CO2 emissions are something we are all aware of but what seems to get mentioned less often is that ICE (internal combustion engines) fumes are poisonous.
A study showed that around 5000 people die every year in the UK from car fumes. That's more than twice the number that die from road accidents. For this reason amongst others I felt compelled to start a company that is dedicated to doing with electric what used to be done with ICE.

This dish is the one that inspired me to devote a week of Recipes for Health to toaster-oven vegetable and grilled cheese sandwiches. I made it one night after a day preparing enough quiche to feed 80 for a book signing. When I got home I had still more quiches to make in my own kitchen, and the last thing I wanted to do was cook dinner for myself.
But I was hungry. So I looked in the refrigerator and found a bowl of beet greens that I'd blanched a day or two earlier, and roasted beets that had once been attached to those greens. I pulled a couple of slices of bread from the freezer, looked in my cheese bin, and here is what I slapped together.
I loved it so much that I made it again the next night. It's always a good idea to blanch greens as soon as you get them home from the market. You never know when you'll want to use them in a pinch.
Total time: About 10 minutes if your greens are already blanched
2 large slices whole-wheat country bread (3 ounces total)
1/2 garlic clove (optional)
About 3/4 ounce (3 tablespoons crumbled) Gorgonzola or creamy blue cheese
1/3 cup chopped blanched beet greens
Chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, thyme, rosemary, marjoram (optional)
1/2 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 small or 1/2 medium beet, sliced thin
1. Rub surface of one slice of bread with the cut clove of garlic if desired. Spread blue cheese over the bread. If you wish, save a little cheese for the top slice.
2. Toss greens with herbs if desired. Spoon over cheese and press down onto the bread. Drizzle on 1/4 teaspoon olive oil. Arrange beet slices over the greens. If desired, add a little more cheese: either spread on the top slice of bread or sprinkle it over the beets. If desired, rub second piece of bread with the cut garlic clove before spreading with cheese. Place over beets and press down firmly. Drizzle remaining olive oil over the top slice.
3. Toast in toaster oven for 3 to 4 minutes, until cheese has melted. Remove from toaster, press down firmly, cut in half and serve.
Note: If you are worried about cheese oozing out onto your toaster oven's heating element (the burnt cheese smells horrible), then place on a baking sheet. Toast for 3 minutes, then flip over and toast for 1 minute more. You can also make this in a panini grill.
Yield: Serves 1
Advance preparation: You can assemble this sandwich and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for up to a day. Toast when ready.

Myeloma - Cancer is a disease of the blood that is characterized by lesions of B-lymphocytes and the development of these oncological changed plasma cells that synthesize antibodies.Myeloma is also characterized by various manifestations in humans.There multiple myeloma or diffuse myeloma, which is characterized by the development of multiple lesions in the body.There is also a myeloma blood, which is characterized by a decrease in blood viscosity and impaired formation of blood cells.And there are, for example, myeloma bone, which is characterized by an exceptional lesion of bone structures.
Actually, the disease got its name because the malignant myeloma cells infiltrate the bone marrow in a variety of tubular bones and cause them to multiple lesions (diffuse myeloma, myeloma or bone marrow).By the way, the name of the disease, "myeloma" comes from the Greek, where "mielos" means "bone marrow" and ending "ohm" - is the common name for all tumors.Myeloma is literally translated
Myeloma causes
specific causes that have led to the development of the disease is not present.
believed that the etiological factors of myeloma can be ionizing (radioactive) radiation, oil, asbestos, benzene.Danger prerequisite for myeloma appeared in the human body, it is the age - the average age group for this disease - 65 years.It is found that most often affects men myeloma.
And because of what appear malignant myeloma prototypes?First you need to understand the mechanism of formation of B-lymphocytes, plasma cells, progenitors.
before conversion into plasma cells in the lymphocyte through the following stages.
in the bone marrow pluripotent (the source of all subsequent cell types) stem cell turns into a precursor B lymphocytes (pre-B lymphocyte).Then, pre-B lymphocyte proteins under various stimulator is transformed sequentially, first in B lymphoblasts (immature B-lymphocyte), and then transformed into itself lymphoblast B-lymphocyte.
Next, the formation of plasma cells: B lymphocyte reaches lymph node and settles into the fabric of its follicle, forming a "germinal centers" - secondary follicles reproduction, where they form cells plazmoblasty migrating to the medulla of lymph node, the way of finally passing proliferation and maturing inplasma cells.Synthesis of plasma cells is triggered when the body alien information, namely the foreign antigens.Then macrophage "represents" In this information-lymphocytes and activate the synthesis of plasma cells.You also need to remember that all the daughter cells will remember all the information that was in their parent's B-lymphocytes.
fully formed and healthy plasma cells have one feature not found in other cells: they are able to produce antibodies to a variety of dangerous substances for the body (a sort of "outsiders" or antigens).These antibodies are known as immunoglobulins, and there are 5 types.
Thus, B-lymphocytes by macrophages, memorize a foreign agent attacked the body.He further gives rise to its subsidiaries plasma cells and gives his "memory of a stranger" to them and determine which of the five types of immunoglobulins by plasma cells synthesize need to win and remove the foreign antigen from the body.
In myeloma, B-lymphocytes still can generate new plasma cells which can synthesize immunoglobulins.But there is a problem: immunoglobulins of such cells uniform in structure.This is due to the principle of myeloma tumor cells: all the cells of the tumor cell-born ancestor of one and bear the same information.We can say that the place of normal B lymphocytes occupy the abnormal cells, which begin to synthesize identical plasma cells with the same type of information.This kind of "Attack of the Clones": the plasma cells can not attack infectious and foreign agents, because they do not receive from their progenitor cells no information about the strangers, that is, roughly speaking, the cells are obtained by "stupid."They gather in the bone marrow and the substrate itself is formed of myeloma.And such myeloma lesions may appear in many bones, where there is this type of bone marrow.Typically, myeloma loves to hit the long bones.
And as a result, the body appears:
1. clones of plasma cells that produce the same type of immunoglobulins.They are called monoclonal (literally "from one clone") paraproteins.Develops vulnerability to infections.
2. There is a similar accumulation of these immunoglobulins in the bloodstream, urine and their negative impact on the individual organs.Most often affects the kidneys, increases blood viscosity.
3. Pathological myeloma cells produce osteoklastiruyuschy factor that triggers the destruction of bone structures in the body and the effects of elevated blood level, due to the destruction of bones of calcium.
4. Cells clones collected in the bone marrow and the substrate appears myeloma.Occurrence mielomaticheskih outbreaks in various tubular bones of the body.
in the pathogenesis of which is characterized by myeloma, using two stages of the flow.
first - it is chronic.It myeloma cells have a low capacity for development.It is not depressed the formation of other cells in the bone marrow (myeloma depression).
second stage - acute or terminal.Myeloma tumor cells mutate, causing its clones with increased reproduction.As a consequence, may be suppressed by all the germs of education formed elements, and myeloma metastasized throughout the body.In addition myeloma can develop into other types of cancer (such as lymphosarcoma).
Myeloma stage
myeloma flow is divided into the following steps (these steps are similar to those of pathogenesis):
1. Asymptomatic period: no changes in the status of patients, yet no clinical signs of disease, but in the urine (usually at randomFor example, routine inspection) can determine the presence of protein (proteinuria).
2. crisis period: There will be expressed all the characteristic clinical symptoms, which starts myeloma.
3. End-stage: there myeloma metastasis to other organs.Oppression of other structures of the bone marrow, the accession of secondary infection, cachexia body.
myeloma also divided into stages of the process and the severity of clinical manifestations: on the level of calcium in the blood, hemoglobin concentration (as verified by the activity of myeloma bone marrow depression), radiographic signs of bone destruction.
I step
hemoglobin level exceeds 100.
calcium indicators are normal.
Radiological findings: no bone destruction, or have a single focus.
low level of paraprotein.
II stage
hemoglobin level is 85 to 100. The significance of calcium.
Radiological findings: there is decay and destruction of the bone (osteolysis and osteodestruktsiya).
III stage
hemoglobin level low - less than 85 grams in 1 liter.
extremely high calcium content.
Radiological expressed osteodestruktsii multiple processes.
Also, for each stage of the creation of two sub A and B. They are separated by the presence or absence of impaired renal function, namely on the level of serum creatinine.So, Step A is characterized by normal levels of blood serum and step B - increased its level.
Myeloma Symptoms
Clinical manifestations of myeloma is caused by the following factors: infiltration of bone marrow and bone tumor plasma cells (myeloma bone), the secretion of monoclonal paraprotein and spread of the tumor outside the bone marrow.
The clinic, which is accompanied by myeloma, decided to allocate the following syndromes (symptom complexes):
1. syndrome, bone damage;
2. loss of the hematopoietic system (blood myeloma);
3. kidney damage;
4. syndrome is visceral pathology;
5. syndrome secondary immunodeficiency (secondary infection);
6. hyperviscosity syndrome blood;
7. neurological syndrome;
8. hypercalcemic syndrome (consequences of the massive destruction of the bone).
syndrome bone pathologies
One of the main manifestations of the syndrome is myeloma bone damage (bone myeloma).Its manifestations are explained by bone lesions tumor clones, increased activity of osteoclasts and the development of cell clones factors that stimulate osteoclasts.
Appear pain often suffer from the plasma cells of bone chest.At first, the pain is not constant, decay rapidly.But with an increase in disease activity in pain become unbearable, and their physical activity starts or torso twists.By the way, holding the tip of the index finger tapping on the bones can easily identify their pain.Besides chest affected vertebrae and long bones (long bones).Therefore, the complaint also possible to localize the pain in these areas.
bone lesions often hit flat and short bones (skull, pelvis, sternum, vertebrae).Because myeloma bone will be shown the following X-ray picture: "fishbone" or the spine of the type "bamboo stick" - flattened vertebral bodies.This will lead to a decrease in "settling" the growth of the patient, and the bones on x-ray will be a sort of "moth-eaten", "knocked out punch."These are signs of massive osteoporosis and osteodestruktsii.By the way, in diffuse forms of the disease (diffuse myeloma) is observed only osteoporosis.
Since the normal structure of the bone is broken, it is very often the patients currently receive various fractures: and it does not need to put considerable effort, enough to get just a little bruise.
damaged hematopoietic system
Myeloma Blood develops more at the terminal stages, when the tumor plasma cells inhibit the growth of its other shoots hematopoiesis.
for this syndrome is characterized by the appearance of anemia: it is possible to observe a characteristic "anemic" pale skin.If the process progresses over time, the blood will develop neutropenia and thrombocytopenia.It appears syndrome "pancytopenia" in which the tumor is pushed out of the bone marrow hematopoietic all sprouts.
kidney damage
kidneys are affected due paraprotoinov deposits in the kidneys.Appears Bence Jones proteinuria (identification myeloma Bence-Jones protein in the urine).This all leads to the development of multiple myeloma and renal amyloidosis.In addition, some types of toxic and myeloma paraproteins, laying in the kidneys, can easily cause renal failure.
syndrome of visceral pathologies
This syndrome occurs when the breakout of myeloma in the body.They are easy to damage various visceral (internal) organs.The most "tasty" authority for myeloma getting liver and spleen, and for her.This is easily verified by means of palpation: the liver and spleen are very large in size than their normal value.
In more rare cases of myeloma may infiltrate into the lungs.Then myeloma will be a consequence of pulmonary hemorrhagic effusion.It is also possible secondary damage myeloma skin, resulting in dissemination onkokletok the body.
syndrome secondary immunodeficiency
Since normal immunoglobulins that protect the body from foreign antigens due to the effects of myeloma missing, the body becomes vulnerable to various infections.Often, they have a reason, and death in patients with myeloma: the body have nothing to protect themselves from infection.Due to the pathological effects of bacterial complications of myeloma appear.Heavier flow cystitis and pyelonephritis.Also, the syndrome may progress pancytopenia.Operation of neutrophils is reduced, and hence, is broken and its protection function against infections.
syndrome increased blood viscosity
At the heart of increased blood viscosity is high concentration of myeloma protein in the bloodstream.Consequently, it violated the microcirculation and blood comes barely, or not at all comes to parts of the body.This explains the following symptoms: feeling of "crawling chills" through the body, a variety of visual disturbances, dizziness.These symptoms may lead to the development akrogangreny.
addition, paraproteins myeloma "envelop" platelets and prevent them from performing the function of aggregation.As a consequence, there is a syndrome of increased bleeding: skin hemorrhages appear, may bleed or mucous membranes begin nosebleeds.
Syndrome neurological disorders
Since plasma cells can attack and dura mater, to violate the integrity of the bones of the skull, hitting vertebrae compress the roots, it will be attended by such phenomena: there are paresthesias, "goose bumps" on the body, numbness, may interfere with the functionhands or feet, muscle weakness may appear, can decrease sensitivity to pain.
syndrome increased hypercalcemia
Since in the body there is massive destruction of myeloma bone, then exits from the tissue and calcium accumulation in the blood.Excessive excess of normal levels of calcium leads to vomiting, nausea.It may also be violated consciousness and somnolence.Crystals of calcium deposited in the kidneys and cause interstitial nephrocalcinosis and renal failure.
diagnostic criteria for myeloma
there will be two main criteria: the presence of more than 10 percent of the plasma cells in the bone marrow punctate, its infiltration and plasma electrophoresis detection of monoclonal immunoglobulin.Diagnosis of myeloma can be established only when the combination of these two criteria.
Myeloma Treatment
Without a doubt, the main place in the treatment of symptoms that the body has myeloma, chemotherapy is given, and hematologists developed two schemes for the treatment of myeloma:
1. Driving MR.It uses a combination of the following medications: Melphalan / Prednisone + Alkeran.Melphalan and Prednisone accepted from the 1st to the 4th day of chemotherapy, the dose of prednisolone with a 5-day treatment reduced and canceled on the 9th day.Then a break of up to 6 weeks, and the scheme is repeated.This scheme is the "gold standard" treatment for myeloma.
2. The circuit M2.It uses Vincristine Cyclophosphamide + + + Prednisolone Alkeran.This scheme is suitable for patients older than 65 years, or for the treatment of aggressive forms of myeloma.
also now good results in the treatment of myeloma gives bisphosphonates.Particularly well these drugs treat lesions that render the body myeloma bone.The drugs can inhibit the activity of osteoclasts, to stop the destruction of the bone and reduce the spread of the myeloma.Representatives of a number of drugs are Bonefos, Bondronat, Areda.
Treatment of accompanying symptoms of myeloma
great attention to correcting the physiological processes of the body that have undergone as a result of exposure to the myeloma itself (such as bone damage) and indirectly (syndrome of hyperkalemia, which occurs as a consequence of the impact of myeloma in the bone structure).
myeloma treatment of hypercalcemia
Hypercalcemia is treated according to its severity.Mild better hydration of the body to heal apply: up to 3 liters of mineral water a day.At high degrees of calcium administered by intravenous infusion, and combine them with the intravenous administration of Furosemide.This procedure should be done by controlling the parameters of potassium.

Ever since his first exhibitions in the 1960s, Robert Arneson, the irreverent California ceramic sculptor, has managed to evoke from his audiences that which every artist seeks -- a gut reaction response.
Take the case of Arneson`s piece, Funk John, featured at the 1963 ``California Sculpture`` show held in Oakland, Calif. The subject of the work was a large, dilapidated-looking toilet made of clay.
Arneson considered a toilet as ``the ultimate ceramic,`` a remark that prompted fierce objections by many traditional ceramists.
A few years later, Arneson modeled in clay a typewriter with three spiky rows of fingertips, complete with polished red nails instead of keys. It was displayed in the influential ``Funk`` exhibition in Berkeley in 1967 -- a show that played a major role in announcing to art circles in the East that there was, indeed, a West Coast equivalent to pop art.
Now the rebellious Arneson is being honored with a retrospective exhibition that reviews his achievements in clay from the earliest works to the present. According to exhibition organizer Neal Benezra of the Art Institute of Chicago, Arneson has produced ``perhaps the most powerful figurative sculpture of the post-World War II period.``
The show is a summer highlight through July 6 at the Smithsonian Institution`s Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C. The exhibit then travels to the Portland Art Museum in Oregon and, fittingly, to California`s Oakland Museum where Arneson first made ceramic-making history.
For Arneson, the revolt against the traditions of ceramic-making was an attitude adjustment, not simply an alteration in technique.
In the early 1960s, Arneson was a part of the burgeoning ceramics scene led by Peter Voulkos and other artists in Northern California. They were intent on creating sculpture, not functional pottery, out of clay.
``I was going to be an artist and not a potter in 1960,`` Arneson once remarked. ``My work always suffered, even when I wanted to be adventurous, because it was too well-made . . . because I was still wrapped into a pottery- skill mentality.``

Clinton's Stars Getting Dimmerby L. Brent Bozell IIISeptember
4, 1996
In 1992, candidate Bill Clinton barnstormed the country
surrounded (and bankrolled) by the Beautiful People of Hollywood. Barbra
Streisand, Warren Beatty, Michael Douglas, Michael Eisner, Steven Spielberg --
this was the A-list to end all A-lists of celebrity star power. By early 1995,
one would have thought by the way they were avoiding him that Clinton had the
Ebola virus, he looked to be such a loser politically. With Clinton's fortunes
once again reversed, and with the perfect setting for public relations
megaexposure, it's rather surprising that such a relatively meager contingent
of celebrities showed up for the Democratic convention in Chicago.
Yes, Christopher Reeve was there. So, too, was
"registered Republican" Kevin Costner, who proclaimed that "I'm
voting for the President. I think he's going in the right direction and I
think he's doing a good job." Costner was a double whammy for the
Democrats, one of the top movie stars in the business, and a "registered
Republican" to boot. One has to assume the Democrats were happier still
that no one in the press questioned that label, especially since Costner's
been running from it for years. "I registered as a Republican when I was
twenty-one. My parents were Republicans," he told Vanity Fair back in
1992. "But as I've gotten older I've questioned my whole conservative
background ... I think you should be fair about how you treat people."
Billy Baldwin, brother of Alec and equally liberal, was
there, too. The Creative Coalition, on whose board he sits, is a leftist
amalgamation of showbiz heavyweights. They were active at both conventions
with panel discussions on topics like abortion and campaign finance reform.
Baldwin attempted to be everywhere, lending his intellectual firepower to the
day's public policy debates, but when given the national spotlight in an
interview on CNN, he inexplicably focused on one of the burning issues of ...
1989. "People like Jesse Helms and Phil Gramm and Dick Armey and Newt
Gingrich are offended by ... a Mapplethorpe photograph and don't feel the
taxpayers' money should be spent on being offended," he droned, "but
I don't think it's the government's job to define what's art and what's not
art and what's offensive and what's not offensive." (Question: Does this
mean that Baldwin believes taxpayers' money should be spent offending
Aretha Franklin sang the "Star-Spangled Banner,"
Ted Danson rambled on about the environment on CNN, and Edward James Olmos
took to the convention podium only to yell at the delegates for not listening
to his speech about something or other. Candice Bergen, Ron Silver, Richard
Lewis and a handful of other lesser-known celebrities were on the floor from
time to time. But that was about it.
Clinton did have the one entertainment outlet he could rely
on for unabashed fawning. MTV had shown some real improvement in correcting
its unabashedly pro-liberal slant in its news reports during the GOP
convention in San Diego, but in Chicago returned to its old form as fearless
cheerleader for Clinton-Gore.
Anchor Tabitha Soren spent her time lauding the Democrats'
economic plans while demonstrating how little she knows about economics. There
was this gem, straight from the Clinton Who Cares About The Facts Anyway?
handbook: "The president pushed through a deficit-reduction plan which
has since cut the deficit by one-half. The plan raised taxes on the wealthy
and received not one Republican vote."
And then there was this doozy of a question to DNC Chairman
Chris Dodd: "The Democrats are running their campaign on fiscal
responsibility and deficit reduction, while the Republicans have offered tax
cuts. Don't you worry a little bit that voters will say, 'Hey, forget
responsibility, let me take the cash?'"
All in all, though, there seemed to be something missing in
Various news reports had predicted that Robin Williams would
make a major address; he didn't. A Barbra Streisand appearance would have been
a natural here; she was a no-show, too. Perhaps it's that this
administration's earlier failures on issues like gays in the military and
socialized health care have left liberals in Hollywood listless. Maybe
Clinton's post-1994 moderate makeover, with support for the V-chip and welfare
reform -- issues that are pure dynamite within the Hollywood community -- has
soured this powerful entity's support for the administration.
Whatever the reason, Clinton is not presently relying on
this very powerful industry to promote his re-election campaign. And my guess
is that as long as he continues to enjoy a double-digit lead, he'll be happy
to keep the leftists at arm's length. But should the race tighten, and should
Clinton need last-minute reinforcements, this cavalry will be waiting in the
wings. All he needs to do to summon them is move back to the left, back in
sync with them.

Is your body doing the slow and invisible burn that fires up cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes and brain drain — and even increases wrinkles and hurts your sex life?
You can't really feel inflammation until its damage is obvious, but the answer could be "yes" if you've got a wide waistline, a stressed-out schedule, a taste for fast and processed foods or a neglected container of dental floss in your bathroom cabinet.
If you're mumbling, "Yikes, that's me!" don't panic … yet. The pay-attention-to-this news: You get a do-over.
It's true that inflammation makes cancer-stopping genes impotent, leading to the development of new cancer; plus, it fuels existing small cancers and the buildup of heart-menacing plaque in artery walls. But you can turn off inflammation, and that's key to controlling those gene switches, beating cancer and dodging heart disease.
Here's what inflammation is and how you can control it:
Inflammation is an immune-system reaction designed by Mother Nature to protect your body. How? By getting the warriors of the immune system — T-cells — marching off to battle against invading disease-causing bugs and other cell-damaging intruders. But excess body fat, stress, foods like sugars and bad fats, simmering infections or even age can cause the immune system to boost inflammation and keep it boosted. And some people have a genetic predisposition to this.
As a result, your bloodstream gets overloaded with inflammatory chemicals mess with the way your body processes blood sugar; dislodge plaque that lines your arteries, causing blood clots or heart attacks; feeds cancers; and fuels brain changes that destroy neural connections, brain cells and increase your Alzheimer's risk.
Drugs, such as lousy-LDL-cholesterol-lowering statins, can cool off inflammation. So can do-it-yourself behavior like being physically active, quitting smoking, avoiding secondhand smoke, getting a flu shot and losing belly fat.
Here are five more strategies to cool inflammation:
Dive into a bowl of berries, cherries or both. Raspberries, blueberries, strawberries and cranberries contain polyphenols that shut down inflammatory signals triggered by chemicals in your body. Add tart cherries — they boost antioxidant levels inside your cells (as physical activity does) — and that cools inflammation, too.
Pair citrus and dark chocolate. Flavonones in oranges and grapefruit can reduce inflammation enough to help lower your risk of stroke by 19 percent. Just a few bites of very dark chocolate (70 percent cocoa that's low in added sugar) can chill out the fire within. So, pair a square with berries or citrus?
Grill salmon or trout, or pop some walnuts, and take a supplement. Regularly getting good omega-3 fats (in fish and supplements) can reduce inflammation levels by 10 percent or more. And the omega-9s in olive oil also cool inflammation. If you're not eating fish at least twice a week, take 600 milligrams of DHA omega-3 fatty acids daily (900 mg for age 50 or older) and, based on incoming data, maybe 420 mg of omega-7 daily, too.
Chill out with meditation. We started our daily meditation practices to ease stress, then found out it reduces inflammation. It will quell yours, too. Sit in a comfortable chair in a quiet room, close your eyes, follow your breath — in, out, in, out — as you tense and relax each body part from toe to head.
Upgrade your smile. Gingivitis, gum disease that leads to inflammation, starts simmering within days when you take a break from flossing. Floss every day, and see your dental professional regularly to maintain a sexy, healthy smile.

The global sea-level is rising, and there is evidence that the rate is accelerating. Increasing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases, primarily from human contributions, are very likely warming the atmosphere and oceans. The warmer temperatures raise sea-level by expanding ocean water, melting glaciers, and possibly increasing the rate at which ice sheets discharge ice and water into the oceans. Rising sea-level and the potential for stronger storms pose an increasing threat to coastal cities, residential communities, infrastructure, beaches, wetlands and ecosystems. How people respond to sea-level rise in the coastal zone will have potentially large economic and environmental costs. This book identifies and reviews the potential impacts of future sea-level rise based on present scientific understanding. Several aspects of the sea-level rise impacts to the natural environment, as well as its impact on human land development along the coast are explored. In addition, this book addresses the connection between sea-level rise impacts and current adaptation strategies, and assesses the role of the existing coastal management policies in identifying and responding to potential challenges.

If not for a serendipitous meeting in Costa Rica, Maria Toyoda might not be the new dean of Suffolk's College of Arts & Sciences.
Eighteen months ago, Toyoda, then an associate dean for interdisciplinary studies and global initiatives for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Villanova University, was in the Central American nation checking on a study-abroad program when she struck up a conversation with two Suffolk students, also studying abroad and working at a home for disabled adults. Though the interaction lasted about 20 minutes, it had a profound impact on Toyoda.
"I really admired the positive way they interacted with everybody, but also how they spoke about their experiences. They were articulate and clear-eyed about the place, and they were very grateful to be able to experience this sort of thing," she says. "Oftentimes, coming from private schools, you often encounter students who don't know much about how the rest of the world lives or see opportunities to work in a community as an obligation—but not these students."
That brief encounter piqued Toyoda's curiosity. She returned to her room and, despite a spotty Wi-Fi connection, spent an hour reading Suffolk's website. "The impression I got is that [there's] an excellent faculty that cares a lot about the students," she says. "I found that very attractive." A year later, when Toyoda discovered the University had launched a nationwide search to replace longtime CAS dean Kenneth Greenberg, she applied for the position. What stood out in her letter of interest was her recollection of meeting those Suffolk students in Costa Rica, says Provost Marisa Kelly.
"There's lot of great candidates out there looking to make that move to be a dean of a college of arts and sciences, but you don't often have a candidate that seeks you out because of an experience of that sort," she says. "That was really striking to the entire search committee." Kelly adds that Toyoda also impressed the committee as "a strategic thinker with what I would characterize as strong collaborative leadership abilities. What I mean is someone who wants to collaborate with faculty, staff, and students, particularly in the College of Arts & Sciences, but in the broader Suffolk community as well, in working to move CAS forward."
Toyoda becomes Suffolk's eighth CAS dean on July 1.
Adele Lindenmyer, Villanova's dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, has known and worked with Toyoda for the past decade. What Toyoda brings to Suffolk, Lindenmyer says, "is a great diversity of experience." At Villanova, Toyoda had also served as chair of its political science department, the founding director of the Program for East Asian Studies, and an associate professor of political science.
"Being an associate dean for interdisciplinary studies and global initiatives has provided her with experience in developing and administering study-abroad programs, responding to opportunities to create interdisciplinary programs or courses," Lindenmyer says. "She's deeply knowledgeable about the challenges and opportunities that faculty face, and is a partner in identifying areas of improvement and as a constructive problem solver."
Of her own leadership style, Toyoda says, "I'm supportive, but also a catalyzer. I think it's important to allow people to be creative, and creativity is something I like to see fostered working in groups. I like to work as part of a team, and I like to be inclusive. I want to be open to many different points of view and various perspectives. Diversity of thoughts, ideas, and opinions is the best way of getting to solutions."
Growing up in Miami, Toyoda never imagined a career in higher education. In high school, she excelled in biology and math, and earned her bachelor's degree in human biology from Stanford University. She considered attending medical school, but two factors changed her mind. "I didn't do as well as I might have done in classes like physics, and physics has always been the traditional great filter [for potential medical students]. But part of my difficulty also is that I have a hard time distinguishing between left and right," she jokes. "So I can't imagine the disasters I would have caused if I had gone into medicine. I think the world is way better off that I got filtered out."
Nor did she have any interest in her parents' "crazy" profession—show business. "That's how they came to the States; they emigrated from Japan. My father was a jazz singer and musician, and my mother was a stage manager and a talent scout," Toyoda says. "My father even appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show twice." But there was "no possibility" of following in her parents' footsteps. "I appreciate the arts, but I can't carry a tune, and I can't dance."
Instead, with an interest in politics, she earned a master's degree and a Ph.D. in government from Georgetown University. After grad school, Toyoda returned to Stanford, working in its Institute for International Studies. When Toyoda was hired as an assistant professor of political science at Villanova, Lindenmyer was told by a senior colleague that Toyoda was "the best hire Villanova's department of political science had ever made."
Robert Allison, professor and chair of Suffolk's department of history and search committee member, was just as impressed.
"When we asked her what she would do as dean, she turned to all of us and said, 'The main thing I'm going to need is the support of all of you,'" he recalls. "She looked around the table and addressed each of us by name, and it really was a moment of pulling together. We all recognize the real challenges we all have ahead of us, and that we do need someone who is able to bring us together." Allison was also swayed by what he calls Toyoda's "commitment to the liberal arts." In recent years, the perceived value of a liberal arts education has become something of a punch line, but Toyoda maintains it remains a vital component in shaping the next generation.
"We try to develop good citizens, we try to educate the whole person and, as individuals, discover what is truth and beauty, and what is good. Those things are natural attributes of a liberal arts education," she says. "But I also want to make the case that liberal arts education is a foundation for the jobs of the future, jobs we don't even know yet. A liberal arts graduate with a grounding in not just critical thinking, but creative thinking, is someone who will be prepared for not just the first job out of college but the one after that, and the one after that."
Such forward thinking makes Toyoda an ideal CAS dean for Suffolk, Kelly says. "She has great people skills. I think that she will be very well positioned to lead in the context of change and excite faculty, staff, alumni, donors, and students. She has the strategic thinking ability to do that."
Toyoda is already somewhat familiar with New England—her husband, a software engineer and entrepreneur, is from Newport, Rhode Island, and his mother is a Bostonian. Now Toyoda relishes joining the Suffolk community, learning about the University, and leading CAS toward an innovative, dynamic future.
"I'm looking forward to getting down to business. I'm looking forward to finding opportunities to let people know what a great place [Suffolk] is," she says. "I see that as one of my goals: to make sure everyone knows where Suffolk is, what Suffolk is, and what it stands for."

Ripping off the Homeless

Tags: Cuomo, homeless, UHO
and the good samariitans who donate on the streets of New York.
The United Homeless Organization (UHO), a nonprofit group set up to help feed and house the homeless, is an elaborate fraud.
The group's founder and president, Stephen Riley, and its director, Myra Walker, set up a scheme whereby they charge a daily fee for the folding tables and UHO materials and coin jars to street peddlers who then collect money and pocket most of the money with the remainder going back to Riley and Walker.
The NYT indicated that Riley and Walker have spent the money to pay bills at Weightwatchers.com, Toys "R" Us, P. C. Richard, Bed, Bath & Beyond, and premium cable and electricity bills at their homes.
The Homeless are probably not receiving anything from these collections.

This serum worked great for my acne. slightly sticky but absorbs quick so best used at night. Smell is decent. Only problem is that it's so watery that if I used a cotton ball it would all absorb into the cotton & I would waste it all. I try to drop on my skin & quickly rub into skin before it drips but it's a bit tricky. Putting drops into my hand and dipping with my other fingers to apply seems to work best ;)

With the opening game of the 2011 World Cup not going their way, co-hosts Bangladesh would be hoping to put aside their defeat against India and start the tournament afresh as they get set to take on Ireland. The pressure of expectation from the Bangladesh fans got to the home team as they were hammered by 87 runs by tournament favourites India in their first match. The Tigers would now be hoping for a convincing win against Ireland to get their World Cup campaign moving forward.
Head to Head:
Ireland have tasted success over Bangladesh in a couple of World events. They had defeated the Tigers by 74 runs in the Super 8s stage of the 2007 World Cup and had also beaten them by 6 wickets in the World Twenty20 in England in 2009. However, going by the overall figures, Bangladesh have a better record against the Irish. They have won 4 games and lost 2 to Ireland.
Build up to the game:
Bangladesh: After all the hype surrounding the opening match of the 2011 World Cup, Bangladesh's ability to upset the bigger sides and also their win against India in the 2007 World Cup, the Bangladesh fans had all expectations on the home team to beat India once again. But the co-hosts buckled down under pressure and a Sehwag onslaught. The new ball bowlers were inconsistent with their line and length and gave away far too many loose deliveries as admitted by the skipper Shakib Al Hasan. Sehwag and Kohli made merry as they hit superb centuries to pile on a mammoth total of 370. The bowlers took a beating at the hands of the rampaging India, with Shafiul Islam going for 69 runs in his seven overs and his new-ball partner Rubel Hossain conceding 60 runs in 10 wicketless overs, which in the end resulted in a 87-run defeat for Bangladesh. However, there were some positives for the home side from the match. It was a spirited chase as Tamim Iqbal hit a fighting 70, well-supported by Shakib's fluent 55 off 50 balls.
Bangladesh must now beat both Ireland and Netherlands, and one of the established sides from England, South Africa and West Indies, to progress to the next round. However, they should not think that far ahead. The best thing for the Tigers would be to take it one match at a time and give their best performance. The spinners would be the key on a slow track and the likes of Razzaq and Shakib will have important roles to play during the match. They would also be hoping for the quickies to perform better in this match and deliver some early breakthroughs. It is imperative that Bangladesh come up with a complete all-round effort as they would be up against Ireland, a team known to cause quite a few upsets.
Ireland: The Irish team's rise in cricket has been a steady one. Ever since their famous win against Pakistan in the 2007 World Cup, Ireland have been improving constantly and have been taking commendable strides in the International arena. Since 2006, Ireland have played 58 ODIs and have won 28, albeit against some weaker oppositions. From 2010, the European team has won 11 of the 17 ODIs played, including wins against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.
Ireland's performance in the warm-up games also showed how determined the team is. They came up with a brave fight against New Zealand while chasing an imposing total of 311. Porterfield, Stirling, Ed Joyce, Niall O'Brien and Trent Johnston all impressed with the bat as Ireland finished with a total of 279. In their second warm-up match against Zimbabwe, Ireland successfully chased down a target of 245 thanks to the efforts of Cusack, Botha and Kevin O'Brien. Considering the form of the Irish batters, Bangladesh will have to come up with a good show to hold off Ireland.
Pitch and Ground conditions:
The opening game of the mega event saw India post a mammoth total of 370 at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka. However, the captains said after the match that the track was pretty slow and the batsmen did not have an easy time. A similar kind of track can be expected for this game and the team winning the toss is likely to bowl first. Clear skies are forecast for the day-night encounter but the dew factor might come into play later in the evening, although not much of dew was seen in the opening game.
I don't think Ireland like to play in these conditions. This is not to say we will take them lightly. Ireland have been playing good cricket. But in our conditions, which suit slow bowlers, we are a good bowling side: Shakib Al Hasan, hinting that Bangladesh would target Ireland with spin.
I think Holland have made a statement which has come as no surprise to Holland and likewise on Friday we will make a statement which will come as no surprise to us: Andrew White, mentioning that Ireland had been inspired by the valiant performance of Netherlands against England.

Internauts, today we celebrate this glorious technology that brings us all together! On August 23, 1991 — 25 years ago today — the public gained access for the first time to the World Wide Web, designed and deployed by computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee at CERN in Switzerland.
It gave rise to the internet as we know and use it today.
The internet and the World Wide Web are not interchangeable. The internet was first connected in 1969, and refers to the network that carries information between nodes. The World Wide Web refers to the space on this network where information, such as web pages and documents, are stored. Think of the World Wide Web as neurons, and the internet as synapses.
In 1980, Berner-Lee had created a personal database of people and software models at CERN. It was here he deployed the use of hypertext, where each page linked to another, already existing page. Over the next decade, he would develop this further, and in 1989 proposed the idea of "a universal linked information system" to help physicists collaborate, combining the internet with hypertext.
In 1990, he built the HyperText Transfer Protocol (which you may know as HTTP); the HyperText Markup Language (HTML); Uniform Resource Identifier (or URL); the first web browser and server; and the first web pages.
The very first web page, which can be found online at its original URL, went live on August 6, 1991. At this point, it was only available to users at CERN, and it was a short page explaining what the World Wide Web actually was.
On August 23, 1991, new users outside of CERN were invited to join the web, marking its official anniversry, or Internaut Day. And in April 1993, CERN announced the decisionto make the underlying code for the web royalty-free in perpetuity.
"Had the technology been proprietary, and in my total control, it would probably not have taken off," Berners-Lee explained. "The decision to make the web an open system was necessary for it to be universal. You can't propose that something be a universal space and at the same time keep control of it."
While Berners-Lee feels there's room for improvement, there's no denying the web has achieved magnificent things in its 25 years so far. Here's to the next 25 years of scintillating cat gifs.

Fiscal Year 2007/2008
SEAMEO BIOTROP as a host institution of RCE Bogor has been conducting several activities related to community development and education for sustainability development. Several stakeholders' meetings have been conducted resulting the willingness of the stakeholders to take part in action in the domain of ESD. At the moment, RCE Bogor stakeholders consist of Municipality of Bogor, research centres, selected public and private primary and high schools, NGOs and business enterprises. Ministry of Men Power and Transmigration has included the activities related to ESD in cooperation with RCE Bogor.
Internally, at SEAMEO BIOTROP Campus, a pilot project: "the Green and Clean" activity by managing our organic waste from the canteen has been conducted. We separate our waste to compost the organic matter. A technology for managing waste from Bogor market using worms has been applied. This programme is the continuation of the cooperation programme with municipality of Bogor since 2004.
An agribusiness workshop focusing on Floriculture was conducted at SEAMEO BIOTROP on 1 May 2007. Dr Benny Tjia from PT Mandiri Jaya Tropika (private enterprise) presented his experienced in the floriculture business. The workshop was attended by 26 (twenty six) participants from government agencies, private enterprises, and farmers.
On 2 August 2007, a seminar on "Education for Sustainable Management" was conducted. Forty-five participants from SEAMEO BIOTROP (staff and scientists), IPB staff, IPB students, private enterprises and senior high school teachers attended the seminar. The resource person for this seminar was Mrs Tri Mumpuni from People Cantered Business and Economic Institute (IBEKA) based in Bandung. Mrs Tri Mumpuni and her team have successfully implemented numerous electrification projects, which resulted in more than 50 villages in remote parts of Indonesia having access to electrical power. She shared her expertise in the seminar by initiating a forum on energy efficiency and conservation in Indonesia and how to work with media on an accurate coverage of energy issues.
Mrs Tri's community-based hydro electrification scheme is bringing electricity to the 75 million rural Indonesians currently without it. Indonesian communities have experimented with small-scale hydropower generation in the past, but the technology's scalability has been limited by financial and regulatory obstacles. She launches community-based off-grid hydro systems, which she then connects with the state-run electricity company. This attractive business model draws private investors to provide the initial funding for the hydropower system in partnership with the community, allowing her to rapidly spread her model across Indonesia.
On 28 May 2008, a training on organic farming, focusing on "Organic Farming Activities at School Garden" was conducted for science school teachers. Thirteen various school teachers (primary, junior, high and special schools), including private schools participated in the training. The school teachers agreed to insert practical activities such as organic farming in their teaching. A request on curriculum design for biology has been raised from this training. RCE Bogor and SEAMEO BIOTROP will be the host and the facilitator to fulfill this demand.
|Training on "Organic Farming Activities at School Garden" to Science School Teachers
The seminar on Education for Sustainable Development I: Environmental Conservation and Economic Value Added of Waste was jointly organized by RCE-Bogor and SEAMEO Regional Centre for Tropical Biology on 19 June 2008 at SEAMEO BIOTROP, Bogor. The seminar was attended by 90 participants i.e. high school teachers, college students, and private sectors.
A keynote paper entitled "Urban Waste Management Model and Economic Valuation of Waste" was presented by Dr Hartrisari H, BIOTROP Enterprise Development Centre Unit Head. She concluded that urban waste management model could be used to predict the amount of waste related to the total allocated funds for waste transportation. In addition, Dr Hartrisari explained that waste management model could also be used as a tool for policymaking in the management of urban waste.

**October 16 - 20**
As you may recall from my last post ~click~...
I started week 3 in my FUtoshoot Prep on a good note!
1. I had a great sushi dinner!
2. My article made its way into our local paper; and
3. SuperFit told me I was right on track in my preparation!
|October 13. 2011
BeFUre my afternoon cardio.
After having spent a great day with SuperFit on my FUrst FUll day back (from my trip away from home ~click~)...
We suited up and got ready FU our long run of the week!
If anything...
We had a great run!!!
I set a personal best (PB, mmm PB!)...
In the FUrst 5K!
We FUnished 10K in 1 hour.
When we step FU't in the house...
I reFUeled (as usual) with...
A Malt-like Chocolate/Vanilla Protein Bowl!
6 o.z. Vanilla Almond Milk, 1 Scoop of Chocolate Protein Powder,
1 tbsp. Greek Yogurt, 1 Packet of Vanilla Stevia, 1 tsp. of Xantham Gum and
6 Ice Cubes.
Don't tell me this doesn't look Nomee!!!
It's one of my FUvorite snacks right now!
Tip: Put your bowl in the FUreezer FU 5 minutes (or longer)...
It makes it more ice cream like :)
**Almond Milk has now been removed from my 'diet'**
Out of nowhere...
My left leg, knee, calf (I had no idea) gave out! (I had to hang on to the counter to lift any weight from my leg!)
It was so painFUl to stand on that...
I couldn't walk without yelping!
We iced the area we thought I injured! (My injury wasn't sensitive to the touch, it was deeper than that so it was hard to find!)
After a good hour...
We headed out to Starbucks! (I was still in severe pain but thought it would eventually go away - it didn't!)
I had a Non-Fat, Sugar-FUree Caramel Frappuccino!
No whip. Just the fat-FUree milk, coffee, sugar-FUree FUlavoring and Ice.
I had with Red Peppers and a slice of Allegro Cheese.
We soon left as the pain was unbearable! (So much FU my bright idea!)
After laying down FU a little while...
I made us a quick dinner! (Well, as fast as I could move that is!)
I had Egg Whites with Basil and Red Peppers
(I cooked them in a pan FUrst) served on Tortilla Shells.
I decided to modify my Pizza from the evening prior.
It was pretty good!
I made SuperFit Pasta with Chicken...
Pretty well the same ingredients as the evening prior.
(I wasn't in the most creative of moods lol)
2 tbsp. of Pesto, Red Peppers, Mushrooms,
Chili Peppers, Salt and Pepper to taste and of course...
I mixed the Spaghetti and Chicken together once they were both cooked.
I timed it well enough so that both our dishes were ready at the same time :)
I also made extras FU SuperFit! (He likes these leftovers!)
It beats a Protein Shake! ;)
The next day...
It was time to go to the Doctors! (It wasn't getting any better!)
After Xrays and a last minute appointment at Physio (I've never been to Physio)...
The prognosis was...
I obviously did something to my knee area!
The problem was...
I had referring pain in my leg that it was difFUcult to localize where it was stemming from.
I was given:
1. Anti-inFUlammatories;
2. A FU exercises to work on from the Physio Therapist; and
3. Crutches.
I was told to:
1. Stay home (FU the remainder of the week);
2. Ice the inFUlammed area;
3. Come back FU more Physio sessions;
|Muscle Contracting Device.
It feels like little electric shocks.
|Another machine with a similar type affect...
|Except it's over ice.
3. Stop weight training FU a week (or until I saw a drastic change in my recovery); and
4. Stop all of my cardio. (Until FUrther notice!)
1. Time off work; and
2. A little dent in my prep (training wise) FU my shoot and in the *CaNdY FiT* Challenge!
I wasn't too thrilled...
Sometimes these things happen and...
**As a side note: Neither the Doctor nor the Physio Therapist saw anything wrong in the mileage I've been running (I progressed within the right timelines). The run could have caused/aggravated the injury, which does add some level of fear when I get back into the FUll swing of things! I'm hoping it doesn't happen again because it's deFUnitely not FUn (when is pain FUn?!)! That said, within a FU days of my injury, the Physio Therapist and I were FUnally able to localize the pain (after the swelling had gone down). The good news is: I didn't damage any ligaments. It's a muscle strain in my upper calf, which is the less severe injury of the two. FUew!!!**
Either way...
Never did it cross my mind to give up!
I'm going to continue along (with the adjustments at hand - yep, adjustments) and...
Give 100% of myself to my goal and...
To the *CaNdY FiT* Challenge! (click)
So FU now...
I'm doing what I can and...
DeFUnitely getting some good R&R :)
DeFUnitely getting some good R&R :)
**Note: I have every intention to continue training FU a half-marathon (once I get the green light to put my runners back on!). But trust me, I'm not rushing into anything beFUre I know I'm ready!**
Questions FU you...
1. Have you ever sustained a sports injury?
2. Did you fear going back to the sport that caused it?
3. Did you ever think of giving up?
4. How did you bounce back from it?
Stay tuned to find out how we made it all work so as not to hinder my progress in my prep on *CaNdY FiT*!

Halifax Harbour: A Geological Journey
Halifax Harbour, Nova Scotia is the biggest and busiest port in Atlantic Canada and possibly the World's largest ice-free harbour. Questions of how and why it formed and what secrets lie beneath its waters are answered in this revealing video.
Narrator George Jordan and some local students ask a group of scientists, technologists and historians to explain the history of the Harbour. The story began millions of years ago, with the formation of the bedrock - some of which travelled thousands of kilometres to be here. During the last ice age, tens of thousands of years ago, glaciers shaped the Harbour into an attractive location for settlement and the development of the modern port. New seabed mapping techniques have revealed the presence of former lakes and ancient shorelines. Sediment cores and remains of submerged trees provide details about the last few thousand years. Some of the most fascinating discoveries are the timbers and railroad track from two bridges that spanned the Harbour in the nineteenth century. The importance of the Harbour's geology is illustrated by the role a high glacial till played in saving lives, when it partially blocked the enormous force of the Halifax Explosion in 1917. Rising sea level continues to affect the formation of the Harbour and the impact of humans will be felt well into the future.

'Bulletproof Coffin' Creators Cut Up 'FANTASTIC FOUR #2' With Scissors. For Art.
I can get behind this insanity from the creators of Bulletproof Coffin. They goddamn cut up a copy of Fantastic Four #2. You see, I don't collect comic books. I read them. Sometimes I rip out pages and stick them on my wall in moments of inspiration. However, with an issue of this nature…I may show a little more reserve. So double-daps to them.
Hit the jump for pics and info.
Comics Alliance:
To illustrate the concept behind an upcoming issue of their excellent Image comic, Bulletproof Coffin, creators David Hine and Shaky Kane have taken a pair of scissors and cut an issue of Fantastic Four #2 into pieces. COLLECTIVE GASP! The pair removed individual panels from the classic Jack Kirby comic and placed them in different order as a demonstration of cut-up technique, wherein components of a work (usually, lines of text) are rearranged to create an entirely new narrative. Behold their superhero comics apostasy with horror and/or fascination!

Rooney on the way back
Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney has confirmed that he expects to be back in action at the start of April.
Rooney is battling to recover from a knee ligament injury that has kept him out of action since United's 2-1 defeat against Sunderland on February 13th, yet it seems as if he is edging closer to a recovery.
United boss Louis van Gaal was reluctant to put a timescale on Rooney's comeback, which sparked rumours of a setback for the 30-year-old striker, but he offered a more upbeat version of events as he spoke to reporters as United confirmed a sponsorship deal with Gulf Oil International.
"It is going as planned," Rooney told reporters. "It is going how we first thought. It is going well so hopefully it won't be too long now.
"I don't know for definite but it could be after the international break, obviously I will miss the England games, but it shouldn't be too long after that.
"It is not too bad. We are being a bit cautious. It is a difficult one to try and push. If I try and push and be involved now it could cause more damage. So we are being cautious. After the international break is a more realistic target."
Rooney also confirmed he will be fit and ready for England's Euro 2016 campaign this summer, after reports suggested he may be an injury doubt for the finals in France.
"I am hoping if I am back when I am expected to be back, depending on the two cups we are still in, then there could be 10 games left for United plus the England friendly games so I don't think that would be a worry," he added.

Apologies for my slack posting of late, I've been rehearsing and now performing in a production of Caryl Churchill's Top Girls at the New Theatre in Newtown, Sydney. If you're in the hood and would like to come you can book tickets on the New Theatre website. We run Wednesdays to Saturdays (730pm) and Sundays (5pm) until August 3.
We've had some lovely reviews from SMH Jason Blake's Eight Nights A Week, Stage Whispers, The Fifth Wall and Theatre From The Back Seat. I know I'm biased but it really is a great ensemble show. Would love to see you there.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — The youngest half-brother of late President Gerald Ford has died. He was 90.
Richard Ford's death Friday in Grand Rapids was disclosed by the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation.
Gerald Ford had three half-brothers after his mother's second marriage. Marty Allen, a longtime family friend, tells The Grand Rapids Press (http://bit.ly/1OfNRjy ) that Richard Ford was a "relatively quiet person who was not interested in the limelight."
Richard Ford ran the family's paint company.
Gerald Ford died in 2006. He was a congressman from western Michigan before becoming vice president in 1973. He was president from August 1974 to 1977 after Richard Nixon's resignation.

Teenager Adrian Barath has earned a maiden West Indies call for the first Test against Bangladesh starting later this week.
The 19-year-old opener has been knocking hard on the door of selection, following his first-class debut two years ago, and is considered to be one of the most impressive young batting talents in the West Indies.
The batting of the diminutive Barath has caught the attention of Brian Lara, and he was invited by the West Indies batting legend to attend a function at Lord's honouring Lara's record-breaking contribution to the game.
He however, has now convinced the selectors that he is probably ready, after he was the fourth highest scorer in this year's West Indies first-class championship with 845 runs at an average of 44.47 for his native Trinidad & Tobago.
With Fidel Edwards still recovering from a lower back injury and unavailable for selection, the selectors have also included Ravi Rampaul, who has played One-day Internationals, but is yet to play Tests, and the uncapped Andrew Richardson to form the pace attack alongside Jerome Taylor in the 13-member squad.
The two leading batsmen in the first-class competition - Guyana's Narsingh Deonarine and Runako Morton of the Leeward Islands - have also been included in the squad.
The notable omissions from the West Indies' previous Test series in England include Lionel Baker and Lendl Simmons.
The first Test starts on Thursday at the Arnos Vale Sports Complex in St. Vincent.
West Indies include teenager for first Test
Teenager Adrian Barath has earned a maiden West Indies call for the first Test against Bangladesh starting later this week.
