The Biosecurity Research Institute (BRI) at Pat Roberts Hall on the Kansas State University campus is a unique biocontainment research and education facility.
The BRI supports comprehensive "farm-to-fork" infectious disease research programs that address threats to plant, animal, and human health. Home to 113,000 square feet of lab, education, and administrative space, this BSL-3, ABSL-3 and BSL3-Ag facility offers countless research and education opportunities.
The concept for a facility dedicated to the protection of crops, livestock, food, and people from biological threats evolved from two key documents written in 1999. In March 1999, KSU proposed a "Homeland Defense Food Safety, Security and Emergency Preparedness Program"(pdf), and in October 1999 KSU President Jon Wefald presented testimony to the U.S. Senate's Emerging Threats Subcommittee, describing the "Agricultural Biological Weapons Threat: Food Safety, Security and Emergency Preparedness"(pdf). These documents appear to be as relevant today as they were in 1999 and are an excellent resource for those interested in protecting America's agricultural infrastructure and economy.

U.N. Peacekeeping:
Transition Strategies for Post-Conflict Countries Lack Results-Oriented Measures of Progress
GAO-03-1071: Published: Sep 26, 2003. Publicly Released: Sep 26, 2003.
Additional Materials:

The United Nations responded to the failure of some past peacekeeping operations by developing a strategy to help peacekeeping operations move a country from conflict to sustainable peace. It has attempted to apply this strategy to the large and costly peacekeeping operations in Sierra Leone, East Timor, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo since 2001. As a contributor of over 25 percent of the cost of U.N. operations, the United States has a stake in the successful application of this strategy. The strategy also has implications for the conduct of international peace operations in other post-conflict countries. GAO was asked to (1) identify the elements of the U.N. transition strategy; (2) assess the extent to which the United Nations has applied the strategy to operations; and (3) assess the challenges to implementing the strategy in these three countries.
The United Nations has developed a transition strategy for its peacekeeping operations that takes a comprehensive and long-term view and focuses on the causes of the conflict. The U.N. strategy for making effective peacekeeping transitions has three elements: (1) establishing conditions for sustainable peace, (2) coordinating efforts among the United Nations and other international organizations to establish these conditions and sustain assistance after peacekeepers withdraw, and (3) developing objectives and results-oriented measures of progress to help manage and decide when a country's conditions warrant the withdrawal of peacekeepers. The United Nations is attempting to apply the elements of this strategy to help Sierra Leone, East Timor, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo transition from conflict to sustainable peace, but it faces enormous challenges. Establishing security often takes longer and can be more expensive than originally planned in countries where rival factions may continue to fight. Developing participatory governance is also difficult in countries with little experience of accountable government. Coordinating with independent international organizations and donor nations with different priorities is also a challenge. The United Nations has not yet developed results-oriented measures of progress for the three peacekeeping operations. Although the United Nations uses some indicators to manage the withdrawal of peacekeeping troops, they did not have results-oriented measures to assess the security situations in Sierra Leone and East Timor and subsequent events in each country showed that the situation was not as secure as available measures indicated. The U.N. Department of Peacekeeping Operations acknowledges that it needs better indicators by which to measure the progress peacekeeping operations are making in attaining sustainable peace. However, the department has not yet developed these indicators.

A great experience! Definitely off-mainstream venue, repurposed room in an old factory that contributed to a very bohemian feel. The play was surprisingly good; a few less polished spots and transitions, but on the whole definitely a more raw, genuine and insightful exploration of characters and relationships. Will definitely look out for more productions from the company and the playwright!

Some details about the fraudulent check:
It did contain the correct first and last name but the address listed on check was a residence I hadn't lived at for nearly ten years.
The check listed "PHE Subscription" as the company that processed the check and listed a telephone number of "1-866-641-2399". I have since learned that there are many different variations of this name used in these fraudulent withdrawals.
This may also be related- I have a ProPay account and many victims of this crime also report having a ProPay account.
On a related note, if you have an account with Compass Bank, get your money out now! They will not reverse fraudulent withdrawals on your banking accounts! I was lucky enough to find this out for only $39.99. It could have easily been thousands! Yes, they are aware of the many fraud reports associated with MB Pink Home Entertainment but it is was not enough to sway them to reverse the unauthorized debit on my account.- and I was a customer of theirs for over ten years! In that entire time I never had a fraudulent check drafted on my account. Well, needless to say I got a new account elsewhere. As far as I am concerned, Compass Bank is just as complicate in this fraudulent activity as MB Home Entertainment.

Our culture condones and encourages alcohol consumption socially often to the point of inebriation as a recent Centers for Disease Control study shows. Binge alcohol consumption (more than 5 drinks per occasion) is on the rise with consequences for safety and health.
Compared to alcohol those using marijuana are safer drivers, aren't prone to violence or risky behavior, and suffer very few negative consequences, yet the double standard of criminalization of cannabis remains.
The CDC has reason to believe that binge drinking has negative health consequences, and can lead to risky sexual behavior, automobile accidents, and physical violence.
In response to these risks the page offers actions governments, communities, and healthcare professionals can take to help reduce binge drinking.
Rather astutely the site recommends recognizing the number of deaths and disease caused by binge drinking, and supporting community strategies to help discourage binge drinking including education campaigns.
Given that many are concerned with potential negative effects of cannabis, any of the above recommendations would be effective in treating the perceived threat of cannabis dependence instead of involving normal citizens in an overburdened penal system.
Why should cannabis be treated differently?
Despite binge drinking among adults being on the rise, teen alcohol and tobacco use is down which pose far greater health and social risks than cannabis.
Parents should be able to educate their children about marijuana in open dialogue without a cloud of taboo hanging over the conversation.
Although millions of Americans go drinking every day to relax, socialize, and even do business, those who use marijuana towards the same ends are treated with suspicion and labeled as criminals.
The study makes clear to state that 'most people who binge drink are not alcohol dependent or alcoholics'.
Contrast the way cannabis users are perceived and the hypocrisy of our cultural values become clear. Someone who consumes cannabis, even infrequently is labeled as a stoner though they are no different than one of the many American's who binge drink, but are not considered 'alcoholics'.
The double standard allowing the real risk of alcohol to be treated with community efforts of education while cannabis users go to jail and violent drug trafficking operations make billions is unconscionable.
This divide is systemic prejudice against a plant known to be a safe medicine, food, and valuable industrial fiber.
Educating people about the safety of cannabis is vital and must begin to outweigh the din of prohibitionist propaganda.
Responsible use is what we should advocate for any drug including alcohol and cannabis. We should work to empower parents to educate their children about appropriate uses of all types of drugs and empower young adults to make good choices when they encounter them.

Just thought it would be interesting to see what piece and board styles different members use on the site.
I use a modern pieces on a green board...
This is on my android but I use the same on the site.
...show off :)
Classic or Alpha on plain gray/white squares.
Club or Classic on plain gray/white squares. Blue or green would be OK, but it too much color on it - must be much more washed out.
No offense, but I assure you cca. + 150 rating improvement if you change your pieces into something legible.
Quote: "No offense, but I assure you cca. + 150 rating improvement if you change your pieces into something legible."
I will greatly appreciate if you explain why is that so?
It is just matter of taste, pal.
To me Modern styly in 1st topic really ugly.
BTW can anybody explain to me: why all pieces has flat bottom line but King and Queen has ellipse? It is just not right. Only Omega set has right pictures.
thats weird i never thought about it, you really need to be chess player @ sergey...
It is just because I am a drafter and it is difficult for me to see this incorrectness
BTW - modern style is correct in this aspect.
More 'fun' modes would be nice:
That's awesome! Can you tell me what the symbols for the king and queen are?
Thanks! I always imagine the queen as a deadly assassin, for the king I used an 'asbergo' logo....seemed to fit!
I use the current default set, but will enjoy setting up a new set when I buy a membership.

'Jodorowsky's Dune' peeks inside greatest movie never made
Documentary looks at director's grand sci-fi vision
"Jodorowsky's Dune" is a movie about the greatest movie never made, and the man who never made it.
But oh, what he wanted it to be.
Back in the days when the moon was in the seventh house, Alejandro Jodorowsky — the surrealist director of "El Topo" and, at age 84, still a passionate, first-person witness to long-gone events — set out to film Frank Herbert's seminal science-fiction book "Dune," a complex, futuristic tale about the most coveted substance in the universe.
He approached legendary effects artist Douglas Trumbull, of "2001: A Space Odyssey," but their egos clashed. So he assembled an army of "spiritual warriors" whose work is eye-poppingly presented here: the illustrator Moebius, sci-fi cover artist Chris Foss, creature designer H.R. Giger and "Dark Star" effects artist Diane O'Bannon.
He hoped to cast Salvador Dali and Mick Jagger and asked Pink Floyd to create a trippy soundtrack for the film, which was intended to "give people hallucinations without LSD." His ambitious vision, budgeted at $15 million, was ahead of its time, given the technologies of the day.
Had it been made, Jodorowsky's mind-blowing vision would have preceded "Star Wars" by several years and perhaps — commentators here optimistically speculate — changed the course of the sci-fi blockbuster genre. But studios were too afraid of a director whose shocking and bizarre "El Topo" was a box-office smash and a midnight cult movie.
All that is left of Jodorowsky's "Dune" today is a bound, lushly illustrated, shot-by-shot storyboard, copies of which were sent to the various studios, and whose influence trickled down to other films. His warriors had their fingers in much of what was to come, including "Star Wars,""Alien,""Total Recall,""Tron" and "Prometheus."
It was left to fellow surrealist David Lynch to make a ridiculous and reviled film version of Herbert's book, in whose failure Jodorowsky understandably delights.
What these other films were missing was this outsider artist's sacred and poetic sensibility. Jodorowsky has an actor's charisma and is a natural storyteller. Every frame of this documentary by Frank Pavich is brimming with Jodorowsky's intensity and enthusiasm for the film he never made, and the effect is to create a sense of loss in us for what might have been. Jodorowsky didn't make another film for 23 years.
One of the commentators is "Drive" director Nicolas Winding Refn, who is one of the few to see the film as Jodorowsky intended, in the sense that one night after dinner he sat down with the director, who used the storyboard to narrate the story and shot selection to him. This is the closest the rest of us will ever get.

Hi there, this is an odd board for me to join. Actually my dd is 7. She was born in May, 03. But, we made the very big and kind of hard decision to have her repeat first grade this year. The school was against us doing this. Which was interesting - they pointed out how she was having problems due to inattentiveness and crying a lot. She has anxiety and cries easily if she is doing something wrong, etc. She is doing great academically but is quite immature - I'm even seeing it compared to the kids she's in school with now - while she should be a second grader, she's in first (again) and is less mature than some of them! She's sweet, interested a lot in studying and learning (which I love), outgoing, but awkward and that's hard to say about your own child. She also has anxiety as I said. We are lucky that with school being easier for her this year, she does not cry much. When it was more challenging, that made her cry easily. She's hard on herself and wants perfection when another child would not care about getting something wrong. We changed schools and that's why we felt it was the right time to have her repeat. Sorry to ramble. Looking forward to following this board and maybe I can provide insight as we've been in first grade last year so this is all stuff we have been through. Finally, is the graduation year for our group 2020? Wow, it seems so far away!

Hi! Many people on this board chose to hold their child an extra year, since it's so close to the cutoff, and they are just now starting Kindergarten.
However, there is a board for those that graduate in 2022 (first graders now):

Hi, this has been a great plugin but I've run into a problem. I thought the plugin places the share buttons after the post. However, more precisely they are placed as the last item within the
<article> tags, which isn't normally a problem.
However I've just started splitting my long posts over several pages and the plugin WP-Pagenavi also wants to add it's navigation of 'Part 1, 2, etc' as the last item within the
<article> tags.
Clearly, they can't both be the last item. At the moment the sharing buttons appear before the post navigation. You can see what I mean here: http://crosswebideas.com/how-to-recent-comments-widget-private-blog.html
If you picture it, the post navigation and the article belong together whereas the social sharing buttons should appear after (such as at the top of comments.php). Could you tell me if there is somewhere in the code that I could tweak to re-position the sharing buttons?

The Mercedes driver has retired from two of the first three races of the 2013 Formula 1 campaign, and was disappointed after Malaysia when he was given an order to hold position in the closing stages.
Despite the situation, which has left him 28 points behind Hamilton in the standings, Rosberg says the fact his Mercedes is so competitive is more than adequate compensation.
"It has been disappointing not to finish, but I am really looking forward because I come here with a good car and the belief that I can really make it happen this weekend," said Rosberg.
"That is a really nice feeling that I don't remember so much from last year, because towards the middle of the season that was gone and we were nowhere.
"So, I am going with that - and I am really looking forward to what is to come because I have a great car."
Rosberg believes that Mercedes is in a different situation to 12 months ago, when its form was compromised by overheating rear tyres and it could not keep up a strong enough rate of development over the season.
"Our biggest weakness was tyre overheating, which was a big issue here, but I am confident we are much improved on that so we should be better on that front," explained Rosberg.
"The second thing is development, so I am trying to work with the engineers and try to make sure that we are on top of our game and keeping up with the best in F1 in terms of the development rate.
"That was crucial last year. I am very enthusiastically motivated to get started."

I'm going to visit every single National Park Service site in the US!
In March 2007 I sold my house and have been traveling around the world ever since. Since I started traveling, I have probably done and seen more than I have in the rest of my life combined.
So far I have visited over 170 countries and territories , all 50 US states, every Canadian province, every Australian state and territory, over 100 US National Park Service sites and over 290 UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
I have also:
That trip stuck with me for years. I made a few other international trips after that to the Bahamas, Iceland and Argentina, but never really made a commitment to travel.
In 2004 I decided to go back to school and study geology. After seeing the hell that PhD students were going through, the idea of going to graduate school became very unappealing.
I decided to travel around the world.
It took about 2 years for me to tie up all the loose ends I had and sell my house. Finally, on March 13, 2007 I turned over the keys to my home.
I thought I'd be traveling for a year or maybe two. So far it has been over 8 years with no end in sight!

I gave them a $700 down payment as stated in California law but they charged my credit card $3500 without my authorization. I called and asked them to refund the $2800 they charged without my permission and they said they would but never did.
As of Sept 5th, they still were not ready to start. After 60 days of delays, I cancelled the job and the NEW owner Keith Siegle refuses to refund my money. Again, they never started work after 6o days of accuses and delays. I contacted Calif Contractors License Board and Rebath refuses to refund my money.
I am now in contact with the REBATH bond company, BBB, Calif License Contrators Board for a refund and even wrote a letter to REBATH Corp office without response.

Lots of folks like girls…but corpses? To find both together, grab a copy of Girls and Corpses magazine. Publisher and "Deaditor-In-Chief" Robert Rhine is the driver for this wild ride. As he explains…
Man Cave Daily: The obvious first—-why Girls and Corpses?
Robert Rhine: Horror films have putting Girls and Corpses together since the beginning of celluloid. Dracula is a corpse and he's always biting the necks of sexy girls, The Mummy, Creature from The Black Lagoon, Nightmare on Elm Street and just about every teen campy horror film has sexy girls being chased around by corpses.
So, Girls and Corpses magazine is a celebration of that film tradition. But we put a crazy spin on it, since the girls are not the victims but rather survivors and all the men are the corpses. Maybe that's why our female readership is 65%. Girls and Corpses is like that accident you just have to slow down to stare at. It's about the extremes of life and death. We are, in fact, the first and only comedy magazine about death. But the power is in our title and the extreme difference in those two words, Girls and Corpses.
MCD: What's the "idea" behind the magazine?
RR: Well…I died when I was ten years old. Really. I had a massive skull fracture and my brain partially came out of my skull. I went to the "other side" and wound up in the hospital for all of fifth grade. My parents were told I was a goners. But I survived, lost vision in one eye for a spell, had my head covered with a plastic sprayed on dome to protect my brain and…I survived. Twenty years, later I wrote a book which was published and sold at major bookstores titled, "My Brain Escapes Me" with an X-Ray of my skull on the cover. So, I think this experience with death led to a fascination with the subject. I continued writing fiction (short stories and anthologies) and sold over 100 stories to magazines and also wrote the comic book series: Selected Readings From Satan's Powder Room, Chicken Soup For Satan, Satan Gone Wild and a 280-page graphic novel, with 43 of the top horror artists, in the world titled, Satan's three-Ring Circus of Hell.
These comic books and graphic noves led me to having a booth at Comic Con for eight years with my friend, comic artist Frank Forte, who has a company called Asylum Press. I would always bring corpses to our booths and girls would constantly ask to have their photos taken with the corpses and I thought, "What's up with girls and corpses?! And the idea was hatched. I always liked the combination of horror and dark comedy, like my favorite film Shawn of The Dead. I feel horror and comedy co-exist perfectly together, elevating each genre. I also like extremes—-and what is more extreme than a beautiful young girl and a rotting corpse?
MCD: Where do you get your ideas?
RR: The unifying themes are death, the extreme and comedy—-think Maxim meets Dawn of The Dead meets MAD. As a writer, I have always been fortunate to have ideas pop right into my skull without having to suffer from writers block. I just simply write articles and do interviews of things and people I'm interested in. I want every page in Girls and Corpses magazine to make you go…WTF!
MCD: We hear that there are REAL corpses in every issue–what is that all about? And why?
RR: Well, you can't have a magazine about death without showing it. We also publish articles on autopsies, forensics, cremations, funeral homes, crime scene cleanups. We want people to learn about the world of death—-which is a club we will all join one day. When Body Worlds Exhibits started touring the country, I saw that real cadavers could be preserved and used as sculptures—-so why not in a magazine? So, yes, there are real corpses in every issue…we just don't say which ones. It's like finding the prize in a Cracker Jack box.
MCD: But the photo shoots are with girls, right?
Girls LOVE shooting with corpses. Yes, I know it's weird but that's how Girls and Corpses magazine came about in the first place. Who would have ever figured that about…except maybe me? I am contacted daily by hundreds of girls from all over the world begging…yes, begging…to be in Girls and Corpses magazine. It's a phenomenon—-but girls do love horror. We have also had celebrities on our covers like: Sheri Moon Zombie, Gilbert Gottfried, Sid Haig, George Romero, Billy Moseley, Scout Taylor-Compton, Danielle Harris, Courtney Stodden and our winter issue with Farrah Abraham on the cover. We have never ever had a problem finding models…because they find us.
In the future we will have more celebrities on our covers as we start spreading like a zombie plague around the globe. We also getting in the film business and have more surprises in store–could a reality show be in our future? Girls and Corpses is the future…and the future is death.
Girls and Corpses magazine can be found on newsstands in the U.S., Canada and now worldwide. It's said to be the most stolen magazine off the newsstands.

The Comprehensive Cancer Center at Pardee has been honored with the Outstanding Achievement Award from the Commission on Cancer (CoC) of the American College of Surgeons.
Established in 2004, the CoC Outstanding Achievement Award is designed to recognize cancer programs that strive for excellence in providing quality care to cancer patients. A facility receives the OAA following an on-site evaluation by a physician surveyor during which the facility demonstrates a Commendation level of compliance with seven standards that represent the full scope of the cancer program and also receives a compliance rating for the remaining 29 standards.
"Speaking for all of the individuals involved with the Comprehensive Cancer Program at Pardee, we are excited to learn of our facility receiving the Commission on Cancer's Outstanding Achievement Award for excellence in cancer services," said Thomas Eisenhauer, M.D., F.A.C.S., Chairman of the Cancer Committee at the Comprehensive Cancer Center at Pardee. "This recognition cannot be obtained by one or two people, but is only attainable when a large number of providers consistently work together to deliver oncology services to our patients. We know the care that we provide is the best available. Our patients continually express gratitude for the exceptional care that they receive. And now our community, through this prestigious award, will realize the outstanding cancer services available through Pardee."
Established in 1922 by the American College of Surgeons, the CoC is a consortium of professional organizations dedicated to improving survival rates and quality of life for cancer patients through standard-setting, prevention, research, education and the monitoring of comprehensive, quality care. Its membership includes Fellows of the American College of Surgeons and 42 national organizations that reflect the full spectrum of cancer care.
The Accreditation Program, a component of the CoC, sets quality-of-care standards for cancer programs and reviews the programs to ensure they conform to those standards. Accreditation by the CoC is given only to those facilities that have voluntarily committed to providing the highest level of quality cancer care and that undergo a rigorous evaluation process and review of their performance. To maintain accreditation, facilities with CoC-accredited cancer programs must undergo an on-site review every three years.
The Comprehensive Cancer Center at Pardee offers a full range of advanced treatment and diagnostic services performed by highly qualified cancer specialists. Services include surgery, medical oncology, radiation oncology, advanced radiology and laboratory diagnostic support and clinical treatment trials. Community education programs, cancer screenings, support groups and holistic patient and family support are also available.
The Henderson County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously today on a revised Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Pardee Hospital and UNC Health Care System (UNCHCS) that builds upon the current affiliation and strengthens the partnership between the two health care organizations.
The MOU sets the foundation for a revised Management Agreement between Pardee, UNCHCS and Henderson County. This agreement replaces the current management agreement between Pardee and UNCHCS by extending the relationship from 10 to 25 years. The MOU allows UNCHCS greater direct involvement with Pardee's clinical, business, and financial operations. Furthermore, this announcement allows for the potential investment by UNCHCS in Pardee facilities and operations and potential expansion of clinical facilities at Pardee. The new agreement will also extend the duration of Pardee Hospital's lease with the county for both the hospital buildings and land.
"From the onset, this affiliation was always intended to improve access and delivery of medical services to Henderson County and beyond," said Bill Moyer, Pardee Hospital Board Chair. "We've seen these benefits first hand and we want to build upon this success. I can't help reflect upon the 60 years that Pardee has been caring for this region and how we are even more prepared than ever to serve our patients."
"We are very pleased with the terrific way the Hospital Corporation and UNC Health Care System have worked to make Pardee an even better hospital for this community," said Henderson County Board of Commissioners Chairman Charlie Messer. "The cooperative arrangement has been extremely effective, and we look forward to greater cooperation in the future to insure that even in a time of great change in healthcare, Pardee will remain a viable and valuable institution for the citizens of the County."
County Manager, Steve Wyatt, "You have to give a lot of credit to the County Commissioners for recognizing the challenges the County hospital faces in the days to come and for meeting these challenges head on."
This agreement also revises the structure of the Pardee Hospital Board of Directors. The current board is compromised of 11 members. The new structure expands the board to a total of 15 members with appointments being made by the Henderson County Board of Commissioners and by UNC Health Care System.
Gary L. Park, President of UNC Hospitals, said, "We are thrilled with our relationship with Pardee Hospital. It is an exceptional organization with strong leadership and strong governance. We are a stronger system because of our relationship with Pardee. I have great respect for the Pardee Board and I applaud the county commissioners for their cooperation and their vision."
This announcement comes almost two years after the original June 2011 affiliation of Pardee and UNCHCS. In this time, Pardee and the citizens it serves has benefited from expanding insurance coverage for its patients, a broad range of resources, and access to the growing network of UNCHCS.
Pardee will host a community blood drive for the Blood Connection on Friday, May 10, from 12 – 4:30 p.m. at the Pardee Signature Care Center located in the Blue Ridge Mall.
In order to donate blood, one must be healthy, at least 17 years old, weigh 110 pounds or more, and not have donated blood in the past 56 days. Walk-in donors will be accepted, but those with appointments will be seen first. All donors will receive a free t-shirt and two movie passes. Appointments are requested by calling the Pardee Health Education Center at (828) 692-4600.
Pardee Hospital will hold an open house to welcome the hospital's newest internal medicine physician, Jamie Anthony, M.D.
The event will be held Thursday, May 2, from 4 - 6 p.m. at Pardee Internal Medicine Associates, located at 709A North Justice Street. Refreshments will be served.
Dr. Anthony is board-certified in internal medicine and received her doctorate from St. George's University School of Medicine in Grenada, West Indies. She completed her residency training at Norwalk Hospital in Norwalk, Conn., and most recently worked at Premier Internal Medicine, an outpatient practice in Brighton, Mich.
Dr. Anthony's approach to patient care combines up-to-date medical standards with careful listening. "I enjoy getting to know my patients well and learning about their health goals," she says. "Whether they are dealing with an acute or chronic health issue, my job as a physician is to guide my patients in the right direction using the latest, proven standards in care." As a new resident of Hendersonville, Dr. Anthony says she and her husband are enjoying the friendliness and beauty of the area. They recently welcomed a baby to their family.
Pardee Internal Medicine Associates is a group of carefully selected and trained individuals who work as a team to offer courteous, compassionate health care. All physicians at the practice have full admitting privileges at Pardee Hospital. Dr. Anthony is currently accepting new patients. To schedule an appointment, call (828) 694-7630.

Fionnula is scheduled to begin production on the pilot early next month in Toronto.
The series is set in the near future and will depict a completely transformed planet Earth, inhabited by the survivors of a universal war.
Fionnula will play Nicky, the popular ex-mayor of the town of Defiance, who is a mentor to her successor, played by Amanda (Julie Benz).
Kirshner will play Kenya, a woman devoted to the town.
The series, developed alongside an online video game, is written and executive produced by Rockne S O'Bannon, Kevin Murphy and Michael Taylor, for Universal Cable Productions.
Defiance will be broadcast on Syfy next year. The role comes some two years after Ms Flanagan was honoured with a Lifetime Achievement award at the Irish Film And Television Awards (IFTAs).
Fionnula, who made her screen debut in a 1967 film version of Ulysses, also had a recurring role in hit TV series Lost.
IFTA chief executive Aine Moriarty described Ms Flanagan as "a wonderful representative, internationally, of Ireland's film and television industry".
Ms Flanagan said she was "bowled over" by the award..
"It is a great honour to be invited to join the ranks of the gifted former recipients," she said.
Born in Dublin in 1941, the actress trained at the Abbey and London's Old Vic.
Director Terry George cast Ms Flanagan in her most acclaimed role, as the mother of a hunger striker in the film Some Mother's Son, opposite Helen Mirren.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - Nick Howard (So., Olney, Md.) went a career-best 5-for-5 and drove in three runs to lift the No. 5 Virginia baseball team to a 6-2 win over Richmond Tuesday evening at Davenport Field. Howard is the first Cavalier to record five hits in a game since Stephen Bruno on April 21, 2012, at Duke.
Brandon Downes (So., South Plainfield, N.J.) added a pair of doubles and two RBI for Virginia (36-6), while Branden Cogswell (So., Ballston Lake, N.Y.) went 2-for-3 with two runs scored. Mike Papi (So., Tunkhannock, Pa.) walked and scored three times as well for UVa. Bases on balls proved to be huge for the Cavaliers, who drew six walks, with five coming around to score.
David Rosenberger (Fr., Bethlahem, Pa.), the second of four Virginia pitchers, worked a career-long three innings to earn his first win. Rosenberger (1-0) allowed four hits and two walks while striking out a pair. After starter Josh Sborz (Fr., McLean, Va.) allowed a pair of runs in three innings, UVa's bullpen of Rosenberger, Nathaniel Abel (So., Haymarket, Va.) and Whit Mayberry (R-Jr., Alexandria, Va.) combined to shut out the Spiders on six hits over the final six frames.
Virginia never trailed in the game and scored twice in the first inning to grab an early lead. Cogswell and Papi drew walks and with two outs, Derek Fisher (So., Rexmont, Pa.) and Howard hit back-to-back RBI singles to give the Cavaliers a 2-0 edge.
Richmond (24-15) tied the game in the third inning. With one out Nick Poulos singled, stole second and scored on a Mike Small single. Small came around to score on a double by Tanner Stanley.
Virginia promptly took the lead back for good in its half of the third. Papi drew a leadoff walk and Downes followed with a double. One out later Howard singled to right field to bring Papi home.
The Cavaliers added three runs in the fourth inning to take a 6-2 lead. Cogswell and Papi each drew walks and with two outs, Downes lined a double off the left-field wall, scoring both runners. After Derek Fisher (So., Rexmont, Pa.) walked, Howard doubled to left to plate Downes.
Both teams had scoring opportunities over the final five innings but failed to cash in on them. Richmond stranded 11 runners in the game and left eight on base over the final five frames, while UVa left 13 runners on base in the game, including two in three of the final four innings.
Virginia will play host to James Madison at 6 p.m. Wednesday before heading to Blacksburg this weekend for a three-game ACC series with Virginia Tech. The Cavaliers travel to VCU next Tuesday (April 30) for a 7 p.m. game at The Diamond; the contest leads into UVa's nine-day break for final exams.

THE FLANARANT: A new retail model to cut clothing costs
By Mike Flanagan | 16 May 2011
Most people agree the garment industry has reached the end of the road as far as continuously falling clothing production prices are concerned. But could the internet offer apparel retailers the next big opportunity to take costs out of the supply chain? asks Mike Flanagan.
Garment production prices haven't stopped falling just because wages and raw material prices are going up. It's also because we've virtually exhausted all the cost saving benefits of moving production offshore for the past 20 years.
Until 1 January 2009, when quotas were finally lifted on US garment imports from China, and the EU stopped requiring export licences for garments from China, there had been limits on garment imports for as long as anyone can remember.
Those restrictions took decades to eliminate, but by the end of 2010 Western buyers had come close to getting as much mileage as possible from Asia's low manufacturing wages. Not completely though.
Asian businesses keep investing in new infrastructure, and importing nations keep on changing their import rules, so the best places for good value in 2009 won't necessarily be the best places in 2011.
Our new 'Clothesource guide to apparel trade regulations 2012,' available from just-style, for example, helps buyers track the impact on garment buying of:
- The new system of free trade areas between Japan, Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand;
- Japan's new laws on duty-free access for knitted garments from the world's poorest countries; and The EU's new rules on imports from very poor countries and from countries along the southern and Eastern shores of the Mediterranean.
Meanwhile the 'Clothesource World Apparel Sourcing Monitor 2012' also available from just-style, looks at emerging product category strengths and price competitiveness from over a hundred different exporting countries.
But not even the most assiduous users of the information in these new guides will see the kind of savings that many buyers achieved by switching production between 1990 and 2010.
The end of the road
The fact is we've come to the end of a very long era. For most of the past 250 years, the garment and textile industry has seen a series of technical and legal innovations which had the effect of constantly bringing down garment production prices.
The Industrial Revolution started with the mechanisation of spinning and weaving: railways and steam ships were first developed to speed up the transport of cotton from the United States to the factories of Manchester.
The movement of garment production over the past 15 years to places up to 10,000 miles away from the final customer was just the last step in a process that started in the mid-18th century with the invention of mechanised spinning and weaving
Can it really be that with the final implementation of a quota-free regime in 2009 that the cycle of perpetual cost reduction has finally come to an end?
Well as far as the production of clothing is concerned, probably yes. But of course production and transport of the garment and its raw materials are only part of a garment's cost.
Gap, for example, adds an average of 70% to the cost of a garment landed in the US to pay for the garment's handling, storage and wastage, the salaries of the people involved in those processes - and the dividends it pays its shareholders. Many retailers add even more.
And for many retailers there's been little reduction over the past 20 years in the mark-up they need to provide their services. So is the cost of apparel retailing going to be the next area that new technology will revolutionise?
Online opportunities
Of course in many industries, such a question isn't really worth asking. Amazon has devastated specialist book retailers, while supermarkets and the web have almost eliminated conventional music stores. Travel agents are almost a thing of the past.
But the web has so far had a rather different effect on selling clothes. Generally, its increased consumer choice, made clothes buying more convenient, and helped retailers reach shoppers who could not otherwise get to their stores. But it has hardly brought costs down at all.
For domestic sales, the cost of courier or postal delivery to a home is generally more expensive than maintaining a shop in a prime location. For most foreign sales, customers often find themselves faced with a bill for import duty, local sales tax and a courier's administration.
Retailers and service suppliers have been working hard to make clothes buying on the internet more seamless. But it's fair to say that there isn't a hint of an Amazon or Spotify on the horizon likely to suggest the imminent disappearance of Gap or Zara shops anytime this century.
Are we all this missing something screamingly obvious? Surely there must be some visionary Chinese businessman who right this minute is building a warehouse from where low-wage pickers will assemble web customers' orders, put them into robust shipping packs, then FedEx them so they'll arrive at a customer's mailbox in Ohio 24 hours later - all for just a fraction of the cost of running thousands of physical stores?
Is the garment industry's final frontier going to be the virtual elimination of retail costs?
Of course there's no reason retailing has to take place in the country where a garment is going to be worn. Indeed the garment trade is already seeing a couple of examples where technology has moved the point of sale.
In Australia for example, there is no import duty or sales tax on goods ordered over the Internet - and the Australian currency is currently riding high. So (especially with some high ticket items like ski boots), Australians can save a great deal by buying over the web from mainland Asia or from Europe. Indeed some specialist Australian retailers have started charging deposits to customers coming in for advice and sizing.
People will try ski boots on in an Australian sports shop, then go online to buy the shoes they've just tried on far more cheaply from a web retailer thousands of miles away.
In the London area, it is increasingly common for men to get measured for bespoke suits from visiting representatives of Chinese or Indian tailors. They select the fabric in London, the representative e-mails the details back home, and then a week or so later, FedEx delivers the suit at a price well below what any London tailor would charge.
Both with tailoring in London and ski boots in Australia, customers are prepared to live with a slightly messy arrangement for returning faulty or ill-fitting goods in return for the substantial savings remote shopping offers.
And no-one's yet shown that the environmental damage from FedExing is greater than the damage caused by huge networks of warehouses and retail shops.
But apart from these few exceptions, the web hasn't yet significantly driven down mainstream clothing prices. In practice:
- Couriering a garment around the world almost always costs considerably more than conventional retailer mark-ups. Even sending a garment around the world by surface mail adds a substantial delay between the customer ordering a product online and receiving it, and can still add a significant cost.
- But most of the time, ordering garments online from abroad is a customer-unfriendly affair. Most shoppers are happy with the speed of the arrival - but profoundly annoyed at the substantial tax bill that comes with it, and the inconvenience of paying the bill if the customer was out.
Garments generally carry one of the highest import tax levels of any kind of consumer goods. And the recent failure of the Doha Development Round of trade talks at the WTO means we're not likely to see them coming down worldwide for many years yet.
Although techno-fanatics have long argued that Western governments should stop charging import duty on web-ordered goods, they have zero chance of success: with governments' budgets under pressure, there is simply no political appetite anywhere for upsetting conventional retailers and seeing a fall in public income at the same time.
Getting easier
But there are signs things are beginning to get easier. One Distribution Centre (DC) in low cost Europe can now service almost any EU address overnight, with no import duty or local sales tax bills. One DC in the US can serve the US in the same way - though at present, bills are presented to some addressees in Canada for import duty and provincial GST for any garment manufactured outside NAFTA.
In Asia, an expanding network of Free Trade Areas puts us very close to being able to send most Asian garments duty-free to anywhere in Japan, China, Australia, New Zealand and the ASEAN group from a warehouse in any south-east Asian city (like Bangkok, Singapore or Kuala Lumpur).
And a number of postal administrations, like Britain's Royal Mail, now have some arrangements by which foreign vendors can prepay import duty on web ordered goods.
It's almost inconceivable that any US or European country will stop charging hefty import duty on Chinese clothes in the near future.
But it is already possible for garments to be packed in an Asian factory for shipping to consumers, surface freighted in bulk to three DCs in Europe, the US and Southeast Asia, where pre-packed garments are picked and air-freighted overnight to an end consumer without the need for messy paperwork.
80% of the world's garment market can be served with such a system - and for many garments, delivery to a customer would be quicker, easier, cheaper - and possibly greener - than through conventional retailing.
Most major retailers are quite aware of all this - but most see it as a way of providing a larger proportion of potential customers with a better buying experience. No-one, as far I'm aware, is yet planning to launch themselves on the world as a true online garment discounter.
But sooner or later, someone is going to marry all this together and launch Apparelzon: a real garment industry "category killer" capable of undercutting retailers able only to deal on 70% mark-ups.
When that happens, we'll see a greater revolution in clothing prices than at any time since the first spinning machine was invented in the 1750s. And in my view, the revolution will be led by those retailers who would risk being put out of business if they let someone else do it first.
Until then, commercial garment buyers are going to stay under pressure from their management to moderate inflationary pressures. And our new aids - the Clothesource guide to apparel trade regulations 2012, and the Clothesource World Apparel Sourcing Monitor 2012 will help buyers keep their bosses at bay.
