The Eastman Kodak campus in Windsor and the former Hewlett-Packard site in west Greeley are among about 11 existing facilities in the hunt for a prized NASA technology park that will employ thousands, according to the state's economic development director.
Don Marostica, head of the state's Office of Economic Development and International Trade, said Monday that most of the existing facilities being considered " there also are about 10 undeveloped sites on the list " are on the west side of Interstate 25, to be closer to the University of Colorado, Colorado State University and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden.
The Windsor and Greeley facilities are the two Weld County locations on the list of prospective sites.
Marostica said he expects an announcement late this week or early next week on whether the technology park will be developed at an existing facility " about 1 million square feet of space is needed " or a greenfield space. He said he plans to meet Thursday with the Colorado Association for Manufacturing and Technology, the organization holding the contract with NASA, to hash out final criteria plans for the site.
By Feb. 15, he said, CAMT plans to have a list of manufacturers it has identified as prospective participants in the technology park. A site should be selected by mid-March, he said.
Meanwhile, city officials in Front Range cities are busy pushing various sites for the facility, which is expected to employ 7,000 to 10,000 workers and host 60 to 100 companies.
On the heels of NASA officials touring the old Hewlett-Packard/Agilent campus in Loveland last month, the Loveland City Council plans a special meeting today to strategize ways to lure NASA to the city.
Marostica spoke to the Longmont City Council late last month about the partnership between NASA and CAMT.
On Monday, Marostica said an existing 550,000-square-foot facility along the Diagonal Highway in Longmont is on the list, and "there's a large million-square-foot building in Jeffco being pushed."
As for the Hewlett-Packard building in west Greeley, which has sat vacant for eight years, NASA "hopes to start with more (square footage) than that, but it will be part of the mix," Marostica said.
In Windsor, Kodak is the in the process of demolishing about a million square feet of buildings as it continues division consolidation. The Windsor campus, which employs about 300 people, down from more than 3,000 at the peak of operations in the early 1980s, continues to operate the color paper and thermal media manufacturing businesses.
Bruce Biggi, Greeley economic development manager, said he plans to meet Wednesday with the northern representative of CAMT. He said not many details about the project, described as an incubator for getting technologies on clean energy and aerospace to the marketplace, have been released.
"For me, there's so many unanswered questions," Biggi said. "What is this, what are they really talking about here? That's why it's important for us to try and get as many direct meetings as possible."
Marostica, a former state representative who lives in Loveland, finishes his tenure as the state's economic development director today, but he said he will continue working with CAMT on the project.
"I've been very careful ... very careful that everybody has their fair chance," Marostica said. "I do know they're moving forward (in Loveland), but others are very interested as well."
The contract between NASA and CAMT was announced at a signing ceremony Dec. 13.
"This is good for Colorado," Marostica said. "Once NASA puts their nose under the tent, it's just the start of what could happen. It's a big deal for all of Colorado."
While details on the overall project remain sketchy, Biggi noted, Greeley's former Hewlett-Packard site "deserves consideration." He said the potential for job growth is an exciting prospect for the region.
"I think this is terribly exciting. I consider it a very worthwhile project," he said. "Of course we'll do everything we can to try and bring some of that innovation and technology into the Weld County and Greeley community."

At a Remote, Dangerous Base in Afghanistan, a Soldier From Mesquite Was Killed Monday
Yet again, a North Texas native has been killed while serving in Afghanistan. The Department of Defense announced today that 35-year-old Mesquite native Raymond Munden, who enlisted in the Army in August 1991, was killed on Monday in Paktika Province near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. The DoD reports that Munden, a sergeant first class, died "of wounds sustained when insurgents attacked his unit using indirect fire." The rocket attack took place at Forward Operating Base Tillman, a dangerous, desolate base so named for the late Pat Tillman and situated but two kilometers from Pakistan. It's known as "The Last Outpost."
News of Munden's death comes just days after Cpl. Peter J. Courcy of Frisco was killed in Afghanistan; indeed, Courcy's body arrived at Addison Airport only yesterday, and he was buried today at the Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery. Both soldiers served with the 2nd Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team based out of Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Munden, a Bronze Star Medal recipient and highly decorated soldier, leaves behind a wife, two daughters and two sons, all of whom live in New York. According to the Army, his mother, Billie Clark, still lives in Mesquite.

A wealthy philanthropist dubbed "God's postman" was killed when he crashed his Bentley after taking cocaine, an inquest heard.
Rabbi Benzion Dunner, who gave millions to charity, may have been under the influence of the class A drug as he drove his two sons in his £175,000 car.
The 45-year-old lost control of the Bentley Arnage as he overtook another vehicle at 80mph, careered off the road and ploughed into a tree.
He died instantly from severe chest injuries. Toxicology tests later revealed he had ingested a quantity of cocaine some time before the crash which could have affected his driving.
The hearing heard that two days before the fatal crash, Mr Dunner had celebrated Purim when he gave away £2 million to the poor.
His father, Councillor Aba Dunner, said that his son had been singing and dancing as he spent the night handing out cash to the needy.
The inquest was told that on March 22 he had been to synagogue twice before he left his family home in Golders Green, north London, for their holiday home in Bournemouth.
Mr Dunner, a father of nine, had been driving sons Chaim, 22, Boruch, 10, and family friend Ginette Silber.
His wife Esther was driving with other members of the family in a car ahead of them.
The crash happened when the rabbi overtook a Toyota Celica on the A338 into Bournemouth but clipped its front off-side, sending the Bentley out of control.
PC Charlotte Wales, of Dorset Police, said: "The Bentley made contact with the front off-side corner of the Toyota. It was a glancing collision but would have increased the rotation of the Bentley.
"The evidence suggests the driver of the Bentley over-steered but did not make an attempt to correct it or apply the brakes."
Chaim Dunner told the inquest it had been an uneventful journey to Bournemouth, during which the family had listened to Chasidic music on the CD player.
He recalled that at the time of the crash: "I was looking at my lap, most likely at my mobile, and I looked up and we swerved to the right, then left, then right and left again. I would say he was driving at about 75 to 80mph but he was fine. When we swerved, he was just driving away from the other car and he was trying to get back in control and then he went straight off."
Dr Peter Sharp, a toxicologist, found traces of cocaine in Rabbi Dunner's blood and urine. He said the rabbi had taken cocaine, but not an excessive amount, and believed he had taken it in the days leading up to his death.
Dr Sharp said studies in the US had shown that the effects of taking the drug before driving can lead to speeding, loss of control, causing collisions and high risk, inattentive driving.
When Bournemouth coroner, Mr Sheriff Payne, asked him if the cocaine would have affected Mr Dunner's driving he replied: "Sure, yes."
The policewoman present at the crash, PC Wales, said she could find no obvious reason why Rabbi Dunner lost control.
She said: "He had steered to the near-side but the reason for that I haven't been able to establish. I don't think it was a case of misjudging things.
"There must be another reason; he fell asleep or collapsed at the wheel or was distracted."
In recording a verdict of accidental death, Mr Payne said the cocaine had been a factor in the crash.
He told the Bournemouth inquest: "The post-mortem would seem to indicate no difference in his heart from that of any other person.
"We have to consider another factor. It came to light that he had cocaine in his system and one of the effects is that you become reckless and you do not perceive matters properly.
"I have to conclude that it must be a contributory factor in what happened."

Volleyball team breaks 5-game skid
Swedes beat McCook, fall to Lex.
Injuries continue to haunt the Gothenburg volleyball team as two Swede players watched and two played through pain during a triangular with McCook and Lexington on Thursday.
The experience younger girls are getting in the meantime, though, is proving invaluable.
"I've had to ask girls to play in positions they may not be totally comfortable with," said Swede coach Mary Clark. "They do it and they're doing a good job. They're learning to play for the team no matter who is on the floor."
The Swedes split the triangular, defeating McCook 20-25, 25-22, 25-20 and then falling to Lexington 25-16, 23-25, 25-16.
Against McCook, Gothenburg started off all three sets with a lead.
In the first set, Gothenburg gained a 4-0 lead before McCook tied at 11-11 and again at 17-17 before putting Gothenburg away.
The Swedes were up 4-0 and tied again at 11-11, 16-16 and 21-21 in the second set before knocking the Bison down.
And the third set was nearly a broken record as Gothenburg pushed ahead 9-2 before allowing the Bison back in.
"We just kept fighting," Clark said. "That's what these girls do. Sometimes it's enough to win and sometimes it's not."
Against Lexington, the Swedes lost the first set but found some momentum in the second and came back to squeak out a win.
Two missed serves to begin the third and final set meant Gothenburg had to work from behind most of the time.
"We're really focusing on finishing the match," Clark said.
Senior Emily Max had nine service points and 18 kills against McCook. She added nine kills,10 blocks and 19 digs against Lexington.
The Swedes (7-12) will host Southwest Thursday in a game that was originally scheduled to be played at Bartley. Varsity begins at 7 p.m.

Rushed Reactions: #9 Wichita State 72, #13 La Salle 58Posted by AMurawa on March 29th, 2013
Andrew Murawa (@amurawa) is reporting from the West Region semifinals in Los Angeles, California, this weekend.
Three Key Takeaways.
- No Shock. While Wichita State came into its first two games as underdogs, the Shockers were the favorite on Thursday night. And they played like it. Against a La Salle team featuring a variety of options around the perimeter, the Shockers displayed not only the athleticism and quickness to stick with all of those smaller offensive options, but guys like Carl Hall and Cleanthony Early – both bigger than all but one player in the La Salle rotation – operated with impunity in the middle. Wichita dominated on the glass, grabbing 45.9% of their own misses and 77.9% of La Salle's, while outscoring the Explorers in the paint 40-26 (a number that was 24-10 at half). The Shockers never trailed and spent the final 36 minutes of the game leading by at least eight points.
- But Can They Play With The Buckeyes? The Shockers have time and again shown an ability to play with their opponents in this NCAA Tournament regardless of the style of play they face. Against the rugged Pitt Panthers, the Shockers fought them tooth and nail on the glass and dominated them despite shooting just 2-of-20 from deep. Against the high-scoring Gonzaga Bulldogs, Wichita got it done with improbably hot shooting, knocking down 14 threes. And against La Salle they locked up perimeter scorers on the defensive end and pounded it inside on offense. Ohio State is certainly a different animal all together, but this Shockers team has the athleticism at all areas of the floor to compete with the big favorite.
- Ron Baker, Late Season Addition. The Shockers missed their redshirt freshman guard for 21 games this season due to injury, but he is back with a vengeance. He scored 16 efficient points against Gonzaga and did a ton of other work, racking up a +19 plus/minus number in that game. Tonight he was his same versatile self, knocking down a couple more threes on the way to 13 points for the night and a +22 plus/minus (second on his team only to Hall's +24), supplying heady passing, timely shooting and some great defensive effort
Star of the Game. Carl Hall, Wichita State. The newly shorn Shocker big fella controlled the paint tonight, knocking down seven of eight first half shots and grabbing six boards in helping his team build up an insurmountable 16-point halftime lead. While he wasn't nearly as effective in the second half as the game turned into a guard-dominated affair (he wound up with 16 points, eight boards and three blocks), the damage had been done.

Bootstrap also comes with a full set of icons that have been contributed by glyph icons. To get a full listing of these icons, if you go to getbootstrap.com, click on the link on the top for Base CSS and then click on the link on the left side for icons by Glyphicons, you'll see that you have a whole list of these, 140 choices of all different shapes and sizes and indications of things. I'm going to grab this calendar icon right here, I'm just going to highlight the words icon-calendar and Ctrl+C or Command+C to copy that.
I'm going to incorporate that into my web page by putting this little icon in front of the date. So, what I'm going to do now is I'm going to hop into Dreamweaver, and I'm going to scroll on down here to the first instance of where this happens, which is here, at 9:30 to 10:30am: Elizabeth Hall, and that's where I'd like to go ahead and put this particular icon. The way you go about doing this is you're just going to put in a span tag with a class of whatever class is associated with that particular icon, and those are all displayed there on the web page.
And then you're going to follow that immediately by a slash span, so you see here the span class icon-calendar is the name of the class which we saw right here on the web pages. Those are all of the names of the classes to get those particular icons to display. Then go ahead and save--Ctrl+S or Command+S to Save--and if you put this page into Firefox, you'll see here that our icon shows up right here on the page in front of the time. So that's a nice little feature that Bootstrap ships with. But what if you don't want black? What if you want white instead? That is possible to do as well, as you'll see here inside the documentation down here at the bottom of the page, it will indicate that you can go ahead and use icon-white, which will give you the icon as well, but in the white format instead of in the dark format.
So, now if I scroll on down to the next instance here, I'm going to go ahead and put in that span tag again of icon-calendar icon-white which will give me a white version of the icon followed by a slash span. Once again, go ahead and Save this and go ahead and refresh Firefox, and you'll see the icon is there. It's very hard to see, of course, a white icon on a white background, but you can kind of see it a little bit, because the edges of the icon have been treated to blend into a dark background.
So, that's the way that you would go about incorporating icons into your document. You can go ahead and repeat this process for the rest of the page to continue incorporating icons as many as you like. Where these icons are being pulled from is inside of your file structure within Dreamweaver. Inside of your image folder, you'll notice that there are a couple of these images here, glyphicons-halflings and a white version of those. In fact, what you have here is an image sprite, so there are 140 tiny little pictures that occur in one PNG, which is a really great way of handling these tiny images for mobile phones.
Rather than having to pull down 140 individual images, in this particular case, we've only pulled down a single image and then using CSS, we target the picture that we want directly on that image, so that is where those are located. The drawback to doing it this way is that since these are image sprites and they're rasterized small images, you're not able to blow these up and use them as large-format pictures within your document. You certainly could download those kind of graphics elsewhere on the Internet and incorporate those into your Bootstrap site, but these glyph icons that ship with Bootstrap, they are image sprites, and that's the way that they work.

Have had a bit of a down day. Last night at work was one of the worst nights I have ever had. Not only was shit hitting fans everywhere, I am not happy with my own performance, which is very hard for me to move past. But that is what I have to do. This morning I was so tired I felt I could barely drive, and when I got home and got out of the car, my body totally cramped up. I hurt everywhere, my back, my knees, all my joints. I managed to feed the cats, wash up, and literally fell into bed knowing that I couldn't get up again and hoping that some rest would cure me. Which it did! I woke up feeling much better physically but in a bit of a funk. I didn't want to come back to work, but I know that is in fact what is best. That old saw is right - when you fall off a horse, you have to get right back on. Otherwise it preys on your mind. So here I am and all is well.
All I want to eat is nuts and fruit. What is up with that? It is bitter cold outside but I don't feel like eating 'real food' at all. Just want lighter snack-type stuff. I wonder if I am fighting off some nasty bug? This morning I thought I was getting the flu, but obviously not. There is some icky thing going around, it is not flu but has many of the same symptoms. Luckily it is short-lived. Maybe my immune system is in high gear.

Michèle Roberts' second novel offers a more tentative vision of a woman's life than the novels which precede and succeed it. In many ways The Visitation may be read as a transitional text in Roberts' oeuvre, problematizing the conclusions reached in her first novel, A Piece of the Night [see entry], and introducing issues raised more explicitly in her later work. This novel follows a central protagonist, Helen Home, in her search for a balance between her relationships with men, her intimate friendships with women, and her desire to be a writer. The novel begins in the womb, where Helen and her twin brother, Felix, are represented as Eve a…

not a five star hotel. rooms very noisy,no toiletries
From the very start we received a warm welcome and friendly service. Our room was lovely , fresh and clean and the view over the sea was beautiful. I visited the Spa and can recommend this also, professional and calming and fairly priced. We will definitely be back!
Got an enjoyable stay and good sleep in the hotel after a week's island hopping in Greece. Nice beach. Great breakfast buffet. The one thing to consider: Its a family hotel with a lot of kids of all ages whirling around. They don't have a shuttle to the airport nearby. You can catch a regional bus but pay attention: There is no bus service on Sundays - the hotel reception missed out to tell me this! I had to take a taxi to the airport and paid Euro 6 for a ride of just about 2-3 Km!

Sunnyvale, CA – September 24, 2013 – Good Technology™, the leader in secure mobility, in collaboration with the IBM MobileFirst Ecosystem initiative, today announced support for the IBM MobileFirst Application platform - IBM Worklight® 6.0. Through the PhoneGap plugin on the Good Dynamics® Secure Mobility Platform, Worklight applications can now leverage and integrate best-in-class enterprise functionality, including containerisation, secure communication, and policy management. Developers can get step-by-step instructions on how to create and secure Worklight applications, and then deploy them to internal enterprise users or submit them to the App Store for general distribution.
As a result of Good's support for this platform, organisations can more easily embed enterprise level security controls and policies into their apps, without requiring mobile app developers to learn or write new code. In addition, with Good Dynamics app-to-app encrypted tunneling technology, enterprises can enable mobile workflows to foster collaboration and increase productivity while ensuring data shared between apps is protected, whether they are custom apps built on IBM Worklight or apps from Good's vast ecosystem of independent software vendor (ISV) partners.
"By leveraging Good Dynamics to build and deploy apps, developers can speed delivery and ensure industry-leading levels of protection and compliance are integrated into their apps," said John Herrema, senior vice president of product management at Good Technology. "We aim to extend these capabilities to the leading mobile development platforms, tools, and communities and supporting IBM Worklight and its growing community of developers is helping us do that."
IBM Worklight provides app developers with support across multiple mobile operating environments and devices with the simplicity of a shared code base. With Worklight, developers can efficiently build, run and manage HTML5, hybrid and native apps and and integrate them with the growing ecosystem of third-party tools, libraries, and frameworks, including Good Dynamics.
"In a matter of just a few days, we were able to secure our existing IBM Worklight compatible app ClearConcert™ for IBM Rational Team Concert using the Good Dynamics platform and were pleased with how simple it really is," said Aaron Allsbrook, Chief Technology Officer for ClearBlade, Inc., a leading mobile application and MBaaS platform provider. "Many corporate customers cannot fully deploy pieces of our technology without addressing the issue of security and Good Dynamics combined with IBM Worklight gives us the full suite of tools to meet their needs."
To learn more about the Good Dynamics Secure Mobility Platform and how to secure applications built on IBM Worklight, please visit the Good Dynamics Network.

Product Review (submitted on February 28, 2014):
I was give this tea as a gift (im a coffee drinker) so wasnt expecting much but the beautiful smell had me dying to try it! Heavily vanilla and honey notes and an almost floral aroma reminiscent of old english roses and a warm summers afternoon.
The smell was divine and the brew surpassed the dreamy aroma. Its smooth, aromatic and amazingly relaxing. It's a drink to take your time over, one that makes you feel thoroughly indulgent.
Perfect on its own but delightful with a nice scone and jam.
I will never be without my Tower of London and it has kicked my coffee habit!

No one involved in public education has asked for my opinion on cell phones in school.
But I'm going to offer it anyway.
Ban 'em. Confiscate 'em. Lock 'em up.
A mini-conversation has begun in Amarillo in recent days over an incident at Tascosa High School involving students "texting" each other in connection with unfounded reports of a student bringing a gun to class after an assault.
The rumors - which proved to be false - began to fly at a recent Tascosa-Randall football game.
Well, the incident blew over and life has returned to some semblance of normal in the public school systems of Amarillo and Canyon.
The kids have their cell phones, even though - at AISD, for example - school policy prohibits their use during school hours.
The little darlin's are "texting" (man, I hate it when nouns become verbs) each other relentlessly in school, despite the ban. They're shooting messages back and forth during class. They're flirting, passing information, maybe even telling dirty jokes.
How do schools officials cope with this 21st-century phenomenon? They nab the phones when they spot the kids using them.
But the students persist. Why? Because Mom and Dad allow them to carry the cell phones with them to school.
Ah, Mom and Dad.
They're equally guilty of contributing to this cell-phone madness.
I was stopped the other day at 45th and Bell, waiting for the traffic light to turn green so I could proceed west toward Coulter. The southbound traffic on Bell then was cleared to turn east onto 45th. While I waited my turn to go, I watched about a dozen vehicles make the left turn; roughly half the drivers were gabbing on cell phones.
I've held the view for years that the most dangerous creature on Earth is the soccer mom weaving her way through rush-hour traffic in her Suburban Assault Vehicle while blabbing on a cell phone.
These otherwise fine individuals, along with their husbands, are imbuing in their children this cockamamie notion that cell phones are a necessary part of modern-day communication, that their youngsters cannot function normally without them.
Yes, I know that some parents believe they must equip their children with cell phones during school so they can be in constant communication with them - in case of emergency.
I recall a day when a phone call on a rotary-dial device to the school office put parents in touch with their child quickly.
An alert school secretary would take the call, receive the message for Jimmy or Sally to call home, notify the classroom teacher using an intercom system, and the student would hustle into the office to get the message.
How long would that take? A minute? Maybe two or three?
School officials do what they can by banning cell phone use during the normal school day. Some local districts are fining students who violate school policy and putting the money into a student activity fund.
That's all fine. I'm in their corner on this one.
This plea, though, goes primarily to parents who have control - or should have control - over their children's activities.
Take the phone away from the kids as they head off to school. Store them in a secure place. Give the devices back to the children when they get home so they can "text" to their little hearts' content.
And, hey, if you need to get in touch with your child during the school day, call the office. You are, after all, paying the salary of school staff members to perform certain tasks, such as relaying messages when the need arises.
All right. So this is a rant. However, my fellow Amarillo residents give me plenty of reason almost daily to go ballistic as I watch them put themselves and, more importantly, all the rest of us, in mortal danger by flapping their jaws on their cell phones while operating a steel-encased missile on wheels.
And now comes word that "texting" in schools has caused a potentially dangerous rumor to flare up, creating a state of semi-emergency in one of our public high schools.
This much has become crystal clear in this still-new century: Contemporary society has been taken prisoner by this instant-communication technology.

Chemical Crusaders Target Christmas
A new law is taking harmless toys off store shelves, but a Wednesday vote has given retailers a slight reprieve .
What do pesticides, carbon dioxide, recombinant bovine growth hormone and lead have in common? They're all scourges of chemical crusaders, a loose-knit group of environmentalists, lobbyists and legislators who want to create a "chemical-free" world and impose it on the rest of us. And they've just added phthalates, a class of chemicals that softens plastics, to their list of villains.
The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA), which went into effect earlier this year, got a lot of attention for its retroactive ban on the sale of children's products that have not been tested for microscopic amounts of lead, but that same ban also applied to products with phthalates.
Because of the ban, Goodwill and The Salvation Army had to throw out an estimated $100 million worth of merchandise. Like the sad inhabitants of the Island of Misfit Toys in "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," these gifts will never warm the hearts of poor children whose parents can't afford to buy them new toys and clothes. Protection from a threat more abstract and dubious than climate change likely won't provide much consolation to these kids. Congress doles out earmarks and entitlements like Santa Claus, but the CPSIA has turned it into Scrooge.
In addition to permanently banning the phthalates DEHP, DBP and BBP, the CPSIA implemented a temporary, retroactive ban on the three phthalates DINP, DIDP and DnOP, which are frequently found in PVC piping, rubber duckies, baby bottles, medical tubing, and blood storage bags. In a gracious, albeit token goodwill gesture, the Consumer Product Safety Commission voted on Wednesday morning to extend the enforcement stay on phthalate testing. But until the CHAP makes a final ruling declaring the three phthalates safe and lifting the temporary ban, retailers and charities are still going to suffer under the draconian regulations of the law.
Back in 2001, the CHAP concluded that exposure to DINP posed a minimal to nonexistent risk to the majority of children. And while evidence since then hasn't much changed (more on that later), the movement against phthalates has grown. If you do a Google search for phthalates, "Our Stolen Future," "Environmental Working Group," "The Daily Green---the Consumer's Guide to the Green Revolution," and "Pollution in People" will pop up as some of the top listings.
In a New York Times column a week ago entitled "Cancer From the Kitchen?," Nicholas Kristof suggests that the increase in breast cancer, asthma, and childhood leukemia are all in part due to so-called endocrine disrupters like phthalates hiding in plastic containers just waiting to leach out and contaminate our food. Mr. Kristof discusses at length how the proliferation of chemicals (he notes that 80,000 new chemicals have been developed since World War II) correlates with the increased rates of some diseases like breast cancer. He suggests that because increased exposure to estrogen over a lifetime increases the risk for developing breast cancer and since a few scientists claim that some chemicals seem to hormonally mimic estrogen in animals, then these chemicals are probably at fault for the increased rates of breast cancer in humans. Most serious scientists consider this hogwash. It's long been established in the medical community that excess fat is linked to higher estrogen levels (fat cells produce estrogen). And well, obesity has more than doubled in the past 30 years.
A number of chemical crusades also purport that mothers' ingestion of phthalates may cause their sons to act more feminine. They refer mostly to small studies performed on male rats where high exposure to phthalates---far higher than everyday human exposure---was found to interfere with normal sexual development. However, the results could not be duplicated in mice or monkeys. There's also limited evidence from human studies. For example, one small study showed that maternal exposure to phthalates correlated with mothers rating their sons' behavior as more feminine---after over half of the cohort dropped out, skewing the sample. A number of scientists including those at Great Britain's National Health Service have noted the extremely flawed methodology of the study.
In the past several years, the National Toxicology Program, the Centers for Disease Control, the FDA and many other independent organizations have reviewed the scientific evidence and determined phthalates to be safe at the concentrations found in most household items . Phthalates don't build up in the body and most wash out within 24 hours. Even the EPA's risk assessment researcher Dr. Robert Benson noted in the March 2009 issue of Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology that "…it is unlikely that humans are suffering adverse effects from current environmental exposure to these phthalate esters." The Consumer Product Safety Commission's deputy associate executive director for health sciences Dr. Marilyn Wind says that the ban on phthalates in children's products was "not necessary" and that "there was not a risk of injury to children."
The CHAP should act now to redress some of the damage done by the noxious Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act . The science on the issue is clear. Phthalates at the levels found in most products don't pose a measurable risk to humans. Of course, anything—synthetic or naturally occurring---in excess can prove deleterious, even oxygen and water.
And regulation in excess, well, it's enough to ruin Christmas.
Ms. Finley is assistant editor of OpinionJournal.com.
Correction: An earlier version of this story misstated that the CHAP would vote on whether to lift the temporary ban on Wednesday. Instead, the CPSC is expected to vote on lifting the enforcement stay on testing on Wednesday.

African Mothers Health Initiative
Rating: 4.94 stars 17 17 reviews
713 Kennebec Ave Takoma Park MD 20912 USA
Amhi is a grassroots organization whose mission is to work towards improved maternal and child health in malawi by spreading the word at home and funding their sister non-profit in malawi. Chimwemwe mu'bereki is the malawian sister ogranization founded to carry out the work in malawi. Amhi exists with the core knowledge that the lives of all women and children are precious. They are the center of everything we do. The ultimate goal is not a statistical change but the evolution of an environment in which women are free to experience and appreciate the birth process and motherhood as one of the great joys of human existence.
Baby care program the baby care program identifies the most vulnerable infants(orphans, multiples, preemies) immediately after birth and provides supportive home based care. For orphaned newborns cu provides formula and teaches relatives how to prepare it safely. Cu visits the baby regularly to monitor her growth and development. Other children in the home who may need extra support are also identified. And, when problems threatening the children's well-being are identified, cu works with families and communities to find solutions.
mother care program women who are seriously ill during the time of their delivery require extra support during the period following the birth. When such women are identified, cu conducts home visits and assists these women with a few basic necessities.

After having spent many years in Malawi I was excited to finally come across an organization serving a very important need in the country: the gap in clinical care for recent mothers and babies after returning from hospital childbirth to their homes. I was even more excited to find that this AMHI is extraordinarily well-managed and organized, and run by a group of dedicated and indefatigable volunteers. I joined the board of AMHI shortly after getting in touch with the founder, and feel honored to be part of the cause.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
AMHI continues to do what others cannot: provide care to Malawian mothers and babies who barely survive birth. The non-profit works in Malawi because it can make a difference there. Malawi is one of the world's poorst, least resourced countries; consequently, the death rate for mothers and babies is very high. Many Malawian women and children die in the hours and days after birth. AMHI provides postpartum nursing care because the Malawian public health system cannot provide this assistance and because no other non-profit has focused on this need. AMHI's unique model of hiring and building the capacity of Malawian nurses strengthens the country's own human health resources without depleting them. And AMHI works with communities, not only patients, to teach and empower families and villages to care for their own vulnerable mothers and babies and to prevent future maternal and child health crises. For these many reasons, I support AMHI with my time and treasure. Others wishing to make a meaningful impact should do the same.

AMHI is an organization that has stepped into a breach of poverty and death to support maternal and child health services that no other group provides. AMHI's work is vital and compelling, and it has drawn me in. First, I volunteered for the organization and donated the occasional $50 to it. I was helping moms and babies, so why not? Then, I became the organization's Policy Advisor and would spend a couple hours a week reviewing grant applications and helping with strategy. The work was interesting and the need was great, so why not? Then, I got married and asked all my guests to donate to AMHI. I returned most of my wedding presents so I could give that money to AMHI, too. Malawian moms and babies needed the money so much more than I, so why not? Then, I joined AMHI's board and spend several hours a week on its work. I don't really have the time, but AMHI's employees, Beatrice and Joanne, have given so much of themselves to the cause, so why not? I only wish I had more time and treasure to give AMHI. Every minute and every penny have made and do make a difference.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
AMHI has empowered women in Malawi by involving mothers in their own care, and by working with communities to improve provision of perinatal care.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
the knowledge that I am supporting real, immediate, and needed perinatal care for moms and babies in Malawi.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
saintly. Really. AMHI's founder, Joanne, may well be a modern Mother Theresa. She has given everything she has to AMHI.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
- provide more care to moms who are very sick postpartum. - give formula to every baby whose mother didn't survive childbirth. - hire and train more contract nurses to follow moms and their families for the first year post-delivery. - provide more nursing kits, with bandages and antiseptic, to nurses. - provide supplemental food to sick moms, to support their healing and their production of breastmilk for their infants. - develop laboring mom evacuation plans for every Malawian community, so no more moms die in childbirth.

This organization is dedicated to improving maternal and child survival and health in Malawi. AMHI has achieved a great deal with limited resources through its grassroots efforts and the commitment of its volunteers, who have worked steadily toward supporting an increasing number of mothers and babies who need help to survive the consequences of maternal morbidity. AMHI is about hope and love, and the triumph of persistence for gains both great and small.

I met the founder of AMHI, Joanne, 11 years ago. We worked together and although our career paths diverged we kept in contact. Three years ago, on her way back from working in Malawi she stopped by and told me about some of the work she was doing following infants whose mothers died in childbirth and caring for moms who were severely ill after childbirth. She said people from all over were inspired and had offered their support. She questioned the idea of starting a nonprofit and I told her I would do anything to make it a reality. I knew if there was one woman who could make a difference, it was Joanne. I am continuously inspired by Joanne's humility and humanity. She has empowered Malawian women to care for those in need and she has chosen to work with those who demonstrate great compassion. I am proud to be a part of the organization not just because of the number of lives that have been positively impacted by AMHI's support but more so that the work has been done in a sensitive and culturally appropriate manner.

As a board member, I receive the reports and feedback about the work being done on the ground in Malawi. The stories of women we are supporting is overwhelming at times. But, I am so proud of the work being done in this neglected area of public health.

Except that a certain father and a certain son are alive. Hopefully this will also be the case in this game.BlankCanvasDJ;662449 said:This. Seriously, once you've lived through the prison storyline, you don't expect any happiness at the end of a Walking Dead story.
Don't think I'd have any reaction. As episode 3 proved, anything could happen and my will to play or feel anything anymore has been drained. In fact, I wonder now if the game is about the struggle and the feelings that go with it rather than the outcome. It wouldn't surprise me if every character was killed off without any kind of resolution.
Well I know based on the pics in the game that Clem will be in episode 5 so I won't have to stop playing lol.
I really hope she doesnt. My breaking point was already reached based on what happened in episode 3. If she dies that's really gonna kill me
if there was a season 2 I'd probably only get it if it revolved around a different group of people. As much as I like Lee, i think they've taken his story as far as it can go. but that's just my opinion
I think that in the last episode she will die...
Less weight on my shoulders, not like she helped in the train depot. i had to fight off both walkers, coulda just shot the lock myself after. Down with the citrus child
Clem will not die
That is the end of it
Even if she did die the outburst of anger would make them change the ending and release The walking dead extended cut.
My reaction would be:

Why did the Canadain Fans support duran over leonard in Montreal?
Leonard thought he would have the crowds support because of the olympics but he did not. Any thoughts why?

Duran was very popular around the world as lightweight champ. Sugar Ray was a "golden boy" and hyped star(though he lived up to the hype). It wasn't unexpected. Some of the crowd probably did support Leonard due to his Gold medal in Canada and tv appearances but much of the crowd supported the warrior and probable underdog in Duran.

Leonard was the favorite out of Vegas at 9-5 because Duran was coming from the lightweigh division and was figured to be much smaller. When they got in the ring Duran was just shorter not smaller, his legs were trim and muscular and his broad shoulders had extra muscle on them compared to holding 135lbs.
I had a great night, our live show fighters all won and I cleaned up against the guys from Hartford who had Leonard. Good times!!! Ray

I do not think racism played into at all. People do cheer for the underdogs and roberto wore a shirt with bonjour montreal on it whenever he was training or out in public. His corner also unveiled a Quebec flag in the ring.

Leonard was a pretty boy, Duran was a gritty "blue collar" fighter; although Leonard was undefeated, it was with fewer fights under his belt, while Duran, more popular worldwide, had only one defeat in far more fights and an impressive KO record.
Not only against Leonard, Duran's popularity should not be understimated. In almost every venue and against major opponents(Moore, Barkley, Hagler, et al), Duran was the crowd favorite. To this day, he remains one of the more popular figures the sport has ever seen.

Fans always root for the underdog, besides, the fight was four years after the Olympics, all the hype and excitement surrounding Leonard's medal win would have long gone
