Lemon-Garlic Slow Cooker Chicken - Easy
The following recipe is brought to you courtesy of a co-worker, Nancy. She mentioned this very easy recipe the other day, and when she got to the part about not sauteing the leeks nor pre-soaking the beans I was practically jumping up and down with glee. So after a
The amount of black-eyed peas was not mentioned in the recipe, so I guesstimated at 2 cups.
Lemon Garlic Slow Cooker Chicken
Serves 6-8
2 cups diced leeks
2 cups dried black-eyed peas, rinsed and checked for debris
12 cloves of garlic, peeled and smashed using the side of a large knife
2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 cup dry white wine
2 cups chicken broth (low-sodium preferred)
1 whole lemon, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon kosher salt (1/2 tsp. if not using low-sodium broth)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Place diced leeks into a 4-quart slow-cooker. Cover leeks with black-eyed peas. Spread garlic cloves on top of peas.
Arrange chicken thighs on top of garlic and peas, overlapping as necessary.
Pour in wine and broth. Season with salt and pepper.
Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until peas are tender.
Serve hot, preferably on gorgeous china.

After the Irish rugby team beat Australia last week at the Rugby World Cup, members of the Irish diaspora in Australia and New Zealand went deeply into their cups and an inborn sentimentality for all things green and peaty. The rest of the world, meanwhile, sat around wondering how the Irish ever defeated mighty Australia.
The answer is the "choke," a tackling strategy created by Les Kiss, the Irish defensive coach, that exploits a loophole in rugby rules. The Wall Street Journal (among others), explains:
What makes the choke so effective is the way it has reinvented one of this game's oldest and most established arts: the tackle. For more than a century, rugby players have used the same basic technique to take down opponents: Hit them low and mash them into the turf as quickly as possible. Even as teams employ bigger, faster payers, the fact that they fall over if you hit them low enough has remained true.
For Ireland, the reverse is true. Instead of trying to take down opposing ball carriers, this team of muscular brutes wants to hold runners upright and prevent them from hitting the ground with a tandem of chest-high tackles-roughly akin to receiving a bear hug from a boa constrictor.
"You dare not leave runners isolated in the tackle," said Ben Kay, a former England international and now a rugby analyst for ESPN. "They're like a pack of dogs."
Executing the choke requires two defenders to tackle a ball carrier from either side. One goes high, trapping the runner's arms against his body, the other goes low, preventing him from reaching the ground.
The physical toll required to perform the choke is so exhausting that it would have been impossible to implement without the fitter, faster, physically stronger players in today's game or the time to practice it obsessively which is now available in the professional era. But when it works, it traps opposing runners in a sort of suspended animation.
When the Irish have their opponent choked, they try to strip the ball. They also win possession if a scrum results. The strategy appears to be a genuine innovation in the way rugby will be played and, likely, governed in the future. Other teams are already copying Ireland.
Where one loophole closes, however, another opens. In 2009, the rugby rules changed to penalize defenders who held an opponent down in an attempt to steal the ball, a tactic also embraced by Ireland. The idea was to create the conditions for longer, more exciting runs. Instead, the new rules begat the choke, which prevents runners from hitting the ground altogether. This, of course, is how Sport evolves: a cheeky underdog facing long odds bends the rules and, eventually, redefines them.

An audio tape by the 15-year-old singing sophomore was submitted online to "The X Factor" television music competition recently by his mom, Michelle.
To everyone's surprise, not the least of all Ty's and Michelle's, Ty Desharnais has outcompeted countless other contestants to make it through the first couple layers of auditions for the show. Now, he is waiting to hear if he'll survive to the semifinal round, where contestants audition at the homes of competition judges.
To the victor of the competition go the spoils: $5 million and a recording contract.
"It was crazy," said Desharnais, who recently had a taped live audition before judges and a large audience in Los Angeles. "My heart was pounding. I thought my voice would change."
But he not only got through it, he got four "yes" votes from the judges which, Desharnais said, "Was as good as you can do."
Dersharnais sang "Lego House" by Ed Sheeran.
A self-described math and science "geek" who thinks he'd ultimately like to be an engineer, Desharnais said he's never really fancied himself as a singer.
But Michelle Desharnais says different.
"He used to constantly be singing. It would drive me insane," she said.
But she also admits she began listening, finally determining that her son actually "sounded pretty good."
"He had a nice tone," Michelle Desharnais said.
She finally talked him into getting voice lessons, which have since paid dividends.
It was Michelle who finally coaxed Desharnais into recording a song which she submitted online to the "X Factor."
Michelle Desharnais said she and her son both realize the odds against him since he's competing "against professionals, against people who give voice lessons."
But she was quick to point out that, win or lose, competing in the contest will be "a great story to tell his grandkids."
Ty Desharnais said the experience already has been character changing, making him feel more secure in his abilities — and bolder in his aspirations.
"Anything I try to do, I try to do to the fullest," he said. "Sometimes my goals seem a little high, almost impossible. Almost is the key word. Nothing's impossible."
Of actually singing on a stage in front of a live audience, Ty Desharnais said, "It was great, overwhelming. It was like nothing I've ever felt before."
He said he would recommend the experience to "anyone who has a dream of singing and wanting to fulfill it."
Ty Desharnais said you have to have talent to be a singer, but, like anything else, you have to work hard to develop the necessary skills.
"You can't just jump into this and think you can sing," he said. "You have to go to a voice coach and learn how to breathe through your diaphragm and how to say your vowels."
Most importantly, Ty Desharnais said, to be good at doing something like singing, you just have to roll with it.
"You have to have fun with it," he said. "Don't be worried about it. Just go and have fun. I did. I'm thankful for the awesome experience."

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- A measure of small-business sentiment in December edged up but still was the second-worst reading since March 2010, the National Federation of Independent Business said Tuesday. The NFIB small-business optimism index rose 0.5 point to 88.0, to a level the group says is in recession territory. November's reading was the worst since March 2010. Gains in earnings trends and expectations that real sales will be higher helped to offset a 4-point drop in plans to increase employment. "The January survey results will be far more enlightening about how the sector views the [fiscal cliff]-higher taxes and minimal spending cuts may not be a panacea," said NFIB chief economist Bill Dunkelberg in a statement. The report is based on the responses of 648 randomly sampled small businesses in NFIB's membership.

AT&T is now taking pre-orders on the Motorola Atrix and is expected to deliver the handset to customers by March 6th. Those willing to sign up for a new two year contract will be able to reserve on of the handsets for $199.99. But if you're more of a free spirit or a want to pick up the handset in the middle of your contract, the full retail price for the Atrix is set at $499.99.
While the phone itself isn't terribly expensive, if you were planning on using the Motorola Atrix to its full potential, you'll need to save up quite a bit of extra cash. The Motorola Atrix Laptop Dock will set you back $299 after a $100 mail-in-rebate while the full Webtop Access Kit (including dock, keyboard, mouser and remote) will cost you $189. The Motorola Atrix is by far the most feature-rich device scheduled to launch this spring; I'm just not convinced that most people will have the money to unlock the true power inside Motorola's first Tegra 2 powered handset.

The Meaning and Importance of Pro-Social Behavior
By Graydon Gordian
Sharing, taking turns, listening to one another: Sesame Street has been encouraging these kinds of benevolent actions since the show's first episodes. Here at Sesame Workshop, our early childhood education specialists call these kinds of actions "pro-social behavior." It's a term we use often when talking about the empathy and kindness we try to engender in children.
But we can't all be early childhood education specialists, which means we might not all recognize the term pro-social behavior right away. That's why we wanted to take a few minutes and explain exactly what we mean when we use the term.
According to our early childhood education experts, pro-social behavior is when children show positive behaviors such as sharing, cooperating, empathy, and taking turns when interacting with others. These skills can help children build strong friendships and relationships and enable children to navigate different social circumstances in a constructive manner.
Put differently, children experience many of the same emotional trials as adults – interpersonal conflict, the loss of loved ones, even the challenges of economic hardship are not lost on children. If a child is not given the emotional tools to handle those trials, they can have a lasting negative impact on his or her life. The more emotional education a child can receive at a young age, the better. If children's behavioral problems are ignored, they are more likely to struggle in school and act out later in life.
The value of encouraging "pro-social behavior" at a young age isn't just a theory of ours. Our research and education team has demonstrated its importance and the effectiveness of our educational methods time and again. For instance, children who view Sesame Street episodes with pro-social messages exhibit significantly higher levels of pro-social behavior than those who do not watch, as much as 40% higher.
For more information about pro-social behavior and Sesame Street's proven ability to encourage it in young children, check out our page on emotional wellbeing.

TROY – Physical activity improves a child's academic performance and provides a possible new treatment option for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), according to a Chinese professor and researcher participating in Troy University's Second Annual Alabama-China Symposium on Education and Culture.
Dr. Jinxia Dong, a professor of physical education at Peking University, one of China's leading universities, represented one of eight Chinese universities participating in the symposium. Dong, a former gymnast and past coach of Scotland's national women's gymnastics team, conducts research on exercise and cognitive abilities that are crucial to academic and life success.
"Sports are not just good for your body, they're good for your brain," she said. "Parents in China have very high expectations of their children. Young kids study very hard, and don't have time for physical things."
Dong's research links computer technology with conventional exercise to improve a child's cognitive abilities. As part of her research, she developed a three-game computer program with more than 200 competitive levels, along with a conventional exercise routine that includes activities requiring a high level of attention such as relay races or balancing a bean bag on the head. Her research concluded that the physical activities activated the same neurocognitive systems as the computer games.
In addition, children participating in clinical trials who had Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) saw improved attention and memory as a result of the physical activity, leading to the theory that ADHD students could gain a greater foothold academically by engaging in exercise.
"The program was deemed a success when the trial group of students did better in reading and math exams than traditional students," she said, adding the trial group also scored higher in physical tests, showing greater flexibility than their counterparts.
Dong hopes to convince parents in China that education needs to incorporate technology and physical exercise.
"The research provides an opportunity for parents with ADHD children to potentially overcome that situation," said Dr. John Miller, Interim Dean of the College of Health and Human Services, and a leading researcher in the sport management field.
"From a health perspective, Dr. Dong's research is important because it gives us an option not thought of beforehand to address an illness like ADHD," said Dr. John Miller, interim dean of Troy University's College of Health and Human Services and a leading researcher in the sport management field. "This research provides an opportunity for parents with ADHD children to potentially overcome that situation."
For Miller, Troy University's Alabama-China Symposium on Education and Culture provides students and the state with significant research results and more.
"Students get an insight into unique and cutting-edge research, and it also gives them insight into different cultures," he said. "An activity such as this breaks down the barrier and shows our students that we can collaborate with people from a different country."
The symposium, conducted Tuesday through Thursday, was focused on educational and research collaboration between Troy University and Chinese universities and their faculty members.

King Men's and Women's Tennis began the 2012-13 season at Concord University where the Tornado earned an 8-1 win while the Lady Tornado dropped a 6-3 decision.
BRISTOL, Tenn. – King Men's and Women's Tennis began the 2012-13 season on Thursday evening (Sept. 27) against the University of Concord. The men's team defeated the Mountain Lions in commanding fashion, 8-1, while the women suffered a 6-3 loss.
The Tornado, led by a squad with five of six returning players from last year's Conference Carolinas Tournament team, cruised to an 8-1 victory over the Mountain Lions, sustaining only one loss in singles play to keep them from a shutout. All-Conference Carolinas selections from a year ago, Rodrigo Avila and Pablo Vidal, each defeated their opponents with ease and allowed a combined five points against them. Avila, a native of Cuernavaca, Mexico, defeated Diogo Monterio 6-1, 6-0 to kick off singles play. Vidal followed with a 6-2, 6-2 victory to continue the wave of five straight singles match wins.
The Tornado swept men's doubles play, beginning with a Vidal/Avila victory (8-2) over Monterio and Danny Fonrondona. Leo Brigato and Vitor Villar followed with an 8-4 win and Patrick Jones and Rafael Francisco completed the sweep with a 9-7 win over Bill Wright and Felix Riba.
On the women's side, Karissa King and Mariana Hosomi ruled their side of the court, each winning their singles matches and then coupling for a doubles match win. King defeated Laura Leon (6-1, 6-1) in the Lady Tornado's first singles match of the evening, followed by the freshman Hosomi, who beat Savannah Taylor easily, 6-1, 6-0.
The two wins by King and Hosomi evened the team scored at three each after the Mountain Lions took a 2-1 edge in doubles play, but Concord came out with back-to-back singles victories by Kirby Mustard and Hannah Faegre to clinch the match. After the end of singles play, Concord won the match 6-3.
King and Hosomi also won their doubles match against the Concord combination of Laura Leon and Kirby Mustard by an 8-5 count.
Both teams will play Georgetown College (KY) in their next match on Oct. 12 in Georgetown, Ky. First service is set for 1 p.m.

Eight European military observers held prisoner by pro-Russia insurgents in eastern Ukraine appeared in public Sunday and gave assurances that they weren't being mistreated, but there was no indication they would be released soon.
The insurgents in Slovyansk have taken a number of people hostage, including journalists and pro-Ukraine activists, as they strengthen their control in the east of the country in defiance of the interim government in Kiev and its Western supporters. On Sunday, they captured three Ukrainian security service officers, who were shown to Russian journalists bloodied and blindfolded with packing tape.
Col. Axel Schneider from Germany, who spoke for the group of military observers, stressed that they were on a diplomatic mission under the auspices of the Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe when detained Friday and weren't spying for NATO, as the insurgents claim.
The observers, who appeared nervous, were in the custody of armed men wearing camouflage fatigues and black balaclavas, who escorted them into the Slovyansk city hall for the news conference and led them away afterward. Schneider, however, said they were being treated as well as possible under the circumstances.
"The mayor of this city granted us his protection and he regarded us as his guests," Schneider told journalists in Slovyansk, which has become the center of the pro-Russia insurgency in eastern Ukraine. "I can tell you that the word of the mayor is a word of honor. We have not been touched."
Schneider said he no information about when they would be released and that this was a matter for diplomats of their countries. In addition to three German officers and a civilian interpreter, the group also includes officers from Poland, Sweden, Denmark and the Czech Republic.
The German colonel said he understood that the self-proclaimed mayor, Vyacheslav Ponomarev, could use the observers as a bargaining chip.
"Our presence here in Slovyansk is for sure a political instrument for the decision makers here in the region and the possibility to use it for negotiations," Schneider said. "It's logical in the eyes of Mayor Ponomarev that he can use us to present his positions."
Ponomarev said Saturday that the European observers could be released in exchange for jailed pro-Russia activists.
The mayor has refused to specify how many Ukrainian journalists and activists his forces have detained, but he suggested it was several dozen.
Ukrainian security detainees
On Sunday, the insurgents captured three Ukrainian security service officers, who were shown to journalists in the security service headquarters in Slovyansk. Stripped of their trousers and shoes, they sat with heads bowed.
Igor Strelkov, who has been identified as the commander of the armed insurgents, said the three Ukrainian officers were on a mission to seize leaders of the pro-Russia force when they were captured.
Ukraine's Security Service confirmed that its officers had been seized by armed men. The officers were on a mission to detain a Russian citizen suspected in the killing of a Ukrainian parliament member, the agency said in a statement.
The Ukrainian government and the West have accused Russia of using covert forces to encourage the unrest in eastern Ukraine, where pro-Russia militias have seized police stations and government buildings in at least 10 cities and towns.
The U.S. and other nations in the Group of Seven have announced plans to impose additional economic sanctions on Russia in response to its actions in Ukraine. The European Union also is planning more sanctions, with ambassadors from the bloc's 28 members to meet Monday in Brussels to add to the list of Russian officials who have been hit by asset freezes and travel bans.
"The more names we add to that list the more they do bite in the Russian economy," British Foreign Secretary William Hague said Sunday on Sky News. "But we are also working on more far-reaching measures of economic, trade and financial sanctions. ... We will go ahead with them if necessary, if Russia continues to escalate this crisis."

Tackle the Two-Minute Drill!
"If you are the parent of a teenager, whether you realize it or not, you are coming down to what I call the two-minute drill," writes former University of Alabama gridiron star John Croyle. "The two-minute drill is best known as those last two minutes of a football game, and they are crucial. Those two minutes don't diminish the rest of the game. In fact, the rest of the game builds to these few moments, and they so often determine the final outcome of the game."

|Simulation of Electron and Ion Dynamics in an EBIS
Funding: Grant supported by DOE office of Nuclear Physics
To model the dynamics of the ions in an Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS), a time-dependent, self-consist particle-in-cell Monte Carlo code (EBIS-PIC) has been developed by FAR-TECH, Inc. The energetic background electron beam is modeled by PBGUNS (http://www.far-tech.com/pbguns/index.html) by dividing the long beam path into several segments to resolve the big length-to-radius spatial scaling problem. The injected primary ions and ionized neutral gas ions are tracked using Monte Carlo method which includes the ionization, charge-exchange and Coulomb collisions with the electron beam and the neutral gas in the potential well, which is calculated by solving the Poisson equation each time step. EBIS-PIC has been able to predict the spatial and velocity space distributions and the evolution of the charge state distribution (CSD) of trapped ions in EBIS devices operating in fast or slow trapping mode. The physical model of EBIS-PIC code and the simulations of the trapping and charge-breeding of injected Cs+1 ions on the Test EBIS* at BNL will be presented. The simulation results have shown good consistency with the experiments.

The Journal of Adventist Education recently won the Distinguished Achievement Award for Whole Publication Design for its theme issue "Principalship and Administration" (Oct/Nov 2012) from the Association of Educational Publishers (AEP) on June 4. Janet Ledesma, associate professor of leadership and Educational Leadership coordinator in the Andrews University Department of Leadership, guest edited and coordinated this issue.
Ledesma spent most of the spring semester of 2012 assembling articles, arranging for peer review, conducting research, and doing editorial duties, including writing a guest editorial. Ledesma worked closely with Journal of Adventist Education editor Beverly Robinson-Rumble and leadership doctoral student Evelyn Savory in constructing the issue.
"I am extremely grateful for Dr. Ledesma's assistance in bringing this project to fruition," says Robinson-Rumble, "as it had been stalled for several years and I had nearly given up on ever getting the issue into print." Robinson and Ledesma submitted the issue to both the Association of Educational Publishers and the Associated Church Press.
At the 2013 AEP Awards Gala in June in Washington D.C., Robinson-Rumble accepted the award, accompanied by Lisa Beardsley-Hardy, General Conference Director of Education, and Harry Knox, JAE art director. The Journal of Adventist Education also placed as a finalist in three categories: Learned Article, Whole Publication Design, and Feature Article.
The Journal of Adventist Education has won AEP awards on multiple occasions, including Distinguished Achievement Awards for separate articles, feature articles and entire publications.
The Journal of Adventist Education, begun in 1978, is a resource for Christian K–12 teachers, university professors and administrators of all levels. The journal publishes eight issues a year, and includes practical and theoretical articles on praxis, pedagogy and integrating faith in the classroom.

Wrap It Up
When looking to instantly add some punch to an outfit Nicole Feliciano of Momtrends suggests picking "one statement accessory that makes the outfit without overwhelming it." Her favorite go-to accessory? A scarf!

The Little Black Blazer
Cardis are so 2011. Instead, Jill Seiman of Glamamom tops off her outfits with a black blazer, because "I can throw it on over a dress or a t-shirt and jeans." Her favorite is "tailored and fitted; I've had it for years."

Double Duty
Nina Banks of Momma Go Round's favorite style secret is as easy as flat-ironing her hair, but she doesn't stop there! "My flat iron does double duty—on my hair and my clothes!" says Banks. "I don't take the time to get my big iron out; while I'm doing my hair I might as well do my shirt at the same time." On the left, she flat ironed the ruffles on her yellow top, and the plackets on her plaid button-up shirt.

Dry Shampoo
Mornings are tough! And even though you'd never admit it (OK, maybe you would), sometimes you don't have time to shower. That doesn't stop Melissa Angert over at All Things Chic: "When you're running so far behind, dry shampoo is a life saver." Her fave? "Suave makes one called Keratin Infusion, it's great for making your hair smooth and silky."
Suave Professionals Keratin Infusion Dry Shampoo, $3.49, available at amazon.com

Juicy Fruit
When Pantone announced Tangerine Tango as the color of 2012, Shana Draugelis of Ain't No Mom Jeans thought of an easy (and comfortable!) way for a mom to incorporate this citrusy hue: "Ballet flats are coming out in a ton of colors, and I've seen some in tangerine." In particular, she's a fan of J. Crew's Lula patent leather ballet flats ($128) and rainy day bow ballet flats ($58).

Easy as 1-2-3
Unless the carpool lane is your personal red carpet, Kate Marsh Lord at The Shopping Mama has the key to your morning makeup routine: "For me, there's no need to do a full face of makeup or a blow out to take my kids to school." Instead she sticks to three basics: mascara, lip gloss and moisturizer. She's a particular fan of Fresh Sugar Plum Tinted Lip Treatment ($22.50, sephora.com) because the "plum color is subtle and adds a little color; I'm totally addicted!" Check out her mascara and moisturizer picks here:
- Buxom Lash Mascara (in Blackest Black), $19, available at sephora.com
- Meaningful Beauty Anti-oxidant Day Crème SPF 20 UVA/UVB (part of an multi-product skincare system), $39.95, available at meaningfulbeauty.com

Pack a Punch
Why carry around a neutral black bag if your mom uniform is tan, gray and blah? "Put some thought into it; get away from the neutral handbag, and it will make an impact to your overall look," says Tammy Gibson of A Mom in Red High Heels. Her bags are big enough to carry all the mom essentials, while participating in one of the biggest spring trends: a pop of bright color!

The Quickie
All-in-one makeup products get the job done, quick. "One of my favorite products is the NARS Multiple stick in 'Orgasm' [a peachy pink]," says Whitney Wingerd from Mommies with Style. "I keep it in my purse because it can work as a blush and a lipstick when I'm on the run."
NARS The Multiple, $39, available at sephora.com

Insta-Beach Waves
What woman doesn't want perfectly un-perfect beachy waves? Molly Dynan Navetta of Ain't No Mom Jeans found a mom-friendly way to achieve the look. "I'll shower the night before, dry my hair until its a little bit damp, flip my head over, comb it smooth and twist my hair in a top knot," (a ballerina-style bun that sits on the top of your head). When she wakes up, "it's nice and wavy and full in the morning, and it has interest and texture to it."

Put a Cape on It
Lauren Jimeson at A Mommy in the City recently gave birth to her second daughter, but her go-to maternity uniform of a cape paired with leggings and boots works for preggos and non-preggos alike. Celeb moms like Katherine Heigl and Sandra Bullock also love this easy trend.

Top It Off
Regular readers of The Stylish Housewife are no strangers to Jenn Rager's love of a good DIY mani. Being a self-proclaimed "nail polish addict," Rager believes that manicures are the new accessory, but for a busy mom the dry time can be frustrating. Enter Jenn's fail proof product, Seche Vite top coat. "As a mom it's a lifesaver to dry your nails so quickly; it's one of my favorite time saving things. I put it on and I can pick up my son literally a minute later. I've used other top coats, but after finding this I can't live without it!"

The Seventh session of the AWG-KP and fifth session of the AWG-LCA took place from Sunday 29 March to Wednesday 8 April 2009 at the Maritim Hotel, Bonn. It was the first of five planned negotiating sessions before COP 15 in Copenhagen in December.
Seventh session of the AWG-KP
In 2009 the Group will focus on agreeing on further commitments for Annex I Parties under the Kyoto Protocol. Such an agreement will emerge as the Group develops: A text for any proposed amendments pursuant to Article 3.9 of the Kyoto Protocol, and a text on the issues outlined in paragraph 49 of document FCCC/KP/AWG/2008/8. At its seventh session, the AWG-KP discussed issues identified in paragraph 49 of document FCCC/KP/AWG/2008/8. It also considered four notes prepared by the Chair with a view to advancing work on the aforementioned texts. The seventh session of the AWG-KP was preceded by a number of preparatory events to allow Parties to focus in on detailed issues in preparation for the negotiations during the seventh session. One in-session workshop and one pre-sessional workshop were held.

Fifth session of the AWG-LCA
The AWG-LCA had before it a document (FCCC/AWGLCA/2009/4) prepared to further focus the negotiating process on the fulfilment of the Bali Action Plan and on the components of the agreed outcome to be adopted at COP 15. The document describes areas of convergence in the ideas and proposals of Parties, explores options for dealing with areas of divergence, and identifies any gaps that might need to be filled in reaching an agreed outcome. This document builds upon the ideas and proposals of Parties and document FCCC/AWGLCA/2008/16/Rev.1 and takes account of further submissions received from Parties by 6 February 2009. This document was presented by the Chair of the AWG-LCA at a pre-sessional event, in an informal setting in Bonn, 27 March. The presentation is available here. Three in-session workshops were held during the session.

Press conference video statement
8 April
Briefing journalists on the final day of the Bonn Talks, Yvo de Boer reported that solid progress had been made. He said the meeting had given important guidance on what a Copenhagen agreement must contain, and a first round of discussions had been held on what legal form an agreed outcome might take.
With regard to emission targets for industrialized countries, he cautioned that the numbers discussed so far fell well short of the range recommended by the IPCC, and stressed the need for these countries to show greater ambition. He pointed out that developing countries were willing to undertake mitigation actions if the promised financial and technical support were delivered, while some already had climate change strategies in place.
Progress was made on technology transfer, and agreement reached on the need to boost funding for adaptation. Mr. de Boer said more clarity was still needed on industrialized country commitments to produce the scale of finance required for both mitigation and adaptation. He added that real negotiations based on negotiating texts would take place at the next meeting in June.

He said the agreement in Copenhagen needed to deliver clarity on at least four things:
Several documents are on the table in Bonn that go towards future targets for industrialized countries, he said. There are also two much broader documents proviiding a basis for negotiation in the context of the Bali Road Map under the Convention. The aim is to have a fully-fledged negotiating text on the table by June.

Panasonic WhisperGreen 80 CFM Ceiling Mounted Ventilation Fan- fv-08vkm3
WhisperGreen 80 CFM Ceiling Mounted Ventilation Fan with DC Motor, Variable Speed Controls, and Motion Sensor
Constant CFM Performance
This WhisperGreen® model features built-in intelligence called SmartFlow Optimum CFM Technology. This unique "electronic-brain" lets the fan do what was once thought to be impossible: perform at a constant CFM regardless of elbows and other factors that might hinder performance. Basically, when a WhisperGreen® fan faces static pressure, its speed is automatically increased to ensure that the desired CFM is actually achieved. This allows the fan to perform as rated and makes for easier sizing because the specifiers no longer has to worry as much about compromising the fan's performance.
Quiet Motor Means Quiet Operation
Panasonic is the first ventilation fan manufacturer to incorporate a DC motor in residential mechanical ventilation fans. The WhisperGreen® series incorporates an enclosed DC motor designed for extremely quiet, energy-efficient operation. The permanently lubricated motor is also engineered for trouble-free, continuous run for several years.
SmartAction® Motion Sensor
The SmartAction motion sensor automatically activates whenever someone enters or leaves the room.
Variable Speed Control
This fan is equipped with a CustomVent Variable Speed Control. This allows the fan to run continuously at a pre-set lower level of 0, 30-70 CFM that can then be elevated to a maximum of 80 CFM when the switch is turned on. A High/Low delay timer (adjustable up to 60 minutes), will then return the fan to the minimum CFM level after a period of time set by the user.
Delay Timer
A High/Low delay timer (adjustable from 30 seconds – 60 minutes), will then return the fan to the minimum CFM level after a period of time set by the user.
ENERGY STAR®-Qualified for Energy Savings
ENERGY STAR®-qualified products feature super-quiet operation and high CFM-to-Watt efficiency. The ENERGY STAR program was created to help consumers identify products that can save them money and protect the environment by saving energy. As an ENERGY STAR partner, all of our fans are ENERGY STAR-qualified and labeled accordingly.
User-Friendly Installation
Detachable 4 or 6 inch adaptors, firmly secured duct ends, adjustable mounting brackets (up to 26″), fan/motor units that detach easily from the housing and uncomplicated wiring all lend themselves to user-friendly installation. This model also features a double-hanger bar system for ideal positioning.
Tired of Cold Air Coming Through Your Ventilation Fan?
This Panasonic fan has a built-in damper to prevent backdraft, which helps to prevent outside air from coming through the fan. Also, thanks to our efficient, cool running motors, it does not create excessive heat. Loose fill or batt insulation can be placed directly over the fan housing to prevent heat from escaping.

Much of the early music that helped to either shape the dawn of or define the birth of heavy metal was driven by single-guitar bands. Led Zeppelin. Deep Purple. Cream. Jimi Hendrix. Each of these acts pushed the prologue of the heavy metal story forwards until it burst into its true first chapter in the form of Black Sabbath.
Tony Iommi was — and remains — a one-man metal machine, dishing out punishing riffs and cutting solos with the same ferocity to this day. But eventually, another wave of metal swept through. Characterized by bands like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, it was a sound built on twin guitars. Perhaps it was just that there were more guitarists around looking for bands. Perhaps it was a striving to take the genre into new areas. Perhaps we'll never know quite why the guitar tag-team idea didn't really take off in metal until the genre's second wind. Certainly the rock harmonies of Thin Lizzy must have been a factor. But I digress: here are some of my personal favorite metal guitar duos. I'm sure you have yours and we'd love to know what they are in the comments.
Mustaine & Friedman
Megadeth's Dave Mustaine has a knack for seeking out great guitar talent. He's always filled the lead guitar chair with players who lit a fire underneath him and pushed his own soloing to new heights. Jazz-influenced Chris Poland, classically-trained Jeff Young, jack-of-all-trades Al Pitrelli, melodic master Glen Drover and current flawless virtuoso Chris Broderick have all made their mark on Megadeth's history but Marty Friedman's five-album tenure with the band was revolutionary. Marty's otherworldly approach to melody and his effortless handling of extremely technical fretboard exploration helped to make Rust In Peace the classic album that it is. Marty left Megadeth in the late '90s to follow his own muse, and Mustaine has gone on to make plenty of great music without Friedman, but neither will ever be able to quite escape the immensity of the music they created together. But that shouldn't be a problem for either of them: I'm sure we'd all love to have a series of undeniably classic albums in our back pocket.
Hetfield & Hammett
On first glance, James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett's roles in Metallica seem quite clearly defined: James is the rhythm guy and Kirk is the lead guy. But these roles have often crossed over or been completely subverted. Just listen to James's melodic soloing in "Master Of Puppets" and "Nothing Else Matters." Or dwell for a moment on the fact that Kirk wrote the riff to "Enter Sandman," Metallica's most identifiable song amongst corners of the population that you wouldn't expect to know a Metallica song. We're talking about a track whose sheer weight in the Metallica catalog demanded that when the band decided to play the Black Album in its entirety, they had to do it in reverse order lest "Enter Sandman" tip the whole thing over. See the Gibson Custom Kirk Hammett Flying V here.
Smith & Murray
Look, even I, a dude who only owns a couple of Maiden albums, has to give them some respect and include them in my list! Even though personally Maiden never quite resonated with me in the same way as my favorite metal acts, credit where credit is due! Maiden took the twin-guitar harmony sound of Thin Lizzy and toughened it up considerably, and helped establish the metal tradition of having contrasting lead guitarists, with Dave Murray being more legato-based and Adrian Smith being more melodic.
Heafy & Beaulieu
The Trivium guitar duo of Matt Heafy and Corey Beaulieu have taken the traditional thrash dynamic established by the likes of Slayer and Megadeth and brought it into the 21st century with a more futuristic approach to rhythm and tone. They've continued to explore the outer edges of their style - a little more metalcore here, a little more melody there, a little more groove over there - and aren't shy about breaking out the seven-string guitars for a little progressive thrash when the mood strikes them. Check out Matt Heafy's signature Epiphone Les Paul models.
Tipton & Downing
My first ever CD was a compilation that was half Black Sabbath, half Judas Priest. I don't know if it was even a legal pressing or if it was some weird grey market thing. All I know is that it taught me a lot about the power of the 8th-note chug, especially on "The Ripper." Another great thing about that song was the way it really made use of the creativity afforded by the studio. Every instrument was clearly separated, there were cool vocal effects… it was really ahead of its time in arrangement and approach, even if the actual sonics might be a little outdated now. And some of that crazy whammy bar work really seemed to pre-date the later Kahler abuse of Slayer's Kerry King and Jeff Hannemann.
King & Hannemann
Of course Kerry King and Jeff Hannemann get their own entry! These two guys were instrumental in solidifying the idea of the Thrash Guitarist, rather than the 'the rhythm guy and the lead guy in a thrash band.' King and Hannemann always sounded like they were on the edge, thanks to their punk and hardcore influences, but their thrash discipline and technique always saved them from going over. Sure, some guitarists make light of the wild, unrestrained nature of their solos and their reliance on the Kahler bridge, but Slayer took that sound and really made it their own, and most importantly it fit the music.
Wilton & DeGarmo
The Queensryche guitar duo of Michael Wilton and Chris DeGarmo really made the most of the two-guitar format. These guys hardly ever played the same thing as each other unless it was for a particular dramatic effect. If one was playing a chugging, repetitive rhythm, the other would play a series of sustained chords over the top that would put the other guy's riff into melodic context. If one was playing a chord in the open position, the other would play a higher inversion. The band has gone through a succession of guitarists since DeGarmo left, and they've made some undeniably great music in that time (especially the new, self-titled album) but DeGarmo took a key part of the band's sound with him when he departed.
Amott & Amott
Brothers Michael and Christopher Amott helped drive Arch Enemy's melodic death metal sound with another of those classic yin/yang dynamics. Michael took his inspiration from European metal heroes like Michael Schenker, in terms of tone and soulfulness, while Christopher peppers his playing with an aggressive, speedy vibrato and ultra-precise speed picking. Christopher left the band, returned then left again, and recently released a brilliant solo album titled Impulses. And Amott is doing double time in Arch Enemy and his more classic, hard rock-influenced outfit Spiritual Beggars.
Van Halen & Hagar
Okay, we have to tread carefully here if we're going to introduce more hard rock artists, but seriously, did you ever hear Eddie and Sammy going toe-to-toe on Sammy's "One Way To Rock" live with Van Halen? Sammy gets a pass purely for having the balls to go up against Eddie Van Halen with a guitar in hand, and he manages to keep up with King Eddie quite comfortably as the two trade solos. There may be only one way to rock, but the sheer guts of Sammy's playing in the face of such an intimidating musical force is totally metal.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
The Palestinian man accused of selling a house near Hebron's Cave of the Patriarchs to a Jewish family has reportedly been sentenced to death by the Palestinian Authority.
Israeli newspaper Makor Rishon reported that Mohammed Abu Shahala acted as an agent for the original Palestinian owner of what has come to be known as "Machpela House."
After the story went public, sources in Hebron told the newspaper that Shahala was arrested and tortured by Palestinian security. During his second "interrogation" session, Shahala confessed not only to acting as an agent for local Palestinians willing to sell their houses to Jews, but also to cooperating with Israel's Mossad spy agency.
Shahala reportedly received an expedited trial, and his death sentence is now awaiting the signature of Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas.
Several Jewish settler leaders are trying to save his life.
In an open letter to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton and the heads of the European Union and International Red Cross, Hebron Jewish community leaders David Wilder and Noam Arnon pleaded for international intervention on behalf of Shahala.
"It is appalling to think that property sales should be defined as a 'capital crime' punishable by death," they wrote. "What would be the reaction to a law in the United States, England, France, or Switzerland, forbidding property sales to Jews? Actually, less than one hundred years ago, such acts were legislated and practiced, known as the infamous 'Nuremberg laws.'"
Danny Dayan, head of the Yesha Council of Jewish communities, stated, "Abu Shahala will be executed in Ramallah, barely 15 minutes drive from the government's headquarters in Jerusalem. He is being executed for the 'crime' of helping Jews buy a home in Hebron. Israel cannot allow this travesty to take place."
Since its inception in 1993 and its coming to power in 1995, the Palestinian Authority has maintained old Jordanian laws that made it a capital offense to sell property to Jews. More often than not, Israel sides with the Palestinian Authority on these issues for fear of provoking a violent Muslim outburst. That is what happened with the Machpela House, where earlier this month the new Jewish owners were forcibly evicted by the Israeli army.

Living on the Western Front : Annals and Stories 1914-1919
Living on the Western Front provides a highly original history of the settler experience in Befland ([B]ritish [E]xpeditionary [F]orce land) during the First World War. Using an unusual representational form that involves the stitching together of over a hundred extracts from primary sources, which can then in turn be read either chronologically or thematically, Chris Ward brilliantly depicts a sense of settlers' lives in Great War Belgium, Northern France and Germany. Simultaneously an annal and an anthology of stories, this book tells us about landscapes, sounds, smells, food, journeys, memory and morale in the way that the Befland settlers actually lived and experienced them.
The book also challenges popular conceptions of what history writing can or should be. It drags us away from the reassuringly commanding authorial voice of the conventional historical narrative towards an approach that brings a degree of uncertainty and encourages us to experiment with History and its relationship with the past in an exciting and rewarding way.

(UNDATED) - A warrant is out for the arrest of a 24-year-old man who allegedly test drove a silver 2000 Dodge Stratus off a car dealer's lot and did not return.
A bench warrant was issued for Dustin Roecker late Tuesday after a criminal case was filed against him in Greene Circuit Court.
When Roecker is apprehended, he'll be facing a preliminary charge of auto theft - a class D felony.
Greene County Sheriff's Deputy Jeff Brown has been investigating since he was dispatched to Duncan's Motors on State Road 54 in Switz City around 3 p.m. on Friday, June 21.
Kevin Waltman, a sales manager at Duncan's, told the deputy that Roecker and an unknown female came to the car lot on foot that afternoon. They said their vehicle was undergoing maintenance at Tieman Tire, located next door to the car lot, and they were in the market for a newer and better vehicle. Waltman said this was not unusual with the tire shop being next door.
Roecker and the woman were shown several different cars. Waltman said they took all of them out on a test drive but brought the others back. Coincidentally, all of the vehicles that were test driven, except the Stratus, had less than a quarter of a tank of gas. The Stratus had a half tank of gas.
The manager made a photocopy of Roecker's driver's license before he test drove any vehicle. He said the photo matched the person who took the Stratus.
About 30 minutes after Roecker left with the car, and had not returned, the manager contacted the owner of the business, Brandon Duncan. Duncan was in the Bloomfield area, was watching for the car and spotted it.
Duncan told the deputy he followed the Stratus east on State Road 54 to the Eastern-Greene Middle School area but lost it because it was traveling at a high rate of speed. He also said the Stratus had a different license plate than the one issued by the business.
Deputy Brown said both the owner and the manager told him the vehicle was in good running condition with no mechanical problems.
As of July 1, the vehicle had not been returned or located.
According to court records, Roecker resides on Sacajawea Court in Ellettsville.
Anyone with information about the location of the Stratus or Roecker is asked to call the Greene County Sheriff's Department at 812-384-4411.

ELON � Eastern Alamance�s boys� lacrosse team entered Friday night�s game against host Western Alamance excited about getting the opportunity to make it to the state playoffs for the first time.
That goal was accomplished, as the Eagles edged the Warriors 6-5 in Conference 6 action.
This means the Eagles will be playing next Friday night in the first round.
�(This) was one of those tough, grind it out wins,� said Eastern Alamance coach Tony Aguilar. �Both teams played hard. We were just lucky enough to get one more than they were.�
Joey Stump led the Eagles (13-3 overall, 10-2 Conference 6) with two goals. Ian Brady, Gabe Turcotte, Dillon Albright and Logan Robinson also scored for Eastern Alamance. The Eagles, who finished second in the conference behind Northern Guilford, led the entire game.
Western Alamance played with a lot of emotion, as six seniors were honored on Senior Night before the game.
�We knew that it would be a battle,� Aguilar said. �The last two years, Western has beaten us on our Senior Night. We knew they would be riding high on emotion, so we knew it was important to come out ready to play.�
The Eagles indeed came out ready to play, knowing that the Warriors (10-5, 7-5) were fired up. Eastern Alamance pressured Western Alamance goalie William Bejos in the first period, firing eight shots. But Bejos stepped up to the challenge, allowing only one ball from Gabe Turcotte to find the back of the net.
Western Alamance finally got on the board midway through the second period when senior Adam Ray scored the first of his two goals, cutting the Eagles� lead to 2-1. The game appeared to be going to halftime with that same score, but Albright scored with less than a minute remaining in the half.
The defensive battle that was the first half turned into an aggressive and exciting game in the third period. Both teams scored two goals in the frame. The Warriors cut the two-goal halftime deficit in half when Ray�s rocket shot found the net after just 1:11 of play.
But Robinson countered with a goal 15 seconds later. Less than a minute later, Stump�s first goal gave the Eagles a 5-2 lead. The Warriors� David Hayes scored with just more than six minutes left in the period to make it 5-3.
Western Alamance, which finished the season in third place and won�t receive a playoff bid, made it interesting.
�We came together as a team,� said Stump, who scored his second goal of the game with just less than a minute to go to give the Eagles a 6-4 lead. �We�re a bunch of friends out here, but we come together at game time.�
�Our goalie (Matt O�Connor) made a lot of great saves. We were able to ice it at the end. Now, we�re ready to play in the playoffs, and hopefully we can get a playoff win.�
First-year Western Alamance coach Josh Coats said: �We made it a little dicey at the end, and it�s a tough way to go out. But, I�m extremely proud of my guys. I have a great group of guys, and they played hard. The seniors showed a lot of pride, and left a nice footprint on that field.�
Max Coleman scored the final Western Alamance goal with 25 seconds remaining for the final margin.

Junior sprinter won 400m dash with personal indoor best
MACON, Ga. (March 7, 2012) – Junior ETSU track and field sprinter Tim O'Dell (Palm Coast, Fla.) won the 400m dash at last Saturday's Virginia Tech Last Chance meet in Blacksburg Va., and on Wednesday was recognized by the Atlantic Sun as the conference's Men's Track Athlete of the Week.
The award is O'Dell's first of his collegiate career and is the first A-Sun Men's Track Athlete of the Week ETSU has earned through this year's indoor and outdoor seasons. Freshmen Jadon Short (Oak Ridge, Tenn.) and K'Vonte Scott (Virginia Beach, Va.) were each named A-Sun Field Athlete of the Week earlier in the year.
Two weeks after taking the gold in the 400m at the A-Sun Indoor Championships and setting a new A-Sun Indoor meet record, O'Dell and the ETSU track and field program traveled to the Virginia Tech Last Chance meet. In his first 400m performance since the A-Sun Indoors, O'Dell beat out the field again with a new personal indoor best time of 48.13. The mark also extended O'Dell's No. 1 ranking in the conference in the event.
The ETSU track and field program begins the outdoor season March 15-17, when it travels to Charlotte, N.C., for the 49er Classic hosted by UNC Charlotte.
