text: DigitalBrands Follow Tweens to Digital GamesAdvergames and before-game spots pick up speed.By Christopher Heine|June 25, 2012 ShareBy Christopher Heine|June 25, 2012 Share Tie your ad to a Selena Gomez virtual makeover game and position your brand nearer a tween girl's heart. That's a gender-specific version of a theory being tested by Lego, Kibbles 'n Bits, Hollywood film Mirror Mirror and other advertisers. Working with Dutch company Spil Games, such brands are increasingly targeting tweens with "advergames" and video ads that roll before an online game starts. Michael Cai, a social gaming researcher for Interpret, said this advertising niche, which originated a decade ago, is on the uptick as adolescent and adult consumers are trading away their TV time to play digital games like never before. "The penetration of games among tweens and teens overall is extremely high, and will become even greater as smartphones and tablets become more [prevalent]," he said. Spil Games, which is Europe's answer to Zynga or Rovio, claims 43 million monthly active girl users aged 8 to 12 worldwide, with 7.6 million living in the U.S. The firm offers 4,000 games in 19 languages, targeting tweens and teens with free-to-use online properties like GirlsGoGames.com and games like Selena Gomez Makeover and Pet Party. There's games for boys, too, such as the Lego-sponsored Heroica: The Adventures. Since adding sharing features to its games during the last year, the company says that average time spent has lifted from 38 minutes to 78 minutes. For an effort only running in Europe, per Spil Games CMO Oscar Diele, Lego's advergame has been played hundreds of thousands of times during 2012. "We open up our platforms and help advertisers [develop] their advergames," he said. Sharehttp://adweek.it/2kmStex copy Adweek Adweek

Daddy-Long-Legs/Letter 31
10th April
Dear Mr. Rich-Man,
Here's your cheque for fifty dollars. Thank you very much, but I do not feel that I can keep it. My allowance is sufficient to afford all of the hats that I need. I am sorry that I wrote all that silly stuff about the millinery shop; it's just that I had never seen anything like it before.
However, I wasn't begging! And I would rather not accept any more charity than I have to.
Sincerely yours,
Jerusha Abbott

The leader of the newly-elected SNP group on Scottish Borders Council has today (Monday) unveiled plans to form a "minority administration" to run the local authority.
Councillor Stuart Bell's bid, if successful, would thwart the ambitions of the Conservatives, who emerged victorious from last week's polls – returning 15 of the region's 34 councillors – and believe they have a clear mandate to control the council.
The Tories, who have spent five years in opposition at Newtown, are due to meet tomorrow (Tuesday) morning to discuss their options for forming a ruling administration with the help of some, if not all, of the eight Independents also elected last week.
These Independents are due to meet at 3pm this afternoon (Monday) to agree their demands for a such a power-sharing arrangement.
It is understood, the Independents, who include former leader David Parker, want to fill at least four of the 11 executive member positions, including education and roads, which are up for grabs.
But today, Mr Bell, whose party returned nine councillors at Friday's count, revealed that he, too, has been active in the post-election horsetrading currently under way and has been discussing his plans for maintaining a share of power with the Independents and the two Lib Dems.
"The Conservatives ended up as the largest group because they campaigned on a single issue – stopping a second independence referendum," said Mr Bell.
"This falls far short of forming an ambitious programme for local government, so we are working to establish a minority administration in order to ensure our manifesto commitments are followed through. We want to form a rainbow alliance, based on collaborative policy and decision-making, of councillors opposed to single-issue politics.
"A minority administration may not be something SBC has much experience of, but it has been the basis of successful and stable government at Holyrood and across Europe.
"My group of SNP councillors believe we can build the alliances the understandings required to make this work and we're determined SBC is not dominated by an unrepresentative group of Conservative councillors who have not demonstrated that they know what to do."
Councillor Simon Mountford is leading the Consevatives' power-brokering negotiations along with group leader Michelle Ballantyne and fellow Kelso councillor Tom Weatherston.
"Our group will sit down tomorrow (Tuesday) to consider our options, but any suggestion that this will not be a Conservative administration is totally unrealistic," said Mr Mountford.
The new council will meet for the first time on Thursday, May 18, when a leader and depute leader will be elected along with a figurehead convener who will chair all council meetings and represent SBC in a civic role.
The appointment of executive members, with special responsibility for specific service areas, will take place at another special meeting of the council on May 25.

Sprintly Product Update: 2.19.2014 Update
Last week's update to the Sprintly product included a number of key changes.
Change to Item Detail Page: We moved up the comment and attachment upload box on the item detail (permalink) page. It is now located right below the item description:
It was formerly at the end of an item's activity stream, at the bottom of the page. An item's activity stream will now display from newest to oldest. We heard feedback from our users that it took too much scrolling in order to add new comments and attachments. This is second in a series of updates for the item detail page. We rolled out a big performance boost to this page on February 5th that enabled quicker and more efficient loading. We will continue making additional changes to make this page so it is more user-friendly. We will be incorporating a lot of the feedback we have received from our user base in future releases.
Performance Update – Dashboard: Included in this release is a significant performance patch to the Dashboard that enables quicker page loading. Also, some users were experiencing issues loading new items or items that recently changed state on the Dashboard. We have removed all local caching for the Dashboard to ensure that all item updates are accurately reflected at all times. We will be deploying this same performance update to other Sprintly pages (e.g. the Organizer) in upcoming releases. Also included in this release is a fix for a display bug where new items would sometimes appear twice on the Dashboard and for a short period of time or until the page is refreshed. This display bug has been resolved in this latest release.
Other Bug Fixes: Other updates include a fix to the email notifications check boxes in Settings. We also added back in a second warning prompt for deleting a product from the Sprintly system.
Phew! Now we're back to working on more performance updates and bug fixes! Please don't hesitate to contact us at email@example.com with any questions or concerns.

|It's Shakespeare's birthday today, so in honor of that, I'm doing a journal of the latest project I'm in. It's a touring school production of Much Ado About Nothing I'm cast as Don John and Dogberry (the villain and the clown, respectively.)
One of the interesting things about this project is that we are going from rehearsal to performance in 4 days (I told you, Shakespeare In A Hurry!)
Feel free to ask questions, make comments, or just enjoy my journal.

Team presentation
Human beings are apparently able to communicate knowledge. However, it is impossible for us to know if we share the same representation of knowledge.
mOeX addresses the evolution of knowledge representations in individuals and populations. The ambition of the mOeX project is to answer, in particular, the following questions:
- How do agent populations adapt their knowledge representation to their environment and to other populations?
- How must this knowledge evolve when the environment changes and new populations are encountered?
- How can agents preserve knowledge diversity and is this diversity beneficial?
We study them chiefly in a well-controlled computer science context.
For that purpose, we combine knowledge representation and cultural evolution methods. The former provides formal models of knowledge; the latter provides a well-defined framework for studying situated evolution.
We consider knowledge as a culture and study the properties of adaptation operators applied by populations of agents by jointly:
- experimentally testing the properties of adaptation operators in various situations using experimental cultural evolution, and
- theoretically determining such properties by modelling how operators shape knowledge representation.
We aim at acquiring a precise understanding of knowledge evolution through the consideration of a wide range of situations, representations and adaptation operators.
Research themes
Our work is currently developed along two axis:
- Cultural kowledge evolution, and
- Study of link keys.
Keywords: Artificial intelligence Knowledge representation Cultural evolution Semantic web Data interlinking

Two excellent pieces to read on yesterday's Apple event:
Wired's "The iPhone 5 Is Completely Amazing and Utterly Boring" and
MG Siegler's "Apple's Magic Is In The Turn, Not The Prestige"
Similar themes. Different styles and routes to get the the takeaways. Both full of technical admiration.
Also, I encourage you to watch Apple's iPhone 5 video – if you haven't already. It's beautifully produced, rather simple, encapsulates the above articles / view points, and leaves you asking, "when can I preorder?"

Sales reached 2.12 million units in April, up 6.3 percent year-on-year, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) said.
But both the growth and total sales fell short of March, when vehicle sales rose 8.8 percent to 2.44 million units.
China's economy -- the world's second largest -- grew 6.7 percent year-on-year in the first quarter, its slowest expansion in seven years. But economic figures for April have dashed hopes for a rebound in the economy.
Auto sales reached 24.6 million last year and in October the government sought to boost the market by slashing the purchase tax on passenger cars with small engines in October.
Sales of passenger cars with engines smaller than 1.6 litres rose 12.1 percent in April from a year earlier to 1.28 million units, CAAM said in a statement.
Some foreign auto makers outperformed the overall market. US auto giant General Motors sold 277,979 vehicles in April, up 7.5 percent year-on-year, the company said.
But another US auto maker, Ford, said its sales dropped 11 percent to 82,324 units last month, in part due to maintenance at one of its assembly plants, according to a statement.

How We Got Here...A Passion For Golf And Dirt...
Play Golf Calgary started as HeatherGlen Golf Course over 25 years ago as an 18-hole course outside of Calgary. We expanded HeatherGlen to 27 holes in 1997. HeatherGlen purchased The Links of GlenEagles in 2002 and HeatherGlenEagles Golf Company Ltd. was born.
In 2012, HeatherGlenEagles Golf Company Ltd. purchased Blue Devil Golf Club and opened the doors later that year. Blue Devil was finished in 2013 with a full 18 holes, Range, Lil Devil, and Clubhouse.
With the addition of Blue Devil, we wanted a company name that reflected all three courses and in 2014 we applied to have Play Golf Calgary to be the official trade name for HeatherGlenEagles Golf Company Ltd. Currently we are finishing Serenity Golf Club. Our newest 36 hole facility. It will feature the Suncatcher 18 and the Dancing Bull 18.

The Atlanta Braves have been locking up young talent left and right. In recent weeks they have given long-term contracts to Freddie Freeman and Julio Teheran that bought out arbitration and free-agent years, and on Sunday they did the same with Craig Kimbrel.
Kimbrel and the club were headed toward a potentially contentious arbitration battle, but they avoided the hearing by agreeing to a four-year deal worth $42 million with a fifth-year team option valued at $13 million. The Braves have to be thrilled with this deal, and I bet execs from other clubs are pleased to see it, as well.
Braves win
Kimbrel is just 25 years old, and in each of the past two years he posted an ERA lower than Mariano Rivera ever did.

Colors: OPI DS Classic w/ OPI Espresso Your Style!
This is super easy to do. Simply start your nails as you normally would - base coat, and two coats of your color. Then be sure to let it dry completely!!!! Grab some fancy scissors, which can be found at most super stores and all craft stores. Take your strip of tape and use the scissors to cut it down the middle. Next, carefully place the tape where you want it along your nail. Make sure the decorative line is smooth along your nail, no bubble spots, etc. Do two coats of your accent color along the tape line for each finger. As soon as your second coat is on, take the tape off carefully in a quick smooth motion, then apply your top coat!!

Tagged: Hockey
Bad Weekend in Sports
You would think that because the Red Sox season is over, I would be done attempting to defenestrate myself for the next six months. After this weekend, this is not the case. We'll discuss the horrors team by team here, since, you know, it's no fun only rooting for one team or one sport.
BU Hockey
Oh the hangovers from national championships! BU hockey has been, well, fallible this year. Most games they've been playing just short of wins. They're really into doing this thing where they shoot the puck a billion times into the goalie's chest, which obviously does not really lead to too many goals. BU also is a big fan of not playing defense, and not playing in the second period. Because of this, the team is now 3-6. They are in 9th place (out of 10) in Hockey East and completely tumbled out of all national rankings.
Despite this, I made the decision to travel up to Merrimack on Friday to watch the Terriers take on the Warriors. 2007-2008 was Merrimack's only double-digit win season since 2003-2004. Needless to say, they're a powerhouse.
BU struggled mightily with the Warriors. Or, well, BU actually didn't struggle, as they did not show up for the game after the first period. In the words of BU coach Jack Parker, "We stopped competing." Great, right? The score is deceiving. Merrimack won 6-3, but the final score may have well been 9-0. Additionally, my least favorite player on the team, Colby Cohen, fought two guys. Fighting is illegal in college hockey. He was ejected. This was great, because Colby is a defenseman and at one point, BU had 4 defensemen in the penalty box at once.
BU had six minutes of a 5-on-3 advantage. They didn't score. Nobody fails to score with six minutes of a two man advantage. Defending national champions do not play the way BU did on Friday night. There was no effort, no spark, no leadership. It was disgusting. I was actually nauseated. After the "game," the three other people I traveled up there with and myself went to Friendly's for some comfort food. It was that bad.
Saturday night, BU took a 4-0 advantage in the first period. After that, BU felt that the game was over and it was time for them to partake in Saturday evening festivities. They ended up winning 6-4, but it was more of a "they didn't lose" than a "they won the game" situation. The good news from Saturday is that two of our injured players returned, including the star and assistant captain, Nick Bonino. Also, BU scored six goals, so perhaps they finally figured out that you need to score goals in order to win games. We'll see how they rebound this weekend against UNH.
The Bruins
Last week, I went to the Bruins game against the defending champion Pittsburgh Penguins at the Garden in Boston. The Bs played terrific, shutting out Sidney Crosby and friends 3-0. On Saturday night, the Bruins traveled to Pittsburgh for a rematch. This one didn't go so well.
The game was hard fought, and the Bruins never gave up. They came back from multiple deficits, most remarkably in the third period when they were trailing Pittsburgh 4-3. With 5:47 left in regulation and the Bruins holding a two man advantage (listen to this one, BU), David Krejci swept in on a Zdeno Chara shot and roofed the rebound towards the goal, where Marco Sturm tipped the puck in to tie the game, 4-4. Three minutes later, with 2:29 left in regulation, Zdeno Chara showed off his hardest shot skills, firing a slapshot from just above the left circle past Pittsburgh back-up netminder Brent Johnson. The Bruins were on their way to another victory.
Not so fast. With 4/10 of a second remaining, ex-Bruin Bill Guerin slipped a wristshot from the top of the right faceoff circle past Tim Thomas to send the game to overtime. The Bruins were exhausted, and a little over a minute into overtime, Pascal Dupuis netted the game-winner for the Pens.
After a good, hard effort like Saturday's, you would think the Bruins would come out confident and strong against the Islanders last night.
Six minutes into the game, Matt Moulson capitalized on a turnover in the Bruins offensive zone and some poor defense at the hands of Dennis Widemann and Patrice Bergeron to give the Islanders an early 1-0 lead. The Bruins had a chance towards the end of the first to tie the game with a 5-on-3, but like BU, the Bs did not feel the need to take advantage of their opportunity and squandered the chance. Moulson ended up just shy of a hat trick, scoring two goals and briefly getting credit for a John Tavares goal to start the third. The Bruins lost 4-1, and Patrice Bergeron, who has been one of the best players on the ice this season for the Bs, finished the game with a -4 rating.
Claude Julien admitted after the game that the Islanders "wanted it more than we did." Is there anything more frustrating in sports than when your team does not put forth their best effort? Come on.
The Patriots
Speaking of best efforts . . . I'm not sure if I should title this section The Patriots or Bill Belichick. By now, most people know the story. The Pats were leading the undefeated Colts by a solid 13 point margin coming into the fourth quarter. With a little more than two minutes left, the lead was whittled down to 6. A touchdown could win the game.
On 4th and 2 with 2:08 left in the game, Bill Belichick inexplicably decided to send his offense back out and go for it. Belichick had no challenges left in case he would need them (which he did). Brady threw a short pass to Kevin Faulk who was standing right on the 30-yard line, which is where the Pats needed to get to for the first down. The Patriots got a poor spot, as the referees decided the Patriots were about a yard short of a first down. This gave Peyton Manning two minutes to go 29 yards for the game-winning touchdown. That's a series he will execute every time.
People are saying that the move says Belichick did not have the confidence in his defense to keep the Colts from covering 70-yards in 2 minutes. However, I believe Belichick has to have enough confidence in his defense to be able to hold the Colts from 29-yards out if the Pats do not convert on fourth down. Belichick is a defensive-minded coach. He most likely has faith every game in his defense, because ultimately, it is the defense Belichick himself creates. Any failure on the defense's part is a reflection of Belichick himself.
Additionally, why were the Patriots throwing the ball so short? Why are they throwing for exactly two yards? Why not give themselves the insurance of a few more yards and throw a five-yard pass? Converting there is crucial, and they never should have given the referees the opportunity to decide whether or not the play was long enough for a first down. It's the offense's job to earn the first down, not the referees job to give it to them.
And why
did Belichick waste a timeout at the beginning of a drive? He ended up needing that timeout if he had wanted to challenge the spot of the ball, because when the Patriots did not convert on third down, confusion about whether to punt or not forced the Patriots to use their final timeout to prevent a delay of game penalty.
The bottom line here, though, is that Bill Belichick made the completely wrong decision. With Peyton Manning leading an offense, you must punt the ball on 4th and 2 with 2:08 when holding onto a six point lead. Had it even been a seven point lead, this may have been slightly more understandable because the Colts would have to decide between a two point conversion to win or kicking the extra point to head into overtime. Going for it in this situation, however, gift-wrapped the game for the Colts, a game the Patriots players worked hard to win. A game that was negated because of poor coaching from one of the best coaches in NFL history.
Rodney Harrison and Tedy Bruschi, both former players, criticized their coach. For them to say things like "this was the worst coaching decision I have ever seen Belichick make" (Harrison) and "the decision to go for it would be enough to make my blood boil" (Bruschi) means that they had to 150% believe both in what they were saying and in Belichick's complete and total error.
In my mind, Bill Belichick is still one of the best coaches in football history, but this gaffe definitely mars his reputation. Before Sunday night's game, Belichick was infallible. He was inhuman. He may have lost important games, big games, playoff games, but never because of such a momentous decision on his part. You cannot let one decision decide a career, yet at the same time, you cannot overlook this one decision in judgement of Belichick, because this one decision takes him down that notch from infallibility to simply extraordinary.
It will be hard to get over this game because it most likely cost the Pats home field advantage in the playoffs, but at the same time, the season goes on. This is not Grady Little. This is not going to cost Belichick his job. This is the regular season. Yet at the same time, it is November, the Colts did, by virtue of their win, tie the Patriots for second in consecutive wins (18), the Colts are a rival. This is a game that I will never forget.

The Role of the Fan
It should be well known here that once the off season comes around, all the energy I devote to my beloved Red Sox transfers to the Boston University Men's Ice Hockey team. We won the NCAA Division I Championship last year, along with 6 other championships we played for over the course of a 35-6-4 run. Along the way, we picked up quite a few bandwagon fans. Some of these people actually learned about the game of hockey and now enjoy the sport. Some, well, they'll just remain bandwagon-ers.
The Terriers have been mediocre this season. They are now 2-4, which is actually a decent record considering some of the teams they have played against (Notre Dame, Michigan, UMass Lowell). Already, many students are jumping ship, giving up on the season, making plans to travel abroad in the spring because they feel they will not be missing anything.
Meanwhile, there is a solid core of fans who are sticking by this team through their struggles and growing pains. Last night, Boston University traveled to Northeastern for their sixth game of the season. BU was without stars like Nick Bonino and David Warsofsky. The lines were strange and the power-play had lost two if its key leaders. Despite this, about 100-150 students gathered in the lower bowl of Matthew's Arena, clad in jerseys and standing for 60 minutes to support the players who were able to take the ice.
Northeastern fans were vicious. Before the game even started, they were throwing water bottles at BU fans' heads. A policeman had to stand guard by the BU section, and he had to take down names of BU victims for police reports against Northeastern fans. During the national anthem, the Northeastern fans started screaming and talking about halfway through. They made sure to frequently chant "F* BU." They encouraged people in the bathroom to use BU fans as urinals.
Through it all, though, the BU fans ignored the Northeastern behavior. They focused instead on the players on the ice, screaming Let's Go Terriers, Go BU, Rough 'em up, rough em up, go BU!
Towards the end of the game, when BU was down 1-0 with 40 shots on goal, a Northeastern viciously slammed a BU player, Alex Chiasson, head-first into the boards. That type of hit can easily break a player's neck. It's not only illegal, it's unsportsmanlike. The player was ejected from the game, and Northeastern fans were livid. They felt it was a bulls*t call. The resulting 5-minute penalty put BU on a 6 on 4 for the remainder of the game.
The BU section was well-located right where BU shot twice, so for the third period, BU fans were right next to the BU players. All 100-150 fans there were shouting as loudly as they could: "You can do this, boys. You got this. Play your game. You are doing so well. You got this!" Except for the last three minutes of the national championship game when BU was down 3-1, I had never seen such encouragement from BU fans, such positivity. Until the game was over, nobody mentioned the shot inefficiencies. These fans were truly there to root the Terriers on. They could care less about what Northeastern fans were saying, what the score was, how BU was playing. They just wanted the best out of the players. It was phenomenal.
I would love to say that's how BU fans are for every game. Certainly, the Dog Pound brings an unmatched, continuous intensity to every college hockey game they watch. Throughout this, though, there are a lot of "Why does this player suck?" or "What does he think he's doing out there?" or "Why did this player ever think it would be a good idea for him to play hockey?" When BU loses or plays poorly at Agganis, fans scream at the players as if they are failures or do not know anything about what they are doing.
It's terrible. I personally have never, ever booed a player on the team I cheer for. I hated David Wells, but when he played for the Red Sox, I always made sure to encourage him, coax him into a strikeout, say anything supportive. Similarly, I hate one of BU's players, Colby Cohen. I say a lot of bad things about him when BU is not playing. During game-time, however, I would never say anything against him. It doesn't help, especially in college hockey venues where players can actually hear what the crowd is saying and know when their fans are criticizing them. It is never a fan's place to boo their own player. There is a reason fans are in the stands and players are on the ice or fields. Though fans are not always 100% supportive at Agganis, the negativity did not travel to Matthew's last night, and that was great to see.
Rivalries are great for sports. They bring a higher competitive edge to games, and a lot of Northeastern fans last night were fun to combat in cheers in comments. One fan asked the BU fans which hat they were wearing last night, the National Championship hat or the Beanpot hat. It was a play on how highly BU fans esteem the Beanpot tournament, and if BU had lost the Beanpot last year, it would be interesting what people would say when they won the NCAA championship (most likely, it would have been "Well, a national championship is nice, but it's no Beanpot). Northeastern was a big fan of the "Sucks to BU" chant, which, while not very original, is still nothing unsportsmanlike. It's not like we don't say "BC sucks" at every hockey game, regardless of whether we are actually playing BC or not.
However, there were a large group of students there who did not even seem to realize Northeastern was playing. They were so occupied with telling BU fans how they were ******* and ******* and ***** that I'm not sure they saw much of the game. Quite a few were kicked out before the game started, and more were kicked out during the game. I cannot consider them actual fans of Northeastern. Sure, real fans will make fun of us, but they will also watch the game and remember to cheer for their team. There were a good amount of those fans there last night, but they were unfortunately overshadowed by the poor sportsmanship of some of their comrades.
Last night's game was very well played by BU. They turned out their best powerplay performance of the season despite the significant injuries that kept a good group of guys from playing. They owned puck possession, improved their face-offs, played their best defense of the season, shut down Northeastern for the most part offensively, and did not get overly physical when Northeastern started playing dirty. Northeastern also played decently. Their offense was not anything special, but their goaltending was fantastic and their defensive dedication paid off. In terms of opportunities, Northeastern certainly stole the win, but at the same time they were not undeserving of a W.
While it's unfortunate that a select group of Northeastern students clouded the experience for BU fans, I am so impressed by the BU fans' reactions and diligence. The BU fans were there for the team. They did not engage the Northeastern students the way the could have and represented the university very well last night. I really hope this behavior will carry over and continue at Agganis and the remaining road games, and I am very proud of BU for displaying what a true fan should be.
Go Terriers!
What I do during the "offseason"
Since the Red Sox are still planning on not bringing a catcher to Spring Training, and not a whole lot of interesting things are going on with the team, I'd figure that I'd share here what I do while not obsessively updating myself on all things Red Sox.
- Contrary to popular belief, BC is neither in Boston nor a college. The campus is located in the Chestnut Hill area of Newton, Massachusetts, and BC is considered a university. Thus, we here at BU find it quite appropo to call them Newton University.
- BC stinks. Sure, they may have won an NCAA championship last year, but really, what do championships say about a team. I mean, the Arizona Cardinals are going to the Super Bowl this year. Do I consider them a legitimate football team? No. There are such things as flukes, or aberrations. Whichever you prefer.
- The so-called Superfans are actually Super Frauds. These children can't even buy themselves hockey jerseys to wear to games, and when The Dog Pound mercilessly teased them on Saturday night when BU killed BC, 5-2, these "fans" neglected to even respond. I call that lame.

Safety first
Before being used in humans, drugs undergo rigorous safety testing
It typically takes more than a decade for a new drug to go from initial research to use in the clinic. During this time, companies have to show that their drug actually does something beneficial and that it is safe.
There are a host of regulatory processes that have been set up to ensure these criteria are met before a drug is made available. They are designed to protect the public from harmful drugs and modern-day snake-oil salesmen. But no drug is entirely without side-effects, and medicines can themselves be a source of ill health.
While companies developing conventional medicines spend millions proving that their products work, there is no such regulation of complementary and alternative products (although various moves are being made to enhance quality control, which could help overcome the risk of contamination and batch-to-batch variation).
Snake-oil salesmen sold cure-all potions in the Wild West. The term is now used for anyone selling dubious medicines.
Use of animals in safety testing
The use of animals in safety testing is a key stage in drug development.
In 1937, US company S. E. Massengill used diethylene glycol, a sweet-tasting chemical, to prepare a new sulfa drug in syrup form. The sweet preparation had a sour aftertaste – more than 100 people, mostly children, died after taking it.
Although Massengill's chemists studied the appearance, flavour and smell of their 'elixir of sulfanilamide', they did not test its toxicity; unfortunately, diethylene glycol is a poison. And although the thalidomide case is sometimes used as an argument against animal testing – it was shown to be safe in animals – in fact, the reverse is true. Despite being marketed as a remedy for morning sickness, it was never tested on pregnant animals to see whether it affected the fetus.
Both these cases led to a tightening up of drug-testing regulation. Animal testing determines whether the drug is non-toxic and whether it is absorbed by the blood, goes to the right part of the body, works effectively and is properly excreted. It can also reveal how it is metabolised – a single chemical may be converted into tens or even hundreds of metabolites in the body. Crucially, animal tests lessen the risk to human volunteers, the next stage in the drug development process.
Although there are alternatives that can substitute for some aspects of safety testing, nothing can yet model the complexity of a living organism.
So does animal testing perfectly predict what happens in people? No. Some drugs went through an animal screening stage yet still turned out to be toxic in humans. This is hardly surprising – rodents are similar to humans but obviously not identical. It is a question of reducing risk. The risk remains too high to leap from test-tube to human without the use of animal models.Lead image:

Six months ago I wrote a blog about my colon issues. I wanted to update this post.
Quick recap:
I had two polyps removed from my colon five years ago and then two more six months ago. One of the polyps was huge so my gasterologist ordered me to have another colonoscopy six months later.
Six months later:
I wasn't really concerned. I set up the appointment, drank the juice, and showed up for my colonoscopy. When I woke up I was devastated to hear the news, seven new polyps in six months had grown!!!!
What does this mean for me?
My new reality:
I have to live a more healthy life in order to try and reduce my polyp production. Thirty seven is way too young to have this problem. Polyps can turn into colon cancer so I have to be on top of this or I will get colon cancer. The doctor is doing another colonoscopy in a year. He said that I will probably have polyps. The bad thing is that the one thing that matters most, genetics, is out of my control. Because I am so young and fairly, genetics is what is causing me to have polyps. I have no control over this.
Does this mean I should just do whatever and accept my fate?
No. By having a healthy diet, eating more vegetables, and exercising, I can help reduce my polyp production.
Polyps are produced in your colon. What you eat does matter. Your colon has to work a lot harder when you eat processed foods and red meat.
I have spent countless hours worrying about this and scared of having to get my colon removed (getting a bag) and getting colon cancer and dying. I met with my gasterologist and here is what I came away from the meeting that I wanted to share with everyone.
- If you have ANY family history of colon cancer (ANY), you MUST go and have a colonoscopy (even if you are young!!!!) NOW! Call the doctor as soon as you get finished reading this! It was a fluke that I had mine at 32 and I thank God that I did. I would have for sure gotten colon cancer. Routine colon screenings start at 50. This would have probably been too late for me. Polyps don't normally have symptoms so in many cases, people learn too late (stage four) that they have colon cancer. You CAN'T control genetics. Are there probably more 37 year olds out there with polyps? Yes…they just haven't gotten colonoscopies to see what is in there.
- Take a low dose of aspirin every day. This was on the news yesterday. Studies have shown that this can help reduce your chance of getting colon cancer. You have to, though, be careful and talk to your doctor. Some people should not take aspirin daily for various reasons.
- Try to limit your red meat intake. I LOVE red meat. It is harder for your body to process than fish or chicken. Don't eat more than two servings of red meat a week.
- Take daily multiple vitamins.
- Take vitamin C (this helps in preventing polyps)
- Eat more fiber! My gasterologist said that prunes are the best. He said to eat three or four a day!!! There are lots of foods that are high in fiber (corn, edamame, avocados, beans, pears, apples)
- Eat more veggies and fruits!!!! Cabbage and brussel sprouts are two of the best cancer fighting foods!
- Drink green tea when you can.
- Don't drink a lot of alcohol (no more than 14 glasses a week…less or none is even better)
- Don't smoke (increases your chance of polyps)
- Lose weight if your are overweight (being overweight increases your chances of polyps
I will go back in a year to have another colonoscopy. I pray that my lifestyle changes will have an impact!!!! I may have to get a colonoscopy every year (and maybe every six months when I get older) for them to remove polyps. I will happily do this if it means that I won't get colon cancer. My doctor told me to stop stressing out so much about this. The best thing I can do is to live a healthy lifestyle and stay on top of this. If I stay on top of it, I have a better chance of beating this!
Please investigate your family history. If you have anyone in your family with a history of colon cancer, please get a colonoscopy. It is better to be safe, than to be sorry. Don't be scared of going. The procedure is not a big deal and worth knowing what is going on.
I have two friends my age who recently got colonoscopies. One friend had a dad who had colon cancer so she went to get checked. She was good. My other friend didn't have family history and got checked (because she has gastro issues) and she ended up having two polyps, one being pre-cancerous. Please don't think it can't happen to you because it can. Hopefully you will look over the tips and implement them.
My question for you is this: Who is ready to go and get a colonoscopy?

Published July/August 2013
by D. Culver Smith III
On June 6, 2013, the Supreme Court of Florida adopted a "Code for Resolving Professionalism Complaints." In re Code for Resolving Professionalism Complaints, No. SC13‑688 (Fla. June 6, 2013). This comes at the request of the Supreme Court of Florida Commission on Professionalism, which the Court created in 1996 at the request of The Florida Bar following a task-force report that Florida lawyers' professionalism was in a state of "steep decline." The Court noted that since that time, state and local efforts to enhance professionalism have followed a "passive, academic approach" (CLE programs, etc.) that "has probably had a positive impact toward improving professionalism or at least maintaining the status quo by preventing a further decline." Id. slip op. at 2. Nonetheless, the Court agreed with the Commission "that we continue to experience significant problems that are unacceptable," id., and that "further integrated, affirmative, practical and active measures are now needed." Id. slip op. at 2–3.
The new code is not a "code of professionalism" per se, rather incorporates by reference certain existing standards of behavior: the Oath of Admission to The Florida Bar, the Florida Bar Creed of Professionalism, the Florida Bar Ideals and Goals of Professionalism, the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar, and the decisions of the Court itself. The first three are easy enough to absorb, but the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar and especially the Court's decisions leave a lawyer with a vast expanse of uncertainty. Nonetheless, this is the first time that the Court has officially adopted the Florida Bar Ideals and Goals of Professionalism and the Florida Bar Creed of Professionalism as standards for professional behavior.
The new code establishes a mechanism for processing complaints of unprofessional conduct that does not necessarily rise to the level of an ethics violation. It calls for such complaints to be screened by The Florida Bar's Attorney Consumer Assistance Program department (ACAP). ACAP currently performs the intake and screening functions for all bar grievances—i.e., the first-line determination whether an ethical violation may have occurred. The code gives ACAP the option of providing remedial guidance or referring the matter to a "local professionalism panel." If ACAP views the complained-of conduct as rising to the level of an ethics violation, it likely will refer the complaint to one of the Bar's disciplinary branch offices for further investigation and processing.
This comes more than twenty years after the Palm Beach County Bar Association adopted Standards of Professional Courtesy that themselves incorporate by reference the Florida Bar Ideals and Goals of Professionalism. Those standards have been endorsed by the judges of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit by administrative order that created a circuit Professionalism Council for receiving and processing complaints of unprofessional conduct by lawyers practicing in this circuit. The new code does not purport to preempt that process. The Palm Beach County Bar Association Professionalism Committee currently doubles as the local Circuit Committee on Professionalism. By the time this article is published, our chief judge will have designated the committee or the Professionalism Council as this circuit's Local Professionalism Panel under the new code.
How this new effort by the Supreme Court will play out remains to be seen. Regardless, the Court unequivocally has spoken to unprofessional behavior by Florida lawyers. The Court already has demonstrated a readiness to impose discipline for disruptive, rude, or unprofessional behavior that one otherwise might believe does not rise to the level of an ethics violation. It has done so under the guise of Rule Regulating The Florida Bar 4‑8.4(d), which prohibits conduct "prejudicial to the administration of justice, including to knowingly, or through callous indifference, disparage, humiliate, or discriminate against litigants, jurors, witnesses, court personnel, or other lawyers on any basis." It cites some examples in the new code itself, including Florida Bar v. Ratiner, 46 So. 3d 35 (Fla. 2010) (suspension, public reprimand, and probation with conditions), and Florida Bar v. Martocci, 791 So. 2d 1074 (Fla. 2001) (public reprimand and probation with conditions). One hopes that the Court's adoption of the Oath of Admission, the Creed of Professionalism, and the Ideals and Goals of Professionalism as "Standards of Professionalism" and creation of a process for resolving professionalism complaints will be seen by Florida lawyers as a warning shot and will further deter unprofessional conduct.
As of this writing, one can find The Florida Bar Ideals and Goals of Professionalism on the Bar's website by clicking on "Professional Practice," then "Henry Latimer Center for Professionalism," then "About the Center," then "Ideals and Goals of Professionalism," and The Creed of Professionalism by clicking on "Professional Practice," then "Henry Latimer Center for Professionalism," then "About the Center," then "Guidelines for Professional Conduct," then "The Creed of Professionalism."

Harvard kicks off a 12-game homestand with a non-conference contest against Providence Tuesday afternoon.
Series History
Tuesday will feature the 34th meeting between the Crimson and Friars. Harvard trails. 12-20-1, in the all-time series but has performed well in recent matchups against Providence. The Crimson has claimed wins in three of the last five meetings, but dropped a narrow, 3-2, decision to the Friars last April in Providence, R.I. Harvard's biggest win came in 2010 when the Crimson plated seven runs in the top of the 10th inning to post an 8-1 win on the road.
About Harvard
The Crimson will be making its second appearance of the season at Soldiers Field after taking down Rhode Island in a pair of games to open its home slate last week. Over the weekend, Harvard absorbed a pair of losses to 2012 South Division Champion Penn, before sweeping Columbia in a Saturday doubleheader.
A stellar week of production from junior Kasey Lange saw her launch four home runs in six games and she now holds the team lead with six on the year. She also has a team-best 17 RBI and is tied for the team lead with 21 hits. Andrea Del Conte continues to hold the lead in batting average at .333, and also has a team-high eight stolen bases. Katherine Lantz is tied for the team lead in hits with 21 and Emily Gusse is second on the team with 12 RBI.
Freshman Morgan Groom has been solid of late for Harvard, owning the best earned-run average on the team at 2.11. She has pitched a team-best 63 innings and has 50 strikeouts to her credit.
Scouting Providence
The Friars begin the game against Harvard with a 9-17-1 record on the year and an 0-3 mark in conference play. In its last time out, Providence lost to and tied Boston University two wrap up a seven-game home stretch.
The Providence offense has been balanced and potent so far this season, as it boasts six players with .300 or better batting averages. Stephanie Kiesel sits atop that group at .354 while Kristie Dederick leads all players with 30 hits and 22 RBI. Sarah Kitterman has a team-best five homeruns and Kiarra Baldassari has been effective on the base paths, swiping 12 bases on the year.
Kiara Amos has done most of the work in the circle for Providence, as she has already eclipsed the 100-inning mark at 108 for the year. Her five wins in a team-high while Corinne Clauss boasts a team-best 3.15 ERA in 40 innings pitched this season.
Up Next
Harvard returns to Ivy League play this weekend with a pair of doubleheaders against Princeton and Cornell.

A public prosecutor in Duisburg has filed charges against 10 people for their role in the Love Parade disaster of 2010. The charges include involuntary manslaughter for the panic that resulted in the deaths of 21 people.
Wednesday's announcement from Michael Schwarz, Senior Public Prosecutor in the Germany city of Duisburg, indicated that six public servants from the city of Duisburg and four employees of Lopavent, the company that put on the Love Parade, were facing criminal charges. The charges include involuntary manslaughter and bodily injury caused by negligence.
Additional proceedings against six other people were stopped due to a lack of grounds for suspicion.
In June 2010, hundreds of thousands of techno music fans were at the Love Parade festival in Duisburg. A bottleneck formed at one of the tunnels leading into the festival grounds, and as people attempted to move in both directions through the tunnel, people began to panic. Nineteen individuals either suffocated or were trampled to death at the scene, while a further two victims died in the hospital. According to the statement from the public prosecutor Wednesday, at least 652 others were injured.
Accusations of responsibility bounced back and forth between the festival organizers and the city officials who had approved and overseen the permits necessary to hold the event.
Two main causes
According to the investigation that followed and was concluded Monday, "the fatal outcome of the Love Parade is solely due to two causes," read Schwarz's statement.
"Fatal errors with the planning and approval of the event as well as a lack of monitoring safety-relevant requirements on the day of the event led to" the deaths and injuries, the statement added.
In addition, the entrances and exits to the festival grounds were not adequate to handle the crowds that came. The prosecutor's office concluded that it should have been recognized by the public servants and event planners that the safety measures were inadequate and would result in a life-threatening situation.
Adolf Sauerland, the mayor of Duisburg at the time of the tragedy, is not among those facing charges. He resisted calls to resign after the tragedy but was later voted out of office. The head of Lopavent, Rainer Schaller, has not been charged, either.
"There are no reasons to believe that [Sauerland and Schaller] themselves had any influence on the faulty planning or on granting the unlawful approval," the prosecutors statement read. "They were also entitled to be confident that the persons who were responsible for the planning and approval would duly check the project on the basis of their expertise."
A district court must now decide if any of the charges will be brought to trial.

Mayor Adolf Sauerland has been voted out of office in the German city of Duisburg. Residents who blame Sauerland for 21 deaths at the Love Parade music festival in 2010 forced the vote. (12.02.2012)
German state prosecutors have opened an investigation into the stampede that killed 19 people and injured hundreds at the Love Parade music festival in Duisburg. But questions remain as to what caused the tragedy. (25.07.2010)

- Insufficient Internet bandwidth: It is possible that the upload speed of your Internet connection is too slow. Check your internet connection at www.speedtest.net. We recommend an upload speed minimum of 3.2 Mbps. 4 Mbps is preferred.
- Insufficient CPU: Ensure additional programs are not running in the background or accessing the Internet (ie iTunes, Skype, YouTube, etc). Your stream can become choppy if your CPU usage is so high that it causes your computer to slow down. This can affect both the broadcaster stream quality and viewer stream quality.
- Close all other programs: By closing other programs running on your computer (iTunes, Skype, YouTube), you will free up CPU and help your computer run faster.
- Lowering the streaming bitrate will help with the stream latency and make the visibility of the stream much better.

Mothers Day Peace Pie Delivered to Kerry Bentivolio's Office
Thanks to Gloria Gonek for arranging our annual visit to our representatives requesting support of peace legislation! We had a great visit with the congressman's office manager, Cal Matle. He generously gave us over an hour to discuss our priorities of supporting legislation that would reduce violence such as the Youth Promise Act and the Department of Peacebuilding (H.R. 808).
We shared our Political Action Guide for Peace and a large packet of materials including information on the U.S. Peace Index.
Gloria presented an all-American cherry pie and accompanying pie chart showing our federal budget with a small sliver (1%) for peace.

I say FINALLY because I have been waiting to read this book for quite some time. As what some might say a "recent" fan of Dr. Who and time travel interests in general this book has been twisting in my peripheral for quite some time. (although I must say that if you really want to get into specifics time travel roms have always interested me and Gwyn Cready's series is still one of my faves despite the connection to Pittsburgh…. hehehe….. sorry you can't take the hockey completely out of me…. and as many know I am not a Pens fan) But wait…… I was talking about this amazing book by Rysa Walker called Timebound that I adored! So without any more diversions here is what I thought and why I think you should all go and purchase this one immediately!!!
Timebound (the Chronos files book 1) by Rysa Walker
5 Hockeystyxxx
Kate is your typical teenager trying to deal with normal girl things.
Boys. Best Friends. School. Family.
Splitting her time between divorced parents homes and trying not to chose a side between them especially when her estranged grandmother comes to her with an offer she cannot refuse, Kate has no idea who to believe. When she is attacked on her way to school by a man who steals her backpack and the bizarre book her grandmother had given her a handsome stranger helps her out; but not without giving her a warning and a kiss that brought a vision of more. When she gets back to her grandmother and the sanctuary of her home, things gets even more twisted in her life when her very existence is threatened. She has no choice but to believe in what her grandmother and her assistant have told her…. That she carries a gene that allows her to travel through time when she goes to her school and witnesses for herself that she does not exist in the current timeline. Meeting a guy that not only believes her when she spills her secrets but wants to help her is her bright light through dealing with the loss of her whole life as she knew it but when she must go back in time and stop a threat to her grandmother that will bring massive changes to the world as they know it she has to go it alone. Headed back to Chicago and the Worlds Fair of 1893, Kate encounters many obstacles as she tries to stop not only a murder but catastrophic changes in reality that will change the world forever. All while facing the reality that if she is successful she will lose the person that helped her through the worst days of her life.
I'm stopping from giving any more "spoilers" and saying please pick this one up for yourself. Yes it is of the Y/A genre but it doesn't read like a lot of those in that category. It is a captivating read that has me salivating for more. Kate's journey through this book is never boring and it moves at a very fast pace. The poor girl is thrown so many curves in the span this, her first story, but she bats away almost every threat with the maturity of a woman who has lived many lives. The fact that this is in itself true set aside. Dealing with losing everyone she loved, the suspected betrayal of those who should embrace her, and the multiple realities that have her heart split between two guys who love her and are willing to sacrifice everything to save her is a lot for anyone but Kate pulls no punches. She keeps kicking and fighting and I can't wait to see where the future takes her…. or shall I say the past? The second book in the series

We celebrate the feastday of St Gerard Majella on the 16th October. Gerard Majella was born in 1726 in the southern Italian town of Muro near Naples. As he grew up, Gerard spent a lot of time in prayer and he developed a great love for God. He became known for his kindness to people and led a frugal life, so that he could share his tailor's earnings with the poor. When he was 23 he left home to become a Redemptorist. He was particularly faithful to prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, meditation on the Passion of Jesus, and devotion to our Blessed Mother. His work, which varied from cleaning and cooking to giving spiritual advice was an inspiration to all. He was well known too for his care of the poor and distressed.
At the age of 29, he got tuberculosis and died on October 16th 1755. He was declared a saint by Pope Pius X in 1904.
Today. St. Gerard has won the love and devotion of many for the numerous miracles attributed to his intercession. He is well known for his protection of expectant mothers and is recognised as patron of mothers and babies. He is popularly known as "the mothers' saint."

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 3 - Advanced)
Topic: Illustrate the meaning of "All that Glitters is Not Gold" (without using the actual phrase or literal example). (01/24/08)
- TITLE: Pastor Matthew McMayhem and Family
By Laury Hubrich
Pastor Matthew McMayhem stands at the pulpit proudly dressed in a three-piece suit and silk tie. Not a hair out of place, this man of God smiles as the spotlight shines down on him, creating an illusion of heavenly perfection as the cameras roll.
"Greetings! Welcome to 'First-Church-of-the-Listen-to-Me-and-You-Will-Be-Saved.'"
The camera sweeps out into the audience and zooms in on the front row where Mrs. Mindy McMayhem sits with their ten-year old twin daughters, Misty and McKenna. All three smile sweetly, sporting Bibles in their laps and Kleenex in their hands.
Each and every Sunday morning, from 10:45 until noon, the McMayhems are on public display as the church service is broadcast throughout the whole of the state. Not only do people faithfully watch but they also flock to the small town to be a part of this modern day phenomenon. This day is no exception. The packed pews cause late-comers to stand at the door hoping to get a peek at this mighty man.
The newspapers tout them as being a "fine, upstanding Christian family." The McMayhems are used by their viewers and members as a measuring stick to gauge how successful their marriages and families are.
Wives swoon at Pastor Matthew's feet and look at their husbands in disgust.
Husbands look at Mrs. McMayhem in admiration and then look at their wives, wondering when they became so frumpy.
Mothers say to their children, "Look at little Misty and McKenna sitting still," then the small ones whimper as mothers all across the sanctuary pinch little legs to get the culprits in line.
Children look at Misty and McKenna and wonder how many times their mom pinches them off-camera. How else could they sit so still?
The piano plays softly as Pastor McMayhem preaches. The choir sways as they are moved in the spirit of McMayhems words. As the excitement intensifies, the piano gets louder and the people shout in unison, "Amen!" and "Preach it, Brother!" Adult members sit at the edges of their seats, waiting for the next divine word to be spoken.
Pastor McMayhem uses phrases such as, "You, too, can be successful if only you…" and "for only $100 a week you, too, can have…" There is chaos as the congregation as one, rushes to get out checkbooks so as to be ready when the offering plate goes by.
Across the street, a small congregation of fifty gathers around their well-loved minister and his family to pray. The Taylors are going through hard times financially, as are many from the small community. The elders lay their hands on the couple. A sense of calmness spreads throughout the assembly as the spirit of the Lord fills the building. The people kneel at the altar and savor His presence. In the sweet quietness, the swell of music flows through their windows as the First-Church-of-the-Listen-to-Me-and-You-Will-Be-Saved', blares out the closing song. A spirit of grieving falls on the people and they begin to pray for their neighboring church as well.
This Bible-teaching church closes their service with hugs. Not wanting to leave, men and women huddle in small groups to pray or rejoice over answered prayers. Tears run down faces and eyes sparkle. They know they have been witnesses to the very presence of God this Lord's Day, even as the evil spirit across the street seeks to destroy them.
After the service, Pastor and Mrs. Taylor walk to their car several blocks away, due to the high volume of traffic from their neighboring church. They hold hands as they watch their children laugh and pull pranks on each other. Not sure of their future, they know that God is protecting them and their small but faithful congregation. This makes their steps light and their mood joy-filled.
As the Taylors near the 'First-Church-of-the-Listen-to-Me-and-You-Will-Be-saved', Pastor McMayhem and his family walk across the street to their large, two-story home.
Matthew scowls at his wife. "Why didn't you tell me my button was undone?"
Mindy looks at her husband in disgust and snaps back, "It's all I can do to keep these two brats in line. Besides that, you have that little blonde in the choir to shine your shoes and fix your tie. I'm surprised she didn't notice!"
Pastor and Mrs. Taylor feel evil in the air as the two families pass by each other. "Good afternoon, Matt, Mindy." Pastor Matthew acknowledges them with a flick of the wrist and continues to walk, spitting venom along the way.

For the second time in two days, the North Dakota National Guard has formalized a partnership with a west African nation. Today's signing ceremony officially affiliates the North Dakota National Guard and the Togolese Republic as a component of the National Guard Bureau's State Partnership Program. The ceremony took place at the military headquarters in the capital city of Lome, April 4, 2014.
Maj. Gen. David Sprynczynatyk, North Dakota adjutant general, co-signed the partnership with Brig. Gen. Abalo Kadangha, chief of Defense Staff of the Togolese Armed Forces.
"Our National Guard, through the State Partnership Program, is committed to strengthening the friendship between Togo and the United States," Sprynczynatyk said during the ceremony. "It is my privilege to sign this agreement which is intended to be both cooperative and mutually beneficial to our countries."
In a private conversation after the ceremony, Kadangha compared the partnership to a marriage in African culture.
"When a young woman marries a man from a neighboring village in Africa, it strengthens the bond between the villages and the people there. This is our hope for this partnership with the North Dakota National Guard," he said.
This agreement marks the beginning of a military-to-military partnership and elevates North Dakota as the first state to enter in to partnerships with multiple neighboring countries in what has become known as a regionalization concept. Togo is centered between the nations of Ghana and the Republic of Benin, both of which are partner countries with North Dakota.
A reception following the ceremony was where attendees enjoyed local food and exchanged gifts. Sprynczynatyk presented a North Dakota state flag to the Togolese military leaders.
"We will hang it up where everyone can see it," Kadangha added.
A State Partnership Program agreement was signed yesterday with Benin and North Dakota is currently celebrating its 10-year partnership with Ghana.
The three partner nations will present opportunities for joint, multilateral engagements that can be beneficial in providing valuable training for the North Dakota National Guard. Soldiers and Airmen working with Ghanaian, Beninese, and Togolese officials will demonstrate how military organizations can interact with citizens and their government, while reinforcing the concept that the military is subordinate to its respective nation's civil authorities. The State Partnership Program links a unique component of the Department of Defense, a state's National Guard, with the armed forces or equivalent of a partner country in a cooperative, mutually beneficial relationship.
At the national level, the SPP is in its 20th year of successfully building relationships between the United States and nations around the globe. With the inclusion of Benin and Togo, the SPP includes 68 unique security partnerships.
