Member Surveys and Meet & Greet Fliers: The beginning of a beautiful relationship!
It is a fact that member surveys are valuable tools for any local association during bargaining. But have you considered using a survey to promote great things about the people who work in your district?
NJEA offers a member survey that is designed to find out information about your members to use as part of your ongoing media and public relations efforts. By having your members answer some simple questions about who they are and what they do, you will have all the tools your local will need to create a fantastic new piece to allow parents and community residents to get to know you better.
Ways to use the meet & greet flier:
-- Handout at back to school night and parent conferences.
-- Distribute it at PTA meetings and events.
-- Work with your administration to "backpack" it with students.
-- Give it to your local realtors for prospective homebuyers.
-- And many more!
The best part is that these surveys can be tailored to suit any local association, so whether you choose to ask a small number of questions or a lot, the results you discover are worth sharing!
Go here to get started with your survey: https://www.njea.org/Parents-and-Commun ... 72326&_z=z
*NEW* We have spoken to members who recently used the Forms feature of Google Drive to make their surveys for members. This will make it easier to tabulate the results of your survey.
Learn more about Google Drive Forms here: https://support.google.com/drive/answer/87809?hl=en

Comments: I come to this shoe from the Asics 2100 series. I wore the 2160's and went through about 6 pairs of the 2170's. I'm not quite sold on the current version from Asics. Two caveats with this shoe: 1) order a half size up. I wear an 11 in Asics and needed an 11.5 in this shoe. 2) beware of the 8mm heel to toe drop. I have experienced some mild achilles soreness transitioning to this shoe. The key here is 'transitioning'. Do not pick up this shoe from a 12-13mm drop shoe and wear this shoe exclusively. You will not be happy with the results. I am alternating this shoe with my last pair of 2170's and doing achilles/calf stretches to get used to the lower drop. For what it's worth, I'm logging 35mpw in the early stages of marathon training (will ramp up to 60mpw) and am 160 lbs.
From: Eric, Richmond, VA, USA
Comments: First I'm going to talk about the Guide 5, and then I'll tell you about the Guide 6. After running in the Mizuno Wave Inspire 6 for 2 years (12 pairs) I finally switched to the Guide 5. After a few weeks of struggling with a tight achilles from the reduced heel drop, I fell in love with the shoe. Probably my favorite pair since Mizuno Precisions back in 2005. I feel smooth when I run in the Guide 5, and I get lots of feedback from whatever surface I'm running on. The upper fits my long, narrow foot like a glove with no blisters or slippage. The forefoot rubber was showing pretty significant wear after 400 miles, but I bet you can get 500+ out of the Guide 5. I bought the Guide 6 this month after hearing what a great update it was. I disagree. The forefoot FEELS wider to my foot, and I can't tighten the laces down enough to keep my foot from moving around. I took these on an outdoors trip for trail running, and my foot was sliding all over the place. Actually rolled my ankle 3x on one run from the instability. The forefoot rubber is also significantly harder than the Guide 5, which may improve longevity but at the cost of comfort. The Guide 6 looks slightly better in my opinion. As a result of my experience, I'm going back to the Guide 5. Just bought 4 more pairs, so hopefully that will hold me until the next update. Hoping for the return of that glove-like fit and softer forefoot rubber.
From: Stuart, Atlanta, GA
Comments: Had two pairs of Guide 5's in 2012 and liked them. The Guide 6s are definitely a tad smaller and I had to go up to size 11 in them where in the 5's I was a 10 1/2. The shoe does feel a bit more flexible in the forefoot and slightly more secure on the mid-foot, but the overall feel is very much Guide 5-like. The addition of more resilient XT-900 rubber on the toe will be an improvement as I wore through the IBR+ rubber into the EVA foam on the toes on one of my Guide 5s. It seems that Saucony corrected the weird tongue that the Guide 5 had (too short and concave shaped top) and the elastic-like laces that were too long. Also, I purchased the white/black/citron(green) color scheme and found the green details and midsole to be very visible in low lighting conditions; much more so than on my royal/citron Guide 5's or white/black/slime green Mirage 2. One thing that I am concerned about is the added sewn-on overlays on the toe box. There are additional overlays that go from the bottom lace eyelets almost straight forward to the toe reinforcement overlay. This was not the case in the Guide 5. I can feel the new overlay over my small toe buckle at toe-off when I walk, but luckily not running. I have done up to 6 miles on the 6's and not an issue yet, but concerned about it once I get up to 16+ miles.
From: Manny, Greenville, SC, USA
Comments: I am trying these after several pairs of Kayanos, the latest of which I did not care for. The flatter heel-to-toe drop makes me a little nervous. I really don't trust the shoemakers at all anymore -- after years of building up heels they are all chasing the trend (and $$$) in the opposite direction. But I've had good luck with Saucony in past years and decided to give them a try again. My first impression of the Guide 6 after a couple runs: These are VERY comfortable and 'broken in' right from the start, yet feel secure on the foot and still feel like enough shoe for me, and I'm 6-2/180. Also very light. So far so good.
From: Scott, Atlanta, GA, USA
Comments: I've had two pairs of the Guide 5's with about 700 miles on them. I usually do not go up half a size with Saucony shoes. However, I had to in the Guide 6. When my normal size 10's arrived, they were 1/8" narrrower at the wide point of the forefoot, which was just a little too tight for me. The 10.5's turned out to be better. I took the Guide 6's out for a 13 mile run this morning. They didn't feel much different than the 5's. I also didn't notice much difference due to the extra 1 mm cushioning in the midfoot. Not much change - still a great shoe.
From: Jason, Parker, CO, USA
Comments: Nice update from the Guide 5. I always am a little nervous when an update comes out but this one is positive. I went through 5 pairs of the 5's and really liked them. The 6's are similar but are a touch lighter and a little more flexible. Felt slightly narrower in the forefoot but nothing severe. Sizing is the same for me. Nice update!
From: Fred, Cedarburg, WI, USA

Family Reunion Planning
If you're like plenty of other families this summer, you're probably planning on meeting with the extended family for a weekend of family reunion festivities. It can be overwhelming coordinating with so many different people to help make the weekend a success, so Cardstore has come up with some tips to help make your family reunion planning even easier.
1. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Planning a reunion can be stressful, so try to delegate to dependable relatives who will help to coordinate events, meals, and rooming arrangements.
2. Make rooming arrangements. Let family members who are coming in from out of town know about good places to stay that are central to where your events will be held.
3. Figure out what activities to schedule that will appeal to everyone. Will there be plenty of little ones there? Reserve a softball field for some friendly competition on the field, or create a crafting station for people to make their own t-shirts as a fun souvenir. Are there any family reunion activities you've done and especially loved?
4. Schedule meals. Make a list of some of the favorite restaurants in town you'd love to take family to, and be sure to make reservations for your big group in advance! If you're hosting a meal at your home, have each family member bring a dish, silverware, or drinks to help make your grocery shopping easier.
5. Keep in touch with updates on what you have planned! Make sure a clear schedule with times, locations, and events is sent to all family members so everyone is aware of where to be and what to expect.
6. Confirm! In the week before your event, confirm your plans with relatives and restaurants to make sure everyone knows the schedule, and your reservations are scheduled for the proper times and locations.
What are some of your favorite family reunion memories?
Consider sending out invites far in advance so that everyone can keep track of the big event!

Gwen Callahan from the Emery County School District presented the school with a recognition. Mrs. Rowley's class read the most minutes and she took the first swipe out of Mr. Johnson's hair. Students read a poem about the haircut. "The man with no hair. He took the dare and now his head is bare. He went and shaved his head, for the million minutes that we read! Beware, beware the man who lost his hair. He's kind, he's brave. We read so he would shave. Beware, beware the man with no hair. He took on the dare, because he truly cares! We love you!"

10 facts on dementia
March 2015
Dementia is a syndrome, usually of a chronic or progressive nature, caused by a variety of brain illnesses that affect memory, thinking, behaviour and ability to perform everyday activities.
The number of people living with dementia worldwide is currently estimated at 47.5 million and is projected to increase to 75.6 million by 2030. The number of cases of dementia are estimated to more than triple by 2050.
Dementia is overwhelming not only for the people who have it, but also for their caregivers and families. There is a lack of awareness and understanding of dementia in most countries, resulting in stigmatization, barriers to diagnosis and care, and impacting caregivers, families and societies physically, psychologically and economically.

I had kind of hoped the meeting would have been a forum for members to bring up stuff like the Drug Case and other new business. Of course, on that same topic Mainframe's current behaviour is part of that "new business." I think that it's good to bring out that roleplay, and give everyone a chance to showcase their character's personality (as opposed to their character's ability to kick ass).
Having said that, I think what Hound is roleplaying would probably be described as "a psychotic break" by folks in the mental health industry. Realistically, that would mean that Mainframe could not serve as a Partner, and certainly couldn't be allowed to do any field work. I guess I'm saying we need to find a balance between working out a dramatic arc, and finding a place where Mainframe can continue to be on the team -instead of a recurring villain sworn for vengeance because we expelled him.

Emery's girls' basketball had a rough week this week, falling 73-46 at home to Carbon and 50-33 at Delta.
The Lady Spartans are still looking for consistency on offense and are struggling to recapture the suffocating defense they showed during the Christmas break.
Cheryl Grant, Emery's 6' 3" center, has led the Spartans in scoring in most of the games, but teams have started to double- and triple-team her. The rest of the team has had great moments, but rarely at the same time.
With the loss, Emery falls to 0-3 in the region and 5-9 overall.
The Spartans have a chance to better their fortunes starting this week when they take on 4-11 North Sanpete Thursday at the Spartan Center.

What should I wear to the course?
You should wear active clothing that is appropriate to the season and must have good sneakers or boots for footwear (NO sandals).Also- hats and/or sunglasses can help make your day more comfortable. During fall or spring- you may wish to bring a jacket and or light gloves to keep warm. Remember- you will be outside for the duration of your program- prepare accordingly.
What else should I bring?
Please bring a water bottle (reusable) in order to stay hydrated. We provide ice water to all participants. ECU Campus Recreation and Wellness supports efforts to minimize waste and use resources wisely. We have paper cups, however, if participants bring their own bottle it helps create less waste, as they do not have to use multiple paper cups throughout the day
What happens if it rains?
Programs will go on as long as there is no threat from lightning or high winds or heavy rains. If there is a light or intermittent rain- your program will most likely continue (come prepared that day with a jacket) as long as it is safe and comfortable to be outside.
How do I get to the course?
The ropes course is located in the back of the Blount Sports Complex at the Field House behind the Belk Building on the corner of Greenville Blvd. and Charles Street (across from the Plaza Mall). Turn onto Curry Drive and follow to the back of the parking lots. Parking is located along Curry Drive across from the Blount Sports Field House. No one is allowed to drive to the low element or Alpine tower section of the course area. Parking stickers or passes are required for parking. All groups will meet at the Field House located in front of the sports fields.
What if I have to cancel my program?
If you need to cancel your program- you must give a one week notice to ECU Campus Recreation and Wellness. You should contact the Leadership and Team Training Specialist (252-328-2944) directly if you need to cancel/re-schedule. If you cancel less than one week from the date of your program- you may have to forfeit your deposit or be asked to provide payment in advance for the next program you schedule with us (this decision is at the discretion of ECU Campus Recreation and Wellness). If a group is more than thirty minutes late- they may be considered a "no show" and the program canceled. In this circumstance- the group may be charged for the program (by having to forfeit deposit) or asked to provide payment in advance to ECU Campus Recreation and Wellness for their subsequent Challenge Course programs.
What time should I be there?
Please tell all your group members to be at the course (field house) at the specific time you have requested for your program. All participants being on time helps start the day right and gives your group more time to meet their goals and have a great time!

College Application Tips
Getting into the college of your choice takes a strong college application, which showcases your top grades, extracurricular activities and personal essay. Every college has different criteria; so remember to stay focused and pay attention to details. Let's get started!
Get the KapMap, your essential college resource! Download
Make a list of your target colleges, and check their websites for application details. Note application and financial aid deadlines and fees, and whether or not they accept the Common Application.
Check in with your counselor to learn each school's expectations for the application process, including the procedure for sending transcripts and what's needed for the counselor recommendation letter. Don't wait until the last minute!
Understand the key factors in college admissions, including standardized test scores and Test Scores for Key Colleges. Here are some Key Factors in College Admissions to help you stay ahead of the curve.
Ask for teacher recommendation letters, and ask early! Colleges typically ask for one to two teacher recommendations and one recommendation from your counselor. Build solid relationships early, and learn how to line up letters of recommendation .
Keep copies of everything.If you apply electronically, make sure to print out every page of your application. If you submit a paper application, make photocopies.
Follow up with admissions several days after you submit to confirm each college received all your materials. If sending your applications through the mail, make sure that you purchase certified mail or delivery confirmation. Keep all postal receipts stapled to your application copies to ensure proof of submission by the deadline.
Here are even more application tips to help set you apart.
What's the Common Application?
The Common Application is a universal application for undergraduate college admissions submitted online and accepted by more than 500 colleges and universities. It compiles the following information into one source:
- Personal Information
- Educational data
- Standardized test scores
- Extracurricular activities
- Teacher recommendations
- Personal essay
Do all colleges accept the Common App?
Most (but not all) colleges accept the Common App. The best way to find out is to check the college website's admissions section.
When is it released and available?
The Common App is released in early August each year, so you'll have plenty of time to build a strong application before the application deadlines. Get started early; you'll be thankful you did.
What are Common App supplements?
Some colleges require the Common App Supplements that include additional questions. Some are available on the Common Application site, while others must be submitted through the college's own website.
What makes an amazing essay?
The key to writing an amazing essay is to make it as personal as possible. This is your chance to provide the admissions board a side of your personality beyond test scores, GPA, teacher recommendations, or activities.
***The Common App lists essay questions to choose from and has a pre-determined essay length. Don't list your accomplishments and activities as there is a place for that in another section of the application. Do tell a clear personal story to show you have something special to bring to the college community.
Rolling Admissions
Some colleges have rolling admissions, which means that they accept applications on a continuous basis up to a certain deadline. One major advantage of rolling admissions is that your child is notified of the college's decision soon after he or she applies, rather than waiting until March or April, when other colleges send out notifications.
Even though the application deadline is more relaxed, your child should not wait until the last minute. Generally, financial aid and housing are still give out on a first-come, first-served basis. While federal aid (including loans) will be available (if you file the FAFSA), scholarships are limited.
Early Action vs. Early Decision
Many students apply "early action" and "early decision", but it is very important to understand the difference.
Early Action
With early action, students apply early (usually around November 15th), are not tied to just one college, and can make their final decision as late as the spring deadline.
Early Decision
Early decision means you apply in the fall and hear the good news by winter break. Colleges tend to accept more early decision applicants because the students who apply under early decision are usually exceptional and certain to attend.
However, there are a few things to consider before applying early decision:
"Do I really want to go to this college?" If accepted, you are bound to attend, and you cannot change your mind.
"Do I want to apply to other colleges, too?" While you can only apply for one college on an early decision basis, you should certainly continue to put together standard application packages for other schools.
"Do I fit the academic profile of the college?" If not, then early decision probably will not help your chances of getting in.
"Should I apply to OTHER colleges if I am not accepted under early decision?" Applying early decision should not be taken lightly. If you are accepted, most schools require that you attend. If you are not accepted, you may not be able to reapply that academic year. Make sure to check each school's specific policy, and prepare to apply to other schools just in case.
The college interview offers you an opportunity to stand out beyond the application with the admissions officer. It allows the admissions officer to get to know the student beyond the personal and academic information on your application.
Remember, interviews are just as much for the student's benefit. It is your chance to discuss your strengths and interests in that particular school, as well as gather any additional information you need to make the best choice.
It's also a great idea to interview alumni from your college(s) of choice, learning from their insight and first hand experiences at college.
Here are some tips to help you do your best:
Review the literature about the college before the interview. At the very least, you want to appear knowledgeable about the school and keenly interested to learn more.
Be prepared for common questions. Admissions officers might throw you a curve-ball to see how you'll react in the interview. Prepare and rehearse your answers to potential tricky questions:
- What was the worst decision you've ever made?
- How would your friends characterize you?
- What is your biggest regret about high school, and if you could change it, what impact would it have on you and in your future as a college student?
- If you were a world leader, what would you do to heal the violence and turbulence in the world?
- How do you see yourself 20 years from now?
- Who is the most influential person in your life and why?
- What are you reading right now?
Have your own questions ready. Some students say that the hardest question you'll get from the interviewer is, in fact, "Do YOU have any questions?" Don't be caught off guard. Having your own questions makes you look prepared and interested. Write them down on a notepad, and take it to the interview. This College Fact Chart will also help you organize your findings and guide your decision.
Bring along your notepad, a copy of your school transcript, and brag file of all your experiences.The notepad should include your prepared interview questions with space for notes, which will demonstrate interest and help you remember details discussed. The transcript and your Brag File of activities will come in handy if you are given an information sheet to fill out prior to your meeting. You won't have to scramble to remember things. It'll all be right there!
Be yourself. The key to getting admitted, and also being happy at college, is matchmaking. You want to bring your best, most authentic self so that the admissions officer interviewing you can decide if this is the right fit.
Remember your manners. Don't forget to thank the interviewer when you're done! Send a follow-up thank you email, mentioning some of the things you discussed in your notebook to help them remember you.

About Christophe Willem
Count Christophe Willem among the myriad young singers launched to fame via the reality TV phenomenon of the early 21st century. Born in Enghien-les-Bains, France, on August 3, 1983, Willem studied piano as a child, later singing as a member of the gospel choir Young Voices. At 14, he composed his first original pop songs. In 2004 Willem starred in the feature film Alive, but his acting career soon stalled and he worked a series of odd jobs while pursuing a degree in communications. On the encouragement of family and friends he auditioned for the 2006 series of the French television amateur showcase Nouvelle Star and quickly proved a fan favorite, earning the nickname "La Tortue" ("The Turtle") from judge Marianne James. Willem eventually bested rival Dominique Michalon for the Nouvelle Star crown, and in July 2006 issued his debut solo single "Sunny." In the spring of 2007 Willem's debut album, Inventaire, was released, debuting atop the French charts. In 2009 he returned with his sophomore release, Caféine, once again it would go straight to the top of the French charts, and saw him collaborating with Kylie Minogue. Two years later Willem released his third album, 2011's Prismophonic. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

If you know the show True Jackson, V.P. then you know True's best friend, Lulu. She's funny, outspoken, and sometimes gets into trouble but she is always there for True. Our Scholastic interviewer caught up with Ashley Argota, the actress who plays Lulu, to ask her about her summer plans, favorite books, and best advice she ever got. Read on for the inside scoop. . .
Q: Favorite books when you were in middle school?
Ashley: Books based on true stories, like about the Titanic. I used to love those books. A Series of Unfortunate Events. I loved those books. And all the Harry Potters.
Q: Summer plans?
Ashley: We're shooting True Jackson until August so we're working. But I'm excited to be working because I love my cast and I enjoy working so much. I'd really rather be working than sleeping at home doing nothing.
Q: Best and worst things about your job?
Ashley: The best thing about my job is that it's my dream and I work with amazing people. I love Keke [Keke Palmer who plays True]. She's one of my best friends and the whole cast is like a family to me. The worst part about my job? I have to wake up at 4:30 in the morning.
Q: What is the best advice you got and who gave it to you?
Ashley: My mom is my hero. She's amazing. She gives me the best advice and I love her. My mom said, "Never let anyone get to you," because there's so much negativity.
Q: What three people living or dead, real or fictional would you invite to dinner together?
Ashley: I'd want to have dinner with Edward Cullen and Jacob so I could find out what it's like to be a vampire and a werewolf, and Meryl Streep because she's amazing.
Q: Last song you downloaded?
Ashley: The last one I downloaded was "I Want You" by Fefe Dobson. Fefe Dobson was on our set for a while, guest starring on an episode.
Q: Any unusual talents people don't know you have?
Ashley: I'm double jointed and can twist my arm all the way around. [Demonstrates!] I can do it better when I'm on the floor.
Q: First celebrity crush?
Ashley: Leonardo DiCaprio. I came out of the theater after seeing Titanic and was holding his invisible hand. My mom was like, "What are you doing?" "Oh, Leonardo is my boyfriend." We carried on for, like, five years!
Q: Favorite thing to cook or eat?
Ashley: To cook and eat, spaghetti. My dad taught me how to cook spaghetti. He makes the best spaghetti. I still can't get it as amazing as he does, but I try.
Q: Biggest fear?
Ashley: Spiders. I'm terrified of spiders and bees.
Q: Dog person or cat person?
Ashley: Dog person. I have a poodle named Annie. A miniature standard poodle mix. She's six years old. I rescued her from a shelter. When we leave laundry on top of the dryer, sometimes she will climb up on the dryer and grab the socks, and eat them!
Q: Do you write poetry or keep a journal?
Ashley: I keep a journal of every day things like what I did at work, or if anything funny happened at work. I want to be able to read my journal in 20 years and remember what happened.
Q: If you could have a different career what would that be?
Ashley: I'd go into medicine. I actually just got accepted to NYU College of Nursing. I'm going to have to defer depending if we get picked up for a third season but I'm definitely going to go at some point. I was always interested in medicine since I was little. My mom's a nurse, so it kind of came from her. I love acting, but that's my backup plan.
Q: Fave motto?
Ashley: Never give up. I was going to quit because there's so much disappointment and so much negativity but I ended up doing this, so it's been amazing.
It's a good thing Ashley didn't quit acting because then she never would have been on a hit show, and she never would have been slimed!
Oh wait, maybe being slimed is a bad thing. . . I don't know. . . but it kind of looks like fun to me!

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon Tours Geothermal Plant in East Africa's Great Rift Valley02/
Full Steam Ahead Towards a Green Economy in Kenya Nairobi, 2 April 2011 - The rise of geothermal energy in Kenya's Great Rift Valley was witnessed today by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon who toured the Olkaria plant northwest of the country's capital of Nairobi. He was joined by Energy Minister, Kiraitu Murungi, Managing Director of the energy company Kengen, Eddy Njoroge and members of the UN Chief Executives Board, including UN Under-Secretary General and UNEP Executive Director, Achim Steiner.Africa's largest Geothermal Power Station, Olkaria generates over 150 Megawatts (MW) into the national grid, with Kenya aiming for 1200 MW by 2018.The state-of-the-art plant, located on the Great Rift Valley, operates on a single flash plant cycle with steam consumption of 7.5 t/h/MW. Geothermal power generation requires exploration and drilling for steam generated by the 'hot rocks' of relatively young geological areas to turn the electricity-generating turbines. But high up-front costs and the substantial risks involved in geothermal development have meant only a fraction of the Great Rift Valley's geothermal potential has been exploited.In 2002 the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) began working with the National Power Generation Utility of Kenya (KenGen) on the Joint Geophysical Imaging (JGI) for the Geothermal Reservoir Assessment project, with the aim of lowering geothermal development costs by improving the interpretation of geophysical data, and so reducing the number of expensive, unproductive wells. Working at KenGen's Olkaria facility, improvements in imaging and interpretation have increased the chances of hitting steam, and made it easier to identify wells of high generation potential. The UN Secretary-General said: "It is a remarkable story, not just in terms of renewable energy and climate change, but in partnership and development. It is among a growing number of examples of how the United Nations, the World Bank, donor governments and the private sector are supporting forward-looking public policies -policies that can help to reduce poverty and lay the foundations for a truly sustainable future."Through its sustainable, value-added approach, the Olkaria project has contributed to technology transfer and capacity building through training of KenGen scientists and technicians, and has increased power generation and supply reliability while simultaneously reducing costs and benefiting the environment. The JGI project improved geophysical data interpretation techniques and provided state-of-the-art equipment for exploration, using Micro Seismic (MEQ) and Magneto Telluric (MT) surveys and analysis to identify promising new drilling sites. UNEP, with funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF), contributed US$1 million towards total costs of US$2.7 million. Duke University in North Carolina, United States, collaborated on the project, which has resulted in substantial savings on the proposed development of geothermal resources in Kenya, and there are plans to replicate this in the wider region. In addition, the project has provided sustainable capacity in these advanced techniques at KenGen's Olkaria facility.The project has already shown its regional potential, with KenGen using its expertise to help Rwanda, Eritrea and Zambia assess and develop their geothermal resources. A regional project involving numerous partners, including UNEP, has been initiated in six East African countries: Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, to tap into the Rift Valley's vast, unexplored geothermal potential. The African Rift Geothermal (ARGeo) project, supported by UNEP through a GEF contribution of US$17 million, will provide a platform for accelerated geothermal development and investment. Initial estimates are that these investments could lead to close to 900,000 tonnes of CO2 emission savings per year, and well over 17 million tonnes over 20 years. It is expected that these pilot projects will generate additional interest in geothermal technologies and that this sustainable resource will be exploited in many of countries bordering the Rift.For more information, please contact:Nick Nuttall, UNEP Spokesperson/Head of Media, on Tel: +254 (0)733632755 or when travelling +41 79 596 5737, E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Zorba, Head, UNEP Newsdesk on Tel +254 20 7623088 or E-mail: email@example.com more Stories on Geothermal Development on UNEP.org:Geothermal Q & A http://www.unep.orgFrom Fire to Flowers - Kenya's Renewable Energy Cyclehttp://www.unep.org/Documents.Multilingual/Default.asp?DocumentID=653&ArticleID=6859&l=en&t=longGeothermal Electricity Set for Rift Valley Lift-Off in 2009http://www.unep.org/Documents.Multilingual/Default.asp?DocumentID=553&ArticleID=6025&l=en&t=longHot Prospect - Geothermal Electricity Set for Rift Valley Lift-Off in 2009http://www.unep.org/Documents.Multilingual/Default.asp?DocumentID=553&ArticleID=6017&l=en&t=longGeothermal Energy Rocks!http://www.unep.org/Documents.Multilingual/Default.asp?DocumentID=553&ArticleID=6030&l=en&t=longGeothermal Power Boost for Kenya and Eastern Africahttp://www.unep.org/Documents.Multilingual/Default.asp?DocumentID=309&ArticleID=3963&l=en&t=long

I often take living in Houston for granted. I'm sure I'm not the first person to ever say something like, "I am so sick of living here. There's nothing to do. I'd love a change of scenery." Other than four years of college (Sic 'Em Bears!) and a few years living in Dallas, I have lived in Houston my entire life. Probably my favorite thing to do is travel and explore new places so it doesn't surprise me that I get bored with my surrounds.
On the flip side, being a native Houstonian makes my job as a realtor a lot easier. Often times my job also makes me realize that Houston is a really awesome place to live. A recent client experience renewed my love for my hometown city.
My client's company relocated to Houston from Savannah, Georgia. They were a younger couple and knew nothing about Houston. I spent three full days with them looking for a one year rental property. We covered the entire city and as I chauffeured them from property to property, I described each neighborhood. Being a native Houstonian, I could tell them at least a 30 year history of each little area and how it has changed over the years. I probably gave them more information than they ever cared to know, including but not limited to the following….
- I pointed out the empty lot in the Heights that sells the best snow cones in town during the summer.
- We passed the exit for Chinatown and I pointed out Triple Tree, the best place to get an hour reflexology massage for $30…just ask for Peter.
- I described in detail one of my all-time favorite areas of Houston…Hermann Park, Miller Outdoor Theater, the Museum District, and the Zoo, including the paddle boats and train.
- They have seen their first of many Art Cars.
- I explained how the Houston freeway system looks like a wheel from an aerial view.
- They now know the pure delight that is Gaidos, Swinging Door, and Shipley's.
- We passed Minute Maid Park, Reliant Stadium, the Toyota Center, and Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church (or The Summit as we fondly recall).
- The Livestock Show & Rodeo is always fun to explain to out-of-towners. Don't worry, I didn't forget to mention the BBQ cookoff.
Of course, I couldn't leave out all the other things that make Houston an incredible city….The Theater District, Galveston, Discovery Green, Memorial Park, all that is Montrose, our best golf courses, the amazing suburb communities that surround the greater city, our school systems, Kemah boardwalk, Sam Houston Racetrack, Bayou Bend, NASA….the list can literally go on and on!
It's times like these, when I was literally driving my clients around in circles but they had no clue, that I remember what a special place Houston is to me. It is the ultimate melting pot of people, cultures, and experiences. So when I am broke and cannot afford to take an exotic vacation, I will try to remember this post. I'll hop in the car and venture over to Ninfa's on Navigation or to Phoenicia Specialty Foods and pretend I am somewhere else for a while.
Houston, I owe you an apology. Thanks for all you offer and for allowing me to call you home.

Does Soy Affect Fertility?
The popularity of soybeans in the United States has increased dramatically over the last 20 years as more scientific evidence found them a healthy, meat-free source of protein that also lowers cholesterol, decreases menopausal symptoms and the risk of osteoporosis, as well as breast cancer and heart disease.
Soy foods (as well as chick peas and other legumes) contain a type of phytoestrogen (plant-derived estrogen), known as isoflavones. Two primary isoflavones found in soy are genistein and daidzein. Some of these isoflavones act as a mild estrogen in the body, while others act as antiestrogens, reducing the activity of estrogen. It is this estrogen property that benefits menopausal women and protects others from breast cancer; however, scientists have discovered that soy's estrogen component may decrease fertility.
The Science
The field of study on the effects of soy on fertility is fairly new, so there have been only a handful of studies dedicated to this topic.
In 1994, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported that high levels of soy can increase menstrual cycle length by an average of 2.5 days, decrease FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and decrease LH (luteinizing hormone). However, the amount of soy necessary to achieve these results is equivalent to drinking three 12-ounce glasses of soy milk (60 g soy protein is equivalent to 45 mg of isoflavones) every day for one month, an amount that exceeds most regular consumption.
In more research performed at King's College London and reported in 2005, scientists studied the effects of the isoflavone genistein on human and mouse sperm. They found that human sperm were more than three times as likely to lose their acrosomes (caps that enable them to penetrate the egg) an hour after genistein exposure than before exposure.
However, other studies have found evidence that suggests soy does not have any negative effect on fertility. Some reports point to the fact that in countries where soy products are consumed in large amounts, such as China and Japan, the birth rate is comparable to that of countries where soy is not a part of the daily diet.
In 1998, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported on a study conducted at the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Alabama at Birmingham in which researchers injected prepubescent rats with genistein. They did not find any significant alterations to fertility, number of male or female offspring, body weight, menstrual cycle, or follicular development.

FGD: On Frozen Pond
Ryan Pike
March 08 2013 11:26AM
Unlike most people, your Calgary Flames really hate going to Disneyland.
While other people go to Disneyland, ride Space Mountain and fill themselves up with cotton candy and childhood whimsy, all the Flames do in Anaheim is lose. The last time the Calgary Flames won a hockey game in Anaheim was January 19, 2004. That was before the last two NHL lockouts.
The Flames roster included Roman Turek, Jamie McLennan, Denis Gauthier, Jordan Leopold, Chuck Kobasew, Shean Donovan, Chris Clark, Matthew Lombardi, Oleg Saprykin, Lynn Loyns, Andrew Ference, Craig Conroy, Martin Gelinas, Josh Green, Steven Reinprecht, Robyn Regehr, Toni Lydman, Krzysztof Oliwa, Dean McAmmond and Rhett Warrener. Conroy had a four-point night and Gelinas had the game-winning goal in a 5-1 rout. Both are currently part of the Flames hockey operations department and both, oddly, will be in the building for the Flames' return to the house of horrors. The only Flames still around from that era are Miikka Kiprusoff and Jarome Iginla, who by sheer coincidence both missed that game due to injury.
Since January 2004, the Flames have lost 15 straight regular season visits to Anaheim's Honda Center, going 0-10-5 in the process. In a more encouraging note, the Flames have gone 0-3-5 over the last four seasons in Anaheim, so at least they're getting points. But they'd much rather get two points, particularly in a season where they're trying to stay above that pesky .500 mark.
Can the Flames change the House of Mouse from a house of horrors into a house of victory? Find out tonight at 8:30pm MT on Sportsnet 960 The Fan and Sportsnet West.
The Flames have quietly been on a bit of a tear of late, going 4-1-1 in their last six and picking up wins over Minnesota, Phoenix, Vancouver and San Jose. That's got to give them some confidence. More encouragingly, the Flames have scored four or more goals in four of their last five games – the lone exception being their 2-1 overtime loss against Minnesota. Now that Miikka Kiprusoff is back in the saddle, the message is likely "if you can score four, you should always win."
Jarome Iginla has six goals in his last five games. The Flames' PK has only allowed two goals in the last nine games (or two in the last 30 kills), while the PP has produced four goals in the same time-span. If that continues, the team will be in good shape.
Given Calgary's success last game it's not likely that they'll change up their line substantially. Here's how things ended last game.
- Glencross – Stajan - Stempniak
- Hudler – Cervenka – Iginla
- Tanguay – Cammalleri - Comeau
- Baertschi – Jackman - McGrattan
- Giordano – Bouwmeester
- Wideman – Butler
- Brodie – Smith
- Kiprusoff
The obvious change may come on the fourth line, as Comeau may stay on the third line but that leaves the fourth without an actual centre. So expect somebody to rotate out so that Steve Begin can slot back in. The top two lines both performed rather well against San Jose, while Chris Butler ate up a ton of minutes.
The Ducks are rolling, with just three regulation losses all season and a 3-0-2 record in their last five games. Oddly, their last three games have been against the Phoenix Coyotes. The club is second only to those pesky Chicago Blackhawks in the Western Conference standings.
Here's how their lines were last game.
- Getzlaf – Perry - Ryan
- Winnik – Koivu – Cogliano
- Beleskey – Bonino – Selanne
- McMillan – Holland - Etem
- Fowler – Lydman
- Beauchemin - Souray
- Sbisa - Lovejoy
- Fasth
I'd expect Victor Fasth to start, but that's merely a guess as he's their number-one nowadays. That Ducks top line is quite good (combining for 66 points so far), while their second line is also pretty solid. Their fourth line has potential, which is a polite way of saying they're not great yet but might be at some point down the road. Also, Ryan Getzlaf was re-signed for 8 years today, so expect him to be their first line center until the next lock-out.
The last time the Flames faced the Ducks, Ben Lovejoy was with the Penguins. His addition fills out their defense corps a bit and makes them a bit harder to play against. Of course, the thing that makes them tough to play against is the fact that the team has bought into Bruce Boudreau's systems and are playing a strong team game.
The Ducks are quite good and have already beaten Calgary this year. But with the Flames full of piss and vinegar with a handful of recent wins and the return of Miikka Kiprusoff, there may be no better time than the present for Calgary to exorcise some Disneyland demons.
After all, the losing streak in the O.C. has to end eventually, right? Right?
March 08 2013, 10:32PM
At least Kipper is padding his save percentage.
March 08 2013, 10:32PM
Chances ended up 6-4 ANA in the second. They took over in the latter half of the period.
Jarome's line is giving up the most chances against so far.
I get no joy in seeing the oil crap out because they'll get another top 5 pick. Well just miss the playoffs again and another crap pick ! Totally dissapointed tonight!
I can't wait for the cliches by sportsnet 'analyzing' this game...
March 08 2013, 10:35PM
All I can say is F---. Giordano is brutal. Two giveaways in 2 consecutive games that have led to 2 goals, fortunately, they scored more than San Jose, but this game, they were already trailing. Kiprusoff was lights out last game, this game, no way he is at 100% The fact that Fasth is un flippin conscious is something else. Shots on goal before the second goal, 22-9 for Calgary, the 2nd period ends 22-15.
What a waste of the last 2 hrs. Nice effort punks ! On to LA to get worked over like a thanksgiving turkey! Blow this pile of turd up!
Gio should sit. He has been a liability often this year. He is better that this which is the frustrating part. But does not help when you outshoot /chance and don't finish. Frustrating. Those bad Gio commercials are not helping.
Chances ended up 6-4 ANA in the second. They took over in the latter half of the period.
Jarome's line is giving up the most chances against so far.
Was reading on the fourth period that it sounded like Jerome hasnt even started negotiations yet, which seems weird to me & that if they are out of the playoffs by the trade deadline he has OK'd a trade. How legit are these guys?
March 08 2013, 10:39PM

Have any of the Flames lines been effective at all?
Giordano is playing pre-Russia . He looks aweful! I think bob thinks comeau and stajan are the greatest thing since sliced bread! Make me sick!
March 08 2013, 10:41PM
I know goaltenders take a lot of heat when they let a lot of goals in, but can you imagine trying to see under/around/over 2-3-4 guys that are at least 6'1" and 200+ pounds, when a guy at the point is teeing up a 95 mph slap shot?
Poor Sven! They're screwing with his confidence and potential! Begin isn't even nhl worthy!
March 08 2013, 10:43PM
Schadenfreude i/ˈʃɑːdənfrɔɪdə/ (German: [ˈʃaːdənˌfʁɔʏdə]) is pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others...see Oilers Nation
March 08 2013, 10:43PM
@Chris Fairfield
Yeah. Top two lines above water for sure.
March 08 2013, 10:45PM
I ask myself before each Calgary game, which Flames team will show up.
A. The team that go balls out for the first 20 minutes, scores and then sits back.
B. The team that comes out flat, gets in a deep hole and then almost comes back, but falls short.
C. A team that plays consistent for a full 60 minutes.
Tonight, who knows. If they are going down, go down swinging, not whimpering, with sloppy passes and no trafiic in front of Fasth. Start a fight for god's sake!
If I'm iggy I'm all over a trade! What does he get out of playing here...empty promises and almost identical signings year after year? Make it happen iggy!
You guys get pleasure from the oil sucking? I don't! Now if its the nucks, that's as good as two wins! The oil just keep loading up on picks and we get older and older and older!
March 08 2013, 10:48PM
This kid is NOT asking Gio the right questions....
Hat trick for McGratten coming up..here we go!
Later kids. Had my fill now! Thought we might have a chance tonight! Gonna get ugly this weekend!
This kid is NOT asking Gio the right questions....
Hey Gio, why do you turn the puck over so much? Do you know how to make a pass to a teammate?
March 08 2013, 10:51PM
"Stickhandling in a phone book!"
Oh Kerr.
Pens are very interested in Iggy, he and Crosby could do some damage in the playoffs.
March 08 2013, 10:57PM
"Stickhandling in a phone book!"
Oh Kerr.
After Tom Swifties, you'll soon find Rob Kerrisms.
"Stickhandling in a phone book!" CALLED Rob Kerr
March 08 2013, 10:59PM
Chances are 3-1 in this period for CGY so far, including at least 2 10-bellers. Can't buy one.
March 08 2013, 11:00PM
Giordano better be benched next game.
sorry, double post
March 08 2013, 11:00PM
Giordano better be benched next game.
Another Giordano giveaway, that's 3.
March 08 2013, 11:01PM
Doesn't show in standings but if Avalanche make playoffs healthy they could do some damage...I wish we could swap our roster for theirs.
March 08 2013, 11:03PM
15 blocked shots for Ducks
March 08 2013, 11:03PM
Tanguay has been invisiable this game.
I hope Begin is done.
March 08 2013, 11:06PM
As bad as the results are, I have to give credit to the Stajan line tonight. They've been really good and have faced the tougher minutes to boot.
March 08 2013, 11:08PM
How close is Backlund to being cleared?
Wishful thinking.
March 08 2013, 11:09PM
How close is Backlund to being cleared?
Might play tomorrow... MAYBE. According to Roger Millions, he's real close
March 08 2013, 11:10PM
No shots on net on the PP? Shocking. The Flames are making the most of their up tempo play this year.
March 08 2013, 11:12PM
Wow. What god did Gio piss off in the summer?
March 08 2013, 11:13PM
Is tomorrow's game on CBC?
March 08 2013, 11:13PM
The better team loses 4-0. Too bad, and very deflating.
Gio now sits. Thank god we have Sarich. Nice to have depth.
March 08 2013, 11:15PM
Wow. What god did Gio piss off in the summer?
I don't know but he made the Pope quit too.
In honour of VF going to the Price is Right tomorrow:
The price is wrong b*tch!
March 08 2013, 11:15PM
Wow. What god did Gio piss off in the summer?
The God of Complacency
I don't know but he made the Pope quit too.
Hahahahaha yes.
Is this really the team feasters settling with? Wow. They looked like little boys out there. Loved the quote by bob that said he wanted his biggest guys out there! Hilarious! Lol city tonight! We blow chunks!

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
With only two games left in region 12 action this season, the Emery High Spartan baseball team is jockeying for position in the upcoming 3-A state tournament. With five of the six region teams making the tournament this season, actually making it is not an issue. The issue is where does one play on the opening weekend and against whom.
As of right now, Delta leads the action with a 6-1 record followed by Richfield at 4-2. North Sanpete is dead last at 0-6. The other three teams are bunched together with Manti at 4-3, Emery at 4-4 and Juab at 3-5. Emery has region games remaining against Delta at home and North Sanpete on the road.
Last week, Emery defeated Manti for the second time this season, this time by a score of 8-7 and then the Spartans avenged an earlier loss by defeating Juab at Juab by the score of 15-0.
Manti and Emery each scored a single run in the first inning. Manti scored once in the second inning and Emery scored once in the third inning as the two teams were tied at 2-2 after three innings in the seven-inning game. Manti scored twice in the fourth and Emery responded with one run and Manti led 4-3 after four innings. Emery scored two runs in the fifth inning to grab their first lead of the day at 5-4. In the top of the sixth inning, Manti scored four runs to regain the lead but Emery came back in the bottom of the inning to score three runs behind a Geren Payne homerun and Emery led 8-7. Starting pitcher Payne then shut Manti down in the top of the seventh inning and Emery had the win.
Emery had 12 base hits in the game while Payne only gave up six hits to the Templars. Emery did commit three errors in the game that helped Manti score runs as only three of the Manti runs were earned. Both teams left six runners on base.
Five Spartan batters had two hits apiece in the game. Payne had a single besides the homer, had three RBIs and Payne scored twice. Gage Bell had a pair of singles and scored once. Nick Stoddard had two singles and walked once and scored a run. Chance Huntington had a pair of doubles, a base on balls and scored once. Tanner Ewell had a double and a single in the game. Nathan Mecham and Tappan Draper each had a hit for the Spartans.
At Juab, Nathan Mecham started on the mound and stifled the Wasp batters all game long. Mecham gave up four hits and a single walk in the shortened contest.
The Emery batters came ready to play as the first two batters singled for Emery and the Spartans scored four runs in the first inning. Emery scored three more in the second, four in the fourth and four in the fifth inning as the game got over early.
In the first inning, Mecham led off with a single followed by a Bell single. After Payne got hit by a pitch, Tappan Draper walked and all would eventually score in the inning. In the second inning, it was Mecham getting hit by a pitch followed by a Payne single. Both scored on a Kash Jewkes homerun.
In the fourth inning, Mecham got hit for the second time, Bell singled for the second time and Payne then got hit by a pitch for the second time to load the bases. Kash Jewkes then hit his second home run of the day and Jewkes now had seven RBIs in the game.
In the last inning of the game, Jewkes finished it off with a double that scored three Emery base runners and finished the game with ten RBIs, two homers and a double and two runs scored. With the homeruns, Kash in now the 3-A leader in that category and is second in the state with eight home runs this season.
Mecham finished the game with a pair of singles and those two times being hit and scored three times. Bell also scored three times in the game and finished with a pair of singles. Payne scored four times in the game as he got hit twice, singled once and walked once. These are the first three batters of Emery's lineup and Jewkes follows in the clean-up spot.
Emery plays Gunnison this Tuesday in a non-region game and then will travel to Mt. Pleasant on Friday as they look forward to keeping the Hawks winless in region action.

Statement by Dr. Liesbeth Lijnzaad Legal Adviser, Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Statement by Dr. Liesbeth Lijnzaad
Legal Adviser, Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs
United Nations General Assembly, 68th Session
Sixth Committee
Agenda item 81
Report of the International Law Commission (Part 1)
New York, 29 oktober 2013
Chapters I – III, IV, V and XII
Mr. Chairman,
1. Let me first of all congratulate the International Law Commission on the progress of its work this year. The report gives us an interesting overview of the discussions about a broad range of questions of international law. And I also wish to congratulate Mr. Vázquez-Bermúdez who was elected to the Commission to fill a casual vacancy. We wish him wisdom in his work in the Commission.
Chapter IV
(Subsequent agreements and subsequent practice in relation to the interpretation of treaties)
2. On the topic of subsequent agreements and subsequent practice in relation to the interpretation of treaties, we thank the Commission, and more specifically the Special Rapporteur, Professor George Nolte, for his work. The work is still in its early stages. So far, it demonstrates that the commentaries of the ILC on the rules it formulates are as important, or perhaps even more important than the rules themselves. The initial draft conclusions presented by and large restate existing provisions of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, but the commentaries provide a rich and considerate analysis of the interpretation and application of these provisions.
3. In recent times, the focus of the international community seems to shift from the development of norms, towards the implementation of norms that the international community has agreed upon. It befits this paradigm shift in international relations that the Commission focuses on the implementation of, and compliance with international law. As an expert body of the General Assembly, the Commission can avail itself, through the Secretariat, of the necessary assistance of United Nations member states to provide the materials required to analyze state practice and opinio juris of states. Their collection, analysis and presentation by the Commission are valuable input for the work of international courts and tribunals.
4. This being said, my government hopes, as work on the topic continues, that it will be possible for the Commission to distill conclusions from state practice and opinio juris of states that go beyond restating existing provisions and have added value.
Chapter V
(Immunity of state officials from foreign criminal jurisdiction)
Mr. Chairman,
5. I would like to turn to the topic of immunity of state officials from foreign criminal jurisdiction. Allow me first of all to commend the Special Rapporteur, professor Concepción Escobar Hernández, for her second report on the topic; her thorough analysis of the matter has obviously contributed substantially to the discussion in the Commission on the drafting of the first four articles. Although the Special Rapporteur broached many highly important and interesting questions concerning the topic, I will concentrate on the Commission's draft articles and commentaries thereto.
6. The scope of the draft articles deliberately leaves open an important issue of terminology for later discussion and decision; that is to say the desirability of the term "State officials". We would like to reiterate what we said last year, that is that we consider the term "representative of the State acting in that capacity" probably a more suitable wording which can also be found in the 2004 Convention on Jurisdictional immunities of States and their property. This wording would indeed cover the intention, of the Commission (and States), to extend immunity from criminal jurisdiction to officials other than the traditional troika (the Head of State, Head of Government and Minister of Foreign Affairs) and to those (diplomats and others) falling under special immunity regimes. My Government is of the opinion that under customary international law all members of official missions are entitled to immunity from criminal jurisdiction. They must be regarded as temporary diplomats who need immunity to be able to perform their duties. Of course, the term "official mission" requires further definition. These missions should (a) be temporary in nature, and (b) represent a State, (c) be a mission to the Government of the receiving State, who has (d) consented to receiving that mission.
7. A second element on which I would like to comment is the deliberate restriction of the work to immunity from the criminal jurisdiction "of another State." As the Commission considers in a commentary "the immunities enjoyed before international criminal tribunals…will remain outside the scope of the draft articles". That may be true, but it cannot imply that international criminal law is completely outside the scope of the draft articles. After all, international criminal law entails obligations which are in many countries incorporated in national criminal law. The Commission was not in a position to definitively address this issue yet since diverse views were expressed with regard to possible conflicting obligations. Certainly for my country, being host state to the International Criminal Court and many other international criminal tribunals, this question is of great importance.
8. We have to recognize that functional immunities are immunities which cling to those who enjoy immunity ratione personae, even after they have left office. The Commission's commentary correctly reminds us of the fact that Heads of State, Heads of Government or Ministers of Foreign Affairs may, during their term of office have carried out acts in an official capacity which do not lose that quality merely because the term of office has ended and may accordingly be covered by immunity ratione materiae.
9. The Netherlands Government assumes however that there is international law developing to exclude functional immunities of State officials suspected of international crimes committed in the course of their duties. Thus national courts may at times not be precluded from exercising criminal jurisdiction over such persons.
10. Even where the Dutch International Crimes Act does not distinguish between immunity ratione personae and immunity ratione materiae, the Explanatory Memorandum to this legislation indicates that, in general, rules of international immunity law have gradually become less absolute and more relative, for example by accepting that Heads of State and Government and Ministers of Foreign Affairs, after they have ceased to hold office, will no longer enjoy immunity for private acts committed while in office. This trend towards more limited immunity has continued in recent years. I would like to recall that the independent Dutch Advisory Committee on Issues of Public International Law in a 2011 report on immunity of foreign state officials drew a clear distinction between immunity ratione personae and immunity ratione materiae. One of the findings in this report is that immunity ratione materiae does not extend to international crimes committed in the course of duty. Only persons enjoying immunity ratione personae are entitled to full immunity, including immunity for the exercise of jurisdiction over international crimes.
Chapter XII
(Other decisions and conclusions of the Commission)
Mr. Chairman,
11. Some final words on the idea to include in the long-term program of the Commission the topic of Crimes against humanity. There is no doubt that the prevention and prosecution of this horrendous crime is of the utmost importance, and we do believe this is an issue that requires the constant vigilance of the international community. Thus we appreciate that the Commission has been looking into the desirability of formulating a specific instrument with respect to crimes against humanity. However, we consider that this issue needs to be addressed in the light of the Rome Statute, and the need to ensure its universality in the near future.
Mr. Chairman,
12. The formulation of article 7 of the Statute of the International Criminal Court has greatly contributed to specifying and defining the crime against humanity. It has been an achievement to agree to this provision, and indeed to establish the Statute. We would suggest this is a definition applicable to States parties to the Rome Statute and States not party alike. Furthermore, let us not forget that crimes against humanity are part of the jurisprudence of among others the Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, and as such a well-established part of customary international law.
13. In our view, therefore, what is needed for the prevention and prosecution of crimes against humanity at this stage is a reinforced focus on improving the international capacity to prosecute such crimes at domestic level. Also because of the importance of the principle of complementarity, we must build on the system of the Rome Statute and facilitate cooperation between the judicial authorities of our States in order to strengthen the investigation and prosecution of crimes against humanity at the domestic level, while maintaining the integrity of what was agreed in the Rome Statute.
14. We consider that it is not the definition of the crime that is missing, but the operational tools to ensure prosecution. Particularly in situations where crimes have taken place in another State than the prosecuting States, and in cases with many international aspects, it is of key importance that we connect the relevant judicial systems so as to promote inter-state cooperation to ensure prosecution. Thus the missing link is an international instrument on mutual legal cooperation covering all the major international crimes, including crimes against humanity. This, we believe could provide a hands-on and operational approach to ensuring prosecution for an absolutely abhorrent crime. Together with Argentina, Belgium and Slovenia my country has taken the initiative to propose the opening of the negotiations for such an instrument at the UN Crime commission in Vienna. We hope that others will join us in this effort.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman
