Two Dachshunds looking for a home together
The Wisconsin Humane Society (WHS) Racine Campus is asking for the public's help in finding a great home for two very tightly bonded dogs. Molly and Ruby are adorable Dachshund buddies who were surrendered to the WHS Racine Campus because their family no longer had time for them.
Ruby, a 5-year-old Dachshund, is a bit on the chubby side and needs to drop a few pounds. Hey, who doesn't? Molly, who is 4 years old, is an adorable Dachshund/Chihuahua mix who adores her BFF. Molly is a bit shy with strangers, but when her sidekick Ruby is nearby, she's much more confident and comfortable.
Both girls had their teeth cleaned and some teeth pulled while they have been in the care of the Wisconsin Humane Society. They are incredibly bonded, so the shelter staff is committed to finding a home for the pair.
Molly and Ruby are currently available at the WHS Racine Campus. Their adoption fee is $249; both dogs have been spayed, microchipped, and been given initial vaccinations. They also go home with a certificate for a free veterinary exam and 30 days of pet health insurance. For details, call 262-554-6699 or visit www.wihumane.org.

Skip to comments.Paulas big fat secret TV chef famous for Southern-fried decadence to reveal she has diabetes
Posted on 01/13/2012 11:40:31 AM PST by trumandogz
Paula Deen the queen of high-calorie, Southern cooking is about to come clean and confess that she cant eat her own dishes anymore because she has diabetes.
The Georgia-born chef a Food Network star who has written five best-selling cookbooks has been trying to keep her condition a secret, even after the National Enquirer reported in April that she has Type 2 diabetes, which is often associated with fatty foods and obesity.
Sources say Deen, 64, who never addressed the diabetes question, has worked out a multimillion-dollar deal to be the spokeswoman for a pharmaceutical company and endorse the drug she is taking.
(Excerpt) Read more at thedaily.com ...
Most of the diabetics I know are genetically disposed...in fact all of them are.
Rachel Ray must be eating Paula's cooking. It's the only way to explain Ray's weight because her recipes are lousy.
So she's now promoting a drug that is used to cure a condition that is caused by the type of foods she has been teaching people how to prepare?
I'd have more respect for her if she revamped her show to teach people how to cook meals that don't lead to diabetes.
I think her food may be delicious, but just about every recipe is unhealthy.
My wife and I were hosted by a true, southern-fried couple for dinner a couple of months ago - my arteries are still recovering from that meal...
Her son has a new Food Channel Show fearturing her recipes without all the fats and sugars.
The stuff looked good.
What a hateful headline and lead!
"So shes now promoting a drug that is used to cure a condition that is caused by the type of foods she has been teaching people how to prepare?"
Looks like Paula will be working both sides or the fence, much like a drug dealer that would sell both heroin and methadone or a pharmacy that only sold cigarettes and cancer medication.
The National Enquirer?
They're right about this
AND they were right about "Bath-House Barry".
So What??? over 60% of Americans have some sort of diabetes. It is not only Paula's cooking but all of the fast food places that provide high fat food. You know what the American People love it.
My husband is 145 lbs and has Type 2 diabetes and has always eaten very healthily. Sometimes it isn't about the food or the weight. And sometimes the diabetes causes weight gain as well since the body can't process sugar/starch.
A little bit of that goes a long way and I think she consciously exaggerates the drawl, too...y'all!!!!
Like there's something wrong with that.
I don't indulge in KFC type meals everyday...and don't know anyone else who does either. Paula's a good cook and a good girl. Don't make her one of Moochele's victims.
I was just stating a fact. The poster said Paula needed to have a show featuring healthier food.
Her son has such a show.
As far as I am concerned, people can eat what they want. I am not the food police.
If more Americans embraced Paula Deen's cooking, this country would save billions in social security and pension payments.
I did not write the article.
But, we will see if it is true if Paula Deen starts peddling diabetes medication.
What was even more interesting was that the blacks that I met spoke proper English and were very kind.
Looks and taste are sometimes two totally different things.
There are many slim folks that have eaten a decadant Southern diet all of their lives. The difference is that they have an active lifestyle.
Fat people come from the same ol' equation: calories eaten vs. calories burned. Any doctor will tell you than 95% of people fall into that category vs. a medical condition that causes weight gain.
Its the only way to explain Rays weight because her recipes are lousy.
But she's someone's darling because she is everwhere on the food channel - mixing it up with top chefs.
That Anthony Bourdain sure knows how to get people talking. The No Reservations host sounds off on other food stars in TV Guide Magazine.
He has the strongest words for Paula Deen. The worst, most dangerous person to America is clearly Paula Deen, Bourdain says. She revels in unholy connections with evil corporations and shes proud of the fact that her food is f bad for you [...] plus, her food sucks.
The First Wookie must be wearing a Cheshire cat grin today.
I just saw this segment on FOX this week. I have no idea if it tasted good.
My husband can eat whatever he wants and he doesn't get fat. He eats smaller portions than most men. Always has.
His family is all slim, so I am sure genetics play into that.
Truth is, I hold fairly libertarian ideas when it comes to diet and weight, including personal responsibility. I know there are medical conditions that cause weight gain, but too many times it's a failure of the calories consumed/calories burned equation.
Diabetes II is genetic.
Read "Wheat Belly".
The rise in diabetes isn't due to people eating fat. It's due to the increased consumption of carbohydrates (wheat, potatoes, table sugar, high fructose corn syrup, etc...), because eating carbs causes your body to produce insulin. Fat doesn't.
That healthy, low fat meal that is built around pasta or bread is a prescription for diabetes.
Ironically, the common wisdom that people should eat "healthy, low fat meals" has directly lead to the increase in the consumption of carbohydrates, which is the primary cause of the increase in diabetes.
"I lived in Virgina for a year. I remember asking my boss, a Professional Civil Engineer....You really learned to say y'all in school? I was flabberghasted that these educated people spoke "backwoods speech". And these southerners were quite rude to New Yorkers.
What was even more interesting was that the blacks that I met spoke proper English and were very kind."
As a born-and-bred Virginian, I'm sorry that you found white Virginians so disappointing. I don't know where your "Professional Civil Engineer" went to school, but I have never heard of anyone being taught to say "y'all"in a classroom. For your own information and education, the word is a contraction of "you" and "all". It is no more "backwoods speech" than "they're" or "can't."
Whenever I've seen northerners subjected to "rudeness" from my fellow Virginians, it's been a response to condescending, snobbish attitudes like yours. We welcome everybody, but we don't appreciate being thought of as toothless hillbillies, and we wonder why on earth folks like you come down here if it's so painful for you.
Lard, meat and shellfish instead of processed wheat and sugar might help her diabetes condition.
So, what's the name of Paulas big fat secret TV chef?
It's genetic in the sense that some people are probably more prone to developing insulin resistance than others. Most of the time, if they start soon enough, Type II can be controlled with diet and exercise.
My wife is a Type I, juvenile onset; my mother was a Type II. If I quit exercising, ate whatever crap I felt like, and let my muscle mass waste away, I would be diagnosed as a Type II Diabetic within five years, almost guaranteed.
So, to settle the issue once and for all, one of the largest, longest and most expensive randomized, controlled, primary dietary intervention clinical trial in the history of our country was launched in 1993. This was to be THE study to end all studies and proponents believed it would finally prove the benefits of not just low-fat diets, but what has come to epitomize the government's very definition of healthy eating. According to the National Institutes of Health, it was "one of the largest studies of its kind ever undertaken in the United States and is considered a model for future studies of womens health. It was a major undertaking, costing $415 million and was conducted at 40 medical centers across the country. It was a well-designed and carefully conducted study and researchers were confident this would prove the rightness of eating right.
The women in the healthy eating intervention group cut their total fat intakes down to 24% of their calories and 8% saturated fat the first year well below the control group eating about 38% total fat and nearly 40% more saturated fats. By the end of the study, the healthy eaters were still averaging 29% fat, compared to 37% in the control group. The healthy dieters also ate about 25% more fruits and vegetables, grains and fiber than the typical American diet of the control group.
Most of the study results were published at the beginning of last year, in a series of articles in the Journal of the American Medical Association. If healthy eating showed health benefits, the results would have been shouted far and wide. Since they werent, youre probably beginning to guess that it failed to support long-held beliefs about healthy eating. And you would be right.
More than 8 years later, there was no difference in the incidences of breast cancer, colon cancer, heart attacks or strokes among those who ate healthy and those who ate whatever they pleased!
That plus she is a big Obamabot.
But, I made her bread pudding recipe once. Better than wonderful.
Hey, now; if they told you that it wouldn't be a secret, would it?
Yeah, that headline is in dire need of some punctuation.
Paula Deen has diabetes because she's obese. If she lost 45 or 50 pounds it would probably go away. My brother in law's doctors told him the same thing but he just can't force himself to diet. So he takes insulin.
If I could cook like her I'd have diabetes too. Kinda like coal miners that get black lung. Comes with the profession.
I'm curious, can you pronounce the word saw? I have noticed that a lot of people from up North can't pronounce that word, is that a backwoods Hillbilly thing?
Good Lord, the advice your brother's doctor gave him is 40 years out of date.
Body fat doesn't cause diabetes, body fat is a SYMPTOM of diabetes.
Gary Taubes in his book "Why We Get Fat" explains the process in a way just about anyone can understand.
1) Your body starts to maintain too much insulin in the blood (there are a number of reasons for this, including diet, but this is where it starts). Because there is too much insulin in your blood your body starts storing food as fat instead of burning it (one of insulin's jobs is to push fat into the fat cells). You also quit burning body fat (one of insulin's other jobs is to prevent you from burning body fat—there's a good reason for this, but the point to remember from this is that when there is excess insulin in the blood your body is incapable of releasing fat from the fat cells into the bloodstream to be burned).
2) Because of the excess insulin in the blood, your cells increase their resistance to insulin.
3) Because your cells start to become insulin resistant, your pancreas starts to produce MORE insulin in attempt to over come the cell's insulin resistance. The excess insulin in your blood causes you to store more food as fat instead of burning it, and prevents you from burning the fat already stored in your fat cells (you get fatter).
4) Steps 2 & 3 repeat over and over again in a race between the cells (which become more and more insulin resistant) and your pancreas (which pumps ever increasing levels of insulin in your blood in an attempt to overcomes the cells resistance).
5) Eventually, the pancreas becomes so overworked that it fails, and starts to lose the ability to produce insulin.
I recommend you get Taubes book (while not a book specifically about diabetes, it explains the process that causes it, and the root causes of why the excess insulin is produced in the first place), then I recommend you find a doctor that has read a medical book published after the '70s.
The ignorance is shocking.
Carbs are the killers. You need insulin for the cells to burn glucose.
Fats and proteins do not require insulin for the body to use them as fuel.
My Type 1 diabetic sun can eat cubes of butter all day long and not bolus a single unit of insulin to deal with it. Two double-stuff oreo cookies, however, require 1.5 units (21 grams of carbs).
Deen is suffering from insulin resistance, which is the body's rejection of the insulin it produces.
Weight loss CAN cure Type 2 in many cases, but not in all cases. Met a rock hard 45 year old women, 118 lbs, and has Type 2.
The state of research on diabetes is pathetic. I was at a seminar on Type 1 in Seattle and asked whether anyone had actually confirmed that the Islet of Langerhorn cells in the pancreas had actual died.
The answer was, across almost 70 years of research on the topic - "No."
Hasn't stopped hospitals from explaining to patients that their Islet cells have died, causing a 'sundowning' of insulin production from the pancreas.
A couple of Canadian researches, on a whim, wondered whether those Islet cells, rather than be dead, were instead inflamed to the point where the cells couldn't excrete the insulin.
They gave rats bred with type 1 diabetes a shot of capscacin (basically, the 'hot' in 'hot sauce' and hot peppers) and sure enough it cured the rats to the point where they were producing insulin.
The shot had to be readminitsterd once a month, but the point was that a $2.65 shot of capscascin could 'cure' a type 1 diabetic.
The state of modern science is not in a good place of late.
>The state of modern science is not in a good place of late.<
Particularly when the welfare of Big Carbohydrate (think the wheat and corn producers) and Big Pharma hang in the balance.
I hear Hostess, the manufacturer of Twinkies, is filing for bankruptcy. Perhaps people are finally realizing sugar is not a health food.
I wonder how long it will be before we see Anthony Bourdain doing a similar deal with a company that makes drugs for treating Tourette's Syndrome.
His pointless cursing makes his show unwatchable.
As a native Virginian I can tell you the New Yorkers had it coming. Especially youse guys who showed up and made snide remarks about "backwoods" southerners saying "y'all".
You apparently met a different category of blacks than the ones I knew when growing up. I think most linguists would tell you that southern speech patterns cross race lines as do food preferences.
Thank you. It's not the fat and protein. It's the sugar and carbs. I think this country has so terrorized people over heart disease that we're all living off sugar and carbs and we'll all get diabetes instead.
could never watch her on tv. she was an instance "click" like geraldo.
her magazine covers always looked creepy. like a psychotic souther lawn knome.
I hate to tell you but a lot of people who lose weight lose the diabetes symptoms. This is not new.

Home > National Historic Sites > Fort George National Historic Site > Learning Experiences > The Onset of War - The 1812 Campaign.
Throughout 1811 political tension mounted in Washington. The maritime states complained of British abuses at sea. The British Royal Navy (dominant since the battle of Trafalgar) controlled maritime commerce and the British Parliament passed several acts to restrict American access to Europe (France particularly). England demanded that vessels passing through the English Channel had to carry exclusive documents if shipping to their ports, and the boarding and confiscation of vessels and impressment of sailors (whose nationality American/British was in question) were commonplace activities of the British Navy.
In the south-western states, politicians (Warhawks) were concerned with their ability to expand westward (because of conflicts with the Western Tribes on the frontiers of Ohio, Tennessee and Kentucky). For the Western Tribes, American expansion west meant the destruction of their lands and people. The ultimately successful American armies that had been sent into Indian Territory' in Ohio (1790's) had made that point clear. The Republican Warhawks' controlled by President Madison wanted to raise armies to assist in their expansion to the west either by direct attack or by eliminating British support for Natives and their alliances. The British support stemmed from the British desire to create a Native buffer state between the Americans and the settlers in Upper Canada. If successful, the Americans would have to contend with the Natives any time they wanted to attack the British and American expansion to the North would be difficult.
For the Americans, war with British North America was an issue of political opportunity and convenience. Napoleon's armies marched with confidence across the continent and it became clear that the British would have to seriously increase their efforts in Europe to prevent French dominance. The British even feared the possibility of a French invasion of the United Kingdom. The minor problems in North America would have to be put on the backburner.
Defending Upper Canada The ½ million settlers who sparsely occupied Canada from the east coast to the western frontiers of the Great Lakes, heard the rumblings from the over 7 million residents to the south. Spread out, vulnerable throughout the transportation chain, hopelessly outnumbered (14-1) and without the hope of real aid from Britain, the defence of the Canadas seemed grim indeed. Sir George Prevost, Governor of the Canadas, realised that he had insufficient troops to protect them (5,600) and decided that Upper Canada was too vulnerable to attack with a long U.S. border and too disaffected (by Late Loyalists) to risk sending out large numbers of troops to defend it. His strategy was to ensure that strongholds like Quebec and Halifax (places that had been successfully defended before) did not fall into American hands and so he concentrated the British regiments that he had in these locations. The few he sent into Upper Canada (1,400) were to be a token defence that, if obviously outnumbered or at risk of capture, would retreat towards the safety of Lower Canada.
The British soldiers were spread along the Great Lakes system, protecting (for the most part) the places where the water narrowed, and countering the American positions to the south. The system of forts protected a waterway over 1500 kilometres long.
Natives. Not surprisingly, the Natives who had settled around the Grand River were reluctant to join into another European style' conflict. Their support of the British during the American Revolution had cost them their lands in the Mohawk valley when the borders were redefined at the end of the war. Newly established in Canada, the Grand River Natives were worried that participation on the British side would give license to American invaders to destroy them and take their properties. This threat was very real and when Hull's Army invaded Amherstburg in 1812, he distributed proclamations threatening the execution of natives, militia and soldiers serving with natives, for the British cause. For the Western Tribes who were struggling for survival against an expanding American population, the American campaigns against the Western Tribes in the 1790's, had only elicited passive British support. The Western Tribes fought to keep possession of their lands before and during the War of 1812. Participation on either side of the 1812 conflict could be disastrous if they supported the losing cause. In a wise move most natives remained neutral until they determined the chances of success for both sides. Brock's decision to move quickly and decisively at the beginning of the conflict helped sway neutral Indians to the British cause and their participation at Mackinac, Detroit and Queenston Heights were key to those British victories.
Black Soldiers on the Niagara frontier. Before the outbreak of war, Richard Pierpoint, a Black veteran of Butler's Rangers suggested raising a corps of coloured men to protect the Niagara Frontier. The Black population was estimated (in the 1790's) at 500 in Upper Canada, with 300 living in the Niagara region. Although Pierpoint's request was denied, in August 1812, a Captain Robert Runchey ( a white Niagara tavern owner) was put in charge of a small corps of free coloured men raised for defence on the Niagara frontier. When the Coloured corps was raised, several black men shifted from the York Militia to join Runchey's corps. In all, the Corps totalled about 50 men, a substantial percentage of the free male black population. The corps garrisoned Fort George and saw constant service throughout the War of 1812, including participation at the battle of Queenston Heights.
Militia and Fencibles To increase the available manpower, Fencible regiments were raised and the militia was evaluated. Militia service was compulsory for men ages 16-60 but when called out, the militia were considered unreliable due to a lack of firearms, minimal training and dubious loyalty. The vocal Late Loyalist population made the American government believe that to take Canada would be a mere matter of marching. because the American Army would be so well received in Upper Canada. To minimize the risk of arming a disaffected populace the best and most loyal Upper Canadian militiamen were formed into smaller Flank Companies. (2,000 of a possible 11,000 militiamen) In addition to the militia, the British formed Fencible regiments. The Fencibles were colonials (Loyalists and settlers); armed, equipped and trained as regular British soldiers, they enlisted for 2 years and were not required to serve beyond the borders of the Canadas.
For the most part the militia swayed with the tides of war, losing enthusiasm when Hull crossed at Amherstburg and regaining it with Brock's victory at Detroit. The militia was poorly paid, housed, fed and equipped. Seasonal restrictions (most notably harvest time) saw the militia desert (returning home) in droves to avoid personal ruin. Their contributions, particularly at Detroit and Queenston Heights, led to a sense of pride in the Canadian militia and helped to build an emerging Canadian identity (The Canadian beaver symbol was used for the first time during the War of 1812) The sense of pride also led to greater surveillance of and discomfort for, the Late Loyalist population.
Niagara. The town of Niagara (Newark) had grown significantly from the small Loyalist settlement, to the provincial capital, to the legal and administrative hub of the Niagara Peninsula. The merchants in town prospered greatly from the presence of the British garrison and the local Indian Department. With the declaration of war in 1812, the amicable ties between the towns of Newark and Youngstown, and the garrisons at Fort George and Fort Niagara came to a halt.
In the Center Division Headquarters at Fort George, Brock, the civil and military administrator for the province disagreed with Prevost's defensive strategy for Upper Canada. Brock felt that passivity would be viewed as acceptance of the inevitability of American invasion and that the best hope of extinguishing the American war effort was to attack the western front immediately upon the declaration of war. Brock understood that while the Americans wanted to annex Upper Canada they didn't have the logistical, political or monetary support to effectively do so. Any chance to make this war less popular (through military defeat) or costly for the Americans, had to be taken to swing political pressure to stop the war. Brock desired quick and decisive action immediately following the declaration of war and his strategy proved very effective in 1812.
Fort George prepares for war. The Fort George complex needed to be changed to be serviceable for the war ahead. Plans were drafted up to reduce the Fort in size to create a stronger defensible works incorporating the north half of the Fort (or section closest to Fort Niagara). The rather temporary and makeshift nature of the original complex was ill suited to meet a crisis. As the 2 countries shared a lengthy border along the Niagara River, the forts at both ends of the river were critical to the flow of supplies and troops. Like the eastern end of the lake (at Kingston) American control in Niagara would prove fatal to the posts further inland (although the Americans realised this they chose to ignore the wisdom of this strategy as Kingston was a well defended port) .
The complex at Fort George was responsible for a vast area. From Two Mile Creek (2 miles beyond the mouth of the Niagara River) to Queenston Heights (11 km up river) was the military responsibility of Fort George. The Fort George area was manned by 200 regular soldiers and 300 militiamen and at Queenston 100 regulars and 200 militiamen served. A short distance beyond that, troops watched the Chippawa area (100 regulars and 200 militiamen) and another small contingent was stationed at Fort Erie (200 regulars and 200 militiamen). In all, roughly 600 regular soldiers and 900 militiamen protected the lengthy Niagara frontier.
Every available piece of artillery was dragged out and placed at strategic points along the river to support the main fortifications but there were very few cannons available. Troops patrolled the length of the river and dispatch riders and semaphore telegraphs passed communications throughout the line. A system of bonfires was established which were to be ignited to warn of invasion and call out the militia. Paralleling the British efforts, forts, batteries and soldiers lined the length of the American side as well. The enemy was dangerously close and an attack could come at any time.
In October, in conjunction with the crossing at Queenston and the battle at Queenston Heights Forts George and Niagara exchanged artillery fire. Both the town and the garrison sustained serious damage from the exchange.
On the right, an American spy map circa 1812 (Titled Plan of the English Fort GEORGE) shows the interior layout of the Fort at its reduced size. To the left, to illustrate the division, detail of an 1816 map shows the outlines of the first Fort with the reduced complex at roughly the same size and orientation as the American version.
President Madison and the Warhawks were anxious for war while Britain was so obviously engaged with Napoleon. On June 1st President Madison presented a bill of reasons for officially declaring war on Britain. The bill cited 4 British maritime offences and British support of the hostile western tribes as the primary reasons for war, and was passed on June 18th, 1812. The war was not universally popular. Representing the 17 States, the House of Representatives voted (June 4, 1812) 79 - 49 in favour of the bill and the Senate voted (June 17, 1812) 19 -13 in favour of war. Within a week, news of the declaration of war had reached Quebec, Montreal, York and Newark.
The American attack was to focus in three areas: the Detroit area, the Niagara region, and Montreal. Command of the assault on Canada was given to Major General Henry Dearborn who set up headquarters at Albany, New York. Dearborn tried desperately to co-ordinate his 3 armies to attack simultaneously to overwhelm Upper Canada, but was politically thwarted (lack of state government support for troops) from achieving this goal. Co-ordination of the American militia and regular soldiers was almost impossible and Dearborn and his Brigadier Generals, Hull, Van Rensselaer and Smyth would all meet with individual defeat in the first year of the war.

Rock and Jazz Festivals Tune into Climate Friendly Concerts
Nairobi/Arendal, 21 July 2008 - Two top Norwegian music festivals are joining the international fight against climate change.
They are the Hove Festival, a rock event that this year featured acts including Beck, Duffy, and rapper Jay-Z, and Canal Street - a jazz and blues festival that opens today featuring legends John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers, and The Waterboys.
The two festivals, run from the southern city of Arendal, are the first music festivals to sign on to the UNEP Climate Neutral Network (CN Net).
The network, whose other participants include countries such as Costa Rica and New Zealand; cities and companies, aims to federate solutions and actions to realize a low, even zero pollution world.
The two summer festivals believe they could become a blueprint for a green global music festival movement in partnership with UNEP.
The main purpose of the partnership is to create a European network of music festivals that can learn from each other, challenge each other and push each other to become even more sustainable in the future.
Eventually it is hoped to federate the initiatives to other continents such as Asia and North America.
Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary General and UNEP's Executive Director, said:" The greening of live musical events represents an opportunity to lower the carbon footprint of not only the entertainment industry, but those of millions, if not hundreds of millions of people world-wide".
"The Hove Festival and Canal Street can serve as models for musical and entertainment events everywhere. Climate change top the charts as the number one challenge facing this planet. Unless all sectors of society step up to the bar and address this challenge, we will all be singing the blues," he said.
This musical event attracts audiences of some 50,000.
Morten Sandberg, the festival's organizer, said that the carbon footprint of the 2007 festival accounted for just over 1,300 tons. This was calculated among others by the use of a specially developed online carbon calculator and in close cooperation with CO2-emissions data experts. This year's carbon footprint is now being quality checked, and we are eager to see the difference and analyze this further in order to learn more about how we can continuously reduce our impact on the climate.
Participants, including staff and acts, where invited to pay by SMS or credit card for their individual carbon footprint caused by their travel to the festival and during the event's operations.
The funds are being used to support a methane-into-electricity project on a landfill in China approved by the United Nations as a Clean Development Mechanism project.
Other energy saving measures at the Hovefestival included solar charging points for mobile phones, electric golf carts for on site travelling, and LED lighting systems powered by wind and solar power.
In 2008 targets were also set for boosting recycling from a fifth to 50 per cent. Public awareness eco-debates were also held in cooperation with GRID-Arendal, UNEP's polar centre.
Mr Sandberg said: "The leaders of the Hove Festival have been in the international music industry for the last 18 years and have a unique network, which includes other leading festivals as well as international booking and management companies of rock stars and bands all around the world.".
"We are sure that this new UNEP led music network can grow to become as powerful as the network UNEP already has established with the sports industry, including the Olympic Games and the FIFA World Cup," he added.
Canal Street
This jazz and blues festival, which opens today in Arendal, has also adopted a raft of climate and environmentally friendly measures for the 30,000-audience event.
These include certified organic and Fairtrade T-shirts; the introduction of organic cotton and paper bags in the city area to reduce plastic bag use, and the sourcing of certified green energy for the concerts.
The festival has through several years been building up an environmental profile, and is cooperating with the Hovefestival among others on the mapping of the carbon footprint and on how to reduce the energy consumption of the festival.
Funds raised by the offsets are also going to support UN-approved Clean Development Mechanisms in China.
Hans Birger Nilsen, Canal Street's organizer, said: "I think there are enormous opportunities to take these ideas forward to an even larger audience. One of the first opportunities will be to share our experiences and actions at Europe's Jazz and Blues Congress in November".

Recensioni Utenti - Stati Uniti
Wanted a Golf GPS for xmas and instead my wife got me an iPhone plus GolfShot for about $100 less. Have played two rounds so far and absolutely LOVE it... VERY happy she went this route. First round one of the players had a skycaddy and second round one had a Garmin G5... this app worked comparably with both on the GPS side... but kicked their butt as far as the picture, scoring, etc. Every golfer was jealous and wanted to get an iPhone just for this app! VERY important to learn how to use it and conserve battery. First game I had trouble keeping the GPS on and ran out of batter... learned to use the GPS standby mode (phone standby but GPS active) and had huge improvement on the back 9 and second round. Finished 4+ hour round today with 30% remaining on my battery... Garmin guy had to replace his batteries half way through the round! Key to good accuracy is to set the phone still for about 60" before you take the reading... if you are in a rush, use the map to determine your location and drag the 'layup' to your point... quick linear distance. Very surprised after my first round when I got an email at home with my completed scorecard! Can't praise it enough... well worth the price.
It's easy to use the app, easy to see and very accurate on yardages. I would buy it again n a heart beat. I wasted my $$$ on a Sky Caddy in the past.
This is a very good app.
This is a great app! When I first saw it I was pretty skeptical, but comparing its $30 price to that of its stand alone competitors, I decided to give it a try. Wow! My home course wasn't listed, so I contacted the website, sent them copies of the scorecards of each of our three nines, and within a day or two the course was listed. I find the yardages to be spot on, and the options to calculate yardages to the 100 yard and 150 yard layup spots are great. Having immediate access to my stats via the iPhone is a real handy feature - it sure tells me where I've got to improve! When I show my golfing buddies the stats feature, and then email them our latest scorecard, they are all impressed, too. The site is very responsive to input, and I can't say enough good things about this app - great value for the money. (The latest version allows you to pick a different starting hole - great for shotgun starts. Also, now has a power saving feature that keeps you on the GPS grid while letting the screen go to black.)
I was skeptical but it was much better than I imagined. The distances don't always match other devices but they are close enough. The scoring feature is a real plus
I absolutely love this application. I use it every time I golf. The accuracy is amazing, speed is good, and the ease of use and historical information is wonderful.
Works for my local courses..want to try outof state courses.
I love the app as it really helps during the round. The only issue I have had is adding players to include a 5th player in a round for scoring.
I am a 9 handicapper and I love this app! Not only does it give me all the gps info, but the stat tracking helps me identify areas of my game that need work.
This app has been very benificial to me. In addition to helping with distances on golf courses I am unfamiliar with, it keeps score for 4 people. It has eliminated the dreaded "paper trail" thereby saving trees. It is EASY to use.
This is a terrific app that will meet most golfer's needs. It's very inexpensive and no need for annual fees. I have not played a course I couldn't find in the database yet. The drainage on the the iphone (mine's a 3GS) is not nearly as bad as you would think. As long as you don't have it constantly running and follow their suggestions, I would go from 100% charge down to the 70% range at most with 1 full round. I recommend this highly.
I have been using Golfshot for over a year and I highly recommend it. It's very easy to use, is a great scorecard and a good GPS device. Scoring is quick and easy, it automatially emails you and your playing partners the scorecard after the round, tracks stats, etc. Not having to carry/charge an addtl device is worth it in itself. Battery life is an issue - I recommend a combo case/backup battery for the iphone (I use one from Mophie). The ability to see aerial view of holes and to actually pinpoint anyplace you want to hit it to and see distance to that spot and from there to the green is incredibly helpful especially on courses you're playing for the first time. Here's what keeps it from being 5 stars. - GPS speed. If you turn off the iphone between shots as you'll probably want to do it will take between 30 and 60 seconds to lock back in on GPS. It's fairly manageable - I turn the device back on as I'm walking up to my ball but it does slow you down sometimes. - GPS accuracy. It's pretty accurate but it doesn't take elevation changes into account. I suppose that's because yardages are figured out from a 2 dimensional aerial view. It's not hard though, once you know that to account for that. - More stats. I love to track my golf stats. While this does a great job at the basics - fairways hit/left/right, number of putts - I would love to see the ability to input the type of shot (full, chip, pitch, bunker, punch), length of putt, etc. so you can really analyze all portions of your game. - Games. Would love it if you could track games, bets, etc. The ability to set up custom games (we all have our variations and quirks) would be great. Even with the issues and wish list this app is a no-brainer. Buy it and love it. But I'd like to see the designers come out with a major upgrade in the near future.
Absolutely the best golf app, made even better with the companion Golf Plan for the iPad.
I have been using this app for a year and simply love it. You won't be disappointed.
Just love version GPS 1.5; how do I get ver. 1.6 on my IPhone?
Just upgraded from my old 3g iPhone (which had a horrible GPS) to a new 3gs and this app is awesome! The 3gs locks on gps within seconds compared to my old 3g which took about 3-5 minutes and was less accurate! Love this app, but just played 9 holes, so don't know yet if battery will be an issue (I had about 75% left after today). (update. Played 18 and battery drain is too much for constant use, but the gps locks on so quickly that with judicious use, got through the whole round with 30% battery life left)
I have been using this for about a year now.
I like the score keeping. GPS is fairly good
This app will hold it's own against the much more expensive golf GPS units on the market. The aerial view feature helps visualize the course, including the location of hazards. Yardage data helps in shot planning and club selection. The save scorecard feature lets the golfer quickly and easily review any and/or all rounds that have been played. One slight negative is that occasionally it will take a little time for the satellite to pick up the correct distance(s) on some holes, so the golfer has to wait for an accurate reading.
Better than any of my other golf GPS devices.
Best app I have. I spent $500.00 for a sky caddy that must download courses from my computer and has an annual fee. This App is better in every respect
I loaded this application about 6 months ago and love it! The GPS is very accurate. Depending on the course you are playing, sometimes you need to wait a little bit before selecting a club. I've played the wrong distances a couple times because I forgot to give it a minute. A big plus I didn't expect is it keeps my handicap and updates immediately after a round is saved. Also being a stat nut, I enjoy that it tracks fairways, greens, sand, penalties and putts. Finally, the guys in my group really like getting the scorecard automatically emailed to them after a round.
This is such a great app. As an avid golfer I love the ability to track all of my stats and that this app was far less than my buddies expensive golf gps. Great job!!
I use this for each round and really enjoy it. Frequent useful updates. The GPS is extremely responsive with the current version. I thought this was an iPhone limitation but am amazed at how short a time it now takes to settle on the distance. Excellent and quick scoring, and I like how it sends emailed scorecards to the foursome. The stats are well thought out and useful.
Golfshot GPS works just as well as any stand alone golf GPS. I compared yardages to another GPS unit I own and they were with a yard of being the same. My only negative is that if yor course is not where network connections are available then the arial view may not available but I'm more interested in yardages anyway. I also wonder if the battery life of the iPhone will be enough to complete an 18 round. I used 60% of the battery reserve for just 9 holes. Over all, the Golfshot GPS did exactly what I wanted and is a great value for under $30. What more can I say? Nice job Golfshot folks. Version 1.6: I don't find the ability to post score on Facebook or Twitter to be of any value. Seems to take longer to load courses. Sometimes I have to exit Golfshot and restart the program and browse the file to find the course I'm playing. GolfShot can't alwways find the course from the GPS location. Yardages are acurate but not all scorecrds have the correct listing of pars or yardages which can make handicaps incorrect.

Crunch It: 14 Chips and Snack Mix Recipes
Sauces help bring out the best in a single ingredient or entire dish, while toppings are the proverbial "cherry on top." Check out these sweet and savory recipes where sauces and toppings take center stage.
This dish is loosely based on one that René Redzepi makes at his Copenhagen restaurant, Noma, using Nordic herbs instead of cilantro and pickled vegetables in place of citrus. Redzepi doesn't serve much meat at Noma; instead, he uses tricks like turning a richly flavored chicken jus into a sauce for the salad.

Bazaar's Guide to the Frieze Art Fair
A mid a sea of velour tracksuits and spandex tube dresses, Gia Coppola sticks out like an haute couture thumb. She's wandering Las Vegas Boulevard, the main thoroughfare of Sin City, in a tiered fire-engine-red Valentino gown when the desert winds kick up and the edges of the dress billow into the air, creating a cinematic effect that amuses the young director. She spins, provoking oohs and aahs from a small gaggle of tourists, who frantically paw through fanny packs for their digital cameras. A few minutes later, a little farther down the Strip, now in a gilded, asymmetrically hemmed Chanel dress, Gia jumps atop a trash can between a pair of showgirls and strikes a pose in front of the Paris Hotel's iconic Eiffel Tower. "Do you think Godard would approve?" she asks with a smile.
Gia's sense of ease in the somewhat incongruous Vegas habitat may stem from the fact that she's spent a fair amount of time here—a shocking amount of time, considering that her (and her family's) aesthetic is the polar opposite of the techno, insomnia-fueled vibe of the Nevada hot spot. As it turns out, it's a good place for the Coppolas to work. "My grandfather [director Francis Ford Coppola] taught me that. When I was young, he brought me here because it's a great place to write," the petite brunette, 25, explains. "It's open 24 hours, you can get a burger whenever you want it, and, since everything is inside in Las Vegas, you never know what time it is. You don't feel pressure to do something before the sun sets." Not that her time in this town is always so productive. "I've come back a few times with friends to try that exercise again, but I didn't end up writing much. I got a lot of crazy stories out of it, though."
Interestingly, Gia's strong family ties have served to influence her ambitions. She grew up splitting her time between Los Angeles and the Coppola vineyard in Napa Valley. After high school, she went east to Bard to study photography. "When I graduated, I felt a little burned-out on taking pictures after so many years of churning out so many for classes," she says. So she started making short films, notably with such labels as Opening Ceremony and Wren, which use her narratives as look books. "I was excited by film because it added something new to what I was already doing. I liked writing, developing characters, telling a story, and using different, more complex cameras." Having a couple of Oscar winners in the clan didn't hurt. "I'm always asking my family for advice, and they're always lending me their equipment." Her multifaceted pedigree is the product of a complicated family tree. Gia's father, Gian-Carlo Coppola (Francis's son and Sofia's brother), died before she was born.
All things considered, it's no surprise that Gia is intelligent, thoughtful, artsy, and casually cosmopolitan. The last quality suits her well, particularly this weekend as she attends the opening of the Chanel exhibition "Numéros Privés" at the Wynn hotel. "Chanel is a brand that is so inspiring," she says. And the setting? "Most people think of Las Vegas and they think of extravagance," Coppola reflects. "But it's really a mix between fantasy and laziness." She wonders aloud if the same could be said about her own style. Her mother, Jacqui Getty, sums up Gia's look: "Very elegant but with an edge. Between my background in costume design and her aunt Sofia, not to mention traveling and experiencing so many cultures, she really is a stew." Indeed, Gia hardly falls prey to the usual L.A. girl stereotypes. Comfort is her ultimate calling card. "Most girls love the highest shoes, especially in a town like this," she says, laughing. "And I admire those girls, but I can't do it. If I'm not comfortable, I just look awkward."
Pictured above: Life is a cabaret. Gia redefines the cancan with a duo of local showgirls while in Vegas for a Chanel exhibition. Chanel Paris-Bombay dress and bag. 800-550-0005. Albertus Swanepoel hat. Cartier watch. Gia's own Converse.

Leafs Nation Podcast Number 5
Leafs Nation Podcast
February 29 2012 10:51PM
This week's podcast features Pension Plan Puppets leader and sometimes Leafs Nation contributor Chemmy. If you are looking for some feel-good trade deadline pump-uppery, this is not the place to find it. Danny Gray (affectionately known as Granny Day), Chemmy and myself have a pretty critical look at almost all angles of the Leafs' current predicament.
1. Did the Leafs "miss out" on Jeff Carter?
Interlude: "Long May You Love" by Jason Collett
2. To trade Grabovski (and canonizing Brian Burke)
Interlude: "Ragged Wood" by Fleet Foxes
3. Is Jack Johnson really that bad? Well, Scott Howson is, anyway.
Interlude: "Brainy" by The National
4. The Leafs' "D", and cap flexibility
Interlude: "Run (I'm A Natural Disaster)" by Gnarls Barkley
5. Ron Wilson needs to go
Interlude: "Future Primitive" by Papercuts
6. Reimer is an average goalie, and Gustavsson is a pumpkin
Outro: "Numb" by Portishead
Once again, thanks for listening! Please leave any comments or suggestions at the bottom!
Good stuff in here as usual.
The section on the Senators had me wincing in agreement, if that makes any sense.
You look at their roster, and that of Phoenix's, for example and you wonder how they're getting it done. Neither one of those teams are world beaters and you can make a case that both are demonstrably worse than the leafs on paper.
But they don't play on paper, they play on ice. And both those teams are going to make the playoffs AND somehow have better high-end young talent coming up through their system.
It's baffling and heart-breaking all at once.
Goaltending is the big problem this year, but that doesn't mask a lot of other bad things. OTher teams coaches and GMs are getting more out of less. Why aren't we?
I dunno but we haven't since about 2003 and that just about makes me want to off myself.
March 01 2012, 11:04AM
People always say that diehard Leafs fans bleed blue and white, but after listening to that podcast I slit my wrists and my blood was red. Does that mean I'm a Habs fan? I'm scared.....and light headed from all the blood loss.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- It got its start in 1863, as a group of doctors' wives supporting a one-room infirmary for people who couldn't afford health care on Staten Island.
Now, the Staten Island University Hospital Auxiliary is the oldest continuous auxiliary in the country, and on Sunday, the organization will be celebrating its 150th anniversary.
The auxiliary formally came together on Nov. 20, 1863, as the Ladies Auxiliary of the S.R. Smith Infirmary.
"It started off as a society fundraiser," said auxiliary president Barbara Strype. The group raised money to keep the infirmary going, even going so far as securing the funds needed to buy a cow so they could provide milk for its patients, she said.
"We still support the hospital by our fundraising," Ms. Strype said.
Recent efforts include funding for free colonscopies, security measures for newborns in the hospital maternity area, and a bereavement wall for parents who have lost infants or children, she said.
The auxiliary founded the hospital's first charity ball, and at the 131st annual ball this past spring, its members pledged $350,000 over the next seven years for the Florina Rusi-Marke Comprehensive Breast Center.
"We cherish all the good we have been able to do together in the past, just as we partner in accomplishing our present goals," said SIUH President and CEO Anthony C. Ferreri in a prepared statement.
The auxiliary is slated to celebrate its anniversary Sunday night, from 6 to 10 p.m., at the Hilton Garden Inn's Above Rooftop in Bloomfield.
