Perth teenager Liam Davies in a critical condition after Indonesian methanol drink
- From: PerthNow
- January 04, 2013
A WA teenager is fighting for his life in a Perth hospital suffering methanol poisoning from a drink he consumed on the Indonesian island of Lombok, near Bali.
Liam Davies, 19, had been celebrating with mates on New Year's Day when he became sick after drinking an alcoholic beverage at a bar on the holiday island.
He was taken to a local hospital for treatment. After consultation with Australian specialists, a decision was made to airlift him to Perth's Sir Charles Gairdner in the early hours of yesterday morning.
On Saturday afternoon, a hospital spokesperson said there had been no change in Mr Davies' condition, with the teenager remaining in a critical condition.
Davies' family has released a statement, describing him as a "fun loving and active 19-year-old, who has has represented his country in lacrosse, and has dreams of travelling abroad to see the world."

5* MAC Game of the Year on Ball State -3
5* MAC Game of the Year on Ball State -3
Ball State vs. Central Michigan, 10/20/2012 15:30 EDT, Score: 41 - 30
Point Spread: -3/-115 Ball State
Sportsbook: BookMaker
Result: Win
5* MAC Game of the Year on Ball State -3
I'm fading the struggling Central Michigan Chippewas here as they go up against a Ball State squad that has been playing well.
Central Michigan has turn in three straight disappointing performances since its upset win at Iowa, and I expect it to get whacked again.
Ball State has won 2 in a row and 3 of the last 4 in the series. It has also won it last 2 at Central Michigan.
The Chippewas have been a terrible investment as they are just 4-22 ATS in their last 26 games overall. The Cardinals, on the other hand, have been golden at 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games overall.
The Chippewas are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 home games, 0-11 ATS in their last 11 games after allowing more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game and 0-8 ATS in their last 8 games after allowing less than 170 yards passing in their previous game.
Central Mich is 0-6 ATS the last 2 seasons when playing against a team with a winning record. It has lost by an average score of 44.7 to 23.0 in this situation.
The Chipps are 0-6 ATS all-time under coach Dan Enos after allowing 31 points or more in 3 straight games. They have lost by an average score of 34.5 to 25.0 in this situation. They are even 0-6 ATS all-time under coach Enos after a game in which they didn't force a single turnover. They have lost by an average score of 34.8 to 20.7 in this situation.
Lastly, the Chippewas are 0-6 ATS after failing to cover the number in 4 out of their last 5 games over the last 2 seasons. Lay the points.

'That Sabbath Sound': Black Sabbath Post Latest Behind-the-Scenes Video for New Album, '13'
'That Sabbath Sound': Black Sabbath Post Latest Behind-the-Scenes Video for New Album, '13'
Related Content
Black Sabbath have shared another behind-the-scenes video tied to the recording of their new album, 13, which will be released June 11.
The video, titled "That Sabbath Sound," can be seen below.
This latest "in the studio" video, which — like its many predecessors — was directed by Ozzy Osbourne's son, Jack, shows the band — Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and drummer Brad Wilk — with producer Rick Rubin, all of whom discuss the new album's throwback sound.
"I think what we're trying to capture is the vibe from the early days," Iommi says.
"The main goal is to try to get back to the origins of Black Sabbath and what they sounded like at the beginning of their career," Rubin adds.
Black Sabbath debuted a new song, "End of the Beginning," during last night's season finale of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation on CBS.

Mark, Sabbath released a statement last year stating that Bill requested the removal of his image from all material on their new website since he was no longer involved. Nothing to do with Sabbath re-writing history.
May 17, 2013 at 10:43am
I have not heard any of the new material besides what they posted a little while back, and the clips from these "behind the scenes" episodes. Rick Rubin can go all day talking about how the sound is going to be reminiscent of the early 70's stuff, but if they don't cut out that crisp metal distortion, it doesn't matter how many riffs Tony has, it's not going to capture that sound. Get rid of all of those effects. Get a Dallas Rangemaster, an old Orange or Marshall, a 60's SG, an analog recording set up, and that's it. Just seeing the computers and pedal boards stirs up so much doubt. Wouldn't it also be so much cheaper to trim it down? I think these guys are disconnected. I don't know why. Rick Rubin was able to capture that sound in 1988 on Danzig's first record. Dumb it down, guys, dumb it down.
May 16, 2013 at 12:30pm
It's really too bad that the current members of Sabbath feel the need to distance themselves from Bill Ward by not including any photos of him in this video article.It's not as if he had no contribution at all to their incredible sound, or, that by omitting his image,they're going to make people forget who he is or what he brought to the table.God bless Brad Wilk, as it seems as though he's bringing a great performance to this new material, but he's got some mighty big shoes to fill.

Out this week on Big Beat is the latest remix from Kill Paris, who defines his slow steppin' dubstep version of Rudimental's hit single "Feel The Love" as "makin' love music." I guess I wouldn't go that far, but then again, I have yet to throw this one on the surround sound when a lady friend was over. So I guess I will have to come back to y'all after the weekend to confirm this claim. Overall, I dig the track. Purchase below.

Lookin hawt…
Two sensational remixes of No Doubt's pop single "Looking Hot." Kill Paris is my preference, but R3hab is never to be ignored. Check out both.
No Doubt – Looking Hot (Kill Paris Remix)
Tender Love
SPOTLIGHT: Kill Paris
Kill Paris, aka Corey Baker from Los Angeles, CA is on the rise. I definitely have posted several of his recent tracks like "Shades Of Funk" and his 2012 b-side of "The Love We Shared." Both are must downloads so do your research and get that done. We at AYNE love the up-and-comers. While the "A-list" DJs are flying their private jets to Ibiza or kicking back in their state of the art studio, the guys trying to level up are busy in their modest, often self-constructed home studios, working tirelessly developing their own unique sound. In my opinion, Corey Baker's hard work will be paid off quite soon. What he calls "dubstep" is not your typical bass heavy nonsense, no offense to the heavy dub people out there…just not my style. It's not influenced by the crazy electronic dub music that has been made so popular by guys like Skrillex, Datsik, and Nero. It's its own beautiful thing, proving further that despite the genre, every artist has an individual style and technique. Check out Kill Paris on display:
Kill Paris produces smooth, crisp, deeply melodic dubstep or as he so graphically puts it "Panty Soak" music that makes me smile. Each track is calm and collected while, at the same time, has the power to make you move and groove. They are dreamy, filled with funky bass vibes, and are each wonderfully constructed. In some ways it reminds me of Starslinger but with more depth. To put it concisely, this music is special. Kill Paris will be a big big name soon, so we advise you to get familiar. Take a listen to a bunch of his catalog below and grab some free downloads via his Soundcloud page.
Find more music, info, and events on the Kill Paris Facebook page and follow him on Twitter for the latest news and releases!

I have definitely fallen for the dope sounds of Kill Paris. He his also known as Corey Baker of Los Angeles, CA. He is one talented son of a gun. Listen to this track and it will help you fully grasp the brilliance that puts him a step above the rest right now. Seriously great production here. Works perfect when its dark.
Wednesday Wompfest [05.23.2012]
So…we have been off the womp game as of late, and we are going to make up for it in a big way…promise. Here is a nice start. These few are straight BOMBS…definitely a more "quality over quantity" approach this week. Enjoy, you bassheads you.

Spectator's sport; would-be timekeeper keeps eye on ropers, hand on stopwatch
Cheyenne Duncan sat from a second-story vantage point with a stopwatch in hand, snapping her thumb to get it going at the point a cowboy broke from the chute and hitting it again to mark the time it took him to rope the calf.
Cheyenne's timekeeping was not official - despite her relative accuracy.
Results of Saturday's 54th Annual Cowboy Roping Fiesta at the roping arena depended, in part, on the timekeeping of Shelly Barrett, the official timekeeper.
With her right hand, Barrett handled an electronic stopwatch, and she simultaneously ran a hand-held stopwatch with her left hand.
Seated next to her was backup timekeeper Mary Brunner and Cheyenne, who both gripped a hand-held stopwatch as they peered out at the roping arena from their perch behind the chutes.
Cheyenne, 11, wanted to practice her skills alongside Brunner.
"She sat with me in Houston, and we checked times," Brunner said of her and Cheyenne's trip to the Houston rodeo.
Cheyenne would like to be a Rodeo Ambassador and later a timekeeper, she said. Her father, Mark Duncan, is the chairman of the San Angelo Stock Show & Rodeo Association.
"I like to watch the bull riding and roping," Cheyenne said. She has practiced timekeeping at a variety of rodeo events, she said.
The issue of time is crucial to rodeo events such as calf roping, where a centisecond can mean winning the top spot or being second-best.
Cheyenne's quick fingers matched the official score at least two times Saturday. Other times, when the official score was 14:01, Cheyenne's clock marked 14:06. Or 9:68 versus 9:53. Or 15:65 versus 15:82.
Brunner, who has kept time for about 12 years, noted that a blink of an eye can affect the score.
And timekeepers don't get a second chance.

Ave Maria law student accused of attempted murder of classmate, roommate
GOLDEN GATE ESTATES - An Ave Maria School of Law student is accused of attempted murder after deputies said he shot at his roommate and threatened his ex-girlfriend's life.
Collier deputies early Friday arrested Robert Christopher Ringley, 25, of the 10200 block of Heritage Bay Boulevard, at his Golden Gate Estates apartment.
One of those involved, 25-year-old Samantha Morris, told investigators she briefly dated Ringley. He invited her over late Thursday to talk.
Throughout the night, Ringley became increasingly frustrated by her insistence their relationship was over, according to the arrest report, which gives this account:
After his roommate went to bed, Ringley retrieved a silver Taurus 9mm handgun from his room.
"Just tell me you love me. I love you," he told Morris. He paced with the gun. "I can kill myself. I can kill you. It's simple."
Fearful, the woman woke the roommate to help her calm Ringley.
Although all three had been drinking earlier, Ringley was the only one still going.
He poured himself two large glasses of scotch as the other two — both fellow law students — attempted to defuse the situation.
"This always happens. I love a girl and they dump me," Ringley told his roommate, Christopher Graves, 24.
At one point, Graves got hold of the gun and went outside to lock it in his pickup truck. Ringley followed and got the firearm back.
"I've got the power. With this, I'm the boss," he said, loading and unloading the weapon in front of his roommate. He put the gun to his own head and pulled the trigger. Then he did it again, this time under his chin, Graves told deputies.
Ringley then forced his ex-girlfriend and his roommate to their knees on the street, the report noted. He pointed the gun at them and said he would kill them. He held the gun to Morris' head as she cried, she told deputies.
"How does it feel?" he taunted.
When Ringley suddenly removed the magazine from the gun, the woman darted into the apartment, grabbed a phone and hid in a closet.
That's when Ringley ordered Graves to his feet and fired several shots in the air before pointing the gun at him. Then he fired.
"I saw the big flash of the muzzle and I heard the bullet whiz by me," Graves said, according to the arrest report.
He and Morris eventually were able to flee in a vehicle and call law enforcement.
Ringley faces one count of attempted murder, and another of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Ave Maria School of Law confirmed Saturday that Ringley, Morris and Graves are students at the institution, which is located off Vanderbilt Beach Road, just east of Interstate 75.
Spokesman John Knowles said the law school doesn't have a policy regarding students who are arrested.
"This is not a situation we've encountered before," Knowles said. "It's in the hands of the authorities ... We're working through it in our internal process."
"It's a very sad situation for everyone involved, I'm sure," he added.
The school's honor code, available on its website, states "I will obey the law, the rules of professional conduct for lawyers, and this code."
Knowles declined further comment on what action would be taken by the school regarding Ringley's arrest.
This wasn't Ringley's first run-in with Collier County law enforcement. Following an August 2010 misdemeanor DUI arrest, a judge sentenced Ringley to 12 months' probation and 50 hours of community service hours. He also was banned from possessing or consuming alcohol and having any alcohol in his residence, and had to agree to random alcohol tests.

Mobile banking on the move in Indonesia
An Indonesian bank will build on the success of its mobile banking program.
Commonwealth Bank Indonesia intends to continue expanding into the growing mobile-phone banking market as the total number of middle-class consumers continues to expand in Southeast Asia's largest economy. Commonwealth Bank is a subsidiary of Commonwealth Bank of Australia, one of the Big Four Australian banks.
Since the bank launched its mobile banking services in June 2011, 20,000 out of its 150,000 customers have downloaded Commonwealth Bank mobile banking applications that are available on BlackBerry and iPhone platforms. Indonesia is the world's second largest Blackberry market.
And of the 20,000 customers, 7,500 are active users of the bank's mobile banking platforms. Some 35 percent of its total customers also use the bank's Internet banking services.
The bank's mobile banking applications offer all the features that are available in its Internet banking service. A goal is to convert 100% of its Internet banking users into mobile banking users.

After removing an article of clothing each, they begin to masturbate side by side and it's just a couple of minutes until Larissa has her orgasm. Zasha uses a vibrator and Larissa helps her out by playing with her chocolately nipples and sucking on them. Zasha finally comes like a freight train as the orgasmic contractions ripple through her feminine parts.

It turns out that since Corning sold the rights to use the Pyrex

I just found a great article on how large corporations become functionally indistinguishable from the State: the full impact of economic decisions is not understandable and hence poor decisions are made. An example in the article is Home Depot centralising all purchasing from fifty states to Atlanta, Georgia and then exporting it to India. On paper it looks like a great idea: lower purchasing costs. But the actual impact is a multitude of problems as the India purchasing agents don't understand the lingo of American purchasing. The decision has costs that were not apparent.
This isn't really surprising when one thinks about it. The State is just another large corporation (albeit one with a monopoly on force). It's perfectly natural that if the State cannot make wise economic decisions then neither can other large corporations.

A few days ago I was driving along when a great song from my college years came on the radio (One Headlight by the Wallflowers). It occurred to me that it'd be really great to know the next time they're in town. But then I realised that there's no way for me to be alerted of the fact.
Sure, I could sign up for their mailing list. But then I'd get announcements of records, of shows in other cities and states, perhaps the lead singer's thoughts on politics or art or some other subject. I don't want to know every update about the band: I just want to know when they're playing within eight leagues of my home.
I could manually go to every concert venue in town and sign up for their mailing lists. But they may not have them at all! If they do have them, then they will send me emails about the latest death metal acts to play on their stages. I don't want to know every band to play at the Bluebird; I just want to know the next time the Wallflowers play.
All the information about where the Wallflowers are playing is already online, in the form of concert listings at venues and postings on their website and advertisements and concert highlights in newspapers. But there's no way to get at that data and be alerted when something interesting happens.
The Semantic
Web was supposed to save me all this trouble. The semantics of
data were to have been encoded with the data itself: venues would
all use a common standard to indicate their listings and bands would
all use a common standard to indicate their shows. Fans would then
have been able to create agents which would alert them with news
they would find interesting (e.g.
the Wallflowers are playing at
the Gothic Monday). This clearly is in everyone's
benefit: the fans get to see more shows; the artists get larger
audiences; the venues sell more tickets. It's win-win-win.
But it hasn't happened.
I think the problem is that everyone is short-sighted. They all want to run their own little walled gardens of mailing lists and web sites, afraid that if they make it easier for fans to find shows then they might find them at other venues or listen to other artists. The sad thing is, they're almost certainly wrong: if they opened things up, the fans would see more shows and listen to more artists. I know I would.

I happened
upon Television
under the Swastika, a documentary concerning Nazi television.
It's pretty interesting stuff: cabaret acts, political interviews,
cooking shows—all designed to show the greatness of the Party and
benevolent Leader.
Watching stuff like that always gets me wondering about that lost world. It's not a sense of nostalgia, of course—the Nazis were one of the great evils of the 20th century—but one does wonder what it was actually like to live in that world.
It's also strange to see actual pictures of the era, as opposed to movie interpretations. In the movies, everyone is a blond-haired, clean-shaven Aryan stereotype, but in the films one sees a lot of old-fashioned Imperial Germans with their forked beards and dark hair.
I also wonder about what was going on underneath the surface. The barbers being retrained as hairdressers, for example: did they ask for the retraining, or did the party simply tell some quota of barbers that they had to submit for retraining? What dark secrets lay behind the sunny scenes?

People who suffer from multiple sclerosis (MS), a debilitating neurological condition, may benefit by supplementing their mainstream therapy with alternative treatments.
Complementary approaches such as moderate and targeted physical exercise, in particular tai chi and yoga, can increase balance and flexibility as well as energize the body, suggests WebMD.com, a medical news website.
For those who do not suffer from osteoporosis, which sometimes results from mainstream medical treatments for MS, gentle massage has also been shown to bring some relief of their symptoms and to lower the level of stress.
Others have responded well to acupuncture which may improve muscle spasms and alleviate bladder control problems, the source says.
Doctors have also been stressing the importance of proper diet and supplementation for those trying to manage their MS. In particular, there is evidence that oral supplements containing linoleic acid, also known as evening primrose oil and found in sunflower seeds and safflower oil, may slightly improve MS symptoms.
Before embarking on any course of alternative therapy treatment for MS, it is important to consult with a physician.

John Wood Promoting New Book at University CampusFebruary 11, 2013 by Sally Farhat Kassab
Skoll Awardee John Wood of Room to Read just released a new book, Creating Room to Read: A Story of Hope in the Battle for Global Literacy, and was recently at Southern Methodist University promoting it. Here's a little about his trip from the campus newspaper:
"Room to Read is a philanthropic organization that is responsible for opening over 15,000 libraries in developing countries, impacting over 7.5 million children.
Wood and his team go into impoverished countries and seek out communities that need help improving their education systems.
Wood made it known, however, that his team picks communities that wish to help themselves.
The natives help dig the foundation for the libraries and paint the walls. It is very much a co-investment, where the people want to send their children to school, which strengthens the chance of success amongst them, according to Wood.
'We're not going into these communities as foreigners,' Wood said. 'We are working with them if they want to help themselves.'"

Foremark Reservoir hosts seaside themed event
Posted: August 14, 2014|
PEOPLE who cannot make it to the seaside this summer can now enjoy a trip to the beach . . . in South Derbyshire.
Severn Trent Water is hosting a special fun day at Foremark Reservoir on Saturday which will feature activities including sand castle making, donkey rides and a Punch and Judy show.
This will mean many parents can cut out a 180 mile trip to the seaside and just head down the road to enjoy a 'summer holiday with a difference'.
Severn Trent Water's visitor centre manager, Wendy Mcclay, explains: "During the school summer holidays, we know how hard it is to keep kids entertained.
"So, to save parents a long drive and give kids a fun, free day out we've brought the seaside to Foremark.
"To make the family fun day one to remember, we've organised a host of free activities including donkey rides, a Punch and Judy show and we've created a giant sandpit."
The even runs from11am to 4pm.
"A trip to the seaside wouldn't be complete without heading out on the water," said Burton Sailing Club's David Bell.
"We've got free boat rides around the reservoir this Saturday, to give visitors a chance to experience life on the ocean waves.
"We're keen to let people find out what it's like to bob around on the water and enjoy the stunning views across the reservoir."
Miss Mcclay added: "If that's not enough to give visitors a taste of the seaside, there are also all sorts of yummy foods like ice creams and fish and chips to sample – so there's something for everyone."
Visit stwater.co.uk/foremark-funday for more details on the event.

Carly Craig's appearance in the Farrell brothers unabashedly dude-tastic hall pass won't be her first time working with the renowned siblings of slapstick. She had a small role in The Heartbreak Kid back in 2007, a gig that allowed her to bust out the comedy skills she developed while studying under the improv gurus at Second City when she was just starting out. That particular skill set later landed her a pair of roles in "Children's Hospital" and a notable part in David Wain's Role Models.
Carly on her role in Hall Pass: "I play [Jason Sudeikis' hall pass, whom he meets at a club. Even though we have nothing in common, he takes me home because his friend tells him, "You're not looking for a pen pal—you're looking for a poon pal."

''Happily N'Ever After'' is a 2007 animated film set in a troperiffic fairy tale land. Literature/{{Cinderella}}'s EvilStepmother gains control of the land's magic and uses it to cause all the fairy tales to have unhappy endings.
The film was critically panned, and failed to make its budget back at the box office, but made enough in home video to justify a DirectToDVD sequel.
!!''Happily N'Ever After'' provides examples of:
* AbnormalAmmo: The Dwarves use diamonds as ammo.
* {{Adorkable}}: Mambo
* AllNaturalGemPolish
* AppleOfDiscord: The hero causes the wolves to fight over who is stronger with this.
* BlondesAreEvil: The Stepmother.
* DamselInDistress: Played with. Prince Humperdink hopes Ella is one, but in the end she kicks more ass than he does.
* DeadpanSnarker: Rick
* DisneyVillainDeath: Subverted: the stepmother is pushed in a bottomless fiery pit, but she flies back to the room thanks to the scepter. [[spoiler: She's defeated when Ella push her in the dimensional portal.]]
* EvilStepmother: Ella's stepmother.
* ForTheLulz: The Evil stepmother Frieda decides to take over the Wizards' wand and give a bad ending to all the various fairy tales... for fun...
* FracturedFairyTale: The whole point of the film. Even when evil is vanquished and everybody gets a happy ending, not all of them are traditional (Ella, for instance, decides not to marry the Prince).
* GreekChorus: Mambo and Munk.
* HeroicSacrifice: Rick makes one for Ella in the climax.
* ImpossibleHourglassFigure: The Stepmother.
* IndecisiveDeconstruction: ''Happily N'Ever After'' is a Partial Deconstruction; it comes close to deconstructing the typical Creator/{{Disney}} fairytale storyline, but since it's a kids' movie couldn't go all the way.
* LimitedAnimation: Largely due to sending animation to several studios even though it had a moderate budget.
* OffModel: The film had [[Creator/{{MrX}} three]] [[Creator/{{Nitrogen}} Canadian]] [[Creator/BardelEntertainment studios]] and one [[Creator/PolygonPictures Japanese]] studio. This is the result.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: Notable aversion: as soon as her mooks fail to capture Elle, Frieda decides to go after her herself.
* OurTrollsAreDifferent: Huge, dumb monsters with bunny ears.
* PimpedOutDress: Cinderella's [[GorgeousGarmentGeneration magically made]] dress, which is {{Pink|MeansFeminine}}.
* PrinceCharmless: Prince Humperdink.
* TitleDrop
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse?: Ella's stepsisters disappear early on in the film, despite the fact that their mother is the main villain.
!!''Happily N'Ever After 2: Snow White Another Bite @ the Apple'' provides examples of:
* ArtEvolution: Inverted. The animation is much worse, on par with or worse than fellow sequel ''WesternAnimation/SpaceChimps 2'', ''Series/CaptainPowerAndTheSoldiersOfTheFuture'' and the early ''ComicBook/TransformersGeneration2'' commercials.
* AscendedExtra: The 7 Dwarfs. They appeared in a scene in the first film.
* BishonenLine: The EvilStepmother of this movie starts out ugly and is turned beautiful.
* BlackBestFriend: Bo Peep to Snow White. Also, Little Red Riding Hood seems to be Snow White's Arab Best Friend, complete with headscarf-esque hood.
* ContinuityNod[=/=]TheCameo: A picture of Ella and Rick.
* DancePartyEnding: The song even has "dance party" in the lyrics.
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: If Lady Vain had just gotten married (to illustrate, Snow White was OK with this), she would've had a chance to have Snow White and King Cold killed off eventually and not be punished due to VillainWithGoodPublicity in play. Unfortunately....
* DisproportionateRetribution: Lady Vain tries to kill Snow White for being more humble than before, to illustrate, Snow White was actually ok with her marriage as long as her dad was ok with it. Lady Vain basically threw away her chance to rule for her own [[EvilIsPetty pettiness]].
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: In ''Happily N'Ever After'', Rumpelstiltskin starts out evil and later turns good. In the sequel he's back to being evil, [[TheyJustDidntCare with no explanation given]]. Logically, the movie should take place before the first movie, since the dwarves already met Snow White; despite this, it is flat out said to happen AFTER the events of the first movie in the introduction.
* VillainBall: Lady Vain was going to become queen, even Snow White, who had gotten past her own selfishness, was going to allow the marriage, but then she just had to decide to kill her
* WalkThroughTheCamera: A scene where a group of trolls begin walking toward a light shining at the castle. A pink one walks into the camera and walks back out.

Journal of Environmental Peace
Issue 3, 2004
News Editor
Editorial: Issue 3, 2004
In this third edition, we welcome our new Editorial Board Member, Nobel Laureate for Peace-2004, Professor Wangari Maathai, Deputy Environmental Minister of Kenya. After taking her bachelors and masters university degrees in Biology in the United States, she returned to Kenya to take her PhD. She subsequently became a professor and rose to become head of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Nairobi. Finally she left academia for the real world: she recognized the fundamental relationship between the environment and the human condition, that poverty causes families to cut trees for firewood at a rate greater than the capacity of the trees to regenerate. The resulting desert like conditions stress the people further and this leads to a vicious cycle of desertification and impoverishment.
As well as being the first African woman to receive the Nobel Peace prize she has dedicated her life to restoring the environment and peace of Africa and is said to be responsible for the planting of about 30 million trees across Africa through founding the Green Belt Movement. She has pointed out a fundamental truth of Environmental Peace: when we destroy our resources and our resources become scarce, we fight!
In upcoming issues we shall deal with the practical side of reducing the developmental impact of human economy on the ecological balance of the planet: Measures to take to engage in the battle to establish and surpass the Kyoto protocol for reducing carbon dioxide emissions which feed into the highly complicated atmospheric system with unpredictable and potentially tragic effects on earth weather. 'Kyoto' is now 'in effect' thanks to the recent Russian ratification of the treaty. Perhaps we can encourage our relatives in the United States to take advantage of the undoubted economic opportunities involved in the CO2 reduced emission economy and to join the majority of the countries of the world in this great effort for mankind.
This issue of the Journal may be considered as a Philosophical issue, containing numerous articles, for example, including works by Gord Miller, Environmental Commissioner for Ontario, Dr Amin El Amin, an expert in Economics, the Environment and Religion and by a distinguished philosopher and Internationally acclaimed author, Professor Subodh Ghosh of the University of Calcutta.
Since developing the concept of 'Environmental Peace' in the year 2000, day by day we are getting increased popular support for our National and International sustainable development works. Here we make special announcement for our new monthly news and views bulletin, 'Environmental Peace Review'. This is made possible by volunteering support and creative work, especially from under-grad and graduate students, to run this project for the building of human relations with the environment.
We also acknowledge direct and indirect support from our International Innovation Projects correspondents and volunteers around the world.

NIH encourages Americans to make vision a priority
Dr. Rachel Bishop, an ophthalmologist at the NIH's National Eye Institute, describes several ways people can keep their eyes healthy.
So there are a lot of things we can do to keep our eyes healthy. First, to think of it in simple terms the advice that we get to keep our heart healthy and keep our body healthy, we've learned applies just as well to the eyes. So that includes maintaining an ideal weight, which of course involves diet and exercise. This reduces the risk of diabetes, this keeps our blood vessels healthier and in terms of diet, there are specific things we've learned are helpful particularly to the eyes. Green leafy vegetables like kale and spinach have nutrients that are very helpful for the eyes. We're learning more about omega-3 fatty acids and these are very helpful for the eyes. There are other things that we can do to keep our eyes healthy. Not smoking is at the top of the list. Smoking increases the risk of so many diseases including problems with the eyes such as cataract, macular degeneration, things like this. Controlling other diseases that a person has. So if you have high blood pressure, that can affect your eyes, high cholesterol, diabetes we've talked about. So keeping your body healthy also keeps your eyes healthy. Then we're going to talk a little about protecting the eyes from insults, from the sun, from trauma. You know, that's the other thing that actually is really important. A lot of eye injuries lead to vision loss that's preventable.

Wet n Wild ColorIcon The Gilded Age Review, Swatches, Photos
I gotta say I really like the six pan Wet n Wild ColorIcon Palettes considerably more than the trios. Dare I whisper that the trios are a tad TOO shimmery…
Blasphemy! Did I just say too much shimmer?
True that. They really are intense but at this price no one is complaining around here. Want cheap Summer bronzed lids? Snatch up the new limited edition Wet n Wild ColorIcon in the The Gilded Age for under $3 bucks and have extra change in your wallet this Summer.
Checks it!
A trio of shimmering eyeshadow shades for Summer.
This palette is limited edition and released with the new Wet n Wild Go for the Gold Collection. The collection is a wee one as it merely contains the one shadow palette and a bronzer which I recently reviewed. I purchased it from Harmons for $2.69 so it's really a nice budget price if you're on the no buy bandwagon or just need a cheap shadow fix.
I admit I'm a makeup snob but Wet n Wild does have something, something going for them lately and have evolved considerably in terms of quality. I'm not a huge fan of the Trio Palettes (I prefer the six pan ColorIcon series) because I actually feel like they are too intense. You have to agree saying that about an under $3 shadow palette is pretty amazing right?
This comes with three shades of shadow and a how to guide printed on the back of the palette plus two applicators. The sponge applicator is fab but I find the brush they include a bit scratchy and useless. The shades have an imprint of where they go on each pressed shadow for example the top one is printed with "brow bone" the middle "crease"…etc…that's rather helpful for creating the look if you're unsure how best to contrast the colors.
The shades graduate from a bronze-y beige pink to highlight with, to a dark chocolate bronze for your crease, with a finale of a true bronze for your lid. The shadows are extremely pigmented for a bold color pay off and blend easily and flawlessly. They create a very dramatic bronzed eye look that will compliment tanned skin very nicely. The colors have a cool liquid metal effect with a load of shimmer and in some cases a bit of frost. I find the shades are buttery smooth and have a texture comparable to a Stila Eyeshadow but even "creamier" and smoother.
Packaging is no nonsense plastic but I actually have come around to appreciate this. At first I felt it was a tad cheap but honestly they store really easily due to the small design and they are pretty much no nonsense so I'm not scared of roughing it up a bit due to really cute or expensive packaging.
I think the overall palette is a steal and makes a nice Summer pick for bold, bronze-y eyes!
As I mentioned above I prefer the six pan series as these are sometimes a bit too much in terms of shimmer and frostiness. I like my shimmer but it can definitely be overdone. I think the frostiness of the shades bugs me a bit too since I really don't do frost well.
Some fall out woe here as the shades are packed loosely. Nothing too bad but it deserves a mention.
- Those looking for shades to compliment a Summer tan.
- Those who wear bronze lids well.
- Those wanting a cheap, inexpensive palette with quality shadows that blend easily and have great color pay off.
- Those averse to cheaper makeup (not a budget girl? More high end? You prob won't like this)
- Those who aren't keen on too much frost or shimmer.
- Those who do not partake of makeup made in China.
The Gilded Age proves a most excellent little budget find. The shades are all amazingly pigmented for under $3 bucks and they create a very dramatic look for Summer. If you're on a budget you're sure to love this one. Of course, it does have quirks with a little bit of fall out and alot of shimmer and frost plus the fact that it is Made in China may not appeal but you won't find a better pick if you're more of a beauty budget shopper. Without a doubt these are probably the cheapest and nicest trios you'll find at the drugstore.
Anyone haul this one?
Love the ColorIcon Trios?
Share it!
This product was purchased by the Muse for review purposes.
Read my full disclosure statement here.
6/8/11 11:14 Jackie:
I love Wet N Wild eyeshadows because they are good quality and they do last a long time. I'm with you those, it's just a little too much shimmer and frost.
6/8/11 12:40 LaurieS:
Oooo, so pretty. These colors look like dupes for some of the shades in the new Stila Naturals Palette. Do you know if they crease? I hate to say this but the Stila shadows creased horribly on and I used a Smashbox shadow primer. I was so disappointed
6/8/11 14:29 Sarah S.:
I must admit I've been hunting for this for a month… to my dismay, I found the display at a local CVS just yesterday… filled with regular old, non-LE trio "Knock on Wood"! I guess they didn't make enough of these?
I'll admit, after hearing that the pink shade is a dupe for MAC "All that Glitters" I drove a couple more miles to another CVS and found the same display filled with "Knock on Wood" (grrr). Does Wet 'n' Wild hate Michigan makeup junkies or something?
We didn't get the holiday palettes, either ( I was lemming the pretty red shadow). Sorry to rant but I love their shadows and I wish they'd release the LE ones in the Detroit area!
6/8/11 15:07 Tigress:
I keep checking Walgreens but they still don't have this! I want.
6/8/11 22:07 Nora:
They have a beauty section?! No way! I really want to hunt this trio down, but I haven't seen it so far. Thanks for the heads up, muse.
6/9/11 9:50 JenJ:
Sayyyy what!?!?!?!
7/12/11 18:18 Tigress:
I just saw this response! I called my local BB&B and they don't carry cosmetics. Thanks for the tip though. I don't think I'm gonna find this at this point. Poop.
7/13/11 15:40 Tigress:
I've been checking eBay but it's going for up to $20! Screw that. lol Maybe after a while it will go for less, so I'll keep checking.
6/8/11 18:55 Fey:
I love the trios so much. Shame I'm cool-toned, I'll have to pass on this one. Normally, I love Wet 'N' Wild's frost stuff–their lipsticks, their eye shadows, but that bronze looks weird with a frost finish..
6/9/11 9:49 JenJ:
I went to my CVS yesterday and did a double take when I saw, Scooped it and the new bronzer up! Wearing it today., Reminds me of some of the colors in the Naked palette. I do like thought 😀
6/11/11 19:54 Georgianna:
Glad I saw these swatches. Between my Wet 'n' Wild Fine Wink shadow, my UD Twice baked, and my UD Baked. I don't actually need this trio. I swatched my shadows on my hand and (while I like baked more than the bronze in this trio) they look sooo similar to this trio. Glad I can pass on this!
6/12/11 9:58 Stavroula @drugstoreandbargainlover:
Beautiful colors! I love Wet 'n Wild! 😀
7/30/11 9:20 Larisa:
I WISSSSSSSH I could find this palette :(((
3/6/12 21:21 Taylor:
This palette looks gorgeous, but I didn't get it before it was discontinued………

Uniontown teachers tip off for a good cause
Getting together to show their athletic abilities or at least their good sportsmanship, about 30 faculty members from the Uniontown Area School District will face off against teachers from the Brownsville Area School District in a basketball game to raise funds for a local nonprofit.
The proceeds from the game will go to Domestic Violence Services of Southwestern Pennsylvania, which is thrilled to have been selected as the recipient of the proceeds.
Event organizer Josh Scully, a teacher in the Uniontown school district, said that they have held similar events in the past that were always well-received
"We have had faculty games in the past to raise money and the games were always well-attended," Scully said. "In the past we, the Uniontown teachers, have played the Uniontown firemen, the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Laurel Highlands faculty and the Turkeyfoot faculty. Whenever you get large numbers of people committed toward a common cause, great things can happen."
"I can't begin to tell you what a great job they have done in community outreach," said Community Education specialist Jennifer Soisson of Domestic Violence Services of the many items that Scully and his committee already have collected that will be a part of the large Chinese auction that will also be a part of the event. "They are doing an outstanding job."
Soisson added that she is pleased the group recognized her organization and its importance to everyone.
"It makes me very happy to see people in our community not ignore domestic violence," Soisson said. "I hope that some of the students will now be more aware of it, and this event could help to send a message to them."
The event will feature one full game that will be played by teams composed of both male and female teachers from the districts.
Scully said that they chose Domestic Violence Services for several reasons, with one of the main focuses being the location of the services.
"I wanted to seek out a charity that covered a somewhat larger geographic area that many people should be familiar with in terms of name recognition at least," Scully said. "The Domestic Violence Services of Southwestern Pennsylvania certainly serve a need and that organization is as good a cause as any."
The game will be played at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at Uniontown Area High School.
Advance ticket prices are $3 for adults and $1 for students or children. Adult tickets will be $4 at the door. Tickets are being sold at Brownsville Area Senior High School, Uniontown Area Senior High School and A.J. McMullen Middle School.

AOL TV's Top 5 Awards
AOL TV is calling it their Top 5 Awards. They provide five nominations but you decide who the winner will be. You can watch the video clips and vote for your favorites. AOL TV will release the winners on December 13th.
Check out the nominations and my predictions after the jump.
There are 5 categories:
1. Vote for the best Crybaby: the crying Sanjaya fan, Aaron from Hell's Kitchen (Puh-lease!), Ellen ('Give them back the puppy, wahhh!'), the anchorwoman (Who is this again?) and Paula Abdul on Hey Paula (I wonder which crazy Paula moment they'll use.)
My prediction: While the hapless young Sanjaya fan is the most sublime crier, I think Ellen will win. That ridiculous plea on her show was totally out of left field.
2. Vote for the best Feud: Trump vs. Rosie (I'm so over the Trump.), Isaiah vs. Grey's Anatomy, Rosie vs. Elisabeth (Two Rosie feuds in one year? Now how did we get so lucky?), Dick vs. Jen (on Big Brother 8), and Colbert vs. Branson (Richard Branson is that scary rich dude who owns Virgin Airlines I didn't even know he was fighting with Colbert.)
My prediction: I don't care who wins this one--as long as it's not Trump and Rosie. I hate giving that stupid man anymore attention. Wait. Since I mentioned him here, am I part of the problem?
3. Vote for the best Shocker episode: 24, Dancing with the Stars, The Sopranos, Lost, House. (They've provided clips and explanations for each show.)
My prediction: The Sopranos for the win!
4. Vote for the best Spill: Carmen Electra on the runway, Marie Osmond on DWTS, Meredith Vieira on Today, Miss USA at the Miss Universe Pageant, and Heather on DWTS (Who is that?)
My prediction: I think Marie Osmond will take it since her fall was the most talked about. But, something about voting for her feels wrong. Doesn't it?
5. Vote for best Trainwreck: Danny Bonaduce manhandling Jonny Fairplay, Sanjaya's weird hair, Miss Teen USA contestant's geography lesson, Starr Jones from The View, and Britney Spears's MTV performance.
My prediction: Britney. Do I really have to even explain that one? Oh, and Danny Bonaduce throwing Jonny Fairplay over his head is NOT a trainwreck. That was awesome!
Kudos to Sanjaya and Rosie who are both so awesomely bad they made the list in multiple nominations. And kudos to Paula Abdul who (surprisingly) was only mention once.

(PM273) Daphnia magna responses to Fluoxetine and Propranolol mixtures.
Glidewell, E1, Ramirez, A1, Chambliss, C1, Brooks, B1, 1 Baylor University, Waco, Tx, USA
ABSTRACT- Environmental effects data for many pharmaceuticals is limited and is typically based on traditional, relatively short term ecotoxicological studies. This approach may not be best suited for determination of potential effects from environmental pharmaceutical exposure, as pharmaceuticals in effluent-dominated streams present low level, relatively continuous exposure to complex mixtures. Of particular interest is potential mixture effects of compounds utilizing similar metabolic pathways, such as Cytochrome P450s. Fluoxetine, a commonly prescribed selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, and Propranolol, a commonly prescribed beta adrenergic blocker, are not co-prescribed in humans because both compounds are metabolized by CYP450 2D6. Fluoxetine is known to inhibit this isoenzyme, thus influencing metabolism and clearance rates of Propranolol. To assess potential responses of Daphnia magna to mixtures of these compounds, traditional 96 hr acute tests and 21 day chronic survival, growth and reproduction tests were performed. Nominal treatment levels were verified by LC-MS. Fluoxetine and Propranolol LC50s at 48 and 96 hrs were estimated to be 2350 and 650 g/L, and 1723 and 1121g/L, respectively. Interestingly, the addition of 125, 250, and 500 g/L Fluoxetine to acute Propranolol toxicity tests decreased the average 96 hr LC50 from 1121 g/L (Propranolol only) to 497, 462 and 157 g/L, respectively. Our results indicate that interactive toxicity should be considered when assessing environmental hazard of pharmaceuticals. Further, future studies should investigate responses of aquatic invertebrates to pharmaceutical mixtures.
Key words: fluoxetine, pharmaceutical mixtures, propranolol , Daphnia magna

The Ogdensburg Fire Department will have an exhibit at next weekends 37th annual Ogdensburg Expo and, for Chief Michael J. Farrell, it is an event and an opportunity not to be missed.
Not when you factor in the departments non-stop mission of educating people about the importance of fire prevention and safety.
Its invaluable, said Mr. Farrell said. Were definitely going to be out there.
The firefighters exhibit at the March 22 to 24 annual fundraiser for the Ogdensburg Boys and Club at Ogdensburg Free Academys Edgar A. Newell II Golden Dome will touch on all the familiar and, to Mr. Farrell, essential themes with firefighters there to explain them. Fire codes. Smoke detectors.
Fire extinguisher training. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation instruction. Home heating appliance safety.
There will also be information and explanations on some of the more little-known fire department functions and duties. They include open and recreational burning, child safety car seat fittings, building and code inspection and fire drill supervision.
For all the seriousness and urgency that is attached to fire prevention and safety, Mr. Farrell said, its not unusual for a little levity to find its way into the message.
He recalls one response that is frequently heard at the conclusion of one of the departments appearances at the citys schools and before civic organizations to explain smoke detector installation and battery replacement.
Now I got to get another smoke detector, the chief recalls someone saying.
Mission accomplished.
