When Fanny Declerq, a human rights lawyer and UN Youth Volunteer serving in Bolivia, decided to undertake her assignment with the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), she did so because she wanted to bring her human rights knowledge into practice in the South American context. After numerous solo missions throughout indigenous territories, where she conducted courses on indigenous peoples' rights, and monitored human rights violations for over 4,000 people, she was able to make a meaningful contribution to OHCHR's mission to better inform indigenous people of their rights. She also gained a deeper understanding of indigenous issues, improved her Spanish, and gained countless professional skills.
Undertaking 20 missions in 30 days, like Ms. Declerq did during her outreach to indigenous communities, takes a lot of energy. This energy, along with creativity, enthusiasm and fresh technical skills is what UN Youth Volunteers bring to the work of United Nations (UN) host agencies. UN Volunteers are at the front-lines of the UN's work in the field, and young people are especially well suited to this task.
This is no doubt one of the reasons that in his 2012 Five-Year Action Agenda, the Secretary-General of the United Nations called on UNV to create a youth volunteer programme, and why Member States passed a resolution calling on all stakeholders and UN agencies to support youth volunteerism.
UNV interpreted the Secretary-General's call in the broadest sense, pledging not only to engage young people as volunteers, but to facilitate the engagement of youth in global peace and sustainable human development through volunteerism, bringing the voice of youth into the development discourse and helping young people to realize their full social, economic and human potential.
The UN Youth Volunteers Programme is being launched at a critical time: more than 1.2 billion young people around the world are ready and willing to provide leadership and inspiration in global peace and development, yet they face vulnerabilities and challenges. The UN Youth Volunteers Programme is the only one in the world that provides volunteering opportunities with the United Nations, and it represents a tremendous opportunity to reinvigorate the on-the-ground work of UN agencies around the world while building the skills and experience of the leaders of tomorrow and today.
New from UNV Bangladesh, "The world we want - Bangladeshi youth voices on a post-2015 world"
18 February 2014
Dhaka, Bangladesh: The publication "The World We Want - Bangladeshi Youth Voices on a post-2015 World" captures results from three national youth consultations that UNV Bangladesh and local volunteer groups organized in Jessore, Chittagong and Dhaka. By far, equality emerged as the main development priority for the youth participants who emphasized the need for non-discrimination, whether by gender, sexual orientation, colour, caste, class, religion or abilities.

Best Cat Toys Cat Toys: Treat Balls Dangerous Dog Toys Durable Dog Toys Organic Pet Toys and Supplies Pet Toys for Multiple Dogs Rubber Chew Toys Stuffed Pet Toys
The best cat toys are ones your cat can enjoy more than once or twice. Some of the most interactive choices are toys with feathers or fur; these allow your cats to engage in play that simulates their hunt for prey in the wild. Even for outdoor cats this activity maintains vital muscles and coordination, helping them stay more active, alert and happy.
Avoid toys that can shred, tear or can be easily swallowed. Small toys or objects (such as a squeaker inside a mouse or bells) can be ingested by your cat, causing choking and intestinal obstruction.
Even if the toy looks like a great bargain, avoid it if it has pieces that can detach. The best cat toys don't have to be expensive; sometimes cats get the very best play out of a simple rolled-up ball of paper or a wine cork!
Are you worried that your cat isn't getting enough stimulation and exercise while you're at work all day? The perfect cat toys in this situation are treat balls: toys that you can fill up with your cat's favorite treats. Just fill up the ball, place it where your cat will find it, and let the fun begin. Look for a cat treat ball that is dishwasher safe for the easiest cleanup.
There's even a cat treat ball that allows you to record your voice. When your cat plays with the ball the familiar sound of your voice is there to comfort him. The ball dispenses treats periodically as it rolls, so your cat has to play to continue enjoying treats. It's a great way to know that your cat is getting some play time even when you have to be away from home. Be careful; excessive treats lead to obesity in pets.
Your dog loves to play, and play is a great form of exercise. Just be careful what kind of toys you choose for him because not all of them are safe. For example, bones and sticks might seem like the perfect fetch toy, but they can splinter and break, leaving sharp edges that can injure your dog or be ingested and cause internal damage.
Other examples of what to avoid include:
If your dog is extra tough on toys, look for dog toys that are guaranteed not to break. There is a plethora of such toys on the market, and many of them bend, float on water and are guaranteed not to harm your dog. Durable dog toys last longer so your dog will get more use out of them.
Keep in mind that most cheap dog toys aren't resilient, so you'll end up buying more of them in the long run. Invest in durable dog toys, which might be more expensive up front but will last far longer.
Organic pet toys and supplies are a growing trend in the pet market. Several manufacturers have created organic and recycled products from bedding to organic food and treats. These sustainable goods help save vital resources on the planet, but they have another benefit. Because they are created out of organic materials, they are often safer than your average toy for your pet to enjoy.
Several of these pet toys and supplies are created from recycled materials like plastic or rubber, while others are made out of sustainable resources such as hemp. They are still tough enough to stand up to rough play but they won't harm your pet or the environment.
Dog toys and cat toys may have similar designs in some cases, but since dogs are pack animals their toy needs are more complex. There are many schools of thought on sharing toys in a multiple dog household, but your best bet is trial and error unless you've already seen some evidence of territorial behavior associated with dog pet toys. If you are introducing a new dog into the pack, or starting a two-dog home for the first time, try keeping the new dog's toys separate until the dominant dog has asserted itself and the situation is stable.
When you feel the time is right to try sharing, try introducing some new, cheap dog toys and see what happens. You may see some dog toy sharing even before you have a chance to buy new dog toys, but chances are this won't happen until the pecking order is sorted out. Never try to force dogs to share when they don't want to, sometimes the best policy is simply to buy two of everything.
Be sure to avoid soft rubber chew toys with rubber nubs or bumps on the surface. These small pieces of rubber are very easily broken off of the toy and swallowed. A better choice in dog chew toys are natural toys made of safe, organic materials, or hard rubber or nylon toys that won't break or shred. However, be aware that even a hard chew toy can break under constant chewing.
NOTE: If your dog chews off a piece of a hard chew toy or starts vomiting after playing with one, take him to the veterinarian immediately.
Never give your pets a stuffed toy that wasn't created especially for animals. The toy could be adorned with plastic eyes, decorations and other accouterments that your pet might swallow.
Many stuffed toys are filled with materials that could be toxic to your dog if the toy breaks open and he eats the stuffing. Keep in mind that toys made for children won't stand up to the type of rough play your dog can put a toy through, so even if they are non-toxic, sooner or later you'll end up with a mess of filler all over your house or yard. Stuffed pet toys are created especially for animals; they are more durable and animal-appropriate.
Make sure the stuffing in the pet toys you buy is non-toxic and that the seams and details are strong and secured. If you have any doubts about stuffed pet toys, ask your vet or look for another toy that may be more suitable for your particular pet.

All of Meby Michael Posner Anne Murray
In this revealing autobiography, Canada's first lady of song, for the first time, tells the whole story of her astonishing 40-year career in show biz. It is a candid retrospective of the extraordinary success achieved, and the prices that had to be paid."After 'Snowbird' hit, I was swept up like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, and catapulted into a strange new universe ... If I thought for a moment that I was really in control of events, I was deluded." Anne Murray. An unflinching self-portrait of Canada's first great female recording artist, All of Me documents the life of Anne Murray, from her humble origins in the tragedy-plagued coal-mining town of Springhill, Nova Scotia, to her arrival on the world stage. Anne recounts her story: the battles with her record companies over singles and albums; the struggle with drug- and alcohol-ridden band members; the terrible guilt and loneliness of being away from her two young children; her divorce from the man who helped launch her career, Bill Langstroth; and the deaths of two of her closest confidantes. The result is a must-read autobiography by Canada's beloved songbird.

Orchard Park wins in OT
A defensive battle in regulation opened up in overtime and Orchard Park capitalized on its chance to earn a 1-0 win over Frontier in ECIC I boys soccer. After an Orchard Park player was taken down in the box, the Quakers were awarded a penalty kick. Connor Saeli buried his chance to give the Quakers the win.
Brian Arcari recorded two saves in the overtime and made a key stop earlier in the game for the shutout.
The Quakers improved to 9-4-2 overall and 7-3-1 in the league.
"Winning an overtime game this late in the season is good going into the playoffs knowing all the games will be close," OP coach Josh Dannecker said. "I think this is a good character building opportunity for us -- a chance to be in a tight game with a lot of pressure. That will help us in the playoffs."
Wilson clinches N-O title
Wilson clinched its first Niagara-Orleans League girls soccer title since 2009 with a 2-1 double overtime win over Newfane (11-3). The Panthers took a 1-0 lead in the first minute of play but Holly Rudolph scored with 4:38 left in regulation. Rudolph then scored with 1:42 left in the second overtime to give Wilson (12-1-1) the win.
Elliott lifts Will East
A tip-in by Lauren Elliott 10 minutes into the second half capped a total team effort for Williamsville East in a 1-0 win over Lancaster in ECIC field hockey.
"It was an up and down game both ways and nobody really controlled the game," Flames coach Erin Rajzcak said. "I thought our midfielders were on top of their game. They stopped every ball and worked with the goalies. They were sending the ball to our forwards and connecting with them better than any other time this year. It was a total team effort."
Jacquie Dellaneve and Theresa Meoski combined for the shutout as the Flames improved to 9-4-1 with regular season games left against Iroquois and Williamsville South.

On the Role and Regulation of Proxy Advisors

Michigan Law Review First Impressions, Vol. 109, p. 62, 2010
Ohio State Public Law Working Paper No. 142
The role of proxy advisors has increasing relevance because the Securities and Exchange Commission has recently undertaken a review of the mechanisms of proxy voting - less gracefully but perhaps aptly described as "proxy plumbing" - and the role of proxy advisors in that process. This short essay discusses the role of proxy advisors and their regulation. In particular, the essay addresses why institutional investors purchase corporate governance ratings and advice despite the fact that the advice appears to be of poor quality. The essay then discusses potential regulation of proxy advisors by the Securities & Exchange Commission.

The focus of the laboratory is on investigating the central (CNS) mechanisms that lead to diminished appetite (anorexia) in chronic disease states. Anorexia and weight loss are major complications of many chronic diseases including cancer, AIDS, adrenal insufficiency and inflammatory disorders, that lead to an excess morbidity and mortality. The hypothalamic neuropeptides that control appetite are being examined in a variety of rodent models of pathologic anorexia, with particular emphasis on treatments that block melanocortin and cytokine signaling. The long-term goals are to identify targets that may lead to improved treatment of anorexia and of obesity.

More defendants entered guilty pleas in connection with the Metro Courthouse construction scandal case Tuesday.
The case alleges $4.3 million was skimmed off the Metro Courthouse construction project. A group of defendants, including former state Sen. Manny Aragon, allegedly submitted false or inflated invoices, then split the proceeds.
Engineer Raul Parra pleaded guilty to two counts of mail fraud and one count of conspiracy.
He's agreed to testify at trial of others accused in the scandal, if those trial takes place.
When sentenced, Parra could get up to 20 years in prison and have to pay up to a $250,000 fine.
Earlier Tuesday, the wife of former court administrator Toby Martinez, Sandra Martinez, pleaded guilty to one count of knowing about a felony and not reporting to authorities.
Her husband pleaded guilty to mail fraud and conspiracy charges in connection with this case last week.

Through a lens, starkly
MOCA exhibition views Hollywood through the eyes of Weegee
"Pacific Standard Time," the sprawling multivenue consideration of Los Angeles art from 1945 to 1980, is, for the most part, a story of artists who thrived here. However, "Naked Hollywood: Weegee in Los Angeles," which opened Nov. 13 at MOCA Grand Avenue, posits a different narrative, recounting the famed New York photographer's sojourn in Los Angeles between 1947 and 1952 as a somewhat soured love affair. If Hollywood is indeed a boulevard of broken dreams, then the Weegee show is our tour guide.
As, Richard Meyer, an associate professor of art at USC and the exhibition's curator, recalled, MOCA director Jeffrey Deitch's first suggestion to him for the region-wide initiative "Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A. 1945-1980" was to organize a photo show of "anything but high art" images — street photography, advertising, publicity. Meyer worried that that mandate was impossibly broad, so, instead, remembering that Weegee had produced a book, "Naked Hollywood," he suggested they look at the Weegee archive at New York's International Center for Photography. The book showcases 150 images, but they found more than 1,000 in the archives, some never published. Meyer saw a story in the images, and Deitch quickly agreed to the show.
"Basically, once I said the title, 'Naked Hollywood,' I had him," Meyer said.
Weegee was born Usher Fellig in 1899 in Zloczow, Poland (now known as Zolochiv, Ukraine). When his family arrived at Ellis Island a decade later, his first name was changed to Arthur. As a teenager living on the Lower East Side, he dropped out of school to help support his family. By the 1920s, he was working in a professional darkroom, and, by the mid-1930s, he had become a freelance photographer for a number of tabloid newspapers. In Weegee's telling, his uncanny ability to arrive at crime scenes, sometimes even before the police, led to his nickname "Weegee," a phonetic spelling of Ouija, like the fortune-telling board.
For many years, newspapers like The New York Times rejected Weegee's photographs. However, after The Museum of Modern Art purchased several of his photographs and exhibited them, his reputation grew. In 1945, Weegee published "Naked City," a collection of images that became, Meyer said, "a surprise best-seller." Producer Mark Hellinger purchased the film rights for the then-princely sum of $3,000. In 1947, Weegee arrived in Los Angeles, the self-proclaimed "Genius of the Camera," intending to leave behind tabloid crime scene photography to launch a career as an actor, filmmaker, photo consultant, photographer and celebrity in his own right.
Weegee, "Marilyn Monroe," ca. 1960, International Center of Photography, Bequest of Wilma Wilcox, 1993, © Weegee/International Center of Photography/Getty Images.
It seems only natural that Weegee, a self-made Jewish immigrant and shameless self-promoter, should expect to find success in the very place Central European immigrants had established what Weegee called "the Dream Factory." A place where landsmen such as Billy Wilder and Michael Curtiz already had made their fortunes. But, as Primo Levi once famously remarked, "Life proved otherwise."
Weegee's arrival in Hollywood, by his own account, was feted by Gene Kelly and acclaimed by Charlie Chaplin. But the first indication that Weegee's ambitions might not be realized came when the movie adaptation of his book appeared, titled "Mark Hellinger's 'Naked City,' " with no marquee or title credit for the photographer. Weegee spent the next four years in Los Angeles photographing premieres, stars and starlets, strippers and showgirls, mannequins and masks, as well as acting in films (he joined the Screen Actors Guild), consulting on movies, making short films and, as always, relentlessly promoting himself. He inserted himself into photos and developed experimental images, shot with distorting plastic lenses and with images repeated or inserted for special effect, to give voice to his increasingly sour view of Hollywood.
In no time, Weegee began referring to Los Angeles as "Newark, New Jersey, with palm trees" and "land of the zombie." It's hard not to see this as a protective film (literally and figuratively) for a man who craved fame and acceptance for the very idiosyncratic style that made him an outsider and his work unique.
Weegee was drawn not just to celebrity, but to the fans, to the candid moments backstage rather than what was on stage, to the sideshow of drunks and skid-row denizens, stars at their least glamorous moments — such as midmeal or resting before a performance. As he once remarked, "I have no inhibitions, and neither has my camera. What may be abnormal to you is normal to me."
It was only upon his return to New York that Weegee, with the help of the writer and designer Mel Harris, culled through his work to produce "Naked Hollywood." The photos are laid out to show contrasts — a photo of a chimp eating is juxtaposed with one of young Elizabeth Taylor midbite — and with ironic or witty captions. A photo of a window display featuring "extra-large panties" is titled "Wardrobe dept."
The book, however, did not match the success of "Naked City," and, over time,Weegee's Los Angeles adventure receded behind the legend of his New York work.
Until now.
Cover of "Naked Hollywood."
MOCA's exhibition is organized into nine thematic rooms: "Premiere," "Stars," "Magazines," "Newark With Palm Trees" (including images of shop windows, advertisements and signs), "Showgirls," "Photography Is Elastic" (a showcase of Weegee's distorted portrait images), "Bit Parts" (Weegee's appearances in his own photographs, on sets and on film), "Fraymart Gallery" (a re-creation of a group photography show that included Weegee's work) and "Dream Factory."
Meyer admitted that although he had been aware of Weegee's L.A. work, it was only through exploring these images that he came to see Weegee "as more thoughtful about Hollywood."
Jason Goldman, who assisted Meyer in curating the show, said he was struck by "the extent to which he [Weegee] relied on words." Indeed, Weegee's captions and handwritten annotations render the photographs into ironic social commentary, delivering, as Goldman noted, "a conceptual layer to his work."
Nonetheless, the distortions can seem gimmicky or facile. Weegee's attitude toward women can appear lecherous or outright hostile — his disfigurement of actresses such as Marilyn Monroe or Audrey Hepburn, so beloved for their beauty, seems as much revenge as commentary. There is an ugliness to the work that sometimes seems a badge of honor.
Meyer argues that Weegee forces us to see things and go to places where we may not be comfortable. Or, as Weegee once said, "When you come to a scene you want to photograph, look all around, notice everything." He captured a wider world than most Hollywood lenses. Weegee's Los Angeles is a louche wasteland that allows Weegee to appear a bit swifter, funnier, more cutting than his subjects.
Seeing the works displayed at the museum, one realizes how ahead of his time Weegee was, from his one-name moniker, to his use of multiples and manipulated imagery, to the cultivation of his own persona, and even his own appearances in his work. It comes as no surprise that some
of the works on display are on loan from artists operating today in Weegee's shadow, such as Cindy Sherman, Ed Ruscha and Laurie Simmons.
In the gallery guide, Meyer writes: "…Weegee worked at the threshold between creative ambition and commercial enterprise. His incisive eye and conceptual sophistication coexisted with his use of flashy gimmicks, knack for self-promotion, and penchant for off-color humor."
Weegee, "Wardrobe dept.," ca.1950, International Center of Photography, Bequest of Wilma Wilcox, 1993, © Weegee/International Center of Photography/Getty Images.
It was as I read these sentences that it struck me that Weegee is, in effect, a stand-in for all the East Coasters over the years who traveled West in search of fame, fortune and the recognition of their talent, confident that New York smarts would best West Coast illusion.
Who among us didn't move to Los Angeles with our own Hollywood dream of conquering the town and threading ourselves into the very fabric of the city? Who among us doesn't have friends who left Los Angeles, as Gladys Knight put it, "on that midnight train to Georgia" — their time in Tinseltown a mirage of unrealized dreams?
How few in the end can say, in Caesar's words: "I came, I saw, I conquered"? Instead, legion are those who faded into the woodwork. Humorist and author S.J. Perelman used to say that all the money one made in Hollywood magically disappeared when you left California. Others, famously, have described their time here as akin to diving into a pool and coming out the other side 20 years later.
Weegee's experience is a cautionary tale, for us as much as it was for him, that asks us to look all around, notice everything and accept a "Naked Hollywood," devoid of the artifice that draws us like moths to a fire.
"Naked Hollywood: Weegee in Los Angeles" continues through Feb. 27 at the Museum of Contemporary Art, 250 S. Grand Ave., downtown. MOCA.org.

text: tidal power Snohomish County PUD Cancels Tidal Power Project By Bellamy Pailthorp • Sep 30, 2014 Courtesy of Snohomish County PUD Snohomish County Public Utility District has pulled the plug on its high-profile research project to develop technology that harnesses the tides to generate electrical power. The utility says the U.S. Department of Energy was not willing to share in escalating costs for the project. It was to be located in Admiralty Inlet, west of Whidbey Island. The federal agency committed in 2006 to cover a fixed dollar amount that, at the time, covered half of the total bill for the tidal energy project. But it was not clear how to cover increased costs for materials and new mandates for studies, and the DOE said Friday it would provide no additional funding for the effort. Ocean energy gaining momentum in Washington By Bellamy Pailthorp • Nov 14, 2011 You might call it harnessing the power of the moon. Ocean energy is electricity that is generated when the power of tides, waves and currents moves turbines and windmills. It's an idea that's caught on already in Oregon. And there are plans on the horizon to bring it to Washington.

Recent research in rats provides new information on the mechanisms by which stress causes symptoms of depression as well as how antidepressant medications act to overcome them (Son H et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 2012;109[28]:11378-11383).
Previous studies have linked decreased plasticity (the ability of brain cells to reorganize in response to new events) in the brain's hippocampus to chronic depression. In this study, investigators from the United States and South Korea found that chronic unpredictable stress decreases hippocampal expression of a gene that regulates neuronal plasticity by producing a protein called neuritin and that antidepressant treatment reverses this effect.

The Haddonfield Symphony has changed its name to the Symphony in C. Also a title of a famous work by Stravinsky, the orchestra's new name reflects its performing home at the Rutgers-Camden Center for the Arts in Camden, where it began playing last year. Founded in 1952 as a community orchestra for South Jersey, the ensemble evolved into a national professional training orchestra in the early '90s, one of three in the country. The organization has fed players and conductors from the mid-Atlantic region's top conservatories to some of the world's finest orchestras over recent years. Alan Gilbert, music director designate of the New York Philharmonic, started as an associate conductor with the group.
The Symphony in C opens its season Oct. 6-7 in Camden. Bulgarian-born music director Rossen Milanov will conduct a program that includes Prokofiev's "Alexander Nevsky" Suite. Milanov, who is also associate conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra, served as an intern assistant conductor with the Haddonfield group under Gilbert. Starting this season, Rutgers will provide bus shuttles that run from Haddonfield and Medford to the door of the Gordon Theater at the Camden arts center. For more information on the shuttles and the Symphony in C season, call 856-429-1880 or go to www.symphonyinc.org.

Equus -- New York 2008
Richard Griffiths, Harry Potter Actor, Dies at 65
Originally posted 03/29/2013 10:05AM
Richard Griffiths, the well-spoken, rotund presence perhaps best known for playing Muggle guardian Vernon Dursley in the Harry Potter series – and who costarred again with Daniel Radcliffe in the stage drama Equus – died Thursday from complications after heart surgery at University Hospital in Coventry, central England, his agent announced Friday. He was 65.
"Richard was by my side during two of the most important moments of my career. I was proud to know him," Radcliffe said in a statement to the BBC.
Griffiths also won a Tony in 2006 for playing slightly wayward teacher Douglas Hector in Alan Bennett's The History Boys and was the outlandish Uncle Monty in the 1987 cult movie Withnail and I.
Stars Cheer on Daniel Radcliffe in Equus
Originally posted 10/22/2008 01:00PM
Since opening on Broadway last month, Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe has been attracting Hollywood's A-list to Equus, the show in which he stars.
Julia Roberts, Liam Neeson, Natasha Richardson, Lisa Rinna, Jeff Goldblum, Emma Roberts (Julia's niece), and Nathan Lane are just some of the big names who've seen Radcliffe's critically acclaimed turn – and infamous 10-minute nude scene – in the play about a teenager's unhealthy obsession with horses.
"The draw for film stars is to witness first-hand one of their most successful colleagues pulling off such a major 180-degree turn from his established screen persona," says one theater insider, noting how far removed this Broadway character is from Radcliffe's G-rated Harry Potter.
The show, which opened on Sept. 25, runs through Feb. 8.

Vivid red. Redcurrant, raspberry and rhubarb on the spicy, assertively perfumed nose. Tangy and precise on entry, filling out with air and picking up deeper cherry and licorice qualities and a bitter touch of blood orange. The delineated, tangy finish leaves a note of candied flowers behind.

Page and Palette will host best-selling author Sena Jeter Naslund to sign and discuss her latest novel "The Fountain of St. James Court; or, Portrait of the Artist as an Old Woman."
The book-signing event will be held at 6 p.m. Sept. 23 at the bookstore. As a special bonus, local author Roy Hoffman will give the introduction.
Critically acclaimed author Sena Jeter Naslund is unparalleled in her ability to write fiction that gives life to history. In "Ahab's Wife," by re-imagining the Moby Dick Captain's intelligent and adventuresome young spouse, Naslund captured the hearts and minds of booksellers, readers and book clubs all over the country. In "Abundance," she transported readers to the French Revolution and boldly depicted the often maligned Marie Antoinette as a graceful and compassionate queen, facing the guillotine with extraordinary courage. Naslund creates textured, tangible worlds filled with unforgettable characters.
In her most ambitious novel yet, "The Fountain of St. James Court; or, Portrait of the Artist as an Old Woman," Naslund enchants readers with a tale of two worlds: one set in contemporary America and the other rooted in the turbulence of 18th-century France. Naslund brings two fully realized women of different eras, both of whom struggle to forgive themselves when they fail to balance motherhood, matrimony and the work that sustains their souls. A writer tentatively approaches her autumnal years in modern day Louisville, and a painter in revolutionary France determines to survive and flourish.
Naslund is program director of the brief-residency Master of Fine Arts in Writing at Spalding University and Distinguished Teaching Professor and Writer in Residence at the University of Louisville. A former Kentucky Poet Laureate and winner of the Alabama Governor's Arts Award, Naslund is also the recipient of the Harper Lee Award and the Southeastern Library Association Fiction Award. A finalist for the Orange Prize in England, her work has also been published in Australia and translated into German, Spanish, Japanese, Greek, Hebrew, Polish, Danish and Korean. She is editor and co-founder of The Louisville Review and the Fleur-de-Lis Press. She lives in Louisville, Ky.

I hope they put some nods in. Maybe the easter egg bridge, the car garage you work at for so long, the hippie van somewhere. I wouldn't be upset if they didn't, but it'd be cool. I'm sure there'll be a reference somewhere, right?
#7 to #6 - fortecress [OP] (07/18/2013) [-]
I think Grove Street is the only reference they'll put in.
#9 to #7 - demandsgayversion (07/18/2013) [-]
That would be more than acceptable. For some reason, I feel more sentimental towards the garage than grove street, though.
#10 to #9 - fortecress [OP] (07/18/2013) [-]
Which garage? Pic proof?
#11 to #10 - demandsgayversionYou remember now.

Too bad its in San Fierro. The game is only set in Los Santos.
#13 to #12 - demandsgayversion (07/18/2013) [-]
It's just another part of the same city, I'm sure it'll be there.
#14 to #13 - fortecress [OP] (07/18/2013) [-]
I hope so, or maybe it will be on your stocks in the game.
#15 to #14 - demandsgayversion (07/18/2013) [-]
I never considered the stocks. You know they're gonna make that awesome, remember the horse racing minigame in S.A.? Those ******* horse names.
#16 to #15 - fortecress [OP] (07/18/2013) [-]
Yup, its gonna make GTA V one of the most realistic games ever, its has its own economy.
#17 to #16 - demandsgayversion (07/18/2013) [-]
As long as the dog can't die. I don't like dead dogs.
#18 to #17 - fortecress [OP] (07/18/2013) [-]
They can. I'm sorry for the realization, but, since there are people who don't like dead deer, you can kill the deer. Ultimately, you can kill the dogs.
#19 to #18 - demandsgayversion (07/18/2013) [-]
You can't compare hunting deer to hitting a dog with your car. If the dog can die, but it doesn't cross the road, that'd be cool. I just don't wanna run over the ******* dog on accident and ruin that game session.
#20 to #19 - fortecress [OP] (07/18/2013) [-]
Well, its gonna happen... it makes me sad. But i just wanna play and take a trip to places.
#22 to #20 - demandsgayversion (07/18/2013) [-]
There's no way to know for sure.
#23 to #22 - fortecress [OP] (07/18/2013) [-]
Only way to know is exactly 2 months from now!
#24 to #23 - demandsgayversion (07/18/2013) [-]
Man for some reason I had it in my head that it was released in August for like 2 weeks. Then I went to edit my preorder and saw it was September, it was horrible.
#25 to #24 - fortecress [OP] (07/18/2013) [-]
Eh, I'm getting the PS3 bundle.

I used to sell phones. I did it for 5 years. Now had to leave that world I loved to help my mom out to work at my family's resturant. I would love to go back to the retail world selling phones. Having a half way decent phone might be good enough to inpress someone at a job interview and "get back on the horse".
359. pyroscott (Posts: 6; Member since: 01 Dec 2011)
I love Exynos because when I had the Samsung Galaxy SII Epic 4G Touch, that phone was so fast and slick. I give a lot of credit to that processor for the phone being awesome. Sadly, I had to leave Sprint and my Exynos behind.
360. iQCellular (Posts: 2; Member since: 28 Feb 2012)
Faster Processing Speeds, Better Battery Life, Multiple Applications with No Lag, it's made by Samsung....simply put, it's the most solid processor available to date. Why wouldn't you demand the Exynos?
361. _aron_ (Posts: 1; Member since: 28 Feb 2012)
Because I want the best processor in my phone!
362. phenom089 (Posts: 2; Member since: 28 Feb 2012)
By having a Exynos processor means I can maximize the use of my smartphone/tablet to the limit with no hassle..
363. cybervlad81 (Posts: 89; Member since: 04 Apr 2011)
I would demand a Exynos processor because not doing so is just crazy talk!
364. sucker19r (Posts: 12; Member since: 28 Feb 2012)
Because the SGSII Exynos absolutely SMOKES everything else out there that claims to be faster...PhoneArena RULES!!!
365. samsunggalaxynotefan (Posts: 3; Member since: 28 Feb 2012)
Right now I have a crappy iPhone 3gs and have been looking to switch to android for a long time so when I saw this I had to have it! I have dreamed about having this phone and I hope I win!!!!!!!!
366. caseyjerk (Posts: 1; Member since: 28 Feb 2012)
Srsly, the Exynos chip is fast - I have it in my phone now. And the battery life is balllllller. Speed + better battery life = awesomeness!
367. nimra7891 (Posts: 1; Member since: 28 Feb 2012)
i realy don't care about how a chip is power efficienct. from my point of view a chipset 1.3 times more powerful and faster with 50% less power efficiency is better.honestly i don't think exynos is the most power efficient chipset in the market, but i really appreciate the power of that, ... mind blowing. Exynos rocks
368. hirajaya (Posts: 1; Member since: 03 Feb 2012)
Honestly!!! I don't really know the difference between exynos processors and else. . .
But if it's SAMSUNG,I know i'll bid on that. . .
Love you SAMSUNG. . .YOU ROCKK. . .
369. moy10 (Posts: 1; Member since: 17 Feb 2011)
I want an Exynos processor in my smartphone because they are better than the competition and they are easy on the battery.
370. Dr.Phil (Posts: 1159; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
Exynos is powerful, Exynos is awe-inspiring, Exynos is efficient, Exynos brings the best out of the graphics processing, and Exynos has the coolest name for a processor. Exynos has become the new king to beat in the mobile processing world. Every other manufacturer of chipsets is trying its best to compete with Exynos, but they will always fail.
371. chitownchica (Posts: 3; Member since: 28 Feb 2012)
I would prefer Exynos because my brother is the family techie and he insists that this is the best.
372. ewilliams1009 (Posts: 18; Member since: 28 Feb 2012)
Exynos processor is fast and has a long battery life and I need that.
373. Myrith (Posts: 55; Member since: 17 Feb 2012)
Because according to this comparison test using Google Earth, the Exynos is smoooooth.

I would love to experience exynos considering my phone has snapdragon. I want this version really bad because of exynos. Which is why I won't purch
The At&t version.
376. Krs_Won (Posts: 2; Member since: 28 Feb 2012)
I Demand Exynos because of the 50% lower power consumption while perfoming 2x faster! Bring the Pain to the Game!
377. Krs_Won (Posts: 2; Member since: 28 Feb 2012)
And when I say Exynos, it's like Samsung is giving my a hug and a kiss!
378. Loyalist209 (Posts: 1; Member since: 28 Feb 2012)
Exynos just have not been into LTE but Galaxy Note's Exynos is better than LTE Exynos chip is faster and have more effort into it by the Exynos chip company. Honestly I don't know the real difference with Snapdragon and Exynos but both of them have different kind processor to run the apps on smartphone.
379. supaman21 (Posts: 43; Member since: 14 Sep 2011)
because I'm the exynos equivalent, smooth, powerful, and able to handle anything thrown at me without a hitch
380. ben423 (Posts: 1; Member since: 29 Feb 2012)
Exynos smokes the competition with lower power consumption...what else could you want?
381. alj34 (Posts: 38; Member since: 02 Nov 2011)
Exynos is super fast and I love fast!
382. sdadolf (Posts: 5; Member since: 29 Feb 2012)
Every day I find a few more great apps, so I want the best/fastest/most relaible processor for my ophone so I can enjoy my apps to the fullest. The Exynos processor fits the bill.
383. only1boboso (Posts: 1; Member since: 29 Feb 2012)
Fundamentally, the processor permits the user to take 'multi-tasking' to a new level. Its speed and power will allow me to 'task' as fast as I am able to act, not leaving me dependent on how fast the processor can RE-act, setting it not just apart from other devices but rather, setting the bar FOR other devices. The longevity of the battery will make other devices pale in comparison. It will finally permit me to fully utilize my device as it was intended to be used.
Why would I demand having an Exynos processor in my smartphone and/or tablet? I'd be foolish NOT to.
384. DKang (Posts: 1; Member since: 29 Feb 2012)
Because Exynos on Samsung is so fast
385. jecht (Posts: 1; Member since: 29 Feb 2012)

I would love to have a galaxy note with a Exynos processor as i know it will work amazingly. With Exynos there is never any type of lag with the device as it's always snappy unlike other competitor processors.
403. exf5003 (Posts: 3; Member since: 15 Nov 2011)
I demand a Exynos processor because it has one thing in common with Chuck Norris, they both counted to infinity - twice.

Because it kicks a$$! Just saying =)
408. umerfarooqui (Posts: 1; Member since: 02 Mar 2012)
Exynos processors offer better benchmarking scores then qualcom and other processors. Now i know that benchmarks are one thing and real life perfirmance is another but practically also we have seen that the samsung galaxy note having 1.4ghz dual core exynos processor is much more responsive and fluid with its movements and loading times then even the 1.5ghz dual core qualcom snapdragon. This is enough to admit that exynos chipsets are much better indeed.
409. 2pe_2pe (Posts: 14; Member since: 17 Feb 2012)
exynos outclassed all other processors in the market. even the older generation exynos chipsets like the one in samsung galaxy s is faster than most current existing ones. :-P
410. davidjacobs21 (Posts: 2; Member since: 02 Mar 2012)
Exynos rock my samsung galaxy s2, and im sure it kills on the galaxy note
411. cdilson (Posts: 14; Member since: 18 Apr 2010)

413. Mayneman (Posts: 2; Member since: 03 Nov 2009)
Because with an EXYNOS processor my everyday life is no longer a process.
414. Gogggo (Posts: 8; Member since: 02 Aug 2011)
Awesome device, would love to compare using one with an Exynos with others that run Nvida or Qualcomm processors.
415. ZenVol (Posts: 1; Member since: 02 Mar 2012)
Plenty of speed and better battery life. Phone is no good if it's out of juice!
416. primenumber (Posts: 3; Member since: 18 Jan 2012)
I demand a smartphone with an EXYNOS cpu because it is the fastest cpu and helps me keep up to date.
417. phud1066 (Posts: 1; Member since: 02 Mar 2012)
Exynos provides top end performance, that's why!
418. hunssca (Posts: 5; Member since: 02 Mar 2012)

Synaptic plasticity in spinal cord
Pain is a sensory and emotional event and we are interested in the neural bases for sensory transmission from peripheral nerves through the spinal cord to the brain. Our research uses mostly in vivo electrophysiological techniques allied with genetic and molecular approaches to study the physiology and pharmacology of pain transmission and its modulation. We are particularly interested in rapid plasticity in excitatory and inhibitory systems in the spinal cord and brain in different animal models of clinical pain states. We aim to identify targets for analgesics and through several clinical links to improve the treatment of pain.
The Pharmacology of Pain Transmission and Modulation
There are a number of possible projects in this area. The study of how excitatory and inhibitory systems act to control spinal cord events, the spinal pharmacology of the consequences of nerve damage, the roles of sodium and calcium channels in spinal signalling and what the brain tells the spinal cord are examples of current research in the laboratory.

The National Lawyers Guild affirms its strongest support for hunger striking prisoners in California, Colombia, Guantánamo Bay and Palestine, and urges members and supporters to participate in and defend actions of solidarity with these imprisoned people.
"From Pelican Bay to Palestine, imprisoned men and women are standing up and challenging the inhumanity of the mass incarceration system. We must support them in their struggle for dignity," said Azadeh Shahshahani, President of the NLG.
The public can support hunger strikers in a number of ways:
The Prisoner Hunger Strike Solidarity Committee has called upon people to take actions such as calling California prison officials and demanding an end to retaliation against strike organizers; calling Governor Jerry Brown to support the strikers' demands; and signing onto the petition posted by family members with close to 84,000 signatures at the time of this statement. For information about the strike and the actions please visit: http://prisonerhungerstrikesolidarity.wordpress.com
The men imprisoned at the Doña Juana prison located in La Dorada, Caldas, Colombia have engaged in a civil disobedience campaign and hunger strike since July 8, 2013 to protest the lack of adequate health care and sanitation, overcrowding, beatings, and torture in this prison. The Alliance for Global Justice has updates and action alerts on Colombian prisoner rights here:
The Center for Constitutional Rights has laid out a series of actions to take in support of the men at Guantánamo: http://ccrjustice.org/closegitmo/solidarity
In April 2012, thousands of Palestinian prisoners engaged in a mass hunger strike demanding an end to isolation and solitary confinement, among other demands. Several imprisoned men are currently on hunger strike. Addameer, a Palestinian organization that defends prisoners' human rights, has issued an appeal for action: http://addameer.org/etemplate.php?id=621 and Samidoun Palestinian prisoner Solidarity Network has provided action points: http://samidoun.ca/2013/07/take-action-75-days-of-strike-abdullah-barghouthi-in-health-crisis-implement-the-demands-of-jordanian-hunger-strikers/

Not losing anymore weight in fact gained a bit, mainly hormonal I think due to time of the month. But I definitely need to step anyway from the scale. I am making myself crazy wondering if I am eating too much fat, or too little carbs (veggies, nuts, fruits),or too big portions. Gak! I feel pretty contented on the eating plan though without a lot of cravings, just impatient either scale to move more or inches or bp to be lower but my body will do it when ready.
I just have to stay positive that good changes are happening inside that aren't reflected at the moment.

Every pattern I've created has come from the heart. My unique and fun designs are great for anyone who is just starting out crocheting and for anyone who wants to wow their loved ones.View all patterns by designer (15) »
This adorable crocheted baby cradle folds into a purse with handles. There is great attention to detail throughout and on the top rim of the cradle which makes this playful toy even more special. The handles are a drawstring design and are long enough to tie and fasten with the cute button ends. The blanket is a traditional round shell stitch blanket with a modern twist, making this extra adorable. The cradle can fit an 8" doll comfortably and the purse can store the blanket for when she is on the move.
Total size of cradle is approximately 10" W x 7" T x 6" D".
Total size of round blanket is approximately 15" x 15".

Nearly 50 years ago, Keys1,2 recognized
the enormously divergent rates of heart disease around the world, even after
adjusting for differences in age. Although coronary disease was and remains
the leading cause of death in the United States and many developed and developing
countries, it was almost nonexistent in the traditional cultures of Crete
and Japan.1 Rates of cancer at various sites
also differ enormously—up to 100-fold—in different populations.3 The rapid changes in rates of many of these diseases
over time and studies that show increases in chronic disease rates among migrants
from traditional to Westernized cultures demonstrate that relatively swift
changes in disease rates cannot be attributed solely to genetic differences
between populations.4 Instead, they are likely
due to differences in lifestyle, with dietary factors and physical activity
the leading candidates.

Jefferson County Fair features Little Big Town, Gloriana and Casey James this weekend
It's that time of year when county fairs across the state become a must-stop destination for some of country music's biggest stars.
This weekend, country fans heading a few miles west from Milwaukee will find two big shows at the Jefferson County Fair (503 N Jackson Ave. in Jefferson). Tonight at 7, Gloriana is joined by former "American Idol" contestant Casey James on the grandstand. Saturday night, it's Little Big Town headlining at the fairgrounds with Madison-based Madison County opening. With a mix of first-come, first-serve general admission seating included with fair admission and reserved spots at an additional price point, the shows can be an affordable way to catch these acts in a unique setting. General admission to the Jefferson County Fair is $10, with a few money-saving deals outlined on the event's website. »Read Full Blog Post

Comedian Tracy Morgan returns to Pabst Theater
You never know what you're going to get with Tracy Morgan — including whether he'll show up for a gig.
The former "30 Rock" star, recently given the green light by FXX for a new comedy series, was booked for the Pabst Theater and the Riverside Theater in 2008 and 2010, and bailed on both shows due to reported scheduling conflicts. »Read Full Article
Wye Oak visits Turner Hall Ballroom
Wye Oak amassed some strong reviews with 2011's folky, indie-rock album "Civilian," but the duo didn't bother to capture lightning in the bottle again on this year's "Shreik." In fact, frontwoman Jenn Wasner didn't even bother to pick up a guitar, the most distinct instrument on "Civilian."
That bold — some might argue, stupid — creative choice was met with mixed reviews instead of positive ones, but it did allow Wasner and fellow bandmate Andy Stack to pursue a dreamy, often intriguing R&B-scented, synthesizer-heavy sound. »Read Full Article

Break of Reality brings rocking cellos to Homestead
As wise man Jack Black, er, Dewey Finn, from "School of Rock," once said about the cello: "You tip it on the side and cello, you got a bass!"
Similarly, the decade-old New York quartet Break of Reality sees the rock potential of the cello. The band has three of them, plus a cymbal-crashing percussionist, to create an interchangeably cinematic and edgy sound. The band's music has been streamed on Pandora more than 20 million times, and a performance of the "Game of Thrones" theme has 3.3 million views on YouTube. »Read Full Article(1)
Theatre Gigante's 'Midsummer in Midwinter' allows love to age
Shakespeare may have just turned 450, but even as he recedes further into our past, he still remains ahead of us, anticipating our future with plays speaking to who we will become. Among aging baby boomers, that means recasting plays ostensibly about the young, in recognition that the Bard's dramas speak to all ages.
Hence Dale Gutzman's innovative recent production of "Romeo and Juliet," in which the leads were in their 60s. Not to be outdone, Theatre Gigante has just opened "Midsummer in Midwinter," a take on "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in which Shakespeare's four young lovers are each deep into middle age. »Read Full Article
Nickel Creek reunites for joyous show at the Riverside
Reunion tours are a unique beast in the music industry, often accompanied with battling egos, tinges of desperation grasping for past glory days and a fair bit of rust.
That's why Nickel Creek's comeback is so remarkable. Reconvened from a seven-year hiatus to celebrate its 25th anniversary, the trio has displayed none of those pitfalls. Instead, it returned in April with "A Dotted Line," a superb album that refines the band's progressive bluegrass sound. Its reunion tour stopped at the Riverside Theater on Saturday night without any indication of the musicians' years apart, save for the anticipation of the large, attentive audience. »Read Full Article
