Full SubmissionNCDs in the Rio+20 conference outcomes The NCD Alliance, an international network of over 2000 organizations working on non-communicable diseases (NCDs) including cancer, cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes, believes the outcome document from the Rio+20 conference must contain a strong focus on health, specifically the threat to sustainable development and poverty eradication posed by the global NCD epidemic. Rio +20 will be a critical opportunity to build on the efforts already underway to accelerate progress towards sustainable development and reduce poverty and inequality, which will ultimately contribute toward the prevention and control of NCDs worldwide. Overall outcomes of the conference should be sustained political commitment and willingness to adequately address and invest in NCD prevention and control on the local, national, regional, and international levels. The conference will also provide a platform for Member States and other stakeholders to follow up on the commitments made during the UN High-level Meeting (HLM) on the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases, held on 19-20 September 2011 at UN Headquarters. NCDs since the Johannesburg Declaration The 2002 Earth Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, putforth a comprehensive agenda for action on sustainable development. Paragraph 19 of the Johannesburg Declaration on Sustainable Development highlights a key area for further attention in the Rio+20 Outcome Document. It states: ?We reaffirm our pledge to place particular focus on, and give priority attention to, the fight against the worldwide conditions that pose severe threats to the sustainable development of our people, which include...endemic, communicable and chronic diseases, in particular HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis...?1 In the 10 years since the adoption of the Johannesburg Declaration, NCDs (referred to as chronic diseases in the declaration above)have emerged as one of the foremost development challenges of the 21st century. There is growing evidence that NCDs are impeding progress to achieving the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).Effective prevention and control of NCDs requires that these diseases not be dealt with in isolationbut be fully integrated into all aspects of theglobal development agenda. NCDs and the eradication of poverty The linkages between NCDs and sustainable development, particularly as a means toward the eradication of poverty, are clear and require concrete actions on the part of all stakeholders. Member States unanimously adopted a Political Declaration during the HLM recognizing NCDs as a global development priority and the?the vicious cycle whereby NCDs and their risk factors worsen poverty, while poverty contributes to rising rates of NCDs, posing a threat to public health and economic and social development.? According to the World Health Organization, 100 million people are pushed into poverty annually because they have to pay directly for health services, which results in up to 5% of the population being forced into poverty in many countries. In addition to the economic burden they place upon individuals, families, and communities, NCDs are already having devastating consequences on the global economy. A recent study by the World Economic Forum and Harvard University estimates that NCDs will cost the world economy $47 trillion over the next 20 years, representing 75 percent of annual global GDP and surpassing the cost of the current global financial crisis. NCDs in the green economy WHO?s Health in the Green Economy series, published in spring of 2011, highlights the relationship between sectors of the green economy and health and recommends solutions that both mitigate climate change and improve health conditions, particularly in low-income settings.5 The NCD Alliance urges Member States and other stakeholders to strongly consider these solutions in the discussions and outcomes of the Conference. The NCD Alliance suggests the following priorities for consideration during the Rio+20 Conference: Health systems integration: The NCD Alliance urges governments to integrate NCDs into existing health policies and health systems strengthening initiatives, refocusing health systems on prevention, health education, and chronic disease care. Strengthened health systems will also benefit other diseases and conditions, including HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases. The Rio Declaration should reaffirm the commitment made by Heads of State in the Political Declaration issued at the HLM to ?promote, establish or support and strengthen, by 2013, as appropriate multi-sectoral national policies and plans for the prevention and control of non-communicable diseases? (para 45). Development goals: The MDGs currently contain no goals or targets for NCDs. Yet, NCDs cause 60 % of all deaths globally (36 million) each year and four out five of these deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. It is therefore critical that Member States include NCDs in discussions at the Conference and at the 2013 MDG Review Summit, and commit to including targets on NCDs in the follow up development framework when the current MDG goals expire in 2015. Donor assistance: Less than 3% of official development assistance (ODA) on health is spent on NCDs.6The NCD Alliance requests all governments with major overseas aid programmes to low and middle income countries to end the policy ban on funding NCDs that most bilateral donors operate now. Bilateral donors countries must live by the commitments made in the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness. The Rio Declaration should support the commitment in HLM Political Declaration to ?promote all possible means to identify and mobilize adequate, predictable and sustained financial resources and the necessary human and technical resources, and to consider support for voluntary, cost-effective, innovative approaches for a long-term financing of non-communicable disease prevention and control? (para 49). Whole of Government engagement: NCD plans must involve the whole of government, not just the health sector. Action to prevent and control NCDs requires the active engagement of ministries of finance, foreign affairs, education, agriculture, and transportation, trade and others. Adopt policies to prevent NCDs: Only governments have the power to regulate environments so that healthy food, smoke free places and physical activity are the norm and not the exception. The NCD Alliance expects governments to regulate unhealthy food content ? salt, trans-fats and sugar - and harmful use of alcohol through policies on price, availability and marketing. Governments must accelerate implementation of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) and tax tobacco to the level recommended by the WHO to both reduce tobacco use and generate revenues that can be used for sustainable development. Universal access to NCD medicines, technologies and care as a human right: Today, over 100 million people with NCDs are denied access to the basic medicines (including for pain relief), technologies, education and care they need to stay alive and stay healthy.7 Individuals and families in many contexts are being tipped into poverty by catastrophic expenditure on NCD care. NCDs are not new diseases and many can be treated effectively with off patent medicines. NCD prevention, and Investment in early NCD diagnosis and treatment, is both morally right and sound economic strategy. Follow Up Action on Non-communicable Diseases: Heads of State committed to a ?comprehensive review and assessment in 2014 of the progress achieved in the prevention and control of non-communicable disease? (para 65) in the HLM Political Declaration. The Rio Declaration should recommend that this review culminate in a High-Level Meeting of the United Nations to ensure that prevention and control of NCDs are given adequate follow-up as a priority factor in achieving sustainable global development.


text: Although I for one shouldn't be judging words for the correctness it is an interesting debate. The word uncircumised for one is gramatically incorrect becuase you can't be circumcised and then un-circumcised. Its not prooper language although it is infact an offical word in the english dictionary. Some people view the word uncricumcised as even offensive refering to uncircumcised as heathens and unworthy. While some people say its just a word.

Lana Del Rey
New York City
Music is secondary to me. I wish I could go back to normal. I'm a really quiet person. I always have been. It's hard when you see a lot of things written about you. It's not what I had in mind.
Who is Lana Del Rey? That's the question cynical music bloggers and curious indie music fans have been asking ever since the mercurial chanteuse uploaded the video for her single "Video Games" to the web in the summer of 2011. The moonstruck montage has transformed the native New Yorker into something of a cult figure. But for every glowing endorsement (they're out there, trust us), Del Rey is met with a chorus line of detractors who question the enchanting songstress' authenticity, thanks to her out-of-nowhere deal with Interscope and her pinup girl looks that some suggest have been augmented by plastic surgery. But despite all the backlash, Del Rey is selling out shows both at home and abroad, and her debut LP, Born To Die, was one of the best-selling albums of 2012. Clearly, homegirl's doing something right.
Lana Del Rey BiographyWe can't recall the last time an artist's background has been as closely scrutinized as Lana Del Rey's, but in an industry in which authenticity is currency, stars need to be prepared to defend theirs if and when it gets called into question. So far, Del Rey has been skittish at best. We know that her real name is Elizabeth Grant, her father is a successful investor and that Del Rey -- though born in New York -- was raised in Lake Placid before attending boarding school in Connecticut.
That's where things start to get a little murky. We know that she moved to New York to pursue a career in music, and after meeting white-chick rapper Princess Superstar, moved to a trailer park in New Jersey. We know that she released an EP in 2009 called Kill Kill under the name Lizzie Grant and performed in dive bars across Williamsburg. We know that as Lizzie Grant she didn't get much attention, disappeared for a while and then reemerged as Lana Del Rey, the retro-chic, puffy-lipped bombshell who exists today. And that's when the problems began.

This is the second of the two Unreal candies I bought to review for the blog. I really loved the Candy Coated Chocolates that I reviewed last time, so imagine my anticipation when I prepared for their Peanut Butter Cups. I was very much looking forward to it!
The wrapper for these Peanut Butter Cups follows the same logic as the Candy Coated Chocolates did. A black background with the "Unreal" logo on the front in a bright color. There's pretty photos of the Peanut Butter Cups included, which makes the candy even more enticing. It's a really nice, simple design.
I feel it is always hard to review peanut butter cups, since everyone wants to know what they're like compared to a Reese's. Since, you know, Reese's is the king of peanut butter cups right now.
I excitedly open the wrapper to finally give them as taste. They are packaged similar to most other peanut butter cups. They sit in a protective hard paper tray to keep them from sliding around too much. The cups smell of peanut butter, sweet and roasted. You can also get notes of chocolate mixed in with the strong, nutty aroma. It's extremely enticing.
The flavor is excellent. The peanut butter is smooth and creamy, and has an excellent roasted, nutty, salty flavor. The chocolate is smooth with a nice milky sweetness to it. The combination of the chocolate and the peanut butter is a beautiful combination, and these peanut butter cups are no exception. So, question of the article: how do they compare to Reese's Peanut Butter Cups? Well, it's a complicated answer. The chocolate in Unreal's peanut butter cup is much taster I think. The peanut butter in Unreal's cup is not as salty or crispy like a Reese's. So really, it depends on your tastes.
I am a big fan of that Unreal is doing with their candy. They have a bunch of other candies to try besides their peanut butter cups and their candy coated chocolate. I am going to make sure I get to the others soon! In the meantime, I really recommend that you check them out, as so bar both candies I've had have been stellar. If you're a peanut butter fan at all, you should be giving these a try.

Back when he was the Princeton men's basketball coach in the late 1990s, Bill Carmody was asked about his team's tough early-season schedule and the impact it had on its record. Your team, someone said to him, has to be the best 2-4 team in the country, to which he responded, in typical fashion, "I'd rather be the worst 4-2 team in the country."
Mike Corrado can relate. His Villanova Wildcats have to be the best 1-4 team in the country right now. Of course, Villanova can hope what happened next for Princeton that year in basketball repeats itself for the Wildcats in lacrosse, as the Tigers won their next five.
For Villanova to do that, it would have to start with Princeton, whom the Cats face for the fourth straight year and the seventh time ever when the Tigers come to Villanova Stadium Tuesday.
Villanova comes in at 1-4, with its most recent game a 12-10 loss to No. 1 Maryland
Princeton is 3-2 after bouncing back from losses to Johns Hopkins and North Carolina with a 15-12 win over Penn Saturday.
* * *
Mike MacDonald was named the Ivy League Player of the Week after his two-goal, five-assist performance against Penn.
MacDonald had assists on the two biggest goals of the game, when he fed Kip Orban and Ryan Ambler for goals in the final 52 seconds of the third quarter, after Penn had scored two straight to make it 11-10. Princeton then led 13-10 at the end of the quarter, built it to five in the fourth as MacDonald scored his second goal and ever had the Quakers get closer than three.
* * *
Villanova has played five games, which have been decided by a total of seven games. The Wildcats have played three one-goal games - two of which went to overtime, including one that went to three overtimes - and two two-goal games.
Princeton has also played five games and has not yet had a one-goal game, though there have been two two-goal games.
Since Chris Bates became head coach prior to the 2010 season, Princeton has played 64 games, of which 22 - more than one-third - have been decided by one goal. The longest streak of games without having at least one one-goal game has been six, which Princeton has done twice, including currently, with the five games this year and the last game of last year.
* * *
Princeton and Villanova meet for the fourth straight year. Before the current run of the series, Princeton and Villanova also played in 1987, 1988 and 1989.
Princeton leads 5-1, including a 14-11 win last March on Sherrerd Field at Class of 1952 Stadium in a game that Villanova led 10-7 late in the third quarter before Princeton took over.
Ryan Ambler led Princeton with three goals and two assists.
* * *
Tom Schreiber has at least one point in 48 of 49 career games. The only time in his career that he did not score in a game was his freshman year against Villanova, when the Wildcats defeated Princeton 11-10 for their only win in the series.
Schreiber has six goals and two assists in the last two games against Villanova, including a five-goal effort at Villanova Stadium two years ago.
* * *
Princeton and Villanova have one common opponent to date - Penn, whom Villanova played March 8 and whom Princeton played this past Saturday
. Both teams allowed 12 goals against the Quakers, as Princeton won 15-12 and Villanova lost 12-11.
Villanova had a 44-34 edge in shots and a 35-25 edge in ground balls against Penn. The Wildcats also won 18 of 27 face-offs.
Villanova built an 11-7 fourth quarter lead before Penn scored the final five goals.
Princeton was outshot by Penn 45-41, and face-offs were fairly even, as Princeton won 16 of 31.
Villanova won 17 of 29 face-offs against Princeton a year ago in Princeton's 14-11 win.
* * *
There had been an average of 69.3 shots per game in Princeton's first four games. There were 86 shots taken in Princeton's fifth game, last Saturday against Penn - 45 by the Quakers and 41 by the Tigers.
Villanova's five games have had an average of 80 shots.
There were 85 shots in the Princeton-Villanova game a year ago.
* * *
Princeton averages 35.8 shots per game and turns them into 12.2 goals per game, for a team shooting percentage of .341.
A year ago, Princeton averaged five more shots per game to score basically the same number of goals per game (12.1).
Princeton's top four goal scorers - Tom Schreiber, Kip Orban, Ryan Ambler, Mike MacDonald - have combined for 41 goals and 103 shots, or a shooting percentage of .398.
Princeton's highest single-season shooting percentage since Chris Bates became head coach is .304, achieved in 2012. That is also the only time since 2004 - when the Tigers had a team percentage of .348 (and reached the Final Four) - that Princeton has been above .300 for a season.
* * *
Mike MacDonald is on a feeding frenzy of sorts.
The junior attackman has 37 career assists, of which nine have come in the last two games. That would be 24.3% of his career assists.
MacDonald averaged 2.08 goals per assist for his first two years and three games; he has three goals and nine assists in the last two games.
* * *
Tom Schreiber is one of 11 players in Ivy League history - and the only one from Princeton - with at least 90 career goals and 80 career assists.
Schreiber is also the only midfielder among the 11.
The complete list:
From Cornell - Rob Pannell (150/204), Mike French (191/105), Eamon McEneaney (92/164).From Brown - David Evans (145/87), Darren Lowe (205/111), Tom Gagnon (109/99). From Harvard - Mike Eckert (91/152), Grady Watts (96/145). From Yale - Mike Devlin (94/89). From Penn - Andy Crofton (109/86).
* * *
Princeton has four players who have started every game of their careers: sophomores Jake Froccaro and Mark Strabo and freshmen Bear Goldstein and Will Reynolds.
Princeton starts Strabo - who started all 15 games last year - and the two freshmen on defense. In the last 15 years, the only other defensemen to start Game 1 as a freshman were Damien Davis, Dan Cocoziello and Chad Wiedmaier, all of whom were first-team All-Americas as seniors.

Can you use email? Substituting mailings with electronic notice.
In this high-tech world many associations would like to avoid the expense, timing and labor involved with mailings. In a large community, making photocopies of notices and other documents necessary to furnish members, can take hours. Duplication and mailing costs can eat into an already tight budget. Since it seems that "everyone" uses email, many community leaders often ask whether notices of meetings, proposed budgets and other documents can be distributed to the members electronically.
Section 617.0141(2) of the Florida Not-For-Profit Act states that notice of corporate actions may be transmitted by "electronic transmission", which would include what is commonly referred to as "e-mail." Further, according to the corporate law, electronic notice is effective if posted on an electronic network that the member has consented to consult.
In the condominium context, Section 718.112(2)(d)6 of the statute states that notice of meetings of the board, unit owner meetings (except recall meetings) and committee meetings may be given by electronic transmission "if authorized by the bylaws." Thus, electronic notice is not an option unless the bylaws specifically address this issue. The Florida Homeowners Association Act, being Chapter 720, Florida Statutes contains a similar provision. Section 720.303(2)(c),1. provides in relevant part:
. . . The bylaws or amended bylaws may provide for giving notice by electronic transmission in a manner authorized by law for meetings of board of directors, committee meetings requiring notice under this section, and annual and special meetings of the members; however, a member must consent in writing to receive notice by electronic transmission.
Since the law requires each member who consents to receive electronic notice to sign a written consent form, an association cannot simply use electronic notice even if the issue is addressed in the bylaws.
Using electronic notice may not be a panacea. Someone has to collect and keep track of member consent forms. Someone has to monitor and keep track of email address updates. Since members can revoke consent at any time, association rosters must be monitored constantly to ensure the association complies with the law. Also, consent to electronic notice turns what may be a 'private' email address into a record subject to inspection by other members. The e-mail address of any unit owner who has consented to receive notices by electronic transmission must be made available to any unit owner who requests it, which may discourage members from electing to receive association mailings electronically.
That all being said, I'm still in favor of using electronic notice for meetings, events and to distribute other information to the members. I'm waiting for the day that membership meetings can be held and votes taken electronically. Encouraging and facilitating participation by the membership should be of paramount importance to community leaders and CAMs.

Affiliated with
Cambridge, Mass. – Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA), a Harvard-affiliated community health system that serves Cambridge, Somerville, and Boston's metro-north communities, was honored with an "A" grade in the Fall 2013 update to the Hospital Safety Score, which rates how well hospitals protect patients from accidents, errors, injuries, and infections. The Hospital Safety Score is compiled under the guidance of the nation's leading experts on patient safety and is administered by The Leapfrog Group (Leapfrog), an independent industry watchdog. The first and only hospital safety rating to be analyzed in the peer-reviewed Journal of Patient Safety, the Score is designed to give the public information they can use to protect themselves and their families.
"At CHA, we continuously look for ways to improve safety and the quality of care," said Paul Allen, MD, MPH, CHA's Chief Quality Officer (pictured). "Our 'A' grade is a reflection of our staff's dedication to building a culture of safety and quality here. It is gratifying when a well-respected third party such as The Leapfrog Group looks at what we are doing and validates our commitment and effort to provide a safe and exceptional patient care experience."
"As patients begin to take a more active role in selecting where to receive health care, it has never been more important to focus on hospital safety and transparency. The 'A' hospitals, including Cambridge Health Alliance, are helping us to raise the standards of health care nationwide," said Leah Binder, president and CEO of Leapfrog. "We offer our congratulations and hope the hospital will continue to strive for an ever-increasing level of excellence in patient safety."
To see Cambridge Health Alliance's scores as they compare nationally and locally, and to find safety tips for patients and their loved ones, visit the Hospital Safety Score website at www.hospitalsafetyscore.org. Local hospitals' scores are also available on the free mobile app, available at www.hospitalsafetyscore.org.
Calculated under the guidance of Leapfrog's Blue Ribbon Expert Panel, the Hospital Safety Score uses 28 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to produce a single "A," "B," "C," "D," or "F" score representing a hospital's overall capacity to keep patients safe from preventable harm. More than 2,500 general U.S. hospitals were assigned scores this Fall. A full analysis of the data and methodology used is available on the Hospital Safety Score website.
The Leapfrog Group is a national nonprofit organization using the collective leverage of large purchasers of health care to initiate breakthrough improvements in the safety, quality and affordability of health care for Americans. The flagship Leapfrog Hospital Survey allows purchasers to structure their contracts and purchasing to reward the highest performing hospitals. The Leapfrog Group was founded in November 2000 with support from the Business Roundtable and national funders and is now independently operated with support from its purchaser and other members.
Cambridge Health Alliance is a high-quality and innovative community health system that provides essential services to Cambridge, Somerville, and Boston's metro-north communities. It includes three hospital campuses, a network of primary care and specialty practices, and the Cambridge Public Health Dept. CHA is a Harvard Medical School teaching affiliate and is also affiliated with Harvard School of Public Health, Harvard School of Dental Medicine, and Tufts University School of Medicine.

AG064: True Blue Swablu
this wiki
True Blue Swablu (Japanese: チルットの空!ハルカの心!! Sky of Swablu! Heart of May!) is the 24th episode of Pokémon: Advanced Challenge.
Episode Plot
A storm approached - a thunder struck a tree and the tree burns. Most Pokémon flew off, but a single one stayed. The gang approaches the forest, but Brock tells them they have lost themselves. Max thinks they should turn back, but Brock still thinks they would get lost either way, however, Brock tells them it is lunch time. Brock makes the stew, so he, Ash and May bring their Pokémon as well. The Pokémon are surprises, but Brock tells them that Lotad evolved into Lombre.
Pikachu hears something - when they approach, they see trees that fell over. Pikachu and Torchic see a Pokémon stuck - a tree fell onto it, hurting it severely. May approaches Swablu, but Swablu sings a song, so everyone gets asleep. Swablu trips over Torchic, so Torchic awakes. Torchic pecks May, waking her up. May sprays the wing Swablu hurt, while Torchic pecks the others, waking them up. A man hears the scream of pain Torchic woke everyone up, so he goes there.
Brock sees the Swablu, but it is all bandaged up. The man appears - it is the Ranger of the Preserve. He introduces himself as Morita and offers help. When the gang arrives to Morita's home, Brock ties the bandage only to its wing. Morita gives the gang hot chocolate. Anyway, the Ranger explains that a terrible storm was last night - so Swablu must have been split from its flock. The Ranger will give them directions out of the Preserve, but May thinks they should stay to see Swablu healed up. Ash agrees, with Morita giving them place to sleep for the night.
Team Rocket spies - Meowth thinks that if they give it to the boss, he would sleep carelessly on its fluffy wings. May fell asleep, so everyone wakes her up. Brock offers to watch over Swablu, but May thinks she should watch over Swablu. May is been given medicine and bandages for Swablu and everyone goes to sleep, except May. May watches over Swablu the entire night. Days pass by and Swablu is finally healed. Swablu flies for a moment, but falls down, so Ash suspects it might have forgotten how to fly.
Ash brings Taillow to show Swablu how to fly. Surprisingly, Swablu shakes its head, so Brock thinks it is afraid to fly. Ash lets May to spend more tie with Swablu until it can fly. Ash and Pikachu get some wings to show Swablu how to fly. Swablu goes and flies, but falls down. May places Swablu onto her Beautifly to remember how good it was to fly. Beautifly takes off and Swablu opens its eyes (after some long persuasion). Swablu is happy to see the view.
The gang discusses how to help Swablu fly, so Max resorts to Plan B - to show that they need to use magic, much to everyone's surprise. The next day, Max tells that it is due to magic some Pokémon can fly. Beautifly sprays some dust over Taillow, so Taillow flies. Swablu asks May, so May thinks he should try it as well. Dust is sprayed over Swablu. Swablu flaps its wings and if takes off! Ash and Pikachu get carried away when they want to fly as well. Morita knows where the flock is, so everyone goes to the lake where the flock is located.
During the trip, the car is attacked - one of the tires became flat. However, the lake is not far, so May asks Swablu that it should go fly there. Max thinks it wants some of the magic powder, so when May gets Beautifly, a hand grabs Swablu. It is Team Rocket who took Swablu and they go away. Ash orders Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, but is reminded that if Pikachu blasts Team Rocket off, Swablu goes as well. Swablu uses Sing, so Team Rocket falls asleep. Before Cacnea goes asleep, it uses Pin Missile, so everyone's awake except it. One of the missiles damages the fire container, so they go down.
Swablu sees the fire and remembers the fire when the thunder stroke the tree. The gang convinces Swablu to fly and when it sees the sky once more, it flies off before the explosion of the balloon. Brock sends Mudkip and Lombre to extinguish the fire. Lombre and Mudkip use Water Gun to cool the fire down. Team Rocket is saved, but they still want Swablu, so Lombre and Mudkip use Water Gun to blast them off.
When they arrive to the lake, they see no flock - it must have gone already. May offers that Swablu comes with them. Just when May prepares the Poké Ball, the flock of Altaria and Swablu arrive. Swablu goes to the flock, but May hesitates. May thinks for a while and lets the Swablu go with the flock. Max does not understand why she let Swablu go, but May just let it go to its happiness. May leaves a final drop for Swablu as the flock goes.
- Featured Pokémon: Delcatty, Skitty, Poochyena, Spinda.
- At the beginning of the episode, a classic Pokémon identification can be seen. In this case, the Pokémon is Eevee.

Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 22 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by schleppenheimer Classy-looking chair I love this chair. It was easy to assemble, and it really looks great with the Reading Chair and Abbot sofa that I bought. The color of the chair is much more bright online than it is in person, but it is still a lovely color. It's a comfortable chair that works really well in my small living room. I highly recommend this chair! January 1, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gigi8776 This chair looks and feels great The quality of the chair is pretty good and the details make the chair standout. It is also comfortable to sit in it making it a practical piece for my use. December 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by anavianna Beautiful chair Easy to put together, really pretty, more comfortable than I had expected. Gives a pop of color to any room (not that mine needed it, it already looks like a freakin' rainbow) October 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jstewart These are stunning! We wanted two chairs that really "popped" in our living room. The detail on these is amazing. The nailhead trim. The color. The shape. Everything is just perfect. August 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lakegirl Perfect Accent Chair Love the pop of color this chair gives my living room. I was able to assemble this chair with ease and quickly. August 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by slk16 Beautiful chair, great accent piece! Lovely color and well-made construction. The nail head trim feature is a nice touch. Looks more expensive than it is. March 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Isabel55 Gorgeous chairs, gorgeous color These chairs are an excellent buy. The peacock color is a wonderful pop of color while still being fairly neutral- our living room is dark wood floors, a dark brown couch and coffee table, a burnt red rug, and there are some olive green barstools nearby. The chairs fit in perfectly. Putting them together was a bit tricky, took about an hour and a half to do both. Kind of hard to line things up just right and an awkward place to screw them together, but in the end, they feel sturdy and are very comfortable. I definitely recommend them. If I had more space, I would buy another one. March 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by kelcalmoo Gorgeous This chair is even better than expected. Such a great price, it goes beautifully in my living room and it was easy to put together. So happy I got it! I LOVE this chair! February 8, 2014

Ice cream best bets on Long Island
If you're tired of ice cream, you're tired of life. Truly, it is providence's perfect food. But you know humans -- they like to tinker with perfection. Here are some variations on the theme of ice cream on Long Island.
Ice Cream Cottage(Credit: Daniel Brennan)
Ice Cream Cottage, Mastic: John Pastore has been making ice cream at his little "cottage" in Mastic since 1980, serving ice cream in an unparalleled variety of cones including sugar, wafer, double wafer, waffle, chocolate waffle, chocolate chip, chocolate wafer, pretzel and M&M. Ice cream flavors include chocolate overdose (fudge, chips, brownies), black forest (black Bordeaux cherries and broken-up chocolate shell) and chocolate peanut-butter cup.
Pazzo Gelato(Credit: Bruce Gilbert)
Pazzo Gelato, Garden City Park: Across the "piazza" from his Uncle Bacala's Italian Seafood restaurant, Peter Hewitson and partners opened a gelateria that makes its own fresh, creamy Italian-style ice cream. On any given day Pazzo offers about a dozen flavors; the banana-chocolate chip (pictured), made with just-overripe bananas, is a particular standout.
Frozen Cow Ices and Cream(Credit: Bruce Gilbert)
Frozen Cow Ices and Cream, Lido Beach: It took some serious scoops to open an ice cream store a block away from Lido Beach's Marvel, but the owners of Frozen Cow have an entirely different approach. The emphasis is on inventive flavors such as sea-salt caramel, and a breakfast special, made with maple syrup and bits of bacon and Belgian waffles (pictured).
Sip 'n' Soda Luncheonette(Credit: Gordon M. Grant)
Sip 'n' Soda Luncheonette, Southampton: This Southampton stalwart has been in the Parash family since 1958; little has changed since then. The four queens sundae (pictured) features homemade chocolate syrup -- a rarity -- poured over four scoops of homemade ice cream, with whipped cream and a cherry.
Magic Fountain(Credit: Gordon M. Grant)
Magic Fountain, Mattituck: This North Fork ice cream stalwart is famous for its unexpected flavors. The roster is long and changes frequently, but may include kulfi (an aromatic Indian confection), rainbow cookie, coconut-jalapeno, olive oil or grape-nuts. Dairy-free varieties, such as vegan raspberry, are also available.
Viale Gelateria(Credit: Bruce Gilbert)
Viale Gelateria, Lynbrook: At her spotlessly clean new gelateria, Italian expat Anna Franchi offers about two dozen flavors every day. The variety rotates, but the resonantly nutty pistachio gelato (pictured) is a must-order. Dress it up with chocolate sauce or a sprinkling of crunchy little meringue bits.
Henry's Confectionery(Credit: Bruce Gilbert)
Henry's Confectionery, Glen Cove: Two of this venerable luncheonette's specialties are breakfast and ice cream. If you'd care to sample both at the same time, try the waffle a la mode: a fresh-baked waffle topped with your choice of homemade ice cream, fresh fruit topping and whipped cream.
Marvel Frozen Dairy(Credit: Bruce Gilbert)
Marvel Frozen Dairy, Lido Beach: Lido Beach's iconic Marvel ice cream stand got new owners in 2014, aside from a fresh coat of paint, the Fragioudakis family hasn't changed a thing. Folks still line up to get Marvel's signature brown bonnet, wherein a fully loaded cone or cup is upended and then dipped into a vat of melted chocolate that instantly hardens, forming a crisp shell.
Herrell's Ice Cream(Credit: Bruce Gilbert)
Herrell's Ice Cream, Huntington: Herrell's makes a range of ice creams flavored with malt -- malted vanilla, malted chocolate, malted banana, triple malt -- and the refined malted sundae highlights its distinctive nutty-yeasty flavor. Two scoops of ice cream are drizzled with warm homemade penuche sauce (made with brown sugar and butter), then topped with nuts, crushed cookies or candies, whipped cream and a cherry.
Hope's Land of Candy(Credit: Bruce Gilbert)
Hope's Land of Candy, Island Park: At this nostalgia-themed candy store-soda fountain, you can step back in time with the forgotten confections such as a 19th-century milkshake (pictured), in which milk and syrup are shaken with ice and a few drops of acid phosphate (harmless!) to give it fizz and bite.
Hildebrandt's(Credit: Newsday/ Rebecca Cooney)
Hildebrandt's, Williston Park: This 88-year-old institution has introduced something new for 2015: sundae shots. Hildebrandt's will fill a 2-ounce shot glass with your choice of ice cream and sauce, topped with whipped cream and sprinkles or nuts. The initial idea, said Hildebrandt's co-owner Bryan Acosta, was to appeal to the I'm-too-stuffed-for-a-full-sized-sundae customers, but he says he's also winning admirers among another demographic, the I-can't-decide-so-give-me-five-little-sundaes crowd.
Snowflake(Credit: Gordon M. Grant)
Snowflake, Riverhead: Snowflake's sundae flavors follow the North Fork's fruit harvest. The summer starts with strawberries and ends with peaches. Try either fresh-fruit topping with your favorite flavor ice cream from the list of classics or the flavor-of-the-week, or be a seasonal-fruit purist: strawberry ice cream with strawberry sauce, peach with peach.
Wolfies Frozen Custard(Credit: Bruce Gilbert)
Wolfies Frozen Custard, Northport: Frozen custard is softer than ice cream, not as dense as gelato. It's simultaneously creamy and refreshing, and Wolfies is one of the only Long Island shops that makes it.
Itgen's(Credit: Newsday / Ken Spencer)
Itgen's, Valley Stream: Itgen's serves what many consider to be Long Island's best hot fudge. It's deep, dark and not too sweet, and, as is proper for hot fudge, it solidifies upon contact with ice cream. Purists will get this sundae with vanilla ice cream; chocoholics choose chocolate. No matter the flavor, wet nuts are a fitting adornment.
Krisch's Restaurant & Ice Cream Parlour(Credit: Jeremy Bales)
Krisch's Restaurant & Ice Cream Parlour, Massapequa: Krisch's classic ice cream recipes, such as toasted almond and coconut, have hardly changed in 60 years. The chocolate is sweet, straightforward and kid-friendly; newer flavors include pralines and cream, peanut butter cup, Fluffer Nutter (marshmallow and peanut butter) and chocolate-covered strawberry.
International Delight Cafe(Credit: Jin Lee)
International Delight Cafe, Bellmore: The confection here falls somewhere between ice cream and gelato. Like gelato, there's very little air whipped into it, but most of the flavors have a fat content (12 percent or more) that put them in the ice-cream category. An avowed chocoholic, owner Toni Rollandi makes a dozen-odd chocolate flavors, including Dolomite (an Italianized rocky road) and gianduia, a bittersweet blend of chocolate and hazelnut -- think grown-up Nutella. Other location in Rockville Centre.
Coyle's(Credit: Nicole Horton)
Coyle's Homemade Ice Cream, Bay Shore and Islip: Marty Coyle does not hail from the keep-it-simple school of ice-cream making. To wit, his bestselling flavor (and personal favorite) is chocolate raspberry truffle, whose demure name belies its elaborate composition: chocolate ice cream blended with raspberry sauce, then laced with more raspberry sauce and punctuated with chocolate chunks. The waffle bowl sundae (pictured) is severed in the bowl-shaped equivalent of a waffle cone.
Star Confectionery(Credit: Doug Young)
Star Confectionery, Riverhead: This landmark ice-cream parlor and luncheonette has been in the Meras family since 1920. The ice cream is made either by third-generation owner Anthony Meras or his father (also Anthony), who makes his own chocolate flavoring base with Hershey's cocoa powder. The result is clean and chocolaty, with a caramel undertone.
Northport Sweet Shop(Credit: Newsday / Joan Reminick)
Northport Sweet Shop, Northport: In business since before World War II, this luncheonette's homemade ice cream is crafted into all sorts of old-fashioned concoctions such as milk frosts (a milkshake garnished with a scoop of ice cream) and French ice cream sodas (topped with fresh whipped cream). Also: a unique lemon custard and a sundae with divine hot fudge (pictured).
Sant Ambroeus(Credit: Doug Young)
Sant Ambroeus, Southampton: The Southampton outpost of the venerable Manhattan ristorante-pasticceria (itself spawned by the original restaurant-bakery in Milan), Sant Ambroeus is the East End's gelato central. The coffee flavor is done with house-brewed espresso, and fresh banana goes into the banana gelato. Also recommended: tangy passion fruit, grapefruit and lemon, and the lush chocolate, hazelnut and vanilla.
Hicksville Sweet Shop(Credit: Jessica Earnshaw)
Hicksville Sweet Shop, Hicksville: The unassuming shop is a throwback to that pre-Baskin-Robbins era, when luncheonettes made their own ice cream, sauces and syrups as well as candies and molded chocolates. A sweet highlight is the chocolate ice cream, made from a rich chocolate base intensified by their own cocoa flavoring.
Baci Gelato(Credit: Newsday / Erica Marcus)
Baci Gelato, Williston Park: Baci's wares come in about 100 flavors -- with two dozen or so available on any given day -- and include classic Italian gelato varieties, such as fior di latte (milk flavor), stracciatella (chocolate chip) and espresso, and American innovations such as banana split and cookies and cream. The store's most popular flavor is bacio, a chocolate-hazelnut base with bits of hazelnut.
Bridgehampton Candy Kitchen(Credit: Ian J. Stark)
Bridgehampton Candy Kitchen, Bridgehampton: Little has changed at Bridgehampton Candy Kitchen since it opened in 1925, the ice cream is still homemade and fruit flavors, often made with local fruit in season, are a specialty.
McNulty's Ice Cream Parlor(Credit: John Dunn)
McNulty's Ice Cream Parlor, Miller Place: Opened in 1991, the shop's signature flavors include vanilla peanut butter, mint chunk, cherry vanilla, butter pecan, raspberry truffle and "moose tracks." A favorite: The Sandpail Sundae, that comes complete with shovel and rake, and a cherry on top.
Five Pennies Creamery(Credit: Yvonne Albinowski)
Five Pennies Creamery, Rockville Centre: Opened in 2010, Five Pennies looks to the past with egg creams (made with Fox's U-Bet and seltzer from old-fashioned siphons), soft-serve Coney Island custard and Italian fruit ices that are used, in turn, to create the store's signature Cyclone (after the roller coaster), in which the custard and ices are layered in a symphony of delectably cold sweetness.
Marshall's Ice Cream Bar(Credit: T.C. McCarthy)
Marshall's Ice Cream Bar, Massapequa: Marshall's makes its own ice cream, and a mean malt. The chocolate is intensely (but not ponderously) chocolaty, with just the right kick of malt.

World Cup, aka Park City's Summer Camp for Adults
Last weekend, Deer Valley hosted mogul and aerialist skiers from around the world for the 2013 FIS Freestyle Ski World Cup. In typical Deer Valley fashion, the event was top notch. As we drove up Deer Valley Drive toward the event venue for the aerial events on Friday night, both the moguls run and the freestyle ski jump were lit seemingly from within. Read More

By Bob Williams, Associate Commissioner
Office of Employment Support Programs, Social Security Administration
Next week is Mental Illness Awareness Week. Designated by the U.S. Congress in 1990, activities and efforts to raise awareness about mental illness are planned for national and local communities, including efforts to promote awareness about the importance of work for all Americans, including employment for those living with mental illness.
The numbers are striking. According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), one in four adults in this country experiences mental illness in a given year. This figure translates to 57 million Americans. Serious mental illnessis the leading cause of disability in the U.S. for people aged 15-44. My agency provides support to approximately 2.3 million people who have been diagnosed with a mental illness; they are the largest and most rapidly expanding subgroup of program beneficiaries. In 2010, nearly one out of every five working-age adults who were awarded benefits qualified because of a mental illness. In addition to their monthly cash benefit, all are eligible to participate in a Social Security-sponsored program, called Ticket to Work.
Why Work?
Choosing to work means earning money and, eventually, becoming financially independent. Having more money enables people to make choices and to pursue goals that simply aren't possible living on disability benefits. The Ticket to Work program is here to help people with disabilities find good jobs, good careers and better self-supporting futures! As a secondary advantage, for many people, work means boosting self-esteem, meeting new people, and giving back to their community. The path to employment leads to success, and that success builds, allowing individuals to gain confidence and transform their lives. The Ticket to Work program, along with other Work Incentives, offers a number of features that can help individuals with mental illness choose to work. For example, features such as continuation of Medicare/Medicaid coverage and expedited reinstatement (for those who qualify) can ease the concerns of people who may be considering entry or re-entry into the workforce.
How It Works
All Social Security beneficiaries with disabilities who are between the ages 18-64 qualify for these free and voluntary programs. Social Security works with more than 1,200 rehabilitation and employment service providers across the country.These organizations provide support to beneficiaries with career counseling, job search assistance, vocational rehabilitation and training. Many of these organizations offer services especially for individuals living with mental illness. For example, some service providers offer peer-to-peer support, crisis intervention and a focus on employable skills-building. According to NAMI, more than 70 percent of employers who have hired individuals with serious mental illness are willing to continue working with rehabilitation programs that place and support those people.
What You Can Do

This one's got it all—hikers, bikers, dogs, running water, an easy trail and beautiful sunsets.
Distance: Depends how long you want to make it. Seven miles out and back to Big Rock, 13 miles out and back to Rudy's Flat or a 13 mile loop circling around on North Canyon.
Elevation gain: 1,900 feet
Time: This can be an epic hike or a short one for some great views and an early return. About two and a half hours to get some great views looking back at the sunset after work.
Trail: The trail is actually very easy. If you're on a bike, it's got some climbs that are probably easier on foot, but if you have anywhere above average leg strength, it should be a piece of cake. This hike offers some incredible views without a ton of work getting to them. Toward the start, you can look back and see some of the beautiful dream homes built into the mountainside.
Who you'll see: Other hikers, mountain bikers, dogs and trail runners—lots of trail runners.
How to get there: Head north on I-15 and take the 2600 South exit. Head east till the road becomes Orchard Drive. Keep going (through curves and all) till you can make a right on 1800 South. Drive past the fancy residences and you'll see signs for the trail head just ahead.
Notable: Beautiful luxury homes are not too far up the hill from the trailhead. Bring a camera. We ran into a rattlesnake last time we went, which is really rare, but be on the lookout.
Apres-hike: Cold beer and a game of darts at the Downunder Club, 544 W. 400 North, Bountiful

Honorable mentions to Peyton Manning, Steve Young, Brett Favre. Tarkenton and Bradshaw are in the mix somewhere.
Eyes closed, head first, can't lose.
Tim Tebow is god's qb. automatic number 1.
1. Montana
2. Brady
3. Elway
4. Marino
5. Unitas or Manning
Can't argue against anybody mentioned here. Would have to add Aikman, 3-0 super bowl record is impressive.

Drew Brees should be right up there.
Qb's don't win superboels, teams do.
2015 CF Avatar of the Year winner.
Bradshaw, Staubach
Montana, Elway, Marino
Aikman, Young
Manning, Brady
Those are the top 10 guys I can think of. Unitas gets a top 5 nod cause he changed the football landscape and what people thought a QB could be. Bradshaw and Staubach, Manning and Brady, and Montana, Elway and Marino are natural rivals. In each one of those scenarios the better QB on skill isn't the most winning QB. I feel Manning is better than Brady, Elway and Marino were better than Montana, and Staubach is better than Bradshaw (although this is closer than the rest. Maybe it is because I was a kid but Marino, Elway and Montana are mythical (almost as much as MJ is to me) I don't see how those three guys in a Brady or Manning situation don't just dominate. So here goes my top 5 that means nothing.
5. Aikman (Cowboys fan, #5 was pick'em for me so I will give the nod to my boy)
4. Manning (Maybe the best student of the game, Not a big game QB)
3. Montana (Best winner here, just not the greatest skills)
2. Marino (Never a winner, but you can't argue with what he did, the team was never great, but he always game them a chance)
1. Elway (Best skills of anyone on the post, finally figured out how to win (amazing what coaching and a running game will do) put him in any of these other guys spots and the team is better)
I think childhood memories really cloud my judgement. That and a hatred of all things Patriots.
Edit: I remembered Favre but for got to write him down, still doesn't change my top 5.
A world without yoga pants and Planter's cheese balls, is a world I no longer want to live in.

Manage security issue disclosure process
- Communicate effectively with outside security researchers when security issues are identified in released software, facilitating more effective prevention technologies.
- Communicate effectively with customers when security issues are identified in released software.
- Project Manager
- As needed.
Many security researchers find security problems in software products, often by intentional investigation. Except in a very few cases, researchers will release information about the security vulnerability publicly, usually to either the BUGTRAQ mailing lists or the Full Disclosure mailing list.
Most security researchers act responsibly in that they attempt to give the software vendor adequate time to address the issue before publicly disclosing information. This activity addresses how to interface with responsible security researchers.
Industry best-practice guidance for responsible security vulnerability research can be found at: http://www.whitehats.ca/main/about_us/policies/draft-christey-wysopal-vuln-disclosure-00.txt
Provide means of communication for security issues
If reasonable, the communication mechanism should be published on the vendor web site in a security area devoted to the product since this is where researchers will first look.
Otherwise, vendors should be prepared to handle security alerts at the following standard addresses:
- security@
- secalert@
- contact@
- support@
- sales@
- info@
- The listed domain contact information.
A researcher attempting to be responsible may still not be well informed, and so may only try one of these addresses. Some researchers will only attempt communication until they successfully send the vendor an E-mail that does not bounce. Sometimes that E-mail will be sent to a high-volume alias or to an individual who receives a high volume of E-mail, such as the CEO or CTO.
A central security response alias should be established, such as security@ or secalert@ and published on the web site if possible. Additionally, owners of various E-mail addresses that might receive security alerts should be notified of the central alias and be asked to forward any relevant communication.
Acknowledge receipt of vulnerability disclosures
On receipt of the vulnerability disclosure, respond with acknowledgement of receipt, as well as a reasonable timetable for addressing the vulnerability. This should never take more than a calendar week from receipt and should generally be handled as quickly as possible.
The time line should indicate at a bare minimum when the vendor expects to be able to provide remediation for the problem, if validated. Responsible security researchers often will inform the vendor that they will go public if the time frame given is seen as an attempt to keep the information from the public. Generally, target 30 days, but let the researcher know that you may require 30 to 60 days more if circumstances warrant. Also, inform him that you expect the researcher to act responsibly by not disclosing before you can ready a remediation strategy for customers (as long as you act in a reasonable time frame), and show that you are doing so in such a way that the researcher can determine good faith.
Good faith is best shown by providing weekly status updates, which should be offered in the acknowledgement E-mail.
If the vulnerability is found in a version of the software that is no longer supported, this should be communicated. However, you should attempt to ascertain whether the vulnerability affects supported versions of the software, and this fact should also be communicated to the researcher.
The process and policies for security disclosure should be communicated clearly to the researcher, either by E-mail or by publishing it on the web, in which case the web page should be referenced in the E-mail.
Address the issue internally
The reported vulnerability should be entered into the process for dealing with reported security issues. Communication information for the researcher should be passed along, in case further contact is necessary to better understand the report.
The researcher should be given the opportunity to test any remediation strategies implemented before they are distributed publicly. The researcher will generally make an effort to determine whether the vulnerability has been addressed adequately. In cases where it is not addressed adequately, the researcher should give the vendor additional time to address the problem, if required.
Communicate relevant information to the researcher
As the issue is internally addressed, the vendor should provide the researcher with the following information on update, as the information becomes available:
- Whether the vulnerability has been reproduced.
- Timing and distribution mechanism for any patches or fixed releases.
- Workarounds to the problem for those that will be unwilling or unable to patch in a timely fashion.
Additionally, if a longer resolution period is necessary, then this should be communicated to the researcher. If the time frame is already 45 days from report, the researcher will be unlikely to grant an extension unless the vendor can clearly demonstrate to the researcher that the problem requires extensive changes, usually as the result of a fundamental design change. The vendor will also likely need to show that there are no adequate mitigating controls, which will generally require demonstrating why the researcher's proposed workarounds are inadequate.
Provide a security advisory and customer access to remediation
The vendor should provide its own security advisory of the issue, but may also choose only to endorse the researcher's advisory, after assuring that it contains adequate information for customers to protect themselves.
If the advisory only points to compensating controls, not an actual fix, it should provide a time line and distribution information for a permanent fix.
The advisory should also present an overview of the problem, denoting what resources are at risk, as well as information on how to assess whether an installation is at risk.

The proposal to build a stately residence on the Hope College campus to house the presidential family first surfaced at a meeting of the General Synod of the Reformed Church in Grand Rapids in 1884, 22 years after the first college student had been enrolled.
It was a rather startling proposal, since the college was still very small and struggling to survive under difficult financial constraints. In that year, 1884, the total college enrollment was 24 students with an additional 104 enrolled in the preparatory department. The campus consisted of seven plain wooden structures and one more permanent brick building - Van Vleck Hall, the main portion of which was used as the residence of the former president, the Rev. Philip Phelps, and his family. The provisional president of the college, the Rev. Charles Scott, had just listed in his annual report the urgent needs of the institution: funds for library books and a reading room, for science laboratory equipment, and for lecture rooms and a teaching museum. There was no mention of a house for the president.
The impetus for this idea came from delegates to the synod who had visited the campus and had voted to invite a noted eastern clergyman, Dr. John De Baun, to become the new president of the college. An impressive new residence might be the enticement sufficient to get him to leave his comfortable position and home in New York. Synod delegates pledged $3,100 for the project. Despite the fact that De Baun shortly thereafter declined the presidency, steps were taken to design a large residence, and bids were solicited. Unfortunately the money available was not adequate to carry through the entire design, but in faith the building was begun. By 1886, with no additional funds on hand, the half-completed home was boarded up until more money could be raised.
The home was finally completed in 1892, but the new president, Gerrit Kollen, a member of the faculty who succeeded President Scott in 1893, was reluctant to leave his newly-built home, one block from the campus. Finally, in 1895 he and his family moved into the house and became the first of the presidential families to reside there (1895-1911), followed by the Rev. Ame Vennema and his family (1911-1918).
When President Vennema's successor, Edward Dimnent, moved into the President's Home, he faced a domestic problem. He was a bachelor, the house was large, and the details of housekeeping and of hosting the many college and community gatherings, as his predecessors had done, were somewhat daunting. He resolved the dilemma by prevailing upon his sister, Mrs. Nellie Dykhuizen, and her family of three children to live with him and to help him carry out his social role during the years of his presidency (1918-1931). Subsequently the presidential families of Dr. Wynand Wichers (1931-1945), Dr. Irwin J. Lubbers (1945-1964), Dr. Calvin A. VanderWerf (1964-1970), Dr. Gordon J. Van Wylen (1972-1987), Dr. John H. Jacobson (1987-1999), and Dr. James E. Bultman (1999-2013) have lived in and presided over a rapidly-growing college community from the house that was the center of an ever-expanding campus, not only its geographical center but also its social and cultural center, the heart of the Hope College family.
The President's Home has hosted receptions, teas, dinners, and recitals for thousands of Hope students, alumni, faculty and staff. Countless members of the local community and parents of students from all over the world have been welcomed here. Through its doorway have entered distinguished leaders from all walks of life. Queens and presidents, astronauts and medical pioneers, prime ministers and ambassadors, missionaries and civil rights champions, opera divas and Shakespearean actors have all been entertained within its walls.
In the early years of its history the President's Home was regarded more strictly as a private residence. The president and his family were responsible for furnishing and decorating the house and keeping it in repair. As the house increasingly became, symbolically, the Hope College home and the site of many cultural and social affairs of the college and community, the college has assumed larger responsibility for its furnishings and maintenance, at the same time seeking to preserve for those living in it a feeling of ownership and privacy.
The appearance of the house was changed considerably in 1913 with the addition of the enclosed front porch. In the early 1950s the college undertook its first major modernizing and redecorating of the home, without altering the structural features of the exterior or interior in any significant way. In 1986 a more radical renovation was carried out. In addition to major electrical, plumbing, plastering, and roofing repairs the work included and the construction of an attached garage. Additional work was done in both 2008 and 2013. The most recent remodeling has included a complete renovation of the kitchen area as well as extensive redecorating throughout the house. In addition, much care was given to enhancing the grounds, including adding new plantings, expanding the rear deck, constructing a large outdoor fireplace in the back yard and replacing the back yard's wooden fence with a decorative metal fense.
Even as the home has been updated, however, its basic Victorian architectural design has been preserved, and the redecorating and refurnishing of many of the rooms by the college have been carried out to provide modern conveniences in keeping with the charm and stateliness of the 19th century residence.
The furnishings of the President's Home are a combination of the private possessions of the present president and his family, of gifts to Hope College designated for the home, and of items purchased by the college. Many paintings, prints, sculptures and pieces of antique furniture are of artistic interest. Their presence in this historic home underscores the important role this house has played for nearly a century in the cultural life of Hope College and in the Holland community.

Akron native Chrissie Hynde is a rock pioneer and for decades the only constant in the lineup of 2005 Rock and Roll of Fame inductees, the Pretenders. Born on September 7, 1951, she was one of the first women to front a popular rock band - not only as the singer, but also as main songwriter and bandleader - presenting a hard, unsentimental image that was far removed from the likes of Linda Ronstadt or Stevie Nicks. She seemed tough, and her songs, including "Tattooed Love Boys," "Up the Neck" and "The Phone Call," could at times be unsparing, though she'd counterpoint those with sweeter tunes like "Kid" and "Don't Get Me Wrong."
In the early 1970s, Hynde moved to London in hopes of finding her footing in the music business. By 1978, budding vocalist and guitarist Hynde assembled the definitive Pretenders lineup with guitarist James Honeyman-Scott, bassist Pete Farndon and drummer Martin Chambers – all from rustic Hereford. The band took off almost instantly, mastering the blistering pace and aggression of punk (fitting as she was friendly with members of the Sex Pistols and The Clash) though with added dimension. Hynde's songs possessed the melodic sheen of well-turned pop yet employed unconventional time signatures and featured frequently blunt, psychosexual lyrics.
With Hynde at the helm, the Pretenders have released numerous singles, EPs and well-received full-lengths, such as the group's seminal 1980 self-titled debut, 1984's Learning to Crawl, 1986's Get Close and 1994's Last of the Independents, the latter containing the exquisite "I'll Stand By You." In 2010, Hynde teamed up with Welsh singer-songwriter JP Jones and band the Fairground Boys to record Fidelity! Last October, Hynde and Jones were interviewed by 107.3 FM radio personality Ravenna Miceli in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's Alan Freed Studio. Hynde spoke of her Ohio roots, including "a huge turning point" when she saw Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels at Chippewa Lake Park; the power of radio and a time when "Cleveland had the best radio station ever;" and living in Parma Heights, where she "enjoyed many hours of Ghoulardi on television like the rest of us in Northeast Ohio." She and Jones also performed tracks from Fidelity! Listen to the full interview and performances by clicking here. Chrissie Hynde is among the female artists currently featured in the Women Who Rock exhibit on display though February 26, 2012 at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.

Vermont Upends Men's Hockey at Catamount Cup, 6-3
BURLINGTON, Vt. (12/30/12) - Second period penalties kept the Princeton men's hockey team from maintaining a lead as Vermont upended the Tigers 6-3 in the final game of the Sheraton/TD Bank Catamount Cup on Sunday, Dec. 30 at Gutterson Fieldhouse.
Princeton took an early lead and had a 3-1 edge at the start of the second period. Five penalties would keep the Tigers from skating at full strength for 10 minutes, half of the period. Vermont scored two power-play goals and used the momentum to expand on the lead.
"I think a lot of guys played well," Princeton coach Bob Prier said. "We got some younger guys into the lineup, that got healthy like Ambrosia, Zajac and Rankin. Our leaders are playing better, a lot better. It was great to get Kleebaum going and Berger going, and I think they had great weekends."
"I think the younger guys are getting some experience and figuring it out and I think our older guys are really starting to play a lot better. I think that we are hopefully going to gel here soon and start putting some wins together. I don't think we are that far off. "
Princeton's own power play helped it take a 2-1 lead in the opening period.
Freshman Mike Ambrosia scored his second career goal in his second game back following an injury that benched him for eight games. Ambrosia fired a shot from the point with help from sophomore Tyler Maugeri and junior Andrew Calof at 4:32. The goal came on the Tigers' first power-play opportunity and first shot on goal of the game.
Vermont evened the scoring at 1-1 at 14:18 on an even-strength goal from Robert Polesello. Polesello roofed a shot over the left shoulder of netminder Sean Bonar after getting the puck from behind the net from Pete Massar. Anders Franzon got the secondary assist.
A 4x3 goal by senior Michael Sdao put Princeton back on top at 15:22. Sdao ripped a shot from the top of the key with Calof and Ambrosia collecting their second points of the game.
Senior Rob Kleebaum, who was named to the All-Tournament Team, expanded Princeton's lead to 3-1 with a goal 54 seconds into the second period. Senior Will MacDonald intercepted the puck in the neutral zone and gave it to Berger on the right boards. Berger centered to Kleebaum who ripped a high shot into the back of the net. Sophomore Tom Kroshus earned the secondary assist.
Vermont turned the tables and scored three straight to take the lead. Power-play goals by Jacob Fallon and Brett Bruneteau knotted the game at 3-3. Anthony Decenzo gave the Cats their first lead of the game at 16:28. The second period saw shots fall 20-8 in favor of Vermont as they skated with a man-up for half the period.
Ryan Rosenthal's goal with 3:49 remaining in regulation put the game even further out of reach for the Tigers. Bonar skated to the bench with 1:24 left on the clock but the Cats would seal the win with an empty-net goal with 10.7 seconds left.
Yesterday's Player of the Game, Bonar finished the game with 35 saves, while Brody Hoffman stopped 20 for Vermont.
Princeton was 2 for 2 on the power-play and 6 for 8 on the penalty kill. The Tigers had 36 seconds of power-play time and scored twice. Vermont was on the power play for 13:09 and scored just twice.
The Tigers fall to 3-7-4 overall but head home for a five-game homestand. It will be a welcome change as Princeton has played just three home games this season.

Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Exonhit was awarded a €418,000 grant from the European Union's 7th Framework Program (FP7) to fund its participation in the Responsify Consortium, which is focused on the development of biomarker-based assays to predict tumor responses to the anticancer drugs Herceptin and Avastin. The ultimate aim of the project is to develop marked IVD tests for use in current clinical practice.
€6 million in FP7 funding has been pledged for Responsify, €4.8 million of which will be received at the program's start. The collaboration will involve 12 European partners, coordinated by the Charité University Hospital in Berlin. Exonhit will provide its diagnostics development and commercialization expertise, and exploit its Genome Wide SpliceArray™ (GWSA) platform to analyze patient transcriptome profiles. The firm will in addition be responsible for filing for IP protection of molecular signatures and associated tests developed by the consortium, and for progressing CE marking and commercialization of assays identified using its platform.
"This grant, which covers more than 70% of our costs in this project, enables us to add predictive tests in a key indication to our existing development portfolio," comments Loïc Marel, president of Exonhit's management board. "Exonhit's involvement in this consortium is evidence of the quality of its technology and know-how to identify novel biomarkers. Our collaboration with Institut Gustave Roussy regarding the Dx14 test was key."
The microarray-based GWSA platform is designed to enable comprehensive monitoring of RNA splice variants, the firm explains. Arrays cover whole genomes and monitor known and predicted alternative splicing events. The GWSA-developed Dx14 test is currently undergoing clinical validation for use in the differentiation of benign from malignant breast tumors.
