This product is high quality. It looks good and it is made well. I am 5'9'', 190lbs and it fits perfect. The length is at the top of my knee which I think is about right for swimming.
I'm really happy with my purchase.
absolutely loved these shorts, but unfortunately they're shorter than some of the board shorts you've made in the past...these are cut above the knee, where the other board shorts i've purchased from UA have been cut on the knee cap or just below it. Any chance you can make these longer?
As some have commented previously these shorts can be a bit snug around the waist. I wouldn't say as dramatic as a size 36/38 feeling like a 32, but definitely a bit on the smaller size of waist measurement. I normally wear between a size 32-34 and I ended up quite comfortable in a 32. depends on how high or low you wear them as well I guess. Other than the sizing issues these shorts are durable, have lots of give for when you need it and dry quickly. I bought a second pair after I wore my first pair on vacation.
I love your board shorts, but they're always sized smaller than listed. Aside from a little discomfort with the fit, everything else about these shorts are great. The stretch and movement are great and you don't have to worry about your range of movement being restricted.
As for the snugness, I'm sure it'll fit better once the warmer seasons come around.
I own many pants and shorts from UA, I bought a pair of these in 38. I usually wear a 36 or 38 in UA and thought they be ok and a little baggy with a 38 but being boardshorts that would be ok. These were more like a 32 or 34, ran into this problem with UA a few times where an item is horribly sized. Still a fan of their products, just need consistent sizing...

The idea that Trump would suddenly change direction once elected seems to be happening. Cunning ploy? Or is Trump in electioneering mood a different beast from everyday Trump? It's possible, as many professional politicians are like that. Is a dose of that old New York liberalism working its way through the system again? Or is he just saying what he thinks will keep the electoral college from becoming faithless?Doubtless I'd know if I looked at Twitter, but I'm going to start looking at Twitter about the time I start regarding Pravda or Fox as reliable information sources.
Yeah, Pravda is just part of the Liberal Media Agenda.
Can someone tell me what's the deal with the frogs?
I presume it is something to do with the Netflix series "Stranger Things"; though I've not watched it, and so don't know for sure.
Are you accusing our Glorious Leader of hypocrisy? Don't stand too close to me, citizen.
It's a reference to Pepe the Frog.
I'm probably standing between 3 and 5000 miles away, you're safe for now. Please, btw, could you get Trump to sort out a job for Nigel Farage pronto? Doesn't Elbonia need an ambassador?
Of course not, all the way through the election he said whatever he thought the people in front of him at that point wanted to hear. (I still maintain he could have run as a Democratic candidate just as easily "We're going to have the best equality, the BEST! And healthcare? Let me tell you about healthcare, I want to tell you, the people of this country deserve the best, THE BEST healthcare, and that's what we're going to give them, and we're going to make cancer pay for it!")
He's not some kind of fascist super villain, he's just good at saying whatever comes into his head and making it sound sincere.
It's funny absolutely terrifying because it's true!
Because the alternative is too terrifying to contemplate. It also helps that Trump is backing off from some of the things he threatened because he's beginning to realize, now that he's forced to think about them, that many of the things he promised would either be an enormous amount of work or actually impossible, or could bite him on the ass (or all three, in the case of the libel law threat).
He's working on it.
(May has already shot this down, of course.)
[quote="Enkita, post:2, topic:89971"]
The idea that Trump would suddenly change direction once elected seems to be happening.
[/quote]In what way?
He's still trying to do anything else on the stupid contract he wrote on his website. What is it he actually reversed a stance on that is something he can control the outcome of?
No, more of a fascist super idiot. He likes to be the dominant winner; that makes him feel good. He likes to bully others. He's totally narcissistic. He has a serious paranoid, vindictive streak. Does he have real ideological commitments? Not so much. This is actually kind of a problem--you never really know what he's going to say from one day to the next. Except that it will probably be stupid, uninformed, noncommittal. He does seem to have some real racist and misogynist tendencies. He clearly isn't bugged by the racist, stupid stuff people around him are saying and doing.
Donald Trump wanted to be president in the worst possible way.
And he'll like get his desire.
Hey. I think we could all use this right now, before rejoining the battle:
Possibly also a callout to David Blaine's recent trick.

Official report on papal election
Source: VIS
Vatican Information Service issued the following statement this evening:
Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was elected as Supreme Pontiff, the 264th successor of Peter, and has chosen the name Benedict XVI. The cardinal proto-deacon made the solemn announcement to the people at 6.43pm. from the external loggia of the Hall of Blessings of the Vatican Basilica following the white smoke which occurred at 5.50pm
Following are the words of Cardinal Jorge Arturo Medina Estevez:
Annuntio vobis gaudium magnum; habemus Papam; Eminentissium ac Reverendissium Dominum, Dominum Josephum Sanctae Romanae Ecclesiae Cardinalem Ratzinger Qui sibi nomen imposuit Benedictum XVI
(I announce to you with great joy; We have a Pope; The most eminent and most reverend Lord Lord Joseph Cardinal of Holy Roman Church Ratzinger Who has taken the name Benedict XVI)
The conclave that led to the election of Benedict XVI began on Monday, April 18, 2005 in the Sistine Chapel of the Vatican Apostolic Palace, with the "extra omnes" pronounced at 5:25 p.m. by Archbishop Piero Marini, master of the Liturgical Celebrations of the Supreme Pontiff, following the taking of the oath by the 115 cardinal electors. The first black smoke took place at 8:04 p.m. the same day. On Tuesday, April 19, there was black smoke at 11:52 a.m.. On Tuesday, April 19, there was white smoke at 5:50 p.m.
At 6.48pm, the Holy Father Benedict XVI, preceded by the Cross, appeared on the external loggia to greet the people and to impart the Apostolic Blessing "Urbi et Orbi" (to the city and to the world). Prior to the blessing, the new Pontiff addressed the faithful with the following words:
"Dear Brothers and Sisters,
"After the great Pope John Paul II, the Lord Cardinals have elected me, a simple and humble worker in the vineyard of the Lord. I am consoled by the fact that the Lord knows how to act, even with inadequate instruments and above all I entrust myself to your prayers. In the joy of the Risen Lord, trusting in His permanent help, as we go forward the Lord will help us, and His Mother, Mary Most Holy, is on our side Thank you."

However, the Basque Nationalist Party head and regional Socialist Party leader are not likely to be convicted as prosecutors have called for charges to be dropped.BILBAO – The head of the Basque government and his chief opponent went on trial on Thursday over past contacts with the political wing of the armed separatist group ETA, just weeks before they are to face off in regional elections.
Juan Jose Ibarretxe, head of the governing Basque Nationalist Party (PNV), and Patxi Lopez, regional leader of Spain's ruling Socialist Party, face possible prison terms and bans on political activity if found guilty.
But they are not expected to be convicted as prosecutors have called for the charges to be dropped.
In ordering the trial in October 2007, Judge Roberto Saiz of the Basque superior court said he saw no reason to follow the prosecutors' recommendations.
Ibarretxe and Lopez, along with another senior member of the Basque branch of the Socialist Party, Rodolfo Ares, are accused of repeatedly meeting leaders of Batasuna, ETA's political wing, as the government of Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero was conducting tentative negotiations with the separatist group in 2006.
Batasuna has been outlawed since 2003 for refusing to condemn violence and cut its links to ETA, which has killed 825 people in a 40-year-old campaign for an independent Basque homeland.
Five senior members of Batasuna, including veteran Arnaldo Otegi, are also on trial for disobeying the court order to disband.
All three politicians have admitted contacts with Batasuna, but as part of moves to push forward the peace process.
At a preliminary hearing last year, Ibarretxe said he had promised Basque citizens he would "talk to everyone" to find a solution to the Basque problem.
Ibarretxe last week announced regional elections for 1 March, in which he is hoping to secure a fourth successive mandate.
But opinion polls indicate his PNV, which has governed the region since 1980, is at risk of defeat to the Socialists, led by Lopez.
Among witnesses expected to make statements at the trial are Zapatero, who could be asked to respond to questions from the court in writing, and his two predecessors, Jose Maria Aznar and Felipe Gonzalez.
Zapatero tried unsuccessfully to resolve the Basque problem in 2006. But he has taken a hard line against the separatists since ETA called off a 15-month-old ceasefire in June, 2007, and has repeatedly ruled out any new negotiations.
The trial, which is expected to last three weeks, is the result of complaints filed by two associations opposed to talks with ETA, the Forum Ermua and Dignity and Justice.
All eight defendants - the three politicians and five Batasuna members - were in court as the trial opened with procedural matters.

We were pretty upset a while back when Paulina had to take down her Twitter; we like to keep up with her life. Well she's back and better than ever, so we've collected some of our favorite recent Instagram pics to help us educate you on the real meanings to some hockey terminology. We hope this clears up any confusion.
Hockey Terminology 101, Revised:
1. Butt-ending
The act of jabbing an opponent with the knob of their stick. A major plus game misconduct penalty. We hate to see her go, but we love to watch her leave.
2. Two-on-one:
When a team enters the attacking zone and outnumbers the opposing players in the zone. If only.
3. Dive:
When a player embellishes contact made against him in order to entice the referee into calling a penalty against the opposition; however sometimes this ends up in a "unsportsmanlike conduct" penalty being called against the embellishing player. We wish she would.
4. Hip check:
Using the hip to knock an opponent against the boards or to the ice. YUP, they're definitely there.
5. Poke checking:
Using the stick to poke the puck away from an opponent. You get us. It checks out.
6. Powerplay:
A powerplay occurs when one team has more players on the ice than the other team as a result of penalties assessed to the shorthanded team. Teaming up with one of her friends to double the sexiness of an Instagram picture.

Navigant's Colette Lamontagne featured in Solar Industry Magazine
Intermittency issues have long plagued the widespread adoption of solar photovoltaic systems. Recent technological gains, including those made in energy storage, and the relative decrease in the cost of solar systems have helped increase solar deployment.
However, there are some barriers that still exist, including these three key challenges:
1. Cost
2. Competing incentives
3. Operational issues

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: EPA Finalizing Kewaunee Water Plan
The Environmental Protection Agency says it is finalizing a plan to supply water to a group of residents with contaminated wells in Kewaunee County, where manure spreading by large dairy farms has been a growing source of controversy.
Officials from federal, state and county agencies met in Luxemburg with local residents Wednesday to discuss water contamination, farming practices and related issues in the wake of a task force report this summer that called for more controls over manure handling in cattle-intensive northeastern Wisconsin.read more
"Gathering for Water" Fundraiser
JACKSON, WI – On August 13, Stonehouse Water Technologies, together with CannedWater4Kids, sponsored the "Gathering for Water" fundraiser for the non-profit group Give Me Water Lord, located out of Sparta, IL. The purpose of this event was to raise funds for a clean water project taking place at the Point of Grace Academy in Kisumu, Kenya/Africa, which will allow water piped from Lake Victoria to be run through a high-tech filtration system resulting in clean, healthy drinking water conveniently dispensed from kiosks located in the academy.read more
Project Milwaukee: Where Do We Stand In Water Tech Innovation?
Historically, water was key to Milwaukee's booming innovative and industrial successes. Now there's a concerted push to position Milwaukee as a water technology hub.
Hensley Foster is part of the action. His career as an industrial engineer stretched across four decades, but he says when it ended, his creative juices were far from tapped out.
So in 2012, Foster created Stonehouse Water Technologies, and UW-Milwaukee carved out lab space within its School of Freshwater Sciences for his research.
It has since morphed into a mini water utility. "When we started out, we were looking at capturing water using cisterns and things like that and we knew once we captured it we would have to filter it….but we had this revelation that what we really needed to do was concentrate on a core module to purify," Foster says.read more

Water POD delivers hope for clean drinking water
A sign on the white igloo perched next to the brown, murky water of the Menomonee Canal south of downtown says: "Making the Unthinkable Drinkable." A small hose carries the canal's heavily polluted water inside the 8-foot-diameter dome.
A button on the outside can be pushed to dispense clear water that is clean enough to drink, said Anne Wick. She invites curious visitors — most recently Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett; Cheryl Bailey, dean of the School of Natural and Health Sciences at Mount Mary University; and Dean Amhaus, president and CEO of The Water Council — to taste the finished and fully tested product.read more

Original paper
Responses of a prairie wetland to press and pulse additions of inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus: production by planktonic and benthic algae
McDougal, Rhonda L.; Goldsborough, L. Gordon; Hann, Brenda J .
Archiv für Hydrobiologie Volume 140 Number 2 (1997), p. 145 - 167
31 references
published: Sep 25, 1997
DOI: 10.1127/archiv-hydrobiol/140/1997/145
ArtNo. ESP141014002001, Price: 29.00 €
Enclosures deployed in Delta Marsh, Canada, were treated with inorganic N and P either as two discrete additions (pulse) or as 29 smaller additions (press) comprising the same cumulative nutrient load over a three-month period. No effects on photosynthesis by phytoplankton, epiphyton or epipelon were detected. Similarly, phytoplankton and epipelon biomass was unaffected by any treatment. However, epiphyton and metaphyton biomass increased significantly. Absent from controls except after macrophyte senescence, metaphyton represented >80 % of total algal biomass and total algal P in treated enclosures. No differences in metaphyton biomass between press and pulse treatments were observed although its composition varied; diffuse masses of Cladophora developed in pulse enclosures whereas floating carpets of Enteromorpha occurred in press enclosures. The latter decreased water column irradiance markedly, leading to premature macrophyte senescence. Sediment and metaphyton were probably the primary sinks for added nutrients. These results illustrate that nutrient enrichment can shift a stable epiphyton-dominant system (open wetland) to metaphyton dominance (sheltered wetland) if macrophytes remain sufficiently abundant to provide substratum for metaphytic algae. Development of the phytoplankton-dominant lake wetland state presumably occurs only when there are few other algal and macrophytic competitors for nutrients.

Powerful headlines matter as much as your article content and even more! As copyblogger says "eight out of 10 people will read your headline copy, but only two out of 10 will read the rest." As the first catching sentence of your article, be sure to choose the right words and structure if you want your audience to read your post.
Web writing is meant to be read and shared. And compelling headlines respecting some basic rules have a higher chance to be shared and to increase your social signal value.
This value refers to any link from a user's social media account to your blog or a share, like or comment. As a matter of fact, Google seems to reward content with a high social signal.
As we already said in our SEO trends article – content is one of the main keys to rule in SEO.
Thus, you need to think in terms of search engine features and people queries. Because you are first talking to real people but also to the ranking criterias.
In this article, you will find several tricks to get catchy and appealing headlines.
1. Use numbers
Numbers have the advantage to organize your article. The visitor knows he will get an easy read point by point. It has the benefit to create a list, and list are very popular.
At the same time, prefer digit numbers instead of writing them, it will be easier to read. Also, avoid to present more than 9 points in your article, researches have shown that a reader get trouble digest more than 9 ideas at a time.
Finally, if you are choosing the list option, be original in your naming like:
- Reasons
- Principles
- Facts
- Tips
- Advices
- Lessons
- Ideas
- Ways
- Secrets
- Tricks
Example : 5 tools you should use to master Twitter.
2. Use formulas that have proven their efficiency
Some formulas have proven their efficiency over the time and offers a better ROI. Here are some of the best ones. Be careful to not always use the same schema, you could annoyed your readers and totally missed your effect.
- The secret to …
This one works a lot since it gives to the reader the feeling that he is going to get the privileged to learn something important.
Example: The secret to getting more followers.
- How to [specific task] that [rewarding benefit]
The "How to" recipe offers a guidelines step by step and is a useful tool to learn something new more easily. Adding the benefice at the end enhance your headline perception.
Example: How to write an article that appeal readers.
- How to [desired result] without [painful objection]
This one works as the previous one but highlights the contradiction between getting the result you desire even if there is an obstacle in front of you.
Example: How to perform on SEO without any technical knowledge?
- [Do something] like [world-class example] example:
Comparing something to someone well-known good results will bring credibility to your article. You suggest to the reader that he can be as good as this successful person.
Example: Get social engagement like Matt Cutts.
- What you need to know about
This headline is really engaging since it pushes the reader to click on the headline to find out what he has missed about a specific subject.
Example: What you need to know about the "mobile-friendly" Google update.
3. Use keywords to please your SEO
Keywords are essential to optimize your search engine performances. Include them in the headline as well as in your body content. For a more efficient search, your keywords should be at the beginning of your headline.
4. Think of Twitter
Your content is meant to be shared. So you need to optimize your title lengh to fit the Twitter 140 characters. But it will be better if you write only 69 characters. First it is easier for your post retweet because it lets enough space for a link, a mention, a picture or hashtags and shorter headlines are more shared!
Then, search engine display 69 characters before cutting it in the search results, so keep that in mind!
5. Use appealing adjectives
Using compelling adjectives will bring you more engagement. Prefer positive or powerful ones since it will catch your audience attention in a good way and increase your click-through rate.
Here are some of the best adjectives to use:
- Surprising
- Awesome
- Effortless
- Free
- Proven
- Powerful
- Smart
- Essential
- Appealing
- Critical
- Huge/big
- Searing
- …
To sum up, you really need to concentrate your effort on your headline.
You should write it at the end after you have finished your post or go back to it. You may find that your first headline doesn't fit anymore to the angle you have given to your article first. So don't be afraid to tweak it, you will have the necessary hindsight to make the right changes.

Database Exam Question help- Functional Dependencies
Can anyone please help me with this question. I have a huge exam on Monday and I really to learn this. Thanks!
Consider a relation R(ABCDEGH) that satisfies the set of fuctional dependencies
F={B--> DE , A--> CG, CD--> H, H--> A}, and the following decomposition of R into R1(H,G,C), R2(B, A, E) and R3 ( A,C, D, G)
1. Write the projections in R1, R2 and R3 of the dependencies in (the closure of) F. Is the dependency H--> C in the projection in R1 of the dependencies in F?
2. Answer if the decomposition of R into R1, R2 and R3 is dependency preserving (describe the condition that must be satisfied and clearly show whether it is satisfied or not).
3. Write the definition of 3NF and answer whether R1, R2 and R3 are in BCNF (clearly explaning your answer).
4. Write the definition of BCNF and answer whether R1, R2 and R3 are in BCNF (clearly explaning your answer).
5. Select one of the decomposed relations (R1, R2, or R3) that is not in BCNF and apply the BCNF decomposition algorithm until all the resulting relations are in BCNF (clearly explaning each step of the algorithm)
Thanks ALOTTTT

Crews spent Oct. 15-17, 2011, installing 24 huge girders above State Route 520 in Medina, Wash., as part of a new overpass that will have a park and ride, transit access, landscaping and paths. Shorter 48-ton girders now span the eastbound lanes and longer, 106-ton girders span the westbound lanes. Girders were trucked north on Interstate 405 from Tacoma and crews installed an average of one girder per hour.
The Washington State Department of Transportation awarded the $306 million project to design-build contractor Eastside Corridor Constructors. The project widens SR 520 from four to six lanes from Medina to Bellevue and includes rebuilding interchanges, installing fish-friendly culverts, and building highway lids and transit stops in the center of the highway.

Sat., June 15, 2013, 5:51 a.m.
See, the play's the thing
Beware the ides of June. Read on.
• There was no special reason for today's lead-in, other than it is June 15 and I hated Shakespeare as a kid. But it is amazing how much of it has stuck in my noggin for some reason. The opening soliloquy from Richard III for example. The whole idea of a glorious summer. Perfect. Or the tomorrow speech from Macbeth. Burned into my memory in the 11th grade. The line "told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing" has guided my writing for years. So what should this idiot spout about full of sound and fury today? We could always go with the Mariners. After all, this is the (umpteenth) summer of our discontent. And the M's are always searching for a horse. Their latest search has brought them, in a roundabout way, to Henry Blanco (making the tag in the photo), a well-traveled 41-year-old catcher. He was hired yesterday after the M's fired Kelly Shoppach, who was, despite a .196 average, actually hitting better than Blanco this season. But it's not Blanco's bat or catching skills the M's really want. It's his mind. And experience. Blanco has a history of mentoring young catchers – when you are 41 and still in the big leagues, you've had lots of chances to mentor younger players – and the Mariners have one they want mentored. They believe Mike Zunino is going to be their horse behind the plate for years to come, so they want him trained in the best possible manner. Hence, when the Blue Jays released Blanco a few days ago, Shoppach's days in Seattle were numbered. You know, if you crunch Blanco's numbers, there is no way you make this change. But the move has nothing to do with numbers, as do a lot of moves in major league baseball. It has to do with a 25-man clubhouse, the overall health of the organization and balancing the often-competing desires of winning today and building a foundation for tomorrow. And it's not about money, either. By designating Shoppach for assignment, the M's are burning about $1 million they'll have to pay him the rest of the year. If Blanco helps turn Zunino into an all-star down the road, it will have been money well spent. Or, maybe, it just signifies nothing.
• WSU: It's Saturday, so the Washington State section will never be empty. There is always the mailbag from ESPN's Pac-12 blog. ... Plus today there are some thoughts from Jon Wilner on a couple of Pac-12 basketball coaches (OK, really only one). ... And Oregon State will open the college World Series today with a freshman on the mound.
• Gonzaga: Kelly Olynyk continues his travels around the NBA today with a stop in Utah to show his wares to the Jazz.
• Idaho: The WAC officially has a new commissioner.
• Whitworth: The Pirates officially need a new athletic director after Aaron Leetch ended his stay in Spokane after only two years. Jim Allen has the story of Leetch deciding to return to Illinois State.
• Shock: Tonight's matchup in Arizona with the first-place Rattlers is officially a big game.
• Indians: Spokane opened Northwest League play last night and fell behind by five runs before a lot of folks were in their seats. But they battled back before ultimately falling to Everett, 6-4. Chris Derrick has the story and more in this blog post. ... There was a lot of history at the ballpark last night and no one – no one – can tell it better than John Blanchette. ... Tyler Tjomsland also has a photo gallery. ... Because it is opening day around the Northwest League, we decided to run down stories from every game. Vancouver opened with a win over Tri-Cities, the Hillsboro Hops' debut was marred with a tough loss and Eugene was shut out by Boise.
• Mariners: Blanco's signing really paid off last night. No, he wasn't in the lineup, but Zunino was and came through with his first big league home run. And I don't believe Blanco had anything to do with it. ... The biggest news from last night's 3-2 win over Oakland was the pitching of Joe Saunders, who won for the first time this year away from Safeco. And the closer. No, it was not Tom Wilhelmsen. It was Oliver Perez (pictured), who has been pitching in the big leagues since before I was born (just kidding, not that long, but a really long time). In a 12-year career, it was Perez's first save. By the way, Wilhelmsen has been given a break from his closing duties, though manager Eric Wedge does expect him to have them back soon. ... Should the M's dangle Hisashi Iwakuma as trade bait? After all, he might bring the biggest return. Larry Stone says no and has seven persuasive reasons.
• Seahawks: Tarvaris Jackson is now on the roster. ... Don't be expecting to bring in a bag full of stuff to a Hawks game next season.
• I know there is only a Mother's Day, but shouldn't this be Father's Weekend. After all, we are more ... oh, heck, forget it. I don't want to write something I may regret later, like the rest of my life. If Kim doesn't read this, I am going to make it my own personal Father's Weekend. If she does, it will be a typical Saturday. Wish me luck. Until later ...

Ron Szymanski, President
Ron has had a cabin in the Ebbetts Pass area since 1990 and retired to Hathaway Pines in 2001. An active Adult Scouter in the Boy Scouts, Ron has been encouraged by EPFW's activities since its inception. He is committed to bringing EPFW goals to fruition, ensuring that a viable ecosystem is maintained for all to share and enjoy now and in the future. He is not against logging, only irresponsibility in logging on private and public lands. He believes big business, including the timber industry, is not capable of, nor willing to police its activities beyond the effect on its bottom line. Therefore, it is our responsibility as citizens to point out other approaches that must be considered.
Susan Robinson, Vice President
Susan joined EPFW several years ago after becoming aware of SPI's clearcutting plans at the Arnold Crafts Faire. She and her husband are now retired near Arnold and previously had a cabin in Big Trees Village. She recently retired from a major Bay Area corporation where she held positions in environmental and safety management and strategic and business planning. Susan's father had a Masters in Forestry from Penn State and was a district forester and regional park manager in Pennsylvania. She grew up with his views on respectful forestry (including logging) and love of all plants and animals in the forest ecosystem. Her deep love of the Sierra Nevada and its diverse forests drive her to action to protect them from being clearcut on an industrial scale and opposition to our government's perspective that forests are only sources of timber.
John Trinkl, Director
John came to EPFW from a lifetime of activism in various social causes and has been focusing much of his energy recently on preserving the quality of life of Calaveras County. He and his family own a cabin in Big Trees Village north of Arnold. He enjoys hiking in the area and shopping at the ACE hardware store in Arnold. Besides being president of EPFW, John has worked in a garbage bag factory, been a reporter, writer, editor, marketing specialist, web developer, worked in the travel industry, the book publishing business, and high tech ventures. He hopes to travel to North Dakota someday, the only state he hasn't visited.
Bunny Firebaugh, Treasurer
Bunny, has been a member of EPFW since its inception in May 2000. She served on the steering committee for about nine months before being elected to the Board in June 2001. Bunny has been a mainstay of the organization, helping with Town Hall meetings and special events, including fairs and Earth Day, among many others. In addition to her EPFW work, Bunny is a board member and docent at Calaveras Big Trees State Park. She also is a Volunteer In Protection inspector. She has lived in Blue Lake Springs full time since she retired in the fall of 1994 and has loved every minute except for what is happening to the forest in the Sierras. She looks forward to continuing her work with all the other devoted EPFW members to preserve a healthy forest for future generations.
Bob Dean, Director
Bob is a long-time involved resident of Calaveras County . He is President of the Board of Directors of the Calaveras County Water District. Bob is board member of the Mother Lode Land Trust, working to increase landpreservation in Calaveras County . He has worked to preserve the foothill oak woodlands. Bob
was one of the main organizers of the "Calaveras Water and Land Use" forum in Murphys this past November.
Addie Jacobson, Director
Addie Jacobson has been an active member of Ebbetts Pass Forest Watch since 2000. She has concentrated her support in the areas of policy, strategy and advocacy. Addie looks forward to when California's private forestlands are all managed responsibly.
Penny Sarvis, Secretary
Penny has been a member of EPFW since 2000. She has served on the board and as secretary in the past. She would like to participate on the board again because of her unbroken commitment to the forests of the Sierra and because she feels EPFW, in conjunction with new allies around California, is in a better position than ever before to save at least some of SPI"s lands from the ravages of clearutting and plantations.
Perry Metzger, Director
Perry and his family have owned a cabin in Dorrington, CA for the past 25 years. Recently he has become involved in a number of forest issues and joined the EPFW Board. Other volunteer activities include: Current Executive Board and Treasurer, Mother Lode Chapter, Sacramento Group, Community Outreach Chair, Sierra Club, Sacramento Group Member, member of the California Sierra Club, Stop Clearcutting Outreach Committee, Member, California Audubon Society, Founding member and current treasurer, Green Democratic Club of Sacramento
Perry is also an Executive board member and treasurer, Fruitridge Vista Owners Association. He graduated from Cal Poly, SLO and had graduate studies at California State University Sacramento. He retired from the Federal government in 2003 as a Project Manager/Civil Engineer after 31-years of service.
Agata Sulczynski, JD
Agata received her Juris Doctor degree from University of San Francisco as a public interest law scholar. She served on the EPFW Board of Directors from 2005 to 2007 and was the Vice President of EPFW during this time. She was the Director of the Wild and Scenic Film Festival on Tour hosted by EPFW in Calaveras County. She is currently a Senior Project Manager at an environmental consulting firm, providing regulatory compliance support to a diverse base of clients. She also provides legal and strategic planning assistance to non-profit organizations working to protect California's natural resources. As a resident of Dorrington and an avid recreationist, she is interested in working for sustainable management of our public and private lands. Ms. Sulczynski offers her experience and interest in protecting our public trust resources. She continues to support EPFW in the area of legislative reform and as the Director of the Wild and Scenic Film Festival.

A still better way to improve convention coverage would be to withdraw all reporters and force the curious to rely on a C-SPAN feed: Unless a brokered convention threatens to break out, these political gatherings tend to produce very little real news. Yet the networks, the newspapers, the magazines, and the Web sites continue to insist on sending battalions of reporters to sift for itsy specks of information.And it's true. The issues that come out of conventions tend to be meta issues - dissection of the tone of speeches, that sort of thing. And, as much fun as that stuff can be to the committed junkies, it's just plain not news.

Jack Shafer: Don't Cover the Conventions
The best thing about Slate, Jack Shafer, writes

Also the fact that they're just going to give the same speeches that they've been giving for the past 2 years. There was one piece of news this weekend (Obama picking Biden), there will be one piece of news when McCain picks someone, and after that there will not be any more actual news - from the conventions or otherwise - until the actual election comes and finally brings this interminable sideshow to a close.

It's all roiling in minutiae of speeches and polls right now. I want to be disinterested, but so far I've watched all the primetime speeches like an addict. It's ridiculous.

Former BBC Radio employee Michael Souter has today (November 30) appeared in court accused of sexual offences against children over a 20-year period.
The 59-year-old from Loddon, Norfolk was arrested earlier in the month by Norfolk police and charged with 18 offences relating to six boys, including under-14s.
The crimes, alleged to have taken place between 1979 and 1999 in Norfolk, include indecent assault among other serious sexual offences. He has also been charged with with an offence against a man and a woman.
Souter, who formerly worked as a presenter for BBC Radio Norfolk, appeared at Norwich Magistrates Court today and was granted conditional bail by magistrates.
He was ordered to appear before Norwich Crown Court on December 14.
Under the conditions of his bail, Souter must not have any contact with under-16s without an adult being present. He must also not contact any witnesses involved in his case and has to surrender his passport.
Speaking to BBC News outside the court, Souter said that it was doubtful his case would have received so much media attention if it weren't for the BBC connection.
> Lord Tony Hall appointed new BBC director general
"I am well aware this case is a stressful experience for almost everybody concerned, not just me," he said.
"Irrespective of innocence or guilt, people have judged me before one word has been given in evidence in a court of law.
"Many people wonder how much coverage would have been given, both in the UK and around the world, if the letters 'BBC' had not formed part of my CV.
"The support of my friends and family, during what has been an extremely difficult period, has been overwhelming and humbling and I cannot thank them enough for their support."

This is what it's like (Part 2)
What am I saying then? I don't think I could consider adopting a white infant privately from an agency. In the past we have stated that we were open to any race. But I really think that the demand for white babies (and therefore the large amounts of money attached to them) is the part of private agency adoption that is most wrong and most damaging. It creates a culture that values some babies and devalues others, that it makes it OK to do or say certain things to e-moms (especially white e-moms) because there are so many parents who want to adopt white babies. If we don't participate in that segment of the industry that drives the most illicit practices, maybe that's OK... or at least more OK. Making the change official probably has no consequences in actuality - I can't imagine any agency placing a white baby with us when that's the only kind of baby some a-parents will accept.
I also think there may only be a handful of agencies we could work with. I know I'm painting agencies with a wide brush, but there are some good ones out there. There are a few characteristics we'll look for. Definitely not-for-profit. Definitely not ones who spend a lot of money in national advertising. Definitely not ones who charge different fees for different races. Maybe ones that only focus on African American or biracial adoption. The small social service oriented Luterhan agency we're working with in Cleveland is good, I think, but they focus more on international adoption, so the odds of us adopting domestically through them are probably pretty low. I've also read good things about two other agencies and we're checking into them now.
But, really, when you get right down to it, I'm beginning to think the best solution (for us) is to adopt from foster care. I hate to admit that, I really do. I love being a foster parent but I hate what that means - social workers and no real rights to the kids we love so much, and now, unannounced quarterly home visits.
The thing I've realized about adopting from foster care though, is I at least know moms aren't pressured to relinquish. On the contrary, those moms are probably 100 times more supported than most first moms who are working with private agencies. It seems like biological parents get more support (financial and otherwise), more intervention and more assistance in parenting from social services than they ever would from the typical private agency who is helping them decide whether to parent or not. Of course, bioparents in the system don't choose to be there. But I do think most children who end up in care end up there for a very good reason. And I do think that most bioparents get plenty of chances to get their kids back, and (at least in my county) plenty of support to help them do that.
As I've heard a lot of people say, in a perfect world, adoption would not exist. Given that it does, and it looks like that's how PB and I will build our family, the best option for us seems to be foster-to-adopt. But when I really get to the end of my rope with the red tape and the waiting and the uncertainty and the trauma of losing babies, maybe working with an ethical agency who specializes in placing African American children is our next option.

Adoption Link is supposed to be a very good, very ethical agency specializing in african american adoption (it's the one Shannon at Peter's Cross Station used). That said, if you're hoping for an adoption with visits, it might be best to think about adopting within the state.
Our agency (Ohio) has the different fees, which sucks. They did try to go to a sliding scale based on family income but for some reason they stopped that -- our old social worker said it fell apart but didn't say why. I was pretty happy with them although I think there are things they could improve. (Adoption by Gentle Care, by the way, if you want to give them a call -- all caveats in place, of course. And if you hear anything hinky about them let me know because I'd want to be aware of it.)

I agree. I don't think I will build my family any other way besides foster/adopt or african adoption.

Afghanistan: Talks with the Taliban must focus on justice and human rights

|Amnesty International, Afghanistan: Talks with the Taliban must focus on justice and human rights, 19 June 2013, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/51c83a2f4.html [accessed 25 November 2017]
|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
Human rights, including women's rights, must be integral to any peace deal with the Taliban said Amnesty International today as the USA announced that it was to start direct peace talks with Afghanistan's Taliban armed group.
The call comes as Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai announced that his country would boycott the peace talks unless they were "Afghan-led", and on the heels of NATO handing over responsibility for security in the country to Afghan forces.
The first meeting is due to take place imminently in Doha, Qatar, where the Taliban have recently set up an office.
"Any agreement with the Taliban must include clear red-line commitments that they will guarantee the rights of all Afghan women, men and children," said Polly Truscott, deputy Asia-Pacific Programme Director at Amnesty International.
"The peace process must not allow members of the Taliban or anyone else to be granted immunity from prosecution for serious human rights abuses and war crimes."
The peace talks must uphold the rule of law, and not deny justice to victims of human rights abuses and war crimes - whether perpetrated by the pro-government forces or insurgent groups. Human rights and justice should not be sacrificed for the sake of military and political expediency, Amnesty International said.
The organization also called on the Afghan government to repeal the 2007 National Stability and Reconciliation Bill. Under this legislation, people who committed serious human rights abuses during the past 30 years - including massacres, enforced disappearances, torture, rape, and public executions - would be immune from criminal prosecution. Taliban fighters who agree to cooperate with the Afghan government would also be immune from prosecution.
Afghan civil society groups - in particular women's groups - have demanded that the Afghan people's human rights and well-being not be compromised in any reconciliation talks with the Taliban. But their voices have largely been marginalized.
Only nine women have been appointed to the 70-member High Peace Council, the Afghan government's body charged with leading proposed peace and reconciliation talks with the Taliban and other armed groups. And even these women are sidelined from key peace negotiations the council is undertaking.
"The inclusion of women in the peace talks must be genuine and meaningful, with their priority concerns fully reflected, in line with UN Security Council Resolutions on Women, Peace and Security," said Truscott.
The Taliban have had a terrible record of human rights abuses both while they were in government and as insurgents. Today in areas under their control, as when they ruled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001, the Taliban have severely curtailed the rights of girls and women, including the rights to education, work, freedom of movement, political participation and representation.
As insurgents, Taliban fighters have targeted and killed civilians whom they consider to be "spies" or "collaborators" of the Afghan government and the international forces, and have carried out abductions, often killing their captives.
The Taliban have also made little effort to distinguish between civilian and military targets and have launched hundreds of indiscriminate attacks, including suicide bombings and roadside bomb attacks, in which hundreds of civilians, including children, have been killed or injured.
Civilian casualties have increased by 24 per cent in the first five months of 2013, with 3,092 civilians killed or wounded, according to the UN.
Insurgent groups were responsible for 74 per cent of casualties in the reporting period, with their use of improvised explosive devices particularly to blame.

Revelstoke, Canada (PressExposure) January 04, 2010 -- Mica Heliskiing has partnered with Snowpulse SA, the developers of backpacks with an integrated avalanche airbag. These products significantly increase the chance of survival in an avalanche. âAt Mica Heliskiing,a safe and enjoyable experience is our No. 1 priority. Our professionally trained and certified guides make every effort to reduce the risks associated with backcountry skiing. The new Snowpulse airbag backpacks are state of the art avalanche safety equipment and have added another level of safety at Mica Heliskiing,â says Shane Kroeger, Mica Heliskiingâs Guiding Manager.
Avalanche Airbag Packs: Snowpulse airbags are designed to provide the best personal protection, while remaining light, compact and user friendly. Their key advantages are:
⢠The âHead on Topâ technology, keeps your head out of the snow ⢠Shock and trauma protection ⢠Time saving during rescue because the airbag is easy to locate on the surface ⢠Light and most compact airbag system ⢠Simple and ergonomic release system. A system easy and cheap to re-use ⢠Possibility to refill the cartridges (see conditions)
Mica Helskiing Safety Program: Mica Heliskiing minimizes the risks associated with backcountry skiing in several different ways. On the first morning after arrival, each guest is required to take part in a formal Helicopter Safety Briefing and a Backcountry Safety School. These sessions include the use of standard avalanche safety equipment, including Snowpulse packs and avalanche transceivers. All groups are lead by professionally trained and certified guides. Each of our guides meets or exceeds the requirements of 'a guide' as set by Helicat Canada guidelines and have been trained and certified by the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides and/or are members of the International Federation of Mountain Guides.
