I am working for a company X in L1 b. My new company Y applied for a H1B premium visa. Is it possible for my Y company to withdraw my H1b after approval, so that I can continue working in L1B. Please clarify
You are not "switched" to the H-1B unless they applied for a change of status - if they didn't, you aren't on they H-1B unless you leave, get the H-1b stamped in your passport and return, which you aren't obligated to do.
If they did and your status was changed as of October 1, leaving and reentering on the L-1B before that invalidates the change, resulting in the situation above (in other words, you stay on the L-1 as long as you don't get the H-1B stamp/reenter on the H-1b).
Speak with an attorney for further guidance.Ask a similar question
Thanks Stuart. That cleared half of my problem.
Yes, but if your status was changed either 1) you will need to exit the US and reenter with a valid L-1B visa stamp, or 2) your employer will need to file a new I-129 to change your status back to L-1B.

I didn't get any photos at the event, as I stupidly forgot to take my camera, however I have pinched a couple from other people's blogs, or Facebook albums to show the talent, and array of different stalls who had a stall...
These first few photos are courtesy of Chloe Cook, who had a stall selling some of her screen printed work which was all very colourful and interesting!
The Fairbridge charity stall selling an array of different items, from cupcakes to handmade finger puppets - all the money from those sold was going straight back into the charity, which seems to do a very good job of providing a fun place to go for young people in Birmingham. Throughout the day, we met a lot of people who either went to the centre, or volunteered there and all seemed very happy with the services provided by Fairbridge. Hopefully the event raised a fair amount of money for the charity so they can continue to offer the invaluable service to young people.
Next to me at the fair was this beautiful stall, which belonged to Happy Go Loopy's Mel Smith; her stall was full of beautiful, vintage items including tea-sets, and gorgeous handbags. Mel also produces eco soya wax teacup candles, and beautiful handmade stationary items using different vintage inspired papers and imagery.
This is the only picture of my stall that I have at the moment! I think Phil took some on his iPhone, so I may be able to upload some more soon. Overall, I was really happy with the look of my table and the array of different items I had created; everything really fitted in with the 'Teatime at Three' theme, and lots of people commented on how lovely everything looked together. The most popular item of the day was definitely the tea-cup pincushions, so I am continuing to scour the local second-hand shops, and car boot sales for vintage teacups and saucers :)
All in all, I had a really lovely day despite the rain at lunchtime (thank you to everyone who helped moved my stall under the gazebo, without having to move anything off the table!!!!!) and I hope to take part in any future events to help out the Fairbridge charity.

Thank you for visiting!
I am more than willing to take you on this journey of mine. I am sure it will be one for the books!
I will be writing more for the purpose of journaling and giving details about my adventures, so my loved ones back home can tag along. I don't intend to hold back much because then it would not be true to me. I am probably an oversharer. My language is not always appropriate and neither are my stories half the time.
Only positive comments will be accepted. There is enough negativity in the world.
Enjoy, if you want to!

Quincy C. Ray, 36, of unincorporated Gurnee, a registered sexual predator with two active arrest warrants, has been apprehended in Ohio pending an extradition hearing, according to the Lake County Sheriff's Office.
He was previously arrested in November for violating sex offender registry and failing to report an address change. An arrest warrant was issued on Jan. 9 for failing to appear in court on an arrest warrant with a $500,000 bond.
Subsequently, the sheriff's office and U.S. Marshals Service's Great Lake Regional Fugitive Task Force attempted to track him down in a joint effort and found he had fled to Ohio.
On Jan. 25, the U.S. Marshals' Southern Ohio Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team located the suspect as he was leaving a mall in Cincinnati. He was arrested without incident and is being held in Hamilton County in Ohio for an extradition hearing.

Alastair Cook fell five agonising runs short of a long-overdue Test century, but still helped Gary Ballance put his team in a dominant position against India at the Ageas Bowl.
England's most prolific centurion had luck on his side on day one of the third Investec Test, and appeared set to make it count by taking his career tally to 26 hundreds - 14 months and 28 innings after his 25th.
He answered his many critics with a fine hand at the top of the order, but sadly the century was not to be as Ravindra Jadeja - the man who dropped Cook on 15 - eventually got him caught-behind down the leg-side from a bottom-edged pull 80 runs later.
England nonetheless took control, after winning the toss, to the tune of 247 for two on the back of a second-wicket stand of 158 between Ballance (104no) and Cook.
Memorable Test matches between England and India
Memorable Test matches between England and India
1/7 1971 - The Oval
For the first time ever, India won a Test match on English soil. Fans surged onto the pitch in celebration before the winning shot had even crossed the boundary.
2/7 1976 - Delhi
Captain Tony Greig masterminded England's first victory in India since the Second World War. It remains one of England's greatest performances against the Indians.
3/7 1980 - Mumbai
Ian Botham stole the show in a one-off Test in Mumbai, taking 6 for 58 and 7 for 48, as well as adding 114 with the bat.
4/7 1993 - Mumbai
After a strong first innings of the third Test of England's 1992-93 tour of India, The hosts hit back with force. Vinod Kambli's 224 went a long way to helping India claim the Test by an innings and 15 runs, completing a 3-0 series whitewash.
5/7 2007 - Trent Bridge
After staving off defeat in the first Test at Lord's on the final day, India turned up at Trent Bridge and produced one of their finest performances on English soil. Sachin Tendulkar top-scored with 91 as the tourists posted 481 to wrestle control of the match in their first innings. The Indians eventually won the Test by seven wickets on the final day. The result would prove decisive as India went on to win the three-match series.
6/7 2008 - Chennai
Tendulkar was again the hero as India successfully chased a monumental target to win by six wickets. The little master hit 103 not out as the hosts chalked up the 387 runs needed for victory. It remains the highest fourth-innings Test total ever recorded in Chennai and ranks among the highest successful fourth-innings chases ever.
7/7 2011 - Edgbaston
Alastair Cook hit 294 as England made 710 - 7 declared - their third-highest Test total ever. Big knocks from Andrew Strauss and Eoin Morgan also helped the cause after the hosts had bowled out the Indians for just 224. England eventually won by an innings and 242 runs before Tea on day four.
The England captain and Sam Robson also shared their first half-century opening stand together, at the eighth attempt.
Cook's personal milestone was reward for the "blood, sweat and tears" he cited on the eve of this match was within touching distance after almost five hours at the crease, only for him to fall midway through the evening session, to the 231st ball he faced.
Disappointment was etched on his face, after Marais Erasmus confirmed his dismissal, but an appreciative and empathetic crowd applauded Cook from the ground in recognition he had rediscovered his run-scoring knack after a previous sequence of just 127 in nine Test innings this year.
They had some consolation to cheer soon enough too when the prolific Ballance's third hundred of the summer, in only his sixth Test, duly arrived with a back cut off Mohammed Shami for his 15th four.
Cook, under intense pressure as his team try to arrest a run of seven defeats in nine matches, might easily have gone much more cheaply on a bright but cloudy morning.
He survived when he poked out at a Pankaj Singh delivery from around the wicket and should have become the debutant's maiden Test victim only for Jadeja to put down a straightforward chance at third slip.
Cook often appeared tentative, edging the first ball of the match from Bhuvneshwar Kumar short of second slip and also beaten on the outside edge by Shami before his scare against first-change Pankaj.
He nonetheless went past first Kevin Pietersen and then, after lunch, David Gower to move up to third in England's list of all-time Test runscorers.
Robson was the more convincing opener, with cover-driven fours off Kumar and then Shami, until the latter saw him off with a touch of extra bounce - Jadeja safe this time with the mirror-image chance at third slip.
Cook gradually grew in confidence on the way to his highest score since he made 130 against New Zealand at Headingley early last summer.
On a pitch with pace and carry, England were doubtless relieved there was no threat from Ishant Sharma - the tall seamer who helped to put India 1-0 up at Lord's six days ago but is injured here.
Without him, India needed Kumar and Shami to be at their best - and although the two canny seamers regularly beat the bat, they found precious few edges.
Cook passed his first half-century since the Melbourne Test last Christmas, when he pulled Shami for two soon after lunch, and Ballance established a similar tempo on the way to his fifth score of 50 or more in only 10 Test innings to date.
It seemed both would convert to three figures - and after Cook fell just short, Ballance made no mistake.
Joined by an initially scratchy Ian Bell, with the second new ball taken immediately after it became available, England's new inked-in number three completed his chanceless hundred.
It was an innings faithful to the hallmarks increasingly associated with the reliable left-hander - low risk and with measured acceleration.
In Ballance and thankfully perhaps Cook once again, England have a pillar on which to build the totals they will need to overturn the series deficit they conceded at Lord's.

Honestly, I really miss writing fan fiction.
This is something I came up with when I was writing up a script for a skit my partner and I have to present in my Japanese class (and it's drawing from various college experiences I've had as well). I played around with this idea and I thought it'd make a cute idea for a Link/Zelda story, so I translated it into English, rewrote and added parts, and here it is. This is a one shot, by the way. Please don't ask for sequels or anything, because I have no intention of writing them. It's not an actual novel or anything like that, but after a year or something, it's better than nothing, right?
I do not own The Legend of Zelda.
Mister Playboy
Fifty-eight. Fifty-nine. Sixty seconds. Fifteen minutes late.
Zelda tapped her foot impatiently against the concrete, adjusting her wristwatch and shifting in her seat on the wooden bench as she did so. She was used to the buses being tardy. Such was part of the city life, after all. And such was definitely expected when a bus system served a city population of over eight million people during the afternoon rush hour commute. The bus coming in and out late was something she'd grown accustomed to, for better or worse. It wasn't like she had anywhere in particular to be. It was just that after five one hour and 15 minute classes with little more than 10 or 15 minutes in between to get from one end of campus to another—barely enough to time to get a halfway decent seat in the back of her lecture halls, one could understand why she just wanted to be home.
I really need a car, she mused to herself not for the first time. But with university tuition, a $2400 a month rent for an apartment split four ways between her and her three girlfriends, a full-time job and student status, and countless other bills to attend to, considering to buy a car was the very least of her worries. But that was the college life for you. A price to pay for an apartment in the heart of Hyrule Castle Town and a spot in Hyrule Castle University, arguably the world's foremost and selective research university.
Sixteen minutes late.
"Bus still hasn't come yet?"
The voice shook her out of her absent minded thoughts. Her back arched in surprise and whirled around to the source of her slight shock. There was a young man leaning over the back of the bench, his arms crossed out over its wooden ledge. He chuckled a bit at her reaction.
"Didn't mean to scare you there."
"Well you did!" She shot back, maybe a little sharper than she intended. He just raised an eyebrow and stood up straight.
"Sorry." He walked around the bench and sat down a foot or two away from her. "You've been sitting here for quite a while now. You should think about writing the city about the transportation system."
She just scoffed. "Like they'd listen to a letter from a Little Miss Nothing."
He just shrugged. "Well, I don't know. Don't look like a Little Miss Nothin' to me."
She turned to face him, a slight look of contempt. "Was that a pass at me?"
He shrugged again, blowing some of his blond bangs to the side. "Maybe."
Zelda didn't say anything. "…Were you watching me?"
He glanced at her for a second. "Sorry?"
"You said I've been sitting here for a while," she said. "Were you watching me then?"
He laughed at that. "Maybe I was. Would you think any less of me if I said yes?"
She smiled inwardly. Who was this guy? "I dunno. Press your luck and we'll see what happens."
"Haha," he laughed. "If you insist! Yes, I was watching you."
Zelda raised her eyebrows again, running a hand through her own blonde hair. "You sure are honest."
"Well I heard lying isn't the best way to start off a relationship," he shrugged.
That caught her attention. "'Relationship?'"
"Yeah, I said that." He nodded. He adjusted the sleeves of his light green flannel he had pushed up just above his elbows and crossed his arms. He leaned towards her and gave her the slyest, lopsided grin he could manage. "That was invitation, if you haven't caught on."
Zelda couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Goddesses! Well I do have to give you credit for being very direct."
He smiled to himself, completely unfazed by her laughing in his face. If it were anyone else, that probably would have been quite a blow to his ego, and maybe a little something else. "Well I'll let you in on a little something about me. Believe it or not, but in high school, I was really shy. I liked a lot of girls but I never acted on it and by the time I mustered up the courage to, she had already hooked up with someone else."
He stood up and walked over to the bus stop sign in front of the bench and leaned his back against it, his arms still crossed over his chest. "So after I graduated, I told myself, 'Link, you can't just sit on your ass and let those ladies pass you by!' That isn't gonna work when you're in college!' So by the time I started my undergrad, I decided to be the complete opposite."
"By the time you started your undergrad?" She repeated.
"Yep," he nodded. He pushed his shaggy hair back and Zelda caught a glimpse of a small silver hoop earring. "I'm a grad student here in psychology."
Zelda was just a junior, so he had to be at least two years older than her. "And your name is Link?"
"You got it," the young man named Link nodded again. "The ladies say they love to scream it in bed."
That made her jaw drop in shock. "Nayru, you are disgusting!"
His almost smug grin didn't falter. As much as she hated to admit it, it looked rather good on him. "So you say, but you're still here. Don't you think if I disgusted you that much, you would have left by now?"
Zelda opened her mouth to say something, but she paused for a second. There was something about Link. Normally, Zelda would have smacked the kid right across his face for making such lewd comments, for coming on as strongly as he did. So why hasn't she?
"…The bus is coming," is all she said.
"Now that sounds like a pretty poor excuse if you ask me," he chuckled.
"I didn't ask."
"So defensive!" He grinned again. That stupid grin. She wanted to wipe it right off his face.
"No use in hiding anything from me," he unfolded his arms and stuffed his left hand in his jeans pocket. His right ran through his hair again. "I'm a psychology major, remember?"
"And let me guess," she rolled her eyes. "You're analyzing everything I'm saying and doing."
"I can see you didn't get into HCU on luck."
"Then tell me," she folded her arms and crossed her legs, "What am I thinking?"
He pushed himself upright and sat down on the bench next to her again, only closer than a foot or two than he was just earlier. He had his left ankle resting on his right knee and his right arm on the bench's back with his arm propping up his cheek. He stared straight into her eyes, seriously trying to figure her out. Not that he had any trouble.
"I think you're attracted to me, somewhere in the back of your head. My attitude disgusts you, as you say. Maybe even pisses you off a bit, but even though you're telling yourself to just smack him in the face—'Piss off, jackass!' or something like that, something's compelling you to stay, but you don't know what. You wanna see where this leads. You're not expecting anything to see any fireworks, but you know somewhere inside you that you wanna see where you and I go."
Link leaned away and grinned again for the millionth time. "But let me tell you right now, you'll see a lot more than fireworks." He winked.
This son of a bitch.
Zelda studied him hard, with the same scrutinizing eyes he gave her. Only she was studying anything but his thoughts. His dirty blond hair that was perfectly disheveled in a way she couldn't describe. His dark blue eyes and rather tanned skin. She could tell based on his arms that he worked out. Hell, what was he? Those Mary Sues straight out of a badly written middle schooler's private journal of short stories?
There was a moment of silence between the two that was broken by a dog's barking. The two looked over the bench and saw a small dog running towards them with a tennis ball in its mouth.
"Hey, buddy!" Link laughed as the dog jumped onto the bench between them. Link picked him up, taking the tennis ball out of its mouth and the dog licked his cheek with its mouth now free.
"Whoa, calm down!" The blond exclaimed. "You're a straight dog, okay! I know I'm good looking and all, but come on, buddy!" Link glanced at Zelda, who was laughing softly, smiling at the dog. Link took the dog's left paw and made it to a waving motion towards her.
"Your dog?" Zelda asked, waving at the canine in Link's arms.
"Yep," he nodded. "His name's Richard. A shiba, he is. Say hi to the pretty lady!"
Goddesses, even his dog's cute! If he were a dog, he'd look… Richard grinned at Zelda, and she couldn't help but laugh. He was a shiba pup with light blond hair and pointed ears, and he had this goofy grin on his face.
Just like him.
"Wanna hold him?" Link offered Richard to her. "He doesn't bite. He's really friendly and likes girls especially."
Farore, just like his owner.
"…Sure," Zelda took Richard from under his arms and he climbed on her, sniffing her perfume and picking up her scent. He licked her cheek once and curled up in her lap, nuzzling her stomach.
"He's so cute," she giggled. "Why'd you bring him here?"
"I don't have class today," Link replied. "I thought I'd take him for a walk around campus."
Richard wagged his curled hair in delight as she scratched his stomach.
"And he chooses great girls."
Zelda's eyes shot up at that, staring at him with a mixture of amusement, disgust, and disbelief.
"Hey, buddy!" Link smiled at Richard. "I think she likes us!"
The dog stood up on the bench and barked in reply.
"High five!" Link held his hand out, and Richard slapped his paw against it. The young man picked him up and sat him down on his lap.
"Well I won't fault his taste," Zelda shrugged, playing along with Link's sick game of elegant egotist.
Link smirked in reply, and in the short distance came the sound of the bus finally coming down the road, signaling to pull up to the curb in front of the bench.
Good Goddesses, about time, Zelda heaved a tired sigh. She checked her watch. Twenty-five minutes late. Ridiculous.
"Midnight," Link sighed. "Carriage's here to pick up the little missy."
Carriage? It's a bus. "More like the pumpkin."
"Same thing," he laughed softly. "Gotta go either way."
If she didn't know better, she could clearly hear genuine disappointment in his voice. She was no psychology major, but any girl could figure that out.
Zelda grabbed her book bag and stood up, dusting the bottom of her jeans. The bus slowly pulled up in front of them, and the doors opened, a flood of people flowing out. Some unhooked their bicycles from the rack on the front of the bus. HCU students who had afternoon and evening classes, no doubt.
She looked over her shoulder to see Link, who smiled slightly at her. For the first time since they started talking, that was the first smile that looked even halfway real.
"I'll… see you around campus then?" She asked him, a tinge of hopefulness in her voice. Even she couldn't figure out why that was. Maybe all that analyzing her that he did wasn't total BS. "Maybe get coffee sometime, when you're not busy flirting with other girls."
His face lit up at that. "Of course!"
She turned away and got ready to board the bus as the last few people hopped off and powerwalked their way into campus.
"And I'll have you know!" He added. She stopped for a second and turned back to him.
"Believe it or not, I'm an exclusive girl type of guy," he smiled. "No side action or BS, guaranteed."
Zelda smiled slightly at that. "I'll take your word for it."
She was about to lift her foot to step onto the bus.
"Wait!" He stopped her again. "What's your name?
She smiled to herself and answered without facing him. "Zelda."
Link repeated her name softly. "Zelda… Don't meet very many of those these days." She didn't find that offensive. It was true, after all.
"…Zelda what?" He asked again, wondering what her last name was.
Zelda smiled again, she finally turned around and gave him a smirk, one with as much coyness and flirtatiousness as he had been giving her the whole time. One that made him raise cock an eyebrow in confusion, and even made Richard tilt his head to the side.
"Time for you to do the chasing, Mr. Playboy!" She exclaimed, swiping her bus card. "Ask around. Maybe you'll get lucky!"
And with that, the bus doors slid closed.
Link raised his brow even higher at her last words as the bus signaled onto the road and slowly drove away. He turned to Richard and chuckled softly.
"You heard the lady, bud," Link grunted as he stood to his feet, and his dog followed suit. He picked up the tennis ball, piquing Richard's attention, his eyes lighting up. Link threw the ball across the field and Richard went chasing after it, barking happily.
"I got some research to do," Link said to himself under his breath as he watched Richard dart for the ball.
"'Maybe you'll get lucky,' huh?" He smirked. "Challenge accepted, little missy!"
On the bus, Zelda sat in her seat with her book bag in her lap, her arms wrapped around it. Her temple rested on the window as she watched the scenery pass by, mostly college students walking the sidewalks and cars lining up outside the exits of the parking structures that lined the outskirts of the campus, eager to go home.
Twenty-five minutes late. The bus coming in and out late was something she'd grown accustomed to, for better or worse.
Maybe in this case, for better.
Remember the name Richard from the dog in Ocarina of Time you find in the Market and you get a Piece of Heart for returning him to his owner? Do I still got it or what? I hope you enjoyed reading this. I'm not promising this is a sign I'll fully come back, but I hope this at least shows I still very much have a penchant for writing fan fiction, even though I'm a guy in college pushing 19. And an undying love for Link/Zelda. Can't forget about that. Comments, suggestions, insight and (constructive) criticism is more than welcome. Otherwise, keep in touch with my on my Tumblr. The link is in my profile.
Enjoy Life and Smile.

The National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) claims that the tables, due to be published for the first time on 4 March, do not represent schools' real performance because they are based on the number of 11-year-olds eligible to sit the tests, not the number who actually sit them.
That means that a school where a high number of pupils missed the maths, English and science tests last summer through sickness or other reasons would come low down on the tables, even if those who sat the tests scored highly.
The union, which is represented by Cherie Blair QC and is using a primary school near Brentford, Essex, as a test case, wants the tables stopped unless the scores are changed to take absences into account. It also says the results of children with special needs studying in mainstream schools should be left out.
The Secretary of State for Education and Employment, Gill-ian Shephard, last night dismissed the NAHT's action as "nothing short of outrageous", claiming it would deny parents information they were entitled to.
The latest battle comes after 12 months of controversy surrounding the tables. A year ago, Mrs Shephard assured teachers there was no intention of publishing league tables of results until the tests for 11-year-olds had fully "bedded down".
Just weeks afterwards, she went back on her pledge under right-wing pressure and announced publication of the tables this spring, provoking a storm of criticism from teaching unions and threats by the NAHT to boycott the tests.
Earlier this month, Labour's education spokesman, David Blunkett, hinted that he was keen to scrap national primary tables in favour of local versions produced by local authorities. He later insisted the party was sticking by its promise to judge the usefulness of the first set of tables, but Mrs Shephard seized on the reports as evidence of Labour's intention to withhold information on school standards.
The NAHT's legal case centres on West Horndon Primary School, where 17 pupils on a roll of 120 were eligible to take the tests last summer. In the event, four were absent, dragging down the score. Although 50 per cent of those taking the tests had achieved government-set standards, that equalled only 35 per cent of those eligible to take them.
Roger Wicks, the solicitor acting for the school and the union, said: "As they stand, the tables are misleading. If this data creates an impression the school is underachieving ... some parents will want to send their children elsewhere, with the risk that the school will slip into a downward spiral."

Inaugural Edition: May 19, 2009
In this newsletter, you will read about several of our ongoing projects and initiatives. I would like to make a special mention of the Solar Decathlon project, a Department of Energy-sponsored competition in which Tufts undergraduates and graduates, together with students from the Boston Architectural College, will design and build an efficient solar-powered house. If you have time, please visit the students' website where you will see the vast effort the students have already invested into this project.
I am also especially proud to report that two undergraduate students affiliated with TIE, Matt Thoms and Mara Gittleman, have received prestigious awards from external organizations, and that four of this year's Arts, Sciences & Engineering Graduate Award recipients have been supported by TIE fellowships or grants.
TIE's mandate is to support environmental and interdisciplinary teaching and research at all of Tufts' schools. Because TIE is not school-affiliated, it is uniquely positioned to achieve this goal. However, in order to do so, we need input from alumni like you. I truly hope that this newsletter and the upcoming alumni meeting in September (details forthcoming) will allow each of you to get involved in environmental efforts at Tufts. If you like what you see here, feel free to forward the link to any of your friends who are interested in environmental topics but might not have graduated from an environmental program at Tufts.
Everything you read in this inaugural issue of the TEA newsletter was put together for you by a group of very dedicated students. Please enjoy, and let us know if you have any feedback!
Have a wonderful summer,
Antje Danielson

TESTING THE WATERS: Water: Systems, Science and Society (WSSS)
By Nathan Rawding G'10
This March, seven Tufts graduate students spent their spring break getting some hands-on experience testing for water pollution in coastal waters off the Bahamas. These students, hailing from the Schools of Engineering, Arts & Sciences, and Veterinary Medicine, were completing the practicum requirement of the university's interdisciplinary Water: Systems, Science, and Society (WSSS) certificate program.
|Led by Engineering Professors Paul Kirshen and John Durant and Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning Professor Rusty Russell, the research team traveled to Elbow Cay in the Abaco Islands of the Bahamas to conduct their investigation. The trip, sponsored by Tufts alumnus John Foster '52, allowed the students to study the effects of human wastewater on the coastal marine environment.
|Partnering with researchers from the College of the Bahamas, participants collected water samples from several of the harbors on the island to test for bacteria and nutrients found in wastewater. The team also conducted interviews with members of the community to understand local beliefs and perspectives on wastewater disposal and contamination.
|The students are currently writing a research paper based on their trip, and are working with Friends of the Environment, a non-profit environmental education organization in the Bahamas, to create an on-going water quality sampling program for the Elbow Cay community, which will involve children from the local school.
This trip was the last WSSS practicum lead by Professor Paul Kirshen, who has directed the program since co-founding it with Professor Beatrice Rogers of the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy. Professor Kirshen is joining Battelle in Lexington, Massachusetts this summer to help lead its new climate change management initiative. Click here for more information on the WSSS program.

HARVESTING THE SUN: Solar Decathlon
By Ben Steinberg G'09
Team Boston, a consortium between Tufts University and the Boston Architectural College (BAC), will compete this fall in the 2009 Solar Decathlon contest in Washington, D.C. Tufts and the BAC will compete with 19 other schools from around the world to build an 800-square foot home powered exclusively by solar energy. The house will be displayed to hundreds of thousands of people on the National Mall this coming October. To learn more about the competition, please visit: www.solardecathlon.org.
After a year and a half of planning and designing the house, Team Boston broke ground on Earth Day! Alumni, students, faculty and community members came to celebrate this occasion.
|The event was headlined by speeches from: Michael McGlynn, Mayor of Medford; Bill Moomaw, Professor of international environmental policy at the Fletcher School, and Jeff Stein, Dean of Students, and Head of the Architectural School at the BAC.
|Team Boston's goal is to inspire and empower people of all socioeconomic backgrounds to live sustainably. The house has been designed to promote curiosity and exploration of sustainable living; its interactive features provide feedback about resource consumption and environmental impacts. Additionally, Team Boston is dedicated to ongoing community outreach and education initiatives which provide knowledge and tools for green living to broad and diverse audiences beyond the competition.
|Team Boston's advisors, sponsors, and participants create a powerful network that foster professional relationships and provide extensive research and applied learning opportunities for those involved. The Team welcomes any and all interested parties to join the effort and contribute to the project.
|To learn more, please visit the team website at: www.livecurio.us. If you would like to get involved but cannot attend the groundbreaking event, please contact the Project Coordinator, Colin Booth, at: firstname.lastname@example.com.

TIE GRADUATE RESEARCH FELLOW: Abby Lindsay Talks about her Work
|By Abby Lindsay MA/MALD '09, 2009 TIE FellowAs I reflect upon my experience at Tufts, the TIE Graduate Research Fellowship stands out as a defining factor that enabled me to carry my research beyond the classroom. My research interests lie at the intersection of international climate policy and its implementation on the local scale. The TIE grant allowed me to conduct field interviews with stakeholders to augment my analysis of the barriers to implementing Clean Development Mechanism projects in Central America.
The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is one of several flexibility mechanisms in the Kyoto Protocol designed to help Annex 1 (developed) countries meet their emission reduction targets. Through the CDM, non-Annex 1 (developing) countries implement emission reduction projects. The project developers receive credits for these reductions, which Annex I countries can apply toward their Kyoto targets. My fellowship project involved studying the decision-making process behind the implementation CDM projects. I focused specifically on renewable energy projects, and chose Costa Rica and Honduras because these countries have received less attention from researchers than other Central American countries.
One of the CDM projects I studied in Honduras was a 13 MW hydropower plant nestled up in the mountains. The challenges that this plant faces are common ones in Central America: the plant operators have lost several generators because the electricity transmission lines are poorly maintained; they have had to contend with river surges after hurricanes; they had difficulty securing a loan without collateral. Additionally, they have found the paperwork involved in the CDM certification process incredibly complex, the environmental permitting process slow and inefficient, the government's price for electricity woefully inadequate, and its calculation process non-transparent.
I also conducted stakeholder interviews with government officials to understand the impact of national policy on the fate of CDM projects in these countries. I initially hypothesized that I would find that the CDM provided the impetus to implement renewable energy instead of fossil fuel-based electricity, but it was more often the case that domestic policies were the driving force. The governments of these countries are making progress in many areas, but there are still policies and institutional barriers that favor fossil fuels over renewable energy, either directly or indirectly. Renewable energy project developers, like those proposing a 100 MW wind farm in southern Honduras, often struggle to secure government contracts even when they offer much-needed power and substantial community benefits.
My TIE-funded field experience gave me valuable new perspectives on the issue of CDM project implementation in ways that would have been impossible had I not traveled to Central America. The fellowship gave me the opportunity to reach out to a wide variety of stakeholders, to hear about their experiences and challenges, and to see how the CDM is impacting their decisions. Furthermore, I gained a first-hand perspective on the future of energy generation in the region, and learned more about the impact of policy decisions. Many challenges remain to be addressed, but there is also reason for hope. As I go on to future work in international climate, energy, and environment policy, I will remember the challenges that I observed first-hand in Costa Rica and Honduras, and the lessons that I learned from talking to project developers, plant operators, government officials and community members. This project has deepened my understanding of the issues surrounding CDM project implementation, and reminded me of the importance of hearing from all stakeholders on issues like renewable energy production, which hold so much significance for the community, the government, and the environment.

ALUMNI PROFILE: An Interview with Jesse Gossett A'08
|By Kiersten von Trapp G'10
Jesse Gossett earned a BA from Tufts in Environmental Science in 2008. Since graduating, Jesse has followed his interests in renewable energy and sustainability into the professional world.
Emergent Energy Group, located in Boston, Massachusetts, plans, designs, and facilitates renewable energy projects. The company strategy states: "Through an open and transparent community-based development process, we find holistic energy and sustainability solutions that overcome your technical, environmental, and community challenges." Emergent Energy Group is a young company with five energetic employees, four of whom are recent Tufts graduates.
Jesse joined Emergent in September 2007 and has since become Director of Community Affairs where he focuses his efforts on developing new ways to help clients and facilitate project management. Jesse has helped shape Emergent Energy Group into a leader in the field of renewable energy in New England and beyond. In this interview, Jesse talks about his Tufts experience, Emergent, and the future.
How did your Tufts experience lead you to where you are today?
Tufts provided us with a forum to learn all about the energy industry. Many of our classes and extracurricular activities revolved around energy, and there was often overlap between professional and academic interest. Also, the contacts and relationships we made while at Tufts continue to serve us to this day, and we hope to eventually be able to give back in the same way.
Which Tufts programs helped you the most?
The Energy Security Initiative, now the Tufts Energy Forum, was the most formative for us. Through ESI we were able to travel all over the world, from Belgium and the Netherlands to the United Arab Emirates. The trips were completely self-driven research projects on topics like the EU carbon trading program, Middle Eastern oil politics and the future of energy. For me, personally, the best part was giving a small presentation at the first annual World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi in January 2008.
What was your relationship to the Tufts Institute of the Environment as an undergraduate?
TIE supported us both financially and by providing contacts for our various activities, including on-campus events and our various research trips.
How did the trips and conferences you attended lead to where you are now?
Through traveling the world, we started so see some dark sides to the way we use energy. Environmentally, socially, economically, and spiritually, it's just not sustainable. After seeing this dark side, we were moved to form a company around ideals and goals which could change the status quo of energy use and energy development.
How did your company, Emergent Energy Group, come to be?
Greg Hering, Jared Rodriguez and Jayson Uppal initially met over two years ago at Tufts and started to create the knowledge foundation for Emergent. They did some pro bono work, attended a lot of conferences and made some contacts in the industry. When I came on at the beginning of my senior year, we almost immediately had a decision to make. There were now three seniors around the table. Could we actually do this full-time when we graduated? Could we make money doing it? It's now apparent that we can.
What is Emergent Energy Group?
We at Emergent Energy Group are planners, designers and facilitators of renewable energy projects. So far we have been very successful with in the wind and solar power sectors. We're starting to explore further opportunities in the non-profit sector, other renewable energy technologies, and other types of local development. And we've managed to stayed true to our values of idealism and creativity while moving our company forward.
What is the next step for Emergent Energy Group?
We recently partnered with a Fortune 100 company to provide wind services for their New England operations. This will hopefully provide a really solid foundation for us, allowing Emergent to expand into some of the other sectors which interest us.

GREENING THE CURRICULUM: Tufts Environmental Literacy Institute
By Jessica Soule G'10
|Jonathan Kenny and the Tufts Institute of the Environment are planning the Tufts Environmental Literacy Institute, a four-day faculty development workshop. Running from May 18-21, 2009, participants will be recruited from a range of departments across Tufts. While the immediate goal is to enhance faculty literacy on climate change and climate justice, the ultimate goal is to increase the ability of all Tufts students to engage with the issues that will shape their generation.
|As part of the institute, participants commit to incorporate the institute's themes into an existing course, or to create a new course. Throughout the week participants will have the opportunity to interact with experts from various fields, be introduced to a range of resources including on-campus support, and take part in a field-based learning experience.
These unique experiences and tools will help participants be prepared to incorporate these themes into existing or new courses.
Another major goal of TELI is to increase interdisciplinary collaboration and communication. A five-year run of TELI in the 1990's proved that TELI had a substantial impact on research and interdisciplinary collaboration. Collaborations in grant proposals and interdisciplinary teaching were reported by 58% of Tufts' earlier TELI participants. [1]
The earlier TELI experience also proved that faculty are committed to the institute's goals. Many past participants went beyond the original commitment to change one course; half of those surveyed changed more than one course, and some changed as many as four. Since many of these courses are foundational courses required for all students, the impact is enhanced. [2]
There is the hope that the current TELI institute will have an even greater an impact on faculty collaboration and student learning. The 2009 institute's providers also hope that it is only the second of another five-year run for TELI.
|Interested individuals may visit the TELI website to learn more or to register for the institute.

Tufts Energy and Climate Forum
By Zoe Harris G'10
Launched in Fall 2006, the Energy and Climate Forum was conceived as a means of gauging interest in the topics of climate and energy, an area identified as being particularly promising for development as a cross-university effort. Sponsored by the Department of Economics, the Tufts Institute of the Environment (TIE), and the Fletcher School's Center for International Environment and Resource Policy (CIERP), it consists of monthly seminars featuring both internal and external speakers addressing critical issues surrounding energy and climate. Topics include science, engineering, economics, health and the environment, and resources policy and politics.
Spring 2009 speakers have included such notable figures as Dan Schrag, director of Harvard University's Center for the Environment, Rohit Aggarwala, director of New York City's Office of Long-term Planning and Sustainability under Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and Tufts Economics professor Frank Ackerman, who discussed his latest book, Can We Afford the Future?: The Economics of a Warming World.
The Tufts Energy and Climate Forum will continue in fall 2009.

Saggar Open Decorative Vessel - Medium$95.00 CAD
Saggar pottery is among the most exciting of the clay crafts because of its unpredictability. Prepared pots are nestled into saggars filled with combustive materials, such as sawdust, and less combustible organic materials like salts and metals. Some of the materials ignite or fume during firing marking the wares dramatically with colours ranging from black and white markings to flashes of other colours and slight texturing. Here this African-inspired piece has a surprise - a light blue colour on the inside.
Size: 6" tall x 5 1/2" at widest point.
The Artist/Designer: Becky Webster has been creating art of all sorts from a young age and was encouraged by her parents to pursue the arts in college. After graduating in 2001 from Sheridan College's Craft and Design program majoring in ceramics, Becky began managing S&S Pottery Supplies in Kitchener and set up a studio beside the store where she has created two distinct lines of work that are forever evolving. Over the last 15 years, she has participated in many solo and group exhibitions and currently her work is exhibited and sold in galleries and shops all over Ontario and Quebec.

When it's fun, thrills, and laughter you're after then an amusement park seems to be a logical answer. The State of California is well-known for its many amusement parks (Disneyland, Magic Mountain, Sea World, Marine World, Legoland) scattered throughout the state and these parks seem to reach near capacity during the Holiday Season. What happens when your trip to the amusement park turns into disaster, and you end up with a personal injury? This is where premises liability comes into play, and how it will work in your favor.
What is Premises Liability? First off let's take a look at what "premises liability" is. In the State of California the owner of a property, such as a home, store, or amusement park, is held responsible should a person become injured due to negligent management on the property owner's part. That property owner may then be responsible for paying damages if they are found guilty of negligent management.
Don't Just Ignore it - If this sounds like something that's happened to you at an amusement park, it's important you don't just ignore it. Perhaps you've sustained whiplash on a ride, maybe you had a fall while getting on or off the ride, or perhaps you tripped over cords and wires laying on a pathway. The point is that if you've been hurt while at an amusement park, it's important to take the proper steps.
An important thing to keep in mind that can help your case out, is to identify witnesses. There's a good chance at a busy amusement park there were witnesses of your accident. There may even be photos/videos including those owned and operated by the park which may also be helpful and you can also document what happened with your cell phone camera.
The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission keeps track of amusement ride related injuries and deaths. This goes to show that there are enough injuries to warrant statistics being kept. Too often it is just the serious ones that get reported, when in reality there should be many more addressed. The responsibility lies with the amusement park owner to make sure all rides are kept safe, that ride height restrictions are adhered to at all times, and that the grounds are safe in general, among other things.
We help with serious issues that require serious representation. We are the Law Offices of Guenard & Bozarth. We have over 70 years of experience on our legal team and we also have a former insurance company defense attorney in our plaintiff's only law firm.
