UNIONDALE - It was an intense afternoon at Hofstra University for dozens of Long Island children who were competing in a regional spelling bee.
It marked the second year that Hofstra hosted the event, which saw 99 spellers from schools across Nassau and Suffolk counties take a stab at spelling some tough words.
Today's winner was Isabelle Scott, of Paul J. Gelinas Junior High School in Setauket. Scott will go on to the National Spelling Bee in Washington D.C., to compete against stellar spellers from around the nation.

Fake WhatsApp Message Terrifies Kidnap Family
Since Friday, someone began sending out fake WhatsApp messages about the status of the boys kidnapped by Hamas and the search for them. The messages have been going viral, and some of the less scrupulous or careful news sites have actually reported these fake WhatsApp "updates" as true.
Earlier today, a new and fake WhatsApp message went viral. The message reached one of the family members of the kidnapped boys.
Needless to say, until the family confirmed that the information was completely false, the family was seriously distressed to no end by the text of the message, which we are not reposting.
The IDF spokesperson has called on the public to stop forwarding these WhatsApp messages and to act responsibly.
The origin of these messages is unknown, whether they come from Hamas or just a sick person. But they are taking advantage of the Israeli need to forward on breaking news as fast as they can, to as many people as they know.
One hopes a responsible authority thinks to get a warrant to trace the WhatsApp message back to its source.Shalom Bear

Hamas, or a sick person? I think you meant Hamas, or another sick person…
Despite it being difficult if you're a family member of someone in this situation you need to electronically isolate yourself. Don't use apps, or read message boards, or news sites. Rely on the IDF to keep you informed, otherwise this is going to happen. The modern world is full of trolls that love to cause harm.
Let us see, we have those who do good and we have those who do evil. That is pure and simple evil and when they are caught, watch out, they will receive the spanking of their lives and serve time doing community service in the worst sectors one could ever imagine. Be a good deterrent for future plans to get even.

2 years in prison recommended for Walker aide
A Milwaukee County prosecutor is recommending two years in prison for a former aide to Scott Walker before Walker was elected governor.
A sentencing memo filed this week by Assistant District Attorney Bruce Landgraf says Timothy D. Russell used his relationship with Walker to access money intended to benefit military veterans and their families.
Landgraf will also ask that Russell pay restitution of more than $27,000.
The 49-year-old Russell was a top aide to Walker when the governor was Milwaukee County executive. Russell pleaded guilty to stealing more than $20,000.
Defense attorney Parker Mathers plans to file his own sentencing recommendation Friday afternoon. He says he'll request a sentence of probation.
Russell is scheduled to be sentenced Tuesday morning.
Walker has not been charged with wrongdoing.

Bridge maintenance in North Toledo and continuing construction in Northwood will cause traffic disruptions today for motorists on I-75.
For periods of up to 10 minutes, traffic will be halted at the Wales Road overpass in Northwood between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. while workers take down wooden scaffolding from the bridge, which is being dismantled for replacement. Motorists should consider alternate routes to avoid delays.
Maintenance on the I-75 bridge over the Ottawa River will require lane closings starting today and continuing through next week. Starting at 3 p.m. today, the right lane in each direction will be closed until Saturday morning.
From Saturday morning until before the Monday rush hour, two lanes will be closed in each direction. The Ohio Department of Transportation has advised motorists to consider using U.S. 23 and I-94 to bypass the site, since congestion is likely, especially on Sunday afternoon.
Left-lane closings will persist next week at the bridge, but at least two lanes of traffic will be open in each direction after the weekend, ODOT said.

anyone know how I can catch yesterday's Ripley's Believe It Or Not?
Lu, you're losing points fast with Quill.
If Quill was a senior when he first came to Pittsville, he could conceivably be graduated by now. If he's out of school, more doors can open for him getting over to the US without having to jack around with school. Regarding the issue of Luann going to Oz—don't know about student visas, but decades ago I considered emigrating and checked out Canada and Australia. Both have very stringent immigration rules—Canada has a point system: you get points for having relatives in Canada, being under a certain age, having a job lined up, speaking French, having job skills or degrees they wanted, and so on. Hard to remember back in the mists of time now, but IIRC Oz was very, very picky. They only wanted people in certain professions. I was surprised—I had lots and lots of education, but neither country would have had me. So—maybe Luann could marry a native and get in that way if she were to consider relocating to Oz? Then work on getting citizenship? Other than that, from my brief research years ago, she absolutely would not make the cut to immigrate there, unless she was a brain surgeon or something they wanted. Quill would have an easier time by far relocating here. Totally doubt they'd pick a third place and both have to relocate.
Just these things considered, I think Luann's going to wind up in the USA, and Quill will either relocate here and join the regular cast, or they will have to break up.
Luann needs to concentrate on the important things. Like the art of LISTENING.
ChihuahuaMama, totally what I was thinking, once I stopped thinking about how in blazes they could possibly reside in the same place. :-) Hard to see how Quill could put up with her histrionics for long.
May not be able to talk much once he gets a job. Luann better listen carefully. Quill has been acting like he cares a lot for her and verbally announcing it lately.
Yeah. Luann will lose Quill if she keeps this up. And this "thing" she could lose him over is her fault in the first place. She rubbed her pendant from him in Tiffany's face just to show her up, a gift he got for HER, not Tiffany. Considering how she's behaving right now, she doesn't deserve to have Quill or any other decent guy. She's almost as bad as Tiffany.
Anyone else think it's telling how she's emphatically NOT paying attention to Quill when he's talking about concrete plans to get back to the US? Of course this is fiction, but if it were real life I'd wager Luann would drop him like a hot potato if he showed up. She's not interested in anything she can have. She only wants what she can't have—because that's safe. True, Quill WAS the only exception in 25 years, that brief moment in her bedroom before his dad called him away, but Greg knew Quill was out.
NO guy EVER wants to listen while a girl b—ches about another girl.
I agree with you 100%, live2read.
Get used to it, Quill. This is what it will be like after you and Luann are married, too….
This is "the beginning of the end" for those two.
Just realized Tiff and Luann are using words like "sleaze" and "trampy" now. They're getting older after all.
back in the 80's, to get into australia you pretty much had to have a job lined up that no ozzie was qualified for…
Yeah – Luann the Dramaqueen may not be mature enough for marriage.

Running prime on one core ist just to avoid the CPU to enter Power-saving-States that effekt the 4k Performance. In 4k_64 it is not needed, as the Benchmark itself keeps the CPU busy.
02-16-2012 10:36 AM - edited 02-16-2012 10:47 AM
I contacted the Crucial support already. I am not sure, if that is a reason for RMA, I just dont feel comfortable with a drive, that doesn't perform as all the other drives I've seen. I even tested with another m4 on the same system, same circumstances, etc.
The results are not average:
seq read and write is just 10-20 MB/s slower, I wouldn't care.
4K is good.
4K-64 is bad. I should get about 100 MB/s higher reads and about 50 MB/s higher writes.
I used the enhanced option for secure erase.
Tha "bad" drive came with firmware 0001,
the other one with 0009.
But I didn't torture the "old" drive, as you can see in post #1 (CrystalDiskInfo).
Edit: Hello Holt.
There's a thread on the subject here but I don't think it went anywhere: http://forum.crucial.com/t5/Solid-State-Drives-SSD
Did a user help you? Say thanks by giving Kudos!
How do I know what memory to buy?
Still need help? Contact Crucial Customer Service
Remember to regularly backup your important data!
Thanks for the info on Prime95, I've never heard of that but I guess it's probably because I always have all of that power saving disabled anyway because I'm an overclocker.
I agree, it does seem like something is up with one drive, when you directly compare like that they should be the same. Are you testing each SSD by itself, from another windows install? If not you should and see if they test the same or not, IE both SSD's empty and tested from a third disk running windows, so windows is not busy on the SSD's while you test.
What about my other questions, on the drives themselves?
Thanks for the link targetbsp!
Obviously the performance drop does not only happen to me.
The other questions : Is it normal and what causes it?
@ lsdmeasasp:
I used the enhanced option for secure erase.
The "bad" drive came with firmware 0001,
the other one with 0009.
Don't know if there are other differences, 0009 working again in another computer.
02-16-2012 11:15 AM - edited 02-16-2012 11:16 AM
it doesn't, as my scores dive wlhen any thing but full cpu power is active. so, you haven't disabled c states? you said you had, but now are concerned lthat they will come back?
do not use the enhanced option. you would be writing random data to the drive, degrading it's performance. others have had issues after doing this. only use the regular internal option.
I just used the enhanced option once before starting the tests.
After that I secure erased the drives one more time without the enhanced option.
Anyway, the enhanced option shouldn't be destructive, and it didn't affect the "good" drive, as you can see from the benchmark results.
Crucial promises in the specs at least 40.000 iops read and 35.000 iops write for random 4k.
They use Iometer. I don't really know how to use that program and how to configure it to test the way Crucial does. Can anyone explain it to me or give me a link?
With AS SSD I don't get the promised iops.
in as ssd, you go by the 64Q depth results. if both of your drives have had the same things done to them, and one is performing sub par constantly, you should look toward crucial for an rma, or further instructions re your issue.

There are thousands of families in the tri-state area that need the help provided by 102.9 WMGK's 12th Annual John DeBella Turkey Drop more than ever this year. WMGK's partner in the Turkey Drop, Cityteam Philadelphia, has seen a 25% increase in new families that are signing up for holiday meal assistance this year. The Cityteam staff has been humbled by the embarrassment that many of those seeking their help have expressed. Those in need want to be able to provide for themselves but due to certain circumstances have no one else to turn to. For the third year in a row, lines stretched from inside Cityteam Philadelphia's Chester headquarters, around the block and over the 7th Street bridge.
On Tuesday November 26 from 6am to 9am, Classic Rock 102.9 WMGK's morning host, John DeBella, will broadcast live and accept monetary and turkey donations during this year's Turkey Drop at Love Park (16th & JFK). The John DeBella Turkey Drop is the largest, one day food gathering event in Philadelphia. Last year's Turkey Drop raised over 10,000 turkeys. The Turkey Drop benefits Cityteam Philadelphia, an organization that provides food and services to less fortunate individuals, families, shelters and food groups in the tri-state area.
In addition to Love Park, members of the MGK on-air staff will be spread around the tri-state area accepting donations at seven Giant Food Store locations in Pennsylvania and two Panera Bread locations in New Jersey from 6am to 9am.
The following will be accepted at all donation locations: frozen turkeys, "free turkey" coupons from any super market chain, cash donations, checks made out to Cityteam Philadelphia. No food other than turkeys can be accepted. Listeners can make a tax deductible donation online by going to the station's website, www.wmgk.com.

My daughter was seen by their Cape location for 2 years, and they definitely care more about the monetary aspect than patient care. The entire process revolves around a lot of extra charges. And I have great dental insurance.
surprise charge
by customer , 08/21/2012
Beware of surprise "behavior management charge" in excess of $125 that is not covered by insurance. If your child shows anxiety of having teeth extracted (wow , how unusual) and they have to spend more time with your child you will be charged this fee. Pediatric dentists are trained in child behavior and therefore one would assume to be more patient and understanding. At least we got an apology afterwards. I wont return to any place that charges a fee before telling me up front. sorry.
Knowledgeable, friendly staff

Re: Cataloochee
Phoneman, depending on which direction you will be coming from will be the determining factor as to how to get to Cataloochee. Let's say you are coming from Tenn. on I-40. You will take the Maggie Valley exit to the right. Just as you are ending the exit ramp you will turn again to the right and follow the signs to Cataloochee Cove. This will require you to make one turn to the left about 1/2-3/4 mi.? down the road and stay to the right on the rest of the way up the mountain. After getting back to the bottom of the mountain on the other side and in the Cove, you will bear to the left and it will bring you to the campground. From this point on you will come to several different hiking trails that are located all thru the Cove. Many of them are good and several are horse trails, so be prepared for this. Take plenty of supplies with you because it's a long way in and out to a store.

Even the best secret agents carry a debt from a past mission. Rachel Singer must now face up to hers…
Filmed on location in Tel Aviv, the U.K., and Budapest, the espionage thriller The Debt is directed by Academy Award nominee John Madden (Shakespeare in Love). The screenplay, by Matthew Vaughn & Jane Goldman and Peter Straughan, is adapted from the 2007 Israeli film Ha-Hov [The Debt]. At the 2011 Beaune International Thriller Film Festival, The Debt was honored with the Special Police [Jury] Prize.
The story begins in 1997, as shocking news reaches retired Mossad secret agents Rachel (played by Academy Award winner Helen Mirren) and Stephan (two-time Academy Award nominee Tom Wilkinson) about their former colleague David (Ciarán Hinds of the upcoming Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy). All three have been venerated for decades by Israel because of the secret mission that they embarked on for their country back in 1965-1966, when the trio (portrayed, respectively, by Jessica Chastain [The Tree of Life, The Help], Marton Csokas [The Lord of the Rings, Dream House], and Sam Worthington [Avatar, Clash of the Titans]) tracked down Nazi war criminal Dieter Vogel (Jesper Christensen of Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace), the feared Surgeon of Birkenau, in East Berlin. While Rachel found herself grappling with romantic feelings during the mission, the net around Vogel was tightened by using her as bait.
At great risk, and at considerable personal cost, the team's mission was accomplished – or was it? The suspense builds in and across two different time periods, with startling action and surprising revelations that compel Rachel to take matters into her own hands.

|30.03.2009 - Copper slips from near 5-month high
|From Theglobeandmail.com: Copper ended down Friday, backing away from a near five-month peak, as a general commodity downturn and uncertainties about the strength of real demand from manufacturers, particularly in China, weighed on values. We seem to have a little commodity malaise that's everywhere today, from gold to cocoa, said Sterling Smith, vice-president with FuturesOne in Chicago. They all had little bumps lower, which I think was just some money coming off the table.....Full Article: Source

Although this past winter in Toronto was quite mild, it seems we spend at least 2/3 of the year indoors. Late spring, summer and early fall I love to take my clients outdoors into the park to get out of the air-conditioned boxes, enjoy being in nature, catch some sun and fresh air.
You really don't need a lot of equipment. I'm lucky to live close to a few wonderful parks that have good solid branches for hanging rings and benches for other exercises. However, your own body is the best gym you have (and it's free) – there are hundreds of exercises you can do simply using your own body weight. When I do use equipment outdoors – above is a snapshot of what I like to bring:
Kettlebell, gym rings, bands, dead-weight medicine ball (not shown), a bench near by and the client themselves. Simple. Efficient.
Gym rings are one of my favorite pieces of equipment. they can be hung virtually anywhere, are inexpensive, and add a new dynamic to your workouts. Progressing various pull ups, dips, push ups and core exercises will have you seeing muscle definition in no time. I was first introduced to them at my CrossFit box and fell in love with them. Mastering these exercises gives you new appreciation for gymnasts!
If you're ready to try a workout outdoors, be sure to take into consideration the heat factor. You will need to be well hydrated – and I don't mean drinking a glass of water before the workout… I mean being well hydrated a full 24-48 hours before the workout. Bring a good electrolyte filled sports drink with you, such as activfuel+, to keep you hydrated during the workout.
Ideally you want to workout either early morning or in the late afternoon/early evening to avoid peak heat. Also try to find a shaded area to store your gear and avoid a sunburn.
Lastly, in your first workout, decrease the your normal intensity by about 25% to see how your body reacts to the various elements. A great tool is a simple heart rate monitor to track your body's response to the heat, exercise load and even your hydration. If your heart rate is abnormally high for the workout that you're doing, it's a good sign to slow down or take a break.
Now you're ready. Enjoy being outdoors!

Let the speed of the car be v, the speed of a walking person be u, and the distance between cities by L. We want to minimize T, the time t at which all persons are at displacement x=L (city B), when they all start at displacement x=0 (city A) at time t=0.
I'll assume that the solution has everyone starting out from city A at the same time t=0 arriving in city B at the same time t=T so nobody is standing around idly waiting. Let's plot everyone's movements on a graph showing coordinates (t,x). Then at time t just after 0, (N-2) walkers are on the line L0 through (0,0) with slope dx/dt = u, and 2 in the car are on a line through (0,0) with slope v, and at t just before T, (N-2) walkers are on the line L1 through (T,L) with slope u, and 2 in the car are on a line through (T,L) with slope v. Obviously L1 lies "above" L0 (greater x coordinate given the same t coordinate). In between t=0 and t=T, the car zigzags between L0 and L1 along lines of slope v and -v, picking up people from L0 and dropping them off at L1. I will not prove that this is the optimal strategy; in fact you can make an infinite number of variations on it which all come up with the same elapsed time.
Now examine the graph again. Say the car travels distance r between picking someone up and dropping that person off, and distance s back to pick up the next person. The car makes (N-1) trips forward and (N-2) trips back to pick up and ferry everyone, so its total travel is
vT = (N - 1)r + (N - 2)s = (N - 2)(r + s) + r
Moreover the car makes (r-s) net displacement on each round trip, plus r displacement on the extra forward trip, so
L = (N - 2)(r - s) + r
Note that a person walks distance (r-s) in the time it takes the car to go (r+s), so
r - s = (u/v)(r + s)
A little algebraic manipulation of this equation shows us that
r - s = r * 2u/(v + u) r + s = r * 2v/(v + u)
Plug this into the equation for L, and we get the first important piece of information, how far the car should drive before dropping off the passenger (once you know this, you tell it to the driver and this
- guarantees the people get to B in minimum time)
L = r + (N - 2) r * 2u/(v + u)
= r * (v + u + (N - 2)*2u)/(v + u)
v + u
r = ------------ L
2uN + v - 3u
- We can also find out what the elapsed time T will be
vT = (N - 2)r*2v/(v + u) + r
= r * ((N - 2)*2v + v + u)/(v + u)
1 2vN - 3v + u
T = - * ------------ r
v v + u
2vN - (3v - u)
T = -------------- (L/v)
2uN + v - 3u

© 2012 – Guilford Press
754 pages
Widely regarded as the authoritative reference in the field, this volume comprehensively reviews theory and research on the self. Leading investigators address this essential construct at multiple levels of analysis, from neural pathways to complex social and cultural dynamics. Coverage includes how individuals gain self-awareness, agency, and a sense of identity; self-related motivation and emotion; the role of the self in interpersonal behavior; and self-development across evolutionary time and the lifespan. Connections between self-processes and psychological problems are also addressed.
New to this edition:
Published by Guilford Press, only available for sale in UK/Europe for all other orders visit www.guilford.com
"Take the world's leading authorities on the psychology of the self and ask them to write about what they know best, and you have the Handbook of Self and Identity. Now in its second edition, this remarkable handbook offers the first and last word on this important subject." - Daniel Gilbert, Harvard University, Massachusetts, USA
"Understanding the nature of self – what it is and what it does – has challenged scholars for many centuries. Scientific progress in understanding the nature of self was stifled by the inherent subjectivity and ambiguity that plagued much of the early research on the topic. Fortunately, the last few decades have witnessed major strides in the scientific understanding of self-relevant processes. In this second edition, Leary and Tangney have assembled a stellar group of authors who have made important contributions to understanding the nature of self, from its biological foundations to its developmental and cultural influences. This book will serve as an invaluable resource for students and scholars alike, and it belongs on the shelf of anyone interested in self and identity." - Todd F. Heatherton, Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, USA
"Terrific. A handbook should provide a comprehensive and current review of the field it covers, and the Handbook of Self and Identity delivers in each respect. This handbook would make a fine introduction in an advanced undergraduate course (assuming knowledgeable and engaged students), and an even better review of the field for graduate students… The book is also valuable to professionals working in the areas of self and identity." - PsycCRITIQUES, Vol 49, Iss 14, December 29, 2004
"Handbook of Self and Identity is dynamite… Almost every finding relates uncannily to the issues my patients bring to sessions… The editors' care and scrutiny are evident throughout this attractive volume. The book is well-organized, well-indexed, and easy to read." - Stephen M. Thielke, Psychiatric Services, Vol 55, No 9, September 2004
"Highly recommended." - R.E. Osborne, Choice, Vol 40, No 8, April 2003
"Building on the strengths of the first edition, the editors have assembled an all-star team of experts to address classic topics and emerging areas of inquiry into the many and varied facets of self and identity. Bringing together individual and social perspectives, this handbook serves as a powerful reminder that self and identity are rooted in biological, social, and cultural contexts, and have far-reaching consequences for how people think, feel, and act as individuals and as members of relationships and groups. Quite simply, this Handbook is a 'must read.'" - Mark Snyder, University of Minnesota, USA

No Child Left Behind requires states and school districts to give parents easy-to-read, detailed report cards on schools and districts, telling them which ones are succeeding in closing the achievement gap and why. The following are excerpts from an article in yesterday's St. Petersburg Times highlighting how a school in Florida used data from their report card to know how to better target resources and help close the achievement gap:
"Principal Janet Dunleavy didn't cling to any illusions as she waited Tuesday for the release of this year's school report cards. Deltona Elementary had seen its student population balloon from around 825 on the first day of classes to nearly 1,000 by the state standardized testing date. Close to 30 percent of the students were enrolled in special education. Having failed to meet national standards for academic progress last year, Deltona stood to lose students through transfers to better-performing schools under the No Child Left Behind act.
"Then Dunleavy got the results. Deltona earned an A in the state A-Plus plan, up from last year's B, and it made adequate progress under federal guidelines. 'We really analyzed the data, and we really looked at exactly where the students were having problems. We tried to target them with resource teachers and more small-group instruction,' she said. 'We are very happy.'"

4/5/2011 //
Norway's statement to the UN Disarmament Commission (UNDC) on April 5 was presented by Minister Counsellor, Mr. Knut Langeland. In the statement he hails the UN Secretary-General's attempts to move the multilateral disarmament agenda forward, but notes that the UNDC itself is still struggling.
Mr. Chair,
Since the last session of the UNDC, there has been important progress in some areas of multilateral disarmament and non-proliferation.
Norway welcomes the positive outcome of the NPT 2010 Review Conference. It is important that we are able to follow-up on the adopted Program of Action.
While a bilateral treaty, the entry into force of the new START is an important step in building down existing nuclear arsenals with the objective to achieve their full elimination.
Norway is encouraged by the way the Mine Ban Convention and the Convention on Cluster Munitions have established and consolidated global norms prohibiting weapons that cause unacceptable harm to civilians, norms which go beyond the membership of these two legally binding multilateral instruments. Indeed, the field of humanitarian disarmament has shown that it is possible for those who are ambitious to set the agenda and achieve results in the field. This is clearly not the case for other areas of disarmament.
Norway is pleased by the initiative by the UN General Secretary to move multilateral disarmament and arms control forward. The High Level meeting in September last year reconfirmed the deep frustration of most UN member states over the long lasting impasse that has paralyzed the formalized multilateral machinery, rendering it increasingly dysfunctional. The CD is designated negotiating body, yet no negotiation has taken place for a decade and a half.
The long lasting impasse in the Conference on Disarmament denies the international community the possibility to move forward on pressing disarmament issues, and to implement important steps set out by the recent NPT Review Conference.
In addition, an entry into force of the CTBT, despite its broad support, seems not to be on the horizon.Time is also running out for the preparation of the Middle East Conference as decided by the NPT Review Conference.
The CD is struggling. The same can be said about the UNDC. The High Representative for Disarmament Affairs Sergio Duarte noted in his statement yesterday that the Commission has not been able to reach consensus for more than a decade.
My delegation agrees with USG Duarte that the fate of this year's report remains in the hands of member states, but it is clear that the working methods of the Commission also have an important impact on whether the UNDC can provide added value.
It is obvious that the UNDC has not delivered the results which were expected when the General Assembly adopted 52/492. While much can be said about member states and their lack of political will, we need to examine whether the current structure of three year cycles, two broad topics, and not least the consensual reports is the best way to make use of the Commission.
Let me assure you Mr. Chair, Norway intends to contribute in reaching consensus in this year's session of the Commission. But frankly, we are not very optimistic about the prospects. Is it feasible that the UNDC will be able to adopt a stronger language than what was agreed at the NPT Review Conference last year? Do we really believe that the UNDC will make break-through on conventional confidence building measures, small arms or ATT? If we are to reach agreement on a report, I believe that it will be a rather modest text.
Norway has on number of occasions, and not least in the First Committee, advocated a profound assessment of the Commission. We believe this is necessary, even if we were to succeed at this current session to achieve a consensus report.
Given its role as deliberative body, the UNDC should seek to stimulate discussions and build common understanding on clearly defined topics on global disarmament and non-proliferation. These topics could be set out by the First Committee.
As a deliberative body, the UNDC should not be held hostage of an outdated consensus rule. Norway believes that the outcome of the UNDC session could be a Chair's summary, reflecting the discussions, identifying areas where there might be convergence of views, and where positions are still far apart. Such an outcome may facilitate the work of the GA, the First Committee, and possibly the individual treaty bodies.
Like the CD, the UNDC is at a cross-road. If we continue with business as usual, the Commission's will be further marginalized and loose its relevance. Hopefully, there is time during this session to discuss the future role of the UNDC.

Clean Agency has been recognized by Disney Consumer Products by being bestowed with the 2010 Quality Product Award for Sustainability award. As demonstrated in the image to the left, Clean Agency reduced the packaging materials required for the Pooh plush by a whopping 80%.
The plush, manufactured by licensee Dream, continues to have the ability to be precisely positioned on store shelves (sitting on what ironically resembles a toilet in this blog's opinion) as well as offer the same amount of information, while using far less materials.
According to EnvironmentalLeader.com, the immediate savings as a result of the change is equal to about eight metric tons of cardboard annually based on the existing sales figures for the plush. Because the packaging consumes less physical space, the article also attributes additional potential savings in reduced transportation requirements.

The Connecticut Insurance Department is now able to peer into the financial activities of insurance holding companies to look for potential issues that could raise premiums and jeopardize services.
Commissioner Thomas B. Leonardi heralded the passage of two new laws that provide his department with greater financial oversight of large, globally active insurance companies and a law that he hopes will make the state more attractive to international reinsurers.
"These new laws give the Department significant supervisory tools that allow us to better understand the risks of insurance conglomerates and help prevent a repeat of the financial crisis from which we are still recovering. We also now have the ability to level the playing field for foreign reinsurers and that could result in lower costs to consumers in the long run," Leonardi said in a press release Tuesday. "I thank the Legislature for passage and Governor Malloy for his solid support of this legislation."

~Girl: No its not,please slow down
~Guy: Then tell me you love me
~Girl: I love you! Now slow down
~Guy: Now give me a big hug
~She gave him a hug
~Guy: Can you take off my helment and put it on your head, its bothering me
~In the newspaper the next day a motercycle had crashed into a building because of break failure. Two people were on it only one survived. The truth was, that half way down the road the guy relized that the breaks were broken and he didnt want the girl to know. Instead he had her hug him and tell him she loved him one last time. Then he had her put his helment on so that she would live even if it meant that he would die.
~If you would do this for the person you love copy this and put it in your profile.
This is an example of some of the poems I've written. Please comment
I lay here,
blood pouring from my wounds
to drip upon the ivory snow.
I am broken
thanks to him
I shall never heal
from the blow
he delivered to my heart.
I shall never love again.
Why must I be tortured by this?
Why must I suffer because I loved?
I lay here
doomed to die.
As the flakes of snow
fall upon my body
I think to myself.
It is better to love and be hurt
than to never love at all.
I shudder from the cold,
encased in my tomb of snow.
But soon it will be over
so I shall worry no more.
I close my eyes
to await the coming spring
when I will be found
broken, upon the snow.
What type of Fae are you?
To those who can, plz donate wanted items. I cant donate to others unless I finish mine first so tell me if you donated and I'll repay back when I finish

The Philadelphia Phillies arrived back home after a lengthy West Coast trip, but they seemingly left their hot bats in Arizona. The Phillies were again ineffective at the plate for Roy Halladay and were unable to improve their record to .500 for the first time this season.
Where do the Phillies turn to for offense? It's pretty apparent that all of Phillies Nation has given up on the idea of small ball and Charlie Manuel ever coexisting, but this is not the same lineup that just two years ago had four guys capable of 30-plus HR.
Jimmy Rollins, Shane Victorino and Co. are proven MLB players, and it was argued all offseason that these players would have difficulty changing their approach at the plate. Well, it again seems like the fans were smarter than the GM and manager and that has been proven accurate thus far.
With a struggling offense and Chase Utley and Ryan Howard still mending (for the foreseeable future), it's time to see what the player who was once thought of as "untouchable" can do at the MLB level.
Here are five reasons why the Phillies need to call up Domonic Brown.

Isn't it amazing to thing that only a decade ago we lived without Facebook, Twitter, iPhones, iPads, webcams, and most blogs? 20 years ago, the World Wide Web was about to debut—and cell phones enjoyed limited use. I bet you've checked your email, Facebook or Twitter page more than once in the last 24 hours.
You aren't the only one, once these sites became a gathering place for people—celebrities and businesses were quick to recognize them for their great viral marketing potential—befriending fans, posting tour schedules, contests, and coupons.
There is a great potential for the church to find a witness in this network of people, provide pass-along content and start spiritual conversations. Here are five ways to jump in or improve your Internet presence…
(1) Create a Facebook Profile
- What: Create a Facebook profile page for your church and various ministries. Update your pages weekly with status updates, videos, photos and links to content.
- Why: Church members can repost your status updates, messages, videos, links and photos to their own homepages. This equips them with an easy way to start online spiritual conversations using your church's thought-provoking posts, and can point them back to the source of that content: your church's profile page.
- How: Go to Facebook.com and follow steps to create a new user account.
(2) Create Facebook Event Pages
- What: Create Facebook event pages for special events, ministry launches, and sermon series.
- Why: And event page provides a central place to communicate with others about your event, and tracks RSVPs. It allows you to (1) invite church members, and (2) empowers church members to invite others.
- How: From your Facebook homepage, click "Events" in the lefthand navigation (or go directly to Facebook.com/?sk=events). Then click the button at the top to "Create an Event."
(3) Purchase Facebook Ads
- What: Facebook ads allow you space for an image, a brief amount of text, and your Web site.
- Why: Facebook ads can target a specific demographic in your local area, and are flexible to your budget.
- How: From a Facebook profile page, click on "Create an Ad" along the right-hand column, to walk through steps and view further FAQs.
(4) Open a Twitter Account
- What: Start a church Twitter account and begin "following" other people in the area. If they "follow" your church, they will also get to see what you comment about. Post seeker friendly comments and thought provoking questions to garner response. Mention any upcoming events in your feed.
- Why: When you follow unbelievers on Twitter, you show an interest in them as a church. You may be surprised how many non-churchgoers will return the "follow." As you follow others you will also get a glimpse into what is going on in the hearts, minds and daily lives of your community. As people start "following" your church, your spiritual ponderings can open up dialog with the community, and you can easily invite people to upcoming events.
- How: Go to Twitter.com and follow prompts to create a new user account. Start following friends of friends and local businesses (newspapers, favorite restaurants, local bars, etc.).
(5) Launch a Blog
- What: Start a pastor blog. Let your congregation know that you are posting further info on sermon topics, spiritual questions, or life experience, so they can join the online conversation you've started.
- Why: Allow viewers to comment on your content and share your posts with friends via Facebook and Twitter.
- How: Create a blog on your church's Web site, or use the free hosting services at BlogSpot.com or WordPress.com.
(6) Take advantage of Free Google Advertising
Is your church taking advantage of social media?

This species has been uplisted to Vulnerable because it has a small, declining population within which all subpopulations are very small, occurring at few locations within a very small Area of Occupancy. Historically large parts of its range have been lost to habitat conversion, however recent declines have been primarily driven by fires, as the species prefers mallee heath habitat which has not been recently burnt.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|Pachycephala rufogularis is restricted to eastern South Australia and adjacent north-western Victoria, Australia, with outlying populations in mallee isolates in New South Wales. The largest remaining population, in the Riverland Biosphere Reserve is estimated to contain c1,000 mature individuals, with 100-200 pairs in the Ngarkat / Big Desert / Wyperfield complex and 100 pairs in the Murray-Sunset / Hattah complex. Given that there are thought to be only small numbers in Scotia and central New South Wales, the total population is estimated to be no greater than 2,000 mature individuals (Garnett et al. 2011). Fires have driven ongoing population declines in much of the former range.

Trend Justification: The species is suspected to be declining at a rate of 20-29% over three generations (19 years) owing to deteriorating habitat quality (Garnett et al. 2011).

|Habitat and Ecology:
|The species breeds in mallee eucalypts 5-8 m tall that form an open canopy over a moderately dense and diverse shrub layer, and is usually found in habitats with spinifex Triodia hummock grassland or tall open heath, especially mallee unburned for 21-44 years or heath-dominated mallee unburned for 10-24 years (Garnett et al. 2011). Other woodland habitats are occupied outside the breeding season. It feeds on insects and other invertebrates and forages on or close to the ground.

|Major Threat(s):
|Clearance of mallee in the 19th and 20th centuries caused the loss of over half the historic range of the species. In remaining habitat, fires represent the primary current threat as the species prefers a vegetation age of at least five years after fire. Fires made 90% of Billiate Conservation Park unsuitable in 1988, as well as large tracts of Ngarkat Conservation Park and the Big Desert in 1986-1988, and a large fire burnt a substantial proportion of Taylorville Station, Riverland Biosphere Reserve in the 1990s. Over a period of 20 years, the species has been replaced by Gilbert's Whistler P. inornata at Chapman's Bore and parts of the western Murray Mallee, probably as a result of changes in habitat, however competition between the two species is thought to be secondary compared to other threats (Garnett et al. 2011). Grazing by mammalian herbivores including livestock, feral goats Capra hircus and rabbits Oryctolagus cuniculus may cause habitat degradation in some areas and predation by Red Fox Vulpes vulpes is a further potential threat (Garnett et al. 2011). Harvesting of broombush Melaleuca uncinata continues at some sites and may have negative local effects on whistler habitat (Garnett et al. 2011). Most sub-populations are now in areas managed for conservation.
|Conservation Actions:
Conservation Actions Underway
No targeted conservation action is known for this species, but the majority of remaining populations are in protected areas. Conservation Actions Proposed
Monitor trends in major sub-populations, and rates of recovery from fire. Minimise the frequency and scale of fire in occupied sites. Monitor populations at key sites, especially where management is taking place, and study the distribution and numbers outside protected areas. Research the extent of genetic isolation of geographically separated populations and the potential need for active translocations, and develop a reintroduction programme if necessary. Study the efficacy of herbivore and fox control, and the impact of broombush harvesting operations, amending harvesting protocols if necessary. Manage total grazing pressure, especially from introduced herbivores. Work with landholders outside protected areas to manage their land appropriately (Garnett et al. 2011).
