Call for Submissions: Panini Award 2011
E-mail this message to a friend
The Panini Award 2011 (Deadline: December 31st 2010)
At the 9th Biennial Conference in Hong Kong (July 21-24 2011), the
Association for Linguistic Typology will award its second Panini prize, for
a grammar passed as a dissertation between January 1st 2007 and December
31st 2010. The Panini award was established to encourage and honour
achievements in the field of documenting the world's linguistic diversity
through the writing of reference grammars. To be eligible, a grammar must
provide a systematic, accessible, comprehensive, original, insightful and
typologically well-informed account of the workings of the language being
described, generously exemplified with natural data. Though the normal
expectation is that it would deal with a hitherto little-described
language, outstanding grammars of better-known languages or dialects
thereof may also be considered if they achieve major breakthroughs in a
comprehensive understanding of the language. Grammars may be written in any
major language, subject to the availability of a sufficient and
geographically balanced set of jury members able to read the language. In
order to be eligible for the prize, the author must be a member of ALT.
Entries will be judged by a committee of half-a-dozen or more distinguished
linguists, including a number of judges who have themselves written major
reference grammars but also typologists and other categories of
grammar-readers. The chair for the 2011 award will be Keren Rice.
Entries are normally submitted as a PDF file with embedded fonts. The
deadline for submission is December 31st, 2010. Any questions about
submissions should be directed to the chair.
Prize winners for the Panini award will receive a paid fare to and
accommodation and registration at the ALT conference in Hong Kong, as well
as a collection of reference grammars and other works donated by major
publishers in the area. They will also present a plenary lecture setting
out the typologically most interesting aspects of the language.
The address for submissions for the 2011 Panini award is:

Footprint Network Blog - 08/2014
Spreading the Word on Earth Overshoot Day 2014
Media outlets around the world helped share the news of Earth Overshoot Day this year, and thanks to countless partners and supporters, a conversation about our planet's ecological deficit also took off on social media.
Earth Overshoot Day is an annual observance meant to bring attention to the risks of humanity's growing ecological deficit. This year, August 19 marked the date when humanity exhausted nature's budget for the entire year.
Highlights of Earth Overshoot Day 2014 media coverage included articles in Le Monde in France, El Mundo in Spain, and the Brasil Post in Brazil. Earth Overshoot Day also made the front page of La Stampa in Italy for the second year in a row. An online article in The Guardian in the UK generated 92 comments. In Switzerland, a Q&A with Bruno Oberle, director of the Swiss Ministry of Environment, was featured on the ministry's website.

What do Switzerland and China Have in Common?
Did you know the Chinese province of Guizhou in southwest China bears some striking resemblance to Switzerland? I confess I didn't, until I was invited to Guizhou last month to speak at Eco-Forum Global. Since 2009, this annual conference gathers participants from around the world to share knowledge about policies regarding green economic transformation and ecological security. This year I spoke on a finance panel led by the chief economist of Bank of China, Ma Jun, and a panel organized by the Sino-Swiss Dialogue.
Just like Switzerland, Guizhou is landlocked and boasts a mountainous landscape. It is one of two provinces in China that President Xi Jinping declared to be testing grounds for China's new focus on "eco-civilization" and the "China dream."

quote hiigaranThanks for the heavy tip. Never quite figured out a way to take one out without hurling several C4 charges at them before unloading an entire magazine from an assault rifle. The knife also works, but you'll sustain a lot of damage.nah, the rpg is too cumbersome. get a recurve bow, and craft explosive arrows for it. two hits on a heavy, and he is dead. fast rate of fire, and with the marksmans sights on the bow, you can accurately hit guys from afar, without giving away your position.
used to like the ACE myself, but the bushman was more useful. i just hate the scope on it. i prefer the red dot sight.
whats the difference, anyway? well, aside from the other scope being more annoying to use over the red dot.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton delivered remarks at the Swearing-In Ceremony for U.S. Ambassador to China Gary Locke on August 1, 2011. Secretary Clinton said:
"It goes pretty much without saying, but I will say it anyway, that our relationship with China is an extraordinarily important one that we think has a great substance to it and a great deal to what kind of future we will enjoy together in the 21st century. We are two complex, large nations with different histories and different political systems, but we know the importance of getting to know one another better, working together, solving problems together, and that is what we have been committed to doing.
"And I am confident that we have the right person in Gary Locke to follow through on the commitment made by President Obama and President Hu Jintao to a positive, cooperative, and comprehensive relationship. Gary is going to Beijing at a time when there will be a lot of work for us to do to follow up on with the Strategic and Economic Dialogue, that there will be many difficult issues and challenges to face. But I know that Gary is more than ready to tackle that."
She continued, "...[T]hink about the story that Gary takes with him, the son of an immigrant family from China who didn't learn to speak English until he started school, whose grandfather came to the United States from China in the 1890s and worked as a house servant in return for English lessons, whose father and mother worked in their mom-and-pop grocery seven days a week, 365 days a year, so their five children would have better lives. The Locke family understood what the American dream meant. They knew that it was an opportunity and not a guarantee, and that they had to do their part to be able to take advantage of what this country offered.
"And Gary did -- an honor student, an Eagle Scout, scholarships, all kinds of experiences at Yale and getting his law degree at Boston University, and then returning to Washington to become a state representative and a county executive of King County and a two-time governor of Washington State, until recently, when he became our Secretary of Commerce.
"And Gary's hard work didn't just help his family. He helped improve the lives of the people of Washington and of the United States. He was a great job creator in Washington during two national recessions. He has helped to lead our efforts to increase U.S. exports. He has brought the Census in on time and under budget, an unheard of accomplishment. He's brought comprehensive patent reform legislation closer to passage than it has in decades. And there's just so much else that can be pointed to in such a history of distinction in his many public service responsibilities. And now, he becomes the first Chinese American to represent the United States as ambassador in Beijing."
In closing, she said, "...I know it's not easy, but I believe you're going to have an amazing experience, and I know how much it will mean to the people of China to meet all of you as well."
After taking the oath, Ambassador Locke delivered remarks as well. He said, "I'm really deeply humbled and honored to become the next United States ambassador to the People's Republic of China. And I'd like to thank President Obama, Secretary Clinton, the United States Senate, for their support, their confidence, and their trust in me. I also want recognize and thank Charge d'Affaires Deng from the People's Republic of China, and many other friends and colleagues who are here today. With my family -- my wife Mona and our children Emily, Dylan, and Madeline -- we're excited to have this opportunity to serve the President and the people of the United States of America.
"The United States and China have a profoundly important and complex diplomatic, economic, and strategic bilateral relationship -- one with challenges, no question, but one which also holds great promise for extended cooperation and collaboration. I look forward to working with the Chinese Government to fulfill that promise, but more importantly, to build the positive, cooperative, and comprehensive relationship that President Obama and President Hu have agreed that our two countries should aspire to. We are already seeing examples of how this future can play out as our businesses and our governments collaborate to tackle some of the world's most pressing challenges. And I fully intend to support our ongoing bilateral and cooperative efforts on a host of critical international issues from climate change to the search for new, cleaner sources of energy, to stopping the proliferation of nuclear weapons and materials, and to promote new areas of collaboration.
"It's been my good fortune over the past decade to have had the opportunity to visit and meet with many Chinese Government officials and private sector executives in support of greater commercial cooperation and market access for U.S. goods and services. I look forward to continuing this dialogue, creating win-win scenarios for both of our countries, because American businesses and workers can help China meet its goals of modernization as well as improving the quality of life for the Chinese people, all at the same time creating jobs here at home for workers of America.
"In those sensitive areas where America and China have differences or serious disagreement, I will work to keep the lines of communication open, to convey the Administration's positions clearly, and to engage with Chinese Government officials at the highest levels. At the same time, I hope to do more to communicate directly with the Chinese people to improve understanding between our two great nations.
"I firmly believe improved U.S.-China cooperation is critically important, not just for our own two countries but for the world community. As a child of Chinese immigrants growing up in the State of Washington, having the opportunity to represent America, the land of my birth, and to represent American values was surely beyond any dream I could possibly have. And I can only imagine just how proud my dad, Jimmy, who passed away in January, would be for his son to be the first Chinese American to represent the United States in the land of his and my mother's birth. It may be cliche to say only in America, but in this case and for this role, it is both profoundly true and profoundly important. It is America and America's promise as a land of freedom, equality, and opportunity that I will represent when serving the President and the American people as the United States ambassador to China."

R.T. writes:
the role of Clinton and her views are very encouraging towards improving relationship between US and China ,as we know both nation are set path for future peace.

Stock Futures Flat After Jobless Claims Data
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- U.S. stock futures were trading near the flat line Wednesday after domestic weekly initial jobless claims came in as expected and as discussions on Greece hit an impasse
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were down 3 points, or 6.96 points below fair value, at 12,756. Futures for the S&P 500 were up 1.29 points, or 3.36 points above fair value, at 1387. Futures for the Nasdaq were up 2 points, or 1.12 points above fair value, at 2595.
The major U.S. equity averages closed mixed Tuesday, paring losses that followed in the wake of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke weighing in on the fiscal cliff.
Eurozone finance ministers, the International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank failed at their meeting this week to reach a consensus on how Greece could achieve debt sustainability and a lowering of the financing gap of €14 billion through 2014; they were aiming for an agreement to be reached before unlocking additional financial aid for Greece.
Talks are scheduled to reconvene on Monday.
"Judging by the reaction of futures this morning, investors share our sense of 'ho hum' about the Greece news," said Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG. "It's important to remember that the ultimate goal of these negotiations is to reduce the debt burden to somewhere around 120% of GDP. That is a terribly high number and the math used to get Greece to that debt level is ambitious despite the considerable progress that Greece has made over the last several years."
"Ultimately, we like many others see no way Greece can return to debt sustainability without further write downs of outstanding debt, including obligations in the hands of the public sector," he added.
The Labor Department said initial jobless claims for the week ended Nov. 17 fell 41,000 to an as-expected 410,000 from the previous week's upwardly revised figure of 451,000.
The four-week moving average was 396,250, an increase of 9,500 from the previous week's average of 386,750.
Continuing claims for the week ended Nov. 10 fell 30,000 to 3.337 million from the prior week's upwardly revised level of 3.367 million. Economists, on average, were expecting continuing claims to come in at 3.345 million.
"Jobless claims remained above the 400k mark despite the sharp 41k drop in the pace of initial jobless filings to 410k," said Millan Mulraine, an economist at TD Securities. "The decline comes on the heels of the upwardly revised pop to 451k the week before. The elevated level of claims is due in part to the continuing impact of Hurricane Sandy, which will likely continue to distort the data for another few weeks."
At 9:55 a.m., the final read on University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index for November is forecast to come in at 84.5, down from the 84.9 preliminary reading.

text: Staff on February 21, 2012 1 Comment I got a bread machine a few weeks ago and have been on a bread-making craze ever since. With everyone trying to eat healthier these days, it is great because I can control the ingredients that I put in the bread. Now I don't have to worry about preservatives and I can modify recipes to make them lower carb or higher in fiber, etc. There is just no end to what you can do and let's face it, homemade bread just tastes better! I tend to make several loaves over the weekend, one to start eating off of immediately and the rest I freeze so that I have them on hand as needed and don't have to worry about running out and having to get store bought bread. The latest, and by far my favorite recipe so far, is a Cranberry Wheat Bread. I use honey or agave nectar instead of sugar and apple sauce instead of butter. Bread Machine Cranberry Wheat Bread Ingredients 1 1/4 cups water 1/3 cup honey or agave nectar 2 tablespoons apple sauce 2 cups bread flour 1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 2 teaspoons active dry yeast 1 cup sweetened dried cranberries Directions Place all ingredients (except cranberries) in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select "Sweet Bread" cycly; press Start. Add the cranberries about 5 minutes before the kneading cycle has finished. If you don't have a bread maker, my favorite would have to be the CBK-200 Cuisinart 2-pound Convection Bread Maker. It has a mix-in option that tells you when it's time to add in the cranberries (or whatever mix in you want), so you don't have to guess. Makes it super easy! Photo credit goes to Kathy.

How to setup filters in your A/I webmail
What is a filter?
From july 2010 on the A/I webmail system allows every user to setup filters
A filter is a rule allowing a user to move, copy, remove messages from your inbox depending on their sender, subject, size or any other header you can think of.
You will find a web interface to manage your personal filters in your webmail, after you log in our home page with user and password.
Who needs filters?
Filters can be used by anyone, but we can think of at least two kinds of users
that REALLY need them.
First those who check out their mail via WEB: filters will give you the chance to organize your mail in folders and subfolders very easily.
Secondly those who check out their mail exclusively using a POP mail client: these users will need at least one filter to be able to see the mail we drop directly into the "Spam" folder in their mailbox.
How can I add a filter?
- Log into your web mailbox
- Go to the "Settings" section
- Go to the "Filters" section
- Click on the "Add Filter" icon
- Choose a straightforward name for your filter (like the criteria you are using to sort the messages)
- With the first dropdown menu choose which header you are using to sort the messages: sender, subject, size, etc.
- With the second dropdown menu choose what should be checked of that header: contains a word, is equal to a word, etc.
- In the text box next to the menus write the word you want the header checked against
- Click on the Add button
- Choose what should happen to the messages matching the filter criteria: be moved to a folder; be deleted; be forwarded to a certain mail address; and so on.
- Click on the Save button
How to add a filter to read the "Spam" folder via POP mail client
Follow the instruction on how to add a filter in the previous paragraph.
- Choose for this filter a standard name: retrospam
- The rule should match messages whose "X-Spam-Flag" header is equal to "YES" and should move those messages back into the "INBOX" folder.
- In the first dropdown menu choose "[...]"
- In the text boxes that appeared out of the blue write: "X-Spam-Flag" and "YES" respectively
- In the second dropdown menu choose "is equal to"
- Click on the Add button
- Click on the Save button

Kimball Education Gallery
February 5–March 30
Wednesdays–Sundays, 1–5 pm
Reception: Friday, March 28, 6–8:30 pm
Cut paper is the medium that brings these four artists together, and while each has developed personalized techniques to obtain unique styles and aesthetics, the fundamental materials are the same. Meditative in nature, the cutting of paper is a slow, deliberate, and often solitary practice that lends itself to a magical quality. In order to create with cut paper, the artist must first destroy, an alchemical process, speaking to the divine dichotomy of creation and destruction.
The artists' individual practices entail the use of hidden meanings within images and symbols, which will be an interesting point of departure. They are fascinated by the ephemeral quality of paper and how it is much like the fleeting experience of human memories/stories and of life itself. The framework for this artistic collaboration will allow for the intersection of historical identities and create a model for transmutation of past episodes into their effects on the present and how we might approach or look at the future.

Hagedorn decisive winner
To the Editor:
Jim Hagedorn was the big story coming out of the Martin County Republican Caucus straw poll. Hagedorn was the decisive winner with over 70 percent of the vote. Jim Hagedorn is looking to take on the liberal democrat U.S. Congressman here in the 1st District. We are in desperate need of a new Congressman to represent the 1st District and vote for them. Other winners of the straw ballots on Tuesday were Marty Seifert with 44 percent for Governor and Julianne Ortman with 29 percent for U.S. Senate. Many resolutions were passed and they will now go on to the Martin County Republican Convention to be held in March. It was great to see an enthusiastic crowd of over 80 people come out on a cold winter night. That enthusiasm is what we need to propel our conservative candidates to victory this November.

Stock Futures Mixed as HP Shares Plunge
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Stock futures were little changed Tuesday after the previous session's big rally, as investors digested some downcast news revealed in Hewlett-Packard's(HPQ) latest quarterly results.
Hewlett-Packard shares were plummeting by more than 11.5% in premarket trading Tuesday after the PC-giant beat Wall Street's earnings estimates in its fourth-quarter results on Tuesday, but missed analysts' top-line forecasts.
The company's purchase of U.K. software maker Autonomy last year has been thrust into the spotlight, as HP recorded a non-cash charge of around $8.8 billion related to the deal .
Investors were also digesting a Moody's downgrade of French debt by a notch, as the rating agency spoke of "multiple structural challenges" facing Europe's second-largest economy including the "gradual, sustained loss of competitiveness," as the predictability of the country's resilience to future euro area shocks diminishes.
The downgrade follows Standard & Poor's removal of the country's AAA rating months earlier.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were down 11 points, or 31.96 points below fair value, at 12,727. Futures for the S&P 500 were up less than a point, or 1.19 points below fair value, at 1383. Futures for the Nasdaq were rising 5.25 points, or 3.18 points below fair value, at 2590.
The major U.S. stock averages soared Monday as better-than-expected housing market data gave extra mileage to a rally fueled by optimism over budget talks in Washington.
"After the string of losses during the past couple weeks,
The Census Bureau said Tuesday that housing starts rose to an 894,000 annual rate in October from a downwardly revised 863,000 in September. It also reported that building permits fell to an annual rate of 866,000 in October from a downwardly revised 890,000 in September.
On average, economists were expecting housing starts of 840,000 and building permits of 865,000 for last month.
At 12:15 p.m. EST, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke speaks to the Economic Club of New York, followed by 20 minutes of questions and answers.
The FTSE 100 in London was down 0.12%, while the DAX in Germany was up 0.23%. Eurozone finance ministers were meeting in Brussels Tuesday to discuss the release of the next tranche of financial aid to Greece.
Japan's Nikkei average settled down 0.12% on Tuesday and Hong Kong's Hang Seng index closed down 0.16%.

Today is the day we wait all season for.
For me, this could be as great of a day as you could possibly imagine.
On the other hand, it could be one of the worst days of my life.
Most of you that know me a little, know that my father is from PA and a hard-core Pittsburgh fan. Nothing makes me more sick than the thought of those hillbillies winning the championship. I was too young to remember them winning 4 titles and my dad's reaction. Today however, I have a feeling I know all the bullshit I will hear from him for months and months.
That being said, If Seattle wins, it will bring so much joy!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seattle needs to win this game. Seattle has to win this game.
Not just for the city of Seattle and their fans, but most importantly the city of Cleveland and all of us. Please Seahawks, we know you're better than those inbred hillbilly pieces of monkey shit.

here it is, my thesis film...I've been working on this for the past year and a half and now it's finished and I'm graduating tomorrow.
Luke 15:3Then Jesus told them this parable: "Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.' I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
When I was first trying to come up with an idea I had the parable of the lost sheep in the back of my head. I really wanted to have a story that was founded with some message or parable. I had a hard time coming up with an idea based of this, and then I just started working on this idea of a man and origami cranes based off a digital painting I had done. The idea sorta fluidly came together after than point and I think that original message kinda worked its way back in. I just really wanted to create a feel good story that I could share with people that might have some emotional value. And I wanted to show how in people's roughest times if you don't focus on the negative God can show you, and use people to show you, an overwhelming hope and faith.
I found these early early sketches
anchor of doubt
and rope of hope:
hope you enjoy!

Become patrons
Thanks to its patrons, the museum is able to take on the challenge of holding two exhibitions a year, which are always original and whose richness and quality are regularly remarked upon and celebrated. It is also able to restore works handed down by its founders to their original splendour and elegance through restoration campaigns.
On the occasion of each exhibition, the patron is associated with a major event in Parisian cultural life and thereby benefits from a high media profile for several months.
Through association with the Jacquemart-André Museum for the restoration of a work of art, the patron promotes the rediscovery, by the public, of remarkable works (paintings, furniture, tapestries, sculptures, etc).

Getting Hired: Overcoming A Spotty History
Everyone knows how difficult it can be to land a job under the best of circumstances. Those with poor work histories must face additional hurdles created by a past they'd rather erase. Whether you're trying to overcome being fired, or a history of jumping from job to job, past improprieties can trouble you for years to come.
There is hope. When employers are deciding who to hire, work history is one of many factors they'll consider. If you're struggling to find your way as you rebuild from an ugly past, there are things you can do to compensate for what may have been the result of bad luck or youthful immaturity. Consider this advice as you prepare to work towards earning the fresh start you deserve.
Employers want more than just a perfect work history.
When trying to find the best person for the job, employers consider many factors. Interviewers are always impressed by candidates who demonstrate an eager attitude towards learning about the company, share examples of strong work ethic, reveal past accomplishments, and convey an easygoing personality that can blend into the office culture. If you have a less than impressive work history, do your best to emphasize what you do have to offer. Share positive statements focusing on other areas that would influence them to consider you for their opportunity.
Try this resume formatting tactic to compensate for lack of experience.
Perhaps you are a recent graduate with little work experience other than short-term summer gigs. Or, maybe you went through a spell of hopping from job to job without staying at one place very long. When formatting your resume, consider trying out a technique to prevent you from scaring an employer away before they give you a chance to interview. Instead of listing several short-term jobs in your employment history, consider grouping different jobs under a single heading. For example, if you had four different jobs as an office assistant in a span of one year, you can place your experience under a general heading like the example below. This will not draw immediate attention to your past of having many short-term jobs.
Office Administration: Buffalo Firms (2012-2013)
Don't underestimate the value of volunteering.
Besides being good for the community, volunteering can be the perfect path towards redemption if you are trying to rebuild from your past career indiscretions. Consider finding a volunteer position that allows you to use your current skills and expand upon those by gaining more responsibility. If you can demonstrate hard work, dependability and integrity, you will walk away with more than a paycheck could offer. Not only will you feel better by helping a good cause, but you can also earn positive professional references and "work" experience.
Be realistic with your expectations.
Your rebuilding process will not happen overnight. Regardless of the reasons that led to your less than stellar work history, nothing will get you to the next level without dedication and hard work. If you claim you're committed to making better choices to improve yourself, back your claims with action. Look for career-based training offerings in your community to brush up on your technical skills. Often times, you can find courses for little to no cost through the department of labor or your local community college. Or, perhaps you will need to accept entry-level jobs early on in your rebuilding process. Embrace this time to work on adjusting your work ethic and demonstrating your value as a committed employee.
Prepare to answer questions about gaps in employment.
Most employers are used to seeing some gaps in employment history from applicants. Having a gap will not immediately put you out of the running for the job you desire. What's important is how you explain the gap to your interviewer. Believe it or not, this is often more important than why you took time off from working. The best tactic is to answer questions about gaps in an honest and direct way. Be sure to focus on any productive accomplishments you participated in such as volunteer work or schooling. End your explanation with a positive by conveying your enthusiasm for returning to work.
Most importantly, remember that you are at the core of your future. There is every reason to believe you can be gainfully employed.

Six teams of aspiring entrepreneurs have been chosen as finalists for the 23rd annual Henry R. Kravis Concept Plan Competition.
The contest, hosted by Claremont Graduate University (CGU's) Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management, recognizes Claremont Colleges students or alumni who develop business plans that demonstrate the competitive nature, flair, and general aptitude required of an entrepreneur in today's world.
The finalists will present their business plans to a panel of judges on Friday, May 3, from 4 to 8 pm in CGU's Burkle Building, 1021 N. Dartmouth Ave. Top teams will take home $8,000 in prize money.
This year's finalists are:
• AccuMab: Robert Davies, Karishma Dagar, and Onofre Bacani. All of Keck Graduate Institute. AccuMab aims to improve the early detection of cancer by identifying a unique cancer signature. This improved technology will help save lives and avoid costly repeat diagnostic procedures.
• DNA of Dating: Chris Munshaw-Rodriguez, Claremont Graduate University alumnus. DNA of Dating is a unique proprietary methodology that combines research from neuroscience, psychology, and evolutionary biology to help groups of underprivileged adolescent males.

Houston Composers Salon's Spring ConcertPosted by Chris Becker in Chamber Music, Composers, Concerts, Contemporary Classical, Electro-Acoustic, Houston, tags: Avant Garden, Eric Fegan, Houston, Houston Composers Salon, Hsaio-Lan Wang, Hsin-Jung Tsai, Ryan Gagnon, Stephen Yip, Thomas Helton
(Houston, TX) On Sunday, April 27, 2014 the Houston Composers Salon presents its Spring Concert, featuring works by Houston-based composers Hsaio-Lan Wang, Stephen Yip, Ryan Gagnon, and Eric Fegan. All four composers will be in attendance to introduce their compositions and answer questions from the audience. The concert takes place at 6:00 PM at 14 Pews, a popular venue for independent film screenings, visual art, and experimental and contemporary music performances.
The eclectic and provocative program includes Wang's Houston Duet, a collaboration with video artist Daniel Zajicek with an electro-acoustic score by Wang, Gagnon's Three Duets for flute and vibraphone, Fegan's Coexist and Separate for violin and bass, and Stephen Yip's Tide and Time for trombone and percussion. 14 Pews' cozy atmosphere and great acoustics are ideal for playing and listening to this kind of music.
Formerly known as the Houston Composers Alliance and founded in 1986 by the then Houston Symphony Composer-in-Resdience Tobias Picker, the Houston Composers Salon was renamed in 2013 and held its first concert at Avant-Garden, a popular Montrose bar that also hosts performances by Classical Revolution Houston and Da Camera. That first concert featured works by Houston Composers Salon president Thomas Helton performed by pianist, composer and improviser Hsin-Jung Tsai, who co-leads the organization with Helton. The organization's goal is to provide an intimate, supportive environment for local and international composers to have their work performed.
Houston Composers Salon Spring Concert, Sunday, April 27, 2014, 6:00 PM, at 14 Pews, 800 Aurora Street, $5 suggested donation.

From the Director's Desk - October 2013
Greetings! As summer slides effortlessly into crisp autumnal days of cool mornings and sparkling blue days, we look forward to exciting programs here at the library. Throughout October we have loads of programs for children, from story times for the littlies to the young critics' group for4th-6th graders. For adults there are a number of author visits; book discussion groups; the Artscapades series of art appreciation lectures; the Great Decisions Discussions with the World Affairs Forum as well as the highly anticipated, annual Stoddard Art Lecture on Sunday 20th October. This year's Stoddard speaker will be Helen Evans who is the Curator of Byzantine art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
We continue to grow our offerings learning opportunities in the library with new Saturday morning classes. You can learn to blog with Wordpress, to use Publisher software, to set up and use Goodreads to find and track the books you love, plus much more.
If you've been in the library in the last couple of weeks, you'll have noticed that we shifted the self service checkout terminal. It is now perched very conveniently on the end of the issuing desk- "check it out!" You can issue or renew your books and other materials yourself without having to wait in the queue. We are continually looking for ways to make your experience in the library ever better, so look out for other small changes in the weeks and months ahead.
Looking briefly back into September, New Canaan Library held two fantastic events with books and their authors. First was our Annual Literary Luncheon with Therese Anne Fowler celebrating Z a novel of Zelda Fitzgerald which was a wonderfully successful event. A few days later we held the annual UN lecture where we hosted the scholar and author Reza Aslan talking about his latest book: Zealot. Both events had tremendous community support. It is very exciting to see hundreds of New Canaanites turn out to participate at these stimulating events to learn, grow and exchange ideas.
Along with the great new books we have available for you to borrow, we have also recently added a number of new electronic resources, including more health and wellness sources, links to resources to help navigate the changes in the new healthcare legislation and more. Click on research on the website to see the full range of digital information sources available to library members.
If you haven't already, take a look at the selection of audio books we have available for downloading- straight onto your smart phone or other device. I'm currently enjoying listening to Barbara Kingsolver reading her latest book: Flight Behavior set in the mountains of Tennessee. To access these audio books, simply click on "One Click" in the right hand column of our website's front page.
Kind regards,

Social Work Education: A Future Of Strength Or Peril
In a dynamically changing world and one in which higher education generally is challenged by a scarcity of resources and the ever present need to justify the results of its mission and purpose, social work education faces an uncertain and perhaps perilous future. But rather than succumbing to pessimism, one should consider the strengths that social work education brings to the academy. The authors suggest the major challenges that face the social work educators in shaping a positive dynamic future within the academy.

Dell's Wasted Billions Explain Fuzzy Math on Deal: Street Whispers
Updated to include details about buyout terms from Dell filing
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Skeptics of Dell's(DELL) leveraged buyout might be at a loss to understand how the math adds up in the proposed $24.4 billion takeover deal , the largest since the financial crisis.
Still, few investors or analysts appear to be concerned that the debt-fueled buyout of Dell by a consortium led by founder Michael Dell, private equity firm Silver Lake Partners and Microsoft(MSFT) will fall through, even amid concern the $13.65-a-share cash offer provides a light payout to current shareholders.
Those who are staring at their calculators and remain mystified by the $16 billion in financing needed to complete the takeover and increasing signs that Dell's debt could be downgraded to junk by Standard & Poor's , Moody's and Fitch Ratings may simply be underestimating the amount of shareholder-value destruction at the PC maker in recent years.
Simply not wasting billions in investor money may go a long way in financing Dell's mega leveraged buyout. In fact, Dell hints at that scenario in an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that was appended to Tuesday's deal .
Notably, Dell indicates in its filing that cash outflows from financing activities at the Round Rock, Texas-based company might not increase in the wake of the take-private deal, in spite of about $13.75 billion in takeover loans and a $2 billion debt-financing commitment from software maker Microsoft, according to a separate Wednesday filing.
The key, according to Dell's disclosure, is that the company is poised to end dividend payments and a large share repurchase program, in a cash conservation that could help service higher interest costs and a growing debt burden.
Contrary to some expectations, even those of ratings agencies, Dell doesn't believe the significant financing needed for the takeover will burn the company's cash or impact its expected net cash position.
"The cost of servicing the debt in the proposed structure over the next three years is projected to be approximately the same or slightly less than Dell's dividend and share repurchase costs over the past three years," Dell said in a filing with the SEC on Tuesday. "New debt required for the transaction does not result in a restrictively leveraged capital structure," the company adds.
Given Dell's nascent 8-cent-a-quarter dividend in the second half of 2012, the lion's share of potential cash savings will come from scrapping a multi-billion dollar annual share-repurchase program, which had a remaining $5.3 billion board authorization, as of Dell's most recent quarterly filing with the SEC.
The potential termination of a share-repurchase program -- and disastrous past results -- might unlock one of the keys to Dell's proposed takeover, for those who are still puzzled by the financial maneuvering of the deal.

Changing media, new opportunities highlight discussion
Broadcast journalist Kevin Torres travels with a camera, tripod, earpiece, mobile phone and two laptops—one for video editing and another for writing and social networking.
From just about anywhere in his Colorado coverage area, he can write, shoot, upload and tweet about a story. He's fast, efficient and a model of the modern TV reporter on the go and on the Web.
He is always "live."
Torres, a 2006 Oswego graduate, joined three other communications experts, who analyzed the changing face of media at the eighth annual Dr. Lewis B. O'Donnell Media Summit Wednesday, Oct. 24.
Media maven Edward Wyckoff Williams, longtime Syracuse television reporter/anchor Jackie Robinson and documentary filmmaker Denis Mueller rounded out the panel moderated by ABC News veteran Garrick Utley, senior fellow and professor of broadcasting and journalism at Oswego.
"You're building your own brand and identity," Williams told a Waterman Theatre filled with more than 500 mostly students. "You are basically creating your own career in a way."
The modern journalist creates content constantly and across all formats, said Williams, a regular national TV and radio guest, columnist for the Washington Post and the Huffington Post, contributor to Al Jazeera and former investment banker.
"I don't think you can draduate and expect to do just one thing in this business," said Robinson, a 30-plus year veteran of television news. "You have to be multi-talented and be willing to multi-task."
Torres, the backpack journalist from KUSA-TV in Denver, noted the prominent role social media plays in his day-to-day.
"I put just as much effort into my social media as I do into my stories," he said.
Likewise, filmmakers have discovered the value of crowdsourcing, a relatively new opportunity to build capital and a loyal following for a film via social networking, Mueller said.
The panel was followed by in-person networking at the Career Connector event where students got a chance to sit down with accomplished Oswego alumni.
The Media Summit was founded in 2005 by 1977 graduate Louis A. Borrelli Jr., a longtime TV executive. In 2007, popular "Today" show personality Al Roker, of Oswego class of 1976, provided additional funding for the summit and the two friends renamed it in honor of revered professor Dr. Lewis B. O'Donnell.

Last week I was upset to learn that BBC Radio 5 Live were promoting greyhound racing as "a great, fun night out". Not only this, but Fighting Talk presenter Colin Murray has "adopted" a racing greyhound which the show is encouraging its listeners to bet on & providing live radio coverage of this dog's races. The dog is called Showme Thebunny.
BBC presenter Colin Murray posing in front of greyhound traps on the Fighting Talk homepage
After listening to the show's 19th August broadcast I felt utterly disgusted by the BBC's treatment of this subject & their unashamed promotion of the greyhound racing industry. Having never previously complained to the BBC, I felt compelled to make my voice, & that of all the thousands of greyhounds whose lives are exploited by the industry, heard.
Here is the complaint which I submitted to the BBC via their complaints site on 9/9/11:
I am thoroughly disgusted that the BBC is endorsing the greyhound racing industry. Listening to Radio 5 Live's Friday 19th August 7 o'clock evening broadcast, I was appalled to hear this cruel 'sport' referred to by presenter Colin Murray as "a great fun night out" before introducing his listeners to the greyhound they had "adopted". I have 2 adopted greyhounds myself – adopted from greyhound rescue charities after they were cast aside by the racing industry having served their purpose. Greyhounds have a lifespan of approximately 12 years, & yet most racing greyhounds' 'careers' are over by the time they are just 3 years old. These dogs are vastly overbred & many are disposed of as puppies when they fail to show sufficient interest in chasing a mechanical hare along a track. For the BBC to inform its listeners that they had "adopted" a greyhound makes a mockery of the many rescue charities that work both within the UK & worldwide to rescue, rehabilitate & rehome these unwanted (often neglected & abused) dogs when they no longer run fast enough, & causes me deep offence.
To listen to the presenters mock 'ShowMe TheBunny' as she got "bumped" at the first corner, a corner which for so many greyhounds is the last one they ever turn (tracks being purposefully engineered so that dogs are likely to injure themselves & fall whilst attempting to catch the lure), was sickening. Dogs who are injured at racing tracks are frequently euthanised when owners/trainers decide an injury is not worth treating because it will render the dog unable to race competitively – this often includes minor injurieswhich are easily treated & would have no longterm impact on the dog outside the world of racing. A
At the end of the broadcast, thanks were given "Owlerton Stadium & everyone with the greyhound association" – I wonder how many of your presenters/producers or indeed listeners were aware that Owlerton is one of the most dangerous greyhound tracks in Britain & its trainers are renowned for feeding their dogs class A drugs? Interesting how there was no mention of that on your program. Informing listeners that the light hearted, rose-tinted view which is being presented "is real dog racing" is not only misleading but false. I ask that the BBC not only withdraw their coverage of greyhound racing, but that you present your readers with the cold, hard facts about the treatment & fate of these dogs. I can guarantee that no-one will be deluded enough to think it's "a great fun night out" then.
Needless to say, I have as yet received no response from the BBC.
Now, during the broadcast which I listened to, mention was made of a Twitter account which had been set up in the name of "adopted" dog, Showme TheBunny, with listeners being urged to 'follow' this account in order to receive updates of her races: @ShowMe_TheBunny I'm more of a Facebook person myself, but do have a Twitter account (@greyhoundgal) & thought I would go take a look. & thank goodness that I did…
About a year ago I posted some hand printed pet portraits I had been working on here on my blog, including this commission (sold via my Folksy shop back in July 2010) of retired greyhound, Bomber, chasing a football along with the tongue-in-cheek caption 'show me the bunny':
original photograph of Bomber & resulting hand printed image on ladies hoodie
Imagine my horror when I discovered my hand printed image was being used as an avatar/logo for Showme Thebunny's Twitter account?! No credit whatsoever is given to me as the artist. What I am most distressed about, however, is the fact that my art actively promotes greyhound rescue & by using my (easily recognisable) image they BBC have associated both it & me with the greyhound racing industry & their show's irresponsible attitude towards it!
screenshot of @ShowMe_TheBunny's Twitter page showing my image being used as the avatar
I immediately submitted a copyright infringement report to Twitter & composed my second letter of complaint to the BBC in so many hours:
I am writing to ask that you remove my image from Radio 5 Live's twitter account @ShowMe_TheBunny immediately.
The image which you are displaying as @ShowMe_TheBunny's avatar is my original design (see http://www.folksy.com/items/678909-Custom-greyhound-hoodie-treats-pouches-RESERVED-for-Holly) & your use constitutes an infringement of copyright. My work is protected under law & this constitutes a breach of my legal rights. This is unacceptable & must stop.
Furthermore, in view of the facts that my business actively promotes greyhound rescue & by using my (easily recognisable) image you have associated both it & me with the greyhound racing industry & your show's irresponsible attitude towards it, I demand an apology. I am seeking legal advice & this case will be pursued if you do not comply with my request.
As well as submitting this through the BBC's formal complaint site, I have also emailed it directly to Colin Murray via firstname.lastname@example.com & email@example.com with copies forwarded to email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com & email@example.com. I am still waiting for a response & my image remains on public display on their Twitter page.
& what was the reaction of the customer who originally commissioned this print when I told them how the image was being used by the BBC?
I would HATE any image of my beautiful boy to be promoting something which treated him and his companion like a disposable bit of consumerism.
If you are even half as appalled by all this is I am, please show your support by
- submitting a complaint to the BBC
- spreading the word via word of mouth, email & social networks
- joining the Facebook group 'Tell the BBC to stop promoting cruel Greyhound racing!'
- tweeting your opinion to @ShowMe_TheBunny
- attending a demonstration such as the one planned outside the BBC Scotland headquarters at 40 Pacific Quay, Glasgow, G51 1DA this Saturday (17th September) 11am – 3.30 pm on Saturday 17th – owners are encouraged to bring along their pet greyhounds
- checking websites such as Greyt Exploitations & Greyhound Action for news updates
- asking any contacts you have in the press whether they might be interested in covering this story
My hope is that in some way the BBC's careless use of my image can be used to create (more) adverse publicity against their irresponsible coverage & endorsement of greyhound racing. This is an opportunity to educate both the BBC's staff & its listeners about the harsh realities of what goes on in the industry, so please, please consider taking action.

Six days before the 100-meter breast stroke final at the 2008 Olympic Trials, Megan Jendrick got a haircut, hoping to streamline the profile of her swim cap so it would create less drag. But she pooh-poohed her husband's suggestion to wear her swim cap over her goggle strap so it, too, would create less drag.
"No, no, I don't care," said Jendrick (née Quann). Eight years earlier, at the Sydney Olympics, Quann won the gold medal in the 100m breast stroke as a 16-year-old with her goggle strap flapping.
"If it comes down to hundredths of a second," Nathan Jendrick warned, "you'll care."
She relented, put her cap over her goggles, and that's exactly what happened.
Tuesday night, in the 100m breast stroke final, Jendrick edged out the third-place finisher Tara Kirk by one one-hundredth of a second to make the cut for the 2008 US Olympic team.
It was redemption for Jendrick who, four years earlier, missed making the Athens team by .11 seconds in that event, placing third, and preventing her from defending her 2000 Olympic gold medal. At the 2004 US Olympic Trials, she also competed in the 200m breast stroke final but she knew she was a long shot to qualify because she rarely trained for that distance.
"When I stood on those blocks before that final," she recalled "I thought, 'this is the last race of my career." She placed sixth - also not good enough for Athens.
So she returned home to Washington and poured her energy into planning her wedding to Nathan Jendrick, her high school boyfriend who was averse to water after nearly drowning as a child, and whom she taught to swim when he was 17.
But every wedding anniversary would remind Quann that she didn't make the Olympic team; the couple had chosen December 18 for their ceremony so it wouldn't interfere with her training for Athens.
While in wedding mode, Megan didn't touch a swimsuit for six months.
She also began the formal process of retiring. It required filling out paperwork for the US Anti-Doping Agency, so it would know when to stop drug testing her. Since she was only 20 years old in 2004, she listed her status as "semi-retired" - just in case - but that meant she still had to be available for USADA's out-of-competition testing.
Many times, she'd have to turn her car around and head home for a test. Sometimes, officials would show up at 4am to collect a sample from the "semi-retired" athlete.
"And they don't just knock-knock on the door," Nathan said, "It's bang-bang."
During the flurry of wedding preparation, lingering disappointment, and the hassle of random drug testing, Megan and Nathan received a surprise invitation to fly to the Athens Olympics as a guest of Sports Illustrated because she had appeared on the magazine's cover in 2000.
The couple arrived in Athens on the final night of swimming competition. They were offered pool-side tickets, so Megan was able to witness Australia break the United States' world record in the women's 4x100m medley relay. Megan had helped set the old world record, so to see the mark shattered, she said, "lit a fire. I was ready to do damage."
Nathan felt the fire, too. "I thought to myself, she's going to come back," he said.
After they returned to Washington, Megan began working with the local aquatics club, teaching kids age 5-9 to race and, because she had so much extra energy, accomplished a whirlwind of do-it-yourself projects at home: building a fence and a desk, and painting the inside and outside of the house.
"She almost needed swimming to calm down," Nathan said.
"He kept trying to get me to work out," she said.
Finally, Jendrick grew eager to race. "But I wasn't sure about the whole training thing. I didn't want to make such a big commitment without knowing if I could follow through with it."
She spoke to Sean Hutchison, the head coach of the King Aquatic Club in Washington and said, "I don't know if I can commit." He said, "If you can give me six months, let's see what happens."
So on January 6, 2005, one day after returning from her Hawaiian honeymoon, Jendrick hit the pool for a 3 ½ hour workout and never looked back.
"Sean's philosophy is perfect for Megan," Nathan Jendrick said.
Huchison's swimmers train once a day, seven days a week - unlike most clubs which have two-a-day practices and Sundays off.
Jendrick's first competition was the 2005 World Championship Trials in Indianapolis, held in the same pool where Jendrick made her first Olympic team. She missed the qualifying cut for Worlds by one place in the 100m breast stroke and was sent to the World University Games instead where she won three gold medals. At the 2006 Pan Pacific Championships, she took second-place in the 100m breaststroke, and began training seriously for the 200m breast stroke - which she had never done - and saw rapid improvement.
At the 2007 World Championships in Melbourne, Australia, she took a silver medal in the 200m breast stroke. "That was a big surprise," she said. "I dropped 2.2 seconds, just because I'd been focusing on it."
Since the 2007 Worlds, Jendrick has been mainly training for the 200m breast stroke, which is why making the Olympic team in the 100m event on Tuesday night was doubly surprising.
"I haven't slept much in two days," she said in an interview outside the Quest Center in Omaha on Wednesday morning.
Her husband, Nathan, was still glowing, too. The night of the final, Jendrick, a journalist who covers swimming for radio and the web, was sitting in the media seats. When his wife's time was posted, he shot out of his seat and jumped five feet in the air, as if he'd made the Olympic team himself. As he waited for her in the "mixed zone," he thought about the goggle strap, and how they'd just been discussing how critical hundredths of a second could be.
A day later, sitting outside the Quest Center for an interview, a steady stream of fans approached to congratulate Jendrick. One of them, triple gold-medalist Rowdy Gaines, dropped his backpack, gave her a bear hug, and said, "I'm so proud of you!" Another said, "Oh, you're the husband and wife that won last night."
Today, Jendrick will compete in the 200m breast stroke prelims and semifinals. The finals will be held Friday.
After Beijing, the couple figures to make headlines again. Nathan has just finished writing his third sports book - a tell-all autobiography with Victor Conte, the president of Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative (BALCO), the company that developed the banned steroid THG and triggered the ongoing steroid scandal that implicated several gold-medalists, particularly in track and field.
Nathan Jendrick knows that his journalistic connection to Conte can be an unhealthy association for any athlete, so he deliberately kept his wife away from Conte during the process.
The book, "BALCO: The Straight Dope on Marion Jones, Barry Bonds, and What We Can Do to Save Sports,"is scheduled to be released in September.

Inappropriate text spells trouble for teen
Twenty years ago – 1993
The 21-year-old 3-1-3 program for high school seniors is alive and well, according to Penny Deakin, program director for the past nine years. She said that small communities like Chautauqua County make the program thrive. In 3-1-3, high school seniors are allowed to get a jump on college by taking up to three college classes a semester during their final year of high school?
Thirty years ago – 1983
A number of property owners located in the area of the proposed $10 million harborfront project in Dunkirk met recently to discuss the city's efforts to acquire their property. While the land owners, mostly small businessmen, don't seem to relish the prospect of moving from the area, they appear resigned to the fact that the project is likely to go ahead and that they will probably have to move. At the same time, however, they feel it is only right that they receive a fair price for their land and are not forced to sell unless the city is absolutely certain the land will be needed.
Forty years ago – 1973
Paul Dillenkofer, a maintenance electrician at Kraft Foods in Dunkirk, was presented with the J.L. Kraft Jade Ring Merit Award for his outstanding contribution in working out a technical problem at the plant.

...what I do is actually prepare the entire batch of dough (salt, yeast, 100% water and all), mixing it just enough to be uniform in appearance, and then letting it sit on the bench for an hour, at which time I knead it by hand.
Reinhart's recipe actually calls for water that is chilled with ice cubes which doesn't seem to shock the yeast to death. Erik
1) Heat filtered water in the microwave until it reaches 167 F exactly. (Yes, I've worked out the evaporation rate so that at precisely 110 F I know how much water is in the bowl.)2) Add micro-nutrient rich sugar, or any other yeast enhancing additive.3) At 110 F, I add the yeast.4) At 100 F, I add the oil. (It's a blend I make from 50% Extra Virgin Olive Oil and 50% Rice Bran Oil)5) At 98 F (which happens almost instantly by adding 67 F oil), I sift in flour and salt together.6) I stir to compete integration, dump on work surface (bench), and mold a ball.7) I cover the dough ball with the mixing bowl turned upside down and let rest for an hour.

Academic Hospital Cologne-Holweide
Cologne, Germany
Plastic reconstruction of the pelvic organs in cystocele and rectocele (program ID: 45907)
Werner Neuhaus
Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics
Specialized in: gynecology, obstetrics
The Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics specialiyes on benign and malignant diseases in female patients. The range of services covers all areas of conservative and surgical gynecology. If necessary, surgical procedures are performed in outpatient regime. In particular, very important are minimally invasive treatment methods.
Typical diseases in the field of gynecology:
• Myomas are benign changes in the uterus, which may lead to metrostaxis. Depending on the location and size of myomas the hysteroscopic resection of myoma, laparoscopic myomectomy or a small abdominal wall incision can be necessary. After the end of reproductive age, the hysterectomy through the vagina can be performed –either with laparoscopy completely (a total laparoscopic assisted hysterectomy) or with laparoscopy over the vagina (laparoscopic assisted supravaginal hysterectomy). Only in some cases the abdominal walls incision is possible. Another method of treatment is uterine artery embolization, which is carried out in cooperation with Radiology Department.
• Problems with the bladder and uterine prolapse are diagnosed and can be treated at the Center for Treatment of the pelvic floor in collaboration with urologists and surgeons. Primary attention is paid to conservative therapy methods (gymnastic exercises, supported by means of electrical stimulation, etc.).
• Underlying weakness of the bladder during physical activities can be treated with a good chance of recovery with the help of vaginal bandages (TVT or TVT-O and TOT). The pelvic floor descent will be intentionally lifted. Depending on the examination results, conducting of vaginal correction with the partial mesh implantation (colporrhaphy, vaginal fixation according to Amreich-Richter and mesh implantation) can be required. In cases of younger patients the laparoscopic fixation (laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy) can be used. Thus, the uterus can be saved.
• Endometriosis has a multifaceted disease picture and requires an individual treatment approach. In case of operation, complete sanation is required, it can be performed using either laparoscopic method or in case of the the bowel involvement using means of multidisciplinary surgery.
• Cervical carcinoma (cervical cancer) can usually be prevented by regular screening and detection at an early stage. The therapy is based on modern methods. If there is a necessity to remove the uterus, so it can also be done laparoscopically with the examination of lymph nodes (radical laparoscopic hysterectomy, Wertheim's operation).
• Uterus cancer (endometrial cancer) usually occurs in an old age. The decisive step on the way to its healing is removal of the uterus and ovaries. Depending on the examination results, the lymph nodes along the pelvic and abdominal vessels are removed. Using laparoscopic method makes the operation much more sparing.
• Ovarian cancer often requires a multidisciplinary treatment. As same as with all cancer tumors, the procedure will be discussed at the interdisciplinary conferences on cancer treatment.
• Vulvar cancer (carcinoma of the vulva) is a rare disease. With help of the individual operational treatment methods in particular during the treatment of sentinel lymph node (signaling method) situation with possible side effects can be greatly improved.
In addition, at the Women Department in Cologne Holweide, about 2 000 children have been born by women with a high premature birth risk percentage as well as with a high risk level of childbirth every year. Thus, in the maternity room at least two doctors and two midwives are working 24/7. The aim of the maternity ward is to support a natural childbirth. Perinatal center also specializes on premature chuldbirth and on pregnancies with a high level of risk.

As the first nation to incorporate the Ecological Footprint into its National Plan, Ecuador is committed to maintaining its Ecological Footprint at a level within what its ecosystems can renew. Yet this commitment came about only after becoming aware of their growing Ecological Footprint. Fifty years ago, Ecuador had over four times as much biocapacity than they used. A growing population and increased consumption put the nation in ecological deficit. Now Ecuador's Ecological Footprint has exceeded its biocapacity. Ecuador's per capita Footprint over the past half-century has doubled, while the population has more than tripled. This means that many more Ecuadorans are sharing the available ecological assets.
National leaders recognized this as a threat to their long-term economic security and decided to make reversing this trend a national priority. It adopted a Presidential mandate to manage ecological assets by incorporating indicators such as the Footprint to track ecological supply and demand, and inform sound long-term decision-making.
It was therefore fitting that Ecuador hosted the 2nd International Congress on Ethics and Tourism in September, part of a larger set of tourism-related events attended by representatives from 40 nations throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. The theme of the Congress—"conscious tourism"—underscored the increasing awareness of the tourist industry's impact on communities and ecosystems. Dr. Mathis Wackernagel, President of Global Footprint Network, was invited by Ecuador's Minister of Tourism Freddy Ehlers to give the keynote speech.
Mathis spoke about Ecological Footprint accounting and underscored the current trends toward ecological overshoot.
"We have limited resources and unlimited wants. We have to think about tourism within this reality. We do not want to decrease the growth of tourism, though we need to see to what extent it will produce opportunities or harm," he said.
After the conference's inaugural day, Mathis met with the heads of several government agencies, including the Minister of the Environment (Mercy Borbor) and the Minister of Non-Renewable Natural Resources-Mining & Oil, who expressed interest in Global Footprint Network's work. Mathis emphasized the importance of signing the Interagency Cooperation Agreement with the Ministry of Environment, a three-year collaboration that follows up on our previous work with Ecuador.
Global Footprint Network and the Ministry of Environment will continue their collaboration by implementing a project called "Identification, Calculation and Mitigation of the Ecological Footprint for the Public Sector of Ecuador." In November, Global Footprint Network will be hosting personnel from the Ministry of Environment to conduct technical training.
Here is Mathis giving an interview in Quito (in Spanish):
Global Footprint Network and Mathis were covered in several national newspapers, including El Universo and El Telegrafo. For more, visit Ecuador's Ministry of the Environment website.

Classifiers evaluate players and determine their Sport Class and Sport Class Status for play in tournaments. They are trained and qualified to be members of a Classification Panel.
The BWF recognizes three levels of classifier.
- Trainee Classifier
- Level 1 - International Classifier
- Level 2 – Senior International Classifier
There are two classifier roles.
Head of Classification - the person responsible for the direction, administration, coordination and implementation of classification matters for the BWF.
Chief Classifier - a classifier appointed for a specific BWF sanctioned international tournament, responsible for the direction, administration, co-ordination and implementation of classification matters at that tournament.

Levels of Classifiers
The BWF Classification Regulations describe the categories of classifiers and their roles and responsibilities.
Trainee Classifier - is being trained by the BWF and is not yet certified as a classifier. A trainee cannot be a member of a classification panel at an international tournament.
Level 1 - International Classifier – has successfully completed the BWF classifier training and has been certified to be a member of a classification panel at international tournaments.
Level 2 – Senior Classifier - has a leadership role at international tournaments. Senior classifiers have completed BWF training, show leadership, participate in research and development of the classification system, and have sufficient experience to implement the classification regulations at a tournament. Senior classifiers can perform the role of Chief Classifier at events.

At Hotel Sackmann, Jörg Sackmann has found his personal signature and is bursting with ideas for flavours.
Jörg Sackmann's cuisine is characterised by well thought-out, cleanly executed, intense and innovative flavour combinations derived from unusual produce, all supported by a classic foundation, the application of the whole panoply of culinary techniques, and an authentic cooking style. The menus at Schlossberg gourmet restaurant follow a precise, clearly thought-out dramatic sequence – some small mood-setters are followed by several interesting culinary ideas which stir the curiosity and awaken all the taste senses before the actual meal ratchets up the suspense notch by notch. Despite the excellent provenance of all the produce, it is Sackmann's brilliant, multilayered flavour combinations that take centre stage – this is genuine cuisine d'auteur.
In his caramelised goose liver with sheep's milk yoghurt, apple & ginger compote and fig bread , Sackmann creates new taste relationships on two levels: in the bass chord the sweetness of the goose liver is mitigated by a thin layer of (caramelised) sheep's milk yoghurt, which means that in the overtone the interaction of the goose liver with the acidity of the apple is more transparent and the ginger accent more potent. A magnificent composition! Another superlative dish is his quail with beurre noisette cream, kohlrabi bouillon and Prelibato vinegar, in which the earthy kohlrabi, sherry and vinegar notes and the sweetly acute beurre noisette foam establish vectors that allow the flavours of the quail (breast and thigh) to intensify naturally in the taste continuum. Magnificent!

In 1990 Paul released "The Long And Winding Road" as a single in Holland, this was taken from Tripping The Live Fantastic, as was track 4 "Put It There".
Tracks 2 & 3 are "C Moon" and "Mull Of Kintyre", does anyone know whether these are the same versions as on the "All My Trials" singles around the same time?
I already have "Tripping" and the All My Trials singles and just wondering whether I would gain any new musical content if I was to get hold of this Dutch single.
Thanks in advance.
