Fashion Designer
I am a designer who is passionate about empowering women. Thoughtfully designed clothes make all the difference. Although my focus is on designing for us short girls, I consider all shapes and sizes when designing. My color addiction has a major impact on my choices, the subtleties in color have everything to do with pulling a look together.
It's been a busy year and a half! I landed in the top 10 of Project Runway season 9, completed my BFA in Apparel Design, made a collection with Wicked Quick for Portland Fashion Week 2011, a YSL-inspired collection for the Forever Darling 5 runway show at the Denver Art Museum in March, and now I'm working on my largest collection to be shown at FashioNxt during Portland fashion week.

A red lump has appeared on my breast just to the right of my nipple. I'm 23 years old, I haven't been to see doctor yet as I'm a little bit worried what are the chances of this been cancerous ??
Breast cancer usually develops inside the breast in the milk ducts or lobules, so it doesn't sound like cancer. This sounds more like a surface skin problem. You will want to let a doctor check it out if it doesn't go away in a week or so. If it looks infected or gets worse, check with the doctor right away.

Fig. 122 B is a diagrammatic representation of the adult eye of a gasteropod.
One of the lowest forms of tongues is that of the gasteropod.
The growth of nearly all gasteropod shells is marked by periods of rest.
A good knowledge of the parts of a gasteropod shell is essential to the student, and it can readily be acquired.
Beautiful pink pearls are found in the gasteropod Strombus gigas, the conch-shell of the West Indies.
gasteropod shells may be sinistral or dextral, according as the whorls turn to the left or right.
In almost all gasteropod and Pteropod larv there is present a well-developed spindle muscle attaching the embryo to the shell.
This is a very curious creature when considered from the point of view of the gasteropod mollusk.
We can tell you even the precise kind—it is the gasteropod kind.
It is apparently the only gasteropod that lives in the open sea and has a large and well-formed spiral shell.

Obama signs measure as GOP concedes; deal averts default
WASHINGTON – President Obama signed into law a measure ending the 16-day U.S. government shutdown and extending the nation's borrowing authority until early next year, the White House said today in a statement.
The measure was passed by wide margins in the House and Senate last night, ending a weeks-long fiscal stalemate between the Obama administration and Republicans in Congress.
The bill passed on an 81-18 vote in the Democratic-led Senate, followed by a 285-144 vote in the Republican-controlled House.
U.S. government workers are to return to their jobs today, the White House Office of Management and Budget said last night in a statement.
Congressional Republicans conceded defeat Wednesday in their bitter budget fight with Obama over the new health care law as the House and Senate approved last-minute legislation ending a disruptive government shutdown and extending federal borrowing power to avert a financial default with potentially worldwide economic repercussions.
With the Treasury Department warning that it could run out of money to pay U.S. obligations within a day, the Senate voted overwhelmingly Wednesday evening to approve a proposal hammered out by the chamber's Republican and Democratic leaders after the House on Tuesday was unable to move forward with any resolution. The House followed suit a few hours later to approve the Senate plan, which would fund the government through Jan. 15 and raise the debt limit through Feb. 7.
Most House Republicans opposed the bill, but 87 voted to support it. The breakdown showed that Republican leaders were willing to violate their informal rule against advancing bills that do not have majority Republican support in order to end the shutdown. All 198 Democrats voting supported the measure.
The highlights of the bill:
• Government Shutdown: Ends it immediately, finances federal agencies through Jan. 15. Workers furloughed without pay when the shutdown began Oct. 1 receive back pay.
• Debt Ceiling: Government's authority to borrow money extended until Feb. 7. Using streamlined procedures, Congress could vote to block the debt-limit extension, but that effort was certain to fail. No constraints on Treasury Department's ability to move funds among accounts once debt limit is reached, in effect extending government's ability to avoid default several weeks beyond Feb. 7 if needed.
• Health Care Law: Department of Health and Human Services must certify it can verify income eligibility of people applying for government subsidies for health insurance. By July 1, the department's inspector general must report on the agency's safeguards for preventing fraud.
• Long-Range Budget Issues: In accompanying agreement, House-Senate bargainers will negotiate over issues like budget deficits and spending levels. Bargainers must issue report by Dec. 13, but they are not required to come to agreement.
• Among Other Items: No pay raise for members of Congress in 2014; and provides an extra $294 million for Department of Veterans Affairs to reduce backlogs of benefits claims.
Shortly after the Senate vote, a relieved Obama said he would sign the measure as he soon as he received it. While he praised Congress, he said he hoped the damaging standoff would not be repeated.
"We've got to get out of the habit of governing by crisis," said Obama, who urged Congress to proceed not only with new budget negotiations, but with immigration changes and a farm bill as well.
"We could get all these things done even this year, if everybody comes together in a spirit of, how are we going to move this country forward and put the last three weeks behind us."
The result of the standoff that threatened the nation's credit rating was a near total defeat for Republican conservatives, who had engineered the budget impasse as a way to strip the new health care law of funding even as registration for benefits opened Oct. 1 or, failing that, to win delays in putting the program into place.
"We fought the good fight," Speaker John A. Boehner, who has struggled to control a conservative faction in the House, said in an interview with a Cincinnati radio station. "We just didn't win."
In a brief closed session with his Republican rank-and-file, Boehner told members to hold their heads high, go home, get some rest and think about how they could work better as a team.
But the bitterness was already festering. Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., took a swipe at Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Mike Lee, R-Utah, as well as House members who linked further funding of the government to gutting the health care law, which is funded by its own designated revenues and spending cuts.
"Let's just say sometimes learning what can't be accomplished is an important long-term thing," Burr said, "and hopefully for some of the members they've learned it's impossible to defund mandatory programs by shutting down the federal government."
But while Cruz conceded defeat, he did not express contrition.
"Unfortunately, the Washington establishment is failing to listen to the American people," he said.

Girl Talk: How My Parents Made Me A Feminist
A few weeks ago, on a first date, a guy told me about how watching his mother — a strong, intelligent woman who held the family together — made him into a feminist. Then he asked me what it was that made me start caring about women's equality. I'm sure he expected that I was going to tell him a traditional "how I became a feminist" story: Dad hauled me to my first pro-choice march kicking and screaming, or my parents were radical separatist lesbians, or Mom was a famous liberal journalist and progressive ideals were in their blood.
Not. At. All.
My blood is the thick, viscous fluid of dirty martinis. My parents contributed to me becoming a feminist, sure. But it was only because as I was a young sprout blossoming into a beautiful flower, they were … kind of sexist. I should make clear that I don't think my parents really were conscious of their sexism. They aren't "700 Club" troglodytes who brainwashed me into believing a woman's role is pumping out babies and bleaching skid marks out of her husband's Hanes. They're both from Connecticut, a fairly liberal state. They both came very close to finishing college. They both read voraciously and filled my childhood with books, classical music, museums, operas and Broadway shows. I grew up seeing and hearing both of them treat smart, accomplished women with deference and respect, especially an older woman with whom my father worked on a political campaign.
But my parents raised four daughters and one son and they raised one gender differently from the other. Growing up — and my sisters have confirmed this — there was always this sense that my brother was special because he was a boy. I've tried to figure out it was purely because of his gender or if it was because he was the one boy in an otherwise very girly family, i.e. a novelty.
Instead, though, I think my parents were of the generation where it was taken as a given that "boys will be boys" and girls are supposed to be "sugar and spice and everything nice." Boys were expected to behave in one way ("bad"), while girls were expected to behave in another ("good"). To them, this isn't "sexism" — it's just the way things are. Mom and Dad were both born during World War II and were full-grown adults with jobs by the time the cultural changes of the '60s rolled around. As a result, I don't think they examined their own sexist beliefs in any real way.
None of this was clear to me when I was a kid. In fact, they let me be a super-tomboy, until I naturally grew out of it by late middle school. (Mom wasn't happy about it, though — she always complained that I never wanted to play dress-up or paint my nails.) I played in the mud, rode my bike all over the neighborhood on adventures, roughhoused with my brother, and played sports with boys in the neighborhood and at school. But things changed when my brother, who is four years older, and I both became teenagers. That's when the sexual double standard became glaringly apparent.
One of the things my mom, especially, had always been strict about was not being in my bedroom with a boy behind a closed door. Boys and I would find ways to discreetly make out anyway (and once I got older I would sneak boys at night in through my bedroom window!), but yeah, the door stayed ajar. She would say similar things to my brother, but it wasn't all the time like it was with me. While she was vigilant about there being no hanky-panky in my bedroom, she was a lot more lax with my brother and his paramours. As a horny teenaged girl coming into her own sexuality, that drove me bonkers.
The sexual double standard also appeared when it came to late nights out. As far as I could tell, my brother never had a curfew. I didn't either, exactly, but my parents would randomly tell me to be home by 11 or midnight. That was extremely frustrating, to know that my brother was waltzing in at any time he pleased when I had to be home by midnight or my dad would be pissed. They also refused to let me go to sleepovers or house parties if my friends' parents would not be around. Sometimes my brother would act all macho and suggest he should go along and "keep an eye on me"; at least one memorable time, my dad seemed thisclose to sending him as my chaperone. My brother was heavily into drugs at the time and yet my parents still seemed to think I was the one who needed looking after.
I found it particularly upsetting when my dad didn't stand up for me when my brother, his friends or even my uncle made sexist jokes or commentary about me. I remember once when I was in college, one of my brother's creepy friends made a comment about my body right in front of my father. My dad is very passive and non-confrontational. In that moment, though, all I wanted him to do was deck this guy. But he didn't say anything. It felt like a huge letdown, like he was tacitly approving of that treatment of me.
I can't remember if I ever called my parents out on this stuff when I was teenager. Knowing me and my mouth, I probably did. But the truly substantive conversations about the way they treat boys and girls differently didn't really start until my older sisters began having children. I have one nephew and three nieces (we are a very estrogen-filled family) and I see the same old patterns repeating themselves. My nephew, for example, is extremely badly behaved and will run around my parents' house screaming and yelling. My nieces are occasionally prone to whining, but are totally less hyper and not at all destructive. But who does my mom scold and chastise?
I've pointed this out to her, that she's harder on the girls than the boy. I've told her it isn't fair that she's letting my nephew behave like a monkey that escaped from the zoo but telling the girls to be "good girls." She has scowled at me a few times, but I keep pointing it out every time I see it. It really bothers me that my nieces may grow up and realize, like I did, that boys and girls get treated differently in this world, including in their family's homes.
I don't mean to sound excessively critical of my parents or how they raised me. I mean, I've arguably turned out OK! I really love my father and there's a lot of good things about him that have influenced me as an individual: my interest in politics, my work ethic, and my love of music. I have wished at times that I grew up with more liberal, progressive, conscious parents that were aware of and concerned about issues like sexism and classism. Numerous times I've felt jealous when another young feminist activist whose mother was a famous feminist activist, or another young feminist writer whose parents raised her on feminism at the teat, get accolades. I feel like I've actually had to come farther to overcome aspects of my upbringing, like all the "good girl" BS. Ultimately, though, I'm proud that I was raised that way and I've learned the values I believe on my own. It's made me much more conscious as a person, as well as an aunt. And I know it will make me more conscious some day when I am a parent, too.

Greens leader
Senator Milne challenged Labor to oppose the devolution of oversight of federal environmental laws to the states, warning the ALP not to "flip-flop" on the issue again.
On Friday, the Queensland government became the first to take charge of approving projects, subject to federal law, when it signed a memorandum of understanding with the federal government.
The federal and Queensland governments agreed to sign a comprehensive agreement by September 18, 2014, that would give Queensland responsibility for oversight and administration of the federal Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Act.
Senator Milne said the signing of the first MoU means it is crunch time.
"People have worked for decades to get environmental laws in place and now people have to choose between the environment or those destructive projects that will destroy parts of the environment forever,'' she told ABC radio.
"This is actually environmental vandalism and it will see massive destruction of areas that Australians regard as precious."
Senator Milne said states and territories already have streamlined environmental assessment processes and assessment documents are already used to receive both state and federal approvals under the current system.
"State governments simply can't be trusted to look after the environment ... Greg Hunt and Tony Abbott know that and they don't care."
Environment Minister Greg Hunt said "significant oversight" would remain in place under the changes, but a single assessment and approval process would be in place to cut delays in project approvals.
"Right across the board, there is a huge duplication of effort and of work,'' he said.
Under the revised system, federal standards would remain in place but over time, Mr Hunt said, he would like to see projects assessed within a timeframe of about nine months, as in New Zealand.
He said the former Labor government had been "mugged by the Greens" when it backed down from a decision to try to put in place a similar one-stop shop for approvals.
But Senator Milne said former prime minister Julia Gillard had backed away from the plan once she had realised what it would mean, citing the WA Government's decision to approve the James Price Point development.
"What we will now see is whether or not the Labor Party will flip flop again. This is a really serious matter for all Australians."

CASNER Name Morphed to Another Spelling
I am researching the family of Henry Casner and his wife Jincy Jane Fields.They were married April 1822 in Ray Co., MO and had twelve children-some born in MO others born in IA.Henry died in 1847 and in 1852 Jincy and most of the family migrated to OR.
There are four sons that simply disappear from all records.Most of the family was illterate and the spelling of the name may have morphed into something else (Kasner, Kastner, Kestener, Kistner, Carsner, etc.).
Would like to communicate with anyone who might have information on the following persons.
(1) Benjamin Casner born in 1824-the last record of him is in April 1846 when he votes in Marion County, IA.
(2) Ebenezer Casner born in 1827 - the last record of him is in April 1849 when he receives a severe beating from locals of in Marion County, IA.
(3) James Casner/Carsner migrated to OR in 1852 with the rest of the family; married twice in OR, the last time in 1883; this last marriage is the last record of him.
(4) Henry Casner - born in 1840; last record is in OR in 1864 where he signs as a witness to some land claims.

A defiant Gov. Deval Patrick finally signed a welfare reform bill into law yesterday — only to say he won't enforce key parts of the measure, drawing the wrath of lawmakers working to crack down on widespread abuses of the system.
Patrick, in a letter to lawmakers, said it's "not feasible" to ban EBT purchases of frills such as liquor, cigarettes, lottery tickets and tattoos — and that "this administration will not enforce what cannot be enforced with respect to the use of EBT cards."

LAHORE - Around 30 million people in different areas of Pakistan are living without electricity and their electrification may take several years, the people associated with the programme say.The goal "Electricity for All" was to be achieved by 2007 by electrifying all the villages in Pakistan, but the financial and power supply shortages are the major reasons behind the non-achievement of this goal. A data reads that out of 125,000 villages in Pakistan, around 95,000 have been electrified and some 30,000 villages are still to be electrified. By determining average population of a village as 1,000, the number of persons living without power in Pakistan in 21st century is touching 30 million. Lack of electricity in the areas means the people are living without televisions, fridges, mobile phones and other basic necessities of life in the 21st century. Former Pepco MD Munawar Basir, talking on the subject, said that leaving aside data, there were thousands of areas in the country, which might not be electrified at all, in foreseeable future, keeping in view the long-term grid expansion plan, energy shortages, lack of funds and other reasons. Besides, he held that in the rural areas, even if a village was electrified or it already had electricity, its access to electricity was a dream due to 16 to 18 hours average power shutdown in the areas. The gap between demand and supply of power was increasing with every passing day, he added. "As the country's electricity demand will rise to around 40,000mw by 2020, the ongoing electricity generation projects and the electrification work in the underprivileged areas seem not to be completed," said the energy expert. A data available with The Nation suggests that the power distribution companies (Discos) in Pakistan have not so far completed electrification of the villages/areas pointed out in the 2008 survey for non-provision of funds and other reasons. The demand is growing speedily and pace of the work is slow, it seems.As per the data, the Fesco (Faisalabad Electricity Supply Company) could complete 88 per cent electrification schemes included in the prime minister's schemes in its limits even after five years. The company electrified 4,092 villages out of 4,641. Similarly, Fesco completed electrification of 721 villages out of 769 in MNAs and senators' grants. The Gepco electrified 2,490 out of 2,800 villages included in the PM's schemes and completed 89 percent work in the areas. The company provided electricity to 178 villages out of 147 in its limits and completed 88 percent work on the schemes to be carried out with MNAs and senators' grants. The Islamabad Electricity Company (Iesco) could complete electrification of 1,792 villages out of 2,176 included in the PM's schemes and left 384 villages even in the federal capital area in the 21st century. Under the schemes to be carried out with MNAs and senators' grants, 270 out of 278 villages have been electrified in the suburbs of Islamabad and Rawalpindi. The Lesco (Lahore Electric Supply Company) provided electricity to 2,522 out of 2,774 villages included in the PM's schemes and 24 out of 29 villages under the schemes to be carried out with MNAs and senators' grants. The Mepco completed work in 16,441 villages out of 20,070 included in PM's schemes and ignored 3,629 villages in the Saraiki belt. The Multan Electric Power Company electrified 1,075 villages out of 1,081 under the schemes to be carried out with MNAs and senators' grants. The data suggests that around 5,222 villages have yet to be electrified in Punjab. The Hyderabad Electric Supply Company (Hesco) provided electricity to 2,985 out of 3,165 villages included in the PM's schemes and 399 out of 437 under the schemes to be carried out with MNAs and senators' grants. The Sukkar Electric Power Company (Sepco) electrified 2,643 out of 2,815 villages included in the PM's schemes and 233 out of 276 under the schemes to be carried out with MNAs and senators' grants. The Peshawar Electric Power Company (Pesco) provided electricity to 5,112 villages out of 6,397 included in the PM's schemes and 1,326 out of 1,434 under the schemes to be carried out with MNAs and senators' grants. The Tesco electrified 944 villages out of 946 in the tribal belt included in the PM's schemes and 20 out of 20 of MNAs and senators' grants.The Qesco electrified 3,093 out of 2,990 villages in the PM's schemes and 481 out of 546 of MNAs and senators' grants. The data describes that around 2,000 villages are yet to be electrified in Sindh, KPK, Fata and Balochistan mentioned in the 2008 survey. In addition, there are more than 20,000 villages/localities in the country which have yet to be surveyed for electrification. An official of the power sector said that villages in South Punjab, hilly areas in north of Pakistan, Interior Sindh, Cholistan region and Balochistan areas along the Iran border are without power supply.The Pepco chief was called to get his version on the matter but his cell phone was off.This news was published in The Nation newspaper.

text: I've owned the toshiba e740 for a while now but once i saw the sony clie PEG-NX70 i had to get one. I'll get the bad out of the way, it's very expensive $599.99 it's one of the most expensive PDAs on the market right now but i never felt as though i got ripped off. It's packed with features including the highest res screen on any PDA(320X480), built in camera for video and still pictures, although most players won't play back the sony video format. It's one of the first palm based PDAs to use Palm OS 5, but pocket PC 2002 is much more prettier, palm os looks like windows 3.1 compared to pocket pc 2002. The design is very slick, if someone displayed this model in a art museum it would be right at home, but at the same time it's heavier and larger than most PDAs, if it was any bigger i would have mistaken it for a laptop. If you have the money you can't go wrong with the clie NX70V, i've been addicted since i bought a month ago and it's a great spy tool as well.

He's been called "the man with five brains" -- and Murray Gell-Mann has the resume to prove it. In addition to being a Nobel laureate, he is an accomplished physicist who's earned numerous awards, medals and honorary degrees for his work with subatomic particles, including the groundbreaking theory that the nucleus of an atom comprises 100 or so fundamental building blocks called quarks.
Gell-Mann's influence extends well beyond his field: He's a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the Council on Foreign Relations. He also serves on the board of the Wildlife Conservation Society and is a director of Encyclopedia Britannica. Gell-Mann, a professor emeritus of Caltech, now heads the evolution of human languages program at the Santa Fe Institute, which he cofounded in 1984.
A prolific writer -- he's penned scores of academic papers and several books, including The Quark and the Jaguar -- Gell-Mann is also the subject of the popular science biography Strange Beauty: Murray Gell-Mann and the Revolution in 20th-Century Physics.

War can be a centrifugal force, pulling together disparate groups who share a common enemy.
But of late years another property of centrifugal force has been brought into play.
There are also other phenomena which demand a centrifugal force in the universe.
If this is the centripetal force pulling a planet or satellite in, it must be equal to the centrifugal force of this latter, viz.
That was because if there were no inertia there would be no centrifugal force.
The centrifugal force has been overbalanced by the centripetal.
The heavier things are, the harder they are thrown out by centrifugal force.
The centrifugal force, which tends to make the machine fly off at a tangent to the curve at which it is turning.
It is all thrown to the other side by the centrifugal force.
Its shape excludes all acts of equestrian vaulting, based upon the support given by the centrifugal force to circus acrobats.
|centrifugal force
An effect that seems to cause an object moving in a curve to be pushed away from the curve's center. Centrifugal force is not a true force but is actually the effect of inertia, in that the moving object's natural tendency is to move in a straight line. See Note at centripetal force.
A force that tends to move objects away from the center in a system undergoing circular motion. Centrifugal force keeps the water in a whirling bucket from spilling or throws a rider in a car against the door when the car goes around a sharp curve. Centrifugal force is actually a form of inertia.

Drought Variability
Drought variability is of crucial importance not only to farmers but also to people throughout the world who rely on food and resources from a region. Unfortunately, instrumental records provide only a limited picture of the size and severity of historical droughts as well as the factors impacting drought variability throughout the world.
Tree-ring data have been used to extend records of past drought. The tree-ring reconstructions show a more complete range of drought variability than is provided by the 20th century instrumental record. The extended records are useful for placing the instrumental period droughts into a longer time frame and for evaluating the rarity of the major 20th century, 1930s, and 1950s droughts in a broader temporal context.
The drought data are in the form of summer (June–August) averages of the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI). Negative PDSI values indicate dry conditions, while positive values indicate wet conditions. PDSI values generally fall between -6 and +6.

Examination of the Flow of High Speed and Thermal Neutrons (BTN-Neutron-Radiation-ISS) - 11.22.16
BTN-Neutron-Radiation-ISS is an external facility that measures the exposure of ISS to neutron and gamma radiation that come from solar flares. This device helps researchers to improve current on-orbit radiation models and examine the complete radiation dose the astronauts and cosmonauts receive during EVAs. Science Results for Everyone
Superman battled Neutron; astronauts battle neutrons. To improve calculations of how much radiation crew members are exposed to during extravehicular activity, researchers took measurements outside the space station. Their findings indicate that radiation amounts vary significantly depending on the station's orbital position. Taking into account differing levels of solar activity, new data confirm the increase of cosmic radiation and harmful neutron during periods of low solar activity.

The posting is referring to the issue that will arise if two users
behind the same NAT will have connecting the same PPTP server. This is
not a m0n0wall specific issue - it is a PPTP issue. The PPTP server will
be confused if there are two connections from the same IP - I think...
If two of your users are roommates and share a cable modem that they
have connected to a Linksys (or any NAT - including m0n0wall) - both of
them will not be able to connect to the office.
As long as you don't have any roommate issues, the m0n0wall will accept
multiple PPTP connections (up to 16 connections on default image...)

'Wreckers' World Premiere Yesterday
Posted by Mia with No Comments
Claire Foy's new movie 'Wreckers' finally had its world premiere during the 55th BFI London Film Festival yesterday. Visit CumberBatchWeb for some shots of Claire Foy at the screening as well as their website BenedictCumberbatch.co.uk to read their review of the film. They had nothing but good things to say about Claire as Dawn:
Claire Foy, luminous throughout. … As Dawn Claire Foy is highly personable giving a very natural performance which grounds the film. We share in her confusion at the events that surround her and she keeps the audience on side even when making some truly terrible decisions. … Wreckers is a haunting, compelling tale of secrets and lies, anchored by superb performances from it's central trio of rising British stars.
The movie is also short-listed for an award at the festival: Director D.R. Hood for 'Best British Newcomer' (source). The movie is scheduled for a theatrical release in the UK mid December and it will be made available on Curzon on Demand service shortly afterwards.

Dam Safety Program
Dam safety in Florida is a shared responsibility among the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), the regional water management districts, the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the local government and private dam owners. Art Sengupta, PE, PG, PMP, coordinates the activities of the State Dam Safety Program. As the State Dam Safety Officer, Mr. Sengupta, is the State Representative to the Association of State Dam Safety Officials (ASDSO).
Current Florida Regulations Regarding Dam Safety
Dam safety in Florida is regulated through several rules, which vary by activity and location.
Dam Safety Program Activities
Information gathering and reporting are conducted by the Engineering, Hydrology and Geology (EHG) Program to maintain the Florida database for over 850 non-federal dams. The dam data and the supporting statistics of the Dam Safety Program are periodically uploaded to the National Inventory of Dams (NID).
Dam safety training is provided by the FDSP for state, regional, and local regulatory agency personnel and dam owners, with the assistance of the ASDSO, in accordance with the performance requirements of the dam safety grant provided through the National Dam Safety Program led by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
Dam inspections in Florida are conducted by agency personnel at the state, regional, and local levels, as related to their respective regulatory programs, as well as by private dam owners. Oversight for phosphate mining and similar industrial impoundments is primarily the responsibility of the FDEP. Other dams generally fall within the purview of the USACE, the State's five regional water management districts, or local government agencies.

All states regulate the possession of controlled dangerous substances (CDS), though each differs in its exact definition of CDS and the penalties for illegal possession. Nevada classifies not only well-known drugs like marijuana, heroin, and cocaine as CDS, but also the compounds used to manufacture them.
This article discusses illegal CDS possession only. Making or selling CDS (or possessing CDS with the intent to do those things) carries different penalties. For more information on CDS manufacture and sale, see Sale of a Controlled Substances in Nevada.
Also, while marijuana is considered a CDS, this article does not cover Nevada's marijuana possession and sale laws. To learn more about that topic, see Nevada Marijuana Laws.
Nevada divides CDS into five "schedules." Schedule I lists the most dangerous drugs, which have a high probability of abuse and addiction, and no recognized medical value. Schedules II, III, IV, and V decrease in dangerousness and probability of abuse, and increase in recognized medical uses.
The sentencing judge may also use these classes to determine the applicable penalties for illegally possessing specific CDS (described in the next section). If you've been arrested for illegal CDS possession, you'll need to consult the Nevada Code that lists precisely which drugs fit into each group. Go to the statute (Nev. Admin. Code § 453.510, 453.520, 453.530, 453.540, & 453.550.) and find the substance you're charged with possessing -- it will be listed under one of the five classes.
It is illegal in Nevada to possess CDS without a valid medical prescription. The judge will consider the schedule and amount of CDS involved when sentencing the defendant within the ranges described below.
Penalties include a fine of up to $5,000, up to one year in jail, or both.
Penalties include a fine of up to $20,000, at least one year (and up to five years) in prison, or both.
Penalties include a fine of up to $5,000, up to one year in jail, or both.
Penalties include a fine of up to $5,000, at least one year (and up to five years) in prison, or both.
Possession of flunitrezepam, gamma-hydroxybutyrate, or a precursor of these CDS (regardless of whether it is a first or subsequent conviction), is punished with at least one year (and up to six years) in prison.
Illegally possessing CDS incurs both heavy fines and long periods of incarceration. A local lawyer who practices CDS defense will review the facts of your case, explain your options, and advise you of the possible consequences.

Perhaps no unit was more maligned for the Indianapolis Colts this season than the defensive secondary. This off season's crop of free agents combined with ample cap space gives the Colts an opportunity to upgrade that unit significantly.
The only returning players with job security would appear to be CB Vontae Davis and S Antoine Bethea. The Colts spent a second rounder to get Davis from Miami and he came on strong in the second half of the season, so he returns as the team's best cornerback.
Jerraud Powers is a free agent and would be worthy of re-signing, but he's yet to play a full season. His injury concerns leave the Colts looking elsewhere for the other starter at corner. Cassius Vaughn played competently in a fill-in role, but is still better suited as a nickel back. He's a restricted free agent. Look for the Colts to make him a tender, meaning they'll get some compensation if he signs elsewhere. But if another team wants to bring him in for starter's money, I don't see the Colts matching that. Darius Butler is unrestricted and could go elsewhere also.
It's a good crop of free agents this off season. Here's who Ryan Grigson may have his eye on:
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie- There are better prospects than DRC out there, but he may be the most gifted at the position who actually becomes available. To say his stint in Philadelphia was a disappointment would be an understatement. Then again, the entire Eagles defense, especially their secondary, was disappointing the last two seasons.
Cromartie recorded 13 picks in his first three years in the league with Arizona. He's good against the run and durable. He's an outstanding physical specimen. If a team can get him re-focused to where he was with the Cardinals, he's All-Pro level.
Chris Houston- Houston has flown under the radar in Detroit, but his last two seasons have been his best. He got lit up against the Falcons this year, but he's in good company. Outside of that game, he surrendered only one touchdown this season. The year before, he picked five passes and took two of them to the end zone. He's only 5'11", so pairing him with Davis would give the Colts two smaller corners, but he's a game-changer back there.
Mike Jenkins- There was talk of a trade with the Cowboys for Jenkins prior to the Colts acquiring Davis, so we know he's on Grigson's radar. Like Rodgers-Cromartie, he's a first round talent that hasn't quite lived up to the hype yet. Like Houston, he's on the smaller side, so the question is whether or not the Colts would go with two small corners.
Tracy Porter- Porter is an intriguing option. Could Colts fans embrace the player who sealed their defeat in Super Bowl XLIV? He is an Indiana alum though. Porter struggled with the Broncos this season, but did have a pick six to his credit. He's still young at 27.
Jacob Lacey- Just kidding. Seeing if you were paying attention. He is a free agent this year, though.
Antoine Bethea has been consistent, if not spectacular. Tom Zbikowski performed competently, but got lost in deep coverage several times. The Colts need to find a big hitter a la Bob Sanders who can make the middle of the field a risky proposition for opposing receivers.
The talk of the off season across the league has been Jairus Byrd of Buffalo. He's not going anywhere, though. Look for the Bills to put their franchise tag on him.
The Colts shopping list for safety should begin and end with one player:
Ed Reed- Reed will go into the Hall of Fame as a Baltimore Raven, but why not let him finish his career with Chuck Pagano and Miami teammate Reggie Wayne? Reed would bring an instant ball-hawking presence and tremendous leadership to the Colts' defensive backfield. Drafting a safety who could study under Reed would also be in order, but Reed gives the Colts the type of defender in the middle of the field that could bring another championship to Indianapolis.
There are younger safeties on the market, like the Giants' Kenny Phillips, but he's coming off a knee injury. Reed makes the most sense at safety.Tags: Antoine Bethea, Ed Reed, Football, Indianapolis, Indianapolis Colts, Jerraud Powers, NFL, Vontae Davis

Achieving sustainable social and economic development
both in developing and developed countries is harder under conditions
of climate change than under conditions of climate stability.
The aims of the UK Department for International Development (DFID),
as set out in the International Development Targets which seek
to reduce poverty, are all likely to be affected to some degree
by the impacts associated with climate change at global and local
scales. International assessments such as the Third Assessment
Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
have begun to address the development, sustainability and equity
aspects of climate change. The underlying vulnerability of populations
to climate change is determined by social, institutional and economic
factors coupled with their sensitivity to climate change impacts.
There are invariably opportunities for adaptation to climate change,
but these must be facilitated within the wider development and
social context.
The UK government is committed both to realising
the goals of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change through
the Kyoto Protocol and to contribute to the World Summit on Sustainable
Development in 2002. The Third Assessment Report of the IPCC states
that the global average temperature is likely to rise above the
1990 level by between 1.4 and 5.8ºC by 2100. Some of this
warming has already been experienced, although the associated
impacts remain difficult to identify with certainty given the
confounding factors of natural climate variability and social
change. The longer-term impacts of climate change, however, will
include shifting supply and access to key resources. These changes
will constitute major challenges to the sustainable achievement
of the human development and environmental aspects of the international
development targets. Efforts around the nascent Climate Adaptation
Fund of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change are increasingly
focussing on seeking sustainable adaptation strategies in combination
with reducing overall emissions trajectories.
The impacts of future climate change will be
clearly socially differentiated impacting on the poorest countries
in the world and potentially threatening development efforts.
The Committee has already recognised in its initial questions
the potential impacts on least developed countries. The latest
reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change show
that small island nations, particularly the low-lying atoll nations,
are particularly at risk, while large numbers of people reliant
on weather-sensitive resources for their livelihoods, from monsoonal
Asia to dryland Africa are also likely to be negatively affected.
The impacts of future change will be felt on resource-dependent
communities and in a multitude of primary and secondary effects
cascading through natural and social systems. Here we address
four key issues: vulnerability and adaptation, the impact of climate
change on inequality, factors that increase vulnerability, and
strategies for adaptation. These are key issues in the formulation
of sustainable development strategies. We conclude with a number
of recommendations.
People's vulnerability to (ie their capacity
to be harmed by) climate change depends not only on the likely
responses of the systems on which they depend, but also on the
ability of people and systems to adapt to change. The vulnerability
of a system to climate change is determined by (i) the likelihood
of occurrence of an unusual climatic event (climatic exposure),
(ii) the physical setting of the system (physical exposure or
sensitivity) and (iii) the ability of the system to adapt
to change (adaptive capacity). A system may be a local
community, a particular economic group or industry, an agricultural
system, a transport network, or a whole society or country. An
unusual climatic event may be a storm, a drought, or a long-term
change to a new climatic regime. Sensitivity will be high where
the system in question includes, for example, settlements built
on flood plains, hill slopes or low-lying coastal areas. Adaptation
may take the form of reducing dependence on vulnerable systems
(for example diversifying food production away from a limited
number of drought-prone crops), of decreasing sensitivity (by
avoiding building settlements and infrastructure in high-risk
locations), or by strengthening existing systems so that they
are less likely to be damaged by unusual events (such as building
houses on stilts or improving drainage in flood-prone areas).
Given the uncertainty inherent in climate change
scenarios, it is difficult to quantify future exposures, although
exposure is likely to increase for developing countries, as discussed
in the next section. However, sensitivity and adaptive capacity
as defined here are not dependent on climate. They may be measured
using contemporary and historical data and interventions may be
made in order to decrease sensitivity and increase adaptive capacity.
The Tyndall Centre is currently funding a project whose aim is
to develop indicators of vulnerability, sensitivity and adaptive
capacity, using socio-economic and geographical data, and data
relating to natural disasters and their consequences over the
twentieth century. This research demonstrates that different geographic
and socio-economic factors cause vulnerability to current climate
variability to vary greatly between countries. A country (or
system at a sub-national scale) that is vulnerable to current
climate variability will also be vulnerable to the impacts of
future climate change. Priorities for adaptation may therefore
be identified by examining the distribution of high-impact natural
disasters in the recent pastthe worst affected countries
will be those that will benefit most from carefully targeted adaptation
measures that are implemented within the framework of sustainable
development programmes.
Developing countries are situated predominantly
in tropical and sub-tropical regions. They are therefore particularly
exposed to climatic hazards such as droughts and floods, which
occur as a consequence of high rainfall variability (both phenomena)
and the development of tropical storms (floods). The IPCC[21]
reports that future increases in sea-level and temperature are
likely to increase the mean and peak precipitation intensities
associated with tropical storms, increasing vulnerability to flooding
and landslides, such as caused the large loss of life associated
with Hurricane Mitch in Central America, particularly in Honduras
and Nicaragua, in 1998. Increasing populations in economically
productive coastal zones (due to birth rates and migration) will
also increase national vulnerability to tropical storms via increased
potential mortality and damage to physical infrastructure. Economic
damage from such events is considerable, often running into billions
of dollars.
The IPCC also reports that, while mean rainfall
is likely to increase over many areas in the mid and high latitudes
of the northern hemisphere, the frequency of extreme rainfall
events is likely to increase everywhere, as will rainfall variability.
Increased rainfall variability will increase the risk of drought
in semi-arid regions such as the African Sahel, and more frequent
extreme rainfall events will increase the likelihood of crop damage
and flash floods. Increased isolated heavy rainfall events are
also likely to increase the rapidity and severity of soil erosion,
which may in turn increase dust storm activity, a serious health
hazard in arid and semi-arid zones.
It is therefore highly likely that the adverse
impacts of climate change will be felt disproportionately by developing
nations situated in the tropics and subtropics, particularly those
already vulnerable to drought, soil erosion, sea-level rise and
tropical storm damage. Within these countries, the poor will be
the worst affected, due to poor housing situated in the most exposed
locations (for example on unstable hillsides), and a lack of capital
with which to purchase foodstuffs in times of scarcity. Poverty
is also associated with a lack of access to healthcare, and with
a lack of coping capacity generally. Climate change thus has a
very real potential to increase inequality both between and within
nations, as the poorest nations and communities suffer the greatest
adverse impacts on mortality, health, infrastructure and economic
well-being. These impacts are likely to have negative effects
on social, political and economic stability, making the countries
affected less attractive for foreign investment and therefore
inhibiting economic growth as conventionally measured, increasing
the gap between rich and poor nations. Perhaps more importantly,
increased exposure will jeopardise sustainable benefits from development
investment unless such investment includes adaptation measures
designed to enhance the coping capacity of developing countries.
Ongoing research at the Tyndall Centre is attempting
to identify how social groups and sectors of the economy are vulnerable
to climate change. In South East Asia, for example, previous work
by UEA researchers funded by the ESRC[22]
showed that vulnerability within localities is determined by levels
of poverty and the distribution both of wealth and income, but
also the distribution of power within communities. Vulnerability,
therefore, is mediated by institutions of governance. In the field
of impacts of natural hazards and disaster relief it has long
been known that catastrophic events typically reinforce underlying
inequalities. Our research in Vietnam and elsewhere has demonstrated
that vulnerability to long-term change fits the same patternthere
will be winners and losers from climate change but the losers
are likely to be those already marginalized.
This research also demonstrated how governance
issues are key in preventing maladaptation, and that there is
potential for institutional change to increase and exacerbate
vulnerability. Economic liberalisation and the negative impacts
of economic globalisation can undermine social mechanisms for
coping with climate change and climate variability. This has been
shown through careful empirical work in developing countries faced
with present day weather extremes that are likely to be exposed
to significant impacts of climate change. Furthermore, trajectories
of economic development vary between countries, and a development
model that is appropriate in one case may be inappropriate in
another. For example, an emphasis on urban industrialisation and
export-driven agriculture is unlikely to solve problems of rural
poverty, and may well exacerbate them, particularly in countries
that have a large rural population of subsistence farmers. Work
supported by DFID, ODI and ESRC[23]
shows that a shift from cash crops to food crops and from artificial
fertiliser to animal manure, and an emphasis on diversity in both
crop types and income sources, has facilitated sustainable agricultural
development in marginal regions of Africa and reduced vulnerability
to drought and famine. Strategies such as these are far more appropriate
to sustainable development in Africa than programmes that aim
to increase economic productivity per capita, which generally
exhibit an urban bias and further marginalise the rural poor.
Adaptation to climate change is not a costless
exercise and investment in adaptation strategies will also inevitably
result in winners and losers. In addition, the nature of uncertainty
concerning the scope and magnitude of climate changes suggests
that some adaptation strategies may turn out to be redundant,
or in the worst scenarios, may actually be offset by maladaptation
in other policies and sectors.
Thus international development assistance appropriately
targeted which brings about sustainable development can enhance
adaptive capacity in the face of climate change. Policy recommendations
on enhancing resilience and alleviating vulnerability should be
targeted more carefully at particular groups and sectors, rather
than simply stating that one country or region is relatively more
vulnerable than others. The key problem is the identification
of adaptation options that minimise the impacts of climate change
on the most vulnerable parts of society. Planned adaptation at
the international scale could, for example, include collective
investment in plant-breeding research for agriculture, early warning
systems for food security, development of transferable infrastructure
technologies for coastal defence, underwriting of particular insurance
markets and other potential investments. These areas potentially
could be supported by DFID and other donor agencies where they
coincide with the objectives of the International Development
Targets. But the range of planned adaptation investment for individual
countries is more limited and specific to the geographical and
development circumstances. Planned adaptation in general forms
only a part of overall coping. Spontaneous reactive adjustments
in resource use and livelihood will be required by communities
whose livelihoods are directly or indirectly weather-dependent.
This adaptation must be facilitated through
governance structures that enhance adaptive capacity, and again
are geographically and culturally specific to different countries
and regions. A key aspect of adaptation is that it is highly context
specific and in order to have sufficient ownership from a broad
array of stakeholders it needs to be carried out in a process-oriented
multi-stakeholder dialogue mode at national and regional levels.
The ability to adapt should be enhanced through
international development assistance. But this does not mean that
resource-dependent communities are victims of climate changepeople
have adapted to climatic changes throughout human history and
will continue to do so. Assessments of the future impacts of climate
change often utilise modelling of alternative future scenarios
to quantify impacts and risks and project that millions of people
may be in danger because of climate change.[24]
Such approaches give important insights into the scale of the
question. But research at the Tyndall Centre has also shown that
many aspects of adaptive capacity are, in effect, latent in the
networks and information of those likely to be affected. Evidence
on adaptation strategies adopted by farming, fishing and other
communities throughout the developing world suggests, though this
has yet to be tested, that some groups within society may be less
at risk than modelling studies portray because of this latent
ability to cope in times of stress.
Migration, for example, is a coping mechanism
used throughout history by societies as part of their resource
utilisation strategies and as a means of coping with climate variability.
Indeed migration, including to urban centres, continues to play
an important role in livelihood resilience to the present day
in many parts of the developing world. There is a high degree
of certainty that areas of the present day developing world will
face greater incidence of extreme weather events in the future.
If desirable migration is not available to those affected, it
may ultimately increase the necessity of displacement migration,
typically undertaken as a last resort when other coping strategies
are exhausted.
There is emerging evidence from Brazil[25],
and the small island developing nations that new migrants even
to frontier areas build up knowledge of the local environments
to promote sustainable utilisation of resources. Migration would
appear to be a feasible climate adaptation strategy in particular
circumstances and particularly for small island nations, which,
regardless of past or future vulnerability, will be particularly
vulnerable to inundation due to sea-level rise; some of these
states may disappear altogether by the end of the twenty first
But the right to migration, particularly international migration
at a time when there are increasing inequities in international
labour flow practice[28],
is likely to be increasingly contested.
So when faced with significant changes in climate
regimes and weather extremes in the future, different societies
will clearly adopt radically different strategies. Their ability
to make a sustainable transition will be determined in part by
their underlying vulnerability and in part by governance issues.
Thus vulnerability to climate change cannot be divorced from the
wider sustainable development questions. Climate change gives
greater urgency for the international development community to
tackle these issues head on.
The Tyndall Centre makes the following conclusions
and recommendations regarding strategies on climate change and
sustainable development:
1. Vulnerability to climate change should
be assessed on the basis of recent vulnerability to extreme weather-
and climate-related events.
2. Small island states with large amounts
of land close to sea-level are particularly vulnerable regardless
of historical vulnerability, as they may be literally inundated
as sea-levels rise.
3. Low-lying small island states and countries
with high levels of poverty and high mortality rates from natural
disasters are priorities for adaptation funding.
4. New adaptation funds must be supplemental
to current development investment, and not a substitute for it.
5. Adaptation measures should include planning,
forecasting, and institution building. The international community
must recognise the right of people to migrate where climate change
is likely to make their livelihoods untenable.
6. Planned adaptation measures must take
careful account of local realities, and care must be taken to
avoid maladaptive practices and practices that inhibit autonomous
7. Conflicts between economic liberalisation
and sustainable development should be identified and efforts should
be made to ensure that economic globalisation does not have maladaptive
consequences for developing countries.
