The paleolithic diet. You've heard of it? Great. It's a way of eating, a lifestyle, that's said to help us lose weight, prevent disease and generally make you feel clean and full of energy. The basic principle is to eat as the cavemen(women) did. Survive off of hunting and gathering, eating only lean protein, fruits, vegetables and healthy fats. We've tried it, and if done right, you will feel full and satisfied, lose weight and kick that bloated feeling.
Being a successful caveperson these days is all about planning and preperation. Cook in large batches and freeze portions. It's best to dedicate a few hours during the weekend to cut up all of your fruits and veggies for easy snack/stir fry/smoothie access. The hardest part of being a paleo is the inability to grab something on the go. However, if you're in a major jam, you can always buy a banana from your local Starbucks.
Let's be real, most of us are busy juggling work, family and a social life. The paleo books we've read touch on this. It's ok to have a glass of wine, a beer, in moderation. You have the power to choose how paleo you want to go. Greek yogurt, oatmeal, and whole wheat carbs like Ryvita crackers are some examples of paleo no-no's we think are worth bending the rules for. Incorporating just some of the paleo principles into your life can be easy, and you will still reap many benefits.
Here is a basic recipe for paleo pancakes that will give you a glimpse into paleo living.
Paleo Pancakes
(1 serving, multiply the ingredients as needed)
This is one of our favourite breakfasts. It tastes delicious, is almost too easy to make and will keep you satisfied. You can add whatever paleo-approved items you like to these pancakes, just like the real thing.
- 1 banana
- 1 egg (no egg whites on this diet, need those yolks)
- 1 tablespoon of nut butter of your choice (almond, hazelnut – the only nut on the pale-no list is peanut)
- 1 tsp of coconut oil (this is a staple in the paleo pantry)
- dash of cinnamon
- dash of vanilla
- squeeze of natural honey
- splash of soy/almond milk (fluffyness)
- cacao chips (natural alternative to chocholate chips, enjoyable, we promise)
- Mash banana in a bowl
- Mix in egg and nut butter
- Grease frying pan with coconut oil and pour mixture into pancakes
A meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch or dinner. This will be a go-to because it's easy. Again, you can use the basic recipe below, add protein powder or a variety of other spices, flavours.
1 banana
A handful of strawberries (fresh or frozen)
1 scoop/ tbsp of flax seed
1/2 cup of soy/almond/coconut milk
- Blend. 🙂
Sweet potato fries or chips
No recipe needed here. Since there is no wheat allowed, natural carbs such as sweet potatoes are beloved.
Spice them up however you want (rosemary, paprika, why not try some curry powder?). There is no added salt in the paleo diet, so other spices are super important. Cut or slice however you desire, toss with olive oil and bake in the oven at 375 degrees Celsius.
You can get as creative as you want with the paleo diet. If you have a favourite recipe or dish, chances are someone has created the paleo version . There are a number of comfort food inspired cookbooks and recipes out there worth checking out.
We recommend the below cookbooks for beginners – tried, tested and rock-it approved.
The Paleo Diet Cookbook: More than 150 recipes for Paleo Breakfasts, Lunches, Dinners, Snacks, and Beverages
The Everything Paleolithic Diet Book: An All-Natural, Easy-to-Follow Plan to Improve Health, Lose Weight, Increase Endurance, and Prevent Disease
You can also refer to the internet, for lists of paleo approved foods, meal plan ideas, recipes, shopping guides and more.
If you were thinking about going paleo, there is no better time to clean out your pantry and your tummy. New year, new plan – why not? The whole point of this diet is feeling good, being healthy and the satisfaction of treating your body like a temple.

i bought the entire surf collection and was sure this would be my least favorite color. I`m not a big fan of greens since they wash out my already pail skin. After swatching, I realized i loved it. it is now my all time favorite color!

Facebook Inc. reported first-quarter earnings on Wednesday. Net income and revenue grew, helped by an increase in mobile ad revenue. Here's a look at key developments in Facebook's stock.
Feb. 1, 2012: Facebook announces IPO plans in a regulatory filing.
April 9: Facebook announces plans to buy Instagram, a photo-sharing social network, for $1 billion in cash and stock.
April 23: Still privately held, Facebook says first-quarter net income fell 12 per cent to $205 million, weighed down by higher expenses even as its revenue rose 45 per cent to $1.06 billion. Facebook also says it plans list its stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol "FB."
May 3: Facebook sets a price range of $28 to $35 for its IPO. The company and its early investors plan to sell 337.4 million shares. At the high end, that would raise as much as $11.8 billion, although not all goes to the company. Facebook's offering values it at $76 billion to $95 billion.
May 7: Facebook begins a so-called road show. Executives travel to key cities to tell potential investors why they should invest in the stock. The first stop is New York.
May 8. Road show goes to Boston.
May 11: Facebook updates its policy to give users more clarity on how information they share is used by the company. The company also signals that it may start showing people ads on websites other than Facebook. Other companies already do this. How would that work? Users might see ads based on their Facebook "likes" pop up on other sites. Road show concludes in Palo Alto, Calif.
May 15: Facebook increases its price range for the IPO to $34 to $38 per share. At the high end, the sale would raise about $12.8 billion and value the company at $104 billion.
May 16: Responding to extraordinary demand, Facebook adds 84 million shares, worth up to $3.2 billion, to the IPO. That brings the total to 421 million shares, or $16 billion based on a price of $38 per share, offered by Facebook and its early investors.
May 17: Facebook prices its IPO at $38 per share, raising $16 billion. The company stands to reap as much as $18.4 billion if extra shares reserved to cover additional demand are sold too. That would be the second-largest U.S. IPO ever, lagging only Visa Inc. The offering values Facebook at about $104 billion.
May 18: Surrounded by cheering employees and wearing his signature hoodie, Zuckerberg rings the opening bell of the Nasdaq from Facebook headquarters in Silicon Valley. About two hours later, Facebook begins trading, opening at $42.05 per share after an anxiety-filled half-hour delay caused by technical problems at Nasdaq. Volume is huge: More than 500 million shares change hands. But the stock closes almost unchanged at $38.23.
May 21: Facebook's stock closes below its IPO price.
May 29: Facebook's stock falls below $30 for first time.
June 6: The Nasdaq stock exchange says it plans to hand out $40 million in cash and credit to reimburse investment firms that got ensnared by technical problems with trading Facebook stock. FINRA, the financial industry's self-regulatory group, will review claims for compensation.
June 12: Research firm comScore suggests that marketing on Facebook can help increase sales. ComScore urges marketers to look beyond acquiring as many fans as possible on Facebook and focus on their message and on social media marketing campaigns.
June 15: Facebook seeks to consolidate the more than 40 lawsuits it faces and suggests the Nasdaq Stock Market is partly to blame for its stock's price drop. Facebook also releases letters it had with federal regulators ahead of its IPO, something companies typically do after a confidentiality period ends. Facebook's stock closes with a gain for the week for the first time.
July 26: In its first earnings report as a public company, Facebook says revenue grew 32 per cent to $1.18 billion in the second quarter, slightly above analyst expectations. It had a net loss of 8 cents per share, mainly due to stock compensation expenses following its IPO. Adjusted earnings of 12 cents per share matched Wall Street's expectations. Investors weren't impressed, though, and its stock fell in trading.
Aug. 16: Ninety days after the stock began trading, some early investors and insiders are eligible to dump additional shares. Facebook's stock plunges to a new low.
Aug. 17: Facebook's stock falls further and hits $19 — half of its IPO price — just minutes before trading ended for the day.
Aug. 20: The stock price falls below $19, before bouncing back to close at $20.01. In a regulatory filing, it's disclosed that Peter Thiel, one of Facebook's earliest investors and a member of its board, was among the insiders selling stock after the lock-up period expired. He sold about 20 million shares through affiliates for $19.27 to $20.69 each.
Aug. 22: Federal government clears Instagram deal. Because of Facebook's falling stock price, the $1 billion cash-and-stock deal drops to about $750 million.
Sept. 4: Facebook says Zuckerberg won't sell stock in the company for at least the next 12 months. There had been concerns that additional shares could flood the market and depress stock prices further if Zuckerberg sold stock when he is eligible Nov. 14. The company also says employees will be able to sell their shares starting Oct. 29.
Sept. 6: Facebook says it has closed on its Instagram deal, now worth about $740 million — $300 million of it in cash and the rest in stock.
Sept. 11: Zuckerberg says the performance of Facebook's stock "has obviously been disappointing," and will probably cause some demoralized employees to defect. But he said he hopes most workers will stay and "double down" on Facebook's future.
Sept. 12: Facebook's stock lifts 7.7 per cent following Zuckerberg's remarks.
Sept. 24: Facebook's stock tumbles 9 per cent after an article in the financial magazine Barron's said it is "still too pricey" despite a sharp decline since its initial public offering.
Oct. 23: Facebook reports third-quarter results that inch past Wall Street's expectations, offering evidence that the company is making inroads in mobile advertising — a longtime concern among investors. Adjusted income was 12 cents per share, a penny better than what analysts were expecting. Revenue rose 32 per cent to $1.26 billion, slightly above the $1.23 billion that analysts polled by FactSet were expecting.
Dec. 31: Facebook's stock closes at $26.62 on the last day of the year.
Jan. 9, 2013: The stock passes $30 for the first time since July after Facebook sends out invitations for a mystery event that later turns out to be the unveiling of a new search feature.
Jan. 30: Facebook reports fourth-quarter earnings that exceed Wall Street's expectations. Its stock price fluctuates sharply in after-hours trading, as investors weigh lower net income and growing expenses against an increasing user base and higher advertising revenue. Amid worries about its ability to make money from mobile apps, the way more users are accessing Facebook, the company discloses that it generated 23 per cent of advertising revenue from mobile, up from 14 per cent in the third quarter.
April 26: Facebook says Zuckerberg reaped a gain of nearly $2.3 billion in 2012 when he exercised 60 million stock options just before the IPO. It left Zuckerberg with a massive tax bill. He raised the money to pay it by selling 30.2 million Facebook shares for $38 apiece, or $1.1 billion, in the IPO.
May 1: Facebook says net income and revenue grew in the first quarter, helped by an increase in mobile ad revenue, a figure that some investors have been watching closely. Facebook says mobile advertising revenue was 30 per cent of its total ad revenue, amounting to $375 million. That's up from 23 per cent, or $306 million, in the fourth quarter.

As you must have figured out by now, I love me some murals.
And yesterday, I got to see the progress on the Warrior Run school mural, which will begin being installed next month.
The cool thing about this mural is its construction, which is through digital and tile work – very cool stuff. And the artist, Warrior Run alum Jon Laidacker, is giving a behind-the-scenes look on his Facebook page.
One thing that fascinated me was the paint-by-numbers concept he's using to help students and community members get involved. Here's a look at what the tiles look like after he traces them from a digital file onto a tile and numbers them by color:
And the scale is amazing.
It's going to be huge. Here's a video look at the eagle, just one-fifth of the mural.
I'll of course be keeping you updated as this progresses – check back!

The Indian Ocean Tuna Tagging Symposium was held on 30th October to 2nd November 2012 in Mauritius in order to review the results obtained from the seven year Indian Ocean Tuna Tagging Programme (IOTTP). This programme was supervised in its entirety by the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC) from 2002 to 2009 and was comprised of an EU-funded large scale project implemented by the Commission de l'Océan Indien (COI), the Regional Tuna Tagging Project (RTTP-IO) and of a series of small-scale project in Maldives, India, Mayotte, Indonesia funded by the EU, the Government of Japan and the People's Republic of China.
The ultimate goal of the programme was to improve the ability of the IOTC Member states to manage the tuna fisheries in the Indian Ocean through a better knowledge of the status and population dynamics of the main stocks. The data collected were expected to make a significant contribution to the stock assessments.
As part of the different activities of the IOTTP, more than 200 000 tuna were tagged and released, of which 84% were released during the RTTP-IO. To date an excess of 31,500 tags (15.7%) have been recovered and returned to the IOTC Secretariat from these tagged fish.
The extensive dataset generated during this programme has continues to be used in various analysis in support of the Commission's work. The results of the analyses conducted by the IOTC scientific community have provided new insights on the biology, the population dynamic and status of the main tuna species. For example, tagging data provided new estimations of the growth of the three tropical tuna species. They have also provided insights into their spatial dynamics including examples of large-scale movements, from fish tagged in Tanzania waters and subsequently recovered in the Arabian Sea, Indonesia and the South Atlantic.
The Indian Ocean Tuna Tagging Symposium provided a valuable opportunity to encourage new in-depth analyses of the data, and their integration into the assessment of the stocks. It will also provide a forum to discuss the state-of-the-art in the design and implementation of tagging programmes, and the lessons learned from the IOTTP experience.
The Symposium was funded by the European Union, the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission and the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD).

Groth Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville 2008
Winemaker's Notes:
The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon is big and lush with huge gobs of fruit in the aroma and flavor. The texture of the wine is soft and supple, typical of Cabernet Sauvignons grown in our area of the Oakville AVA. Menu suggestion: "A slab and a Cab", Dennis Groth recommends you drink his Cabernet Sauvignon with steak.
Groth Vineyards is located in the Oakville Appellation in Napa Valley. Browse our site to learn more about our winery, and wines. You can schedule a tour & tasting, join our wine club, and buy wine directly through our Web site. We are looking forward to sharing our exceptional wines and hosting you at our estate winery.
Editorial Reviews for Groth Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville
Quite complex on the nose with plenty of savory oak-derived spice but one also finds insinuations of herbs, fudge, espresso, and truffle notes embedded in dark, plummy fruit. This is crisp and seamless on entry, though a paradox of freshness and very ripe fruit flavors. The oak is well integrated, not nearly as prevalent as on the nose forming a backdrop for the dried plummy fruit that does see some red cherry, red currant shadings emerge with air. The tannins are well measured, adding a touch of volume yet remaining mostly discreet right through finish, which does show plenty of oak toast-derived nuances as well as red berry fruit leading to a touch of heat and sweetness on the finale. 91pts
Member Reviews for Groth Cabernet Sauvignon OakvilleAdd your review
Very well balanced and restrained cab from Oakville. Really nice dark fruits, dried plum, a touch of leather, fine grained tannins and medium acidity. This has a nice long finish that paints the back of the tongue with dark crushed cherries.
Drinking window: Drink between 2012 and 2020 (based on 5 user opinions) Community Tasting Notes (average 90.4 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 78 notes) - Tasted by Pluecht on 10/7/2012 & rated 90 points: Medium body, dark blackberry, vanilla, new oak, smooth tannins, I believe it will continue to age gracefully for then next few years. (664 views) Tasted by edarrincox on 10/7/2012 & rated 92 points: Great Cab. Dark fruit, smooth tannins, nice finish. (688 views) Tasted by yofog on 9/13/2012 & rated 88 points: A bit baked on the nose, hot on the palate. I don't think it was mishandled, just not an impressive wine at that price. (1239 views) Tasted by JustOneMore on 9/7/2012 & rated 91 points: Drinks well now. Plenty of dark fruit and lighter tannins. Some vanilla or oak may be present, but not a whole lot. Also not terribly complex, but very good. I don't know how well this will age. The tannins and alcohol are in balance, but not blockbusters, and in several years may be too muted and rate a lower score. I'd make this my go-to bottle only for the next few years. (1239 views) Tasted by Yack Man on 8/15/2012 & rated 90 points: I like this Cab. My thoughts have not changed on this wine. Patience will be rewarded, but drinking very nicely right now. (2076 views) Tasted by Yack Man on 6/24/2012 & rated 90 points: Winner! Give it time to evolve in your cellar, or decant and enjoy it now. I see another 1-2 points with a little time on the side. I have never tried the Reserve, but now I am curious and will have to try it. I would expect a bigger, full bodied, more concentrated, intense wine. (2944 views) Tasted by Anonymous on 6/20/2012 & rated 93 points: Smooth yet powerful cab with a balanced expression of fruit, oak and tannins. This is good now, but will probably benefit from some more cellaring also. (3007 views) Tasted by Yack Man on 6/15/2012 & rated 90 points: This is very nice vintage. It is polished, good structure with a youthful richness that needs to develop, BUT if decanted is very enjoyable right now. I can hardly wait to experience how this vintage will evolve. Clearly young but loaded with big potential 90++ (2998 views) Tasted by jriggleman on 6/3/2012 & rated 93 points: silky tannins with a nice ripe dark berry aroma, awesome Cab for the price!
Paired with a medium rare grilled steak I found this a nice compliment. Rich, full bodied, with a long finish to it. My regards to the vintner who did a masterful job with this wine which I highly recommend to accompany your meal or as a stand alone on a cool summer night along with some smooth jazz in the background. Salute!

Rustic, displaying a loamy, earthy streak that runs through a tight mix of graphite, dried currant and herbal sage notes. Full-bodied, ending with drying tannins. Drink now through 2016. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.
Tighter and earthier than many '01 Napa Cabs, and not offering as much decadent enjoyment, although it's still a good wine. Full-bodied and oaky, with a touch of raisins.
Sweet scents of vanilla extract masterfully blended with black cherry and blackberry aromas. In the mouth flavors are lush, with gobs of fruit and a soft, supple texture typical of Cabernet grown in the Oakville district.
This is a big and lush Cabernet, with huge gobs of fruit in the aroma and flavor. The sweet vanilla character derived from 20 months in the barrels blends well with the black cherry and blackberry flavors and aromas of the wine.

Winemaker Notes - This is a big and lush Cabernet, with huge gobs of fruit in the aroma and flavor. The sweet vanilla character derived from 20 months in the barrels blends well with the black cherry and blackberry flavors and aromas of the wine. The texture of the wine is soft and supple, typical of Cabs grown in the Oakville AVA. Patience during aging will reward the "steward"; with an outstanding bottle over the next 10 to 15 years. Menu suggestion: "A slab and a Cab", Dennis Groth recommends you drink his Cabernet Sauvignon with steak.

Yes, there is an economic downturn, but many companies are using it as an excuse to trim an inflated work force and increase the number of foreign, indentured servants. It is also a veiled form of corruption. The common practice here in Taiwan is to give long term employees a yearly bonus worth one to several months pay. The management lays off large numbers of employees using the economic downturn as an excuse. They then pocket a large portion of their employees bonuses and hire new workers, out of the ever expanding labor pool, after the holiday. This is a pendulum that will correct itself in a short time. English teacher rates are the same as they have always been. It is newbie teachers with no negotiating experience, that are getting lower rates. About three years ago, rates went up about 20% in one year due to the drop in the currency exchange rate. That rate changed region wide. The pay rate has since stabilized. If the pay rate in Japan and Korea falls, Taiwan's will as well. As Taiwan is often last on the list for F.E.T.s preferences, it will have the least fluctuation. The ever growing market for ESL teachers in China, only threatens to bring the pay up even further. An unemployment rate of around 5% is not that significant. Their is also a growing resentment for foreign workers who are taking the local workers jobs. That could go either way.

Penguins' GM Ray Shero sets trade deadline tone with early deals
Wily Penguin: GM Ray Shero is boldly grabbing useful players at a price he can afford. (Gene J. Puskar/AP)
By Allan Muir
There was some famous science guy (I'm think it was Dr. Emmett Brown), who once said, "For every action there is an equal an opposite reaction."
Or maybe it was someone on the TSN TradeCentre panel. That quote's a hard one to place.
Anyway, the point is this: the Pittsburgh Penguins -- the Eastern Conference-leading Pittsburgh Penguins -- made the first move on Sunday to secure that lofty position and hopefully better their postseason chances when they outbid the field for Dallas Stars captain Brenden Morrow. Then they upped the ante on Monday morning by acquiring hard-rock defender Douglas Murray from the San Jose Sharks.
GM Ray Shero is leading the way and daring the rest of the league to keep up. Just like he always does.
Now you can tell from the sound of corks popping in Pittsburgh that most fans there haven't seen a lot of either player lately. Morrow has a big heart and he'll give you everything he has, but his body is breaking down faster than Taylor Kitsch's career. And Murray? Well, there was a time last year when some prankster inserted a photo of a pylon on his Wikipedia page.
But here's the thing: Shero assessed his team's deficiencies and addressed them to his satisfaction. He believes in those two guys, just like he believed in Hal Gill back in 2009. Gill was seen as a guy whose time had passed, but he filled a role admirably for a Pittsburgh team that went on to win the Stanley Cup.
While other general managers nibble at the corners, Shero has a track record of getting right to the heart of it, making bold, decisive acquisitions like Marian Hossa, James Neal, Tomas Vokoun and Chris Kunitz. And yes, Morrow and Murray.
So maybe neither player is a superstar in his prime, but that isn't the point. While other GMs continue to kick the tires, Shero went out and got the guys he wanted at a price he was willing to pay.
And that's the kicker. He hasn't just made the effort to improve his own club. He's set the market for every other team that's hoping to get in before the deadline. And he set it high.
So now, anyone who wants to stay in the game is going to have to dig very, very deep. Or simply walk away from the table.
Even after those deals, Shero may not be done massaging his lineup. He has both the cap space and the personnel assets to make a significant move. Maybe two.
That's championship-caliber leadership.

The Times They Are A Changing - Roosevelt Island Riverwalk Condo Priced At $2 Million, $1 Million Plus Coops For Sale At Rivercross And Island House Too
According to this May 30 Bloomberg article:A $2 million condo on Roosevelt Island is a sign of the times https://t.co/qAeThyJNO1 pic.twitter.com/QAw0yiEuhp— Bloomberg (@business) May 30, 2017
... The Corcoran Group agent has listed a three-bedroom condo there for $2 million, the highest price ever sought -- or paid -- for a residence on the island, once home to a smallpox hospital and now bustling with construction of a new Cornell University campus.The $2 million apartment ($1395 per sq ft) is located in Riverwalk Court, 415 Main Street.
With three-bedroom apartments in Manhattan selling for a median of $3.15 million, Garama says his potentially record-setting price is a bargain for homebuyers hunting for more space and who might consider the island over the more traditional alternatives of Queens and Brooklyn....
Real Estate web site Streeteasy reports of several million dollar plus apartments for sale at Roosevelt Island's Riverwalk, Rivercross and Island House buildings including:
- Island House 575 Main Street 3 bedrooms $1.325 Million ($800 per sq ft))
- Rivercross 531 Main Street 2 bedrooms $ 1,15 Million ($851 per sq ft)
- Riverwalk Place 455 Main Street 2 bedrooms $1.25 million ($1288 per sq ft) and
- Island House 555 Main Street 2 bedrooms $845 Thousand ($802 per sq ft).
- Rivercross 531 Main Street 1 bedroom $699,999 ( $708 per sq ft)
There is a growing concern among many current Roosevelt Island residents that they will soon be priced out of their homes.

When Raquel Feroe began creating her low-maintenance rock garden, she simply started with a pile of dirt left behind by the contractor who had built her home. The busy specialist in internal medicine says she knew what she didn't want: to maintain a lawn, to buy annuals every spring or to worry about regular watering. Instead, she created a front yard where, "there is nothing I have to do - only things I like doing."
Other than purchasing large stone pavers to create a curving path to her front porch, most of Feroe's investment has been in sweat equity. For plants, she chose aggressive, "weedy" ground covers to reap immediate results.
She started with snow-in-summer, sedums, creeping Jenny and creeping thyme, each of which need only regular watering to become established. Feroe advises beginner gardeners to really become familiar with the soil they are gardening, and then to be realistic about what is achievable.
"Big questions are: Dry or wet? Well-drained or not?" Feroe says. "For example, some plants like to stay consistently moist, while others like a good watering, but will get root rot without enough drainage."
Other considerations include shade or sun, tall or short, native or non-native, edible or not, and aggressive or well-behaved.
"If I had to do it again, I'd just do native plants and really celebrate the cool local plants we have," says Feroe, adding that she plans to start adding yellow lady's slipper and some of Alberta's 26 other native orchids to her yard. She recommends prairie crocus because it is an attractive early bloomer.
Other plants she's added include a "cute" prairie native in the iris family called blue-eyed grass, wood lilies in contrasting fuchsia and orange, and low-lying delicate dryas.
Feroe encourages learning by trial and error. For example, if she really likes a plant, she'll get three and place them in different areas of the yard - to find out where they are happiest.
She also doesn't waste any time on struggling plants.
"If you are fighting aphids on lupins each year, get rid of them and try something else."
Feroe says she's gained a lot of knowledge by joining the Edmonton Naturalization Group (edmontonnaturalizationgroup.org), an informal group that promotes the use of native plants. She also encourages inexperienced gardeners to "talk to the locals."
"There's probably some really good gardeners in your area with nice plants. I think that's the whole sport of gardening - being outside and talking to neighbours."
Feroe has learned from her mistakes, however. When she was laying down her slate pavers, "I just smoothed down the dirt and threw down a rock," rather than putting down sand and making sure they were levelled. "So, they're wearing out a lot quicker than they should."
Since she started it a decade ago, her yard has evolved into more of a habitat for the natural world, rather than manicured eye candy. A story from last summer makes her especially proud.
One day, she says, she noticed a lot of somethings crawling on a plant that she'd been given as a gift and then forgotten about.
"I saw these huge caterpillars on it. Fifteen years ago, I might have thought, 'Oh, go get the pesticide.' "
But Feroe has amended that approach since she started reading labels and realized that many of the ingredients in gardening products are the same chemicals she learned about while studying toxicology in medical school.
Instead of doing away with the caterpillars, she watched with interest as they head-butted each other, fighting for food. "There were 12 of them and they were eating the plant to smithereens; they had it chewed down to nubbins and all the green was gone."
The grubs were monarch butterflies and Feroe was able to find and keep an eye on one of the chrysalides, which later took flight and disappeared over her neighbour's fence.
The plant they'd found so irresistibly tasty was a native low milkweed, and despite their feasting, it came back spectacularly about three weeks later, and bloomed in the fall.
Feroe has also learned to embrace plants that are really hard to love.
"Every thistle is edible - just peel off the prickly parts. Dandelions do exist in my yard, for one reason: I pull them out and grind them for coffee roasting or for hot compost" - a rapid composting technique using carbon-and nitrogen-rich materials like grass clipping and dry leaves.
Pesticide-free and drought-resistant, Feroe's front yard is also "easy," because she lets it do its own thing.
"But occasionally, I get out the shovel and refresh areas that have upset my sensibilities. A non-native Hungarian violet has taken over and I plan to attack it this spring."
Otherwise, Feroe will sit back and enjoy sharing her garden with neighbours and local fauna.

Another one from F-Zero.
Mr. EAD. Look at his belt. His face looks like Mario and EAD means Entertainment Analysis & Development. The same department that makes almost every Nintendo games. The creator of his ship "The Great Star" is Shiggs Mapone, they didn't even try to hide the reference to Shigeru Miyamoto.
He is also present in the ultimate ending in F-Zero X. To see this ending, you need the 64DD and the Disk Drive Expansion and then win every cup in master mode with all 30 vehicles (thus 180 championships in the highest difficulty). After that, the regular ending on Joker Cup and DD2 Cup isn't the usual one. It isn't shown on the video but you can zoom, move and turn Mr. EAD with the pad. It's been discovered in 2006, 8 years after the release.
Cacildo´s note: 8 years to find a secret. A 64DD is needed and you also have to beat every single cup with all the 30 vehicles. After all that you get a secret ending: MR EAD dancing. Man, if it was me getting through all this, i would be very pissed

Student professor intimate relationship attacked
Mark Bourrie of the Ottawa Watch blog has complained to the Dean of Arts of Concordia University about a fellow university instructor who allegedly is having an intimate relationship with a Concordia student. Bourrie does not name the professor or student in his letter of complaint to the dean.
He states that his concerns relate to unprompted conversations he has had with eleven of his female students. He goes on to state that "The alleged affair is common knowledge among students in one of the university's departments."
The problem that Bourrie has is that a consensual sexual relationship between a student and professor is not prohibited at Concordia University. The Concordia Dean of Arts responded to Bourrie in these terms-
"Thank you for bringing this matter to my attention. You should be aware that "Concordia does not forbid intimate [consensual] relationships between faculty and students". We recognize that such relationships are intrinsically problematic, and strongly advise both students and faculty members against engaging in them, but they are not forbidden."
The fact that the alleged relationship falls outside of the purview of regulation by the Concordia administration and treats students and professors as having the right to engage in autonomous decision making in regards to choice of romantic partners does not impress Dr. Bourrie. Far from it , he responds to said policy in these terms-
"That's outrageous. Your answer is completely unacceptable. The power imbalance between a professor and a student is such that sexual relationships cross the boundaries of exploitation. I will bring this matter to the attention of the president of the university. Quite frankly, the conduct and attitudes of administrators and professors at Concordia borders on the bizarre."
So Bourrie knows that in the alleged current situation, boundaries of exploitation have been crossed; he knows that such is the case since he believes that there is a power imbalance in any student professor sexual relationship and such crosses the boundaries of exploitation. Of course. Bourie ends up thoroughly objectifying and dehumanizing any student professor relationship. He doesn't have to talk to the parties involved; he has already defined the parties in his cartoon world imagery. As for the female student, no matter that she may feel that she is not being exploited, no matter that she may see herself as an adult who has consented to the relationship, Bourrie knows her mind better that she knows her mind.
Bourrie goes on and the dankprofessor believes that he eventually tells us what is the dynamic fueling his opposition to student professor relationships-
"I am quite scandalized by this. The idea of, say, a 40-year-old prof and an 18-year-old student having a "relationship" just boggles the mind. I have a 14-year-old daughter. In four years, she could be "dating" some prof at Concordia. Quite frankly, I have found academia to be the most disfunctional and downright corrupt thing I have ever come into contact with… Apparently, the Senate of Concordia has considered the issue, and it's OK for profs to have sex with students. Guess where my kids aren't going…"
Bourrie's story is the same old story for many of those opposing student professor relationships. The story is about protecting ones children or others peoples children from the evil adult predatory professors.
Of course, what Bourrie wants is the administration to represent authoritarian parents in helping them regulate the lives of their children. Viewing college students as adults is simply out of the question. Entertaining the notion that some students are older adults and wish to date professors who are also younger adults of a similar age is also out of the realm of possibility for Bourrie. Of course, at many universities many students are well beyond their teens, many are in their twenties thirties and forties and even some beyond. And, yes, I met my wife to be when she was a student of mine and in her fifties.
But as far as age is concerned, younger students deserve the same rights as older students. They have a right to be free of the power control and abuse of more powerful abusers, whether the abusers be authoritarian parents or administrators. The irony for Bourrie and likeminded others is that in the name of attacking a so-called power imbalance between students and professors they want a power imbalance in which they want absolute control. What utter hypocrisy!
Now the dankprofessor wishes to make it clear that he is not opposed to Bourrie, to university administrators providing their advice to students or to whomever they wish to provide advice. What the dankprofessor opposes is Bourrie and university administrations having the right to coerce others in
terms of romantic choice. Concordia University provides advice to their students and professors in this area. The problem is that they provide bad advice. The remainder of this post is devoted to presenting and critiquing said advice.
Presented below is the official university advice on student professor relationships; the text of this statement is highlighted. The dankprofessor's comments appear unhilighted in the text of the statement.
Concordia does not forbid intimate relationships between faculty and students that are consensual. However, such relationships are fraught with danger and the recommendation from the Advisor is that it is better to avoid them.
There are several reasons for this recommendation, not the least of which is the observation that when such relationships sour – and they often do – it is the student who usually loses, not the faculty member. Offices that provide services to students often hear these tales, and know that, more often than not, the student drops out of a course, a program or even the university. Professionally speaking, faculty should be encouraging students to learn, not taking risks with their academic futures.
Of course, consistent with this advice is that persons never take risks in context of romantic and sexual relationships. In all relationships there are risks of relationships terminating; in marriage there are risks in marriages ending in divorce. In all human endeavors, there are risks of failure. Of course, no evidence is presented in the Ottawa statement that student prof relationships are more risky than other relationships. And the writer of this statement very well knows that when one goes to counseling services, one almost always hears "tales" of woes. If the observer/researcher can't get out of his office and observe the myriad world of relationships, such represents laziness and incompetence. The statement is also insulting to faculty implying that the faculty psyche is beyond frailty and they do not experience loss when a relationship with a student ends. The last sentence- "Professionally speaking, faculty should be encouraging students to learn, not taking risks with their academic futures" – is particularly absurd and insulting. The notion that if the faculty member is romantically involved with the student he or she cannot encourage the student to learn is beyond the pale. In fact, I would argue based on the experience of many others, that the situation is just the opposite, that the prof is devoted to student learning. As the dankprofessor has pointed out- the love of knowledge can very well lead to the knowledge of love.
What faculty members may not realize is that they also place themselves and the University at risk by crossing this particular boundary. If a student who has entered a relationship with a professor decides, upon its termination, to file a complaint of sexual harassment, the case will turn on the issue of consent. There is a view that, given the considerable power differential between student and professor, a student's consent to a relationship is always compromised. Whether one subscribes to this argument or not, human rights tribunals have supported it. The question becomes, is it worth the risk?
The dankprofessor would like to see the citations of so-called tribunals that there cannot be consent when there is a power differential between a student and a professor. If so, then Concordia is de jure governed by these cases and by definition there can be no such consensual relationships between students and profs. In any case, if all consensual relationships ended tomorrow, sexual harassment cases will continue unabated at universities. To conflate sexual harassment and consensual relationships does a disservice to those who are attempting to combat sexual harassment on campus and ends up trivializing sexual harassment.
There are other, less controversial legal arguments that suggest that faculty refrain from such relationships, namely breach of trust and conflict of interest. Here too, human rights tribunals and arbitration boards have found against faculty members. Faculty have a duty to avoid conflict of interest and to exercise their power over students only in the students' interests, not in their own interests.
Again, it is presumptuous that faculty involved with students do not take the interests of students seriously. Conflict of interest issues deserve attention in respect to all aspects of university life. Given this, there is no special need for a category regarding student prof relationships. Campaigns against such relationships are sexually based, have an anti-sexual basis, and are generally not conflict of interests based
Faculty members should be mindful of Concordia's own Code of Ethics, which defines the conflicts of interest that arise when there is a personal relationship between a faculty member and a student.
The requirement is that if the relationship cannot be avoided, the faculty member should excuse him- or herself from any supervisory or evaluative role with regard to the student concerned. It is not necessary to declare the reasons for the conflict. So at the very least, if you cannot avoid the relationship, you should declare it.
And declaring it, is this in the interest of the student? Shouldn't the student have a say in the matter? Declaring the relationship makes the relationship a public relationship and now will fall officially within the purview of university administration decision making. My advice is to never declare these relationships to the university. By doing this the danger to both the student and prof goes way up.
As for students, the advice given by a student quoted in a University Affairs article is: "Do not have sex with anyone you sometimes have to call Mister, Doctor or Professor" – it may cost you dearly.
OK, lets get down to the nitty-gritty, the fear here is that the title will be replaced by the first name or darling or my love, or love, etc, etc. Such opposition to terms of endearment might represent a fear of undermining the university stratification system. And in terms of authoritarian structures or states, love is always the enemy.

This climate is characterized by relatively high temperatures and evenly distributed precipitation throughout the year. This climate type is found on the eastern sides of the continents between 20° and 35° N and S latitude. In summer, these regions are largely under the influence of moist, maritime airflow from the western side of the subtropical anticyclonic cells over low-latitude ocean waters. Temperatures are high and can lead to warm, oppressive nights. Summers are usually somewhat wetter than winters, with much of the rainfall coming from convectional thunderstorm activity; tropical cyclones also enhance warm-season rainfall in some regions. The coldest month is usually quite mild, although frosts are not uncommon, and winter precipitation is derived primarily from frontal cyclones along the polar front.
The Köppen Climate Classification subtype for this climate is "Cfa". (Humid Subtropical Climate).

Boundaries; Why We Need ThemTuesday, December 11th, 2012
Recently, one of my FB friends was displeased with me because I deleted a comment she made on my wall. I had written a quote and a short statement after the quote and she responded to the post. After I deleted her first comment, she wrote a second one and I once again deleted her comment. The third comment she wrote, in response, was on her own wall and I had no power to delete it and this was the point. You see, what other people do is their business and I have no attachment to it, but what other people do to me…now that's a different story.
We all have a responsibility to ourselves and to the people around us to make some clear and well defined boundaries. Boundaries let others know what you will and will not accept. In my example with my FB friend, I had written a post and she responded in a way that I felt was not in alignment with the post, so I deleted her comment. She did not like the fact that I deleted her post and she told me that "it saddened" her. My response was to let her know that it was not my intention to "sadden" her.[I think she was half joking; she was not really sad.] My intention was to make it clear to her that her comment was not acceptable to me and by deleting it, I believe that I did that. When she wrote on her own wall, I had no attachment to what she wrote…her wall; her boundaries. 🙂
Sometimes people will not like the boundaries that you set and some may even deliberately cross the boundaries but that does not in any way invalidate the boundary. Again, your responsibility is to set the boundary-whether someone likes the boundary or not is not your business.
If a person deliberately crosses the boundary, you may remind them of the boundary, but don't take it personally because their inability to respect boundaries is their "stuff"; not yours. If a person is consistently crossing your boundaries and you have been diligently reminding them of the said boundaries, then it's decision time. People either contaminate or contribute to our lives and boundaries make it easier to see the difference. It is your decision who you allow in your life.
I'm not saying that we should all go around setting unnecessary boundaries and trying to decide if people are crossing them or not. Some boundary crossing is harmless, like the guy [or gal] at work who always gets right in your face during conversation or the boss who loves to touch people while he is talking to them or even my FB friend who from time to time writes silly things on my wall! What I am saying is: be clear about what you will and will not accept. The people who deserve to be in your life will respect that and those who don't won't.

Canada will open the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup Azerbaijan 2012 against group opponent Nigeria this Saturday, September 22. The match at Tofig Bahramov Stadium kicks off at 5 a.m. PT.
Canada's roster features four Whitecaps FC Girls Elite players: defender Aman Shergill, midfielder/striker Jasmin Dhanda, and strikers Summer Clarke and Elissa Neff.
"Nigeria is becoming more and more organized in its women's football program," said Canadian U-17 head coach Bryan Rosenfeld. "They are definitely a squad with which to be reckoned. They have strengths with which we will have to handle, but we also have strengths with which they will have to handle."
Like Canada, Nigeria is participating in its third FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup tournament. In fact, Nigeria has participated in all nine FIFA women's youth tournaments (U-20 and U-17), winning a silver medal at the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup Germany 2010.
The 16-team FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup Azerbaijan 2012 runs from September 22 to October 13, with group matches played from September 22 to 30. This year's tournament features players born 1995 or later. This marks the third edition of the biennial tournament.

What You Need To Know
What Is Identity Theft?
Identity theft is the unlawful use of another person's identification. Identity theft may take many forms. Common methods of identity theft include credit card or other financial institution fraud, phone or utility service theft, and the taking of government documents or benefits. However, thieves are finding new ways of using the identity of their victims every day.
The tragic events of September 11 have helped financial institutions and federal regulators learn more about the ways in which terrorists and terrorist organizations finance their activities. Some of their methods included opening accounts and moving funds using false identities or stolen information about real account holders. One way in which you may help stop these activities and make our financial institutions safer is to protect your account information from thieves and unauthorized users.
How Does Identity Theft Occur?
Surprising to most people is that identity theft is actually a very easy crime to commit. In fact, over 1,400 people are victimized each day. That being the case, it is important for you to know how these thieves operate so you can protect your personal information.
At the heart of the crime is the thief obtaining information that most people would assume only the true owner of the information would know. Common examples are social security numbers, driver's license numbers, financial institution account numbers, mother's maiden names, and passport information.
Thieves obtain this information in numerous ways. Some thieves will steal wallets, purses, and even mail. Others will listen and/or watch a person conduct personal business, such as talking on the telephone or getting cash from an automated teller machine. Thieves will also deceive or trick people into disclosing personal information through phone scams, via the mail, or on the Internet.
Very aggressive thieves will even obtain personal information by using a process referred to as "pretext calling." Pretext calling occurs when an individual contacts an entity in possession of a customer's personal information and cons the entity into releasing the information by acting as the customer or someone authorized to have the customer's information.
Once a thief has possession of the information, the thief will apply for credit cards, loans, phone services, or just about any other service where economic gain can be realized without actual payment. When applying for credit cards, loans, or other services, thieves will often intentionally use incorrect addresses or complete change of address forms on existing accounts so that the victim will not be immediately aware of the crime.
How Does Identity Theft Affect Me?
Identity theft can cause its victims numerous problems. Most significantly, it can destroy the financial history you have worked so hard to obtain. Repairing your credit history can require significant time and money. You may not be able to stop a thief until thousands of dollars of debt have been attributed to you.
How Can I Protect Myself From Identity Theft?
The following are just some of the ways you can reduce the risk of identity theft:
- Keep your credit cards, debit cards, personal identification numbers (PINs) and other passwords, checks, social security cards, other cards or documents which bear your social security number, health insurance cards, driver's license and number, and other personal information where they will be safe. When disposing of these items, do so by shredding.
- Keep your deposit and withdrawal slips, credit card purchase receipts, financial institution statements, credit card statements, utility bills, medical bills, insurance information, investment updates, and credit card solicitations where they will be safe. When disposing of them, do so by shredding.
- Don't put your trash out until shortly before it will be picked up.
- Mail bill payments and other items that contain personal information at a U.S. Postal Service drop box rather than in your curbside mailbox. Don't put any mail in your curbside mailbox until shortly before it will be picked up.
- Take your mail out of your curbside mailbox as soon as possible after it has been delivered. If you are traveling, have the U.S. Postal Service hold your mail or have someone you trust pick it up daily.
- Limit the information on your checks, and don't carry around any more cards than necessary.
- Don't give any of your personal information in person, over the telephone, or over the Internet to anyone--unless you have a very good reason to trust them.
- Don't give any of your personal information in response to an unsolicited e-mail claiming to be from your financial institution or some other highly credible source. This is a technique referred to as "phishing." Be sure to validate the request before providing the information (for example, contact the customer service telephone number on your account statement to ask about the request).
- Don't give any of your personal information to any web sites that do not use encryption or other secure methods to protect it.
- Use a firewall if you have a high-speed Internet connection. This software can be purchased on-line or from most software retailers.
- Don't use PINs or passwords that are easy to guess (for example, don't use birth dates or spouse, child, or pet names).
- Examine your credit card and financial institution statements immediately upon receipt to determine whether there were any unauthorized transactions. Report any that you find immediately to the financial institution.
- Make a prompt inquiry if bills or statements are not received in a timely fashion--this could mean that they are being diverted by an identity thief.
- Obtain copies of your credit report annually from each of the three major credit reporting agencies (Equifax®,1-800-685-1111; Experian®, 1-888-397-3742; TransUnion®, 1-800-888-4213) to be sure that they are accurate.
You may also wish to do the following:
- Request not to receive any further preapproved offers of credit by calling 1-888-5-OPT-OUT.
- Ask to be removed from national direct mail lists by writing to the DMA Mail Preference Service, P.O. Box 643, Carmel, NY 10512, or going online to www.dmachoice.org. Include your name and address.
- Register with the National Do Not Call Registry by calling 1-888-382-1222 or going online at www.donotcall.gov.
What Should I Do If My Identity Has Been Stolen?
In the event that you suspect your identity has been stolen or you are, in fact, certain that it has been stolen, follow these simple steps:
1. Contact the fraud department of at least one of the following three major credit reporting agencies and ask that a fraud alert be placed in your credit file and for a free credit report (to be on the safe side you may wish to contact all three):
Equifax® — 1-800-525-6285;
P.O. Box 740241, Atlanta, GA
Experian® — 1-888-EXPERIAN (397-3742);
P.O. Box 9532,
Allen, TX 75013
TransUnion® — 1-800-680-7289;
Fraud Victim Assistance Division
P.O. Box 6790, Fullerton, CA
2. Close all accounts that are or may be affected by the identity theft.
Also, regarding any checking accounts thus closed, contact the following major check verification companies and ask that retailers using their databases not accept checks drawn on the closed accounts:
- TeleCheck® — 1-800-710-9898 or 927-0188
- Certegy, Inc. — 1-800-437-5120
- International Check Services® — 1-800-631-9656.
3. File a police report and obtain a copy for submission to credit reporting agencies, creditors, and others.
4. Contact the Federal Trade Commission to report the theft and obtain further guidance as to how to protect yourself: www.ftc.gov/idtheft or call 1-877-IDTHEFT (438-4338)
Identity Theft Clearinghouse
Federal Trade Commission
600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, DC 20580
5. If you know or suspect that your mail has been stolen, contact the United States Postal Service.
6. Keep detailed records of any theft of your identity and of your efforts to resolve the same.
- Log the date, time, and amount of any unauthorized activity on your accounts.
- Log the date, time, duration, and cost of any phone calls.
- Log the date and cost of any mailings and keep copies.

Uncle Joe's to move into old Rolling Meadows Dominick's site
Nearly nine years after the Dominick's store in downtown Rolling Meadows left town, a new grocery store will open in that space.
Mayor Tom Rooney announced Monday that Uncle Joe's Tuscan Fresh Market -- tied to the Caputo family of grocers -- will open by October.
Rooney's announcement, in front of the Rolling Meadows Chamber of Commerce luncheon, was met by huge applause.
"By the end of 2013 this saga, the most rotten downside of Rolling Meadows, should have a whole new face on the outside and the inside," the mayor proclaimed.
The interior and exterior of the store, on Kirchoff Road, will be remodeled at the same time, he said.
Uncle Joe's will use 55,000 square feet, while the Dominick's had 72,000 square feet.
The entire shopping center -- which will be renamed Meadows Marketplace -- has 133,000 square feet of gross leasable area, which will be reduced to 122,402 with the addition of a dock for the grocery store, according to a zoning petition from Clark Street Development, which took ownership of the site in July.
The center has two tenants, according to papers filed with the city.
Rolling Meadows referred calls about Uncle Joe's to Louis Ruffolo and Nat Caputo. Ruffolo said ownership of the store will not be discussed at this early point, and that Caputo is a consultant. Nat Caputo could not be reached.
Ruffolo said there is no legal affiliation between Uncle Joe's and the Caputo grocery companies, but an invitation to neighborhood residents to learn more about the store calls Uncle Joe's "an adaptation of the Caputo's family of grocery stores."
Caputo's is particularly known for their produce, but Ruffolo said Uncle Joe's will be a full-service grocery store.
Principals of Uncle Joe's and Clark Street Development have invited neighbors to a meeting about the project, at 6 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 28, at the Rolling Meadows Public Library, 3110 Martin Lane.
"We are excited about it," said Ruffolo. "We will do everything in our power to make sure it happens, but there are obstacles that must be overcome."
Clark Street has filed for a reduction in the number of parking spaces required. Current code would require at least 705 parking spaces, and the developer proposes 519, the letter says.
Clark Street also wants the land returned to its previous commercial zoning. Part of it was rezoned residential in 2006 in anticipation of demolition and redevelopment that never occurred.
Officials of Clark Street could not be reached for comment Monday.
Rooney said the plans will go to the city's plan commission and city council next month. City officials said they think the developer is also close to signing one smaller lease for the center.
Rooney has complained frequently about the center's previous owners and said the Dominick's has been vacant and deteriorating for about eight years.
Clark Street plans to keep the buildings' foundations, walls and steel, while replacing "facade, roof, mechanicals, redeveloped parking lot, landscape, lighting and signage."
At a September city council meeting, Peter Eisenberg, a Clark Street principal, said the redevelopment is expected to cost about $4.5 million.
The council has agreed to give the developer approximately $700,000 in tax increment financing money, funded by property taxes above a frozen amount that goes to local governments.

In Houston ahead of Wednesday's match against the Dynamo, three Toronto FC players found themselves spending a night in jail. According to the Toronto Sun, Luis Silva, Miguel Aceval and Nick Soolsma were arrested for public intoxication after being involved with a fight at the Escobar club in Midtown. (Being soccer players, their fighting presumably consisted of a lot of kicking.)
"There was a large disturbance outside, the club called," a Houston Police spokesman told the Sun. "Our officers tried to disperse the fight at which time they refused to leave and then began to have verbal altercations with the officers. One of them ran and so the officer ran and the officer took him into custody."
TFC has the worst record in MLS, but at least these three players, from three different countries, are getting along swimmingly.

F-35A Successfully Completes High Angle Of Attack Testing – May 16, 2013– Edward Airbase, USA (Techreleased) – The latest in a series of Lockheed Martin F-35A high angle of attack (AOA) testing was recently completed.
The testing accomplished high AOA beyond both the positive and negative maximum command limits, including intentionally putting the aircraft out of control in several configurations. This included initially flying in the stealth clean wing configuration. It was followed by testing with external air-to-air pylons and missiles and then with open weapon bay doors. The F-35A began edge-of-the-envelope high AOA testing in the Fall 2012. For all testing, recovery from out of control flight has been 100 percent successful without the use of the spin recovery chute, which is carried to maximize safety.

(Wired) How is it possible that a dozen different motorists around the Russian city of Chelyabinsk were able to capture video of a massive meteor flying through the sky? Because almost everyone in Russia has a dash-mounted video camera in their car.
The sheer size of the country, combined with lax — and often corrupt — law enforcement, and a legal system that rarely favors first-hand accounts of traffic collisions has made dash cams all but a requirement for motorists.
"You can get into your car without your pants on, but never get into a car without a dash cam," Aleksei Dozorov, a motorists' rights activist in Russia told Radio Free Europe last year.

Michigan Tech Kicks Off Public Phase of $200 Million Campaign
At its regular meeting July 15, Michigan Technological University's Board of Trustees approved a goal of $200 million for a capital campaign now under way at the University. The funds raised will be used primarily but not exclusively for endowed faculty support and student financial aid, said George Butvilas, chair of the Michigan Tech Fund, the nonprofit corporation that receives, invests and disburses gifts to further the University's strategic plan.
"Michigan Tech's goals are to attract outstanding faculty and to provide the best hands-on education to prepare our students to be leaders in our technological world," said President Glenn D. Mroz. "This campaign will help us meet those goals."
During its quiet phase—a time when a select few major donors are approached privately—the campaign already has raised $120 million. The public phase, which began July 1, will last three years. The Board will revisit the goal each year, adjusting it as appropriate.
Michigan Tech entered the campaign with only five endowed faculty positions. That number has already climbed to 16, thanks to donors' contributions. Since the beginning of the campaign, $10.9 million has been raised in new scholarship and fellowship funding.
"The importance of private support for education at state universities is increasing dramatically as state funding continues to shrink," said Dave House, a Michigan Tech alumnus and chair of the national campaign committee. "Private funding is the only way to secure the University's future."
Also commenting on shrinking state support in his opening remarks, President Mroz recalled that the Board agreed at its May meeting to revisit tuition for the upcoming school year once the state's fiscal year 2011 is finalized. "It is still our intention to do that if state funding cuts are not as severe as we anticipated," he said. "There remain many budget uncertainties, and we continue to monitor the situation."
The Board approved purchase of the former Blizzard Snowplow manufacturing plant near the Houghton County Memorial Airport. Michigan Tech will pay $1.55 million for the 55,000 square foot building, which will be used for research and education related to hybrid electric automotive technologies. The Keweenaw Research Center (KRC) will also use part of the building, saving the University the cost of a second new building planned for the KRC.
The Board also approved construction of a 9,000 square foot building adjacent to the Advanced Technology Development Complex on Sharon Avenue in Houghton and authorized the University to issue $1.5 million in bonds. Private funding to cover the cost of the bond financing has already been pledged from several individual donors.
The structure will provide a transitional home for the A. E. Seaman Mineral Museum, which is being moved to free up space in the Electrical Energy Resources Center (EERC). That space is being remodeled to house collaborative research projects in electrical and computer engineering and computer science, areas of recent growth which is anticipated to continue in line with the University's strategic plan.
The $400,000 renovation of the EERC is being funded entirely by private donations, the Board was told.
The long-range plan is still to move the mineral museum to Quincy Hill in Hancock. When it does relocate, that will free up space in the new building on Sharon Avenue for more research and business incubator space.
In other business, the Board
- Gave final approval for Tech to offer two new Ph.D. degrees, one in environmental and energy policy and another in geophysics.
- Awarded the late Jacob R. Oswald an honorary posthumous Bachelor of Science degree in Forestry.
- Named a mechanical engineering research facility on Ethel Avenue in Hancock the Alternative Energy Research Building.
- Authorized the University to proceed with construction of the Great Lakes Research Center on the waterfront at Michigan Tech.
Michigan Technological University is a public research university, home to more than 7,000 students from 54 countries. Founded in 1885, the University offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in science and technology, engineering, forestry, business and economics, health professions, humanities, mathematics, and social sciences. Our campus in Michigan's Upper Peninsula overlooks the Keweenaw Waterway and is just a few miles from Lake Superior.
