarely does a performer debut as a fully formed artist. The Jimi Hendrix Experience's appearance at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival instantly secured the group's reputation – and that of its hyper charismatic frontman – as the most incendiary in rock and roll and made a legend of Hendrix.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum will open its latest featured exhibit, Common Ground: The Music Festival Experience on Friday, April 25, 2014. The exhibition will be an engaging look at the music festival as more than just an outdoor concert, but as a community experience. Whether it's forging human bonds, building a sense of community, providing broad exposure for musical artists or as one of the most important economic engines of the music industry, the story of the music festival is inextricably linked with music's powerful cultural impact around the globe. Visit Common Ground: The Music Festival Experience to immerse yourself in this story.

After shaking the nation with his performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Woodstock in 1969, rock legend and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee, Jimi Hendrix, will now be honored by the United States Postal Service (USPS). Hendrix is joining Lydia Mendoza, Johnny Cash and Ray Charles in the USPS' music icon stamp series on Thursday, March 13, 2014.
The debut of the stamp will be at the South by Southwest (SXSW) conference at Butler Park in Austin, Texas, featuring a special all-star unveiling concert. This Jimi Hendrix celebration will include performances by Hall of Fame Inductees Slash and Robby Krieger of the Doors, as well as the MC5's Wayne Kramer and Paul McCartney's longtime guitarist Rusty Anderson, Dave and Phil Alvin of the Blasters and others.
In what's shaping up to be a big year for Hendrix fans, the stamp announcement comes alongside new Jimi Hendrix presence at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio. The Museum recently acquired a handful of new Jimi Hendrix artifacts to add to its already abundant Jimi Hendrix exhibit, including various outfits, shirts and his purple "applejack" style suede cap. One of the outfits ...

It only takes one song to start a rock revolution. That trigger, in late 1991, was "Smells Like Teen Spirit," an exhilarating blast of punk-rock confrontation by Nirvana, a scruffy trio from Seattle. "Teen Spirit," its moshpit-party video and Nirvana's kinetic live shows propelled their second album, Nevermind, to Number One and turned singer-guitarist-songwriter Kurt Cobain into the voice and conscience of an alternative-rock nation sick of hair metal and the conservative grip of the Reagan-Bush '80s. Founded by Cobain and bassist Krist Novoselic in the logging town of Aberdeen, Washington, Nirvana were underground stars when they made 1989's Bleach with drummer Chad Channing. Moving from the indie Sub Pop label to Geffen, the band – with drummer Dave Grohl – packed Cobain's corrosive riffs, emotionally acute writing and twin passions for the Beatles and post-punk bands like the Melvins and the Pixies into Nevermind. A multi-platinum seller, it included the hits "Come As You Are" and "Lithium" and opened the mainstream gates for Green Day, Pearl Jam and Smashing Pumpkins. In 1993, Nirvana released the caustic masterpiece, In Utero, and gave a historic performance on MTV's Unplugged. But in April 1994, Cobain – suffering from drug addiction and ...


text: I found a couple quickloads for a similar round, 1.850" case length, 2.350" C.O.A.L. based off of 30-06 brass. The 300gr .44 xtp was going around 2200fps at 60kpsi. IDK if you want to push them that hard in an ak, maybe drop the psi down a bit since the bolt thrust would be more than the x39. The pressure graph on them was in time which makes the pressure spike seem more gentle/vs the more useful barrel length which is good for port placement. Look at other big bores built on the ak action and you should get a good idea on where to place the gas port.

There's not too much flavor variation going on during Valentine's Day. Usually it's all Cherry or the occasional Strrawberry since everything candy-wise is red colored this time of year. For some variation, I am giving the Brach's Cinnamon Jelly Hearts a try.
The bag smells intensly of cinnamon and the candies are really cute. They're hear shaped, about the circumference of a nickel and about half an inch high. They are firm to the touch and aren't very spongy like some gummis are. These remind me much more of gumdrops.
The flavor is sweet and has a hint of heat to it on my first bite. The two kinda play in my mouth, neither gaining dominance until the end where it gets slightly hotter, but never into the "too spicy" zone. These aren't as powerful as Red Hots thankfully, so folks like myself who can't take "hot" candies too terribly well. Instead these are a nice mix of the intense cinnamon flavor with some sweetness to make it more friendly. The texture is nice too, as it's a ick heavy chew wihtout being sticky. You barely notice the granulated sugar coating.
I was prepared to really not like these, as hot cinnamon candies aren't my thing. I was surprised that I did like them. I can easily see these as cupcake toppers, as they're gorgeous to look at. If you like cinnamon candies, I'd seek these out. It's a great option for Valentine Day candy if you aren't a fan of cherry.

ZF-3568: Zend_Translate options 'separator' it is not an option ever more.... now this option should be 'delimeter'
Documentation states:
The standard separator for CSV string is the ';' sign. But it has not to be that sign. With the option 'separator' you can decide to use another separator sign.
According to the actual "code", this word has changed to 'delimeter' but not updated in documentation.
This has already be changed two weeks ago with r9745. The new manual will be available with the new release. So please be patient.
ooops!, sorry. Thanks!

Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign
The Stephen Lewis Foundation launched the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign in March 2006, in response to the emerging crisis faced by African grandmothers as they struggled to care for millions of children orphaned by AIDS. The Campaign aims to raise awareness, build solidarity and mobilize support in Canada for Africa's grandmothers.
The Campaign has since evolved into a dynamic and responsive national movement, and currently boasts more than 240 grandmothers groups across the country. Many of the groups have organized into regional and national networks in order to support each other's development and fundraising.
Funds from the Grandmothers Campaign go to African grassroots organizations working with grandmothers and the children in their care in partnership with the Stephen Lewis Foundation (SLF). The SLF collaborates with grassroots groups who support grandmothers' immediate needs such as: nutritious food, health care, transportation, home visits, adequate housing and bedding, school fees, uniforms and supplies for orphans – and longer-term needs such as parenting and business skills, micro-credit grants, bereavement counselling, HIV awareness training, testing and grandmother support groups.
