Green Economy and Sustainable Development:
Bringing Back the Social
UNRISD submission to the UNCSD, 1 November 2011
Social dimensions have consistently received least attention in the triad of issues that define sustainable development. The achievement of the core development goals of poverty reduction, equity and justice require that ecological, economic and social dimensions are rebalanced.
Any transition to a sustainable and equitable green economy will require restructuring patterns of production, consumption and distribution. Social dimensions are critical in driving this transformation.
1. Social dimensions of green economy are not add‐ons, but are central to achieving sustainable development. Bringing social dimensions more centrally into ?green economy? requires recognizing the role of:
? Social contestation
? Social impacts and distributional consequences
? Social policy
? Social institutions and governance
? Social action
? Social alternatives
2. Transition to a sustainable and equitable ?green economy? will require transforming patterns of inequality, exclusion, knowledge and power, accompanied by policies to protect and compensate those adversely affected.
3. Currently, policies that address social dimensions tend to focus, first, on issues of protection and compensation of those negatively affected by certain processes of change, and second, on attaining co‐benefits between the three spheres of sustainable development.
4. A third set of social dimensions has received less attention. Social processes related to governance, participation, inclusion, empowerment, mobilization, regulation, knowledge and rights?are key determinants and drivers of sustainability. Policies should also address this third level, as this is the catalyst for transformation that must underpin a fair transition towards sustainable development.
Social dimensions of green economy
By linking green economy with the broader goals of sustainable development and poverty eradication, the importance of social dimensions of development has been acknowledged. But there is often a tendency to focus narrowly on particular social dimensions and to ignore others, or to focus on a ?wish list? of groups, issues, processes and outcomes that need attention. Addressing the social dimensions is either (i) seen largely as a means to achieve other economic or environmental goals, or (ii) is called on to protect or compensate individuals or groups from the negative consequences of other economic or environmental policies. This has resulted in the social dimensions of sustainable development being considered as an instrumental ?add‐on? to development policy.
A just transition to a sustainable and equitable ?green economy? needs to go beyond this. It must promote the transformation of social structures, institutions and relations that underpin and reproduce vulnerability, poverty and persistent inequalities (in production, consumption, and the distribution and redistribution of resources and power). Centering social dimensions in green economy requires that governments and other development actors address this transformational dimension. The following social dimensions are central for all areas of policy design and implementation that relate to sustainable development:
1. Social contestation: Green economy concepts, approaches and policies are contested by a wide range of social actors (states, businesses, civil society, individuals or groups), each with different access to power and resources. Who can take advantage of new opportunities, whose voices are represented, who exercises power and who participates in policy decisions in turn affects framing, design and implementation.
2. Unintended and unfair social impacts and distributional consequences reflect the fact that there may be winners and losers. This requires new metrics and better measurement of social impacts.
3. Social policy (both social and eco‐social) has a crucial role in a green economy transition, given its multiple functions related to employment, protection, human capital, redistribution, and care/social reproduction.
4. Social institutions and governance: Social relations (including class, gender and ethnicity) and other geographical and historical divides underpin inequality. Key in transforming such relations and ensuring that markets are socially embedded are rights‐based approaches and active citizenship associated with participatory governance, decentralization, social accountability and regulation (by states and other social actors in the public interest), building social capital, and working with local knowledge and value systems.
5. Social action: The organization and mobilization of disadvantaged groups, as well as broad‐based coalitions, alliances and compromises between diverse social actors , are important in determining whether (and how) a green economy transition achieves its goals of inclusion, equality, poverty eradication and sustainability.
6. Social alternatives conducive to well‐being, economic development and sustainability do exist and need to be acknowledged and supported.
Addressing the social dimensions: A policy framework
Public policy and action to address social issues in a green economy transition can be categorized in three (overlapping) sets of interventions. These aim to:
a. Protect and compensate individuals and groups negatively affected by climate or environmental change, or by the consequences of a green economy transition;
b. Facilitate complementarities or the co‐production of benefits between economic, social and environmental outcomes; and
c. Facilitate or support transformative social processes that will drive change towards new patterns of production and consumption while improving well‐being, strengthening rights and participation, empowering individuals and communities, and ensuring a fair distribution of power and resources.
While all types of policy approach are necessary, analysts, governments and private actors currently focus most attention on the top 2 tiers (a, b) to the exclusion of the third (c) tier. But without attention to (c), the social underpinnings of inequality, poverty and unsustainable development will not be addressed. Fortunately a number of examples provide positive lessons for policy makers and practitioners on how the 3 levels can be joined‐up (see pages 6 ? 8).
Policy and Practice ? what works?
(a) In the development field, social dimensions are frequently associated with specific problems that require attention?often as consequences of environmental, economic or policy change. Such issues are often defined in relation to categories of people?the poor; those considered vulnerable by reason of age, gender, location or ethnicity; those likely to be affected most directly by climate change (often overlapping categories with the above); or those likely to be disadvantaged by transitions to green economy (e.g. workers in ?dirty? industries). Responses are then framed as protection or compensation of individuals or groups to overcome the adverse impacts of processes or policies, or as adaptation to enable the most vulnerable to (e.g. poor households) to better respond to or manage environmental or climate related risks. Examples of such interventions include:
? Social assistance programmes for vulnerable groups, including (conditional or unconditional) cash transfer programmes, or other (in‐kind) transfers or safety nets;
? Efforts to support employment, productivity and income generation (possibly linked to adaptation efforts), including productive safety net programmes (as in Ethiopia) and India?s Rural Employment Guarantee programme (NREGA).
While these interventions will remain critical sources of support for poor households, they need to be complemented by other interventions (below). Alone, they represent an approach to social issues as ?add‐ons? to other policies designed to achieve the ?core? economic and environmental goals, and are at high risk of being cut if resources are constrained. These are responses that need to be accompanied by more transformative approaches.
(b) Social dimensions may also be defined in instrumental terms?social goals, policies or interventions are introduced to complement or provide co‐benefits between the so‐called ?primary? goals or objectives of economic or environmental development. These ?win‐win? policies make the link between achieving successes in one policy area with addressing barriers and/or negative consequences in another. It is in this context that we often hear of the need for ?policy coherence?. Examples include:
? Linking climate and employment via green (and decent) jobs, such as in the renewable energy or clean waste sectors;
? Incentives/ disincentives for green consumption and production, while compensating for negative impacts of such policies; e.g. green energy rebates and green/carbon taxes
? Market incentives/ disincentives to conserve global environmental commons, e.g. Payment for Ecosystem services (PES) and Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) schemes
? Eco‐social policy, e.g. energy‐efficient housing design for state welfare housing;
? Regulation via voluntary standards and corporate social responsibility (CSR), e.g. Fair and ethical trade standards.
(c) A third more comprehensive and transformative approach to social dimensions would be concerned with the ?drivers? of change, including:
? Behaviours of individuals, communities, businesses/corporations, or other actors (societal, state or market) that can reinforce problems or deliver solutions; or
? Institutions, governance arrangements, knowledge and power relations that underpin such behaviour and can empower people, as individuals or as collective groups, to achieve social change.
Beyond policy instruments to influence producer and consumer behaviour, transforming institutional arrangements and processes will be central to a fair and equitable transition. Key issues include the need to redress existing inequalities; the guarantee of rights; the promotion of participatory governance and the empowerment of people in ways that can alter economic and social relations between key actors ‐ states, business and civil society. Furthermore, diverse solutions and alternatives exist; their articulation and scaling‐up provide lessons for moving towards more inclusive, sustainable development. Some of these, such as social and solidarity economy projects and livelihood or resource management systems, have demonstrated the possibility of real co‐benefits between economic, social and environmental objectives, and often involve the empowerment of otherwise marginalized voices.
For ?green economy? to also become ?green society?, public action?including economic and social policies, as well as the collective mobilization of citizens?must focus not only on outcomes, but on the transformative processes that will shape, enable or constrain its achievement. This will require attention to:
? Power inequalities and the (re)distribution of power and resources;
? The role of the state vs market mechanisms in regulating nature and society;
? The inclusion and legitimation of diverse forms of knowledge, livelihood strategies, and cultures;
? Governance, rights, participation and empowerment of a wider range of actors.
Policies to mitigate negative consequences or construct win‐win outcomes are often constrained by their failure to engage with wider social processes and institutions. Those that succeed often owe their success to attention to such factors as: the (re)distribution of costs, benefits, power and resources; the recognition of diverse cultures and forms of knowledge; improved and participatory governance processes, including laws, regulation and accountability of business actors; and the mobilization of different social actors to advocate for social change at local, national and global levels.
The following examples illustrate how these factors might be combined in order to achieve poverty eradication in tandem with environmental and economic sustainability.
India: ?Scheduled Tribes and other forest dwellers (Recognition of Rights) Act of 2006? and the ?Draft National Land Acquisition and Rehabilitation and Resettlement Bill?.
India?s rapid growth has often not translated into rural economic growth or gains for the rural poor. Negative social consequences of the development pattern include lack of jobs and livelihoods, and the displacement of people from forests, land and natural habitats. Two state policies aim to address these consequences for marginalized and displaced peoples. This case study reveals the context‐specific challenges in achieving this.
The Recognition of Rights Act recognizes rights to forest dwelling Scheduled Tribes and other traditional forest dwellers who have been residing in such forests for generations ? by granting primary power to determine forest rights to the village assembly.
The Draft National Land Acquisition and Rehabilitation and Resettlement Bill focuses on land acquisition processes and compensation for land acquired for projects such as hydro‐electric dams. This facilitates acquiring commons land for infrastructure development.
Unfortunately, implementation of these policies has at times contradicted the needs and knowledges of forest dwellers in India. In the state of Sikkim, the valuation of land, commons, rivers and ponds as economic commodities contrasts with the nature‐based spiritual beliefs of the region?s tribal people, and has compromised people?s rights by threatening spiritual and holy places. In Orissa state, forest assemblies have often not been adequately consulted, and so the most marginalized have not participated in decision‐ making nor influenced policy choices.
In India, instead of mitigating negative impacts of green growth, these policies have been poorly implemented and have exacerbated inequalities, exclusion and conflict. In this case study, protective measures on their own were not adequate to redistribute social impacts. ‐Research conducted by P. Banerjee and A. Sood
Brazil: ?Ara�uai Sustent�vel?, a learning and agricultural programme implemented by the Centro Popular de Cultura y Desenvolvimiento (CPCD).
Ara�uai Sustent�vel aims to reverse environmental degradation and boost the role of agriculture in the local economy, so that the poor can live comfortable and independent lives without having to migrate for employment. It addresses the negative consequences of development?such as poverty, illiteracy, landlessness?as a form of marginalisation and lack of citizenship (i.e. social capital), not lack of natural capital.
The programme combines literacy training with a nature conservation programme. It includes a demonstration farm based on the principles of agroecology and permaculture, which produces 28 tons of food per month and demonstrates water conservation, rainwater roof catchment, intensive horticulture, and composting, as well as training and social mobilisation.
The project?s success is rooted in local knowledge. For example, CPCD has organised workshops during which women exchange recipes to make herbal remedies, soap and a range of preserved foods, thus recovering much local knowledge through events that build on what people in the community know. Poverty reduction is based on valorising what is already present in a community, not what is lacking, a very different approach from other aid or state agencies.
The project has been so successful that it has been scaled‐up to the regional level, and has led to a well‐developed network of paved roads, rural electrification, water distribution, a new market, and a regional transport system.
This example illustrates that addressing social drivers of inequality and valuing diverse knowledges can have successful outcomes for green economy and sustainable development.

Bangladesh: Green jobs in the off‐grid solar energy industry
In Bangladesh, investment is flowing into rural off‐grid renewable energy programs, creating a large number of ?green jobs? that aim to preserve or restore the environment while also being decent, inclusive and gender‐sensitive. Since the off‐grid solar industry began in 1996 more than 800,000 off‐grid solar home systems have been installed and 60,000 jobs have been established, including many for disadvantaged rural women.
Co‐benefits between green jobs and social outcomes include increased energy efficiency of buildings, shifting employment opportunities to green industries, and a net gain on the job market. The role of rural electrification in alleviating poverty has also shown improvements in health, living standards, household incomes, productivity, employment opportunities for women, and in general, more jobs. In Bangladesh, a driving factor has been the link with microcredit financing by Grameen Shakti, a subsidiary of the Grameen Bank.
However, although improving livelihoods and extending the benefits of electrification are related, most rural electrification programs measure economic and employment impacts of electricity, not of the ?green? industry itself. The social dimensions of the jobs created, such as the total number of jobs, the types and quality of jobs, payments, gender, entrepreneurship, labour conditions and working hours are not well understood. The social impacts of the shift from public to private solutions are also unclear.
This case shows how green economy policies that focus on some interconnections (i.e. links between employment, energy, technology and financing) but exclude other social issues?such as gender, labour conditions and well‐being?fall short on delivering equity, poverty eradication and social justice.

UK: Incentives and disincentives for green consumption, ?Transition Towns?
Green consumption policies can be win‐win policies ? generating finance, shifting production, mitigating climate change, and improving participatory governance or ?green citizenship?. Incentives and disincentives (e.g. carbon taxes on goods and services) can raise resources that communities and governments can use to drive locally‐appropriate sustainability actions.
In the UK, the ?Transition Town? movement has been described as ?the fastest‐growing social movement in the UK?; there are currently over 344 in the UK and 859 internationally. It aims to find alternative solutions to peak oil, promote locally based and organic consumerism, and become self‐sufficient in energy provision. Complementarities include developing public infrastructure, local currencies, community allotments and car shares to help people transition from a reliance on fossil fuels and consumerism. Transition Towns emphasize autonomous organisation at the local level and deliver local services focused on tackling climate change.
Despite some challenges in scaling‐up transition towns, they do demonstrate innovative ways to raise resources for climate change that put people at the centre of achieving structural change. To work well, incentives need to be permanent; transparent; accompanied by information; packaged differently according to different groups; flexible and locally relevant; support growth in the voluntary sector; and support the functioning of community groups.
By generating funds through consumption policies such as incentives and disincentives, and using participatory political channels for their disbursement, consumerism can directly feed into strengthening local capacities to devise and implement local initiatives and address climate change.

Amazonas, Brazil: Success and constraints for REDD+ and PES, ?Bolsa Floresta?
PES and REDD+ schemes address drivers of ecologically destructive behaviours through market mechanisms, enabling individuals and communities to be financially rewarded for reducing emissions from deforestation, forest degradation and enhancement of carbon stock.
PES/REDD+ policies can have significant economic, environmental and social co‐benefits, including improving community livelihoods, conserving biodiversity and protecting water resources. They have received growing investment from a range of actors including the private sector, national governments, multilateral organisations, environmental groups and grassroots actors.
There are also many challenges: the lack of legal frameworks for financing, investment, property rights; the unequal nature of multi‐stakeholder consultation, private sector influence, decentralised governance, and community participation in decision‐making; recognition of indigenous peoples? substantive and procedural rights and free, prior and informed consent; distribution and achievement of poverty reduction and social justice.
?Bolsa Floresta? exemplifies these tensions. The project is home to 370 families and comprises 589,612 hectares of forest, with hopes to expand to 6,500 families, ten million hectares and 13 protected areas. It is the largest tropical forest REDD/PES programme in the world, and may generate 171 million tonnes of CO2 credits by 2050. Protective policies and incentives modelled on conditional cash transfers (?Bolsa Familia?) have been largely successful. But, there is growing discontent from different actors around power and decision‐making.
This tension is not limited to Bolsa Floresta, but generally underpins the broader contestation that currently holds. up global climate change negotiations around REDD+.

Worldwide: La Via Campesina, peasant movement for food sovereignty
?La Via Campesina? is an international movement engaging with climate change as part of a broader strategy of transformation (i.e. policy/action type c). It involves 200 million peasants, small and medium‐size farmers, landless people, women, indigenous people, migrants and agricultural workers, and includes >150 local and national organizations in 70 countries. The movement is driven by communities who are directly engaged in local livelihood struggles?largely small farmers and farmers? organizations?and is an autonomous, pluralist and multicultural movement, independent from any political, economic or other affiliation.
La Via Campesina calls for the transformation of food production and consumption systems to achieve social and ecological goals. They reject the role of financial markets and transnational corporations and demand government action, particularly in redistribution and policy intervention. They see their members (and society in general) as drivers of change who are entitled to participation, voice, rights, information and choice. The main goal is to realize food sovereignty?the conviction that small farmers, including fisher‐folk, pastoralists and indigenous people, are capable of producing food for their communities and feeding the world in a sustainable and healthy way. Via Campesina has influenced global food and agricultural debates in the FAO and the UN Human Rights Council, and food sovereignty has been recognized as necessary by the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food and the International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology for Development.
This example illustrates that (i) empowerment and collective action are key drivers for structural change, and (ii) these networks have developed a strong analytical capacity so that local thinking can connect with global processes.

Holley made lasting impression on lives he touched
Published: Monday, May 20, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.

Jack Holley, who died Monday at age 74, leaves behind a legacy without peer to the legions of lives he touched.
Jack Holley bio
Born: Aug. 15, 1938, Ashton in Pender County; moved to New Hanover County at age 3
High School: 1957 New Hanover graduate played on four state championship squads in three different sports: football, baseball and basketball
Football coaching record: 412-96-9 (N.C. all-time wins leader)
Record by school (over 44 seasons): Wallace-Rose Hill (2 stints) 178-28; Tabor City (stints) 157-41-8; Hallsboro 17-4-1; South Columbus 30-16; Harrells 30-7
State titles: 1 – 2008 NCISAA championship at Harrells Academy
Honors: 2007 induction in the Greater Wilmington Sports Hall of Fame; 1998 Guilford College Hall of Fame
Photo Galleries
The longtime football coach in Southeastern North Carolina lived life fearlessly and on his own terms, and was a pillar of strength, the latter of which his family exhibited in abundance in his final days, according to friend and coaching protégé Joey Price.
Everyone knew Holley also frowned on crying – one of many traits he inherited from father Bill, who refused to shed tears.
The elder Holley spoke his mind and didn't care what others thought as long as he believed he was right. As a truck driver, Bill favored a union, to the chagrin of some. After expressing his opinion and refusing to relent, he was fired.
"That made a lasting impression on me,'' Holley once said. "He was very honest.''
Holley lived his life with the same sincerity.
He groomed countless coaches, including Price, who was his defensive coordinator at South Columbus before succeeding him with the Stallions. Although not an immediate successor, Price also took over in 2009 as Wallace-Rose Hill Bulldogs coach – two years after Holley tried to retire as a football coach. Holley eventually returned to coach Harrells Christian Academy before declining health forced him to retire in 2011 after a state-record 412 wins.
"It is not a bad thing to follow him,'' Price said. "The discipline and things he stood for in the weight room made it a lot easier.''
Price and Holley talked at least once a week, golfed and went to clinics together.
"I am going to miss that,'' Price said.
Jake Fonvielle, the current football coach and athletic director at South Columbus, also will miss Holley's nuggets of wisdom. Fonvielle played for Holley at South Columbus and considered him a role model who helped shape his coaching philosophy and family life.
"He has helped with whatever life has to challenge,'' Fonvielle said. "He molded me into doing the things like I am supposed to do them. The best way to describe him is the total package.
"He is a great coach, great person, husband and father. He had a special way of doing it. He had a way he set out to do things and never strayed from it. He wanted you to be yourself and do the things you say you are going to do. He is a great example for everybody and he touched a lot of people's lives.''
Giving, getting knowledge
In 48 total seasons on the sidelines, Holley kept decades of playbooks and 16-millimeter film reels.
Coaches copied his systems and he willfully passed his reservoir of knowledge to others. He introduced the Delaware Wing T into local football, an offense numerous teams now operate in an effort to level the playing field against more-athletic teams.
"At the 1A-2A level we coach at, you are going to take ordinary kids and you have to do extraordinary things with them and you have to be able to do it consistently,'' Fonvielle said. "You have to put them in a system where they have a competitive advantage every time they step on the field. That is what he always did as a coach.
"He didn't always run the Wing T before it evolved, but he always ran the types of offenses that always gave a smaller line and kids an advantage, even competing against the better and bigger teams.''
Holley also is regarded as the first prep coach in the state to use weight training.
Shortly after breaking in as head coach in 1964 at Tabor City High School, Holley invited Roman Gabriel, his former teammate at New Hanover, to demonstrate the weight training methods of the Los Angeles Rams, the NFL team he quarterbacked at the time.
During the visit, Gabriel realized Holley's training methods were ahead of their time, although somewhat primitive.
"He had his linemen running with a rope around their waist with four by four lumber attached,'' Gabriel said. "As a result, Jack's guys were like bumble bees – they stung you.''
Holley picked up weight training from a teammate at Guilford College. Holley immediately noticed he became stronger and faster. For the Quakers, he played fullback two seasons, interrupted by a two-year military stint, and switched to the offensive line upon return. He also played baseball.
But, he was born to coach.
At Guilford, with no eligibility left, Holley became a student football assistant.
"You always knew he was going to be a winner,'' said Herb Appenzenheller, Holley's college football coach. "He had the ability to run the right offense and he was just tenacious in all he did.
"I knew he was going to be a great success because he had all the determination to succeed. He also was kind of a mentor for a lot of young players and he also was always true to his principles and beliefs.''

Food & Wine Education Award
Francis Fecteau
Look at the list: If you see Latour, Carol Shelton, Saracina and Jeriko on the wine list, then Francis has been here.
It's not easy to be a wine broker in Utah. It takes a combination of diplomacy, hucksterism and sheer hard-headedness to simultaneously deal with the all-powerful Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverages, independent restaurant owners and winemakers. You have to be a teacher and mentor, educating wineries about Utah laws, educating restaurant owners about little-known wineries and educating Utahns about wine. Few have devoted themselves to raising Utah's wine IQ with more passion than Francis Fecteau, owner of Libation, Inc. Besides teaching classes and holding tastings, he has hosted many in Utah's food community at his "wine camps," where chefs, servers, restaurant owners and writers experience winemaking hands on. libation-online.com
Best Wine List
Tipple this: Carmins del Priorat, a reasonably priced blend of garnacha, carignane, cabernet sauvignon and syrah.
The authenticity of a cuisine lies in more than just ingredients; there's a cultural philosophy and attitude towards food that is typical of its origins. So the food at Finca is about the spirit of Spain, not a Disney-style re-creation of clichés. But the wine is purely Spanish. Scott Evans has developed a wine list that showcases the best Spain has to offer, region by region, including traditional wines but also the freshest in Spanish wine styles, made by winemakers like Alvaro Palacios, who play in the old terroir with new ideas. 1291 S. 1100 East, SLC, 801-487-0699

During a trip to Los Angeles this past summer I visited Nina, with the sweet company of Cybele, at the Century City farmers market where I was finally able to taste her offerings. Let's just say they were everything I heard about and then some. I bought a few to take home with me, only to have them mangled on the trip home and therefore unworthy to review. When I saw there was a limited edition Pumpkin Pie flavor released for a few months this fall, I knew I had to put an order in. So I am very excited to review these bars for you, my readers.
Malt Bar: "Creamy Malt Ganache & Crunchy Shortbread" I got one of each the dark and milk chocolate variety. The flavors and textures in the compliment each other beautifully. The shortbread is crunchy and extremely buttery. The ganache is smooth and has an incredible richness to it. The flavor is very sophisticated, as none of the elements are overpowering. The flavor is very chocolatey, lightly malty, buttery…..essentially a little bit of heaven. These were gone in a flash.
As far as the milk/dark chocolate difference, the milk tastes much less chocolately than the dark and isn't any sweeter. So it really depends on which you prefer.
Orange Bar: "Orange Caramel & Pecan Nougat topped with Candied Orange Peel" The flavor is sweet, but like the Malt bar, it's not too much. The orange flavor in the thick, chewy caramel dominates and it's really a bright, fresh, authentic flavor. You don't really taste the nougat as it just delivers a nice fluffy texture. The pecans I hardly really notice; I get a piece every now and then which are fresh and flavorful. The best part of this bar is biting a section with the candied orange that's placed on top. It elevated the whole orange flavor and really adds a great extra chewy texture to the whole bar.
Pumpkin Pie Bar: "Warm with spices and rich with chocolate, our limited edition Pumpkin Pie Bar evokes the spirit of the holiday season. We place a Spiced Pumpkin Caramel atop a Graham Cracker Crust, and enrobe it with Dark Chocolate" Oh, this bar is yummy! Too bad it's a limited edition too, I wish I could get these all year. The star of this bar is the graham cracker crust on the bottom. It adds a wonderful crunch and a flavorful base for the squash and spice flavors to build upon. The jist of the taste is definitely fall with it's very warm effect of the flavor. I would have liked a stronger presence of the pumpkin, but that's most likely just me, as I'm obsessed with squashes of all types. I bought three of these bars and they were the first to go. Everyone I shared them with agreed that they were out of this world.
These bars are lovely and I could continue to gush about them, but it's best to keep things succinct. They run at $5 a bar, which is a fair price in my mind considering how fresh and flavorful they are. They'd be an awesome gift, whether it's for yourself or for a special someone. BonBon bars are indeed a wonderful gourmet treat, and one I plan to get my hands on again very soon.

While many of you are aware of the forthcoming sequester on March 1, which may result in furloughs within the ranks of 2.1 million federal employees, you may not be aware of how this might affect your food. According to Daniel Werfel, a controller for the Office of Management and Budget, it might result in reduced food inspections by the Department of Agriculture. Not that these guys do such a wonderful job in the first place, but this seems like a really bad idea considering that food fraud was already up 60% last year. From CNN:
At Thursday's hearing, Werfel said agencies might not be able to avoid furloughs that would reduce essential services. At the Agriculture Department, for example, it's not possible to avoid furloughs that would result in fewer food inspections, because most of the agency's expenses are the salaries and benefits of people who perform those tasks.
"So it becomes a math issue, ultimately," he said. "This is one of the very tangible and clear and significant impacts of sequester: This division within USDA will not be able to make its core mission of sending the inspectors to these locations."
The exact number of total furloughs planned is still unavailable, since agencies are still deciding how to spread the cuts. It's possible some agencies may yet be able to spare some employees from furloughs or at least minimize days of unpaid leave.

The Park City construction industry in September enjoyed its best month of the year, boosted by another series of permits for alterations and additions, the Building Department said.
According to the department, permits valued at a little more than $8.5 million combined were issued in September. In the same month the year before, a little less than $2.9 million worth of permits was issued.
September was the second consecutive solid month. The department in August issued permits worth a little less than $6.4 million combined.
The year-to-date figure in 2012 is significantly outpacing the number in 2011. Through the end of September, the department had tallied approximately $42.2 million worth of permits. Through the same period in 2011, the number sat at $29.8 million.
Two seven-figure permits were issued in September. One, valued at a little more than $2.7 million, was for an addition at 692 Main St. The other was pegged at $1.8 million for an addition at 12 Oak Court.
Alterations and additions have had an outsized impact on the construction numbers in years since the recession as property owners decided to fix up or add to existing structures instead of building new ones. Permits for alterations and additions, though, typically are not as valuable as those for new structures.
Alterations and additions in September accounted for 79.1 percent of the overall valuation for the month.
The department issued one permit for a single family home and one permit for a duplex.
The number of electrical, plumbing and mechanical permits climbed from the previous month and the previous September.
The Building Department reported a daily inspection average of 72 in September, about the same as the previous month but down sharply from the 141 each day in the previous September.
The numbers through the end of September are likely encouraging to the construction industry as it appears there could be a strong end to the building year given the figures in September and in August.
But the tally continues to trail significantly the numbers posted in the years between the 2002 Winter Olympics and the onset of the recession. The industry posted a series of record-setting years in that period.
The recession struck at a time when the numbers were expected to level off anyway as the number of significant development sites inside Park City dwindled.

Enterprise Desktop Support
Lifecycle Policy
VMware will offer support for a specified number of years from the general availability of a new Major Release subject to the Support and Subscription Terms and Conditions.
Product Specific Policies
|General Support (from General Availability)
|Technical Guidance (from end of General Support)
|Additional Policy Details
|VMware App Volumes
|2 years
|1 year
|VMware Horizon Application Manager
|3 years
|2 years
VMware Horizon DaaS on Prem Platform
VMware Horizon DaaS Bundle
|2 years
|1 years
|Bugs and security issues will be addressed for the last two minor releases of a supported major version.
|VMware Horizon FLEX Server
|18 months
|1 year
|VMware Horizon Mobile
|3 years
|2 years
|VMware Horizon View and (VMware View)
|5 years
|2 years
|Support periods are defined for releases of the View Connection Server. Most View Clients are versioned and shipped separately from View Connection Server releases, and are only supported under the terms of the server releases they are compatible with. While a server release is within its general support phase, new versions of existing clients will maintain backward compatibility with that supported server release. However it should be noted that features in newer releases will not be supported with older versions. The intent is to maintain the basic functionality of the oldest version without breaking compatibility.
|VMware Mirage
|3 years
|2 years
|VMware ThinApp
|3 years
|2 years
|VMware User Environment Manager
|2 years
|1 year
|VMware Workspace Portal
|3 years
|2 years
|Starting with version 2.1, VMware has extended the general support phase for Workspace Portal to 3 years from a major release and the technical guidance phase to 2 years.
Q: Has General Support for View 4.6 been extended?
A: Yes. Under the previous lifecycle policy, General Support for View 4 (including View 4.6) ended in November, 2012, (3 years after the General Availability of View 4.0). The lifecycle policy effective July 2012 has been retroactively applied to View 4, so its General Support phase has been extended to November 2014. VMware will continue to provide 4.6.x maintenance releases as needed up until that point. Two years of Technical Guidance will follow General Support, as per the current policy.
Q: How will fixes/updates be distributed for View Clients?
A: Critical bug or security fixes for Clients will only be supplied via an update to the latest Client version; it should be noted that some Clients are only available through device-specific App-Stores, and maintenance of older client versions on such devices is impossible.
Q: Will all the features of a new client release be available when running it against an older server version?
A: No. When an existing client is updated to a new version, it will remain compatible with older server versions that are still within the General Support phase. However, new client features may be disabled while connected to an older server. For example, a client that is updated while VMware View 5.1 is available will still work with a server from VMware View 4.6, but a feature that was newly introduced in VMware View 5.1 will not necessarily be expressed in the client.
Q: When a new client type is first made available, will it be compatible with older server versions?
A: Server backward compatibility for new client types is provided at VMware's discretion. When a brand new client type is released, it will be compatible with the latest shipping server version. VMware will not necessarily support running that new client against older server releases. For example, assume a brand new kind of tablet device (not iOS nor Android based) was released by a hardware vendor; if VMware created a brand new client type for the new device while VMware View 5.1 was available, client compatibility would be supported against VMware View 5.1, but not necessarily VMware View 5.0 or VMware View 4.6 versions.
Q: When a new minor release comes out, how long with updates continue to be shipped for the preceding version?
A: Within the General Support phase, access to server, and guest OS updates, bug and security fixes will require a software update to the latest minor release version if said minor release has been generally available for more than 60 days. For example, if a critical bug is discovered in VMware View 5.0 and VMware View 5.1 has been available for more than 60 days, the fix for said bug will require an update to VMware View 5.1 or a subsequent 5.1.x maintenance release.
Q: How are minor and maintenance releases affected when General Support ends for their associated major release?
A: When General Support ends for a Major Release, it also ends for all Minor and Maintenance releases within that Major Release family. For example, VMware View 4.0 was released in November 2009. Under this policy, General Support for the VMware View 4 family ends in November 2014. As of July 2012, VMware View 4.6.x maintenance releases may still be supplied to address critical bug and security issues. However, as of November 2014, the entire VMware View 4 family will move from General Support to 2 years of Technical Guidance and no additional VMware View 4.6.x maintenance releases or 4.6.x derived hot-patches will be supplied.

ZF-11100: Zend_Cache_Frontend_File should check to see if file exists first
$mtime = @filemtime($masterFile); should detect if the file exists first.
Use case:
Deployment tools such as Capistrano create a new directory upon each deploy and then symlink to the latest deploy
for example current -> /var/www/website/releases/20110220101853/
Let's say we launch a new ec2 instance, which initiates a new deploy
current then points to a new dir, for example current -> /var/www/website/releases/20110220101860/
When the new instance is hit, the cache looks to a file that does not exist, and causes an error until we clear out the cache.
What it should do is, instead of just grabbing executing filemtime, is see if the file exists first. If the file does not exist, it should return false so the cache object repopulates it
fixed in r23792 (trunk) & r23793 (1.11 branch)
I'll close this issue next time because 1.11.4 was already tagged.

Full SubmissionContribution to the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development
Submitted by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development
The World Business Council for Sustainable
Development (WBCSD) is a partner in the Business
Action for Sustainable Development co coalition (BASD 2012). This submission complements and supports the submission of BASD 2012 to the Conference on Sustainable Development.
The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) has been an active and constructive participant in sustainable development efforts at the international level since the first Rio Summit in 1992. We are pleased to provide this submittal as our initial contribution to submittal the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20), and as a complement to the submission from the BASD 2012 coalition and the Business & Industry Major Gr Group.
The mission of the WBCSD is to provide business leadership as a catalyst for change toward sustainable development, and to support the business license to operate, innovate and grow in a world increasingly shaped by sustainable development issues. Through our participation in the Rio+20 process, we hope to stimulate action which reflects the urgency and the complexity of the challenges we are facing.
In 2010 we published the Vision 2050 a discussion paper which explored what a pathway 2050, would look like that would allow the world to reach t vision of ?9 billion people liv the living well, and within the limits of the planet?. The pathway proposed 9 key elements, and for each a measure ?. of success:
People?s Values - Sustainability embedded in all products and services & lifestyles
Human Development - Billions of people lifted out of poverty
Economy - Cost of carbon, water and other ecosystem services internalized
Agriculture - Agricultural output doubled through improved land and water productivity
Forests - Deforestation halted, carbon stocks in planted forests doubled from 2010 eforestation
, Energy and Power - C 2 emissions reduced by 50% worldwide (based on 2005 level) CO
Buildings - All new buildings use zero net energy
Mobility - Near universal access to reliable and low carbon mobility, infrastructure & information
Materials - Four-to-tenfold improvement in the eco-efficiency of resources and materials tenfold from 2000.
Making these changes ? and more ? will enable us to consume just over one planet?s worth of ecological resources in 2050, as opposed to the 2.3 planets we will be using if we continue on the business-as-usual path we are on today.
WBCSD strongly believe that the world already has the knowledge, Science, technologies, skills and financial resources needed to achieve Vision 2050 but the foundations for much of what is required will need to be laid at speed and scale in the next decade. At the same time, the map is far from complete. There are still many significant questions to be answered about governance, global frameworks for commerce, roles and responsibilities, and risks. Nevertheless, these can be answered in time for progress to be made.
In Rio in 1992, we saw a dramatic change in awareness of sustainable development issues. It is our hope that from Rio in 2012, we will see a dramatic change in the pace of efforts to address sustainable development issue.
About this submittal
This submittal, as a complement to the BASD 2012 coalition's submittal, addresses specific topic areas which WBCSD has identified as priority areas for Rio+20. A more complete catalog of our efforts related to sustainable development can be found at www.wbcsd.org. It is our hope that these components will be useful in the development of the Zero Draft of the Rio+20 outcome document.
About the WBCSD
The World Business Council for Sustainable Development is a CEO-led organization of forward-thinking companies that galvanizes the global business community to create a sustainable future for business, society and the environment. Together with its members, the council applies its respected thought leadership and effective advocacy to generate constructive solutions and take shared action. Leveraging its strong relationships with stakeholders as the leading advocate for business, the council helps drive debate and policy change in favor of sustainable development solutions.
The WBCSD provides a forum for its 200 member companies - who represent all business sectors, all continents and a combined revenue of more than $7 trillion - to share best practices on sustainable development issues and to develop innovative tools that change the status quo. The Council also benefits from a network of 60 national and regional business councils and partner organizations, a majority of which are based in developing countries.
This submission is released in the name of the WBCSD. Like other WBCSD publications, it is the result of a collaborative effort by members of the secretariat and executives from several member companies. A wide range of members reviewed drafts, thereby ensuring that the submission broadly represents the majority view of the WBCSD membership. It does not mean, however, that every member company agrees with every word.

|Heartbreak! Vandals fall in OT
MOSCOW, Idaho – A game that included hundreds of yards came down to a matter of inches. For Idaho's Vandals, those inches translated to heartache as the University of Wyoming escaped the Kibbie Dome Saturday with a 40-37 overtime victory.
"It's more painful," said coach Robb Akey after the Vandals dropped to 0-4. "We're talking about inches. Literally inches. You can pick your opportunity. It's not just the last play of the game."
The last play was when Wyoming's Jalen Claiborne pulled in a 25-yard pass from Brett Smith on the Cowboys' overtime possession. The Vandals had scored when it was their turn on Trey Farquhar's 49-yard field goal – his third boot of the day, to set up Wyoming's chance from the 25.
It was that kind of day for the Vandals, who fought the good fight in putting up 506 yards total offense (their most since October 2010), only to have the Cowboys respond with timely big plays. In particular, after three lost fumbles by the Vandals.
"They took advantage of some mistakes we made," said senior receiver Mike Scott, who had eight catches for 79 yards. "It definitely hurts. It hurts us a little bit harder. It (the offensive numbers) looks and feels good but at the same time, that loss takes away from the joy of how good we look on paper."
In by far the best offensive outing for the Vandals in more than a year, Idaho put up 306 yards passing and covered 203 yards on the ground with senior Ryan Bass' 121 leading way. Quarterback Dominique Blackman completed 34 of 46 passes for the 306 yards and three touchdowns.
But both had turnovers that proved costly. Bass' was on the Vandals first possession when the ball came loose at the Idaho 31 and the Cowboys scored on four plays to take the 7-0 lead. Blackman's was at the start of the fourth quarter when he was trying to stretch the ball over the goal line only to have it pop loose into Ghaali Muhammad's hands. Smith connected on an 80-yard pass to Chris McNeill to tie the game at 27 a time when the Vandals were hoping to go up by two scores.
"Now it's inches – and in overtime," said Akey, noting the progress the Vandals have made. "Know this – I'm not saying for one second that makes things OK. Because it doesn't. We're getting ourselves closer. We're inches away. But that's not good enough either."
To go with the turnovers were a handful of penalties – five for 47 yards. But the timing often couldn't have been worse.
"We had some self-inflicted things that hurt us today," Akey said. "Hat's off to Wyoming – they made one more play than we did."
In addition to Bass' 121 yards, James Baker had 75 on 10 carries, while Najee Lovett matched Scott's eight catches with his totaling 73 yards. Defensively, Homer Mauga had nine total stops in addition to two tackles for loss, which includes one of the Vandals three sacks. QuayShawne Buckley had two sacks to figure into Idaho's total six tackles for loss. Tracy Carter's two pass breakups were a team best.

|Klas earns first career WAC weekly honor
DENVER - University of Idaho sophomore track and field athlete Jeremy Klas has been named Verizon Wireless Western Athletic Conference Men's Field Athlete of the Week for the week of Jan. 11-17 after his record-breaking performance at the WSU Open on Saturday.
Klas, a second-year vaulter from Moscow, Idaho (Moscow HS), joined teammates Lucas Pope and Mike Carpenter in clearing a school-record height of 5.10m (16-8.75) in the men's pole vault at the WSU Open on Saturday. Klas edged his fellow Vandals for first place in the event based on attempts.
Steve Ott's previous Idaho record of 5.09m (16-8.25) in the men's indoor pole vault had stood for 25 years, but Pope, Carpenter and Klas cleared it in consecutive attempts on Saturday. It was the second-oldest entry in the Idaho men's indoor record book.
The award is the first weekly conference honor of Klas' career. He and his teammates will be in action in Pullman again this weekend at the Cougar Indoor.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and a group of Senate Democrats on Thursday introduced legislation to ban the sale and manufacture of more than 150 types of semi-automatic weapons with military-style features.
The legislation also bans magazines holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition and requires people who already own assault rifles to use secure storage and safety devices and bars them from selling high-capacity clips.
No weapon is taken from anyone, said Feinstein. The purpose is to dry up the supply of these weapons over time.
Unlike the 1994 assault-weapons ban, there is no sunset provision in Feinsteins newest gun-control bill.
The lawmakers introduced the bill at a press conference with law-enforcement groups supporting the legislation. Groups endorsing the bill include the U.S. Conference of Mayors, the Major Cities Chiefs Association, the Police Foundation, and the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators.
The co-sponsors include Democratic Sens. Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy, whose home state of Connecticut last month witnessed one of the nations worst episodes of gun violence when an assailant killed 20 children at Sandy Hook Elementary School with an M-4 Bushmaster assault rifle.
Feinstein acknowledged the bill would face stiff opposition in Congress.
Getting this bill signed into law will be an uphill battle, and I recognize that but its a battle worth having, she said. We must balance the desire of a few to own military-style assault weapons with the growing threat to lives across America.
The bill would ban the sale, transfer, manufacture and import of all semi-automatic rifles and pistols that can accept detachable magazines and have at least one military feature.
It would also ban semi-automatic rifles and handguns that have fixed magazines capable of carrying more than 10 rounds and all semi-automatic shotguns that have folding or detachable stocks, pistol grips, forward grips, or fixed magazines with room for more than five rounds.
The bill includes a grandfather clause that would exempt assault weapons "lawfully possessed" on the date of enactment. Background checks would be required prior to the sale or transfer of weapons exempted under the clause.
Feinstein said she designed the bill to make it more difficult for gun manufacturers to evade restrictions by altering just one or a few features. The 1994 federal assault-weapons ban, which Feinstein also sponsored, was widely criticized as ineffective because of various loopholes.
Feinstein emphasized that her bill exempts more than 2,200 hunting and sports rifles or any gun manually operated by bolt, lever or slide action. It also exempts weapons used by active and retired law enforcement officials.
Feinstein argues the 1994 ban was effective, citing a Justice Department study that found it led to a 6.7-percent decrease in gun murders. She also pointed to a finding from the Police Executive Research Forum that nearly 40 percent of police departments reported an increase in criminal use of assault weapons since the ban expired in 2004.
Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (Ill.) and Democratic Policy Committee Chairman Chuck Schumer (N.Y.), the 2nd- and 3rd-ranking members of the Democratic leadership, have co-sponsored bill.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who has voiced doubt about passing a new assault weapons ban, has not endorsed it. It does not have the support of a single Republican senator, either.

Chris Polito, center, and Sgt. Duren Boyce, stand outside St. Joseph's Academy on Monday. The all girls high school received an anonymous threatening phone call over the weekend and police arrested an Iberville Parish boy. by Jim Mustianand Charles Lussier | Advocate staff writers Comments A 10-year-old Iberville Parish boy was arrested Monday on one count of terrorizing after investigators determined he left a threatening voice mail at St. Joseph's Academy in Baton Rouge over the weekend, authorities said. The boy, who had no known connection to the school, was released to his parents' custody, said Lt. Don Kelly, a Baton Rouge police spokesman. The motive for the threat remained unclear, Kelly said. Law enforcement and school officials declined to discuss the nature of the threat, which drew a heavy police presence at a time of heightened concerns over school security. Kelly noted that "law enforcement must take every threat, regardless of how unlikely it may seem, very seriously." "The school decided to hold classes once they were assured by the mayor-president that a significant police presence will be assigned to the school for security," Kelly said in an email. Police and East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney Hillar Moore III planned to meet with school administrators to discuss a contingency plan for security staffing. Moore said he was made aware of the threat over the weekend and met at the school Monday with law enforcement authorities. School spokeswoman Mindy Averitt said St. Joseph's arranged for added security the rest of the week, including plans to have a guard on campus. "Tomorrow will be business as usual," she said. The decision to add security but keep school open Monday was made in cooperation with the Baton Rouge police, who reviewed the incident, Averitt said. Parents were sent messages Sunday giving them the option of sending their children to school or allowing them to work remotely via laptop. Averitt said more than half of the student body attended school Monday. Students who stayed home will be afforded an excused absence, she said. "We thank our parents for their support and cooperation," Averitt said in an email. "Please be assured that throughout the weekend and into today, we followed the advice of law enforcement officials and communicated as much as we could given the fact that the situation was an ongoing police investigation. The safety of our students, faculty and staff was always our top priority." Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Baltimore County News
Elise Armacost
Director of Public Safety Media & Communications
An email from one of the Baltimore County Police Department's Community Resource officers, warning about the dangers of "Drano bombs," has gone viral.
Over the past two weeks, we've fielded calls from news agencies, government offices and community leaders asking if the threat is "for real" and trying to gauge the extent of the problem. One of my neighbors called, asking if it's safe to pick up a Pepsi bottle someone tossed in the front yard.
The answer is: yes, it's probably safe. If the bottle looks like a normal bottle, go ahead and toss it in the trash.
But if it looks swollen or misshapen – as if it might burst – leave it alone and call 911.
Drano bombs, also called "bottle bombs," are nothing new. Made from a few basic household items, they explode when gas generated by a chemical reaction inside the capped bottle builds to a breaking point. Our Arson & Bomb Unit says they've been around for years; typically, they're constructed by juveniles fooling around with stuff they ought to leave alone.
Baltimore County is not experiencing a Drano bomb epidemic.
There were 13 Drano bomb cases in all of 2011. So far this year, police have documented six incidents involving the devices – two in the White Marsh precinct; one in the Franklin precinct; and, last week, three in the North Point precinct. Officers in the bomb squad say they typically see an uptick in these incidents at this time of year, just after school lets out.
The Franklin incident involved the arrest of a 13-year-old boy. One of the North Point incidents occurred in the Dundalk High gymnasium and involved arrest of an 18-year-old student. In a different North Point incident, one person suffered minor injuries.
The lack of serious injuries is good news, because Drano bombs can cause severe injury, especially if they're placed in a mailbox or other container that can turn to shrapnel if the device goes off.
The catch-22 in all this is that efforts to raise awareness about the dangers of Drano bombs may entice some kids (or adults) into experimenting with them. Such would-be pranksters should know that the law puts Drano bombs in the same category as the pipe bombs terrorists use. Building, setting off or possessing a Drano bomb is a felony; conviction can land you in jail for up to 25 years and/or cost you up to $250,000 in fines.

Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by onlineshopper2389 Very pretty! This product looks as good in real life as it does in the photo. Kind of like towels at Anthropologie or Target, but less expensive then both. February 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sarah Good Towel, Very Thick and Absorbant I bought this hand towel online to go with the set of "Tamara" towels that I had already purchased in the store, just as an extra since hand towels take the most abuse. It arrived very quickly, but has two or three pulled threads on one side, otherwise I would have given it five stars. I will use that one as the everyday towel and keep the others more for show. I do love the design and thickness, these are great towels. November 24, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by SarahEcoDesign I wish there was also a larger version Beautiful! I wish they made these in a bath towel size as well. The only issue is that you can see some of the cream colored "picks" through to the gray side. August 23, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Megan Love these towels These towels are gorgeous and for the price, great quality. I get a lot of compliments on them and am really happy I found them. August 14, 2011

Fundraising Fiesta
THE PARTY The sold-out affair saw more than 630 guests convene at the InterContinental Buckhead to drink, dance, dine and raise money for the Latin American Association. Frank and Jan Ros served as honorary chairs of the black-tie event, which ended up raising more than $375,000 for the advancement of Latinos throughout Georgia. THE PLAYERS Lois Beserra, Barbarella Diaz, Frank and Jan Ros, Ralph Trujillo THE HIGHLIGHTS It was a vibrant evening as attendees pulled up chairs to tropical-hued tables and dug into an exquisite Latin-inspired feast, perfectly paired with wine. Falling under the theme, A Glamorous Walk Through the Past, nostalgic details permeated the event and paid homage to the ball's 25 successful years. The upbeat rhythms of Jorge Santana and Nova Sound set the mood—and filled the dance floor—while a silent auction, cigar bar, photo booth and live auction rounded out the event.

Neema Noori, Ph.D.
Associate Professor
Phone: 678-839-6329 | Fax: 678-839-6506
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Office: Pafford Social Science Building 209A
Hours: Fall 2012
Dr. Neema Noori is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology and Criminology. He received his Ph.D. in Sociology from Columbia University in 2006. After completing his dissertation, Dr. Noori taught for three years in the Department of International Studies at the American University of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates. He joined the Department of Sociology and Criminology at the University of West Georgia in 2008.
Dr. Noori's areas of interest include political sociology, globalization, historical sociology, and development--primarily in the context of the Middle East and Central Asia. To date, his research has followed two trajectories. The first builds on his dissertation and is focused primarily on NGO and government development policy in Post-Soviet Central Asia. He is writing a book examining the political and social effects of an Uzbek state initiative designed to devolve administrative control to community based organizations. By linking the activities of international NGOs with changes in local modes of governance, this project documents how the international discourse on decentralization influenced the formulation of government development policy in Uzbekistan. The second trajectory expands his regional specialization to include Iran and the Persian Gulf. Partly in response to witnessing the proliferation of American-style universities in the Middle East, he is preparing a book chapter on the globalization of the American model of higher education. This project investigates how these institutions negotiate the demands of having to comply with two competing sets of accreditation standards: American and local. This project will improve our understanding of how organizational cultures are exported by studying whether the largely democratic model of American higher education can survive and/or adapt to the authoritarian political environment of the Persian Gulf region. Though his regional focus has shifted, both sets of projects are largely united by an interest in examining the interplay of global organizations with actors and institutions that function at a sub-national level. He is also working collaboratively on a project examining post-revolutionary organizational change within the Iranian state.

Heavy metal toxicity occurs when there's an excessive build-up of metals in the body. The most common heavy metals that you or your loved ones may be exposed to include lead, aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury. These heavy metals are typically found in many products and surfaces we come in contact with in our everyday life. If you live in a home built prior to 1978, chances are the paints that were used contain lead that could make you and your family sick. Children who are exposed to lead, even in small amounts, may experience behavior and development problems including inattentive, hyperactive, irritable, and delayed growth and hearing loss. Meanwhile, exposure to arsenic over a period of time can cause discoloration of the skin and the appearance of small corns or warts. In the worst case scenario, high exposure to arsenic can cause death.
If you feel like there's something wrong with your body but could not be determined by the previous tests your doctor has administered, then perhaps your symptoms may be related to heavy metal toxicity. Unfortunately, the only way to know is to run a specific test that could detect the presence of heavy metals in your system. At TestCountry, we offer different heavy metal hair tests and heavy metal nail tests that aim to monitor your body or your environment for the presence of certain heavy metal. Among the heavy metal test kits we have include the aluminum heavy metal toxicity test, arsenic heavy metal toxicity test, cadmium heavy metal toxicity test, mercury heavy metal toxicity test, lead heavy metal toxicity test, iron heavy metal toxicity test, and more. These home test kits are simple, easy to use, and deliver results for one sample.

Reviews for Pineapple Coconut Snowballs
"Very easy to make...and my family and friends Love them !!!!"
"Very easy to make and tasty! I use a teaspoon to measure out mixture for 1 inch balls and works great! Have to let sit 6 hours or even better overnight."
"A friend recommended these and they sounded wonderful with all the flavors I love. They were such a hit at a recent party that several guests have called and asked for the recipe."
"These were awful. They were really pretty but tasted gross. I threw the whole batch out. I really hate to waste food. The look on my husbands and my face when we bit into them must have been priceless."
"If you actually follow the instructions, and don't try "taste testing" before the product is finished, you'll love this recipe. A few helpful hints:1. An inch is much smaller than you think, seriously, check a ruler.2. After you mix the drained crushed pineapple and softened cream cheese, don't taste it. It's cream cheese and pineapple, really.3. After you shape the balls, roll them in coconut, don't taste them. It is now cream cheese, pineapple and coconut. Really.4. If you made your snowballs SMALL, and they've chilled over night (or at least 6 hours), the pineapple and cream cheese have "married", and are delicious.If you're expecting coconut macaroons, perhaps you should look for a recipe for coconut macaroons. These aren't really cookies, they're more like palate cleansers.A bright little nibble, quite delicious, and a hit at the office party."

This series is called the Vicious Vegetarians. With this current body of work I am trying to incorporate ideas of mass media with traditional modes of fine art. Instead of a few, expensive paintings, I want to make hundreds of cheaper, more affordable ones in order to reach out to a wider audience. I am appropriating a graphic, POP art style that merges cartoon characters and very bright colors (almost like a coloring book) to lure the viewer in, but the closer one looks, a cute yet dark story reveals wild animals situated in
living rooms with cloudy sky wallpapers and grassy carpets. They think they are outside and free, but they're not, they are just pets obsessing, murdering, and loving their food in the great indoors.
160 pages of paintings from the series "Vicious Vegetarians," by Michael Borja. The book also includes a coloring book section!
