Full SubmissionProposals for the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD) Soka Gakkai International The Soka Gakkai International (SGI) hereby submits its proposals in response to the invitation ?to provide inputs and contributions for inclusion in a compilation document to serve as basis for the preparation of zero draft of the outcome document.? As a non-governmental organization with membership in 192 countries and territories and a decades-long record of activities promoting education, learning and civil society engagement, we focus on the following three action areas whereby education in all its forms can play a key role in achieving the objectives and addressing the themes of UNCSD. We also hope these action areas can serve to invigorate the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development, 2005-2014 (DESD) and encourage active follow-up efforts by diverse stakeholders. ? Lifelong learning for sustainable development ? Education and awareness-raising for a green economy ? Education targets in ?Sustainable Development Goals? Lifelong learning for sustainable development Education and learning take place not only in schools but also in all aspects and areas of our lives. UNESCO?s ?ESD calls for lifelong learning and recognizes the fact that the educational needs of people change over their lifetime.? Similarly, in the UNEP, ?The strategy is also consistent with the environmental education principles which recognise environmental education as a continuous and lifelong process, based on interdisciplinary approaches, active participation and individual and group responsibility for the environment.? We propose a new program of lifelong learning for sustainable development to be launched in 2015 as follow-up to the DESD. It can serve to facilitate efforts in informal education while furthering work in formal education. Such a program would profile existing educational/learning activities relevant to ESD and clarify what is best learnt at each life-stage, and in which venue or situation. UNEP describes its mission as ?Inspiring, Informing and Enabling.? When we think about ESD, in addition to UNEP?s mission above, it is crucial to take into consideration the importance of self-learning and applying knowledge gained to our own life and experiences. Therefore, we propose a formula of ?Learn, Reflect, and Empower? (LRE) for promoting ESD. This three-step formula is effective in ESD in our experience. The acquisition of knowledge alone is not only insufficient, but this approach can easily lead to the learner feeling overwhelmed by the extent and complexity of the problems, resulting in disempowerment. The LRE formula equips people for action and enables them to be confident that even one person?s actions can make a difference. Ideally, education should inspire the faith that each of us has both the power and the responsibility to effect positive change on a global scale. This LRE formula can be utilized in any type of ESD activity and at any stage of life. We will see the development of learning systems throughout society which enable people to learn, reflect, adapt and take appropriate action in response to complex, interrelated and everchanging circumstances. As such a program involves all members of societies including the business sector and consumers, it would help lay foundations for efforts toward the 10-Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production. Education and awareness-raising for a green economy The aim is to inform ordinary people about successful approaches to a green economy and to encourage economic activities based on it. Efforts are also needed to achieve a paradigm shift in thinking about growth by utilizing and raising awareness of new indexes for measuring development and economic approaches which take visibly into account social and environmental costs. Poverty eradication must also be a central goal, with the provision that natural resources are not exploited to the detriment of future generations. Education is vital so that evolving concepts of a green economy will be more familiar to ordinary people. More widespread understanding will enhance the quality of green economy initiatives and what the international community agrees at UNCSD. This process will be ongoing. The idea of a green economy, unlike other economic models, includes the aims of sustainable development and the eradication of poverty. A common purpose on a global scale is necessary, and education is important to this end. In the first stage starting from 2015, we consider it to be desirable to establish a program and tools which can be used in secondary education and higher education. Also, the 10YFP SCP should mention an education program on green economy. The LRE formula can be applied here as well, empowering learners to take concrete action and not only absorb past economic theories and knowledge. In order to realize this, the program should include case studies of both success and failure, and on-thejob- training courses. Philosophical and ethical aspects must also be covered to promote an integrated way of thinking about sustainability issues, and the overarching rationale for a green economy. Widely recognized documents such as the Earth Charter can be of use in this respect. Incorporating education targets in ?Sustainable Development Goals? Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are being proposed to complement the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The education-related target among the MDGs is ?Children everywhere, boys and girls alike, will be able to complete a full course of primary schooling.? SDGs should be related to the life-long learning program we propose here, promoting the kind of education that encourages us to expand our vision, encouraging our openness to understand, appreciate and promote interlinkages. The LRE formula can be helpful in this respect. An SDG education goal would complement the MDG education goal. To further the above proposal, we offer the following observations about the issues surrounding the use of nuclear-powered energy: Reflection on the past 20 years In Rio and Johannesburg, the international community agreed that natural resources are limited and that carbon emissions should be cut. Developing countries, with rising energy demands, have been faced with the pressure of reducing dependence on fossil fuels. In response, aided by nuclear energy interests in developed countries, the export of nuclear technology has become widespread. Many countries are planning to develop the nuclear power option. In March 2011, Japan was faced with the compound disasters of earthquake, tsunami and Fukushima nuclear power plant accident. Radioactive materials were scattered over a wide area. Residents around the plant have been forced to evacuate with no clear prospect of return. Requested policies a) Energy summit In international negotiations about energy, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has been playing a key role. As the agency comprises only 28 countries, it has been inviting emerging countries like China and India, as well as transnational corporations to join its debates in recent years. However, the Fukushima accident has highlighted the necessity of reflection of ordinary people?s concerns in energy policies, as they are affected by the process of power generation not just as consumers. Even in oil producing countries, only a few corporations and governments benefit from the oil industry, while local residents often suffer from severe disruption to their local environment, causing political instability. It is essential to take people?s concerns and views into consideration. In a world where increasing energy demand is inevitable, we are faced with the urgent task of how to secure energy supplies in a sustainable way. In order to solve this, we think a periodic summit is indispensable, one which decides global energy policies with the presence of governments, transnational corporations, and representatives of civil society, led by an inter-organizational bureau linking international organizations such as the UN Security Council, UNEP, CSD and IEA. Nuclear power plants inevitably cause sacrifices and risks to future generations and the natural environment. From such summit debates, civil society can reasonably and urgently conclude whether the role of nuclear power should be limited to that of a transitional or bridging technology until alternative technologies mature. b) Technology transfer of renewable energy to developing countries In the meantime, we need to create a system which encourages technology transfer of renewable energy to developing countries. Promotion of this shift can be a driver of a green economy. The shift derives not only from the ethical undesirability of nuclear plants, but also from the prerogatives of a green economy that cannot ignore the negative costs and risks of nuclear power plants. Finance will be a challenge, and the instrumentality of taxes imposed on actors who sacrifice others can be considered. Currently, an aviation tax has been implemented in a few countries, and ideas for a Tobin tax or taxation on weapons trade are being proposed. The trade of fissile materials, which is already internationally controlled and monitored, could be taxed more effectively than weapons. These, too, are subjects for summit debates through which civil society must become informed and engaged.

When I was 16, I was sitting at the kitchen table with my mother after school one day, and she was going on and on about some house she was decorating. She was all excited and animated, filled with creative passion. I sat there thinking, "Why is she telling me all this? Her life is almost over." Guess how old she was. 36!
I look back on that now and cringe. I loved my mother with all my heart but couldn't stop myself from treating her like a sub-human. As she got older, she told me she felt invisible. She said in this society, middle–aged women are the least valued group. Youth is the coin of the realm. When we four kids (one sister, two brothers) left home, my mother became a frantic dilettante, trying to do everything at once to make up for lost time. At 68, just when she felt she was starting to live, she was diagnosed with lung cancer. She was so angry. She passed away six weeks after that tragic diagnosis.
I always wanted a child, but waited until I was 39, or -- by my own teenage calculation -- until my life was almost over. I think, in part, I was afraid of being trapped. I'd always been in some area of show business – acting, directing, writing songs, singing, but didn't commit to a specific career until my daughter was 6. So essentially, I waited until I was "trapped" to focus on one career and give it my all. I partnered with writer Jonathan Stark. We wrote several spec scripts, and got our first staff-writing job in 1991 on Cheers. I was 48, so of course… my life was almost over.
In 1994 we landed on Ellen. We stayed four seasons, winning an Emmy and the Peabody Award for co-writing Ellen's ground-breaking coming-out episode. After that, we were in development with ABC/Disney, and in 2001 created According to Jim, starring Jim Belushi. By then I was 59… my life was really almost over, right? Wrong.
After According to Jim sold into syndication, when I was 63, I left the show to become a singer/songwriter. I had been playing guitar and writing songs since I was a kid, so I was prepared. I just needed to get my chops back, which took about six months of daily practice. Now I have a six-piece band. We play about three shows a week in and around the LA area. In 2007, I released my first CD called A Place in the Sun. I'm working on the next one. I'm 68, my life is almost over, but it feels like it's just beginning. Hmm. Maybe it is.
My daughter's name is Charlotte. She's 29. Not to be too tough on my teenage self, but I raised a nicer child than my mom did. However, like me, Charlotte was a pretty nasty teen. Here's my song about driving teenage girls in a carpool, called, "It's All Coming Back to Me Now." I bring this up now because of the way I felt during that time: Invisible.
I hate this school. It's a forty-minute drive
Why couldn't she go to the school nearby?
I'm starving. Why didn't I bring something to eat?
Why did I wear shorts? I'm sticking to the seat
There's the volunteer security guard
She's gonna make all of us move our cars
Whydid I ever have a child?
My life was so much easier pre-Charlotte
I had no idea how good I had it
I'd see a baby and think, "That's what I need,
Someone to love who depends on me."
Oh, yeah, it's all coming back to me now
Well, here she comes, my little bundle of love
In a hoodie and jeans, she's walkin' on her cuffs
Her long blond hair is in a mess of cornrows
She's rappin' a verse about gangstas and ho's
She settles in, I ask "how was school?"
She glares at me, 'cuz I'm so not cool
How did I ever get this child?
I wonder what's making her so mean
Then I remember the way I was at sixteen
She's treatin' me like I treated my mama
I'm getting my share of overdue karma
Oh, yeah, it's all coming back to me now

At an informal luncheon/media briefing on Tuesday at Denver's Blake Street Tavern, Bohn covered a wide range of athletic-related topics, highlighted by a long-discussed facilities plan that would reconfigure Folsom Field into a bowl and link the existing complex, including the Dal Ward Athletics Center, with a permanent indoor practice facility atop an underground parking structure.
Bohn called the project "transformational" and said "campus connectivity" is critical in the plan. CU faces "some significant challenges associated with classroom space, based on the growth of the campus," Bohn said. "We believe the stadium footprint is a potential solution to that, in a big way."
Financing for the project is still being studied, with Bohn citing "the private piece, the department piece" and what is expected to be a healthy television revenue stream from CU's membership in the Pac-12 Conference. In the first year (2013), CU is expected to receive at least $20 million - a figure exclusive of whatever else the school realizes from possibly participating in a BCS bowl, the NCAA Tournament, etc.
A feasibility study for the ambitious facilities project, said Bohn, is being done through the CU Foundation, the fund-raising arm he said has grown from five staffers to 14 since he arrived in the spring of 2005. He also said the Foundation has "made major investments in helping us raise money . . . anytime you're working on a project of this scope, private funds are a big part of that."
Bohn called fund-raising for the massive upgrade "extremely complex" and emphasized that his discussing an announcement almost six months out is "not going to be an empty promise and that's one I take pride in . . . It's not a dream, it's not a vision; it's a project that we're working hard on (and) that's our No. 1 priority."
CU President Bruce Benson, Chancellor Phil DiStefano and the school's Board of Regents "are right at the table with us, they're in the trenches with us," Bohn said. "That's inspiring to me and it should be very, very positive to all those who have the ability to engage with our program. That's imperative . . . let there be no mistake about that."
Bohn acknowledged that the athletic department is still repaying an $8 million loan (with interest) from campus as well as "dealing with a significant buyout ($14-$15 million)" to leave the Big 12 Conference and join the Pac-12 last summer. Nonetheless, he remains optimistic that all the financial "moving parts" will be pulled together and allow the fall announcement of a project that had its genesis in former CU Athletic Director Dick Tharp's Vision 2010.
"I'd say we've made enough progress to continue to be aggressive in moving this forward, but it's clearly not materialized at this point," Bohn said. "We're talking private dollars, also investments from the athletic department budget, the Pac-12 television revenue as well. (It's) enough to keep us going but we have a lot of work to do there."
In addition to giving Folsom a facelift, the project would help pull together athletic department offices that currently, conceded Bohn, are "all over the gates (at Folsom)." Also in line for renovation on Folsom's west side would be antiquated Balch Fieldhouse and the Flatirons Club. And the Coors Events Center, which last summer was joined to a basketball/volleyball practice facility, also is undergoing more modifications to accommodate the Pac-12 Network.
"You start getting an idea of the scope of the whole plot we're trying to build and why it's significant in what we're putting together," Bohn said. "(But) the vision is it's beyond just a facility piece. It's a comprehensive presentation of organizational effectiveness and organizational strategy, having a staff that can deliver all the things we're talking about in addition to the facility piece."
On a staff-related note, Bohn said the athletic department will add a senior level staff member - a chief marketing officer - likely in early summer. Bohn credited the current marketing staff, directed by Prema Khanna, and called the addition of a CMO "an enhancement for her." The department, he said, recognizes that with basketball's success and growth, the anticipated "transformational pieces" for Folsom Field and the startup of the Pac-12 Network, CU "must be more aggressive in the marketplace - and we're going to be."
Football, he said, is "tracking well, but we realize we have a ways to go there . . . we don't want to wait until things start to turn around and we're getting into bowl cycles" before there is the realization that more marketing resources are needed.
The new CMO's areas of responsibilities, said Bohn, will include development, the ticket office and the athletic media relations office. The new hire, he added, "will take a lead role in corporate outreach and initiatives associated with activation of sponsors. We're going to ramp up our marketing efforts through the CMO significantly and then we're going to continue to look for effectiveness in the operation and how we build that and how we do things on a daily basis. You'll see a significant shift, probably starting this summer associated with that."
He wants CU to capitalize coast-to-coast on its athletics message and build on the excitement generated by the postseason run of the men's basketball team: "From L.A. to Boston, we've got to find a way to continue to fuel the excitement we have," Bohn said. "We got a taste of it Albuquerque and in four nights (in Los Angeles) with the Pac-12 tournament and what that means."
The school has targeted graduates from 1986-1994, with Bohn calling the period "our heydays in football . . . lots of great things were going on there. We're going to try and take that segment and hit 'em hard . . .
"When you look at Colorado's best days, when we got it all going on the same page, we're pretty darn good . . . when we've got full houses, when we've got everybody behind this, we're pretty good. Obviously, we want to build in more consistency rather than have ups and downs."
Other topics Bohn addressed on Tuesday included:
- The CU men's basketball team led the nation in attendance increases during the period from 2009-2012. The Buffs' comparative four-year rise was 68 percent, from 4,637 in 2009 to 7,804 in 2012. In a distant second place was St. John's, which went from 5,418 in '09 to 7,804 in '12 - an increase of 45 percent. CU sold out a school-record home game in 2011 and four in 2012. And Bohn said the administration wants to make sure it "doesn't lose any traction" gained over the past two seasons in student support. He said a "student-friendly" plan already was being studied for next season's Pac-12 tournament in Las Vegas. A "reunion" is planned for Monday for the 50 members of the C-Unit that went to L.A. and had a significant impact on this season's Pac-12 tournament. "We want to fuel that, keep that alive," Bohn said.
- The CU women's home attendance ranked second in the Pac-12 behind Stanford this season. The Buffaloes averaged 2,679 for 18 home dates and 3,346 in nine Pac-12 home games, both figures trailing only Stanford (4,250 overall; 4,345 league). CU's 2011-12 attendance figure, ranking 44th in the nation, was the program's best since the 2003-04 team drew 3,092 over 16 home games. Bohn said to get the women's home attendance up, "We have to continue our entertainment, obviously making the games good. We need the team to play inspired, fundamentally strong basketball, which is what Linda (Lappe) is all about. She's making progress with that." He also said work needs to continue with CU's sponsors, such as State Farm. CU is hosting an NCAA women's regional next spring, and Bohn said the Buffs' goal is to be in that field at the Coors Events Center.
- CU's master renovation plans include expanding the Events Center weight room and adding an additional strength and conditioning coach. Also, the CEC is being looked at to house the women's lacrosse program, which begins competition in the spring of 2014. Training space and team meeting space in the CEC will be expanded.
- Also included in the CEC renovation is the addition of a ground-level studio that will be associated with the startup of the Pac-12 Network. Bohn called the expansive studio "a huge media hub" that will accommodate the taping of CU's coaches shows and will be the new headquarters for BuffVision. Bohn said the Pac-12 Network has not yet solidified a deal with DirecTV, but he called it "one of the top priorities . . . we hope to have an announcement about the DirecTV element in that. But in the Denver marketplace, the deal is with Comcast."
- Bohn expressed excitement that CU's women's golf team "is scratching at a Top 10 ranking." The Buffs are ranked No. 11. CU is hosting the NCAA Women's West Regional May 10-12 at Colorado National Golf Course in Erie. Bohn called that a "significant opportunity for our team." CU is eyeing a grand opening associated with the new indoor practice facility there.
- At a Pac-12 meeting in early May, CU will learn more about basketball scheduling for the 2012-13 season. Bohn said "a lot of unknowns" remain about scheduling, particularly the proposed Big Ten/Pac-12 hoops alliance. He also reiterated that every Buffs football game this fall will be nationally televised via the Pac-12 Network.
- New video boards at Folsom Field will go up two weeks after the Bolder Boulder, traditionally run on Memorial Day weekend. Bohn said the new boards "will transform the experience for our fans" and that the accompanying sound piece still is being explored.
- New Field Turf is going in this summer to replace the artificial surface on the football practice field covered by the bubble during the winter months.
- CU is planning a reunion of its 1970 football team at this fall's UCLA game at Folsom Field. (Saturday, Sept. 29; Pac-12 home opener). Also in football, Bohn said last season's season ticket sales of 25,172 was the school's largest total since 2003. He said sales for the 2012 season were "doing well."
- Bohn believes there will be a "major uptick" in volleyball this fall. "We've been waiting on this recruiting class for a while . . . traditionally the elite players commit in their sophomore year of high school. So when you get them, you've already invested a year in recruiting them, then you've got to wait two more years for it come together. I anticipate our volleyball being on a major uptick." He said joining the Pac-12 had obviously been difficult for the tennis program, but he expects improvement there also.
- When might CU reinstate its baseball program, which was cut in 1980? Don't hold your breath. "Our future sports are certainly on our game board, but we're going to focus on the 17 we have now," Bohn said. "But we'll be prepared and if a major gift materializes . . . right now (baseball) is not within that organizational effectiveness that we're talking about."

ATLANTA (May 10, 2011)—The Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Sibley Heart Center is pleased to announce the launch of its Pulmonary Hypertension Program. Pulmonary hypertension is a disorder of the blood vessels in the lungs that results in elevated blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries.
While sometimes pulmonary hypertension has no known cause, more frequently it occurs as a complication of another disease process. Conditions such as congenital diaphragmatic hernia, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, scleroderma, restrictive lung disease, sickle cell disease and congenital heart disease are known to contribute to the development of pulmonary hypertension.
The Sibley Heart Center Pulmonary Hypertension Program provides a centralized home for management of this condition, along with access to a team of specialists who also treat the conditions associated with pulmonary hypertension. Children or young adults who have, or are at risk for, pulmonary hypertension, receive specialized care provided by a multidisciplinary team with experience in managing the specific drugs and therapies used to treat the condition.
"Our program is unique in that it incorporates both pediatric cardiologists and a pediatric pulmonologist—physicians with expertise in both of the organ systems primarily affected by pulmonary hypertension," said Usama Kanaan, M.D., Director of the Sibley Heart Center Pulmonary Hypertension Program. "This offers our patients coordinated care, as they are seen simultaneously by both specialists during one visit. Depending upon the patient's condition, other physicians may also be involved in his or her care. We are committed to maintaining excellent communication among all providers and ensuring the seamless delivery of coordinated care for each patient."
The Pulmonary Hypertension Program's multidisciplinary team includes four pediatric cardiologists, a pediatric pulmonologist and a dedicated nurse practitioner.

DCCC, Chef Dion's Restaurant to offer cooking series
Published: Tuesday, August 27, 2013 at 11:42 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 27, 2013 at 11:42 a.m.
Davidson County Community College will be cooking up international flavor thanks to a monthly series of continuing education courses that partner with Chef Dion's Restaurant in Welcome. The first class in the series will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. Sept. 8; cost is $49.
The class, "Chef Dion's Delicious Demos: Italian Dinner," will be led by Chef Dion Sprenkle who will explore the flavors of Italy while preparing phenomenal dishes for the class to taste.

He was the chef de cuisine at the New York Palace Hotel, executive chef at The Water Club and at Spazzia Restaurant, and chef de cuisine at Spartina Restaurant.
Hosted similar in fashion to a network television cooking show, Chef Dion will prepare a meal in front of the class while explaining every step of the way. Once finished, everyone will enjoy a meal of avocado gazpacho, chicken cacciatore and a cheese risotto. Class participants are encouraged to bring a bottle of white wine, preferably Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.
"We are excited to share this ongoing series that will feature a host of worldly flavors," said Rhonda Winters, part-time program coordinator for the School of Business, Engineering and Technical Studies at DCCC. "Cooking classes are always a great deal of fun but also educational in that folks in the community are literally opened up to the world of cooking. Having a talent like Chef Dion teach community members is a real treat. It's our hope that the community will join us in this international cooking adventure."
Future classes will be held in the coming months and will include both demonstrations, as well as hands-on cooking classes. October's theme will be "The Deep, Dense Flavors of Fall"; November's theme will be "Moroccan Thanksgiving."
A minimum of 10 students are required for the September class. Registration is preferred no later than Sept. 4. To register, call 224-4545.
The physical address for Chef Dion's Restaurant is 5479 Old U.S. Highway 52 in Welcome. Call 731-6496 for more information.

Fluid-Structure Interaction
Application ID: 361
This model demonstrates how to set up a fluid-structure interaction problem in COMSOL Multiphysics. It illustrates how fluid flow can deform solid structures and how to solve for the flow in a continuously deforming geometry.
The Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) multiphysics interface combines fluid flow with solid mechanics to capture the interaction between the fluid and the solid structure. A Solid Mechanics interface and a Single-Phase Flow interface model the solid and the fluid, respectively. The FSI couplings appear on the boundaries between the fluid and the solid. The Fluid-Structure Interaction interface uses an arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method to combine the fluid flow formulated using an Eulerian description and a spatial frame with solid mechanics formulated using a Lagrangian description and a material (reference) frame.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MightyDub right amount of retro I bought a 1950's house and the den has three walls of slightly orangy wood paneling and a gigantic 13 foot picture window. needless to say, finding window treatments was tricky. I painted the non-wooden wall a deep teal color, and purchased charcoal sofas for the room and then decided these curtains would add another punch of pattern and texture but didn't want to hang 6 of them to cover my huge window! So I purchased two, and then 4 of the Ivory Jute Sahaj Curtains. I put one of the Emma Floral curtains on each side of the window with the sheer jute curtains covering the majority of the window. It looks amazing! I was skeptical and had even planned on returning them until I got it all up. The pattern is just vintage enough that it looks like it was made for my wooden den, but just modern enough to bring some life to my room. July 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Verified Reviewer Love These drapes look wonderful in my dining room. An order of "1" is actually a package of two drapes, which I didn't realize so I ended up with twice as many drapes as needed. I was able to return the extras in store. January 25, 2013

2012 Industry Outlook: Momentum stalls
What a difference a year makes. Our 2011 industry outlook results showed that the materials handling industry was finally turning the corner, with budgets for equipment spending increasing from an average of $395,000 in 2010 to $451,000 in 2011. However, our 2012 State of Warehouse/DC Equipment and Technology Survey conducted for Modern Materials Handling by Peerless Research Group (PRG) shows forward momentum has stalled a bit.
To get a complete outlook of the materials handling market, in addition to gathering feedback from readers, Modern reached out to industry experts for automatic identification and data collection, lift trucks, software and conveyor equipment. And, they're seeing much of what our readers are reporting.
For example, our survey results tell us that companies are proceeding very cautiously and deliberately with their decisions to invest in materials handling solutions. In fact, 46% say they are taking a "wait and see" approach and making only mission-critical purchases. And, 40% of respondents say the economy has had little or no impact on materials handling spending and they are proceeding with investments. Average anticipated spending over the next 18 months has barely budged at $451,700. And, 92% of the respondents have rated cost containment as their No. 1 most important issue.
"What I hear from our members is that there is money out there, and there's a lot of quote activity, however, people are being cautious with regard to when they are releasing orders," says George Prest, CEO of the Material Handling Industry of America (MHIA). When they do release orders, Prest says, they are looking for increased productivity and throughput in various products and processes, especially in the warehousing and distribution segment.
With the economy in flux, the materials handling equipment industry's short-term future is simply not as rosy as hoped. In the next two to three years, fewer respondents (55%, down from 62%) are planning to increase their spending.
Over the next few pages we'll dig deeper into the data gleaned from the survey while tracking changes in the materials handling market over the past year.
Modern's survey results
According to the respondents who say they are proceeding with investments, their dollars are going to such things as information systems, RF devices, picking and inventory systems, automation, storage and racking, and conveyors and lifts.
This year, 47% report spending the same amount on materials handling solutions as they did last year, while 35% report an increase. In 2011, the average spending increase was 25% and the median increase was 19%, compared to 17% and 12% in 2010, respectively.
Moving forward into 2012, 45% expect their company's spending on materials handling solutions to stay the same, while 45% expect an increase and 15% anticipate a decrease.
"One of the reasons our industry has seen growth is that there is money out there," Prest adds. "However, companies are cautious about hiring people so they are investing in existing facilities and making their people more productive. That's the sweet spot of our industry; that's what we do."
What do these numbers mean in terms of dollars? Over the next 18 months, 15% of respondents say they expect to spend more than $1 million, with 8% of those expecting to spend more than $2.5 million. In the meantime, 23% expect to spend less than $25,000, with the remaining 62% ranging in between. While the average, $450,000, was flat between 2011 and 2012, the median anticipated spend is up slightly from $77,000 to $85,000.

Thousands of years ago, the Mayans and Aztecs used the cocoa bean as a form of currency; they believed it had magical properties and was perhaps even divine. Our love affair with chocolate continues, but at least one aspect of chocolate's mystery has recently been revealed.
There is a good bit of evidence showing that eating chocolate is related to a variety of health benefits. People who eat chocolate regularly tend to have a lower risk of stroke and heart attack; they also tend to have lower blood pressure.
Even though these benefits are well-documented, the exact reason for them has been unknown. A paper presented recently at the American Chemical Society in Dallas may have solved the mystery.
It appears certain bacteria in the digestive tract like chocolate as much as we do. They eat the chocolate and then ferment it into an anti-inflammatory product that is good for the heart.
Researchers from Louisiana State University (LSU) examined the effects of dark chocolate on the bacteria found in the gut. Three different cocoa powders were tested in a lab study designed to mimic the way chocolate is digested.
"Some components [of cocoa] are not digested but are changed by the microbiome in the gut. The products of these fermentations [are responsible for] some of the benefits attributed to cocoa," John Finley, lead researcher and Professor of Food Science at LSU, explained in an email.
Cocoa powder contains antioxidant compounds including catechin and epicatechin, as well as a small amount of dietary fiber. Initially, the antioxidants in cocoa are not digested and well absorbed, but when they reach the colon the bacteria there take over and ferment the fiber, breaking it down and creating smaller molecules that are more easily absorbed by the body. These smaller molecules provide the beneficialanti-inflammatory activity so many studies have noted.
The combination of the fiber in cocoa with prebiotics may be what helps create these beneficial anti-inflammatory compounds. Unlike probiotics, prebiotics are not bacteria, but indigestible dietary fiber compounds that provide food for the good bacteria in our digestive system.
Eating a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes provides plenty of soluble fiber to feed the good bacteria and can help the body overcome the effects of undesirable bacteria, such as Clostridia and some E. coli, that cause digestive problems.
The health benefits of dark chocolate may be increased when it is eaten in combination with solid fruits like pomegranates and acai, Finley believes, but this theory has yet to be tested.
Dr. Finley says the message to consumers is, "In moderation chocolate is good for you, and cocoa powder provides a multitude of potential benefits." When buying chocolate, keep in mind, "Darker is better."

The human papillomavirus (HPV) is a group of more than 150 kinds of viruses. These viruses can cause warts, such as genital warts. HPV is the most common sexually transmitted disease in the United States. Also called papillomas, genital warts are noncancerous tumors that may show up in or on the genital tract. There are more than 40 kinds of genital HPVs. To differentiate between the types of HPV, each has a number, such as HPV-16. Some of these have been linked to different kinds of cancer, including cervical, penile, anal, vaginal, vulvar, and oral cancers.
The most visible symptoms of HPV are genital warts. These can be found on the penis and around the anus in men. In women, they're found on the vulva, around the anus, inside the vagina, and on the cervix. In some cases, the warts may appear in the mouth area. HPV warts are usually flesh-colored and have a cauliflower-like appearance. They do not often cause pain but may cause itching. Warts inside the vagina or cervix are not visible and may not cause any symptoms.
Although genital HPV can spread through skin-to-skin contact, it is usually transmitted through vaginal, oral, or anal sex with a person who has the virus. Low-risk HPV types cause warts. Because warts may not always be present or visible and are not caused by high-risk HPV types, it is impossible to tell just by looking if a person has high-risk HPV. Also, people may not know they have HPV because they may not have symptoms.
A person who becomes sexually active at a young age or has sex with many partners has a greater risk of getting HPV infection. Having sex with someone who has had many partners in the past can also increase the risk of HPV. That's why it is important for sexual partners to discuss their sexual history and any sexually transmitted diseases they may have or have had. There is no guaranteed protection against getting genital HPV for people who are sexually active because skin-to-skin contact with an infected person can spread it. Using condoms during sex does not prevent HPV infection, although condoms can prevent other sexually transmitted diseases, such as HIV.
A doctor often diagnoses HPV in men when he or she sees warts on the surface of the penis. A man may also know that he is a carrier of the virus if a female partner is diagnosed with it. It is often more difficult to diagnose HPV in women because it is hard to detect or feel for warts inside the vagina or cervix, and high-risk types have no visible symptoms. It is important for women who are older than 21 to regularly have a pelvic exam and Pap smear, and after age 30 they should have a Pap smear with or without an HPV test. If something abnormal is found in a Pap test and/or HPV test, the doctor will probably recommend a colposcopy. This is a test in which the doctor uses a lighted magnifying tool called a colposcope to look at the vagina and cervix. The doctor may also recommend a biopsy, in which he or she removes a small tissue sample. Then a pathologist examines it under a microscope.
There is no cure for HPV. However, the infection sometimes goes away on its own. In other cases, doctors can treat HPV so the warts go away. The warts may come back, however, even after treatment. There are several ways to treat genital warts. Doctors can remove warts by freezing them off or by destroying them with intense laser light. They may also be removed through surgery. In addition, there are creams that can be used to destroy the warts. Some of these creams need to be applied by a doctor, while others are safe for use at home. Researchers are looking for more effective ways to treat HPV.
HPV infection is thought to be a major cause of cervical cancer. There are certain types of HPV, including HPV-16, HPV-18, HPV-31 and HPV-45, that increase a woman's risk of cervical cancer. HPV has been linked to vaginal and vulvar cancers, too. HPV is also linked to anal cancer and penile cancer in men. It has been linked to oral cancer in both men and women. Some types of HPV are less likely to turn into cancer. These include HPV-6 and HPV-11.
One of the vaccines, Gardasil, was approved by the FDA in 2006 and can protect men and women from HPV infections. It protects against 4 types of the HPV virus, including the 2 viruses that cause 90% of genital warts. Cervarix is the other HPV vaccine in use today. It was approved by the FDA in 2009 and also protects women from HPV infections. It protects against the 2 types of the HPV virus that cause most cervical cancers. The HPV vaccines can only be used to prevent HPV infection before people become sexually active. Both vaccines are administered as a series of 3 injections over a 6-month period. For the vaccines to be effective, 1 of them should be given before the person becomes sexually active or is exposed to HPV. Neither vaccine treats existing HPV infections.
According to the CDC, either of these vaccines are recommended for 11- and 12-year-old girls. The vaccines also can be given to girls and women ages 13 through 26 who did not get the vaccine when they were younger or who did not complete the vaccination series. Gardasil can also be given to boys between the ages of 9 and 26 and may be started during 1 of their preteen checkups.

THE SETTING TACA and the Dallas performing arts community joined forces once again to host their annual luncheon, this year honoring Peggy Sewell and Roger Nanney. THE SCENE Past honorees and guests joined event chairs Jan Showers and Sharon Young at the Hilton Anatole for a very entertaining lunch featuring sassy speaker Lee Cullum of KERA. With a little tongue-in-cheek humor about a certain ongoing Arts District imbroglio, Cullum had the crowd in stitches. Followed up by thanks from the two Silver Cup honorees, whose families smiled proudly from the audience, it made for a lovely lunch. Made all the lovelier with a performance by 2013 Neiman Marcus Performing Arts Scholar at SMU, Eleanor Dunbar, whose performance rendered the ballroom silent. THE CROWD There to recognize the two community leaders where a host of attendees, including Mayor Mike Rawlings, Kelli and Gerald Ford, Dr. R. Gerald Turner, Deedie Rose, Elaine Agather, Julie and Ed Hawes, Lynn McBee and more. And despite the chilly temps, you'd better believe this artcentric crowd was a sea of bright shades and pretty florals—spring is in the air! Photography by Dana Driensky and Daniel Driensky

City Council Ignores the Controlling Legal Opinion of City Solicitor
Posted on 05/16/2013 9:20 pm
Despite two legal opinions issued by the City Solicitor Michael P. Migliore citing proposed actions included in the budget were unconstitutional, as well as a violation of City Charter, tonight, City Council passed the Council Finance Committee's proposed Fiscal Year 2014 Operating Budget with a vote of 10 yes, two no, and one present. Mayor Dennis P. Williams confirms he will veto.
Council's version of the budget eliminated the $300,000 Contingency Fund for emergencies and unanticipated budgetary expenses. "The elimination of the Contingency Fund is unprecedented and completely irresponsible," said Mayor Williams.
Council rejected Mayor Williams' proposed budget, which included no property tax increase, no layoffs, no cuts in public safety and no cuts in services to citizens. Despite a widely projected 15% property tax increase for the FY 2014 budget, Mayor Williams and his Administration successfully avoided any tax increases.
"We have worked diligently to work with City Council and reach a compromise," said Mayor Williams. "It's not about me and it's not about City Council; it's about proposing a budget that is legal, fiscally responsible, and serves the citizens of the City of Wilmington."
However, this proposal was rejected by Council by the Finance Committee.
Despite the latest effort to compromise, Council moved forward with the budget crafted by Council President Theopalis K. Gregory, Sr. and Finance Committee Chair Charles Freel.
Mayor Williams asserted his willingness to meet Council half-way, but stated, "What I cannot and will not do is accept a proposal the City Solicitor indicates is unconstitutional due to a violation of the doctrine of separation of powers."
As required by City Charter, City Council must adopt a budget on or before May 31st of each year.
"I am confident the City will have a spending plan for the upcoming fiscal year. We will get there. I'll veto this budget and we will continue working with Council to come up with a plan that is legal and is in the best interest of our citizens," said Mayor Williams.

Tomorrow at 7pm, National Geographic Live presents a one-of-a-kind evening with some of hip-hop's most legendary figures. The event will feature Nas and Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley in a discussion about the often under-appreciated evolution of and deep-rooted connections between reggae and hip-hop.
Hip-hop, now a multibillion-dollar industry, originated as a vital form of cultural expression in Africa that was translocated by the slave trade to the Caribbean and the American colonies. It blossomed a half century ago in the dance halls of Kingston, Jamaica, and soon migrated to the parks jams and recreational centers of New York City, where the culture became known as hip-hop. This evolution forms the basis of the Distant Relatives music project, a collaborative effort by Marley and Nas, which will comprise of an album set for release in early 2010, a documentary film, performances and a series of public discussions.
Joining Nas and Marley for this conversation, moderated by MTV VJ Sway, will be key players in the development of both musical genres, including Kool Herc, Rakim, Daddy U-Roy, King Jammy, Jeff Chang, Pat McKay, Waterflow and DJ Red Alert.
You can watch the event live streaming here.

Below is information on upcoming school collaborative performances for the education initiative in 'Viols in Our Schools', a pilot-program of the Viola da Gamba Society of America and organized by Phillip W. Serna of the Spirit of Gambo – a Chicago Consort of Viols:
April 10, 2008, Residency at the High School at the Performing and Visual Arts
Lecture Performances about early stringed instruments (specifically viols/ violas da gamba) for music & history students
April 11, 2008, Residency at Johnston Middle School
Lecture Performances about early stringed instruments (specifically viols/ violas da gamba) for music & history students
For more information see http://violsinourschools.org/
Focusing on Music, History (European History) and English (Music of Shakespeare's time) classes. A pilot program for the Viola da Gamba Society of America and the Spirit of Gambo, a Chicago Consort of Viols, 'Viols in Our Schools' focuses on bringing early strings to the classroom setting. With the viola da gamba/ viol's connection to the evolution of the guitar (via the lute), it is an ideal instrument to introduce earlier repertoire to guitar classes, while it's frequent use in the madrigal repertoire and use as a continuo instrument makes the viol an ideal for demonstrating to choral classes as well as to music theory and history classes. In addition to music programs, 'Viols in Our Schools' demonstrates early European music to European history classes, as well as English/ Literature classes focusing on Elizabethan/ Shakespearen England.

vitova.ale Okay, we spent 2 nights in your hostel and it was really good. It is very cheap, in good place (near railway station, metro and city centre). They offer great breakfast and other. The room and bathroom were very clean. The staff was friendly and kindly and helped us with our problems or gave some advice to us. The only negative I found, it was a little bit noisy, especially in the morning. And we weren´t there in the season when hostel is full.

Yeah, I know, it's only Tuesday and I'm already looking ahead. However, it's a BUSY, busy, busy weekend around the state and there is a handful of things to do and events to attend taking place. Obviously we will be getting all sorts of artsy at the Utah Arts Festival, but we are quite excited about a little gourmand experience on Saturday.
Saturday marks the 4th annual Savor the Summit in Park City. Not familiar with it? Savor is a celebration of summer, music, food and the mountain atmosphere. The Park City Restaurant Association blocks off main street to vehicle traffic, setting up one long, continuous table spanning the length of Main Street. Attendees are invited to purchase a tasting at one of their favorite restaurants where they will sample a tasting and additional wine pairings with 1,500 or so of their closest friends.
All you have to do is call one of the participating resturants (see the list here) and make a reservation. Tastings range from $40-$150. Live music and entertainment start around 4 p.m. and those who aren't participating in the culinary aspect are certainly welcome to partake in all music and activity.
....and in other good news, the weather is supposed to remain in the '80s, so hello sum-sum-summer time.
Make a reso stat, restaurants are selling out right and left. We promise you don't want to miss this. Already got tix? Let us know where you'll be sitting in the comments below!
Oh, don't want to buy? Stayed tuned to our Facebook Page (Facebook.com/SaltLakeMag) to find out how you can win a pair of tix to the Ruth's Chris table OR leave a comment below telling us why you love Salt Lake mag! We'll chose a winner by Thursday afternoon!
