Veep creator 'loosely' interprets Soviet history in the hilarious trailer for The Death of Stalin
Sixty-five years ago, Joseph Stalin had a stroke and died. Judging by the "loose" interpretation of events on display in the trailer for Veep creator Armando Iannucci's forthcoming film, The Death of Stalin, the ensuing battle for leadership in Stalin's vacuum was darkly hilarious.
Despite being a Russian period piece, the actors — including Steve Buscemi, Jeffrey Tambor, and Rupert Friend — noticeably don't use accents. In fact, if you're looking for much historical accuracy at all, this might be the film to skip. However, if you're on board with a brilliantly absurd political satire, The Death of Stalin opens in theaters on Oct. 20 and you can watch the trailer below. Jeva Lange

Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper found President Trump's speech Tuesday night in Phoenix "so objectionable on so many levels," and said he worries about Trump's "access to the nuclear codes."
James Clapper, former director of national intelligence, says he questions President Trump's fitness for office https://t.co/IRRXg7paZM
— CNN (@CNN) August 23, 2017
Speaking to CNN's Don Lemon, Clapper said that he worked in some capacity or another for every president from John F. Kennedy to Barack Obama, and he can't ever recall watching something "like this from a president that I found more disturbing." Unlike the Trump who spoke Monday night about his strategy in Afghanistan, using carefully scripted words, his rant in Arizona was just like his "unglued" press conference following Charlottesville, where he equated white supremacists to protesters. "This was the real Trump," Clapper said.
Clapper told Lemon he questions Trump's fitness to be president, and is starting to think Trump's outrageous reactions to major events are part of something larger. "Maybe he is looking for a way out," Clapper said, adding that he doesn't "understand the adulation" of Trump's supporters. Above all else, Clapper said, he's concerned about Trump's close proximity to the nuclear codes, and the fact that there is "very little to stop him" if he decided to target North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in a fit of pique. "The whole system's built to ensure a rapid response if necessary, so there's very little in the way of controls over exercising a nuclear option, which is pretty damn scary," Clapper said.

After watching the events in Charlottesville unfold, a Catholic priest in Virginia came forward with some personal information he had kept under wraps for years: In the 1970s, he was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, and served jail time for burning crosses.
Fr. William Aitcheson, 62, was a University of Maryland student at the time, he wrote in the Arlington Catholic Herald on Monday, and an "impressionable young man." In March 1977, The Washington Post reported that Aitcheson was a leader of the Robert E. Lee Lodge of the Maryland Knights of the KKK, and he ultimately pleaded guilty to several cross burnings in Prince George's County and charges that he threatened to kill Coretta Scott King, Martin Luther King Jr.'s widow.
After serving nine months in jail, Aitcheson left for Rome, where he attended seminary. Since being ordained, he has worked in several parishes around the country, and it is unclear how many knew of his involvement in the KKK. He has been in the Catholic Diocese of Arlington for more than 24 years, the diocese tells the Post, and has spent the last four years as a parochial vicar at St. Leo the Great in Fairfax City. The diocese said it "learned of his past as well as his sincere conversion of heart," and has never heard any accusations of racism against Aitcheson from parishioners. Aitcheson wrote that he is stepping down temporarily from his position at St. Leo the Great, and said the "irony" that he "left an anti-Catholic hate group to rejoin the Catholic Church is not lost on me. It is a reminder of the radical transformation possible through Jesus Christ in his mercy." Catherine Garcia
As President Trump was railing against the news media in Phoenix on Tuesday night, The Daily Show's Trevor Noah was looking back at a very different and much more consequential speech Trump had given the night before, laying out his plans for the Afghanistan War. "It was a good speech, and he successfully read it," Noah shrugged. But it had a pretty murky definition of "victory," and was very light on the details. "While we do know that Trump has decided to send more troops to Afghanistan, that's pretty much all we know," he said. "Trump's actual strategy is like his position on Nazis — it's unclear."
Most of Trump's speech featured Teleprompter-reading "book-report Trump," Noah said, but there were glimpses of "freestyle Trump," and he tried to imagine former President Barack Obama throwing in a catchphrase while escalating a war. And even the scripted parts had some surprising assertions, like that Trump is a "problem solver," for example. "Yeah, Trump is a problem solver the same way Godzilla is a city planner," Noah said. "The only way Donald Trump could consider himself a problem solver is if he stops creating problems."
But jokes aside (for a minute), Noah was impressed that the former generals around Trump had convinced him to go against his instincts (and campaign pledges) to pull out of Afghanistan, and also with the "genius" tactics they used, heavy on the visual aids. "I mean, Trump may not care about bringing democracy to Afghanistan, but bringing miniskirts, that's a different story," he joked. Still, now that Trump has decided to send in more troops, Noah wasn't sure what the end goal is, and to highlight how much Trump's new strategy is really just the old strategy, he juxtaposed key parts of Trump's speech with eerily similar Afghanistan War statements by Obama. Watch and wonder below. Peter Weber
CNN's Don Lemon calmly pans Trump's 'unhinged,' childish Phoenix speech, 'a total eclipse of the facts'
Contrary to President Trump's repeated assertions inside the Phoenix Convention Center on Tuesday night, CNN did broadcast his entire campaign-style rally. And as it was ending, to Trump's campaign closing song about not always getting what you want, CNN's Don Lemon shook his head and said he was "just going to speak from the heart here." His heart clearly wasn't impressed with Trump's speech. "What we have witnessed was a total eclipse of the facts, someone who came out on stage and lied directly to the American people and left things out that he said in an attempt to rewrite history, especially when it comes to Charlottesville," he said.
Lemon said Trump blamed his problems on perceived enemies as real as "the imaginary friend of a 6-year-old," and argued that the president of the United States acted "like a child blaming a sibling" for something he himself did. You can watch Lemon's initial reaction to Trump's speech below. Peter Weber

As thousands of protesters stood outside, President Trump spoke to supporters Tuesday night in the Phoenix Convention Center about his response to the deadly white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia; complained about the media; hinted that he'll soon pardon Joe Arpaio, the former Maricopa County sheriff convicted of criminal contempt of court; and said the wall would be built along the U.S.-Mexico border "even if we have to close down our government" to get the funds.
Trump spent the first 30 minutes of his speech defending his Charlottesville remarks and decrying the criticism he received from "dishonest" people who thought he took too long to comment. He re-read his Charlottesville comments, omitting the part where he equated white supremacists to protesters, and accused the media of "trying to take away our history and our heritage" and giving hate groups "a platform."
When Trump mentioned Arpaio, the crowd cheered, and he said: "I'll make a prediction: I think he's going to be just fine. I won't do it tonight because I don't want to cause any controversy. But Sheriff Joe can feel good." He briefly mentioned tax reform, immigration, and getting rid of ObamaCare, and said he wouldn't talk about Arizona's Republican U.S. senators who are "weak on borders and weak on crime." Trump also falsely claimed multiple times there weren't very many protesters outside, and kept saying he could see CNN turning off their cameras, even though the network aired the rally in its entirety.

The U.S. Navy is planning on relieving Vice Admiral Joseph Aucoin of duty as commander of the Seventh Fleet, following four crashes, two of them deadly, in Asia since January, U.S. officials told The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday.
Aucoin is a three-star commander, and he will be removed on Wednesday, the officials said; the Navy declined to comment to the Journal. The Seventh Fleet is based in Yokosuka, Japan, and the most recent collision took place early Monday, when the USS John S. McCain and a tanker crashed in the waters east of Singapore and the Straits of Malacca; 10 sailors were reported missing, and the bodies of some of the sailors were recovered on Tuesday. Catherine Garcia
Jared Kushner, President Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser, will travel to Israel on Wednesday, his third trip to the country since being tasked by the president with bringing peace to the Middle East.
Kushner is scheduled to meet on Thursday separately with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. A person close to the White House told the Los Angeles Times that Kushner is considering this a "temperature taking" trip, and not expecting anything major to come out of it. The White House said the discussions will focus on combating extremism, humanitarian issues in the Gaza Strip, and "the path to substantive Israeli-Palestinian peace talks."
Kushner is already in the region, and along with special envoy Jason Greenblatt and Deputy National Security Adviser Dina Powell, he has been holding meetings with leaders from the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Qatar. Catherine Garcia

STUDENTS from a Stacksteads school have written about the murder of Sophie Lancaster for a campaign to highlight human rights.
Georgina Cross, 13, George Cartridge, 14, and Gabrielle Holmes, 13, of Fearns Community Sports College, all submitted an article to an Amnesty International competition.
The Year 9 pupils wrote about the impact the murder had on the way hate crime is reported for their entries to the organisation's UK Young Human Rights Reporter Awards.
Sophie, 20, from Haslingden, was killed and her boyfriend Robert Maltby was beaten while walking through Stubbylee Park, in Bacup, in August 2007, because of the way they were dressed.
Sylvia Lancaster, Sophie's mother, also visited Fearns to deliver a speech about the incident and the campaign that has been set up in her daughter's memory Gabrielle said the talk was thought-provoking.
She said: "I thought Sophie's mother was a very inspirational lady and I went and thanked her after the talk.
"It makes you think how you do things and how you think about people you see in the street.
"I had watched the animation of the incident Dark Angel before as part of my research but it had a totally different effect on me watching it after hearing Sylvia's talk.
"When I got out of the theatre I just burst into tears."
Sarah Cheshire, humanities co-ordinator at the school, thanked Sylvia for coming and talking to the pupils.
She said: "She really is an inspirational person to bring something good out of such a horrible event and to stand up for all people who are different.
"She should never have had to face this and we all have to learn from it."
Winners of the Amnesty International UK Young Human Rights Reporter Awards will be announced at the end of April.

Brian Schneider has been mentoring new Mets catcher Josh Thole, who had a quick calll-up and only a few days to get used to all of the pitchers.
John Maine could make a start Saturday against the Phillies because it's a double header. He pitched in a Minor League game Saturday and went four innings and allowed no runs.
The Mets are off on Labor Day, but they'll take on the Florida Marlins on Tuesday night. Tim Redding takes the mound as they continue to try to play the role of spoiler, which they did successfully against the Chicago Cubs, whom they beat twice in their three-game series. It was the first series the Mets have won since the end of July.

Question for the Money Doctors
Question submitted on Sep 20, 2011.
QuestionI have a partnership that has paid premiums on a buy sell insurance policy with the partner as the insured and the partnership as the beneficiary. The premiums have always been deducted on the partnership tax return. Are the insurance proceeds taxable or is there a cure that will allow the proceeds to be tax free even though the prior years premuiums were deducted.
The only cure of which I am aware is to file amended partnership returns for the years that are still open under the statute of limitations, which is probably three years. Then the partners would file amended returns as well and report the amended income allocation. There is no cure whereby the life insurance proceeds would be taxable.

Just a Little Personal: Beautiful things in nature, flipping through magazines and catalogs, and just ''playing'' with beads and findings can really inspire me to design jewelry. I often go into a project without a plan -- I simply let the beautiful beads lead the way. Of course, there are times I wake up in the middle of the night with a really great design idea and can barely keep myself from working on it right away.
Making jewelry makes me feel proud and creative. It validates my work when people who know me cannot believe that I've made the jewelry that rivals store-bought merchandise. The number of people who do not know me, but love my work and appreciate me as a serious artist, is mind blowing. It reminds me that if I continue to be creative, upgrade my skill and technique and seek opportunity, the sky is the limit.
My inspiration comes from my love for jewelry. I don't have a particular artistic style -- I am continually growing and learning as an artist. I enjoy all my designs and don't have a specific favorite. I just hope what I create is enjoyed and worn for years to come..

A MOTHER-of-three feared for her life when a robber barged into her home and took thousands of pounds worth of Asian heritage jewellery, including the gold from around her neck.
Sonia Ijaz said the balaclava-clad intruder ripped necklaces and chains from her person, before dragging her around her Accrington home and forcing her to hand over £25,000 of wedding jewels.
The 24-year-old nurse, who had been alone in the house, said she feared she would be 'raped or murdered' by the man, as she noticed a metal object in his pocket which looked like a knife or gun.
Police have appealed for witnesses to help their hunt for the offender, who also stole two iPhones, a laptop and £850 in cash.
It is the latest in a string of Asian jewellery thefts across East Lancashire, including a raid on a home in Arkwright Street, Ightenhill, Burnley, before Christmas where a man was tied up and subjected to death threats.
And in September, detectives said they were looking at whether a spate of similar thefts were linked.
Mrs Ijaz, of Blackburn Road, said she was getting ready to collect her children, aged four, three and one, from nursery and after-school club when she heard the door bell at 5.15pm on Thursday.
She said: "When I opened the door this guy just burst in and told me to take off all my jewellery. I would have fought with him but I thought he might have a weapon in his pocket.
"I started taking some stuff off, but then he suddenly just went for my neck and ripped my chains and necklaces away.
"Then he dragged me upstairs into the bedroom and told me to give him everything. I can fight like a cat and dog but I thought I was going to get murdered or raped, so I knew I just had to hand everything over."
Mrs Ijaz had been given dozens of jewellery items when she married her husband Shahzad Ahmed eight years ago, and kept much of it in a wardrobe in the bedroom.
Her favourite items were a plain gold wedding set which her mother gave her, including a nose ring, anklet, necklace, earrings and headpiece, as well as a long gold necklace with 'Allah' inscribed on a pendant in silver Arabic lettering.
The staff nurse at Royal Blackburn Hospital added: "My mistake was flaunting my jewellery because I used to wear it around every day. You've got to make the most of life and I like wearing my jewellery and colourful clothes, but I never thought this would happen to me.
"I'm just devastated that I've lost everything. I feel naked without my jewellery, but I'm so relieved that my children weren't home when it happened.
"I feel really scared now and don't want to be home alone. I don't feel safe.
"I was so relieved when he finally left. He just told me to sit on the stairs and not to move. I was sitting there and just shaking but I managed to call the police."
Det Sgt Jen Lennon from Lancashire Police has appealed for information to help catch the offender.
She described the man as being in his mid-20s or 30s, and about 5ft 10ins with a local accent. He was wearing dark clothes, had his face covered and was also carrying a bag.
Ring 01254 353562, or 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111 with any information.

There's no doubt that the medispa is here to stay: baby boomers and an increasingly younger crowd seeking preventative measures are all flocking to estheticians and medical professionals providing chemical peels, fillers, microdermabrasion and more. There's a steady market of these clients that are looking for treatments best performed under a doctor's watchful eye, but another market is emerging as well: those who want less invasive treatments but with equally effective results.
According to research firm Global Information Inc., the global cosmeceuticals market is growing at a rate of 7.7% annually, and is poised to reach $42.4 billion by 2018. As the population ages and consumer awareness increases, so does the demand for these medically inspired skin care products.
"We observe a global trend in the cosmetic industry which shows that cosmetic companies are more and more following some processes inspired from the pharma companies," notes Fabrice Lefevre, scientific marketing manager, Induchem. "As a consequence, molecules with a high level of purity, safety and efficiency become the holy grail of cosmetic companies." Brands featuring products with anti-aging ingredients such as peptides, stem cells and bioactives can likely expect to see strong sales—and brands that use effective marketing as well can expect to grow the most of all.
Baby boomers are like any savvy beauty consumer today, seeking products that have both high levels of efficacy and a great sustainability story behind its ingredients. The challenge for the product developer is balancing the demand for effective aging skin care with the demand for all-natural formulations.
"Effective use of the right ingredients and carefully applied technology can make for a successful anti-aging product," says John O'Keefe, director of the North American personal care division for AAK USA. "AAK offers naturally derived bioactive lipid ingredients derived from shea and canola oils—such as our Lipex Shea Tris, Lipex Cellect and Lipex Pre-Act. AAK applies our technology expertise to concentrate the naturally occurring antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds in these oils into ingredients with documented benefits for the skin."
And some natural ingredients can even be created rather than extracted, through the growing use of biotechnology. "The two demands can coexist, as in Lipotec's new Biointec line of marine ingredients occurring naturally in non-genetically modified organisms and obtained through biotechnology—fermentation—for sustainable cosmetics, since there is no harvesting nor extracting from nature," explains Caroline Keller, marketing manager for Lipotec. "Biotechnology involves the use of living organisms to produce natural molecules for a specific use, resulting in optimal bioprocesses to obtain well-defined molecules with a greater reproducibility. Both high-tech cosmeceuticals and organic brands use this type of actives."
Prior to its acquisition by Induchem, the Libragen biotech research center in France was working for the pharmaceutical industry, synthesizing active molecules by biotechnology. "Due to the biotech, green chemistry origin of our molecules, we have the advantage of being able to claim for a fully natural origin," says Lefevre. "Let me take an example: our NovHyal Biotech G, the needle-free hyaluronic filler, is the exact equivalent of a molecule that our body makes when it is young. So this molecule is more than a natural or biomimetic—it is a bio-equivalent one."
Indeed, skin care offerings with medically oriented claims have to go one step further than most beauty products. They have to provide the outstanding, medispa-type results, and they must be able to be performed at home without a physician's presence.
"The big difference between pharma and cosmetic is that in cosmetic field the benefit/risk ratio is infinite, as the risk is close to zero," explains Lefevre. "If our active cosmetic ingredients have a high biological activity, we [conduct] intensive tests to make sure that at the recommended dosage, they will deliver efficacy without any side effect."
This includes making sure products are going to be safe for even the most sensitive of skin. "Due to the increased number of individuals with skin sensitivities, we have a number of brands from around the world that are asking us to create functional skin care products that will improve skin without inundating it with harsh ingredients," says Melinda Wochner, vice president of marketing, CoValence Labs. Agrees Keller, "Products for sensitive skins will increase, since they are more liable to be dermatologically tested and avoid synthetic ingredients."
A dermatologist's or a physician's endorsement can also be a benefit to the marketing story of a product. While it is rarely mandatory, it may give credence to the product. "A physician's recommendation can be helpful to educate consumers about skin biology and how active ingredients can improve the skin appearance through topical application," Keller adds.
When product developers can back up their claims of efficacy with studies, beyond giving credibility to the product, it can add a great deal to the product's marketability.
"I have always thought that what is claimed without proof can be denied without proof," says Lefevre. "As a scientist, I ask for extensive evaluation of our active ingredients." At Induchem, this includes a set of in vitro studies, followed by ex vivo tests and at least two months of clinical trials on a selected population of volunteers. "[Our active ingredients] have a level of purity over 95%, they have been assessed on well-characterized biological targets, they are the result of a rational design by our research center and have gone through intensive clinical testing in a double-blind versus placebo test under dermatological control," says Lefevre.

DETROIT - A man convicted of murder in the death of Taylor Police Cpl. Matthew Edwards will spend the rest of his life in prison.
Tyress Matthews was sentenced Monday to two life sentences. He's accused of shooting Edwards during a confrontation at the Coppertree Apartments on July 23, 2010. Edwards and his partner were responding to a breaking and entering 911 call.
At Monday's sentencing, Matthews said, "I walked away from one incident and was put in another one. But I still tried to walk away."
Edwards' father, David Edwards, said he was satisfied with the guilty verdict.
"My sincere prayer is that Tyress Matthews will cry out to God for forgiveness, so that even though he will be facing justice in this life for his earthly actions, that he will find mercy and pardon, in the life to come," David Edwards said.
Several Taylor police officers had been in the courtroom through the duration of the trial to lend their support to Edwards' family.
The wife of the slain officer, Shannon Edwards, spoke in court in support of the decision, "...Knowing Mr. Matthews, he will receive his due punishment... By spending the rest of his life in prison and never being able to come home to his family. Which is okay with me, because my husband never got to finish his shift."
Mathews has an extensive criminal record, which includes convictions of fleeing and eluding, armed robbery and assault with intent to murder.
Matthews before leaving court flipped an obscene gesture and said he plans to appeal the decision.
Edwards had been with the Taylor Police Department since 2005 and was named Officer of the Year in 2008 by the Police Officers Association of Michigan for his professionalism in a life-and-death situation.

Topic: Patient Advocate Day in Washington DC
On February 29th, the Office of Rare Diseases Research, (ORDR) a division of the National Institute of Health (NIH) held the annual Rare Disease Day on the NIH Campus.
RichardLifton, M.D.Ph.D- Sterling a Professor Genetics and Professor of Medicine, Chair, Department of Genetics, Yale University, spoke of Genomics and the place it is taken in present and future gene research.
He mentioned that at present only 20 % of consequential gene mutations have been identified. (Not all are mutations leading to cancer.)
Group studies most likely will offer the most definite answers to genetic sequencing. He also mentioned that the genes of people of European ancestry differ greatly from those of Asian and African descends.
For those with interest in recruitment for a clinical trial, you might want to take a look at
http://clinicalcenter.nih.gov/recruit/R … atch.html. This federally funded organization has joined with NIH Clinical Center for a national online clinical research recruitment registry. The NIH offers health clinical and translational science awards to academic institutions and ResearchMatch registers volunteers (protects privacy) and contact volunteers when possible match to a clinical trial becomes available. This is of no cost to patients.
Mercy Medical Airlift http://mercymedical.org/ offers airline tickets for patients in financial need who need to reach their medical care destinations. They also coordinate flights in private aircraft owned and operated by volunteer pilots through Angel Flight and Airlift Hope.
For personal information please contact:

The NDRI Rare Disease Alliance has formed the Rare Disease Biospecimen Alliance to facilitate advances in rare disease
http://www.ndriresource.org/NDRI_Initia … isease/30/
One in ten Americans has a rare disease, defined as a disease that afflicts fewer than 200,000 people per year in the United States. Because there are close to 7,000 rare diseases, these "orphan" ailments have a significant collective impact. Research aimed at finding the causes and ultimately treatments for these disorders could benefit millions of people. This is especially so given that research on rare diseases often provides insight into more common diseases.
A a donor registry for organ and tissue research has been established at no cost to patients unless surgery is performed solely to retrieve tissue or organ. NDRI also accepts donations after the passing of a person.
The following day, March 1st, I participated in the first ever FDA Rare Disease Patient Advocacy Day on the FDA campus.
Stephen Groft (NIH) Director of Rare Disease Research spoke of the 18 to 25 million people affected by a rare disease in the U.S. (6% to 8% of population.) All of these diseases vary in disease aggressiveness and behavior.
The FDA's Office of Orphan Product Development (OOPD) in collaboration with NIH Office of Rare Diseases Research (ORDR) states that small clinical trials (in comparison to most other clinical trials) may be appropriate and even necessary for rare diseases.
Research and drug development in the US has slowed significantly. What is interesting is that in 2011 only thirteen new drugs have been approved and out of those thirteen drugs, eleven were approved for rare diseases. As to date only 330 medications have been approved for 250 of the 7000 genetic and acquired diseases.
The FDA is looking to expand the base of patient advocates in order to support and advise in drug development and approval of new and existing drugs.
In order to conduct clinical trials global partnership is necessary.
The US is working closely with The International Rare Disease Research Consortium
Technology/Research/International-Rare-Disease-Research-Consortium-IRDiRC-Statement.html and is conducting clinical trials with Europe, Japan, Latin America, Canada, South Korea, Australia, China, Russia, New Zealand and India.
The TREAT ACT (Transforming the Regulatory Environment to Accelerate Access to Treatments.) is a bill established to create a consistent process and a clear, safe and effective pathway for the FDA. It will encourage the development and accelerate the approval of innovative treatments for patients with rare and life threatening disease.
Drug shortages are beginning to have devastating affects on the patient community. Congress is working on passing legislation to l broaden reporting of these drug shortages to the FDA. In fact, the President has signed an executive order and is asking the patient community to become involved and report these shortages.
The Keynote address was presented by Dr. Stephen Spielberg, Deputy Commissioner for Medical Products and Tobacco.
He emphasized the importance of disease specific foundations and brought to our attention the cystic fibrosis foundation which spearheaded the development of a new drug for those patients carrying a specific gene. (This is for all but 15% of the 30 000 cystic fibrosis patients in the US.) The new drug extends life expectancy to about 50 years.
The foundation's efforts resulted in the organization and support of basic science and the development of a clinical network with numerous investigators throughout the US. Dr. Spielberg encouraged the collaboration between patients, investigative networks, NIH, academicians, sponsors and the FDA in order to positively impact the patient community with rare diseases.
Numerous patient advocates represented a variety of rare disease however; I believe that I was one of very few advocates representing a rare cancer. And, I was heard.

People believe the experience of a smell is impossible to put into words, although odors are expressible in language, as long as you speak the right language, according to psychologist Asifa Majid from Radboud University Nijmegen and linguist Niclas Burenhult from Lund University Sweden.
Majid and Burenhult's recent study published in scientific journal Cognition, noted that studies to date have focused on participants from urbanized Western societies.
"Cross-cultural research suggests that there may be other cultures where odors play a larger role," the authors wrote. "The Jahai of the Malay Peninsula are one such group. We tested whether Jahai speakers could name smells as easily as colors in comparison to a matched English group. Using a free naming task we show on three different measures that Jahai speakers find it as easy to name odors as colors, whereas English speakers struggle with odor naming. Our findings show that the long-held assumption that people are bad at naming smells is not universally true. Odors are expressible in language, as long as you speak the right language."

Los Angeles, CA
Bill Gruen, a noted architectural lighting engineer and long-time SCI-Arc trustee passed away on Sunday, July 14 at his home in Northridge, Calif. He was 96 years old. Gruen was a lifelong fan of architecture and collaborated with a number of noted architects and interior designers to create customized fixtures and effects. He joined the SCI-Arc board of trustees in 2002, and in 2010, he established the Bill Gruen Endowed Fund.
Director Eric Owen Moss remembers Gruen's profound passion and commitment to the school. "SCI-Arc grew from Bill's belief in our capacity to successfully re-invent our pro forma. We thank him for his enduring confidence in SCI-Arc when confidence was not to be taken for granted, his proffer of a fiscal hand, especially in the tough times when there weren't many such offers, and for his undying enthusiasm for the on-going architecture adventure here at SCI-Arc. Bill Gruen—we miss you."
Gruen spent his career working closely with architects and designers. After studying electrical engineering at New York University, he got his start at General Lighting Company in New York, where he worked with designers including Louis Danziger and Ladislav Sutnar. His cousin Victor Gruen—widely recognized as the inventor of the modern shopping mall—inspired him to move west in 1941, with the plan to expand his practice and engage with the growing modern design community of Southern California. In 1946, he and his wife Elaine founded Gruen Lighting, which soon became a trusted source in modern lighting.
For Gruen, the favorite thing about working with SCI-Arc was being able to help the students. "Establishing the Bill Gruen Endowment Fund was a given for me," said Gruen when announcing his SCI-Arc pledge three years ago. "I knew I needed to do something to make sure students were able to enroll and stay enrolled in SCI-Arc. They are our future and the future of the architecture profession." Gruen was preceded in death by his wife, Elaine Gruen.

With Mrs. Chicken and I being empty-nesters for a couple of weeks, last Thursday I decided to make dinner a little nicer than usual by grilling a couple of rib steaks.
I remember that years ago many restaurants used little wooden paddles that indicated a steak's doneness and sometimes they were used to pin onion rings to the meat, but since I don't have any of those paddles I had to use wooden skewers instead. On the plus side they were very handy for some mushrooms as well!
The only paddles I'd need would be the "Rare" ones!
We definitely eat better when the kids aren't around!

Fairfax County to Consider New Zoning Rules to Help Food Trucks Do Business
Update September 16, 2014: The Board of Supervisors is now anticipated to hold its public hearing on these proposed zoning rules at its October 7, 2014, meeting. This hearing date, and the proposal, are subject to change.
June 17, 2014
News Highlights
- Proposed zoning rules allow food trucks to operate at construction sites, office buildings, shopping centers or other developed commercial and industrial properties.
- Trucks will need a $100 permit, permission from property owners, plus a $35 Solicitor's License and $40 Food Establishment Permit.
- They can stay at any single location for four hours, but they may go to multiple locations. However, trucks still may not park on public roads to sell food.
Fairfax County is considering new zoning rules that will make it significantly easier for food trucks to do business. The proposal allows these trucks to operate at construction sites and commercial and industrial properties, such as office buildingsand shopping centers.
The suggested rules were developed in consultation with industry. While the new regulations were being formulated, the county gave zoning approvals to 14 trucks last year to vend at primarily commercial locations
"Food trucks are becoming a popular venue as an alternative to traditional sit-down and fast food restaurants," said Fairfax County Chairman Sharon Bulova. "I've enjoyed working with the food truck industry and Fairfax County's hospitality industries to find ways to accommodate this use."
The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors authorized moving forward on the proposal today. The Planning Commission is anticipated to hold a public hearing on July 30, and the board is expected to conduct its public hearing on September 9.
Food trucks still may not park on public roads to sell food, however. This continues to be prohibited by Virginia Department of Transportation regulations and county code, regardless of whether the proposal passes. The proposed zoning rules only apply to private property.
Under the previous rules, food trucks were zoned as freestandingfast-food restaurants, and this classification required them to obtain a special exception from the Board of Supervisors. These exceptions require a $16,375-fee, plus twopublic hearings.
In contrast, the proposed rules allow trucks to function with an annual $100 zoning permit, permission from property owners, and other required permits and licenses. The District of Columbia's fees range from $476 to $1,200 for two years, and Arlington requires an annual $500 vendor fee.
Fairfax's recommended rules permit food truck operation to do business as follows:
- Trucks must apply for a single, annual $100 zoning permit, along with a $35 Solicitor's License from the Department of Cable and Consumer Services and $40 Food Establishment Permit from the Health Department.
- Trucks must have written consent from property owners to do business at their location.
- Property owners must apply for a one-time $100 food truck permit, and they must detail where the trucks will be located. They may not block a property's entrances or exits, travel or fire lanes, or required parking spaces.
- Trucks may stay at any single location for four, hours in total (including set up and take-down), but they may sell food from multiple locations. Property owners and food trucks must specify the time period for operations, but they may only be during a property's normal business hours.
- Up to three trucks may operate at any single location.
- Trucks may only sell food at developed industrial or commercial properties that have a minimum of 25,000 to 30,000 square feet in gross floor area. The Board of Supervisors will decide whether the threshold is the lower or higher square-foot figure. This threshold is based on how the Zoning Ordinance currently defines an offices park. They must be a minimum of 30,000 square feet, but the Board of Supervisors will decide on whether to use the higher or lower minimum square-footage figure.
- Trucks may not be the primary or principal use at a lot. Under the proposed regulations they are considered an accessory use.
The rules also clarify that food trucks are allowed on county property or Fairfax County Park Authority land. The parks currently have 10 locations where trucks are licensed to do business, and separate permits are required.
County officials may revoke a food truck permit or property owner's permit if they do not comply with the zoning rules.

A LANCASHIRE Telegraph reporter has raised more than £300 for a Haslingden charity after completing the Liverpool Half-Marathon.
Chris Adams, 25, finished Sunday's 13.1-mile course in one hour, 42 minutes and 21 seconds.
So far, supporters have pledged £312 to the Sophie Lancaster Foundation, based in Deardengate, which tackles hate crime through educational visits to school.
Sophie's mum, Sylvia, set up the charity after Sophie was beaten to death in Stubbylee Park, Bacup, in 2007 because she was dressed in Gothic clothing.
Mr Adams said: "I initially had a target of £100 but I revised that to £300 quite quickly and we've beaten that target too.
"I've been lucky enough to see Black Roses, the play based on Sophie's murder, twice in the last month and heard Kate Conboy-Greenwood and Sylvia from the charity talk to people afterwards.
"It really helped hit home how important their work is and I'm delighted to be able to contribute something towards that."

Wheaton College 1960 About Robert Brabenec Dr. Robert Brabenec began teaching mathematics at Wheaton College in June 1964, and after a two year tour of active duty as an Army captain in missile intelligence, he returned to Wheaton in 1967 to become chair of the newly formed Department of Mathematics. Over the years, he has developed a special interest in the history and foundations of mathematics, integrating these ideas into most courses that he teaches. In 1977 he began the organization that is now called the Association of Christians in the Mathematical Sciences. This organization of about 300 members sponsors a major conference every two years and supports other activities to help Christian mathematicians and computer scientists see connections between their academic discipline and their Christian faith. The website is at http://www.acmsonline.org. Dr. Brabenec is the author of two books, Introduction to Real Analysis, published by PWS-Kent in 1990, and Resources for the Study of Real Analysis, published by the Mathematical Association of America in 2005. He has written several articles and given many talks on topics dealing with calculus and analysis, as well as mathematical history and pedagogy. He spent his first six month sabbatical in 1988 at the Universitites of London and Cambridge and a second sabbatical at the University of Virginia in 1995. Two additional sabbaticals were spent in Cambridge, England in 2002 and 2006. In the fall of 2009, he spent another sabbatical traveling to 15 Christian colleges, where he presented over 50 talks on topics of mathematical history and foundational topics, and how they connect to faith issues. Dr. Brabenec and his wife have 3 children and 8 grandchildren. They enjoyed travel, general history and biographies, and visiting museums and historical sites during their 46 years of marriage until her death in 2007.

Looking for a belt that fits can be a pain in the butt, especially when you finally find one you like and it cost a lot more than what you wanted to spend.
I have done this for years, that's probably why I only have 4 belts. Don't get me wrong, I do want to wear more belts. They can add so much to a look, all while helping to show off that curvy figure.
Just My Size wants to help us with our belt problems, they have just launched a new belt collection. If you haven't seen them in your local Walmart, it's probably because they've only launched them in select stores nationwide.
You can find that list of stores here. Make sure you "Like" them on Facebook, so you can see that list.
There are only four of the nine styles and they only cost $12! They are available is sizes 1X-4X. That makes me a very happy shopper.
I tried out the Metallic Silver Black Leopard Print Belt and Wide Stretch Belt. The quality seems great and I love the trend twist to each belt. I am a size 16/18 and the 2X in each belt fits well. The stretch belt does seem to run a little big for me, but that's OK. I hate wearing a belt that's too small. That's not something you have to worry about with the Just My Size belt collection.
Do you want a belt? Today's you're lucky day. Just My Size wants to giveaway a belt to three of my readers!!
To enter, you should be following me via Google Connect (on sidebar). Just leave a comment below telling me which of the belts, you'd choose if you won. It's that easy.

Collection Time Period
This collection covers records for the years 1773 to 1806.
Record Description
This is a collection of abstracts of wills and administrations originally recorded at the consistory court, Llandaff diocese. Information in the abstracts was extracted, independently checked and proof-read. They are an excellent working guide to the names, relationships and place names contained in the original documents.
Probate extracts generally include the following:
- Name of the deceased
- Residence
- Type of document
- Death date
- Probate date
- Burial place
- Names of heirs such as spouse, children, guardians, and other relatives or friends along with their relationship to the deceased and their resedence.
How to Use the Record
Use the locator information found in the index (such as page number) to locate your ancestor in the abstracts. Compare the information in the abstract to what you already know about your ancestors to determine if this is the correct person. You may need to compare the information of more than one person to make this determination.
When you have located your ancestor's abstract, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details that can lead you to other records about your ancestors. Add this new information to your records of each family. For example:
- Use probate records to identify heirs and relatives.
- You may be able to use the probate record to learn about adoptions or guardianship of any minor children and dependents.
- Probate records may not give an exact death date, but a death most often occurred within a few months of the date of probate. Use the document (such as the will) or the recording dates to approximate a death date.
- Use the information in the probate record to substitute for civil birth and death records since the probates exist for an earlier time period.
- You may be able to use the probate record to learn about land transactions.
- Use the birth date or age along with the residence or place of birth of the deceased to locate census, church, and land records.
- Use the occupations listed to find employment records or other types of records such as land records, tax records, or military records.
- Compile the entries for every person who lived in the same parish as the deceased, this is especially helpful in rural areas or if the surname is unusual.
- Continue to search the records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives who may have died in the same county or nearby. This can help you identify other generations of your family or even the second marriage of a parent. Repeat this process for each new generation you identify.
- When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct.
Keep in mind:
- The contents of probate records vary greatly depending on the prevailing law, local customs and the personality of the record keeper.
- There is also some variation in the information given from one record to another record.
- Although extracts are often easier to locate and to read than the actual probate documents, it is always a good idea to also read the original probate documents as small details are often omitted from extracts.
- Probate records may omit the name of the eldest son who received his inheritance according to law, others who previously received their inheritance, or deceased family members.
- Probate records may mention children who are from a spouse's previous marriage or mention a spouse who is not the parent of the children named.
- Transcription errors may have occurred.
If you are unable to find the ancestors you are looking for, try the following:
- Check for variant spellings of the surnames.
- Remember that the patronymic naming system was used in Wales. The adoption of fixed surnames did not happen at one time for all families or the country as a whole.
- Search the indexes and records of nearby counties.
- Search the indexes of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury
Record History
Although any person, regardless of class or wealth, may have left a will or might be mentioned in one, wills were made primarily by the middle and upper classes, mostly by males with property. Before 1882 a wife who died before her husband could not make a will except with her husband's consent or under a marriage settlement created before her marriage. A widow, however, could make a will.
Before 1750 heirs often did not prove wills to avoid court costs. The will was often kept in case someone later objected to the distribution of the property. As a result, sometimes wills were probated decades after the testator's death. Some archives have collections of unproved wills. Others may be among family papers.
Until 1833 real property could be entailed. This specified how property would be inherited in the future. An entail prevented subsequent inheritors from bequeathing the property to anyone except the heirs specified in the entail.
The National Library - Wills National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth holds copies of wills proved in Welsh ecclesiastical courts.
Why this Record Was Created
Probate records are used to legally dispose of a person's estate after his or her death. The probate process transfers the legal responsibility for payment of taxes, care and custody of dependent family members, liquidation of debts, and transfer of property title. The transfer is to an executor or executrix if the deceased had made a will, to an administrator or administratrix if the deceased had not made a will, or to a guardian or conservator if the deceased had heirs under the age of twenty-one or if heirs were incompetent due to disease or disability.
Abstracts are created to summarize the details of the will or probate documents.
Record Reliability
The records are quite reliable because of their legal nature.

Annual Safety and Security Report
This section of the Public Safety web site is intended to provide information related to campus security and safety including crime statistics, policies and procedures, and other information designed to inform students, employees and visitors about prevention of crimes and how to respond if a crime occurs.
The "Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act" (Public Law 101-542) mandates that certain information, including selected crime statistics, be reported to students, employees and prospective students and employees.
Departments reporting to the Dean of Students as well as the Department of Public Safety record crime statistics throughout the calendar year. In preparation of this report, all recorded statistics are forwarded to, and compiled by, the Department of Public Safety. This brochure is published in compliance with the law and provides information that is of importance and interest to those who work and study at Roger Williams University.
Maintaining Security
We at the Roger Williams University Department of Public Safety are concerned about the welfare, security and safety of every individual at Roger Williams University. However, maintaining a secure and safe campus environment can only be achieved through a cooperative effort of the entire University community.
The Roger Williams University Department of Public Safety is organized under the Division of Student Affairs. The Department consists of a Director, Associate Director, uniformed officers who offer services at the Bristol and Providence campuses, emergency medical technicians, as well as, shuttle drivers. Additionally, students are employed to augment security operations.
The Department strives to provide high quality security, safety and crime prevention services that meet the needs and standards of a progressive academic institution. The Department is responsible for providing security and safety for the entire University community. Public Safety Officers provide a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week security service for access control, vehicular patrol, bike patrol and foot patrol.
Officers do not carry firearms nor do they have police powers of arrest. However, the Department of Public Safety has close and highly effective working relationships with state and local police, who can provide these services to the campus in a timely fashion, if required.
Maintaining Relationships
The Department of Public Safety also has close and highly effective working relationships with other organizations, on and off campus. Working closely with the Dean of Student Affairs, the Director of Student Life, the Directors of Housing and Residence Life, Department of Student Programs and Leadership, Department of Health Services, Office of Facilities Management, and the Student Senate, the Department of Public Safety endeavors to meet the needs of the student population. Additionally, well-established relationships with local, state and federal agencies enhance campus security and law enforcement operations.
As previously noted, maintaining a safe and secure campus is not the sole responsibility of the Department of Public Safety. We encourage all individuals who are on this beautiful campus to be conscious of their surroundings and assist in making security and safety a matter of routine in their activities.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/6/2011 (2270 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Finance Minister Jim Flaherty has made it clear that the subsidy of $2 per voter for the political parties in federal elections will come to an end. These payments are made on an annual basis, but they will be phased out over the next four years, probably on a diminished basis each year.
The Conservative Party itself will be hardest hit, but its finances are in so much better shape than the other parties that the end of this subsidy will help the Tories on a comparative basis. Last year, based on the election results of 2007, the Conservative Party received more than $10 million in the per vote subsidy, the Liberal Party more than $7 million, the NDP $5 million, the Bloc Québécois almost $3 million, and the Green party close to $2 million. That will all change as a result of the 2011 results, which would improve the position of the Conservative Party and the NDP, but drastically reduce the subsidy to the Liberals and the Bloc.
Now that there is a majority government, there is little doubt that the subsidy will be terminated, despite the joint opposition of the other parties.
The per-vote subsidy is but one method of financing political parties. Perhaps the reason the government is about to end it is because its other means of raising funds are far ahead of the other parties'. There are rebates of election expenses that favour the winning party, and like the per vote subsidy, are a direct payment from the public coffers. The political parties also benefit from the tax deductibility of political contributions. Unlike charitable donations, the deductions are directly off the taxes that are otherwise payable, not off taxable income, and the scale of the deductions is very substantial, particularly for gifts of $500 or less.
The Conservative fundraising machine has proven to be far more efficient in raising "tax supported contributions" than the other parties' fundraisers. There are limits on political donations. Corporations and labour unions cannot make contributions, and individuals are held to a maximum annual donation of $1,100 -- a sum that should be increased.
I was watching some of the talking heads on CBC the other day when one of the commentators expressed surprise that the entire system of subsidies and supports has not been challenged as being unconstitutional. But it has. The constitutional challenge was not to federal government policies, but the policies of the provincial government in Manitoba, and it happened back in 1984.
The case is MacKay versus Government of Manitoba and it was argued before the Manitoba Court of Appeal in October of 1985, and decided a month later. The issue that was raised and argued was whether the provision of the Election Expenses Act of Manitoba, providing subsidies to provincial candidates and parties in Manitoba, was contrary to Section 2(a) and (b) of the Charter of Rights. That is the section of the charter that states that everyone has "freedom of conscience..." and "freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression." The question before the court was whether it was contrary to the charter for the government to support political parties, which in turn enabled those parties to publicize their positions and platforms, which might be inimical to the taxpayer who is required to participate in paying the subsidy.
One does not need to look too far to understand the grievance. For years the Bloc Quebecois has received substantial subsidies which were used to preach the gospel of secession throughout Quebec. Is it contrary to freedom of conscience, or freedom of thought, belief and expression, to require taxpayers to subsidize that propaganda? The Conservative party succeeded in gravely damaging Michael Ignatieff with their attack ads, long before the election itself. Should the public be required to subsidize the cost of these intentionally misleading personal attacks?
The MacKay case resulted in a split decision with Judges Twaddle and Philp holding that charter rights were not violated by the Manitoba legislation, while I dissented and held that the subsidies were unconstitutional. I must concede that the majority view may well be the right one. For the majority, Judge Twaddle wrote:
"The impugned provisions of the Election Finances Act, in providing for state reimbursement of some election expenses... do not impede the freedom of the applicants, or anyone else, to think what thoughts they will... ; nor do they restrict the applicants from expressing their own views and incurring whatever expenditure they think appropriate for the purpose."
On the other hand, I was of the opinion that freedom of conscience was engaged. It was conceded that the legislative program of the government, no matter how offensive to some of the electorate, could not be challenged on basis of Sec. 2 of the charter. However, it was argued that it contravenes the charter to require the applicants to contribute to the cost of the propaganda of political parties seeking public support for their positions. My response was:
"In my view there is no answer consistent with Sec. 2 of the charter other than the state cannot become involved in the financing of political propaganda."
The decision of the Manitoba Court of Appeal was appealed further to the Supreme Court of Canada, and in a most unusual decision, the Supreme Court did not provide its opinion on the merits. The Supreme Court said that there was an insufficient factual matrix to enable the court to render a decision. (It never occurred to the members of the Court of Appeal that there was any shortage of material facts on which a decision could be made.) As a consequence, there never has been a definitive ruling on this important constitutional question.
An ending of all forms of subsidization would be desirable because the constitutionality remains an open question until there is a ruling by the Supreme Court. In addition, it is simply bad public policy to use taxpayers' dollars to fund political parties and their messages. Unfortunately, there is no immediate likelihood that someone with deep pockets will challenge the constitutionality of the various kinds of subsidies to the Supreme Court level. Equally unfortunately, while the current government will move to delete one kind of subsidy, it appears unwilling to cancel all subsidies -- even those that it would like to retain in its own self-interest.

KStew Vs. Charlize: The 'Snow White' Red Carpet Sexy Leg Showdown!
KStew wore sneakers! Charlize wore booty shorts! And the guys, Chris Hemsworth and Sam Clafin, were mouth-wateringly hawt!
-PJ Gach
Lucky London! Yesterday they got the premiere of Snow White and the Huntsman. We've got to wait until June 1 to see the movie. Boo! The trailers for SWATH have been mesmerizing and terrifying. Those two words could describe yesterday's red carpet too!
We saw the "Oops, my undies are showing" trend at the Met Ball and sadly it was seen again (my eyes! My eyes!). Honestly does the world really need to know that Charlize Theron is wearing a bodysuit or whatever that thing was under a gown? I once said that Charlize Theron is one of the few women who could wear a hefty bag and look good. I now take that back.
For the first time ever (I think) the guys outshone the gals on the carpet. Chris Hemsworth, Sam Clafin (remember him from that Pirates movie) looked glossy, sexy and hawt.
Let's get on with the show
Kristen Stewart
Oh what do we have here? KStew's wearing a black lace gown from Marchesa. A commenter on the Daily Mail said it best, "Kristen looks like she is impersonating a hairy monster!!!"
Kristen slipped out of her sneakers and into Jimmy Choo Eros platform pumps for more photos. Speaking of photos, shouldn't Kstew realize that when she's on the red carpet, cameras are following her?
The dress looks like a collection of very old, hairy doilies. The weird rufflle near her nether regions isn't exactly flattering. We did, however, love her Kara Ackerman Tallulah Eternity stackable ring. It's pretty and affordable–only $75!
Charlize Theron
Charlize wore Dior Haute Couture and stunning emerald jewelry from Solange Azagury-Partridge. And someone's booty shorts.
If the dress had more layered underskirt, it could have had a more vintage glam look, like a cross between an Orry-Kelly gown and something that Emma Domb would have created. /p>
At least she had fun. Here's Charlize being hugged by Sam Calfin. Lucky gal.
Lily Cole
Does this dress look familiar to you? It's Pippa Middleton's maid of honor dress in black! Model Lilly Cole who plays Rose in the movie, looks sleek and sexy in it. Love that she paired sparkly orange heels with the dress.
Liberty Ross
Another model turned actress, Liberty Ross, who's Queen Eleanor in SWATH, brings much needed color in an electric blue sequined gown by Tom Ford.
The Men
Chris Hemsworth
A well-rested looking new daddy, Chris Hemsworth looks every inch the leading man in a gray suit and open necked black shirt.
Is that a man bun Chris is sporting?
Read Hilary Swank, Dakota Fanning + Paula Patton Are the Best Dressed at the Met Ball
Sam Clafin
Sam Clafin set hearts aflutter in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and he definitely turned a few heads at the premiere yesterday.
Here he is with his girlfiend, Laura Haddock. Don't they make a cute couple!
Tell us: what do you think Of Kristen and Charlize's outfits?

Rollins ranked second in Division II and was tied for 15th overall in this year's ranking.
NCSA's Collegiate Power Rankings assess the academic and athletics standards of all NCAA athletic programs across the country. The rankings were developed to help prospective student-athletes and their families evaluate the particular strengths of the top colleges and universities at the Division I, II and III levels.
The Collegiate Power Rankings from NCSA Athletic Recruiting are calculated for each Division I, II and III college and university by averaging student-athlete graduation rates, academic rankings provided by U.S. News & World Report, and the strength of athletic departments as determined by the U.S. Sports Academy Directors' Cup ranking.
The Tars ranked 51st in academics, 20th in athletics and continued to have one of the highest NCAA Graduation Rates in the country. Only UC-San Diego ranked higher than Rollins in the division. Williams and Amherst topped the overall rankings while Duke and Notre Dame tied for third and Stanford rounded out the top-five.
Rollins has been in the rankings six of the 10 years the poll was released. The Tars were fifth in the initial poll, 16th in 2006, 45th in 2007 and 13th in 2010. Last season, Rollins was third in Division II and 37th overall.

A smaller carbon footprintThursday, July 24th, 2008
Desktop events company BroadView has published a report showing how delegates at a conference broadcast from New Orleans saved an average of 3.7 tonnes of Co2 each, by not attending the event in person.
It's not just big events with attendees from all over the world where reducing travel helps the environment. At Yuuguu, we're seeing how our customers are reducing their everyday carbon footprint, by collaborating online rather than travelling for face-to-face meetings. A great example is this case study of Remote New Media, who use Yuuguu as a support tool for their customers. Our remote desktop sharing and control features have allowed the company to improve its customer offering while supporting their environmental approach to business.

VERNON -- A 57-year-old Ashford man charged with trying to abduct a woman at the University of Connecticut is due in court to face charges of attempted kidnapping and attempted aggravated sexual assault.
Bruce Ursin is scheduled to be arraigned Friday in Rockville Superior Court.
The woman told police she was walking on Horsebarn Hill Road Thursday afternoon when a masked man with a pistol drove up and told her to get into his pickup truck. She ran and called police.
University officials sent a text message alert about the incident to the UConn community, and a person who received the message saw the truck in Ashford and called police.
Ursin was arrested and held on $1 million bail. It's not clear if he has a lawyer.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Jim Cramer told "Mad Money" viewers Wednesday he's got an eight-point plan for higher stock prices and a better America, just in case either candidate wishes to adopt it.1. Eliminate the tax on dividends. Cramer said eliminating this tax would encourage more companies to pay dividends and reward shareholders for investing instead of trading stocks. He also supported raising the capital gains tax as further incentive to keep investors in the markets for the long-term. 2. Level the playing field. Cramer said he would appoint a strong attorney general and SEC chairman to go after insider trading and clean up Wall Street for good. 3. Embrace natural gas. Cramer said he'd mandate that all federal vehicles use American-made natural gas, a move that would not only force the needed infrastructure to be built, but also allow for the cutting of the defense budget, the balancing of the trade deficit and the elimination of the need to burn corn for ethanol. All by supporting U.S. fuels instead of OPEC oil from hostile nations. 4. Put low interest rates to work. Cramer suggested the Treasury take advantage of historically low interest rates by issuing $500 billion in 30-year debt for infrastructure projects and another $500 billion to reduce the deficit and secure our financial future. 5. Place tariffs on goods that pollute. Cramer said our country needs tariffs on goods that come from countries with lower pollution standards to level the playing field and stop companies from moving their manufacturing to places where the environment is not a concern. 6. Teach financial literacy in schools. It goes without saying that our younger generation needs to be taught about money, savings, investing and how the global economy really works. 7. Appoint a competition czar. Cramer said our country needs someone to aid U.S. businesses become more competitive around the globe and help them attract the best talent. 8. Reappoint Ben Bernanke as Federal Reserve chairman. Cramer said Bernanke has done a stellar job so far and deserves the opportunity to continue his work.

Our beloved Yak, Yak Nicholson, has been disappearing lately, and we have been wondering what he has been up to. Well, now we know. He has been spotted on The Amazing Race!
Yes, that's right, the Yak and his friends have co-starring roles tonight, carrying the current racers down a waterfall and through a river. Looks like he even got backstage make-up for this one! (We just wonder how much he got paid for this, and whether or not this will go to his head.) He tells us that the easiest team member to carry was Cord, as he knew, somewhat, how to ride. He also says that the most fun rider was Mallory, and Justin kept him nice and warm.
At his request, we have included a few pictures below to show off his "Yak Skillz" as he likes to call them. So, enjoy, and he would also like you to leave a "fan message" to him below. Oh, and don't forget to join us in his Forum HERE during the race where we will be rooting the teams on, jeering some others, and complimenting him up a storm of course![imagebrowser id=16]

HOUSTON - While we're not expecting to break any temperature records this week, it is going to feel MUCH different outside than it did last week.
The persistent north wind from last week will be replaced by a persistent southeast breeze this week, and that means two things -- higher temperatures and higher humidity. Look for afternoon highs to top out near 80 by Wednesday and Thursday. Morning lows will be in the mid 50s to near 60 degrees. Of course, Wednesday is a big travel day and Thursday is Thanksgiving. Both days should present no problems for any of us -- unless you're not a big fan of warmer-than-normal weather!
Rain will be hard to come by this week, too. A weak cold front will push through the area late Friday. It brings a 20 percent chance for spotty showers to the area on Black Friday. At 20 percent, the rain won't present an issue for bargain shoppers on one of the biggest shopping days of the year. Most of us will probably stay dry. The front won't bring a huge drop in temperatures, either. Highs this weekend will be in the mid 70s.
So prepare for this big holiday week without worrying about the weather. Just worry about which short-sleeved shirt you plan to wear to your Thanksgiving get-together!
