Skip to comments.Cain: Allen West for VP
Posted on 04/09/2012 11:10:31 AM PDT by Free ThinkerNY
Appearing on the Steve Gill Show on Radio America Monday morning, former presidential candidate and pizza mogul Herman Cain said Florida Rep. Allen West should be Mitt Romneys pick for vice president.
Heres why: he is well spoken. He is direct. People in Florida love him. He has a huge following. He is from Florida Florida is going to be one of those key states, Cain said. But more importantly, Col. Allen West is a dedicated patriot; he served in the military, and hes willing to serve his country some more.
Now I know that there might be some push back on his part because hes just in his first term as a United States congressman, Cain went on, but my advice to him, if he were to ask me, is you served your country well, and now you have a higher calling, and I would strongly recommend that he consider it, depending on any personal consideration that he might have.
Cain is not the first major Republican figure to put Wests name forward for the VP slot. Earlier this month, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said West was at the top of her list for possible GOP vice presidential candidates.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...
Allen West would be a president like George Washington. Honor.
West as VP would make me happy, and I am not happy with a Romney nomination.
Would be very pleased if AW were selected.
I like the way Sarah & Herman think.
I could vote for that.
I like Allen West too! Would have preferred him for president, not VP.
Maybe he could run against the RINO after 4 years. He would truly be a leader of our military!
I continue to think that Romney will ask Rubio, and he'll accept---despite the citizenship controversy. I trust Rubio about as much as Romney, and would vote for that ticket reluctantly.
I like Allen West. But he has his own re election to worry about this fall.
I would hate to see him lose his election because he became the VP nominee and lost in the general election.
Hopefully a Romney/West ticket would stop the wasted bandwidth here on FR preaching to the choir that Romney is not the ideal nominee.
His day will come. It would be an honor to vote for him.
I like Allen, have given to his campaign more than once, but I will be VERY SURPRISED if that will happen.
West for VP? Is that to offset the fact that the nominee (Romeny) attends an even more racist church than the Jeremiah Wright Church of hate all the white people? What a pathetic joke. I don't ever want to hear another of these talk show blowhards lecture me and yell and scream at me about LIBERTY. When you nominate someone who believes in Liberty then I'll tune in again.
(Romney: Oh I agree with Obama. Women need to be in Augusta. Please, please please. See how moderate I am? Vote proudly for pablum and mush VOTE ROMNEY
I would be pleased and proud to have Alan West as our first black American president.
Never happen. Milt will pick a "safe" candidate.
This is the 2nd time they have given us an absolute dolt, and then try to appease the base ( now the Tea Party ) with a rock ribbed Conservative VP. If they gave us a Conservative from square one maybe we wouldn't be so pissed off!
So they think they can make us happy with West, really? Didn't work for ya when ya went with Sarah now did it, heck you did everything in your power to destroy her, and after Romney gets his head handed to him they will do the same to Col West...
West does not have the political experience to be VP. The VP must be an attack dog for the Administration. West is not an attack dog.
West does NOT yet have reliable conservative credentials. His early support of the Debt Ceiling increase was not a conservative stand. He caved early.
West may yet show himself to be a strong conservative, or just another RINO.
Recall that Jimmy Carter was a good sailor. So was LBJ, as were many other Liberal politicians. Don't let West's fine military service blind you to his potentially poor political skills. And, a uniform is no guarantee of conservatism.
I like West, but I'm not sure that an association with Romney would be good for his career. Not that it's likely to matter, since I doubt Romney would choose him.
Is this a matter of who's supposed to TRY to save the Titanic Romney?
"West as VP would make me happy, and I am not happy with a Romney nomination."
Not until he quits and publicly denounces, on the way out the door, the openly racist CBC.
He lacked experience and gravitas.
Count me in on the Allen West for VP bandwagon.
Gingrich/West would make a great ticket.
It would make for a re-run of 2008, when most of us voted for the VP candidate, and not the imbecile at the top of the ticket.
I am all in favor of Allen West for VP pick, the question is, can we get this past the swarm of flies and hangers-on that surround the Romney campaign?
This is not to say that Mitt is anything like having an absolute lock on the nomination presently, but as of the moment, it is going to be mighty hard to stop this runaway train.
Prayer, or even hard work, may or may not halt the march toward coronation of Mitt Romney in August. In the event we are stuck with Mitt, our fall-back position shall be to attempt control of the platform, and the promotion of one of our own in the #2 spot.
Still won't get me to vote Romney.
There is no citizenship controversy. Rubio was born in Miami, Florida and is a natural born citizen, he is over 35 years old, and has been a permanent resident of the US for over 14 years. He's eligible to be VP or President. And yes I agree, I believe Rubio will be the VP choice. The ticket looks to me like it is going to be Romney/Rubio.
Allen West for VP of the Black Caucus. He'd make a good one!
Rep. Col. Allen West scares the crap out of Romney because he WILL ALWAYS tell the truth!
..it would be a supreme tragedy to sacrifice someone like Col. West on a sure defeat candidate like Romney—kind of like what happened to Sarah Palin...

Ephesians 4:2-3
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the spirit through the bond.
Life is much like a Garden.
• Relationships are a row in our garden.
• God Planted the seeds to those relationships.
• It is our responsibility to tend to and keep it.
Gen 2:15
Then the Lord took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it.
(Tend to it = protect)
Have you ever seen a garden that was well kept?
One where all the rows were neatly managed and all the weeds were tended to properly. One where the obvious care has produced an abundance of fruit throughout the garden? It is a beautiful thing. But it doesn't just happen on its own.
Have you ever seen a garden that was not well kept?
One where the weeds have begun to grow? Over time they will take over the entire garden, begin to compete with the fruit and eventually choke all of the life out of the garden.
Life is very much like a garden.
If we tend to the weeds in our life, keep all the rows managed and in order, the fruits of our garden will be full and productive. It takes work and it does not just happen on its own.
The nourishment for our garden
comes from the Word of God. God's Word produces life, it is the origin of life.
John 1: 1-5
…In the Beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God.
The relationships the Lord has blessed me with
are the most important areas of my life. When I put the Lord first and my relationship with Him above all else, I tend to experience more peace and joy in my relationships with my wife, my kids, family and friends. When I do not put Him first, all of the other relationships in my life seem to suffer in one way or another. Things seem out of order and communication is lost. To keep my life in order and find that place of peace, I must be in constant prayer with Our Heavenly Father.
Let's look at our relationship with God.
Exodus 33:11
Thus the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend.
Our relationship with God is the most important relationship in our life. God and Moses talked face to face the Tent of Meeting, just as friends do. Do you have a Tent of Meeting? Is there a place in your life where you spend quiet time talking to God? Personally I believe that God's Spirit is everywhere and everything in our life is Spiritual. We can pray to our Father regardless of where we are or what we are doing. We do not have to be at church, in a specific room or any other place to pray and go to God. But, I also believe that quiet time for reading and praying is a good habit to get into as believers. However, it is important that we stay focused on worshiping the Father and not the time itself.
The Word tells us in the book of John where Jesus is talking about a new relationship between us and God the Father. Before His death and resurrection, people approached God through priests. After the resurrection, believers are able to go directly to God.
John 16: 23-24
In that day you will not question Me about anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you. Until now you have asked for nothing in my name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.
Let's look at our relationships with others.
2 Corinthians 6:14
Do not bound together with unbelievers; for what partnerships have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness?
Paul, in this verse is not telling us to not communicate or interact with unbelievers. We are actually called to do that and share our testimony and witness..
(Acts 1:8)
However, he is telling us to not be teamed up with and build binding relationships with non-believers and we are to be careful with who we tie ourselves with in close relationships as to not compromise our faith.
I was in this situation as the Lord delivered me from the bondage of Alcohol. The decisions I made caused me to lose friends and relationships in my life. By keeping those relationships, I would have been compromising my faith and commitment to the Lord. I had to change that part of my life to eliminate the temptation of alcohol.
However, as we all know the word tells us to others as we love ourselves. Romans 13:9. What Paul is telling us in this passage is to tend to the needs of others as we would tend to our own needs. Do not do them harm. Instead, look out for their best interest over our own. That is loving others as we love ourselves.
Let's look at our relationship with our family.
Ephesians 5:22
Wives, be subject to your husbands, as to the Lord.
Ephesians 5:25
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, so that he may sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that He might present Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless.
Paul tells husbands to love and wives to be subject to (or submit). There are many times these verses are taken out of context. That can be dangerous in a relationship. This does not mean submit by giving unlimited authority to her husband. Nor does it mean to be disobedient to God in order to be submissive to her husband. Nevertheless, the word does say for Wives to submit to their husbands. There is no way around it.
Husbands and Fathers
by Derrick Prince –
By her attitude toward her husband, she depicts the attitude of the Church toward Christ. Seen in this context, the submission is not a duty imposed on the wife, but a special privilege granted her.
It also says that husbands should love their wives as Christ loved the Church. Wives should submit to their husbands and husbands to their wives. Just as wives should love their husbands and husbands should love their wives. It is a mutual respect and love for one another as Paul mentions in
Ephesians 5:21
As men and husbands, our primary responsibility on marriage is to love our wife. How are we to love our wife:
• We should be willing to sacrifice everything for her.
• We should make her well-being of major importance in our life.
• We should care for her as we care for ourselves.
That is the Godly husband that wives are to submit to in a marriage. If we, as husbands, can take on that mindset toward our wives, they will not fear submitting to us for feeling cherished and loved.
Challenge from
Husbands and Fathers
by Derek Prince.
An experienced minister was once asked about a certain person, "Is he a good Christian?" The minister replied, "I don't know; I can't tell you yet. I haven't met his wife." That was a wise answer. A husband's success is seen in his wife.
I then took the following test myself and did not pass with flying colors.
Ask yourself – and your wife – the following questions, in order to evaluate how you are doing: Is she secure and fulfilled? Do I feel proud of her? If the answer is yes then you are a successful husband.
We are to honor our wife.
1 Peter 3:7
You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.
This scripture does not mean weaker spiritually, mentally, or emotionally, simply points out that in most cases the woman is weaker in physical strength. In Peter's, John's and Paul's day, a woman unprotected in town, on the street of the city, or just about anywhere had the potential to be physically harmed.
Not unlike where we are today.
Our wives need to feel that we are going to protect, respect, and honor them. They need to know that we will stay with them through the good and the bad. We need to not expect her to hold down a full time job, then come home to a full time job as well. We need to work to lighten her load when possible and be sensitive to her needs, as we are to our own. In short, we should put her needs above our own.
Spiritual Leadership in the Home.
As the men in our families, we have an awesome responsibility to be the spiritual leaders in our homes. According to the Bible, the man is the spiritual head of the family. What does this mean to you and to me?
Spiritual Leadership involves service.
Teach your family to serve one another by serving them and others outside the family. Jesus came to serve and he taught his disciples to serve, to the point of washing their feet. In the same way we are to serve our wives, and family. The heart of serving is taught by example.
Spiritual Leadership involves prayer.
Pray with your wife and pray for your wife. Pray with and for your children. Teach them to be prayerful in life.
Ephesians 6:12
We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
We are literally caught up in a life-and-death struggle with invisible forces in the spiritual realm. One of the most powerful forces we have to stand our ground in spiritual warfare is unity in prayer as a couple, and as a family.
Spiritual Leadership involves sharing the Word.
Read the Word in your home, out load, to you family. Have casual conversations about scripture. Make it a part of everyday life in the home.
Deuteronomy 6:6-7
These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.
That leads us to Children, and our relationship with them.
Ephesians 6:1-2
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother (which is the first commandment with a promise), so that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth.
Exodus 20:12
Honor your father and your mother so that your days may be prolonged in the land which the Lord your God gives you.
Obey and Honor.
What is the difference in obey and honor? Obey means do what one is told, honor means to love and respect. While a child is under the care of his/her parents they are to obey (but not if it means to disobey God) their parents. However, the responsibility to honor your parents is for life. To honor your parents is to show respect for them, even when it is difficult to do. One thing to keep in mind as the spiritual leader of the home is, how we handle that awesome responsibility will determine the hearts of our children. The hearts of our children will determine how they obey and honor their parents. How they learn to obey and honor (by our example), us as fathers is how they will obey and honor God when they own their own faith.
Malachi 4:6
He will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, so that I will not come and smite the land with a curse.
Do you have the hearts of your children?
Relationships, it is difficult to get through life without them. Be it with your wife, your children, co-workers, boss or friends. If you put your relationship with God above all, the other relationships in your life will be more blessed than you can ever imagine.
Just as God commanded Adam to tend to his Garden of Eden, we are to tend to our Gardens of Life. Pull those weeds, how those rows, and give it a shot of life-giving water.
Each and every relationship in your life is a gift from God. Cherish them, tend to them, and respect them. But always remember that the most important relationship that you have is with your Heavenly Father.
Men, here is your tip of the day. Simplify – Know where your heart is and be there.
- When you get home at the end of the day, be there!

Posted on 02/28/2013 7:35:28 AM PST by Squawk 8888
Check out this 15th Century manuscript. Notice anything familiar? In totally-non-shocking-news-of-the-day, it turns out cats have been walking on whatever you're writing since the dawn of time. Emir O. Filipovic of the University of Sarajevo's History Department discovered the medieval kitty prints.
We can only assume that somewhere, beyond the reach of time, in a small ancient monastery in the mountains, the muffled sounds of "SNOWBALL, OFF. OFF. DOWN. GET DOWN, SNOWBALL. BAD KITTY. DAMNIT, SNOWBALL GO SOMEWHERE ELSE," carry across the medieval vales and valleys.
Kitty ping.
I cant remember the name of the Peter Sellers film where he takes a cat who is reclining on his desk and uses it as a blotter. I think Sellers played a lawyer.
Now they do it on keyboards instead of manuscripts. Touch screens are especially fun with critters.
Kitteh esteems your work nawt!
Nothin new- It`s called pussyfootin`\ and pussyfootin` around for centuries here
Check out the manuscript pictured at the link, T-C.
The Wrong Box
The cat wants to be the center of attention. She sees me looking at something (keyboard, monitor) and interposes herself to replace whatever it is I'm concentrating on with her own august presence.
One of mine does, anyway. The other, with the wisdom of her years, simply sits next to the keyboard and fixes me with a steady gaze that says, "You're supposed to be focused on ME!"
HA....I've trained our cat .... when I'm in my office (or other places) I just loudly say "NO" and he backs away...usually to his warm window ledge. Cats CAN be trained.
And how is it that a cat is able to walk across your keyboard and magically push some combination of keys that does something to your computer that it takes you an hour to figure out how to undo it?
It's diabolical, I tell you what.
The Wrong Box - Dr. Pratt - Epilogue
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJbwtyHSu6E&sns=tw via @youtube
But satisfaction brought him back. ;-D
I am the Cat who walks by himself, and all places are alike to me.
My cat (one of them anyways) HATES being blown on. A slight puff of air and he goes RUNNIN'....
That is awesome, you had a dog who was the cat's own personal enforcement officer, LOL.
Our girls, Shadow and Miss Hissy Slashy, are all over Hubby when he's working (trying to anyway) on his computer upstairs. Shadow is especially stubborn. It's his own fault because it's easy for them to get at him. He has a nice, easy-to-jump-on desk that is completely bare on one side.
I have solved this problem by setting up a cat-obstacle course. They get partway through it on the way to my keyboard, and give up.
Feles medievales potest habere cheezburgers
Mine just walked across the keyboard. There's so much cat hair in the keys that half don't work and most of my typos are due to her laying on my hands. She also loves the warm vent and never mind that blocking it will burn up the computer. I keep telling her one day I'm going to fire up the grill but she just licks my chin and shakes out more hair.
Roman-era Ft. Vancouver brick has paw prints
by Keely Chalmers
February 27, 2013 at 6:04 AM
VANCOUVER - A brick unearthed decades ago at Fort Vancouver is back in the spotlight.
The brick was first discovered buried in the ground on the site around 1950, but a recent analysis of its make-up now shows the brick dates back some 2,000 years, all the way back to the Roman Empire.
One of the most interesting aspects of the brick is what was likely not supposed to be on it.
If you look closely at one of its corners youll see two tiny paw prints. Archaeologists suspect its the work of an ancient Roman kitty cat.
We kind of jokingly call it the Celtic Kitty, jumped up on this wet brick probably close to 2,000 years ago and memorialized itself for all eternity, said Bob Cromwell, an archaeologist at Fort Vancouver.
I use an iPad and you would be amazed at some of the links the cat clicks on.
I don't know whaingvf'p[eoawm f09589-kmfdm'
asd,g talking about.
Another victory for Fred!
Yes, that book has Fred the Insane written all over it. He's taken to helping Mommy out in the kitchen lately.
"If spaghetti noodles aren't for paws, why are they warm?"
That's funny. : )
I can see the lab running to the kitchen to see what you are cooing about when you talk to the cat.
I use a water spray bottle for counter/cat control. How boring. I could have used my golden.
If crickets aren't edible, why are they made out of meat?
LOL! Thanks!
Oh he's added crickets to stuff.
Rather briliant of him actually.
NiMH merely tried to teach us to hunt by bringing home live critters, like baby bunnies, squirrels, chipmunks and such which he summarily released into the kitchen.
I've tried the cat-obstacle course with Misty - doesn't even slow her down. If that cat was human she'd be a bunny-boiler.
We had a kitteh (Simba, RIP) who used to scoot out the goggie door and fetch birds. But, he never learned the kill neck-shake (if they don't learn it by one month they never learn) so he just laid on top of it. Scared the carp out of poor Miss Slippy, a freaking bird in the house.
NiMH seemed to think we were funny looing, if defective, cats.
He learned to kill stuff, did so quite often.
It's just that.. he'd bring us live stuff and chatter at us as if amused by our efforts to catch the critters he brought home.
He seriously seemed to be trying to teach us how to hunt critters.
Misty? The bunny boiler? Play Misty For Me. Or Fatal Attraction.
You have to place treats and catnip Hooch mice strategically in all the right places. They never make it through.

Mamma Spook kitty's additional to a paper I am currently working on. She was not pleased when I told her that I was not going to list her as a co-author. :-)
His official title was, "Cat Discipliniarian." He was a wonderfully slobbery, silly, ridiculous dog. Also, I apologize for misidentifying him. He was a pure bred Black Lab.
That's it. Thanks.
Think Fatal Attraction. She's *very* affectionate.
Yes, we have, too. Katie brings her toy with her, plops down at my feet, looks directly into my eyes, and gives a stern meow, over and over until I cave.
I know!!!
There have been a few times that I said, "How did you do that???".
When we had a exercise bike up in the man cave/office, hubby would be on the bike and the cats would come in and walk all over his computer keyboard and/or DAC. He'd yell to no avail, then he started squirting them with a spray bottle of water. That worked but it also got water on sensitive electronics. He solved the problem by using a a few presses of a compressed air canister made for cleaning keyboards and such. Works great and no water problems! Now, if they come near, all he has to do is reach for the canister and they scram.

Thanks Squawk 8888.
I had only been married a few months and we had friends over. I had made my very first cheese cake and went into the kitchen to bring it into the dining room. It had a row of little kitty prints across it. I took a spatula, smoothed it over, and served it. No one died.
This is what kittehs do. Along with shedding, it is one of their primary life-missions.

Nolan N44 Hi-Visibility Helmet.
6 in 1 Crossover design with quick-change accessories allows for customized looks and functions for every ride. Comes with the clear shield, the intergrated sun shield, the peak and the removeable chinbar.
Nolan N44 Helmet Features

- The new mesh chin curtain has wind-noise reducing air wings (included)
- VPS® (Vision Protection System) - Internal scratch-resistant and fog-resistant sunshield is lowered by a slider and retracted instantly by a new button located on the lower trim of the helmet. It is also available in amber, light blue and light smoke.
- New quick-change mechanism makes changing the shield a breeze.
- Face shield is optically correct, and fitted in an exceptionally large eye port. It accepts the new high-performance pinlock® antifog insert with silicone seal (included).

- Ready for the Ncom® system.
- Lightweight aerodynamic polycarbonate shell with built-in spoiler for improved stability.
- Fully removable and washable Clima-Comfort liner is antibacterial, antifungal and wicking. Seperate neck roll lowers wind-noise inside the helmet and is removable in summer.
- The extraordinary venting mechanism is the most complex that has been ever offered in a Nolan helmet: it features the Air-booster system and a venturi effect-based hot air extractor. The central slider controls the opening of the frontal air intake while the two side sliders open and close the air extractors along the side of the crown.
- Microlock2® (adjustable quick release) retention system.
- Velour chin-strap padding.
- DOT approved (in Europe ECE-2205 approved)
Nolan N44 Helmet Sizing
To determine helmet size: Measure around head one inch above eyebrows and across the largest portion on the back of the head and use the following cross reference chart.
Size Chart
Nolan's Italian made N44 Trilogy helmet is made of durable polycarbonate material and weighs in at 3.7 lbs with the chin bar and face shield installed. This DOT and ECE approved lid has a huge available size range including sizes XXS thru XXXL. There are also a bunch of color ways available including two different graphics, with multiple colors per graphic, seven different solids, two high viz colors including this high-viz yellow, and two Outlaw color ways that have three dimensional chrome icons affixed to the forehead rather than the Nolan text. The N44 has a long oval head form, but the construction of the helmet is very forgiving, so many riders with rounder heads will also find this helmet comfortable… This helmet is truly a marvel of modern helmet engineering. Versatility and ease of use can be a very difficult combination to pull off. There are a few helmet companies that offer a removable chin bar and/or interchangeable shield and visor systems, but Nolan's is the easiest to use. Removing the chin bar is as easy as pressing these two levers. The chin bar is lined with EPS foam and latches to the helmet with stainless steel instead of plastic which makes this setup strong enough to get the ECE full face helmet approval in Europe. The chin bar also features a removable chin curtain with these special wings that reduce wind noise. When wearing the helmet without the chin bar installed, install these slot plugs into the helmet where the chinbar attaches to reduce wind noise and buffeting. Reinstallation of the chin bar is also quite simple. The chin bar can be installed by simply aligning the tabs back into the slots and applying firm pressure to the chin bar… There are also three different face shield options. The full coverage face shield is Pinlock ready and equipped with a built in vent block for fog reduction. A clear Pinlock insert is included with your N44 and installs easily. Removing the face shield is as easy as lifting up on this lever on the baseplate and pulling out on the shield. Your N44 also comes with a sun visor that installs easily onto the helmet. Just lift up on the lever on the baseplate, press the visor onto the baseplate and release the lever. If you would rather wear the helmet with no face shield or visor at all, you can install these baseplate covers to the baseplates to clean up the look and reduce buffeting. Simply fit the baseplate covers to the baseplate and rotate to secure. Reverse the process for removal… Another popular feature that has been added to the N44 is a retractable sunshade. Nolan's VPS, or Vision Protection System Sunshade is scratch and fog resistant and is available in optional colors amber, blue, and light smoke. To lower the shade, pull forward on the slider on the lower left side of the helmet. There are two positions. Retracting the visor requires a simple press of this button… Next, let's take a look at the ventilation in the shell. This is Nolan's most sophisticated venting system to date and features separate cold air intake and hot air exhaust channels. To vent in cool air, open the vent in the center marked air in. This vent channels air into the helmet to cool your head. To vent hot, moist air out of the helmet, open these two vents at the sides. Air travels through these channels and across these slotted vent holes in the channel. The Venturi effect draws the hot air through these vents and out of the back of the helmet at the spoiler… The N44 Trilogy is setup to receive Nolan's proprietary N-Com communication system. There are built in speaker pockets in the EPS and in the liner, a controller access point on the left side of the helmet, and an easy access battery compartment at the back of the neck. For questions regarding the N-Com system, contact our customer service center at 1-877-GO-HELMEt… The liner of the N44 is also very sophisticated. It is removable and washable, although when I remove it, you will see that this is one liner that you are going to definitely want to hand wash. The liner in this helmet is actually all one piece. To remove it, start with the neck curtain and pull slowly starting from one side and working across. Next you can unclip the cheek pads and finally pull out the front at the forehead. Gently feed the Microlock II adjustable retention straps thru the liner and pull the liner from the shell. Once the liner has been removed, you can remove the neck curtain and cheek pad foam from the rest of the liner for a really detailed cleaning… With the liner removed, you can see the multi-piece EPS liner and the removable EPS inserts at the ears. These come out so that you can hide the speaker wires of your communication system…

"The sandal was pretty decent and the leather nicely soft. But the height of the heel combined with the "loose" feel of the straps around my foot didn't feel like it gave my foot enough support."

"As always VIA SPIGA never dissappoints. This pair of sandals look and feel very nice. They do run slightly short but they are comfy and the heel doesn't feel like 4" more like 3.5". I wear size 7 in open sandal and that's what I ordered and although my heel shows a bit at the back, I'm still keeping it cause the width feels perfect, I have narrow feet and it might not be as snug (leather is really soft, doesn't dig) if I went for 7.5. Grab yours before it's sold out ladies :)"

Cups and cookbooks
Last weekend was all about cups and cookbooks at our house. Well, actually it was mostly about watching college basketball on television, but it wasn't supposed to be.
We had set a goal of cleaning out the garage of our house in Florence, Ala., as we get ready for the move to New Albany in June. But weather and will power intervened. Rainy weather and a cold, damp garage made it easy to get diverted.
It all started as we rationalized that we couldn't clean out the garage and haul stuff to the curb in the rain. So why not tackle an inside room?
We ended up in the kitchen, even though our New Albany kitchen has more cabinet space than the current one. Could it be because there's a TV for watching basketball in the kitchen?
Anyway, Jenny had heard somewhere that it's silly to have more than 10 coffee mugs. That seemed reasonable, especially because I don't drink coffee and she only makes coffee about once a week.
Our cupboard had more than 40 mugs. That's not counting the 40 cups that match our five sets of dishes (but that's another story).
The first mug Jenny put in the give-away box was from the University of Missouri, my alma mater. The second was from her alma mater, a ceramic stein honoring the University of Kentucky 1978 national championship basketball team. I put mine back.
There were several with newspaper logos from where I had worked through the years. I whined a bit, but let them go.
There were city mugs, Chamber of Commerce mugs, and mugs with corporate logos. Most went into the box; we saved a mug we brought back from Paris.
Jenny didn't want to part with a Star Wars mug where the characters disappear when you pour in hot liquid. Four Christmas mugs and four that belonged to our kids when they were growing up made the cut.
By the time we had agonized our way to the end, we still had 20 mugs, no more than three of which we ever use. Oh, well.
The cookbook project was a whole lot easier. We already had parted with more than 30 at a yard sale last fall. Another 20 went into the box this time, including the Willie Nelson cookbook and six with Mexican food recipes. We love Mexican food, but we don't make it at home.
We've still got 33 cookbooks. Most we never use, but some of them have connections to places we've visited. There's plenty of room for them on the kitchen bookshelf, so why worry about it?
Meanwhile, our garage remains a mess. When we moved to Florence nearly five years ago, we had the movers put lots of things in our garage until we could get them sorted and put away. Well, let's just say our two-car garage has been a no-car garage ever since.
We've vowed to actually put cars in our garage in New Albany. But based on the rate we're moving, it may take a long time.
March Madness gets under way this week. And we don't have a cable TV connection in the garage.
There's always April, I guess.

Science & Mathematics
The Museum's collections hold thousands of objects related to chemistry, biology, physics, astronomy, and other sciences. Instruments range from early American telescopes to lasers. Rare glassware and other artifacts from the laboratory of Joseph Priestley, the discoverer of oxygen, are among the scientific treasures here. A Gilbert chemistry set of about 1937 and other objects testify to the pleasures of amateur science. Artifacts also help illuminate the social and political history of biology and the roles of women and minorities in science.
The mathematics collection holds artifacts from slide rules and flash cards to code-breaking equipment. More than 1,000 models demonstrate some of the problems and principles of mathematics, and 80 abstract paintings by illustrator and cartoonist Crockett Johnson show his visual interpretations of mathematical theorems.

Soroban, or Japanese Abacus
- Description
- This instrument sits in a wooden box painted black around the edge. It has a wooden cross piece painted white. Twenty-one parallel bamboo rods rods pass through the cross piece. Each has one bead above the cross piece and five below.
- The beads are similar in shape to those on other Japanese abaci. Every column but the middle one is labeled on the cross piece with a Japanese character. The ten beads to the left of the center may represent units of volume, those to the right are units of currency.
- A stamp attached to the box below the beads that shows a Japanese diety known as Daikoku sama operating an abacus. Characters printed on the stamp refer to a trademark and to Osaka. A sticker attached to the back has characters on it that may represent a price in a vendor's code. The object is marked on the back in pen "4504." It is recorded as found in museum storage in 1959.

Soroban or Japanese Abacus
- Description
- This Japanese abacus or soroban has an open wooden frame painted black, with a black wooden cross bar. There are five metal rods parallel to the cross bar, one above it and four below. Each rod holds 23 white plastic beads. The beads, held in 23 separate columns by wooden pieces between them, are in roughly the shape a human torso, spherical on top and polygonal below. They do not slide along rods, as in a usual abacus, but flip toward or away from the cross bar.
- According to the donor, the abacus was built for the blind. It is stored in a white box with a turquoise cover. A picture of the abacus is attached to the cover. On the inside of the lid is a yellow paper label written in Japanese characters. It also reads in part: PAT. NO. 9452 (/) TAKEDA'S ABACUS (/) 9, IWAMOTO, KANDA, CHIYODA-KU, TOKYO (/) SALES OFFICES:HORIE CO:LTD. TEL (866)4918.
- In the early 1950s, Russell Kletzing, the donor of this instrument, was denied a place on the register of the U.S. Civil Service because he passed the exams with the help of sighted readers. The National Federation of the Blind challenged this decision in the case of Kletzing vs. Young. Although Kletzing lost the case, the Civil Service eventually reversed its position.
- In the course of his career, Russell Kletzing was chief counsel of the California State Water Resources Department and president of the Sacramento chapter of the National Federation of the Blind. For a brief time in the 1960s, he was president of the National Federation of the Blind.

: Hello: I live in Canada where we have a fair amount of snow and it is a little cool this time of year.
: I also have a ventilating fan in my bathroom. I've had about 10 inches of new blown insulation added to my attic, I've had my fan vented in the attic and going out through the soffits for a couple of years now.
: I should of did a follow up and checked the attic before now, but upon checking the attic I found that along the centre rafter from peek to soffet was quite a moister build up. It seem that i do not have enough air circulating in my attic!
: What should and can I do to improve this???
: I also checked the outside wall near the eves, where my fan is vented out the soffits, there is an ice built there. Now maybe some of my attic moister or maybe all is due to the ice built up and my fan being vented through the soffits.
: If so where can i better vent my fan??? Also when I was in the attic there was not much air movement, so therefore i think i require more air flow. What can and should I do to provide more air flow???
: Thankyou, please reply soonest, need to get this problem fix to minimize the damage.

The iconic Molly Ringwald shares intimate stories and candid advice in this fun, stylish, and sexy girlfriend's guide to life
To her millions of fans, Molly Ringwald will forever be sixteen. As the endearing and witty star of the beloved John Hughes classics Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and Pretty in Pink, Molly defined teenage angst, love, and heartbreak. While remembered eternally as the enviable high school princess Claire, or the shy, vulnerable Samantha, Molly has just celebrated her fortieth birthday. Facing a completely new, angst-inducing time in her life, she is embracing being a woman, wife, mother of three, actress, and best friend with her trademark style, candor, and humor.
In Getting the Pretty Back, Molly encourages every woman to become "the sexiest, funniest, smartest, best-dressed, and most confident woman that you can be." She shares personal anecdotes and entertaining insights about the struggle to get through the murky milestones and identity issues that crop up long after the prom ends. Whether she's discussing sex and beauty, personal style, travel and entertaining, motherhood, or friendship, Molly embodies the spirit of being fabulous at every age, and reminds us all that prettiness is a state of mind: it's "the part of you that knows what you really want, that takes risks."
Lavishly illustrated by Ruben Toledo, Getting the Pretty Back is sure to charm women of all ages with Molly's unforgettably personal, refreshingly outspoken take on life, love, and, of course, finding that perfect red lipstick. . . .
Praise For…
"A lighthearted guide for women…who want to be reminded of their youthful, carefree selves."

-San Francisco Chronicle
"[A] woman's dream bible: It is about finding inner beauty when you are no longer 16…. Ringwald truly wants women to feel admired and confident at any age, and her passion comes across as clearly (and quirkily) as it did in her teen movie years."

"I loved the style, fit, and look of these and would have given them 4 or 5 stars... unfortunately they already have a chip off the "wood" part of the front from the first time I wore them.. granted it was a long night but I'm a little disappointed in the quality"

too tight
"i love, love, love the seychelles brand. but this shoe was different from all others i have purchased. if you have a high instep beware. the straps at the front are way too tight. perfect for narrow slim feet."

Dwelling over these Chelles!!
"I originally purchased the shoe in a size 8.5 since I always tend to be in-between sizes and I knew from the moment I took them out of the box they were going to be keepers even if they didn't fit. The straps were a little bit loose so I ended up getting a size 8. Regardless of having to exchange for a different size, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM!Seychelles is a brand to invest some money in. The material the shoes are made out of is a much higher quality. I have some Seychelles from a few seasons back and they still look good as new. So although the price is higher than some wedges.. you get what you pay for! They are very comfortable and stretch slightly after a few wears because they are real leather.Enjoy! I know I do"

Ooh la la a great sandal
"Love this shoe since I love Syechelles for their flirty, quirky style. This sandal does not disappoint. I ordered up a half size since this brand does tend to run a bit small. My feet get a bit puffy in the summer months so this works sizing upp a little. The shoe is just a wee too tall but once you are six feet in heels, what's another inch? I am 5'8". They are super comfortable and will be easy to dress up or wear with jeans (I wnt with the natural). Good buy on a great shoe."

Fantastic destination!
Would recommend
Turks and Caicos is stunning. The colour of the water is a beautiful turquoise. It is a great destination for snorkeling or other boat activities. The sand was nice and soft which made it easy to walk or run on the beach. We got to try their signature dish, conch. Delicious. We found that it had similar texture to calamari. If you go, we'd recommend checking out the Conch farm.
Aqualicious Bliss
Would recommend
We have travelled to Turks and Caicos three times. We will be travelling on our fourth and fifth trip this year. The beaches are pristine whether on Grace Bay Beach, Leeward Beach, Long Bay Beach, or Taylor Bay. "Provo" is a place to relax, unwind, and leave your worries behind. Enjoy gazing endlessly at the multiple shades of aqua and blue waters, lay under an umbrella with a good book, or venture out with your snorkeling gear to sea the beautiful sea life of The Bight and Smith's Reef. For the adventurous type, hop on the TCI Ferry to North Caicos, rent a car and drive the coast, then the causeway to Middle Caicos where you will see the breathtaking scenery of Mudjin Harbour and Dragon Cay. Make a stop at Flamingo Pond to see hundreds of wild Flamingos basking in the sun. At the end of your day, enjoy multiple options for dining whether on a budget or for a special occasion. Turks and Caicos is no doubt "Beautiful by Nature".
The best trip yet!
Would recommend
My solo trip to T & C was just what the doctor ordered. I attended a close friend's wedding but stayed in a different location so I could feel the freedom of being alone. The Gansevoort resort was utopia! The soft sand of the beaches, the slow pace of life, the incredible blue ocean that looked like a postcard photo, and more, all made for a fabulous time. I wish I could take this trip every year. I would highly recommend Turks and Caicos to anyone wanting to experience a bit of Heaven on earth.
Grace Bay Beach....wow
Would recommend
Best Carib location by far.
Worst Vacation Ever
Not recommend
Worst vacation ever. If all you want to do is lay on the beach and/or snorkel, then you'll love it. Otherwise, do yourself a favour and stay as far away from this place as possible. No public transportation. Cabs are self-regulated and incredibly expensive. One guy charged me $40USD for a 15 minute trip! Driving is very dangerous. There is nothing outside the Grace Bay Beach area. Nothing.
Relaxation at its finest
Would recommend
If you like calm, crystal clear waters, a relaxing and safe atmosphere then this is your place. The beach with it's stunning white sand and swimming pool clear water makes it an ideal beach lovers paradise. There are no large mega resort type properties here and it ensures lots of beach space for you to relax and enjoy. There are many restaurants to choose from offering world class menu options that range from fine dining to casual and includes a nice mix of local food as well. Turks does not have much to offer in terms of extreme adventure or nightlife which is why it's a great destination for those who want to lie out on the beach all day and finish off their night at a great restaurant. If you do feel like doing something during the day, there are some excursions offered that include snorkelling, scuba diving, visits to the other islands 9 including iguana island) or feel fre to rent a car at one of many car rental companies and explore the island on your own to either othr beaches or other restaurants not situated around your hotel.
Would recommend
Turks and Caicos was heaven on earth. We stayed at Aquamarine Beach Homes and that was amazing. The beach is miles long, the water crystal clear, the people, the food, the weather was totally unbelievable. Would we go back? In a heartbeat.
Turks and Caicos
Would recommend
Absolutely the best beaches and the beautiful clear waters perfect for swimming or snorkeling
A must visit!
Would recommend
What's not to love, white sugar beaches that you could walk out for hundreds of feet all owned by the island and not resorts; sunsets, warm water for snorkelling, amazing restaurants owned by canadians!! friendly people from all around the world; 20 minutes from one side of the island to the other. We had an amazing trip!
First time visisting
Would recommend
First time visiting Turks & Caicos, had a fantastic time, food was excellent every where we went toured the entire island by car amazing. Went parasailing for the first time and it was amazing as you could see the entire island. The water was unbeliveable, the people so friendly. We stayed at Turtle Cove Inn which was a great experience
Awesome Family Vacation
Would recommend
While on decent into PLS, the first thing you notice is the most beautiful turquoise water over Chalk Sound. Renting a condo townhouse this time, we decided to rough it by cooking our own meals. Catarmaran boat trip with Sail Provo was incredible. Got to visit Iguana Island and then onto the 3rd largest reef in the world to snorkel for an hour. Then onto Half Moon Cay for one of the nicest beaches to swim with sting rays. On the way back, the kids got to navigate the boat until it was time to dock. Culture and shopping was good with some very nice duty free stores. This was our second trip to PLS and will not be our last.
Paradise in Turks & Caicos
Would recommend
We went to Turks & Caicos in December 2010 and stayed at Club Med. The water was pure turquoise, and the sand was pure white. If you're a beach lover like me, this Island is for you.. with miles of undiscovered and luxurious white sand beaches surrounded by brilliant turquoise waters will satisfy your desires! No big crowds & vendors to hassle you. So serene and unreal..pictures don't do justice of how beautiful the beach is! The weather was perfect when we went. Not a drop of rain, it was bright and sunny with a temperature around 25 degrees celsius the whole time! We went on several excursions, including to an island called "Shell Island" with thousands of gorgeous seashells which gave us a lot of souvenirs to bring home! You can swim, lie in the sun or just have fun as this Island is in the middle of nowhere. We went snorkelling, and walked around the the beautiful, friendly and safe Provenciales. Club Med itself was so much fun. The drinks were delicious, and the food was amazing. The staff was so friendly and helpful, and the shows at night were fun and entertaining including a fantastic acrobatics show that was performed by the staff! You'd never guess they weren't professionals. We were very sad to leave, but hope we win this contest so we could return one day!

Turks and Caicos was the trip of a lifetime - I was looking at last minute deals to go back the day I got home. As a single female traveller, finding a fun, safe, place to go is a priority, and Turks and Caicos was it! Amazing beaches that went on for miles and miles, not crowded at all, beautiful turquoise ocean, sand like icing sugar, friendly people. Overall just a fabulous location - can't wait to go back soon!
Our daughter's wedding cruise

Our daughter got married on a Princess ship, and our favorite port was Turks and Caicos. An incredible white sandy beach with umbrellas, relaxation and beautiful views. Perfect for romance and drawing in the sand.
Best Beaches I've ever seen!!
Would recommend
When I walked onto the beach I literally needed someone to pinch me...I know it's cheesy but it was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen...like a postcard come to life! Great destination to chill on the beach with a cocktail and a book. The water is prestine! The best place to swim if you are scared of the ocean...like my boyfriend lol! Stayed at the Beaches. With 16 unbelievable restaurants. By far the nicest resort ever! Not a lot to do culture wise (like someplace like Cuba) but by far the most beautiful paradise on the planet!!
Our Family vacation
Would recommend
We took a family vacation and thought it would be neat to try some where different! Turks and Caicos is truly a hidden paradise and people are starting to discover this beautiful island. We stayed at Beaches and this resort is stunning. So much effort by staff and management goes into their service. They cared, listend and it shows! Our kids had a experience like non before. I hope one day we return to continue where we left off. " Great memories "
Deeply Relaxing - Whether you want to or not!

My mother and I went to T & C earlier this year for a much needed break from the seemingly endless winter. The advertised turquoise water and white sand beaches sounded heavenly, and Turks didn't disappoint. Even from the air, I could see that the water here was much different than anything I've seen in the Caribbean thus far. We stayed at Club Med Turkoise, which is the only other all-inclusive resort on the island besides Beaches. What I noticed from the moment we landed until we left is that the island is generally quiet and laid back. With a population of around 5000 people, you never really experience rush hour or having to make your way through throngs of people. We visited beaches on Middle Caicos and North as well, and all of them were SPECTACULAR! Powder white sand, gorgeous clear water. The only disappointment about the water is that it's a bit chilly for the Caribbean, but still pleasant on a hot afternoon. Because of the lower population and the small size of the islands, there isn't much in the way of excursions or attractions off-resort, but we did rent a jeep and venture on our own, which I'd encourage everyone to do if they get the chance. The snorkeling is also fantastic for the enthusiasts All in all, it was a really good time and very relaxing, but unless you're staying at Beaches, I wouldn't recommend it for people with younger children as there is a lack of activities and attractions to keep them busy if they're not big on water sports.

It is a Must go, I really want to go there, so badly.... Thank to a friend of mine who went there anbd loved it. They suggestes me and my friend to go there! ;)
A relaxing getaway
Would recommend
The Turks and Caicos is truly a relaxing getaway. If all you want to do is lay on the beach, visit the Turks. We stayed along Grace Bay and enjoyed the white sand beach and crystal blue water without the hustle and bustle that comes with majority of the heavily populated tourist spots.
Perfect Anniversary Trip
Would recommend
Took my husband to the Turks and Caicos islands for his first time on our first year wedding anniversary. Coming from the West Coast, it makes such a huge difference to fly on Westjet instead of going through the states, we arrived fresh and ready to go! There are so many amazing hotels and dining options on the island, so we stayed at two hotels with the Gansevoort being our favorite on Provo. Loved the pool and beach staff who were always there to grab you a beverage or get you a lounger while we went for breakfast. We're already trying to make plans to go back just to get some sun!!

Olympic movement at the heart of the environmental debate
Remarks by Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary General and Executive Director UN Environment Programme (UNEP)
Doha-9th World Conference on Sport and the Environment
His Highness, the Emir Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani, the Head of the State of Qatar;
Dr Jacques Rogge, President of the International Olympic Committee;
His Highness Sheikh Tamin Bin Hamad Al-Thani, Heir Apparent and President of the National Olympic Committee of Qatar;
Pal Schmitt, President of Hungary, IOC Sport and the Environment Commission;
His Excellency Sheikh Saoud Bin Abdulraham Al-Thani, Secretary General of the National Olympic Committee of Qatar and President of the Gulf Cooperation Council;
Abdallah Bin Aboud Al-Mahdadi, Minister of the Environment of Qatar;
Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah, President of the Olympic Council of Asia
and Winfried Lemke, the UN Secretary-General's Special Adviser on Sport for Development and Peace,
Ladies and gentlemen,
I am delighted to be here in Doha for this, the 9th World Conference on Sport and the Environment.
I have just come from Brazil where the country is in many ways preoccupied with three major events.
The UN Conference on Sustainable Development 2012 or Rio+20; the FIFA World Cup in 2014 and the Olympics in 2016.
Three major events; three enormous opportunities to catalyze innovation and sustainable development; three occasions that dovetail, resonate and echo to our agenda and meeting here in Qatar.
It was the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio, Brazil that gave birth to the direction and dynamism of contemporary sustainable development.
Rio 1992 saw the establishment of several of the major global treaties that have been fundamental to much of UNEP's work and underpinned the sport and environment movement as well.
The UN climate change convention; the convention of biodiversity and the convention on desertification.
It was also a moment in time that inspired the amendment of the Olympic Charter to include the environment as the third pillar of Olympism.
In short it was the trigger, the tape that we all broke through towards the prize of bringing mass sporting and spectator events into the quest for sustainable development.
When you look back over the intervening years since the Earth Summit, we see a mixed score card in terms of the ability of nation states to meet the needs and aspirations of a world with now seven billion
Extraordinary achievements have been made the Earth's protective shield, the ozone layer, is on the road to recovery as a result of the phasing out of the chemicals linked with the damage.
We have emissions trading and smart mechanisms to reduce greenhouse gas emissions under the Kyoto Protocol of the climate treaty and the intensity with which we use energy has declined.
And we have cemented the role of the environment in the Olympics as a vehicle for innovation and as a legacy for host cities from Sydney to Torino and in 2008 Beijing.
Other major sporting events have also come on board, including the FIFA World Cup as a result of Germany's determination in 2006 to realize a Green Goal which turn became an important theme in South Africa in 2010.
Other areas of the sporting world have also begun embracing these aspirations including sporting goods makers alongside other sporting events such as power boats racing.
Yet despite all these gains, science demonstrates that they are in many ways being overwhelmed by the scale and magnitude of environmental change.
Humanity's consumption of natural resources, allied to the inefficiencies in the way we produce goods and services, are pushing our footprint into the red and driving the Earth's life support systems towards potentially irreversible tipping points.
We are as a species, and as communities and economies, still on a fundamentally unsustainable path.
This is the reality and the awareness that is underpinning next June's Rio+20 summit.
But there is another reality, which if only we can accelerate and scale-up, offers a fundamentally different development path.
UNEP has articulated this under the theme of the Green Economy, which along with sustainable development and poverty eradication, is one of the two key themes of Rio+20 next year.
The premise and analysis this work is illuminating is that there are countless examples across the globe of where a transition to a low carbon, resource efficient economy is underway.
And with the right public policies, an investment equivalent of two per cent of global GDP could grow the global economy, generate jobs, address social inequalities but in a way that does not push humanity's footprint beyond planetary boundaries.
Crucial to achieving this will be the ambition of governments.
But also vital will be public support and awareness of not only the need for change but the enthusiasm to pressure leaders and companies to support transformational action alongside personal actions.
Sport has the power to enlist global public supporta point that has not been lost on the Brazilian hosts of Rio+20 who have recognized the virtue in linking this UN conference with the two major sporting events they are also hosting.
I am delighted to announce that following my visit last week, UNEP will be signing a Memorandum of Cooperation with the relevant Brazilian authorities in order to provide assistance and support to both the FIFA World Cup 2014 and the Olympics in Brazil in 2016.
We are now studying how to strengthen our presence and our office capacity in Brazil in order to support the country in the run up to next year's Rio+20 meeting which in turn can also assist in the preparations for these two major sporting events.
Your Excellency; distinguished delegates, ladies and gentlemen,
If Rio+20 is to achieve a transformational outcome in terms of setting the course that will fulfill the promises of the Earth Summit two decades before, then it cannot be just a government affair.
Civil society, academia and the private sector need to contribute their experience, wisdom and solutions towards achieving truly sustainable development.
I would urge all delegates here to reflect and to consider what they can contribute to ensuring 2012 is a successit is in all our interests.
UNEP's Green Economy report addresses the pathways towards an evolutionary development path at the meta level.
Several countries are now actively engaged in how a global analysis can be transformed into national actions towards a low carbon, resource efficient future.
Environment in sport may also like to reflect in this direction too.
Together we have achieved a great deal in bringing sustainability to big, global sporting eventsand the signals from Brazil is that the torch will be passed on to Rio and the FIFA host cities there.
But the time may now be ripe to consider how we take our collective expertise, experience and enthusiasm down to the national level too and in a way that make sport a catalyst for change and the realization of a Green Economy not only every four years, but every year, month and day.
How do we enlist national Olympic associations, covering the full suite of sporting activities, into our sustainability movement in support of Rio+20 and beyond.
Football leagues and cup competitions are taking place every week in every country of the world.
Can a world conference like this find pathways to bring what sport and environment is achieving on the global stage, into the ethos of local football clubs and competitions and the companies that are involved.
And this is just Olympic-linked sport and football: what about the other sporting activities and pastimes that millions upon millions are engaged inwhere do we find the points of engagement at the national and local level in contribution of the wider sustainability goals?
The impact could be profoundthe multi-billion procurement policies of the Olympics for example have the potential to shift markets in areas ranging from the construction sector to those involved in catering and sporting goods.
Harnessing the procurement potential of the sports industry globally and daily could catalyze even more far reaching change.
Young people are perhaps more aware today of the threats but perhaps also the opportunities facing the worldcan we do more to empower sporting heroes to embrace the environmental dimension of sport that together we have fostered in the mega sporting arenas.
How can the way sports influences consumer choices and the psychology of consumerism, be enlisted in the race for sustainable lifestyles?
How can we influence owners of stadia nationally to mirror the achievements in terms of waste management to renewable energy of those organizing the big tournaments and games?
I think the story of incorporating sustainability into sports has been one of the inspirational evolutions of the past two decades.
We have not stood still.
For example for the FIFA World Cup 2010, visitors had the chance to reflect on sustainable tourism through the Green Passport campaign.
Close to a dozen participating national teams offset their carbon footprint via projects ranging from solar cooking to wind energy projects.
The experience UNEP has gained by working with sporting partners assisted in the greening of the Shanghai Expo also in 2010.
So that evolution and spreading of the knowledge and ideas incubated through sport and the environment on the global stage, is happening in more and more dimensions and settings.
In support for Rio+20 and beyond perhaps the moment has come to see how we evolve and accelerate that engagement faster and further in support of sustainable development for the coming 20 years.
Thank you

The Beach Boys has reformed with all of its surviving members, burying personal and professional animosity to record a new album and tour the world.
Up to this point, there really hasn't been a notable 50-year anniversary for a major rock 'n' roll band. But with some of the genre's most important acts fast approaching that mid-century mark (the Beatles (post-Ringo), the Rolling Stones, the Kinks, Pink Floyd), the next few years will undoubtedly see a morass of reissues, reunions, retrospectives and historical exhumations. But the Beach Boys are first in line, and the group has reformed with all of its surviving members, burying personal and professional animosity to record a new album and tour the world.With last year's lavish release of the aborted 1967 masterpiece "Smile," the band members finally showed a willingness to embrace the era that represented both an artistic peak and the breaking point for its principal creative force — Brian Wilson. It is Wilson's presence on this tour and especially his role as principal songwriter-producer for the Beach Boys' forthcoming album, "That's Why God Made the Radio," that makes this reunion so historically significant. The group hasn't worked this closely with Wilson since the late '60s. Saturday's sold out concert at the Bowl was a thorough, rapidly paced exploration of the band's broad catalog. The five original Beach Boys were positioned at center stage with Wilson seated behind a white grand piano. Mike Love, standing in the middle, embraced his longtime role as the charismatic if hopelessly cheesy frontman, singing lead on a slew of fast-paced rockers ("Little Honda," "Hawaii") and endlessly plugging the group's forthcoming studio album. Love's voice, like that of all of the Beach Boys vocalists, no longer easily operates in the upper register, but his shrill, teenage warble still seems to represent and capture the authentic Beach Boys sound. Wilson soon took over lead vocal duties, singing a selection of ballads that included "Little Surfer Girl," "Marcella" and "This Whole World." Though typically awkward onstage, Wilson was, for the most part, present and engaged in the performance. He often made conducting motions to drummer John Cowsill, accenting key rhythmic cues and entrances with great enthusiasm. After some playful banter, Bruce Johnston delivered a tender rendition of "Disney Girls," and Al Jardine, in the group's strangest juxtaposition, covered Leadbelly's "Cotton Fields." The auxiliary musicians were absolutely crucial to the band's live sound, none more so than Jeff Foskett, who held down the majority of the high falsetto harmony parts and added much needed power and clarity to the vocal arrangements. After a breezy run through the stellar, doo wop-leaning new song "Isn't It Time" and a couple of classic singles ("Don't Worry Baby," "Little Deuce Coupe"), the band left the stage for a brief intermission. The second portion of the set was oriented mainly in the group's artistic golden age, plucking choice cuts from "Pet Sounds," "Smile" and "Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!)." Early in this second portion, the band members were joined by a number of their children, performing under the name California Saga. It was a bizarre move that only the Beach Boys could have orchestrated — a strange detour placed directly in between a series of unquestionably brilliant musical moments. Toward the end of the set, the band executed a pair of emotional tributes to deceased band members Carl and Dennis Wilson. "Forever" and "God Only Knows" were delivered with the group "backing up" previously recorded vocal takes from the departed Wilson brothers. A furious, up-tempo finale including "Good Vibrations," "Help Me Rhonda" and "Surfin' USA" capped the main set and the band returned for a brief encore, ending with a jubilant rendition of "Fun Fun Fun."

Coming up this weekend in Kingston – Canada vs Puerto Rico in World League qualifying round
OTTAWA – With a berth in the sport's richest tournament on the line, North American rivals Canada and Puerto Rico will battle in a two match series this Saturday and Sunday (August 20-21) at the World League qualifying final set for the K-Rock Centre in Kingston, Ont.
Both matches start at 7 p.m.
Canada heads into the series fresh from winning the Parnu International Cup in Estonia. The Canadians, ranked 22nd in the world, went undefeated in the tournament which also marked the return of star power hitter Alexandre Gaumont-Casias of Marieville, Que. In addition Dustin Schneider of Brandon, Man., was named the tournament MVP.
That victory capped what has been a solid season so far for the Canadians. Before leaving for Europe, they defeated Slovakia in the first round of World League qualifying at Scotiabank Place in Ottawa. They also won the bronze medal at the Pan Am Cup in June, a tournament at which they beat the Puerto Ricans twice. Gavin Schmitt of Saskatoon won two individual awards for his performances at that 10-country tournament.
The last time Canada competed in the World League was in 2007 when it placed 13th. The FIVB World League, now in its 22nd year, is a 16-country intercontinental tournament that runs for over a 6 week period every summer and offers the biggest cash prizes in the sport.
''Playing in the World League would allow us to have lots of international matches next summer,'' said Canadian veteran Louis-Pierre Mainville.
The winner of this weekend's series will be based on a formula of the winning team earning three points for a 3-0 or 3-1 win in sets and two points for a 3-2 win. The loser in the first instance would receive 0 points and one point for a 3-2 loss. The first tie-break is sets won and lost, the second tie break is points for and against.
"The K-Rock Centre is a perfect venue for volleyball matches,'' said Canada's Josh Howatson.
Tourism Kingston's Director of Tourism Marketing and Development - Rob Carnegie said: "we are very excited to host world class athletes in our town" "We hope this event will attract young volleyball players and motivate them"

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
STARKVILLE – Tyler Russell hasn't really gotten to experience the Egg Bowl, but he's getting the full treatment this week.
No. 25 Mississippi State's quarterback has been receiving some unsolicited text messages from Ole Miss fans in advance of Saturday's Egg Bowl (6 p.m., ESPNU). Does that bother him?
"That just makes it more fun having the fans get into it, on both sides of the teams," Russell said Monday. "It's a heated rivalry, everybody gets into it and all the records go out the window for these games."
Russell said he hasn't responded to the messages and is "working on" getting his number changed.
"It just kind of motivates me," he said. "It doesn't get to me or anything. I don't see the point in doing that.
"If they weren't texting me then I would feel bad, but they are. I must being doing something well."
This will be the first Egg Bowl start for Russell, a fourth-year junior. He didn't play in the game as a redshirt freshman and barely played in last season's 31-3 win.
strong season
He's been doing quite well this season. Russell has passed for 2,523 yards and 21 touchdowns, both single-season MSU records. He's been intercepted only four times in 333 pass attempts and is ranked seventh in the SEC and 36th in the country in pass efficiency.
Russell passed for 274 yards and four touchdowns against Arkansas last week to earn SEC offensive player of the week honors.
Ole Miss (5-6, 3-2) is 86th in the nation in pass efficiency defense.
"It will be the first time I actually get to play these guys for real, so it's going to be fun," Russell said. "They are going to come after us, but we are going to work really hard this week in practice. Do a lot of watching film."
Ole Miss players have been getting messages from MSU fans, too, so it works both ways.
The talk will carry over to the field between the players. MSU linebacker Cam Lawrence will make a point of it, going so far as to gather some "background information" on Ole Miss players.
"I try to get in an opponent's head," Lawrence said. "I try to attack them mentally, physically. I try to get at them from every angle I can."

In a long-awaited, taxpayer-favorable development, IRS Large Business and International (LB&I) Commissioner Heather Maloy on December 7 issued a memorandum to all LB&I employees regarding examination of section 41 research credit claims in the pharmaceutical sector.
The memo directs LB&I employees not to challenge the amount of qualified research expenditures (QREs) claimed by taxpayers in the pharmaceutical sector that arise during Stage 1 (discovery and preclinical stage) or Stage 2 (clinical trial stage) of the four-stage pharmaceutical development process, as long as the taxpayer provides a Certification Statement – described in the memo – regarding those QREs. The research undertaken in Stage 1 and Stage 2 often is referred to as "core R&D".
While the memorandum applies only to examinations of taxpayers in the pharmaceutical sector, the IRS is expected to use it as a model for examinations of core R&D in other industry sectors.
