Applied Behavior Analysis & Autism
Welcome to the Center for Applied Behavior Analysis (CABA) at The Sage Colleges' Esteves School of Education.
Are you interested in working with people diagnosed with autism? Do you want to learn effective strategies that will make a difference to children and adults with this disorder? Then Sage's Applied Behavior Analysis and Autism program is for you.
The program follows a "scientist-practitioner" model of training. That means all instruction is grounded in the scientific approach towards studying behavior. You will learn about research design, the importance of empirical evidence, and the focus on experimentation to discern causes of behavior. This knowledge will be coupled with a thorough training in the only therapeutic approach to the treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorders that has empirical research to support its effectiveness with this population.
This program is delivered completely via distance learning, utilizing online delivery of classes, and there is an optional clinical supervision track supervised by geographically close Board Certified Behavior Analysts or alternative supervision (e.g., webcam observation).
The goals of the MS program are:
- to prepare students to work with persons with autism,
- to give the students the educational and skill competence necessary to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, and
- to increase the number of professionals who have behavioral skills.
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is rapidly becoming the most often diagnosed childhood disorder. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), a branch of psychology rooted in the application of science to the study of human behavior, is a special therapy that has been shown to be quite effective in reducing the impact of autism spectrum disorders.
Your studies will combine two tracks, plus and optional supervised practicum. You will thoroughly study Applied Behavior Analysis, both the conceptual underpinnings as well as the skills necessary to effect behavioral change. You will learn strategies for defining and assessing behaviors, development of instructional goals that are measurable, antecedent strategies to promote learning, use of consequences to effect positive change, and rules for determining success and mastery. You will learn the procedures and strategies for dealing with language development, abnormal behavioral patterns, and socialization issues. For practicum track students, the application of these skills will be evaluated in clinical settings where you will be working with persons with autism and other disorders.
The second major focus of the program involves a deep understanding of autism. You will learn about the etiology of the disorder and assessment strategies. You will understand how persons with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are affected in all areas of development, including language, learning, socialization, and personal behaviors. Different theoretical explanations of ASD will be covered, as well as different therapeutic approaches towards solving language, learning, and behavioral issues.
The on-line format of our coursework allows for a multi-media presentation of material. In each course, students are given varied access to proven learning tools for their own growth and improved comprehension: audio-visual presentations by professors, written tools, and active learning experiences such as fluency drills and practice in data collection. In one course, students may read and discuss articles on the treatment of autism from many different perspectives; in another course, students may watch video clips of children with autism engaged in different learning activities and apply different data analysis procedures. There is also an emphasis on research and evidence-based practice. Consistent with Sages approach that experience is the best teacher, students also practice designing and applying research principles. Applied behavior analysis is not only a treatment for autism, but an effective framework for teaching in general. Our professors and adjuncts are all behavior analysts who enjoy using our technology to teach students at every level. Our programs are broadly focused on training professionals in the best, evidence-based practices in the treatment of autism, while individualizing each students educational experience to maximize his/her experience of the program.

Notice to Applicants & Candidates
Services restricted to New York State licensed professionals, including licensed psychologists, cannot be rendered by program students or graduates unless: (a) they are licensed in New York State to provide such services, or (b) they provide those services in an exempt setting as salaried employees.
Due to the recent re-writing of the APA practice act, now only psychologists can do "behavior analysis" type of activities: modifying behavior, conducting behavior analysis, etc. In New York, the New York psychologists have adopted this practice act, therefore, only licensed psychologists can do behavior analytic practice, unless one works in a school, clinic, hospital, and similar institutions. The New York State Education Department, which approves all graduate programs, requires this disclaimer in our materials. If your state does not adhere to this new definition of psychological practice, then this disclaimer will have no functional relevance to you.

2013 - Colorado Courage Classic Opportunities To Support Remain
Submitted by David on
DENVER—June 21, 2013—Cyclists participating in the Children's Hospital Colorado's signature event, Courage Classic, will start pedaling throughout Summit County in one month, July 20–22. In its 24th year, the 155-mile fundraising tour depends on the generous support of donors, sponsors and volunteers for its success, and we encourage your readers to get involved.
The Courage Classic funds go directly to meeting hospital needs such as purchasing new medical equipment, supporting new child health research and evolving the Hospital Sports Program for kids with disabilities. Donors can see their dollars at work through Courage Classic teams like Team Courage, which is comprised largely of former and current Children's Colorado patients beating the odds.
Since its inception in 1989, and thanks to thousands of participants and supporters, the Courage Classic has raised more than $28 million for Children's Colorado. In 2012 alone, the Courage Classic raised more than $2 million. These funds support Children's Colorado in a variety of ways, impacting the lives of thousands of kids and their families each year.
To donate to the Courage Classic, as well as learn about the specific riders or teams to support, please visit: couragetours.com
Please contact us for a preview of Courage Classic riders and teams from your community. We hope you will consider publishing one of these unique human interest stories to help us spread the word and provide local kids access to expert medical care.

ZF-7632: Bootstrapping modules leads to a infinite loop in PuginLoader class
I am using a modular structure in my application to separate the public part of the application from the administrative part of the application.
My modules reside in application/modules directory (folder structure created using Zend_Tool) which looks like this:
application --modules ----admin ------models ------controllers ------views ------Bootstrap.php ----public ------models ------controllers ------views --Bootstrap.php
My application.ini file from application/configs has the following lines:
[production] phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 0 phpSettings.display_errors = 0
includePaths.library = APPLICATION_PATH "/../library"
bootstrap.path = APPLICATION_PATH "/Bootstrap.php" bootstrap.class = "Bootstrap"
autoloaderNamespaces.artistcb = "ArtistCB_"
resources.db.adapter = "pdo_mysql" resources.db.isDefaultTableAdapter = true resources.db.params.host = "localhost" resources.db.params.username = "xxx" resources.db.params.password = "xxx" resources.db.params.dbname = "xxx" resources.db.params.charset = "UTF8"
resources.frontController.moduleControllerDirectoryName = "controllers" resources.frontController.moduleDirectory = MODULES_PATH resources.frontController.defaultControllerName = "index" resources.frontController.defaultAction = "index" resources.frontController.defaultModule = "public" resources.frontController.env = APPLICATION_ENV
resources.layout.layoutPath = MODULES_PATH "/public/views/layouts/scripts" resources.layout.pluginClass = "ArtistCB_Layout_Controller_Plugin_Layout"
resources.view = ""
resources.modules.default = resources.modules.admin =
[staging : production]
[testing : production] phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 1 phpSettings.display_errors = 1
[development : production] phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 1 phpSettings.display_errors = 1
An empty class called Admin_Bootstrap exists in a file Bootstrap.php in application/modules/admin.
When I run my application in the browser I receive the following message:
Fatal error: Maximum function nesting level of '100' reached, aborting! in /var/www/ArtistCB/library/Zend/Loader/PluginLoader.php on line 141
I should also mention that commenting the two lines below in the application.ini solves the problem
;resources.modules.default = ;resources.modules.admin =
This is probably because the Modules resource plugin is not runned, thus the Admin module Bootstrap class is not runned.
Does your Admin_Bootstrap class extends Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap ?
This is what I have in the Bootstrap.php file from the admin module.
class Admin_Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap {}
Anyway, I am using now the latest version and the problem disappeared.
The latest version of the Zend Framework (1.9.2) that is.
Marking as resolved, based on user input.

The avionics system is at the core of each space system. All control tasks, any processing of mission data and the full communication stack are handled by the avionics system. Consequently, the reliability of the avionics system is essential for any mission. At the same time the requirements for enhanced processing capabilities increases while keeping parameters like energy consumption or size of the system stable. Only by achieving such an improved performance future missions can be supported that demand for advanced processing of video data or a high degree of autonomy.
The Department of Avionics Systems works within this area in tight collaboration with the Group of Reliable Embedded Systems at the University of Bremen. The research of the department focusses on the design of new avionics concepts as well as design methodology and tools.

Warmer day may bring touch of rain to Volusia-Flagler
Published: Thursday, February 7, 2013 at 7:05 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 7, 2013 at 10:29 p.m.
This week's warming trend continues Thursday, and it may bring some rain to the Volusia-Flagler area.
The National Weather Service in Melbourne forecasts a 30 percent chance of rain, with the chances for an isolated thunderstorm increasing after lunch time.
Skies will be mostly cloudy, and high temperatures will reach near 80 degrees.
A south wind of 5 to 10 mph will increase to 10 to 15 mph in the morning. Winds could gust as high as 25 mph.
High winds off the shore of Volusia and Flagler will kick up 4- to 6-foot seas making boating for small crafts risky, forecasters said.
Rip currents will also be elevated and swimmers are asked to enter the water near a lifeguard.
Tonight, a 30 percent chance of showers is also expected. Mostly cloudy skies with a low around 65 degrees will prevail.
In traffic news, two vehicle crashes were reported earlier Thursday morning in Volusia. One wreck with injuries and no fatality occurred at Third Court and June Terrace near DeLand while the second with no reports of injuries happened at U.S. Highway 92 and Jacobs Road east of DeLand.
No crashes are recorded in Flagler County.

|Reed garners WAC honor
DENVER - Idaho's Lachlan Reed has been named the Verizon Western Athletic Conference Men's Tennis Players of the Week for Jan. 17-23.
Reed, a senior from Brisbane, Australia (Queensland), went undefeated during the week dropping only three games in his two singles victories playing at the No. 2 position. In his singles matches, Reed defeated Mario Novarro of Eastern Washington in straight sets, 6-0, 6-2. He also claimed a dominant victory over Cesar Uauy of Lewis-Clark State College, 6-1, 6-0.
In doubles action with partner Jose Bendeck, Reed defeated Chad Henninger and Kyle Koetje of Eastern Washington 8-6 and beat Tyler Orem and Oliver Sindayigaya of Lewis-Clark State College, 8-1.
"As a senior co-captain, Lachlan had a great start to the year," Idaho coach Jeff Beaman said. "He has given great leadership both as a teammate, and by his play on the court."
The Vandals return to action with three matches in Eugene, Ore., Jan. 28-30, as they face Oregon on Jan. 28, Portland State on Jan. 29, and Weber State on Jan. 30.

Bourbon is whiskey, but it has to be made in a distinct way (and in the USA) to get its special name. Similarly, bourbon leather is calfskin, but it takes a unique bit of American craftsmanship to create this exceptional finish. The process starts with a warm, walnut leather which on its own cuts a dashing figure. Burnishing the exterior on the black wheel, not only heightens the shine but imbues the surface with contrasting low-lights, to create a rich depth of color. The final result adds both character and sophistication to the shoe, creating footwear that is as unmatched as it is uncommon.

It was 75 years ago today that Jesse Owens won his fourth gold medal in the 1936 Berlin Olympics and shamed Nazi leader Adolph Hitler.
Jesse Owens set four world records in the 100, 200-meter dash, broad jump and 4 x 100-meter relay. In total 13 African American athletes earned medals thus debunking Adolph Hitler's theory of Aryan superiority.
Jeremy Schaap wrote a wonderful book titled The Untold Story of Jesse Owens and Hitler's Olympics a few years ago which I read with great interest as Jesse is my father's uncle. As inspirational and beautiful as this story is, I'm always struck by the greater racial tensions Jesse Owens faced in America rather than in Germany.
So here we stand just months away from the 2012 London Olympics. London is in a state of unrest as young rioters act out their frustrations about the lack of opportunities in their future. The England-Netherlands soccer match has been canceled due to the London riots for the safety and protection of fans and players.
This is a sad day indeed given the history of how sports has the great opportunity to bring us together for a common goal.
I have no grand ideas about sports solving the world's problems. But here's hoping these games can bring some inspiration for our generation during this time of uncertainty as the Olympics and its heroes have in the past.

Foreclosure Basics
First and foremost, foreclosure is a process. It's the process your lender must go through to enforce its right to force the sale of your home to collect an outstanding debt.
How did your lender get this right? You gave it to your lender when you signed the mortgage or deed of trust for your home loan. A mortgage or deed of trust was one of the many documents you signed when you originally took out your loan to purchase your home. In this document, you gave to your lender a security interest in your house to guarantee repayment of your mortgage. Once you stop paying your mortgage, your house can be sold without your consent so that your lender can recoup the amount they loaned to you.
How do Foreclosures work?
Foreclosures typically take one of two major paths: judicial (in court) or nonjudicial (out of court). If your home loan is secured by a mortgage, chances are good you'll have a judicial foreclosure. If your loan is secured by a deed of trust, you'll probably have a nonjudicial foreclosure. The real estate industry in a particular state—and the laws that industry's lobbyists have pushed through the state legislature—pretty much determines whether mortgages or deeds of trust are used there.
A judicial foreclosure often takes longer—a lot longer—than a nonjudicial one. A judicial foreclosure also gives you a ready-made opportunity to oppose the foreclosure and assures that your home won't be lost to foreclosure unless a judge signs off on it.
How much time will you have before your house is sold?
If you know that your house can be sold at auction in as few as 30 days after you first get notice of the foreclosure, you'll need to act differently if you can count on three or four months in which to negotiate with your lender or try other strategies.
Fortunately, even in short-notice states, you can pretty much count on learning about the intended sale in time to use one of the strategies explained in other articles on this website.

Price Point Classic Short Sleeve Jersey
The Price Point Classic Jersey is made of 100% Dry Sport Polyester for superior wicking capabilities. The jersey comes with 3 rear pockets and is available in a variety of sizes and colors.
This is the first and only jersey I have purchased. It breathes great and does a good job of not absorbing odor. If they keep selling this I will never pay for a more expensive product. Only complaint is the elastic bottom which rides up my tummy. Next time I'll go with a size larger.
I purchased a few of these shirts because they were inexpensive. Turns out, they were a lot nicer than I thought! You'll definately come back for another after you get one.
I got this a s a first jersey, I ride for fitness, and am a big guy. This jersey in the 2X fits great and is very comfortable to wear. It may not be high priced but I feel the value and construction is above the price. Living in Vegas I need something that will keep me cool and this does the trick. I can see a few more entering my closet in the near future.
for the past 8 years these have been my main stock of jerseys Very well priced, tough enough for daily wear, and I am loving the expanded color choices! that needed to happen a long time ago.
Outstanding jersey, especially for the money. I bought 3 for the price of 1 "name" brand and have a clean jersey ready at all times. These wick well and are comfortable on long rides.
Nothing fancy about this jersey. The fabric is not as soft as some of the more expensive jerseys. Performance and breathability are very good. A great value jersey that is made in the USA!
There are a ton of jersey's out there that are higher quality, but it's hard to find a jersey for this price. I bought a grey one of these. The material isn't anything to brag about, but it's breathable and works just fine. If you're looking for a new jersey and don't want to spend much money, this is a good way to go. After a couple of trips through the washer the white Price Point logo was peeling off. They may have fixed this issue since I bought mine about two years ago, though.
This jersey is as good as any other jersey I own but for a fraction of the price. The orange color is very bright and it can be seen way off in the distance. The rear pockets end up coming aroud the side of the jersey placing the items on the side of your body making it easier to access. Pockets are very deep. I wish they made a full zip jersey.
Great jersey at a great price. Excellent quality, deep rear pockets, quality zipper. I have two of these that are 5 years old and still in my riding kit. recently bought another in a smaller size...
I have the long sleeve version. This jersey is very comfortable and I really like the deep pockets to hold gear.
Nice jersey, well made, good fit, not much difference from the (IMHO) overpriced "brand" named products.

I get bored with my toys sometimes, and I'm mulling over the idea of altering my blowback 7.62x25 AK with the EOD bolt /carrier and magwell, and turning it into a .40 S&W. I have tried the .40's in the PPS43 mags and they look like they will work with only minor modification. I'm just wondering if there are other more appropriate mag choices out there for a .40 S&W based AK? Obviously if there is something better, I don't have to use my EOD magwell.
Anyone ever tried the Suomi drum mags with .40 S&W?

AU to Provide Fellowships for Myanmar Students
Three AU faculty joined a historic delegation of U.S. higher education institutions organized by the Institute of International Education (IIE) that included representatives from ten U.S. schools to visit nine Myanmar universities as part of a broader higher education initiative. Founded in 1919, IIE designs and implements programs of study and training for students, educators, young professionals and trainees from all sectors with funding from government agencies, foundations and corporations.
SIS Professor Pek Koon Heng said, "While political and economic liberalization seem to be making progress, reform of the country's education system – to decentralize its top-down nature, promote English language capacity of its academic faculty, restructure curricula and internationalize course offerings and exchange programs – still must await passage and implementation of its higher-education bill, currently being drafted by the country's legislators."
In Rangoon, Associate Professor and Executive Director of COTELCO and the Institute on Disability and Public Policy (IDPP) for the ASEAN Region Derrick L. Cogburn announced that AU will provide at least two fellowships funded by The Nippon Foundation to qualified students from Myanmar to complete SIS' online master's degree in International Affairs focused on Comparative and International Disability Policy (CIDP). The master's program, which is facilitated by the IDPP, is conducted entirely online with a two-week face-to-face residency in Bangkok this August. The fellowships are available for persons from one of the ten countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), with preference given to students who are blind or visually impaired, deaf or hard of hearing, or mobility impaired.
"The CIDP master's program and fellowships offer exciting and unique opportunities that enable students from around the world to become international disability policy leaders in the public, private, and NGO sectors," said Professor Cogburn.
According to Heng, the fellowships are just the beginning of an educational partnership with Myanmar.
"Looking toward the future," she said, "I anticipate that the keen current interest of AU faculty and students in establishing links with Myanmar institutions may well produce further ideas for grants and fundraising initiatives in such areas as internships, research, teaching and capacity building, with student exchanges perhaps becoming possible over the longer term."

BRAND NAME: Allegra, Allegra Allergy, Allegra Hives, Children's Allegra, Mucinex Allergy
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Fexofenadine is an oral, "second generation" antihistamine that is used to treat the signs and symptoms of allergy and hives. It is similar to the other second generation antihistamines loratadine (Claritin), cetirizine (Zyrtec) and azelastine (Astelin).
Histamine is a chemical that is responsible for many of the signs and symptoms of allergic reactions, for example, swelling of the lining of the nose, sneezing, and itchy eyes. Histamine is released from histamine-storing cells (mast cells) and then attaches to other cells that have receptors for histamine. The attachment of the histamine to the receptors causes the cells to be "activated," releasing other chemicals that produce the effects that we associate with allergy (for example, sneezing). Fexofenadine blocks one type of receptor for histamine (the H1 receptor) and thus prevents activation of H1 receptor-containing cells by histamine. Unlike the first generation antihistamines, fexofenadine and other second-generation antihistamines do not readily enter the brain from the blood. Therefore, they cause less drowsiness and are called non-sedating antihistamines. Fexofenadine was approved by the FDA in July 1995.

Full SubmissionINSTITUTE FOR AGRICULTURE AND TRADE POLICY Submission to the UNCSD Bureau as input to the Zero Draft Outcome Document for the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+2o) Submitted by the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy, USA and Endorsed by over forty Indian national and regional farmers organizations and other civil society organizations Executive summary 1. Agriculture both contributes to and has the potential to help resolve the multiple crises the world faces today. As a sector that supports the livelihoods of the majority of the poor in the world, agriculture has the potential to address not only sustainable development but also lift many millions of people out of poverty. Affirming the inputs provided by hundreds of our ally organizations towards the outcome document, we support the call to locate agro -ecological practices and small farmers at the center of food production in the green economy. This would help us pay equal attention to all three pillars of sustainable development?economic, environmental, and social?in the context of agriculture. 2. Ri0+20 must place realization of the right to water and the right to food at the center of national plans to build a green economy and any future global development framework. Towards this, the outcome document must make explicit references to these rights as it elaborates on the green economy. 3- Rio +20 must address the means to reduce food price volatility, including support for measures to prevent excessive speculation on commodity markets in agriculture and energy derivatives contracts. Rio+ should reduce ambitious targets for biofuels in global frameworks and national plans around the green economy. 4. Ri0+20 must redirect investments towards the greener and more pro-poor options across key economic sectors and the outcome document must support a green economy that works for the poor. 5. Rio+2o must ensure that Precautionary Principle be applied to national and international green economy plans. Twenty years after the Rio Earth Summit, the planet is in a deeper environmental, energy and financial crisis. The period has also seen increasing political and social crisis in many regions. Several leaders have recognized that "business as usual is not an option". We could not agree more, and we have options. General Content Expectations for the outcome of Rio+20: We expect a commitment to poverty eradication, investment in healthy, fair and sustainable food and agricultural systems; commitment to the realization of right to water and realization of right to food; re-affirmation of the principle 15 of agenda 21; commitment to support for measures to curb excessive speculation on commodity markets and reconsideration of ambitious targets for biofuels in the context of sustainable development. Specific Elements of this submission: Endorsing the objective of the conference, our submission focuses on the following sectoral priorities: food security, sustainable agriculture, water, biodiversity and climate change. In addition, we address the challenges and potential of the green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication. With its focus on the green economy, Ri0+20 attempts to address one of the negative consequences of the development path we have followed: environmental degradation. As a market based mechanism that helps address issues related to environmental crisis, it is believed that the green economy will help the world achieve sustainability. This assumption ignores the role of global capital and finance in the continuation of social injustice and creation of the political crisis. A green economy divorced from social, political and financial concerns will not help address the multiple crises the world faces today. In this brief submission we will look at these issues with a focus on the right to water and the right to food, as well as environmentally sustainable, economically viable, socio-economically just food and agricultural systems, with special attention to rights of women, indigenous groups and rural communities. Recalling Resolution 64/236 that describes the focus of the Conference: The focus of the Conference will include the following themes to be discussed and refined during the preparatory process: a green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication and the institutional framework for sustainable development" we suggest the following: 1. Inclusion of agriculture in all its dimensions as a core issue at the UNCSD in Rio and subsequently in global policy and practice. Agriculture sits squarely at the center of the challenges we face in the beginning of this century. Over the last 50 years many nation-states have made amazing progress towards achieving food security. Unprecedented levels of agricultural production ensure that globally we produce enough food to feed humanity. Yet, millions of households and close to a billion individuals remain food insecure. A still larger number, more than double, do not have access to water for meeting basic needs such as sanitation, an essential service by modern standards of development. Also, most of the increase in agricultural productivity has been at the cost of water pollution and depletion, land degradation, global warming and biodiversity loss. It does not have to be this way. The right kind of agricultural and trade policies that support healthier food systems (and accompanying water governance) can not only help us meet challenges in realizing right to water and right to food, but can also ensure biodiversity protection, climate adaptation and emission mitigation. We request that "'Socially just, ecologically sustainable and economically viable agriculture [i.e. agriculture that ensures sustainable development] in the context of poverty eradication and the institutional framework for sustainable development' should be a major focus of this conference. This request accords with submissions mad by over a hundred civil society organizations from around the world. 2. Inclusion of international human rights at the center of future global development frameworks and at the center of national plans around the green economy_ We will focus on right to water and right to food in this submission, but also will refer to a few other rights. A. Right to water The global water crisis has become a powerful symbol of inequality in our world. Diarrhea caused by lack of clean drinking water and sanitation has killed more children than malaria, measles and HIV/ AIDS combined. 4 More people die as a result of polluted water than are killed by all forms of violence including wars. 5 Over 8o percent of people with unimproved drinking water and 70 percent of people without improved sanitation live in rural areas." Most of them live in developing countries and emerging economies. Emphasizing the centrality of access to drinking water and sanitation UNSG's Advisory Board on Water and Sanitation (UNSGAB) calls for the incorporation of water and sanitation in the three pillars of sustainable development: "i). Social: [..] A healthy living environment, one that supports human dignity and is free of disease-transmitting agents and conditions, is impossible if open defecation is widely practiced. Access to safe, clean toilets brings dignity, equity and safety, particularly for women and girls. Toilets and safe water in schools increase attendance, particularly for adolescent girls. Without sanitation and clean water, sustainable development's social objectives remain unmet. 2). Economic: A growing body of empirical evidence shows that poor sanitation and a lack of clean water curbs economic growth. The economic objectives of sustainable development will be greatly advanced by the expansion of basic sanitation services.). Environmental: Clearly, a healthy environment depends on sanitation. [....]."7 We endorse this call to incorporate right to water in the outcome document. Recognizing the importance of sanitation to sustainable development, the World Summit on Sustainable Development agreed in 2002 to include sanitation in the list of targets to achieve Millennium Development Goal 7 on environmental sustainability. Later on, in November 2002 the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights adopted General Comment 15 on the right to water, which elaborated on the international obligations in relation to the right to water and sanitation!' In 2010 the "right to safe and clean drinking water and sanitation" was recognized by the UN General Assembly as "a human right essential to the full enjoyment of life and all other human rights?. The creation of any future global development framework must build on this growing international recognition of the right to water and sanitation. B. Right to fooci According to the World Food Summit Plan of Action (1996), which took place four years after the Earth Summit in Rio, "Food Security exists when all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life". This was followed in 1999 by the General Comment 12 on Right to Food, which elaborated on the international obligations in relation to the right to water. In November 2004, 187 Member States of the General Council of the FAO, adopted the Voluntary Guidelines to Support the Progressive Realization of the Right to Adequate Food in the Context of National Food Security." Realization of the right to food remains a mirage, however. According to the U.N Food and Agriculture Organization, 925 million people in the world suffered from hunger (which is the world's leading health risk) in 2010." At the same time, as a result of unhealthy foods and diets 1.5 billion people were overweight and obese (making it the fifth leading risk for global deaths) in 2008.12 These contradictions are not only a powerful symbol of global inequality, but also indicative of the broken nature of our food and agricultural systems. While the idea of the green economy seeks to address the question of resource Efficiency in agriculture, it has not yet grappled with the challenges and contradictions of our current food and agricultural systems. In this context, the green economy can become more meaningful by emphasizing food sovereignty, which calls for an overall framework for "food and agricultural policies that put the right to sufficient, healthy and culturally appropriate food for all individuals, peoples and communities [....] at the center of food, agriculture, livestock and fisheries policies."" This concept, which has been endorsed by farm organizations around the world, values food providers, localizes food systems, and values the knowledge and skills of small-scale food providers. It works in harmony with nature through using smaller-scale, ecological forms of food provision. Social justice and ecological sensitivity are essential components in this framework. The creation of any future global framework on agriculture and food systems must build on the international recognition of right to food and food sovereignty. C. Inclusion of Rights of Women and Rights of Indigenous Peoples The Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food saw a clear connection between access to water and the right to food. In his preliminary report to the UN General Assembly, in 7001, he pointed out that, "As a component of the right to food, access to safe, clean drinking water and basic irrigation water must be protected under the obligations to respect, protect and fulfill the right to food and through international cooperation." He elaborated: "everyone must have access to drinking water on equal terms and that irrigation water should also be accessible for poor peasants who depend on their land to feed themselves: This focus on water for poor peasants is particularly relevant for farm women's food security. Women play major roles in food production, processing and preparation, and yet a majority of the food insecure are women. The future of agricultural and food systems has to be built on the firm foundation of women's empowerment for it to be sustainable and equitable. Also, as women form a large majority of world's hungry, ensuring the food security of all women requires recognizing women's rights as central to the green economy. The outcome document and national plans that deal with green economy must take cognizance of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), often described as an international bill of rights for women. Similarly, the outcome document must place the implementation of UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples at the center of the green economy.' Across the world, indigenous communities and pastoralists are victims of discrimination, oppression and even expulsion from their home lands and alienation from their livelihoods. Rio+zo should recognize that sustainable development is possible only if the right to food and right to water obligations to these communities are met through the realization of Rights of Indigenous Peoples. 3. Address the means to reduce food price volatility, including support for measures to prevent excessive speculation on commodity markets and reduce ambitious targets for biofuels use Almost 70 percent of the global poor reside in rural areas. In developed countries too, family farmers and rural inhabitants are forced to leave their communities in search of employment. In that context, investments in agriculture and food systems will provide livelihood options for people, allowing them the opportunity to stay in their communities, and meet their food security needs. Proposals for valuing ecosystem services and incentivizing biodiversity protection offer projects for financial flows to rural areas. However, these opportunities also open up the potential for new forms of cornmodification of nature. In the past, cornmodification of nature (be it in the form of food, timber, metals or minerals) has usually resulted in the marginalization of rural communities. Most of the flow of wealth is away from the communities, leaving impoverished communities and devastated natural resources behind. Similar patterns of extractive exploitation have been the norm in international trade too, where countries dependent on exports of primary commodities reap few of the benefits of that production. This extractive form of wealth accumulation has left the large majority of the world's people poorer. Deregulation of the financial sector has increased commodity speculation and derivative trading, which has left those involved in primary production at the mercy of the vagaries of markets driven more by financial speculators than market fundamentals of supply and demand. A report issued in June 2011 by a UNCTAD on the growing influence of financial speculators on commodity markets, including agriculture prices, said: "The 'financialization' of commodity markets has changed trading behaviour and significantly affects the prices of such basic goods as staple foods.'" Volatility has also been increased by new pressures on food stocks, among them rising demand for biofuefs. The recent report on food price volatility by the High Level Panel of Experts explores this issue in detail. That panel, which presented its recommendations at the 17Lb Session of the Committee on Food Security, concluded that both subsidies and the ambitious targets for biofuel use set by the U.S. and European Union should be reconsidered. While the environmental benefits of biofuels are questionable, biofuels development can contribute to improvements in rural livelihoods and farm prices, particularly in the U.S. and Europe, where corporate-driven agriculture policies have historically driven overproduction of commodities, resulting in prices for these crops often dropping below the cost of production. At the same time, profit demands by foreign biofuels investors have contributed to land grabs in developing countries. Subsidies to biofuel production should be immediately eliminated, with funding redirected to agro-ecological production systems that is environmentally and socially sound. Mandates and targets must be reduced based upon realistic and sustainable production levels that prioritize local and domestic food security needs. Volatility could also be ameliorated by new initiatives to advance food reserves. The G20 agriculture and development ministers have endorsed a new initiative to test food reserves in West Africa. This experiment should be expanded, building on recent experiences with food reserves in other countries and regions. 4. Redirect investments towards a green economy that works for the poor: Lessons from carbon markets Every crisis is can be an opportunity for addressing the root causes: he it food crisis, financial crisis or climate crisis. Yet most often the responses tend to be transactional in nature; rarely transformational, and rarely help us move towards solving the crisis itself. The financial flows involved simply benefit global capital. The crisis in the environment (biocliversity, water quality, water availability) has given rise to plans around the green economy. Unless it is a green economy that works for the poor, some of these initiatives around offsets (such as biodiversity derivatives) could further marginalize them. Any definition of the green economy should refrain from projects for environmental offsets, both because of questions around the environmental integrity of such credits and because of the well reported market integrity failures of carbon derivatives markets. For example, carbon offsets, often promoted as the preferred solution for climate change mitigation, attempts to compensate for the scientific uncertainties about carbon sequestration with aggressive accounting methodologies especially if one is to go by the example of the new pilot project to develop an offset market for soil carbon sequestration in Kenya. According to a recent study by IATP, "The World Bank, through its BioCarbon Fund, is showcasing the Kenya Agricultural Carbon Project as an "early action" to demonstrate a "triple win" for mitigation, adaptation and food security for small-scale producers, while delivering carbon finance through the sale of credits in the carbon market. It claims that, The Kenya Agricultural Carbon Project is not only the first project that sells soil carbon credits in Africa, it is also paving the way for a new approach to carbon accounting methodologies." While the project will support improvements in agricultural practices that could -benefit local farmers, the carbon market approach is a very shaky foundation for climate finance. Nearly half of the monetary benefits from the proposed offset credits would be absorbed by project developers as "transaction costs," with miniscule returns to the farmers who would be implementing the project [emphasis added]." An alternative approach should ensure that the funds for incentivizing ecosystem protection are generated through better regulation, and that financial flows woutd actually reach the communities in question, rather than being captured by carbon accountants. Investments in infrastructure development (including in transport, education and health, and those in developing viable livelihood options that are qualitatively at par with urban centers, as desired by these communities) are central to sustainable and equitable development, so that rural areas no longer continue to function as a colonies for meeting the resource needs of urban centers or wealth accumulation of middlemen and intermediaries. The prosperity of the urban areas continues to be often at the cost of rural areas. The poverty of the urban centers is borne by the poor of the rural areas. The emphasis on the green economy, which has emerged in the context of environmental crisis, has the potential to either become yet another route for capital accumulation of the few, or, done right, it has the potential to charter a new path towards equitable development which puts rural areas and urban poor at the center of future development efforts. Rio must commit public finances not only towards incentivizing environmental protection but also towards enhancing rural services delivery. We call on Ri0+20 to ensure that the outcome document support a green economy that works for the poor. In addition to the above, we endorse the calls made by other civil society organizations, in asking Rio+20 to recognize the reformed UN Committee on World Food Security (CPS), as the primary mechanism with mandate for identifying current deficiencies and shortcomings that impede the implementation of existing plans and proposals on sustainable agriculture and food. We recommend that Rio+20 select for implementation policy options approved by more than 50 governments and outlined in the reports of International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology for Development (IAASTD), within the mandate to develop a work plan for implementing the decisions of UNCSD 2012. We also endorse the call by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), to redirect investments toward the greener and more pro-poor options across key economic sectors. The submission elaborates on a green economy which works for the world 's poor as one that would: 1. maintain growth while reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the economy as a whole, and promote job creation and other economic opportunities in key economic sectors that predominantly employ the poor 2. generate more public revenues to enable investment in environment-friendly quality services, to which the poor would have equitable access; 3. retain biocliversity and ecosystem services, while also maintaining the livelihoods of the poor and creating opportunities for local sustainable enterprises to thrive; 4. promote equitable access to energy and its efficient use; 5. build resilience to economic, social, environmental and other risks; 6. empower the poor Qnd marginalized, including women and indigenous peoples, to play an active role in the investment decisions that have an effect on their well-being; 7. pursue pro-poor environmental fiscal and financial tools, including financing mechanisms that benefit local communities. We wish to conclude by drawing attention to some principles that we must revisit and inform Rio+2o. Some of the assumptions we made regarding our ability to manage environmental risks related to economic growth have proven to be wrong. But some of the key principles that were adopted during the Earth Summit, such as the Precautionary Principle, must be reaffirmed in Ri0+20 as central to future global development framework." Central to the precautionary principle is the element of anticipation; other important elements include - plausible threats of harm, lack of scientific certainty, as well as precautionary actions which take a long-tern-i approach and which might anticipate changes on the basis of current scientific knowledge. An example of this is the civil society call to include, technology assessment based on the precautionary principle with full civil society participation to assess the social and environmental impacts, on the agenda for Ri0+20. Most importantly Ri0+20 must recognize that we have an obligation to prevent harm to the commons that we hold in trust for future generations and that governments, in consultation with communities have a key role to play in protecting the commons, and in doing this they should be guided by ethics rather than by profits.

GE Healthcare said today it will provide sequencing services to a research group at Karolinska Institutet, in the company's first large-scale sequencing agreement in Europe. The value of the services was not disclosed.
The first clinical study to use GE Healthcare sequencing technology will focus on identifying mutations and genetic variants associated with metastatic breast cancer, the company said. The large, cohort study will be conducted using tissue samples provided by Karolinska Institutet and analyzed using GE Healthcare's next generation sequencing (NGS) capabilities.
"While antibody-based analysis of biomarkers are the cornerstone to diagnosing breast cancer, uncovering the broader molecular landscape of complex cancers using genome-wide screening tools such as NGS, will be critical to the future of therapeutic decision making and new therapeutic development," Ger Brophy, GE Healthcare's CTO, Life Sciences, said in a statement.
GE Healthcare said its agreement with Karolinska Institutet was part of the company's commitment, announced in September 2011, to spend $1 billion of its total R&D budget over the following five years toward expanding its advanced cancer diagnostic and molecular imaging capabilities, as well as toward its technologies for biopharmaceutical manufacturing and cancer research.
The commitment came a year after GE Healthcare expanded into molecular diagnostics, through its 2010 acquisition of Clarient Diagnostic Services, whose services and diagnostic technologies were focused on cancer assessment and characterization. Last year, GE Healthcare acquired SeqWright, a provider of nucleic acid sequencing and other genomic services, with the goal of boosting Clarient's genomics capabilities.
Also in 2012, GE Healthcare Life Sciences and Karolinska University Hospital launched a collaboration to develop technologies and workflows to apply cell therapies routinely in a clinical setting. The partnership's goal is to address the need for reproducible technologies in areas such as cell growth, handling, processing, and analysis, as well as protocols and workflows for manufacturing and quality control.
In the latest agreement, GE Healthcare will provide the services through a subsidiary specializing in nucleic acid sequencing and other genomic services, SeqWright Genomic Services.

If you missed Tastemakers 2013, here's your video recap of all the amazing dishes you missed during the two-day food and wine tasting event. If you made it to Tastemakers, have fun reminiscing about the Salt Lake City's best dining event.
The sold out event hosted local restaurants, tempting our taste buds with one of their favorite dishes on May 30 and 31.
Guest lined up throughout the Gallivan Avenue to enjoy drinks from Squatters and Wasatch Brewing, tastes from local restaurants and music by Conn Curran and The Rob Bennion Band. A VIP section was set up with exclusive tastes from Roots Cafe, Saffron Valley, Frida Bistro and Aristo's. Ten restaurants were featured in a downtown stroll.
Don't worry if you're feeling left out and hungry because you missed this year's event. Tastemakers will return next year with new and interesting tastings to kick off your summer.

"This was a good! It lacked extra flavor. I added cheddar cheese on top of the soup and used celery instead of the mixed veggies. It was still delicious, but I would have liked a little more flavor."

text: 11.08.13 Get to Know Our Tax Pros - Jimmy Halliburton We asked some of our Tax Pros from all across the country the same set of questions to get to know them better. Here's what Jimmy Halliburton of Temple, Texas, had to say. (You may recognize Jimmy from our Tax School commercials!) What do you love about Jackson Hewitt? How long have you worked here? Why do you stay? I love everything about Jackson Hewitt! I love the professional atmosphere, positive training environment, and most of all the clients. I've worked here for two years. I stay because it is my duty to be here for my clients. Tax season is like an anniversary, both parties can't wait to see each other for this special occasion. What did you do before you prepared taxes/started working with Jackson Hewitt? reviously, I worked as Operations Manager for a contractor for the Department of Defense and I was also a college instructor. What do you when you're not preparing taxes? I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, listening to or writing music, and definitely Texas football. In between these activities, I like to read and listen to motivational speakers. Why did you first start preparing taxes? How did you get into the business? I took to preparing taxes as a way to make supplemental income. As I learned more, I realized that I might just want to do this full time. Now, I can't imagine my life not involving taxes. I was introduced to taxes by a friend of mine. He thought that I would be good since I always loved talking numbers. After some extra motivation from my wife, I signed up and completed Tax School. What's your best/favorite customer story? My favorite story involves a woman who recently lost her husband. He handled all of their finances through their marriage. She was very concerned because she was not fully mobile and she did not know where to begin. They were prior clients of ours, so I felt obligated to go above and beyond to help her. I went to her home and sat with her to discuss all of the documents she needed to file. We completed all of her tax prep in the office and took her the documents to sign. She was so happy. Now she calls from time to time just to see how I am doing. It's great when something you do for someone has a real impact. If you could tell taxpayers one thing what would it be? We pride ourselves on making sure all of your tax needs are met in a friendly professional environment. Let's sit down and discuss how WE can be of service to you! Check out more of what Jimmy has to say on our YouTube page.

I'm not a big gum chewer. I don't know what it is about the stuff: the excessive chewing, the transient flavor, or the lack of swallowing. There's just something about gum that doesn't sit right with me. I'm not even that interested the potential breath freshening that so many chew gum for in the first place. I'd rather have a mint.
I cannot really explain why I picked these up. Morbid curiosity perhaps? I can't remember the shopping trip in detail, as it easily could have been an act of desperation since I didn't find anything in the candy aisle that was new. Looking at the boxes once I was at home, I felt better about my purchase. With words such as "New!" and "Sensations" written on it, how bad could it be? Artificial sweeteners aside, the design coaxed me into thinking I'd actually enjoy this gum.
The packages are set up unlike any gum I've had before (even though that doesn't say much). The flap opens at the top and folds nicely inwards, revealing the rows of full sized sticks of gum. They're immediately fragrant, just begging to be chewed.
Strawberry Banana: Very powerful on the banana end with the tell tale starchy sweetness. The strawberry is fresh and adds a nice tart berry edge.
Berry Paradise: I was pleased by how flavorful this was. I got strong notes of pear and blackberries and enjoyed how distinguishable they were.
Sweet Watermelon: Wow, this flavor is so juicy! It has that standard artificial watermelon flavor with those odd tangy floral flavors, but it's mellowed by the rush of saliva that the chewing creates.
I liked the watermelon best out of the three even though the flavor isn't unique to the Fruit Sensations line, which is usually a big selling point for me. The flavors lasted a decent length of time in my mouth, so I felt satisfied in that regard. Still, as nice as the flavors were, something about this still doesn't catch me. I feel I am forever doomed in regard to gum appreciation, so I encourage those of you who do love the stuff, these are worth giving a try.
Rating: Not Worth It

A Good Cop Steps Up
Albany County Sheriff's Deputy Stan Lenic understands the Constitution, and his stand on its behalf has made him an overnight Internet sensation.
Lenic was called in to the Albany (N.Y.) International Airport last week to resolve a growing confrontation between the airport's PR hack Doug Myers and a couple of activists handing out flyers informing airline passengers of their right to opt out of the airport's naked body scanners. Myers tried to get them to stop handing out flyers and videotaping their activities.
Myers made the two move to a new location then accused them of blocking traffic while standing where he told them to stand. In an obvious intimidation tactic, Myers demanded their identification — even though videographer Jason Bermas gave Myers his name several times — and told Lenic to get their IDs and, with a wink, said to give their information to him. Lenic told Myers the two did not have to produce IDs.
"Obviously this is your Constitutional right, okay?" Lenic told Ashley Jessica and Jason Bermas. "As far as you're concerned, you're not breaking any laws. That's what I want to get across to you guys."
After Bermas posted the video to YouTube, it went viral. The Albany County Sheriff's Department began getting calls and emails from across the Nation commending Lenic's actions in defense of the 1st Amendment. A Facebook page for Lenic was up within hours.
Lenic got it right and deserves all the accolades he receives for his actions.

Celebrity involvement in public health campaigns – does it ever deliver long term benefits?
In the past, celebrities have been hired by governments to front public health campaigns. They have been hired on the premise that they may be able to connect with the masses.
Then you have celebrity chefs, like Jamie Oliver who tried to revolutionise school dinners in the UK and US, with mixed success and Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall who has promoted sourcing local produce or even going vegetarian. But how much really changes?
I'm slightly cynical when celebrities get involved. I believe they are there just for the pay cheque and their involvement has no real lasting benefit, because a lot of these celebs have mostly ephemeral careers – how can we expect their message to stick? http://bit.ly/xWtxRF
However, I am more sympathetic with Jamie Oliver who has campaigned a lot for school dinners to be more healthy and gone some way in educating people. Food is just one area, but what about other health-related endorsements by celebrities – how much really changes in the end?

I just can't bear it. I mean, I'm really glad to have the kids in school, and out from under my feet, but I can't start thinking about fall...not just yet! Does the return of school have to mean the end of this?Or this???
Or what about this??? (please no!)
Don't get me wrong...normally I love fall, when it comes. But when I went into the fabric store the other day and saw pumpkins and scarecrows and fall wreaths and garlands everywhere, and I found myself wandering in a fog of deep oranges, golds and browns, I sort of freaked out! I'm just not ready! I still want to wear flip-flops and cut-offs. I still want to feel the warm breeze and smell the chlorine in my kid's hair. I can't go near a bowl of soup, I feel a little queezy when I think of pumpkin anything, I still want to barbeque everything in sight, the thought of hauling out my fall door wreath has me nauseous, and PLEASE...Do not talk to me about what you want to be for Halloween.
Does anyone out there feel my pain???

School Started, does that mean no more summer???

Yes, the summer, here, is bittersweet. I long for a bit of routine in our lives and an end to the bickering between the kids, but I love summer heat, love summer foods, love sitting in the sun. Not quite ready to stick on shoes and long pants (though I hope it will be a while).

As our middle child left this morning attired in jeans and T-shirt, closed in shoes (what happened to the flip flops she's been wearing since April?) I shook my head as the weatherman was predicting temps in the 90s!!!! I totally agree with you - pls don't talk to me about fall until early October!!!! I'm missing the kidlets already... :(

I share your pain!!! We haven't had much of a summer here, I'm still waiting for it! I'm so NOT ready to see fall decor and halloween gobbly gook in the stores! I'm not ready to retire my flip flops. I'm longing for lemonade on the front porch still, and quiet evenings on the back patio. A dip in the pool. Not trick or treating decor, and stew in the crock pot. Ugh.

I feel your pain. And i had the same feeling when i went into our fabric store. Its not that i was disgusted with the halloween prints at all - i do like it. BUT it was a reminder that my summer was ending!! I'm someone who grew up with sunshine all year long (Hawaii), and now that I'm living in OR - my months are spent in jeans, sweaters, and shoes... lol

Both highschoolers are in school today and it is quiet around here. College girl is a quiet person and will stay in the room with me playing her music and working on her laptop....she will be gone this weekend, back to college. I am sooooo proud of them.....and am sooooo looking forward to the days of solitude and sewing!!!! lol.... oh by the way....have you seen the Christmas stuff yet?

Lila, I love fall and even got out my fall bag that you made. I am sad that I only kept a winter and a fall bag. I thought you would continue making them,so I gave the rest away to friends and family. If you ever get in the mood to make more I will buy them. It was so fun to go out with you and Hal a few days ago. You are one of our favorite couples to hang with. it make me feel younger being with the young. You two are a great example of loving and caring parents. We love you and appreciate you.

That is a FABULOUS idea! Andrea, are you game? I won't be much of a bother, me and all my depressed friends, we'll just show up at mealtime, and maybe to take a shower.Oh, and to sleep. Other than that we will just be outdoors enjoying an extended summer vacation in your part of the world.
