Stayed away from the scale for a few days, continued on with the clean potato diet (just Red, Russet and Yukons, salt, pepper and a little vinegar), still about 3.5 pounds cooked per day (nuked and boiled).
Sunday is my normal weekly weigh-in day, so I went for it. Started this hack last Tuesday at 201 pounds. Today I'm 213. Last Sunday I was 199. Not happy.

Annual Survey of Moms Shows Strong Growth for the Fruits & Veggies--More Matters Brand
Significantly more moms are motivated by the Fruits & Veggies—More Matters logo to purchase and eat more fruit and vegetables in 2013 compared to 2007. Of the 26% of moms familiar with the brand, 49% are likely to purchase a product that carries the logo on packaging and 41% believe the Fruits & Veggies—More Matters brand helps to motivate them and their families to eat more fruit and vegetables; up from 24% since 2007. PBH conducts an annual survey of moms with children 10 years of age and under to assess fruit and vegetable consumption, barriers to increased consumption, and awareness of the Fruits & Veggies—More Matters brand. The 2013 survey was sponsored by Del Monte Fresh Produce and the Produce Marketing Association.
Supermarkets continue to be the primary channel in which moms become familiar with the Fruits & Veggies—More Matters logo, either through an in-store display, ad, or seeing the logo on packaging. "I'm pleased that supermarkets continue to be the top venue where moms see and learn about Fruits & Veggies—More Matters," said Elizabeth Pivonka, Ph.D., R.D., president and CEO of PBH.

Currently over 2,300 packages are approved to carry the Fruits & Veggies—More Matters logo, 370 fruit and vegetable organizations are licensed to use the logo, as well as 75% of all US based supermarkets, and over 7.7 billion consumer impressions have been generated by use of the logo on packaging and in supermarket weekly circulars since 2007."
The work of PBH's donors and licensees in supporting the Fruits & Veggies—More Matters brand coupled with PBH's brand marketing efforts have generated over 21 billion consumer impressions, and, on average, every American has been reached 68 times since the launch of Fruits & Veggies—More Matters in 2007.

Christine Joy "Chrissy" Amphlett (/æmflət/; 25 October 1959 – 21 April 2013) was an Australian singer, songwriter and actress who was the frontwoman of the Australian rock band Divinyls.
Amphlett grew up in Geelong in Victoria, Australia, as a singer and dancer. She left home as a teenager and travelled to England, France, and Spain. She was detained for three months in Spain, for singing on the streets. [1]
In May 2001, Divinyls' "Science Fiction", written by Amphlett and lead guitarist Mark McEntee, was selected by the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) as one of the Top 30 Australian songs of all time.[2] Amphlett and McEntee barely spoke after the band separated in 1996, but resumed contact when they were inducted in 2006 into the ARIA Hall of Fame, eventually announcing a new album and tour. [3] Amphlett died in 2013 of breast cancer and complications from multiple sclerosis.[4] Her contribution to the arts and legacy have been honoured by having a Melbourne central city laneway named "Amphlett Lane" in her honour, complete with a commemorative plaque and two artworks.[5]
Amphlett met Mark McEntee at a concert at the Sydney Opera House in 1980 and they formed Divinyls with Jeremy Paul (Air Supply). After several years performing in Sydney, they recorded several songs for the film Monkey Grip, in which Amphlett also acted.[6]
Divinyls consisted of an ever-changing line-up formed around Amphlett and McEntee, whose relationship was always volatile.[7] Nevertheless, the band released six albums between 1982 and 1996, peaking in 1991 with the success of their single "I Touch Myself", which reached Number 1 in Australia, Number 4 in the USA, Number 10 in the UK. Divinyls did not release another album for six years, breaking up around the time of Underworld's release in Australia. Amphlett lived in New York City with her husband, concentrating on a solo career and writing her autobiography, Pleasure and Pain: My Life.
Amphlett and McEntee barely spoke after the band broke up, but resumed contact when they were inducted in the 2006 ARIA Hall of Fame and eventually announced a new tour and album.[3] They recorded and released a single, "Don't Wanna Do This", and toured Australia, but the proposed reunion album was never made.[8]
Other musical work[edit]
In 1971, she performed with One Ton Gypsy.[9] Amphlett performed Divinyls' and other songs with a 30 piece orchestra for the Australian Rock Symphony in January 2010.[10]
In 2011, she released the single "Summer Song" under the name The Tulips, a band consisting of Amphlett, Charley Drayton and Kraig Jarret Johnson. It was used in the soundtrack for the film The Music Never Stopped.[11]
In 1976, Amphlett played the role of Linda Lips in the R-rated musical Let My People Come. Amphlett made her film debut in Monkey Grip (1982) in a supporting role as Angela, the temperamental lead singer of a rock band.[12] Monkey Grip's author, Helen Garner, claimed that the film's director preferred Amphlett in the role of Jane Clifton as "Clifton was neither good looking enough or a good enough singer to play herself."[citation needed]
In 1988, she starred opposite Russell Crowe in the first Australian production of Willy Russell's stage musical Blood Brothers.[13]
Amphlett played Judy Garland in the original touring production of The Boy from Oz, with Todd McKenney playing the role of Peter Allen. When the highly successful show transferred to Broadway in the year 2000, Garland was played by American performer Isabel Keating and Allen by Hugh Jackman. On its return to Australia as an arena spectacular, Amphlett resumed playing the role.[14]
Personal life[edit]
Amphlett grew up in Geelong and attended Belmont High School. She was a cousin of Australian singer Little Pattie (Patricia Amphlett).[15]
Amphlett and her bandmate Mark McEntee were romantically involved from 1982 to 1993. They met in 1980, and began a relationship two years later when McEntee split up with his wife. Their relationship was highly volatile, being marred by drug and alcohol use, and physical fights. However the band's manager, Vince Lovegrove, later stated that the nature of their "weird" relationship was the "magic of Divinyls".[16]
On 27 July 1999, Amphlett married American drummer Charley Drayton,[17] who played drums on the Divinyls' eponymous album and was the drummer in the reformed group.
In an interview on the Nine Network program A Current Affair, on 7 December 2007, Amphlett revealed that she had multiple sclerosis.[18][19] On 20 October 2010, she announced that she had breast cancer and was being treated in New York where she lived with her husband. She also said that her sister was a breast cancer survivor.[20] On 24 January 2011, she claimed to be free of cancer.[21]
Amphlett died, aged 53, on 21 April 2013 at her home in New York City, US, after a long battle with breast cancer.[4][7][22] Due to the multiple sclerosis that Amphlett concurrently suffered from, she reported that she was unable to receive radiation treatment or chemotherapy as cancer treatment.[23] Following the announcement of Amphlett's death, numerous tributes were received from artists, performers and musicians. Russell Crowe wrote: "RIP Chrissie Amphlett, [she] played my mum in Blood Brothers, 1988."[24]
I Touch Myself Project[edit]
Chrissy's family and friends and Cancer Council NSW launched the breast cancer awareness project "I Touch Myself" in 2014, as a tribute to her. The video features 10 leading female Australian artists: Olivia Newton John, Megan Washington, Sarah McLeod, Katie Noonan, Sarah Blasko, Suze DeMarchi, Deborah Conway, Kate Ceberano, Little Pattie and Connie Mitchell singing Amphlett's song. Cancer Council NSW summarized the message of the campaign as "However, detecting breast cancer early is the most important factor in beating this disease. Through this campaign we are encouraging women to get to know their breasts better, to know what is normal for them and to participate in breast screening if they're in the right age range."[25]

Read Marc Noordeloos's comments on driving the 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan.
Overall, I agree with Sam's points. Unloaded, the Dodge Caravan is very refined, smooth, and quiet cruising down the highway at 80 mpg. I made an airport run to pick up a family of four including all their gear (they're moving to the USA from England). The Caravan handled all with ease. I found the power 3rd row seats a bit slow and unnecessary but the satellite TV sure was nice when I was waiting for the flight to land. Loaded up, the Dodge swayed around more than I would like but it's not bad.
I too find the plastics bad and it bugs me how easy it is to squeal the tires from a stop. It feels like the Dodge has no front grip under acceleration. It will be interesting to see how well our long-term Chrysler version handles the snow of next winter.

Yemen's Saleh calls for early elections
Sep 25, 2011, 11:05 a.m.
The U.N. Security Council urged Yemen on Sunday to allow more access to humanitarian aid. Doctors treating protesters have complained they are running low on medicine and the International Committee of the Red Cross says its workers have been threatened and assaulted.
Anxiety is high in Sanaa as sporadic clashes break out across the city and residents construct roadblocks in the hope of stopping gunmen.
Protesters have grown even more wary of Saleh's intentions after some 17 people were killed on Saturday when government forces attacked their camp in Sanaa, according to witnesses and medics, bringing the death toll in five days of fighting to around 100.
Analysts fear that a slide toward anarchy in the unruly Arabian Peninsula state could further embolden a wing of al Qaeda based there and endanger Western interests in the Gulf and oil shipment routes through the Red Sea.
Saleh's arrival in Sanaa came despite the entreaties of Western and Gulf states for the leader to end his 33 years in power. The European Union's Catherine Ashton condemned the violence and called on Saleh to sign the Gulf-brokered power transition plan.
Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah, who had hosted Saleh during his recovery from the June assassination attempt, also called for the adoption of the Gulf plan.
"We call on all sides to show self restraint and reason to prevent the risk of Yemen sliding into more violence and fighting," King Abdullah said in published remarks. "We believe that the Gulf initiative is still the only way out of the Yemeni crisis."
Saleh, 69, has not yet announced his intentions since coming back to Yemen, but said on Saturday he was "carrying the dove of peace and the olive branch."
"It's funny he says he came with the olive branch. He's the enemy of the people," said Abdulqawy Noaman, a professor at Sanaa University who was shot in the leg.
The U.N. Security Council urged Yemen on Sunday to allow more access to humanitarian aid. Doctors treating protesters have complained they are running low on medicine and the International Committee of the Red Cross says its workers have been threatened and assaulted.
Protesters accuse Saleh, his family and the government of widespread corruption and failing to address crippling poverty and lawlessness in a land where one in two owns a gun.
The demonstrators are backed by powerful forces including the elite leaders of the al-Ahmar clan that heads Yemen's large tribal confederation the Hashed.
The support gives them financial backing for food and equipment, but many say it also makes them pawns of powerful elites who once were part of Saleh's government.

dc in 3rd ch and across 21 dc. Repeat for 4 rows (or as big/long as you want your bow to be)
Attach needle to end of yarn and fold the swatch in half so you know where the middle of your bow will be.
Unfold bow, keeping track of the center. Crease the center into a bow shape.
Wrap yarn around center of bow to hold center in place. Weave in loose end or add a dab of glue in the back.
Add hair clip and a dab of glue. I placed mine onto a cardboard piece until the glue dried, so the insides of the clip didn't stick together. I used super glue, but any industrial glue or hot glue should work.
- Optional step: Add fabric stiffener to your hair bow so that it maintains the bow shape. You can also block your crochet swatch before wrapping it with yarn.

Dog Laughs Out Loud! (Video)Danielle Sullivan
Like most pet owners, my dogs bring me pure, unadulterated joy. After a long day, something as simple as having Django jump up when I walk in the door and not rest until I give her a hug immediately puts me in a good mood. On days when I'm sick or just feeling down, she senses that I am not myself and will jump up and cuddle with me on the couch as if to say she's there.
In every situation, our dogs are our family and incorporated as such. They are present at every family get-together and holiday, and on a daily basis as our family gathers at night once everyone is home, they sit at our feet or next to us on the couch and listen to our stories of what happened that day.
Sometimes Django will listen so intently that I will say "right, Django," and sometimes when we joke around, she seems to get it. She doesn't laugh or do anything outwardly other than flash those knowing eyes, but she gives me a look that signals that she genuinely appreciates the humor.
The dog in the video goes one step (OK, five) beyond that. This hysterical dog laughs out loud. I am not exaggerating in the least. It's a genuine laugh.

Breakaway conservative Episcopal churches are planning to form a new Anglican church in North America.
Leaders of the Common Cause Partnership, a group representing more than 100,000 church members, say they will unveil a new church constitution December 3 at Wheaton Evangelical Free Church in Wheaton, Illinois.
Bishop Robert Duncan, who was ousted by the Episcopal church last month, has been elected to lead the new group.
The new church is expected to be recognized by several Anglican bishops. However, church leaders do not expect the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, to officially accept the church.
Conservatives Want New Church Body
The formation of a new church body was called for by conservative church leaders last June at the Global Anglican Future Conference.
"One conclusion of the Global Anglican Future Conference held in Jerusalem last June was that the time for the recognition of a new Anglican body in North America had arrived," said Duncan. "The public release of our draft constitution is an important concrete step toward the goal of a biblical, missionary and united Anglican Church in North America," he said.
The Most Rev. Maurice Sinclair, former Archbishop of the Southern Cone in South America, says there is natural reluctance to form a rival body alongside what has been a historic part of the Anglican Communion. He believes Anglicans should support the formation of the new body to avoid increasing risks to the well-being of the Communion.
"Revisionists believe that they are acting out of justice love," he wrote in an earlier statement. "Conservatives seek to be loyal to the way of Christ according to the traditional interpretation and plain meaning of Scripture. Surely it is better that both follow conscience rather than demanding a compromise of conscience that neither is willing to make."
Four dioceses have left the liberal Episcopal church over disputes of biblical interpretation and homosexuality.
The tensions began in 2003 when the Episcopal church consecrated its first openly gay bishop.

Supreme Irony? Court Has Own Buffer Zone
The U.S. Supreme Court, which Thursday struck down a Massachusetts law that established a 35-foot buffer around abortion clinics, enjoys its own protest-free zone.
A federal law bars protests from the white marble plaza of the U.S. Supreme Court building, an irony that was not lost on supporters of abortion rights. In a press call, Martha Walz, chief executive officer at Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts, said the court's decision also raises questions about the buffer zone at the Supreme Court.

Court rules, drawn from the law, ban assemblies, processions and displays on court property.
"No person shall engage in a demonstration within the Supreme Court building and grounds," the rules say. "The term 'demonstration' includes demonstrations, picketing, speechmaking, marching, holding vigils or religious services and all other like forms of conduct that involve the communication or expression of views or grievances, engaged in by one or more persons, the conduct of which is reasonably likely to draw a crowd or onlookers."
The regulation does include a tourist exemption: "The term does not include casual use by visitors or tourists that is not reasonably likely to attract a crowd or onlookers."
The high court is actually facing its own legal challenge over free speech and its buffer zone. Harold Hodge Jr., a Maryland man who was arrested for protesting police treatment of minorities, sued and claimed the law violates the Constitution.
A trial court agreed, the government appealed, and oral arguments will be heard in September in U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, said Jeffrey Light, an attorney in Washington who represents Mr. Hodge.
"The plaza part is a public forum and it's an absolute ban on First Amendment," Mr. Light said. "The way it is now, even tourists with messages on their T-shirts could be arrested."
There is one key difference between the Supreme Court buffer zone and the zone the high court struck Thursday today around abortion clinics. The Massachusetts law keeps people off of public sidewalks, while the court's regulation doesn't.
But supporters of abortion rights are still pushing the idea that the Supreme Court may be acting hypocritically. NARAL Pro-Choice America has posted a graphic comparing the 35-long buffer zone that was established in Massachusetts with the much larger Supreme Court zone.
A Supreme Court spokeswoman declined to comment.

A Mother's Mercy?
Carol Carr Allegedly Shot Her Sons to Spare Them a Slow Death by Huntington's Disease
But the family's ordeal is far from over, since Carr, 63, is expected to stand trial on two counts of murder. It is a case that is eliciting strong emotions across the country. Hundreds of supporters have rallied to Carr's side, arguing that while her deed may have been terrible, it stemmed from a mother's unbearable torment. However, many others, including police, see it as a clear case of homicide. "We don't characterize it as a mercy killing," says Armand Chapeau, former chief of police in Griffin, where the shooting occurred. "It's murder, period."
The shootings were only the latest twist in the tragedy that has consumed the Scott clan for decades. Although family matriarch Carrie Scott—James Scott's grandmother—began showing symptoms of Huntington's in the 1950s, it was not until after her death in 1965 that doctors determined she had suffered from the incurable genetic disorder, which attacks the brain and eventually shuts down a person's ability to walk, talk and reason. By then Carol, an Atlanta native who married factory foreman Hoyt Scott in 1958, had already given birth to their three sons. "Her mother-in-law's death was the first she knew of the disease," says Carr's friend Ellene Greene of Huntington's, which an individual has a 50 percent chance of inheriting if a parent has the defective gene. "She once told me that if she'd known, she'd never have had children."
A decade after his mother died, Carol's husband, Hoyt, began showing telltale symptoms, his former good nature evaporating into violent bursts of temper. By 1977, not long after his brother George was diagnosed—and committed suicide—Hoyt's mind was starting to wander. "Sometimes he'd go out to the mailbox 20 times in a row," recalls James Scott, who has experienced early symptoms of the disease and says that all three siblings had filed living wills to prevent heroic measures to prolong their lives. As Hoyt's condition deteriorated, Carol took on his care while working on an assembly line to help make ends meet. (The couple divorced in February 1986, largely so that he would be eligible for government health benefits.)
Hoyt died in January 1995. By then Randy and Andy were clearly showing the disease's ravages. Friends knew it was a crushing burden on Carol, who would later marry and divorce warehouse manager Charles Carr. But she never voiced the slightest bitterness, not even after her third son James was diagnosed. "Carol keeps a good face," says her friend Frances Glover. "I don't think any of us really, really understood what she was going through."
Adding to Carol Carr's distress, James Scott maintains, was Randy and Andy's situation at the SunBridge Care and Rehabilitation center in Griffin, where his brothers had arrived in January in the late stages of Huntington's. According to Scott, he and his mother believed that the brothers were not getting proper attention, not having their bed linens changed, at the facility and complained to officials there. (Although SunBridge has been cited in the past for poor patient care, a surprise inspection four days before the shooting found no problems.) "They were just lying there in their own pee mumbling and looking at the ceiling," contends Scott. "It was miserable."
In retrospect, it's clear the pressure on Carr was building. Her friend Norma Pierce called her the week before the shootings to discuss next year's high school reunion. Carr, she says, broke down in tears. "She said, 'I don't know what to do. I pray every night that God will take my sons.' "As the killing became national news, notes of support streamed in for her, many from people also grappling with the horrors of Huntington's. Nevertheless Carr, who remains in Spaulding County Jail pending a bail hearing, is likely to find that the criminal justice system is not so forgiving. "I know of no law anywhere in the country that would provide any kind of defense for someone in this situation," says Robert Batey, a professor of criminal law at Stetson University College of Law in Gulfport, Fla.
Yet Carr has apparently already gotten one big break: She says she has little recall of the night of the shooting. "I assume that if you do something terrible to your child," says one of her lawyers, Scott Walters Jr., "your mind is gracious enough to let you not remember it."

The Raid Corsica 2014 Cycling Holiday
15th to 22nd June 2014
Enjoy the Corsica stages of the 2013 Tour de France? This Raid Corsica is a 1000km tour of the island in 7 days, starting and finishing in the coastal town of Bastia. Although the mountains are not as high as the Pyrenees or Alps the continuous undulations make this a tough randonnee. 2014 Raid Corsica now available.
Corsica described by many as the "Island of Beauty" or also called "Mountain in the Sea", is ideal for a cycling holiday. From its rugged Mediterranean coastline to its gorges and valleys of the mountains to the interior of the island, Corsica is varied, wild and unspoilt. All this combined with the quiet and testing roads make for a great cycling holiday.
This trip is an ideal way of experiencing what great cycling Corsica has to offer. Organised by the Audax Club Parisian (ACP), the same people who organise the Paris - Brest - Paris randonnee, the route of Raid Corsica starts by following the coastal road around the northern peninsula of Cap Corse. From here you will cross the Agriates Desert and follow the eastern coast to the town of Porto, from where you will climb into the hinterland and re-join the coast 2 days later at the port of Ajaccio. From Ajaccio you will follow the undulating coastal road to Bonifacio, the islands most southerly town, from where, once again you will enter the mountainous interior before descending to the eastern coast and the return leg to Bastia.
Just like the Raid Pyrenean, the Raid Alpine, and the Raid Dolomites, you will be supplied with a carnet which must be stamped at pre-determined points on the route to prove that you have completed the "Raid". These are then returned by us to the organisers and you will receive a medal for your efforts! A van will carry your luggage each day from overnight stop to overnight stop, and where possible act as a backup for serious mechanical breakdowns.
Accommodation has been pre booked at roughly equidistant locations (140km to 160km), on half board basis - Bed, Breakfast, Evening Meal.
Planned itinerary:
On arrival at Bastia airport you will be met by our representative and commence the tour with a 57 km ride onto Cap Corse and the small fishing village of Macinaggio, where we spend the night on half board basis at Hotel U Ricordu.
Sunday 15th of June: Bastia to Macinaggio. Stay at Hotel U Ricordu in Macinaggio. 57.12kms. Ascent 332m
Monday 16th of June: Macinaggio to Calvi. Stay at the Grand Hotel in Calvi. 159.93kms. Ascent 2263m
Tuesday 17th of June: Calvi to Evisa. Stay at Hotel Scoppa Rossa in Evisa. 122.77kms. Ascent 2296m
Wednesday 18th of June: Evisa to Ecicca Suarella (Cauro). Stay at Hotel Acquadolce. 187.5kms. Ascent 3544m
Thursday 19th of June: Cauro to Propriano. Stay at Hotel Roc e Mare. 134.19 kms. Ascent 1893m
Friday 20th of June: Propriano to Zonza. Stay at Hotel Incudine. 128.77kms. Ascent 2078m
Saturday 21st of June: Zonza to Peidicroce. Stay at Hotel Refuge. 136.7km. Ascent 1984m

To the Editor:
—I wish to thank you for forwarding a copy of Dr. Murray Weiner's letter, in which he points to an "error of omission" in our article of Dicumarol [bishydroxycoumarin] therapy in myocardial infarction, that appeared in the September, 1954, issue of the A. M. A. Archives of Internal Medicine.He points to the fact that, while we properly dwelled upon the lack of difference in the number of thromboembolic complications between the control and the treated group, no mention was made of the mortality figures in each group, being 10% in the treated group and 21.3% in the untreated.This is neither an error of omission, thus detracting from the value of Dicumarol, nor of commission, to conceal an unknown but possibly beneficial effect of the drug besides that of lowering the prothrombic time.

This postcard comes to you from hot sunny dry California where I am enjoying a reunion with two old friends. I took the photo last night at the Hollywood Bowl, fulfilling a long-held fantasy of mine to attend a concert there. It is situated smack in the Hollywood hills. You can squint a bit at the famous Hollywood sign in the right-hand corner of the shot. I have known the friends for almost three decades, since we were first thrown together in our tenure-track infancy at the University of Maine, Orono. One of the friends works at CALTECH and so all kinds of delicious California treats have been arranged. I have seen the Hollywood Bowl in so many films (think Rebel Without a Cause, etc.) that experiencing it had a special thrill, embracing the iconic familiarity of it all.
I don't have much time to write this week. We are heading out into the mountains to hike and hope there won't be any forest fires. We three amigos are catching up with tales of academic dramas and achievements, politics, and power. There's no end of topics. I'll be back next week when I return from La La Land.

End ALL foreign aid? That would mean no more assistance for Israel, which receives the bulk of American foreign aid. The percentage America gives in foreign aid of its gross domestic product is much lower than most other developed nations. I am not in favor of eliminating all foreign aid. It is not in the best interests of our country to do that. If it were, we would have at least a small boatload of politicians clamoring for that in their quest for votes. We don't have that as of yet.

For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!
You ever wonder why we haven't gotten a groupie tale about Kendrick Lamar? It's because Kendrick is not about that life, at least according to an interview he did with Miss Erykah Badu for Interview Magazine.
BADU: Okay, let me ask you this: How do you choose chicks from backstage?
LAMAR: How do I choose chicks from backstage?
BADU: Yeah, what is the protocol?
LAMAR: I try not to. [laughs] I'm too scared. Anybody who knows me knows that I'm probably the most scared person when it comes to that because I'm so caught up in the act of sex, of something going crazy, going out of my control. I'm too paranoid.
BADU: [laughs] So you just pass?
LAMAR: I've got to because I've seen a situation where it got totally out of hand, where something seemed so innocent, and now this person has got allegations on them. It spooked me. This was before my career really started, though—before any "Kendrick Lamar." And that right there? It changed my whole perception about certain things. I'll always keep that in the back of my head.
Awww, this makes me kind of like Kendrick Lamar. He seems so innocent. Hope the game doesn't change him.

Muppet Master Jim Henson Has Another Brainchild—a Piggyless Project Starring Fraggles and Gorgs
"Many people think of work as something to avoid," he says. "I think of work as something to seek." After five years and 124 segments, The Muppet Show has retired into internationally syndicated reruns, and a crop of new Muppet species has surfaced. Inhabitants of the new half-hour series Fraggle Rock will debut this week on the Home Box Office cable network and will air in foreign markets later this year. "There is a great need for quality children's programming," says Henson, "and I love to go into fresh places and create a world you can believe in."
The Fraggles, easily identified by their Ping-Pong-ball eyes, pink felt tongues and tufts of feathery hair, are carefree sybarites who live in caves carved out of Fraggle Rock. They share their subterranean universe with two other species: Gorgs—shaggy, seven-foot autocrats who regard themselves as the little realm's rightful rulers—and Doozers—compulsive carpenters, six inches high, who habitually build modular crystal structures that the Fraggles habitually gobble up. (Architecture, the Fraggles reason, is meant to be enjoyed.) The show chronicles the misadventures of five Fraggles—Gobo, Wembley, Red, Mokey and Boober—as they try to live harmoniously among the Gorgs and the Doozers. "We don't want to preach," says Henson. "If it's not entertaining, we better forget about it. But it should have substance and not be a piece of shallow fluff."
Fraggle Rock evolved from three years of collaboration at Henson Associates' London and Manhattan workshops and took shape before the cameras last summer in Toronto. A cavernous studio was transformed into a maze of blowfoam stalagmites and featherweight boulders. While technicians adjusted a tangle of 2,000-watt lights, maneuvered cameras and worked on the audio, a wardrobe girl festooned with safety pins carefully eased a small orange Fraggle hand into a raspberry-pink sleeve. In one corner, Marjory the talking Trash Heap lay silent. At center stage, a young mime stood forlornly in the bottom half of a Gorg suit, waiting to be fitted with his 15-pound head.
Amid the tumult loomed the bearded, pencil-thin Henson, calm as Kermit, wearing a flowered shirt and skinny designer jeans. "When Jim directs, there is an excitement and a delight," says producer Duncan Kenworthy. "He draws the best from everyone. He keeps track of the small things that are so key to all puppet work on television. The audience should never be aware of the difficulty."
The performers, of course, never forget. Though the tiny Doozers are run by remote control and the Gorgs are, like Big Bird, simply performers in body suits, manipulating the Fraggles requires awesome dexterity. Each Muppeteer wears a Fraggle on his arm like an ultralong sleeve, controlling facial expressions with one hand while maneuvering the Muppet's arms by wires with the other. During rehearsals and tapings, the Muppeteers extend the characters over their heads, while keeping track of the action on a small monitor. A complicated group scene can force them into bizarre pretzel shapes, but the Muppets themselves seem to interact with miraculous grace. "The only way the magic works is by hard work," says Henson.
Off-duty Fraggles are hung on pegs next to a sign reading "Please Don't Fondle the Stars." The products of six months' labor by 30 puppet makers, they were cut from patterns in foam and fleece, then sewn, glued, hand-dyed and Scotchgarded. Their appendages snap on and off. Between engagements, Fraggles travel comfortably four to a box.
Their Mississippi-born creator is almost as flexible. His colleagues are continually amazed by his even temper, his unflagging energy and his willingness to take adventurous risks. "The most astonishing thing about him," says Henson Associates Vice-President Michael Frith, "is his total lack of interest in the status quo. You're not supposed to stop something that's successful, like The Muppet Show. You're supposed to milk it for all it's got. But every time he reaches a plateau, he rumbles around and comes up with something new."
Low-key and reserved, except when he skateboards or flies kites with his crew on location, Henson meditates and neither smokes nor eats meat. His most exuberant exclamation is "Neat." "Everything about him is special," says puppet maker Amy Van Gilder. "Sometimes I think he's from another planet." Married for 23 years to his former partner in puppetry, Jane Nebel, he is the affectionate father of five children, 12 to 22. All the while he keeps a shrewd eye on an expanding business empire. Included therein are his filmmaking enterprises, like the current The Dark Crystal, TV specials, music and publishing ventures, and a tightly controlled licensing operation.
Fantasy is Henson's business, but he is not the type to lose touch with reality. "I've never thought of the Muppets as human," he muses. "They are certainly real within the world they are a part of, but when you finish a taping, you throw them in a box." Still, they command a certain respect. On the workshop door of Henson Associates' Manhattan headquarters is tacked a bold-lettered sign: "Please do not annoy, torment, pester, plague, molest, worry, badger, harry, harass, heckle, persecute, irk, bully, rag, vex, disquiet, grate, beset, bother, tease, nettle, tantalize or ruffle: THE MUPPETS." If you do, you'll have to deal with Miss Piggy.

Imagine Vitali Klitschko retiring now and....coming back in 6 years !!
I imagined that lots of times already: Vitali might retire soon. Let's just imagine he would retire next month or in 2013. He is now 41 years old and he already was retired for a few years. I can see him come back in a few years. Maybe both Klitschkos retire in 2013 and suddenly an american heavyweight will dominate again and we got another Tyson. And the american boxing world would say "yeah, during the Klitschko era the competition was garbage but now the heavyweight division is stronger than ever and our new (american) champion (whatever his name is) is fighting tough competition and proving himself against the best."
And then imagine the years pass and the new american champ already has 20 title defences and pple say he is the best ever. And suddenly 6 years have passed and Vitali Klitschko decides to make another comeback. And beats the living hell out of the american champion and beats George Foreman's record as oldest Heavyweight Champion ever. Imagine. I can see it. I can see that happening in the future.
And americans will say about then 47 year old Klitschko: "Vitali is a coward, he waited until our champion was past his prime, only then did he fight him".

Machining cells are sometimes impractical for small- to mid-sized shops that run a variety of jobs in small batches. Those businesses are often forced to divide each job into several independent operations that might require multiple machines and multiple setups. In some cases, an operator might simply stand idle waiting for a machine to complete each cycle, which increases per-piece labor costs. Shops facing these situations can likely benefit from a portable second-op machine like this one from Southwestern Industries. It's said to be the first CNC machine tool designed specifically for second-op work.

text: class A{ void m(){ System.out.println("A::m"); } } class B extends A{ void k(){ System.out.println("B::k"); } } class Test{ public static void main(String[] args){ A a= new B(); a.m(); } }Now, try to rename A::m to k. The tool doesn't notice that this will break your code. Hey, if it fails on the smallest example I could come up with I would not trust it on projects larger than 20 lines. (I tried other examples too - like I said - fails on almost all not-totally-trivial ones) --AdamKiezun? I just tried the above example in jFactor 1.0.1 and it worked for me. (i.e. it renamed the call in the main() method to k().) Perhaps they fixed it. (1.0.1 was released early February). --StuCharlton Please read the example again - renaming the call in the main() method to k() _does not fix anything_. Before the 'refactoring' you see "A::m" printed out and after you see "B::k". And, btw, there's no undo. So, basically there's no good way (unless you resort to VCM) to recover to your previous state (because guess what? renaming k to m will rename it in both types.) It's trivial to see it in a 15 line program - imagine using this on a system of 1000+ classes and code that you don't know. Wasn't refactoring supposed to help maintain code? (Sure, if you have a full test suite, then you're good - it'll catch all these little things for you. But I'd still expect a little more support from a refactoring tool.) --AdamKiezun? Try reporting this bug to mailto:email@example.com I have found the Instantiations folks to be very responsive. Hold on a minute. Is this a bug or not? If you rename the method m in class A to k, and class B overrides k, then you should expect the output to be "B::k", because you've instantiated an instance of B -- you just happen to be referring to it as an A. Is this not how Java is supposed to behave? -- StevenNewton It is a bug - my program behaves differently before and after the 'refactoring'. Just a reminder: "a refactoring is a behavior-preserving transformation of source code". The tool should disallow the change or at least warn you that the new behavior might be different. --AdamKiezun? Okay, but "behavior anomalies" in terms of inheritance is defined by a contract, and assuming you design your classes with LiskovSubstitutionPrinciple, this should not "break" anything. Yes, it places a trust in the programmer, so a warning may be appropriate. Disallowing this refactoring is a bit too drastic. Does Martin's book elaborate on something like this (renaming a method in a super)? --StuCharlton Martin's book ignores the case when a class or one of its subclasses understands the new message. Both BillOpdyke's and DonRoberts' theses include this precondition. And, btw, it's handled properly in RefactoryBrowser. The point I was trying to make is that a refactoring tool should be reliable enough for me to be able to press 'finish' on the first page of the wizard and be 99% sure it'll do the right thing for me (and will warn me if it can't). The right thing being: 'not change the behavior of the program' - totally regardless of the program's using good design, naming conventions and such. --AdamKiezun? The approach we take with jFactor is to (as stated above) "place trust in the programmer" and allow things that may change the behavior of the program if so chosen by the programmer. That said, jFactor should and does in many cases warn the programmer when the program's behavior will be changed. This is one case we overlooked and it is now corrected in the latest beta. We are very responsive to suggestions and comments, so by all means, if you encounter a situation that you think should behave differently, then let us know and we will immediately correct the situation. Luckily, some kind soul notified us of this situation mentioned here and we fixed it as soon as we heard about it. -- DanRubel? (mailto:email@example.com)

Thank heaven for Hayes High.
The Hayes Pacesetter Marching Band may not step as lively as some other bands in the area, but it won a few hearts Monday. The Pacesetters may not blow as loudly or dress in as much finery as some of their competitors, but they did something Monday no other Birmingham band bothered to do.
They showed up to play at the National Veterans Day Parade in downtown Birmingham. They showed up to march and to play with joy. Not just for the people who lined the streets, but for the veterans they came to honor.
The vaunted and well-traveled Homewood High Patriot Band? Absent.
Just as there were no tanks or heavy artillery at the parade still billed as the nation's oldest and largest, there was no Hoover Buc band. There was no band from Mountain Brook or Carver or anywhere but Hayes.
Thank heaven for Hayes.
Oh, thank heaven for the Alabama School for the Blind band as well. They may be blind, but they found their way into Birmingham's parade. They didn't march, but played from the back of a truck. That's more than you can say for Huffman or Clay-Chalkville or Miles College.
What does it say about Birmingham, that we let the nation's oldest Veterans Day parade lose the beat? Only that we seem to be going through the motions, more from duty than real joy and honor.
Oh, the horses were fun and the old men in World War II uniforms touching, but something was missing Monday.
Maybe the music.
When a man on horseback yelled "God bless America" at Fifth Avenue and 19th Street North, he got no reply from the listless crowd. Cars carrying Battle of the Bulge vets fared only a little better.
And crowds were bigger in past years, when bands marched the streets and trumpeted excitement to onlookers. This year, the loudest music came from a guy in a puppet cart who was temporarily tossed from the parade.
What happened to the raucous if Muppet-like Puppetone Rocker, who was pulled over by police after being cut off by a car carrying a veteran of the year? He got a time out. Cops would only say he ticked off the wrong guy, a veteran who yelled "Get out of my parade" as he passed.
Who doesn't love a parade? That guy, it seems.
Don't get me wrong. Birmingham's veterans parade is not Mardi Gras, nor should it be. But it should be fun.
And there were festive moments Monday. The Paine Intermediate Fifth Grade Juggling team was on the ball. The Navy sign that read "Victory in Iraq, Victory in Afghanistan, Victory at Notre Dame" was a winner. And the bus near the end - the St. Martins in the Pines Retirement Center bus - was a fitting conclusion.
But frankly, our veterans deserve more. They deserve trumpets and tubas and drums and crashing cymbals and all the noise youth can make.
Next year we need more marchers - more bands to honor our bands of brothers. And sisters.

FishOn! Northwestern Pennsylvania fishing report, June 28
Perch fishing in Lake Erie, in general, has been good. Boats launching out of North East Marina have been hitting perch off Freeport at a depth of about 44 feet. Perch off Twenty Mile Creek are bigger, but fishing has not been as fast. Get out into 50 feet to 60 feet of water if you launch from Shades Beach, though you might do well to stop and try shallower, at 30 feet to 39 feet. If you launch at Erie or from Presque Isle, try 45 feet to 55 feet off the Lighthouse.
To the west, perch have been hitting off Trout Run in depths of 37 feet to 44 feet.
On the west side of Erie, big walleye are in the Second Trench. Some boats are reporting good catches in depths ranging from 50 feet to 70 feet. Run lures down 20 feet to 40 feet. From Godfrey Run to Elk Creek, walleye have been hitting in the range of 35 feet to 40 feet; however, a lot of junk fish are mixed with these walleye. Fish from 50 feet to 65 feet from the Lighthouse to the Point. Boats launching at North East Marina are trolling for walleye from the New York border to the marina in depths of 41 feet to 63 feet.
Not many anglers are chasing smallmouth bass, but those who still are have been doing quite well from Shades Beach to the W's using crayfish and lures that mimic crayfish.
Fishing in Presque Isle Bay has been slower this week. Bluegill have been hitting in Thompson Bay and Marina Lake. Some crappie have been caught at Liberty Park, and from the South Pier. Fish there early in the morning.
Late evening is the time to fish for crappie at Eaton Reservoir. Most have been 8 inches to 10 inches, but a few are bigger.
Anglers at Lake Pleasant have been catching bluegill and crappie.
Try the Orchard area or the stumps for walleye at Pymatuning Lake. Use nightcrawlers. Crappie are hitting at the stumps and along the causeway. The lake is loaded with channel catfish.
Now is the time to hit Chautauqua Lake if you want to catch muskie. According to Skip at Hogan's Hut, muskie are hot now. Productive lures have been the Salmo Natural Perch and jerk baits. Trolling is also accounting for some muskie. Use bright colors. Crappie are still hitting white jigs fished deep in the weeds. For largemouth bass try tube jigs in the weeds, and white spinnerbaits along weed edges. For walleye troll tight to weed lines with copper nightcrawler harnesses, or if you would rather not troll use nightcrawlers or leeches in the same areas.
Crappie, bluegill and largemouth bass have been cooperating nicely at Edinboro Lake, along the Route 99 side and by the cemetery.

Jose Mourinho is hardly a man who will come off second in a war of words.
After all, here is a man who refers to himself as the "Special One." You can picture him in an argument, forever having the last word—and hey, probably the last laugh while he's at it.
People should just ask his long list of victims; Martin O'Neill, Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, Rafael Benitez, Claudio Ranieri, and Pietro Lo Monaco—he seems to enjoy the odd bout of verbal jousting that man.
Yet this season, Mourinho has had plenty of bouts of verbal jousting, except it has been with some of the players at his own club.
The path to success doesn't always run smooth, and for Mourinho thus far things haven't always been rosy during his time in Italy. For a man who has anointed himself the "Special One", there will always be a certain amount of pressure—it comes with the nickname.
But having to takeover from one of Italy's most successful managers, Roberto Mancini (who had just won the title three years in a row), on the proviso that he could take the club to a trophy it last won some 44 years ago—the European Cup—brings its own pressure.
Furthermore, unlike his predecessor Mourinho is facing increasing competition, in the form of a rejuvinated AC Milan and Juventus—teams who have endured a fallow couple of years domestically, yet now appear to be presenting Inter Milan with a challenge for the title.
Just to make matters worse for Mourinho, he probably inherited a squad as packed with egotistical names and faces as he ever had to deal with at Chelsea or Porto—Patrick Vieira, Marco Materazzi etc., but it is particularly problematic strikers that have caused Mourinho all manner of issues this season.
Interestingly, one of these has not been Zlatan Ibrahimovic, a player whom Mourinho has taken under his wing, and described as "the best in the world."
Whether you believe those sentiments or not, Mourinho has arguably coaxed the best out of Ibrahimovic, and he leads Inter's goal-scoring charts with 13 goals this season.
For his part, "Ibra" has been more than effusive in his praise of Mourinho.
However, this is where Mourinho suffers a problem. As he continues to invest such faith in Ibrahimovic, he runs the risk of alienating two of the other strikers, who like Ibrahimovic need to be nurtured and loved—Adriano and Mario Balotelli.
Adriano, though he has recently been playing for Inter, endures an up and down relationship with Mourinho and the club. Adriano as a player is a phenomenal talent, a mix of speed, power, and strength that is rarely matched in world football.
However, mentally he has struggled to retain his hunger with football, and depression and alcoholism have plagued his career. He was welcomed back into the Inter Milan fold this season, but following injury, poor form, and rumours of him turning up for training drunk, he was linked with a move away from the club again, with Tottenham and Chelsea mooted.
Mario Balotelli, on the other hand, is a very different proposition. A shining star who emerged last season as a 17-year-old phenomenon, the striker quickly earned the nickname "Super Mario."
Balotelli is very much in the Didier Drogba mould, a strong, tall (6ft plus) and quick striker, who boasts calm composure in front of goal and indeed is very good at set pieces. Yet this season, as he has failed to push into the Inter Milan first team, Balotelli has proved to be anything but "Super Mario."
He has frequently demanded a move away, has been poor in training—Mourinho even claimed he trained at 25 percent, and had a negative attitude in training. Finally, this week "Super Mario" refused to be in the Inter squad for the match against Catania, as he hopes to force a move away from Inter.
Now, egos amongst footballers are not bad things, in fact often they come in handy. You only have to see Cristiano Ronaldo's histrionics last night (chest-pumping and glaring at the crowd) to see footballing ego at work. However it is when player's ego's escalate out of control that it can pose problems for managers—even ones as talented as Mourinho.
Yet the problem for Mourinho is that, for all the problems these two pose him he would simply not want to be parted from them. In the case of Adriano, here is a player who at his peak is practically untouchable, while Balotelli potentially could be one of the finest strikers in Europe.
So the danger for Mourinho is that, if he were to sell them, and were any manager able to coax the best out of them (like Mourinho has done with Ibrahimovic), then they would be an asset to any side in the world, and ultimately would make Mourinho's decisions to sell either of them appear foolish.
Therefore for Mourinho defeat, as always, is not an option. He must battle through the words, the arguments, the tantrums, the depression, in the hope that he can manage to coax the best out of these two, potentially fantastic strikers.
That might sound like a battle for anyone, but if anyone can manage it, then surely it is the "Special One."

New Approaches to Comparative History
in Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe Europe
Second Annual Conference, Comparative History Project, History Department, Central European University,
Sponsored by the Higher Education Support Program
17-19 April, 2008, Centre for Advanced Study Sofia, Bulgaria
Organized by the History Department and Pasts, Inc. Center for Historical Studies, CEU, in collaboration with East-Central Europe/L'Europe du Centre Est. Eine wissenschaftliche Zeitschrift and the Centre for Advanced Study Sofia
During the last two decades, various attempts were made in historiography to go "beyond the national" and to bridge the gap between various national historical narratives. New analytical frameworks have been elaborated for approaching regional or European history from cross-national or transnational perspectives, such as histoire croisée, "shared" or "entangled history" and the "history of transfers," attempting to critically re-evaluate comparative history and to shift the emphasis on multiple levels of connectedness, through interdisciplinary lenses.
In post-Communist Europe, trans-national comparative history is a scholarly, civic, and even political "urgency:" topics such as historical regions, empires and their legacies, contested borders and borderlands, to name but a few, need to be studied from a pan-European integrated perspective, approaching innovatively the abundant empirical material.
In order to address some of these issues, the History Department at CEU (http://www.hist.ceu.hu/) has initiated the three-year CEU-OSI Comparative History Project. The project seeks to place the teaching of, and research in, comparative history and the newly emerging trans-national approaches firmly on the agenda and into the curriculum, by building a stream/grouping of courses within a set of target departments in Central, Southeastern, and Eastern Europe. It aims at concomitantly transferring modern approaches into academic teaching in these regions, while at the same time introducing local research traditions into European academic circulation.
The Comparative History Project was launched by a major international conference in Budapest, 9-11 November 2006, entitled "The State of the Art in Comparative History". The focus of the conference was to "map" comparative history research in/on Europe (mainly taking German, French, and British examples) - from its various regions to its diverse 'holistic' variable geometries -, and to examine the methodological-theoretical underpinnings of empirical work.
In continuation of the agenda set at the first conference, the second annual conference aims at exploring the challenges new research approaches in comparative history have to meet in our region. To this end, applications are invited for papers that re-conceptualize the modern and early modern history of Central, Southeastern and Eastern Europe by employing relational and transnational approaches, as part of a more general effort to re-write continental history from an integrated perspective. Proposals are also expected to address the theoretical implications of comparative research for re-thinking regional history. By reconsidering the historical role of empires, regions, international influences and transfers, they should attempt to transcend the prevailing narrow national-based historiographical perspective and integrate Central, Southeastern and Eastern Europe into the major themes and trends affecting European history as a whole. Participants will have the opportunity to be introduced to and integrated into the research projects launched by Pasts, Inc. Center for Historical Studies (www.pasts.ceu.hu), the academic journal East-Central Europe/L'Europe du Centre Est. Eine wissenschaftliche Zeitschrift (www.ece.ceu.hu), and the Centre for Advanced Study Sofia (www.cas.bg).
Proposed papers should fall into the following thematic categories:
Theories and methodologies of comparative and transnational history and their application in Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe
Challenges to re-writing national histories after 1989
Regional perspectives in the history of early modern and modern political thought and intellectual currents: Humanism, Baroque, Romanticisms, Modernisms, etc.
Reassessing center-periphery relations in a longue durée perspective
Cultural transfer and imperial legacies
Projects and processes of modernization: similarities, differences and "Sonderweg" theories
Comparing dictatorships in Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe
Travel, accommodation, catering and visa costs for selected candidates from non-EU countries, as well as from Romania and Bulgaria, will be fully covered by the organizers. Participants who are citizens of other countries are kindly asked to cover their travel expenses, and they will be assisted in finding appropriate accommodation at modest prices.
Péter Apor, Constantin Iordachi, Balázs Trencsényi
Application packages have to include a 500 words resume and a CV of the applicant and must reach the organizers by 31 January 2008.
Applications and inquiries should be addressed to Dr Péter Apor,
Central European University, Nádor u. 11. 1050, Budapest, Hungary

This may have to do with the exact CD drive you are using. The OSR507
MP3 multisession support relies on relatively new drive capabilities.
Note, only _relatively_ new -- any drive made since 1999 or 2000 or so
should be fine.
The MP3 release notes (http://wdb1.sco.com/kb/showta?taid=125771) give
some additional help. Find the section on "Multisession support:
Start by running `cdrecord -scanbus`; show us the output. (You can omit
all the lines that show no device present at IDs 2-7 or whatever they
are on your system.)
Then, with your multisession disc in the drive, run `cdrecord -toc`.
You might have to supply "dev=1,0,0" or something like that as well --
whatever you use with other `cdrecord` invocations. Show us that output
as well. Do you see a list of sessions? A multisession disc should
show at least three "track" items (two for at least 2 sessions, plus the
leadout track "track:lout").
Let us suppose that `cdrecord -toc` did produce useful output similar to
what's shown in the release notes:
track: 1 lba: 0 ( 0) 00:02:00 adr: 1 control: 4 mode: 1
track: 2 lba: 20235 ( 80940) 04:31:60 adr: 1 control: 4 mode: 1
track: 3 lba: 39262 (157048) 08:45:37 adr: 1 control: 4 mode: 1
track:lout lba: 53507 (214028) 11:55:32 adr: 1 control: 4 mode: -1
This is a 3-session disc. With the updated mount(ADM) command from MP3,
you ought to be able to mount any of these three sessions. Two of them
are easily accessible by session number:
mount -o session=1 # gets session #1
mount -o session=3 # gets session #3
There is a limitation of the mount(ADM) command in MP3: you can only
explicitly access the oldest and newest session by session number.
Trying to do:
mount -o session=2 # try to get session #2
would fail here since it is neither the oldest nor the newest.
The default is supposed to mount the newest session:
mount # gets session #3
mount -o session=0 # gets session #3; "0" means "newest" here
but that apparently isn't working for you.
Finally, the most explicit way to mount a session -- and which should
work for all sessions -- is to give the starting sector number:
mount -o sector=0 # gets session #1
mount -o sector=20235 # gets session #2
mount -o sector=39262 # gets session #3
There's a complicating factor. I'm not sure, but I think the output of
`cdrecord -toc` comes from the same drive command as the kernel uses to
find the first and last sessions. Failure to mount the newest session
is fallback behavior if the kernel can't get that table. That suggests
that you won't get useful output from `cdrecord -toc` either.
If I'm right, you would need to take the disc to a different machine and
get its session offsets (`cdrecord -toc` under any *ix or Windows; or
you can get it out of all sorts of other utilities on Windows).
Or you could put in a different drive.
Exactly what is the drive (brand & model)? If SCSI, what brand and
model of HBA?

Bemidji State University Student Senate strives to provide a safe, healthy environment for students, faculty, staff and visitors. The U.S. Surgeon General has published findings that tobacco use in any form active and/or passive, is a significant health hazard. In addition, environmental tobacco smoke has been classified as a Class A carcinogen, and that there is no safe level of exposure.
Reducing the amount of second-hand smoke on our campus will improve our community health. It also demonstrates our community support for individuals who are extremely sensitive to second-hand smoke for health reasons (i.e. asthma, respiratory problems). Is is anticipated that many campus community members will be pleased when second-hand smoke is moved away from common areas.
No, a tobacco free campus policy is not a violation of an individual's civil rights. There is no state or federal law that provides a "right" to smoke or use tobacco. In addition, the University has the authority to govern and regulate the use of its facilities and properties.
No, the policy governs use of tobacco products, not possession of tobacco products.
Efforts will be made to ensure that faculty, staff and students are aware of the policy. Responsibility for complying with the policy rest first and foremost with the individual. Individuals who violate the policy will be referred to the appropriate campus administrative unit for disciplinary action.
Students are encouraged to contact the Student Center for Health and Counseling. Faculty and staff are encouraged to contact their health care provider(s) for tobacco cessation options, or to visit quitplan.com for additional information. Additional resources may be found on the Supporting Documents page of this Tobacco Free BSU site.
Bemidji State University does not have jurisdiction over the use of city owned streets, sidewalks and right-of-ways in regard to tobacco use or related activities. Please note, however, that many streets and sidewalks adjacent to the campus are university property. To avoid confusion, those wishing to use tobacco should do so on a site that is clearly not university property. It is also really important to respectful of the owners of that non-university property.
Yes, the policy is consistent with Minnesota State Law that permits ceremonial tobacco use in traditional Native American spiritual or cultural ceremonies held on campus. Those events need to be approved through appropriate campus processes.
Actually, the Bemidji State University residence halls have been smoke free since Beltrami County passed the Smoke Free Ordinance for Indoor Public Places and Places of Work in 2007. The revised tobacco free policy will apply to residents of University residence halls.
According to the results of the 2010 College Student Health Survey, 24.2% of students reported that they use tobacco. The daily use rate is 9.5%. More information about the results from the survey are available by clicking here.
Though students living on campus may find it more difficult and inconvenient to adhere to the tobacco policy, allowing tobacco use outside of the residence halls on university property would not align with BSU's goal of creating a healthy, clean and safe environment for the campus community.
In fact, the current smoking policy bans smoking within fifteen feet of buildings, and the policy has not been successful. Furthermore, offering designated smoking areas does not support BSU's goal of creating a healthy, clean and safe environment for everyone.
Establishing a comprehensive policy that includes all forms of tobacco is more equitable, easier to enforce, and has better health outcomes. The policy consistently addresses health issues, because there is no safe form of tobacco. The makers of smokeless tobacco would have people believe that their products are "safer" than cigarettes and can even be used as an aid in quitting smoking. The fact is that chewing tobacco and snuff contain over 28 cancer-causing agents.
In addition, smokeless tobacco use often creates unwanted and sometimes hazardous waste and byproducts that can be spilled both outdoors and indoors. These spills create more cleanup work for campus maintenance staff and harm the environment.
There is no evidence that e-cigarette vapor is safe to inhale. Initial studies indicate that there are toxins and pollutants in the emissions of e-cigarette and they may pose safety risks to others. E-cigarette also imposes an enforcement issue because it is difficult to distinguish them from real cigarettes.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences has rescinded its Oscar nomination for a song in the faith-based film, "Alone But Not Alone."
Christian author and speaker Joni Eareckson Tada performs the song, named the same as the movie title.
Now the Academy is doing an about-face, saying composer Bruce Broughton used his influence as a former Academy governor to get the nomination.
Broughton said all he did was send an email asking others to consider the song.
"I didn't ask anybody to vote for it. I didn't do any campaigning for the film. I didn't do anything I didn't read in the rules, frankly," Broughton said.
The Academy president said sending an email crossed the line because it gives the appearance of an unfair advantage. Broughton said that's ridiculous.
"If I learned how to game the system, I probably would have had a nomination before this," he said. "The last nomination I had was 30 years ago."
Other members of the Academy, including well-known film composer Hans Zimmer, called the ruling unfair.
