Radiation therapy uses high-energy radiation to shrink tumors and kill cancer cells. X-rays, gamma rays, and charged particles are types of radiation used for cancer treatment. About half of all cancer patients receive some type of radiation therapy sometime during the course of their treatment.
Radiation therapy kills cancer cells by damaging their DNA (the molecules inside cells that carry genetic information and pass it from one generation to the next). Radiation therapy can also damage normal cells, leading to side effects. Doctors take potential damage to normal cells into account when planning a course of radiation therapy. The amount of radiation that normal tissue can safely receive is known for all parts of the body. Doctors use this information to help them decide where to aim radiation during treatment.
The radiation may be delivered by a machine outside the body (external-beam radiation therapy), or it may come from radioactive material placed in the body near cancer cells (internal radiation therapy, also called brachytherapy).
Patients usually receive external-beam radiation therapy in daily treatment sessions (10-15 minutes each) over the course of several weeks. The number of treatment sessions depends on many factors, including the total radiation dose that will be given. There are a few different techniques that may be used in the delivery of external-beam radiation therapy:
Internal radiation therapy (brachytherapy) is radiation delivered from radiation sources (radioactive materials) placed inside or on the body. Permanent interstitial brachytherapy uses radiation sources about the thickness of a pencil lead placed within tumor tissue, such as within a prostate tumor. The sources are surgically sealed within the body and left there, even after all of the radiation has been given off. The remaining material (in which the radioactive isotopes were sealed) does not cause any discomfort or harm to the patient.

Our modern, refined, low-fiber diet can lead to a slow, clogged colon where toxic gunk like preservatives, pesticides or undigested food can build up. Consuming healthy types of fiber can speed up a slow colon, help eliminate toxins, add bulk to your stool and prevent harmful straining during bowel movements. Consume at least 25-35 grams of fiber and have several bowel movements a day.
Here are a few of our favorite fibers
Psyllium Husks
Psyllium husks come from the covering of seeds grown on the Plantago ovata plant. This portion of the plant is almost all soluble fiber -- the type of fiber that provides the majority of health benefits. It works by absorbing up to 50 times its weight in water, helping create bulkier, softer stools that pass more quickly through the colon, which helps ease occasional constipation.*
Psyllium is rich in the gelatinous, water-absorbing substance called mucilage. Since it has the ability to absorb 10-50 times its weight in water, it contributes to a subjective feeling of fullness. Studies show it may help reduce the consumption of fat and calories, and may contribute to weight loss.*
Fitness Labs and Lindberg Psyllium Husks are pure and have nothing else added. Most drug store brands of psyllium contain sugars, artificial sweeteners and artificial colors to make it taste good.
Try Fitness Labs Psyllium Husks Powder which provides 3 grams of fiber per teaspoon. Or, try Lindberg Psyllium Husks which provides 4 grams of fiber per tablespoon.
To maximize it's water-absorbing properties, mix quickly and drink psyllium husks with plenty of water or juice, as this thickens up quickly. Take daily either in the morning, evening or between meals and drink plenty of water throughout the day.
Lindberg Super Colon Health contains psyllium, fiber, prebiotics and probiotics for those looking for a complete formula designed to support a healthy colon and maintain regularity.* Psyllium husks, oat bran and apple pectin help sweep waste out of the colon.* Plant-sourced prebiotics from beta-glucan soluble fiber, red beet and inulin create a healthy "matrix" for probiotic bacteria to flourish.*

Rehabilitation is the process of helping an individual achieve the highest level of independence and quality of life possible - physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. Rehabilitation does not reverse or undo the damage caused by a stroke, but rather helps restore the individual to optimal health, functioning, and well-being. Rehabilitate (from the Latin "habilitas") means "to make able again."
The stroke rehabilitation team revolves around the patient and family. The team helps set short- and long-term treatment goals for recovery and is made up of many skilled professionals, including the following:
The outlook for stroke patients today is more hopeful than ever due to advances in both stroke treatment and rehabilitation. Stroke rehabilitation works best when the patient, family, and rehabilitation staff works together as a team. Family members must learn about impairments and disabilities caused by the stroke and how to help the patient achieve optimal function again.
Rehabilitation medicine is designed to meet each person's specific needs; thus, each program is different. Some general treatment components for stroke rehabilitation programs include the following:
The success of stroke rehabilitation depends on many variables, including the following:

Rated 5 out of 5 by Love96761 Adore this one! Amazing fragrance! Sometimes candles can give me a headache with a synthetic like perfume. This one is absolutely divine. Beautiful quality, and the scent of tuberose is spot on. Making my second purchase for this candle today. December 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by jjflamingo intoxicating scent! The French Bougie Parfumee candle in the tuberose scent is the most wonderful thing ever! I smelled it in the store, and for some reason did not buy it. I could not get it out of my mind, and then I got an email from World Market offering me a discount on my first purchase. I bought one, then a couple of days later, got an email that all candles were on sale and free shipping was being offered for the holidays! So I ordered 3 more! Unfortunately, they sold out quickly, and I only received one more. I will be sure to order again when they are back in stock!! December 22, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by flo628 Cheap Candle The smell doesn't really penetrate from this candle- and it burns fast. Definitely a cheap candle- I'd spend more money for more smell and longer lasting wax! Smells good though. January 24, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by ccny Disappointing This smelled wonderful in the store. How disappointing that when lit it had absolutely no fragrance. If I lived near a store (traveling when purchased), I would return it. May 11, 2013

La Monnaie ¦ Recitals ¦ Marie-Nicole Lemieux ¦ Intro
Marie-Nicole Lemieux
Il Barocco Italiano
Thanks to passionate experts of baroque like Andrea Marcon, the last decades we have rediscovered many previously unknown works by the prolific Antonio Vivaldi, including sacred songs as well as twenty-odd operas which contain some marvellous arias. The lyrical repertoire of the Venetian composer perfectly suits Marie-Nicole Lemieux, whose fiery temperament is exceeded only by her vocal richness and skill. As well as her magnificent performances of Nisi Dominus and Stabat Mater, this Canadian contralto gave a concert performance of the title role in Griselda and recently delivered a memorable stage version of Orlando furioso, lending her full and deep timbre to the 'male' role of the knight, Orlando. There can be no doubt that her Vivaldi recital with the Venice Baroque Orchestra will be full of lively surprises.

On December 16, 1949, guitarist Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top was born in Texas. Together with bassist Dusty Hill and drummer Frank Beard, Gibbons launched ZZ Top, as the group shared a passion for such blues masters as 2012 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Freddie King, Lightnin' Hopkins, Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker. From the beginning, they took a hard-rocking power-trio approach to the blues, cultivating a new audience for it in the Seventies and Eighties with superior musicianship as well as attitude, style and some devilishly funny songs. They have written about fast cars, fishnet stockings, sharp clothes, TV dinners, cheap sunglasses and "tush."
"Rock and roll was certainly considered for so long… the stepchild that didn't have any place to go and yet at the same time it was probably the underlining current carrier that so many people depended on," said Gibbons in a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame interview. Gibbons translated his love of basic blues, boogie, rock and all things Texas-related into the no-frills approach to songwriting that guided ZZ Top's earliest albums, and evolved into a sound that also embraced a union of Texas blues and Memphis soul. Tres Hombres' (1973) key track, "La Grange," was a growling boogie about the same place celebrated in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. Tres Hombres reached Number Eight and became the first in an unbroken string of 11 gold and platinum albums. The next two albums - Fandango! (1975) and Tejas (1977) - hit Number 10 and Number 17, respectively. Fandango! yielded the hard-driving "Tush," which became ZZ Top's first Top Forty single. Eliminator, whose title and cover were inspired by Gibbons' hot-rodded '34 Ford coupe, became one of the biggest albums of the decade, selling more than 10 million copies. Three of its songs - "Gimme All Your Lovin'" (Number 37), "Sharp Dressed Man" and "Legs" (Number 8) - were radio, video and club hits. With its leggy, model-strewn video, "Legs" remains the biggest single of ZZ Top's career. And after more than three decades of playing together, Gibbons and company are still at it.
ZZ Top was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, and the band delivered an electrifying performance that included "La Grange" and "Tush."

Don't use "Mike Woodson" and "defensive coach" in the same sentence in front of Mike D'Antoni.
The Knicks' head coach doesn't want to hear it.
"He's a basketball coach, OK?" an annoyed D'Antoni said when asked about Woodson's role. "I keep saying it. Hopefully one of these days it will get through. We're not football. We don't have [separate coaches for] offense and defense."
That may be true. But so far, Woodson has played the part of defensive coordinator for the Knicks.
On the court and in the film room during training camp, Woodson talks to players about defense; D'Antoni sticks to offense.
"I can't step on his toes too much," D'Antoni said.
It makes for a strange scene on the practice court at times, Woodson on the floor talking to players while D'Antoni stands on the sideline.
But, D'Antoni insists that it's working well -- so far.
"He is a great coach and hopefully his voice will help," he said.
The Knicks reportedly were searching for a defensive-minded coach to add in the offseason. So they turned to Woodson, hiring the former Hawks head coach as an assistant in late August.
"I'm just a coach that's looking for an opportunity. I have experience and I'm just excited about the opportunity," Woodson said at the time. "That's all a coach in this league can ask for."
Woodson faces a tough task this winter. He has 16 days of training camp to turn around a Knicks club that ranked 26th in opponent field goal percentage last year and allowed an average of 45.4 points in the paint, the fifth-highest total in the league.
With 7-1 Tyson Chanlder in tow, those numbers should improve.
If so, Woodson will likely get credit.
But if the defense struggles again, does D'Antoni get the blame? The lame-duck coach would be an easy target.
But no one at Knicks camp is worried about that right now.
With just nine practices left before the season opener, Amare Stoudemire insists the focus in camp is on clamping down at the defensive end.
"That's what the goals are right now ... to become known as a defensive team," Stoudemire said.
To get there, they will have to listen to Woodson. They just can't call him a defensive coach.
The First Ripple?
Mike, your teams have always sucked at defense, deal with it. Someone needed to be brought in to sew up the holes in your strategy.
If he's not a defensive coach, then you're not an offensive one.
Guarantee this'll get Melrose Place within not too long.


text: A heart attack is a layperson's term for a sudden blockage of a coronary artery. This blockage, which doctors call a coronary artery occlusion, may be fatal, but most patients survive it. Death can occur when the occlusion leads to an abnormal heartbeat (severe arrhythmia) or death of heart muscle (extensive myocardial infarction). In both of these situations, the heart can no longer pump blood adequately to supply the brain and other organs of the body. Almost all heart attacks occur in people who have coronary artery disease (coronary atherosclerosis).

Juanita Ortiz
Rebecca Landsberg Anchor link to John Martin video Professor Ortiz on making connections with students
Meet Juanita Ortiz
Assistant Professor,
Criminal Justice
- B.A., Political Science, University of Oklahoma, 2002
- B.A., Sociology, University of Oklahoma, 2002
- M.A., Sociology with emphases in Criminology & Stratification, University of Oklahoma, 2004
- Ph.D., Sociology with emphases in Criminology & Stratification, University of Oklahoma, 2010
- I grew up in Texas and Oklahoma, and I originally went to college to become a lawyer. However, I took a criminology class as an elective the year that I was supposed to graduate with my bachelor's degree, and I liked it so much that I decided to get a minor in Sociology, My ultimate goal as a professor is to encourage social responsibility among each of my students. prolonging my bachelor's degree completion. However, after I'd completed my minor courses, I realized I liked it too much to quit there, so I went ahead and earned the degree in Sociology as well as Political Science. I received a great fellowship offer to attend graduate school at OU, so I thought I'd take advantage of that opportunity and then go on to earn my J.D. I was always terrified of speaking in front of any group, so I never saw myself teaching. However, that was a requirement of my doctoral program, so I had no choice. I grew physically sick before my first few class sessions, but then I discovered that I liked the interaction with the students! I thus "accidentally" discovered my love of teaching, and I have never re-thought my original goal of becoming a lawyer! I moved to Springfield in August 2008 to pursue my first full-time position out of graduate school at OU. I am happily married to my husband, Robert, and we have a very spoiled chihuahua named Oreo.
Interesting facts:
- I am very proud of the fact that both of my parents came from Mexico, worked as migrant workers and my father later as a custodian, and raised me and my six siblings to be successful professionals. I was the first person in my entire extended family to graduate from high school and to complete a college education. My native language was Spanish, so I did not speak English until I was about seven years old, and I only learned it by being completely immersed in English-only classes at school and church! I thus really enjoy my work as the faculty co-sponsor of the Organization of Latin American Students (OLAS) at UIS, as this group keeps me involved with my Hispanic culture. Other random facts about me are that I do not like fancy food, and I love reality television for the opportunity that it gives me to observe people.
Learning philosophy:
- My ultimate goal as a professor is to encourage social responsibility among each of my students. While I challenge each student to realize their fullest critical thinking abilities, I also ask students to consider how their newfound knowledge can be used to improve the society around them. It's not enough for me to have my students walk away with just knowledge of the course's subject matter—I want my students to actively seek out opportunities for making positive change among the individuals and communities surrounding them. I work to foster this social responsibility among my students each semester by introducing challenging reading and discussions involving relevant current issues; showing important documentaries about the issues we're considering; bringing community professionals into the class as guest lecturers; assigning projects in the local community that require the application of course objectives; and taking my classes on field trips to give them personal, interactive experiences with the groups that we are learning about.
Research interests:
- I love to study anything that involves the way that gender/sex, race/ethnicity, and social class affect one's experiences with crime and the criminal justice system. I also focus my research efforts on women prisoners' reentry and recidivism, to understand the challenges that female offenders face upon their release from prison and what can be done to prevent their returning to prison. I am especially interested in the study of females and crime because of the historic disregard of girls and women as victims, offenders, and professionals in the criminal justice system. I want to contribute to the realization and addressing of these girls' and women's needs before their incarceration, but, if that is not possible, then during and after their incarceration.
Major project underway:
- I am currently working with Susan Sharp, from the University of Oklahoma, on research articles focusing on the application of feminist criminological theory to female inmates' experiences with recidivating. We are also conducting research combining qualitative and quantitative examinations of the specific challenges affecting reentering female offenders.
Listen to Professor Ortiz talk about connecting with students:
Advice to prospective students:
- My greatest piece of advice would be for you to attend class every day, and to do so prepared. If you show up every day, and you have the background for that day's lecture through the completion of reading and other assignments, you are significantly contributing toward your success in college. Another priceless piece of advice is for you to get involved on campus. Make an effort to join student and campus groups, as the college experience is more than just learning in the classroom—it's also about learning about yourself and your interests, while establishing helpful connections around the University. Finally, ask for help as soon as you see yourself needing it.
Best thing about UIS:
- Two things are tied for me, in terms of being the best things about UIS. First, I think every person on campus enjoys great access to faculty, staff, administrators, and students who sincerely care about your success at UIS. Seriously, there has not been a challenge I have met at UIS or even in Springfield that a faculty or staff member, an administrator, or even a student has not helped me to overcome (except for my search for authentic homemade flour tortillas!). You will therefore have plenty of support at UIS, whatever you're doing here. Secondly, the small class sizes at UIS are an amazing benefit for everyone at UIS. The students benefit from the professors' ability to know them and their strengths and weaknesses personally, to ensure that they have the best possible learning experience within each class.

ZF-3374: Fatal error when Zend_Search_Lucene can't delete an index file
Zend search lucene gives a fatal error occasionally when it can't delete an index file. An error occurs on Zend\Search\Lucene\Storage\Directory\Filesystem.php on line 215.
The problem is probably with the statement
throw $e;
and this should be removed.
r8564 resolved the bug, but it has not been merged to 1.5.2 branch (as well as others regarding the same file) You can get a clean copy from trunk, 1.5.3 will integrate these patches ( 8564 to 8568 ), sorry about that.
Fixed for the release-1.5 branch with the CS-9683.

Fort Collins bike builders hit handmade bike show
Submitted by David on
They are the unsung heroes of the bike world. The guys who sit quietly behind their workbench taking a backseat to the athletes in the spotlight who perform jumps, flips and tricks. But without them the bike world wouldn't be the same. They are the bike builders, and next weekend is dedicated to them. Friday, the nation's bicycle building community will converge on Denver for the North American Handmade Bicycle Show, or NAHBS, and Fort Collins' bike builders will be in attendance. The show started in Houston in 2005, with 23 exhibitors and 700 attendees as a showcase of bike frame builders and a sharing of ideas around the two-wheeled work of art. Over the years, the show has grown and changed to include 174 exhibitors and 8,100 attendees in 2012. This year the event lands in Denver with nearly 160 exhibitors, 30 from Colorado. The core mission of shining a light on the builder remains the same. Fort Collins exhibitors at NAHBS this weekend include Black Sheep Bikes, Boo Bicycles, YiPsan Bicycles and Cantitoe Road.

If Mr. Palmer is out there listening -- or anybody else for that matter -- there is currently a right side Big Twin flathead case for sale on Ebay. I checked with the seller and he told me the line-bore number on it was "40 **** A". So, I assume that it is a 1940 motor, but what about the "A" ending? Given that olive-drab paint is still visible on the half-case, does the "A" indicate "Army"? Do the "A" endings on line-bore numbers correlate in any way with UA military motors or is it something else?
Thanks in advance,

While I played Soccer in High School I will admit that my knowledge of the professional game is limited as names such as Pele, Beckham, and Donovan are the players that I would be able to identify the easiest. Regardless of your level of skill and experience, FIFA 14 has something for you from eye-popping graphics to the most realistic action and player options of any soccer game to date. (more…)

Murray Arnold, former DeLand High, Stetson basketball coach, dies
Published: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 7:29 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 7:29 p.m.
DELAND — Murray Arnold began his career as a head basketball coach at DeLand High in 1960. He ended it 40 years later at Stetson.
Murray Arnold Highlights
1957-60: Assistant coach at DeMatha Catholic High (Md.)
1960-66: DeLand High head coach (won Class A state championship in 1963)
1966-68: Longwood Lyman High head coach
1969-70: Florida State graduate assistant
1970-78: Birmingham Southern head coach (159-74 record)
1978-79: Mississippi State assistant
1979-85: Tennessee-Chattanooga head coach (135-46 record)
1985-86: Chicago Bulls assistant coach
1986-90: Western Kentucky head coach (71-54 record)
1992-93: Perth head coach (Australian National Basketball League)
1994-95: Okaloosa-Walton Community College* head coach (won junior-college national championship)
1997-2000: Stetson head coach (42-47 record)
* — now called Northwest Florida State College
In between, Arnold coached high school, college and pro teams on three continents. He won 244 games as an NCAA Division I head coach. He coached Michael Jordan as an assistant with the Chicago Bulls in 1985-86. And he is fondly remembered in the coaching profession as having one of the brightest basketball minds in the game.
Arnold, 74, died Tuesday evening at Good Samaritan Florida Lutheran in DeLand.
Arnold coached DeLand High in 1960-66, winning the school's only boys basketball state championship in 1963. He returned to DeLand in 1997 when he was hired as Stetson's head coach.
Arnold compiled a 42-47 record in three-plus seasons with the Hatters, retiring because of health reasons eight games into the 2000-01 season amid an NCAA inquiry. The program was later put on two years probation for various NCAA violations under his watch.
"He was not in real good health all along,'' said Stetson's all-time winningest coach, Glenn Wilkes, who met Arnold when he coached at DeLand in the '60s.
"He was a very, very outstanding coach. One of the best I've ever known,'' Wilkes said. "He really had a lot of respect among coaches around the country. I can't think of anyone else who loved basketball as much as him.
"I went down to see him in hospice care Monday afternoon and he was very weak, but when I started telling him the scores, I can't tell you how much his face lit up.''
Arnold was born March 4, 1938, in University Park, Md. He attended American University in Washington, D.C., and started coaching the JV team at DeMatha Catholic High in Hyattsville, Md., under legendary coach Morgan Wooten when he was still a student in 1957.
After graduation, Arnold was hired at DeLand, where he compiled a record of 98-50 in six seasons, winning the state title in his third year.
George Raveling, the former head coach at Washington State, Iowa and Southern California, said Arnold had one of the "most unique'' basketball minds in the country.
"He always saw the game through a different lens than the everyday basketball coach,'' said Raveling, who is now the director of international basketball at Nike. "I think his contributions to the game have been insurmountable.
"The game lost a great mentor, teacher, leader, coach and innovator in Murray Arnold.''
Raveling said when he wrote a book on rebounding, Arnold came up with the title, "War on the Boards.''
I've known Murray for 40 years,'' Raveling said. "We mentored each other.''
Arnold also stayed close through the years with former Florida State and Georgia coach Hugh Durham, who was the first college coach to give Arnold a job. Arnold coached FSU's freshman team as a graduate assistant in 1969. Three years later that group went to the Final Four.
"We offered Murray a full-time job (in 1970). But he took the Birmingham Southern head job instead,'' Durham said. "Looking back on it, it was probably a great decision for him, but not for us.''
"I thought he was one of the really outstanding basketball coaches,'' Durham added. "He won everywhere. He won championships in high school, junior college and pros. But having said that, he was a quality, quality individual.''
Arnold led Birmingham Southern to three NAIA national tournament appearances in eight seasons (1970-78). He also won four Southern Conference titles in six seasons at Tennessee-Chattanooga (1979-85) and won a Sun Belt Conference championship during a four-year stint at Western Kentucky (1986-90).
Arnold also led Okaloosa-Walton Community College (now Northwest Florida State College) to the national championship in 1995 and coached Perth to the Australian National Basketball League championship in 1992.
"You could go through all that he accomplished,'' Durham said. "But he used to say, 'The one thing that's unique about me is I don't think anybody else has ever been fired on three continents.' ''
Arnold retired from coaching after he stepped down at Stetson, but basketball continued to be a daily part of his life until the day he died, Wilkes said.
"He watched games at (Daytona State), Rollins, UCF — all over, and I went with him to a lot of them,'' Wilkes said. "But I couldn't keep up with him. He watched a lot of teams practice. He went to Florida's practices, UCF's practices. It was like he was preparing for his next coaching career.''

CRISIS GURU Judy Smith knows her way out of catastrophe. She's counseled the embattled, from Monica Lewinsky to Michael Vick, and advised players in such scandals as Enron and Iran-contra. This month she brings her PR balm to the masses with Good Self, Bad Self (Free Press), an advice book, and Scandal, an ABC series starring Kerry Washington that's based on Smith's high-powered crisis-management firm. Here, Smith's take on three common dilemmas.
Announcing a divorce "You want people to hear it from you, not the gossip mill, so tell them yourself. Then take your time before dating. Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, for example, have been photographed with younger dates. They seem to be in a battle to show one another, 'I'm so over you.' That doesn't make either of them look good."
Getting fired "Sometimes you know when things aren't going well at your job. So protect your reputation by resigning rather than waiting to be fired. It'll be better when you go out into the marketplace to find a new job. A controversial option: Own it. When Carol Bartz was fired from Yahoo!, she publicly admitted, 'Yep, they fired me.' She owned it in a way that was unique to her."
Helping the kids "It's OK if you want to make some calls to help your child find a job, but you want him to be able to take care of himself. Ivanka Trump got a big boost from her parents, but she's also done a really good job of establishing herself. She went to Wharton, she has a degree in business, she's built a brand. She's had the benefit of the Trump name, but she's also done the work."

Taste Matters
The Power of 10 was the theme at the Taste of Love gala for Epilepsy Foundation of Georgia at The Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead. Celebrating their 10th anniversary, the EFGA pulled at guests' heartstrings during an emotional moment featuring 10 people who have been touched by the group's efforts. Preceding the tears was a lot of laughter from the hilarious emcee Jonathan Slocumb followed by the rousing entertainment of Up All Night, who brought guests out of their seats in celebration. The ballroom was a vision in purple, gold and silver, thanks to Tony Brewer and Co. Helping to toast this successful evening was Total Wine & More, which gave out gift cards as favors to each guest. Cheers to that! –Photos by Austin Holt

Don't let the weather conditions hold you back! The impact-resistant Tifosi Slip sunglasses come with three different colors of lenses that are easily interchangeable so you can always see clearly.
LOVE these glasses :)
I was worried these glasses would be too tight above the ears, but they're really comfortable. They stay in place, don't slip down my nose (even when my face is dripping sweat),look great and the price was reasonable. The regular lenses are pretty much all I use, so I guess the only thing I'd change would be instead of receiving the other lenses I would of rather had the option of getting extras in the ones I use the most.

In 2003, Tifosi founders Joe and Elizabeth Early identified a need for a high-quality, value-oriented eyewear brand in the cycling industry. As an independent sales rep, Joe noticed that eyewear brands on the market only offered products that fell into two categories: glasses with limited features and a lower price, or glasses that were fully-loaded with features and technology and accompanied by a high price tag.
Joe saw that there was an opportunity to create a sunglass brand that would suit the needs of both small and large retailers, and provide value to consumers looking for high-quality sports optics. In just over five years, the Tifosi product offering expanded to more than 170 model and color options including products for golf and other outdoor sports. Tifosi currently has more than 2,500 U.S. retailers and is distributed in 32 countries.

Hunger Games Birthday (5 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
The Hunger Games series are a huge hit and this pre-teen girl was no exception. She had picked the perfect location outside to have her birthday party and it was up to us to design the desert table. The first thing I did was read all three books! We then incorporated as much as we could to represent all three books and dynamic differences of the characters Katniss and her sister Primrose. For the food we had cream cheese croissants, french bread, fruit filled wafflcones, poisonous berry shortcakes, full size cupcakes with butter crem frosting and fondant flames and mini cupcakes with butter cream frosting and fondant primrose flowers. We went with the casual theme and apothocary look with the flowers using, queen annes lace, scabiosa, red peonies, and orange dahlias. We decorated the table with candy rocks, peppermints, brass boxes, a pair of deer antlers, and a deer skull. We tried to pull in something from Katniss' life in District 12 and from The Capitol throughout the entire series. I was told that one guest called it "the best party of the whole year"! The poisonous berry shortcakes and the fruitfilled wafflecones (cornocopias) are not pictured but you can find the recipes on Pintrest. I did take a lot of ideas from Pintrest, and the printables I found online. I did not design any of the printable myself.

Erie Street Plaza is a small urban plaza in the Historic Third Ward district of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The 13,000-square-foot plaza lies at the point where the Milwaukee River meets the Federal Channel as it empties into Lake Michigan. It is the final link in a series of public space activators along the Milwaukee Riverwalk, a three-mile pedestrian and bicycle corridor that connects downtown Milwaukee to the emerging and redeveloping Third Ward, Beerline Districts, and the lakefront beyond. At the beginning of the project's design, the future of Erie Street Plaza – its users, its function, its programming, even its necessity – were undecided. The urban context was generally one of infrastructure and industry; the site lacked neighbors and potential users. The site itself was a surface parking lot, subject to harsh environmental conditions, including high winds off the lake. Who is it for? How will it be used? This uncertainty, this open-endedness, was at the core of its design.

DeAngelo Williams off the board; where will Miami Dolphins turn for RB help?
In case you missed it, DeAngelo Williams is no longer an eligible bachelor in the world of free agency. Williams, according to the NFL Network, has agreed to a five-year, $43 million deal with Carolina.
Of course, Williams' name had been connected with the Miami Dolphins throughout the dead period otherwise known as the NFL lockout. Williams had expressed at least some interest in joining the Dolphins and, given the team's running back situation, it made sense that the Dolphins might be interested in him, too.
Strangely enough, in its report about Williams the NFL Network didn't list the Dolphins among the teams that had expressed "serious interest" in Williams. Denver and the New York Giants did express such interest, according to the Network.
Question now is this: With Williams off the board, where will the Dolphins turn for running back help?
Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, who have co-led the Dolphins backfield for a while now, are both free agents and their status remains unclear. We can be sure the Dolphins won't bring both back. But with Williams out of the question, does this make it more likely that one is brought back?
Of the two, Brown during the off-season has made his desire the clearest. He has said repeatedly that he wants to return to Miami and play for the only team he's ever known as a professional. Williams, meanwhile, has remained more noncommittal, though he did write on Twitter a while back that he'd like to remain a Dolphin so that he could help the franchise win a Super Bowl.
And then there are those backs available in free agency.
With Williams gone, Ahmad Bradshaw is likely the most coveted free agent back to be had. Newsday reported earlier today that the New York Giants had made an offer to re-sign Bradshaw, who ran for 1,235 yards and 8 touchdowns a season ago.
A couple guys who have been connected to the Dolphins – through the nebulous rumor mill that is the Internet – have been Reggie Bush and Darren Sproles. Both of them fit the mold of the kind of fast, agile runner that Miami general manager Jeff Ireland might be searching for to complement Daniel Thomas, the second-round draft pick who is more of a power runner.
The good thing about this crazy, hectic week of free agency? We won't have to wait too long for all this to sort itself out. Stay tuned …

Peppermint Biscotti RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
- 3/4 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons peppermint extract
- 3-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup crushed peppermint candies
- 2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons shortening
- 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in extract. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; stir in peppermint candy. Gradually add to creamed mixture, beating until blended (dough will be stiff).
- Divide dough in half. On an ungreased baking sheet, shape each portion into a 12x2-1/2-in. rectangle. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Carefully remove to wire racks; cool for 15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board; cut diagonally with a sharp knife into 1/2-in. slices. Place cut side down on ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until firm. Remove to wire racks to cool.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip one end of each biscotti into melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off; sprinkle with candy. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Store in an airtight container. Yield: about 3-1/2 dozen.
Reviews for Peppermint Biscotti
"The taste of these was terrific! As with other biscotti recipes, I seem to have difficulty getting the dough to hang together. Overall, delicious."
"This is a delicious biscotti - great dunked in hot chocolate! Now that I found crushed peppermint at the store (my local Fleet Farm), I love them even more. (I always found it hard to get the peppermints crushed evenly - used food processor, hammer, etc - through the years and never had great luck.) It's a tradition in our house - just perfect!"
"We love this biscotti."
"I love this recipe!! So does everyone else that tried it. I like this recipe so much compared to other biscotti recipes that I have found and tried that I have experimented and made many different flavors. I added orange extract, orange zest, and cranberries instead of the peppermint, it's been a big hit also! I added orange extract, orange zest, chocolate chips, yummo! I added the peppermint extract, and MINT chocolate chips. I tried white chocolate chips & cranberries. I used vanilla extract, some cinnamon, and CARAMEL bits (Kraft). I used vanilla extract, lots of cinnamon & drizzed the biscotti with Wilton EGGNOG. I am using this recipe and the variations I am trying to make lots of biscotti for Christmas gifts right now. THANK you so much for this fantastic recipe."
"This is such a perfect, easy recipe!"

Mission: Providing housing on the Navajo Reservation and hands-on education to University of Utah architecture students
Area of Operation: The Navajo Nation located in the southeastern corner of Utah
Each January, 22 graduate students from the University of Utah's architecture program relocate for one semester to the tiny town of Bluff, next door to the Utah portion of the Navajo Nation. In a journey that's half humanitarian outreach and half educational gestalt, they'll design and build a low-cost, supremely energy-efficient home for one family living on the impoverished reservation.
"Learning in the real world is so many times better than listening to a lecture," says program founder Hank Louis. "I'm with these kids 12, 15 hours a day. They wake up and they are rolling. This is an opportunity to build better architects through teaching them to have compassion for other people."
Louis started DesignBuildBLUFF because he didn't think students emerging with architecture degrees had enough practical knowledge. They could design structures but hadn't a clue how to actually build them. At the same time, Louis saw the need for housing on the reservation. And so the idea emerged.
"Let's build these people quality houses and let these students figure out how to do it," he says.
Thus far, the program has built nine homes, and Louis has no plans to slow down. He has partnered with the University of Colorado and is working with students from there to build homes during the fall term, making for a year-round presence on the reservation.
What's next? "Last year we started looking at designing some prefabricated housing," Louis says. "We'd like to figure out a way to build a lot of houses at once and get them to more people."
How to Help:
DesignBuildBLUFF accepts donations, from cash to building materials. There is also a new program for volunteers to lend a hand on-site. For more information, visit designbuildbluff.org or call 435-649-7080.
By the Numbers:
9 Homes on the Navajo reservation
187 Students who have completed the program
$60,000 Average cost for one student-designed home
1,056 Average hours of work per home

Linguistic Society of America The Linguistic Society of America is also an official sponsor of CoLang 2014. (For full list of sponsors, click here.)
CoLang offers an opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students, practicing linguists, and indigenous community members to develop and refine skills and approaches to language documentation and revitalization. The Institute is designed to provide an opportunity for a diverse range of participants to become trained in a wide range of skills in community-centered language documentation.
The institute consists of two parts: the Workshops - two weeks of intensive workshops on practices, principals and models of language documentation and revitalization, followed by a four-week field methods course, working with speakers of select indigenous languages applying hands-on techniques in language documentation. Participants may choose to enroll only in the two-week Workshops. Field methods languages include Alabama (a Muskogean language spoken here in Texas), Innu (or Cree, spoken in Canada), Apoala Mixtec (an Oto-Manguean language coming from Mexico, with its highly diverse linguistic environment), and an African language to be determined.

8. Provide supportive mechanisms for a Just Transition ? ensuring the right to sustainable development. Introduction
Recalling the recommendation by the 1987 report of the World Commission on Environment and Development (the Brundtland Commission report) for creation of a ?Universal Declaration on Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development? in the form of a ?new charter? with principles to guide nations in the transition to sustainable development, and the promotion of values that encourage consumption standards to which all can aspire within Earth?s carrying capacity.
Recognizing�that the adoption of such an ethical Charter was a goal of the preparatory process for the 1992 Rio Earth Summit and that, since then, too little progress has been made in implementing governments? commitments to sustainable development.
Realizing that the need for a stronger global ethical framework to guide sustainable development has only increased.�� Mindful that the Earth Charter was drafted and launched by a global civil society initiative under the leadership of the Earth Charter Commission, and that the Earth Charter has been endorsed and recognized by thousands of organizations including UNESCO and the IUCN.
Recognizing that the September 7 Declaration of the 64th Annual UN DPI/NGO Conference in Bonn articulates a broadly supported civil society agenda for the Outcome Document of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development. Recalling, as stated in this Bonn Declaration, ?that the Earth Charter, together with the Culture of Peace, can play a vital role in helping to inspire renewed political commitment expected for Rio + 20 and to guide the transition to a sustainable, just and peaceful society with respect and care for the entire community of life.?
Affirming the recommendation by the European Economic and Social Committee that ?the Summit [Rio+20] should recognize and support the Earth Charter as a means of inspiring commitment and action by individuals and organizations around the world.?
Affirming that the Outcome Document from Rio+20 should acknowledge the importance of a comprehensive ethical framework - as exemplified by the Earth Charter - as a guide for sustainable development and ensure that governments make good on past commitments to Agenda 21, the Millennium Development Goals, and other intergovernmental agreements.
We, on behalf of Earth Charter International and its network of supporting organizations and individuals, submit the following recommendations for inclusion in the Zero Draft Document:
Recommendation 1 - Express responsibility to future generations by implementing the precautionary principle and establishing Ombudspersons for Future Generations at global, national and local levels As defined by the Brundtland Commission report, sustainable development requires we meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs, within the limits imposed by the capacity of the biosphere to absorb the effects of human activities. This universal responsibility for intergenerational equity is expressed in Earth Charter Principle 4 which calls us to Secure Earth?s bounty and beauty for present and future generations.
The Bonn Declaration calls for the establishment of Ombudspersons for Future Generations at global, national and local levels, who will advocate for sustainable development as envisaged and defined by the Brundtland Commission (?? to enhance the well-being and prospects of present and future generations to meet their needs, and to serve as an auditor at the heart of governments and deal with citizen?s complaints?). As a comprehensive ethical framework, The Earth Charter provides shared values and principles that can help guide their work.
In taking responsibility for future generations, we must recognize the threat they face if too little is done to protect our environmental security. Reduced access to water, rising sea levels, management over degrading pastoral lands and the ever-increasing gap between rich and poor fanned by unsustainable development increase the risk that communities across the planet will be caught in the middle of conflicts associated with control of our dwindling natural resources. Implicit in the call for Ombudspersons for Future Generations is a deep commitment to implementing the precautionary principle as adopted in the Rio Declaration and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, amongst other international agreements. The Earth Charter?s formulation of the precautionary principle is pro-active and progressive:
6. Prevent harm as the best method of environmental protection and, when knowledge is limited, apply a precautionary approach.
a. Take action to avoid the possibility of serious or irreversible environmental harm even when scientific knowledge is incomplete or inconclusive.
b. Place the burden of proof on those who argue that a proposed activity will not cause significant harm, and make the responsible parties liable for environmental harm.
c. Ensure that decision making addresses the cumulative, long-term, indirect, long distance, and global consequences of human activities.
Recommendation 2 - Create a green economy based on strong sustainability and adopt alternative economic indicators to GDP that include social well-being and ecological integrity The Earth Charter provides a strong definition of sustainable development, recognizing the three standard pillars [social, environmental and economic] but organizing them in a particular way. Environment is not merely the resource base for human consumption, not just one of the three factors to be considered. Rather, it incorporates the greater community of life including human beings and the life-support systems on which we all depend. This shift to a broader life-centered perspective marks one key difference between weak and strong sustainability. Furthermore, the social dimension (articulated in the Earth Charter in terms of principles for economic and social justice, democracy, non-violence and peace) represents a set of pre-requisites and goals for sustainable development rather than negotiable or merely optional considerations (Bosselman and Engel, 2010). There are obvious classes of goods which are privately owned, traded on markets, and for which there is a real market price. Undoubtedly, for these goods, fixing market failures is a pre- requisite to advancing sustainable development (Bosselmann et al., 2011). Earth Charter principle 7d addresses one critical market failure, vis. Internalize the full environmental and social costs of goods and services into the selling price, and enable consumers to identify products that meet the highest social and environmental standards. However, such pricing, and attempts to fix other market failures, must not disadvantage or bring harm to developing countries. Therefore, coupled to any market based mechanism introduced as part of green economic reform must be a commitment to the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities and capabilities; as articulated in the Rio Declaration and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, among other international agreements. For example, approaches to pricing greenhouse gas emissions must follow the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities (see Recommendations 7 and 8). The Bonn Declaration recognizes that market and institutional failures take the form of prices that do not reflect their true environmental and social costs, underinvestment in natural, human, built and social capital, harmful and perverse subsidies, restricted access to information about production technologies and their impacts, lack of democratic economic governance, increasing unemployment and inadequate indicators of progress. We support the Declarations call for replacement of the current inefficient, unsustainable and inequitable economic, monetary, financial and commercial models with policies that advance rather than detract from sustainable development goals and that build rather than deplete the stocks of natural and social capital on which human well-being ultimately depends. As noted by the Declaration (see also Bosselmann et al. 2011), where the current economy aids inequity, destruction and greed, it should be replaced by an economy that cares for and enables a flourishing Earth community inclusive of all people, the greater community of life, and future generations. The Bonn Declaration calls for the establishment of an intergovernmental negotiating committee to create a framework convention on corporate environmental and social responsibility (CSR) for the accountability of corporate investments for all companies listed on stock exchanges worldwide (287-290). We support this call and, informed by our partnership with the Global Reporting Initiative, recommend that the following Green Economy Coalition recommendations be adopted in this framework convention: - Commit to develop a global policy framework that requires all listed and large private companies to consider sustainability issues and to integrate material sustainability information within their reporting cycle and in their Annual Report and Accounts or explain why if they do not; - Recognize the need for a process that builds on data available through sustainability reporting, leading to the development and adoption of macro-level, multi-disciplinary metrics such as the Sustainable Development Indicators that, beyond GDP, would allow a more comprehensive measurement of wellbeing, environmental health and the progress made towards a green economy; and - Commit to develop and implement new ways of measuring national wealth beyond money, specifically with new indicators on societal wellbeing and environmental health. GDP itself must subtract externalities and report net incomes per capita. UNCSD should reach agreement on a deadline to endorse common methods and practices, with a view to producing global standards, so that nationally defined indicators can be comparable at the international level and with appropriate tools for monitoring and assessment. Recommendation 3 - Acknowledge the fundamental importance of shared ethical and spiritual values in making the transition to a sustainable way of life There is wide international agreement that sustainable development requires economic development, social transformations, and environmental restoration and protection. In addition to these three pillars of sustainable development, there is a fourth pillar: a shared vision of ethical and spiritual values that inspires and guides cooperative action for change. Shared values awaken a sense of common purpose and build community spirit. In an increasingly interdependent world, achieving the environmental, economic, and social goals associated with sustainability requires worldwide collaboration, and cooperation is not possible without shared values and a sense of common purpose. The vision of a sustainable future as an inclusive social and ecological ideal that is good, right and just is what is needed to inspire strong commitment and drive change. The emergence throughout the world of a new ethical and spiritual consciousness that supports the transition to a just, sustainable and peaceful world is one of the most promising developments of the last sixty years. The ethical and spiritual values associated with this new consciousness have been given expression in many intergovernmental and civil society declarations such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the World Charter for Nature, the Rio Declaration, and the Earth Charter. The Earth Charter identifies the basic spiritual challenge that the world community must address if it is to make the transition to strong sustainability when it states: We must realize that when basic needs have been met, human development is primarily about being more, not having more. This guideline is, of course, entirely consistent with the teachings of all the worlds great wisdom traditions. The values associated with human rights, cultural diversity, social and economic justice, a culture of peace, intergenerational responsibility, and respect and care for the greater community of life, are all part of what being more means in the 21st century. In addition, the Earth Charter recognizes the importance of reverence for the mystery of being, compassion, love, hope, and the joyful celebration of life. Being more in the spirit of these values and ideals is the only sure path to a sustainable world. We might represent the four pillars of sustainable development as People, Planet, Profit and Pneuma (i.e. spirit) with the latter representing our possibility of awakening to a sense of wonder and interconnectedness with all life and of establishing, as the last Earth Charter principle (16f) states, & right relationships with oneself, other persons, other cultures, other life, Earth, and the larger whole of which all are a part. Recommendation 4 - Adopt sustainable development goals focused on sustainable production and consumption Earth Charter Principle 7 urges us to Adopt patterns of production, consumption, and reproduction that safeguard Earth's regenerative capacities, human rights, and community well- being. Sustainable development must provide all with access to the resources necessary for a fulfilling life. The following recommendations from the Bonn Declaration spell out key targets for realizing the recommendations of Principle 7, including 7f which encourages us to Adopt lifestyles that emphasize the quality of life and material sufficiency in a finite world: - By 2020, consistent with the Biodiversity Strategic Plan adopted at the 10th meeting of the Conference of Parties to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, the human ecological footprint is reduced so that it remains within the Earths biological carrying capacity. In accordance with the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities, we call on nations and populations engaged in wasteful overconsumption to reduce their impacts and help increase the consumption of vital goods and services for impoverished nations and peoples, so they also can enjoy reasonably high standards of living that provide equitable access to health care, decent work opportunities and education; - By 2020, governments should promote production processes that reflect the best available technologies for eco-efficiency, recycling, remanufacturing, reuse of waste materials, product durability and longevity. Wasteful practices such as planned obsolescence are identified and eliminated. Public procurement standards and incentives reward leading corporations that share and disseminate best green practices worldwide. By 2020, the majority of the worlds goods and services are procured by governments from sources certified by objective third parties as sustainably produced; - Further, establish a set of Millennium Consumption Goals for the period 2012-2020 towards creating an intergenerational and internationally shared right to equitable consumption opportunities and ensuring quality of life and wellbeing of all people by 2020, while eradicating all kinds and levels of poverty, respecting animal welfare and embedding sufficiency based sustainable economies. (442-463) Recommendation 5 - Ensure that proposals for a new institutional framework for sustainable development, and related global governance reforms, include a mandate of trusteeship for global common goods on behalf all peoples, the greater community of life, and future generations Various options have been proposed for institutional reform in support of sustainable development including a consortium for environmental sustainability that strengthen UN CSD, creation of a new, specialized normative and operational agency, and creation of a new umbrella organisation for sustainable development with universal membership. All are legitimate options with advantages and potential for positive outcomes. Whatever proposal for institutional reform the worlds nations agree to at Rio+20, a critical question is the mandate under which it is established. We recommend that a core component of the mandate should be a trusteeship function over global public goals and common goods on behalf of all peoples, the greater community of life, and future generations. The first four principles of the Earth Charter provide one articulation of the necessary goals: 1. Respect Earth and life in all its diversity; 2. Care for the community of life with understanding, compassion, and love; 3. Build democratic societies that are just, participatory, sustainable, and peaceful; and 4. Secure Earth's bounty and beauty for present and future generations. Global common goods include obligations for maintaining the integrity of planetary boundaries and the ecological wellbeing of all, overseeing markets to ensure that they are protective of non- market common goods, and ensuring impartiality between all interests individual, civil society, corporate, and national. The basis for these duties is well articulated in the Preamble of the Earth Charter: Earth, our home, is alive with a unique community of life. The forces of nature make existence a demanding and uncertain adventure, but Earth has provided the conditions essential to life's evolution. The resilience of the community of life and the well-being of humanity depend upon preserving a healthy biosphere with all its ecological systems, a rich variety of plants and animals, fertile soils, pure waters, and clean air. The global environment with its finite resources is a common concern of all peoples. The protection of Earth's vitality, diversity, and beauty is a sacred trust. The notion of an international institution exercising a trusteeship function is not new. Indeed, under the auspices of the UN, a Trusteeship Council was enacted to act on behalf of states transitioning from colonisation to independence. This Trusteeship Council was mandated to speak for the yet-to-be state entities which had no legal standing or representation. The Trusteeship Council acted on behalf of entities that were not legally recognized. An obvious parallel can be drawn between the functioning of this Council and a global trusteeship function as part of a new or revised institutional framework for sustainable development. Recommendation 6 - Ensure that all have access to quality education for sustainable ways of living Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) was a major, and neglected, priority of Agenda 21. Tasked with coordinating the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development, UNESCOs effort to promote ESD through formal educational institutions, as well as many non- formal and media based educational/advertising enterprises, is making an important contribution. However, universal access to quality education (let alone ESD) for both boys and girls, even at the primary level, is an elusive goal. The Bonn Declaration noted that the shift to a sustainable society is deeply dependent on the educational system, and affirmed that education should address the material, social and spiritual dimensions of human development, and in its fullest sense, education must provide the space for value-based sustainable learning. There is an overwhelming need for the world community to reaffirm the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development as proposed in Bonn Declaration, 416-418. The importance of access for all to quality education for sustainable development is articulated in Earth Charter principle 14: Integrate into formal education and life-long learning the knowledge, values, and skills needed for a sustainable way of life. a. Provide all, especially children and youth, with educational opportunities that empower them to contribute actively to sustainable development. b. Promote the contribution of the arts and humanities as well as the sciences in sustainability education. c. Enhance the role of the mass media in raising awareness of ecological and social challenges. d. Recognize the importance of moral and spiritual education for sustainable living. Recommendation 7 - Make Climate Justice a guiding principle in efforts to address global climate change, ensuring that the benefits and burdens associated with climate change are distributed equitably, with special concern for the rights of the poor, indigenous peoples, and other vulnerable peoples There is wide agreement in the international scientific community that anthropogenic (human caused) climate change is occurring as a direct consequence of the burning of fossil fuels, the destruction of forests, and additional activities that increase the concentration of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. There is also compelling evidence that climate change is already having a damaging impact in some regions and that it will cause great harm to people and to Earths ecosystems and biodiversity. It presents a grave threat to present and future generations. The people who will suffer most are those who have done the least to bring global climate change about. They are the poor and to a large extent populations in the low- income nations in the global South, especially future generations in these countries. In fulfilling its common but differentiated responsibilities with regard to global climate change, the international community has the moral responsibility to protect human rights and advance justice. Climate Justice employs a rights-based framework to focus attention on and address issues of social and economic justice created by the harmful impacts of climate change on the environment and human development. Fundamental to Climate Justice are effective initiatives to curb global warming by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and lowering atmospheric concentrations to safe levels. Climate Justice requires an equitable distribution of the benefits and burdens associated with global climate change, with special concern for the rights and sustainable development of the poor and all other vulnerable peoples, including indigenous peoples. Climate Justice also gives special attention to Gender equality. Recommendation 8 - Provide supportive mechanisms for a Just Transition ensuring the right to sustainable development There will be costs in making the transition to a low carbon, green economy in the pursuit of sustainable development. Some States and actors are better able to bear those costs than others and are more resilient to transitional changes. In the process of change, the most vulnerable must be supported and protected developing countries must have access to appropriate financial and technical assistance, citizens and communities must also have access to education and training for sustainable ways of living. Institutions at all levels (national and international) must be democratic and accountable. As much as possible, decisions should be made by those most affected by them. Institutions must be transparent and participatory, enabling civil society to hold them accountable, with (as noted by Earth Charter Principle 13d) &effective and efficient access to administrative and independent judicial procedures, including remedies and redress for environmental harm and the threat of such harm. Concluding comments The Rio+20 conference provides an important opportunity for the world community to recommit to the values and principles of sustainability and forge new sustainable development initiatives. International cooperation between all sectors is critical if progress is to be realized. As noted in the concluding section of the Earth Charter & Every individual, family, organization, and community has a vital role to play. The arts, sciences, religions, educational institutions, media, businesses, nongovernmental organizations, and governments are all called to offer creative leadership. The partnership of government, civil society, and business is essential for effective governance. The Earth Charter serves as a road map to achieving a just, sustainable and peaceful future for all people and future generations. It addresses the strong relationships that exist between human health and wellbeing and the environmental challenges we face including climate change, a lack of water and food, the loss of biodiversity, and forced migration. The protection of Earths environment is a foundation of humanitys survival. Rio+20 must be seen as not a one of event but the beginning of a new phase in our collective efforts to advance strong sustainability. To quote the concluding words of the Earth Charter: Let ours be a time remembered for the awakening of a new reverence for life, the firm resolve to achieve sustainability, the quickening of the struggle for justice and peace, and the joyful celebration of life.

Reviews for Irish Herbed Potatoes
"I make these every year for St. Patrick's Day and they are delicious......and highly recommended!"
"These are really tasty and easy to make. My boyfriend who is Irish loved these! I did cut the dill by one teaspoon. Still enough to enjoy that unique taste!"
"Not bad, but there was too much dill in the recipe for me."
"Being full Irish myself, I love this recipe. Have to lol about the people worried about the nutrition values. If you only decide to eat these on St Patrick's Day, why bother, enjoy. You should really be concerned about those 12 beers you are looking forward to having that day. I do agree that you can get by w/ less butter (1/3 cup) is plenty. If you think about it, you don't see many fat Irish folks."
"I made these for St Patty's dinner, and they are absolutely delicious! I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because of the 1/2 c butter called for in the recipe. I used half as much (4T) and it was still PLENTY to coat the potatoes. I will definitely make these again."
