In just a few days, we're hoping to get a glimpse of what's next on the horizon for Samsung in the Android realm—the Galaxy S IV. With rumors cropping up that it will have 3D eye-tracking, a bigger display, and a thinner chassis, it has us pondering how far Samsung mobile phones have come in recent years. Looking back at the company's offerings—from flip phones to touchscreen handsets—Samsung has always followed along with current trends in the mobile phone's evolution. So we've pulled together this walk down memory lane to look back at the devices that have kept Samsung relevant all these years.
While we can't include every single handset that Samsung has ever released—there are far too many to account for and not all were available in the United States—we wanted to look at representative examples that highlight how the company's handsets have changed through the ages. Some were sadly difficult to dig up, so if we happened to miss your favorite Samsung handset, leave some memories in the comments.
Back in 1983, before cellular phones were considered necessary commodities, Samsung launched its mobile initiative. The hope was that it would be the company's bread and butter. In 1988, after much research and development (plus a failed car phone), the company revealed the SH-100 handset (pictured here), or "hand phone" as it was referred to in Korean.
During this time, Samsung only sold about one or two thousand units of each handset model. Talk about a tough crowd.
Back in 1983, before cellular phones were considered necessary commodities, Samsung launched its mobile initiative. The hope was that it would be the company's bread and butter. In 1988, after much research and development (plus a failed car phone), the company revealed the SH-100 handset (pictured here), or "hand phone" as it was referred to in Korean.
During this time, Samsung only sold about one or two thousand units of each handset model. Talk about a tough crowd.
In 1993, Samsung launched the SH-700, marketing it as one of the first "ultra-light" mobile handsets. It was certainly a far cry from some of the chunkier handset offerings from rivals like Motorola. This model only weighed about 100 grams.
Along with other handset makers on the market, Samsung eventually adopted the flip phone form-factor and stuck with it for years. Here's the SPH-A500, which debuted on Sprint in 2003 and was considered stylish and compact for its time.
In 2003, the SCH-i600 was Samsung's first Windows Mobile 2002 phone and its first 3G phone. The handset was pretty smart for the time—it had an SD card expansion slot, which was also SDIO compatible. That meant you could tack on a Wi-Fi card or camera to the phone. Windows Mobile 2002 also integrated with Outlook and synced contacts, calendar appointments, and e-mail from your computer. "A big plus for mobile professionals," CNET wrote in its review of the SCH-i600.
In 2004, Samsung launched its first CDMA- and GSM-compatible world phone. The A790 had a built-in camera and 2.35-inch display, but no speakerphone, conference calling, or native e-mail support.

The MM-A800, a candy bar-shaped slider phone, made its debut in 2005 on Sprint. It was trumpeted as the first 2-megapixel camera in the US. Sadly, it didn't have the hardware capabilities to work on the carrier's newly born 3G network.
In late 2007, the attractive U600 launched with a sleek chassis and a thin form-factor. It included Bluetooth and a 2.2-inch screen. This device also swapped out the traditional trapezoidal navigation that was standard at the time for a four-way circular button.
The Samsung BlackJack's 3G capabilities and push e-mail capabilities were quite attractive in 2006. Originally available on Cingular, it was geared toward the business-centric and productive task masters, and this model went up against major competitors like the Motorola Q and T-Mobile Dash.
At the time, Samsung drew fire from RIM for including the word "black" in the name. RIM argued that consumers would confuse its BlackBerry and the BlackJack, and it believed that Samsung was merely capitalizing on the name.
Samsung eventually went the all-touch direction for its mobile phones in 2008. The Behold, pictured here, was one of the many phones that year utilizing an all-touch interface and Samsung's TouchWiz UI. These days, TouchWiz is now standard on the company's many Android handsets. Back then, the UI featured new "flash 3D effects," gesture controls, and haptic feedback.
Back in 2009, the I7500 was one of Samsung's first Android phones. The handset featured a 3.2-inch AMOLED touch screen, Wi-Fi connectivity, and a few of the Google apps that we probably take for granted today. It also boasted integrated GPS, an expansion slot, and 11.9mm "thickness."
In 2010, Samsung's Galaxy S arrived, featuring a 1GHz ARM "Hummingbird" processor, a 4-inch display, and a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera.
The Galaxy S set the tone for the rest of the Galaxy series as a high-end Android smartphone. Other Galaxy "spin-offs" shortly followed, like T-Mobile's Galaxy S Relay 4G, but they weren't a part of the main "Galaxy S" line. If you're excited about the upcoming announcement, you can probably thank this one for starting it all.
In November 2010, Google CEO Eric Scmidt showed off the Nexus S, the Android-powered smartphone that both Google and Samsung had collaborated on. It was third in the line of Nexuses and the first for Samsung. It featured an Exynos 3110 processor and 512MB of RAM, but it didn't have an expansion slot and it topped out at 16GB of internal storage.
It feels like only yesterday that the Galaxy Nexus arrived on the scene. It was originally unveiled in late 2011 and featured Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
We're getting closer to Samsung's latest handsets. The Galaxy S II was showcased in 2011 at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Thanks to some help from the Galaxy S II, Samsung was able to overtake Apple's iPhone in smartphone sales during the third quarter of that year.
Andrew Cunningham
The Galaxy S III is Samsung's best-selling smartphone to date. It's helped the Korea-based company dethrone Apple's global market share. Not to mention, the "Galaxy" line of smartphones has now become synonymous with the word "Android."

that I found even busier than London and

Graffiti dominates the cities vacant

While the Berlin wall tends to dominate
their history, the memory of the Jews

Berlin holds a permanent reminder in the

thoughts seem to escape your mind. To

Ancient architecture haunts Berlin,
epic portions of history lie around every

building has its very own story to tell.

Cortisone shots are injections that may help relieve pain and inflammation in a specific area of your body. Cortisone shots are most commonly given into joints — such as your ankle, elbow, hip, knee, shoulder, spine and wrist. Even the small joints in your hands and feet may benefit from cortisone shots.
Cortisone shots usually include a corticosteroid medication and a local anesthetic. In many cases, cortisone shots can be administered in your doctor's office. However, the number of cortisone shots you can receive in one year generally is limited because of potential side effects from the medication.

The Curly Girl Method is an approach to caring for curly hair that is unique compared to the advice most people have grown up hearing about how to wash and style hair. But just because it's called The Curly Girl Method doesn't mean one singular method will work the same way for all curlies! This guide is for the Type 3 curlies out there whose well-defined, springy and copious curls are in need of moisture and frizz control.
Lorraine Massey, author of "Curly Girl: The Handbook," has lead the way for the "CG" method as it's commonly referred to on CurlTalk, favoring hydration over stripping hair with shampoo and developing products without harsh detergents.
Know what NOT to use
The key factor in following the Curly Girl method is knowing what NOT to use. The general population washes hair in hopes for that "squeaky clean" feeling that comes from shampoo, but most shampoos contain sulfates that create the suds involved in the "squeaky" sensation. The problem is that these harsh chemicals actually damage hair, stripping it of its natural moisture. This is true for all hair types, but it's more obvious on type 3 coily hair, since it tends to suffer from frizz and breakage.
CG method followers believe that sulfates are unnecessary and that hair can be cleaned by simply massaging the scalp with conditioner. Therefore, motion is the primary cleansing force, rather than chemicals.
Choosing a Cleanser
While you can buy a sulfate-free hair cleanser like DevaCurl No-Poo you can also easily customize your own haircare system by choosing a conditioner to use in cleansing hair.
The important thing to keep in mind when choosing a hair conditioner for co-washing is to avoid products containing silicones. Silicones are in many styling treatments and are intended to give hair a sheen, but they actually coat strands and cause build-up.
The only way to get rid of this build-up is to strip it off with sulfates which defeats the original purpose of the CG method. Look for a conditioner of medium heaviness that contains natural oils, rather than silicones.
A great choice for type 3 hair is Jessicurl Aloeba Daily Conditioner. Once you're armed with the right conditioning product, the Curly Girl process is quite simple!
Shop This Article
How to Co-Wash
First, stand in the shower and allow the water to run through all layers of your hair. Do not scrub the scalp right away because this will disrupt your curl pattern.
Next, take about a teaspoon of conditioner in your hand to begin the cleansing process. You will need more or less product depending on the thickness and dryness of your hair.
Begin by spreading the conditioner on your scalp, gently rubbing to remove dirt and oil. Massaging your scalp is relaxing and will also promote hair growth. Allow the water to run through hair, removing the conditioner. You may also want to spot-clean your scalp by repeating the process in specific areas.
You will now want to take a quarter-size amount of conditioner (depending on your length and density) and run it over the outer layers of your hair. In the colder months, it will likely be necessary to add more conditioner for hydration.
Comb your fingers through your hair to remove any tangles, and then allow the water to run through your hair again. Do not rinse out all conditioner because this will act as a leave-in and replace other expensive products you may have been buying.
While Curly Girl drying and styling techniques vary, the primary focus is to be very gentle with hair.
The recommended way to style Type 3 hair is to gently squeeze water out with a microfiber cloth and to apply a silicone-free gel evenly through the hair. Scrunch and twist hair to set the curl pattern the way you like it. You may want to use small clips to lift roots so that they dry with more volume.
Once you have set your hair the way you want it to stay, try not to touch it because this will cause frizz. The CG method promotes air drying, but you can use a diffuser on a lower heat setting if you are in a hurry.
The great thing about the CG method is that you will not have to cleanse your hair every day. Frequency of washing varies, but most CG followers cleanse hair somewhere between twice a week and once every ten days. In between washes you can spritz hair with a little water or spray gel in the morning to revive curls and restyle a little bit.
Variations on this CG method may work better for you, and the best fit will be based on a lot more than just your curl pattern. There's also porosity, density, width and length to contend with. So let us know about your experiences with the Curly Girl Method! Are you a loyal devotee, or will you be trying it soon?

Hal Clifton became the ninth head coach in the history of the North Carolina A&T volleyball program on August 2, 2011 when Director of Athletics Earl Hilton announced his signing. He came to A&T with the charge of leading the Aggies back to the success they enjoyed during the 1990's and early 2000's. Clifton enters his fourth season and has made tremendous strides with the Aggies program.
During the 2014 season, the Aggies made their second consecutive appearance in the MEAC tournament. A&T posted a 6-4 record in the southern division and earned the third seed in the tournament where it fell 3-2 to Howard. The volleyball program remained one of the top academic programs at A&T as six student-athletes were named to the MEAC All-Academic team (Liz Martino, Jillian Nobles, Ashley Johnson, Jasmine Jones, Aleena McDaniel, and Brooke Stamnes).
In his third season with the Aggies, Clifton's hard work and patience finally paid off. The Aggies made their first appearance in the MEAC tournament since 2007 as the No. 2 seed in the southern division. A&T also secured its first non-conference win since the 2010 season with a 3-2 victory over Alabama A&M on Sept. 6, 2013. Aleena McDaniel was named a 2013 third-team All-MEAC after leading the Aggies in kills (280). Clifton has also stressed academics during his tenure at A&T. McDaniel, along with Ashley Johnson, Jasmine Jones, and Brooke Stamnes were named to the 2013 All-MEAC academic team.
In his second season as the Aggies head coach, Clifton led the Aggies to three conference wins, the most since the 2007 season. He also recruited an impressive freshman class that included 2012 first-team All-MEAC libero Ashley Johnson. In his first season, Aggies were a young team and had the minimum of six players on the roster to start the season. Clifton developed those players and added others to the team as the season progressed. Despite the obstacles, Clifton converted outside hitter Chelsea Fox into a strong setter and he oversaw the steady improvement of middle hitter Andrea Evans. He saw five players named to the MEAC All-Academic Team in 2011.
Clifton came to A&T after concluding his sixth season as the assistant coach of the Elon Phoenix. He played a major part in turning the Phoenix from a 9-23 team in 2005 to a squad that finished in first place in the Southern Conference North Division in 2010 with a 21-14 overall record and an 11-5 mark in the league. Clifton came to Elon University in August of 2005 from St. Andrews Presbyterian College where he served as the assistant coach for the 2004 season.
At St. Andrews, Clifton helped lead the team to the NCAA Division II Tournament and a regional ranking of seventh. The team tied a school record with 14 conference victories and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history. Clifton coached four all-conference athletes at St. Andrews and one conference freshman of the year.
Before his stint at St. Andrews, Clifton spent three years as the head coach at Jack Britt High School in Fayetteville, N.C. At Jack Britt, he achieved an overall record of 62-20, including a 28-2 season. Clifton was a three-time Mid-Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year and the Cape Fear Region Coach of the Year in 2003. He led Jack Britt to consecutive conference championships and state tournament appearances in 2002 and '03. Clifton coached three Mid-Southeastern Conference players of the year along with nine all-conference selections.
Clifton also served six seasons as the head coach of the Carolina Region High Performance club team from 2002-2007. In 2003 and '04, he served as the head coach of the developmental team before becoming the head coach of the youth team in 2005. Clifton also spent three seasons with the Fayetteville Area Volleyball Association as a head coach. His 17-and-under team won the Carolina Regional Championship and three other tournaments in 2002.
Clifton graduated with a B.S., degree in athletic training from Appalachian State University in 1994, where he played for the men's volleyball club team. While at Appalachian State, Clifton received the Ron H. "Doc" Kannoy Award for the most outstanding athletic trainer.
He earned his master's in exercise and sport science from the University of Florida in 1996. During his time at Florida, Clifton served as the athletic trainer for the World University Volleyball team while they trained and played exhibition matches throughout the state of Florida prior to going to Japan for competition. As an athletic trainer at Florida, Clifton worked with the 1994 Southeastern Conference Champion football team along with the top ranked men's tennis and men's golf programs.

[caption id="attachment_7304" align="alignnone" width="252" caption="Ryan as Speed Racer and me as a Sexy Domino's Delivery Girl"][/caption]
So we go as "a couple" if anyone asks who we are at Halloween and skip the dressing up. I find that the costume part works better for my four-year-old than me anyway. We still get into the haunted houses, trick-or-treating and crafts events. They don't deny us at Lagoon's Frightmares either- which, btw, ends tonight. My favorite part is watching the Hackenslash Chainsaw Demonstration Team. Thrilling.
Nightmare Mansion, Castle of Chaos, and Nightmare on 13th are great haunted house options if you want to stick close to SLC for your scares. Bummer that we no longer have the Rocky Point Haunted House. That was the most professional. There's Ruesch's Haunted Mansion in Park City for a family friendly haunted house experience. What's that you say? You didn't know Park City had a haunted house? It's not as elaborate (yet) as those in Salt Lake but it's also not as expensive. Eight bucks and the location totally works. The Main Street Mall at the top of Main Street is abandoned since the landlord booted all of the merchants to make way for a development that may not happen this year.
Troy Ruesch's "6 Feet Under Main Street" is a maze of black and white (mostly black) hallways with local teens dressed as creepy ghosts, zombies and clowns. They bang on the walls, hover over your shoulder and follow you into the next haunted chamber. There aren't a lot of special effects but the monster that came up behind me while I was trying to take a picture got a blood curdling scream out of me. Ruesch started the house at his home in Heber but moved it to the Kimball Art Center last year. "We had a four-car garage and used that space," Ruesch told a local newspaper. "I'm a stucco contractor and I'd stretch out my long driveway with scaffolding and create these haunted houses for the neighborhood kids." He was able to deck out this year's Mansion with plywood, plexiglass and coffin donations from sponsors. The hallways are wheelchair accessible. Ruesch said he felt so bad last year when a little girl in a wheelchair wanted to roll through the Art Center that he picked her up and took her through himself. The Haunted Mansion is open today and tomorrow from 6 -10 p.m. at 333 Main Street, Park City. They'll have special Trick or Treat hours for younger spooks on both days, 4 -6 p.m. which is the perfect ending to your day on Main Street (see Part 2)
Admission $8 at the gate and you get a "treat" bag of candy and vampire teeth as you exit. Www.rueschhauntedmansion.com.

Maria Ines Galvez is no stranger to tests of physical and spiritual endurance. Every January, she plans a personal goal and dedicates her year to pursuing it — challenging work that usually involves going far outside her comfort zone.
In 2010, the year she dedicated to gratitude and thanksgiving, she decided to walk "El Camino de Santiago," the legendary pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. She knew that this physical challenge would be spiritually fulfilling and would also allow her to show gratitude to God. "Every night, in every town, there was a special pilgrims' mass. I tried to make it to mass each night, no matter where I was," said Galvez.
This past January, Galvez committed herself to charity towards those in need. She was trying to find the best way to do this when her running partner, Father Joseph Tyrrell of St. Patrick's Cathedral, suggested she run the ING New York City Marathon for Catholic Charities New York.
"It all started with Fr. Joe," said Galvez. "He was my inspiration. I thought, if he could run the marathon, so could I."
By running with Team Catholic Charities NY, Galvez is working toward her 2012 commitment by raising $5,000 in support of the St. Nicholas Project, a Catholic Charities initiative that provides critical social services and charitable support to New York families in need.
"Training for the ING NYC Marathon has become a life-changing event for me, not only physically but spiritually as well," said Galvez. "It is very grueling, but when I feel tired and want to stop, I think about the commitment I've made to those who will be benefiting from my fundraising for this race."
So what does Galvez say is harder – walking the Camino de Santiago, or training for the NYC Marathon?
"The Camino is harder," said Galvez. "When you're on the pilgrimage, if you don't cover enough miles in the day, you won't be able to find a place to sleep. There are rural houses along the route that take in pilgrims, but they are only accessible at certain intervals – and sometimes, all the beds are full."
Maria Ines works at BBVA S.A. as an analyst in the Structured Trade Finance Team.
- Support Maria's fundraising goal for Catholic Charities and cheer her on as she trains for the 2012 ING NYC Marathon.

Nick Canelas of the Daily Collegian has a recap of last weekend's swimming and diving sweep of Binghamton in a three-session meet on Friday and Saturday. The men won, 189-125, and the women won, 185.5-133.5. Joey Sbordon had the highlight of the meet, breaking an 11-year old pool record in the 400 IM in a time of 4:01.35. In fact, the senior smashed the old pool record by over a second and a half.
"I was actually a little surprised the boys swam as well as they did," said Russ Yarworth. "We've been training pretty hard lately so I wasn't sure if they were going to come in fatigued. But they got their heads together and swam well."
The Minutewomen were led by victories early on by freshmen Katie Arnott in the 200 IM (by over two seconds) and Zoe Judd in the 50 free. Chelsea Downing took first in the 500 free, leading a sweep of the top four places by UMass.
Sbordon leads way for Minutemen with record-breaking performance - Daily Collegian
"I'm very happy with where we are at this time of year," said women's coach Bob Newcomb. "This was a great opportunity for us to see where we were at and I think we're in a great spot being only a third of the way into the season."

People around the world face unique political, economic, social, and cultural realities. Unfortunately, they too often share a common experience: a lack of information about sexuality, little access to sexual health services, and the denial of their sexual and reproductive rights. SIECUS believes that it is unacceptable that people throughout the world are still lacking the basic facts they need to make informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive lives. We have created and collected numerous resources that we hope will fill some of these gaps.

Biotech Cos. Thwart GM Crop Research, Scientists Say
Over two dozen university crop scientists told the Environmental Protection Agency that research controls demanded by companies that sell genetically-modified crops are hampering their ability to investigate crop safety and yields, the New York Times reported. The complaint was included in public comments for an EPA scientific advisory panel that meets this week to consider the environmental impact of insect-resistant biotech crops.
Unlike regular seeds, which can be commercially purchased for research purposes, biotech crops are patented and companies maintain strict controls over their use. The scientists said company demands range from reviewing research findings before publication to an outright ban on using GM seeds for research purposes. "If a company can control the research that appears in the public domain, they can reduce the potential negatives that can come out of any research," Ken Ostlie, an entomologist at the University of Minnesota, told the Times.
The statement to the EPA was sent anonymously, although a number of signers agreed to be interviewed by the paper. "People are afraid of being blacklisted," said Elson J. Shields, an entomologist at Cornell University. An official at DuPont, which owns Pioneer Hi-Bred, offered to discuss the issue, which he said arose out of concerns for protecting intellectual property and meeting government regulations. An EPA spokesman told the Times that the government only required management of the crops' insect resistance, and other research controls were company imposed.
NIH, NSF Win Big in Stimulus Plan
The $787 billion stimulus package signed into law last week contained an additional $21.5 billion for government-funded research and development, with the National Institutes of Health's $10.4 billion increase accounting for nearly half the total, according to an analysis by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The NIH increase, pushed by Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA), boosted the agency's 2009 budget to $40 billion, a one-third jump.
The National Scientific Foundation also received a sharp increase, receiving $3 billion or nearly a 50 percent increase in its current budget. The Department of Energy's energy programs will receive $3.5 billion for renewable energy, energy conservation and fossil fuel energy research. And the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will receive an additional $1 billion for climate change-related satellite missions on top of its regular $17.8 billion budget.
In what turned out to be one of the more controversial elements in the bill, the legislation allocated $1.1 billion for comparative effectiveness research, which compares the relative medical value of competing technologies and treatment approaches. Industry groups led by the pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers sought language that would limit the research to clinical comparisons and not allow cost comparisons to determine "bang-for-the-buck" from competing and comparable technologies. That wording was removed "without prejudice" in the final bill. An intergovernmental panel will determine research priorities and the Institute of Medicine was granted $1.5 million to draw up a list of potential projects by June. The Center for Science in the Public Interest will push to include public health approaches to preventing disease.
Duke Docs Call for Registering Overseas Clinical Trials
Given the growing number of clinical trials conducted outside the U.S., industry and academic sponsors of clinical research should be required to provide the Food and Drug Administration and international regulators with publicly available copies of their formal research plans and show that study sites are distributed roughly where companies plan to market the drug after approval, a "Sounding Board" survey published last week in the New England Journal of Medicine suggested. The researchers found that since 2002 the number of FDA-regulated investigators outside the U.S. grew 15 percent annually while the overall number of such investigators in the U.S. declined by 5.5 percent since 2002.
While the U.S. still leads the world in clinical trials, a snapshot of 509 industry-sponsored trials underway in November 2007 aimed at eventual FDA approval found that about one-third were being conducted entirely abroad, and that a majority of clinical trial sites are now outside the U.S. The primary driver is costs, with a single case report costing just $1,500 to $2,000 at a first-rate medical center in India compared to ten times that much as a second-tier center in the U.S. To lower costs in the U.S., the Duke University Medical School-affiliated authors suggested streamlining and centralizing the institutional review board (IRB) process for approving clinical trial, and creating an international public registry of all clinical trial sites. The authors also called for a centralized statistical monitoring system "to find unusual data patterns in trial results that raise suspicion of fraud."
The report did not suggest that the U.S. rejoin the Helsinki Declaration for protection of human subjects in clinical trials, which it left last year. Under a midnight Bush administration guidance issued by the FDA, the agency will now accept data from clinical trials conducted abroad without prior registration of those trials as long as the trial sites meet "good clinical practice" guidelines.
EPA Wanted Tougher C8 Limits
An internal briefing paper from the Environmental Protection Agency suggests that the agency's scientists originally sought a much tougher standard for the toxic chemical C8 than was included in a nationwide health advisory issued last month, the Charleston Gazette reported last week. More than three years ago, EPA staffers proposed that the agency rewrite a deal with DuPont, the maker of the chemical, to mandate a C8 limit of 0.2 parts per billion, according to the internal document. EPA senior toxicologist Christopher Weiss later explained that animal studies demonstrated C8's "potential for developmental toxicology, including mortality" justified the 0.2 parts per billion limit. This recommendation was changed, however, to 0.5 ppb limit as "the result of a calculation error," EPA regional drinking water chief Karen Johnson said. In early January, the EPA revised the limit again to 0.4 ppb.
FDA Admits Lilly Questioned Adviser's Role on Committee
The Food and Drug Administration has confirmed that Eli Lilly officials called the agency to question the inclusion of a prominent safety expert on an advisory panel considering the new anti-coagulation drug pasugrel for acute coronary syndrome, which is jointly manufactured by Lilly and Daiichi Sankyo, according to heartwire. The admission came after Public Citizen questioned the removal of Sanjay Kaul, a Los Angeles cardiologist at Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute, from the Feb. 3 FDA Cardiovascular and Renal Drugs advisory committee meeting, which voted overwhelmingly in favor of approving prasugrel. Kaul, a regular member of the committee, had raised questions about the drug at a prior scientific meeting. The committee voted overwhelmingly in favor of the drug despite safety and cancer concerns raised by Public Citizen and Kaul. Kaul's removal "significantly limited critical discussion of the safety of this drug," the group wrote last week to Janet Woodcock, head of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.
Odds and Ends
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson will review a memo issued by her predecessor Stephen Johnson that said greenhouse gas emissions could not be considered in federal decisions to authorize new coal-fired power plants. The Sierra Club had petitioned EPA to reconsider the earlier policy. ... The conservationist group Wild Earth Guardians called for abolishing the federal government's Wildlife Services program, calling the program's approach to wildlife management "biologically unsound." ... Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA), chair of the House Energy and Commerce committee, and Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI), chair of the subcommittee on oversight and investigations, are continuing an investigation into the safety and effectiveness of Vytorin, a prescription drug manufactured jointly by Schering-Plough and Merck. In a letter last week to Schering-Plough CEO Fred Hassan and Merck CEO Richard Clark, the congressmen requested information about the decisions by the Data Safety Monitoring Boards to "unblind" the interim data from the SHARP and IMPROVE-IT trials.
Cheers and Jeers
Last week, Integrity in Science Watch published an article on a District of Columbia water study that suggested the editors of Environmental Health Perspectives had reached a conclusion on whether the study's author, Tee Guidotti of George Washington University, had agreed to publication controls over his research. It should have stated that EHP editor "Hugh Tilson asserts that if the allegations are proven, the agreement [between Guidotti and DC Water and Sewer Authority] is a violation of the journal's policy on competing interests." Neither Tilson nor the journal's advisory board have made any conclusions regarding these allegations. We apologize for the error.

The paradigm shift from unsustainable economic growth models to sustainable development was a commitment at the highest political level but this has not taken place. Today income inequalities between and within States are pervasive. World exports have increased almost 5-fold while world per capita income has more than doubled. However, the top 20% of the population enjoys more than 70% of total income and those in the bottom quintile gets only 2% of global income. The starkly unfair distribution of wealth from globalization and economic growth is epitomized in the United States as seen in a study released by the US Congressional Budget Office on 25 October 2011 that found that the average after-tax real income of the top 1% of the country?s households grew by 275% between 1979 and 2007 - about seven times greater than the increase in income by the remaining 99% over the same period. Meanwhile the income of the poorest 20 percent of the earners in the US grew by only 18% during that period, less than 1% per year. That distorted distribution of economic wealth is at the high price of a deregulated and destabilized international financial system, and a multilateral trade system that is largely characterized by rules that are not balanced, operating to the disadvantage of developing countries. This system favours transnational corporations and a minority of the population. When financial and economic crises hit, the majority especially the poor bear vastly disproportionate impacts. At the same time, the ecological crisis from resource depletion to pollution and climate change has worsened since 1992. Social marginalization, and even exclusion, in on the rise despite some progress in the social dimension in several developing countries. In recent years and increasingly so, developed countries are also going through social tensions and upheavals. Developed countries also agreed to take the lead in shifting from unsustainable consumption patterns but these have remained largely unchanged, and instead spread to developing countries with the wealthy adopting similar lifestyles while poverty eradication continues to be elusive. With income inequalities sharpening in all countries, over-consumption and unsustainable consumption dominates production choices (and hence natural resources use and financial resources allocation) while the poor and marginalised are deprived of a dignified standard of living. The disenchantment of expectations on the part of young people, women, indigenous peoples, rural and urban poor and other marginalized populations across the world as well as a middle class under threat constitute perhaps an unprecedented challenge for governments and the UN in the next few months as we prepare for Rio+20. B. Reaffirm the Rio 1992 Principles and re-commit to implement the agreed sustainable development agenda There are already sustainable development principles and frameworks adopted in 1992 followed by subsequent programmes, action plans and measures worked out at each session of the Commission on Sustainable Development, as well as the relevant treaties and conventions. Between 1992 and 1997 there was a high level of activity as a result of the high political commitment at Rio 1992 ? many developing countries made efforts to formulate national sustainable development strategies and policies, a number established national sustainable development bodies and mechanisms, Local Agenda 21 was a framework undertaken by local governments in several countries and the CSD sessions themselves were engaging and productive. The ?Rio Conventions? on climate, biodiversity and combating desertification and land degradation are beyond environmental agreements but rather legally binding agreements that requires development paradigm shifts in accordance with the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities, that is based on equity and the historical responsibility of developed countries. Components of the sustainable agenda are also in the outcomes of the UN Summits and Conferences since 1992 including on social development, women, financing for development, the impact of the global financial and economic crisis on development, least developed countries, small island developing states etc. There is also further evolution of human rights as a cross cutting dimension for sustainable development, in particular the adoption by the General Assembly of the UN Declaration on Human Rights, the contributions of the UN Special Rapporteurs on the Right to Food and on the Right to Health, and emerging work on indicators based on the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. Rio+20 must therefore focus on implementation. Today the implementation gaps of the sustainable development agenda are widely acknowledged and it is crucial for Rio+20 to acknowledge the fundamental causes for the implementation failure. These include: ? Overshadowing of the sustainable development agenda by globalisation characterized by economic liberalization that has created ecological and social crises, increased concentration of wealth in a handful of large corporations in each sector (industry and finance) and undermined the policy autonomy and space of States. Such globalization has itself created economic crises further exacerbating social tensions, conflicts and political destabilization; ? Weakening of multilateralism that is crucial for sustainable development by continuing unilateralism (such as trade protectionism and rejection of some of the Rio principles and even the Conventions by some countries); ? Disproportionate influence of global economic institutions and their lack of public accountability, including to the UN; ? Lack of implementation means (finance, technology and capacity building) that was an integral part of the 1992 Rio global sustainable development partnership with governments at the core of that partnership and developed countries committing to provide the implementation means; ? Lack of integration of the 3 pillars of sustainable development at all levels of policy and governance despite initial efforts in the 1990s and numerous UN commitments and programmes related to the 3 pillars. Thus there is an urgent need to reaffirm the internationally agreed principles contained in the Rio de Janeiro Declaration on Environment and Development of 1992, in particular the fundamental principle of common but differentiated responsibilities, as the political framework for sustainable development. Secondly, political commitment must be renewed to implement the agreed sustainable development agenda, building on accumulated knowledge and experiences over the past 20 years, starting with Agenda 21 and the Johannesburg Plan of Action. Thirdly, a ?revitalized global partnership for sustainable development? must be based on States resuming their responsible role and asserting policy autonomy as a counter to the unfettered market forces that are causing instabilities at all levels. Accordingly, Rio+20 must revive the work of the UN on a global framework for corporate accountability. Fourthly, in any private-public sector collaboration there is a need to ensure independence of public policy and governance from undue influence by the private sector, especially transnational corporations and large enterprises. There is a need to distinguish these from family and community enterprises and small and medium sized enterprises that are often left out of consideration or not given their due recognition. Fifthly, recognizing the importance of appropriate technology for sustainable development Rio+20 needs to establish an intergovernmental body on technology that facilitates technology transfer and innovation (and deals with barriers such an intellectual property rights) and builds capacity for technology assessment. The CSD in its first session in already stressed the need for technologies to be assessed for their health, safety, environmental, economic and social impact. C. Rebuilding confidence and seeking consensus for post-2012 implementation Confidence building is needed in the next few months due to the retreat by most developed countries of their international sustainable development commitments, and even rejection by some of the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities. Since equity is the necessary framework for operationalising sustainable development at all levels, the emerging divergence of views on CBDR in various multilateral fora where decisions and commitments are being negotiated raises deep concerns. UNGA Resolution 64/236 called for discussion and refinement of ?a green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication? as one of the 2 themes. However, it is clear from the preparatory process and numerous related discussions that there is still no universally accepted definition or common understanding on the term ?green economy?. While parts of the UN system such as ESCAP has facilitated Member States in arriving at some common understanding of green growth, its details and operationalisation remain unclear to most governments. At the level of national and local governments, communities and enterprises, and civil society organisations, a wide range of activities including policies, programmes, projects and measures are developed and implemented that all concerned term these ?green? in accordance with their respective interpretations and descriptions. At the same time concerns by many developing countries are being reiterated especially on the substitution of the sustainable development framework by an undefined concept of green economy, trade protectionism and new development assistance conditionality. However, it is also emerging strongly from the preparatory process, especially the regional preparatory meetings (including those of civil society and Major Groups prior to each regional meeting), the Beijing Symposium and the Delhi Ministerial Dialogue that there is a growing consensus on reaffirming the Rio principles and sustainable development framework at the international level and allowing national strategies to be formulated that can refine the 3 pillars along the best principles, approaches and practices. In these efforts the best of ?green economy? could be assimilated within the sustainability paradigm and the context of national and (sub)regional realities. Instead of a disproportionate focus on the green economy theme and on goals and roadmaps at this juncture that could undermine confidence building and consensus at Rio+20 the Outcome document could address the widely expressed concerns (this is gaining support from Member States) and reflect the above growing consensus. D. Institutional framework for sustainable development The UN is the primary forum for an Institutional Framework for Sustainable Development (IFSD) for the integration of the three pillars of sustainable development and the implementation of the sustainable development agenda. In this context, there is an urgent need to strengthen institutional arrangements on sustainable development at all levels in accordance with the Rio principles, especially common but differentiated responsibilities. The meaningful participation of developing countries in the IFSD is also a key principle. Multilateral environmental agreements have increased in number in response to environmental challenges and effective leadership is needed to address policy fragmentation, and avoid overlapping and duplication. Major agreements such as the 3 ?Rio Conventions? are in fact about sustainable development requiring fundamental shifts in all the 3 pillars to deal with climate change, biodiversity and land degradation. Accordingly the institutional framework needs to facilitate the interface and integration of the 3 pillars. To accomplish this integration of the three pillars and achieve sustainable development, the IFSD should at least meet the following functions: 1. Identify specific actions to fulfil the sustainable development agenda, starting with the implementation Agenda 21 and the Johannesburg Plan of Action 2. Provide support to regional structures and national mechanisms in developing and implementing their national sustainable development strategies 3. Provide support for developing countries to participate meaningfully at the international and regional levels of decision making 4. Provide guidance and identify specific actions in order to fulfil the sustainable development agenda 5. Monitor progress in the implementation, including commitments for provision of means of implementation and recommend actions to correct and address challenges 6. Assess the balanced integration of the 3 pillars in the international system and establishment necessary mechanism to follow up commitments on sustainable development and to identify weaknesses or gaps that affect the full implementation of the sustainable development agenda 7. Promote the participation of civil society in the sustainable development agenda. The IFSD requires adequate Secretariat actions and functions. These include: (a) Research, analysis and reports and recommendations, to alert governments and the public of trends and developments and to give alerts on emerging problems. (b) Provide technical assistance and advice in general; (c) To make arrangements for convening meetings, their reports and follow up on the outcomes. The IFSD should take a balanced approach to the three pillars, so that each pillar is equitably developed in concepts, outcomes and actions. There should be cross-fertilisation and crossreferencing between the three pillars. For example, the social pillar has to take account of the economic and environmental dimensions; the economic pillar has to take account of the social and environmental dimensions; and the environment pillar has to take account of the social and economic dimensions. In some issues, the connections are even more obviously direct, for example, the management of energy and water resources have to link to access of the poor to energy and water resources. Further, the following would enhance the IFSD: 1. Creation of a Council on Sustainable Development under the General Assembly: This would be the umbrella organization, building on the experience and roles of the Commission on Sustainable Development, with the core function of the Council is the integration of the three pillars, the development or updating of the general sustainable development principles, and the international cooperation components of finance, technology and capacity building. This general component could include mechanisms for coordinating among the agencies, committees or secretariats of the three pillars; the mobilizing and operations of finance and technology transfer; and the convening of high-level meetings of Ministers or Heads of Governments and States on ?Sustainable Development? overall in which the issues of the three pillars are on the agenda. Under this umbrella architecture, there should be more time given for the convening of meetings on sustainable development pillars and issues, for example climate change, biodiversity, financial and economic issues, intellectually property and sustainable development issues where there is now a felt need for more time for intergovernmental discussion. There would be space to explore new mechanisms or better coordination for important but relatively neglected issues such as water or energy. There can be more time for more effective mobilizing of financial resources and technology development and transfer. 2. International financial architecture reform: the latest series of financial crises has not triggered the political momentum for the much needed reform of the international financial architecture largely due to the reluctance of the major developed countries to make this a priority at the UN and IFIs or to put in place a rigorous regulatory framework on the private financial sector. The UN has a legal mandate in its Charter to deal with financial issues and Member States have adopted far reaching recommendations in the wake of the 2008 financial/economic crisis. Rio+20 needs to provide political commitment for the needed reforms as the road to Rio continues to be paved with fresh financial scandals. 3. Fair and equitable trade rules: the current impasse at the World Trade Organisation largely reflects the rejection by many developing countries of further liberalization that undermines sustainable development and the imbalances in the existing agreements. For example, implementation of the Agreement on Trade-related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights is violating the right to affordable medicines and access to Information, facilitating private expropriation of seeds, plants, animals, microorganisms and traditional knowledge, and restricting technology transfer and innovation. The growing trade disputes over subsidies for renewable energy technologies and products and other climate related unilateral trade restrictions between developed and developing countries reveal the flaws in existing rules. At the same time there is a proliferation of bilateral free trade agreements (mostly between developed and developing countries) that go beyond trade to almost every aspect of a country?s development and requires liberalization beyond WTO requirements, undermining sustainable development. Thus there is a need for the existing trade rules to be to be aligned with sustainability principles and norms, and for the push for ?business-as-usual? economic liberalisation to be withdrawn. 4. ECOSOC to play its mandated role: the socio-economic policy role of ECOSOC and its coordination role vis-�-vis the various functional commissions have been discussed and refined over the years and its relationship with the proposed Council on Sustainable Development would need to be defined. 5. Broaden UNEP's mandate and increase its resources: UNEP should be enabled to function to support developing countries in the implementation of the sustainable development agenda, assisting countries with formulating their institutions, action plans, policies, laws and implementation mechanisms; assisting countries obtain Information, knowledge, technologies, good practices, recovery from natural disasters, etc., and fostering more effective coordination and cooperation in implementation activities among policyformulating and implementing agencies, at international and regional levels, and national level.

Prosthesis - a device that replaces a missing part of the body
Prosthetist - the person who designs and fits your prosthesis
Prosthetics - the art and science of making prostheses
The Prosthetics department at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children provides comprehensive prosthetic services and on-site custom fabrication for patients with amputations or limb deficiencies. Since our Prosthetics department was created in 1975, we have fitted more than 5,000 limbs.
Our prosthetists and technicians, all accredited by the American Board for Certification in Prosthetics and Orthotics, complete all phases of prosthetic treatment at the hospital. The phases include: consultation, measuring, casting and molding for prostheses, fitting alignment, fabrication and follow-up visits. Prosthetists work closely with our orthopedic doctors, performing consultations in all of our clinics. The department has four full-time prosthetists and four full-time technicians.
After being referred to Scottish Rite Hospital, you will be seen in a prosthetics clinic by a team that includes your doctor, prosthetist, physical or occupational therapist, nurses and psychologist. You will then be referred to the Prosthetics department for the next phase of treatment. This involves several appointments, usually separated by a week or two.
The Prosthetics department is open on weekdays. Patients are seen from 8 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. and from 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. The department is located on the lowest level (L) near the "C" Bank elevators. Colorful murals of underwater themes and fish cover our hallway and waiting area walls.
We assign each child arriving from clinic to the next available prosthetist. If you would prefer to see the same prosthetist each time you visit, you may call us in advance to schedule an appointment. At times a technician may step in to assist with repairs or various steps in the fabrication process.
Each time you come to the hospital, please bring all equipment the child uses, including the prosthesis, any socks, liners or special pads, crutches, walkers, etc. For lower limbs, please also bring a pair of loose-fitting shorts. This allows us to more easily take casts or measurements and to check and modify the devices as needed. For arm prostheses, a loose fitting T-shirt or tank top is preferred.
Please call 214-559-7440 or 800-421-1121, ext. 7440, if you have any questions or problems with your prosthesis. We schedule each patient as soon as possible, and we prefer to schedule you with the person(s) who fitted and made your prosthesis.

Tea grown at the ashram.
Among the small farmer groups working with PDS are the Adivasis (tribal people), an ashram, and a convent. Here we are learning about the tea grown by nuns at the convent, and their very impressive organic composting practices.
At the ashram where in addition to their spiritual practices, they grow tea, fabricate organic compost, and raise cows to generate income and provide the local community with dairy products.
