Health Professions
About Health Professions at Rowan University
Many members of the medical profession began their training at Rowan University. Over the past 20 years, more than 300 Rowan graduates have become doctors, dentists, optometrists veterinarians, podiatrists and pharmacists through the university's numerous affiliation programs. Several of these programs offer students the opportunity to complete their doctoral degrees in seven years instead of the traditional eight. Rowan students' overall acceptance rate to medical and other health professional schools ranges between 90 and 100 percent.
While there is no standard way for students to prepare for entrance into medical school, there are a number of different approaches that can be taken by Health Professions students to prepare them for the next step. The defining characteristic of these approaches is that they are developed as the result of an ongoing conversation between a student, his or her academic advisor, and the Health Professions advisor, who provides advice based on the recommendations of the Health Professions Committee - a group of professors from various disciplines who make it their job to pay attention to acceptance trends for various medical schools and disciplines.
It is never too early to begin thinking about planning out your education in a way that will enhance your chances of getting into medical school. Whether you're thinking of allopathic medicine, veterinary medicine, osteopathic medicine dentistry or allied health programs, having a plan early on will be invaluable to you later. You can start this process by talking to your advisor. If you do not yet have an advisor, or do not know who your advisor is, you can also contact the current Health Professions Advisor.
Here are some general guidelines that may be useful to you:

Here are answers to some commonly asked questions about Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath:
Why is the price of gasoline rising at every station every day, when several days go by between gasoline deliveries to the stations?
According to Fred Rozell, retail pricing director of the Oil Price Information Service, wholesalers generally adjust prices to retailers based on the daily closing price of gasoline sold on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Changes at the pump reflect the new wholesale price retailers pay. So gas stations don't charge customers based on what they paid for that gasoline, but for the cost of replacing it. Retailers also factor in what nearby competitors are charging and changes in overhead costs. For example, as the price of gas rises, more customers use credit cards. Retailers may boost prices to reflect the credit card fees they must pay.
Has deployment of so many National Guard troops to Afghanistan and Iraq hampered hurricane response?
Undoubtedly. When 3,700 members of Louisiana's 256th Mechanized Infantry Brigade were sent to Iraq 11 months ago, they took with them many high-water vehicles and generators, all of which would help in relief efforts. About 3,500 Guard troops from Mississippi are serving near Karbala and Najaf, and more than 2,000 troops from Alabama are deployed overseas.
If the National Guard needed reinforcements to keep the peace in New Orleans, why not send in the regular Army?
Because of an 1878 federal law known as Posse Comitatus. It largely prohibits the use of the military as a domestic police force. The National Guard, on the other hand, is the state militia until activated for regular military duty. A state militia is under command of the state's governor, not the president, and is not subject to the Posse Comitatus restrictions.
Why were the levees protecting New Orleans allowed to sink into such disrepair?
New Orleans has long known it was vulnerable to flooding in a direct hit from a hurricane. The federal government began working with state and local officials in the late 1960s on hurricane and flood relief efforts. When flooding from a rainstorm in May 1995 killed six people, Congress authorized the Southeast Louisiana Urban Flood Control Project, or SELA. Over the next 10 years, the Army Corps of Engineers spent $430-million on shoring up levees and building pumping stations, with $50-million in local aid. But at least $250-million in crucial projects remained, even as hurricane activity in the Atlantic Basin increased dramatically and the levees surrounding New Orleans continued to weaken. After 2003, the flow of federal dollars toward SELA evaporated because of the spending pressures of the war in Iraq, as well as homeland security and federal tax cuts.
How can someone whose car disappeared in the storm make a claim for the loss, since there's no way to prove it is missing?
Once flood waters have subsided and insurance adjusters can get into devastated areas, they will conduct what Allstate calls "an exhaustive search" for vehicles and then attempt through state records to match them with owners using the Vehicle Identification Numbers. Once the matches are made, claims will be paid. If vehicles are never found, owners are simply out of luck. "We can't pay a claim unless we can lay eyes on the vehicle," one claims agent said.
What is the latest estimate of losses due to Hurricane Katrina?
Losses of insured property are estimated as high as $35-billion, but that figure is growing. Total losses are estimated at more than $100-billion.
Why aren't the homeless in New Orleans being airlifted out, which would be faster than busing them to Texas?
Relief flights donated by airlines began to fly into Louis Armstrong International Airport in New Orleans at a rate of about four an hour Friday. Transportation Department spokesman Greg Martin said the planes are bringing in supplies and leaving with people. Most of the flights will take evacuees to Lackland Air Force Base in Texas. The first flight on Friday, he said, was a Spirit Airlines MD-83.
When those who evacuated New Orleans are allowed to return, what will they do for jobs?
If and when rebuilding begins, there will be work for those in the building trades, but overall, the unemployment rate is expected to spike to 25 percent or more. Many who leave may opt to resettle elsewhere.
What impact has the storm had on wildlife?
That has yet to be assessed, but based on past storms, it can be expected that immobile marine species such as mussels and oysters will have been wiped out. In 1992, Hurricane Andrew killed an estimated 25 percent of Louisiana's oyster seed beds and killed an estimated 184-million fish in south Louisiana's Atchafalaya Basin alone. Upland terrestrial habitats can be flooded or inundated, washing away or drowning their resident small mammals such as rabbits and mice. Nesting rookeries, including the eggs and young, of colonial water birds (herons, seagulls, pelicans) can be destroyed.
Who is helping domestic animals lost or left behind in the storm?
There are several agencies engaged in animal relief. Go to www.yahoo.com and look on the left side of the page for "Hurricane Katrina Relief Efforts." Click on "Network for Good." The page lists agencies, including the Humane Society, accepting donation to help lost pets.

Desperate measures to quell rhino crisis
Published March 18, 2012
Isabelle Anne Abraham
GRAHAMSTOWN, South Africa, April 12 (UPI) -- In late February, four South Africa National Parks officials were arrested for involvement in rhino poaching. Only a few days later, dehorned rhinos in a private reserve were butchered for just a stub of horn.
It's a growing problem in the region, as east Asian consumer demand for horn grows -- to treat headaches, rheumatism and other conditions -- and poachers grow more brazen in their attacks.
A few private reserves and rhino conservation groups have tried dehorning rhinos, poisoning horns and embedding tracking technologies, but these methods have not been as effective as expected.
"Tracking devices are of limited value," said Wilhelm Schack, a wildlife veterinarian and ecologist from Eko Wild. "In the guerrilla-type warfare of the poaching world ... poachers have long killed the animal and disappeared with the horns by the time you have tracked down the animal with your high-tech equipment."
A new method is needed, said John Hume, owner of one of the world's largest private rhino herd.
"We have failed to halt poaching with moratoriums, trade bans, punitive legislation, eastern educational campaigns, increased anti-poaching methods and whatever else we have been doing," he said.
There's one unlikely option left: Legalizing the horn trade.
Despite the ban on the horn trade, trophy hunting is allowed in South Africa. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species limits the hunt to five black male rhinos a year in South Africa.
But that hunting permit system has been abused, said Pelham Jones, chairman of the Private Rhino Owners' Association. Traders post as trophy hunters, kill more than is allowed and sell the horns, he said.
But people shouldn't confuse rhino hunting with the rhino horn trade, said Michael Kock, a veterinarian who works for the Wildlife Conservation Society.
"Rhino sport hunting is inappropriate under the current circumstances and should not be linked to rhino horn trade," he said. "Rhino horn regenerates, so a live rhino is more valuable than a dead rhino."
Hume, the private herd owner, said the ban on horn trade has led to an increase in poaching, driving the price "unnecessarily high" by making horn artificially scarce.
A single rhino horn can fetch up to $250,000, making it worth more than gold or cocaine, said William Fowlds, co-owner of the Amakhala Game Reserve.
Even so, the natural mortality rate of rhinos yields enough horn to supply the market, Hume said.
"African conservation agencies and private farmers already hold between 15 and 30 years' supply of rhino horn at the current rate of black market supply," Hume said. "These stockpiles are worth millions of dollars. The best way to ensure the rhino's future is to make live rhino as economically valuable as possible."
To illustrate the possibilities of the legal horn trade, Tanya Jacobsen, campaign manager at RhinoDotCom, points to the story of the vicuna, an animal similar to a llama in the Andean Highlands. In the mid-1960s, high demand for its fine wool had brought the species to the brink of extinction, she said.
But a campaign formed to pay local communities to protect vicuna populations and gather the wool sustainably, she said. Today, almost 350,000 survive -- up from a low of about 6,000.
Legalizing the horn trade would be a full-term solution to market demands, said Jones of the Private Rhino Owners' Association. In a legal trade environment, the only horns sold would be from rhinos that die naturally or which are properly dehorned.
But some rhino advocates are uneasy about the idea.
"Advocates of legalizing the horn trade are usually the ones with large numbers of rhinos who want to be able to sell their product, so there is an element of business or greed involved," said Jacques Flamand, project lead of the WWF Black Rhino Range Expansion Project. "But they do also want to see a stop to the black market sale of horn."
But even if done legally, frequent dehorning can cause problems, said Carol Harnwell, who is involved with the group Outraged South African Citizens Against Poaching. Dehorning leaves mothers unable to defend their calves, and makes it difficult for rhinos to forage for food, she said.
And frequent anesthetizing to harvest horns can endanger the rhino's health, she said. Rhinos have died during so-called safe dehorning procedures, she said.
Even if the horn trade is legalized, it would take 6-10 years to change regulations by which time rhinos could have vanished, the Wilderness Foundation said in a submission to government officials in January.
Recent South African Department of Environmental Affairs statistics confirm 159 poaching incidents in the first four months of 2012, more than one-quarter of the 448 reported for all of 2011. There have already been 90 poaching-related arrests made this year.
In early March, Andrew Muir, director of the Wilderness Foundation, asked the U.S. Congress for money to help strengthen and expand rhino law enforcement, improve DNA profiling of rhinos and prosecute poachers.
Without international help, Muir said, "South Africa might not be known as the country that hosted the 2010 Soccer World Cup but the country that allowed its rhino to become extinct through lack of action."

10 Major League Towns Where Baseball Doesn't Cost a Bundle
MLB ticket prices average $27.48 this year, according to Team Marketing Report. That said, we're not going to sit here and pretend that the sport that calls itself the national pastime is only about as costly as some peanuts and Cracker Jack. Major League Baseball's top-money tickets can fetch an average of $50 or more, and that's before you get into the ballpark, where the smallest size of the cheapest beer in the place goes for what you'd pay for a six pack of IPA anywhere outside the stadium.
Still, baseball's admission price is little more than half that of NBA ticket ($50.99), slightly less than half the cost of a ticket to an NHL game ($61.01) and well below the price you'd spend on any given Sunday in the NFL ($78.38). So what if it's also 1.8% higher than last year? There are still roughly a dozen teams in the league with average ticket prices less than $25.
We scanned the league and found 10 cities where the average Major League Baseball where the average ticket price is not only cheap but, in five cities, will get you some change back if you hand the folks at the ticket booth a $20 bill:

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (March 24, 2012) – The U.S. women's team of Jennifer Snyder and Heather Hughes has reached the semifinals of the NORCECA Beach Volleyball Tour event in Seven Miles Beach, Grand Cayman, the opening event of the 2012 series.
Snyder (Glendale, Ariz.) and Hughes (Fallbrook, Calif.) took two victories in the winners' bracket on Saturday to reach Sunday's semifinals, where they will face the Mexico-1 team of Marta Revueltas and Vanessa Virgen. In the other semifinal, the Mexico-2 team of Bibiana Candelas and Mayra Garcia will play Puerto Rico's Yarleen Santiago and Yamileska Yantin.
After going 1-0 on Friday, Snyder and Hughes opened Saturday with a 21-12, 21-9 victory in 33 minutes over Brenda Allen and Shanicia Dyer of Saint Kitts. Next, they sent Santiago and Yantin to the consolation bracket with a 21-15, 11-21, 15-13 win in 55 minutes.

Team USA's relentless spirit earns hard-fought draw against Argentina at Four Nations Tournament
U.S. tied Argentina,London silver medalists, 1-1, in the third match of the second Four Nations Tournament in Tauranga
Tauranga, New Zealand – April 20, 2013 – In a gripping, buzzer-beater finish the U.S. Women's National Team tied world ranked No. 2 Argentina, 1-1, in the final match of the second Four Nations tournament in Tauranga, New Zealand. The game began with one-way traffic leading to Team USA's defensive circle and ultimately earning Argentina a penalty corner within the first few minutes of the game who withheld any coy ball play from the starting whistle, attacking the net with tenacity. Team USA goalkeeper No. 31 Jackie Kintzer (Robesonia, Pa.) absorbed the direct shot and kept U.S.'s defense patient with pressure against Argentina's frontline.
"It's always a great competition," said Kintzer. "They bring their best game when they play against us, and we bring our best game against them. It's always a battle and a fun game to play in. We held our own in the beginning and picked up momentum at the game went on. We could have gotten a win but were happy to end in a tie today. We are constantly getting better each game."
With two minutes left in the first half, Argentina's No. 12 Delfina Merino exposed a pocket in U.S.'s defense and drove to the baseline to deliver a low reserve chip to the left corner of the USA cage closing the first period. Heading out of halftime down 0-1, USA's attack utilized its speed and intensity to gain waves of momentum. The ball flew from end line to end line while the seconds wound down to the last minute of play in the last half. A penalty corner was awarded to Team USA where no. 8 Rachel Dawson (Berlin, N.J.) fired a direct shot from the top of the circle, zipping past Argentina's corner unit and into the back of the cage with 33 seconds left in the game. The game concluded in a 1-1 tie, a result displaying growth and relentlessness for the young U.S. squad. Previously in the Four Nations Tournament the U.S. had fallen to Argentina twice.
"It was a stronger performance today," said U.S. Head Coach Craig Parnham. "The group looked more organized on defense and it was good to see us create more opportunities than in previous games. We showed great character in the second half and were awarded with a late penalty corner."
Team USA will face Korea on Sunday, April 21 for bronze at the Four Nations Tournament, while New Zealand once again secured a spot in the finals, this time against Argentina, after a 5-1 win over Korea. The bronze medal match will be played at 3:00 p.m. local time with the final set to start at 5:00 p.m. Sunday's finale will be streamed live on the Hockey New Zealand website.

By MICHELE MILLER
Published May 13, 2007
She came to me in a dream last week, as only those who have passed on can.
It was one of those frantic dreams - the kind that launches you back to places like that dreaded high school math class or the job you had waiting tables when you were in your 20s. Try as you may, you just can't figure the answers on that pop quiz or get the food to the ticked-off customers fast enough.
As with those "harmless" night terrors, I woke up breathless from this one, heart pounding and trying to pull the foggy details into perspective before they slipped away with the breaking day.
REM had me making breakfast for a crowd of family and friends in my parents' kitchen with the dark walnut cabinets and red Formica counter that was the style all those years ago. The eggs were burning and I was spilling powdery pancake mix all over the floor.
Do a dream analysis and it could be a metaphor for the fear of failure I keep under cover in my waking hours.
But there in the foggy fray was the image of my mother telling me, "You can do this."
She died 22 years ago, on May 10, just a few days before Mother's Day. "What a gift, " I thought back then with relief, after witnessing the painful year of deterioration the brain tumor had rendered.
Now all these years later I find myself thinking the same thing - for a different reason.
While growing up, my sisters and I used to gripe that my parents didn't have children, rather indentured servants - particularly after Mom re-entered the work force and the bulk of the domestic duties landed squarely on us. But in the end, as these things often do, it turned out all right.
You see, one of the things my mother did well was to raise three daughters with a flair for the culinary arts. We all know how to feed a family - even on a limited budget.
It began at a tender age, when daily chores were laid out in her awfully handwritten notes left on the kitchen table.
For me it started with the simple tasks of setting the table, peeling potatoes or making the tossed salad that was a dinnertime staple. Growing older meant moving on to the responsibility of preparing the entree.
That was a little shaky at first, especially with the famed boiled ham debacle, which made me the butt of family jokes because I neglected to remove the ham from the plastic wrapper before cooking.
Even so, under my mother's instruction, I learned how to make a tomato sauce that is way better than the jarred kind, German potato salad, Yorkshire pudding and other family favorites that had been passed down through the generations.
Later I delved into cookbooks on my own to prepare things such as rhubarb pie from the tall red stalks that grew in our backyard garden and a rather tasty mustard-crusted roast lamb with zinfandel gravy.
The kitchen is now my comfortable foray - one I see encompassing a younger generation who have inherited their own daily chore list.
I'm a working mom, too, now.
So for the youngest daughter that means having to set the table, toss up a green salad or mash avocados, garlic and lime juice to make her signature guacamole.
And every Tuesday evening, on her dinner night, the 16-year-old has us eating with chopsticks as she ventures into the art of Asian cuisine all on her own.
The eldest - well, he's out of the house now - but on occasion he whips up a mean shrimp scampi, lays claim to making the "best chocolate chip cookies ever" and can make tomato sauce that's way better than the jarred kind.
So, yes, I'm thinking, "What a gift."

After playing German strip clubs and smelly vegetable warehouses for five years, the Beatles entered Studio 2 at Abbey Road and, with session drummer Andy White on drums and Ringo on maracas, recorded their first single, "Love Me Do". Encouraged by its modest chart success (it reached #17), they recorded "Please Please Me". After doing so, producer George Martin told the band, "Gentlemen, you've just made your first number one," and decided to immediately record an album. Please Please Me was recorded on February 11, 1963 in its entirity - in 585 minutes - while John was suffering from a cold and had a sore throat. Please Please Me hung atop the British charts for 30 weeks, but, in America - released as Introducing The Beatles and without "Please Please Me" and "Ask Me Why" - did not even chart. The enormous success of the album in Britian landed them their own radio program and numerous TV appearances.

Pics of Paul with Members of The Rolling Stones, 1967
I came across these pics on a thread of Paul McCartney pics on the Official Paul McCartney Forum. Were these pics taken when John and Paul hung out with the Rolling Stones who were in the recording studio that day, and ended up singing backing vocals on "We Love You" on May 18, 1967? Wouldn't have John been in the pics, too?

Mosaid Technologies this week introduced HLSSD (HyperLink solid-state drive), a SSD that achieves terabyte-class storage capacity using a single controller device. The solid-state drive utilizes Mosaid's proprietary HLNAND technology. The developer hopes that its HLSSDs will become cost-efficient high-performance storage solutions for enterprises.
Mosaid's prototype HLSSD utilizes a single FPGA-based Serial ATA III controller to deliver 2TB capacity over four HLNAND channels, with 16 32GB HLNAND flash MCPs (multi-chip packages) per channel. In comparison, a conventional 2TB SSD requires four SATA controllers, plus a Serial ATA III hub controller, operating over 32 channels.
HLNAND flash is a proprietary high-performance solution that combines Mosaid's own HyperLink memory technology with industry standard NAND flash cell technology to deliver advanced feature set, reaching sustained I/O input-output bandwidths more than ten times higher than conventional flash, according to Mosaid.
Mosaid's terabyte-class HLSSDs are optimized for data centers and the enterprise. Based on HLNAND (HyperLink NAND) technology, Mosaid's HLSSDs deliver scalability, performance, reliability and cost advantages over SSDs that use conventionally designed NAND flash devices.
Today's data centers are designed with up to four tiers of storage devices: lower cost, lower performance tape drives and Serial ATA HDDs, and higher cost, higher performance SAS HDDs and SSDs. This architecture necessitates advanced intelligence in the storage arrays to determine which data to allocate to the faster SAS HDDs and SSDs.
With Mosaid's terabyte-class HLSSDs, only two storage tiers are needed: Serial ATA HDDs and HLSSDs. As a result, the requirement for advanced intelligence is reduced, as is the total costs of ownership, including power, footprint, cooling, maintenance and other elements, according to the company.
"Our affordable and scalable terabyte-class HLSSDs will be an enabling technology in data center and enterprise applications. HLSSDs can be used to build large, fast storage pools that lower the total cost of ownership by reducing the number of storage tiers, and minimizing the need for advanced intelligence in the storage arrays," said Jin-Ki Kim, vice president of research and development at Mosaid.
In mid-2013, Mosaid plans to release a 2TB/4TB/8TB production HLSSD that will use a purpose-built HLNAND flash controller in 40nm process technology.

El Anatsui, Hovor II, 2004. Woven aluminum bottle caps and copper wire. Museum purchase, James J. and Eileen D. Ludwig Endowment Fund, Virginia Patterson Fund, Charles Frankel Philanthropic Fund and various tribute funds, 2004.109
This event is expired.
Fold Crumple Crush: The Art of El Anatsui by Susan Vogel (2011, 53 min.).
Filmed over three years in Venice, Nsukka, and the United States, this is a powerful portrait of Africa's most widely acclaimed contemporary artist, El Anatsui. Fold Crumple Crush gives an insider's view of the artist's practice and of the ingenious steps and thousands of hours of labor that convert used bottle tops into huge, opulent wall hangings. Anatsui explains how his artworks have become a marriage of painting and sculpture—objects that speak of African history but also reach for the ethereal—and he talks about his aspirations for artworks he has yet to make.

In the context of this historic first meeting of Arctic Council Ministers, UNEP would like to mark the sad passing of one colleague, Mr. Tony Edwards, and the arrival of another, UNEP's new Executive Director, Dr. Klaus Toepfer.
Both have worked hard to strengthen UNEP's role in fostering international consensus and action on emerging environmental challenges. Both have shown a personal commitment to the Arctic region.
Within the United Nations system, UNEP has been given increasing authority to co-ordinate the environmental dimension of sustainable development. This requires UNEP to be even more concerned with the concept and practical implications of linkages-linkages between scientific and socio-economic assessments, linkages between the results of those assessments and policy development/implementation, linkages between regional and global environmental agendas; linkages between polluting activities in one region and adverse impacts in another region; linkages between human settlements and the environment; linkages between public and private sector interests; linkages among the legal regimes dealing with environmental concerns; and linkages among the environmental programmes and activities of relevant institutions.
Moving to a more concrete level, UNEP provides direct support to the work of the Arctic Council through its GRID office in Arendal, Norway. UNEP would like to thank the Norwegian government for its continued support to GRID-Arendal which enables UNEP to maintain a strong link between Arctic and global environmental issues.
A good example of this link is the interaction between the Arctic Council working groups (specifically AMAP, CAFF and PAME) and UNEP's Global Environmental Outlook (GEO) reporting process. The second GEO report, which will be published next summer, incorporates many of the outputs from these working groups. This cooperation helps to raise the profile of the Arctic as an important region in itself, and as an indicator region for the rest of the world. It also ensures scientifically credible and cost-efficient harmonisation of the work of the Arctic Council and UNEP's global environmental assessments.
Through the arrangement with the Government of Norway, and additional support from UNEP's headquarters, GRID-Arendal continues to support the work of AMAP and CAFF. The AMAP assessment report, presented at this meeting, is a result of over two years continuous collaboration, and UNEP is providing additional funding to make the report available on the Internet and CD-ROM.
In the past twelve months, GRID-Arendal has been active in assisting CAFF with its Circumpolar Protective Area Network and has worked with CAFF to develop an outline communications strategy for the entire CAFF programme. GRID-Arendal is currently working with the Russian CAFF delegation and the World Conservation Monitoring Centre (WCMC) in the UK to assess gaps in the network of Russian Arctic protected areas. UNEP would encourage governments to support the extension of this work to cover the whole Arctic region.
UNEP continues to support the active dissemination of data and information through modern technologies such as the Internet. GRID-Arendal hosts homepages for both CAFF and AMAP as well as a number of the Observers to this process. From the databases of GRID-Arendal, direct access is provided to Arctic environmental data and information that the general public can download for their own information and use. GRID-Arendal is also an active member of the International Arctic Environmental Data Directory (ADD) circumpolar initiative, where all Arctic Countries and other countries with Arctic interests, are linked to provide open, seamless access to thousands of Arctic data sets and information products.
UNEP actively supports the work of indigenous peoples in the Russian Arctic region. Together with the Arctic Council's Indigenous Peoples Secretariat, GRID-Arendal was instrumental in organising the first ever gathering of Russian indigenous peoples' leaders to discuss environmental threats to their traditional lifestyles. A draft report from this seminar, held in Moscow during March 1998, is available for viewing here. Copies of the report in final print will be sent to all participants at this meeting within the next month. Another anticipated UNEP publication, Cultural and Spiritual Values of Biodiversity, reflects the views of indigenous peoples from the Arctic and other regions. UNEP strongly supports the importance of full indigenous participation in the Arctic Council. Throughout the years, UNEP has found that indigenous peoples have solutions to many of the challenges facing the world, and they can and should play a key role in ensuring a sustainable future for the Arctic region.
UNEP has continued its efforts to protect human health and the environment from the dangers of persistent organic pollutants (POPs). During a recent Diplomatic Conference jointly convened by UNEP and FAO (Rotterdam, 10-11 September 1998), governments adopted and signed a new convention on the application of prior informed consent to international trade in certain hazardous chemicals. Signed by 60 countries, including several from this region, the convention covers a number of POPs and will help to prevent unwanted shipments of such chemicals to developing countries. UNEP's efforts to assist governments in the development of a POPs convention by the year 2000 are on track. An expert group established to develop science-based criteria and a procedure for identifying additional POPs as candidates for future international action is scheduled to meet from 26 to 30 October 1998 in Bangkok. A second Inter-governmental Negotiating Committee meeting, scheduled to be held from 8 to 12 February 1999 in Geneva, will discuss a draft convention text which UNEP has been asked to prepare.
To help Governments to prepare for POPs negotiations and identify issues relevant to the 12 POPs at the regional and national levels, UNEP and the Intergovernmental Forum on Chemical Safety convened a series of awareness raising workshops during 1997-98 which reached a total of 138 developing countries and countries with economies in transition, including the Russian Federation. With a recent workshop in Moscow (14-17 July 1998), UNEP now is beginning a second round of workshops to explore practical POPs identification and elimination/reduction mechanisms. Other POPs-related activities include: an Internet-based POPs Clearinghouse; a report on POPs regulation; an inventory of information sources on POPs; a draft handbook on analytical methods for monitoring POPs in effluents, environmental media and human tissues; ongoing case studies on how countries have identified POPs and reduced/eliminated their releases into the environment; a planned global characterisation of the releases and levels of POPs; an Internet-based expert system for identifying safe alternatives to POPs; draft guidelines for the identification of PCB-containing material; a planned inventory of global PCB destruction capacity; and draft guidelines for identifying the sources of release of dioxins and furans. Additional information on POPs can be found at
UNEP congratulates the Council on PAME's work to produce a Regional Programme of Action for the Protection of the Marine Environment from Land-based Activities. Once adopted, we would urge the Council to support its full implementation as a means to control and reduce land-based activities that pollute to the Arctic marine environment. The link between this Regional Programme and UNEP's Global Programme of Action should be strengthened with the imminent establishment of a 10-person GPA technical office in The Hague, and UNEP would encourage information exchange and active collaboration between this office and the Council.
In addition to the above, programmatic linkages between UNEP and the Council could be made in the areas of environmental impact assessment (both legal and technical aspects), environmental emergencies (early warning, preparedness and response), pollutant release and transfer registers, cleaner production, sustainable tourism, environmental law and dispute avoidance/settlement. UNEP would be interested in communicating further with the Council about how this cooperation might be effected.
Yesterday we celebrated International Ozone Day. Today we celebrate the first Ministerial meeting of this Council.

Meatloaf with Mustard and Sour Cream Gravy
Recipe courtesy of Melissa d'Arabian
- Ten Dollar Dinners
- 3 strips bacon
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 3/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons minced yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Kosher and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 Italian sausages, casings removed (mild or spicy)
- 1 pound 80/20 ground beef
- Mustard and Sour Cream Gravy, recipe follows
- Special equipment: glass loaf pan
- Mustard and Sour Cream Gravy:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 onion, minced
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef stock
- 3 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Line the glass loaf pan with the bacon, centering the strips lengthwise in the pan, letting the ends hang over the short edge.
Lightly beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add the ketchup and sour cream and mix. Add the breadcrumbs, onions and garlic, stirring to incorporate, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix in the sausage, breaking it up to season the egg mixture evenly. Mix in the ground beef, using your hands to mix gently but thoroughly. Press the meatloaf mixture firmly into the loaf pan with the bacon, shaping the meat into a loaf shape. Unmold the meatloaf by turning the pan upside-down, and tapping the bottom to release the meatloaf. Tuck the bacon under the loaf, and place it bacon-side up on a foiled or parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until the meat registers 160 degrees F, 50 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with Mustard and Sour Cream Gravy.
In a saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat, add the onions and saute until the onions are soft, about 6 minutes. Sprinkle the flour on top of the onions and cook for 1 minute, stirring. Turn up the heat to medium-high and whisk in the stock and 1/2 cup water. Cook at a simmer, whisking frequently, until the gravy begins to thicken. Turn off the heat and whisk in the sour cream, and then the mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Taste before adding salt and pepper. Serve on the meatloaf.

Barnes & Noble, one of the largest book sellers in the world, this week announced its own e-book reader. The forthcoming Nook electronic book reader has a number of clear advantages over existing devices both in terms of features and in terms of services. But while it is relatively uneasy for technology companies to catch up in terms of features, in terms of services Barnes & Noble's device may remain unachievable.
Barnes & Noble Nook e-book reader is based on Google Android platform, measures by 7.7" x 4.9" x 0.5" (196.2mm x 126mm x 12.8mm), weighs 11.2 ounces (317 grams), features black and white 6" e-ink Vizplex screen with undisclosed resolution, 3.5" colour touch-screen for navigation, 2GB of onboard flash memory for books or news-papers (microSD port also available) and up to 10 days of battery life with wireless connectivity off. The device features AT&T's wireless EDGE/HSDPA/UMTS mobile broadband connectivity as well as Wi-Fi support to download the content everywhere. The Nook will be able to playback MP3 music, display photographs using its black and white screen.
The main advantages that Barnes & Noble's Nook offers compared to other e-book readers is access to more than a million titles, 500 thousand free e-books, exclusive content and unique ability to lend books to friends (who use Nook services on platforms like Apple iPhone/iPod, select Blackberry or Motorola phones, PC, etc) for up to 14 days, something that other e-book devices lack completely.
"We asked our customers what they wanted in an e-book reader, and specifically designed nook to be the most full-featured, fun, stylish and easy-to-use e-book reader on the market. With our nationwide footprint, Barnes & Noble customers can see, touch and hold nook. Our 40 000 booksellers are ready to help customers discover how easy it is to download and read e-books on Nook, and what a pleasure it is to have access to their favorite e-books, magazines and newspapers anytime and anywhere," said William J. Lynch, president of Barnes & Noble.
Unfortunately, Nook still has two major disadvantages of Amazon Kindle: it works and is available only in the U.S. (there is an international version of Kindle 2 is available in over 100 countries) and it costs $259, quite a lot for a device that does not feature truly state-of-the-art technologies.
With Barnes & Noble entering the e-book market the competition will intensify automatically. It remains to be seen whether the competition will drive down the pricing of e-book readers as well as electronic books, but it looks like the market does have a huge potential.

Isaksen Moves on to Final in Hungarian World Cup
Székesfehérvár, Hungary. Beijing Olympian Margaux Isaksen today continued a successful 2009 World cup season by qualifying for the final of World Cup 3 which will be held on Saturday, May 16. Coming off a top ten finish (9th) in Mexico City last month, she easily qualified by finishing sixth in her qualifying group of 26 athletes today (May 14).
Isaksen started the day in the fencing hall in tied with two other competitors in twelfth place by scoring only one touch below 800 points. She moved up two places after swimming a personal best performance in the 50 meter long pool and finishing third in her qualifying group. The highlight of the day for Isaksen was a third place finish in the combined run/shoot event. This performance moved her up to a sixth place overall spot in her qualifying group. Complete results can be found at the UIPM website by clicking HERE or the website of CARDSYS by clicking HERE.
Head coach Janusz Peciak was very pleased with Isaksen's efforts in today's semi-final especially since she achieved personal best performances in the swimming and the combined events. Peciak and Isaksen will join the rest of the USA Pentathlon national team for the continuation of a training camp in Warsaw, Poland where Will Brady, Dennis Bowsher, and Sam Sacksen have been training since their World Cup in Budapest (May 8-10).
Isaksen will begin the competition on Saturday (May 16) at 8 am CET in the fencing hall. Check the UIPM website on Saturday for updates and livestreaming video coverage of the top eighteen riders and the complete combined event. Coverage is scheduled for 2 pm CET (6 hours ahead of EDT), but be sure to check the site for updated times.

NFL right tackles are asked to be dynamic now more than ever before as defenses evolve into better-balanced pass-rushing attacks. The left tackles may make all the money, but right tackles are quickly becoming just as important. But who does it best?
Our B/R NFL 1,000 series is back, taking a look at each position by scouting, charting, grading and finally ranking each player based on his 2012 season.
The B/R 1,000 metric is based heavily on scouting each player and grading the key criteria for each position. The criteria are weighted according to importance for a possible best score of 100. Potential and past accomplishments are not taken into account.
Offensive linemen are judged on pass-blocking (50 points) and run-blocking (50 points). Everything else that goes into the position—quickness, strength, vision, technique—can be grouped into those two categories.
In the case of ties, I have asked myself, "Which player would I rather have on my team?" and set the rankings accordingly. Subjective? Yes. But ties are no fun.
Each player was scouted by myself and a team of experienced evaluators, with these key criteria in mind. The following scouting reports and grades are the work of months of film study from our team.
All statistics from Pro Football Focus. Players' heights, weights and seasons in the NFL are from NFL.com.

Rolls-Royce's New Model Is a Wraith
SAN DIEGO (TheStreet) -- Rolls-Royce will unveil a car model in March that industry insiders say will likely cost at least $300,000 and compete directly with the Bentley Continental GT.
Company representatives declined to confirm specific details about the model, named Wraith, which is to be presented to the public March 5 at the Geneva Motor Show. But its release is noteworthy for a manufacturer that doesn't regularly roll out new models.
"It is something we're excited about. This is definitely new territory," says Kristina Marchitto, head of corporate communications for Rolls-Royce North America.
Rolls-Royce's current collection includes the Phantom, released in 2003 and the Ghost, released in 2009. The Phantom, Rolls-Royce's most expensive model line, includes the Phantom, Phantom Extended Wheelbase, Phantom Drophead Coupe and Phantom Coupe. The Ghost models include the Ghost and Ghost Extended Wheelbase.
The Wraith's development is based in large part on feedback from current Rolls-Royce owners, company representatives say.
"Our Phantom owners and Ghost owners said 'We want something different,'" says Oleg Satanovsky, a Rolls-Royce product specialist.
"There's still new areas for us in terms of market share and what we provide the client," he says.
Ben Timmins, associate Web editor for Automotive Magazine, predicts Wraith is the long-rumored sporty version of the Ghost. With that in mind, Timmins suspects it will "pump out 600 horsepower thanks to a turbocharged V-12 engine, and cost at least $300,000."
The Wraith's launch revives a model name the company last used in 1939 and is another sign of the luxury car market's immunity to the economic woes affecting many other industries -- even other automotive manufacturers.
"When you look at economic trending in car buying ... obviously mass-market cars trend along with consumer confidence," Timmins said. "But once you get past $100,000 that correlation wanes, and Rolls-Royce knows that."
The past few years have been extremely profitable for Rolls-Royce. Last year the company delivered 3,575 cars to customers, the highest annual sales in Rolls-Royce's 108-year history and a third consecutive record year for the company.
Rolls-Royce is expected to release more information about the Wraith over the next few weeks, leading up to the Geneva Motor Show.
First deliveries of the Wraith are expected in the fourth quarter of 2013.

If you dare nothing, then when the day is over, nothing is all you will have gained
I wonder if you potters ever get your equivalent of "writer's block?" I've been going through a pretty fearsome stretch of such, from a shooter's perspective.
I'm trying to find inspiration in others' work, spending time looking through photographic essays and books, paging through flickr, trying different ways of post processing, but everything I do lately, (which admittedly is not much,) feels flat and uninspired. This has been going on for months. It started last year when there were several instances very close together, of people stealing my photos for their own use.
I know it's unreasonably idealistic of me to expect everyone to behave honestly, but it kind of knocked me down. Immediately following those incidents, I had a rather frustrating experience with someone requesting photos for commerical use, being unwilling/unable to give me specific parameters, then being unsatisfied with everything I offered and repeatedly asking me to "try again."
Within the same week as this was happening, I entered a chat room and upon scrolling back through the conversation (you know how one does to find out what's happening at the moment,) I discovered that the conversation was about ME and MY photos, very critical and mean-spirited. It knocked me right down the rest of the way, and all of a sudden I wasn't satified with anything I produced.
I'd get an idea, set it up, take the shot, then decide it had "been done" and was crap. Delete delete. I'd go to a garden, spend the day shooting bugs, water, trees, then delete them all because just how many millions of photos of trees does the world really need?
So that is the state I find myself in presently. I tell myself: "so you have a block and think everything is crap? So shoot crap. You might lay a golden egg, you never know." I'm not sure I believe it, but I keep saying it.
So far this month, I've shot more than Nov-Jan combined, but still a fraction of what I was doing a year ago. A year ago, I had ideas (delusions?) of trying to do something with photography that was more than just taking pictures and posting them on Flickr and forums. Now, I'd just like to get back to that place where I felt the freedom and courage to just get out there and try something different.
The only way to get through a block is to keep looking through the viewfinder. How can you find inspiration if you give up on looking for it?

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (137 votes).
In short: Very nice run with good support and a nice route!Date of review: April 24, 2011
In short: will train better for the 2 trips up the hill next year!Date of review: April 24, 2011
In short: A very well organised event, well done CONACIn full: This is a very well organised event, with a good atmosphere. The first mile or so is easy going but then there is a long drag/hill which is a real test. Most of it is a 2 lapper so you get to run the hill twice. Date of review: April 24, 2011
In short: Hot hot hot!In full: Yet again a very well organised race. Well organised HQ and start. Plenty of drinks stations and encouraging marshalls. The course is not flat, that hill the second time around was a killer!! Nonetheless well done CONAC!Date of review: April 24, 2011
In short: Hot and hilly but great organisation, marshalls, supporters, water stations, additional toilets provided too!Date of review: April 24, 2011
In short: Worth turning up, just for the excellent quality medal!In full: I found this race whilst sifting through the Runners World website, it looked like a decent race from the ratings that were posted and I wasn't disappointed. NEGATIVE: It was quite cramped inside the ski headquarters, this made it difficult to see/read the signs that were up. Why was it cramped? lots of people waiting for a few number of toilets. The water station could have been better organised, there were people there, just not very good at handing out water. POSITIVE: The race route is quite scenic, particularly the first km. All the marshalls and the baggage handlers were very friendly and took time out to have a chat after the race. The free tea and coffee at the finish were a welcome treat! Despite no-one there knowing me, I still got applauded and cheered in at the finish, which I thought was nice of the spectators.GOODY BAG & MEDAL: The medal had a diameter of about 6.5cm and of a good weight. It was black and gold in colour with the event name/year on it and unusually a web address of the organisers. The goody bag had a can of soft drink, creme egg and cereal bar in it, with a few other bits & bobs.You'll need to run a time of about 32 mins to be hopeful of finishing in the top three men. The last runner came in at 1 hr 15 mins, so the overall standard was higher than at other 10K races I've completed.Date of review: July 21, 2010
In short: Smoothly organised race. Date of review: April 21, 2010
In short: Great course and really well organised. Plus, VFM in spades - the goody bag was way better than anyone could expectIn full: Really enjoyed this - a genuinuely interesting course, with probably 2.5 - 3k of challenging uphill (bear in mind this is near Norwich). Marshalls were brilliant, and great conditions for running. Well done to the organisers on this one - quality eventDate of review: April 7, 2010
In short: Well done CONAC again!!In full: Another well organised event!! Good pre race organisation, well marshalled on the day, easter egg in your goody bag and free tea and coffee, what more could you want!!!Date of review: April 7, 2010
In short: Very good race, well organised and very friendly. Medal and goody bag were excellentDate of review: April 7, 2010

Fish is to Marco Island like pork belly is to gourmands. The best is at Lee Be Fish Company (239-389-0580), a tiny spot that has one of the best fish tacos on the Paradise Coast, as well as other fresh seafood dishes in the utterly charming Shops of Olde Marco on Royal Palm Drive.
Goodland. When exploring this fishing village on the southeast tip of the island, stop in at Stan's Idle Hour or The Little Bar on Goodland for fresh seafood and chilled cocktails. Both are also accessible by boat.
Hidden Gem. Joe's Hideout is tucked away in the Shops of Olde Marco just down the path from Lee Be Fish Company and next to its sister store, Sweet Dreams of Marco,where the cupcakes are like little works of art. Cold beer, wine, pizza, burgers and Boston hot dogs are on the menu. It's packed for happy hour, and the impossibly cute Key West courtyard seating with overhead lights is always happening.

Hazardous Driving Conditions
BROWN COUNTY – Rain that became ice when it reached cooler surfaces like secondary roads, sidewalks and driveways, turned parts of Southern Minnesota into an ice rink Sunday morning.
Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) spokeswoman Rebecca Arndt advised motorists not to travel on roads Sunday unless absolutely necessary. A winter weather advisory was in effect until midnight Sunday.
Travel was not advised by MnDOT on Interstate 35 from Faribault to the Iowa State Line due to freezing rain and ice, on Interstate 90 from Minnesota 109 near Alden east to the Wisconsin State Line, and throughout southeastern Minnesota.
Accidents reported by MnDOT Sunday afternoon included a rollover on U.S. Highway 14 about two miles west of Springfield; on State Highway 15, between State Highway 19 and U.S. 212; and on State Highway 19 between Renville County Road 35 and Renville County Road 5C.
The Brown County Sheriff's Office reported a number of mishaps Sunday morning including a personal injury accident near the intersection of State Highway 4 and 100th Street in Albin Township.
Several additional property damage accidents were reported in rural areas beginning shortly after 10 a.m
New Ulm Police also reported a rash of property damage accidents Sunday between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Tonight's forecast called for chance of sleet, possibly mixed with rain and freezing rain and sleet likely after midnight, with areas of fog. Snow and sleet accumulation could reach one inch. Change of precipitation 60 percent.
Tuesday's forecast, according to MnDOT, predicted areas of morning fog, a chance of snow, possibly mixed with freezing rain in the morning, then a slight chance of snow in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation 50 percent.
Anticipating traveling difficulties, District 88 delayed the start of school by two hours today.
The State Patrol reported hundreds of crashes and spinouts as a mix of freezing rain, sleet and snow made travel difficult across much of southern Minnesota, according to the Associated Press.
Lt. Eric Roeske says 240 crashes were reported between noon and 4:30 p.m. Sunday, with 36 injuries, though none serious. He says another 152 vehicles went off the roads or spun out, and one semi jackknifed.
MnDOT also reported difficult driving conditions throughout the Twin Cities and along I-94 and I-35 west and north of the metro area.

Where will the jobs (and middle-class wages) will be in the next few years for people without four-year college degrees? Retiring baby boomers will open up manufacturing jobs for male high school graduates. Women will need a certificate or associate degree — preferably in a health-care field — to have a shot at earning at least $35,000 a year.
Also on Community College Spotlight: To provide realistic training in restaurant work, a college culinary arts program has opened its own bistro.

And so it begins. AP-mania is eventually going to wane because the coursework is not particularly good, the classes are often poorly-designed, and the instruction is provided by high school teachers rather than college professors and so is by definition not college instruction. Many elite high schools have already realized that the AP craze has harmed their students by stressing them out for no good reason. Good schools are dropping out of the program. Meanwhile, PAUSD continues to double down. When will PAUSD parents realize that the AP program is merely a profit-center for the College Board?

Interactive Travel Map | Text the Secretary AnswersToday, Secretary Clinton met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Moscow. The Secretary said:"I want to start by thanking Minister Lavrov for hosting me in Moscow today, along with my delegation. We have had a very productive and comprehensive set of discussions. This follows on the work that we began over the last many months to transform the relationship between our two countries, to find common ground wherever we can, to further mutual respect and mutual interests, without in any way accepting the fact that there are not differences between us, because there are. But to talk about those differences, to share them openly, we think is also an important part of this new aspect to our relationship.
Just three days ago, Sergey and I were in Zurich working together to bring about the signing of the historic protocols between Armenia and Turkey regarding normalization of relations. Both of our countries strongly support this process, and it's another example of how we are working together.
We believe that the framework that has been established that was announced by our two presidents during the summit here in Moscow in July is extremely important. We have agreed to discuss a broad range of important matters in these 16 working groups, which, as Sergey has said, have begun their important consultations. We know that this takes time. It doesn't happen overnight. It requires building trust and confidence between us. But I am very convinced that this is important for each of our nations and our people, and indeed, the world."

It's Nice to know,we're able to achieve great things if we work together.

Assignment: Education - New Grading Indicators
La Crosse elementary schools start using a new grading system
LA CROSSE, Wis. -- Parent teacher conferences are getting underway in October, and part of the conversation during those conferences may involve an explanation of the new grading system.
Like many school districts across the Coulee Region and the nation, La Crosse has been transitioning to a standards based report card. This transition is a part of Wisconsin's adoption of a federal initiative called Common Core Standards. The idea behind Common Core Standards is to make sure kids are getting a similar education whether a child goes to school in La Crosse, Wisconsin, or Denver, Colorado.
Already, the district made changes to the elementary school report card by breaking out exactly what benchmarks or objectives a student at every grade level needs to meet by the end of the school year. Examples for a kindergartener include, 'expresses his or her own ideas using pictures.'
Now, instead of seeing a one, two or three next to those objectives, you're going to see a P, M, or E. P means a student is progressing toward their year-end expectations. M means a student has mastered their year-end expectations. And E means a student exceeds the year-end expectations.3942932
"It's very clear," said Mary Lin Wershofen, Southern Bluffs Elementary School principal. "It helps parents know they've got it or they don't have it. The responsibility is on the teacher to help the families understand what is it that my child still needs to do to get to that mastery level.... No longer will you have that what did my child do this quarter, and have they mastered this first quarter. It's about measuring them toward a mastery level at the end of a school year."
So, gone are the days of extra credit sheets and bonus points for turning your homework in on time, which would sometimes boost a student's grade. Now the grades will be based only on whether or not a student fully understands a concept by the end of the school year.
The end of the first quarter is November 7th, and report cards with the new grading system will be sent out at that time.
Currently, administrators in La Crosse middle and high schools are having conversations about whether they're ready to move toward this type of standards based reporting.

Topic: Quick question... Where do I start learning?
I have wanted to program forever and have never been able to find the grounds to begin my learning. I had dabbled in Python but never really got into it.
Before we start I want to learn to make/help make apps/web apps like twitter, oink, facebook, things like this. Even basic blogs with a forum portion.
My question is what do I need to learn and where do I start?
From my knowledge -
I need to learn HTML 5, Ruby on Rails, and Apache web servers?
Where should I get started? Basic web design with HTML 5?
And on these programs like Oink and Twitter what does Ruby on Rails/Python/etc do for the site? What is their role?
