A group of young women take part in the
Women in Leadership Project.
The Fiji Women's Rights Movement (FWRM) was established in 1986 and since then has been at the forefront of the women's movement in Fiji. The organisation is:
- committed to removing discrimination against women and believe that change can happen if the law treats women and men equally
- fighting for legal reforms and a change in attitude towards women and women's rights within their community and society as a whole
- using research, legal advice, advocacy training and literacy programmes to raise awareness of women's rights amongst both women and men in Fiji
Oxfam has a long-standing relationship with the Fiji Women's Rights Movement which began with our support for their Women's Employment and Economic Rights project in 1993.
In 2003, the group achieved a significant victory with the Fiji Parliament unanimously passing the Family Law Bill – the culmination of 13 years' work by the Fiji Women's Rights Movement. The Bill recognises women's non-financial contribution to a marriage, allowing domestic housewives to claim a share in the matrimonial property should divorce occur. It also ensures that during child custody proceedings, the right of the child to be raised in an environment that will help in their development is essential.
Oxfam and gender justice in Fiji
- New leaders Oxfam is currently working with the Fiji Women's Rights Movement on the Young Women in Leadership programme. This project focuses on young women between the ages of 14 and 25, and aims to train each of them to be able to inform and influence their peers on issues such as reproductive rights and building self-confidence, as well as how to deal with discrimination.
- Action for change Oxfam supported the work of the Women's Action for Change (WAC) group for many years. The group works with disadvantaged people in Fiji such as women, sexual minorities and young people, encouraging them to strive for a fairer, more just and equal society.
- A woman of courage The Director of the Fiji Women's Rights Movement won two prestigious international awards.

Kaukab Shah Husain, member of Muslim Sisters of Dayton (MSD), asked the members of their youth club to look at the situation of the recent kidnapping of little girls in Nigeria and their new leader. She wanted them to reflect on the current events that are unfolding and the views of the new leader, their perspective on how they feel the new leader is portraying the views of a true Muslim. The stories she received were compassionate, heartfelt but most of all, told the difference between tyrant dictator and the true wholesome beliefs of Muslims.
This is one of the letters she received from youth, Zuha Nazir. Zuha was born and raised in Dayton. She attends Centerville High School and is currently in the 10th grade. She's interested in following her father's footsteps and pursuing medicine to become a cardiologist. Her passion is reading, playing squash and writing poetry. Zuha has a younger sister and brother.
Here is her letter:
Ten thousand lives gone.
More than 250 little girls torn apart from their families.
Kidnapping, selling and killing little girls.
Boko Haram claims to be a "Muslim organization" whose goal is solely to establish a "pure" Islamic state. The name "Boko Haram" literally means western education is a sin. The group argues that any type of western society is haram or forbidden and should be absolutely avoided. They believe that western government, education and society are corrupting Muslims. Its followers are influenced by the Qur'anic phrase "Anyone who is not governed by what Allah has revealed is among the transgressors" (5:44).
Boko Haram falsely categorizes itself as a Muslim organization behind the face of their current so-called Islamist leader, Abubakar Shekau. Ever since Shekau has taken charge, Nigeria has faced an outbreak of bombings, assassinations and now abductions.
Although Shekau's followers believe that he is a scholar and refer to him as their "Imam," he is known to be quite the opposite. Shekau is never seen in public, but does post videos in which he has said "I enjoy killing anyone that God commands me to kill - the way I enjoy killing chickens and rams" (Nigeria's Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau in profile. 2014, May 9. Retrieved fromhttp://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-18020349).
Boko Haram is not Islam. It states directly in the Qur'an: "fight in the cause of God those who fight you, but do not transgress the limits; for God loves not transgressors" (2:190-193). The Qur'an never encourages violence, and clearly states that violence is to be only used as a defense mechanism, and once the opposition gives up, you must stop as well.
Muslims can only directly fight people who have attacked them first. Attacking an innocent bystander, or in this case defenseless Nigerian girls, is forbidden.
The Qur'an also states that if anyone killed a person not in retaliation of murder, and/or to spread mischief in the land, it would be as if he killed all mankind. And if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind" (5:32-33).
The Qur'an repeatedly teaches us to respect each and every life irrespective of religion or nationality by stressing that every life is equally important.
Boko Haram is responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent people. They have destroyed our humanity thousands of times. Yet they claim to be Muslims even though it is manifested in their actions that they are contradictory to the teachings of Islam.
Education itself is a vital message conveyed throughout the Qur'an; in fact, the first verse revealed to Prophet Muhummad (peace be upon him) was "Read." The Qur'an encourages all to ponder, to learn, to think.
A knife can be used to cut an apple or to kill a man. Knowledge and education should not be used for the wrong reasons. Knowledge is power, and we can use that power to help make the world a better place.
MSD is a newly formed local organization dedicated to promoting charitable activities throughout the Dayton/Cincinnati/Springfield areas. The organization was founded in January 2012 by Husain. The charity provides positive representation of Islamic values and builds strong and productive relationship within and outside the community. They work in the true spirit of Islam by getting involved in organizations such as Global Youth Service Day, Feed Ohio, providing staple food packages to the under served during the month of Ramadan, donating 1000+ books to inner city schools, providing clothing and household goods to the under served, and making monetary donations to Women for Women International and Islamic Relief for Syria and Palestine. MSD also volunteers at Hannah's Treasure Chest, Heartland of Centerville and knits newborn baby caps for Kettering Hospital.

Addressing Your Password Nightmares with an Enterprise Single Sign-On Platform: Live Webcast
By B Shashikumar on Oct 12, 2011
Who hasn't experienced a forgotten password nightmare? In the information security business, we constantly hear about horror stories that resulted from forgotten passwords. Corporate users need access to many enterprise applications on a regular basis. For instance, an employee who uses six different applications might have six unique passwords. To eliminate the need to look up passwords each time they use one of their applications, some users tend to select easy-to-remember passwords. Unfortunately, these obvious passwords are easier for unauthorized users to figure out, enabling them to gain access to sensitive applications. If users forget their passwords, then they call IT helpdesk. In fact ,some studies estimate that more than 25% of help desk calls are related to password resets. Password-related help desk calls cost money and take IT personnel away from core tasks.
Oracle Enterprise Single Sign-On Suite Plus solves these challenges by letting users access any kind of application regardless of whether it is a mainframe app or a client server app or a web app or a SaaS app with a single password. Oracle ESSO Suite Plus can drastically slash the number of password-related calls received every year along with associated helpdesk costs. When it comes to evaluating ESSO solutions, it is important for organizations to think about how to manage identity profiles and permissions throughout the entire identity lifecycle, thereby ensuring regulatory compliance – with mandates like Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA, and simplified administration – how you can manage password policies from a single console. A comprehensive ESSO solution which integrates well with other Identity Management funcitonalities like user provisioning, directory services and access management can significantly strengthen an organization's overall security.
In our live webcast on Oct 19th, we will discuss how Oracle Enterprise Single-Sign On Suite can not only eliminate your password reset and helpdesk headaches but also offers a healthy ROI which enterprises just cannot overlook. It has been demonstrated that Oracle ESSO Suite can deliver an ROI of 140% within the first year of deployment. Join us on this webcast to find out how Oracle ESSO Suite Plus can deliver quick wins for your organization. Register here for this webcast.

There are certain places and certain geographical landmarks that hold a certain aura and a magic to them as they are just a landmark in pop culture history. This documentary "Sunset Strip" is an interesting look back at one of the more iconic mile and a half roads on the face of the planet.
"Sunset Strip" is a historical valentine to what is perhaps Los Angeles' most celebrated thoroughfares and reveals its nearly 100-year history and its significance in culture worldwide. Archival photos , videos and interviews capture the Strip and famed habitués from mobsters like Mickey Cohen all the way to the likes of Hugh Hefner, Johnny Depp, Slash and Mickey Rourke.
It's not the kind of documentary that is designed to be flashy despite the amount of celebrity testimonials, but as a historical time capsule, "Sunset Strip" gets the job done as it relays some pretty unique history in a fairly entertaining fashion.
Co-writer and director Hans Fjellestad takes us down this stretch of road from its early days as a section of dirt road, hitting landmark by landmark like the Chateau Marmont and the Viper Room, getting stories from the hotels and clubs that have made The Strip such a landmark not only in Los Angeles but across the globe for all of these years. The film has a myriad of subjects and quite often a few too many as the cavalcade of famous talking heads that come across the screen can be a little overwhelming, but tracking the evolution of the street was fascinating.
As the times and the music changed, so did the street and so much of popular culture revolved around the strip that just being in the club and walking down the street was being a part of a rock and roll revolution. The phrase Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll was truly born on the strip and it is the epicenter of Hollywood decadence from its very inception. The film is filled with a sensation of equal parts nostalgia and bafflement as upon retrospective these hard living actors, musicians and comedians got to take part in a unique creative vibe of the time that would never ever be able to be recreated today.
Special features on this DVD include an animated history of the Sunset Strip, 4 behind the scenes featurettes about the Sex, Riots, Comedy and Rock 'n Roll on the Sunset Strip, the theatrical trailer and extended interviews with the likes of Billy Corgan, Johnny Depp, Keanu Reeves, Mick Fleetwood, Ozzy & Sharon Osbourne, Slash, Tommy Lee, Mickey Rourke and Mark Mahoney.
All of it makes for an interesting little time capsule for pop culture, music and movie aficionados, because while "Sunset Strip" doesn't necessarily bring any genuinely new information to the table, it is pretty neat to see it all neat and tidy in one place as the people who lived through it, reminisce about the peaks of creative debauchery that one city street has seen in its life time.
4 out of 5 stars.
"Sunset Strip" is now available on DVD & Blu-Ray from all major providers and retailers.

The Chief Executive Officer is supposed to set the tone for the whole company. He or she should embody all the virtues, vision, and high standards that make a business great. Sadly, this isn't always the case. Instead, CEOs can be bullies, liars, frauds, and worse. According to the latest information from the Ethics Resource Center, only 4 out of 10 employees now report seeing misconduct on the job (55% reported observing misconduct in 2007). However, the amount of bad behavior is still directly correlated to status. The higher you go on the corporate food chain, the more rule breaking and unethical activity you encounter. How can you address this issue as an employee?
Assess Your Strategic Mechanisms
How people judge the behavior of a CEO varies greatly. The same things that you deem disruptive can be viewed as evidence of leadership to others. So it's worth gathering intel from those that seem to be in favor with the CEO. Granted the individuals could be buddies, but they could have more skill navigating the minefield of when to speak up and when to go with the flow. As data points go, you can engage in conversations with these people and get a sense of how to pivot mentally around the CEO.
Furthermore, when it comes to thinking through things strategically, remember that it's not about you, how you feel, or wishing the "bad" person would go away. You must treat your situation objectively searching simply for the leverage that allows you to do your job and get on with the business of taking care of business. People who fall prey to the victim mentality - hoping, coping, and compromising their way out of the emotional pit - won't get out of it. Look ahead at the greater picture – what do you want to achieve, and what is the wicked problem you need to solve when it comes to dealing with the behavior? The framework you build in this manner informs the tactics you take.
Be Aware That the Board Might Care
According to a working paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, CEOs who engage in unethical conduct tend to be part of a sleazy culture that permeates the entire corporation. These CEOs are also more likely to get terminated than their ethical colleagues. These days, shareholders have a very low tolerance for leaders who misbehave. Consider becoming a shareholder to gain some access to decision making at this level. Seeing your face at the annual meeting might give a CEO pause the next time she thinks about bringing the hammer down on you.
Don't Blow Your Lid
Above all, don't wait until you feel like you can't take it anymore before you act—that's when people make rash decisions. Some workers use sites like Glassdoor to publicize awful behavior on the part of executives. When a company cares about its image, this might be one way to ensure that concerns are investigated instead of being ignored. If this is the only way you feel you can hold a bad CEO accountable, seek legal advice and then proceed with caution.
Also, remember that making defamatory (untrue or unprovable) statements that damage the reputation of a CEO or their company can lead to legal trouble. If you are going to blow the whistle, go through official channels whenever possible. At least you'll have some legal protection rather than being left out in the cold.
Ask for Help
In the end, some behavior goes above and beyond any rational handling. Gross ethical violations or other personal and mental abuse that hugs or crosses over legal lines deserves an audience with those powerful enough to do something. This is not an easy task and groups like HR, Ethics Committee, or other bodies may or may not have enough power to make change happen.
If you face such a choice then go back to the strategic framework you created. An exit strategy may be the wisest choice when your reputation, financial basis and emotional basis are crippled or soon will be. Ultimately walking away should not be deemed as failure but rather correct for the situation at hand.
Fortunately in most cases, bad CEO behavior can be addressed like most poor behaviors in organizations whether it's an employee or manager. Methods may vary depending on your personality or the personality of the individual in question, but a reasoned approach to options is likely to give you the path forward and allow you to retain both your sanity and your job.

Open Source, Java, and Oracle - Cracking the Code
By Tori Wieldt-Oracle on Jul 26, 2011
OSCON might be an odd place to say that Oracle doesn't have an open source strategy. Rather, it has a large company strategy to deliver complete, open and integrated solutions to their customers. Steve Harris, Senior VP, App Server Dev, Oracle, said just this in his keynote at OSCON Java yesterday. To explain how Oracle thinks of open source, Harris said that the company does not have a top-down strategy around open source, but rather individual lines of business have open source strategies to meet business needs. In relation to Java, which resides in the Oracle Middleware line of business, the priority is to keep Java vibrant with increased investment in platform, continuing to move towards free and open, and to improve support for the Java developer community. In a nod to Oracle's understanding of perceptions about Oracle in the open source community, Steve Harris introduced the humorous "Perceived Open Source Threat Level" graphic and said "We're not where we should be, but it has gotten better and it will get better. "

Dr. James Utter, Associate Professor of Environmental Science at Purchase College, received the Green Achievement Award from Dutchess County Executive William R. Steinhaus October 25. The award recognizes the work of individuals and corporations who are making strides to help sustain and protect the environment.
"Our Green Achievement Awards are our way of recognizing those who have gone the extra mile to preserve and protect the environment," said County Executive Steinhaus. This is the first year the awards were granted.
Dr. Utter was recognized in the Individual Category for his efforts and work as chairman of Friends of the Great Swamp (FrOGS), which is dedicated to the preservation of the 6,000 acre, 20-mile long Great Swamp. He has brought together more than 15 local organizations and individuals, who have worked to obtain easements and ownership protection for hundreds of Great Swamp acres, funded by federal grants and private donations. Successful grant applications have totaled over $3 million. Dr. Utter's tireless leadership of FrOGS has worked to make the numerous benefits of the Great Swamp widely known in Dutchess County and beyond.
This was the second honor Dr. Utter has received in October. On the 19th, he received the 2007 Community Leadership Award by the Board of Directors of Camp Herrlich in Patterson, N.Y. for his leadership of FrOGS.

A lawsuit in New Jersey state court alleges that the chief executive of Modell's Sporting Goods, Mitch Modell, misrepresented himself at Dick's Sporting Goods in order to gather information about its operations, according to the New Jersey Law Journal. We at Comedians at Law were fortunate enough to overhear the conversation culminating in the lawsuit:
Dick, Jr.: Welcome to Dick's! May I help you sir? From the way you're pulling at your crotch, you look like you're in the market for a new athletic supporter!
Mitch: Actually, I am. I bought my last one at Modell's and it squeezed me so tight, I was singing like a soprano.
Dick Jr.: Well, we can't have that! Let's go into the dressing room and try this baby on. What do you say?
Mitch: Thanks but I think my boys and I can handle it ourselves. Love that customer service, though!
Dick Jr.: Is there anything else I can do for you?
Mitch: Yes, Dick, there is. Would you mind taking me into the inner vault where you keep all of the information on your on line sales, inventory, distributors and client purchases and make me copies? They're for my ailing mother. She likes to read.
Dick Jr.: I don't see why not! In my new employee training last week, they told us to always keep the customer satisfied. Our tienda is your tienda!
Mitch: That's the spirit, Dick. Your badge says Dick so I assume that's your name.
Dick Jr.: It is, sir. My father owns the store. I come from a long line of Dicks.
Mitch: No doubt!
Dick Jr.: Well, let's get copies of all of those papers for momma and put that supporter in a bag. Thank you for shopping at Dick's, sir, and please come again.
Mitch: One more thing, Dick. Can you please point me to the mens's room?
Dick Jr.: I'm really sorry, sir. That's for employees only.
Comedians at Law will be performing at Levity Live in West Nyack, NY on April 10th at 7:30. Get your tickets now at:
One Response to Mine is Bigger
That was hilarious. You guys should do a re-enactment.
You know, Mitch Modell was featured on Undercover Boss (he cried and everything) and maybe he just took it a little too far.

NWA Southern All-Star Wrestling saw the crowning of a new champion on Friday night in Millersville.
Heading into Friday night, "Standout" Charles Alexander had finally gotten the green light from his doctor to return to action after several weeks due to a shoulder injury. While Alexander would not be able to compete in the ring, he would remain a staple in Millersville. Making appearances each week, showing that he was getting stronger and stronger. Alexander would make his way back to the squared circle on Friday night excited to make his return. But what he was not expecting was the challenge of Kevin Weatherby.
Weatherby had been making his intentions known over the last few weeks to the NWA SAW crowd and to the locker room. Wanting to gain the notoriety that he thought he had deserved being the son of NWA SAW owner T. J. Weatherby, Kevin Weatherby had even went to the Nitro's Noise segment to make his feelings known.
"You want to know what my problem is," Weatherby told Nick Nitros, "yeah I came out here and threw my father's name around. It's a fact; he signs your check, and everyone else's check. I broke my teeth here and have been here since day one. You want to know what my problem is, I'm sick and tired of being looked over like I'm some nobody. All week, I've sat and thought long and hard and when I walked in this building tonight, it hit me. Uncle Reno was right!"
After that segment, Weatherby went straight to NWA SAW management and demanded a title shot at Charles Alexander. So on April 11th, Weatherby got his match against Alexander. While these two men showed that they were ready to hold the NWA Southern Junior Heavyweight title. But it would be the enforcement that Weatherby had brought to the ring in Tim Jernigan that would be the one piece of the puzzle that was needed. A distraction by Jernigan to Alexander would give Weatherby the advantage and the three count to become the new NWA Southern Junior Heavyweight Champion.
NWA SAW management announced on Tuesday morning that the new NWA Southern Junior Heavyweight Champion Kevin Weatherby would be the guest for Nick Nitros and his controversial Nitros' Noise segment on Friday night. What will Weatherby have to say to Nitros?
NWA SAW is located at 1214B Louisville Highway in Millersville, TN. Doors open on Friday, April 18, 2014, at 7:00 p.m. with bell time at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $10.

The newest registered breed in the Cat Fancy Association, (CFA) the Burmilla is an ideal pet not only because of its gentle character but its breeding encourages a competitive personality.
This breed originated in the 1980's by Baroness Miranda Von Kirchberg. She bought a Chinchilla Persian as gift for her husband. The cat escaped the confines of their home just before he was taken to the veterinarian to be neutered and mated with a Lilac Burmese. Von Kirchberg found the resulting litter in 1981 so enchanting that she decided to develop the breed.
Having the kitten-like personality of the Burmese through adulthood and the calmness of the Persian, the Burmilla makes an ideal family pet. They are easily maintained cats, affectionate to their owners and are gentle with children.
These independent and intelligent cats are easily trained for agility competition. They do well in the show ring and make good therapy cats. Because of their versatility, they are a complementary addition to any cat loving family.
The coat is white with tan to lilac points on the face. The length of the coat is long or semi-long and feathers at the bottom line, the legs and chest. The texture is silky and needs minimum grooming. Large yellow-green eyes become more green as adults. Their heads are short and round with small ears. The body is short coupled.
The CFA does not support declawing but encourages proper training. The association promotes a clean environment and good, healthy nutrition. Breeders do not release kittens until they are about sixteen weeks old. This assures the breeder that the kittens are well socialized and have had all of their shots. It is recommended that these cats be kept indoors, neutered or spayed and to keep acceptable surfaces around the house for scratching posts.
Milwaukee area residence can find more detailed information about the Burmilla at the Milwaukee Public Library. The breed is rarely found in the United States so Milwaukee area residents who are interested in purchasing a Burmilla can find reputable breeders on the CFA website.

The sanctioning bodies are easy targets for ridicule. Many fightwriters like to spank them—and let me make this clear, the spankings are often deserved—for transgressions against decency and common sense, but one notices that the same vitriol, the same hawk-eyed attention isn't always paid to other power brokers who might be better positioned to counter-attack.
Therefore, when I see something good, or something that might be good in the long run that a sanctioning body is doing, in a nod to contrarian logic and "fairness," I try to spotlight it.
The WBC is creating a "champions fund," which by their description will "provide monthly pensions to many former champions from around the world currently living in difficult situation."
I think that is a commendable endeavor, and hope that the program will be overseen in an efficient way, so that maximum aid can go to those in need.
The Swiss luxury watch brand Hublot and Jose Sulaiman, WBC president are launching an online and telephone auction process with Bonham's House, and all are welcomed to register at http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/20968/.
The WBC indicated in literature to the press that they "intend to educate current boxers to find responsible advisors who can help them prepare for the future with today's earnings," which is also a great concept.
Also, on Sept. 29, they will hold a charitable gala, in Las Vegas, to raise money to grow the pension fund. 12 unique timepieces will be auctioned. Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis , George Foreman, Tommy Hearns, Roberto Duran, Oscar de la Hoya and other fistic luminaries are slated to attend.
I asked Mauricio Sulaiman of the WBC for some specifics on the pension plan. He said the plan is registered in the US, and will be administered by a committee including Sig Rogich, Dr. James Nave, and Steve Crosson. The money will be handled and invested by the firm GBM, a subsidiary of Santander, the third largest bank in the UK in deposits. He said that ex champs such as Emile Griffith, Gerald McClellan, John Mugabi, Wilfred Benitez, and Jeff Harding, among others, will benefit. "Some names are kept secret to respect their wish of privacy," Mauricio said. "The goal of the auction is to raise one million dollars."
TSS wishes all involved the best of luck, and reiterates our desire that as much of the money as humanly possible gets into the hands that need it most, and a bare minimum is used for administrative costs.
When I read that this pay-per-view and that one grossesmulti-millions of dollars, part of me always wonders when some of those that benefit most might be motivated to set up a proper pension fund, so not just champions, but fighters of all stripes who gave of themselves in the ring, and left parts of themselves behind, could be better positioned to get a hand up when they need it. I will continue to believe in the basic goodness in people, and believe it is only a matter of time before some stellar athlete or other person of considerable means, with an equally gleaming soul, put this charitable scenario into motion.
I just hope that it stays legit. Many times the WBC has been full of the bad s-word that rhymes with spit. And if you are too turtle-like to catch on, that s-word would be SH*T! Hehehe! Holla!
hey you know they will take the union dues out and skim of the top like every business agent. better to manage your own retirement fund. put 15% into hard assets every year. you can buy some real estate and or a business, but dont go spending at a strip club or have your boy open a pizza joint. it wont work.( see ray mancini as an example on business/retirement)
I am now not positive where you're getting your info, but great topic. I must spend some time studying much more or figuring out more. Thanks for wonderful information I used to be on the lookout for this info for my mission.

Though the Jordanelle Reservoir isn't as full as in years past, there was still plenty of water, waves and wake for the competitors at the Park City Standup Paddleboarding Cup on Saturday morning.
With boards lining the concrete at the personal watercraft ramp, racers filtered into the water as their events were called, starting with a surfboard-style race and ending with a dash for the cash, in which the fastest male and fastest female competitors were each awarded $500.
PC SUP founder Trent Hickman said the racers got to paddle in ideal conditions.
"We got really lucky with the weather," he said. "We had nice calm water and plenty of sunshine. We couldn't have asked for better."
Hickman oversaw the day's activities, but also competed in the elite division race, where he finished a close second to Kristian Mulholland.
"Kristian and I had a nice little battle going," he said. "We were neck and neck."
Hickman beat Mulholland at one of the races last year, but he said he just couldn't quite get around him on the last lap of Saturday's race.
"He's a beautiful competitor," Hickman said. "He trains hard and he's sort of a scientist with his methodology. My hat's off to him; he earned it. But we'll see what happens in August (at the next PC SUP Cup race)."
Mulholland also won the dash for the cash on the men's side, with Amy Spencer capturing the check from RyanTech for the women.
Hickman said the event has changed since last year.
"It's grown a bit, and we're happy to grow it organically," he said. "We get the same people back race after race, and then they bring a friend. We're happy with the growth process that we have because we definitely want to keep it in the community and inspire the people here in Park City to come out and do the race and understand the sport."
The Cup race proceeds benefited the Park City Recycle Center/Recycle Utah, as well as the Park City Education Foundation and a group called DesignBuildBLUFF, which builds sustainable houses for Native American families in Bluff, Utah.
Hickman said the organizations were chosen because they all fit the philosophy of PC SUP.
"We believe in taking care of the planet clean water, clean rivers, snow, fresh air," he said. "We truly believe in doing the best job we can to take care of the environment."
He said education is an important part of that mission too.
"The children are the future, so we want to support the kids any way we can," he said. "And if you take education and you combine it with sustainability and recycling, out the other end comes a better planet."
Hickman said there were too many sponsors to thank individually, but that he and PC SUP appreciate all the time and products donated to the organization.
"There are so many local businesses that support us," he said. "We're really thankful for all the community support we get. It helps us put on a quality event."
The next PC SUP Cup race will take place on Aug. 24. Go to www.pcsupcup.com to register.

Many students feel pressure to choose a major that will "get them a good job." While it's true that some majors have a direct connection to certain career paths, the reality is that most career paths can be pursued by someone with any particular academic major, and most majors give students a wide variety of career paths they can pursue. There can be a lot of benefit to exploring different majors that interest you, and at Valpo it is usually fairly easy to double-major or add a minor(s) to give your program of study a bit more variety.
It is also perfectly normal, and extremely common, for students to change majors at some point during their academic career at Valpo. Your best bet is to major in something that interests you, and gives you a good chance to succeed academically. Below are a handful of resources that may help you get started with the process of selecting a major.
Timeline for Choosing a Major
It is a great idea to start thinking about what you might want to major in before you get to college, so you've at least got a list of possibilities to explore and discuss with faculty and advisors. At the latest, you'll need to select a major by the end of your sophomore year, which will give you an opportunity to do internships and "test drive" career options as an upperclassman.
You may even decide after your sophomore year that you want to change majors - this is certainly OK, even if it might add an additional year to your coursework. It is usually best to figure this out while you're in school, rather than afterward.

James White leads the league through Round 7 in minutes played with 234:18 – or 33:28 per game.
White recorded the first and to date only double-double of his Euroleague career in last season's season opener against Efes. White tallied 13 points and 10 rebounds for Unics Kazan in an 82-76 defeat in Istanbul.
White is averaging 14.7 points, 6 rebounds and a performance index rating of 19 in home games this season, but just 8.8 points, 4.7 rebounds and an index rating of 6.5 on the road.
Miro Bilan has scored in double figures in each of his last 12 Euroleague games.
Fran Pilepic is a perfect 14 for 14 on free throws in his Euroleague career.
Pilepic has made at least 1 three-pointer in each of his last four games; he is shooting 5 for 7 from downtown over that span.
Jacob Pullen has made 11 consecutive free throws in Euroleague games.
Luka Babic has made 9 consecutive free throws in Euroleague games.
Anadolu Efes leads the league in three-point shooting at 47.98% through Round 7.
Thomas Heurtel is tied with Crvena Zvezda playmaker Stefan Jovic for the Euroleague lead through seven games this season with 7.7 assists per game.
Heurtel needs just 20 more assists to become the 18th player in competition history to reach 500 career assists.
Jon Diebler leads the league in three-pointers made through Round 7 this season with 26; he has made multiple three-pointers in every game this season.
Jayson Granger has made at least 1 three-pointer in nine straight Euroleague games.
Dario Saric has made 13 consecutive free throws in Euroleague games.
Saric was a teammate of Cedevita players Marko Arapovic, Tomislav Zubcic and Lovro Mazalin at different periods at Cibona Zagreb between 2012 and 2014.
Saric has played alongside both Luka Zoric and Miro Bilan over recent summers on the Croatian national team.
Birkan Batuk is averaging 14 points on 70% three-point shooting (7 of 10) on the road this season compared to 1 points on 25% from downtown (1 of 4) at home.
Anadolu Efes Istanbul used a 2-17 fourth quarter run to rally from a 10-point fourth quarter deficit and pull out a crucial 75-81 road win over Cedevita Zagreb in the Croatian capital on Thursday. Efes needed to wait until much later to celebrate, but when Olympiacos Piraeus defeated EA7 Emporio Armani Milan in Greece, Efes was mathematically assured a spot in the Top 16. The two teams split victories this season, and the margin from this win is identical to the score by which Cedevita won in Istanbul in Round 3. Both teams now hold 4-4 records in Group B. The two teams traded leads in the first half, before Jacob Pullen and Miro Bilan led Cedevita to a 13-0 run in the third quarter, and the hosts pulled away to 68-58 early in the fourth. But Derrick Brown and Bryant Dunston led Efes back, before Dario Saric and Birkan Batuk hit back-to-back threes to put the visitors up 70-75. Efes never relinquished the lead as Saric led the way with 16 points plus 10 rebounds in his first return to his home country as an Efes player. Brown had 12 points and 6 rebounds, while Jayson Granger added 10 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds. Jon Diebler also scored 10 in victory. Bilan collected 18 points and 8 rebounds, while Pullen had 17 points and 5 assists for Cedevita. Fran Pilepic went 4 for 4 from downtown to finish with 12 points and Luka Babic contributed 10 points and 7 rebounds in the losing effort.
Babic and Birkan Batuk traded three-pointers to open the scoring, before Alex Tyus banked a short jumper, then followed it with a put-back to make it 3-7. Babic made a runner, starting a Cedevita run. James White continued it with a layup, before Bilan finished consecutive possessions with layups to give Cedevita an 11-7 advantage. But the hosts missed all 4 of their free throw attempts, and after an Efes timeout, Diebler nailed a triple, before Saric finished a fastbreak with a layup, then added a jumper to the tally, making it 11-14. Pullen opened his account with a runner that snapped a 0-7 run, but Granger buried a triple to make it 13-17 after 10 minutes.
Pullen and Babic made back-to-back jumpers at the start of the quarter before, Brown and Bilan traded baskets from close range. A three-pointer from Fran Pilepic put Cedevita back in front, 24-22. But Diebler scored an easy fastbreak layup, before Brown scored 5 consecutive points, including a coast-to-coast layup, giving Efes a 24-30 lead. Marko Arapovic and Pilepic nailed back-to-back three-pointers to tie the game right away. But after an Efes timeout, Diebler and Granger buried back-to-back triples to restore Efes's lead, 30-36. Tyus and Gordic exchanged close-range baskets, and Pilepic nailed his third triple, getting the hosts within 37-38. Tyus and Luka Zoric traded free throws before Granger assisted on a Saric layup, making it 39-42 at halftime.
Saric knocked down a triple, and Thomas Heurtel raced for a fastbreak layup to open a 39-47 margin. Bilan had an easy layup, and Pullen drove for a layup for Cedevita. After a layup by Saric, Arapovic hit a triple for the hosts, getting them within 48-49. Dunston kept Efes in front with a dunk, and Heurtel found Granger for a layup, but Bilan had a put-back and Pullen added a fastbreak layup, before Bilan's free throws put Cedevita back in front, 55-54. Pilepic extended the run with a three-pointer, his fourth of the night, and Cedevita made four more defensive stands, keeping the visitors without a single point for more than three minutes as Pullen made a driving layup and assisted on a Bilan layup, extending it to 62-54. Cedi Osman snapped a 13-0 run with a three-point play, but Pullen finished the quarter with a triple that made it 65-57.
Dunston split free throws, but Babic buried one from downtown to open the only double-digit lead of the night, 68-58. Granger hit free throws and Brown made a mid-range jumper for Efes. Dunston cut the deficit to 4 with a fastbreak dunk. Zoric made a pair of free throws, but Brown made a tip-in and Dunston a mid-range jumper to get Efes within 70-69. The visitors held Cedevita to only 2 points for almost seven minutes, and back-to-back three-pointers from Saric and Batuk put Efes back into the lead, 70-75. Bilan snapped a 0-11 run with 2 free throws, but a put-back from Osman restored a 5-point margin. Free throws from Bilan cut it to 74-77, but neither team scored again until Heurtel made a pair of free throws for Efes with 26 seconds to go. When Pullen only split foul shots, the visitors were on their way to a crucial triumph as Heurtel made both foul shots to seal the victory.

I already ride my horse out alone, but so far I've just stuck to the bridle path. At either end of the bridle path there are roads where I can get to more hacking. But he does have a nap in him and a stubborn side some times. So when he decides he doesn't want to do some thing, he will try his hardest not to! Once we've gone through it enough times he will do it, but I was wondering if you had any tips on getting him moving when he stops, as I don't want any trouble on the roads. So far I've been taking him out a bit further each day and he's been fine, but he does spook at silly things and refuse to move past them.

With my mare in that sort of situation, I'd get off and lead her past, then find a convenient place to re-mount! If you can, go out with a headcollar under his bridle and a leadrope wound up and attached to your saddle then you can lead him easily if you need to. Napping and spooking, especially when he's on his own, can be a confidence thing. I'm more confident on the ground with my horse and then she has another creature on the ground to give her confidence too. It works for us!

I have the same problem to!! If my mare is spooked by anything or nervous she will not move past it so i have to get off and walk her past. She will walk past anything while i am leading her but if im riding her she wont. If i am out with someone else she will not walk in front she likes to follow behind. I think she has a megga confidence issue but she is getting better.
Sounds like your doing the right thing by taking him that little bit further everytime you go out. He will soon learn that he is not in charge of when to go home.
Hope you get some helpfull advice.

Jeff Edwards
President and CEO
Historically one of the driest states in the nation with mostly a desert landscape, outsiders might consider Utah to be anything but green, yet take one look at the state's renewable design and construction landscape and you'll see that green is the color of choice.
"Green is the new black," says Rachel David, director of sustainability for Cooper Roberts Simonsen Associates (CRSA), a Utah-based architectural firm that focuses solely on green projects.
"Sustainability has both a presence and a value now," she adds. "Early on, there wasn't a lot of understanding about sustainable design. Now, you had better be on board or you're going to get left behind."
Sustainable design and construction efforts in Utah started to take off about 10 years ago, but in the last five years a significant transformation has taken place across the state -- from state agencies to city and county governments, to the private sector -- going green is, indeed, the present and the future.
EDCUtah President & CEO Jeff Edwards adds that Utah's landscape is a rare gift, and the efforts being made in renewable design and construction within the state will only help to preserve that gift. "Being renewable is good for the environment. It's good for our health, and it makes good business sense," he says.
Energy Efficiency Goal
In 2006, former Governor Jon Huntsman set a goal for all state-owned facilities to improve their energy efficiency 20 percent by 2015, and for 20 percent of Utah's electricity generation to come from renewable sources by 2025. Additionally, all new state construction projects must achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification. Meanwhile, the Utah State Energy Program is partnering with the Utah Division of Facilities Construction and Management to invest more than $50 million in energy efficiency measures in state-owned buildings.
In 2007, the U.S. Department of Energy named Salt Lake City one of the first Solar America Cities. The department has since partnered with Salt Lake County, Rio Tinto Kennecott Land, Rocky Mountain Power, and Utah Clean Energy, a local nonprofit public interest organization, to achieve 10,000 solar installations or 10 megawatts of solar power generation by the year 2015.
What's more, Salt Lake Community College is helping the green transformation by preparing a green workforce. The school is a certified North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners testing facility, offers a solar photovoltaic installer course, and plans to offer an energy management associate degree program.
A Vacant School Turned Green
Sustainable design and construction in Utah isn't limited to state government buildings, nor is it limited to new construction projects. In 2005 the City of Moab retrofitted an old, vacant school and turned it into a state-of-the-art city center using sustainable design and construction technologies. The new design employed recycled construction materials and a ground source geothermal heating and cooling system that transfers warm air into and out of the building according to the season of the year. The geothermal system is shared with the adjacent Grand County Library.
The city center's landscape design retains all storm water runoff onsite and recharges the underground aquifer, while energy-efficient electrical equipment and low-flow plumbing fixtures reduce operating and maintenance costs.
"We didn't know what certification we would get, but ended up being LEED Silver-certified, which is pretty darn good," says Moab Mayor Dan Sakrison. In addition to consolidating city operations into one building, the renewable retrofit has helped Moab cut its natural gas cost by about $20,000 per year. "It's worked out really well for us," the mayor adds.
While the number of sustainable construction projects in the state, either completed or in process, are too numerous to mention, one of the most notable sustainability designs is the Swaner EcoCenter near Park City. It produces 12 percent of its own energy, generated from photovoltaic and solar hot water arrays, and harvests rainwater for onsite landscape irrigation and toilet flushing. Approximately 80 percent of EcoCenter is lit by natural daylight. Nearly half the building materials used came from either recycled content, derived locally, or from rapidly renewable resources.
Jack Wixom, vice president of corporate relations for Jacobsen Construction, points out that what LEED does is certify a building will protect the environment. "LEED is really a science about preserving the environment," he adds, "and its quite exciting to see the types of returns that it generates."
It Starts With the Dirt
In approaching renewability, designers and construction companies look at projects from a full building perspective that considers such things as the type of materials to be used and how far they have to travel to the construction site, the recycling of waste, the carbon footprint, the reduction of water use, available natural light, the efficiency of HVAC systems, the construction envelope, the internal environment, the management of storm water, and many other factors.
"But it all starts with the dirt," says John Alley, vice president at Layton Construction Company. "Site selection has one of the most significant impacts on the success of a project for sustainable design and LEED certification. A company can blow its desired LEED certification simply with the wrong property purchase, as the property and its building placement have a lot to with achieving sustainability measures."
Some of the certification factors tied to property location include the density surrounding the building, available parking, access to public transportation, and building site orientation. Alley says real estate brokers, corporate real estate executives, and site selectors need to be familiar with LEED credits and how they work; otherwise they may be disappointed with the resulting LEED certification they receive.
Forrest McNabb, senior vice president of Big-D Construction, notes that obtaining a LEED certification requires the coordination and support of the entire team -- the property owners, designers, contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers -- everyone has a role in the effort.
In order to help guide commercial construction projects in their quest for LEED certification, three of Utah's major commercial construction companies (and EDCUtah investors), Layton Construction Companies, Big-D Construction, and Jacobsen Construction, all employ numerous LEED accredited professionals, as do many of the architectural and engineering firms in the state, because most of the construction projects today have goals to achieve some type of LEED certification.
Renewable Technologies
While renewable design is not unique to Utah, certain renewable technologies work very well here, including low humidity, indirect direct evaporative coolers; ground source heat pumps; ambient light; low flow water fixtures; and solar photovoltaic panels and solar water heating systems.
John Fortuna, vice president and project executive at Jacobsen Construction, says greater efforts are being made to reduce water use and recapture grey water. As an example, he says a new, high performance, multi-state agency office building retains and reuses approximately 3,500 gallons of waste water from the building's HVAC system, rather than sending it down the drain. Better management of storm water is also an area of focus. Landscaped burms and swales are being used to capture runoff, to allow the water to seep into the ground, where it can recharge aquifers rather than collect in storm drains and eventually end up in a river.
Even Utah parking lots are becoming green, adds Alley. New, permeable paving products allow storm water to seep into the ground, rather than fill up the storm drains. Meanwhile, low, even light sources are replacing bright lights to reduce carbon foot prints. Studies show the low, even lights also make parking lots safer because they remove the deep shadows where people can hide.
Greater use of ambient light and more efficient lighting technologies are also making the interiors of buildings more renewable. Fortuna says new lighting controls measure the amount of ambient light in a room and automatically adjust the electrical lighting to supplement the natural light. High efficiency HVAC systems, coupled with tighter, more self-contained buildings are also an important part of sustainability.
Making City Ordinances 'Renewable'
As a side note, Alley says Utah's construction industry may be more attuned to renewable design and construction than most municipalities, and that greater effort needs to be made to align local building ordinances with renewable design practices.
"Generally, the private sector is ready to build green, but may end up in conflict with out-of-date building ordinances. While some cities are quite progressive about renewable design, there is an element of education that needs to take place as the public and private sectors work together to achieve the best sustainability practices and ordinances," he explains. "City managers and mayors should complete a review of city ordinances to determine whether they help or hurt sustainable practices, and interact with the owners, designers, and the construction community in achieving sustainable design."

Air Boat Debate Still Making Noise in Alachua County
Published October 27th, 2009
A debate over restricting air boats is still making noise. .. but not a lot was accomplished at Tuesday's Alachua County commission meeting.
Commissioners agreed to reword the proposed ordinance and review it again in a month.
For one thing, they want a provision that allows air boats to be used at night for emergencies.
Many residents near Orange Lake complained about air boat noise...and the commission considered restricting air boaters from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.
But many boaters say...that would have a negative impact on alligator hunting and boating businesses...which brings a lot of money into the county.

As required by law, CBO prepares regular reports on its estimate of the number of jobs created by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), which was enacted in response to significant weakness in the economy.
In total, CBO estimates that ARRA will increase budget deficits by about $833 billion over the 2009–2019 period. By CBO's estimate, close to half of that impact occurred in fiscal year 2010, and more than 90 percent of ARRA's budgetary impact was realized by the end of September 2012.
The effects of ARRA on output peaked in the first half of 2010 and have since diminished, CBO estimates. The effects on employment are estimated to lag slightly behind the effects on output; CBO estimates that the employment effects began to wane at the end of 2010 and continued to do so through the third quarter of 2012.
In this report, CBO provides estimates of ARRA's impact on employment and economic output in the third quarter of calendar year 2012 (July 2012 through September 2012), as well as over the entire period since February 2009. CBO's estimates of the economic effects of ARRA for 2009 through 2013 in this report are identical to those the agency published in August 2012. Although estimates of the quarterly budgetary effects of ARRA have changed slightly, the differences are not significant enough to change CBO's estimates of the effects of ARRA on real GDP, unemployment, and employment.
CBO develops estimates of ARRA's effects on output and employment by looking at recorded spending to date along with estimates of the other effects of ARRA on spending and revenues, by using evidence about the effects of previous similar policies, and by drawing on various mathematical models that represent the workings of the economy. Using such analysis, CBO estimates that ARRA's policies had the following effects in the third quarter of calendar year 2012 compared with what would have occurred otherwise:
Those ranges reflect the substantial uncertainty that surrounds the broad economic effects of such policies and a range of economists' views about the magnitude of those effects.
In contrast, recipients of some ARRA funds reported that those sums supported about 135,000 FTE jobs during the third quarter of calendar year 2012. In CBO's view, those reports do not provide a comprehensive estimate of the law's impact on U.S. employment for several reasons, which are discussed in CBO's report and in a previous blog post.
CBO estimates that, compared with what would have occurred otherwise, for 2012 as a whole, ARRA will:
