Smallholder tea farmers in Kenya are organized through the Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA), which works with farmers to produce, process and market high quality teas. KTDA promotes better tea production practices in order to help smallholder farmers increase production quantity and achieve certification--with the ultimate goal of strengthening existing tea markets and establishing new ones. Various KTDA farms are pursuing certification by Rainforest Alliance, Fairtrade and UTZ.
This literature review aims to identify climate‐friendly agricultural practices for coffee, cocoa, and tea that (a) reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) from the use of land, machinery and chemicals, (b) lead to an increase of on‐farm carbon stocks, and/or (c) improve the resilience of agro‐ecosystems and farming communities to adapt to a changing climate, compared to local, business-as-usual practices (BAUs). This comparison is based on surveys of the scientific data related to GHGs and carbon storage, as well as predictions from models.
While some consider cocoa certification an adequate tool to promote sustainability in the cocoa value chain and improve farmer livelihoods, other actors are less optimistic about the net benefits that certification offers at the farm level and highlight its investment burden for farmers. To provide more clarity to this debate, KPMG was commissioned by The International Cocoa Organization to conduct a qualitative and quantitative study on the costs and benefits of certification.

Late Announcement
It is likely no one remembers me, but I wanted to share my announcement anyway. My husband and I welcomed our second son April 10, 2013. He was healthy and wonderful and came out looking just like his dad.
I asked Nameberry for help in choosing a name, so I thought I would share which name we chose. The baby remained unnamed for a few hours after delivery while we made our final decision. In the end we decided he looked too much like a Milo not to go with it.
We named him Milo Sebastian. Big brother Liam calls him Mellow Milo because he has been such a pleasant baby. We're thrilled.

Un bloody believable !!
NO we can't understand WHY ,, Ken Sutcliffe !!
you'd think they would record that bit and instead show live sport, not the other way round. The worst thing is they didn't even try to hide what they were doing. They've passed off at least one other event that was recorded.
should have been recorded and used for filler (of the bin), don't rip off a live event
In all honesty i think this is what the media companies want. The more the ratings drop on Free to Air (FTA) TV they can justify the push towards the Pay TV model.
This would allow them to lobby against the mandatory minimums on FTA TV when it comes to sport. Why do you think GO stopped being a second all sport channel.
Personally I think it will back fire due to the internet. As it stands now I hardly ever watch live TV. Most of the TV shows that I enjoy I download and watch when I want and better yet are ad free. Don't get me wrong I would happily deal with the ads or pay for the shows, but due to the restrictions that the media companies put on the other suppliers I am not given that option.
its all humourless and drab. bring back roy and hg

LaDonna Cobb and her husband, Steve, were with their children at their school on May 20 when a tornado demolished the building.
A photograph of Steve Cobb carrying one of their daughters with his wife looking to him with blood on her face emerged as a symbol of Moore's suffering and resilience.
Friday's tornadoes drove them into a shelter and put fear into their hearts again.
"We're terrified," Cobb told CNN's Piers Morgan.
The second tornado was particular unsettling for their children.
"They were not handling it very well. They were pretty upset," Cobb said.
Once it passed, Lewis, the city mayor, rode around town in his pickup.
"This is unbelievable that it could possibly even hit again," he said. "We just started picking up (debris) two days ago."

WNAB-TV CW58 Shows - Reign
Arriving in France with four close friends as her ladies-in-waiting, Mary has been sent to secure Scotlands strategic alliance by formalizing her arranged engagement to the French kings dashing son, Prince Francis.
But the match isn't signed and sealed, it depends more on politics, religion and secret agendas than affairs of the heart. Prince Francis is intrigued by the fiery Scot, but like most young men, he resists the idea of settling down into marriage, especially when he has a history with a lady of the court and his own point of view on the wisdom of an alliance with Scotland. Still, an attraction between Mary and Francis is ignited.
Further complicating things is Bash, Francis handsome, roguish half-brother, who has a history of his own " despite his illegitimate birth, Bash is his fathers favorite. Though he is all too aware that Francis is the heir to the throne and Marys intended, Bash soon develops his own feelings for Mary. None of the intrigue at Court is lost on Francis mother, Queen Catherine. The strong-willed Queen is aware of Marys inflammatory effect on her son and his half-brother, just as she is aware of the dalliances of her husband, King Henry, not only with his mistress, but with other ladies of the Court, as well.
For guidance, Queen Catherine turns to her trusted advisor, the seer Nostradamus, who terrifies the Queen with his prophecy that marriage to Mary will cost Francis his life. Catherine is determined to save her son, no matter how many others have to pay with their lives.
The series stars Adelaide Kane (Teen Wolf) as Mary, Toby Regbo (One Day) as Prince Francis, Torrance Coombs (The Tudors) as Bash, Megan Follows (Anne of Green Gables) as Queen Catherine, Alan Van Sprang (The Tudors) as King Henry, Celina Sinden (newcomer) as Greer, Caitlin Stasey (newcomer) as Kenna, Anna Popplewell (The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader) as Lola, and Jenessa Grant (Cyberbully) as Aylee.

Clarissa (guest star Katie Boland) becomes bolder with her endeavors, while Kenna (Caitlin Stasey) informs Catherine (Megan Follows) of Dianes (guest star Anna Walton) plan for Bash (Torrance Coombs), which ends up backfiring.

Matt Stevens is a meteorologist with CNY Central.
First came June's heavy rains and floods. Then, the seemingly every-other-day forecast of rain. All adding up to a surplus of rain for Central New York this summer. In the last 3 months, rainfall totals at the Syracuse Hancock Airport have varied between 2 and 4 inches above average. Other areas have measured even more, impacting local farmers. One of the biggest problems they're dealing with is a shortage of hay.
Julia Hudyncia, an Agricultural Sciences Teacher at Madison High School, details the harder-times to come. "Farmers will find themselves in a shortage of feed for their animals when it comes to the fall, winter, and early next spring. So I think we may see a lot of neighborly relations, with bartering."
Julia says this bartering likely means farmers will work with each other to "shore-up" each others resources. For example, one farmer may have a surplus of hay on the first cutting, while another may have that surplus on the second cutting. Working together, they can "even-out" their losses, and ultimately keep costs down.
Speaking of costs, you can probably imagine much of my conversation with Julia centered on the economic impacts of having too much water around this summer. However, there's another rather interesting component to this story, and it has to do with safety hazards.
"If we're trying to dry out this hay, it's going to take maybe a day or two longer for the farmer to turn this hay and get it to officially dry out. So that when it actually gets compacted into a bale of hay, it doesn't combust into a fire."
She says hay bales are packed so tightly, that if there's any moisture trapped in there, it will make the hay ferment. During this process, the bale will get so hot, it can actually spontaneously combust.
Clearly, farmers and animals alike are hoping for a drier finish to the summer.

599. Carrying a Child
Rabbi Jack Abramowitz
82:9 We may place food before a non-Jew in a courtyard or in a house, even though we know he will take it out, so long as we don't actually place it in his hand. If one puts the food into his hand, it's like performing the "uprooting" portion of transporting. This applies when the non-Jew has permission to eat the food there, should he so desire. If he doesn't have such permission, or if he's given so much food that he can't finish it there and must take some "to go," it is prohibited because it appears that he was given the food specifically so that he would transport it on Shabbos. This is equally true for any other items that the non-Jew would clearly take outside.
82:10 A woman may support her child walking even in a public domain so long as she doesn't drag him. Rather, the child should raise one leg while the other rests on the ground. He should stand on one leg until the other is back on the ground so that he is always supporting himself with at least one leg. When his mother drags both legs, this is considered carrying the child and is prohibited even in a carmelis (the quasi-public domain). One may not carry a child, even one who is big enough to walk on his own, not even in a carmelis. Yes, there is a concept of "chai nosei es atzmo," that a living thing carries itself, but the context of this statement is only to exempt a person who did it from having to bring a sin offering, not to permit one to do so at the outset. Carrying a child is a rabbinic safeguard, as is carrying in a carmelis, so people may mistakenly be lenient in this matter. They should be informed otherwise.

Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn signed new legislation Thursday that bans all teenagers from indoor tanning beds and electronic cigarettes.
House Bill 188, co-sponsored by Senate Minority Leader Christine Radogno (R-Lemont) and Robyn Gabel (D-Evanston), prohibits all minors under the age of 18 from using UV tanning booths and equipment. Currently, minors ages 14 to 17 are allowed to tan if they provide a parent's signature.
Radogno said in a press release that she introduced the bill to protect Illinois minors from the serious health risks involved with indoor tanning beds.
"I'm proud to say that Illinois is a leader in the ongoing fight against skin cancer," Radogno said. "When science and health care experts proved indoor tanning is a known carcinogen shown to increase the chance of melanoma by 75 percent for people under 35, I felt an obligation to sponsor this legislation. This bill will not only save lives, but hopefully educate parents and kids about the serious dangers associated with indoor tanning beds."
Spray-on tanning is exempt from the legislation, as is phototherapy, which applies to situations where a physician supervises tanning when it is necessary to treat a medical condition.
Illinois joins California and Vermont as the only states in the country with an outright ban on tanning for minors under the age of 18.
Quinn also signed legislation Thursday that prohibits anyone under the age of 18 from using electronic cigarettes and other alternative nicotine products.
Senate Bill 1756, sponsored by Rep. Kathleen Willis (D-Addison) and Sen. John Mulroe (D-Chicago), was introduced to combat America's most common form of chemical dependence, nicotine.
"Nicotine has been proven to be a harmful and addictive substance," Mulroe said. "We ban children from purchasing it in all of its other forms. This law just helps us keep up with the advancements in the ways it is being sold."
Quinn said both new laws reflect his commitment to protecting and improving the health of people in Illinois.
"I am signing these new laws today so that our youth and their families can be spared the consequences of very serious and preventable health problems that are caused by dangerous habits formed at a young age," Quinn said. "Together these measures will protect the health of Illinois youth and save lives in the long-run."
The bans will go into effect Jan. 1, 2014.

A single copy of this article may be reprinted for personal, noncommercial use only.
By Mayo Clinic staffOriginal Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/pleurisy/DS00244
Pleurisy |
Pleurisy occurs when the double membrane (pleura) that lines the inside of your chest cavity and surrounds each of your lungs becomes inflamed. Also called pleuritis, pleurisy typically causes sharp pain, almost always when you are inhaling and exhaling.
Pleurisy occurs as a complication of a wide variety of underlying conditions. Relieving pleurisy involves treating the underlying condition, if it's known, and taking pain relievers.
The signs and symptoms of pleurisy may include:
- Chest pain when you inhale and exhale (between breaths, you feel almost no pain)
- Shortness of breath
- Dry cough
- Fever and chills, depending on the cause
- Loss of appetite, depending on the cause
The sharp, fleeting pain in your chest that pleurisy causes is made worse by coughing, sneezing, moving and breathing, especially deep breathing. In some cases, pain may extend from your chest to your shoulder. You may find relief from pain when you hold your breath or when you apply pressure over the painful area.
When an accumulation of fluids (pleural effusion) is associated with pleurisy, the pain usually disappears because the fluid serves as a lubricant. However, if enough fluid accumulates, it puts pressure on your lungs, compressing and interfering with their normal function, causing shortness of breath. If the fluid becomes infected, the signs and symptoms of dry cough, fever and chills may appear. An infected pleural effusion is called an empyema.
When to see a doctor
Call your doctor if you experience any of the following:
- Unexplained, intense chest pain, especially that comes on suddenly
- Shortness of breath
- High fever
These signs and symptoms point to a problem with your lungs or pleura if the pain occurs with respiration, but may also indicate an underlying illness for which you need prompt medical care.
Pleurisy |
A double layer of membranes called pleura separate your lungs from your chest wall. One layer of the pleura overlies each lung. The other layer lines the inner chest wall. The layers are like two pieces of smooth satin rubbing against each other with almost no friction, allowing your lungs to expand and contract when you breathe without any resistance from the lining of the chest wall.
When inflamed, the two layers of the pleural membrane in the affected side of your chest rub against each other like two pieces of sandpaper, producing the pain of pleurisy when you inhale and exhale.
The underlying medical conditions that can cause pleurisy are numerous. Pleurisy causes include:
- An acute viral infection, such as the flu (influenza)
- Pneumonia, in those cases in which the infected portion of your lung involves the surface of the pleura
- Tuberculosis and other infections
- A clot in an artery of your lungs (pulmonary embolism)
Pleurisy can also occur as a result of trauma to your chest or after heart surgery. Rib fractures also may cause pleurisy. It's possible to fracture a rib in the absence of trauma, such as from a severe cough. In some cases, the cause of pleurisy is unknown (idiopathic).
Cancer involving the lung rarely causes pleurisy. There's no relationship between smoking and pleurisy, but a "smoker's cough" will aggravate the pain of this condition.
Preparing for your appointment
You're likely to start by seeing your family doctor. However, when you call to set up your appointment, you may be urged to seek immediate medical care if you are experiencing severe, unexplained chest pain or difficulty breathing.
If you are young and have typical symptoms of a viral illness, your doctor may be able to manage your symptoms by phone.
Because appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well prepared for your appointment. Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment, and what to expect from your doctor.
What you can do
- Be aware of any pre-appointment restrictions. At the time you make the appointment, be sure to ask if there's anything you need to do in advance.
- Write down any symptoms you've been experiencing, and for how long. Be prepared to describe your chest pain to your doctor and to pinpoint where it starts and how far it spreads. Be sure to mention that the pain occurs when you are breathing in and out.
- Write down key personal information, including recent travel abroad and major life changes, both positive and negative. Your doctor may also be interested in your work history, including possible environmental exposure to asbestos over the past 20 years or longer.
- Make a list of your key medical information, including other conditions you're being treated for and the names of any medications, vitamins and supplements that you're taking. Also note whether any family members — especially children — or close friends have recently been ill.
- Take a family member or friend along, if possible. With pleurisy, the pain you're experiencing may be too intense to safely drive. In addition, it can be difficult to soak up all the information provided to you during an appointment. Someone who accompanies you may remember something that you missed or forgot.
- Write down questions to ask your doctor.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions will help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out.
For pleurisy, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
- What do you think is the underlying cause of my symptoms?
- Are there any other possible causes for my symptoms?
- Does it make any difference that my sputum is yellowish or greenish?
- What kinds of diagnostic tests or procedures do I need?
- What treatment approach do you recommend?
- How soon after I begin treatment can I expect to feel better?
- Are there self-care steps I can take to improve my discomfort?
- What should I do if the pain doesn't get any better?
- Do you recommend that I stay home from work or school? For how long?
- Will it help if I stop smoking?
- If the people I live with smoke, will it aggravate my condition?
- Am I at risk of long-term complications from this condition?
- Is the underlying cause of my symptoms contagious? How can I reduce the risk of passing my illness to others?
- I have other health conditions. How can I best manage them together?
- Should I see a specialist? What will that cost, and will my insurance cover seeing a specialist?
- Is there a generic alternative to the medicine you're prescribing me?
- Are there any brochures or other printed material that I can take home with me? What websites do you recommend visiting?
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask questions during your appointment at any time that you don't understand something.
What to expect from your doctor
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over any points you want to talk about in-depth. Your doctor may ask:
- How would you describe your symptoms?
- When did you begin experiencing these symptoms?
- Where is your chest pain located? Does it spread to your arms, shoulders or jaw?
- Is your chest pain constant, or does it come and go?
- What, if anything, makes your chest pain better? What makes it worse?
- Have you ever had anything like this before?
- Have you been on bed rest for more than several days?
- Do your symptoms include other types of pain, such as a sore throat or joint pain?
- Have you been experiencing difficulty breathing?
- Have you been experiencing fever or night sweats?
- Do you have any arthritis?
- To a woman, have you recently had a baby?
- Have you lost weight without trying?
- How does your current energy level compare to what's normal for you?
- Have you been diagnosed with or treated for any other health conditions?
- What medications are you currently taking?
- Have you recently had any medical procedures?
- Have you recently traveled to another country? Did anyone who traveled with you get sick?
- Have you been on a recent long airplane trip?
- Have you been involved in any work, projects or hobbies over the years that might have exposed you to asbestos?
- Do or did you smoke? For how long?
What you can do in the meantime
While you wait for your appointment, over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) — which also helps control inflammation — and acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) may make you more comfortable.
Tylenol with codeine, available by prescription only, helps control both a cough and pain. Get plenty of rest. You may find that lying on the painful side of your body eases your discomfort.
Tests and diagnosis
Tests to diagnose the underlying cause of your symptoms may include:
- Medical history and physical exam. Your doctor will ask detailed questions about your medical history, including other health problems, medications and your recent signs and symptoms. Your doctor may want to examine your chest with a stethoscope. If he or she hears a "snow crunching" sound over the area of your pain, that may be enough to diagnose pleurisy. You may even be able to feel the crunching with your hand. This sign isn't always present with pleurisy, however.
- Blood tests. A blood test may tell your doctor if you have an infection and, if so, what type of infection you have. Other blood tests also may detect an autoimmune disorder, such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, in which the initial sign is pleurisy.
Your doctor may also order imaging tests or diagnostic procedures.
Imaging tests
Imaging tests to diagnose the underlying cause of pleurisy may include:
- Chest X-ray. A chest X-ray may show an area of inflammation in your lungs that indicates pneumonia. Sometimes doctors want a special type of chest X-ray in which you lie on your side where the pleurisy is to see if there's any fluid that doesn't appear on a standard chest X-ray. This type of X-ray is called a decubitus chest X-ray.
- Computerized tomography (CT) scan. Your doctor will want to investigate any unexplained abnormality seen on chest X-rays with additional imaging, usually beginning with a computerized tomography (CT) scan. In a CT scan, a computer translates information from X-rays into images of thin sections (slices) of your chest, producing more-detailed images.
- Ultrasound. This imaging method uses high-frequency sound waves to produce precise images of structures within your body. Your doctor may use ultrasound to determine whether you have a pleural effusion.
Diagnostic procedures
In some cases, your doctor may remove fluid and tissue from the pleural space for testing. Procedures may include:
- Thoracentesis. To remove fluid for laboratory analysis, your doctor may suggest a procedure called thoracentesis. In this procedure, your doctor first injects a local anesthetic between your ribs to the area where fluid was seen on your imaging studies. Next your doctor then inserts a needle through your chest wall between your ribs to remove fluid for laboratory analysis. If only a small amount of fluid is present, your doctor may insert the needle with the help of ultrasound guidance over the site of the fluid.
- Pleural biopsy. If tuberculosis or lung cancer is a suspected cause of your condition, your doctor may perform thoracentesis with pleural biopsy — removal of a sample of tissue to be examined in a pathology laboratory. The biopsy needle has a small hook on the end that lifts away a small piece of tissue. Your doctor may use ultrasound guidance for this procedure as well.
- Thoracoscopy. This procedure, performed while you're under a general anesthetic, allows a surgeon to see inside your chest and obtain a sample of pleural tissue. First, the surgeon makes one or more small incisions between your ribs. A tube with a tiny video camera is then inserted into your chest cavity - a procedure sometimes called video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Tools designed for this type of surgery allow your surgeon to cut away tissue for testing.
Treatments and drugs
Treatments used in pleurisy and pleural effusion focus primarily on the underlying cause. For example, if bacterial pneumonia is the cause, an antibiotic may control the infection.
Over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may help relieve some of the signs and symptoms of pleurisy. Prescription codeine may help control a cough as well as the pain. If you have a large buildup of fluid, you may need to stay in the hospital to have the fluid drained continuously through a tube inserted into your chest.
The outcome of pleurisy treatment may depend on the seriousness of the underlying disease.
Lifestyle and home remedies
The following steps may help relieve symptoms related to pleurisy:
- Lie on your painful side. This may actually lessen your pain.
- Take OTC medicines such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) as needed to relieve pain and inflammation.
- Get plenty of rest. Even when you start to feel better, be careful not to overdo it.

In a commercially borderless world it's increasingly common for sportspersons to change teams and country of residence. Given that reality, deciding what offer to accept often transcends athletics since the tax implications of that choice can have far reaching financial implications.
This insightful work offers a concise description of the tax issues that affect a sportsperson relocating to the most common countries of origin and destination for sportspersons. It takes an essentially descriptive approach, opting to set forth the general personal tax framework the athlete will face. The aim is to create a resource of first reference providing the reader with a practical overview of the key issues they need to consider. Among the topics covered are the rules on inbound expatriates, tax treatment of image rights, exploitation of image rights through corporate vehicles, tax treatment of nonresidents, and the concept of "residence".
This practical reference is the result of a collaboration between the highly regarded Spanish law firm Garrigues and the TAXAND network of global tax advisors.

Reaction from former Rep. Dennis Kucinich
Feb 1, 2013
Also in this playlist...
Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
The White House reaction today's jobs report is this the president's economic advisors today saying.
Critical investments.
Are needed to promote job creation as part of the game plan.
Is more spending the answer here former Ohio democratic congressman Fox News contributor now -- -- finished.
Think so so congressmen.
Spend what.
And spend it where.
Well first of we can't be talking about more taxes we have to be talking about creating more taxpayers.
We need a full employment economy that's the big idea that the -- that the country needs right now.
And as far as -- cutting spending we have to be aware that if we start cutting spending significantly.
They've GDP which is already slowing down is going to.
Make and even worse.
Parents and we're rendered we're gonna end up in to -- moving towards a recession.
So why do you think though that more spending now at this time in this economy will produce better results than it has in the last several years.
Well first of all what kind of we're kind of spending are we talking about.
We understand and I can see there's a lot of waste in government.
With a waist usually deals in capital intensive standing not in labor intensive we need to get America back to work.
With seven point 9% unemployment is actually higher than that because as your previous guess that people would stop looking for work -- get discouraged.
We need.
To get America back to -- rebuild America's infrastructure -- China has only half the unemployment rate there we have because they're building or infrastructure so let's talk let's talk directly -- a bargain shoppers out there.
I can't think I'm one of them I like to know what I'm getting from my money.
Still -- and invest in.
In the actual.
Employment picture.
How much money -- get -- how many jobs like is there a way to say okay we're gonna spend ten million dollars and that's gonna get us a hundred jobs what what was that like what.
It's already been proven that if you invest in rebuilding infrastructure you create tens of thousands of jobs are based on you know -- -- money that you spend.
I think it's for every billion dollars spent.
We we need -- -- billion dollars in America so billion dollar spent we get us several.
Tens of thousand I don't know the exact the exact number is something I don't have them I think I don't tell you -- NX and rebuild America's infrastructure you put America back to work but the reason I -- and that's our investment business good reason why that's important is because you -- be held accountable for our own investments right so we don't really now.
How many jobs we get for how much money we spend that and how is that a good idea right.
What well I think the I I as I said I think the measures actually -- phone number on I think it's 30000 got a 30000 jobs reach billion invested.
But I'll check and and get back you.
The point is this that we have to get America back to work.
And investment in infrastructure is an investment business.
And when a public private partnership we need tax incentives for businesses to create jobs and we also need investment by the private sector and together we move the economy forward.
Get America back to work and start to create wealth instead of looking at austerity which is not.
What America should ever be about I think a billion dollars for 30000 jobs make sense.
Look are you kidding I mean it kind of waste that we've had where we've blown money.
I'm wars and things that haven't created any jobs we need some productive spending you get America back to work.

How do we figure this out.
Well first of all the Democrats and Republicans have to work together in the interest of the American people.
We see that they're seven point 9% unemployment right now that's not acceptable.
That's a clear example that the policies of the Fed had failed and I think Democrats or Republicans should be able to agree on that.
What we need to do is to move America forward and commit to getting everybody back to work.
Every able bodied Americans should have a job and either the -- the private sector and if we come to an agreement on that as a national policy.
We'll move in the direction of devil we don't have an agreement on that would accept an unemployment.

June 2009
Posted By Caroline Moore On June 8, 2009 @ 10:55 am In | Comments Disabled
Dear Colleagues,
While May was a bittersweet month, ranging from the wonderful Commencement ceremonies to the difficult budget reduction announcement, I am pleased to write to share a few thoughts about the past few weeks at UMaine.
Let me begin by saying how much I appreciate the hard work of all those who had a hand in planning and executing those commencement ceremonies. Wanda Madden-Carr from the provost's office deserves special recognition for overseeing the process, but it takes dozens of people to stage an event of that magnitude and I thank everybody who played some role. I also thank Prof. Louis Hall and the UMaine Ceremonial Brass for the excellent musical accompaniment including, fittingly and for the first time, Aaron Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man," which signaled the entry of the Class of 2009. That was a nice touch, much appreciated by those in attendance, including the graduates.
The Academic Honors Convocation, which precedes commencement by one day, is another annual highlight at UMaine. As always, convocation this year featured recognition of the four winners of the annual top faculty awards. I think that we made four excellent choices this year:
- Prof. James Acheson, UMaine Alumni Association Distinguished Maine Professor
- Dean Kathryn Olmstead, Presidential Public Service Achievement Award
- Prof. Len Kass, Presidential Outstanding Teaching Award
- Prof. Owen Smith, Presidential Research and Creative Services Award
UMaine has an incredible faculty, so we know that those who are chosen for special recognition have done extraordinary work. Similarly, our annual professional and classified staff awards recognize outstanding contributions. I am pleased to recognize those chosen this year for UMaine's outstanding employee awards:
- Doreen Thibodeau, Outstanding Classified Employee Award
- Carol Rickards, Outstanding Classified Employee Award
- Martha Kelly, Outstanding Professional Employee Award
- Nancy Boyington, Outstanding Professional Employee Award
Congratulations to Doreen, Carol, Martha and Nancy on this well-deserved recognition.
Prestigious honors have come to several other members of the UMaine community in recent weeks, as well. A few examples:
- Andrea Hauck and Dominick Varney of UMaine's Explorations Program received Excellence in Advising Awards from the National Association of Academic Advisors at a recent meeting in New York.
- The University of Maine Patrons of the Arts organization honored Collins Center for the Arts Executive Director John Patches with its annual Vincent A. Hartgen Award for outstanding work in advancing the arts at UMaine.
- Catherine Schmitt, communications coordinator at UMaine Sea Grant, received an Association for Communication Excellence (ACE) in Agricultural, Natural Resources, and Life and Human Sciences silver award for her book, "A Coastal Companion: A Gulf of Maine Almanac, from Cape Cod to Canada."
- Prof. Al Bushway from UMaine's Dept. of Food Science and Human Nutrition has been selected as an Institute of Food Technologists Fellow, for his ongoing work in industry collaborations related to food processing and food safety. Nominees to become fellows have usually been IFT members for at least 15 years and have exceptional track records of contributions to the field.
- UMaine history professor Howard Segal has been honored by the Henry Ford Heritage Association with its annual book award for his book, "Recasting the Machine Age: Henry Ford's Village Industries." Howard has also been in demand from the news media to share historical perspectives on the current issues facing the U.S. automotive industry.
- I was also pleased to note that Scott Anchors from the UMaine Business School faculty has been selected as the 2009 recipient of the Association of Psychological Type International's Gordon Lawrence Educational Achievement Award, for his work and research involving the Myers Briggs type Indicator. Scott is a renowned expert on Myers Briggs, and this award recognizes his exceptional work in that area.
Congratulations to Stephen Gilson, professor of interdisciplinary disability studies and social work, for being chosen by the UMaine psychology department to present its first annual Stanley Sue Distinguished Diversity Lecture. Created by the diversity committee in the department's doctoral training program, the lecture honors Stanley Sue, a a University of California-Davis professor recognized as a pioneer in the study of diversity as it relates to clinical psychology.
Mary Cathcart, senior policy associate in UMaine's Margaret Chase Smith Policy Center, was the commencement speaker at the University of Maine at Machias on May 16. I'm told that her talk was excellent and that the UMM graduates really appreciated her insights. Mary, a former State Senator representing the Orono area, is also heading up an interesting summer initiative at UMaine, providing education and experiences for college women who may be interested in political service. UMM also honored Mary with its 2009 Distinguished Achievement Award.
Two groups of UMaine business students are just back from trips abroad, where they had opportunities to learn about international business and culture. One group, led by Dean John Mahon, visited Russia while a second contingent, with professors Rick Borgman and Paul Myer, traveled to Japan. Late in June, a contingent of MBA students will travel with Prof. Harold Daniel to study eco-tourism in Brazil's Amazon basin. Each of these trips features an opportunity for the students to spend time with UMaine alumni who hold high-ranking professional positions in the countries they're visiting. Photos and informative blogs from the Russia and Japan trips are online at http://mbs.maine.edu/~mba_msa/ [1].
I'll conclude this month's message with an item that pleases me greatly. At its most recent meeting, the Board of Trustees approved the appointment of Anne Pooler to serve as College of Education and Human Development dean. Anne has served as interim dean since 2007, and I am delighted that she will continue in that important role. Anne is a Brewer native with two graduate degrees from UMaine, and she joined the faculty in 1976. She is an extraordinarily capable leader who has been a cornerstone of the UMaine academic community for many years. I am certain that
she will be a most effective dean, and I look forward to continuing to work with her in that capacity.
I hope each of you is looking forward to the warm weather and a beautiful Maine summer.
Bob Kennedy

Murray, James
James Murray 1837-1915
(Born James Augustus Henry Murray) Scottish linguist, philologist and lexicographer.
Murray holds a unique place in the history of the English language. He was the principal editor of a vast dictionary recording historical usage of English words dating back to the mid-twelfth century and beyond. This work became the Oxford English Dictionary, the most authoritative text extant on the English language. In addition to this decades-long project, which he had not yet completed on his death, Murray published several works exploring the development and different dialects within English. Himself holding only honorary university degrees, Murray was primarily responsible for the acceptance of modern language studies as part of the university curriculum.
Biographical Information
Murray was born on February 7, 1837, in Denholm, Scotland. The son of a linen manufacturer, Murray was largely self-educated. Adept at learning various languages, Murray had become headmaster of a local academy by the age of twenty-one. He later moved to London on account of his wife's health and took work in a bank. There he met members of the London Philological Society, which had for years been engaged in compiling a new English dictionary. Since the previous editor had died, Murray put forth a new plan for the project, seeking to ground the work in strict principles of historical precedent and accuracy. The project continued to languish for some years. Meanwhile Murray published several works on English usage, development, and dialect, including a famous article for the Encyclopedia Britannica. In 1879, Murray, now president of the Philological Society and master at the Mill Hill private school, was asked to take over as chief editor of A New English Dictionary on Historical Principles. In 1884, the first installment appeared. In 1885, having been awarded a pension, Murray moved to Oxford to devote all his energies to the dictionary. He continued this work for the rest of his life, seeing about half the original project (slated to include six volumes of 1400 pages each but still continuing in various supplements) to publication. He was knighted in 1908. Murray died on July 26, 1915.
Major Works
Early in his career Murray wrote a number of short works, which at the time were considered to be important contributions to the scientific study of modern languages and dialects. Once in London Murray turned to the history of languages, editing works for the Early English Text Society. Despite the importance attached to these works at the time by students of the English language, it was as editor of A New English Dictionary on Historical Principles that Murray made his lasting contribution to the study of English and other modern languages. The dictionary sought to provide authoritative definitions that were not merely supplemented by, but rather grew out of historical examples drawn from literature. Millions of quotations were compiled and organized to show changes in words' usage over time. The result was an exhaustive history of every word known to have been in use after the year 1150; a compilation that became, on its publication, the standard reference work for all students and scholars of the English language.
Critical Reception
Murray's contributions to the creation of The Oxford English Dictionary are considered to be astounding. He established the standards and editorial models used in the dictionary for years to come. Murray's method of reading quotations to obtain meaning is still used today as one of the principal methods of assembling material for revising the dictionary.
Principal Works
The Complaynt of Scotlande [editor] (nonfiction) 1549
Dialect of the Southern Counties of Scotland (nonfiction) 1868
Synopsis of Paley's Horae Paulinae (nonfiction) 1872
*A New English Dictionary on Historical Principles [editor] (nonfiction) 1884-1915
*In 1933 the dictionary was officially renamed The Oxford English Dictionary.

[In the following review, Garnett compares and contrasts Murray's A New English Dictionary on Historical Principles to An Anglo-Saxon Dicitonary, finding Murray's work the more valuable.]
English lexicography is at last beginning to receive the attention it deserves and requires. The publication of the works above mentioned [An Anglo-Saxon Dicitonary and A New English Dictionary on Historical Principles], of the second especially, will carry beyond the narrow circle of scholars the much-needed public information that the English language has a history, a history which every English-speaking man and woman should know; and that the English language did not begin with Shakspere, nor even with Chaucer—an old story, but one hitherto much neglected. Prof. Toller has done well to re-edit Bosworth's Anglo-Saxon Dictionary, first published in 1838,—how well, critics are still engaged in discussing. That the work needed re-editing no one will deny. Every Anglo-Saxon scholar has long felt the want of such a dictionary. The original work has been long out of print, and even if accessible, could not answer the demands of modern scholarship. Bosworth's Compendious Anglo-Saxon and English Dictionary (1860) is too meagre to serve...

[In the following review of A New English Dictionary on Historical Principles, Wells praises the breadth of Murray's endeavor, but finds that Murray sometimes sacrifices accuracy in favor of originality.]
The age of Elizabeth has been called the Golden Age of English Literature, and that of Queen Anne the Augustan Age. In the absence of other special characteristics to distinguish the present period in Great Britain, we may apply a less euphonious title and call it the Age of Dictionaries. We have had dictionary periods before, but the immediate present is prolific beyond all precedent. The new edition of The Imperial, enlarged by Annandale, was completed a little more than a year ago; the Encyclopædic Dictionary, now in course of publication, is cast in a still larger mould; and Stormonth's Library Dictionary, also in course of publication, is another aspirant in the same field. And now the Philological Society of London, after twenty-seven years of encouragement and discouragement, of progress and delay, has given us the First Part of the New [English] Dictionary on Historical Principles, [hereafter abbreviated as New Dictionary] a work that in its plan and scope distances every other dictionary of the language hitherto attempted.

[In the following essay, the critic unfavorably compares James Wilson's Lowland Scotch to what the critic considers the superior work, Murray's Account of the Dialect of the Southern Counties of Scotland.]
It is now more than a generation since Sir James A. H. Murray, in his Account of the Dialect of the Southern Counties of Scotland, laid the foundation for the scientific study of the Scottish dialects. He hoped that similar studies would be made of at least the seven or eight main dialects, and that thus material would be collected for a new and complete Scots dictionary. Something has indeed been done since, and the Scottish Branch of the English Association has set about preparing the dictionary; but until the appearance of Sir James Wilson's volume, Lowland Scotch, as spoken in the Lower Strathearn District of Perthshire, no worthy second in the series so admirably started by Murray had been published. It is none too soon; for, while workers are slowly being equipped, the dialects are degenerating and many of their most interesting features are passing away. The special dialect studied by Sir James Wilson is spoken on that part of the Highland border which lies along the valley of the Earn, with its centre in the town of Dunning. For the recording of the speech of this locality, the...

[In the following review of K. M. Elisabeth Murray's Caught in the Web of Words: James Murray and the Oxford English Dictionary, Burgess expresses an appreciation for James Murray's modern approach to language.]
When Becky Sharp threw away her copy of Johnson's Dictionary—Miss Pinkerton's invariable gift to her departing students—it was not the least of her gestures in the direction of modernity. That book was a dog walking on its hind legs and, moreover, walking backwards. It tried to fix standards of usage in terms of the undefiled wells from which writers from Sir Philip Sidney to the Restoration drank; it wanted to make a closed garden of the English lexis; it prescribed as well as described. It was also more of an autobiography than a work of lexicography. It was decidedly not a dictionary for the scientific age that would start to bloom after Waterloo. Noah Webster in America (starting in 1828), Charles Richardson in England (1836-37), Joseph Worcester (1846 and 1860) again in America—all learned from Johnson what not to be, namely subjective and quirky, but they learnt too that no scholarly dictionary—as opposed to the pocket word-list you bought for a penny—could do its work without ample citation. This was Johnson's real achievement, the provision of...

[In the following essay, Bell recounts Murray's efforts to compile and publish the Oxford English Dictionary.]
Caught in the web of words: James Murray and the Oxford English dictionary, K M Elisabeth Murray's biography of her grandfather (Murray 1977), was reviewed by The Times as describing 'how a largely self-educated boy from a small village in Scotland entered the world of scholarship and became the first editor of the Oxford English dictionary, and a lexicographer greater by far than Dr Johnson'. It makes fascinating reading, especially for indexers, who likewise deal with lists of words alphabetically ordered and glossed—but individually on so much smaller a scale, and with so much latter-day technological assistance. 'A magnificent story of a magnificent man', Anthony Burgess called it.
Murray was born in 1837 in Denholm, in the Scottish Teviot Valley, a son of of the village tailor. He was brought up strictly in the Congregationalist church, and sent at the age of seven to the first of three local schools. He left the last school at fourteen for a period of odd jobs and study. His self-teaching was intensive, particularly in languages.

Bl4cKsM1Th | #64 Subject: For better? Or for worse? Posted: 04/11/2005 01:11:00 |
For some reason, I think the GW Beta (Not the BWE) in '04 was better than it is now, could be because my characters (Males) are running around in skirts, or those annoying bots they have for the "CoOp" levels. It seems harder to group, now that they implemented the bots instead of having to find a group to go with. In my opinion, it makes the game less fun or strategic. Still a good game though, and dont think Im not gonna get GW, still one of the best games around IMO.
So, with that being said, what do you all think? Are these changes making this game better? Or are there some changes that are annoying you in some way? |

I was wondering how good your graphics card needs to be to play this so if someone could give me specs or a general idea that would be great. I am going to be a primary Elemantalist and a secondary Mesmer. I'm going to be a magic power house.
Devil Z | #82 Subject: Type of Graphics Card question Posted: 04/22/2005 14:52:51 |
You don't really need a monster graphics card to play the game. I have a middle of the road Radeon 9250 and I can play it at 1024x768 with all the settings high without a problem, although turning on AA does slow it down it a bit.
The minumum graphics card are a Radeon 8500 or Geforce 3 or 4 MX cards. I wouldn't recomment it though since you wouldn't be able to enjoy the impressive graphics. |
SilentScope8... | #83 Subject: Random Comments Posted: 04/22/2005 22:17:35 |
well, I'm running GW on a 9800 Pro and it is running so fluidly on my comp (jeez, I love the graphics). But my friend has a lower end card and it still works quite well. So for all of you who think that your computer doesn't have what it takes to run this game, reconsider that. You'd be surprised. Second, after the last beta, I can still say that I am still absolutely loving this game. Sure, there may have been some differences in the game's interface since last time, but it's nothing too complicated and is very easy to become aquainted with. But damn character swipe. I had my character all created and everything, but now, for some alien reason, he's been changed physically so he's now bald and I think he has a different face. Crap, and I don't want to start a new character, so I guess I'll just have to get used to him. Finally, let me say that I am eagerly looking forward to GW's release. Needless to say, I think I'm gonna spend some quality time with my comp once I get it. Oh, and if any guilds out there are looking for a sword for hire, here I am. Lance Stormwind. Warrior/Necromancer. Any takers? Just drop me a line and I'll get back to you. Anyways, enjoy this game everyone. It's sure to be one crazy ride the whole way through

Thanks for info but the only thing is that i can't find my current card on my computer. Can you please tell me where i should go from the Start menu.
SilentScope8... | #85 Subject: How to: Find a Graphics Card Posted: 04/23/2005 19:53:05 |
Alright, here's how you can find out how to find what graphics card your comp is running.
1. Go to Start 2. Go to Control Panel 3. Click on Appearance and Themes 4. Click on Display 5. Select Settings 6. In the little box in this window, it should say what graphics card is being used. I hope this helps everyone. Oh, and if that wasn't enough, if you're not quite certain as to what GW needs to run, here's the game's requirments: Windows 98/ME/200/XP Pentium 3 @ 800 Mhz 256 MB RAM 500 MB Hard Drive Space Radeon 8500 or GeForce 3 or 4 MX series graphics Pretty simple, huh? |

Lets see, an MX 440...hmm...it should work. If you have doubts though, just put it through a little test. Download the doom 3 demo and if you can get it to run (reguardless of frame rate) then yes, it can run GW But yeah, I think you should be fine. Good luck though

The number of members just keep going up and now we have 90. I was also wondering if anyone here tried t play this game on a ATI Radeon 9600 and if so did it work well with this game. And since there is no way i can get this game untill i get a new card would people post their comments on this game and whether or not the final product lives up to the hype.

Published: 2/22/2013 10:34 PM | Last update: 2/23/2013 12:41 AM 1 Salthawk still flying3 Hutch wrestlers fall as Plummer moves to semis, thrice-beaten opponent.WICHITA - Lex Plummer won two matches on Friday - the only Hutchinson wrestler to make through into the winner's bracket.
He scored a combined one takedown in two matches. He went to sudden-death overtime in both matches. And somehow he lived to tell about it. "It feels awesome," said Plummer, who has seen nine of his matches go to overtime this season. "I lost early last year and wanted to come here and make up for that. I have improved a lot since then." Plummer will meet Derby's Matt Kissinger in today's 9 a.m. semifinal at Hartman Arena. He has beaten Kissinger three times in four matches this year - and a fourth victory would put him into the afternoon finals. He is the lone Salthawk still alive for a title. Before he took to the mat, three Hutch wrestlers - Jared Page, Dominique Hoover and Darryon Cushinberry all suffered losses by pins. It got worse when heavyweight Marc Saffle lost in overtime after getting taken down with 2 seconds to go in the first overtime period. "If he doesn't get taken down, we win that match," said Hutchinson coach Mike Garcia. Now it's on Plummer to carry the torch for the Salthawks. He's going to have to find a way to create some offense, though. "In the 220-pound class, there are a lot of guys with big hands," he said. "It's hard to get them to the mat." The positive to all of this is that Plummer is hard to score on, too. "He just doesn't give up very many points," Garcia said. "But he's going to have to start opening up. He'd be a lot better if he scored some takedowns." Plummer won a 4-1 overtime decision over Wichita East's Teryn Brown and followed that up with a 3-2 victory over Armando Contreras. "This is state," he said. "You do what you have to do to win." Saffle was crestfallen after the loss. He was penalized a point in the early rounds for rough play and it proved to be costly. "It was the right call," Garcia said. "I can't argue with it." Getting taken down so late in the overtime period was fatal. "I overcompensated," he said. "I wanted to make sure I didn't get taken down and I overcompensated."
Garden City has the team lead after two rounds.
