Environmental law bridges policies and actions to achieve goals for the protection of the environment and sustainable development, providing a structure to support systems of environmental governance. As emphasized by the Malmö Ministerial Declaration, the evolving framework of international environmental law and the development of national law provide a sound basis for addressing the major environmental threats of the twenty-first century. The process of developing environmental law also presents an opportunity for strengthening international cooperation and solidarity to face the common challenges ahead. While Governments are primarily responsible for taking legal and related measures to address environmental protection and sustainable development, international organizations have an important role to play in the development of environmental law.
General role of UNEP
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the principal United Nations body in the field of the environment. The role of UNEP is to be the leading global environmental authority that sets the global environmental agenda, that promotes the coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development within the United Nations system and that serves as an authoritative advocate for the global environment.
UNEP assists Governments and the international community in general to identify environmental problems of regional or global significance, and to build and disseminate the knowledge base concerning the identified problems. UNEP facilitates building international consensus on measures to address such problems, and promotes the implementation of such measures through the promotion of international cooperation, provision of assistance to Governments or training and awareness-raising among various stake-holders. UNEP undertakes these tasks in partnership with Governments, other United Nations bodies and specialized agencies, as well as other intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations.
Development of international environmental law in UNEP
The development of international environmental law has been one of the key areas of UNEP's activities, since international environmental law is to catalyze international action for achieving environmental goals in countries by their collective commitment and action, which is also a major function of UNEP.
The role of UNEP in the development of international environmental law has been repeatedly emphasized at various international fora, including the Governing Council of UNEP and the United Nations General Assembly. Agenda 21, in Chapter 38, states that the priority areas on which UNEP should concentrate include the further development of international environmental law, in particular conventions and guidelines, promotion of its implementation, and coordinating functions arising from an increasing number of international legal agreements. The nineteenth special session of the General Assembly held in June 1997, in its resolution S-19/2 (Programme for the Further Implementation of Agenda 21), reiterated this function for UNEP.
Montevideo Programme
Since its establishment in 1972 throughout the 1970s, UNEP had already been active in the development of environmental law, such as the development of regional seas conventions. However, its involvement in the work of environmental law had been determined and carried out on an ad hoc basis. More systematic approach was needed for Governments and UNEP to address the subject from long-term perspectives with clearly defined benchmarks.
In 1981, a group of senior government officials expert in environmental law representing Governments from around the world met in Montevideo, and developed a long-term, strategic guidance for UNEP in the field of environmental law. It was adopted by the Governing Council of UNEP in 1982 and became a UNEP long-term programme (the Montevideo Programme for the Development and Periodic Review of Environmental Law). During the 1980s and 1990s, the Programme and its successor, the Programme for the 1990s (Montevideo Programme II adopted by the Governing Council in 1993) provided the basis for UNEP's action aiming at progressive development of environmental law.
In February 2001, the twenty-first session of the Governing Council adopted the Programme for the first-decade of the twenty-first century (Montevideo Programme III) with a view to further strengthening its activities in the field of environmental law. This Programme has a particular focus on enhancing the effectiveness of environmental law, addressing the following areas:
· Implementation, compliance and enforcement;
· Capacity-building;
· Prevention and mitigation of environmental damage;
· Avoidance and settlement of international environmental disputes;
· Strengthening and development of international environmental law;
· Harmonization and coordination;
· Public participation and access to information;
· Information technology; and
· Innovative approaches to environmental law.
The Montevideo Programme III address also sectoral issues for conservation and management of the environment. They are:
· Freshwater resources;
· Coastal and marine ecosystems;
· Soils;
· Forests;
· Biological diversity;
· Pollution prevention and control;
· Production and consumption patterns;
· Environmental emergencies and natural disasters.
In addition, the Programme covers the related fields, including:
· Trade;
· Security and the environment;
· Military activities and the environment.
The Montevideo Programme III is being implemented in line with the overall UNEP Programme of Work as approved by the Governing Council.
Global and regional conventions and protocols
Under the Montevideo Programme, a number of global environmental conventions have been developed under UNEP's auspices. These include the 1985 Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer, the 1987 Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, the 1989 Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal, the 1992 Convention on Biological Diversity, the 1998 Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for Certain Hazardous Chemicals and Pesticides in International Trade, and the 2001 Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants.
At the regional level, UNEP has facilitated the development of regional seas conventions and protocols since the mid 1970s, including the conventions and protocols for the Mediterranean, the Gulf, the Red Sea, West and East African coastal zones, the Caribbean, the South Pacific, the South-east Pacific and the Black Sea. Those conventions and protocols are supplemented by related action plans. Actions plans have been developed also for the regions where legally binding instruments are yet to be developed, including East and South Asian seas and the Northwest Pacific. The development of regional seas agreements and related action plans continues. UNEP currently assists the Governments of Central East Pacific region to develop a regional sea convention.
In addition, UNEP assisted Governments in the development of regional environmental conventions, such as the 1987 Agreement on the Action Plan for the Environmentally Sound Management of the Common Zambezi River System and the 1994 Lusaka Agreement on Co-operative Enforcement Operations Directed at Illegal Trade in Wild Fauna and Flora. UNEP's assistance is currently being provided to States in the Caspian Sea region to develop a Convention on the Caspian environment. UNEP has been providing similar assistance to ASEAN member States to develop the ASEAN Agreement on Transboundary Haze Pollution, which will be adopted by ASEAN Ministers later this year.
Furthermore, UNEP has facilitated the development of other global and regional conventions by providing decision-makers of countries with environmental assessment and information on significant environmental issues and coordinated international actions that led to the development of such instruments. Examples of such UNEP's involvement included the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (through the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, organized jointly by UNEP and the World Meteorological Organization) and the 1994 United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification in Those Countries Experiencing Serious Drought and/or Desertification, particularly in Africa (through UNEP's activities to combat desertification). More recently, UNEP provided substantive support to the parties concerned to develop the 1999 Basel Protocol on Liability and Compensation for Damage Resulting from Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal and the 2000 Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety.
Non-binding instruments
In order to fill gaps in the areas where no binding instruments has been developed, UNEP has promoted the development of non-binding international legal instruments which are designed to urge Governments and other parties to undertake actions to protect the environment on a voluntary basis. Some of them provided the basis for the development of legally binding instruments on the respective subjects. Those include guidelines and principles for Governments in the field of shared natural resources (1978), weather modifications (1980), offshore mining and drilling (1982), information exchange on hazardous chemicals in international trade (1984, 1987 and 1989), marine pollution from land-based activities (1987), management of hazardous chemicals (1987) and environmental impact assessment (1987). More recent instruments include the Code of Ethics on the International Trade in Chemicals (1994) and the International Technical Guidelines for Safety in Biotechnology (1995). The Global Programme of Action for the Protection of Marine Environment from Land-based Activities (1995) complements the provisions on this subject set forth in the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
Ensuring adequacy
In order for an international environmental agreement to achieve defined environmental goals effectively, the agreement should set forth adequate mechanisms for its implementation. UNEP organizes an open negotiating process and it is a means for ensuring such adequacy of the contents of the agreement. After the adoption and entry into force of the agreement, it becomes a responsibility of the parties to the agreement to ensure its adequacy.
Implementation of international environmental law
The Montevideo Programme, among its programme areas, addresses the need for strengthening the capacity of States, in particular developing countries and countries with economies in transition, to take legal and institutional measures to protect their environment, to achieve sustainable development and to participate effectively in the initiation, negotiation and implementation of international legal instruments in the field of the environment.
For this purpose, UNEP, in cooperation with relevant international organizations, assists States to establish and/or improve institutional and administrative machinery for the development and enforcement of laws and regulations related to the environment and to sustainable development. Assistance, on request, was desired of UNEP in 1975 by the United Nations General Assembly in resolution 3436 (XXX). Assistance is also provided to States in developing and strengthening relevant national institutions. Recipients of such UNEP services included countries in Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Eastern and Central Europe, and Latin America and the Caribbean. In the past decade, more than 100 countries received UNEP's legal advisory services to enhance their national environmental legislation and related institutions.
Coherent and cost-effective schemes for implementing international environmental agreements would require coordination at various levels and the involvement of all stake-holders. At the national level, currently there is the need for broadening the range of actors who share the tasks for environmental protection and management. This might require enhancement of participation by various actors in environmental decision-making, and for that purpose, improved access to environmental information might be also required. At the international level, there is the compelling need for enhancing coherence and efficiency in the activities carried out by various entities through the improved coordination of international action.
Also, the development of appropriate technical infrastructures and introduction of adequate technologies are important elements for enabling countries to implement international environmental agreements. UNEP has been providing advice on policy options and raising awareness on emerging issues. For instance, in the case of the ozone layer protection, those include further promotion of cleaner production, provision of clearing-house functions on ozone depleting substances, preparation of policy guidance materials for developing countries concerning the phase-out of ozone-depleting substances and concerning sustainable tourism. Relevant technical assistance and training activities are also provided by in-work attachments as well as by organizing relevant seminars and workshops on environmental law for countries in regions.
Information on environmental law
UNEP undertakes action to improve arrangements for the receipt, processing and dissemination of information on environmental legislation. In this regard, UNEP and IUCN have been developing a Joint Environmental Law Information System (ECOLEX) to provide access to such legal materials through Internet-based database (http://www.ecolex.org). Many legal and technical publications have provided useful information to Governments, and thus facilitated their work in identifying relevant instruments and in promoting harmonization of laws through compendia of legislation.
Enforcement and compliance
In focusing on the effective implementation of international environmental agreements, a key factor is to establish efficient and practical reporting systems. With the increasing reporting obligations under different international agreements, due consideration needs to be given to the harmonization and simplification of reporting procedures. The special situation and needs of developing countries should be considered. It is important to identify the real causes of non-compliance and provide the maximum possible assistance, especially to developing countries, to facilitate compliance.
At the global level, a number of conventions set out provisions that allow the respective Parties to develop international mechanisms designed to enhance compliance with the relevant obligations under those conventions (e.g. the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer).
The 1994 Lusaka Agreement on Co-operative Enforcement Operations Directed at Illegal Trade in Wild Fauna and Flora, addressed to African countries, is an example of regional cooperation mechanisms related to environmental enforcement. Its objective is to reduce and ultimately eliminate illegal trade in wild fauna and flora. Under the Agreement, a permanent Task Force has been established to facilitate cooperative activities among designated national enforcement offices in carrying out investigations pertaining to illegal trade. UNEP assists the Parties to this Agreement in developing relevant expertise by organizing training workshops and other capacity building activities.
While enforcement of and compliance with international environmental agreements are primarily national issue for each party, UNEP plans to strengthen its activities in assisting Governments of developing countries in this area. A Unit dedicated for this purpose has been established (Enforcement and Compliance Unit). UNEP has organized several international meetings for enforcement and other government officials, focusing on the question of illegal trade and other environmental crime in contravention of the obligations under relevant agreements. In follow up to the outcome of those meetings, UNEP, with the assistance of a group of government experts, is developing a set of guidelines designed to promote compliance with and enforcement of multilateral environmental agreements, as mandated by the Governing Council.
In more general term, raising awareness and building capacities of countries in the field of environment law help them enforce and comply with the obligations of international environment agreements. UNEP, with the support of donor Governments, continues conducting such legal capacity building activities for developing countries in all regions.
Challenges Ahead
The body of environmental law has been developed significantly during the past three decades since the 1972 United Nations Conference on Human Environment. As emphasized in the Malmö Ministerial Declaration, the international community now faces challenges in ensuring that the commitments contained in the existing environmental instruments are implemented. In the overall context of sustainable development, more integrated, holistic approaches are required to address the sources of environmental problems targeted by these instruments. Enhanced international cooperation would be further needed to empower developing countries for them to be able to undertake the commitment, with adequate resources and supporting infrastructure and technologies made available to them. Coherence among diversified environmental legal instruments is now called for. Implementation and enforcement of these instruments must be carried out at all levels.
An overall international institutional architecture for international environmental governance has been the subject of debate by Environmental Ministers of the world through the intergovernmental process instituted by the Governing Council of UNEP earlier this year. The outcome of the debate will be considered by the next special session of the Governing Council/Global Ministerial Environment Forum (Cartagena, Colombia, February 2002), and by the World Summit on Sustainable Development (Johannesburg, South Africa, September 2002). It is hoped that this process would result in a certain form of arrangements consolidating efforts of all parties to resolve the root causes of global environmental problems. To achieve this, there will be more demands to environmental law. UNEP is committed to assist Governments and the international community in meeting such increased demand in environmental law. UNEP's contribution to the progressive development of environmental law continues.

How to Make Sure the Shutdown Doesn't Cost You Your Dream House
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- As if buying a home doesn't have enough headaches, the partial government shutdown has added another: likely delays in getting government verification of your Social Security number and tax return, both needed for the loan application.
Even worse, borrowers seeking loans from the Federal Housing Administration are likely to find that a lack of staffing will put their application on hold. And after federal employees do get back to work, they're not likely to clear out the paperwork backlog overnight. Who knows how long it could take to get back to normal?
People who already have applications in the works may have little recourse but to chew their nails and, if deadlines for mortgage approvals are missed, throw themselves on their seller's mercy. Since the seller usually wants to sell, postponing the closing might not be a problem. Unless, of course, another buyer has topped your bid in the meantime.
A buyer who is about to make an offer and submit a loan application can take a few precautions, with advice from the real estate agent, lender and perhaps a lawyer, to make delays as easy to survive as possible.
First and most obvious is to leave more time for the closing.
Buyers taking out loans typically make the sale contingent on getting a loan by a certain date at a rate not to exceed a specified amount. In making an offer to buy, you might do well to push the closing date back a couple of weeks or more if the seller is willing. To take the sting out of this, specify that you are willing to close earlier if your loan is approved.
Fortunately, mortgage rates have been drifting down, so there's a good chance a modest delay won't result in a higher rate on your loan. Again, the maximum rate you are willing to pay should be specified in the purchase offer.
It also could pay to opt for a longer lock-in period for your mortgage rate. That's the period during which the lender guarantees the agreed-upon rate. Be sure to explore your options carefully, as there could be a cost to choosing a longer lock-in period. This should be a factor in shopping for a mortgage.
It's always wise to be supremely well organized when buying a home or applying for a mortgage, and that's doubly true when there are unusual snags. So be sure to get lists from the lender, Realtor and title company of all the documents you will need and when, then get them all in hand. A delay in the government's role could cause a backlog with the lender and title company as well, and you don't want to make matters worse by not having a proof of income or some other document the moment it's required.

Committee will focus on safety
WOODSFIELD – The Switzerland of Ohio Local Board of Education has created a sub-committee focusing on the safety and security of the several high schools and elementary schools in the district.
"The board has created this sub-committee so we can work on making our schools safer for students, teachers and visitors," said Superintendent Larry Elliott.
While not all of the details of this sub-committee have been released at this time, but the sub-committee is headed by Ronald Winkler and Ed Carleston. Janelle Comstock will serve as a substitute. The Student Resource Officer Sheriff Joe Kress will also be a major part of the sub-committee and making the schools safer for anyone that enters its halls.
The sub-committee was formed at the Wednesday, Jan. 23 meeting. The meeting date was changed from its normal Thursday night due to training that several of the board members had to attend.
While the creation of the sub-committee is a newer topic, an older issue that has been brought up at the recent board meetings was the air quality at River High School. Switzerland of Ohio Local School District has built several new schools in the recent years since the passing of the 2009 levy. River High School which was still in fairly good shape was added on to accommodate the combination of Sardis Elementary and Hannibal Elementary making River High School a K-12 school.
But while River has been under construction since the summer months, the students of River High School have had class in this environment which has resulted in several issues such as the school not having heat, chilly temperatures due to exterior walls torn down and extreme amounts of dust. These issues have been brought to the boards attention by teachers and a parents. One parent's daughter has not been in school for more then a month due to health problems and doctors would not release her to return to River High School. In facing these problems the board had an industrial hygienist come in to monitor the air quality of River High School on Jan. 3 and found that the construction inside the school did not pose any threat to the health of the students that occupy the hallways.
In other news the board approved the following items:
- The approval of the 2013 High School Graduation Dates
- Approval of the Thyssen Krupp Elevator in Beallsville PK-12 service agreement, which goes into affect when the elevator is turned on. It is a one year agreement.
- Approval for a service agreement with Buckeye Power Sales Co., Inc. which will goes to the generators for the new schools.
Other then the graduation dates for the high school, the items approved will come out of the half mil money for the schools, but not out of the general fund. All of the schools will have sprinkler systems and elevators.

Colorado's recent horrific floods provided a stark illustration of these concerns; an estimated 60,000 gallons of petrochemicals were released from flooded fracking wells and other oil and gas extraction sites, contaminating the water and potentially leading to environmental disaster.

Major PC maker Dell on Tuesday said it would start selling the world's most affordable display with ultra-high-definition resolution starting January 23, 2014. At just $699, the monitor has all chances to become popular among certain video fans who want to experience 4K video (3840*2160 resolution) at home themselves. Unfortunately, specifications of the display are not suitable for gamers.
Dell 28" Ultra HD Monitor (P2815Q) offers 3840*2160 resolution with 30Hz refresh rate, which may be enough for movies and is definitely enough for productivity applications, but is barely sufficient for gamers who want to have 60Hz refresh rate (which is only supported in 1920*1080 resolution). The display features anti-glare TN panel technology that supports 30-bits colour depth (1.073 billion colours), 5ms response time and 300cd/m2 brightness, according to Forbes web-site. The monitor features DisplayPort/mDP v1.21 and HDMI 1.4/MHL 2.0 inputs as well as integrated USB 3.0 hub.
While Dell's P2815Q is clearly not a gamer's or professional's choice, it can certainly improve user comfort in productivity applications and allow customers in budget to experience ultra-high-definition video content that is set to become more available later this year. Some prosumers could also consider the display for their needs. At $699 price-point, the novelty is nothing but a device to watch.
For professional users Dell offers Dell UltraSharp 32" Ultra HD and Dell UltraSharp 24" Ultra HD monitors that are based on IGZO and IPS panels, respectively and offer 3840*2160 resolution along with 60Hz refresh rate. The displays provide 1000:1 contrast ratio, 350cd/m2 brightness, 8ms gray-to-gray switching and 176° vertical/horizontal viewing angle. Their panels support superb color accuracy and 99% AdobeRGB and 100% sRGB coverage. Still, pricing of the 32" and 24" UHD displays – $3499 and $1399, respectively – are just too high for general consumers and gamers.
All Dell Ultra HD monitors carry the Dell Premium Panel Guarantee, which means that if a user notices a single "bright" pixel during the warranty period, Dell will replace the panel.

13406 E. Philadelphia St. Whittier, CA 90608
Fascinated with Argentine history and culture, Veronica Moreno '12 will be headed south in spring 2013 to participate in the Fulbright Teaching Assistantship program, which involves spending at least 20 hours a week helping teach English language at an assigned foreign school.
Moreno, who was the executive producer of the Video Production Studio at Whittier, also plans to work with a group of students to produce a 15-30 minute short film.
"I will be guiding them through the entire process, from the pre-production stages all the way to the screening of their short," said Moreno, who will also be using the project as a way to improve participants' English skills, namely by having them read and analyze scripts as well as teaching them about creative writing through screenwriting.
"And, since technology is developing so rapidly now, I also think it will be important to provide training for and access to more [advanced instruments and techniques], so they are able to communicate [through a visual medium] the issues that are so important to them," she added.
Using film as way to bridge cultural connections has been a successful strategy for Moreno in the past. While studying abroad in France during her junior year, she used film as a way to gage and understand both the language and the customs of the country. She credits that trip, which she describes as "an eye-opening experience," for helping her discover her true passion for film and make the decision to pursue a career in that field.
Moreno notes that her choice to study in Argentina for her Fulbright program was sparked by a wave of young directors becoming more prominent of the film industry, and who are tackling issues related to the country's controversial political history.
"I love Argentine film, so I look forward to being exposed to more of it and the overall culture," she said.
With the ultimate goal of obtaining a Ph.D., Moreno plans to continue her studies at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada. She will enroll in fall of 2014 and begin work towards a master's degree in film studies.

It seems to be popular opinion around the Boston foodservice providers that cupping means bad pepperoni. I have tried to explain to them that they should carry Ezzo, but they are afraid of the cupping/visible oil that is produced. I grew up with Ezzo in pittsburgh, sot to me it means real pepperoni.
Penn Mac was recently willing to sell me two large sticks at a time. It is amazing, but the next best and VERY close is the Hormel Rosa, or Rosa Grande. They sell them at my local Wall Mart believe it or not. In taste tests, only a few people picked out the ezzo as being better. They both cup and char the same.

My little Max had pericardial hernia surgery last year and now lives with a constant cough. He's had it rough and the surgery and recovery has been very expensive but he is worth every cent.
My kitty Zeppelyn loves to be pampered. She is my only child and needs entertainment when i'm not home. She already considers herself queen of my castle so it would be nice if she had her own castle to rule. I adopted her from a shelter she was sick and weighed only 3 pounds at 6 months old. Now when people see her they are amazed since she is healthy and beautiful. No one thought she would turn out to have long hair and be the size she is when the first saw her. But shes a year old now and rockin.
I have 3 cats that are the best cats ever so loving and sweet! Two of them always have to make trips to the vet more often than normal and the vet is not exactly their favorite place to be lol bc they both have really bad allergies. They have to deal with a lot! I love them tons and they so deserve this!!
We have three rescue cats MacKayla Joel Gray and William the Orange and they deserve to be pampered because they have been there for me in the past year when I was terribly sick. They have provided companionship comfort love and purrs they've been the best!
My kitty deserves the castle I think as shes an old gal now going on 21 and has seen and been thru many things especially fighting to stay alive. I say this cause she has her problems being old such as bad arthritis and memory losswe think but she tries to stay alive for us for all of us here in the family because she knows how we love her so dearly and cherish and adore her she feels our love we constantly talk to her to keep her mind working and pet her and pick her up etc. She would love this castle even being an old old cat she still inspects every new thing we bring into the house and she even goes outside yet to see who's in her yard.We have to watch she doesnt run away so we keep an eye on her but that doesnt stop her from exploring her outdoor world yet still curious and mischievious as in her young tender years.We have a vet prescribed medicine for her joint pain and arthritis and she has been doing better since on it. We want her to last forever but we know the time will come … Please enter me thank you
Snowball II loves to be pampered.. Please enter me
Oh how my girls would love this. I have two kitties Polly and Rose. They are both polydactyls. For those who don't know my fur babies have lots and lots of toes!! They are spoiled rotten especially Polly! Their precious large feet have never touched the ground outside! They are terrified of outside. They love running around in the house and hiding and would love the Kitty Castle! I would love to win it for a Christmas gift for them!
my baby kitty yes thats her name we have to change it though to babymama kitty because she just had 3 kittens.they are cute as buttons and are sooooooooooo playful.she is a good mama and is very protective of them when someone walks near their basket she stares at them with daggers in her eyes..i think her and her babies would love this to play in
I found Tinker at the local Humane Society when she was about 5 months old. I don't know what she went through before they found her but it must have been very traumatic. She is terrified of everyone. When she hears footsteps outside the door she runs and hides inside the closet. When I have visitors she hides inside my bedroom until everyone is gone. My grandson stayed with me for 6 months and only got a glimpse of her one time. When it's just the two of us she is a love bug. She love to be cuddled and sleeps with me every night. She deserves to have a castle of her very own.
My home is ruled by 3 torties. Thumper Cali and Fig. They are all rescues. Thumper was found on the street when the neighbors were trying to get her out of their shrubbery on their property. They were using a hose to get her out. I took her home. Cali was adopted from a local rescue group who traps feral cats and kittens. She has a loving home now. And Fig. I got her just a year ago when I was volunteering with 'No More Homeless Pets in Utah'. She came in as a feral and I fell in love. She's been with me ever since. My 3 rescues and my life revolves around them.
I have two kittys and one puppy at my home we rescued my first cat from a shelter and adopted our second cat when she became too much for her original owner to care for. Her name is Patches and she is a calico persian kitty. She has horrible allergies and is constantly sneezing and has a hard time breathing most of the time. She also takes pills for tummy problems. She definitly could use some pampering! While she has to work a little harder than most cat we still love her just the way she is! jordanjenningsprodigy.net
It was early April in 1987. I was 21 in college and I'd been holed up in my dingy little student apartment for days with a nasty case of the flu. Finally I woke up feeling almost normal well enough to go to class but young enough not to. Instead I went to my favorite bakery to treat myself to a pastry and then I wandered into the pet shop next door thinking I should buy a toy for my cranky ancient dog who I'd been ignoring while I was sick. I was wearing tightrolled stonewashed baggy jeans and a paisley shirt about as 1987 as you can get. I stepped through the door and headed to the chewtoy section but a writhing clot of fur blocked my path. I was a confirmed dog person my dad was allergic to cats and I'd never really known one but a pile of kittens is impossible to resist and I stopped to coo at them. Before I could even lean down to pet them I felt a teeny tug at my ankle and looked down to see a tiny dark gray creature with a pink nose climbing up my jeans and I experienced the disorientation of love at first sight for the first and only time in my life. Before I really understood what was happening I'd gotten the story from the shop owner a box of kittens left at the front door sometime in the middle of the night and given him some money for kitten chow and tiny bowls and the little thing who'd chosen me was in my lap in the car on the way to the vet before we got home to introduce the dog to his new toy. I was into Egyptian history at the time and I named her Isis. She weighed less than a pound and the vet thought she was about five weeks old too young really to be away from her mom but healthy. The jeans are long gone and the dog died not long after but Isis is sitting beside me as I write this. Together we've lived in six cities and more apartments and houses than I can count. She's been to Grateful Dead shows and driven crosscountry three or four times. She likes sailboats and chicken. She's indifferent to dogs and catnip but she hates lizards and cigarette smoke. She's seen me through a wedding a divorce and another wedding. She's tolerated good boyfriends bad ones iguanas and guinea pigs. She was with me when both my parents died. For all these years Isis has been the steadiest most reliable presence in my life and I love her. She loves me back. The vet is surprised by her continuing health she's a little creaky around the hips a little less playful and a little more cranky than she used to be and I think that after all these years of adventure and friendship Isis deserves a room of her own for however much or little time we have left together. She chose me 22 years ago and I know she'd love it if you chose her now.
I have three cats. Our oldest cat MeMe who is 13 years old and two that are a year old. We adopted a male kitten a year ago who we instantly feel in love with. However as curious as kittens are he jumped into my clothes dryer without me knowing. We were devastated and my children cried all night. The next day we adopted his sister Shebe. I was so hurt after losing this male kitten Hebe. I had never had a male kitten and I had bonded so much with him. One day a couple of weeks after we adopted Shebe I came home and saw a small kitten outside of my home I thought Shebe had somehow gotten outside because this kitten was the exact same color and size. However this kitten ran from me when I called her. I soon found out that it was a stray kitten. I began feeding him and after a couple of months he allowed me to pet him. I felt like he was sent to me to help me heal. Another male kitten that needed my help. Well now we have these two kittens that are a year old and like to play…all the time. Mostly in the middle of the night and I would love to have this Kitty Castle that I could keep in the front Den. It might entertain them during the middle of the night while we are trying to sleep. I never expected to have two kittens the same age the like to play so much but would not change a thing. Thank you for the entry!
My cat Tim and I recently lost his best friend and he's lonely. This would help until we decide who will join our family.
I have 5 kitties who were all strays or dumped by their owners. They all found my home and of course I would never turn them away. Each of them have their own special needs but they all are my babies and I would do anything for them. Most recently my siamese mix had 2 tumors removed from her tummy. She is very blessed because they were both benign but she is definitely my special princess who deserves a place in the castle.
my fiance and i live at home with his mother temporarily and we have together 11 cats. that number includes the 3 kittens we just adopted. this would be a godsend.
Im currently watching my brothers cats Komi and Honda Civic. He's a marine and has been in Iraq for the past 8 months and is soon to be shipped off to Afganistan. They hate that their daddies away and that they have to share the house with my two dogs. I would love for them to have this! They deserve it.
All I can say is my husband is a dog lover and I love my cat. My husband has 7 hounds that he hunts and I have a cat named gremlin that i have loved for years. She tolerates the dogs for the most part and hides in the house where she always twitches her tail and gives loves to me while we complain about the chaos outside!
I have five active cats who would love this castle
Jinx is a saint. She deals with the dog and the kids trying to play with her constantly. I see her sitting in the window sill dreaming of chasing the birds like her wild ancestors. I would love for her to have this great space to take a break from us all.
My baby girl Cali was sent to me for a reason. The day that I went to get her I had just gotten out of the hospital for trying to kill myself. I thought that I was worth nothing and that my life was not important. I went into the shelter that day just to look and she stole my heart from the first time that I saw her. It took us awhile to trust one another but in time we have. She has been with me for 4 years and I have been clean for 4 years also. They day that I saved her she also saved me.
My four kitties are all rescues and shelter cats two of whom where on their last day at a kill shelter. The oldest is 12 years old. I walked right into that shelter and told them to hand over whomever needed a home right away. They sent me home with two great kitties I still can't understand why they weren't snatched up they are the sweetest cats in the world! and I tell all my kitties they were worth every penny of their "bail" money as I call it. LOL I know my kitties especially the oldest one we call the Queen of Sheba because she acts like it would just love to play in their very own castle! I wonder if all four could find their way to squeeze into it at the same time knowing them they'll find a way!
My Kittica Kitty deserves the castle because she lost her mother who was also her best friend CuddleLisa a few months ago. Her mother was blind in one eye and Kittica always stayed near her helping her even when CuddleLisa batted at her with her claws or was mean with her. Sometimes they lay on the bed facing each other with both sets of paws touching like a huge heart. Cuddlelisa the mother died she was 15 and Kittica had stayed with her since her birth and then was beside herself not knowing what to do. She's still lonely and I want to do anything I can to help her.
I am fortunate enough to be allowed to live with my 5 kid kitties. Though I recently lost my best friend in the world Tao! He was 20 and lived his life at my side through many relocations for work different relationships as I grew up he was always there and I cherished him! Because of him we opened our home to any cat that he and I felt needed needed our help and was a good fit. Anyone else that wandered through was held and placed in great homes that matched their personalities. Since he passed I did go to the Humane Society to open our home in his name to just one more I prayed he would approve and and help pick the right guy. I have been fortunate enough to see a little of Taoser's personality in him. Simon is my new friend that is showing the signs of being that reallllllly special cat that just "knows" you in every way. I thought that this kitty castle would be great for my cat pals and honor their mentor Tao.
We took in our male Mistah Fluff after he was born to a stray in our neighborhood a year ago. He is such a sweet kitty. He loves to have his belly rubbed and will stretch out when we pet him. Love this cat.
well I believe that all 3 of my babies deserved to be pampered. We share their space a 12 yr old Tabby named LB who is fiesty as ever a 5 year old Tabby named Bob who I believe is atleast 22lbs and Frank our new arrival who is 8 months. Frank came to us from the Humane Society after our 14 year old Gurr Gurr lost her battle with illness.
My kitties deserve this castle. I have 3 cats and they are the world to my little girl. Two are rescue cats and one is a cat from a friend's litter. I have seen my daughter come in crying from outside especially if other kids are picking on her and she just scoops up one of the cats and hugs them. After a rough day she said to our cat Alice the other day with tears in her eyes "You're my real friend you would never tease me. I can always count on you. You love me and I love you and I don't need anyone else.". It was sweet and made me shed a tear of my own. The cats just sit with her and listen. You can see that they really do love her. Those cats are her best friends. She does everything for them and they love each other. If our cat Jackie O. sneaks outside I have to chase her and try to get her back inside for quite some time but all my daughter has to do is call her when she gets out and she comes right in! Our other cat Spyder sleeps in her bed with her every night. It's amazing the bond they share. I think my cats deserve this castle because of what they do for my daughter and how much they love her. I think she would love to put this in her room for them and it would mean so much to both the cats and my daughter to win this.
My female Siamese is 18 years old. She has always been the Queen of the house but has never had her own castle. I would love to see this happen…thanks for the giveaway!
My cat Area is twelve and an insulin dependent diabetic. She's adopts a cardboard box each time the groceries are delivered so we made a space so she always has one. A kitty castle would serve the same purpose and look so much nicer!
I have one rescue kitty and four cats and they all have their own personalities but they are all are so sweet. They never do anything wrong and are so cudly.
My Cattywampus is such a good friend and comfort to me. I suffer from severe anxiety and social anxiety disorders as well as depression and she always seems to know just when I need that extra snuggle or legrub and trilling "meow" she gives. She exudes unconditional love and I love to spoil her rotten!
I am owned by 2 wonderful furbabies both are stray C.J the oldest was found outside a Mexican resturant she is a Garfield cat feed her and let her lie in the sun and nobody gets hurt she is also a very picky eater. The baby Razzy a stray I found huddle in a water drain after a very big rainstorm she is a Mommygirl she sleep with me on a pillow and she make herself comfortable under the computer table until I am done. I know my boths cats deserve a castle because I they are inside cats and I work during the day in the evenings I let them run around or lie on the balconcy I am very glad for daylight savings. Money is very tight right now for additional thing for them beside food and litter. Thanks for the giveaway sharr1226 at yahoo dot com
We took in the street stray after she was kicked out of her home when her old owners moved. Everyone has a different name for her but we know her as Catface my hubby's fault!. She's a lovely old mog nearly 12 by our guess and already acts like queen of the house! Being an old cat she spends a lot of her time sleeping and resting and it's hard for her to jump up on our bed when she wants a snooze so a little castle of her own would be perfect for her
My cat named Mouse is a good cat. She always is there in the morning when my husband gets home from work midnight shift. She stands in the kitchen with him and he talks to her and is a good companion when everyone else is still sleeping. She looks for a treat and is such a good and friendly cat. She lays on the back of the couch and could use a little castle of her own. Thank you!
We have 3 rescue kitties 2 are special needs with severe allergies and digestion problems. We have to serve them a very special diet and feed them separately 2 times a day which they hate. They would love to win this so they can play and forget about the dreaded wait until feeding time.
My poor 15yearold cat is tortured by her 7yearold "brother." He's very big very fat and very fast…and he chases her like crazy. She is very skinnyshe has kidney disease that can only be treated with special food. But last week we went away overnight and he chased her into the office and somehow the door closed behind her. She was stuck for 24 hours with no food water or litterbox. She's now taken to sleeping in the bathtub the one place she feels "safe." Please note we do EVERYTHING we can to keep him away from her and keep up her healthbut he's stealthy!
My son was only a toddler when we went into a pet store. They had a cage full of kittens there so I let my kids play with them. When we put one particular little kitten back he started meowing and so my son cried saying "He wants me" and was so distraught that we bought him and brought the kitten home. My son will be 17 next month and is a muscular lineman for his HS football team. But he still LOVES that cat and the cat sits on his lap anytime he sits down and sleeps with him at night. It's so touching to see the delight he's brought to my son's life for the last 13 years and how much my son still loves him. Maybe he was crying for him!!
our cat is upset since my sis left overseas to be with her husband how the poor kitty doesn't have anyone to nap with he deserves his own castle!
Meow Meow thinks he rules the house. It does not matter what time we come home at night we still have to wake up at 6am to her meowing and reminding us it is time to wake up. Meow Meow's cat house has been ruined recently right when he was getting used to it. Thanks
We have 6 cats indoors. They would have all been outdoor ferals and probably not around long in our neighborhood. They deserve a castle.
Biscuit claimed us as his family 3 years ago about 6 months after the sad death of Dumpling who had been with us for 14 years. After losing Dumpling I was determined not to have another cat. The heartbreak was just too great. Well my SO took our youngest to a cub scout meeting one night and when he came home he was telling me about the kittens the scoutmaster had at his house. He said there was this one kitten who came running out with all of the adult cats like he was king of the crowd. He said it was kinda dark outside so he couldn't get a good look at him but he laughed at how brave the kitten was. I jokingly said to him "So when you going to bring him home?" Nothing more was said about it. Two weeks later they went to another meeting. I was at home sitting on the couch when they came in. My youngest reached over the back of the couch and handed me this tiny kitten. I took one look at him and couldn't believe my eyes! It was like he was Dumpling reincarnated! They look sooooooooooooo much alike!!! My SO came in the house and told me when the kitten came running out this time and he got a good look at him he knew that Dumpling had sent him from above for me. Not only did I know at that time that this was meant to be I knew that I had a great man in my life! Biscuit has been such a joy!!!! Unfortunately 2 weeks ago he got very sick and we had to take him to the vet. After many tests they determined he had a blockage in his stomach. During emergency surgery they found all sorts of things in his stomach he had swallowed that a cat shouldn't swallow. Shoe strings tinsel you name it. The tinsel had cut his intestines and they had to remove 2 inches of his intestines. The vet really didn't think he would make it. After many tears and prayers I am grateful to say that Biscuit is now home and doing very well. I know that Dumpling told him he had to come back to take care of me. Thanks for taking the time to read this. sherri419 at gmail dot com
Because all 4 of my cats were 'throw away' animals to someone else but they are royalty in my house. Our latest rescue was placed for rehoming on craigslist a pure bred Bengal and not fixed advertised as available for breeding. We were not planning on adopting but we couldn't let her go to a basement breeder so we acted fast and took her in. We have two from last summer Persian cats who didn't meet the breeders standards so they were dumped off at a dog shelter. And out wonderful 15 year old tortie left in front of a pet store in a box injured and underfed. They are all healthy happy neuteredspayed cats who rule in this happy home.
I'd like to win this for my mom's kitties. My parents wanted to get a cat so we went to a shelter. There in a small cage were two brothers one black one gray year old cats that were about to be put down in a couple of weeks. They were maine coon mixes so they're very fluffy and loveable. They'd love this castle!
My friend Jen has 2 rescue kitties one of them only has one eye and recently she found a kitten in her landlords barn this kiten had been abandoned by his mom so at 3 weeks old Jen has become his forever mom and has faithfully been feeding jack every 2hrs. Jen could really use this kitty castle forher growing brood
Both of my cats are indoor and would love to be spoiled and live in a castle. They are both rescued cats one from a shelter and one from "outside" that was abandoned last year from her mother.
I have 2 kitties. One is my kitty Rylee he's a Maine Coon and amazingly gorgeous. The other kitty is Princess a gorgeous white kitty with blue blue eyes. She belonged to my Granny. She and my grandmother were inseparable. My grandmother passed away in March and my mom took in Princess afterwards. Even though Granny lived below us in the same house.. Princess is still adjusting to life without her.. She used to sleep every night at the end of my Granny's bed. And now she seems to wander through Granny's empty apartment somewhat confused. I can tell she wonders where her old bed is and where all the other furniture is. I think she'd love a kitty castle. A place she can call her own. Rylee would also love it but every Princess needs a castle
My kitty Imp needs some distractions now. She lost her sister 14 years old a few months ago and she could have fun with this castle.
My Kitties Charlie and Boris would LOVE this castle!!! They actually try and sleep in my daughter's Dora Castle!! LOL. Thanks for the chance.
Our cat Milo is such a special little kitty. He is about 3 mths old He is such a pleasure to be around. He is very loving and affectionate. He is very playful and I know he would just love to have a Kitty Castle for his very own. I hope I can win him one because he really deserves a
We have what some call a cat sanctuary here at my home! On the large screened porch we have 5 cats that were homeless and wondered in to be fed. we say that they have some sort of six sense and know we'll love them! Also we have 4 family cats formally strays that come in the house and sleep with us. Our cats and 2 dogs run this house! They are always jumping in the baby's playpen crib and carrier! I think this would be a great addition! Something to snuggle and play in! Sometimes its hard to support such a large animal brigade considering my mother is the only one that is currently employed. But we always find a way!

Marjolein van der Meulen
Current Position:
James M & Marsha McCormick Director of Biomedical Engineering at Cornell University
Engineering is a great career, particularly in this technology-based day and age.
Bioengineering/Biomedical Engineer
December 4, 2005
Her job: Swanson Professor of Biomedical Engineering , Cornell University
Describe what you do in your current work situation?
My job as a professor consists of a variety of different activities that relate to research, teaching and service. My research focuses on the biomechanics and mechanobiology of bone, the material that makes up your skeleton. Much of the day-to-day research is performed by students who work with me. I have taught both required mechanical engineering classes and biomechanics electives. My service activities include participating in committees at Cornell and in my professional community.
Why did you choose engineering?
My dad really steered me towards engineering as a career, but I was more interested in biology initially. Then I discovered the two fields could be combined during high school when I saw a 60 Minutes segment on helping paraplegics regain walking skills. So, I started as a mechanical engineer interested in biological problems and never looked back.
Where did you go to school and what degree(s) do you have?
My SB (Science Bachelor) is from MIT and then I moved to the West coast and received my MS and PhD from Stanford, all in mechanical engineering.
What kinds of activities have typically been part of your work?
My work involves both experimental and analytical work. Many of our experiments involve breaking bones to understand how strong they are and what factors contribute to bone strength. This type of work is very similar to testing of conventional materials. We don't have nondestructive ways to measure bone strength, so bones are tested directly in the lab. The analyses usually involve models that allow us to vary characteristics that can't easily be examined in the lab. The model predictions feed into our experiments, and then the data we measure contributes back to model development and validation.
What do you like best about being an engineer?
Lots of things! Solving problems, doing hands-on work, making things, especially when I've designed them myself and they work as planned.
What (or who) had/has the greatest influence on your life choices?
My family has very much influenced my choices and continues to do so. We have a strong nuclear family because my parents left the Netherlands to the US and didnnâ€t return. Most holidays were just the four of us. In addition to my immediate family, my grandfather was a supportive influence. He was the director of the Dutch National Weather Service (KNMI) and had a physics background. He always encouraged me, even reading my journal papers and discussing what I was working on whenever I came to visit him in the Netherlands.
What advice would you give to a young woman considering a career in engineering?
Engineering is a great career, particularly in this technology-based day and age. When I look at the choices that our graduating mechanical engineering undergrads have, the opportunities are amazing, they follow nearly any path including many other than engineering.
Describe something about your life outside of work: your hobbies, or perhaps a favorite book.
I've always had a lot of hobbies. These days I have less time for some of the creative hobbies, although I have started to get into photography as part of my love of travel. Travel is a big part of my personal and professional life. I also enjoy outdoor activities, for which Ithaca is a great setting. And, I love art, especially Matisse and Calder. Calder was trained as a mechanical engineer.

Comments: I'm not sure if it's because of how I strung it, but in my Youtek Radical Pro it just
killed my elbow. Other than that, it's a fantastic string.
From: Anon, 9/12
Comments: I play college tennis and I hit with this string on my Wilson blx six.one
95's 16x18. all at 60 lbs of tension. First time I played with it lasted only 3 sets of
doubles before I broke strings. Second time I used it I started my singles match with
a warm up and 35 min into the match the strings broke. Grabbed a third, and that
lasted me the second set but then snapped during warm ups the next day. Basically
its not a very durable string. Then again im hitting with a ton of spin and power.
plays really well, strings move alot though.
From: Chris, 2/12
Comments: I strung it with my Prince EXO3 Tour Team and it was great! I hit with so much spin. The very first time I
hit with it, I literally heard the spin. It is soft and improved my backhand.
From: Anon, 9/11
Comments: I strung it up on a Prince EXO tour 16/18 pattern with this as crosses at 60lbs and mains with Prince
Beast at 60lbs. Though the string played nicely with soft feel and some extra spin to it, it was nothing that blew my mind. After
hitting with it for a few days it started to feel even softer. The only problem I had was that it moved a lot, even strung in the
crosses. It's not a bad string by any means but really not that different from the regular Lightning XX.
From: Luke, AZ, USA. 4/11
Comments: I replaced the Lightning 16 that came with my Prince O-3 Hybrid with this Lightning Spin and the feel
and topspin is dramatically improved. I'm 3.0, 45 years old, and play singles and doubles.
From: Jeff, Bothell, WA, USA, 03/11
Comments: I guess I am the first to use it! I tried this on my new Prince tour lite 100 rackets. I liked the old
Lightening but this string adds just enough spin to let me open up my stokes with confidence. Power level is the same as the
regular version. I like the cool colors to. On slice serves you get a little more action off the ball but placement is the same. A good
string at a good price!

Success Stories
/ Conservation Showcase - White
Loading Tree...
There won't ever be a little house or anything else on Bill and Helen White's prairie.
The Whites worked with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to place 118 acres of native prairie near Mount Vernon in a permanent easement under NRCS' Grassland Reserve Program (GRP). In exchange for the easement, the Whites receive $1,125 per acre and retain ownership and use of the land.
Helen White says it is a good feeling knowing that the land that has been in her family since the late 1930s will be native prairie forever.
"I always said to my dad, "don't sell the hay field,"" she says. "Now my daughter says the same thing."
The "hay field" is actually a remnant native prairie, says Diana Sheridan, NRCS resource conservationist in Lawrence County. Remnant native prairies feature a combination of native, warm-season grasses and native forbs.
Carol Davit, development coordinator with the Missouri Prairie Foundation, says there are only 90,000 acres of remnant native prairie still surviving in Missouri. Before settlement, one-third of the state (about 15 million acres) was native prairie.
Davit says that in addition to being aesthetically pleasing, prairies provide habitat for pollinators, build rich soil, hold water, protect streams, and effectively sequester carbon in the soil. She applauds people who take measures to protect the prairies, either on their own or through programs like GRP.
"It's wonderful when landowners can protect remaining prairie," Davit says. "Prairie is one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world, and we have it right here in Missouri to protect for future generations."
Statewide, 15 GRP easements have been completed covering about 1,100 acres of prairies and other grassland types. Another 14 easements for about 1,900 acres are pending. NRCS estimates that about half of those acres will involve prairies.
"GRP is a good example of a program that we have available today that will provide dividends for future generations," NRCS State Conservationist J.R. Flores says. "As an agency, we share the landowners' satisfaction of knowing that what we do today will make a difference forever."
Sheridan says she enjoys working with landowners to protect and restore prairies because all prairies have intrinsic value.
"Our native ecosystems have value that goes beyond dollars," she says.
Sheridan says knowing that the land has never been plowed makes remnant prairies even more special. She adds that remnant prairies are easy to identify.
"On a planted prairie, there's a pattern," she says. "You can just tell that it's planted. On a remnant native prairie, the plants have found their niche over thousands of years. There is a certain random diversity not found in planted prairies."
Helen White says she and Bill had been considering putting the prairie into GRP for several years.
"We decided to go ahead and do it because (by enrolling the land in GRP) the land stays in our family and it stays income-producing," Helen says. She adds that the income comes from selling hay and seed.
Bill White says profitability is what kept Helen's father from tilling the prairie many years ago.
"He was proud of the fact that he didn't have to spend anything on lime or fertilizer and he always had plenty of high-quality hay to feed his cattle," Bill says.
Bill adds that when he looks across the fence separating the prairie from his neighbor's fescue pasture, he feels sure that the easement is the right thing to do because it transfers with the property if it ever is sold.
"Now we can be sure that this land will always be prairie," he says.

U.S. Paralympian Blake Leeper has issued a challenge to the men's 100-meter (T44) Paralympic champion Jonnie Peacock ahead of this weekend's BT Great CityGames in Manchester, suggesting the British athlete may not have it all his own way in front of home crowds.
The two will line-up over 100m on Saturday. "I think I can [beat him], but I'm going to have to prove that and back it up on the track," two-time Paralympic medalist Leeper said following the Desert Challenge last weekend.
"I feel like I am the faster runner, but he [Peacock] knows the 100m, and the 100m is quick, and Jonnie is very powerful. He's going to get out [the blocks] on me but I hope I have enough time to go catch him," Leeper said.
"I'm certainly going to be prepared to be really competitive."
Leeper, a double below the knee amputee, won bronze and silver in 200m and 400m T44 events in London where he says the crowds encouraged him to push his performances to new levels. He expects this weekend to be no different.
"I love coming to the UK – I loved running in London," said Leeper who last year equaled the 100m T43 world record with a time of 10.91. His mark is just 0.6 seconds slower than Peacock's T44 word record for single below the knee amputees, set at the 2012 U.S. Paralympic Trials Track and Field in Indianapolis.
"I ran seven races at the Paralympics in London and every race was sold out. You could feel the love and the energy from the crowd, so going back to the UK, I'm just so excited," added the 23 year-old.
Leeper is also buoyed by the chance to race at a free-to-spectate street meeting for the first time.
"I've watched so many of these street races on television," he said. "It's going to be pretty cool. The best place I've ever performed was the Paralympic Games in 2012, what with the atmosphere, but I think this might be pretty close to that as I know the crowds are going to be amazing."
Both men will be looking to make their mark at the Manchester city centre track. Peacock has not competed since his 100m T44 victory in the Olympic Park last September, whilst Leeper is looking to make amends for a disappointing performance in Arizona whilst coming back from a hamstring injury sustained while competing at the Kansas Relays.
They will line up against London 100m bronze medalist Arnu Fourie and Dutchman Ronald Hertog, the T44 javelin thrower turned sprinter.
Paralympic champion Alan Oliveira, who won the men's 200m (T44) in London, will also be in action over his favored distance against Fourie, who will double up over the sprints, American David Prince and German David Behre.
The BT Great CityGames Manchester will take place May 25 on an International Association of Athletics Federations certified, purpose built track and pop-up athletics arena in the city centre.
All events are free to spectators, with no tickets required for entry.

In November, Mozilla's Contributor Engagement team (the team I am on) worked hard to produce two MozCamp events on back-to-back weekends in Germany and Malaysia. Between MozCamp EU (Berlin) and MozCamp Asia (Kuala Lumpur), we gathered over 450 core contributors of the Mozilla project and shared lots of important information about the project, our goals, our challenges and what we're planning for 2012.

I want to take a moment to thank everyone who was involved in making our MozCamps in Berlin and KL successful. Specifically, I'd like to thank:
Havi Hoffman, Laura Forrest, Dave Berz, Zandr Milewski, Shyam Mani, Paul Rouget, Greg Jost, Lee Tom, Sean Martell, Atul Varma, Spencer Hui, Team Baked Goods and all participants & speakers for making the events as memorable as they were for everyone who participated.
Please enjoy a short video covering both MozCamp events.
The post-events presentation is available here:
We also have video of the presentation which is being edited and when I have it, I'll add it to this post.

The Creators Project: What got you started taking these large-format stereoscopic pictures, were you frustrated by the limits of such kinetic stuff getting stuck represented in 2 dimensions?
Sebastian Denz: The special thing about large formats is the incredible definition. This high quality is crucial because many people see 3D photography as some kind of funny gimmick. I wanted to show that it can be art as well. A lot of people say it looks super realistic and a lot of people say it looks totally artificial, which basically means it looks so realistic that it's on the verge of looking artificial, and therefore it works like an authentic hyper reality.
We like the way hyper reality sounds, but if we really think about it, we have no idea what it actually means.
We live in a more and more virtual world. There's some kind of software blinking on any cell phone's display, and I spend most of my lifetime behind my computer. My work is about skateboarding too, but I'm mostly using it to place an implicit emphasis on the relationship between virtual and real worlds. I believe these worlds mix more and more as we move into the future. I call my creations post-virtual spaces because they exist after the virtual, beyond it. These places that you get to viscerally enter through the pages of my books are hybrids to me that are neither artificial nor natural, but both simultaneously.
And your camera is the machine that transports us into these hybrid worlds. It looks like a piece of art itself, like something from a steampunk art show. Can you tell us a little about its guts?
Most of this camera could have been built 150 years ago because that's how long the technology of stereoscopic photography has been around. This is merely the modern side of it. I look through the lens of my camera and see the future through it. The future will be built by taking the best from old technologies and combining them with new ones. My laptop has a 3-D display that allows you to see stereoscopic images, that means you can visualize three-dimensional images without glasses.
The images in your book all have a lyrical, expansive quality, though they are shot over many locations. Was this something you were going for, or an unexpected result of the large format camera?
There's two kinds of pictures in there, on the one hand you have the tricks and then on the other hand the portraits. All the photos are laid out in a way that revolves around the person in the exact center of the frame. I took both kinds of each skater, but they don't necessarily appear together throughout the book. I didn't care that much about showing the most spectacular skate trick, but focused on finding rooms and locations that are intriguing beyond the tricks. I conceptualized the photos in a way so they work as both 2- and 3-dimensional images. If you put on the 3-D glasses the space opens up, and you get pulled in to it.
What drew you to skateboarding as a topic?
There's a lot of creativity within skateboarding. The skaters conquer an architectural space and infuse it with energy. The way skateboarders transform any environment into an emotionally charged space is what I find super intriguing. Skateboarding was the path that led me to design and eventually photography. The subversive character of skateboarding is deeply rooted inside me, and I try to include it in my all of my artwork.
Do you have any future projects you want to talk about?
I have lots of ideas and projects, and I'll definitely keep pursuing stereoscopic photography. I'll also stick to the large formats and possibly also go for moving images, as in filming videos. I'm pretty much done with skateboarding though. I'm currently constructing a new camera with my friend Dr. Gilde, that's like 80 percent completed by now. It'll be another analogue camera for large formats that will allow landscape frames as well. For content, I intend to further explore the concept of space in all its different dimensions. It's not only about the architectural concept of spaces, but also the emotional concept and the experiences involved.
How do you imagine the technology of tomorrow?
We already inhabit countless virtual worlds in our daily lives today. The virtual worlds and the real world will merge more and more, which will bring on transfer processes and what I like to call post virtual space. There's an incredibly strong blending which results in a kind of permanent hallucination, where you don't know any more what's real and what's not. I'm not judging that limbo between fantasy and reality, and I don't think it's bad at all. I look forward to living in it.
