Nobody said it would be easy. On Aurore, life is no paradise.

Elaine volpe's Reviews > Penny from Heaven
Penny from Heaven
by Jennifer L. Holm (Goodreads Author)
by Jennifer L. Holm (Goodreads Author)
** spoiler alert **
Penny is a young girl struggling to understand her family history. She lives with her mom and her grandparents, but spends a lot of time with the big Italian side of her family as well. Her father was Italian, but died when she was little. Her mother rarely talks about her father and never discusses his death. This frustrates Penny and although she spends great amounts of time with her father's family, Nonny, Uncle Dominic, Uncle Nunzio, and many many more, they don't give her clear answers either. Penny spends a lot of time with her cousin and best friend, Frankie. Unfortunately, the two have a way of finding mischief easily. One day, while they are looking for a buried treasure in her Nonny's basement, Penny suffers a gruesome and painful accident. Her arm is actually yanked through a wringer which is a machine they used for drying clothes before they invented driers. It crushed her arm; grinded it like meat. Luckily, her arm was saved and in the process, so was her family! The accident reunited her mom with her dad's side of the family since after his death, they never spoke. And Penny finally found out the truth about how her father died.

Righthaven may contest creditor's writ to seize its assets
Righthaven Archives
VEGAS INC archives
- Marshals ordered to seize Righthaven assets (11-1-2011)
- First Righthaven trial called off (11-1-2011)
- Righthaven misses deadlines, again faces asset seizure threat (10-29-2011)
- Defense attorneys hit Righthaven lawyer with sanctions motion (10-26-2011)
- Legal attacks under way in advance of first Righthaven trial (10-25-2011)
- Another judge doubtful of Righthaven's standing to sue (10-25-2011)
Copyright lawsuit filer Righthaven LLC of Las Vegas signaled Wednesday that a creditor will have to jump through more hoops before it gains control of Righthaven's assets.
On Tuesday, the federal court in Las Vegas issued a writ of execution requiring the U.S. Marshals Service to seize $63,720 in Righthaven assets to satisfy a judgment and costs in favor of Wayne Hoehn.
Righthaven had filed a lawsuit against Hoehn alleging copyright infringement for his unauthorized post on a sports betting website of a Las Vegas Review-Journal column — but the suit backfired on Righthaven when a federal judge dismissed it and then ordered Righthaven to pay Hoehn's attorney's fees.
Shawn Mangano of Las Vegas, an outside attorney for Righthaven, said Wednesday the company was aware of the writ.
"We're evaluating the appropriate course of action,'' Mangano said.
The options include challenging the writ in federal court in Las Vegas or at the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco, Mangano said.
If the Marshals Service and Hoehn's attorneys try to seize Righthaven's intellectual property, Righthaven will likely go to court to have the value of that property established, Mangano said.
The intellectual property includes software Righthaven uses to detect infringements, its website domain name and hundreds of copyrights Righthaven has registered.
Many of the copyrights have been the basis for the 276 lawsuits Righthaven has filed since March 2010. Of the suits, 275 claim material from the Review-Journal and the Denver Post was infringed on, while one suit involves sports betting material.
Righthaven has also registered copyrights to at least two porn movies. They are "Ebony Amateurs Vegas Edition #10" and "Ebony Princess #3."
While Righthaven has warned it could face bankruptcy if a creditor tried to seize its assets — particularly copyrights that generate lawsuit settlement revenue — Mangano said Wednesday that a bankruptcy is not imminent.
"We're not there yet,'' he said.
The $63,720 writ for Hoehn is just the beginning of Righthaven's problems arising from defendants prevailing against Righthaven in court and then winning orders requiring Righthaven to pay their legal fees.
A federal judge in Las Vegas has ordered Righthaven to pay $119,488 in legal fees and costs to prevailing defendant Thomas DiBiase and a much larger fee award is likely by the same judge, Roger Hunt, in Righthaven's failed lawsuit against the Democratic Underground.
It was in the heavily-litigated Democratic Underground case that Hunt first ruled Righthaven lacked standing to sue over R-J material because it was falsely claiming to own the copyright it was suing over.
In a domino effect, three more judges in Nevada and one in Colorado dismissed Righthaven suits, including Hoehn's, ruling the company didn't control the copyrights it claimed to own. Righthaven has also lost three lawsuits on fair use grounds.
In Denver, attorneys for another defendant who defeated Righthaven in a lawsuit over a Denver Post photo, Leland Wolf of the It Makes Sense Blog, have asked for Righthaven to pay another $33,148 in fees.
These attorneys include lawyers from Randazza Legal Group of Las Vegas, who also represent Hoehn.
On Wednesday, Senior U.S. District Judge John L. Kane in Denver reiterated that Righthaven must pay Wolf's fees — the only question is how much money Kane will award Wolf for his costs.
"Plaintiff Righthaven must reimburse defendant Leland Wolf's full costs in defending this action, including reasonable attorney fees. Despite my encouragement to negotiate an informal resolution of this question, the parties have failed to do so,'' Kane wrote in an order Wednesday setting a Nov. 10 hearing on the issue.
Additional fee awards against Righthaven are possible in several of its contested lawsuits in Nevada, Colorado and South Carolina — though Righthaven is appealing the dismissals of many of its lawsuits and the attorney's fee awards against it.

Should peoples work and copyrights be protect? Yes, but Righthaven went about it the wrong way with a bad contract with their clients.
They abused the system and now it coming back to bite them. They are also costing the taxpayers of this state money with the abuse of the legal system. Time for them to fold their tents and file for BK and settle their debts.
Hopefully a judge is going to hold them responsible for their actions and debts and not let them walk away from this mess they have created.
Steve, you could turn this into a book, a play, a movie, or maybe a whole TV series on an idea gone bad. It is one heck of a story of avarice temporarily running amok in a fit of self-righteous tone-deaf self-aggrandizement.
Of course, it being Righthaven, Crusader for Copyright Sactity, they will avoid and evade, running up everyone's costs, but it seems pretty clear that (1) the Copyright Act they claim to hold Sacred has a clause which expressly provides for attorneys fees to the prevailing party, (2) the result of not a few of Righthaven's filings is that the other parties have prevailed, (3) that others prevailing against Righthaven's claims was foreseeable when Righthaven LLC was capitalized, (4) that, since Righthaven's business was the bringing of lawsuits for Copyright infringement, attorneys fee awards were to be expected in the ordinary course and scope of its' business operations and (5) that Righthaven's capital was insufficient to provide for the debts to be incurred in the normal course and scope of its operations.
Stephens Media and Mr. Gibson Esquire need to pay for the damage they have done. Otherwise the size of the checks they will have to right will get much bigger.
It will be quite a while before the final chapter can be written since the appeals process will take time. And although I fully agree with the rulings that decided standing, I think a couple of the "fair use" decisions were just plain bad, especially the one by Judge Mahan.
But overall, I will be very happy to see the demise of Righthaven's business model.
boftx, what do you think is wrong with the fair use decision? Is it out of line with the Copyright Act or with the previous decisions construing it? If so, in what way?
So when is the sheriff going to serve the warrant and start the seizure? We should all go over there and cheer!
I disagree with the fair use decisions in that they have held that copying a work in its entirety is okay so long as it is a non-profit doing so. The Copyright Act (Title 17) actually gives examples of when such a use is allowed, mainly in an educational setting such as a class and involves the physical reproduction of a work.
There is no reason whatsoever why a website can not take a reasonable excerpt (yes, that is undefined in the act) and then link to the original source.
That being said, I think Righthaven is unethical at best and borders on immoral for how it approached these cases. I will be among the first to cheer when Righthaven is shut down.

Urban Humanitarian Projects, a New York based nonprofit organization founded by medical students from St. George's University, hosted their third annual Urban Santa Project this Christmas. Teams of students dressed as Santa and elves delivered presents to children at 19 partner charities.
Urban Humanitarian Projects (UHP) held its third annual Urban Santa Project (USP) event last week, which involved working with 19 different organizations to deliver personalized Christmas presents to over 1200 children. Urban Santa team, which consists of a Santa Clause and 3-4 elves visited almost every organization during the week of Christmas (including Christmas day) to hand deliver the presents. This year's event was summarized in a short video:
Urban Santa Project 2011 Summary from Urban Humanitarian Projects on Vimeo.
By collecting each child's name, age, and gender in advance, the team was able to choose and wrap appropriate toys for each child. This year's list of partners included Covenant House, Providence House, Harlem United, Yele Haiti, Operation Haiti Recovery, Palladia Inc, Mary Haven: Center of Hope, Lincoln Hospital, Trinitas Regional Medical Center, and several others.
Urban Santa Project 2011 had 7 different Santas and over 25 elves who helped purchase, wrap, and deliver the presents. In the weeks prior to Christmas, UHP team contacted various charitable organizations who serve underprivileged children and complied a list of all over 1200 children. A team of volunteer elves then purchased age and gender appropriate toys for the children. The toys were wrapped and labeled with the children's name at two Urban Santa workshops, one in New York and the other in New Jersey. Space for wrapping was donated by one of UHP's advisory board members, Dr. Nilay Shah in New York, and by Homewood Suites in New Jersey.
"Seeing the expression on the face of a child's face when he or she sees Santa walk through the door is simply priceless," said Neha Rana, UHP's project coordinator who helped organize this year's event.
This year's event was funded mostly by students and faculty at St. George's University, with a major donation from the school's chancellor, Dr. Charles Modica.
Many of the partners for this year's event were from New York and New Jersey. However, UHP was also able to reach out to children at 5 different orphanages in Haiti through two new partners, Operation Haiti Recovery and Yele Haiti Foundation. Gifts to the children in Haiti were shipped via Amerijet International, who generously sponsored all shipping costs.
Urban Santa Project was founded in 2009 with just 23 children at Covenant House in New York. This was followed by the 2010 event that involved approximately 300 gifts from five organizations in New York and New Jersey. UHP's event is unique in the sense that it involves a Santa Clause and group of elves visiting the children to hand deliver the presents. This is a very magical experience for the children, who enjoy a visit from Santa and his elves.
Urban Humanitarian Projects (UHP) is a student-run non-profit 501(c)3 charitable organization founded by St. George's University medical students (Grenada, West Indies) completing their medical training in New York City. UHP's mission - to improve the education, healthcare, and quality of life of the underprivileged – is supported by working with established charities throughout the United States and abroad to make a positive impact in the lives of disadvantaged children and adults. UHP past projects include the annual Urban Santa Project - Christmas day gift delivery, GURUS High School Mentorship Project, and a semi-annual video game tournament fundraiser event which raised over $100,000 for humanitarian projects worldwide.

moxie \MOK-see\
, noun:
1. Vigor; verve; pep.
2. Courage and aggressiveness.
3. Skill; know-how.
I'm just wondering what it's like to be a young, attractive, female FBI agent who's smarter and got more moxie than most of the men around her.
-- Barry Eisler, Inside Out
"You've got moxie, dear," she said to Delores in a thin voice.
-- Betsy Carter, Swim To Me
Moxie enters common speech from the 1908 Moxie, a trademark name registered 1924 for a bitter non-alcoholic beverage; it was used as far back as 1876 as the name of a patent medicine advertised to "build up your nerve," and it is perhaps ultimately from a New England tribal word.

text: By: jamie June 29, 2009 Larisa has uncovered some very disturbing posts by the right wing crazies: I was going to add this as an update to my earlier post, but thought it deserved its own post. Apparently, some glue-sniffing types are hoping that our own military will be inspired by the Honduras coup to overthrow our own president in order to save democracy. I kid you not. I have been reading the comments at several blogs and they are mind-blowing. This is the exact kind of stuff you would expect to hear in some government report. I don't know what we would call that report. Maybe something about right wing extremists? Exit question. What would happen if we had our own military try to overthrow a President as popular as Obama? I think we can pretty much imagine it. We would end up with a civil war in this nation. So basically these wingers are advocating for the destruction of the United States of America. Maybe we should keep Gitmo open, just for them. jamie's blog

Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books is a memoir by Johns Hopkins literature professor Azar Nafisi, who returned to her native Iran after a long education abroad and remained there for 18 years before leaving 1997 for the United States. In 1995, after resigning from her job as a professor at a university in Tehran due to repressive policies, Nafisi invited seven of her best female students to attend a weekly study of great Western literature in her home. Since the books they read were officially banned by the government, the women were forced to meet in secret. They began to use the meetings as a springboard for debating the social, cultural, and political realities of living under strict Islamic rule but always returning to the books as the primary focus. Woven through her story are the books she has taught along the way, among them works by Nabokov, Fitzgerald, James, and Austen.

The first images of an upward surge of the Sun's gases into quiescent coronal loops have been identified by an international team of scientists. The discovery is one more step towards understanding the origins of extreme space storms, which can destroy satellite communications and damage power grids on Earth. The study published by University of Cambridge scientists working with colleagues in India and the USA is the first to visualise the movement of gases at one million degrees in coronal loops - solar structures that are rooted at both ends and extend out from active regions of the Sun. Active regions are the 'cradle' for explosive energy releases such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The observation will help scientists understand what is considered to be one of the most challenging issues in astrophysics - how solar structures are heated and maintained in the upper solar atmosphere. Extreme solar activity can lead to severe space storms that interfere with satellite communications and damage electric power transmission grids on Earth. Solar activity is cyclical, with the next maximum forecast to occur around May 2013, and severe space weather is now listed very high on the UK's 2012 National Risk Register of Civil Emergencies. Based on observations from the Hinode satellite (a joint Japanese, NASA, European Space Agency and UK project), the new findings provide the first evidence of plasma upflows travelling at around 20 km per second in the one million degree active region loops. The scientists suggest that the upflow of gases is probably the result of "impulsive heating" close to the footpoint regions of the loops. "Active regions are now occurring frequently across the Sun. We have a really great opportunity to study them with solar spacecraft, such as Hinode and the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)," said co-author Dr Helen Mason from the University of Cambridge's Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics. "Probing the heating of the Sun's active region loops can help us to better understand the physical mechanisms for more energetic events which can impinge on the Earth's environment." Previous ultraviolet images of the Sun taken by NASA's SDO have shown large loops of hot gas guided by the Sun's magnetic field and rooted near sunspots. Despite such remarkable developments in the observations and theory of active regions over the past few decades, the question remained as to how solar plasma is heated and rises up into the loops in the first place. Now, the new research provides the first visualisation of plasma flow by showing the movement of gases within the loop as 'blueshifts' in diagnostic images using the extreme ultraviolet imaging spectrometer (EIS) on the Hinode satellite. Spectral lines produced by the spectrometer act like 'fingerprints' or the 'bar code' in a supermarket - the lines identify the multitude of elements and ions within the loop and shifts in the position of the lines provide information on the motion of the plasma. Although the Sun is composed mainly of hydrogen and helium, there are also other trace elements, such as oxygen and iron, in the hot ionised gas within the loops. The scientists suggest that the gas movement is caused by a process of "chromospheric evaporation" in which "impulsive heating" on a small scale can result in the heating of the solar active regions but on a larger scale can lead to huge explosions, such as solar flares or coronal mass ejections. "It is believed that magnetic energy builds up in an active region as the magnetic field becomes distorted, for example by motions below the surface of the Sun dragging the magnetic fields around," explained Mason, whose research is partially funded by the UK's Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC). "Sometimes magnetic flux can emerge or submerge and affect the overlying magnetic field. We believe that solar plasma surges upwards when impulsive heating results from magnetic reconnection which occurs either in the loops or close to the Sun's surface. These disruptions are sometimes relatively gentle but can also be catastrophic." Commenting on the newly published study, Professor Richard Harrison MBE, Head of Space Physics and Chief Scientist at the STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, said: "The Sun governs the environment in which we live and it is the so-called solar active regions that drive extreme conditions leading to the explosive flares and the huge eruptions; understanding these active regions is absolutely critical for the study of what we now call space weather. The work published by in this paper is a key element of that work, applying innovative analyses to the observations from the UK-led Hinode/EIS instrument." The researchers hope that a better understanding of active regions might one day help scientists to identify the magnetic field structures that lead to explosive solar energy releases and use this as a means for predicting when such events will occur. The study is published in Astrophysical Journal Letters. University of Cambridge Solar Science News at SpaceDaily

Dirt Rag Magazine wins 2012 Aveda Environmental Award
Thanks in part to a recent switch to 90 percent recycled paper, Dirt Rag Magazine was awarded first place in a contest of magazine publishers for using environmentally responsible paper and production practices.
The 2012 Aveda Environmental Award, presented by Green America's Better Paper Project, recognizes environmental leadership and achievement. Pittsburgh-based Dirt Rag was chosen because of its switch to new paper and printer — funded through a partnership with Clif Bar — as well as its innovative ways to encourage the staff to bike to work and its commitment to cycling advocacy. Dirt Rag has been leading the way in independent coverage of mountain biking since 1989.
"Because our staff and readers are avid mountain bikers and spend a lot of time outdoors, we treasure the environment and do what we can to minimize our footprint. As a natural extension of this, we are proud to use the new paper," said Dirt Rag's publisher, Maurice Tierney. "It's as simple as walking the walk."
Greenability, Kansas City's green living magazine, was the runner up; and GRIT, a rural lifestyle magazine, was the third finalist.
How much of a difference would it make if more publications followed Dirt Rag's lead? If the entire North American magazine industry included a minimum of 30 percent post-consumer recycled paper in their publications, it would save approximately:
- 1.5 million tons of wood, or the equivalent of 10 million trees;
- 6.6 million BTU's of energy, or the equivalent of heating 73,000 homes;
- 1.8 billion pounds of CO2 emissions, or the equivalent of taking 160,000 cars off the road;
- 7 billion gallons of wastewater, or the equivalent of 5,000 swimming pools;
- And 780 million pounds of solid waste, or the equivalent to 28,000 garbage trucks.
Dirt Rag's new paper, produced by FutureMark Paper Company of Illinois, is guaranteed greater than 90 percent recycled with 30 percent post-consumer waste, and is Forest Stewardship Council Certified and Process Chlorine-Free. To go with the new paper, Dirt Rag has also transitioned to a new printer, Schumann, a family-owned company from Wisconsin that specializes in one or two-publication companies. The new paper and printer made their debut in Issue #158 of Dirt Rag and Issue #14 of its sister magazine, Bicycle Times. Bicycle Times covers transportation and recreational cycling and is published six times a year.
These big changes would not have been possible without the help of Clif Bar. Through its generosity, it provided the financial means to make the switch possible.

About Aveda: Empowered by its mission, Aveda believes that authentic beauty is one that works in harmony with the greater web of life and leads its business through environmental sustainability. For this reason, Aveda partnered with Green America in 2005 to found the Aveda Environmental Awards for Magazines. Akin to Aveda's corporate leadership in environmental and social sustainability, this award recognizes the achievements of magazines committed to environmental leadership in an industry where less than two percent of all magazines contain any recycled content. For more information on Aveda's mission and guiding principles visit http://aveda.aveda.com/aboutaveda/guiding_principles.asp.
About Green America and the Better Paper Project: Green America is the nation's leading green economy organization. Founded in 1982, Green America (formerly Co-op America) provides the economic strategies, organizing power and practical tools for businesses and individuals to solve today's social and environmental problems. Green America's green economy programs encourage corporate responsibility, tackle climate change, build fair trading systems, advance healthy, local communities, and provide green purchasing and investing information for families and businesses. Green America's Better Paper Project is creating a greener magazine industry in the US and has assisted over 150 publishers in selecting environmentally responsible papers for their magazines.

attendees to meet during the main part of the conference, share their ideas,
and provide concrete ways to move forward with this line of research. We are calling it an "Ideathon" because we want to get lots of ideas on the role HCI researchers can play in preventing, de-escalating, and recovering from armed conflict.
The meeting will be on Wednesday, May 1st, and 9am in room 362/363.

HCI for Peace Workshop at CHI 2012
We had a wonderful workshop on Saturday at the CHI conference. The papers presented at the workshop included a wide range of work, from calming technologies aiming at self-awareness and self-regulation, to the visualization of data (from detecting land mines to see patterns behind human behavior), to the gathering of data and media from individuals, with the challenges of curation, and finding common narratives that can lead to peace. We also discussed how patterns in the way people experience and share information on conflict can lead to more conflict or to peace. Themes that emerged for further discussion included the high complexity of the challenges, the importance of context and different viewpoints, and the role of design.
We also had a chance to explore issues of professional ethics, making (non-violent) conflict constructive, and tensions with the use of the word "peace". In particular, we agreed that the efforts we discussed were directed at preventing, de-escalating, recovering, and minimizing the damage from armed conflicts.

Interview with Lisa Nathan
Lisa Nathan is a faculty member at SLAIS, the iSchool at the University of British Columbia. Through a range of projects she investigates: 1) the design of information systems that address societal challenges, specifically those that are ethically charged and impact multiple generations (e.g., environmental degradation, war, colonialism) and 2) creative information practices that influence how these systems are appropriated over time. She is a founding member of the Voices from the Rwanda Tribunal project hosted by the University of Washington. The project's website provides citizens around the world with various means to access and use video interviews with personnel from the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (e.g., judges, defense lawyers, translators, prosecutors). The research team is building design theory and method to inform the development of the multi-lifespan information system design research initiative.
HCI for Peace interviewed Lisa about her work with the Voices from the Rwanda Tribunal project.
Lisa Nathan: A brief caveat before I dive into answering the questions - although the responses are mine, my experience with this project is strongly shaped by the numerous individuals I have had the honor of working with over the past few years. In particular, discussions with Batya Friedman (project PI), Nell Grey, Milli Lake, Bob Utter and Betty Utter continue to shape how I think about the project.
HCI for Peace: Can you briefly explain the concept of multi-lifespan information systems and how it may apply to post-conflict reconciliation?
Lisa Nathan: For me, the question motivating multi-lifespan information system design is simple - how can we design information systems to help us address complex societal challenges that influence many generations? For example, how might we design an information system to help recover from genocide or environmental degradation or colonization? Rather than thinking in the short term - designing an information system to meet the needs of today - the multi-lifespan information system approach is focused on longer-term goals. In terms of post-conflict reconciliation, the multi-lifespan design approach recognizes that reconciliation after horrific conflict will likely take many generations to achieve. The approach positions designers to investigate how an information system might scaffold this multi-year process. Although the concept is simple, implementation is complex and quite frankly, daunting.
HCI for Peace: How did you get involved in the project with the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda?
Lisa Nathan: At the time I was a doctoral student working with Professor Batya Friedman at the University of Washington. We attended a talk by Angeline Djampou, the Director of LIbraries for the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR). After the talk we met with Ms. Djampou to discuss with her the multi-lifespan information system design approach, which at the time was a nascent concept. There was a great deal of synergy throughout the conversation. She invited us to visit the ICTR in Tanzania to speak with administrative officials about developing a multi-lifespan information system associated with the work of the ICTR. We made the trip a few months later and officials were very receptive to the idea. We were invited to return a few months later to start a project. Once we were back in Seattle we invited a range of people involved in information system design, international justice, international criminal law, and film to work with us on crafting the project. Over many long discussions and challenging debates, the Voices from the Rwanda Tribunal project began to take shape. We were given permission from the ICTR to recruit tribunal personnel for video interviews. During the interviews judges, defense lawyers, interpreters, prosecutors shared compelling reflections concerning the role of justice in the process of reconciliation. There were no restrictions in terms of interview questions and ICTR administration did not ask to review the material we collected. Interviewees were provided the opportunity to review his or her video interview, but only one person asked to have an interview sealed until the ICTR closes. That was the beginning of the project. Although an incredible amount of work has gone into the project over the past few years, it is still just getting underway.
HCI for Peace: What is one of the greatest challenges in the project?
Lisa Nathan: The multi-lifespan information system design approach is incredibly ambitious. It is much easier to critique than it is to feel that you have made progress because we are building a system to address a complex, shifting issue. Clearly this challenge is tied to what you use for metrics of success. Most projects in our field are in the 2-5 year range and it is a bit easier to figure out whether they were successful or not. Similarly, funding opportunities and other standard research components are based on projects with a much shorter time frame.
HCI for Peace: What are your hopes for the system you built?
Lisa Nathan: It is critical to realize that although there are strong technical components, at its heart this is a deeply human endeavor, it depends a lot on things like interpersonal relationships, goodwill, trust, and respect. I see those involved as stewards of the system, constantly evaluating and trying to improve the system (technical aspects, policies, protocols, etc.).One of my deepest wishes is that more Rwandans become actively involved in the project. I am not referring just to Rwandans using the material within the system to support local initiatives -- which is happening and is fantastic --but Rwandans becoming active stewards, helping to envision future adaptations of the Voices from the Rwandan Tribunal information system.

Coordinates: 51°31′12.53″N 0°8′43.7″W / 51.5201472°N 0.145472°W The IBC Recording Studios (IBC: International Broadcasting Company) were recording studios located at 35 Portland Place, London, England. After the Second World War it was the address of the leading independent studio in London and the British Isles. In the 1960/70s the studios become internationally famous after being used by some of the biggest recording artists in the world.
In the late 1970s, Chas Chandler bought the studios and renamed them Portland Recording Studios. The address was also home to George Peckham's cutting rooms (Porky Prime Cuts) and Radiotracks Studios, a company specialising in recording and producing radio commercials. It was later bought by Don Arden and was run by his son David Arden.
In its long history, and especially in its heyday as IBC, the studios manufactured much of their own equipment under the direction of Denis King. The Quadrophonic remix desk designed in the early 70s was still in use in the late 80s by Radiotracks, though in a different building. The desk had been built to take advantage of the Quadrophonic technology that had been pioneered for music, though this never became popular and the desk was never used for that purpose in its music days. Ironically, the quadrophonic system on the desk was put to good use for mixing soundtracks for large events at the end of its life, including a massive celebration of 800 years of the Lord Mayor's of London at the Guildhall. Although all the large desks have been dismantled, one smaller desk, a nine-into-three desk used for locations recording still exists and is in private hands. The small, fully transistorised desk, built around 1958, was used to record "My Old Man's a Dustman" by Lonnie Donegan in 1960.
The Bee Gees also recorded their albums in IBC Studios, the albums were Bee Gees' 1st, Horizontal, Idea, Odessa, Cucumber Castle, 2 Years On, Trafalgar, To Whom It May Concern and Mr. Natural (other songs)

Do you need nutritional supplements?
Vitamins are good for you, but relying on nutritional supplements can actually be bad for your health. The Expert studies have shown that high doses of vitamin supplements including iron, magnesium and vitamin B6 raise the death rate of older women, while taking vitamin E canincrease men's risk of prostate cancer.
If you are advised that you need to supplement your diet with vitamin tablets you should take a compound i.e. the vitamin B complex rather than B6 on its own, except when medical advice is given. While certain people may be required to take vitamins (those with low levels of vitamin D, for example, or vegans who may be deficient in vitamin B12), for most people a better approach is to opt for a varied diet full of fish, meat, fruit and vegetables which will give you all the nutrients you need
See https://www.expertsforlife.com/ebooks/super_diet_and_eating
Five portions of fruit and vegetables a day, The Myth.
In the UK you are advised that it is important to eat at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day, in the US up to 9, with the Greek and Germans having a Pyramid with fruit on the bottom level and junk food on the top. There is no scientific evidence for 5 or 7 or 9, it is just a very, very successful advertising campaign organised by interested parties (famers, transport, etc.) and taken up by organisations such as the Kidney Cancer Association and the WHO (World Health Organisation).
Drinking too much water
We are all familiar with the advice to drink two litres of water a day, recent research has shown that there is little scientific evidence to supp this recommendation and that drinking excessive amounts of water can actually be dangerous by lowering the concentration of salt in your blood and causing a swelling of the brain. Sensible drinking of fluids is advisable whether it is water or other liquids. Remember that alcohol and caffeine can cause de-hydration which is the opposite effect of what you want.
Check For Heart Problems
For years the problem of diagnosing a potential future heart attack in women has gone undiagnosed, now, a new test which locates the protein "troponin" in the blood after it has seeped from a damaged heart muscle after a heart attack is available.
Cardiovascular scientists at the University of Edinburgh discovered that the tell tale signs of a past heart attack were less visible in women than men by almost 50%. While the new test helps diagnose the past event in women it makes no difference to men.
Bowel Cancer Screening Tests
Dr Katie Robb from the University of Glasgow said: "The overwhelmingly positive response in our study suggests that people who are invited to have the new test from March this year are likely to have a similarly favorable experience."
The test will become part of a UK wide screening for all people over 55 following the initial trials in which 98% of patients stated they were pleased to have had the inspection which involves a camera called a flexible Sigmidoscope being inserted into the bowel allowing doctors to remove polyps and growths before they become cancerous. The screening was monitored by Cancer Research UK.

It seems like a bunch of good players who just met and are playing a pick up game.
The Badgers are a pretty good team, but with the talent IU has there is no way they should lose to them, and they especially shouldn't have lost to UConn. I think DJ is the only player on the team that boxes out. And I wouldn't be upset if fat boy didn't play another game the rest of the season. Man he is lazy.
It does seem that way. It's not much different from the Mike Davis days as far as the offense goes. The results are different in the win column now thanks to Eric Gordon's arrival and DJ White's "coming of age". I do give Sampson credit for getting DJ White to man up this season though. They are still a "playground" team for the most part.
DeAndre Thomas has been pathetic, no argument here on that one. The Hoosiers have no inside presence besides DJ. Mike White and DeAndre Thomas just aren't cutting it and Stemler is more of a perimeter player.

BioShock Infinite's ending is unlike anything portrayed in a video game before, designer Ken Levine said. In an interview with Outside Xbox (via Eurogamer) the Irrational Games co-founder said he has is uncertain of how players will react.
"The end of the game, I can't tell whether people will like it or not like it," Levine said. "I can say it's something we're incredibly proud of. It's like nothing you've actually experienced in a video game before. It's unique and quite particular to this world, these characters and this franchise."
The original BioShock had a significant twist at the end of its second act, though after the big reveal many felt it went downhill. Levine said the city of Columbia and its complicated relationship with mysterious co-star Elizabeth will keep players guessing long after Rapture began to peter out.
"You had a situation there where you had this amazing character and once he's gone the story loses some of its steam," he said. "That is something we took to heart in this game."
You'll have to play the game when it releases on March 26 to see the ending for yourself, but you can check out our 17 things you need to know about BioShock Infinite and learn more about its weird world until then.

Background: Although ultimately a victor in World Wars I and II, France suffered extensive losses in its empire, wealth, manpower, and rank as a dominant nation-state. Nevertheless, France today is one of the most modern countries in the world and is a leader among European nations. Since 1958, it has constructed a presidential democracy resistant to the instabilities experienced in earlier parliamentary democracies. In recent years, its reconciliation and cooperation with Germany have proved central to the economic integration of Europe, including the introduction of a common exchange currency, the euro, in January 1999. At present, France is at the forefront of efforts to develop the EU's military capabilities to supplement progress toward an EU foreign policy.

ALVEAR, MARCELA; BETANCUR, JULIO and FRANCO-ROSSELLI, PILAR. Floristic diversity and structure of Andean forests remnants near to Los Nevados National Park, Central Colombian Andes. Caldasia [online]. 2010, vol.32, n.1, pp. 39-63. ISSN 0366-5232.
The diversity, structure, and floristic composition of the Andean forests remnants at Torre Cuatro Reserve were characterized. This reserve is part of the buffer zone of Los Nevados National Park, Central Cordillera of the Andes in Colombia. The forest remnants were grouped into three zones according to the altitude: low (between 2650 and 2900 m), medium (between 3000 and 3300 m), and high (between 3400 and 3750 m). In each zone, 0.1 ha was sampled and all individuals with DBH = 2.5 cm were surveyed. The species richness found in the zones (62 in low, 69 in medium, 48 in high) was higher compared to that found in other forests with similar altitudes. In all zones the largest proportion of individuals had heights less than 7.2 m. Floristic composition and physiognomy of the zones shows that the forest of low and middle zones correspond to those described as the characteristic Andean forest, while the high zone corresponds to the high Andean forest. In all areas the most ecologically important families were Melastomataceae and Asteraceae, but some other families were also important, such as Cunoniaceae in the low zone, Betulaceae in the middle and Ericaceae in the high zone. In all altitudes a few species were most ecologically significant in the community (IVI); in the medium and low zones only five species accumulated approximately 30% of the IVI, while in the high zone five species accumulated 47%. The species with the highest IVI were Weinmannia pubescens (32.7) in the low zone, Alnus acuminata (29.9) in the medium zone and Tibouchina andreana (33.4) in the high zone.

Genetically Modified Crops Giant Monsanto faces anti-trust litigation
For 14 years, agri-giant Monsanto has led the market they essentially created for genetically-modified seeds. The whole genetically modified crops issue is volatile and, as part of unusual anti-trust litigation, critics from farmers to politicians will be able to voice their opinions in public meetings held by the U.S. Justice Department. The first of these is Friday, March 20 in Iowa with feature speaker Attorney General Eric Holder.
In January, the U.S. Justice Department began antitrust investigations on Monsanto's genetically modified, herbicide-immune soybean. The plant is grown throughout the U.S. and represents about 90% of domestically grown soybeans. Since genetically modified crops are patented, Monsanto profits either from licensing or pricing on almost every soybean grown in the U.S.
The situation has raised the ire of many farmers and seed companies. In their view, Monsanto is limiting competition. For some environmentalists, the issue is the potential harmful effect genetically modified crops can have on animal life as well as other crops.
Whether the critics are farmers, politicians, activists, or competitors, they will be able to air their complaints what the Justice Department's antitrust division is calling 'workshops' held jointly with the Department of Agriculture.
