Changes in joint damage and inflammation, detected with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as early as 12 weeks, predict changes in joint damage evident on subsequent x-rays in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), new research has found.
In the study, published in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, the authors, led by Charles Peterfy, MD, PhD, founder and CEO of Spire Sciences Inc., in Boca Raton, Fla., recommend using MRI to assess inflammation and joint damage in short-duration randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in RA.
"MRI is a valid imaging method for evaluating inflammation and joint damage in rheumatoid arthritis, and it detects changes in these disease features earlier than radiography does," Peterfy told MedPage Today. "MRI should be accepted for evaluating structure-modifying treatment efficacy in phase III clinical trials."
In the interview he stressed that he was speaking only for himself and that his views are not necessarily those of the other authors of the report.
Radiography is the only imaging tool now accepted by the FDA for assessing structural damage in phase III clinical trials of RA, but as effective structure-modifying therapies become available, it has become unethical to withhold treatment from patients in placebo-controlled trials for extended periods of time, he explained.
"The most recent regulatory guidance limits this to only 12 weeks. However, longer time intervals -- i.e., 24 or more weeks -- are typically needed to discriminate a treatment effect reliably with radiography. This has created a demand for faster and more sensitive imaging tools for assessing disease progression and treatment response in RA."
Numerous studies have shown that MRI is more sensitive than x-ray in identifying joint damage and detecting synovitis and osteitis more sensitively than is possible with clinical examination alone.
A task force of the American College of Rheumatology imaging subcommittee (OMERACT) pooled data from four RCTs of patients with active RA that included serial MRIs (baseline to 12 and/or 24 weeks) and x-rays (baseline to 24 and/or 52 weeks). Data included information on 1,022 hands and wrists.
The study found that progression of MRI erosion scores at weeks 12 and 24 predicted progression of x-ray erosions at weeks 24 and 52, with areas under the curve (AUCs) of 0.64 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.54-0.75) and 0.74 (95% CI 0.66-0.82), respectively.
In three of the trials, an analysis of the prediction of x-ray erosion progression at week 24, based on 12-week MRI progression in osteitis, showed an AUC (0.78; 95% CI 0.70-0.86), which the authors described as "near excellent."
As well, 24-week changes in MRI osteitis scores were similarly predictive of 52-week x-ray erosion progression, with an AUC of 0.77 (95% CI 0.66-0.88).
MRI changes in synovitis at weeks 12 and 24 also predicted progression of x-ray joint damage at weeks 24 and 52 (AUCs of 0.72 and 0.65, respectively).
A limitation of the study was that some trial data sets could not be included because they did not have earlier MRI followed by later x-ray outcomes.
Another limitation was that all but one of the four data sets allowed for rescue therapy in placebo patients by 24 weeks, which confounded analyses based on x-ray data over longer time intervals.
"This limitation highlights why a method, such as MRI, that is sensitive enough to discriminate treatment effect within only 12 weeks -- that is, before rescue treatment -- is needed," the researchers wrote.
Summing up, Peterfy said that the study study adds to the evidence that MRI may fill the need for faster and more sensitive imaging tools, "given its ability to discriminate treatment response with respect to the same structural outcomes that radiography focuses on, but more quickly -- often within only 12 weeks -- and with fewer patients."
MRI is also able to show treatment effects on the upstream inflammatory drivers of structural damage in RA -- namely, synovitis and osteitis -- in even less time (as little as 2 weeks) -- based on the findings of this and other studies, he added.
The new information may also be useful in clinical practice. "Earlier, more accurate identification of patients expressing the erosive phenotype of RA based on MRI would allow earlier and more accurate assignment of treatment for these patients. Further, verifying treatment response, or lack of it, earlier and more accurately would allow more timely adjustment of therapy in treat-to-target management strategies, and presumably improve patient outcomes."
Independent grant support was provided by Bristol-Myers Squibb, Genentech/Roche, Janssen, and Pfizer; and data were provided by Amgen, Genentech/Roche, and Janssen.
Peterfy reported having other competing interests from his company, Spire Sciences, outside this study.

There's nothing quite like the aerial perspective of.. pretty much anything, really. But the aerial perspective of the world's largest skiing area is absolutely breathtaking. Drone Alps put together this reel of footage from the Rhône-Alpes region of France.
Rhône-Alpes is located on the eastern border of France, towards the south. The region was named after the Rhône river and Alps mountain range. Its capital, Lyon, is the second-largest metropolitan area in France after Paris. Rhône-Alpes has the sixth-largest economy of any European region.
Rhône-Alpes offers 160 ski resorts, 16 linked ski areas including "The 3 Valleys" (the largest linked area in the world with 600 km of slopes between Courchevel, Méribel, Les Menuires and Val Thorens) and the latest addition: Paradiski.
With 5,800 multi-level slopes, the Rhône-Alpes is at the top of the mountain tourism league with 37% of market share. Quite simply, the region boasts the world's largest ski area. The Rhône Alpes has also hosted the Winter Olympics three times: Chamonix 1924, Grenoble 1969, Albertville 1992. It is also in 2nd position of France's most popular regions with tourists: registering over 150 million visitor nights each year.

RE: Rec & Select Under 19
In the December 2017 Classico, Carvahal was sent off for denying a goal scoring opportunity with his hand, resulting in a penalty. IF Barcelona has scored during the melee immediately after Carvahals foul, should the referee still produce the red card?
Hi Steve Had the referee played advantage the goal could have been awarded and as nothing then had been denied the player would not have been sent off for denying a goalscoring opportunity. Instead the player could have been cautioned for unsporting behaviour. These type of situation happen from time to time and referees are eager to call the penalty early to *sell* the decision. With hindsight the referee should have delayed the whistle and then made the call.Here is a UEFA referee explaining such a decision of acting too hastily.http://www.uefa.com/insideuefa/video/referees/videoid=746585.html?redirectFromOrg=true&autoplay=true
Hi Steve, In fact the ball did cross the line almost immediately subsequent to the deliberate handball. If the referee had delayed whistling for the handling offence and awarded the goal instead, no red card would have been necessary. If a goal is scored, then it has not been denied so the player cannot be sent off for denying a goal by handling.

Negative emotions such as worry about finances and the guilt and shame associated with losing money through gambling are often the reasons people give for the decision to give up gambling. However, negative emotions can also trigger a relapse.
Negative emotions come in many forms – feeling bored, stressed, overwhelmed, sad, lonely and depressed. For example, Helen had stopped gambling 3 months before her relapse. Helen attributed this relapse to being bored at home after her friend cancelled a movie date, this unexpected time and money were her downfall to gambling again:
I tried so hard not to gamble and was doing so well. Then out of the blue my friend cancelled our movie date. I decided that I deserved some fun so went to the pokies. It was fun for a moment but when my money was lost the cycle of gambling started over. I was so cross with myself.
Often the gambling venue is perceived to be a safe space and a stress free space to get out of the house and away from the stresses of home. Sometimes, there are not many alternative places to go and socialise which can make a person vulnerable to a gambling relapse:
I could not wait for my husband to get home from his week away. I had been home all week with the kids. I was so stressed and just needed to get out the house and have a few hours to myself. I guess I should have known I would be stressed after my week alone and planned something with a friend for when my husband was home to babysit.
Sometimes feeling down or sad can be a significant risk for relapse. For example, you can get excited about the thought of gambling, which may make you feel better but also increases the risk of relapse. The relief gained from escaping these unpleasant emotions by gambling is only temporary as it is usually followed by more distress:
Gambling was a way to make me feel better I would sit in front the machine for hours and forget my problems …… that's why I relapsed. It made everything worse.
If you'd like some help call the Gambling Help on 1800 858 858 to speak confidentially about your gambling.
If you're struggling with negative emotions, it is a good idea to seek some ongoing support. A visit to a counsellor may be the place to start.
There is also a lot of support to be gained by looking at the posts on the forum at www.gamblinghelponline.org.au. People struggling with keeping their resolutions about not gambling often have good information to share and you will be able to see that you are not alone in your struggles.

So you've done your taxes and alas, the IRS has sent you a letter that you are being audited. The walls are caving in, you're having panic attacks, and can't possibly fathom what are you going to do. Take a deep breath, and read this article, rest assured that you don't need to be nervous. Unless you intentionally planned on committing fraud, that's a whole different story. IRS audits are just trying to figure out if incomes and figures add up right; it simply inquires of your tax return. The IRS its self says that an audit is," to determine if income, expenses, and credits are being reported accurately." Follow these steps and be prepared.
First, don't ignore the letter, even though it might be easier and tempting to ignore bad news. Read it, read slow, and read it one more time. Read which year in question they are auditing, and what documents specifically they are asking for. Prepare all the necessary returns and explanations for the representatives.
There are different types of audits that the IRS does. One is an in person interview, where you physically have to be in the IRS office and speak with IRS people that question abnormally high deductions, that they need to see proof of. Once in this audit, don't say more than what is asked. Do not offer up any other document that what was asked to bring. The less you say the better, because saying more leads to more questions.
It is important to know that you do have the right to have an attorney present if you feel that it is needed. It can be a mailed in audit also called corresponding audit, which is just asking you about a simple mistake that you can correct by mailing in all the correct documents. Case closed. The last audit is a field audit, where they may actually come to your home or to your job, scary I know, but remember to breathe. Remember if you feel that you need an attorney or tax professional you can request to have the audit done in their office.
To better prepare yourself for these audits, read up on the tax laws that are specific to the problem outlined. Knowing this information will better prepare you for questions asked by the auditor, and leave them more satisfied with your answers.
When being questioned be polite and courteous and answer each question truthfully. It is not wise to lie to the IRS, it is just silly. Make sure that all the documents presented be accurate, clear, and on time–meaning, have all the documents at the auditing. If you have all the correct audits the process will go much smoother. If you feel that you need more time, don't hesitate to let the IRS know you need more time. You can go on their website and request more time.
Once all the auditing is wrapped up you will receive an examination report, which is wise to look over carefully for anything that might confuse you. Don't hesitate to call the IRS and ask about anything you need to clarify. If you disagree with a finding let them know, so that you and the auditor can come to a compromise.
If you follow these tips then the audit process will be a breeze, or at least a little easier to handle.

Hello and welcome to the Money Is Everywhere (MIE for short) blog. Our goal at MIE is to help people to educate themselves and better understand topics surrounding money and personal finance.
We believe that with a financially more educated consumer base, future economic catastrophes like the mortgage crisis of 2008. Many people point the blame at loose government regulations as well as the greed of large financial institutions for what happened. They certainly played a role. One could also make the argument that if people had a better understanding of their own personal finances and how credit works, far fewer people would have been signing up for those mortgages that they clearly could not afford, whether they were approved or not.
We as consumers need to take some of the blame. We need to take the responsibility on ourselves to get a better grasp on our own personal finances.
We hope to assist in that pursuit with discussions around credit, insurance, daily money management, and more.
Thank you again for visiting, and we sincerely hope you find value in the website.

Four Course Meal
For those who seek to bring a little food into their research, we propose the following four course meal. First, for those who like a little novelty in their cookbooks, we will be examining 19th-century domestic fiction. Next, a history of salt, milk and forks or, as we're calling it, "the history of the world through a single food or food-related item" followed by a look at food and virtue and what each has to do with the other. We'll finish up the series with a workshop centered on the theme of the 2017 Oxford Symposium of Food and Cookery: Food and Landscape. We encourage both scholars and non-scholars alike to partake of the readings and of the snacks. We seek also to engage the English-language community and thereby extend the network already established by a lively discussion group for francophone scholars and food professionals led by Julia Csergo of UQAM.
Meeting dates and time:
Last Thursday of every month: 17h30-19h30, at MISC 3463 Peel Street
Contact Alexia Moyer for more information firstname.lastname@example.com

VALLEY GLEN — With no reliable passing option at quarterback, the Glendale Community College football team turned to its steady ground attack to try and mount a comeback against L.A. Valley College in its Pacific Conference American Division opener on Saturday night.
With two long fourth-quarter drives consisting solely of running offense and ending in Timothy Broughton touchdowns, the Vaqueros gave themselves a chance to pull out a come-from-behind win, but when your entire arsenal consists of rushing plays, the clock becomes your enemy very quickly.
Time ran out on Glendale, which suffered its fifth straight loss to begin the season, 30-21, despite a continued improvement from its defense and a solid 251 offensive yards on the ground. Joseph Wiggan was the leading rusher for the Vaqueros with 112 yards in 19 carries.

Makati City, 20 – 23 February 2014
TAKSU participates in ART FAIR PHILIPPINES 2014 February 20-23 in Makati City featuring NORBERTO ROLDAN in a solo exhibition of recent paintings and assemblages.
Roldan's work is rooted in social, political, and cultural commentary through the collection and assembly of found objects with image or text fragments. Often employing the material embodiments of various genres and themes in one collage, Roldan harnesses a poignant consideration of biography and history. His practice involves an intentional juxtaposition of objects, images, and texts as a means to debase historical certainty and propose new narratives.
Roldan was represented in three landmark surveys of Southeast Asian contemporary art:New Art from Southeast Asia 1992 by the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum in Fukuoka, Japan,Negotiating Home History and Nation: Two Decades of Contemporary Art in Southeast Asia 1991-2011 by the Singapore Art Museum in Singapore, and No Country: Contemporary Art For South/Southeast Asia at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York and The Asia Society in Hong Kong (2013).
Roldan is currently artistic director of Green Papaya Art Projects (established 2000), an independent and artist-run initiative that supports collaboration and exchange amongst Asia Pacific and Filipino artists.

Being a president or a commander during the American Revolution would have
taken someone with patience and nerves to lead a country. The first president started
laws, which consisted of the Bill of Rights. These laws are still around today. During
this time there were a lot of battles being fought, but in the 1700s military men were not
trained as properly as they are now, so this could make fighting battles more challenging.
These are just a few examples on how George Washington lived his life. He impacted
everyone's life by helping our country gain independence throughout some states.
On April 30, 1789 Washington took office in New York. He was unanimously
elected for two terms in a row, but refused to try a third term. George was at the
Constitutional Convention that established framework for the new government.
Washington had to hold the United States together, get government working, and attract
first-rate people to run it.
He believed that it was up to him to represent all people, be
leader of the U.S., and lead all foreign affairs. One of the first problems George took up
was national defense. "To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of
preserving peace," he said.(Col) National finance was a issue because the government
under the Articles of Confederation was unable to govern largely. This was caused by
lack of power to tax. Washington settled boundary disputes, gained peace with the
Indians, and opened more forts to prepare for another war.
George Washington was general for eight of the battles fought during the
American Revolution. Washington took command of a 14,000 man army on July 3,
1775. By March 17, 1776 he had forced the British to evacuate. George then tried to
defend New York, but he...

After months of searching on-line, scouring AutoTraders and test-driving several different vehicles, Rebecca welcomed a bright yellow 2008 Pontiac G5 into our family last Friday afternoon. Michael was there to witness and approve of the acquisition. Pontiacs as first car is a tradition for the Duffy children, and Rebecca was happy to keep that ritual alive.
She didn't seem particularly excited about the purchase before it happened. She's an in-car-reader; she has always read in the car, even on short trips. As a driver she was concerned about missing the opportunity to read. Even getting in her hours during the permit phase was difficult because there was always a book to be read. But since she drove her car home her tune has changed. Just last night she gushed, "I love this car! I love that I can drive myself where I need to go!"
There really is nothing quite like the ability to get behind the wheel and go where you need to go. We're excited she finally experienced the thrill of driving. She is a Duffy so it was bound to happen – we're just glad it was sooner rather than later.
So yay for Rebecca! And while I am truly happy for her, I must admit I am just the teeniest bit happier for me, because I no longer have to choose between brown hair and getting Rebecca to math class. Y'all, let me tell you, that struggle was real.
So congrats to Rebecca, and welcome to the fleet Mr. G5. We're all happy to have you here!

Three British scientists won the 2016 Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday for their work on materials that could be essential in new electronics or even quantum computers.
David Thouless, Duncan Haldane and Michael Kosterlitz's field is technically called "topology," the study of properties of objects that aren't changed when objects are distorted.
It sounds complicated, which is why a member of the Nobel committee explained it with a bagel, a pretzel and a cinnamon bun.
In the words of the Nobel committee member, the difference between the pastries, to a topologist, is the number of holes in each pastry.
If it sounds weird, it's because it is. But experts say it could be huge down the road.
You never set out to discover something new. You stumble on it and you have the luck to recognize what you've found is something very interesting.
Haldane, one of the winners, said he was "very surprised and very gratified" by the award, and said he and his colleagues found the winning discovery almost by dumb luck.
Haldane, Thouless and Kosterlitz's work was done in the 1970s and 1980s.

International Trade and Investment Law (International and European Law)
The International Trade and Investment Law track of the Master's programme in International and European Law deals with two aspects of international economic law.
International trade and investment are driving forces in the world economy and its increasing globalization. This track focuses on the international law that governs these economic relations for states and regions.
Studying International Trade and Investment Law
Study programme
A significant part of the programme concerns the Geneva-based World Trade Organisation (WTO). The WTO provides the legal framework for the multilateral trading systems for goods and services, including its advanced system of dispute resolution.
A crucial and dynamic field of international law
An important body of WTO case law balances trading interests and other societal objectives, such as the protection of human health or the environment. The international regulation of trade also goes beyond traditional market access issues into the realm of domestic regulation, to consider intellectual property rights and international product and food safety standards. All this and much more makes it a crucial and dynamic field of international law.
International investment law is the second big part of this programme. In this subject area, a large network of bilateral investment treaties (BITs) set the legal frameworks for the treatment of foreign investors and for the settlement of their disputes by international arbitration. The increasing number of investor-state arbitral awards testifies to the importance and centrality of investment law. It also comes with a host of new challenges.
Degree certificate
International Trade and Investment Law is a track of the accredited degree programme International and European Law. After successful completion of this programme, you will receive a legally accredited Master's degree in International and European Law and the title Master of Laws (LLM).

Before we begin.. I want to define a word that will be used in this post.. (not that I am the first to use it.. but this is my meaning)
I was up last night.. Organizing my
apartment (with the help of a really good friend) and as we were sifting through the tons of stuff that has accumulated in the last year since the last really big clean out, a great percentage of that stuff being gift bags from the various events I attend every week, I got to thinking. I have not actually posted about one of those event here is a really long time. I guess with instagram my mind gets tricked into thinking that I have actually written about wherever I am.. Gotta Love that Insta..
Anyhow.. with that, thought why not post about some of my favorite events last week..
So here we are .. Four outfits..Four super cute events..full of FASHTASIC people
The first.. and this is in no particular order..
The Natalie Alcala x Beckley Fall Shopping Soiree.
Hosted by one of my favorite gals.. and up until I cut my hair a few months ago, my sista from anotha mista Natalie Alcala this little soiree did not disappoint. I adore a good shopping party with awesome drinks (by none other than the awesome mixologist Billy Ray), Nail art by Scratch and a bunch of uber fashtastic L.A. peeps all in one room.
For a complete story and more peeps who attended head over to Racked LA.
Next is the Margo & Me x Marimekko event.
Hosted my the uber cute Jenny Bernheim. We came.. we made our pups the cutest chain linked doggy collars with Marimekko fabric... and if you were like me.. made a matching bracelet for yourself. I could not help myself!! With the food provided by one of my faves Monsier Marcel (I blogged about them way back in 2011 HERE) Seriously like the best Quiche ever.. This event made my entire Saturday.
Next was the Man Repeller x Simon Doonan x Barneys NY event at the Grove L.A. If you are not familiar with both.. take a second to Google the awesomeness! Both were on hand to sign their newly printed books and let me tell you, the lines were long and the drinks were amazing! Racked LA was in the house asking folks what the first book they ever read was.. Scroll down just a tad to see my answer. Thanks Racked for another awesome mention of me on your site.. I'm feeling the love.
and last but never least..
The ever classy Kelly Of Kelly Go Lightly partnered up with Glade to throw a super fun Emmy's viewing party at the Sunset Tower hotel. We got dressed up.. we walked the red carpet and we ate and drank while watching the Emmy's Telecast. Me and a few select others screaming the whole time as our fellow actors won or didn't win in their categories.

Once I presented at a 4Cs with Gary Tate and Ira Shor. OMG. I was so intimidated and thrilled and overwhelmed. The room was PACKED. I usually gave conference presentations to myself, my co-panelists, and two friends in the audience. (I will eventually circle around to JBW toward the end–it's all connected.)
I talked about what it was like to use my comp/rhet college teacher experience in a 2nd grade classroom trying to implement not only writing across the curriculum, but standards-based learning. I also talked about, I think, what I'd taken from K-12 writing scholarship and used in college classrooms when I got back to that. I focused a lot on race, class, and gender when I taught writing back then because we all have some of that. And I care about clarity.
None of those three things are easy to talk about with anyone, let alone 2nd graders. I look back on that year as one that was audacious. I had some nerve: no formal education background, experiences, or classes in college (maybe two about 6-7 years prior, but I'm not sure I even finished that semester!). I had been teaching mostly for the last six years in college classrooms and studying comp/rhet (my MA focus and some of my PhD focus) and literature (another PhD foci). So what did I do when I found myself teaching second grade? I eventually set up every subject like a college class. The principle required a lesson plan for every subject for every day, submitted each Monday morning. Like I ever stuck to that. BUT still I had to do it, so I did. It was kind of fun once I got into the rhythm of it–it was like a giant year-long syllabus and schedule.
I included parts of college texts for the kids to read because their texts were 30 years old (small, Catholic school with no money–the social studies text was the oldest, printed in 1958). I had to copy those texts at my own expense because we only got 500 pages of copy paper a month to use, but we did have a copier AND a mimeograph, so we had options for use. I had been using John Trimbur's Call to Write as a text in my college writing classes, so I just used that for the kids. I taught them the SAME things as my college students, but I took all year because they were little humans, and we had to go slower. Instead of reading kid books published in NYC about kids in NYC, we wrote our own stories about kids in Texas and "published" those for each other. We had guest speakers and artists drop in from the university and local businesses. We had open "house" every Friday afternoon when we'd invite community helpers to visit our classroom for popcorn and an MGM musical so we could do social studies collaboratively with the people who actually were community helpers (the focus for 2nd grade social studies). We read 19th century British authors together and I read several things aloud to them. We spent three weeks on "The Lady of Shalott" (1832) by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. We'd read one stanza and look up every unfamiliar word, post those on our poetry word wall. Next day, we'd re-read the first stanza and then add in the next. We also created an illustration of everything we "saw" in the poem on a white board with multi-color dry erase markers. Everyone got to write on the "story" board and contribute to the poetry word wall. Next day, three stanzas. I always read aloud, and then we listened to Dame Judi Dench read the same stanzas. I brought in big art books with Victorian paintings depicting the poem at the end of our time reading. The students were riveted by the poem, by Dame Judi's voice, by the story, adn stunned by the paintings. Their writing in response was awesome–at first it was all summary, but by the end we were doing higher level work–synthesis, imitation, creation. OMG. Seriously, like the best teaching I've ever done in my life.
At the start of the year, after "Back to School Night," several parents were asking for the principal's head on a platter–complaints to the diocese were a pretty regular thing for about a month. I was unorthodox. I was too hard. I expected too much. I was asking them to write all the time. I required too much reading. I wanted to go through too much math, too quickly. I assigned homework (like: bring in your family grocery list, or any other writing you could find around the house; make a list of three things you talked about with family members; write three sentences describing a wall in your home; ask everyone in your home to say one thing about Then they got into the swing of things. It was a remarkable year. Everything was connected to writing, and everything was connected to race, class, and gender.
As soon as that became clear–that I was rebel scum and part of the resistance–more complaints to the diocese and the principal AND the assistant principal, too. But they weren't going to fire me mid-year, I hoped. I never got a sense they had my back exactly, but I every Monday, I wasn't fired, so there was that.
And here's what I know: the kids were all paying attention, working hard, handling themselves, doing writing in every subject, behaving in class, in line, at recess, at lunch, nobody had untied shoes, no one messed with anyone's space, no name calling, all respect and support, and reading like college kids: for content and as writers. We were kicking it, and the kids knew it. The parents were just afraid. I get it. New is weird, new is hard, new is not proven, new is uncomfortable. The worst part for the parents might have been that I was this wild thing doing unconventional things with their children's education, and I was also the one who was going to teach them the Roman Catholic Catechism they needed to make their First Communion. It was a lot for a parent used to traditional teaching to take in, even though I'd taught Saturday Catechism for four years to fourth graders while I was in high school. Also, I disallowed desks in rows in the classroom (that freaked out everybody, including my colleagues). THAT was really strange.
JBW helped me a lot back then. I had access to this journal through my subscription to NCTE/CCC and through my university, too. I read these because I didn't know any better. Turns out JBW made a world of difference in the way I taught those second graders (I know you all can see that now that you've dipped your toes in the JBW waters), and when I got back to teaching college, I was a different teacher.
I was fond of telling the little kids that there was no real difference between them and college students, except college students could drive away. We'd laugh and then be all bowed up about what we were doing, but what I was really doing was teaching basic writing across the curriculum with a theme: race, class, gender. We were little radicals, moving and shaking up that little school. We changed the conversation from "if I get to college" to "when I go to college"–for some of the students whose parents had never set foot on a college campus, this was huge. We even toured a college campus–stayed all day, visited four academic departments for snacks and mini-lectures (and a hands on demo class in the dance dept.), took an architectural tour of the campus with a design prof, ran around on the football field and got pom-poms and programs, visited admissions where we got pencils and book covers, ate lunch with a group of college students on the lawn. After lunch the college kids played frisbee, kickball, and tag with my little kids. We were only about a half hour from the college campus, but most of the kids fell asleep on the drive back to our school. It was an entire win.
Like I said, best teaching I'd ever done ever. And JBW helped me. They didn't intend that, I know, but it was the one place I could find gentle, kind, and rigorous thought on teaching to students not quite ready for what many consider college writing. It was surprisingly perfect. As we dig around more in JBW, don't think its only impact on you will be as a teacher of college writers or a college student–if you let it get into you, you'll see it's about writing for anyone and everyone.
Perhaps, it's not just about basic writing, or how it worked to guide my odd year-long journey. Maybe it's a journal that's just right for everyone. At the very least it does this: it advocates for a kind of education that breaks down traditional barriers. Maybe that's why it matters so much.
[if I can find my 2nd grade class picture, I'll add it in here later]

I can't speak to your precise question. However, avoidance of correction
seems SOP with members of the group. A goodly number of years ago I
recall Jerry Albert telling a group of us that, just before a public
lecture, he was in a group that tackled the speaker (unnamed) about the
claim that the 2nd Law made evolution impossible. The speaker admitted to
them that the claim was not true, but, in the lecture, "preached it."
I might call attention to the material from Curt Sewell recently posted.
He objects to U-Pb dating because it "assumes uniformitarianism." One may
recognize that, at one time, the basis for that dating was extrapolation
from the measurement of alpha, beta and gamma "rays" and chemical
measurement of the resulting residues. Now quantum considerations provide
a theoretical basis for radioactivity, both nuclear and hydrogen bombs,
and reactors. One has to keep his head in the sand not to recognize the
solid foundation for measuring the age of rocks (and the novas as the
source of the materials for the solar system and us). I have not heard of
any YEC proclaiming that quantum physics is a crock because it supports
radioactive dating. You might also tackle some of them on the items I
brought up in the articles in _Perspectives_, vol 44 (1992)--September
and December. See if their approach is, "I don't believe it, so it isn't
These guys remind me of the story of the old fellow from the backwoods
whose first visit to town coincided with the arrival of the circus. He
accepted the cats, even though they were bigger than any he'd ever
encountered. He swallowed hard at the big gray beasts with a tail at each
end. But when he craned to see the small head 10 feet over his head, he
proclaimed, "It's a lie," and stalked off toward home.

Morinaga Features Its Line of Mori-Nu Silken Tofu at the Natural Products Expo West Show in Anaheim March 7-9, 2014
Torrance, CA (March 1, 2014) – Morinaga Nutritional Foods, will be on hand at the Natural Products Expo West Show March 7th through 9th in Anaheim, CA. An exhibitor for nearly 20 years, Morinaga is the manufacturer of the first and only shelf-stable tofu available in the U.S. At the show, Morinaga will unveil a new package design for their 12.3-oz. size Mori-Nu Silken Tofu line—available in Organic, Extra Firm, Firm, Lite Firm and Soft at booth #2788 in the convention center.
"We are thrilled to be exhibiting at the show again this year to interact with retailers and consumers and show them the versatility and benefits of our products. Our new package design now clearly shows what we have been for years, non-GMO and gluten-free. These on-pack certifications ease the mind of the health conscious consumer," says Hiroyuki Imanishi, President & CEO. "Our tofu is made from U.S. grown, high-quality non-GMO soybeans, and is an ideal alternative for eggs, dairy, poultry and red meat."
Thanks to a unique, preservative-free package design, Morinaga Mori-Nu Silken Tofu has a 12 month shelf-life, making it a convenient item for both retailers and consumers, as it allows retail to stock and sell Mori-Nu for an extended period of time—substantially longer than refrigerated tofu, and consumers can keep it in their pantry longer. Mori-Nu Silken Tofu is available in either the refrigerated tofu area or on the shelf in the Asian foods section of retailers nationwide, such as Whole Foods, Kroger/Fred Meyers, Wegmans, Publix, Meijer, Ahold, Woodman's and at regional Costco locations.
Mori-Nu Silken Tofu is a healthy, vegetarian, and high-quality protein that contains essential amino acids for growth. It is non-dairy, gluten-free and contains no cholesterol or saturated fat. The creamy-smooth texture and mild flavor of original Mori-Nu Silken Tofu make it ideal for everything from smoothies and cream pies to sauces, soups, dips, and main dishes. Retailers and consumers alike appreciate the miraculous package that ensures Mori-Nu Silken Tofu is free from contamination and easy to store in the cupboard or pantry.
About Morinaga Nutritional Foods In 1985, Morinaga Nutritional Foods Inc. began marketing aseptically packaged tofu in the United States under the Mori-Nu brand name. Morinaga helped to develop a revolutionary new packaging process that seals in all the wholesome nutrition of tofu in an airtight, shelf-stable package. This aseptic packaging protects the contents from the harmful effects of light, air, and microorganisms without preservatives or irradiation. The Institute of Food Technologists voted Morinaga's packaging "the #1 food science innovation of the last 50 years" because it increases nutrient retention and flavor while ensuring food safety. Other products include Mori- Nu Mates Pudding & Pie Mixes, Mori-Nu Nigari Silken Tofu, and Mori-Nu Silken Soy Puree.

I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving break. After trying to play catch up on several hundred things around home we made a fast break to Louisiana. Of course I brought my camera. And of COURSE I'm going to share a few shots… I think I may blow these up a little and print them in black and white for the house. They remind me of home.
This bayou runs right in front of my parents home. I've never seen so little water in it. I love the color of the cypress trees in the Fall.
And this is just a random shot from their drive way. I thought the light coming through the trees was too pretty to pass up.
This Thanksgiving? I was thankful for a few days to slow down.
How was your holiday?

Hello, I was denied Rexulti by my insurance so my Psych Dr and myself decided on Latuda since thats covered and he gave me samples of 120mg and told me to cut them in half and 60mg would be a good dose to start on (Severe Major Depression, Severe GAD, PTSD, Derealization) that seems high to start on and I wish it was 20 or 40mg but I'll do as he says. My question is Latuda like Abilify in that lower doses often produce more anxiety and restlessness and is this too high to start on?
He also took me off Topamax due to memory issues and low sodium and I like mood stabilizers and if I need 1 after Latuda my only options are only Lithium and Lamictal, which is better?
Latuda, anybody know if side effects can stop at higher dosages?

My question is Latuda like Abilify in that lower doses often produce more anxiety and restlessness and is this too high to start on?
Responses (2)
Hi, howie! I was on Latuda so briefly I'll let the others address that issue for you.
Personally, having been on the anticonvulsants ~ Topamax, Tegretol, Lamictal ~ and now having been on the only true mood stabilizer, which is lithium, for several years I can only say that for me there is nothing else like it. No other medication has come close... but that's how it works for me and everyone is different.
If you have specific questions about lithium please post again and I'll be happy to help.
Best wishes, WCV
Has Lithium caused weight gain? can you feel when you start to deviate from therapeutic levels as far as water consumption/exercise and sweating goes? does it feel similar to any other medication out there, asking because Tegretol although I know its in another category but it can be used for the same conditions and was the worst drug I've ever taken as far as cognition goes and would it help for episodes of severe anger/frustration?
Hi again, howie. The only time I ever experienced mild lithium toxicity was while hiking in the desert on a summer day ~ my own stupidity and actually a very rare occurrence. Easily resolved with a bottle of water. I naturally drink plenty of fluids every day and so this has never been a problem for me but the the first sign is usually a generalized feeling of weakness.
Weight gain for me about 10lbs ~ and I needed it!
I was surprised that I've had NO side effects with lithium. At first I was afraid it would bend my mind in some horrific fashion but, as I said, absolutely no side effects
Keep up the the good work gathering information before making some inportant decisions!
Ok so I'm on the Latuda 60mg and I like it as it has helped my depression and calmed paranoia I wasn't aware of, but it leaves me tired but unable to sleep even with Dalmane I wake up about 5 hours later and my anxiety has been intense and way less controllable when it gets going. I need something else with this and my Klonopin isn't doing it and my Psych takes my suggestions into consideration but has no problem telling me no if he doesn't agree. Any thoughts on what might work well with Lexapro, Latuda, Dexedrine (small doses) but would that cause an interaction as it didnt with Risperidone and klonopin? meds off the list Topamax, Tegretol, Trileptal, (probably Depakote) Remeron, Trazodone, he also thinks Lamictal isn't for me right now but once I'm stable he is all for it and after rethinking Lithium idk if I wanna try it. So what about Seroquel XR 50-150mg and I'm going to start Modafinil or does anybody know of anything? even an old school med that fits my situation? thank you
Modafinil is stupendous but insurance won't pay for it if it's prescribed off-label.for mental disorders. :-(
I get samples from my psychiatrist because I simply can't afford $600/month.
I found a legit way to get a Rx for less than $50 bucks a month if your insurance denies you coverage and its from a pharmacy here in California totally legit but I cant say how because I did on a question I asked and it wasn't approved by admin. Social networking can get you far!
They didn't cover me for Nuvigil and I have an Dx that could be validated easily and is FDA approved Dx of Shift Work Disorder although I wonder if it was because the dosage want correct I was Rx'd 250mg with intent to split them up when prior auth was sent in and 150mg is the dosage for SWD?
Who knows with these bloody insurance companies!!! Hopefully, with all the studies and clinical trials showing the successful use of Nuvigil/Provigil for Major Depressive Disorder and Bipolar disorder we may be getting approval sometime in the near future.
I'm just eternally grateful for a psychiatrist who is considerate enough to keep me well stocked with the drugs I take that aren't generics.
I got a letter saying after reviewing my case my Modafinil was approved with a $5 copay so I'm pretty happy about that. I was going to ask also about Lithium, at what dosage dose the shaking begin? I was going to ask about 900mg or less a day if that's something we go with and can it worsen Depression?
Lithium is not dosed with a standard dosage but rather what amount is needed to place you within the therapeutic range and that may vary significantly from one person to the next. Usually you're started on a low dose and increases will depend on the results of periodic blood tests every few weeks.
I now take 1500mg/day and have never had any side effects ~ including worsening depression.
I used to take Latuda at 80 mg max... this is a good assistance for extreme bad cycles... but for me WAS WAY too much meds when my cycle shifted and I was better ... I dont even use it any more.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has captured the attention of C-suite executives across all industries and is poised to transform businesses in ways we've never seen since the impact of computer technology in the late 20th century.
We are already seeing venture capitalists funding AI start-ups at a rapid pace. Technology companies are also moving swiftly to create and capture value in this emerging area. High-profile acquisitions by Google, Apple and Facebook are piquing interest in Artificial Intelligence technologies such as robotics, expert systems, computer vision, speech, gesture and facial recognition. Companies are creating new research labs devoted to innovating with these technologies.
In Africa, AI has a strong role to play. It will initially be most notable in smaller things, like voice searches for data and translation services to cross language barriers, but will become more relevant in numerous other areas, like reducing time and costs of banking and trading. These will be game changers for numerous customer facing industries, but also for industries like agriculture where it will assist in improving crops and food supplies.
The future will be increasingly about harnessing intelligent automation. The South African Revenue Service is a good example of the strides that can be made in this regard – whereas it needed 20,000 people to manually process tax returns and information a decade ago, by utilising e-filing it can retain that workforce, but set them to task in identifying and handling more complex matters, which ensures better outcomes for the fiscus as well as for taxpayers.
Our research papers demonstrate that as AI matures, it can propel economic growth and potentially serve as a powerful remedy for stagnant productivity and labour shortages of recent decades. Our latest Accenture Technology Vision 2017 report reveals that by changing the nature of work and creating a new relationship between man and machine, AI could double annual economic growth rates by 2035.
Decision makers should recognise that Artificial Intelligence isn't a matter of a single technology or application, but a rich and diverse field. At Accenture, we define it as information systems and applications that can sense, comprehend and act.
Systems that can sense, comprehend and act
Artificial Intelligence systems can be self-learning. They are like bright students who are given educational materials and then can learn by themselves. Artificial Intelligence consists of multiple technologies that enable information systems and applications to sense, comprehend and act. That is, computers are enabled to perceive the world and collect data; analyse and understand the information collected; and make informed decisions.
Artificial Intelligence can also learn from experience and alter their processing and behaviour based on those learnings.
Sense: Consider how a border-control kiosk uses computer vision technologies such as facial recognition to sense characteristics of travellers. Integrated with other technologies such as multispectral image analysis (scanning passports using infrared and ultraviolet light), extensive information databases and matching algorithms, an integrated solution here can improve security by identifying people on unauthorised entry lists or others posing a risk.
Video analytics is another sensing technology that can automate observation and incident detection by video surveillance cameras. Other similar applications can help companies improve physical security at their premises, or they can help retailers count visitors or recognise customers as they enter a store or bank so sales people can provide personalised services.
Comprehend: Artificial Intelligence systems also comprehend through technologies such as natural language processing, inference engines and expert systems. These technologies have a wide range of applications across multiple industries. For example, a medical diagnostic system can help doctors identify diseases and suggest treatments. A doctor interacts with the system by speaking or typing in a native language. The system asks follow-up questions and stores facts in working memory. It then takes the facts of the case, knowledge it has of medicine and infers a solution or treatment.
Finally, the system presents a conclusion or suggestion to the doctor, who uses it as expert input into a final diagnosis and treatment plan.
Act: Artificial Intelligence system acts independently. It can take action within a process, through technologies such as inference engines and expert systems, or it can direct action in the physical world. Consider a widely publicised example of the driverless car which senses the environment, understands the myriad inputs and then steers the car without assistance from a human driver.
Other examples include factory robots that assemble products on the production line, virtual assistants that act by responding to customer or consumer inquiries, and assisted-braking capabilities in cars that sense skids and automatically take action to steer the car safely.
Learn: A distinctive feature of all types of true Artificial Intelligence solutions is their ability, through a technology known as "machine learning," to adapt their capabilities based on experience, rather than needing to have all the rules hard-coded. For decades, computers have been able to process complex questions and give answers, but applications were rigid and any change required programmatic modifications.
Without doubt, Artificial Intelligence is a game-changer for businesses across every industry. A key is not to become too entranced by any particular technology, as if that technology by itself is the answer. It is vital to think first in terms of types of work, and then consider the business rationale for integrating technologies into a total Artificial Intelligence solution related to that work.
It is important that business continues to engage in the ongoing dialogue about these technologies' effects on jobs, education and society. Businesses, educators and policy makers will need to work together to assess impacts and take action accordingly. What happens in terms of the social impact of Artificial Intelligence is not up to the technology but to us. The business opportunity of getting it right is too significant to be left to chance.

"I have to say that my experience with Printweb Caribbean Ltd was nothing short of amazing!"
We care about our clients and what they say about us, especially since the experience of others help to determine perceptions and who companies choose to handle their business. Take a moment to read what others are saying about PrintWeb.
"Finally, a printing company whose rates are reasonable and who deliver when they say they will...
We were quite pleased to use Printweb Caribbean to develop our promotional posters for our new Mount Gay Silver brand. They went above and beyond to meet our requirements. From the professional service to the superior print quality, we will be using Printweb Caribbean again soon. The prices at Printweb are that good."
"Over the last 16 years we have used several printers both here in Barbados and overseas. 2009 proved to be the easiest and most efficient year for us by far. With Designs by the Bay and Printweb we had a brilliant team - in fact our dream team. The magazine was beautifully produced, colour was great and record speed production. Thank you so much from Holders Season."
"PrintWeb has given us good follow up and they kept us informed throughout the process. They provided us an excellent first print of Heartline (many compliments coming in from readers). The delivery ahead of deadline was very much appreciated. Congrats all round."
"I have to say that my experience with Printweb Caribbean Ltd was nothing short of amazing! The company I work for had a very important event... and needed to have some booklets printed. We were in a bind as we couldn't find a printer in Barbados that could:
Printweb was able to do all 3! They exceeded our expectations and delivered high quality booklets and helped to make our event a great success. Oh yes, they literally delivered too! They brought the booklets to our venue so we didn't have to worry about it! Overall, I was very happy and pleased with the service, and look forward to doing much more business with Printweb!"
"The Barbados Council for the Disable's first print job with Printweb was of a very high quality. From the consultations right up to delivery was on schedule. We would certainly use Printweb again. Especially when we are getting VALUE for our money."
"We first came to PrintWeb with a job that other printers found impossible. We wanted 2000 booklets printed in less than two full working days and at a cost that fit our budget. Randy was so helpful and friendly as he tried to find a solution for us. Amazingly, Print Web accepted the job. They delivered a quality product on time and even worked with our budget. We are definitely satisfied with Print Web's service and would recommend them to anyone."

According to The Standard-Times online crime database, there have been at least 25 reported armed robberies this year of convenience stores, bodegas and other small businesses throughout New Bedford.
NEW BEDFORD — Twice this year, someone has pulled a knife on Randy Santos at work.
Mr. Santos, the co-owner of Movieland, a video rental store on Acushnet Avenue, recalls one night in January when he was behind the counter, turned around and saw a man waving an 8-inch knife at him.
A month later, Mr. Santos was stocking the shelves 10 minutes before closing when a man entered the store and flashed a machete, demanding money.
In both robberies, Mr. Santos handed over his cash. Afterward, he was nervous and angry.
"I got so mad I threw an empty vending machine against the wall," Mr. Santos said. "The second time it happened, I thought I should have made a move, but I didn't. I just did what I was told."
He is not alone. Dozens of other businesses in the city have been robbed this year by suspects wielding knives or guns.
According to The Standard-Times online crime database (www.SouthCoastToday.com/nbcrime), which is updated weekly with police arrest report data, there have been at least 25 reported armed robberies this year of convenience stores, bodegas and other small businesses throughout New Bedford.
Police have arrested a few suspects. In late April, narcotics police officers conducting surveillance on Ashley Boulevard caught two men in the process of robbing an Xtra Mart at knifepoint. The same two individuals were suspected of two prior robberies in the area.
However, other suspects have not been arrested. Many flee the area of the crime scene well before police arrive. Witness descriptions tend to vary in their investigatory value. Also, not all stores have surveillance cameras that capture clear images of the suspects.
New Bedford police spokesman Lt. Jeffrey P. Silva said police have seen an increase in store robberies as the economy worsens.
"Although the numbers haven't skyrocketed, there has certainly been a slight increase," he said. "This is mirroring what you're seeing across the country. If you overlay it with the downturn in the economy, there seems to be a strong correlation."
Some convenience stores, most of them on Acushnet Avenue and Ashley Boulevard, have been robbed at least twice.
"If someone wants to rob the place, they're going to," said Jim, a store operator at an Xtra Mart in the North End. He declined to give his last name for security reasons.
Besides the two knifepoint robberies at Movieland, the store was also burglarized May 19 when someone broke through a back entrance at night and stole an empty safe.
Since being robbed, Mr. Santos, who often works nights, has been locking the front door an hour before closing. Except for the Golden Arrow bar next door, most businesses along his portion of Acushnet Avenue close well before his store does.
He said he often does not see the police at night and worries.
"I feel very uptight," he said. "I'm always looking out the windows. Anything can happen."
To reduce the risk of armed robberies, Lt. Silva said police advise businesses to have two associates on duty at all times, as well as keeping registers by the windows, maintaining proper lighting and keeping tight cash control policies.
Training employees is also important.
"Some clerks don't think of hitting the panic alarm, if they have them, or calling 911," Lt. Silva said. "It's important to know where the nearest telephone is. Also, lock the store after the suspects leave so they can't come back in."
Clerks and their supervisors are given discretion on how to best respond when someone enters their stores claiming to be armed and demanding money.
"Our typical advice we give is that we'd rather have a live witness than a brave victim," Lt. Silva said.
"But with that said, the decisions are going to vary. Certainly, it's an individualized decision. There may be some circumstances where they feel they're going to be a victim of an attack and they need to take action. That's a decision they'll have to make."

Quick Reference
Michel Foucault's term for the perception, which he demonstrates is historically false, that the Victorian era was silent on the issue of sex and sexuality. The era that was famously so morbidly fearful of the merest hint of sex that it covered the legs of pianos lest they call to mind naked human legs was as this very example illustrates obsessively concerned with sex. As Foucault argues in La Volonté de savoir (1976), translated as The History of Sexuality: An Introduction (1978), under the guise of repression sex became an object, or even more strongly, an incitement to knowledge in the Victorian era.

Succeeding at compliance today (Sarbanes-Oxley or otherwise) requires a specific corporate culture, according to experts with whom we've spoken. Or at least "compliance culture" is the latest buzzword in the compliance arena. So what does that encompass?
Generally, it addresses incorporating compliance into existing processes across your enterprise rather than allowing compliance to become a standalone, or a process unto itself. Doing this makes processes more efficient and more consistent -- even across departmental boundaries.
But sometimes we forget that compliance also involves people -- at every level, not just the CFOs and CEOs that must sign off on financial statements. As much as automating processes has helped eliminate error, people can't be removed from the equation entirely. Educating staffers as to how their responsibilities fit into the compliance picture and how failing to complete their duties accurately and consistently really could harm the company is a huge part of creating that culture.
A recent E-Commerce Times article provides a good outline of the compliance process as it applies to employees. Though the piece is geared specifically toward payroll professionals, the principles therein could apply to any department, and the tables and illustrations used could be easily adapted to other groups.

Thirst is not just an expression of a need to wet one's whistle. Thirst represents the desire to quench our want for the truth about alcohol. Thirst does not reject alcohol, but rather proposes that we have the right to define it for ourselves. If we choose to drink, we can do so in a moderate way that maximizes life and minimizes harm.
Let's face it, alcohol is associated with many harms: abuse, addiction, crime, violence and FASD to name a few. Perhaps most troubling is that alcohol increases the risk for cancer, liver disease, heart disease and stroke, even when consumed in moderate levels.
By being a part of this conversation, you may decide to make changes in your own life, the lives of your children, and the outlook of your community.
In the broadest sense, Thirst is a quest to examine the various elements that make alcohol so pervasive, and dares to question the why and how of alcohol…just because it is so – should it be so? Can there be meaningful change? Can we build a responsible and healthy culture of moderation together?

Saturday was a SUPER day for Philadelphia's animals! The Animal Care & Control Team (ACCT) shelter, powered by the Pennsylvania SPCA (PSPCA), hosted "Super Adoption Day" on May 16 from 11 AM to 4 PM. This was the first time ACCT opened its doors to the public for adoptions, and the public responded enthusiastically: six dogs were adopted and several others found loving foster homes!
From the balloons decorating the parking lot to the happy pups playing on the front lawn, the atmosphere at ACCT was festive and uplifting. When potential adopters arrived at the shelter, dozens of smiling volunteers were on hand to answer questions, lead meet-and-greets, assist with adoption applications, and help the animals put their best paws forward. With so many volunteers helping out, every dog in the shelter got to roll around in the grass and sunbathe. This gave visitors a chance to see the dogs outside of their kennels, in a natural setting where they could interact with them and see their personalities shine through. Both the dogs and the public loved every minute of it!
"Super Adoption Day" could not have happened without our volunteers, an amazing group of animal-lovers who donate their time, skills, and resources to give Philadelphia's animals a second chance at life. Volunteering at a large, urban animal shelter is challenging work, particularly when a struggling economy has led more and more people to surrender or abandon their pets. But our volunteers consistently go above and beyond the call of duty, and "Super Adoption Day" was a testament to their dedication, passion, and spirit.
Roscoe, Tuck, Tyson, Bambi, Jessica, and Booker -- the lucky dogs that got adopted on Saturday -- give "Super Adoption Day" two paws up, and their furry friends back at the shelter can't wait to do it again soon!

SEEC's Mission
To ensure the preservation and protection of the natural and cultural resources and recreational opportunities of the Upper Skagit Watershed at the highest North American management standards through advocacy, promoting international cooperation and strategic partnerships and investments.
The Commission does not manage any land itself. Rather, it cooperates with government agencies in both the U.S. and Canada which are responsible for this land. Most is publicly owned and administered by the park agencies in the respective countries.
How SEEC Works
The Commission meets several times a year to administer the Fund by reviewing project proposals, monitoring contracts and addressing environmental issues in the Upper Skagit Watershed. The Commission's budget must be approved by the Province of British Columbia and Seattle City Council.
Two Delegations
The sixteen-member Skagit Environmental Endowment Commission charged with administering the Endowment Fund consists of an eight-person Canadian delegation appointed by the Premier of British Columbia and an eight-person U.S. delegation appointed by the Mayor of Seattle. All are appointed to four-year terms on a staggered basis.
Each delegation has four Commissioners and four Alternate Commissioners who vote in the Commissioner's absence. In practice, all members of the Commission participate in a wide variety of projects.
Each delegation elects a Chair from among their Commissioners to serve for the duration of their term.
From time to time there are vacancies on the Commission. Interested?
- In Canada, see "Crown Agencies and Board Resourcing Office" to be considered for future Canadian SEEC Commissioner opportunities.
- In the US, contact Seattle City Light via email at firstname.lastname@example.com .
