UBS consumption indicator sluggish
While UBS anticipates an acceleration in consumption in 2012 compared with last year, the UBS consumption indicator suffered in February a further slight decline. Nevertheless, the indicator remains above the lows of last autumn.
Zurich/Basel, 27 March 2012 – In February, the UBS consumption indicator declined slightly for the second month in a row. At 0.87 points, however, it is still above the lows of last autumn. The increase in the registration of new cars and the slight improvement in the consumer sentiment index impacted the consumption indicator positively, but this was more than offset by the negative effect of the other sub-indicators.
The most recent estimates issued by the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (Seco) show that private consumption accelerated steadily throughout last year: from +0.1 percent in the first quarter of 2011 to +0.4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2011 (adjusted for seasonal effects and inflation, quarter-on-quarter). As such, consumption developed conversely to the economy as a whole, which grew by 0.4% in the first quarter and fell to 0.1% in the fourth quarter. In its anti-cyclical behavior, private consumption made an important contribution to stabilizing the economy and prevented it from slipping into recession in the fourth quarter.
Due to better-than-expected economic figures of the fourth quarter of 2011 and the slight brightening of the global economy, UBS revised its growth forecast for Switzerland upwards in mid-March – economic growth of 0.9 percent is now anticipated for 2012 as a whole (previously: 0.4 percent). Low interest rates, continued immigration and falling consumer prices will all give fresh impetus to private consumption this year. At an expected level of growth of 1.2%, private consumption is likely to make an above average contribution to economic growth in the current year.
UBS Consumption Indicator and private consumption in Switzerland
(Private consumption: year-on-year change, in %; UBS Consumption Indicator: index level)
Calculation of the UBS Consumption Indicator
The UBS Consumption Indicator signals private consumption trends in Switzerland with a lead time of about three months on the official figures. At roughly 60%, private consumption is by far the most important component of Swiss GDP. UBS calculates this leading indicator from five consumer-related parameters: new car registrations, business activity in the retail sector, the number of domestic overnight hotel stays by Swiss residents, the consumer sentiment index, and credit card transactions made via UBS at points of sale in Switzerland. With the exception of the consumer sentiment index, all of this data is available monthly.

What does the American dream mean today? For Niko Bellic fresh off the boat from Europe, it is the hope he can escape from his past. For his cousin, Roman, it is the vision that together they can find fortune in Liberty City, gateway to the land of opportunity. As they slip into debt and get dragged into a criminal underworld by a series of shysters, thieves and sociopaths, they discover that the reality is very different from the dream in a city that worships money and status, and is heaven for those who have them and a living nightmare for those who don't.

Medial knee pain is pain that occurs on the inner side of the knee and can be due to a number of problems.
It may come on gradually over time or may develop suddenly after a knee injury. There may be a general inner knee pain, movement may be restricted or there may be a sharp pain.
It is very common to get pain on the medial side of the knee,
because muscle weakness and/or tightness (which is very common) can
subtly change the way the knee moves. This causes more force to go
through the inner side of the joint, rather than distributing weight
evenly through the whole joint, which results in damage to the inner
side of the knee and therefore medial knee pain.
Here you will find a summary of the three most common causes of medial knee pain. Use the links to find out more about each condition including symptoms and treatment options for each. If you want more help working out what is wrong with your knee, visit the knee pain diagnosis section.
What is it: Damage to some or all of the fibres of the medial collateral ligament on the inner side of the knee
Onset: Sudden onset due to a force through the outside of the leg e.g. tackle, or sudden twisting of the knee e.g. skiing
Symptoms: Inner knee pain, swelling, bruising, instability, stiffness
Aggravating Activities: Bending the leg, walking, stairs, sports
Features: There are three grades of MCL tear, depending on how severely you have damaged the ligament
Treatment Options: PRICE, knee brace, exercises
Find out more about MCL Tears
What is it: A tear in the cartilage lining on the inner side of the knee joint, known as the meniscus
Onset: Can occur suddenly with a force through the knee, sudden twisting of the knee or gradually through wear and tear
Symptoms: Medial knee pain, swelling, locking, instability, difficulty straightening the leg
Aggravating Activities: Walking, running, squatting, stairs especially going up
Features: There are four types of meniscus tear depending on how the cartilage has torn
Treatment: PRICE, exercises, surgery
Find out more about Meniscus Tears
What is it: Wear and tear most commonly to the cartilage lining the medial side of the joint
Onset: Symptoms gradually come on over time. Most common over the age of 50.
Symptoms: Morning stiffness, inside knee pain, swelling, clicking/grinding, reduced leg movements
Aggravating Activities: Worse after prolonged rest or activity, cold weather
Features: There are three classification stages of osteoarthritis, mild, moderate and severe based on how badly the joint is affected.
Treatment: Depends on the severity but arthritis treatments include exercises, medication, heat/ice, acupuncture, injections and knee braces
Find out more about Arthritis
To find out more about these common causes of medial knee pain, choose from the links above.
However, be aware that just because there is inner knee pain, doesn't necessarily mean the problem is on the inner side of the joint. Pain can refer to different places so for example a problem above the joint can produce a feeling of inside knee pain.
If your pain doesn't sound quite like any of these problems, visit the Common Causes of Knee Pain section to find out about the most common knee problems.
Alternatively, if would like some guidance with working out what is causing your problem, visit the knee pain diagnosis section for help.
Remember, you should always see a doctor with any new onset of pain.

Jets And Turboprops Buyer's Guide 2014
Jet-A dream machines for 2014
With first deliveries scheduled for around the first of the year, the Citation M2 brings new life to the successful CJ1+ airframe while creating an obvious step-up path for Mustang owners. Winglets and other aerodynamic improvements with new William FJ44-1AP-21 engines produce a maximum cruise speed of 400 KTAS with a range of 1,300 nm. The M2 can climb directly to its ceiling of FL410 in only 24 minutes, while operating out of runways as short as 3,250 feet (SL BFL at MTOW). Full fuel payload is 700 pounds, with seating for up to seven and maximum baggage capacity up to 725 pounds. The cabin features a fully enclosed rear lavatory, fully adjustable leather seating and the optional Heads Up "Clairity" integrated audio/video entertainment system.
Options also include provisions for both global and domestic inflight Internet service. The cockpit has been optimized for accessibility, comfort and convenience, including ample storage space for iPads and phones along with USB charging ports. The panel features the three-screen Garmin G3000 Intrinzic avionics package with dual touch-screen keypads. The WAAS-certified G3000 includes split-screen capability, advanced vertical navigation capabilities, standby flight plans and advanced FMS features. Base Price: $4.4 million. Contact: www.cessna.com and www.citationjetpilots.com.
Eclipse Aerospace reached a big milestone with the first customer delivery of a new fully certified EA-550 during NBAA in October 2013. With the ability to climb directly to FL410, the EA-550 will cruise at 375 KTAS while burning a total of only 59 gph. That makes it the most efficient and operationally economical twin jet on the market. Fill the tanks with 251 gallons, and you can transport 636 pounds at 1,125 nm with NBAA IFR reserves. The EA-550 can get in and out of a 2,790-foot field (clearing a 50-foot obstacle), and features anti-skid brakes for powerful stopping power. The interior features five leather seats in a number of different color themes with a dedicated 16-cubic-foot baggage area located inside the pressure bulkhead behind the seats.
Up front, the panel sports the Avio IFMS avionics suite supplied by Innovative Solutions & Support (IS&S). The Avio system ranks among the most technologically advanced cockpits anywhere. It features dual FMS panels, full system synoptics along with support for integrated auto throttles, synthetic vision and EVS (enhanced vision system). Numerous options let customers customize each airplane according to their needs. Base Price: $2.7 million. Contact: www.eclipse.aero and www.eclipse500club.org.
Embraer Phenom
The 2014 Phenom 100 includes a number of new options and features. Multifunction spoilers now provide speed brake and lift dump capability, making speed control in the air and on the ground easier than ever. There are also 11 new interior themes to choose from. Reclining premium seats that allow swiveling and lateral adjustment are another new option. Buyers can also choose between a number of refreshment and storage cabinet options. With its six-to-eight-place interior, the Phenom 100 is an entry-level jet with more than entry-level performance. P&WC PW617F-E engines with 1,615 pounds of thrust help produce a top speed of 390 KTAS. Fill the tanks with 419 gallons of Jet A, load up 780 pounds of payload, climb directly to the maximum certified altitude of FL410, and the Phenom 100 can cover up to 1,178 nm with 100 nm NBAA reserves. Seventy-three cubic feet of dedicated cargo space provides plenty of room for bags. A fully enclosed rear lav adds to the big airplane feel.
Up front, the easily accessible cockpit features the Garmin G1000 Prodigy flight deck with three 12.4-inch screens. Onboard weather radar, XM weather, charts, TWAS, WAAS capability, system synoptic displays and traffic alerting all make single-pilot operations safe and manageable. Wing and tail deice boots provide ice protection. The Phenom 100 features numerous standard features like LED lighting, trailing link gear, low carbon emissions and brake-by-wire anti-lock braking. Base Price (2014): $4.1 million; typically equipped, $4.4 million. Contact: www.embraerexecutivejets.com and www.phenom.aero.
With first deliveries now predicted toward the end of 2014, the HondaJet has been a long time in the making—but it just might be worth the wait. Honda may be new to the aviation market, but they aren't new to engineering excellence, quality control and customer support—and Honda has the means to get it right. The six-to-seven-seat HondaJet features a top speed of 420 knots (at FL300), a maximum certified ceiling of FL430 and a 1,180 nm range with NBAA IFR reserve.
The FADEC-controlled, Honda, 2,050-pound thrust, HF 120 engines were developed in partnership with GE and are mounted on the top of each wing to increase cabin space and quiet the ride. The highly efficient engines coupled with laminar flow wings and nose help make the HondaJet the most fuel-efficient aircraft in its class. Takeoff distance is less than 4,000 feet, and landing distance is less than 3,000 feet. External baggage volume is a generous 66 cubic feet. Up front, the HondaJet features the three-screen Garmin G3000 avionics suite. Payload data hasn't been released yet. Base Price (2014) $4.5 million. Contact: www.hondajet.honda.com.

I'Ll Have What She's Having
By Manduka Ambassador Patti Cocciolo
What kind of crazy person decides to become a yoga teacher at 42? Apparently this kind of crazy person does. But to be fair, it was years in the making.
In 2004, I was just a few months pregnant with my first son when I walked into a prenatal yoga class in Mill Valley, California. I was nervous about everything at that point – the changes to my body, my relationship, and my career. I was also completely terrified that I would do something to harm the tiny being growing inside me. As I unrolled my mat, I was immediately struck by how calm all the women were. They seemed to have none of the fear that was controlling my every move. They were grounded and peaceful. They moved about the room fluidly, seemingly unencumbered by their giant, round bellies. They were laughing quietly and smiling. They were gorgeous.
Then our teacher arrived. She looked like an angel to me, with blue eyes that met each student with love. From our first encounter, I imagined that scene from When Harry Met Sally…. "I'll have what she's having." She was, like her students, grounded…yet floating. Over the course of the next hour and a half, she gently guided all of us – from first trimester newbies to full term mamas – through a series of poses designed to put us in touch with the power of our bodies, and specifically, to put is in touch with the power of the prana coursing through our veins. I was hooked.
Two trimesters flew by, and I became one of those mamas. I felt both steady and nimble. I gained more weight than I know (I stopped counting after a certain point…), and yet I felt light as a feather. But more importantly, I wasn't freaked out anymore. As important as the benefits to my body were, the benefits to my mind and my spirit were literally life changing. What a wonderful gift that is to give someone: to teach them how to use the body to open the spirit. That is some powerful stuff. I thought to myself, what a wonderful way to make a living, to impart peace and calm and kindness into the world – one person at a time.
Many years, another son, and a move to Los Angeles later, I finally did something about that long nascent thought. Six years after donating my beaten-up old mat to Goodwill, I took a yoga class. And while the room was different, and the practice was different, I had the same wonderful feeling I had all those years ago: I'll have what these people are having.
I immediately signed up for an intensive, four-week 200-hour teacher training. (Ok, to clarify, I am also a person who signed up for a marathon as a way to lose my last bit of baby weight…) It was the hardest, most terrifying, humbling thing I have ever done. I was the second oldest person in the room. I was a marathon runner, but I was waaaaay out of yoga shape. My ego was taking a serious beating. I was missing my children terribly. Yet as hard as it was, something kept me there. And it was this: not only was I getting back in touch with my practice, I loved teaching. I was finally living my secret dream to follow in the steps of my yoga teacher from all those years ago. I was in heaven.
It's been two years since I finished that training, and I'm now a yoga teacher. Our family has moved back to Marin County, and I often teach in the very same rooms where my teacher first inspired me to make yoga a way of life. I am grateful to all the teachers who supported, loved and inspired me along the way. But every day, I think about you, Zoe Collier Rolland, and how you completely changed my life. Thanks for giving me some of what you were having, and allowing me to indulge. I'll do my best to pay it forward.

Letting Go
By Manduka Ambassador, Dana Damara
With this season change I am again reminded of the law of impermanence. Nothing stays the same. Nothing. As I watch the leaves turn, and feel the change in the air, I quickly remember that we are no different than the trees and we too yearn to flow with nature and its' faith in what is.
This past summer I moved my children from the Pacific Northwest to live with me in Northern California. And while my ex-husband and I both knew that theoretically, this was for the best, it still sidelines us every now and again. The longer nights will certainly give us all an opportunity to go inward and take inventory with what just happened!
All summer we played, we hiked, met new people and enjoyed each other. Being the momma bear that I am, I strived to make things as "normal" as possible for them. But the reality was that it wasn't normal; the minute they stepped foot on California soil, everything changed. Some days that change is like a gentle breeze that blows through our life. And on other days it's like a tsunami and we all get pummeled to the ground.
As I watch them navigate new friends, new schedules, new sports teams, new EVERYTHING … I am proud of them. Their openness, strength, and honesty, their trust in me and in their dad, and their trust in this Universe inspires me. But even the bravest of souls cry out when things get a bit like a dust storm.
It's change … it's transformation… it's NEW. Some of us thrive in it and some of us hunker down, clinging to what was because it's familiar and feels comfortable. Now to be fair, transformation and change, letting go, doesn't have to be a radical event. You can let go of something small … you can change your life 2 degrees and create a brand new path for yourself.
I guess the depth of your change depends on just how much you have accumulated and how much you cling to stuff… people or even ideas…
So how do you navigate through change and letting go – especially when it involves other people?
1. Just sit. Sit in the uncomfortable-ness. Sit in the grief, the pain, the fear … feel all of it. Just be with it all because it will move through you. Don't try to fix anything and don't try to stuff it down.
2. Appreciate. Look outside your box of life and see what's waiting for you to embrace, to love, to cherish and to be grateful for. Sometimes we cling so desperately to what we thought was ours, we miss out on what's sitting there, just waiting to be recognized.
3. Look for the lesson. And there is one… for your growth and evolution.
4. Let go of Scarcity. Subscribe to the belief that there is enough… enough money, enough time, enough love… enough of everything and when you let go, more will come. It's a law.
5. Let go Gracefully … with love, gratitude and compassion for what was (even if it hurts), what is and then be open to the miracle of what comes next.
6. Trust. Trust that the Universe is handing you everything you need but if your hands are full you can't receive right?
So after your tantrum of wanting something and not getting it, wishing circumstances were different or trying to change things to your liking. After the tears have subsided, take a breath and look around you. Be with what is … be in your stuff and you will witness such beauty and grace it will astound you.

Finding Balance And Self-Care During A Detox
In the past I always went through this journey of dieting like I was losing my best friend. It often began with the "taking away" of something, in my case delicious treats. I love food, I love to cook and I love to eat…but I also love being healthy. I started to find that every time I would diet or detox I went into this militant mode of "I WILL NOT EAT ANYTHING Bad" as my mantra. I would approach it almost as a punishment for "eating bad". I thought that self-care would come naturally with dieting since it was in the best interest of your body. Right? Well, It took me a long while to figure out that was not entirely accurate. The energy we give to our food and to ourselves was a bigger culprit to your overall healthy then just eating salad.
I recently led a detox workshop, which I do four times a year seasonally. We all join together to clean and renew and find balance internally and externally. It is so much fun to do this as a group, to that the support of our sangha. I can't stress enough how important it is during this time to be gentle and caring with our bodies and our thoughts.
A few days ago one of my students who is currently doing the detox came to my morning class, she was clearly very anxious and approached me right before we started. She was feeling terrible because she had a little sugar "slip up" during the detox. She proceeded telling me how she wanted to have a hard and sweaty class because she felt guilty. I stopped at that moment and thought, this sounds oddly familiar. So it's not enough that she already feels guilty because of the minor slip up, but now she wants to make her body pay for it? Instantly being able to relate, we spoke about this briefly and instead decided to do some restorative asana postures instead of going into a vigorous practice. She realized how much more this benefited her body and her state of mind and she left feeling totally elated.
I'm not sure exactly what happens to us when we get into this mode of self-punishment when things go astray, especially when it comes to eating and food. I feel that with all the time that has gone by, and all the studying I have done… this is still a difficult habit break free from even for me. I have to constantly remind myself that IT IS OK to enjoy the things life has to offer, like chocolate and nut butter…in moderation of course. It isn't the end of the world if there is a minor speed bump along the way. Self-punishment is clearly not the answer and it negates all the other work we do to make us pretty incredible human beings. Then there's that!
Using our energy to feel good when you're doing something great for your health like a detox. Taking care of yourself is a practice, being compassionate to yourself is a practice. Finding balance when your making a change in your life can be challenging but it does make it easier when you have the support of your community to help you. That being said, here is a truly delicious recipe for us to without feeling guilty.
Vegan Chocolate Ginger Orange Cupcakes (YUMMMM!)
Serves 12 Large Cupcakes
3 cups all purpose flour (organic unbleached if you have it)
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups natural cane sugar
1 2/3 cups water (or cold freshly brewed coffee)
1 cup canola oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
4 tablespoons zested orange peel
1 tablespoon orange juice
4 tablespoons cider vinegar
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix all dry ingredients and whisk to combine. Add water, oil, vanilla, orange juice, ginger and orange peel. Stir to combine. Add vinegar and stir quickly together. Once the mix turns slightly dark then you know you've incorporated all the vinegar and you're set to pour it into muffin tins or even two cake pans. Bake for 15 minutes for a medium sized cupcake. Allow sitting in pan for 5 minutes, removing and placing on wire rack until completely cool.
Ingredients (for frosting):
6 oz. vegan cream cheese
1/4 cup vegan butter
2-3 tbsp shortening
3 tbsp limoncello
1/2 tsp lemon extract
1 tsp lemon zest
3 cups powdered sugar
crystallized ginger, to taste, minced, to top
Recipe (for frosting):
Combine all ingredients but ginger and mix well. It shouldn't have a soupy consistency. If it does, add more sugar. I like to place it in the refrigerator to firm it up before I frost.

Commitment And Dedication
By Manduka Ambassador, Dana Damara
I wrote about this in my book, "OMs from the Mat" and when I re-read it this past week, it made even more sense to me.
I said something like, "If commitment is such a strong word, I wonder why we sometimes use it so loosely." And then I went on to say, "Even if you have to just pick one thing… pick it and be committed to it! No matter what it is.. .a yoga class, a person, your word, just do it!"
Since moving to California back in November 2012, nothing has rang more true to me in my life. Nothing.
Amidst the most AMAZING opportunities of this big move…(and I mean it… magic occurs every, single day) I have also experienced mass confusion, dead-ends, fearful situations, lonely times and deep pain.
Betcha didn't know that did you? Well, it's true.
What I have found through all of this is that I have one strong commitment that's kept me going. There have been times when I have wanted to give up, run back to Portland and cuddle next to a fire with a friend…claiming "safe".
That would be easy to do any day of the week, given that I have amazing friends in the Northwest. But I haven't. I've been committed and dedicated to my practice. And I'm not talking about my practice on the mat. I'm not talking about my sequencing or playlists, although they do play an important role.
And oddly, I'm not talking about the commitment I made to my two amazing daughters either. No, that's not the commitment I am talking about. I am talking about the commitment I made to myself to live my truth. Because I know, as well as you do that truth=freedom=love.
When we make a commitment to ourselves, we may THINK it's about: making money for our family, showing up our best for our students, helping the planet, serving our employer… but it's not any of that. It's about YOU.
The evolution of YOU and how YOU grow and elevate your spiritual being.
It's super easy to give up just before that breakthrough. You know what I am talking about right? It's that last straw, that final argument, the repeating dead-end. It's that moment when you scream and say, "Screw it! I give! That's it! I'm done!"
Have you ever done that? My suggestion to you from personal experience, having said those words in my life more than I care to admit, is to instead… breathe and keep going. You are almost there.
Now I'm not saying keep on taking what isn't working. What I am saying is notice. Observe what is happening in as many exchanges as possible.
When you feel that recurring uncomfortable knot in your stomach, or tightness in your throat, breathe. Maybe you just feel "off". Use the element of the heart and breathe into the belly. Root into your feet and feel it all…if only for 5 breaths. Then ask, what can I do differently in this situation, instead of walking away. What can I commit to right now that will keep me on the path of self-evolution?
Is it patience? Compassion? Trust? Love? Self-love? Knowing what it is that YOU, your soul, is working on to grow is key here. Once you get that, oh my, you will see so many circumstances coming up for you that will assist in your dedication and commitment to moving past it. It might feel like you are getting a bit bombarded to be honest, but you will be okay…once you know it's all there to help you.
We all have recurring issues or stories. Before you keep telling the same story over and over again, keep quiet and observe. Commit to rolling out your mat, look at yourself and really see what is happening off your mat. Commit to hanging with that challenging pose, that perplexing relationship, that "tough time" and roll through it differently… it's showing up for a reason.

Going There
By Manduka Ambassador Caleb Asch
I've been privileged to be teaching yoga since 1995. I do it because I love it. I love almost everything about it; everything except the numbers. Let's face it, the numbers game is the bottom line for a yoga studio. If you don't have the numbers then they get someone who can.
The student base determines a studio's life. So how do you face your numbers and yet maintain your focus on what you're teaching? I've been engaged in this paradox for a long time. I've seen what I thought to be really good teachers have really bad numbers, and give it up. I mean, at a certain point you have to self assess and look out into the world to see if what you're doing (or being) has value for people. One way to determine that is to look to see who and how many are in your classes. Are the numbers growing? Is the feedback you're getting positive? What adjustments could you make? All of these criteria are important but what do they mean?
I have wrestled with this for almost 20 years, and the truth for me wasn't the truth at all! For me, the fewer people I had in my room meant the more I sucked at being a teacher. It didn't matter that my feedback was brilliant and wonderful. I would get lavish praise, smile and say thank you while thinking; "if you REALLY liked my class then why don't you come more often and even bring your friends." The truth for me was that I sucked as a teacher, "I don't deserve to have a following and I should just give up (what's become my life's work) and go back to post-production".
Finally, during a conversation with an old friend, (who goes way back with me to the earlier days of the "EST" consciousness movements) who asked me; "Let me get this straight; who you are as a teacher, with all these 20 years of experience, is TOTALLY dependent on the number of people in your room?"
At this point we both burst into laughter because my answer was a resounding "YES! That is EXACTLY what I'm saying!"
Finally it was funny. Finally, I could see how I had made it all up in my head. I had made up a belief that some outside, physical result determines who I am. That, if I had a certain amount of people show up then I am a winner, if not then I am a loser! They say that awareness is, in itself, curative, and in this case, hilarious. I could finally see and laugh at the corner I had painted myself into.
Since that conversation I have observed in myself an un-attachment to my numbers, and therefore freedom from them. Gone is the stress of measuring up. Gone is the anxiety of new schedules! Gone is the anger and frustration of helpless victimhood to the numbers! Gone is the desperate struggle to control what I have absolutely no control over.
What remains is my love for the work. What remains is the confidence I have in what I do and, and for the first time, the way that I do it! I am back to being in love with what I do, how I do it, and the people who come to share in that with me.
Oh yeah, and my numbers are thriving…

About MeI am an actress, artist, and model in Toledo,OH. I started modeling last year, and already I have learned so much about art and how to express myself through it. I'm hoping that modeling can act as a gateway to coping with my self esteem and maybe take me further in life. I love making art, and really enjoy quirky, different photographs. I still have a lot to learn, but I'm enjoying every step of the way. I make a point to be on time and professional as possible. Send me a message and join my journey!

Employing safe work practices as well as proper use of engineering controls will help eliminate or reduce exposure to hazardous conditions that can result when working with volatile chemicals, radioisotopes, infectious materials, loud or energized equipment and other physical hazards. To confirm that hazard controls are sufficient, EHS conducts monitoring of work environments and may conduct sampling for air quality, personnel exposures, drinking water, surface contamination, or conduct assessments for the presence of mold, ergonomic deficiencies or the capture efficiency of contaminant exhaust systems such as fume hoods. Another form of monitoring is medical surveillance, which is conducted by the EHS Occupational Health program.
Contact Radiation Safety or Biosafety for specific concerns related those programs. To schedule an assessment of your work environment or obtain advice on proper procedures and controls for all other hazards, contact the EHS Industrial Hygiene unit contact EHS main office (303) 724-0345.
If you are preparing for your CAP accreditation site visit and wish to schedule personnel monitoring, contact Justin Sterger at (303) 724-2271.
The EHS Industrial Hygiene unit can conduct live time monitoring or collect samples for laboratory analysis for a myriad of potential chemicals. These assessments are conducted to either look for the presence of contaminants in the air within the working environment, or to provide quantitative data about the actual exposures of an individual. For the latter, samples are collected at the individual's breathing zone and can provide an evaluation of the daily exposures for that individual regardless of how many different work areas they visit, or how many different work activities they conduct throughout the day.
EHS responds to chemical release incidents involving large spills, spills of unknown chemicals, or other dangerous situations such as a gas release. In such cases, the EHS Hazardous Materials unit or an EHS industrial hygienist can conduct air monitoring to ensure it is safe to enter the space or whether conditions warrant additional control measures due to explosive conditions or high airborne contaminant levels.
For all emergencies, call the UC Denver Police department by dialing 911 from any campus phone. You may call the EHS main number, 303-724-0345, during normal business hours to seek assistance with a chemical release. After hours call UC Denver Police and they will contact the on call EHS member.
Often individuals have concerns or experience problems that may be related to indoor air quality. Indoor air quality (IAQ) can be affected my many factors:
If you are experiencing problems you feel are related to IAQ, contact EHS (303) 724-0345 to have your work area assessed. You can learn more about IAQ from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

"My high school guidance counselor told me I wasn't smart enough to be an architect," Michael Vanderbyl said, wryly, as he handed me the program produced last fall on the occasion of his induction into the Interior Design Hall of Fame. Given the multidisciplinary course of his extraordinary career, perhaps the counselor meant to say something more like, "Vanderbyl is too intelligent to be limited to just one pursuit."
The Hall of Fame award is reserved for individuals who have made a significant contribution to the prominence of the design industry. Other inductees over the years have included such legendary figures as Frank Gehry, Antonio Citterio, and Massimo and Lella Vignelli.
"It's very flattering to be counted among such company," Vanderbyl says. "I had attended the Hall of Fame event in the past -- it's held at the Waldorf-Astoria in Manhattan -- and it was fantastic to be recognized there myself."

We're always looking for new breakthroughs, new leaps forward, hoping to find a diet pill with radical results without radical side effects. That's why our ears pricked when we heard about Xyphedrine. When it first hit the shelves, there was a fair amount of controversial buzz, mostly due to its Neuropeptide-Y (NPY) blockers and C.A.R.T. activators. By controlling these two neuropeptides, Xyphedrine manipulates the brain's chemistry to push the body into weight loss mode. This approach has been met with curiosity, skepticism, and outrage. However, the people at Xyphedrine are sticking to their guns, maintaining that their product works and that it works with minimal side effects. Could Xyphedrine really be that effective AND safe?
So how does Xyphedrine work?
After reviewing Xyphedrine, we knew we had found something special. Xyphedrine has 4 majorly powerful ingredients for multiple approaches to weight loss. First it blocks NPY, an amino-acid chain responsible for increased food intake and converting energy into fat stores. Secondly, it activates C.A.R.T. molecules that stimulate the hypothalamus to accelerate the body's metabolism. It also uses ingredients that produce thermogenic reactions, speeding up the body's metabolism even more. To be honest, Xyphedrine has some of the best ingredients we've seen They actually produce the promised results because they are actually included in the right amounts. We are thoroughly impressed. We definitely recommend this product.
Dicaffeine malate -a buffered form of caffeine that is meant to reduce or even eliminate side effects, dicaffeine malate is safer and yet it still potentially creates the fat burning and thermogenic effect you are looking for.
Chocamine -a natural antioxidant derivative found in chocolate, chocamine has been used to promote said antioxidant benefits. However, it does not actually promote weight loss.
Phenylethylamine -a natural mood lifter that comes from chocolate, this ingredient has been known for its appetite suppressing effects as well.
Synephrine -an ingredient compared to ephedra, Synephrine will burn fat, suppress appetite, and increase energy. And all this without the side effects common to ephedrine.
Xyphedrine Side Effects
Though Xyphedrine is designed for minimal side effects, its caffeine derivatives still can lead to headaches, jitteriness, nervousness, irritability, insomnia, and an elevated heartbeat.

Dodged Viper
Snake inadvertently loosed in car leads to an escalating series of accidents.
[Brunvand, 1988]
A woman got in her car to drive somewhere, and before long she felt something tickling her ankle. She looked down and, of all things, she saw a snake sticking out of the bottom of her pants leg.
Terrified by the snake, which was creeping rapidly up her leg, the woman pulled the car over, leaped out and began to kick in an effort to dislodge the snake. She failed and the snake crept still farther up her pant leg, she dropped to the ground and rolled around, hoping the snake would slither out.
A man driving by saw her contortions. "Oh, my God!" the man thought, "That poor woman is having a seizure!" So he stopped his car and ran over to help her.
Another man driving by saw the first man bent over the kicking, screaming woman. "Oh, my God!" this man thought. "That guy's attacking her!"
He stopped his car, ran over and punched the first man in the face.
Sometimes the hilarity is caused by a snake that pops up out of nowhere, startling the driver, but sometimes the trigger is gerbil or hamster the woman was knowingly transporting to the vet that escapes its cage.
The hapless driver is always female, and her pair of rescuers are always male.
We've traced this tale of escalating calamities back to at least 1967:
[Linkletter, 1967]
Some of the greatest embarassing moments are like avalanches. They start with just the smallest trickle of discomfiture, and then there's a crack in the façade of human dignity, and finally the entire personality collapses in dust and ruin. These are the funniest of all, because they are cumulative. One of them I heard about happened quite recently near
San Francisco.
A woman was driving along in her car with five children. One of them had a little pet lizard, and he put it on his mother's shoulder. Suddenly the lizard ran down into her brassiere! She screamed and pulled over to the side of the road, jumping out of the car, and started wiggling her body while in a bent position to see if she couldn't shake it out. Another motorist coming along saw her in these strange contortions and, thinking she had a seizure, stopped his car, jumped out, ran over, threw her down, and started pulling her tongue out of her mouth! A second man who was walking by thought that the first man was attacking the woman, so he got a club and hit the first man over the head, knocking him out. At this, the woman got up and gasped, "I was just trying to get a lizard out of my brizzard." Can you imagine the good Samaritan's expression as he stood over the prostrate man with a club in his hand?
The story uses the stereotypical woman who can be counted upon to flip out when confronted by a small furry or slithery creature. This stereotype commonly recurs throughout the genre.
Though in the example above, the tale is presented as an account of something that "happened quite recently" near San Francisco, that doesn't help much to date
it because urban legends are always told as true, local, and recent occurrences (meaning the "happened quite recently" statement should be taken with a large grain of salt). One postulation for the story's origin lays responsibility at the door of an unnamed law professor who might have concocted this tale of mayhem as an exam question designed to test students' abilities to sort out the various issues arising from a complicated incident. If so, that origin echos that of the famed
Ronald Opus
tale, a legend also coined as an exercise in logic.
Legend or not, sometimes elements of a tale do come true in real life. In April 2001, a woman in Columbia, SC, was startled to discover a
python on the dash of her rental car. No hastily pulled-over vehicles, women convulsing by the side of the road, or helpful Samaritans beaten insensible resulted.

Westminster administers several specially funded scholarships, many of which have been established by friends of the Seminary. Financial assistance is awarded either from the institutional budget or from monies provided by donors based on recommendations from the Scholarship Committee and is for tuition only, unless otherwise noted. Specific criteria, additional submission requirements and availability of these special awards for the 2013-2014 academic year are posted on the seminary's website.
Students should follow the instructions under the appropriate U.S. and Canadian or International Students category and consult the website for additional requirements.
The Church Partnership Award, a merit-based scholarship established and funded by Westminster, is for part-time as well as full-time U.S. and Canadian students in the M.Div., M.A.R. and M.A.C./M.A.U.M. programs who receive financial support from their home church or denominational organization and who may not be eligible for other Westminster scholarships. Westminster matches the church's or denominational organization's support for fall and spring semesters only, up to a maximum of 33% of tuition with a limit of 15 credits in a given semester.
The Lynn A. and Carol E. Dolan International Scholarship was established in 2007 to benefit international students in the M.Div. program who aspire to return to their country of origin to serve the church in some capacity, preferably as a pastor. This scholarship may be awarded as part of an International Scholarship or as an independent award.
The John and Karen Furry Scholarship for International students was established by Karen Furry in 2013 in loving memory of her husband John, a gentle, humorous, thankful man and a powerfully converted 70's hedonist, who was certain by his last days in a bout with leukemia that "all things work together for good to them that love God" (Rom. 8:28). This scholarship is intended to aid international students in the MDiv program in their pursuit of scholarly preparation for ministry in their home countries. It may be awarded as part of an International Scholarship or as an independent award.
The Huff Science Scholarship, established in 2010, is a competitive, non-need based full-tuition scholarship for entering (first-year) students in the Ph.D. (in Historical and Theological Studies, with focus in Apologetics), M.Div. (General or Pastoral emphasis preferred) or Certificate (in Christian Studies) programs who 1) hold at least a Bachelor's degree in mathematics, the natural/physical sciences (e.g. Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, Physics), computer science or engineering, 2) are interested in studying science and apologetics, 3) desire to communicate the fruits of study to fellow Christians and in the public square in whatever ministry or career path taken after graduation, and 4) intends to study full-time (preferred). The Leadership Development Scholarship Award is a full tuition scholarship established and funded by Westminster, to provide seminary training for promising students who have 1) demonstrated leadership in an urban church from a historically non-reformed tradition, 2) are supportive of the reformed faith, and 3) who intend to pursue full-time pastoral ministry. Academic merit will be a weighted aspect of the award. A maximum of three students hold this award at any given time.The Walter and Helen Lee Memorial Scholarship Fund allows for the annual presentation of one full or two half-tuition scholarships for a full time student(s) from Southeast Asia or China, regardless of their country of ministry following graduation. Preference is given to students pursuing an M.Div. degree or higher.The Loman Chen Memorial Scholarship Fund was established in 2011 by David Chen, a Westminster graduate, in memory of his mother Loman Chen. The scholarship will provide two $5,000 awards each academic year to students who 1) intend to minister in Taiwan upon graduation, 2) have a Taiwanese background (including Taiwanese Americans) and 3) demonstrate financial need. Preference will be given to full-time students pursuing an M.Div., but part-time students and those enrolled in other programs may also be eligible. Students awarded this scholarship must maintain a cumulative minimum GPA of 3.0. A maximum of two students will hold this award at any given time.
The Mainland China Scholarship (renewed annually) was established in 1999 by Holy Trinity Presbyterian Church (PCA), Tampa, to provide tuition funding for full-time international students from China in the M.Div. program of study. The amount of this award is $10,000. A maximum of two students hold this award at any given time.Income from the Mephibosheth Endowed Scholarship Fund, established by the late Peter DeKorte of Hawthorne, New Jersey, is used to provide scholarships to students who have physical/sensory disabilities. Mr. DeKorte, a successful businessman who had a disability, established this scholarship fund out of gratitude to God for all he had done for him. He felt that he wanted to share some of the blessings he had received from our loving God. He named this the Mephibosheth Endowed Scholarship Fund since "he too had dined at the King's table" (2 Samuel 9:13). The Psalm 90 Scholarship was established in memory of Buddy Stride, who was killed in a tragic automobile accident while a Ph.D. student at Westminster. This scholarship fund is for tuition for a scholar from France with a clear commitment to the Reformed faith and who lacks sufficient funds to pay tuition. The Reformed University Fellowship Intern (RUF) Scholarship is a non-need based full tuition scholarship established and funded by Westminster to provide seminary training for entering M.Div. and M.A.R. students who are current or former RUF interns and who intend to pursue RUF ministry upon graduation. Up to fifteen new scholarships are awarded annually. Interested students should contact the Admissions office at email@example.com Joseph F. Ryan Scholarship Fund has been established to benefit students in the M.Div. program who have demonstrated financial need and who intend to go into gospel ministry. It is a full tuition scholarship. The purpose of the George D. Sinclair Scholarship is to propagate and defend, in its genuineness, simplicity, and fullness, that system of religious belief and practice which is set forth in the Confession of Faith and Catechisms of the Presbyterian Church of America in the form they possessed in 1936 and as stated in the charter granted to Westminster Theological Seminary on March 31, 1930, under an Act of the Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This fund provides tuition scholarships for M.Div. students preparing for service in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church (OPC) or Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). This award is need-based and will be awarded by the Scholarship Committee for 50 percent of tuition for a fixed 12 credit course load for fall and spring semesters only for a maximum total award of 50% tuition for 24 credits per academic year tuition. The student must be full-time from the point when the scholarship begins, have a GPA of at least 3.0, and maintain that GPA throughout the student's career. Approximately nine awards are made annually. Receipt of a Sinclair Scholarship will supersede the M.Div. Ministry Scholarship award. In addition to the basic application requirements for U.S. and Canadian students, an applicant must 1) sign a statement of subscription to the Westminster Standards, using the same pledge that is required of voting faculty members of the Seminary, and re-subscribe annually as long as the applicant receives this award (copies of the Westminster Standards are available from the Admissions Office. A Statement of Subscription form is available on the Westminster website or from the Financial Aid Office); 2) Provide evidence of "under care" status in a PCA or OPC presbytery, generally in the form of a letter from the stated clerk of presbytery. The George D. Sinclair Scholar Award is a competitive non-need based award made to an applicant to the M.Div. program at Westminster who commits to seek ordination in the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) or the Orthodox Presbyterian Church (OPC). The initial award is for $10,000 for the first year of tuition expenses. Upon successfully coming under care of a PCA or OPC presbytery, the recipient of the award will qualify to apply for a George Sinclair Scholarship, or Westminster's M.Div. Ministry Scholarship. Requirements to qualify for the award are: 1) application to the M.Div. program; 2) College GPA of 3.5 or higher; 3) letter of reference from a PCA or OPC ruling or teaching elder; 4) essay on hopes for ministry in the church as a pastor, teacher, missionary, or evangelist in the PCA or OPC (2 pages, double-spaced); 5) signed statement of subscription to the Westminster Standards, using the same pledge that is required of voting faculty members of the Seminary. (A Statement of Subscription form is available on the Westminster website or from the Financial Aid Office). The Vosbigian Scholarship, established in 2011 in honor of the late John and Edna Vosbigian, is a merit-based full tuition scholarship with $2,500 stipend. It is awarded each year to two entering Ph.D. students pursuing full-time study. One scholarship is awarded by invitation only in each Ph.D. area. No applications or petitions for this scholarship will be considered. Ph.D. students awarded this scholarship are required to notify the Financial Aid Office of their intention to continue in the program each successive year that they are enrolled by submitting a Statement of Intent form. Deadline to submit this form is February 1 for the following academic year.
The purpose of the UK Scholarship is to provide seminary training in the Reformed tradition to students wishing to pursue ordained pastoral ministry in a reformed Presbyterian church in the United Kingdom.
This scholarship, which covers up to 50 percent of tuition of a fixed 12 credit course load for fall and spring semesters only for a maximum total award of 50 percent of tuition for 24 credits per academic year, is available for a full timeM.Div. or M.A.R. (Biblical studies preferred) International student from the UK who 1) desires to return to the UK, upon degree completion to take up an ordained position in a Presbyterian church that is in line with the Historic and Reformed faith, 2) is a member in good standing of a Presbyterian church, 3) has an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or higher and 4) subscribes to the Westminster Standards. Students awarded this scholarship must maintain a cumulative minimum GPA of 3.0. One student may hold this award at any time.
The Westminster Seminary Patricia Comber Scholarship was established in 2012 as a memorial to Patty Comber, who faithfully served women students at Westminster for many years. One scholarship will be awarded by the scholarship committee to a female student beyond her first year who maintains a minimum GPA of 3.0.

RIF's Reading Checkup for Babies and Toddlers
It's never too soon to begin reading to your child. Babies enjoy hearing a parent's voice, even if they can't understand the words. They soak up the language and attention. Toddlers can listen longer and follow a simple story. They focus on the pictures, but they are learning some of the basics about reading, such as how to hold a book and turn the pages. They are also learning to love it.
How is your child developing as reader? Use RIF's Reading Checkup to evaluate his or her progress. It describes the knowledge and skills most babies and toddlers demonstrate.
Does your child...
1. Respond happily to reading by waving hands or batting the pages?
a. not yet b. sometimes c. often
2. Treat books differently than other playthings?
a. not yet b. sometimes c. often
3. Join in when you read rhymes, sounds, or lines that repeat?
a. not yet b. sometimes c. often
4. Want to read the same book again and again?
a. not yet b. sometimes c. often
Can your child...
1. Hold a book right-side up and turn the pages one at a time?
a. not yet b. sometimes c. often
2. Point to something in picture and say its name?
a. not yet b. sometimes c. often
3. Retell something that happened during the day?
a. not yet b. some words c. often
4. Hold a crayon in a fist and scribble?
a. not yet b. without control c. with control
Notice where most of your checkmarks fall. If your answers are mostly As, your child may still be making the transition from an earlier stage. If the answers are mostly Bs, your child is in the middle of this stage. If you checked mostly Cs, your child is probably stepping up to the next level.
Important: If you have any concerns about your child's reading progress, talk to a pediatrician or early childhood educator.
