Staff Report
Executive Director Skeel communicated that SPJ continues to work in partnership with many organizations and he also provided an overview of SPJs training for the year.
Skeel reported that the second floor of the headquarters building is being rented by a company called Avencos and that will generate $54,000 in year one to be split between SPJ and the SDX Foundation. The expenses of the build-out and the increased utilities will also be shared between the two organizations.
In addition, Skeel informed the board that an online platform has been selected for SPJs new election system.
He reported that the first dues increase since 2002 was implemented seamlessly.
NAHJ (National Association of Hispanic Journalists) continues to be a client of SPJs for back-end services such as bookkeeping and membership services.
The membership database upgrade will be completed by the end of May.
Convention Report
Vachon provided the convention schedule for planning purposes. She reminded the board that the registration fee did not increase for 2012.
Based on the boards recommendation to research Opryland for the 2014 convention site, the staff conducted a site visit at Opryland and feel confident in recommending the Nashville hotel to the board for 2014.
Upon proper motion and second by Albarado and Carnicelli, respectively, the board approved the 2014 convention to be held at Opryland.
Nominations Report
Nomination chair Hagit Limor reports that David Cuillier plans to run for President-elect and Dana Neuts has indicated she will be running for Secretary-Treasurer. Limor is working through the other open board positions and finding qualified members for all the open slots.
Action/Discussion Items
International Members
A discussion ensued about why international members join, what services/benefits are of interest to them and whether or not we should work to seek out international members or if we should continue to have them just come to us. Does having more international members promote the Code of Ethics?
The discussion turned to other related items such as representation on the board, regions and voting. Other areas mentioned were Legal Defense Fund grants and the board expressed the opinion that the fund should be global.
Finally, the awards programs were discussed in terms of the ability and the logistics of accepting international journalists award entries.
Journalists Toolbox e-book Proposal
The board reviewed a proposal from Journalist Toolbox creator and author Mike Reilly. The proposal outlined a plan to create an e-book based on the Journalists Toolbox content. The group had questions, directed Skeel to gather more information and the board will review it again at an upcoming virtual meeting.
Member Elections Update/Mock Elections
A mock election took place for the board to allow them to experience the voting platform. Comments from the board were all positive. The platform will cost $2,500/year and can be used for up to three elections/surveys each year.
The board reviewed the campaign guidelines which were modified for one member, one vote.
Upon proper motion and second by Bartlett and Carnicelli, respectively, the board approved the revised campaign guidelines with a friendly amendment of adding:
6. No one may use the membership database for political purposes.
The revised election guidelines are Appendix A of the minutes.
Campus Chapter Requirements
The current requirements for campus chapters includes a minimum of three educators whose principal teaching duties are in the field of journalism and who also must be members of SPJ. There is a proposal to change three educators to one educator with one back-up due to the fact that getting three involved educators, at one time, can be difficult.
Upon proper motion and second by Pilcher and Daniels, respectively, the board approved the elimination of paragraph 9 from the Expansion Policy Guidelines for Student Chapters and revised wording for paragraph 7 of the Guidelines which will now read:
Paragraph 7. Schools seeking a charter will have one confirmed faculty adviser who teaches or works in the field of journalism and one back-up adviser also teaching or working in the field of journalism, in the event the primary adviser takes a leave of absence, changes jobs, or has other conflicting issues that no longer allows him or her to serve. The primary adviser must by an active member of SPJ; should the back-up adviser need to step into the primary adviser position, he/she would be required to join SPJ within an appropriate time frame not to exceed 30 days from acceptance of that position.
The revised campus chapter guidelines are Appendix B of the minutes.
New Business: Newsroom Memberships
President Ensslin initiated a conversation with the board about memberships for newsrooms. He explained that he would like to explore the possibility of creating a newsroom membership, possibly similar to the current Collegiate Institutional memberships. The objective is to get into the culture of newsrooms. The benefits of such a membership need to be developed and Ensslin directed staff to develop a plan.
Upon proper motion and second by Albarado and Grudo, respectively, the board directs staff to develop a concrete proposal for newsroom memberships for the board to review. The plan should include an assessment tool. In addition, the current Collegiate Institutional membership should be reviewed and updated.
New Business: Multi-State Sunshine Summit Proposal
Board member Taylor Mirfendereski shared with the group the success of the Ohio Sunshine Summit which involved the Ohio University campus chapters of SPJ and RTDNA conducting a one-day event centered on access to public records and spaces across Ohios higher education system.
Mirfendereski proposed that SPJ facilitate Student Sunshine Summit Week with events across the country as an official SPJ program for the 2012-13 school year.
Old Business
Daniels inquired about the new pass/fail document that replaces the star system. It was explained that the new document has been created.
Regional directors expressed concern that the waiver for attendance at regional conferences and the national convention, that is part of the annual report, is not communicated well to chapter leaders. The directors requested a form to be developed as well as an FAQ.
An update on the strategic plan was requested. Ensslin reported that the Executive Committee is going through the strategic plan section-by-section to evaluate and update it.
It was requested that the deadline for annual reports remain at May 1 and June 1 in the future.
SDX Foundation President Report
President Geimann reported that the Foundation accounts have increased to $11.8 million.
He noted the change in headquarters staffing for the Foundation as Chris Vachon will serve as the Associate Executive Director for the Foundation focusing on indentifying and cultivating grant and partnership opportunities as well as our continued efforts to individual donors.
Vachon reminded board members about the importance of board giving to the Foundation and all who have not made a donation in the past year have been sent a friendly reminder.
Upon proper motion and second by Meyers and Bartlett, respectively, the board voted to adjourn at 5:18 p.m.
SPJ Campaign Guidelines
These election campaign guidelines should be followed by all candidates for the SPJ national board of directors. Candidates with questions should the SPJ Nominations Committee Chairman or the Executive Director.
1. There will be no candidate speeches during regional meetings, other than those given by candidates for regional director.
2. Candidate speeches will be no more than three minutes in duration and will be delivered during the opening business meeting. Speeches will be streamed live and available on the election home page as soon as possible after they are delivered.
3. No signs may be posted in the hotel or convention site.
4. Headquarters staff will format and send members emails three times during the election cycle for the candidates. Headquarters staff will send emails according to the following timeline:
The same week candidate profiles are published in Quill magazine. Candidates should submit this email no later than two weeks before Quill is published.
Sometime during the election cycle after profiles are published in Quill, but earlier than four weeks before convention. Staff will have one week to format and send these emails.
One week before the election. This email should be submitted no later than two weeks before the opening business session.
5. Current national SPJ board members should remain neutral in all elections.
6. No one may use the membership database for political purposes.

All candidates will receive information about board and committee meetings before the convention. Candidates are encouraged to attend board and committee meetings that are applicable to their prospective position.
Candidates may purchase advertising space in Quill, the convention program or the convention newspaper at rates discounted 50 percent off the current rate card. Contact SPJ Executive Director (or designee) for information.
The Society of Professional Journalists is a professional organization. It is not honorary in nature, nor is it any longer a fraternity.
In function and membership requirements it is concerned only with the field of journalism and the free flow of information to the public at large.
SPJs campus chapter expansion policy establishes requirements which embrace the highest standards of professionalism. The campus chapter encourages and assists members in carrying out common objectives. It is through the chapter that individual members join in freedom of the press issues, learn of ethical problems, and professional standards and enjoy fellowship of common purpose.
Before the Societys board of directors will consider chartering a new campus chapter of the Society, several requirements must be met and several steps taken.
Who Can Form A Chapter?
If you and other journalists in your school or metropolitan area are interested in starting a new campus chapter of the Society, under no circumstances should you take any steps or actions as a chapter of the Society until you have notified SPJs national headquarters and your appropriate regional director of your interest. The national office will provide you with the regional directors name, address, and telephone number.
The national office and your regional director will be of invaluable assistance as you plan from the start. You must keep them closely informed of your activities.
Before you act at all as a chapter, you will have to determine whether your group meets the requirements of a provisional SPJ chapter.
Under SPJs bylaws, a group or organization of students may be granted a charter by the board of directors as a campus chapter upon presentation of a formal petition and completion of the requirements of this expansion policy.
Charters to campus and satellite chapters are granted by majority vote of the board of directors or by majority vote of the delegates to a national convention.
Campus chapters may be established at two-year or four-year universities or colleges that have a school or department of journalism or that offer courses in journalism. At least ten students expressing a serious interest in journalism are required to start a campus chapter.
Schools seeking a charter will have one confirmed faculty adviser who teaches in the field of journalism and one back-up adviser also teaching in the field of journalism, in the event the primary adviser takes a leave of absence, changes jobs, or has other conflicting issues that no longer allows him or her to serve. The primary adviser must by an active member of SPJ; should the back-up adviser need to step into the primary adviser position, he/she would be required to join SPJ within an appropriate time frame not to exceed 30 days from acceptance of that position.

The forum for Moroccan Arabic, Moroccan Darija, Morocco and the Maghreb - Le forum de l'arabe marocain, de la darija marocaine, du Maroc et du Maghreb
You are not logged in.
Pages: 1
I am very curious... What does everyone think about the events of February 20th in Morocco? How do you all feel about the wave of revolutions through North Africa and the Middle East coming to Morocco?
well, I went out there downtown casablanca on the 26. it was a sunday and there was a crowd of about couple of thousands downtown. it was peacefull, plenty of cops and not one altercation between the 2 sides. it was a beautiful site. unfortunatly it was not the case in other cities. these guys were asking for an independent justice system, a "real" constitutional monarchy, (more) political freedom and the instauration of the amazigh langage along side of arabic as the official language of morocco.........
I'm worried, I just read that another demonstration is going on right now in morocco and that a lot of people have been hurt. Living in Sweden but having 50% of my family down there living in Rabat, I'm afraid that things well get out of hand just like in the other northern african countries. Of course I want a better life for the people there, but change takes time unfortunatly if the ones in power want to stay in power, and if it's a violent process it's even worse.
I truly dont think we should worry about it but be very happy about what is actually happening in Morocco. we were the first ones to complain about the low level of education and political implication of the youth in Morocco. see what is happening: the political conscience is emerging and thts a great thing intellectually speaking, it just proves tht the Moroccan people is so mature and feels strong enough to revendicate some more rights. I dont know if it wil lead to a real revolution in Morocco, i dont think its actually the aim of it but of course...every change (especially POLITICAL change) is to be made in blood. History showed it to us too many times unfortunately.... lets hope tht the king will be intelligent enough to avoid it. he has everything to win to keep on being peaceful if he wants to enter the economical union with Europe...he is on the verge to enter it by the way. strategically he is not supposed to do anything against those demonstrations.... if he is intelligent of course and if he trusts in his watan.
So do i.
very interesting topic. @Dafir and Paperbird what is your reason to be against the movement? just to have another perspective

More details on the new Kenny Chesney album have hit the web. The new collection, Life on a Rock, features Willie Nelson on "Coconut Tree" and The Wailers on a song called "Spread the Love."
Kenny says Nelson "sang on 'Lucky Old Sun' with me, and I got to produce his Moment of Forever, which is one the things I'm proudest of in my career. I wanted to do something different with him this time."
The Wailers, Kenny says, "came and played the CMA Awards with me one year, but we never went into the studio! And I really wanted to have that experience with Family Man and those guys, to go to Jamaica and make music and even write with them."
Life on a Rock hits stores April 30th. Kenny's next gig is Thursday in Lafayette, Louisiana, then he'll perform on the 48th annual ACM Awards, which air live from Las Vegas next Sunday at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.

President Bush Signs Myanmar Gemstone Ban
The U.S. ban against the importation of rubies and jade from Mynanmar is now official. President Bush signed legislation Tuesday hoping to send a strong message to Myanmar's brutal ruling regime. While many jewelry companies including Tiffany & Co., Cartier and Bulgari already have had bans in place for a while, this bill makes it official. The U.S. government was particularly motivated to move after military junta's reaction to the cyclone that hit the country in May. The regime was slow to accept help and and the country is still in recovery from that devastating event. First lady Laura Bush has spoken out on the issue of a ban against rubies from Myanmar before and she accompanied her husband in the Oval Office as he signed the bills, which extend and harden sanctions Congress first passed in 2003.
Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, produces some of the world's most beautiful rubies. The rubies from the Mogok region have a deep translucent color often described as pigeon's blood. As the AP article notes, many stones are currently being laundered through nearby countries such as Thailand to get around sanctions. Myanmar also does a brisk business in jade and jadeite which is continuing to be bought merchants coming from China and Hong Kong who purchase the stones in state-run auctions held periodically.

Innovation, economic growth and climate change are just a few of the challenges and opportunities that face the U.S. They are also firmly linked to science. For example, research findings provide a basis for understanding how to respond to climate change, and technological progress fuels economic growth. Science is a vital to many government policies, and thus Scientific American has joined a swelling chorus of voices and partnered with ScienceDebate.org, a grassroots organization. We call for the two main presidential candidates—Pres. Barack Obama and former Gov. Mitt Romney to address science and technology policy during the 2012 campaign.
ScienceDebate.org sent 14 questions to the presidential candidates in late July and awaits their responses. In addition, we've posed eight of the 14 questions to influential members of Congress, chosen because they lead their parties or congressional committees in charge of science and technology-related policy.
The Scientific American editors will publish and grade the presidential candidates' responses in the magazine's November issue. Congress's replies will be available online, where readers are welcome to challenge our grade and offer their own thoughts.
For a detailed look at each of the questions, see our ongoing series listed below and weigh in with your comments. A new question will appear weekly on Fridays. The individual posts follow (list will be updated):

Grab a Button!
Product 185/188
Amanda Givens is careful how she uses her powers. She doesnt want the people of Canaan, Connecticut, to know they have a witch among them...even a good, white witch. For years, shes lived quietly in a remote cabin in the woods with Amadeus, her feline familiar.
When shes wrongly blamed for a rash of ritualistic murders committed by a satanic cult, she knows she cant hide any longer. Shes the one the cults after. More than that, shes the only one who can stop them and prove her innocence.
In doing this, shes drawn back in time by the ghost of the malevolent witch, Rachel Coxe, who was drowned for practicing black magic in the 17th century. Now, as Amanda tries to rehabilitate Rachel's reputation in an effort to save lives, as well as her own, she has to rely on a sister's love and magical knowledge, and a powerful sect of witches called the Guardians, to help her get home safely.
The fire bolt struck again and again and the yells of the dying filled the night and the horrible stench of burning human and demon flesh.
She heard Amadeuss bloodcurdling screech as one of the coven smacked him against a tree and his body fell into the undergrowth. She was too busy keeping the demons away from Jonny to go to his aid.
She destroyed every last one. Murdered them all. Until there were none left. Just piles of smoldering burnt flesh that once were either demon or human. Those called up by Rachel evaporated into smoke and scuttled back to where they had come from. Hell, probably.
When it was over, she stumbled across to see if Jonny was still alive. He was. Barely, but blood was flowing everywhere. If she didnt help him quickly, hed die.
She checked on Amadeus. He was battered and beaten, but already moving around when she found him in the brambles. She picked him up and took him to where the boy was.
She laid down the cat and gathered Jonnys frail body into her arms.

In the beginning, there was the Whole Soybean. And it was Good. Pure. Unrefined. Unadulterated. Full of heart-healthy protein, and loaded with fiber, vitamins and minerals. But then some people began to break it down, hoping the sum of its parts would be greater than the whole. Not Us. You see, we know that only the whole soybean contains all the protein, natural fiber and other nutrients that nature intended. You wont see any "soy isolates" in SoyBlendz just the whole bean, natural and complete. And thats the whole story.

THE MAROON WWW.LOYOLAMAROON.COM FRIDAY, APRIL 18, 2008 VOL. 86, NO. 23 Students' program earns former president's approval Students devised program for Clinton Global Initiative By KATIE URBASZEWSKI ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR It's a dynamic team: Aaron Kirsh has the financial knowledge, Nicole Kone is involved with community outreach and Elliot Sanchez has the university connections. Together, they have developed an idea for poverty alleviation in New Orleans that Bill Clinton personally recognized.Kirsh, finance senior, Kone, English writing senior, and Sanchez, philosophy senior, are in the process of developing a loan system that will give people in the low-income bracket the opportunity to start their own businesses and earn a better salary. They should have the Loyola Microfinance Initiative entirely organized by the beginning of the fall semester, Sanchez said. Loyola will provide the money, and students will run the program. The three seniors developed the idea during the Clinton Global Initiative, a conference at Tulane University that students from across the globe attended last month to discuss and attempt to solve global issues. Out of 700 groups, theirs was one of nine that Clinton acknowledged as noteworthy plans. "He thought the idea had a lot of great potential," Sanchez said. "It really helped a lot of other people understand how much potential the idea has for New Orleans." What Kirsh, Kone and Sanchez are creating is called a microfinance service. People who earn a small income and are interested in starting their own businesses are loaned money from an organization — in this case Loyola — to jumpstart these ventures. Most of the services are simple, such as sewing, catering and childcare. However, these businesses can't launch because their would-be creators live paycheck to paycheck. Microfinance services provide the money to start the business, and the loans are eventually paid back through the earnings of the new businesses.Loyola has promised about $10,000-315.000 to start off with, Kirsh said. By December, they hope to qualify for grants and loans that fund microfinance organizations. During the summer, local churches, the organization's Web site and Jesuit centers will offer SENIORS KEEP IT 'CASUAL' DAN HELFERS / THE MAROON Senior graphic design students display their art in the Monroe Library's Collins C. Diboll Gallery in a show called "Business Casual." The exhibit ran from Saturday, April 12 to Friday, April 18. Campus confidential BY JAUN£ JACKSON THE MAROON It may be a small campus, but Loyola has many little-known places that are steeped in history. Even as administrators work to update Loyola's image, the university plays host to a number of tucked-away places that few students see. THE GREENHOUSE The greenhouse on the fourth-floor of Monroe Hall houses some of the various plants professors and students use for research and teaching. Craig Hood, chairman and professor in the biology department, said the current greenhouse is actually the second greenhouse built at Loyola. The first greenhouse was built on the grassy knoll between the West Road parking garage and the Danna Center. It was filled with exotic plants used for botany classes and professors conducting research. Hood said the old greenhouse was torn down in 1998 because it was deemed "too ugly to be in public view." In order for the greenhouse to function properly, the windows of the greenhouse were sprayed with a white chemical so that the greenhouse effect could take place, adding to the building's unattractive appearance."It did look a little messy on The greenhouse on the roof of Monroe Hall houses plants to be used for research and teaching.The now vacant old library was built in dedication to students and alumni who died in World Warll. Originally a lecture hall, The Marquette Theater is now one of the "best-equipped theaters in the city." PHOTOS BY KEVIN ZANSLER The Lower Depths Theater was originally designed to be a storage area. Policy keeps students in dorms Loyola trying to become ;residential campus By JAUNC JACKSON THE MAROON In an effort to bolster falling retention rates, administrators recently instituted a policy requiring that students live on campus during their sophomore year. This new policy will come into effect next fall. Robert Reed, director of Residential Life, said the Rev. Kevin Wildes, S.J., university president, wants to make the university a "residential campus." Through his research of other schools' residential policies, mostly other Jesuit universities, Reed said universities with the majority of students living on campus have higher retention rates. "Students living on campus their freshman year get very well-connected to the university," Reed said. "They make social contacts, excel in their academics. But we seem to be lax when it comes to their sophomore year." The Cohort Retention Rate Table, a chart the university publishes showing retention percentages from fall to fall semester, provides data from the colleges of Business, Humanities and Natural Sciences, Music and Fine Arts, and Social Sciences. According to Cindy Caire, associate director of Institutional Research at Loyola, the percentages comprise all full-time degree-seeking undergraduate students admitted for the spring and fall terms. "These students are tracked to each subsequent fall semester," Caire said in an e-mail to The Maroon. "If the students have registered hours in the subsequent fall semesters, they are counted as retained." With 520 freshmen arriving for the fall 2006 semester and 405 of them returning for sophomore year, Loyola's retention rate for this year's batch of sophomores stands at 78 percent. This is the second-worst retention rate among sophomores since 1999; the worst numbers are from fall 2004, when sophomore retention stood at 74 percent. For the remaining years since 1999, the rate hovers at around 82 percent. According to Marcia "Cissy" Petty, vice president for Student Affairs and associate provost, administrators introduced the plan requiring sophomores to live on campus almost two years ago and initiated the plan at the President's Cabinet. "There will be exceptions to the policy, and those are currently under discussion," Petty said.

Add the brake rod to the brake arm.
Add the cotter pin here.
Not enough room for a full cotter pin in the other end of the brake stay. So I did this. Kind of a cotter pin safety wire hybrid. I think the stock stuff are hairpin clips.
That should work.
Way to much powdercoat on the brake pedal pivot.
That's better.
I had to clean a bit of powdercoat on these, too.
I thought I was missing a spacer, but I wasn't. This is the K0(auto clutch) part and it connects to a handle bar lever to augment the rear brake pedal. The KH0(hand clutch) replaces this part with a spacer.
The two pieces make up the rear brake pedal.
Basic mock-up. But getting the rod to the pedal wasn't working out right.
There still should be some adjustment here, but everything is jammed up.
It should look like this. The arm seems wrong and I forgot the pinch bolt, too.
Pinch bolt.
Where the bolt should go. There's a dot and the spines only let the arm on one way. I thought the arm was wrong side out or something, but I figured out that was not possible.
After taking a few parts off it is better, but still ain't right. It drags a bit.
Witness marks here.
Hard to show here, but there is a rough spot with raised rust pits in one section of the hub. I worked that over with scotch-brite and a dremel with another steel wool wheel. That wheels work good, but don't seem too last long.
More trials yield less brake drag, but not perfect. The bearings are smooth as glass though.
Back together again. Hours of work to get back to where I started.
It spins really nice now though.
Although the brake drag was a problem to be addressed, I think the brake cam was all jammed to start with (for some reason). Compare the pictures and brake arm angles. Weird.
Replace nut, washer, and cotter pin.
Grease pivot.
Install parts. Oops. Pin for the hand lever goes behind pedal parts.
Almost right, I forgot the big washer.
Better, but I still need a washer behind the brake rod cotter pin. I can't find it, so I'll have to get a 5mm washer later.
Finally the wheel spins nicely and the brake pedal works.
This tab for the rear brake light switch should be straight.
Arc joint pliers and a rag got it straight again.
Finally right.
The snow outside gave me too much back light to get the day's work picture any good, but it's not that dramatic compared to
the last one
. There was a lot of time and work put in, but you can't tell by just looking.

We just got back from another amazing trip to Japan for the Mooneyes Hot Rod & Custom Show. I dusted off my old Olympus OM-2 35mm camera to take since another "new" digital SLR was in need of repair, out of date, and worthless. Picked up prints from Costco last night. Feels good to hold em in your hands...more to come. All Fuji 800 through a 50mm 1.8 lens, handheld, no flash.
Thanks again Shige and everyone involved!

Baby, it's cold outside.
To the loft and the parts bike. It's colder and more crowded up here.
I had big boy keep the left spacer in his left hand and right spacer in his right hand. I guess the right one is the fatter of the two.
Grease and install the left spacer.
Wheel, right spacer, and axle ready.
Big boy pushes the axle in.
Oops. We forgot the chain adjuster.
Try two is better.
The new locknut on the other side didn't want to start and thread at first but we got it on. I tightened everything at the second mark just for the sake of getting it rolling. I will get the chain right later.
I managed to dig out most of the rear brake stay parts.
This witness mark is from the spring.
Spring and stay go here.
A nut and washer hold this.
This shoulder bolt goes here.
Nut and washer here, too.
Hmmm, suppose to have a lock washer there, too. And both ends need a cotter pin, but I don't feel like walking to my garage to get my assortment right now.
Oh yeah, looking good. It should stop on a dime now or at least as good as mechanical drums could ever stop.
Time to figure out this pedal business.
Most of the pieces, and I knew that washer was going to be important.
I had a few moments of panic when I couldn't find the pedal. I know I got it back from the powdercoater, but did I leave a box of parts in storage or what? Luckily it was in a cardboard box and not in all the plastic totes.
I will have to call it quits for the day. All the mating/moving surfaces of the pedal and frame will need some powdercoat removed, I think I still need to rob a part or two from the red bike, too. I got new cables, a headlight bucket, and seat foam going. I need to figure out which set of pegs and brush guard is the nice set and do a mock-up and then send them for powdercoat.

This site complies with the HONcode standard for trustworthy health information: verify here.
You will lose on average 100 of your 100,000 hairs a day, regardless of how you style, colour, or wear your hair. However, if taken to excess, many of these processes can fall into the category of hair abuse, which does cause hair loss, either temporarilyy or permanently. So how can you safely style your hair and what can you do to reduce the risk of damage and hair loss?
One of the most damaging things you can do to your hair is to wear it in tight braids or bunches for a prolonged period. This is especially true for tight cornrow style braids or dreadlocks, making this a particular problem for certain ethnic communities. Keeping your hair tightly braided puts a strain on the hair follicles and leads to hair loss through traction alopecia.
Traction alopecia can be particularly severe if tight braiding is applied to hair that is already damaged through dying or bleaching. Hair loss through traction alopecia is most common in the frontal and temporal regions of the scalp, and if not spotted and treated early, will result in permanent hair loss in these areas.
Another common cause of traction alopecia is the weaving in of hair pieces or extensions. These not only cause tension in the existing hair through the weave itself, but also through the pull from the weight of the hair piece or extension.
Since many hair pieces are sited at the edge of the existing hairline, the hair they are attached to is often the most vulnerable. Several leading celebrities who favour hair extensions have been photographed with rather obvious bald patches and unsurprisingly, opted for a new, shorter hair style subsequently.
Contrary to common belief, normal drying, straightening, and styling will do little damage your hair follicles. The most likely effect will be on the hair shaft itself, which can cause the hair to break and appear thinner. You can make sure that you minimise the risk of damage and hair loss by following a few simple steps:
Always hold the hairdryer at least 15 cm from your head and use a diffuser if possible
Ensure that the hot air flows along your hair, not directly at it, causing a hot spot
Always try to leave your hair slightly damp to avoid over drying it and leaving it brittle
Choose hair products that moisturise your hair and add proteins
Similarly, it is unlikely that styling products, such as relaxers, gels, or hairspray will cause hair loss if used in moderation. However, such products can build up on the hair adding weight that can become a factor in other hair loss problems, so it is best to thoroughly cleanse your hair of these products on a regular basis using a deep clean shampoo.
If your perm is done professionally by a skilled, experienced stylist, it should not put you at risk of hair loss. However, there are risks if you try and cut corners and put your hair in the hands of someone less skilled, like yourself armed with a home perm if you have never done it before.
If perms are undertaken by less skilled stylists, there are several risks of hair loss. Too much tension in the curling rods can cause breakage in the hair, and if the rods are rolled too tightly to the scalp, this can cause damage to the follicles themselves. Furthermore, excessive exposure to the perming chemicals can cause damage and scarring to the scalp that can result in hair loss.
Once again, high quality hair colouring products used properly according to the instructions will have little impact on hair loss. As with perms, it is always worth paying that bit extra to ensure your hair gets the best possible protection.
The biggest danger from hair dyes is hydrogen peroxide. This is used in most hair dyes to raise the cuticle layer and allow the dyes to penetrate the hair shaft. Once the cuticle is raised, your hair is at risk of drying out as more moisture can escape from within the hair shaft. This can cause it to become brittle and at risk of breaking and causing hair loss. Many modern dye kits and most professional salons will include a conditioning stage after the dye has been applied, which closes the cuticle again, sealing in both the dye and the hair's natural moisture.
As a rule, the greater the change in hair colour you are aiming for, the harsher the chemicals required, with the lightest shades often requiring bleaching agents that can cause lasting damage to the hair shaft. To minimise the risk of hair loss from hair colouring, it is best to avoid significant colour changes.
Excessive exposure to direct sunlight can harm your hair, damaging vital proteins and drying out the strands, leading to hair loss. You should look after your hair in the sun in the same way you would look after your skin, by protecting it, avoiding long exposure and moisturising it thoroughly afterwards:
Use a conditioner with SPF protection built into the formula
Tie up your hair in a ponytail or plaits to reduce the amount of hair exposed to the sun
Wear a hat or scarf to protect your head
Avoid oil-based hair gels, sprays, or finishing products as these can magnify the heating effects of the sunshine

Quick Links: Topic Categories and Deadlines Video Submission Guidelines Judging and Awards Contest Rules
The National Forensic League's I Approve This Message Presidential Debate Contest is a new contest to correspond with the 2012 Presidential Debates, allowing students to weigh in on some of the biggest issues facing our country right now. While many students who participate in this contest will not even be eligible to vote, we know that many speech and debate students under 18 are still well-invested in the political process, and wish to have their voices heard on important issues. This is an opportunity for students to tell the world what they think should be done about the economy, health care, and education.
Students choose which topic they would like to tackle, or all three, and submit a prepared persuasive speech that presents a plan that would solve the problem. Students will be judged on the content of their speech and the top students will receive awards from the National Forensic League.
Who can participate? All student members of the National Forensic League. How to participate? Students will submit a five-minute video, giving a prepared speech that addresses one of the topic categories outlined below. These topics are some of the main issues that the Presidential Debates and Vice-Presidential Debate will focus on throughout the month of October.
The five-minute prepared speech should address a problem within the topic category, and propose a plan that will provide a solution to the issue. Students should research the chosen topic and cite the sources used in their speech. Speeches should not be based entirely on opinion, but should use studies, scholarly journal articles, news articles and more to support the plan of the speaker.
Students may only submit one video per category. Attempts to submit more than one video per category will disqualify students immediately. Students may resubmit a video prior to their chosen topic's deadline if there are technical issues with the video file or upload process.

The Donkervoort GTO
After two and a half years of development Donkervoort Automobielen in Lelystad – in close collaboration with Audi Quattro GmbH – have unveiled their next gen of open sports cars: the Donkervoort GTO. Honestly, how can you resist a sports car with a roll cage, a bold body, and a capacity of 400 HP with a torque of 450 Nm from about 1600 RPMs? This is, without a doubt, one of the fastest European sports cars on the market!
The two companies decided to do a private unveiling of their creation where they constructed 25 specially designed versions of the car, which we sold in a matter of hours. Because this vehicle is the marriage of two top contending teams – it is essentially a brand new designed car, not a sequel to its predecessors.

(This message was sent by the Redwood Shores Community Association to the Belmont-Redwood Shores School Board of Trustees on February 2, 2012.)
February 2, 2012
Superintendent Dr. Emerita Orta-Camilleri and
Members of the Belmont-Redwood Shores Board of Trustees
2960 Hallmark Dr
Belmont, CA 94002
I am writing at the direction of RSCA's Board of Directors to address the School District's plans for the use of the more than $8.7 Million in matching State grant funds recently awarded to the District.
As long time supporters of the School District, the Redwood Shores Community Association has a strong interest in how the Belmont-Redwood Shores School District plans to use funds provided by the State of California as a match to the bond funds raised for use in the Redwood Shores SFID by Measure C.
Given that:
- When the School District was unable to come up with funds to build the much-needed second elementary school in the Shores, a separate funding district ('the Redwood Shores SFID') was created, and Shores residents voted to approve Bond Measure C to provide $25 Million to purchase land and cover building costs for the new Redwood Shores Elementary School.
- Funding for land and construction of the new school was paid entirely by the residents of the Shores.
- The grant of State funds was to match funding for construction for the new school, again those Measure C bond funds provided entirely by the residents of the Shores.
Therefore we believe strongly that the matching State grant funds should be used ONLY for new construction or improvements at Redwood Shores Elementary and Sandpiper Elementary, or to pay off Measure C bonds.
In the past we asked the School District to provide relief to Shores taxpayers by paying off a portion of the Measure C bonds with matching funds not used for school projects in the Shores. We still favor this plan.
However, should the School District decide to retain the Measure C bond funds for present and future school projects, we feel quite strongly that those funds should be maintained solely for use in the Redwood Shores SFID (i.e., at Sandpiper Elementary or Redwood Shores Elementary).
We were surprised to read yesterday that the School District is planning to spend potentially millions of the Measure C matching dollars at Ralston Middle School, arguing that this would be acceptable because Shores students also attend Ralston. While this may be true, it is also true that the School District recently passed a bond measure within the entire School District (including the Shores) for those Ralston improvements. Rather than spending Measure C matching funds at Ralston, it would be more appropriate for the School District to apply for additional matching funds for Ralston based on the District-wide Ralston bond measure.
We can only hope that the School District will exercise its fiduciary responsibility in the use all bond and SFID Measure C matching funds both prudently and appropriately. You should expect that the support of RSCA and the Shores community for any future School District bond measures and/or parcel taxes will be quite dependent upon the District's decision in this matter.

Dear Editor;
For over seven years we have been struggling with our neighbours, our municipality and provincial government bodies to find a solution to a problem that keeps getting worse every year. And the worst part is no one seems to care or is willing to do anything to stop it.
Since the summer of 2005, I have dealt with the effects of unlawful drainage and the large amount of drainage flooding my land. A lot of the land around our farm - marginal land full of sloughs - is being bought up and drained with heavy equipment even though this land is swampy and is only good as pasture land.
My neighbours are draining the water off their land as fast a possible with no regard for what happens to anyone downstream. They have no permits, they're not willing to discuss the repercussions of their actions, and the Saskatchewan Watershed Authority doesn't enforce the law.
These farmers are breaking the law by draining 28 quarter sections illegally onto me and they are not held accountable. Why is that? It's illegal to drain water without a permit, so why isn't the government putting a stop to it? I filed a complaint in spring 2011 with SWA, the government department responsible for protecting water resources. They tell me it could take years before anything is done and to try and work it out with my neighbours. Last fall the heavy equipment was working again doing more drainage and SWA still did nothing.
I'm losing more and more acres every year. I haven't seeded some areas of my land in almost five years. I'm worried about all the contaminants that are carried with the run off due to drainage and flooding and how it will affect the three wells on my property. I'm worried about the health of my family. I know of wells in other RMs that can no longer be used because of this kind of contamination. I don't want that to happen to us.
I'm dealing with the mess created by others. I'm frustrated and discouraged, but I'm also not the only one having these issues. Others are intimidated and are afraid to take a stand. Maybe it's because when they complained, nothing changed. Maybe it's because they plan on selling or retiring soon. Still, I have 3 children that may farm one day on this land and I'm not going anywhere. This land has been in my family for multiple generations and the problem has never been this bad. Increased drainage has only made it worse. I'm fed up. And where's the provincial watershed authority? They should be shutting these drainage works down - they're illegal.
All I want is for the drainage to stop; for the flooding to stop; and for these farmers to have a regard for the law that was put in place to protect the landowners in this province from dealing with the issues I have for almost a decade. I just want my farm back.
On Wednesday, April 25, 2012 a group of us (farmers) met with Kathy Sproul - NDP Agriculture Critic, Bucky Belanger - NDP Environmental Critic, Minister Dustin Duncan-Environment at the parliament. We presented our facts and maps. Ms. Sproul brought forth our issues in parliament, and CTV aired our issue on the 6:00 p.m. news. Why do we have to go to the Minister of Environment to beg for help? Someone or some people are not following the law. This matter is very serious and must be dealt with.

Krewe du Vieux Announces its 2013 Theme: |
KdV Comes Early! |
NEW ORLEANS – After a marathon discussion filled with innuendo, subterfuge, and double entendre, the Krewe duVieux has decided on its theme: "Krewe du Vieux Comes early!" Ohhhhh yeeeah!!
What is Krewe du Vieux The Krewe du Vieux is a New Orleans Mardi Gras or Carnival krewe, originally and more fully known as the Krewe du Vieux Carre ("Vieux Carre" being another term for the city's French Quarter). It is one of the earliest parades of the New Orleans Carnival calendar, and is noted for wild satirical and adult themes, as well as for showcasing some of the best Brass and Jazz Bands in New Orleans. |
Vieuxs Served |
The Krewe du Vieux's seventeen subkrewes will each present their own interpretations of the theme. Subkrewes include the Krewe of C.R.U.D.E., Krewe of Space Age Love, Krewe of Underwear, Seeds of Decline, Krewe of Mama Roux, Krewe of L.E.W.D., Krewe of Drips and Dis- charges, Krewe of K.A.O.S., Knights of Mondu, T.O.K.I.N., Krewe Rue Bourbon, Krewe de C.R.A.P.S., Mystic Krewe of Spermes, Mystic Krewe of Comatose, Mystic Krewe of Inane, and Krewe du Mishigas.
Also marching will be many of the city's top brass bands. Showcasing the local brass band talent is one of many Krewe du Vieux traditions not eligible for coverage under the health care reform bill.

IF there's one thing you have to beware of in today's fast-moving business world it is previous SEO success!
Countless companies have achieved a few years of strong search results and then relied on their brand to keep up the good work. That's when yesterday's SEO success can so easily lead to failure tomorrow.
Yes, it is true that brands remain a very strong signal when it comes to that all-important ranking, but they are not the sole criteria in the search for SEO success. Recent advancements such as 'authorship rank' and SearchPlus Your World have seen to that.
SEO is a market place where there are no divine rights and too often presumption on the part of companies is leading to money-costing complacency. Indeed standing still is not an option when it comes to SEO success – you either move forward or you lose ground.
The challenge is therefore on for your SEO strategist to challenge the corporate ego and red tape and identify what, if anything, are your barriers to SEO success. The first sign that something is going wrong is simple enough to spot – a rival company is suddenly doing it better and faster than you are. You can guarantee that nothing will get your boss' attention quicker than evidence you are being outranked with your own ideas or content and are fast slipping down the league table of SEO success.
This can easily be put right; perhaps the problem is a missed title tag on your part. Or it could be a symptom of larger problems with your content creation process. Whatever the problem, the trail will lead back to editorial. The role of a content producer is always busy as they are the mouthpiece of the company and guardians of your brand's editorial integrity. But if they think responsibility for SEO success lies elsewhere then your thinking is well out of date.
SEO content teams must appreciate their audience – who they are, what they need and are daily looking for. Cultivating that following isn't an option, it is a requirement for SEO success. This includes doing regular keyword research around their topics to discover both search and seasonal trends. They should also be effectively monitoring news and what their users are doing to then adapt their own workflow and processes.
Training is vital to ongoing SEO success. Hold training sessions every month at least – along with informal SEO meetings – to ensure information is being shared. These meetings provide chances for staff to talk about changing trends within their own industry and discuss how they are going to respond to ensure SEO success.
Your in-house SEO expert should be constantly refreshing his or her colleagues on why search is so important for SEO success. Monthly search ranking reports, plus daily and weekly emails illustrating real examples of successes and failures are just some of the ways to continually refresh those who will be held responsible for continuing SEO success.
There are some occasions when SEO success can come second in a company's never ending list of priorities. A designer may choose Flash over HTML for the new photo gallery while the tech team has its own ideas. Also an editor may want to use an eye-catching and clever headline for visitors to the home page but without certain targeted keyword phrases. These are all fine as long as everyone is aware that these decisions are being made at the expense of a search opportunity and SEO success.
