CHAR-KOOSTA Newspaper of the Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead Indian Reservation 'Don't be foolecF about sell-out Kerr Dam petition, warns Council member A new petition making the rounds of the Reservation these days seeks to let the Montana Power Company (MPC) have control of Kerr Dam for 20 more years, for which they d make a one- time payment to the Tribes of $30 million The name Char-Koosta is derived from Chief Charlo's and Chief Koostatah's names. They were the Tribes' last traditional chiefs. The petition promises that the Tribal membership would receive $5,000 apiece Some Tribal members report that they're being promised that amount annually until 2004 for signing the petition and that the first check would arrive before the Arlee pow wow. A close inspection of the document, and a little arithmetic, however, show that the petition is a carelessly-thought-out boondoggle that would cost Tribal members money instead of paying them To explain: Under terms of the current license, MPC pays the Tribes $2.6 million a year in rent for the dam being on Tribal property. Multiplied by 20 years, the $2.6 becomes $52 million Under terms proposed by the petition, MPC would pay $30 million up front then pay nothing for 19 years. Thirty million divided by 20 years equals $1.5 million a year for the life of the deal - a loss of Tribal income of more than $1 million Tribal members, in effect, would each pay MPC $184 a year for running the dam (As a point of interest, MPC since 1938 has paid the Tribes a little over $40 million in rent) In any case the petition is said to be " constitutionally invalid'. Arlee Council member and court advocate Jim Steele explains: "Referendum is defined as a right reserved to the people to adopt or reject any act or measure (such as a Tribal ordinance) that has already been passed by a legislative body - in this case the Tribal CounciL In most cases, such an act would become law (Concludes on page two) 00 s? M O « •4 * 3 District meeting is next week On Thursday, May 24, at 6 p.m, there will be a district meeting in the St Ignatius Community Center. All Tribal members are encouraged to attend. "This meeting is to dispel some of the rumors going around the Reservation these days," says organizer Ron Therriault St Ignatius Council representative The meeting is to clear the air on the following subjects: Kerr Dam Termination Per Capita Enrollment Secretarial Elections Economic Development Coffee and snacks will be available Please attend!

1. Lifehack from Mom: Drying your drip-dry and dry-flat clothes? No problem!
And Mom rose to the occasion.
I couldn't do anything permanent to the bathroom walls, so we searched for a suction-based portable clothesline. That was easy to find. Then we needed to figure out how to handle dry-flat clothes.
Mom suggested a boot tray with highly-absorbent towels or cloth diapers on top, but we couldn't find a nice tray. We found a sweater rack with air holes, but we still needed to catch the liquid somehow.
Drawing upon years and years of dealing with spills and messes, Mom came up with a brilliant idea: use a baby change pad. Highly-absorbent cotton on one side, waterproof lining on the other. _Perfect._

- Binding: Paperback
- Era: Current
- Number of Pages: 272
- Subject: U.S. Navy
- Date Available: March 2013
Your tax-deductible gift to the Naval Institute Press underwrites worthy books that might not otherwise be published.
Through words and pictures, J. F. Leahy chronicles the transition of eighty-one men and women from civilians to sailors at the U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command in Great Lakes, Illinois. Revealing a side of today's youth that many will find surprising, his examination of the unique American institution--popularly known as boot camp--offers a look into the hearts and minds of a group of young people who are a cross section of the nation. The work sheds light on the controversy over gender integration and helps bridge the gap between the military services and the society they serve.
During the fall of 2000, the author was granted unlimited and unprecedented access to the recruits from the time they arrived at Chicago's airport until their graduation. Observing their training evolutions first hand, he interviewed them at every opportunity and surveyed them through a series of his own specially designed reaction papers. He watched them as they struggled through obstacle courses and learned how to fight shipboard fires. He listened as they shared their feelings, and he cheered them on as they faced the challenges of "Battle Stations" and tested their physical, mental, and moral preparations before entering the fleet. Leahy also shared their pride at the final parade and graduation ceremonies. Both eye-opening and inspiring, his guide will be valuable to future recruits and those who influence them, as well as those who have been there and want a reminder of that special time in their lives.
J.F. Leahy completed Great Lakes training himself in 1966 prior to serving in the Vietnam War. He is a retired senior manager at Bell Laboratories.

TRUCKEE, Calif. - Each school year nearly one 100 students take advantage of Custom Learning Academy's supplemental services including private and small group tutoring, homework club and accurate individual assessments.
"We teach students how to learn in a supportive environment that promotes academic performance and self-esteem regardless of where they go to school full time," said Lisa Crosby, founder and director of CLA. "Our school's rigorous and engaging 21st century design is working. We accept students of all academic levels, and, year after year, success stories include accommodating young athletes who travel frequently and helping children who are struggling with math or reading exceed national grade level standards."
Students master concepts, catch up and prepare for the SATs and ACT with CLA's exceptional educators through the tutoring program. Tutoring is offered for $55 an hour for one student and discounts are offered for small groups of students being tutored in the same subject. Middle and high school students take a variety of courses for credit with CLA to supplement their existing class schedule.
Crosby understands the challenges of managing a competitive sports schedule and academics, so CLA also offers a rolling enrollment policy that allows students to begin a course anytime. And, course for credit students can attend Homework Club at no extra charge. Homework Club offers students a supervised opportunity to work on their skills and sharpen academic performance with an experienced educator. Homework Club for elementary students meets Monday through Thursday, 3-5:30 p.m. and Monday through Thursday, 1-5:30 p.m. for secondary students. Both elementary and secondary students may attend homework club as many days per month as they would like for $200/month.
Math and literacy assessments provide reliable information on strengths and weaknesses. Full-time students are given a comprehensive assessment so curriculum can be designed around their specific needs and other students use the information to better inform their education decisions and identify any necessary support or skills.
Custom Learning Academy, a private, WASC-accredited kindergarten through 12th-grade school is located between the Trout Creek Recreation Center and The Lodge in Tahoe Donner. A highly personalized approach tailored to the individual needs of students is a hallmark of the school.
Crosby encourages interested parents to schedule a meeting for more information. Complimentary half hour meetings are available for families seeking supplemental services as well as those who want to learn more about full time alternatives.

New Federal Reserve No. 2 Signals Support for Bank Oversight Agenda
Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer on Thursday signaled support for the central bank's postcrisis regulatory agenda, in his first speech since taking the Fed's No. 2 job.
Mr. Fischer praised the Fed's stress-testing program for banks and new requirements that big banks hold higher levels of loss-absorbing capital, throwing in his lot with other Fed officials in backing two pillars of the Fed's response to the financial crisis.
He said it "may be appropriate" for the Fed to force the biggest U.S. banks to hold an extra capital buffer even beyond levels agreed upon by international regulators, a move Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen and others have suggested they'll support.
His remarks, prepared for an economics conference, focused on financial-sector reform rather than monetary policy.
"The United States is making significant progress in strengthening the financial system and reducing the probability of future financial crises," Mr. Fischer, an economist and former Israeli central banker who took office in May, said in the speech. He added that regulators have made "a great deal of progress" in reducing the potential for a repeat of government bailouts of large financial firms.
In a question-and-answer session following the speech, Mr. Fischer said at the moment he doesn't see significant threats to financial stability. "At present we don't face … any serious asset-price problems," he said.
He said the Fed is watching equity prices, but drops in stock markets haven't historically caused broader crises. He said some observers are worried about leveraged loans to small and medium-sized businesses, but that market is "very arcane. It's not big."
Still, he cautioned, small problems can turn quickly into big ones, so "You've got to keep checking." He said regulators could potentially change interest rates to pop bubbles if other regulatory tools don't do the job.
Mr. Fischer, in his prepared remarks, defended the so-called Volcker rule adopted by U.S. regulators in December, dismissing an argument against the rule's curb on bank trading. He also appeared skeptical of policies that would force the largest banks to break up, a view consistent with other senior U.S. officials who favor stricter oversight rather than directly forcing the biggest firms to shrink. "Actively breaking up the largest banks would be a very complex task, with uncertain payoff," Mr. Fischer said.
Mr. Fischer also suggested Congress should consider making financial stability an explicit mandate for all U.S. financial regulators. Under current law, regulators have been directed simply to watch over the safety of banks and protect investors. A former Fed Vice Chairman, Donald Kohn, has said that move could bolster the ability of regulators to work together to spot growing risks in the financial system.

U.S. and Israel Split Over Qatar's Role in a Ceasefire
The U.S. and Israel are split over Qatar's role in forging a ceasefire between the Jewish state and the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
The dispute is one of several factors undermining international efforts to stop the recent burst of fighting that had left more than 200 Palestinians dead — before Israeli Defense Forces launched a ground invasion of the Gaza Strip on Thursday.
U.S. officials say the Obama administration is increasingly reaching out to Qatar in a bid to influence Hamas, which the U.S. and European Union have designated as a terrorist organization. Qatar is one of the only Arab states that keeps cordial ties with Hamas, whose political chief, Khaled Meshaal, bases himself out of Doha.
Secretary of State John Kerry has regularly discussed the prospects for a Mideast ceasefire with his Qatari counterpart, Khalid bin Mohammad Al-Attiya, according to U.S. officials. And Washington's top diplomat is considering flying to the Persian Gulf sheikdom to discuss ending the Mideast conflict.
More In Mideast
Israel's ground invasion is likely to amplify pressure on the Obama administration to work with regional powers to put a ceasefire in place.
Mr. Kerry and other U.S. officials have said Washington wants a resumption of the 2012 Israel-Hamas ceasefire, but at the same time have repeatedly said that Israel has the right to defend itself against Hamas's rocket attacks.
The growing death toll in the Gaza Strip, though, is placing the U.S. in a difficult position as it continues to defend Israel's actions. The killing of four Palestinian children on a Gaza beach this week has infuriated the international community.
The Obama administration has used Qatar as a conduit to other extremist or fundamentalist groups, including Afghanistan's Taliban and the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. In recent weeks, Qatari officials have said they are eager to serve as an intermediary with Hamas.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government, however, is wary about any role for Qatar as a go-between with Hamas since Israeli officials believe Doha funds some of the most radical Sunni militant groups fighting in neighboring Syria. Israel also believes Qatar is one of the primary sources of financing for Hamas.
"We don't associate Qatar as being a responsible actor," a senior Israeli official said.
Qatari officials have said they view Hamas as a legitimate nationalist movement that deserves the support of Arab states.
For its part, the Obama administration has forged an unlikely alliance with Qatar in attempting to address some of the Mideast's worst crises. Qatar served as a back-channel between the U.S. and the Taliban movement in Afghanistan, helping to secure the release in May of U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who had been held by the Taliban since 2009. The country also worked closely with the U.S. in 2011 to conduct military operations that helped unseat Libyan dictator, Col. Moammar Gadhafi.
Still, the Obama administration has voiced concerns about Qatar's links to Hamas and other militant groups. The U.S. Treasury Department said earlier this year that it traced large amounts of money flowing to Syrian militant groups and Hamas from Qatari sources.
"Qatar, a longtime U.S. ally, has for many years openly financed Hamas, a group that continues to undermine regional stability," Undersecretary of the Treasury David Cohen said in a March speech. "Press reports indicate that the Qatari government is also supporting extremist groups operating in Syria. To say the least, this threatens to aggravate an already volatile situation in a particularly dangerous and unwelcome manner."

On the way into the show thestaff frisked me and found my loose j in my tube sock. Depression continued. Stood up in the balcony just wanting to go home.
Runway Jim jogged something in my head... I felt weird (totally sober). When 'Bouncing Around the Room' started, some pretty hippie chick grabbed me by both hands and we bounced for the duration of the song. The entire audience bounced in those days. I smiled for the first time in months.
Caught a buzz and went down front. Fluffhead cleared all my depression. It was orgiastic. Just hard to describe. I was not just free from my depression, but empowered. I felt like superman.
I wrote to Phish after the show and told them what happened. Mike sent a post card back that simply said: "Those that go down can go higher up..."
I've had an amazing life since then. All first shows all special. This was very very special indeed.
For a post script, see my review of the show last night at Riverbend 23June2012. All I wanted to hear after all those years was Fluffhead. Was having a bad day that only a married dad in suburban hell can have... I asked on facebook for some special Fluff therapeutic magic to cure my ills. Save me again boys, you did it once... And they play Fluff as an encore. The first one since 1990. Check out that show. Another 5 star whopper.
The best band in the world, bar none. Easy.
Written with much love

On Nutrition: Changes get noticed as new year begins
Times change. I no longer see eggnog in the grocery store. And magazines now tout weight loss tips instead of pie recipes.
Tastes change. Hot coffee tasted good when I was driving home for the holidays in the early morning dawn. Stale donuts from a truck stop, not so much.
Menus change. Even I was surprised to see this change during my recent visit to my home state of New Mexico. On the menu in Ortega's New Mexican restaurant in Albuquerque where we stopped for my green chile "fix," we read: "We are committed to maintaining the healthy quality of our food without sacrificing any of the flavor. We use only all-vegetable oil in our food preparation. We offer all of our sauces and dressings on the side. We serve whole beans (not refried). We serve whole wheat sopapillas with every meal." That's a big change.
Some things change slowly. My grown daughter — in an intimate conversation we shared on Christmas day as we walked around the block at my sister's house — confided that, when she was in elementary school she traded the carrots I packed in her lunch for her friend's Granny Goose potato chips.
Attitudes can change. As the holidays become a memory, I now regard what I used to consider routine family get-togethers as precious time to reconnect with special people. That is an important change.
Some things don't change. My recent visit to New Mexico confirmed that this state houses the best country western dancers of all ages in the country, in my opinion. And this activity fits right in with current recommendations to enjoy frequent physical exercise.
Warnings don't change. On my trip home from the holidays, I was greeted with this clear flashing reminder from the Arizona State Patrol: "Drive hammered. Get nailed."
Calories do not change. These units of energy tell us how efficiently a food can add "fuel value" to our working bodies. If I need to lose the few pounds of stored fuel that accumulated over the holidays, I can change how many of these calories I eat every day.
Nutrition recommendations change. And that's a good thing.
Science continues to uncover the mystery of how substances in food work to keep our human machinery running smoothly. This column will continue to address these changing topics in the year ahead.
Years change. This year, as the timeless saying goes, may God grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, courage to change the things we can, and wisdom to know the difference. Happy New Year.

LOOK News Archives
LOOK Cycle is «the most innovative French SME » of the last twenty years in its field
The French National Institute for Industrial Property (INPI), which had already rewarded the company from Burgundy on two occasions, awarded LOOK a special Trophee from 2 categories, 'Sport- Leisure', and 'Everyday Life'. This was even more special as this was the 60th anniversary of the creation of INPI the 20th anniversary of the INPI Trophees.
On December 5th, the INPI was giving away 5 'Special Trophees' to distinguish the most innovative companies over the 20 years since the creation of the Innovation Trophees. LOOK Cycle is the only company to have won that prize in 2 categories.
LOOK Cycle, one of the rare cycle manufacturers to have its own production facilities, has singled itself out, since being taken over, for keeping its technological know-how in France. The company has quadrupled its turnover and increased its workforce seven times in fourteen years. It has thus showed that mastering its production is an essential element of innovation.
A worldwide leader which keeps on growing and hiring.
With nearly 200 patents, of which over half were registered in the last ten years, the company, created in 1951, is going through the highest growth period in its history. Since 1998, its turnover has gone from 12 to 43 million euros in 2011, including 75% achieved through exports and a 17% increase in the last year alone. At the same time, its workforce has gone from 80 to 500, with nearly 200 people in Nevers, France.
The winning bet of the « made in France »
For Dominique Bergin, LOOK's CEO, « this winning strategy is built on fundemental choices :
• Independence, the company working on a family model, it isn't listed in the stock market, has no investment fund in its capital, and has had the same shareholders for fourteen years,
• French location, the company decided, in spite of the costs, to keep a production site and its headquarter in Nevers, France,
• A strong determination in favor of R&D, 11% of the turnover being devoted to it,
• A permanent relationship with the greatest champions, which constantly inspires us, and enables us to validate our innovations. Moreover, LOOK Cycle is one of the only manufacturers to supply the exact same products to professional riders on the Tour de France and to its consumers. »
Clipless pedal and carbon frame, flagship innovations.
The first to adapt the concept of ski bindings to cycling 30 years ago, LOOK Cycle's culture of innovation comes from this revolutionary creation. More than 9 million bikes are now equiped with our clipless pedals system, and the current leader of the UCI world rankings, Philippe Gilbert, won all his victories this season on LOOK pedals. LOOK Cycle has also become in recent years the european leader in high-end carbon frames.
Alberto Contador won his two last Tour de France on LOOK pedals, which also contributed to over 300 victories in 2011. 11 medals were won on LOOK's carbon frames at the last World Track Championships.
China, where 95% of the world's carbon frames are built, chose LOOK for its track, road and triathlon teams. The French brand is also partner of the French, Canadian and Japanese federations, and supplies pedals to around 50% of professional riders worldwide.

OAKLAND -- After school at Skyline High School, students are getting together several times a week for an afternoon of tinkering and tuning, taking old bikes apart and putting them back together.
According to Skyline teacher Andrew Tuller, it's a way for teenagers to learn useful skills and work up to getting bikes of their own.
"It gives you a chance to really understand how to work on a bike," said senior Tiana King, a club member.
But there aren't enough bikes to go around, so club co-founder Andrew Tuller and his fellow teachers are turning to the community for donations of old, unused or broken bikes.
"There are so many people that have bikes sitting in their garage," Tuller said.
Tuller and fellow resource teacher Jonathan Coleman began the program late last year as a way to help kids gain repair skills, become interested in cycling, and get bikes they might otherwise not afford.
"It's a really great experience," King said.
The club was able to set up with a grant from Oakland-based charity Philanthropic Ventures for tools and equipment. Now the after-school club meets several times a week in an old storage shed on campus that Tuller has repurposed, with a rotating list of faculty supervisors.
"It's really fun," he said. "I love it."
Tuller sees it as a kind of replacement for the technical classes such as wood shop that schools used to teach.
"We sort of fill that niche," he said.
King, who got interested in bicycling in middle school, said she loves the tinkering aspect, while other students are more interested in earning a bike.
For every hour they spend learning and fixing, the students get imaginary money they can then "spend" on one of the reconditioned bikes. King has about four more hours before she can earn a bike.
To date, the students have fixed up about six bikes, but Tuller said it's not enough.
"We have too many students who are interested," he said.
So Tuller is hoping to get old or unwanted bikes for more raw materials in the shop and also to get more students cycling.
He'll accept bikes Jan. 13 at the Montclair Village Farmer's Market but said he's also willing to pick up bikes elsewhere.
Tuller plans to expand the club beyond bike repair and into safety and advocacy, training student leaders such as King to inspire others to take up cycling.

Rich smoke
Golden, amber liquor
Smooth and clean with a powerful notes of smoke
Preparing the perfect cup of tea is a process to be savored. Watch how the traditional elements harmoniously come together to make the perfect cup and enjoy the liberation of pure tea goodness.
This is what we call the Mighty Leaf signature multi-sensory ("sensory melange") tea experience. Come share with us and learn how to get infused.
The quality of tea is affected by the quality of water used to prepare it. Using filtered or bottled water is best. If possible, avoid brewing tea with tap, distilled or mineral water. Never over-boil water, as it results in flat-tasting tea.
1) Heat filtered or bottled water to a rolling boil or to 205 F. 2) While the water is heating pour hot water into your teapot and cups, let sit and then drain completely. A warm teapot will maintain the requisite temperature for superior tasting tea.
Whole Leaf Tea
Prepare Mighty Leaf teas using a teapot, paper tea sachet, infuser or traditional brewing methods. Use one rounded teaspoon of loose tea per 12 ounces or cup of water.
Infusion Time
Pour boiling water over tea leaves. Keep teapot covered to retain heat. Time steeping carefully and infuse for 3 - 5 minutes.
Savor the Leaf
Sip your cup and rediscover the pleasure of the way tea was naturally meant to be. This is the magic of Mighty Leaf.
Health Benefits
Black tea contains an abundant source of natural plant-derived antioxidant compounds called polyphenols that aid in fighting harmful free radicals. Research shows that these free radicals can cause heart disease, cancer and increase the risk of strokes. Drinking black tea with its high antioxidant levels may help protect the body by combating harmful free radical activity.
Further health benefits of black tea may include lowering cholesterol, strengthening the immune system, promoting healthy blood vessel functionality and even protecting teeth and bones. In addition, black tea provides a source of nutrients including magnesium, Manganese, potassium, calcium, and the vitamins C and K all in trace amounts.
This unique smokey tea pairs well with chocolately desserts. Serve alongside meat, game or strong cheeses.

At Paris Air Show, Orders Come Flying In
By Doug Cameron
Planes are the talk of the town this week in Paris and orders are landing fast.
Drizzly weather isn't dampening spirits at the 50th Paris International Air Show, underway at Le Bourget, which organizers say will have a record number of exhibitors. And plane-makers are on track to secure plenty of orders, too, with Airbus BoeingBombardier Embraer and others duking it out for commercial airline customers.
The show was meant to be all about orders for big wide-body planes, but that's only proven to be half right. And many of the big buyers are far from household names.
Case in point: Embraer logged 100 firm orders for its E2 jet from SkyWest which operates aircraft on behalf of the regional units of network carriers like Delta Air Lines. The St. George, Utah-based carrier has more planes on order than any other. Meanwhile Airbus secured an order for 20 A380s from Germany's Doric Lease Corp., the first for the superjumbo from a leasing company and a big leg up in reaching the plane-maker's target of shifting 25 this year.
Here's a tally of orders so far:
- A320 — 100 firm orders via Deutsche Lufthansa (*an existing commitment)
- A320neo – 50 firm orders via ILFC
- A380 – 20 options via Doric
- 787-10x – 10 commitments via Gecas
- 737 Max – 4 commitments via SkyMark Airlines
- 777-300ER – 7 commitments via Qatar Airways
- 777-300ER – 2 firm orders via Qatar Airways
- CS100 – 10 firm orders via Odyssey Airlines
- E2 – 100 firm orders via SkyWest Inc.
- E2 – 100 commitments via SkyWest Inc.
- E2 – 100 commitments via ILFC
- E2 – 65 commitments from unidentified customers

Comments about Kara Koram™ +20º StormDown™ Sleeping Bag:
Everything I expected. This 850 down is unbelievable, Its like a electric blanket, its warm and very light. The second your skin touches it your warm and it absorbs heat like a sponge in water. At 40 degree,s F with a breeze, in Ushorts, I had one leg in and laying on top. Without the breeze I would have been sweating. Slept all night.

In the words of the late Rodney Dangerfield, the Village of Four Seasons can't get any respect.
And Village officials hope that will change soon.
Highway 54 expressway exits for Lake Ozark and Osage Beach are clearly marked, but the Village of Four Seasons is not. While all three municipalities are incorporated, the Village can't seem get the attention of Missouri Department of Transportation officials.
Village Clerk Tom Laird is pushing MoDOT to place exit signs on Highway 54 for the Village so motorists cann identify the route to Four Seasons. But so far, nobody is taking him seriously.
MoDOT Area Engineer Bob Lynch said in a letter to the Village that MoDOT is considering a destination sign at the beginning of Route 242 once motorists leave the interchange area. The roadway was opened a few years ago to connect Highway 54 with Bagnell Dam Blvd., Horseshoe Bend and the Village of Four Seasons.
Laird said while the Route 242 sign would be welcome, there's still a need for exit signage on Highway 54 that directs motorists to the Village. Once motorists get onto Route 242, they already know where they're going, Laird noted. Signage on Highway 54 would help direct them to the Village, just like Lake Ozark, Osage Beach, Camdenton, etc.
Ironically, Lake Ozark (which is marked on Highway 54) has an estimated 2012 population of 1,614; the Village (not marked) has nearly 600 more residents at 2,208.
Lynch said in his letter that for MoDOT to consider Highway 54 signage, the Village needs to install city limit signs along Horseshoe Bend Parkway so travelers know when they have entered the Village of Four Seasons.
Laird is quick to point out, complete with color photos, two large signs on Horseshoe Bend Parkway that welcome motorists into the Village and that encourages them to return as they leave. The board has ordered a different type of city limits signs in hopes of appeasing MoDOT. These will be added along the Parkway.
Lynch's letter said that MoDOT does not plan to adjust existing signage on Highway 54, but would consider the Village's request when the signs need to be replaced.

EXCLUSIVE: Deadpool Dons the Venom Symbiote in "Back In Black" #1 First Look
Comic Books
As long as I have been covering the comics industry, it seems like I have always found reasons to support the work of Dean Haspiel and/or his many talented associates. So when Trip City, a Brooklyn-filtered literary arts salon, launched at the start of last month it struck me as a good time to reach out to the founders for an email chat. While Trip City has four key members (Haspiel, Seth Kushner, Chris Miskiewicz and Jeffrey Burandt) the bulk of the discussion involved Kushner and Miskiewicz, with a brief check-in by Haspiel (discussing the start of a new Billy Dogma story, The Last Romantic Antihero [TLRA]). Haspiel also gave me a head's up on a December 8 TLRA live reading at BookCourt at 7 PM (163 Court St Brooklyn, New York 11201/718-875-3677).
Tim O'Shea: When did TRIP CITY first get conceived–and how did the two of you come to be involved? How early in the planning was it determined that a podcast would be important to the venture?
Chris Miskiewicz: Dean was leaving Deep6 and starting a new studio. Seth Kushner and I were the first people he asked along. Although my film schedule is always in flux and I wasn't sure how often I'd actually be there, the idea of sitting around others and not being by myself writing appealed to me. So we formed HANG DAI Studios.
If you put three creative people in a room together stuff happens. What happened was TRIP CITY. We spoke about the concept for about five months. Who would be a part of it, what we'd do, how we'd do it. We didn't want to revamp ACT-I-VATE but we did want comics, along with prose, fiction, a web-series, and a podcast. What we did was create a multimedia site that catered to our individual interests blending them together into a whole.

The ROI of CSR
Why did you write When Principles Pay?
There was a lot of interest in the Business and Society course I've been teaching the last few years, but there were no books that covered the material. And in the last five or six years, there has been a growing sense that business schools need to do more to engage their students in considering ethical issues. I saw a need to take a distinct angle on ethical issues, rather than the standard "this is what is right, this is what is wrong" approach.
I wanted to look at ethics in a business context and particularly in light of two aspects of business operations. First is the environmental impact — all businesses have an environmental impact to a greater or lesser degree. The second aspect is social impact, by which I mean a company's impact on minorities, the poor and people in developing countries. I began to focus on how a firm's behavior on those two fronts affects its success in terms of conventional measures: profitability, market valuation, market share, brand value and brand image. In other words, is there a payoff to behaving well?
To what extent is pressure from consumers driving corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts and success, as opposed to doing good for its own sake or strictly because it has an ethical component to it?
Consumer pressure certainly plays an enormous role. The success of Whole Foods is almost a cliché. The extraordinary growth in the last 10 years of organic food, which is more expensive than regular food, has shown that people are willing to pay a higher price, partly because they think organic food is better for them, and partly because they think it's better for the whole world. People are willing to pay a premium to get things they believe are more environmentally and socially acceptable. The Toyota Prius is now one of the 10 best-selling cars in the United States, overtaking the Ford Explorer in popularity. A car like the Ford Focus, comparable in size and features, is roughly $5,000 less than a Prius, but people are willing to pay extra for an environmentally low-impact car.
Managing impacts is a way firms reassure consumers that it's legitimate to buy a company's product or that buying the product doesn't conflict with the customer's values. The companies most sensitive to CSR efforts are those for which brand image matters. If a company has a negative image, customers will sometimes avoid dealing with it. Consumers are increasingly concerned about environmental and social issues and are asking questions about the goods they buy: Was this product made with sweatshop labor? Did this product damage the environment when it was made? For some customers, buying is a statement of values.
Companies also face pressure from investors to manage their impacts. Socially responsible investing [SRI] has existed for many decades but really took off during the antiapartheid movement in the 1980s. People were trying to persuade big funds to sell their shares in companies that did business with companies in South Africa, which was the first time there was a major effort to use capital markets to influence corporate policy. SRI has grown quite a bit. Today, between 10 and 12 percent of the money that is professionally managed in the United States is cast as SRI, having some kind of social or environment goals or limitations on how the funds can be invested.
I chair Columbia's Advisory Committee on Socially Responsible Investing. We review the University's portfolio and recommend to the trustees which funds and companies we should and should not be investing in. All the other major private and public universities have SRI committees, as do large philanthropic organizations like the Ford Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation. None of these institutions' investments are formally classified as SRI funds, so that 10 to 12 percent is probably something of an understatement.
Do you foresee a day when every corporation must respond to consumer concerns by integrating CSR into its operations?
No, not every corporation. Defense contractors and weapons firms are quite large and are significantly immune from the forces we are talking about here. It doesn't mean they are behaving badly, and whether you or I approve or disapprove of what they are selling doesn't make any difference. But most industries are not immune to CSR.
What about industries facing pressure to adopt CSR measures but for which CSR requires a daunting investment?
In most cases it's a simple matter of leadership. The car industry is interesting. Responding to environmental concerns may be challenging for the automakers, but Toyota anticipated it. Toyota believed that environmental issues would begin to constrain the industry, and placed the company strategically to react to that. Toyota put together a very high-powered team of people to determine what sort of product they needed; they started designing the Prius seven years before it appeared on the market. Honda took similar steps with its Civic, Accord and Insight models.
I suspect leadership in the U.S. auto industry decided to just go with the SUV flow instead, and now that approach is hurting them. The U.S. industry is recognizing that it will have to reconcile its vehicles with the public's concern with environmental issues. There's a lot of emphasis on Chevy's forthcoming electric vehicle, the Volt, but the industry has been dragged into innovating and is still lobbying against effective policy measures.
You mention brand image as a factor in CSR, but in the book you are quite adamant about distinguishing CSR from cosmetic efforts aimed at building brand image.
CSR is a carefully thought-out response to minimize companies' social and environmental impacts. If a tobacco company gives money to the Metropolitan Opera, it may be good philanthropy and it may be good public relations, but it's not CSR because it does not address the social and environmental problems caused by a tobacco company.
Consider Starbucks, which has gone to some lengths to minimize the negative environmental impact of growing coffee. Starbucks pays its employees at a higher rate than is typical in the retail food trade, it offers employees more benefits and it buys from fair-trade growers as much as possible. Starbucks has fought through the classical social and environmental problems associated with being in that business.
Measuring the impact of CSR in achieving social and environmental goals has been difficult. What do you think are going to be the best, most effective ways to do that?
Companies do spend a fair amount of time producing CSR reports, but at the moment the reports are a bit of a missed opportunity — they don't really say very much.
There's the old saying that what gets measured gets managed. There are ways of measuring environmental impact; we can measure the pollution that companies produce, for instance. It is much tougher to measure social issues. For example, how can contributions to gender equity be measured? But we can move toward quantifying those to a greater degree than we do now.
On the environmental side we could have reporting that is much closer in general format to the GAAP than we now have. We could actually compare across companies in terms of their environmental impacts. The Global Reporting Initiative has tried to standardize the format, but without addressing quantification. I'd like to see reports and audits be standardized and quantified as far as possible.
I'd also like to see internal and external reporting become the standard. There are very compelling reasons why we have audits for our regular financial accounts. People have a tendency to misstate things in their own interests — that's unavoidable. If you want consumers to take the numbers in these reports seriously, the numbers have to be credible, and that means external review by a neutral third party.
Ultimately, we need internal reporting, external auditing, quantification and standardization to really make CSR reports more operational. But I think it's all very doable.

"When Principles Pay: Corporate Social Responsibility and the Bottom Line"


text:
In general, if there is no medical reason for a couple not to be able to conceive and the couple have been trying for a baby during a period of 12 months, then it is recommended that they see a doctor. This 12-month time period should be halved if the woman concerned is older than 35 years of age.
There are several causes and it is for this reason that a detailed study of the problem should be carried out on both members of the couple concerned. For men, a low number, low mobility or lack of spermatozoids could be to blame. In the case of women, the lack of ovulation, or irregular ovulation, or the obstruction of the Fallopian tubes could be reasons for infertility. In addition to this, leaving pregnancy to later in life, or general stress levels in both men and women in todays society could be to blame. Other factors like obesity, anorexia, complex illnesses, thyroid disease, drug and alcohol abuse and addiction to pharmaceuticals or tobacco can have an extremely negative effect on fertility.
The best years to get pregnant have been shown to be when a woman is twenty-five to thirty years old. This is due to her physical and psychological state during those years. Today, however, women have decided that they can still be fit enough to get pregnant after the recommended age. The downside is that after the age of thirty-five, a womans fertility levels decrease gradually.
At the time of ovulation. Ovulation or a womans fertile period occurs half-way through each cycle, more or less on day 14 of a normal 28 day cycle.
It is generally thought that women who have been taking contraceptives orally for a long period of time can then be at a higher risk of not developing normal periods after stopping the pill. However, this is false.
Women who have more than one sexual partner or suffer from sexually transmitted diseases present a higher risk of developing a pelvic inflammatory illness and therefore creating a blockage of the Fallopian tubes. There are no other issues relating to sterility.
There are no set rules but we examine both the male and female factor.
The main factors are the ages of the couple and the time they have invested in trying to have a baby. The case of a couple of 38 years old with 10 attempts at getting pregnant is clearly not the same as a couple of 25 who have only had 2 attempts.
The success rate varies depending on many factors. However, the general success rate is 60% per cycle.
Yes, and is in some cases permanently irreversible. However it is not impossible for a woman to experience a recovery of fertility once chemotherapy treatment has ended. We advise the patient to preserve oocytes, sperm or embryos before starting chemotherapy.
Yes, because these procedures are reversible.
Yes, today it is possible to have a baby after a physiological menopause, or if menopause has already occurred or you have experienced early ovarian failure.
We can not generalise, but realistically, if couples were more persistent and continued trying, 90% would be successful.
Each couple represents a different case, therefore we can not generalise.
Spanish Law only allows this for medical reasons.
Yes, the main requirements are to be over 18 years of age and be psychophysically healthy. This also applies to heterosexual and homosexual couples.
The more permissive countries are Greece, Spain and the United Kingdom, that hold specific legislation regarding human reproduction. In Europe, France and Holland allow human embryo donation. In the United States, couples are the ones who decide without any state interference.
Yes, in Spain all remaining embryos are frozen and are at the couples disposal during the rest of their fertile life.
At Instituto Bernabeu we have over 15 years experience concerning ovodonations, performing hundreds of cycles per annum. There is no waiting list.
No, donations are anonymous and Spanish Law strictly protects data concerning donors identity.
Donors are healthy individuals who are over 18 years of age and who volunteer and then go through a very strict selection process. At our centre we include: physical examination, psychological evaluation, hormonal tests and karyotype, hereditary illness screening (cystic fibrosis), screening for infectious deseases, etc.
We take into account the couples physical characteristics i.e.: blood type, facial features, biotype, etc.
Every couple undergoing an IVF treatment has to sign an informed consent form where they have to specify what to do with the remaining embryos, if any. Most of these couples donate their embryos to other couples in their situation.
Freezing embryos allows couples to become pregnant:
In both cases long and costly pharmaceutical courses of treatment are avoided. The recipient mother need only undergo endometrial preparation prior to the transfer. Please bear in mind that the success rates for frozen transfers are lower than the transfer of fresh embryos.
Oocyte donors are healthy young women who would selflessly like to help other women to become mothers. Most of them are professionals with a high I.Q. Others are university students.
Requirements are, to be between the ages of 18 and 35, hold a negative family record of genetically transmitted illnesses, normal karyotype, negative screening of genetic illnesses, negative comprehensive study of sexually transmitted illnesses (HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis B and C, Syphilis), normal reproduction system, mentally and physically healthy, medical history of fertility or adequate response to ovary stimulation treatment, and normal body mass.
Semen donors are young healthy males who donate their semen voluntarily in order for it to be used by couples who are undergoing assisted reproduction treatment.
Requirements are, to be between the ages of 18 and 35, psychophysically healthy, not to have any personal or hereditary illnesses which could be passed onto descendants, like diabetes or epilepsy, not to be infected or carry any hepatitis B antigens, hepatitis C antibodies, anti-AIDS ½ antibodies or syphilis, not to be a carrier of any kind of infections, posses a 4.5 times over the normal level of semen quality, and to have semen that can survive the freezing and defrosting process, as well as normal karyotype.
Yes. Spanish Law states that the donors identity must be kept in the strictest confidentiality.
No. Law states that donation is an anonymous action, and therefore, donors have no right to know the identity of any children born through their donation. In the same way, donors can not be identified by children born through the same process.
In the case of oocyte donors, after getting in touch with our centre, an interview will take place in order to establish whether or not the above mentioned requirements are met. If the interview goes well then a gynaecology test and a medical examination will be performed. At the same time, a blood test will be carried out. Once the results are known, and a positive outcome is established, treatment will commence after the first day of menstruation.
For semen donors, after contacting us, a first interview will take place. If all requirements are met, then a first semen sample can be taken. Subsequently, a second semen sample is taken to cross check the results with the first one. If all results are in order then a freezing and defrosting test of the second sample will be carried out. If these tests go according to requirements, a third semen sample is taken along with a blood test. The third semen sample will be kept frozen in our semen storage bank. It will also be kept in quarantine for the stated time until all results and studies are received. After this process, the donor can come to our centre on a weekly basis.
Donation is an altruistic act; nevertheless we compensate any transport fees paid to come to our centre, any wages missed due to a day off work, etc. At our centre, the compensation is 900.00 that is paid once the donation process is complete
According to Spanish Law, a person who has donated can only do so until a maximum of six children have successfully been born.
No. For the majority of young donors who have done it, the experience has been a positive one; they feel very satisfied and proud repeating the process.
No, in each cycle hundreds of oocytes are lost naturally. These oocytes can not be used. Our treatment collects these oocytes which otherwise have been lost. In many cases, the fact that a complete gynaecological examination has been performed beforehand means that we can advise you on any future fertility issues.
When semen quality, once tested, does not permit freezing or when after being frozen, it doesnt survive as per our standards.
When periodic blood tests reveal any type of abnormality.
One of the strategies used to increase the potential of fragmented embryos is to make a hole in the zone pellucida of the embryo. This is done through the use of chemicals (tyrodes acid), mechanical agents (micropipettes) or laser. We then pick up the maximum number of cell fragments. This technique is called Embryo Defragmentation.
Vitrification is an advanced cell-freezing technique, which allows a higher survival rate after thawing due to the fact that high concentrations of cryoproctectors are used along with reduced volumes and timings. Thus, the formation of intracellular ice crystals is prevented, which are responsible, in most cases, for provoking irreparable cell damage.
The vitrification process is used to freeze oocytes or embryos and it guarantees a survival rate of more than 80%. This technique enables the vitrified oocytes which have survived the thawing process to have similar attributes to fresh ones. They are then able to be fertilized by the spermatozoids. The generated embryos can then be implanted and develop into healthy children. Although the implantation rate is lower than with fresh embryos, frozen embryos, once thawed, achieve a normal pregnancy.
A good moment for a self examination is a week after menstruation. If you no longer have your period, it can be carried out during the first week of every moth. The necessary steps:
Naked from waist up, stand in front of a mirror and have a look.
First, with your arms down
and then with your arms up.
It is necessary to observe that the breast is not oddly shaped, or has any blemishes, lumps, depressions... Squeeze your nipple slightly in order to ensure there is no secretion.
You should be lying down. The arm next to the breast to be explored needs to be placed behind your head. You should palpate your the breast using the opposite hand while stretching your fingers open.
If you find something unusual, please examine the opposite breast at the same point and compare them both. Please do not forget to palpate the armpit area as well in order to observe if there are any lumps, even if they are small.
If during this palpation any anomaly is found, please do not panic, but get in contact with your gynaecologist.
Today the masculine factor represents 40% of all causes of infertility. There are treatments available to correct impotence problems and allow a natural conception (Viagra, Cialis, etc.). These treatments should be prescribed and monitored by a urologist.
On the other hand, if the issue is with semen quality and depending on the intensity of the problem, different therapeutic options are available, including artificial insemination, IVF, microinjection of spermatozoids and even the use of sperm from an anonymous donor.
The absence of sperm in ejaculate is called azoospermia and is generally caused by an obstruction in the seminal tracts or a problem with spermatozoid production in the testicles.
This could be a temporary situation or a situation that is evolving. For that reason we always require at least two samples for confirmation purposes.
If azoospermia is confirmed as the cause, further detailed study must take place (hormonal, genetic, and urologic) to be able to evaluate the origin and prognosis.
If testicular spermatozoid production is still active, or at least partially, one option is IVF with microinjection of spermatozoids collected from a testicular biopsy or sperm extraction using anaesthesia.
Spanish Law provides for the protection of the unborn child and therefore strict monitoring is put in place so that no illnesses are transmitted to offspring.
When the male partner has an infectious disease, like HIV, the semen can be washed of the virus, frozen and then used in an IVF cycle using microinjection using a spermatozoid free of the virus. When the female partner has the infectious disease, the ability to use assisted reproduction techniques depends on the stage of the infection and the viral load.
During each menstrual cycle the ovaries initiate the development of hundreds of eggs, of which generally only one is released to allow fertilisation. With assisted reproduction techniques we only recuperate some more of the hundreds which would otherwise be lost and therefore ovarian reserve is not affected.
Assisted reproduction techniques can be unpleasant as they involve the stimulation of the ovaries via injected hormones either subcutaneously or intramuscularly.
The most unpleasant procedure is the egg retrieval for IVF which is carried out using transvaginal ovarian puncture guided by ultrasound scan but a light anaesthetic is used to avoid any discomfort.
The average number of eggs will depend above all on the age of the patient taking the IVF treatment. Generally speaking a good number is approximately 8 eggs. In Egg donation cycles there is generally a higher number, around 10-12 eggs. This is due to Spanish Law only allowing young women to donate (18-35 years of age).
The average pregnancy rate is between 65-70% which will also depend on the quality of the sperm sample.
You should be in good physical health both generally and gynaecologically. You should not have any serious illness which could worsen during pregnancy or have an infectious disease which could be transmitted to the foetus (syphilis, Hep B&C, HIV).
Endometriosis is a chronic yet benign illness which is characterised by the presence of endometrial tissue (which produces menstruation) in ectopic zones such as the ovaries, Fallopian tubes or peritoneal cavity, producing internal menstruation and cysts made up of menstrual blood in the ovaries (chocolate cysts).
Endometriosis affects the quality of the eggs when located in the ovaries and also the functioning of the Fallopian tubes, producing adhesions in the interior of the abdominal cavity.
Polycystic ovary is a metabolic illness which is characterised by ovaries which are slow or lazy in their performance as well as producing more male hormones (androgens, which can produce an increase in hair, obesity, acne, etc.). This slowing-down of the ovary is associated with late menstruation (sometimes months) and therefore difficulties in becoming pregnant. For example, if a woman with a normal cycle ovulates once a month, shell have 12 chances to conceive during a year. A patient with a polycystic ovary and a cycle every three months will only have 4 ovulations and 4 chances to conceive during the year.
When a patient has bi-lateral tubal obstruction due to infection, a surgical procedure or tubal ligation, the only possible treatment to conceive is via IVF which has a high pregnancy rate
If your menstrual cycle isnt regular, and in that case neither your ovulation, in the first place the ovarian pathology should be determined (disovulation, early ovarian failure, polycystic ovaries, hyperprolactinaemia) and thereafter treat the specific problem if one exists. If no pathology is found, ovarian stimulation can be used to overcome the problem.
Spanish Law provides for the protection of the unborn child and therefore strict monitoring is put in place so that no illnesses are transmitted to offspring.
When the male partner has an infectious disease, like HIV, the semen can be washed of the virus, frozen and then used in an IVF cycle using microinjection using a spermatozoid free of the virus. When the female partner has the infectious disease, the ability to use assisted reproduction techniques depends on the stage of the infection and the viral load.
85% of couples who have regular sexual intercourse become pregnant within a year. If there is no precedent which could lead to a possible problem (ovarian or testicular surgery, chemotherapy, etc.), it is advisable to seek medical advice after one year of having sex without contraceptive protection. For women older than 37-38, it is recommended to go and see a doctor after 6 months of trying as the ovarian reserve decreases as the woman gets older.
Patients who have a regular cycle of 28-30 days, ovulation takes place on day 14 to 15 from the start of menstruation (day 1 of the cycle). There are physical signs which can help you know your most fertile day. For example, a greater mucosity and quantity in vaginal flow, discomfort and a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen. An ovulation urine test is also available which can detect when the LH hormone is at its peak which triggers ovulation.
For patients with irregular cycles it is more complicated and frequent sexual intercourse is recommended, every 2-3 days, in order to have the gametes there (egg and spermatozoid) when ovulation takes place.
At Instituto Bernabeu each couple is assigned a gynaecologist. He or she will monitor your progress and also the assisted reproduction techniques involved.
For the more frequent assisted reproduction techniques, Egg donation and IVF, 2-3 months is needed for preparation and the carrying out of the treatment.
First of all 1 to 2 consultations are required in order to establish pathology and complete all the complimentary tests (serology, spermiogramme, etc.). During the treatment phase, if it is IVF a further 5-6 visits are required. For Egg donation only 2-3 more
First of all, you should get clear information on all the assisted reproduction techniques you are going to undergo. Secondly, you should trust the team who are going to be caring for you during the procedures. And finally, if necessary, psychological and psycho-pharmaceutical support is available.
After embryo transfer you will only have to wait a few days before taking a blood or urine pregnancy test to know the results of the treatment (The blood test can be taken earlier).We recommend that you shouldnt have sexual intercourse as a precaution until 3-4 days after the embryo transfer.
Each couple, each treatment and each procedure requires a different length of time in order to achieve the best results possible
When a girl is born she already has all her eggs stored in her ovaries. With time this store is reduced so that between the ages of 37- 38 the quantity and quality is reduced as well as the chances of becoming pregnant, both naturally and with the use of assisted reproduction techniques.
To be able to diagnosis fertility problems there are a number of test that allow us to know if there is a genetic cause responsible of the fertility problem. For the study of the masculine factor, the karyotype study, microdelection of the Y chromosome and cystic fibrosis study could justify the low number or the absence of spermatozoids. For women, the karyotype study, the screening of the Fragile X Syndrome, those could be the cause of repeated miscarriages and low ovarian reserve, respectively.
The TUNEL study is a fairly new technique for the analysis of the spermatozoids. To have an altered TUNEL means that there is greater number of spermatozoids with a fragmented DNA than the general population, making gestation more difficult, being responsible for implantation failures, miscarriages, etc.
Recent investigations propose that antioxidant treatments could reduce the rates of fragmented DNA in spermatozoids. For those cases when this treatment doesnt work, a testicular puncture could be an effective solution.
Yes, we can. It is estimated that about 50% of the repeated miscarriage cases are cause in the embryo and not in the couple. An abnormal number of the chromosomes or an altered structure of the chromosomes is the explanation for most cases of repeated miscarriages. The PGD technique allow us to select the embryos free of structural or numeric abnormalities and this way we can achieve a normal pregnancy.
In most cases the miscarriages are cause by chromosomal abnormalities in the embryo. To be able to have biological material from the miscarriage give us the opportunity to carry out karyotype studies and help us to identify if that is the cause and be able to determine the possible implications in the future regarding fertility.
The whole process can be completed during one visit. The medical examination usually consists of no more than a gynaecological scan and a blood test.
Once the eggs have been retrieved they are studied and analysed by our embryologists. In the majority of cases the eggs are suitable for freezing and the patients are informed of the amount to be frozen. In extreme cases where there is doubt as to whether the eggs would survive the freezing process, a decision is made in conjunction with the patient.
The retrieval technique is very simple and is completed via vaginal scanning, does not involve general anaesthesia and is over in 10 minutes. During the aspiration of the eggs the patient is lightly sedated so as not to feel any discomfort. Once over, recuperation is quick such that the majority of patients can leave the clinic with one to two hours.
Prior to the application of the freezing process, we meet with the patient in order to clarify all issues before starting the treatment. We look at all data and evaluate for each individual case the possibility of success which depends on the age of the patient and that condition of her ovaries. The prognosis is better for women who are younger than 35 who have ovaries which have not undergone any type of surgical intervention and who do not suffer illnesses such as endometriosis. Nevertheless each case should be evaluated individually before taking a decision.
Once the freezing process is complete, the frozen eggs remain in our banks at the patients disposal for an indefinite time (currently 50 is the maximum age limit that the eggs can be used). If the patient decides to get rid of her frozen eggs, they can be donated to another woman or simply destroyed as per the patients wishes
Through the corial biopsy in the weeks 10-12 of pregnancy or amniocentesis in the weeks 15-20, the babys cells can be obtain for study so we can determine if there is any alteration in the chromosomes.
No, it is not. Recent cytogenetic techniques (FISH) allow us to know in just 24h if the baby has a trisomy of the 21 chromosome (Down Syndrome). With this test we can also know other frequent chromosomal abnormalities such as Tuner Syndrome, Edwards Syndrome, Patau Syndrome, etc
One out of eight women will contract breast cancer during our lives and a large majority of the cases have a genetic component. Thanks to genetics we can study if you have a predisposition and so can then take preventative measures. IB BIOTECH is a pioneering centre in the study of these linked genes.
Genetics is an essential tool in medicine due to the fact that a considerable percentage of human health issues have a hereditary component. Any genetic-based illness can be diagnosed via techniques in molecular biology
The majority of breast cancers are sporadic cancers, i.e. there is no indication to hereditary susceptibility to developing the illness. But there is a group, estimated at 10%, where a hereditary predisposition to cancer plays its part. A third of hereditary breast cancers are due to mutations in BRCA1, a further third are because of mutations in BRCA2 and the rest are due to other genes. Breast cancers associated with mutations in BRCA1 arise in pre-menopause (average age 42) and the development of contralateral breast cancer within 5 years is approximately 30% in women who are carriers of the mutation in BRCA1. Alterations in the gene BRCA2 are linked to male breast cancer.
Colon cancer is the second most frequent cause of cancer death in the West and 5% of the population will develop it.
Luckily at IB BIOTECH we can complete a study of all of the affected genes involved in the development of the illness and therefore rule out hereditary colon cancer or be able to take preventative measures in order to correct the predisposition.
The exact causes of colorectal cancer is unknown in the majority of cases although it is known that risk factors exist which favour its apparition. Some genetic syndromes increase the risk of developing colorectal cancer. The most well-known are Colonic polyposis and hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer or Lynch Syndrome.

SAN JOSE -- At least six bowl games remain in play as San Jose State athletic director Gene Bleymaier continues to work the phones to clear up the Spartans' postseason outlook.
"There's so many unknowns," Bleymaier said. "It could have been cleared up more last week, but it wasn't."
That's because several upsets last weekend led to there being 70 bowl-eligible teams for 35 games. Georgia Tech on Thursday became No. 71 -- even if it loses in the ACC title game to fall to 6-7 -- by receiving a waiver from the NCAA. Pittsburgh and Connecticut can punch their tickets with wins Saturday.
SJSU (10-2) is guaranteed a bowl as long as there are no more than 71 teams eligible. Central Michigan (6-6) is eligible now, but 6-6 teams that do not have an available conference tie-in cannot be selected ahead of teams with at least seven wins, so the Chippewas are effectively eliminated.
If the pool of teams jumps to 72 or 73, the guarantee is gone.
Considering SJSU's low home attendance numbers and the likelihood that it won't send a large contingent of fans on the road, a slim chance exists that the Spartans could get passed over.
San Jose State fans saw their 2008 team not get a bowl berth despite a 6-6 season. This year's team has positioned itself much better by closing the regular season with six straight wins, the last two on national television.
"It would be ludicrous," Bleymaier said of a snub happening this time. "It would be a travesty."
Bleymaier has had discussions with the Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl, Little Caesars Pizza Bowl, Military Bowl, Independence Bowl, Music City Bowl and GoDaddy.com Bowl. ESPN will air the bowl selection show at 6:30 p.m. Sunday (after the BCS selection show at 5:30).
SJSU's No. 25 ranking in the BCS and its 10 wins are the biggest factors working in its favor. Bleymaier said interest has increased since the Spartans cracked the rankings on Sunday.
"I think it certainly helped our cause and has turned some heads," Bleymaier said.
That should ease the tension of those who remember 2008, when SJSU was passed over by the Motor City Bowl, which is now the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl.
The game's executive director, Ken Hoffman, sees a more attractive product in SJSU this season.
"There's a huge difference between a 10-win team and a six- or seven-win team," Hoffman said.
SJSU is likely viewed as a program that won't travel well, especially with none of the available games being near the West Coast.
The Spartans averaged 10,789 fans over six home games, so it's hard to expect much on the road 2,000 or more miles away.
That's why the end of the season was important. By finishing 10-2 and earning a No. 25 ranking, SJSU has something to offer.
"A lot of bowls haven't had a top-25 team in them," coach Mike MacIntyre said.
SJSU might have already had its bowl destination decided if it weren't for a couple upsets in the Big East and another in Conference USA last weekend.
Pittsburgh and UConn are both one loss from being ineligible but stayed alive by beating ranked opponents. Now both are a victory away from heading to a bowl. Pitt plays at South Florida and UConn hosts Cincinnati on Saturday.
Southern Methodist upset Tulsa, which entered the game unbeaten in C-USA play. The Mustangs moved to 6-6 with the win, taking the last of C-USA's five bowl bids. They will head to the Hawaii Bowl, which had been a potential SJSU landing spot.
Another wild card is Kent State. The Golden Flashes are ranked No. 17 in the BCS standings entering the Mid-American Conference title game and could land in a BCS game if they climb a spot to No. 16. That would cause a shift in available games.
"Everybody's sort of on hold, because it's a domino effect," Bleymaier said. "I don't think decisions are going to be finalized until Saturday night or even Sunday."
MacIntyre admits he would love to see his team in the Music City Bowl, but the Spartans aren't in a position to be picky.
"Personally for me, that would be awesome," said MacIntyre, who is from Nashville, Tenn., where his parents still live. MacIntyre went to high school in the area and spent his first two years of college playing at Vanderbilt, where his father, George, was the coach.
The elder MacIntyre, who has multiple sclerosis, has not seen his son coach a game in person but would likely be able to if the Spartans make the Music City Bowl.
The anticipation might be the toughest thing for SJSU to deal with.
"We're all messing around, (saying) 'Tell us! We know you know,' " quarterback David Fales said. "Everyone's excited. We want to know. We can't wait."
These are potential bowl spots for San Jose State:

His Deal: He's open to having a relationship, but his life isn't dependent on it.
He's making an attempt to be different. There's a certain level of maturity and confidence needed to choose a date that involves a lot of (sober) conversation. He places value in getting to know someone and isn't aiming for a one-night stand, which is more than you can say for a lot of guys.
His Deal: He knows what he wants and doesn't want to waste time finding it. If a connection is there, he'll explore it.

THE NEWSPAPER OF THE SALISH, PEND d ORIELLES AND KOOTENAI TRIBES OF THE FLATHEAD RESERVATION 15 C HARKOOSTA Volume 4 - Number 9 FULL MOON OF THE HARVEST OF RIPE THINGS Judge Rules Against Tribe In Lake Case Missoula: A U.S. Federal Court Judge has found that non-Indians living along the south half of Flathead Lake may build and maintain docks and wharfs below the high water mark. The decision, by Federal court Judge William Jameson, came after nearly a year of in court and out of court debate over the emotionally charged issue of tribal rights to the reservation portion of the lake. Judge Jameson's decision upheld James Namen's right to build a 16 foot wide cause-say into the lake. Namen, who owns Jim's Marina in Poison, the city of Poison and the Flathead Lakers, Inc. jointly opposed the Confederated Salish and Kootenai tribes in the suit. Although Judge Jameson's decision favored Namen and other non-Indian landowners along the lake, there still remained a question as to whether the long causeway-breaker which led to the suit might abuse the landowners' right to gain access to the lake. Judge Jameson instructed both Namen and the tribe to submit briefs on the question and a hearing will be scheduled later. The decision came as a shock to many tribal officials. Tribal Councilman Bob McCrea, Dixon, called it "a disappointment", and Tribal Secretary Fred Houle , Jr. called it "a very complex decision on a very complicated case." Houle said that Jameson's ruling would probably be appealed. If appealed, the case will probably be reviewed by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. In brief, the case involved the tribe's treaty rights to the southern half of Flathead Lake and Namen's property (or riparian) rights to access of the lake. The tribe brought the suit against Namen when he constructed a long breakwater extending out into the lake from the marina facilities. The Tribe maintained that the 18 5 5 Hellgate treaty gave them exclusive rights to the southern half of the lake and charged that Namen had trespassed on lands held in trust. Namen, on the other hand, clamed that he had riparian rights to the lake by virtue of his succession of the lake shore land from Indian allotee Antoine Morias. Namen's attorney cleared that because Morias had access to the lake, the present owner of the land must also have access. Other parties entering the suit on the side of Namen added that the lake is "navigable" and therefor free to public access. It was also noted that the five acre "villa" sites along the lake were sold by the Department of Interior with the promise of access to the lake. See NAMEN, second column, page 2 Res. Schools Opening With New Programs Many of the thousand Indian children enrolled in Flathead Reservation schools will have more than reading, writing and arithmatic to look forward to this school year. Most schools throughout the reservation have included several interesting Indian studies courses into cur-riculums this year and a brand new "alternative school" will be opening its doors in Dixon later this month. Most public schools around the reservation have either opened or will shortly. Charlo, Dixon and Arlee opened August 2 6 . Other schools on the reservation, including St. Ignatius, Ronan, Poison, Elmo and the rural schools, will start classes September 3 . Most schools will be offering Johnson O'Malley projects for their Indian students. Hot Springs, in Sanders County, has applied to the Montana State Department of Public Education for several new programs. They have asked for $ 2 4 ,0 0 0 to fund a new Indian Studies class in the High School, an u'ult education program, Indian tutoring, an Indian Art program and a continuation of the home-school counceling service. Most other schools have applied for continuation of programs started last year. Ronan will offer Indian language classes taught by Larry Parker, Indian school tutoring and a home-school counceling service. Poison JOM has applied for an Arts and Crafts class, student transportation and a continuation of the home-school councelor. Poison High School will also offer an Indian history and literature class. Elmo elementary school has an Indian studies class, special education, student transportation and in-service home school counceling. Dixon high school will offer lapidary classes again this year as well as an outdoor education program. Charlo High School will have a continuation of the home-school counceling program. Arlee JOM committee has several projects in the fire. They wish to continue art classes, Indian stud les projects and a special joint JOM- National Science Foundation sponsored science project. Arlee will also purchase Indian studies literature and offer a home-school counceling service. A science project will also be offered at St. Ignatius schools. Mission school will also have an art program, adult evening education and Indian studies. Mission Turn to page 3____SCHOOLS

Clapton's Chatsworth Road sure is old. In the '30s it had up to 200 stalls peddling their wares up to five days a week. After the war the market dwindled and finally petered out in 1990 leaving Chatsworth Road slightly bereft. In November 2010, a band of locals and traders aimed to bring back the bustle and campaigned to get the market back on its feet. After two successful test runs, Chatsworth returned regularly with more than 40 stalls selling gourmet foods, vintage bric-a-brac, crafts, cakes and preserves, clothing, jewellery – and more than its fair share of hipsters. You'll recognise a handful of traders from Broadway Market, but there's also plenty of fresh produce available at the Sunday Morning Market – a few steps away at Rushmore Primary School (www.sundaymorningmarket.blogspot.com) – where you'll find fruit and veg, posh breads, homemade cakes and more bric-a-brac.

Run by local volunteers to bring a bit of sunshine to a Sunday stroll around Clapton. Always a great selection of stalls and places to eat.
Brilliant local market, lovely food, nice vibes, ,friendly stall holders. Great veg stall in teh school too!
A great way to spend a Sunday
Enuff already. I regularly buy bread at Percy Ingle and get jerk chicken from Too Sweet at least once a week - I also trade and shop at the market - you can do both!
i trecked over from Stokey and loved it. go there and check out the marshes afterwards!
Thanks for the kind words Time Out, if anyone's interested, Evi the Greek and her amazing spinach pies have a website here @ http://www.evisgreekfood.co.uk
Yes, and another market, Hackney Homemade and Vintage happens at the same time just off Chatsworth Road. See www.hackneyhome.co.uk and read this enthusiastic blog post http://wp.me/p16bTg-7o
