What were some of the personal experiences that served to catalyze Envirovet and it's emphasis on One Health?
July 2011
What do you think the ultimate impact of the Envirovet Summer Institute will be on the welfare of animals?
Globally, veterinary medicine has greatly improved the health and productivity of animals used in food production, as well as the soundness of horses and other species used both to pull the plow and to provide transportation. In the West and increasingly worldwide, veterinarians have actively contributed to the well-being of companion animals. Veterinarians also have become leaders in a range of basic and applied biomedical research endeavors, as well as in health-related regulatory agencies. However, the profession has not succeeded as broadly in the area of wildlife protection. Recognition of this shortcoming resulted in the development of Envirovet as well as its evolution. With the support of the Nathan Cummings Foundation and its director Delora Weese-Mayer, the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, the Howard Gilman Foundation, White Oak Conservation Center, the Bay and Paul Foundations, and corporate sponsors, including Eli Lilly and Company, Monsanto, and Dow AgroSciences, Envirovet is helping to catalyze a change so that the veterinary profession goes beyond its established roles into the difficult issues of ecosystem health. The major impact will be that young veterinarians will change career directions, undertake further education and training, and gain on-the-job experience so that they transform their strong environmental commitments to brighter environmental realities. Combining biomedical and ecological knowledge and skills, Envirovet participants will work in concert with other professionals to restore the health and well-being of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and their resident wildlife populations.
During the course, students will study the biota not only of pristine sites but also of sites where stressors have created a depauperate ecosystem. Through these field exercises and coupled lectures and laboratories, students will gain an understanding not only of direct impacts of infectious agents and toxicants (the usual veterinary medical approach), but also of their important indirect effects on other species and thus ecosystems. In addition, the program will provide a greater understanding of the impacts of habitat loss, altered predator prey relationships, and exotic species invasions. These stressors will be considered in concert with related environmental regulations, policies, and laws that influence the integrity of wildlife populations. Thus, Envirovet will develop a force of visionary young veterinarians to deal with the complexity of real-world, transdisciplinary environmental problems that threaten wildlife. Long-term, Envirovet will put more veterinarians into decision-making roles where they will effectively prioritize the problems and address the requirements of wildlife and the ecosystems on which their health and reproduction depend.
Envirovet will help provide wildlife specialists who understand the strengths and limitations of modern environmentally-relevant technologies, from geographic information systems to sophisticated electrophysiology and from analytical chemistry to ecological engineering. Moreover, it will help connect these areas of expertise to the methods of risk assessment/risk management and the broad area of environmental policy. The USA is a world leader in developing environmental technologies but it must become a much better role model for ecosystem management for the rest of the world. Envirovet will contribute to the vision and capabilities of young people who will work toward this aim.
By understanding the interdisciplinary context of environmental sciences and management, Envirovet participants will make more astute career plans and more rapidly contribute to ecological rehabilitation. Envirovet help reverse the negative impacts of modern western societies on ecosystems and wildlife populations, and thus hasten the time when human populations collectively become astute stewards of ecosystems and the wildlife species they support.
Where does the Envirovet course fit into the larger spectrum of innovative educational opportunities in veterinary medicine?
Envirovet uniquely complements other educational offerings currently available.
The Canadian veterinary schools have established an ecosystem health program that takes a subset of students enrolled in their four veterinary schools, as well as other students from the USA, into the field to deal with a specific problem. Their program rotates among the schools such that the regional emphasis varies from year to year. The course helps reorient students into an environmental management/ecosystem focus. Students of the Canadian program would clearly benefit from Envirovet and vice-versa. Unlike the Canadian program, Envirovet educates students from schools throughout the world, including persons with DVM or equivalent degrees, many of whom are enrolled in advanced degree programs.
There are conventional graduate programs in veterinary toxicology at a number of U.S. veterinary colleges, such as the University of Illinois, Texas A & M, the University of California-Davis, and Iowa State University. These toxicology programs educate individuals who most often find careers in industry investigating the safety of foods, drugs, pesticides and other chemicals; in veterinary diagnostic laboratories where they focus largely on the food animal industry and small animal practice; and/or doing research in veterinary and medical schools teaching basic (molecular) toxicology or clinical veterinary toxicology. Veterinarians from conventional toxicology programs who participate in Envirovet are much more likely to choose educational, research, and regulatory positions that provide them with the opportunity to address wildlife and environmental issues on a daily basis.
There are a limited number of established graduate programs in wildlife diseases at veterinary schools, such as the University of Georgia and the University of California-Davis. Also, there is an exciting program on wildlife health in an international context at Tufts University. Such programs in wildlife health/disease develop expertise needed in diagnostic medicine, basic research, and epidemiology, most often with an emphasis on specific infectious and parasitic diseases. Envirovet Summer Institute breaks new ground by helping wildlife specialists, gain more understanding in the areas of regulatory practice, ecological risk assessment/management, and genetics of wildlife conservation, societal forces that influence wildlife and ecosystem health, and long-range planning for shared benefits in wildlife population health, public health and regional economies.
How does Envirovet change those who participate?
Many young people enter veterinary medicine because of their concerns for wildlife, but most of these individuals wind up settling on a job in companion animal practice. Generally, they encounter few opportunities to interact with veterinarians and other scientists skilled in ecology, risk reduction, conservation biology, environmental law or ecological rehabilitation. Such jobs wind up going to non-veterinarians who lack a detailed understanding of the potential health problems of wildlife. Until more veterinary students and young veterinarians have ample opportunities to become acquainted with the ecological and policy context of wildlife biology and management, they will continue to fail to recognize and apply for the many career paths open to them. By contrast, Envirovet participants understand the value of coupling their veterinary expertise with the capabilities of other professions (via additional education, as well as through collaborations) to restore wildlife populations and ecological integrity.
Envirovet builds upon the participants' need for both a mission and a career development/survival strategy. Because the faculty includes environmental specialists in industry, government, non-governmental organizations, academia, and consultancies, the participants gain a range of perspectives and role models. They begin to understand the ways that solutions to wildlife problems can reside within industries, through government programs, within non-governmental organizations, or through an academic career, teaching others about environmental problems and doing wildlife research. Envirovet helps participants match their personalities, aims, and resources to an educational plan and subsequent career that are truly workable for them.
Sometimes, society in general and veterinary schools in particular seem to send the message that human needs must always take precedence over animal needs. As a consequence, even the human need for appreciation of the wonders of other life forms is inadvertently demeaned. Envirovet reinforces the notion that it is wise and prudent for veterinarians to be concerned for, and to immerse their careers in, the problems of wildlife populations. The program directors convey the concept that veterinarians, like members of the medical profession, should be reasoned advocates for individuals under their care, and they should use good science to ensure increasingly successful wildlife programs over time.
What is your aim in offering the Envirovet course?
The long-range goal of Envirovet is to work toward a time when there are margins of safety in place for ecological function and wildlife health. Envirovet is intended to increase the numbers of veterinarians focused on environmental problems, and to enhance their effectiveness. We expect that participants in the course will: i) assume significant responsibility for a given wildlife species or species group; ii) assume major responsibilities for the well-being of wildlife in a given watershed, coastal area, forest, desert, agricultural region, or urban area; iii) become researchers studying the toxicologic, microbial, parasitic, nutritional orgenetic diseases of wildlife at the molecular, cellular, organ, organism, or population level; iv) become practitioners and researchers at the interface of wildlife and public health; v) apply an ecosystem health paradigm to fields as diverse as ecological economics, ecological engineering, and political science. Envirovet provides an understanding of the role of "bridge scientists" who can collaborate with others to apply needed forms of disciplinary expertise to overcome environmental problems. For example, among faculty of the Envirovet program are scientists who lead regional remedial action plans that coordinate ecosystem restoration efforts involving political, governmental, business, and university leaders. Through these efforts and through mentorship and networking, the Envirovet program helps create politically aware leaders capable of applying scientifically astute solutions to current and merging environmental problems.
Envirovet has an additional payoff: it reinvigorates and generates new thinking as well as vision in the faculty, including those from academia, industry, and government. Indeed, the faculty generally relish the opportunity to interact with the motivated Envirovet students and with one another.
How do the Envirovet Directors view the state of the world's wildlife and how Envirovet's existence contributes to solutions?
The world's wildlife populations are threatened as never before in recorded history. A major reason for this is the lack of mechanisms and personnel to anticipate, prevent, and overcome the adverse effects of modern societies on ecosystems and wildlife. Envirovet will provide society with a nucleus of young veterinarians who are educated about these issues and who understand how to develop transdisciplinary programs of research and intervention to create a brighter future. They will know people able to contribute different pieces to the environmental puzzle. The will have the skills required to work in, and with, industry, government, and academic as well as non-governmental organizations to effect positive change. Ultimately, a number of Envirovet graduates will play leadership roles in moving society toward long-term preventive medicine approaches that protect wildlife health and ecological function/services.

The Osceola Mill
Located Between Historic
Lexington and Staunton Virginia
Water powered mills were very
important to the Shenandoah Valley during the 1800s. Significant drops in
stream elevation made for ideal conditions. The Osceola is one of seven
mills on the Marl Creek. Only two remain standing, The McCormick Farm Mill on
the upper part of Marl Creek and the Osceola Mill on the lower. Both mills
were part of the McCormick estate. The Osceola Mill, named for the indian
chief by McCormick, remains structurally intact with massive hand hewn chestnut
beams. The Fritz water wheel as seen above, is thought to have replaced
the original wooden wheel. The Osceola Mill operated as a working mill
until 1969 by the Brubaker family, and provided stone ground products for sale.
Hurricane Camille ended its long history as a working mill in 1969. The
Mill was then renovated into a home and later an Inn. Many of the original
mill works still remain, including the massive overshot waterwheel. The
Daly's hope to have the wheel turning again soon.

While the candidates for Congress from the 6th District participating in Go Out Loud�s Equality Forum Friday, June 20 in Salem surely have their differences, there is one issue they agree upon: advancing lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender civil rights.
Nonetheless, the forum�perhaps�provided some with�insight into whose leadership style might best advance LGBT causes in Congress.
The hour-long forum inside the Hawthorne Hotel provided five candidates � Democrats Congressman John Tierney, Seth Moulton, Marisa Defranco and John Devine, and openly gay Republican Richard Tisei � with a platform to plug their pro-LGBT work and make the argument that he or she is the best candidate to move equality causes forward.
Boston Spirit magazine�s David Zimmerman moderated.
Calling himself a �trailblazer� in his last congressional bid, Tisei would be the first openly gay congressman in his party if elected, a title he believes would give him political clout like former congressman Barney Frank possessed, only on the opposite end of the ideological spectrum.
�We�re never going to have true equality unless we have people on both political parties willing to stand up for what�s right,� Tisei said. He could be a catalyst to bring his party�s positions on LGBT issues into the 21st century, he said.
Tierney expressed an unequivocal skepticism that equality bills could be navigated through the House if it is controlled by Republicans after November�s midterm elections.
�This current majority is not getting things done, and they�re not going to,� the congressman said. �The reality is anybody who tells you they�re going to become a part of the majority and change those minds and change their agenda, it�s not going to happen.�
Tisei argued, however, the best way to win people over would be to �engage and reach out to opponents rather than attack and vilify" them.
Tierney has said the other candidates are naive as to the culture and how business gets done in Washington, which would render them ineffective.
The LGBT community saw two major victories with legislation passed between 2007 and 2010, when Democrats controlled both congressional chambers � the Matthew Shepard Act of 2009 and the Don�t Ask, Don�t Tell Repeal Act of 2010 � both of which Tierney's votes supported.
Since they gained House control in 2011, Republicans have yet to place one civil-rights bill on the House floor under Speaker John Boehner�s leadership, speakers noted.
While Congress� action on LGBT legislation has ground to a halt, the Supreme Court last year struck down Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act of 1996, which now affords same-sex couples an ability to enjoy federal benefits that had previously been exclusively afforded to opposite-sex couples.
However, the high court left intact Section 2 of DOMA, which specifically permits states to disregard same-sex marriages granted in other states.
Candidates pledged to work toward repealing altogether what they believed to be a discriminatory law, pointing to the Marriage Equality Act as a conduit to do so, while noting that state and federal courts may act first.
Devine made perhaps the biggest commitment on this front, saying he�d craft and then pass new legislation on marriage equality in his first term.
�DOMA needs to be repealed,� he said. �A Marriage Fairness Act should be crafted and passed to provide [same-sex marriage] reciprocity across the states.�
As an immigration lawyer, firebrand Defranco said she has been�fighting in the trenches to help LGBT immigrants fleeing their �gay-hating� countries and facing hostile work environments.
She touted an award she earned after she devoted over 400 pro-bono hours representing a deaf gay man from Uganda.
�Talk about hostility. It was incredibly awful from the state, federal to non-profit levels,� she said. �I had to get in their face and be loud to make sure he didn�t get sent to his home country.�
Had he been deported, he would have certainly faced prosecution or possibly death, she noted. Wit, grit and determination are coming with her to Washington, Defranco said.
Seth Moulton compared and contrasted the privilege the law provides to him but not his gay brother, noting he doesn�t have to worry about losing his job and can marry whomever he loves anywhere in the United States.
�So, despite all the progress we�ve made, we�re not equal, and that�s wrong,� Moulton said.
Moulton said that while he was a Marine, he spoke up to have Don�t Ask, Don�t Tell repealed, even when doing so was unpopular.
�I know what it�s like to be in the minority,� he said, adding that he could bring that independent spirit of leadership to Washington.
Moulton jabbed Tierney for his lack of being a lead sponsor, rather a co-sponsor, on substantive bills during his nine-term tenure.
�I�m not going to go to Congress and be a congressman who talks about bills I co-sponsor,� he said. �Co-sponsoring is easy. It�s like liking a post on Facebook. It�s a nice gesture. You�re on the right side, but it doesn�t do anything to get the bill passed. �
Candidates also touched on creating legal protections for LGBT people in the workplace, laws that would allocate funding to address an epidemic of homelessness among LGBT youth and immigration policies for binational LGBT couples.
�There is no way this Republican majority under its current leadership is going to move forward on any of these issues,� Tierney remarked when closing the event. �If we want to be serious, we have to change dynamics.�
Tierney argued that voters should not be na�ve and think that the person voters send to Washington in November can change those dynamics, he cautioned.
Friday�s forum was the biggest political event Go Out Loud has organized since providing then-outgoing congressman Frank with a platform to endorse Tierney inside Salem�s Victoria�s Station two years ago.
Support pledged for LGBT issues

Should Movie Poster Tag Lines Be Transformed/
"Earth. It Was Fun While It Lasted." Armegeddon's tag line sticks with me, because I instinctively substitute "Earth" for "Indie Film" when I read it. In these days of RampantFilmBizChange, everything is ripe for reconsideration. MCN hipped me to AdWeek's collection of "66 Great Movie Taglines". Sure the list gets a smile regularly from me, but I walk away deadened and jaded. The sell is obvious. The dominant clever factor feels like a child beauty pagents' related icky. "Look at me! Look at me! Give me a trophy! Now!!!". Get me outta there.
Can't we do better? Or at least do different? What once was called "Indie" has never been proud enough of it's differences. Isn't now the time -- this the age of absolutely no acquisition market that makes much sense for the majority of work -- to stop the sell and instead embrace the collaboration? Or the participation. Or something else entirely different.
A good number of "Indies" show up on Adweek's list. For me it is clear articulation of the past. We have moved on. That is not our culture anymore. Okay, it's not the only culture anymore. Yet it feels to me, the creative community is still living in the past. We have to move forward. Move further. And soon.
What thoughts do you have on how we could innovate this process? How can we bring taglines inside the narrative? How do we make them about the experience, about the process, about something more than sounding clever and hip?

A winner was selected from 777 designs submitted by 143 freelance designers.
Graceway Media
Over 5 thousand churches worldwide have subscribed to Graceway Media and downloaded more than 1 million media files in an effort to present compelling visuals to a media-driven generation, with the ultimate goal of magnifying the message of Jesus Christ.
Pastors and church staff. They are used to old and boring design. I want something cool for them to identify with.
The main thing I am trying to accomplish with this logo is to combine the idea of: Christian & Media.
The logo need to be High Quality and High Resolution
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Icon ideas are:
1. I am looking for a cool looking path that leads to a cross. It could also look like it is being projected. Something simple and clean. It could also look like a walk way.
I want a simple and clean icon. I would love to somehow show the idea of media and christian in one icon. Also, I would not mind seeing some cool 3D stuff too.
I am really looking for a lot of creativity. I will need the logo in full color, and white and black version.
I have attached a color scheme that I would like used. Also I am attaching some logos that I really like. Some are more complex but overall this is the level of professionalism I am looking for.
Thanks for your hard work!

So first you dump the entire container (1 liter) of coconut water into a glass jar. Make sure the coconut water and the jar are room temperature.
Next, add in the powder from two probiotic capsules
|This could totally be in a photography gallery! I've never seen such a professional looking picture of pills....
Be sure that your probiotic capsules contain "lactobacillus acidophilus" bacteria.
Stir in the powder and screw on the jar lid tightly. Place in a warm environment for 1 1/2 - 2 days and make sure it's warm, I tried just putting it on the counter and it didn't work (I ended up putting it on a heat register with a towel over it to keep the heat in). You will know it's ready when it becomes significantly cloudy.
Store in the refrigerator and enjoy with meals to aid digestion and get a hefty dose of probiotics!
|Drink up me hearty yo ho!....
The boxed coconut water is not as "fresh" so the kefir will be a more yellow-y colour (it was even yellow-ish in the beginning), but it's just as fizzy in my opinion! You'll know it's done when it tastes like beer and no longer contains the subtle sweetness coconut water is famous for.
This is such a powerful drink! Click HERE to read all the amazing benefits of coconut kefir!

You as a patient must put your trust into the hands of a surgeon who has your best intentions in mind. If Dr. Kagan does not think you need a procedure or that a procedure will not give you a significant improvement he will tell you. In fact, Dr. Kagan routinely turns away about 25% of patients. Dr. Kagan will always give you an honest opinion about your condition and the best options for personalized treatment. All of our surgery patients get Dr. Kagan's personal cell phone number so that they can get a hold of him ASAP if needed - any day, any time. We look at the relationship with every patient as a mutually beneficial long-term commitment.
Dr. Kagan's experience, reputation and commitment to excellence have earned him national recognition as one of the top eye and aesthetic surgeons in the United States. He is only one of a few physicians in the USA who is a Board Certified Ophthalmologist and has extra subspecialty training in corneal and refractive surgery as well as ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery. That is why Dr. Kagan is one of a few physicians in LA who can offer a full spectrum of advanced vision correction and facial plastic and aesthetic surgery.
Dr. Kagan is committed to exceeding every patient's expectation through state of the art technology and innovation. Every two to three months Dr. Kagan travels nationally and internationally to professional meetings and teaches courses on refractive and aesthetic surgery to keep on the cutting edge of modern technologies so as to bring the most up to date and the most innovative procedures to all the patients.

Thinking of LASIK and reducing your dependency on glasses and contact lenses? Wouldn't it be great to wake up in the morning and not have to worry about those annoying contacts or glasses?
ICLs work with the eye to correct high levels of nearsightedness and farsightedness (greater than 6 dioptores) and is great for people who wants a procedure beyond what LASIK and PRK can offer. The procedure is performed in an outpatient setting and, typically, one eye at a time is corrected.
Extensive research and development preceded the introduction of Visian ICL. It has been successfully implanted in over 55,000 eyes worldwide. The satisfaction rate among patients is extremely high - above 99% (FDA US Clinical Trial). Visian ICL provides excellent and stable outcomes.
A cataract is a natural aging change of the eye that happens to everyone sooner or later. Most people develop cataracts sometime in their late 50's and 60's.It is a clouding of the natural crystalline lens inside the eye. No drops or medical treatments can prevent a cataract. Since the clouding of the lens occurs slowly most people don't even notice that their vision has been severely affected. Most cataracts decrease vision by making it difficult for people to read, watch television, drive, especially at night, some say that they feel like they are looking through a cloudy window or a fog.
More than 20.5 million Americans are currently affected by cataracts. Now new technology provides alternatives for thick glasses! Dr. Kagan routinely extracts clouded lenses and replaces them with new synthetic ones called intraocular lenses, or IOLs.
If you are between 45 and 65 years old and are tired of your annoying reading glasses you now have a simple and effective non laser treatment that may reduce or eliminate your need for reading glasses or bifocals!
Your eyes say a lot about you. They are as they say "the windows to your soul". As we get older the skin starts to droop over our eyes and we start to look tired and old. An eyelift can rejuvenate your eyes and bring back the youthful glow that you once enjoyed.
Restylane, Juvederm, Radiesse which one is right for you?
There are so many fillers available to reduce and eliminate lines and wrinkles on your face and plump up your cheeks, chin and lips. But which one is best for you? It is extremely important to utilize the right filler in the right area of your face for best results.
The evolution of the wrinkle filler has led to an amazingly effective product called Sculptra. But Sculptra is not a wrinkle filler, it's a volumizer. It replaces the natural volume (fat) loss that occurs as we age - the volume loss that is responsible for the appearance of age.
If you are looking for a fast affordable way to look fabulous quickly there is nothing more effective than to have a Botox or Dysport treatment to reduce those wrinkles on your forehead, frown lines, crowsfeet and your eyes
Have you ever lifted up your face in front of a mirror and wish it would stay there? Today there are several excellent options for a facial rejuvenation without the unsightly scars around your ears and long painful recovery. Find out about the exciting no-scar face lift – Silhouette Lift or the minimally invasive S-Lift which can get you looking years younger.
Nothing is beautiful as soft, smooth, healthy skin. Unfortunately, our skin is subject to numerous experiences that leave it less than perfect. Time, heredity and gravity all do their part to create fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the mouth and eyes.

Today is Thursday, Feb. 16, the 47th day of 2006 with 318 to follow.
The moon is waning. The morning stars are Neptune, Jupiter, Pluto and Venus. The evening stars are Mars, Saturn, Uranus and Mercury.
Those born on this date are under the sign of Aquarius. They include historian Henry Brooks Adams in 1838; orchestra leader Wayne King and actor Chester Morris, both in 1901; ventriloquist Edgar Bergen in 1903; singer Patti Andrews of the Andrews Sisters in 1920 (age 86); Rep.

On this date in history:
In 1923, archaeologists opened the treasure-laden tomb of Tutankhamen, "King Tut," in Egypt's Valley of the Kings.
In 1933, a patent for the synthetic fiber nylon was awarded to the DuPont Co.
In 1959, Fidel Castro was sworn in as Cuba's leader.

In 1990, former President Reagan provided videotaped testimony for the Iran-Contra trial of former National Security Adviser John Poindexter.
In 1992, the chief of the Iranian-financed Hezbollah and two family members were killed in a bombing raid by Israel in an apparent retaliation for attacks against its soldiers.
Also in 1992, the Los Angeles Lakers retired the jersey number of "Magic" Johnson, who stepped down after contracting the AIDS virus.
In 1999, Germany announced that $1.7 billion dollars would be set aside to compensate victims of the Holocaust.
Also in 1999, Northern Ireland's legislature approved the structure for a new executive government in the strife-torn province -- a major step toward implementing the 1998 Good Friday peace agreement.
In 2003, a massive storm hit the Northeastern United States resulting in record snowfall in several locations, including Boston which caught 27.5 inches.
Also in 2003, North Korea celebrated the 61st birthday of President Kim Jong Il with nationwide celebrations and a threat to "annihilate" the United States if it is attacked.
In 2004, a draft survey showed U.S. children accused more than 4,000 Catholic priests of sexual abuse in the years between 1950 and 2002.
In 2005, The National Hockey League canceled its entire season after a five-month lockout.
Also in 2005, a new survey said China had become the world's biggest consumer of agricultural and industrial goods, except for oil, in which the United States still had the lead.
A thought for the day: it was Steve Wozniak who said, "Never trust a computer you can't throw out a window."

London began the 20th century as the capital of the world's largest Empire and Britain's dominant city. One third of the entire trade of Great Britain passed through London's docks.
This decade was dominated by the First World War. Conflict broke out in 1914 and lasted for 4 years, much longer than anticipated.
London in the 1920s changed its mood. The lifting of war time restrictions in the early 1920s created new sorts of night-life in the West End. The capital began to feel less traditional and more modern.
London in the 1930s tried to be cleaner, more modern and efficient. The Capital's old problems were being tackled by new public bodies.
The 1940s was dominated by the second world war. London had first experienced aerial bombing during the first world war but this time bombs had a devastating effect.
The 1950s was a prosperous decade. Record quantities of imports and exports passed through London's docks. Skilled labour was now being actively recruited from Commonwealth countries.
During the 1960s London developed a new sense of itself. It became officially larger when its government was reorganised as 'Greater London'. It also got a new image as the capital of youth.
The 1970s was a traumatic decade for London. Changes in global trade disrupted all sectors of the economy. As docks and factories closed, so inner city London developed a landscape of dereliction and decay.
Many of the tensions of the 1970s continued into the 1980s. The 1980s also saw new reasons for optimism about London's future. After reaching its lowest point in 1983 London's population began to rise again.
The 1990s saw a new mood of optimism in London. The capital began to think of itself as truly global. It grew relaxed with its multicultural population and proud of its creative buzz.

Two recent gifts will expand the special collections housed in SMU's Jake and Nancy Hamon Arts Library. A gift of personal materials from the estate of Dallas philanthropist and arts patron Nancy Hamon includes $1 million to endow, preserve and exhibit the collection. In addition, a planned estate gift of movie archives valued at $1.5 million has been made by film historian and collector Jeff Gordon.
Members of the public and the SMU community will receive a preview of the Gordon collection through "Linda Darnell from Dallas to Hollywood: Selections from the Jeff Gordon Collection." The exhibition will be on view through May 17, 2013 in the Hawn Gallery, Hamon Arts Library. A preview reception at 6 p.m. Friday, Feb. 8, will be followed by a lecture by Jeff Gordon at 7 p.m. in the Hamon Arts Library. RSVP online at smu.edu/friends or by calling 214-768-3225.
Although the entire collection will not be transferred to SMU until a future date, Gordon is curating the Linda Darnell exhibition as a sneak preview of his collection. The show will include posters, photographs and materials from recently acquired scrapbooks of Darnell, a Dallas native who grew up in Oak Cliff and became a major movie star in the 1940s. She starred in cinema classics such as My Darling Clementine, The Mark of Zorro and A Letter to Three Wives with leading men including Tyrone Power, Henry Fonda, Kirk Douglas and Robert Mitchum. Her career peaked with Forever Amber in 1947. She later appeared on television and stage before her tragic death in a house fire in 1965.
Nancy Hamon, who died in 2011, provided $5 million in 1988 to establish the Hamon Arts Library at SMU, which opened in 1990. A branch of SMU's Central University Libraries, it houses materials relevant to the visual, performing and communication arts in support of Meadows School of the Arts. Its archives include the G. William Jones Film and Video Collection, which will house the Gordon Collection, and the Jerry Bywaters Special Collections, where the Hamon materials are located.
"These two new collections will greatly enrich and broaden the holdings of the Hamon Arts Library," said Gillian McCombs, dean and director of SMU's Central University Libraries. "The Gordon gift will significantly increase our ability to support teaching and research in American film. And the Hamon Collection will draw researchers interested in Dallas history and the cultural history of the Southwest."
The Gordon collection bequeathed to SMU includes hundreds of original movie posters, over 1,000 other film-related advertising materials, more than 15,000 35-millimeter slides of movie memorabilia (some of which have already been delivered to SMU), several thousand original movie photos, a 16-millimeter film collection with more than 200 features, more than 20 Warner Bros. cartoons, 100 television programs and a large group of Elvis Presley materials. The Gordon archives focus primarily on movies made from the 1930s to the 1970s.
The Hamon materials include photograph albums, diaries, records of Nancy Hamon's elaborate theme parties in the 1950s and '60s, memorabilia, personal correspondence with seven U.S. presidents and other prominent leaders, and materials related to her husband's long career in the oil business. Among highlights of the collection are photos of the Hamons' trip to China with George H.W. and Barbara Bush in the 1970s.
In 2013, as part of its Second Century Celebration, SMU will commemorate The Year of the Library — the 100th anniversary of the University's library collections, which began to be acquired in 1913. In addition to marking historic milestones, the commemoration will recognize new commitments to update and expand the campus libraries. New gifts such as the Gordon and Hamon collections count toward Second Century Campaign goals, which include new investments for library facilities, endowments for acquisitions and library staff positions, and expansion of special collections.

U.S. Environmental Policy: Where is it Headed? / Dim Vision
U.S. Environmental Policy: Where is it Headed?
So far, the Bush administration has begun to redirect policies on international family planning, climate stabilization, renewable energy R&D, wilderness protection, endangered species protection, air and water quality standards, nuclear waste clean-up, environmental law enforcement, mining regulations, worker injury compensation, community right-to-know initiatives, drinking water standards, and food safety procedures. And that was just the first four months. World Watch presents a timeline of the administration's emerging environmental agenda.On March 27, 2001, Christine Todd Whitman, head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), announced that the United States, which is responsible for 25 percent of the world's carbon dioxide emissions, has "no interest" in the Kyoto Protocol. Despite a deluge of scientific reports linking human actions to climate destabilization, Whitman said that the new administration did not plan to endorse the Protocol, which was negotiated (with U.S. participation) in 1997 as a part of the Framework Convention on Climate Change, and which is intended to curb national carbon emissions.
International reaction was swift and highly unfavorable. French President Jacques Chirac asked, "how can we affirm the right of a protected and preserved environment to future generations" at a time of "global warming and of a disturbing unacceptable challenge to the Kyoto Protocol?" The Chinese Foreign Ministry issued a statement calling the U.S. about-face on Kyoto "irresponsible." Even the strongest traditional ally of the United States, the United Kingdom, criticized the decision to scrap Kyoto. British Environment Minister Michael Meacher said that global warming "is the most dangerous and fearful challenge to humanity over the next 100 years" and that Bush's decision was therefore "extremely serious."
In May, Vice President Dick Cheney unveiled the administration's new energy strategy, which calls for the construction of almost 2,000 additional coal-fired power plants over the next 20 years-or an average of more than one new power plant every week for that period. Cheney is a former CEO of the Halliburton Company, one of the world's largest energy firms, and now heads the administration's energy task force. President Bush is himself a former oil man. (For an overview of the Bush cabinet's corporate connections, see page 20.)
"Without a clear, coherent energy strategy," says Cheney, "all Americans could one day go through [the occasional rolling blackout] that Californians are experiencing now, or worse." In order to promote its supply-side thrust, the strategy would ease the regulations governing powerplant construction, as well as federal air pollution standards. The strategy would also promote the construction of additional nuclear powerplants. But its most controversial element has been its emphasis on expanded drilling: Cheney's recommendations include drilling for oil and natural gas in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and drilling for oil off the Florida panhandle in the Gulf of Mexico. Both of these areas are of great biological value.
Despite Cheney's call for a coherent energy strategy, the administration's budget for next year will cut federal spending on energy conservation and alternative energy programs. In April, Cheney himself told an audience of editors and reporters at the Associated Press's annual meeting that he believes "conservation might be a sign of personal virtue, but it is not a sufficient basis-all by itself-for a sound coherent energy policy."
One week later, the country's top five national laboratories, including the Berkeley National Lab in California, released a report outlining an efficiency program that could reduce the country's electricity demand by 20 to 47 percent. The study found that government office buildings could cut their own power use by one-fifth by adopting conservation measures, at no cost to taxpayers.
Following Cheney's lead, President Bush is also promoting the new energy strategy as a necessary fix to a shortage of supply. Bush argues that "every American must realize we are in an energy crisis." But this crisis is difficult to locate: taking inflation into account, the cost of oil in the United States is 41 percent lower today than it was in 1980, in the wake of the oil shortages of the 1970s. And the problems in California (which the administration has repeatedly pointed to as the harbinger of national energy troubles) have more to do with botched deregulation than with fuel shortages. California's decision to open up its electricity markets to half-hearted competition forced utilities to vie for tight supplies of natural gas without being able to charge consumers for the growing expense. That has pushed Southern California Edison close to bankruptcy, and sent Pacific Gas and Electricity over the edge.
The administration's energy strategy appears to be representative of its approach to environmental issues in general. During its first four months in office, the Bush administration has discarded or delayed more than 20 environmental initiatives. It halted the implementation of new EPA limits on arsenic in drinking water. It modified a Clinton administration ban on road building in roughly 24 million hectares (60 million acres) of national forests-a change that could open up substantial tracts of relatively undisturbed wilderness to the mining and timber industries. Its 2002 budget reduces funding-by more than $8 billion-for environmental law enforcement, nuclear site clean-up, water quality assessments, energy efficiency, endangered species protection, research programs at the EPA, and a variety of other environmental and social safeguards. If these policies prevail in their current forms, the administration's environmental agenda could become one of its most lasting legacies-one that may command the attention (if not the approval) of the world community for many decades to come. On the following pages is a day-by-day account of the administration's emerging environmental agenda.

Ok, so we've seen stereos that can stream tunes from the Net before, but Onkyo's BR-NX10 is the first I've seen that lets you buy online music. There's a catch though. It appears you can only buy from Sony's AnyMusic store. If that doesn't bug you, then the stereo has an 80GB drive (no word on if it's upgradeable) and can also rip tunes from a CD or your MP3 player. The downloading part is done via an Ethernet Internet connection and you can browse through selections via the massive LCD. If not for the restricted music store tie-in, I'd be curious to get one. It'll go for $780 next month (not including the speakers).

Politics & Government
Four decades ago, Watergate sank a presidency
EDITOR'S NOTE: It was 40 years ago that Richard M. Nixon became the only president of the United States to resign. Historians cite the relentless coverage of the Watergate scandal by The Washington Post as the catalyst for that event. Harry Rosenfeld, now editor-at-large of the Albany Times Union, was at that time overseeing that coverage as assistant managing editor of the Post.
• • •
In those days – was that really more than four decades ago? – I was immersed in the unfolding Watergate investigation. While the tide of serial incrimination rose, eventually sinking the presidency of Richard Nixon, any idea that he could be forced to resign or be impeached was far from my mind.
As the editor in charge of the daily investigative coverage of that scandal, increasingly revealed by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, reporters on the local news staff, it was an uppermost concern of mine not to massage the message. Our newspaper, The Washington Post, led in discovering the breadth and depth of the wrongdoings of Watergate. From the first, the White House counterattacked, deriding our extensive coverage the Watergate break-in as overkill involving nothing more than"a third-rate burglary."
That was only the opening salvo of a relentless attack from the Republicans in the White House, the Congress and the party organization and its well-connected faithful. We were denounced as a notoriously liberal newspaper, beholden to the Democrats and enlisted as their partisan attack dog. Moreover, the whole world – at least the insiders that resided in the District of Columbia and environs – knew that our charismatic executive editor, Ben Bradlee, had been a very close friend, a veritable buddy, of President John Kennedy, who beat Nixon for the job the first time he ran in 1960.
So I felt it necessary, as our team uncovered the layered illegal schemes of the Nixon White House, that we do nothing to provide fodder for the vilification campaign that was studded with artful non-denial denials. Their technique was to discredit an article by refuting an assertion that the story did not make. I had to make as sure as any editor overlooking reporters' work is able that personal prepossession and political or cultural disdain did not infect the quality of our groundbreaking reporting – in short, that we were not finding the facts we were disposed to find and ignoring contravening ones. After all, for a long time, we were out there alone, which was another argument that we were partisan: Nobody else thought anything that weighty was going on.
We were taking it one step at a time, getting closer and closer to the top man. The first time impeachment came up was when I was interviewed by a Japanese television correspondent who asked what I thought the chances were of that happening. I batted the question away because I did not want to say anything that might suggest our coverage had an agenda.
Some time later, after Nixon's vice president, Spiro Agnew, resigned over bribes he had taken for favors delivered while Maryland governor (at heart, they were really a scurvy bunch), I lunched with a close friend who was not in the news trade. He was a mover and shaker, and asked me whether I thought Nixon would be removed."No way," I said. In my assessment, the American people would never sit still for both their elected president and vice president being ejected from office. Even accumulating evidence of serious wrongdoing, accompanied by the tightening of the circled wagons around the White House, wasn't enough. When it comes to dislodging a president, in my opinion, inferences wouldn't suffice. You would need crystal-clear evidence far beyond the conventional reasonable doubt.
That's why almost to the end, the impeachment of Nixon was chancy. It wasn't even a lively possibility after a congressional committee had received written testimony from the No. 2 CIA man that Nixon had ordered it to squelch the probe into the Watergate burglary. Sen. Barry Goldwater stood tall and unwavering on behalf of the president – and kept the Republicans pretty much in line – until late in the day. But when the Supreme Court ordered Nixon to turn over the tapes, including"the smoking gun" tape that he had been clinging to for his political life, the game was over. With Republican support, impeachment was assured. So Nixon resigned.
Nixon survived his epic disgrace in fine style. He never lacked for food on his table, wine in his glass, a roof over his head with his Oxfords surely highly polished. His picked successor, Gerald Ford, quickly pardoned him. This was probably the right thing to do for the good of the country. Except that Nixon never, ever, admitted to his crimes and misdemeanors.
Absent that acknowledgment, he did not deserve a pardon. One is pardoned because of a wrongful conviction or for having 'fessed up and mended one's miscreant ways. His behavior forever stands as a caveat against the arrogance of power and its myriad abuses.

(AP) — The Illinois Senate has approved a measure that would create a state-governed "insurance exchange" so individuals and small businesses can shop for health care coverage as required by President Obama's health law.
Lawmakers voted Thursday 37-19 to send the House a bill establishing the Illinois Health Insurance Marketplace.
The exchange will guide people through the purchase of health and dental plans. It will also help qualified businesses enroll employees in health insurance plans.
The Affordable Care Act requires that nearly all Americans have health insurance beginning in 2014 or pay a penalty. New marketplaces are scheduled to be operating by October.
Illinois will begin an exchange this year through a federal partnership. Gov. Pat Quinn hopes to establish a state-run marketplace for 2015.

Cain confronts more allegations
Herman Cain sought to refocus on policy Wednesday but his plan quickly went out the window as the day brought a series of new allegations about inappropriate behavior.
The Associated Press reported Wednesday that a third woman experienced behavior by Cain that made her uncomfortable and considered filing a complaint but ultimately did not.
Story Continued Below
That report, coupled with the revelation from veteran Republican pollster and former National Restaurant Association employee Chris Wilson that Cain sexually harassed a woman at an Arlington, Va., restaurant in the late 1990s, quickly overcame Cain's efforts to keep the day limited to discussions of health care policy.
Wilson, now the principal of an Oklahoma-based GOP consulting firm, told Oklahoma City's KTOK radio station that the episode took place in the neighborhood where Cain kept an apartment when he headed the restaurant trade group. Wilson declined to say specifically what Cain said or did to the woman, but said that the CEO's actions made other individuals at the table uneasy.
"It was very uncomfortable," the pollster told POLITICO, recalling that other individuals present asked Cain to stop.
Wilson is a Rick Perry supporter and does polling for a super PAC that supports the Texas governor's presidential bid.
Steve Deace, an influential conservative talk radio host who hosts a nationally syndicated show in Des Moines, Iowa, also accused Cain of saying "awkward" and "inappropriate" things to his staff.
The Cain campaign responded forcefully, accusing the Perry campaign of orchestrating the allegations. In an interview with Forbes, Cain accused another Perry supporter, Curt Anderson, of leaking the damaging revelations of the original accusations. Anderson, a consultant on Cain's losing 2004 Senate bid, swiftly denied that charge.
"I'd never heard any of these allegations until I read them in POLITICO, nor does anything I read in the press change my opinion that Herman is an upstanding man and a gentleman," Anderson told POLITICO.
But Cain repeated the charge in a tele-town hall event with TheTeaParty.net. "We've been able to trace it back to the Perry campaign that stirred this up in order to discredit me. … Members of his campaign have direct ties with POLITICO, members of his campaign, people that are supporting him have made erroneous claims against me," he said.
Mark Block, Cain's campaign manager, told Fox News, "Both Rick Perry and POLITICO did the wrong thing by reporting something that wasn't true."
In another development, the National Restaurant Association released a statement Wednesday indicating it has been in contact with the attorney for another of Cain's accusers, who was considering speaking out if she could negotiate a release from an earlier confidentiality agreement.
"Attorney Joel Bennett contacted the National Restaurant Association this morning. An association representative promptly returned his call and asked Mr. Bennett to contact the association's outside counsel. Mr. Bennett indicated that he would do so tomorrow, after he met with his client," said Sue Hensley, senior vice president for the National Restaurant Association.

Annapolis, Maryland, Baltimore, Maryland, Washington DC, Northern Virginia, and vicinity
Years ago, my family and I experienced head lice. I was frantic and called Lice Happens.
It has been said that a person won't remember the exact words spoken to them, only how those words made them feel. Since it has been awhile, I couldn't tell you exactly what the voice on the other end of the phone said to me at that moment, but I do remember feeling a lot less frantic and I knew I was in good hands.
Fast forward to a few years later-The opportunity presented itself to work for this incredible company as their Executive Assistant. I love that I am in a position to be that voice on the other end of the line to someone in need and only hope to give back some of what I received a few years ago.

Cole Statement on Failure of Farm Bill
Washington, D.C. – Congressman Tom Cole (OK-04) released the following statement after the House voted on H.R. 1947, the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management (FARRM) Act of 2013. The bill was defeated on the House floor by a vote of 195-234 on Thursday. Cole supported the bill that was introduced by fellow Oklahoman and Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas (OK-03).
Passage of FARRM would have saved taxpayers $40 billion by streamlining or eliminating more than 100 programs administered by the USDA, including direct payments to farmers.
"I am disappointed that the House failed to vote in favor of this vital piece of legislation and prevented needed reform to agriculture programs and spending," said Cole. "Chairman Lucas along with members of the House Committee on Agriculture worked tirelessly over the last four years to produce a bill that makes significant reductions to spending while protecting necessary programs. After more than 40 hearings and even a two-year audit of every program, there is no excuse for this failure.
"This bill laid out $40 billion in budget savings, which is more than any other committee has offered yet. Due to this unfortunate failure, savings will only amount to the $6 billion already set to take effect from sequestration.
"I commend Chairman Lucas for directing this piece of legislation, reviewing numerous programs and recommending necessary yet difficult funding cuts. Yesterday's vote represents a missed opportunity for my House colleagues, the Americans we all represent and the road to economic recovery. This result is inexcusable."

Thailand-based filmmaker Tom Waller will direct the story of Thailand's last prison executioner, Chavoret Jaruboon in feature film Chavoret: The Last Executioner.
Vithaya Pansringarm, who appears in Nicolas Winding Refn's Only God Forgives, plays Chavoret as an older man. A younger actor will play the younger Chavoret, who was a rock and roll guitar player entertaining GIs during the Vietnam War before he started working for the prison service.
Don Linder wrote the screenplay based on interviews with Chavoret himself and his family and friends. The film will explore his struggle with the good and bad karma involved in the job. Jaruboon died in May 2012.
Waller will also produce alongside Michael Pritchett. Somboon Vichaisre and Oscar Kahar will associate produce.
The drama/biopic will start shooting in early 2013.
Pansringarm also worked with Waller on the award-winning Mindfulness and Murder.
Waller is attending this week's Asian FIlm Market in Busan to discuss the project.

Microsoft has filed for a patent that could potentially make driving a lot more like piloting a MechWarrior BattleMech. Imagine a windshield that displays what CD track you are listening to, the map, the weather, and perhaps where the nearest available parking space is.
United States Patent Application 20070194902 from Microsoft is thus titled "Adaptive Heads-Up User Interface for Automobiles." The patent app says that the heads-up display (HUD) could be used for a variety of tasks, or "elements," like displaying navigational information, information about a driver's health, speed of the car, and media such as iPods or CDs.
The patent also suggests that controls for a climate control system, communication system, and a general input device could also be integrated into the windshield UI environment. Each of these elements could be displayed in a "hidden state, collapsed state, preview state, and full-view state" similar to the way windows are displayed on a Vista taskbar.
While it may seem like the display would be a distraction to the driver, the patent's aim is to improve the driver's awareness of his or her surroundings by alerting the driver to information about road conditions or accidents up ahead. It is suggested that this would be a convenience and not a danger by allowing drivers to prepare for what's ahead without having to look down from the windshield to a dashboard. Further, the heads-up display could give information about the driver such as heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature, and it could purportedly detect "road rage" or an over-tired driver. There's no word on how the car or HUD would react to such conditions: would it alert the driver to wake up by blaring loud sirens or play calming jazz tracks as a form of anger management? Maybe queue up Dr. Phil?
This isn't the first time Microsoft has worked with automobiles or unusual interactive displays. In fact, there's already a Microsoft Windows Automotive platform that works to provide navigation, communication, entertainment, and information support to drivers. One such solution that will be released this fall called "Ford Sync" will allow users the ability to access and interact with media devices like iPods and cell phones with voice commands. In fact, SMS texting can even be done through voice commands with Ford Sync.
The patent is just the last sign that Microsoft is aggressively researching alternative user interfaces for everyday applications. Earlier this year Microsoft unveiled Windows Surface, a multi-touchscreen "table-like" computer.
Will we ever see this in use? Microsoft has had success finding partners for it automotive efforts, so it's a distinct possibility. Let's just hope it doesn't turn out to be like the navigation systems that are integrated into new autos these days. We're definitely not fans of needing to agree to a mini-EULA each time we start the car and want to use the system (also known as "Press OK if you agree not to stare at this while driving").

Object of Desire
New TV technologies crop up almost as often as new reality-TV shows, but among all the Celebrity Fear Factors, Obnoxious Bosses, and Strange Loves, there's only one American Idol - the kind of show that can save a network and bury the competition. Fox could air it every night and still have a large audience, but that would kill the anticipation and turn the screaming-teen joy into a commodity.
Is SXRD (Silicon Crystal Reflective Display) Sony's American Idol? The Japanese giant is positioning its newest HDTV technology as the best yet. And so far, the SXRD logo appears only on a $30,000 front projector and this $13,000 rear-projection TV (RPTV), the 70-inch Qualia 006.
SXRD is a variant of LCoS (liquid crystal on silicon) technology that numerous manufacturers - most recently Intel - have abandoned. The problem has been "poor yield": too many of the chips are flawed. Sony claims not only to have conquered this with SXRD but to have added a number of enhancements as well (for more on the technology, click to see "SXRD: Behind the Screen"). If it has indeed solved the yield problem, Sony should be able to begin producing chips cheaply enough to get the prices of SXRD sets in line with those using DLP (Digital Light Processing) and other technologies.
But until then, SXRD will command a serious premium. To put it in perspective, you can buy Sony's 70-inch KDF-70XBR950, an LCD rear-projection TV, for around $5,000. Whether SXRD is worth the price difference isn't the point. Shoppers in this bracket want something special, and the Qualia 006 definitely qualifies.
This much was obvious from the moment the 006 showed up at S&V 's test studio accompanied by a small entourage of Sony technical experts, who were there to brief us on the technology and bless the picture. Out of the box, the Qualia looked impressive. Every bit of the set's native resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels - well above the minimum for high-definition - seemed to be evident in the picture. But lots of displays fall apart when you start running test patterns and spend time looking critically at DVDs and high-def material. Could the Qualia 006 possibly live up to its price tag and the inevitable Sony hype? In short: could this really be the world's best standalone HDTV?

For a certain job interview, I gave myself a 6 in SQL and 8 in Statistics. I love math and probability but I always found significance testing and confidence intervals rather dry.
What is the difference between math, probability and statistics again? This is a soft question, but it should have a clear answer.

Before receiving one of the top environmental awards in the state Saturday, the man introducing Louisiana Wildlife Federation described him as "one of the giants of conservation."
Before receiving one of the top environmental awards in the state Saturday, the man introducing Louisiana Wildlife Federation described him as "one of the giants of conservation."
The Louisiana Wildlife Federation presented Walther, a state agriculture and forestry director, a chairman of the Louisiana Coastal Conservation Association and a Thibodaux resident, with its highest honor, the Governor's Award for Conservationist of the Year. He was recognized for his ability to get things done in the "daunting" realm of coastal restoration, master of ceremonies Rex Caffey said.
In his introduction, read by Caffey but compiled by members within the federation, Walther was recognized for his ability to successfully "navigate the complex processes of building conservation projects," such as 11 artificial reef projects that include ones in Terrebonne Parish and Grand Isle, the annual Derelict Crab Trap removal program and the installation of floating mats of native grasses, or floating islands, in extreme land-loss environments.
Walther has been a chairman for the Coastal Conservation Association's habitat and conservation committee since 2002, and his conservation association has recognized him in the past for being its volunteer of the year, Caffey said.
The selection for the Governor's Award was made by a panel of independent judges with expertise in a wide range of conservation fields, said Rebecca Triche, director of the Louisiana Wildlife Federation.
"The award focuses on achievement in 2012, but most of these folks (recognized Saturday) have been doing work for a long time, and he's one of them," Triche said.
Walther, an assistant commissioner for animal health and food safety and the director of emergency programs, said he does this work because it's close to his heart.
"I was raised in Houma, I've been down in the coast all my life, and I've seen the changes first-hand," Walther said. "I believe that we have a responsibility to try and better these coastal resources to make sure they're still here for future generations. That's why I joined the Coastal Conservation Association 20 years ago. It's a group that's dedicated to preserving these resources."
Walther said he decided to pursue getting money for the reef artificial projects after Shell stopped dredging in the area and was no longer required to donate used equipment for artificial reefs. The 11th project was just completed in Lake Pontchartrain.
Walther "enthusiastically sought millions in private and government funding to spearhead" these projects, Caffey said.
"When you see an issue that needs attention, roll up your sleeves and go to work on it. Don't wait for someone else to do it. Use your resources," Walther said.
But to have the necessary resources, the first step is to join one of the Louisiana's many restoration organizations, Walther said.
Walther said he will be working with the Coastal Conservation Association and local schools April 19 and 20 to plant more grass on the floating island in Pointe-aux-Chenes. Those interested in participating can call the association at 225-952-9200.

The Samopal vzor 1958 (submachine gun,model of 1958) was the standard assault rifle of the Czechoslovak army from thelate 1950s and until the dissolution of the ČSSR in the 1993. At the present time the SA Vz.58 is still used by the Czech and Slovak armies, as well as soldfor export in some quantities. The SA Vz.58 saw not much of real combat, so itis hard to judge how it stakes up against the most known contemporary rivals,like the Soviet / Russian AK-47 or the US M16A1. But the overall quality, fitand finish of this rifle is excellent. This rifle had been designed by the Czecharms designer Jiří Čermák, under the project codename "KOŠTĚ",or "Broom", in English. Development began in Januaryof 1956, and the rifle was adopted for service only 2 years later, in 1958. The rifle was manufactured by the state-owned arms factory "Česká zbrojovka", located in the town of Uherský Brod (CZ-UB).
The Czech army planned to replace the SAVz.58 with the newest CZ-2000 rifle system, chambered for 5.56mm NATO ammunition, but the financial difficulties severely slowed down this process.
The SA Vz.58 strongly resembles externally the famous Kalashnikov AK-47 assault rifle, but internally it is entirely different and of original and well-thought out design.
Technical description.
The SA Vz.58 is a gas operated, magazine fed, selective fire weapon. It uses more or less conventional short stroke gas piston, located above the barrel. Thegas piston has its own return spring. The locking system features a linearly moving bolt (breechblock) with a separate tilting locking piece. The breechblock(bolt) is located under the bolt carrier, and the locking piece is hinged to thebolt and located under it. Gun fires from the closed bolt all times. When gun isfired, the gas piston gives a short tap to the bolt carrier. After a free movement of about 22 mm (.9 inch) the bolt carrier swings the locking piece upfrom the locking recesses in the receiver, and thus unlocks the bolt. From this moment on the bolt group moves back at once, extracting and ejecting the spentcase and chambering the fresh cartridge. At the end of the return stroke thebolt stops in the forward most position against the breech face, while the boltcarrier continues to move forward, swinging the locking piece down and into the locking recesses, thus locking the bolt to the receiver. The overall system can be roughly described as a mix between the Walther P-38 pistol and the CzechZB-26 (or British Bren) machine gun locking. The charging handle is attached to the right side of the bolt carrier.
The trigger / hammer unit also differs from the most common designs in that it is a striker fired design. The massive cylindrical striker is located at the rear, hollowed part of the bolt, and has its own spring located under the bolt group return spring. The striker has a lugthat interacts with the sear and is used to hold the striker in the cocked position. The overall design of the trigger unit is relatively simple and has few moving parts. The safety / fire mode selector switch is located at the right side of the receiver, and has 3 positions for safe, single shots and full automatic fire.
The basic variant, SA Vz.58P, has a fixed buttstock, and furniture made either from wood (early models) or from wood-impregnated plastic(late production models). The SA Vz.58V has a side-folding metallic buttstock,and the SA Vz.58Pi is similar to the SA Vz.58P except that it has a large mounting bracket on the left side of the receiver, that allows for the IR /Night sights to be mounted.
The sights are of open type, with hooded front post and open notch adjustable rear.
Special thanks to MiroslavNovák (Czech republic) for additional information on the SA Vz.58 rifle

This section describes data views that route requests targeted at a list of subtrees to a set of data-equivalent data sources.
The example in this section has multiple data sources that each contain the same set of subtrees. The data sources are data-equivalent and pooled into one data source pool for load balancing. A data view is configured for each subtree to expose that subtree to client requests. Figure 17–3 shows the example deployment.
A request is exposed to a data view only if the target DN is subordinate to the base DN of the data view. When a request is exposed to a data view, the request is forwarded to the data source pool specified by the data view.
If the target DN of a request is not subordinate to the base DN of any data view, Directory Proxy Server returns an error.
In Figure 17–4, requests that target dc=example1,dc=com or dc=example2,dc=com are forwarded to the data source pool. Directory Proxy Server returns an error for requests that target neither dc=example1,dc=com nor dc=example2,dc=com.
For information about how to configure the data views in this section, see Data Views That Route Requests When a List of Subtrees Is Stored on Multiple, Data-Equivalent Data Sources in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administration Guide for Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition.

Randy Travis Arrest Footage -- You're REALLY Gonna Take Me to Jail???
Randy Travis Arrest Footage You're REALLY Gonna Take Me to Jail?!!?
Randy Travis was downright DUMBFOUNDED when Texas police told the singer he was being arrested for public intoxication earlier this month ... telling cops, "Really? Are you kidding me?"
Dashcam footage, obtained by KCENTV.com, shows the country star talking slowly and slurring to police as he's questioned about why he was sitting in a parked car near a Baptist church in the middle of the night on Feb. 6.
In the footage, Travis is asked if he had been boozing ... to which he replies, "Yes, sir, I have. But I am not driving, as you can see." As TMZ previously reported, cops say Travis reeked of booze.
The officer asked Travis for ID, but the singer didn't have his driver's license on him at the time.
The officer continued, "Here's what's going to happen tonight ... You're going to go to jail for public intoxication."
Travis: "Really? Are you kidding me?"
Cop: "Maybe once we get to the jail, we can figure out who ... get some more information on you, who you are."
Travis: "Are you kidding me?"
The cop wasn't kidding ...
As TMZ previously reported, Travis was hauled to jail at around 1:30 AM ... and was booked, cited and released a short time later.
