"Sneaking" road development and climate change is rapidly making the Arctic more accessible to oil, gas and mineral exploration.
Tromsø, 13 August, 2002 - Sneaking road development and less sea ice in a warming climate has opened up vast formerly in-accessible land and sea corridors to industry, and may result in a new boom in Arctic exploration for oil, gas and minerals. The Arctic is the last remaining wilderness on Earth, but over 70% may be heavily disturbed by industry in less than 50 years. Wildlife and indigenous people are particularly vulnerable as they now face the combined threats of industrial development, pollutants and climate change, warn UN scientists at an Arctic Parliamentary Conference in Tromsø, Norway.
The Executive director of UNEP, Dr. Klaus Töpfer, presented some of the findings of a new report on Global Environmental Change prepared by UNEP together with several other UN agencies. The upcoming report presents scenarios for biodiversity, security and indigenous people across the globe as part of the new GLOBIO-project to help map the future consequences of human expansions.
Less sea ice due to a warming climate and a rapidly bit-by-bit expanding network has across the last 25 years now opened up large previously in-accessible parts of the Arctic to industrial exploration.
"The fact that the resources of the Arctic are of extreme importance and value for the outside world, but also that the Arctic's small population, numbering less than 4 million people, cannot reap the economic and social benefits from resource use, represent political and moral challenges. There are needs for new sustainable strategies in place to control this development", warns Topfer. "Many indigenous people and subsistence based communities still rely heavily on reindeer and caribou, and like the Saamiis, they may gradually lose more and more traditional land and their incomes as a result of this bit-by-bit development".
Mr. Svein Tveitdal, director at UNEP's Key Polar Centre, in Norway GRID-Arendal says: "Lack of strategic level planning of the expansion of the infrastructure network is one of the largest threats to sustainable development anywhere in the world. Many of the cumulative impacts on biodiversity and indigenous people could have been avoided if strategic plans had been made at regional scales. However, environmental regulations and governments focus on the individual development projects that often are individually insignificant, but collectively critical to the environment and indigenous people."
Climate change and road development is accelerating industrial development, and is becoming a combined threat to many indigenous people in the North. Examples include the Barents Sea and Northwestern Siberia, The Yukon territory and Alaska's North Slope. While heavy debate has been conducted on the fate of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, the expansion of the infrastructure network outside preserves in Alaska, Canada and Russia has been overlooked.
"Two corridors - one from the Athabascan Lake through the Mackenzie Delta in Yukon across the North Slope of Alaska, the other stretching from the Norwegian coast in the Barents Sea to the Yamal Peninsula, are both regions that are now becoming major entrance ports to the Arctic wilderness for mining and oil companies", says Dr. Christian Nellemann at GRID-Arendal, global co-coordinator for the GLOBIO-project.
Continued growth at current rates in infrastructure, gas, oil, and mineral extraction may, within 40-50 years, seriously impact wildlife populations and ecosystems across 50-80% of the Arctic. Migratory species, like birds, will carry the impacts with them far beyond the Arctic region. Furthermore, the cumulative impacts are likely to affect many of the indigenous cultures in the Arctic, which are depending upon natural resources for their traditional lifestyles.
Many chemicals released to air or water by activities in Europe and North America accumulate in the High North. Hazardous substances may lead to genetic defects, and may result in metabolic changes, reduced fertility, and cancer. Nervous systems and muscle functions may also be affected. All in all, such pollutants may seriously affect the health and welfare of entire Arctic communities.
The observed warmer climate with longer shipping seasons has lead to a considerable interest in the Northern Sea Route for transportation. Norway opened for natural gas and condensate production in the Barents Sea in 2002, and oil production north of the Kola Peninsula is currently underway.
The report points out, that while many of the larger oil companies may have strict environmental regulations, the secondary more uncontrolled bit-by-bit development of the road network associated with new economic activity is the one that produces the greatest impacts on indigenous people and wildlife through more increased access, recreational cabins, resorts, roads, power lines, hydro power dams and wind mills for local electricity supply, non-indigenous settlement and traffic.
Flora and fauna in an estimated 30% of the Barents Sea region is currently impacted by anthropogenic development, ranging from 49% in Norway to 13% in Russia. In less than 50 years, more than 90% may become impacted in this region, making these areas largely unsuitable for traditional reindeer husbandry.
The number of reindeer will have to be continuously reduced in an environment with decreasing ranges to avoid overgrazing. At the same time, they are also increasingly confronted with predator problems, as predators like wolves (Canis lupus) and wolverines (Gulo gulo) are protected according to international conventions, but extent of undisturbed areas for both reindeer and predators is rapidly declining.
The fragmentation of Arctic habitats may, at the levels of development predicted, seriously threaten biodiversity and ecosystem function. Considerable scientific research in the 1990s confirm that fragmentation of landscapes by infrastructure and related activities of human resource utilization (logging, farming, mineral extraction etc.) directly result in reduced productivity and survival of many species, and hence, in reduced species richness.
Terrestrial infrastructure development may also substantially affect aquatic systems not only by i.e. pollution, but also through increased shipping and resource extraction in sea and freshwater ecosystems. Stream and lake ecosystems are also affected through the building of dams, wetland drainage, channelization, and groundwater exploitation. This will impact fish, invertebrates, sea mammals, and other organisms through increased harvesting or disturbance. Infrastructure therefore causes impacts far beyond those effects directly induced by the physical footprint of the roads.

Meeting Description:
Linguistic Evidence 2012: Empirical, Theoretical, and Computational Perspectives
Hosted by the SFB 833 'The Construction of Meaning'
University of Tübingen, Germany
9th to 11th February 2012
The Linguistic Evidence conference series has since 2004 been a meeting place for linguists who wish to improve the empirical adequacy of linguistic theory and linguistic analysis. A central aim is to more closely integrate data-driven and theory-driven approaches to the study of language systems, language behaviour, and language functions. Interdisciplinary work in which linguistics cooperate with academics in adjacent fields is particularly welcome.
Special Session:
Language Change and Language Variation: Syntax, Semantics and Pragmatics
The field of historical linguistics is currently observing a process of renewal and reorientation. Whereas in the past diachronic linguists might be satisfied with descriptive studies, many researchers now aim to combine diachronic evidence with theoretical and methodological insights achieved in synchronic linguistics. Parallel developments can be observed in the related field of cross-linguistic variation. The conviction is gaining ground that diachronic and cross-linguistic data can provide firm evidence of the limits of possible human languages and may rank with psycholinguistic evidence and other sophisticated quantitative methods. In the light of these trends it is time to ask whether diachronic evidence and data from language variation can, subjected to detailed syntactic and semantic analysis, allow us to design an empirically adequate and theoretically founded perspective on language that integrates both syntactic and semantic variation and change.
Final Call for Papers:
Extended call deadline: 9th October 2011
We invite abstracts from all fields of linguistics which either:
a. apply data from linguistic corpora, psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic experimentation, language acquisition, language pathology, fieldwork, historical texts or other sources to linguistic issues;
b. make use of quantifiable or replicable evidence to produce novel analyses or perspectives on questions of the representation, processing, or acquisition of linguistic systems;
c. offer insights into promising new methods of data collection, processing, and analysis which may be of interest to researchers in language.
See also special session on Language Change and Language Variation.
We invite abstracts for 30+15 minute talks and also for poster presentations. Unless you specify otherwise in your abstract, we shall consider all submissions first as talks and then as posters. We will not normally accept more than two abstracts per person, and of these only one may be single-authored.
Abstracts should be no more than 3 pages long including data, graphics and references. They should have a 2.5cm margin on all sides, and should be written in at least 11 point Arial (or Helvetica or Nimbus Sans L or Liberation Sans) font.
Submission is being managed with EasyChair at:

Woman pleads guilty to animal cruelty
ATLANTA – A Hillman area woman pleaded guilty to a count of animal cruelty or abandonment and a count of killing or torturing animals after police took 37 dogs and six miniature horses from her property.
Jennifer Elen Tucker-Richard, 35, could spend four years in prison, do 500 hours of community service or pay a $5,000 fine for the two felony counts stemming from an incident in January when Montmorency County sheriff's deputies confiscated the animals. All were suffering from a lack of basic care, and had no food, drinkable water or proper shelter, according to a release from the department.
Tucker-Richard pleaded guilty to negligently allowing 10 or more animals to suffer unnecessary neglect torture or pain, as 26th Circuit Court Judge Michael Mack described the charge. She also pleaded guilty to committing a reckless act knowing, or having reason to know, that the act would cause an animal to be killed, tortured, mutilated or maimed. She likely will be ordered not to own or posess any animals following her sentencing on April 22.
Originally, Tucker-Richard stood mute on five charges, but changed her plea after her attorney, James Schmier, spoke with Montmorency County Prosecutor Terrie Case and Mack about a plea agreement. In exchange for her guilty plea, the court dropped an additional animal abandonment or cruelty charge, and two counts of using a computer to commit a crime.
Tucker-Richard admitted she was negligent in caring for the animals, telling the court she did know they were cold. One dog nearly froze to death due to the extreme temperatures on Jan. 24 and lack of provisions for the dog.
"Is it accurate to say that the weather was below zero?" Case asked Tucker-Richard.
"It was very cold," she replied.
While Tucker-Richard exposed the animals to conditions they shouldn't have been, she didn't torture them, Schmier said after the court proceedings. She has no criminal history, and was selling the dogs to make some money.
"This is not an evil lady, this is not Michael Vick. This is not somebody breeding pit bulls so they can kill each other," he said.
After being confiscated by police, the dogs were taken to Elk Country Animal Shelter and the horses were taken to a farm near Atlanta, shelter Director Pauline Hancock said. She had helped deputies take in the animals, and said in January that a number of the dogs were covered in feces, while others had blood on their paws from clawing apart roadkill deer they'd been given for food. Many had parasites, and some had skin conditions from the unsanitary conditions.
Since then, volunteers have cleaned and treated the dogs, Hancock said. The dog that nearly died of hypothermia has recovered, although some of the canines still have skin issues.
The shelter can now accept applications for adoptions for the dogs, and will start getting them spayed and neutered, Hancock said. There has been considerable interest in the dogs since the news broke in January, and many have donated to the shelter to help volunteers nurse them back to health.
"The community has really come forward and stepped up to help with their care in terms of monetary donations, supplies and food," she said.
The horses are being cared for by Second Chance Ranch and Rescue, a Boyne City-based horse rescue operation, Executive Director Pamela Graves said. Anyone interested in adopting them can visit www.secondchanceranchandrescue.com to fill out an application.

More information:2010 Earthquake in HaitiAbout the Author: Arturo Valenzuela serves as Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs.
Today marks six months since the devastating 7.0 earthquake hit Port-au-Prince on January 12, 2010. More than 230,000 people lost their lives, and hundreds of thousands suffered injuries. Buildings crumbled, ports were paralyzed, and economic growth reversed. Thirty-five seconds changed the face of the country.
Immediately, the international community responded. The largest urban food distribution alleviated hunger, and building materials were delivered to more than 1.5 million Haitians.
Overall, the Haitian government and international donor community have worked together and accomplished a great deal so far in the rebuilding. Haitian people's will, spirit, and determination have provided the backbone for their nation during this devastating period. Day in and day out since January 12, we have seen examples of the incredible resiliency of the people of Haiti. Their strength provides the impetus to develop Haiti into a country that meets its people's aspirations. The United States remains a proud and engaged partner, working alongside the international donor community, in the rebuilding of Haiti.
More than 140 nations were involved in the immediate humanitarian response effort, many from Latin America and the Caribbean. The strength and support the region provided, and continues to provide, Haiti has been invaluable and will be a vital part of realizing a better tomorrow. For example, Chile sent veteran search and rescue teams that were part of the international effort resulting in more than 130 lives saved. The Dominican Republic supported the people of Haiti, by providing overland routes of emergency humanitarian supplies, but also the evacuation of American citizens. Brazil was the first donor to commit funding to the Haiti Reconstruction Fund, a multi-donor trust fund. Together our goal is to maintain forward momentum in Haiti, rebuilding critical areas and reshaping the population centers of the country as envisioned by the Government of Haiti. To accomplish this goal, it is essential that the international donor community remain committed and that we closely coordinate our efforts.
On this six-month anniversary of the earthquake, we pause to remember and honor those who lost their lives, and the loved ones they left behind. The people of Haiti still need the help of the international community.
We must continue working to help Haiti realize its vision for its future.
The United States will remain a committed friend and partner to our neighbor, Haiti. As President Obama said, "America's commitment to Haiti's recovery and reconstruction must endure and will endure. This pledge is one that I made at the beginning of this crisis and I intend for America to keep our pledge. America will be your partner in the recovery and reconstruction effort."
I encourage you to watch a video that the State Department and USAID, in collaboration with other partners, created illustrating the struggle and rebuilding of Haiti.
Palgye in South Korea writes:
Haiti still has a lot of homeless are children. So, Haiti for the children of the homeless have a brick (I think the symbolism.) Haiti as a vacation leave to campaign, I think it is a good thing.
O.C. in the U.S.A. writes:
It was stated that only 10% of building rubble has been removed. I was wondering why we can't loan Haiti lots of rubble clearing machinery and unemployed heavy equipment operators to teach and train Haitians to get get the job done. If you put all of these men to work and teach them proper construction techniques, Haiti will have a dynamic future work force. Why does it take so long to get the job done?
Robert V.B. in California writes:
This is old news. We need facts to counter charges that Sen. Coburn et al are holding up significant aid to Haiti.

They signed the U.S.-Finland General Security of Information Agreement and discussed a number of shared foreign policy priorities, including the European economy, Syria, Iran and climate change.
Secretary Clinton said, "Finland and the United States continue to work together closely to pressure the Assad regime to provide humanitarian assistance to Syrian civilians bearing the brunt of the regime's brutal assault and to support the efforts of Joint Special Envoy Kofi Annan to prepare for a democratic transition that leads to a post-Assad Syria. And it is very much along those lines that I thanked the Minister for Finland's cooperation in the Friends of Syria working group on sanctions as well as in support of EU sanctions."
While in Finland, Secretary Clinton also delivered remarks at the Climate Clean Air Coalition and Green Embassy event. Secretary Clinton said, "This is an important announcement because, I think, as you heard, we have to continue to be creative as to how we move toward a sustainable environment and a sustainable economy. And I could not agree more with the ministers that they go hand in hand, and that's really the message that the Ambassador has also been delivering. We're looking for real solutions to real problems. And it's absolutely true that we have to continue to work within the international community, the UN framework, because we have to bring the entire world with us. But it's also true that on a national basis, and increasingly, on a regional and multilateral basis, we have to help lead the way for the world as well.
"And that's why it gives me great pleasure to officially welcome Finland as the newest partner of the Climate and Clean Air Coalition. This partnership was launched in February to reduce those short-lived climate pollutants, including the methane, black carbon, hydrofluorocarbons that are responsible for more than 30 percent of current global warming and have a disproportionate impact on the Arctic for a variety of reasons, but in particular because of the hastening of the melting of the ice."
Secretary Clinton concluded, "So I'm excited to welcome you into this coalition, looking forward to working closely with you, and I think it's fair to say that we see clean energy, clean tech as the future not only for Finland and for the United States, but really the future for the kind of world we're trying to create."

Syria -
Syria, I still, by an internal coup d'etat to establish a democratic government suggests.
If external forces, military forces in support of democracy jijihamyeon directly, many victims are likely to occur, your likely to be a threat to political life, i think. Number of deaths in the press announced that the voters of the 10 times, and add this to the opposite political forces are likely to think.
PS Korea is being produced in Iran for oil, except from embargoed countries, but EU transport crude oil to South Korea, for denial of insurance and, in fact, been banned imports, and What is South Korea's export products are also under threat. Even in Korea, produced by the Iranian government to stop importing products that are threatening Iran.
My comments on Iran,
Long story short, What is very underrated, very attractive market, I think. U.S. products, exports to the country think it is looking for.
Unlike the situation in Brazil, but opposed by all the investors and sponsors, but they too, was successful. Because the presidential election tomorrow, the risk, but my opinion, my opinion, to agree on the forces inside Iran think there will be more likely to occur. Among the leaders .... Perhaps, until now, the leaders made policy, they believe that to be a burden. Once again, when your consideration please.

Hi Palgye,
Good to see you're still adding imput.
It may be as you say, although I am reminded that every coin has three sides, and often the edge is neglected, gone forgotton.
At the moment Syria is like a coin on a glass table-top having been flicked with one's finger to spin like a top on its edge, and everyone knowing it's going to land on one side or another eventually when it topples over, as the probabilities of finding stability on its edge in the face of gravity is astronomicaly small.
Thus one may find corrolarey in the probabilities of Assad's government surviving on the edge, as it were.
And whether he is toppled via internal or external means is a matter of whether that coin he represents ends up heads up, or tails up...he's still got a choice in the matter at this point to halt the spin out of control into the abyss of violence.
But Assad appears to be caught up in his own psycotic reasoning and isn't listening to anyone at this point.
The wild card in all this is that Assad's regime has one of the largest stockpiles of chemical munitions in the world, and it would be somewhat similar to what folks would worry about if this were going on in North Korea and folks were wondering who was in control of the nukes and other WMD's in their arsenal.
It may be Palgye, that while the risk of civilian casualties from an external "regime replacement therapy" engaged by external forces in Syria is not negligible, it may be that those casualties would seem negligable compared to what very well could happen if no one was willing to remove Assad by force, and he used those WMD's on his own people. In the face of the regime's increasing use of heavy weaponry and a max effort by conventional means to "pacify" his people he calls "terrorists", such a scenario is not only quite possible, such an act will compel nations to act to preserve their national security and the region's stability as a whole.
Thus, the question of "pre-emption" arises, as to the inherant risks involved in waiting too long to act to prevent massive numbers of civilian casualties which now total right around a thousand per week consisantly as it is.
I once mentioned sending a 32 trillion dollar (US) bill for the last 32 years of chants of "death to America" being held by the Iranian government every Friday at prayers...what kind of bill do you suppose the Syrian people might send Iran after all is said and done for their assistance to Assad in destroying Syria and causing untold human suffering?
The Mullahs too, are living on the edge and face a choice.

All will agrees Mr Eric`s words. However, our information about Syria, to know more, i think. Systems in the U.S. presidential election.If, when outside forces intervene directly, using terrorism, attacks on the United States goes ahead to think of the possibilities.

@ Palgye,
(chuckle) Rude? You? No way man! You're one of the most polite folks on Dipnote.
Now myself on the other hand...I'm certainly no diplomat. And if evber hired by the US dept of State as an FSO, would probably be fired five minutes later for offering such rude and accurate analysis as this;
Re; Russia and China's major malfunction of understanding;
In diplo-speak, I just assume it got published here because in all its rudeness, it may simply be taken to be a "very strongly worded analysis" on the subject of "sovreignity" issues.
(That would be putting it mildly, and it is somewhat curious to me that just about every time I post something rude like this, Madam Secretary goes and has a chat with Mr. Lavrov soon therafter...(chuckle).
I'm not worried about the US facing some "terrorist" retribution should we play a part in any international humanitarian intervention that removes Assad simply because it will be by the Syrian people's request to intervene on their behalf.
Russia on the other hand may wish to think about the long term ramifications of arming assad and those munitions, tanks, and gunships being used by Assad to kill Syrians with, and ask themselves if they are simply asking for trouble by doing so, as they foster the long-term enmity of the Syrian people by "honoring contracts" with the regime.

thunderbolt isn't it.
Advanced Micro Devices, the second largest supplier of x86 microprocessors on the globe and the designer of half of the world's discrete graphics adapters, said that Intel Corp.'s recently introduced Thunderbolt input/output technology will become just another proprietary standard with not a lot of chances to be adopted widely. The chip designer also doubted that the TB actually brings any tangible improvements.
"Existing standards offer remarkable connectivity and together far exceed the 10Gb/s peak bandwidth of Thunderbolt. These solutions meet and exceed the bandwidth utilization of many peripherals," a spokesperson for AMD said.
AMD did not take part in the development of Thunderbolt technology and therefore will not be able to support it natively in the foreseeable future. In addition, the company does not see a lot of prospects for Thunderbolt in the short-term future as it does not substantially outperform current generation I/O technologies and sometimes even offers lower bandwidth. Coupled with the lack of devices that really take advantage of extreme throughput and the fact that Thunderbolt is a proprietary tech for now, the situation does not seem to be good for the interconnection.
"The DisplayPort1.2 standard offers up to 17Gb/s of peak bandwidth for displays. [...] Many AMD-based platforms support USB 3.0 which offers 4.8Gb/s of peak bandwidth, AMD natively supports SATA 6Gb/s with our 8-series chipsets. [Meanwhile], the total bandwidth stated for a Thunderbolt channel is only 20% higher than one PCI Express 3.0 lane and about 52% higher than a single USB 3.0 port," claimed the official for AMD.
The designer of graphics processors also pointed out that Thunderbolt uses the mini DisplayPort connector and that the solution [when actually utilized] essentially reduces bandwidth available for displays connected to the mDP port. For example, AMD recently announced a multi-stream technology with the Radeon HD 6800-series graphics cards that enables a single cable to link multiple displays for additional display flexibility employing AMD Eyefinity technology. Essentially, this multi-display tech if implemented into a laptop, will not be compatible with TB.
"Employing Thunderbolt in the DisplayPort connector implementation decreases the bandwidth available for DisplayPort reducing the bandwidth available for various multi-display configurations," stated the company.
Although manufacturers of external hard disk drives, such as Seagate Technologies and Western Digital, do support Thunderbolt and plan to introduce HDDs featuring the interconnector later this year, it is clear that only high-speed solid-state drives will be able to actually utilize 10Gb/s of bandwidth. In fact, there are generally no devices - apart from external graphics processors - that can use 10Gb/s of bandwidth over the PCI Express protocol. Moreover, graphics cards actually require more than 10Gb/s. All-in-all, the actual market prospects of Thunderbolt seem rather gloomy.
"Consumers generally benefit by having standard, high-speed ports available on their mobile devices. Proprietary ports, or the requirement of a dongle to employ those industry-standard ports may be an obstacle to consumers having the full computing experience at home or on the road," assumed the official for AMD.
Previously known as Light Peak, Thunderbolt technology supports two low-latency communications protocols - PCI Express for data transfer and DisplayPort for displays. Thunderbolt technology works on data streams in both directions, at the same time, so users get the benefit of full bandwidth in both directions, over a single cable. With the two independent channels, a full 10Gb/s of bandwidth can be provided for the first device in the chain of the devices. All Thunderbolt technology devices share a common Mini DisplayPort connector. Intel's Thunderbolt controllers interconnect a PC and other devices, transmitting and receiving packetized traffic for both PCIe and DisplayPort protocols and thus makers need to develop or use additional controllers to make their products compatible with the TB I/O interface.
Intel claims that the adoption rate of the new I/O technology will not be considerably limited. Still, it is aimed currently at professionals rather than on typical consumers.
"The combination of the very fast data transfer and beyond-HD display support on a single slender cable has great appeal for HD media creators, especially who work on laptops. Those same features also solve the big challenges posed by the growing HD media libraries many of us now own," a spokesman for Intel said last week.

Arc of Marshall County — helping those with disabilities live a full life
This is the Arc of Marshall County's 51th year as a United Way agency. The Arc of Marshall County is a volunteer advocate and support group that exists to ensure that people with intellectual and developmental disabilities receive the services, supports and opportunities necessary to fully realize their right to live, work and enjoy life in the community without discrimination.
Geographically, the Arc of Marshall County covers all of Marshall County however, 95 percent of the approximately 150 participants are from Marshalltown. Marshalltown and the surrounding areas has been a leader in developing special programs and opportunities since its formation and works with individuals and organizations in a collaborative fashion. Administration of the Arc of Marshall County and associated activities is primarily through volunteers and approximately 500 hours of volunteer time are used each year.
Activities sponsored by the Arc of Marshall County fill a need of many individuals with disabilities to participate in activities with their peers, whether at the school age or adult level. We support three major programs; a summer program for school age children, a three day summer camp and a weekly activity for adults.
Without participating in a stimulating environment over the summer, children can regress from the progress they made during the previous school year. Therefore, Arc of Marshall County provides an eight-week recreation based summer day camp that allows children an opportunity for a wide range of activities and field trips. This activity, called Camp Marshalltown, is co-sponsored with Marshalltown Parks & Recreation. The Marshalltown Community school system also cooperates with a very flexible policy concerning the use of their wheelchair vans and buses, to allow those with severe disabilities to participate. Also, the program is based in one of the Marshalltown school buildings.
Arc also sponsors a three-day summer camp at Pilgrim Heights that allows adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to experience many typical camping activities such as fishing, crafts, camp fire, hayride and paddle boats.
Additionally for adults, we provide a recreational opportunity nearly every Wednesday night throughout the year. These activities are assisted in part by private donations, donations from local businesses, the Salvation Army, Park & Rec, UAW, Marshalltown School District and many others. Typical participation each week is 90-120 people. Some of the weekly activities included swimming at the Marshalltown Aquatic Center, dinner outings at Hy-Vee or Zeno's, a summer bus trip to Adventureland, an I-Cubs game, or the Iowa State Fair, Iowa/Iowa State Tailgate Party, dancing, fishing, bowling and softball games to name a few.
Arc of Marshall County is dependent on the United Way and all parts of our program would cease without their support, since these services would not be in the scope of other agencies. We remain committed to improving the quality of life for Iowans with intellectual and developmental disabilities. If you would like additional information regarding programs or activities you can contact Arc of Marshall County at 641-751-2144.

DELAWARE, Ohio — Fast-growing Delaware County is planning to finance up to $13.7 million to pay for improvements to the county sewer system to allow even more homes to be built.
New sewer lines will be built along Sawmill Parkway, north of Home Road, which is in the Olentangy school district. New homes are in demand in the area, said Jim Hilz, executive director of the Building Industry Association of Central Ohio.
"There's a market demand out there," Hilz said, "and sewer is very important to being able to build the kind of homes that people want to live in, in the school district they want to live in."
The association lobbied county officials to expand the sewer system and completed a study showing that a new sewer system would improve the county's economy.
Hilz said a new sewer line north of Home Road on Sawmill Parkway would generate about $17 m illion in fees paid to tap into the system, and another $9 million in private investment in sewer lines leading to developments.
Teri Morgan, Delaware County spokeswoman, said the county would issue the bonds next week. Some of the money will also be used to get the empty and unused Lower Scioto Water Reclamation Facility, a sewage-treatment plant outside of Dublin, in working order. The county built the plant about four years ago to handle waste water from subdivisions a developer planned to build nearby. The houses were never built, though, and the treatment plant hasn't been used.
Morgan said some of the money from the bonds would be used to get the plant ready "so it can go online when the development starts."

Problems? Maybe We Can Help
Most of the time, business aviation makes air travel painless and trouble-free. That's what you're paying for and that's why you love it.
But once in a while, things go wrong. Perhaps your charter flight left two hours late, causing you to miss a key meeting, and now you want your money back. Or maybe your jet card operator is double-billing you for catering or consistently failing to deliver the promised level of service. Or your fractional provider is refusing to buy back your share according to the terms in your contract.
In such cases, you have three options. The first is to deal with the situation yourself (good luck). The second is to hire a business aviation attorney/consultant to represent you, which can be effective but expensive. The third way–a new option–is to contact Business Jet Traveler.
As part of BJT's ongoing effort to help maximize readers' investment in private air transport, we'll go to bat for you with charter brokers and operators, aircraft manufacturers, FBOs, caterers and virtually anyone else in business aviation with whom you have a problem or dispute. We'll keep your name confidential if you'd prefer (though we may publish a report about the matter that lacks identifying details). Best of all, we won't charge you a penny.
Just send us a letter or e-mail describing the issue in as much detail as possible and telling us what resolution you seek. Be sure to provide contact information for people and companies involved and, if necessary, copies of supporting documents.
We can't promise that we'll see things your way: There are at least two sides to every story (and sometimes three or four) and the consumer isn't always right. But we can promise to investigate and objectively analyze the situation and then do what we can to help resolve it.
You can reach us at email@example.com or at Ombudsman, Business Jet Traveler, 214 Franklin Ave., Midland Park, NJ 07432. We'll acknowledge receipt of your communication and get right on the case.

Share Your Reflection

Thank you for framing this discussion on the torture
Thank you for framing this discussion on the torture issue with tempered reason and compassion.
As a recovering survivor of "homegrown" torture, firstly inflicted by a violent rapist and followed up- as a "disciplinary action"- by my ignorant, punitive parents, I know how just how gravely serious the imposition of silence can be. If the initial physical, mental, emotional and spiritual abuse doesn't kill you, the silence and aversion of others, unwilling to see the damage done, surely will.Very painfully and slowly. Blaming the victim who speaks out is still standard operating procedure in America.
Sincere thanks to Ms. Tippett and Mr.Rejali for shining the light of lucidity upon a topic which all too often stirs up hysteria and denial in both torturers and their victims, alike.

Thank you for this program, and thank you also to
Thank you for this program, and thank you also to mockymur for a well stated expression of the value in a conversation on torture. I agree entirely that either blaming a victim or simply 'not hearing' statements of trauma experience (denial) is common.
As the program neared its end my thoughts turned to a broader form of cultural practices that I believe is related - that is our treatment of food animals during their lives and at slaughter, and also our treatment of animals for other commercial purposes such as cosmetics. For the most part all this is out of sight, out of mind. But I cannot help but imagine what it is like to be a worker who works directly with these animals. Surely they cannot do their work without shutting down their innate sense of compassion. How dreadful that those of us who do not have these forms of employment somewhat mindlessly enjoy the products that come from these processes. The workers 'shut their hearts' to what is happening to the animals, and the rest of us 'shut our hearts' to what is happening to both the workers and the animals! I have extensive farm experience with animals and a clear knowledge of their response to stress, their capacity to demonstrate confusion and very great discomfort in anticipation of something they do not understand, especially if the scent of blood is involved, i.e. dehorning cattle. (After 20 years raising livestock, I was unable to send livestock off to commercial feedlots and eventual slaughter because I knew the conditions there. I no longer farm.)
I do not want to detract from the most supreme type of torture - human on human, but I believe we begin learning at a very early age to shut down the part of us that is spontaneously horrified by abuse. I have also been a teacher of young children. I have many years observation of their natural inclination toward compassion, and their discomfort when injustice, or more noticeable unkindness, comes to their attention. From my observation when children witness power (adults) creating pain or injustice, they begin to develop vague fears for their personal safety. They may say nothing, but it shows on their faces. This includes adult attitudes toward animals. Children are - without much direct prompting - forced to 'adjust' and learn to swallow the innate impulse to compassion because the entire adult culture has learned to do the same and no longer gives it any thought. Childhood awareness of this kind of suffering continues, and perhaps one can say 'hearts shut down' at least in this one significant way.
Perhaps something as seemingly innocuous as broad cultural acceptance of non-human abuse leads a percentage of individuals - over time - to accept even the most extreme forms of torture such as discussed on the program. We learn to shut down our inner compassion long enough to concur or participate, or we say it was 'unfortunately necessary', or we say it was deserved, or we teach ourselves not to think about something so dreadful, or we fear consequences of piping up in protest.
A huge topic, one at the very heart of our human self-understanding.
Thank you.

"Only in a state of great powerlessness, weakness, fear,
"Only in a state of great powerlessness, weakness, fear, and anxiety does the idea of justified torture sound even remotely reasonable to an otherwise good and moral man"
I will never forget the life example, or these wise words of an old friend of my fathers who lead several hundred British and Australian men he helped escape from Japanese work camps (through the Burmese jungle to India and freedom) to return by boat to England during the second world war. "Like the death penalty", he said, "the simple fact of the matter is that when you actually see men who have been starved, tortured, or killed, you no longer have any stomach for even thinking about doing it ever again....

Primo Levi worked tirelessly to develop lesson plans on the Holocaust for secondary
schools. He somehow guessed that this terrible moment in human history would soon
enough fade from the public consciousness...
The way we cause character, virtue, values to be internalized in our youth is seriously
flawed. It is a miracle in itself that conscience is able to flourish as well as it does.

On the women's side, the U.S. team of Jennifer Kessy (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.) and April Ross (Costa Mesa, Calif.) finished fifth while Lauren Fendrick (Carlsbad, Ind.) and Brooke Hanson (Ventura, Calif.) place seventh.
For the third straight tournament, Gibb (Bountiful, Utah) and Rosenthal (Redondo Beach, Calif.), seeded No. 3, faced Brazil's top-seeded Emanuel Rego and Alison Cerutti in a World Tour grand slam final. However, unlike the past two tournaments, Gibb and Rosenthal fell on Saturday, 21-17, 15-21, 15-11 in 46 minutes.
"We've had a good tournament," Gibb said. "They played better than us, so good for them. We now have one more, big tournament next week in Klagenfurt so hopefully we will do well then."
Gibb and Rosenthal share $29,500 for the second-place finish.
Gibb and Rosenthal reached the gold medal match by defeating Poland's No. 15 Mariusz Prudel and Grzegorz Fijalek, 21-18, 21-14 in 42 minutes in the semifinals on Saturday. Gibb and Rosenthal are scheduled to play next at the
On the women's side, No. 4 Kessy and Ross opened Saturday with a second-round victory over Germany's No. 7 Sara Goller and Laura Ludwig, 13-21, 21-18, 15-13 in 57 minutes.
But in the third round, Kessy and Ross fell to Italy's No. 5-seeded Greta Cicolari and Marta Menegatti, 22-20, 19-21, 17-19 in 1 hour and 3 minutes.
Fendrick and Hanson lost in the second round to Brazil's No.23-seeded Angela Vieira and Liliane Maestrini, 21-19, 16-21, 15-9-in 55 minutes.
U.S. beach volleyball teams will move on to Klagenfurt, Austria on July 16-22 for the $600,000 A1 Grand Slam. The tournament will be the last FIVB event before the 2012 Olympic Games in London.

The full-cut panties also boast soft elasticized lace at the waist and leg openings for added comfort and style. Cotton-lined crotch. Machine wash and dry. Imported.

Rated 4.3 out of 5Â by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Planter Soft Pretty Panties I was shopping for some nice, soft,, pretty, good quality panties. A VCS sales associate suggested that I try the Olga Secret Hug panties. She also told me that a couple of men had favorable comments about these panties. So, I decide to try these panties. I was pleasantly pleased at how soft and comfortable these panties felt.The panties have plenty of material to fit a men's anatomy.The nylon is light weight and feels warm to the skin.The lace waist band and leg openings are non-binding and lays flat(no rolls). The lace adds a nice feminine touch.The gusset has a generous amount of material, about 3 inches wide. The modest rise,10 inches on size 8 panties provides plenty of coverage without showing the panties above the top of the pants.These panties remain soft and retain their shape after several washings. These are nice panties that men as well as women will enjoy wearing. I recommend these panties for both men and women. June 13, 2015

Subtle grey and pastel blue come together in a classic pattern for this studio essential.
Take a step back in time with a high-quality modern vintage backdrop representing the timeless look and feel of past eras.
Exclusive designs.
Patterns are developed exclusively by Westcott and custom-designed to purposely be large in size. This results in the pattern being more visible to the camera.
Ultra versatile.
Change the overall appearance of these Modern Vintage backdrops with simple lighting techniques. Use high-key lighting for detailed, vibrant patterns. Low-key lighting mutes the background for a more subtle effect. Easily vignette your background with a background light to capture a more dramatic shot. The options are endless.
Seamless design.
Forget about removing unappealing seams from your portraits during post-production. Modern Vintage backdrops are seamless for easier editing.
Only the best fabrics.
For over 112 years, Westcott has been working with the best fabric mills worldwide. These fabrics are custom produced to represent the highest quality available and embossed in a thick velour to ensure years of quality.
Included lint cloth.
Due to the thickness and quality used on our embossed velour, certain clothing that has a tendency to "shed" may leave lint on the backdrop. For this reason, all of our modern vintage backdrops include a free lint cleaning cloth specifically designed to quickly and easily remove unwanted lint.
Wrinkle resistant.
We have carefully chosen our material to reflect a wrinkle resistant fabric. Simply hang your backdrop using the included pole pocket and the weight of the fabric will pull most unwanted wrinkles out right away. If heavy wrinkles still exist, simply steam the backside of the background paying special attention to not over moisten or "overheat" the embossed velour.
Pole pocket.
Each backdrop incorporates a pole pocket for easy hanging.
No reflections.
Many embossed fabrics naturally have a reflection due to the manufacturing process. At Westcott, we have developed a system to remove unwanted reflections from this process leaving the background with a matte finish. This matte finish ensures perfect results when lighting the backdrop. Reflections can cause difficulty in lighting the backdrop, loss of background detail and unwanted highlights.

Disappointment And Hope On County Home
Even as the Chautauqua County Legislature rejected an immediate sale of the County Home this past week, it left open a glimmer of hope that the facility can still be sold.
We applaud those who voted in support of the sale. They understand that under the restrictions in New York state there is no way to make the home financially solvent. These legislators realize that selling the home will protect the jobs and services provided by the facility for the long term, that privatizing the home would create new tax revenue at a time when our community desperately needs it, and will be a good start toward reducing the tax burden for all Chautauqua County property taxpayers.
In the same evening that some members of the Legislature turned down an opportunity to support private investment, they also voted to appropriate $692,000 from the unreserved fund balance to pay the local share of a Medicaid Inter Governmental Transfer contract to the County Home. These are local taxpayer dollars that are being used to offset a deficit in the County Home operating fund. We find it rather confusing that some of our legislators talk about the need to lower taxes, yet when presented the opportunity to do something concrete, they then they vote to continue to fund a government-operated entity that is losing money.
A 16 to 9 vote (a majority but not the two-thirds majority required) was just one vote shy of accepting a $16.5 million contract from Altitude Health Systems to purchase the facility and maintain it as a privately-run nursing home. The proposal would have protected the existing jobs, maintained the needed service to patients and families, and created new and important tax revenue for Chautauqua County.
Taken at face value the vote is a disappointment for the Chamber/MAST, which have been strongly advocating for privatization of the County Home. Yet we also find a glimmer of hope from Wednesday night's meeting with approval of a simple resolution that required lawmakers to say either 'yes' or 'no' declaring their intention to sell the Home at all. The vote was 18 to 6 – one more than the necessary super-majority, lined up on the side of selling the County Home. We applaud those legislators that supported this resolution and their willingness to keep the door open to private investment.
Based on that vote alone, the County must continue to put a deal together with a buyer for the County Home. As the County Home loses $225,000 in the next 30 days, we hope the members of the legislature who voted not to sell the home to Altitude Health Systems have some sense of desperation to complete a deal. It is incumbent now on our elected leaders to make that happen, for the good of all taxpayers in Chautauqua County as well as for the long term good of the employees and those receiving care at the County Home.
Major League Fishing To Showcase Lake
Chautauqua Lake is getting national television exposure this winter, as Jack Link's Major League Fishing rolls out new episodes each Thursday night on the Outdoor Channel. The Summit Cup series, filmed on Chautauqua Lake last August, will culminate with the championship episode featured on NBC on Saturday, Feb. 9. All local residents are invited to watch that event with some of the local participants during a Major League Fishing watch party at Bellini Lounge in Chautauqua Suites.

This is the second televised event for Major League Fishing, a partnership between Outdoor Channel and 24 of the world's best anglers.

Medford School District Celebrates Completion of Education Center & Bond Projects
Today, Medford School District officials held a dedication ceremony to mark the completion of its Education Center at 815 S. Oakdale Ave., adjacent to Central Medford High School. They also celebrated the completion of a 6-year project to modernize district facilities and make them cost effective for the next 20 to 50 years. The Education Center represents that most complete transformation of the group.
District offices from around town consolidated at the location upon the move of South Medford High to their new campus on Cunningham Avenue. It's estimated that consolidation of district offices will save about $300,000 per year. Funding came from a $189 million bond measure that voters approved in 2006.
